Chapter 817: Conversation
In any world, strength is the real pass.
After Li Yi showed extraordinary power, the man named Zhang Yan directly admitted defeat. After all, a human who could even be immune to firearms was worth treating seriously.
And who knows where the upper limit of this person's strength is? What if the other party can even resist nuclear bombs?
Dealing with those dead people was already enough of a headache, and he didn't want to deal with a superman.
"If you have the sincerity to talk to me properly, I can agree, but if you want to play any tricks, or be my enemy, I don't mind turning you all into dead people."
Li Yi's gaze swept over, lightning filled the sky, and bursts of thunder seemed to pierce the sky. The lightning on his body spread outward involuntarily, and everything around turned into dust in an instant.
Occasionally an electric arc jumped to his eyes, and Zhang Yan was heart-pounding. He didn't doubt at all that the power contained in that lightning was enough to split him into nothingness.
Zhang Yan suspected whether this existence that mastered the power of lightning was still a human.
"T-this, this is all a misunderstanding. Since the misunderstanding is resolved, we will definitely show enough sincerity and will never offend you again. I can guarantee it with my own life." Zhang Yan said again.
"Go, let's talk in another place. I need to see your superiors." Li Yi's tone finally calmed down, and he was willing to give the other party a chance.
"Of course, I will notify this matter immediately and let my superiors come to talk to you." Zhang Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and then hurriedly made way, signaling Li Yi to walk this way.
Although he didn't know what would happen later, at least this conflict was calmed down.
As the surrounding armed personnel dispersed, only two people, Zhang Yan and Li Yi, were left on the street.
A black special car was parked at the end of the road.
The style was very retro, with a nineties style, and there was a small copper bell hanging on the door handle of the car, which was exactly the same as the bell on the blockade line made of white paper before.
The car was equipped with a driver, ready to drive at any time.
"Please get in the car." Zhang Yan took the initiative to open the door for Li Yi.
But when Li Yi sat in the car, the copper bell hanging on the car door handle suddenly rang ding-ding.
The appearance of this sound made Zhang Yan's face stiffen.
Because the bell would only ring when there was a dead person sitting in the car, and there were only two people in the car at this moment, a driver and Li Yi. Obviously, it was impossible for the driver to have problems. They had all undergone strict selection.
Then the answer was obvious, this person had a problem.
But dead people are invisible, and the person with extraordinary power in front of him is definitely not a dead person. The only possibility is that there is a dead person following this person.
This is a big problem.
Zhang Yan's face changed again and again at this moment, and for a while, he didn't know what to do.
Li Yi, sitting in the car, glanced calmly and also heard the ringing of
Just like the cordon that previously sealed off this area.
"No need to make a fuss. There is a person clinging to my body, but for now, it is very well-behaved and poses no danger," Li Yi said calmly.
Zhang Yan's pupils constricted slightly.
Sure enough, this person who wields extraordinary power has also been entangled by the dead.
"Sir, this is no small matter. If it is not dealt with as soon as possible, there could be a danger to your life," he immediately warned.
One must know.
People who are normally entangled by the dead do not live until dawn; it is now night, and there are only a few hours left until daybreak.
Li Yi said: "If it can kill me, let it try. I also want to know what kind of methods the dead of this world will use to finish me off. I hope it doesn't disappoint me."
He was very calm, and at the same time, he wanted to see if the strange power of this world could actually kill him.
Zhang Yan was stunned for a moment, looking at Li Yi with a sense of astonishment.
This person was too calm; to be entangled by the dead and still remain indifferent—could he really rely on that extraordinary power to withstand the dangers of tonight?
For some reason, he inexplicably began to feel a sense of anticipation.
Thinking of this.
He took a deep breath and simply sat into the car, while simultaneously reporting this matter upward.
"Drive, back to the department," Zhang Yan ordered.
Upon hearing the order, the driver said nothing, immediately started the vehicle, and drove forward quickly and steadily along the road.
As Zhang Yan sat in the car, he recalled Li Yi's words just now and suddenly noticed something: he had said "the dead of this world."
What did this mean?
Could it be that this person possessing extraordinary power does not belong to this world?
Zhang Yan's gaze flickered, and a huge doubt immediately arose in his heart. The more he thought in this direction, the more likely it seemed; that extraordinary power to control lightning, as well as the aura this person displayed, was chilling.
This kind of fear was not the fear one felt when facing the dead, but a sense of awe when facing a god.
Yes.
A god.
The person before him gave the feeling of a god who does not partake in human affairs; although he looked like a human, it was only a resemblance. Once one got close, an instinctive awe and fear would rise from within, unbidden.
It was as if he and the other party were two different species between heaven and earth.
"This matter still needs to be investigated slowly after returning to the department. Perhaps through this conversation, we can also determine the other party's identity," Zhang Yan thought to himself.
The official car continued to move along the road.
Li Yi looked at this city outside the window.
There were not many vehicles on the road; most people traveled by bicycle—the old-fashioned kind that was almost never seen on Earth anymore. He only remembered that when he was very young, his grandfather had one, and back then, his grandfather often rode this kind of bicycle out to buy groceries.
However, the mental state of the people in this world was not good; every face revealed an oppressive aura. Although they had already solved the problem of food and clothing, they still could not feel happiness or joy.
Is this another desperate world?
Li Yi thought to himself.
He had crossed dimensions many times and visited many worlds, and the people of every world had one thing in common: they were not very happy. For example, in the No. 6 technological world, the people at the bottom lived worse than pigs or dogs, while those at the top lived in debauchery.
For example, in the Four Seas and Bazhou, noble families monopolized the martial path, and ordinary people not only had their lifespan drained by ghosts and gods but also had to work their lives away to earn a meager income just to survive.
Or take the wasteland apocalypse world; that was even more miserable, with biochemical beasts occupying the entire world and survivors hiding in fortresses, gasping for breath.
Of course, Li Yi was in no position to criticize them, because the evolvers on Earth also lived worse than shit, with their lives hanging by a thread.
Suffering seemed to be distributed quite fairly across all worlds.
Even though Li Yi's combat power had reached the Demon King level, he still had no way to deal with these difficulties; he could only leave behind some hope in a world whenever possible, extending a helping hand to let some light bloom within the despair.
"The concentration of cosmic energy in this world is not high, about the same as the Four Seas and Bazhou, and it is not suitable for cultivation. And yet, in such a place, dead people actually exist. I want to know how they managed to survive all this way. Could it be that, like the No. 36 world, there are also Ghost Controllers?" Li Yi thought to himself.
Actually, the cosmic energy of the No. 36 world was decent, and there was an opportunity for cultivation to emerge.
But unfortunately, that world had even more perverted supernatural powers, which completely crushed the path of cultivation. After all, even if you cultivated, you couldn't withstand triggering a fierce ghost's killing rule one day.
Just as he was lost in thought.
Soon.
The vehicle drove past a guard post and arrived in front of a large building.
Perhaps because Zhang Yan had reported ahead of time.
As soon as Li Yi entered, he felt an atmosphere of stern killing; many armed personnel in the shadows had gone directly to high alert.
"You don't need to be nervous. If I really wanted to destroy this place, it would only take me one second. And I will tell you clearly: large-scale weapons of mass destruction are useless against me. If you have nuclear bombs, feel free to drop them; that stuff can't kill me."
Although this avatar would die if it took a direct hit from a nuclear bomb, he wouldn't be stupid enough to take it head-on. The moment he sensed danger in advance, Li Yi could escape dozens of kilometers away; before the shockwave of the explosion even appeared, he would already be watching the fireworks from hundreds of kilometers away.
Zhang Yan, standing to the side, felt a flash of horror in his eyes upon hearing this.
He could be certain that the other party was not lying, but possessed an absolute confidence.
In other words, the other party was not just simply extraordinary, but a mobile natural disaster.
"You are definitely not from this world," Zhang Yan said, moving his stiff lips.
Ordinary people might not dare to be sure, but as a team leader dealing with the dead, his understanding of this world was not low, so he was very certain of his judgment.
"I never said I was from this world," Li Yi said, opening the car door and stepping out with large strides.
As his tall figure appeared.
The people around clearly became nervous, and at the same time, countless hidden gazes fell upon Li Yi.
Zhang Yan was silent for a moment and also immediately got out of the car. He didn't know why, but he had a premonition that with the appearance of this person, the world would usher in a massive change.
This might be a historic moment.
