City Lord

The aircraft slowly descended.

The group saw a three-story building standing on the ground ahead.

It's neither luxurious nor grand; it's simple and plain, not much bigger than an ordinary house.

Ying Dang stepped off the flying vehicle and asked in confusion, "Is this the City Lord's Mansion?"

Shui Luo gazed at the small building, her expression blank, and said, "It's not a mansion, nor is it the home of a city lord; it's just my father's house."

Qin Yiguan also observed the surrounding environment.

The only privilege of this city lord's residence is that there are no other buildings within a ten-kilometer radius.

but.

To put it simply, the city lord prefers peace and quiet.

If we think about it in a more complex way, then the city lord has some unspeakable secret that he is trying his best to hide.

The young monk Shitian stepped out of the flying vehicle and cautiously touched the ground with his toes. "Eh... Amitabha."

Qin Yiguan's gaze also shifted slightly downwards.

However, the ground near the three-story building was different from that of the rest of the city.

The city is built on the back of a giant whale, but the ground is covered with alloy floors, which are flat and hard.

Only the ground near this small building was directly exposed, revealing the skin of a giant whale.

The whale's skin was dark blue with scattered white spots. Perhaps due to its long-term lack of contact with seawater, the skin in this area was slightly cracked. Beneath the skin's surface, there were protrusions resembling blood vessels, which meandered and twisted on the ground, converging at the foot of the three-story building.

Simply put, there's an inexplicable and eerie feeling here.

But Shui Luo suddenly explained, "My father likes marine life, so he wants to have close contact with blue whales."

Qin Yiguan narrowed his eyes slightly.

Then, in his mind, he asked the Starvation Corpse, "Is the aroma clear?"

"Master, it's very clear!"

"The aroma of level 5 cuisine wafts from this little building!"

"But Master, there's a small problem now."

"It's this Shui Luo next to you. The fragrance on him is increasing rapidly, becoming stronger and stronger. Because he's so close to you, it's slightly disrupting my sense of smell!"

The image of Starvation Corpse flashed through Qin Yiguan's mind. It turned its head and stared intently at Shui Luo, drooling incessantly.

Shui Luo was too close to Qin Yiguan; for the Starvation Corpse, the allure of him even surpassed that of the level 5 delicacy.

This is like asking someone who's starving to the point of despair: would they choose the readily available grilled lamb skewers beside them, or would they choose to catch a lobster swimming in the deep sea?

If he's not out of his mind, he'd definitely swallow the lamb skewers first.

He glanced at Shui Luo beside him; his expression seemed perfectly normal.

Qin Yiguan had to become alert; this guy was probably going to break down and become Negative Doppelgänger!

Subconsciously.

Qin Yiguan reached out and pulled the little monk Shitian away from Shui Luo, bringing him closer to himself.

As for the old Daoist priest Ying Dang, firstly, Qin Yiguan couldn't care less about that, and secondly, he wanted to see if the old Daoist had any hidden abilities!

Following Shui Luo, the group slowly entered the three-story building.

Behind him, Shui Luo's attendant muttered, "It's been almost three months since the city lord last showed his face, hasn't it?"

"It's been more than three months, almost four months!"

I wonder how his health is!

now.

Shui Luo turned around and said coldly, "Don't talk, you're disturbing Father's rest!"

The attendants' expressions changed, and they all fell silent.

Qin Yiguan heard their conversation clearly, and his expression flickered.

Then it was noticed that the windows of the three-story building had all been sealed off from the inside.

He found the small building increasingly strange.

There's a constant feeling that following the Shui Luo, one is heading towards a demon's lair.

"You can just stand guard outside the door."

Shui Luo turned around and addressed her entourage.

Squeak.

Shui Luo immediately pushed open the wooden door of the small building.

One of the dark corridors was revealed.

When Shui Luo saw the figure at the end of the corridor, she was stunned.

His sharp-eyed attendants spotted the figure immediately.

Immediately, the attendants bowed respectfully in unison, "Lord City Lord!"

But then they saw the figure slowly walking from the end of the corridor, its body and face gradually becoming clearer.

This is an elderly man wearing a scientist's white coat, with neatly parted hair, graying temples, and a short stature, but with a dignified, square face. He is about 60 years old.

With his hands behind his back and a calm smile, he exudes the air of a university professor.

Moreover, he was the kind of professor who was very kind and popular with students.

Qin Yiguan looked at that face, and his body stiffened slightly.

For no apparent reason, various very brief fragments of memory popped into my mind.

Research institutes, scientists, operating rooms, syringes, parasites, screams of pain, changes, imitations, all sorts of data...

And the old man's face...

However, the old man in my memory looked at least ten years younger.

"Are these my lost memories?"

Qin Yiguan's eyes widened slightly, but these fragments of memory emerged passively, the longest lasting only a few seconds, and he simply couldn't connect them together.

"This old man is connected to my childhood!"

"But who is he?!"

At this moment.

The elderly man in the white coat had already reached the door, smiling at the crowd. "I am Du An. Welcome everyone to my Giant Whale City."

Du An...

Du An...

Qin Yiguan kept thinking about the name, but to no avail.

At that moment, Shui Luo beside him lowered her head slightly and made a strange 'whooshing' sound from her throat!

Suddenly, Shui Luo looked up, his face contorted in a ferocious grimace, veins bulging!

Before anyone could react, Shui Luo suddenly charged forward, his arms transforming into several-meter-long, devilishly muscular arms that slammed into City Lord Du An from both sides!

Boom!

But then Du An stretched out his hands and actually grasped Shui Luo's arms, which were like two raging dragons!

He looked on incredulously, "My child, what are you doing?!"

The attendant behind him exclaimed in surprise, "Shui Luo, look closely, that's the City Lord!"

"I'm going to kill you, the city lord!"

Then Shui Luo roared, and countless tentacles split off from his arm. The muscles at the front of these tentacles condensed and tightly intertwined, forming a shape similar to a sharp cone!

Pfft!

Pfft!

The sharp, cone-shaped tentacles of the Shui Luo formed extremely quickly and with tremendous force!

It pierced through Du An's chest in an instant!

City Lord Du An's eyes widened, revealing an expression of disbelief.

But blood still trickled from the corner of Du An's mouth. When Shui Luo withdrew her arm, he fell backward and died.
