From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

"Charles won't die so easily."

Zhang Zhiwei's words reassured them, but his next sentence only made them angrier. He said, "After all, I haven't even used my full strength yet."

"The city lord will absolutely not let you get away with this!"

Brahma's eyes widened in fury, and he uttered the most vicious curse.

Zhang Zhiwei simply laughed it off, saying, "Since City Lord Charles is wearing the Abyss Walker's robes, he should be fighting against the Devouring Beasts alongside us. But he attacked me as soon as he came out, so he must have been 'possessed' by that Abyss Walker."

His voice was loud and clear, and everyone present could hear him clearly.

"Those Abyss-Dwellers are clearly products of the ecosystem. Currently, the Lighthouse's effective methods against the Devouring Beasts still rely on what we provide... Under these circumstances, they dare to research using the Mana ecosystem to create armor—"

"How arrogant!"

Before Fan Lu could speak, Zhang Zhiwei turned his attention to Morgan, who was still telling the story of "The Little Mermaid," and asked the Dustman beside him, "Who is this old man in the wheelchair?"

"It's the former city lord! Morgan!"

In an instant.

All the dust people present recognized Morgan!

Does he have Alzheimer's disease?

"Wait! According to the life formula, he should go on a long journey!"

Why are you still staying on the lighthouse?

"Are the three laws of the lighthouse only applicable to us mere mortals?"

"And it also affects the common people!"

A reserve member of the city's defense forces roared angrily.

Why didn't Morgan go on a long trip?

"The Three Laws were clearly promulgated by Morgan!"

"Does the city lord have special privileges?"

"No! It's the city lord's entire family that enjoys special privileges!"

"Charles is Morgan's son!"

"Jingnan is Morgan's daughter!"

“I once heard that Charles became the head of the Light and Shadow Society when he was seven or eight years old!”

This moment!

Jingnan was also flustered.

She didn't want to push Morgan out, but when she came out, she saw a member of the Light and Shadow Society wearing a mask pushing a wheelchair out.

Helpless, she had no choice but to keep Morgan by her side to prevent him from getting hurt.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, he became the target of everyone's criticism!

"quiet!"

The young woman gave a soft shout, her voice resounding throughout the heavens and earth, silencing the city's defense troops, reserves, and commoners alike.

In the past, neither the city defense army nor the common people could be considered to have strict military discipline; they could only be said to be relatively law-abiding. This time, after only half a year of training from Hong Guniang and Zhang Zhiwei, they have become organized and disciplined, and they also have a vague understanding of what they are fighting for.

Why did Charles join the Abyss?

The young woman asked Jingnan Dao.

"It was the city defense commander-in-chief, Sengge, who betrayed us and forced the city lord to enter!" It was Fanlu who spoke.

"Translate this."

Although Fan Lu was just a pretty face, Hong Guniang still showed him a certain degree of respect, after all, he had a human body. However, what she wanted was for Jing Nan to answer this question.

"Can't you understand human language?"

Vatican questioned, "It was Seng who betrayed the city lord!"

"Ah."

Red Girl also showed Vatican respect, nodded, and continued to ask Jingnan, "Translate~ Translate!"

Everyone's breath caught in their throats.

They suspected that Hong Guniang might have some grudge against Jingnan.

Jingnan also frowned, wondering what Hong Guniang wanted her to "translate".

Is the intention to sever her ties with Morgan?

Or should we blame Charles?

Or is it simply a declaration of loyalty to the other party?

Time ticked by, and Jingnan was already drenched in sweat as he faced those burning eyes.

She was a strong woman who could remain calm and collected in front of an "old rogue" and a rascal like Flynn, but she couldn't bear the gaze of everyone present.

Finally, she took a deep breath and decided to follow her heart, looking directly at the girl in red and saying, "Because Charles did not approve Seng's use of the electromagnetic cannon, Seng felt that Charles had abandoned him, or that he was unwilling to take responsibility, so he chose to force Charles and used Lord Morgan to control Charles's weakness."

"Excuse me--"

Finally, Hong Guniang stopped repeating herself and asked the next question, "Can the city lord's family be exempt from the constraints of the three laws?"

Jingnan suddenly looked up and realized what Hong Guniang was trying to do.

Abolish the Three Laws!

But why should she be the one to speak?

In a flash, Jingnan realized the reason.

The lighthouse's navigation control room needs her to take command!

and also--

She is Morgan's daughter!

Even if she's just an adopted daughter!

Only when she spoke up did things truly break down...

No! That's not right!

Given the current situation, even if I don't speak, the breaking of the three laws is inevitable. The other party... wants to save face for me!

Jingnan understood the thoughts of Hong Guniang, Zhang Zhiwei, and Lu Jin, knowing that they truly regarded the common people as their own and would not change their attitude because of her.

Therefore.

If she, the daughter of the city lord, doesn't break through this gap herself, then they, the commoners behind them, and the reserve city defense troops will help her maintain "decency"!

Red Girl recognized the importance of her position as the chief commander of the lighthouse navigation control room and knew that she needed to live to continue contributing to the lighthouse and the future of humanity.

"The city lord must also abide by the three major laws."

Jingnan remained calm, but added, "However, the three laws are clearly no longer suitable for the current situation. Only when everyone is united can we protect the lighthouse."

At this moment, only by changing the three laws of the lighthouse can Morgan remain on the lighthouse.

Following Jingnan's statement, department heads and commanders also spoke out in support of the changes to the three laws of the Lighthouse, in order to protect the Lighthouse.

"If that's the case—"

Red Girl's gaze fell on the only group that had not yet spoken out—the Light and Shadow Society and the Law Firm. "From this day forward, the Light and Shadow Society will be disbanded, and all members will form a group to join the ranks of those who guard the lighthouse."

"Don't expect us to risk our lives for you!"

Fan Lu gritted his teeth.

"As the only religion of the lighthouse, do you pray for the lighthouse's survival, or for Charles?"

Zhang Zhiwei asked without changing his expression.

"Of course, it's for the sake of the City Lord!"

Brahma was like a fanatic; even now that Charles had been driven into the wild, he still only believed in him.

Vatican, along with the other members of the Light and Shadow Society and the Law Institute, chose to remain silent.

"You...you all!"

As for the others, that was fine. The most devout people who longed for the city lord had been slaughtered by Seng and his city defense guards. The remaining fence-sitters did not respond, which was within Fan Lu's expectations. But he never thought that Fan Ti would also choose to remain silent!

Could it be that he also betrayed the city lord?!

Do you really think you can kill me?

A loud voice came from below the lighthouse. Then, the clouds dispersed and the cold wind blew. Charles, dressed as the Abyss Walker, stood out of thin air outside the elevator platform. The helmet that Zhang Zhiwei had shattered was restored to its original state, as if it had the corresponding repair function.

"Lord City Lord!"

Fan Lu was overjoyed.

Charles then said, "The Three Laws are crucial to the Lighthouse's survival! But the City Lord is not required to abide by them! Because it is the City Lord who has upheld this achievement!"

Let me translate—

Zhang Zhiwei activated the gene lock again, sneered, and said sarcastically, "So, the dust people of the Lighthouse can be discarded at will, and the upper people can be used for experiments to activate the Abyss, but you, and those related to you by blood and kinship, cannot be sacrificed?"

The Little Mermaid picked up a dagger and stabbed it into her own fishtail...

Morgan recounted the story of "The Little Mermaid" once more, his hoarse voice ringing out clearly on the silent platform.

"I endured the corrosive effects of the Crimson Essence, entered the Abyss, and merged with it under the scorching heat of flames, gaining supreme power!"

Like Zhang Zhiwei, Charles "translated" Morgan's words: "No one else, whether upper class or commoner, has experienced as much suffering as I have. They don't deserve to have a family! They don't deserve to have [love]!"

Zhang Zhiwei remained silent.

The girl in red did not speak.

Lu Jin did not speak.

They all simply watched Charles silently, until—

"Why?"
