From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

"what happened?"

Zhang Zhiwei hurriedly asked.

"It's possible that some of the Devouring Beasts had been hiding at the bottom of the tower until they were discovered just now, breaching the defensive platform and causing heavy losses to the core members of the city's defense forces. As for Ned, the supervising officer, the guy whose arms and legs you broke, he most likely shot and killed Hilda."

Based on the commotion, Hong Guniang deduced the general situation.

Zhang Zhiwei was taken aback upon hearing this and said speechlessly, "I saved Orland because he had guts, but the person he loved died right before his eyes."

Was it ASH, or was it caused by that will?

"It is said that the Kloto system can calculate the trajectory of every particle in the world, but it is probably unable to accurately calculate the fluctuations of human emotions."

The implied meaning.

It's highly likely that Ned acted on his own initiative, rather than being the result of Clotho's calculations.

“Nassenger is not a qualified commander. The plan was flawed from the beginning, and he couldn’t see the situation clearly, but at least he had some guts and chose to resist Charles.”

"And Charles made a fatal mistake, treating people like eggs," Red Girl commented.

If you're going to invest, you definitely need multiple insurance options; you can't put all your eggs in one basket to avoid losing money.

However, humans are beings with emotions and nature. Even under the system of the three laws, ordinary people and superior people still possess feelings.

This uncertainty determines the complexity and variability of human nature.

Orland, willing to sacrifice himself for the lighthouse and daring to express his love for Hilda...

Seng, stunned as he fought the Devouring Beasts with a gun, was revealed to have "lost" the battle by Hilda...

Ned fired the gun because Hilda gave the most correct order at the time, but Ned felt she had overstepped her authority...

great!

Feeling lost!

indifferent!

These are all manifestations of human nature.

Furthermore, human nature is not static. Take Orland as an example. He was willing to sacrifice himself for the Lighthouse before, but now, after witnessing Hilda die at the hands of the war inspector sent by Charles, his love instantly turned into hatred—hatred for Charles, hatred for the Three Laws, and even hatred for the Lighthouse itself.

Sacrifice for the lighthouse?

No way!

"I still hope that guy can get through this." Zhang Zhiwei sighed, once again boosting the morale of the common people, ready to fight the Devouring Beasts that would follow.

Indeed.

With the abilities of Hong Guniang and Lu Jin, unlocking their genetic locks and going all out, splitting the entire beast mountain below in two wouldn't be a problem.

But can they continue to act as a protective umbrella for the lighthouse?

It is better to teach people to fish than to teach people.

Furthermore.

Below, within the mountain formed by the Devouring Beasts, besides the mountain-like two-jawed beast, there were other things emitting a unique magnetic field—

They didn't know exactly what it contained either.

therefore.

To be on the safe side, we cannot attack rashly. Otherwise, if the unknown thing inside explodes and is extremely powerful, everyone on the lighthouse will be doomed!

Just as Hong Guniang and Zhang Zhiwei were on high alert, Sengge led the remaining core members of the city defense army into the inner passage.

First, they went to Dr. Carrie's ecological research institute and took away the Abyss, then they went to Charles's childhood home and took away Morgan, who was already suffering from dementia.

"Sengge, what exactly are you trying to do?" Victor asked coldly.

"Mind your own business, General Victor. We just want to live, and in terms of the Three Laws, old Morgan should have gone far away long ago, instead of staying here wasting the resources of the Lighthouse! The same goes for you!"

Seng's tone grew even colder as he pointed his gun at Victor. "Don't pretend to be a good guy. I witnessed the carnage when the Three Laws were promulgated!"

Victor was speechless and could only watch as Seng and the others took Morgan away...

Chapter 1233 The Arrival of the "Lord of Light and Shadow" (Part 1)

With old Morgan by his side, and carrying the one on the edge of the abyss.

Seng led his men toward the central command hall.

Push open the door.

What came into view were the well-organized members of the Light and Shadow Society and the Law Firm, who questioned Seng: "Seng, the Lighthouse is in a critical moment of life and death. Why aren't you preparing for battle on the defense platform? What are you doing here with them?"

boom!

The moment the gun fired, the bullet pierced the head of this member of the Light and Shadow Society, and he fell into a pool of blood.

Before long, all the members of the Light and Shadow Society and the Law Institute were suppressed.

Fan Lu rebuked, "Sengge, what exactly do you want to do?"

Sengge ignored Charles's "nanny," gave a glance to his bodyguard, who immediately went up the stairs, dragged Fanlu down the steps, pressed him to the ground, and shouted, "Surrender, or don't blame us for shooting you!"

Fandi wanted to fight Seng, but how could he possibly harm Seng, who was dressed in heavy armor? He was stomped on the ground and sneered, "Considering that we have worked together for many years, I can spare your life, as long as you know what's good for you."

"Sengge, are you crazy?!"

Vatican was both shocked and furious.

But what she received in return was a kick from Sengge, who was wearing heavy protective gear. The kick sent her flying three to five meters, crashing into the steps. Her internal organs trembled, and she could no longer get up.

"Aren't you all insane? The lighthouse is in imminent danger, yet instead of fighting, you gather here to pray—"

At this point, Seng's gaze fell on Charles, whose brows were furrowed. "This central command hall is almost turning into another Light and Shadow Society!"

Charles, you're really being willful!

And what's more, I've done so much dirty and tiring work for you, and you just want to watch me go and die? Is this how you act as a city lord?

Faced with the mockery, Charles gritted his teeth and growled, "I've given you everything I could! Whatever you've done for me, all you've earned in return is the duty to uphold the lighthouse!"

I never said we couldn't abandon the drilling rig, but in any case, the order had to be given by you, the commander-in-chief. Hilda shouldn't have overstepped her authority. Ned was right!

Since ancient times, soldiers who desert in the face of battle should be executed without exception!

It's your incompetence! You made grand promises but failed to fulfill your mission. You retreated out of fear, dared not take responsibility, and were unwilling to hand over power to Hong Guniang!

And because of your own selfish feelings, you used my refusal to fire your electromagnetic cannon as a pretext to incite a mutiny among the soldiers, leading to their betrayal of the lighthouse... All of this is due to your incompetence!

Ned's fate...

Charles himself didn't care, but if he backed down now, not only would his prestige as the city lord be damaged, but the surviving members of the Light and Shadow Society would also be greatly disappointed in him, thus turning against Seng.

Therefore!

He wanted to completely deny every reason that Senger had given for betraying him!

Right or wrong?

He doesn't care either!

and!

As the city lord, he, Charles, is absolutely right!

"Ha! Personal feelings?"

Seng sneered and stepped aside. The city guards behind him immediately pushed Morgan, who was sitting in a wheelchair, out of the way and carried Lin Yuanzhe to Charles's side.

"Everyone!"

"Open your eyes and take a good look!"

“Morgan! The previous city lord! According to the life formula, he should have descended to earth and traveled far away long ago, but he still exists on the lighthouse, consuming the lighthouse's resources!”

These words were mainly addressed to the surviving members of the Light and Shadow Society and the law firm, and those who did not have a firm trust in Charles found it hard to believe.

Without him.

Many people know that Morgan is still in the Lighthouse, but this certainly doesn't include the ordinary members of the Light and Shadow Society.

“Charles!”

Seeing that he had achieved his goal, Seng turned to Charles and said, "You're slandering me for being afraid to take responsibility?"

So what are you then?

As the lord of the Lighthouse, you have openly defied the three laws of the Lighthouse!

Those who are going on a long journey should not be seen off!

Sever all family ties, without exception!

What crime should be punished?

Or perhaps, the Three Laws are merely tools for your rule over the Beacon, which both the Upper Class and the Lower Class must obey, while you, father and son, enjoy special privileges?

Upon seeing Morgan, who suffers from dementia, Charles realized that Senger's actions were not a simple betrayal, but rather a well-prepared one, leaving him speechless for a moment.

Upon seeing Charles display such an ugly expression for the first time, Seng sneered, "According to the rules of the Lighthouse, those who preserve old-world family relationships deserve to be burned at the stake."

But considering I worked under you for a while, I'll grant your wish—”

Seng pointed at the Abysswalker and chuckled, "I know you've always craved the Abysswalker's power! Put it on!"

"do not want!"

Fan Lu's eyes trembled. "Those with Scarlet Syndrome who enter the Abyss will only face death! Lord City Lord, don't go in! They just want you dead! They don't dare to actually kill you!"

Charles glared at Seng, but Seng raised his hand slightly, and nearby Orland, dressed in heavy armor, pointed his gun at Morgan and stared intently at Charles, roaring, "The war supervisor of the Light and Shadow Society represents your will, Charles!"

Hilda will die...

Ultimately, it's your fault, you bastard!

just now!

"Do as the commander says immediately and enter the Abyss, or I'll make you taste the pain of losing a loved one!"

Orlando.
