Lord Authority

Don't worry, as long as you stay calm, you'll eventually realize what's happening to you.

After firing several shots into the city, Xiao Xiao's mood, like the Silver Revolver, suddenly relaxed. He was no longer affected by the anxiety and tension, and instead, he carefully sorted out his thoughts as he returned home.

There are only two things I need to determine now:

1. Who exactly is the person who supposedly influenced me in the shadows and led me to the Old Chairman's small building?

2. Why did it choose itself?

Thinking about these two questions carefully, it seems that they are not worth being too nervous about.

As for the road sign, since I'm certain it's right next to me, how could I not find it?

As for why they chose him, Xiao Xiao felt that since he had the initiative, there was nothing to worry about.

Just like now, at least I can choose not to inherit that Noah Project before I understand these things. After all, no matter how much influence that Old Chairman had on the people of Black Gate City, and no matter how much others respected that Old Chairman, he was really just a stranger to me. I didn't have a clear and specific feeling about his ideas and character.

Of course, it's still necessary to figure out the problem as soon as possible.

Regarding the first question, before going home, Xiao Xiao carefully observed the three Thorn Hound, the Old Record Player, and the Butcher at the street corner. However, after examining them for a long time, he still felt that none of them seemed quite right.

Those road signs, aren't they all S-level forbidden items themselves?

Where is the S-class aura in these guys?

After all, being rated S-class means that in some ways, she's even stronger than the little girl from the Rotten Kingdom.

But if that's really the case, why were they beaten like dogs by the other side back then?

As for the second question, Xiao Xiao silently sorted it out. He had now become the only Lord Pact in Black Gate City and had Xiao Xiao business among the natives. He believed that as long as he investigated, he could find out the answer. His father clearly had too many secrets. Although he was hiding now, Xiao Xiao was confident that he could find him.

That night, he rested well, and the next day, Xiao Xiao began his preparations.

Logically speaking, becoming Lord Pact of Black Gate City should mean being burdened with many affairs, but Xiao Xiao's situation was somewhat special. Yang Jia and Mister Ye, one on the left and one on the right, one in the open and one in the shadows, helped him share too many things, saving him energy.

What's more important now is to be familiar with one's own abilities and understand one's current authority.

The third stage of the Insightful One: The Void Gaze.

This kind of gaze that can transcend space and time sounds quite magical, but after trying it a few times, Xiao Xiao found that although it was useful, there were still many problems. Now, he only needs to stay on the third floor of the bar, and he can see whatever he wants. His gaze will occasionally become unfocused, and the things in front of him will be peeled away layer by layer like an orange.

Xiao Xiao had already tried it and found that after using this ability to its fullest extent, he could see very, very far.

The field of vision before you is like a telescope that can penetrate matter; as long as the focal length is right, you can bring everything into view.

Of course, he also encountered a lot of troubles in the process of practicing this ability.

"You can arrange for the women's restroom in the bar to be painted red."

The day after he started trying out these abilities, he couldn't help but find the store manager and give him instructions.

"Why?"

The store manager was somewhat surprised. "It was just renovated a month ago..."

"Just do it when I tell you to. Why are you asking so many questions?"

Xiao Xiao simply gave the order with a cold face, he was really at his breaking point.

Whenever he begins to familiarize himself with and practice this power, his gaze will penetrate the entire bar. It can be said that there is no secret place in these three floors for him. In particular, after gaining this gaze, he will occasionally encounter some embarrassing situations. So he will stain the women's restroom red to remind himself to stop in time, so as not to taint his morality.

The store manager respected this young boss who was rumored to have risen to his position based on his good looks, and quickly agreed.

But just before leaving, another thought suddenly occurred to me, "Where's the men's restroom?"

Xiao Xiao was momentarily stunned, then gave him a deep look and said, "Paint it a brighter red."

This is still necessary; if your gaze accidentally wanders into the women's restroom, you are only tainting your own moral character.

I accidentally wandered into the men's restroom; what I'm doing is catching my own eyes...

It seems that the explanation attached to the City Will before the enhancement was quite reasonable.

Indeed, there are many things that shouldn't be seen.

Besides being able to traverse space, Xiao Xiao also discovered that he seemed to have the ability to rewind time.

Of course, it's not real time travel; it's just that you seem to be able to see what something looked like a certain time ago.

He placed a half-eaten apple in front of him.

Xiao Xiao's three eyes overlapped, and he could see what the apple looked like before it was bitten.

By staring at a doorway, Xiao Xiao could see people who had passed by the door three minutes, five minutes, or even half an hour earlier.

However, every time I use this ability, the mental pressure is immense.

More importantly, Xiao Xiao found that this ability was extremely useless to him. First of all, he could see the traces of the past on a thing, but he could not see the future... In his current ability system, there was a feature that could predict the behavior of his opponents, which was similar to precognition, but in reality, it was completely different from predicting the future; it was just a kind of reasoning.

If he were to go back in time, he had already tested it, and at most, he could only see a maximum of twenty-four hours.

Beyond this limit, the nosebleed was just as bad as when I accidentally saw Yang Jia before.

If I were to become a detective, that would be quite impressive, but the problem is that I'm currently in a world fraught with danger, twisted and bizarre, and all the abilities the Insightful One can offer me are those that are neither very effective for self-defense nor very lethal...

I have a vague feeling that I got ripped off...

Whether it's Ruan Ruan's ability to crush bombs with her Ruan Ruan hands or Little Four's Shadow Contract, they are both genuinely powerful!

Unlike the lackluster third-stage ability of the Insightful One, the unexpected surprise came from the city's contract.

When Xiao Xiao completed the third stage of enhancement, he had already promoted to the Knight Pact on his own. After promoting to the Knight Pact, he immediately inherited the Old Chairman's Lord Pact. In other words, at least in this city, as a stranger, he had promoted two levels in a very short period of time, and his own authority had also been expanded twice in such a short period of time.

Among them, the intermediate Knight Pact increases the upper limit of purchasing city Enhancement Element.

Ordinary strangers can only exchange for some common special items in the city.

Upon advancing to the intermediate Knight Pact, one can exchange for dangerous items, which are one level higher than ordinary special items.

It possesses the ability to be mentally backed up by the city's memory.

They possess the ability to choose one or more of their own special characteristics, distribute them to their followers, and reclaim them at any time.

"Is this how the families of Silver Bullet, Old Zhou Under the Bridge, the Serpent Sisters, and Red Eyes Ling Ping were established?"

Xiao Xiao quickly realized the importance of this contract.

It can be exchanged for more advanced dangerous items, but that's just a minor detail. At most, it can only help one's followers exchange for some powerful elements for self-defense. However, the ability to have one's mind backed up by the city's memories is exceptionally magical. After asking Little Four, he realized what kind of ability this was... the chance to be resurrected in the city.

The city remembered itself, and preserved its spirit.

So, once you die, your companions can revive you if they are willing to pay a large amount of points.

And dispersing one's own uniqueness is even more magical.

Red Eyes Ling Ping and Luo Shen, the patriarch of the Silver Bullet Family, both possess powerful and magical abilities or items. They use this power to distribute their Red Eyes abilities and Silver Revolver abilities to their followers.

Therefore, everyone in the Red Eyes Club has red eyes.

The Silver Bullet Family all possess a Silver Revolver.

The specific ability index may not exceed that of the owner, but it is undoubtedly a great help.

However, what abilities Old Zhou Under the Bridge shared with the Serpent Sisters remains unknown.

And the Lord Pact...

... After carefully studying his inherited Lord Pact, Xiao Xiao realized that he had made a profit.

Originally, inheriting the Lord Pact meant that Xiao Xiao could inherit the Old Chairman's estate and have primary control over the item in his safe. However, this also meant responsibility. Unless Xiao Xiao was willing to take on the Old Chairman's Noah Project, he felt guilty about inheriting those things. This was one of the reasons why he did not step into the small building a second time.

At the time, however, I didn't realize that the promotion to Lord Pact itself represented something special.

[Sanctions] [Command] [Autonomy]

[...]

Among them, the [Sanction] ability is the ability to mentally attack other outsiders in Black Gate City. As a lord, you can suppress and harm them mentally under certain circumstances as a punishment for mistakes.

[Command] refers to the ability to force people to perform a certain task when faced with major events.

This surprised Xiao Xiao. If the Old Chairman at the time had the power of "command", wouldn't that mean that when the Hell Organization invaded, he could have forcibly ordered all the outsiders in Black Gate City to fight the Hell Organization to the death?

Why did he die in the end, while so many others survived?

The ability to act autonomously was what surprised Xiao Xiao the most.

This represents one situation: leaving the city.

The holder of Lord Pact can leave the city, either personally or by allowing other outsiders to do so.
