‘Nonsense. What religion needs so many people to worship?’ Li Anping looked at the driver’s panicked face, shook his head and said, “I haven’t heard of the Shadow Church.”

"I don't know, really... really, the Shadow Cult is a sect in ancient legends of the Emerald City. It is said that before Daxia, they were the masters of the Emerald City.

What they like most is to kill the living people and sacrifice them to please their gods. But more than a hundred years ago, after the army of Daxia attacked southern Xinjiang, it ruled the entire Emerald City, and the Shadow Cult was also wiped out as a cult. Apart from the legend left behind, there was no record of the Shadow Cult. Older locals knew this."

After hearing this, Li Anping became more confused. He did not expect that this trafficking of humans would involve ancient cults. It seemed that things were more complicated than he thought.

He asked the driver a few more things. After finding that the other party didn't know more, he gently touched the other party's arm and ate the driver's soul. He threw the body on the nearby mountain road. Then he ran and rushed towards the Emerald City.

He wants to kill the lone wolf and capture all the criminal organizations that trafficked people here.

...

...

Three hours later, the long-distance bus station in Emerald City.

Li Anping walked out of an alley, and two gangsters behind him fell to the ground, constantly moaning. Li Anping's face was filled with haze.

This was the third group of thieves he saw after getting off the long-distance bus stop. He had imagined how many criminals there were in Emerald City and how high the crime rate was. Only when he saw that he had actually arrived at this place did he realize that he had already thought it was too simple.

Looking up, the gray smog sheets of the entire sky, let alone a trace of starlight, the entire sky cannot even see the moon. This is caused by large uncontrollable factory emissions in the city. Various gray and black gases emerge from the chimneys and are vented to the sky freely. No one manages pollution in such places.

There were ragged citizens everywhere in the station. The only children could not see innocence and childishness on their faces. Because they were not playing on the street, but were around the passengers who got off the bus and asked for money. After being scolded, they were not angry, but changed another passenger and then begging. The numbness and accident on their faces made Li Anping feel heartbroken.

There were many pedestrians on the road, but they all walked by themselves. They were hurried and had a cold expression, and never asked about the things around them. Li Anping asked about the road several times, but they were ignored by the other party.

On the street, the shops on both sides of the street were colorful and endless, but most of the shops around the station were one, two exposed-dressed women stood at the door. When they saw Li Anping dressed, they cheered loudly and posed at Li Anping.

"Handsome guy! Come in and play!"

"Handsome guy, come in and sister loves you."

What's more, in front of everyone, he took off his shirt, revealing a pair of plump little white rabbits and jumped out, attracting the citizens on the street to look at it.

Li Anping glanced at them and quickly left. This place was even more chaotic than he thought. Faced with such a self-willed fallen man, he didn't know what to do.

Hei seemed to be particularly happy in this atmosphere, and he asked, ‘Hey, why don’t you teach them a lesson? Are you moved?’

‘They... are just forced by life.’ Li Anping said carefully: ‘It’s not considered a great traitor.’

‘Whatever you do. But this is a really good place. I feel that the air is full of crime. It is also developing very prosperously, and it is not inferior to Zhongdu. It really makes me tremble with excitement!’

Li Anping nodded without denying it. Hei was right. Although the environment was bad, the citizens looked even colder and the crime rate was astonishingly high. But Emerald City was indeed very prosperous. Looking up, towering buildings could be seen in the southeast, west and northwest, and elevated roads were built as dense as spider webs.

Especially now it is dark night. If you look at it from a high place, the entire Emerald City is a sea of ​​lights. It is like daylight. This situation has reached the extreme in the center of the city. From the underground to the ground, there are all kinds of shops for food, clothing, housing and transportation, including pornography, gambling, and drugs.

From beautiful virgins, to extinct animals, and even eliminated armed forces in the army, you can buy them here. It is simply a paradise for criminals.

Li Anping took a car on the street and rushed to the place where the human traffickers sold him. The scene of evil and prosperity dancing in Emerald City made him feel indescribable.

But the information around him was still instilled in him. Fifty meters away, a prostitute with heavy makeup was fighting with three men in the alley. Their gasping sound seemed to be in Li Anping's ears.

A hundred meters away, a man snatched a woman's bag and ran away. But after a few steps, he was shot to death by the woman who took out the gun. The woman picked up the bag, kicked the man's body a few times, cursed a few words before leaving. The people around seemed to be accustomed to him, and there was not even a single person to call the police.

In a casino passing by, a man in a suit jumped out of the window and fell to death on the spot. Several big men hurriedly ran out of the door and dragged the man's body back. They discussed who to sell the human organs to to pay off his debts.

In Emerald City, everything here hides a rule that is unique to them in the appearance of sin. Everyone acts according to the rules, even to outsiders, how absurd and unruly these rules are.

Li Anping looked out the window with his eyes and his ears listening to the sound. For the first time, he felt that he could not curb his sins by relying on his own strength.

Because there are too many, Emerald City is full of crimes and sins. Can he really control it alone?

Li Anping gradually began to think about how to change the situation of Jade City and how to change the world in detail, and for the first time, it was truly presented to him.

Although he said he wanted to uphold justice in the past, his idea was very simple, just killing bad guys and helping good guys. But when he came to Emerald City, when crime and death lined up in front of him, he understood that simply killing bad guys could not change the world and maintain justice.

He needs some more complex and effective means.

Half an hour later, the car stopped, interrupting Li Anping's thoughts. After getting off the car, the taxi couldn't wait to drive away, as if it was so dangerous here. Looking around, Li Anping found that the destination was a somewhat remote area. There were dilapidated buildings and abandoned factories around.

The wall was covered with graffiti of unknown significance. There were also some homeless men gathered together in groups of three or three in the distance. They looked at Li Anping, who had got off the bus with cold eyes from time to time.

There are several old residential buildings a few hundred meters away, and there are several grocery stores and convenience supermarkets downstairs, but the business is deserted and the door is deserted.

Li Anping glanced at it and walked towards the destination. It was an abandoned building with rusty on the door and locked up by a large iron lock.

Lee Anping frowned, which was different from the news he received from the driver in advance. He didn't hear anyone's voice in the building in his ears.

Although this place is not as lively as the city center, it should not be so desolate. As one of the strongholds for lone wolf to accept trafficked women and children, there should not be no one.

He touched the iron lock on the door, looked around, and then pulled the iron lock open with a little force. Pushing open the door, Li Anping walked in.

This abandoned building has a total of five floors and was originally built as a nursing home. So the first floor is one office, and the second to fourth floors are various dormitory-like rooms.

Li Anping did not notice the existence of people, so he could only sweep the room one by one. He opened the office on the first floor and drank halfway through the coffee on the table. He rummages and file cabinets and found that nothing was left behind. He could only find some erotic magazines and tools for books.

At the end of the office, a rectangular object was covered with a black cloth. In the darkness, if you don’t pay attention, you will almost miss him.

Li Anping smelled a pungent smell from his nose, and a bad premonition flashed through his mind. He stretched out his hand to pull Hei Bu away. Looking at the scene in front of him, his eyes narrowed into a slit.

It was a simple cell built with an iron cage. It was only one meter high and about two meters wide. People could only lie or lie down inside. There was a small basin on the ground, which looked like leftovers that smelled bad.

There were still some bright red blood around the iron cage. A stream of shit and the smell of urine emitted from the cage.

A haggard child's body lay in the cage, and large ants crawled on him, revealing his bones.

It is hard to imagine how torture and destruction he suffered in front of him.

Li Anping covered the black cloth again, his face turned pale and his fists were clenched. But he didn't say the last sentence, but just let out a deep breath and checked the other corners of the office.

But Li Anping got nothing in his actions. Judging from the messy office, the people here seemed to have evacuated in a hurry, but took away all the information, leaving nothing useful.

So Li Anping then walked upstairs, intending to check all the dormitories. The corridor was dim and Li Anping tried the pilot light switch and found that there was no response.

However, with his current vision, even in the dark corridor, everything could be seen. He opened the dormitory on the second floor one by one, and the environment inside was as bad as he expected.

The human traffickers did not take care of the people who were abducted as humans. The excrement that could be seen everywhere had turned dark and blood. There was nothing in the dormitory except a bed. All the windows were nailed to death by wooden boards, and they could not see outside and the sunlight could not shine in.

According to the human trafficker driver, the people sent here can only eat one meal a day, those who resist fiercely will be fed sleeping pills. Everyone has been in a state of weakness in their limbs and can only lie on the bed. There is neither a bath nor a bathroom. The people guarding them often clean the dormitory for several months.

Only when you take them out to meet the seller will you have the chance to take a shower.
