Chapter 363: Closed Loop

In the silence, the head of the Xu family didn't care that Ye Lan was aiming at him, but just looked at him deeply.

He had recognized this person. He was the mysterious man who sat next to the three brats during the day.

"I underestimated you and was careless." Xu Lemo sighed: "Why are you here?"

Yelan didn't want to get into the opponent's rhythm, especially when the situation seemed likely to be reversed. He had to maintain control to ensure that he could tell the truth from the other person's remarks.

Seeing Xu Lemo's silence, Ye Lan spoke again.

"What a surprise. You are actually responsible for the mass disappearance of people in Glory City. How many people in Glory City are still waiting for you to find their families?"

"In the end, who among you is suing me, right?"

Xu Lemo finally spoke.

"Everyone volunteers."

Yelan was noncommittal.

If you had never seen anything, it would be difficult for Yelan to believe a single word of it if you hadn't traced it all the way here until you watched the whole process.

But Ye Lan could indeed see that what he said was true.

"So, why is it voluntary?" Ye Lan asked: "Heavy bribes? Threats from family members? In short, as long as the other party agrees, no matter whether they are really willing or not, it is voluntary, right?"

Ye Lan put down the Bell of Chaos.

It's not that I believe him, or anything else, but... I'm too lazy to point an anomaly at him.

From any point of view, this guy will not be his opponent, even if there is an abnormality behind it, unless the real form of the Ancient God's Touch dares to show up.

Yelan didn't think that with so many people from Yuhui Divine Sect racking their brains in the upper half of the city, such omissions would still occur. Yelan's recognition of the professionalism of the Afterglow God's Cult is higher than that of the Rot God's Cult, even though the Decay God's Cult is already very, very professional.

"Sacrifice to the evil god?" Yelan knocked on the statue.

The statue is very strange, you can’t tell what it is at all. The limbs of the statue are tightly connected by chains, connecting all sides of the wall.

"First of all, it's not an evil god." Xu Lemo seemed to understand the situation and answered Ye Lan seriously: "Secondly, it's not a sacrifice."

He spread his hands, not looking like a guilty prisoner at all.

"You are a master and have psychic powers. I don't know which anomaly gave you the power, but you are very strong anyway."

"You care about the lives of those people. I believe that you are the chosen one by some righteous god, so I am willing to communicate with you."

Xu Lemo pointed towards the statue:

"I don't think I need to explain anything. You just want me to say more to let you judge my position. That's all."

"You can definitely feel that this is not a blood sacrifice."

Yelan was noncommittal.

He really felt it, so he slowed down for half a beat when he was shocked at the end. Otherwise, even if he risked his life and could be sensed by the ancient god's touch, he could still stop it.

He did not feel the passing or imminent passing of life. At least this was not a sacrifice, it was probably just a simple...

"I know it's teleportation." Ye Lan didn't mess around with things he knew well: "But what are you doing?"

"Just make some preparations." Xu Lemo paused: "What I don't understand is, what are you doing? Why would a person like you help those young boys and bring disaster to Glory City?"

Yelan pursed her lips.

This is his least favorite topic right now, and he doesn't want to repeat what he said to Wandering Balance again.

"First of all, in the short term, there will be no disaster in Glory City. Instead, it will achieve real prosperity and a bright future for at least a generation."

"Secondly, it saves more people, more people who need to be saved."

And it’s you, the people of Glory City, who are being saved... Ye Lan silently added in her heart.

How else should he explain it?

Use the future of Glory City to save the future Glory City?

Who can understand?

"You also said it was in the short term." Xu Lemo paid great attention to Ye Lan's words: "What about the long term? What will happen to Glory City? What will be the outcome of Glory City?"

Yelan didn't know how to explain it to him.

Still the same sentence.

Do I want to use the future of Glory City to save the future Glory City?

This is already a complete closed loop.

The only problem here that makes Ye Lan feel very depressed is that he has personally terminated Li Zhixin.

If this is caused by my own promotion of history, it will be difficult for me to accept it.

However, he gradually became relieved.

If this is history, then the person who did this in history also knew that he killed Li Zhixin in the end, so it was impossible not to leave some backup to save his life.

Since he is really dead, it means that he really became an 'evil dragon' in the end.

So Ye Lan smiled lightly and confidently.

"There will always be those who come after."

…

Xu Lemo closed his eyes and sighed.

"If this is the will of a righteous god, I accept it."

He didn't want to hide anything anymore, at least on the surface, he gave Yelan a map and drew a circular line on it.

Ye Lan glanced at it and was slightly startled.

It’s the city wall surrounding Glory City!

"I sent all the people who have been missing these days there. I didn't want those three boys to succeed, and I wasn't sure that they would not succeed, so I made some preparations."

He explained:

"I made some special modifications to the city wall, through the power of a certain... Righteous God."

Renovation?

Suddenly, Ye Lan remembered the investigation information Xia Manman had given him before.

The people sent by the old city lord Xu seemed to pass every city wall unintentionally.

He also remembered the secret passage opened by Xu Lezhang when he first entered Guanghui City. The entire Guanghui City wall moved and operated like a giant mechanism, and the principle was so complicated that he couldn't understand it.

"This can not only strengthen the defense and structure of Guanghui City, but also play a special role when necessary. When necessary, Guanghui City can be directly blocked, and the interior of Guanghui City can be sealed into an iron box that is enough to isolate abnormal forces."

"If this is the case, they will not have no room for buffer after they do something unbearable."

"The location of those people is at the location I marked. If you don't believe it, you can find time to go and see it."

Ye Lan was silent for a while, and looked at him with a strange look.

"You have a long-term vision and see clearly." He couldn't help but sighed.

Xu Lemo's frankness made Ye Lan feel not very good, and he explained seriously.

"It's nothing more than the situation is too bad, robbing Peter to pay Paul."

"I need to restore history in this way, I need to go on like this, I need to see what happened."

"I need the correct history, I need to leave."

"... I can't just watch the destruction of the Glorious City..."

He didn't say which Glorious City it was, because if his guess was correct, this would be a cycle.

After talking with Wandering Balance, Ye Lan had already figured this out.

If history continues, there will be no problems here for the time being. On the contrary, the Glorious City is the biggest beneficiary. It will develop in the wasteland with a terrifying attitude and become the hope of human civilization.

Hope is already very important in the end of the world.

But if you don't do this, the people of the Glorious City will inevitably suffer in the future.

If there is really another self, a self who left such a mess for himself.

At that time, he also experienced such a choice, right?

When he made this mess to save his own timeline, he must have chosen to believe in himself.

If I don't do this anymore, the Glory City in my world can't be saved, and I will fail that me, and let that person let down the Glory City.

So I can only do this.

Because I can also believe in myself in this world!

Ye Lan smiled, no longer confused.

"Okay. We've talked about what we need to talk about, and it's time to do things."

Xu Lemo showed a puzzled look, not knowing why.

"You are telling the truth, but there is one thing that is not true."

Bang!

In his horrified eyes, Ye Lan smashed the statue with a punch.

"You believe in a righteous god of a hammer, and I am lucky not to be an evil god."

Ye Lan looked into the broken statue curiously, stretched out his hand, and grabbed the photo frame inside.

"Oh, it turned out to be the shadow of the past."
