Before dawn, Lu Ning met Moira Jianuo as she wished.
The manager of District Three met Lu Ning this time in his bedroom. She must have just woken up, and the bed hadn't even been made tidy yet. On the other hand, there were more books in Maura's bedroom than in her study.
"When I take over this city, you can read the books here at will." Mora also noticed Lu Ning's eyes falling on her bookshelf and said proudly.
"Thank you in advance." Lu Ning smiled.
Then, Mora saw the dark red gauntlet on Lu Ning's hand, and her mind moved slightly: "Have you obtained the Evil of Origin?"
"Yes." Lu Ning raised her hand, knowing that hiding it would mean nothing to Moira, "It's really a convenient and quick way to awaken your abilities."
"It's not a good idea to plant that thing on your body. After merging with flesh and blood, the essence inside will penetrate and corrode your spirit, and you will gradually become immersed in sinful pleasure." Moura said, "But for most For humans, it cannot be activated without this method.”
"Oh? So you..."
"Since you've got it, I might as well show it to you." Moira rolled up her sleeves and placed it close to the inside of her upper arm, wearing a pure gold armband with a dark purple gem embedded in it. On the ring, the surrounding gold has become somewhat dim, but it still prevents direct contact with the body.
"I think there's a risk of losing it."
"Unless I cut off my hand, in that case, our two states will be no different. Only the evil of the essence that has a strong resonance with me can still use the power without contact, so I can only rely on my special talents. That's all." Moira put her sleeves back, "What is the purpose of your coming here today?"
"I think it's time to go out."
"When dispatched?"
"In today's situation, it can be said that everyone in high positions has the opportunity to compete for control here. The official start of the war in the four regions gives us an opportunity. This is better than what I thought before. It’s much easier for the enemy in this area.”
"So who do you think we should help?" Maura asked.
"It's not about helping anyone, but directly declaring war on the tenth district." Lu Ning said his plan.
"Tell me."
"Today's war situation is in a balanced situation. No matter who intervenes, it may lead to imbalance. The most serious consequence is that even if you help the right person, you will be liquidated after the war. In this case, it is better to find someone who stays out of the matter in other names. It’s troublesome, this war is happening in the same city, so as long as there is a fight, others will inevitably be burned.”
"Those people are not stupid, especially C-circuit and Rabbi Lins. They would not have thought that I was using an excuse to attack."
"So what if you think of it?"
Lu Ning laughed.
"Our name is against the tenth district. Even if they know that we are going to destroy Guo, if they don't want us to join the hostile side, they can only endure it. In this way, the initiative will always be in our hands. And in this city Another advantage of conducting such a long-distance declaration of war is that it involves all those who are still watching from the other side."
"all?"
"I have only excluded two districts in this plan, the seventh district with which I have a good personal relationship, and the fourth district whose situation is unclear. The current situation is that the first district and the ninth district are outflanking the sixth district, and the second district is to relieve the siege from the flanks. and support the Sixth District, but as long as we attack the Tenth District, the Eighth District and the Fiveth District, which are flanking the same line, will also be pulled into the war. No one can have troops passing by their door every day and still remain motionless. .”
Maura nodded slowly.
"Now I have only one question, how many troops do we have that we can mobilize? You told me that most of the superpowers here will not go to war, but since you have made war preparations..."
"Twenty thousand."
"How much?" Lu Ning couldn't believe it.
"The automated Annihilator mechanical force can carry out complete fire suppression within ten square meters for half an hour with its individual combat effectiveness. The group charge can complete a destructive strategic displacement within one kilometer within one minute, and it also comes with electronic warfare and biological and chemical warfare. The legion of special attachments, 20,000.”
Maura explained.
"Such a quantity..."
"But these are just machines, and they are mechanical troops whose only purpose is destruction. In addition, since I can accumulate such strength in a short period of time, there is no way that the other nine people who have been around longer than me don't have any resources... At least the C-circuit and Rabbi Lins will not be without those who dare to start a war."
The general idea is that what the current war shows is only the tip of the iceberg of the strength of both sides?
"But what you said makes sense. We need to bring out all their strength at this point in time. It doesn't matter if some people die for this..." Moira sneered, "At eight thirty, the mechanical troops will be dispatched. , will blend into various key locations in District 10 through camouflage coating, and then uniformly start fire suppression."
"I don't recommend taking action against ordinary people..."
"It's just to draw out Dr. D's troops. I gave them a chance to escape before I even ordered the biochemical erosion operation."
Lu Ning knew that this was irreversible, so she could only shut up.
"As for us, now we have to go to the battlefield to take a look... I will specifically allow you to follow me today. I believe you will feel safer this way."
Although it doesn’t sound nice, it’s true.
Moira Garno's actions were quite efficient. She and Lu Ning left the third area before dawn. She did not change clothes, but asked Lu Ning to take off her "ugly outfit" and put on a mask and a pair of clothes. A black trench coat.
It took a long time for the two of them to reach the war zone, but Mo La started chatting with Lu Ning on the way.
"What kind of person is that person from District 7?"
"Sa Xiu? A very... persistent person."
"Yeah?"
"Why are you mentioning him suddenly?"
"It was only seven or eight years ago that he took the position of manager." Moura said in a slightly nostalgic tone, "In the beginning, I always felt that I was very lonely. I felt that no one could be with me. With the same belief, I wanted to clean up this old and rotten city... Later I heard that there was a manager who was about the same age as me, so I just hoped that he could understand my feelings."
"and after?"
"Then I got used to being alone."
There were only a few people like Mo La and Lu Ning who dared to walk outside openly. They soon became the targets of some people in blue uniforms and new superpowers. In less than twenty minutes, these people discovered that there was no way they could fight. But two people.
No...it's not even a battle. Anyone who dared to enter within twenty meters of Moura fell to the ground instantly, and long-distance attacks also lost their attack power after invading this range. None of the tests conducted by hundreds of superpowers on a street achieved even the slightest success.
The two of them passed through the densest war zone majestically. In Lu Ning's words, "showing your face and giving them a signal is the biggest shock."
No one would believe that Maura came out just to go shopping.
Rabbi Lins and C-circuit received the news of Moira's appearance almost at the same time. As the youngest manager, her appearance is no secret, but her abilities are unclear.
Both sides unanimously issued orders to avoid Mo La.
And Rabbi Lins went one step further and wanted to get in touch with Moira. After he contacted Fidia for a long time but received no reply, it was basically determined that Fidia was solved by someone. In this way, the time that District 9 can hold on is limited, and he may need someone else to help him delay.
As long as there is time, more and more superpowers will appear here.
However, at this time, he heard that a group of superpowers broke into the university in District 2 and attacked a group of students who were in class.
This is not good news.
Rabbi Lins deliberately avoided several places, one of which was the university in District 2, not only because "Library" was the principal there, but also because he knew that some of the most terrifying ordinary people in the city were there.
Sure enough, within half an hour, they received news that the group of ability users had been eaten by zombies pouring out.
Since he dared to declare war, of course he was fully prepared. This was not enough to change the situation, but it would inevitably lead to part of Rabbi Lins' preparatory plan.
District 7, this is the place where Lu Ning suggested that Mo La visit.
Governing the city is never a matter of one person, and there is no need for Moura to push everyone to the opposite side like Rabbi Lins. Even if it is just a struggle between a few blocks, the alliance will always be effective.
"Sa Xiu...your real name?"
District 7 is no longer lively today. Only the main building, Zuimeng Hongzhuang, still had many customers. Mora stood downstairs, as if it was the first time she was standing there to see this building.
"We are here to visit." Lu Ning reminded.
"I will pay attention to my attitude. I leave the introduction to you."
After Lu Ning went in and showed her identity, a waiter quickly reported the situation. Within about ten minutes, someone led the two of them to the elevator to the top floor.
Sa Xiu is there, in a miniature botanical garden. Next to him was a recliner, and Wei Yin was lying on the couch wrapped in a white robe. It had obviously been cleaned, and now she just seemed to be lying there with her eyes closed and sleeping.
Through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see the chaotic scenes happening everywhere on the streets outside. Thick smoke is rising everywhere, alarms are ringing, flashes of various abilities explode from time to time, and even some buildings will have one or two pieces cut off.
Hearing the voice behind him, Saxiu turned his head. His hands had been restored to their original position by some unknown method. They still had the same polite posture, but there was an indescribable sadness between his brows.
"Saxiu, are you... feeling better?" Lu Ning asked.
"I don't know, it's only been a day." Sa Xiu shook his head gently, "The pain may fade with time, or it may become unforgettable with time. I don't know which kind..."
"At least...I taught Fidia a lesson."
"I saw it." Sa Xiu forced a smile, "He finally tried his best to put himself back together and kept being cut apart. That struggling posture really gave me a sense of satisfaction...until he finally couldn't bear to give up. I was there watching my own life.”
"If that comforts you a little bit."
Sa Xiu nodded and looked at Moira: "If the report I heard before is correct, this should be the manager of District Three?"
"That's right." Moura responded, "I learned that you obtained this position seven years ago, so the two of us should be the two youngest people among all managers. Maybe we can have some common ground. "
"Please tell me straight, what do you want to do? I will make a decision based on your words." Sa Xiu said.
"Similar to Rabbi Lins' intention, I want to take over the entire city and reshuffle all the forces here." Moira pointed out the window.
"In other words, you also want to start a war?"
"That's understandable."
"Then please allow me to refuse." Sa Xiu said simply.
Maura snorted and sneered.
"Reject? I am the only one who refuses others in this world, but I want to hear your reasons."
"Because war can only bring pain. I have had enough of the disasters and deaths caused by fighting. Originally, these things would not involve me, but you just started a life-and-death struggle on your own, and you also killed innocent people. Get involved.”
"That's the funniest joke I've heard today."
Moira's tone gradually became sharper.
"Choose to escape because war will bring disaster? This is not a pre-war mobilization. There is already a war outside. Do you think you can stay safe in this situation?"
"As long as I want." Saxiu didn't mind Moira's attitude, "My time freezing can guarantee that the things I cherish will never be harmed again. At worst, I will freeze all the things that I don't want to be damaged and find a place for myself. Just hide where people care."
"You have such an ability and are you going to use it like this?"
"I used to respect other people's personal wishes and believed that happiness should be the life they want. Just stopping time to gain eternity cannot produce any sense of happiness." Saxiu said, looking at the recliner, "But now I Understand, dead people... will not be happy, and living people will be more miserable. If a disaster comes, just a moment of disrespect can at least allow them to live and enjoy the rest of their lives! Only living is meaningful for people, anyway, for them it is just a skip It’s been a painful time, hasn’t it?”
"Is this what you want to say?"
Maura suppressed the contempt on her face because she understood that what Saxiu said was something he could do.
"Yes, isn't it right to avoid this unfortunate time?"
"Are you going to deprive them of their right to die? Who do you think you are?" Moira raised her head slightly.
"What?"
"Have you never thought of respecting a person's 'death'? Like her?" Moira pointed at Wei Yin, "Those people who were separated from time by your ability, do everyone want their own lives?" I don’t know how many years have passed suddenly like this?”
"They won't change in the slightest!"
"Yes, because it will be difficult for them to recognize the world again."
