Lord's Command

How can you spot a carefully planned scam by Hell Organization and come up with a solution within two seconds?

Answer: All you need is a brain.

In less than two seconds, Xiao Xiao figured out what the Hell Organization was up to and immediately came up with a solution.

Lord's authority: Command.

As he turned and walked toward the street behind him, he focused his mind and vaguely resonated with a certain level of spiritual connection with a massive life form that was right beside him—the city. Then, using the special power granted to him by the Black Gate City Lord-level contract, he issued an order: immediately conceal yourself, prepare to make a move, but do not give orders or provoke the Hell Organization.

This command, issued by his will, instantly entered the vast city.

It was immediately amplified by the enormous life form of Black Gate City, endowed with an inviolable power, and passed on to others.

Through this process, the sentence is no longer just a suggestion, but a command.

Lord privileges are used in situations like this...

"What?"

Almost all the strangers in Black Gate City felt this will appear in their minds.

It was clear and unambiguous, and carried an unyielding and imposing presence.

They were already torn between whether or not to help their leader retrieve his heart. A delicate balance had been struck between helping and staying out of it. But the moment the order came, the thought of hiding filled their minds. They reacted as if on fire, almost without thinking, and quickly disappeared into the nearby building.

Fortunately, Xiao Xiao reacted quickly enough; otherwise, Black Gate City would have been split into two camps: one willing to help and one unwilling to help. Although those willing to help were also deceived by the illusion, they would still be somewhat unhappy.

It is unknown whether this division is one of the goals that the Hell Organization wants to achieve.

Was he deliberately trying to disappoint the people of Black Gate City so that he could genuinely join the Hell Organization?

Less than three seconds after the bet was signed, Xiao Xiao realized that the Hell Organization was definitely not as simple as he had thought.

"What is that?"

Similarly, after Xiao Xiao issued the order, Ruan Ruan, who was frantically chasing forward with her short legs, was also strongly influenced by the City Will. Caught off guard, she suddenly stopped in her tracks, feeling a thought that did not belong to her growing wildly in her mind. This thought made her quickly stop chasing and hide, waiting for the chairman's order.

Her simpler way of thinking couldn't even comprehend what was going on.

He felt a splitting headache, so he picked up a metal wrench and slammed it against his head several times, trying to knock the thought out of his mind.

But this was undoubtedly a failure. After knocking a few times, the idea that she should hide grew rapidly in her mind and overwhelmed her original thought. She immediately felt that she wanted to hide and rushed into the building next door.

It's like walking down the street and seeing oranges growing by the roadside.

We knew these oranges wouldn't taste good, and having just eaten, we had no intention of eating them.

But suddenly a thought popped into my head: I wanted to pick an orange and play with it.

We don't know where this thought came from, but it has already controlled our behavior.

"Um?"

With Ruan Ruan painful scream, Ruan Ruan grabbed a metal wrench and scurried into the building next door. Yang Jia, who was in front of her, was startled. She heard Ruan Ruan's scream and turned around to look at her. She saw Ruan Ruan suddenly change her route and run away. She was surprised. "Anyone in Black Gate City might suddenly run away out of fear, but only Ruan Ruan would never run away halfway!"

"But why did she suddenly give up the chase and hide?"

"... Is there some kind of command influencing her?"

"..."

As an outsider, Yang Jia was not affected by the forced orders, but he sensed something was wrong with Ruan Ruan.

The more he thought about it, the more bizarre it became. " In Black Gate City, only Mister Ye and Xiao Xiao could force Ruan Ruan to give orders..."

Why did they give this order?

"..."

Ruan Ruan was influenced by the City Will; before she could figure out what was going on, she was forcibly ordered to hide.

Yang Jia was unaffected, but the more she thought about it, the more alarmed she became. Suddenly, she realized. "Xiao Xiao's heart was taken out, but why didn't that terrifying and twisted black shadow behind him react at all... Unless, it was all an illusion?"

His figure stopped abruptly, and the door frame that had been unfolding in front of him suddenly appeared behind him.

Yang Jia felt a sudden pang of disappointment and anger. "So I've been fooled?"

"Damn it, I'm the most reckless person in Black Gate City!"

"I wonder if that guy will laugh at me later..."

"..."

Having figured this out, she felt both ashamed and guilty, and immediately stepped back into the doorway.

His figure instantly receded into the distance, merging into the dazzling lights of Black Gate City.

So now, the only one left who is still aggressively and quickly chasing after that fog is Lin Bo.

"100,000 points, 100,000 points..."

He roared angrily, his figure defying the laws of physics as he soared through the air, tightly gripping the cloud of fog that was rapidly surging out of the city. He kept accelerating, and every now and then a ring of white mist-like air waves would burst out around his body. The glass on the surface of some tall buildings around him was shattered by the roar caused by these air waves, creating a sonic boom effect.

Then, just as the mist was about to fly out of Black Gate City, they finally caught up.

His expression was extremely angry. He roared loudly, suddenly raised his body, and pulled a glass test tube out of his sleeve. He flicked off the stopper with his finger and was about to sprinkle the pale yellow liquid inside onto the cloud of mist in mid-air.

But just then, he suddenly felt a shadow looming over his head.

Looking up blankly, he realized that he had reached the edge of Black Gate City. Above him, a thick fog, like ink seeping into clear water, slowly seeped in and spread out. Within the large fog, three black ships with strange and twisted skeletons and fleshy substances were slowly pressing forward, slow, mysterious, yet carrying a powerful pressure.

At the bow of the ship, there were three people with strange eyes, some standing and some crouching.

The one in the very center had its face covered with white paper strips, and its body was wrapped in layers of white cloth.

The one on the left is a woman wearing a black dress, with messy hair, and covered in bottles and jars.

The one on the right is a man wearing camouflage, bald, with scars all over his face and neck.

Behind them, amidst the thick fog, countless figures could be vaguely discerned.

They were all looking at him with curious, teasing eyes.

"?"

Lin Bo was startled and quickly put away the test tube in his hand. When he looked back, he was completely dumbfounded.

There was no one behind me.

Not only did none of the strangers from Black Gate City come over, but even Yang Jia had initially followed him, and the violent little girl from Black Gate City were nowhere to be seen. Only the dazzling lights of Black Gate City, scattered like stars, stretched out coldly behind him.

Lin Bo was completely dumbfounded. "What's going on?"

"What happened?"

The Hell Organization is asking the same question.

They looked at the returning Hell Messenger with strange expressions, then at the empty Black Gate City before them, now under the overwhelming army. Everyone deliberately ignored the fool who had charged in alone, their expressions filled with deep incomprehension and questioning.

"Is it because this new guild leader of Black Gate City is so unpopular that no one is willing to come and rescue him?"

"Or do the people of Black Gate City have a lot of faith in him and firmly believe that he would fall for the trap so easily?"

"..."

Amidst their confusion and bewilderment, a deep sense of frustration seemed to linger on their faces.

Behind them, the crew members, whose expressions varied but were extremely excited and frenzied, also looked somewhat disappointed.

"We rehearsed our entrance costumes for several days..."

"Yes, we perfected the timing of our entrance, our movements, and even our facial expressions..."

"... and they arrived full of excitement, only to find no one there to greet them?"

"... That's a little awkward!"

"..."

"Cough!"

Sensing the disappointment and confusion of the crew behind them, the three men standing at the bow quickly realized that now was not the time to undermine morale. So, White Devil forced a smile, glanced casually ahead, and chuckled softly:

"It's not like no one fell for it; there was one, wasn't there?"

"He seems quite capable. If we had been a fraction of a second slower, this messenger would be gone..."

"..."

"Whoosh!"

Lin Bo, who was considering whether to sneak away while these people didn't take him seriously, felt a chill run down his spine.

He hurriedly shouted, "Don't misunderstand..."

"To be honest, I'm actually just an outsider. You can think of me as just taking a walk..."

"..."

"It certainly doesn't look like the Black Gate."

White Devil glanced at Lin Bo and said, "He's been very proactive. Is he also a good friend of Chairman Xiao?"

There was an inexplicable sense of jealousy in his words.

"Wearing such a flashy white robe, he must be from the Dante Organization."

At this moment, the woman in the black dress on the left-hand side of the ship glanced coldly at Lin Bo and said, "Moreover, his rank is not low; he is a divine messenger. Many people already consider Dante to be the mortal enemy of our Hell Organization, and this guy has caught up with us and even tried to attack our messenger, which means he is hindering our plans. So what's the point of wasting words? Let's catch him and kill him first!"

Lin Bo suddenly became a little anxious and said, "They're not mortal enemies..."

"Dante and the Hell Organization, one likes to do research and the other likes to throw parties, how could they possibly be mortal enemies?"

"..."

"Our Hell Organization has never considered these idiots to be our mortal enemies..."

White Devil smiled and shook his head, saying, "But since we've run into each other here, why not just kill them?"
