Chapter 170 Xu Jiang’s bad fate

Regardless of Baozi's desire to die, everyone was still very happy to see Xu Jiang's return and came up to ask them about their situation.

"We heard the sound of fighting just now, are you okay?"

"It's okay, that's the result of monsters killing each other."

"Monsters killing each other?"

Listening to Xu Jiang's simple explanation of the situation, everyone looked at each other. Are even monsters helping them these days?

Just when everyone was thinking about the possibility of provoking civil strife and attacking the exit, a voice interrupted their random thoughts.

[Sometimes, right and wrong cannot be judged by appearances alone. This is an illusion, and the monsters who help you are not necessarily good monsters.]

These words, full of admonishment, suddenly came out from Xu Jiang's communicator, startling everyone.

"This voice? It's the mayor!"

[It’s me, Xu Jiang, who used the secret method, and I’m lucky enough to be linked to everyone.]

Mayor Rabbit is trying hard to maintain his image. He learned from the practice of a famous detective in the past, hiding behind Xu Jiang, and using his mind to project sounds on Xu Jiang's communicator.

In this way, you can not only comfortably rub your ears, but also talk to everyone, killing two birds with one stone.

The mayor's voice appeared, which greatly boosted everyone's fighting spirit.

"Mayor, please arrange rescue quickly. We were attacked by a strong man without a face and we are all injured now."

[I know everyone's situation, but unfortunately, this cave is a very scary existence, and it is useless for the rescue team to enter it. 】

What he said was a bit heartless, but Mayor Rabbit didn't want to give everyone useless expectations.

In this place, except for Xu Jiang's mecha characteristics, few people can resist the illusion and arrange rescue, which is no different from sending someone to death.

[Of course, it’s not that you don’t have a chance, it’s just that Xu Jiang is more dangerous. 】

Xu Jiang:???

"Am I the only one in danger?"

[Yes, who told you that your mecha can only cover 5 meters around you. Whether you are willing or not, you can only fight hand-to-hand. Only by letting Ye Shizhong regain some consciousness can you have a chance to escape. 】

Ye Shizhong, the name of the ice giant in it, was once the defense officer of this town and a human hero.

"Hero? He has completely fallen into [madness] now. Can he be called a hero?" Shaqin was very conflicted in his heart.

At this moment, I even lost my respect for the superior and expressed my doubts.

[Of course he is a hero, even if he falls, he is still a hero.]

There was a dullness in Mayor Rabbit's voice, as if he was recalling what happened back then, and his tone was slightly sad.

"If he is a hero, why did you deliberately hide it and not mention it at all in the record?"

[Because heroes are not as glamorous as you think.]

…

The operation of Yongan requires red stone crystals.

In order to better grasp this resource, Ye Shizhong took over the position of garrison officer, built a small town here, and prospered.

However, where there is light, there is bound to be darkness.

As one of the six top executives of the Faceless Sect, [Hua Umbrella]'s strength is not in vain, and his clones each have their own special abilities.

[Black Umbrella] can control evil forces and open space channels.

[Purple Umbrella] possesses the ability of illusion, which can make people sink.

In order to destroy Yong'an, [Purple Umbrella] focused on the source of red stone crystal mines.

He quietly sneaked into the town, and in his dreams, he penetrated his illusion power into the people's bodies bit by bit.

This kind of power is silent and hard to guard against.

When Ye Shizhong discovered the clues, almost all the people in the town had fallen. They looked like ordinary people on the outside, but they were all seeded by [Purple Umbrella] in their bodies.

With just one order, everyone will become his puppet.

"In other words, he infected tens of thousands of people with madness by himself?"

[Yes, he is so powerful, otherwise he would not be qualified to become one of the six executive officers. 】

Everyone took a breath, this strength was really terrifying.

There are many strong men in Yong'an, but they are still unable to destroy the Faceless Men. Instead, they are constantly caused disasters by these monsters, causing heavy losses.

But this time, [Purple Umbrella] miscalculated, because Ye Shizhong was a more ruthless person than him.

[‘I want to absorb all the power of the Purple Umbrella into my body.’ That’s what Ye Shizhong told me at that time, and I made it happen for him. 】

Mayor Rabbit continued to tell the heroic deeds.

The power of the Purple Umbrella spread to the entire town and infected everyone with madness. This is already an irreversible tragedy.

Once it breaks out, tens of thousands of frustrated people will have a huge impact on Yongan.

But Ye Shizhong thought of a way to die together.

He borrowed a treasure from the mayor, and in turn absorbed the power of the purple umbrella into his body.

Then it was detonated with all its strength, and with the illusion power of [Purple Umbrella], it sank into the void.

"This is really a crazy plan." Even Xu Jiang had to sigh at this man's ruthlessness.

[Purple Umbrella] has great ambitions, spreading his abilities to thousands of people, but at the same time, his control power has also been reduced to the lowest point.

Ye Shizhong suddenly attacked and fell into the hole with his power, then detonated the black ring and pulled all the infected people in the town into the hole.

Are the losses heavy? Maybe.

But think about the Silent City next door, which was almost destroyed. In the age of catastrophe, this is the tip of the iceberg of disaster.

The carnival in front of them was Ye Shizhong's last illusion instruction to the townspeople, asking them to follow him and sink here forever.

"So, the clown who led the way was actually the interference released by [Purple Umbrella]?" Xu Jiang thought of the clown who caused the infighting.

That's not helping them at all, it's trying to get Xu Jiang to go into the tower, kill Ye Shizhong and release his power.

[Yes, that self-sacrifice took away almost 90% of Purple Umbrella’s energy. The black ring you see spreading is because it is trying its best to regain its power. ]

Demons and heroes, just in a thought.

[Purple Umbrella] Spends a lot of time to perform illusions in dreams. This is a conspiracy that is difficult to detect.

But Ye Shizhong made a heroic act of self-sacrifice at a critical moment. This is a hero.

As for why the truth of this matter has not been spread, it is just because of his status as a fallen person and he is not suitable to become a hero.

[We can remember, but we cannot imitate. Once we have the idea that arrogance is also a hero, the consequences will be disastrous.]

Mayor Rabbit also has his own concerns. He cannot disclose Ye Shizhong's deeds. All he can do is help him complete a request.

[He is protected by my treasure, and he should still maintain the last trace of his consciousness. This carnival scene is proof.]

"But how are we going to wake him up?"

[His daughter was also infected by the madness, and she entrusted it to me before she died. Although it was somewhat different from what he expected, his daughter was still rescued and survived in another form.]

"Wait a minute, why does your statement sound familiar to me? Could it be that his daughter is..."

[Yes, his daughter is the one from Corpse Mountain Park. I heard that you snatched her bear toy? Congratulations, you have formed a bad relationship. 】
