393. Chapter 393: City Martial Law

When Li Yi returned to Tianchang City again, the city was already quiet. There were only a few people passing by in a hurry on the road. All the residents seemed to have disappeared overnight. The streets, which were not prosperous to begin with, were now even more deserted. From time to time, various alarm sounds rang out around, and at the same time, information about evacuating nearby was constantly being broadcast on the radio.

Once the sky-falling event appears on a large scale, living in the high-rise buildings of the city is very dangerous, because if you are not careful, the high-rise buildings will collapse and living people will be buried.

Therefore, evacuating residents is a very necessary thing.

Moreover, a sky-falling event had already occurred ten years ago, so later city buildings chose villas below three floors. It's just that the newly planned building area was called the Stability Zone, which even practitioners couldn't afford. Even Li Yi now hadn't been able to add a residence in the Stability Zone.

"Looking at this, this sky-falling event will be very serious."

Li Yi observed the changes in the city while driving. He even saw armed forces installing lethal weapons in some places. Clearly, this was to guard against the appearance of enemies.

Besides this, the vehicles of the investigators were also parked in every corner of the city, ensuring that they could handle emergencies at any time.

On the road, many vehicles transporting supplies were still busy.

In the face of such a great disaster, the foundation of a country began to be revealed at this moment. It's a pity that the No. 6 world hasn't been completely taken down yet. Otherwise, large-scale cross-dimensional transfer and leaving this world would be the safest method.

Li Yi took a turn and didn't stay outside for long, but immediately returned to the Peace Financial Building.

Looking at the building that was dozens of floors high, he felt that when this sky-falling event happened, this building of his would most likely not be saved, and most likely it would also collapse. This urban area might become a new abandoned urban area in the future. No, perhaps the entire Tianchang City would become a ruin. He only hoped that the impact this time would not be so great, and give Earthlings some more time to breathe.

"Very good, you group of evil Earth-prisoners are finally going to be finished. It's really good news. The old man knew that Earth-prison, the root of all evil, would be cleared sooner or later. Otherwise, other worlds would sooner or later be harmed to the point of being finished." Suddenly, the remnant thought in the knife coin woke up again. He seemed to have noticed the change in heaven and earth, and at this moment, he actually appeared happy.

"It's no good for you if Earth-prison is finished. If you go to the Four Seas and Bazhou, the cosmic energy there is thin, and you will soon perish," Li Yi responded unceremoniously.

The remnant thought in the knife coin said: "I was originally a wisp of remnant soul lingering on, and I have long since taken life and death lightly. Being able to be buried in the Four Seas and Bazhou and accompany martial artists can be considered not in vain for this life, as long as I am not buried in this evil Earth-prison."

"I want to know, why do you hate Earth-prisoners so much?" Li Yi stopped his steps and asked.

In fact, he had wanted to ask this question for a long time, but he just couldn't find a suitable opportunity.

The remnant thought in the knife coin sneered and said: "The old man was once possessed by you evil Earth-prisoners. Although it was eventually wiped out by the old man, those evil thoughts shocked the old man greatly. The old man once saw you Earth-prisoners making an appointment to fight with swordsmen. Others drew swords, you drew guns, and you also said something about American-style Iaijutsu. It's really despicable and shameless."

"The old man also saw young people possessed by Earth-prisoners, after which their nature changed greatly, with no sense of propriety, righteousness, integrity, or shame, occupying the master's wife and cousin-in-law. If the woman didn't follow, they would say, 'You don't want your family to have an accident, do you?', forcing people to submit, subsequently harming one side, harming the people, looting wealth on a large scale, and also calling it 'free love' and 'commercial competition'."

"The old man also saw Earth-prisoners pretending to be pure and good, joining a mountain gate, but the master only tempered them for three months, yet that person was ruthless, poisoning the master, looting cultivation techniques, framing others, making a large sect chaotic. After being discovered, they immediately fled to another place, wanting to repeat the same trick. After being discovered by the old man, they still didn't know how to repent, shouting things like 'those who achieve great things don't care about small details', 'history is written by the victors', and 'thick black is not wrong'."

"The old man even encountered Earth-prisoners who refused to work in the countryside, didn't seek progress, spread evil thoughts everywhere, gathered parties, called themselves heroes, acted for heaven, killed officials and rebelled, setting off a bloody storm, harming hundreds of thousands of people in less than a year. The old man captured them, wanting to execute them, and the Earth-prisoners actually had the face to quibble, saying things like 'killing one person is a crime, slaughtering ten thousand is a hero', 'a great man cannot be without power for a day'."

"The old man also..."

Li Yi hurriedly stopped: "Stop, stop, stop, I know everything you said."

"Hmph, as for Earth-prisoners, there is no morality or shame, no credibility in speaking, no bottom line in doing things, seeing small profits and forgetting great righteousness, 'fellow villagers seeing fellow villagers, stabbing in the back', etc., are all considered pediatric. The old man is too lazy to remember. You say, just based on the style of you Earth-prisoners, is it excessive to say that you are born evil?" the remnant thought in the knife coin said.

"It's not excessive," Li Yi's face became awkward.

"Then should these evil Earth-prisoners be killed when encountered?" the remnant thought in the knife coin asked again.

"They should be killed," Li Yi said.

The remnant thought in the knife coin said: "Look, you, a native Earth-prisoner, think they should be killed, let alone others."

"You have also crossed dimensions and encountered many Earth-prisoners, isn't there a better one?" Li Yi was extremely guilty at this moment, feeling that those cross-dimensional travelers were all harming one side.

"There are some who are better, reciting poems and painting every day, pretending to be talented people to deceive beauties. Although they like to fish for fame, at least they are not so bad. The worst is wearing a green hat for the emperor. Compared with others, this is already considered pure and good. However, the old man didn't kill that person. Later, I don't know how it went. Presumably, in the end, they couldn't avoid the path of usurping the throne," the remnant thought in the knife coin said.

Good guy.

Do cross-dimensional travelers play so fancy? They all caused chaos in the harem, wearing a green hat for the emperor.

The remnant thought in the knife coin continued: "Besides this, it's you. You are the Earth-prisoner I have seen who is least like an Earth-prisoner. Probably your demonic nature hasn't awakened yet, or you still have some conscience. However, according to the old man's experience, it is only a matter of time before Earth-prisoners fall into the devil's path. Your evil is born, cannot be removed, and sooner or later you will fall into the devil's path. And the stronger the strength, the greater the probability of falling into the devil's path."

"In the end, it's nothing more than a sentence, 'I would rather betray the world than let the world betray me', or shouting, 'The one who is wrong is not me, but this world', and then resolutely falling into the devil's path, harming all living things, and then even killing a dog passing by. In short, you like to find a lame reason to do bad things with peace of mind."

"You really understand Earth-prisoners too thoroughly. What you said is not false at all," Li Yi had to admit at this moment that the remnant thought in the knife coin really hit the nail on the head.

This is indeed very consistent with the characteristics of Earthlings.

Now Li Yi finally understood why the remnant thought in the knife coin hated Earthlings so much.

If it were him, seeing that these evil people all came from the same world, the same place, and even the same race, he would also suspect, is this race born evil? Why is there not a single good person?

"If you Earth-prisoners only stayed in Earth-prison, then the evil wouldn't be so obvious. It's probably mutual restraint. After all, everyone is not a fuel-efficient lamp. But if placed in the outside world, that's terrible," the remnant thought in the knife coin said: "Such an evil world, why wouldn't it be a good thing if it were destroyed?"

Li Yi said: "You are too extreme."

"Extreme? Do you know how you Earth-prisoners rebel and slaughter cities? Those taller than the wheels are killed, and as a result, that guy puts the wheels flat," the remnant thought in the knife coin snorted heavily.

"..."

"Actually, strictly speaking, I am not an Earthling. I am half a martial artist of the Four Seas and Bazhou. After all, I have properly worshipped a master, and I also have the blood of the gods of the wild world," Li Yi said guiltily at this moment.

"The old man doesn't care about so much. Remember, you still owe me the lives of two Earth-prisoners. Previously, they were all killed by others and cannot be counted on you," the remnant thought in the knife coin said and then hid again.

Li Yi sighed.

It's already this time, why is this guy still keeping count?

Wait.

Suddenly.

Li Yi found some problems in the words of this knife coin remnant.

The Earth-prisoners he encountered who were doing evil shouldn't be in the same world. That is to say, this knife coin had traveled to many worlds when it was alive?

How was this done?

Or is it really as the knife coin remnant said, he really mastered a unique method of crossing dimensions?

Li Yi couldn't help but feel a little curious and moved.

If he could also master some special cross-dimensional method, he wouldn't be so passive. After all, it's unrealistic for him to build a cross-dimensional base, and even if he successfully built a cross-dimensional base, he would need a complete mystic object as energy supply, which is simply unrealistic for Li Yi now.

Perhaps, the lives of those two Earth-prisoners should really be tried to be completed...

Wait.

If he did this, would he be like what the knife coin remnant said, finding a suitable reason and falling into the devil's path with peace of mind?

Very quickly.

Li Yi shook his head and stopped letting his imagination run wild. He drove the car to the downstairs of the Peace Financial Building.

At this moment, the area around the building was also fully guarded.

Armed robots patrolled with high-energy sniper rifles, and there were surveillance cameras everywhere. The intelligent brain Lan Ji divided a part of its computing power to take over the security system of the building. On the top floor of the building, three high-energy beam cannons were ready at any time.

However, Li Yi didn't see the Thunder Fighter, nor the two exotic beasts Niu Niu and Shanyi.

At this time, they should still be hunting extraordinary creatures in the danger zone.

Although the celestial phenomena had changed, after all, the sky-falling hadn't started yet. It's always good to make more preparations.

"Li Yi, you finally came back in time, thank God." At this time, Lu Jue, who was stationed at the entrance, walked over immediately, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"I said I would come back after opening the cross-dimensional point. How is it? Nothing big happened, right?" Li Yi got off the chariot and asked.

Lu Jue said: "Fortunately, everything is normal at present. Because we prepared in advance, there was no chaos. Your relatives who could come have all come to the Peace Financial Building to take refuge. The relatives of others are the same. Zheng Lan considered this point earlier and rebuilt all ten floors into single rooms. There is no problem for hundreds of people to live there."

"Supplies are also well prepared. Lin Yue's two storage magic treasures are piled full of things, and the vehicles for retreat are also over there. If the sky-falling event is not serious, we can live here for a month or two. If it is serious, retreat is no problem. Moreover, the retreat route has also been planned. We don't take the main road. We start directly from here and use the Thunder Fighter to forcefully blast out a road directly to the cross-dimensional point in the danger zone. Your intelligent brain Lan Ji has calculated that if everything goes well, everyone can retreat in an hour."

"Very good, then the next step is to see the situation," Li Yi nodded.

Li Yi was not at ease with their combat ability, but he was relatively at ease with their ability to handle things. Having these people help, he could indeed reduce a lot of trivial matters and save time and energy to do other things.

"Has the work on Zhao Lingfu's side been completed?" Li Yi asked again.

"He said that it will take another day to clean up the surroundings of the danger zone, and it can be finished tomorrow morning. So I only hope that the sky-falling event won't appear within these two days," Lu Jue said while looking up at the sky.

Even though he was a Spirit Perception Realm practitioner, he could feel that the space wormhole had been very unstable recently, with a large amount of cosmic energy leaking out, and it was very violent.

In addition, the anomalies in the sky were becoming more and more frequent, and the cross-dimensional gate could be opened at any time.

"Since preparations are ready, then wait quietly for the sky-falling event to happen," Li Yi said: "This is all we can do. Be optimistic, the first sky-falling event has passed. Now we are practitioners, are we still afraid of the second one?"
