In the laboratory.
The ground was covered with bandages dripping with blood.
Uncle Mu held a phone in one hand while his other hand was being treated with medication by a machine.
Aren't you coming down?
"The entire Sinful City is in complete chaos."
There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone, then a voice said, "We were all wrong."
Yu Qingnian's choice was wrong.
"What do you mean?" Uncle Mu asked.
"Li Chen will lead the era to its ultimate destruction; perhaps Elder Gu foresaw a future in a different time and space."
"But our timeline might be the one that's been abandoned. Now it's completely wrong. Elder Gu is gone, and no one can correct the future anymore."
"We created a madman."
An Uncle Mu's eyes as he coldly said, "Then kill him. I don't want to see the world destroyed."
"It's too late... He's already grown up."
"You can't kill him now, and I sense it, this pass is about to fall, and humanity is about to face annihilation."
Uncle Mu sighed and said, "Then what can we do? Are we just going to wait to die?"
"I still have so many years of youth left to enjoy, and you want me to accept reality? Are you testing my patience?!"
The voice on the other end of the phone said, "No, it can't be called waiting to die."
"It's not that the future we're creating is just waiting to die."
"Unless a second person, like Elder Gu, who can see the future, appears, perhaps we still have a chance to change the current chaotic world back to normal."
"But you should understand, a person like that is extremely rare, even in an entire era... Sigh..."
Uncle Mu opened his mouth helplessly. Finding someone like Elder Gu was incredibly difficult, not to mention the ability required.
Even if we found it, what good would it do?
It also requires strength, and it requires courage.
Elder Gu overused his abilities, and now... sigh...
Uncle Mu said bitterly, "Is that kid Li Chen really so heartless, showing no regard for all humanity? Isn't there any other way?"
There was a long silence on the other end of the phone, with no response.
This world has driven Li Chen to this point.
They are all at fault. Everyone wants to save the future, but they don't feel the pressure; instead, they put it on Li Chen, and now the side effects are erupting.
But there was no one who could remedy the situation.
Uncle Mu said somberly, "Is it possible that the future Elder Gu saw back then meant that humanity didn't perish, but that each timeline had countless possible outcomes?"
"Although I don't really understand these things."
"But since Elder Gu chose Li Chen, it means he won't destroy the world in the future."
After a few seconds of hesitation, the person on the other end of the phone said, "Never mind... maybe this is just how the future will be."
"I don't have much time left either."
"I'm about to take the final step."
"This time, if we fail, the City of Sin is yours."
"Hello... hello..." Uncle Mu roared twice into the phone, looking dazed.
He naturally knew which step was the final one.
But is he City of Sin now?
Looking at the phone with its screen off, Uncle Mu sighed and murmured, "The future... the future... why is Human Race destined for this fate?"
He stood up and looked at the 3D map.
Now, in the City of Sin, he still needs to consolidate his power.
Inside a small bunker.
"Hold head high--"
A high-pitched and wild engine roar pierced the night sky.
Su Zhe sat on a black motorcycle, gripping the handlebars and grinning widely.
"Holy crap, Mu Hen, you've got some good stuff hidden here!"
How about you sell me this motorcycle?
Mu Hen waved his hand and said, "This isn't for sale. It was a gift from my dad when I turned six."
Did you know how expensive a motorcycle was back then?
"Even though it's depreciated in value now, it's still a part of my memories, I won't sell it no matter what!"
Su Zhe chuckled, but didn't bring it up again.
Su Xian stood to the side, curiously observing the various weapons displayed on the wall.
He hadn't expected this small secret base to be so dangerous.
Despite all this time, why is there not a speck of dust, and why are these weapons still brand new?
It looks like someone comes to Cleansing every day.
The main reason is that he rarely sees these weapons even inland.
Most Sequence User don't carry this kind of weapon anymore; it's too easy to dodge.
It's also almost ineffective against Eerie Monsters.
Mu Hen walked over to Su Xian and said with a smile, "Don't underestimate these weapons."
"They've all undergone special modifications; many people wanted to buy them here back then."
Su Xian held a pistol with a sleek red glow in her hand, fiddled with it for a moment, and asked, "Oh? By the way, how did you manage to build this bunker here?"
"I've heard that this City of Sin is a large prison; surely someone will be in charge of these things."
Mu Hen laughed and said, "It's just the outside world's perception of the City of Sin. In reality, there isn't much difference between the inside and outside."
"You need money to buy a house, just like everyone else."
"Life and food are the same."
"It's just that the rules are different here; my dad still has some influence in this city."
"Otherwise, my secret base wouldn't have so many weapons."
Su Xian nodded.
In his view, the City of Sin was indeed different from the outside world; after all, the environment in the inland areas was much better than here.
Moreover, they just entered the City of Sin today.
It looks like a riot is happening inside.
His first impression was very bad.
At this moment, Su Zhe also walked over and asked, "Now that we've both come to the City of Sin..."
"Mu Hen, aren't you going to inform your father?"
"We'd like to know more information; maybe Chen-ge is waiting for us to pick him up!"
Mu Hen shook his head and said, "The cell phones here aren't compatible. I've already used my ability to notify them."
"We should be there soon."
On the other side, Uncle Mu was walking down the street.
The scythe swung continuously, and one criminal after another who rushed at him was killed.
Uncle Mu spat and said, "What a bunch of scum! Did they think I was dead?"
"Looks like those guys are in big trouble too."
"In the end, no one benefited from this War of Kings; that Lust fellow should be dead."
"But why did all those Eerie Monsters suddenly disappear?"
Just as he was lost in thought, a black origami crane floated down from the sky.
Uncle Mu grabbed it, and Mu Hen's voice came from inside.
"Hey, Dad, I've arrived in Sinful City."
"I'm in my childhood secret hideout right now."
"Come and see me immediately!!"
Uncle Mu finally smiled, a smile he hadn't shown in a long time, and scolded, "This brat, he probably can't tell the difference between the big and small kings."
"Wait, deal with these scum first."
