"Cough, cough, cough!" Ivan coughed violently several times, took a few sips of water from the large water cup to catch his breath, and waited until the itchiness in his throat subsided before he spoke slowly, "Since the extreme cold hit four years ago, more than 40% of the people in the outer city have been frozen to death in less than half a month.

A month later, food was in short supply and the outer city was in chaos. Within half a year, the guards of the outer city retreated into the inner city at an extremely fast speed, and the gates of the inner city were officially closed.

It is harder to pass the level than to die.

Without the army, the Outer City fell into chaos. Various factions sprang up one after another. The most notorious was an organization called "Kill." They ate and killed people, and the Outer City quickly became a hell.

"It's amazing that you can survive in the outer city for a year." Jian Jinge commented sincerely.

Ivan paused, glanced at her, and said, "Thank you for the compliment."

Jian Jinge folded his left hand over the back of his right and added a little late, "So, you're repeating that paragraph just to show how amazing it is that you survived a year in the outer city?"

Ivan choked and paused for two seconds, then ignored the sarcasm in her tone. "The leader behind the Kill organization is from the Thomson family. The leader of Kill is incredibly powerful."

"Didn't they say that many forces were rising? Is this the only one that has grown?"

Seeing her calm expression, completely unmoved by his words, Ivan's eyes flickered. "There's an organization called Akatsuki that's evenly matched with the Killing Organization. While they don't eat humans, they're not exactly easy to deal with."

"As for the inner city, it's pretty much what I said before. It's not exactly great, but it's still better than the outer city where people are eating people or even having nothing to eat. Of course, countless people still freeze to death every day."

At this point, he paused, frowning and hesitating for a long time, "Jane, do you think there are people with super powers in this world?"

Jian Jinge didn't answer, because he didn't really want an answer from him. Ai Wen took a deep breath and said with a heavy face, "I learned the truth by chance three years ago.

In this world, there are superpowered individuals called 'Spirit Masters', who are always accompanied by a creature that is neither human nor beast.

"I know. Let's get to the point." Seeing him getting agitated, Jian Jinge frowned slightly and interrupted him. "Evan, tell me something I don't know. For example, why the Morris, Abraham, and Johnny families are controlled by the Thomson family."

Ivan was interrupted and looked at her with complicated eyes for a long time, then nodded and said, "In the first year of the extreme cold, although there were some minor frictions among the four major families, they still checked and balanced each other.

In the second year, the head of the Morris family was suddenly killed. The other three families took the opportunity to divide up most of the resources. The Morris family cut off the rear to survive. They gave up two of the three areas and retreated all their forces to the fourth area to defend it.

Another six months later, the Abraham family encountered the same situation as the Morris family. In the end, they also cut off their tail to survive and retreated their central forces to the third zone.

"In just over a year, at least half of the people in the areas governed by the two families have been killed or injured." Ai Ai coughed a few more times after saying this, with a hint of sarcasm and bitterness in his eyes.

Jian Jinge knew more and thought more comprehensively than Alvin. For example, as the head of a family, she didn't believe that such a person would be weak, and she didn't believe that they would be stupid enough to leave the protection circle without permission.

Therefore, to be able to break through the heavy protection circle of a big family and snipe a strong man, the "murderer" must be at least at the first level of the Starry Sky, or even the second level or above!

"Not long after the Abraham family suffered a heavy blow, the Johnny family took the initiative to surrender to the Thomson family, contributing a district and the areas harvested from the other two major families as a gift." Alvin continued.

When Jian Jinge heard this, his eyes darkened. "How much do you know about the strength of the Thomson family?"

Ivan shook his head, "I don't know." As if thinking of something terrible, his expression paused for a few seconds, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes, and finally he said, "I don't know the strength of the Thomson family, but I happened to see something by chance."

He took a deep breath and said solemnly, "I saw the head of the Thomson family kneeling and bowing before a faceless, masked figure in black. I was far away at the time, so I couldn't hear it clearly. I just vaguely caught words like 'admission ticket,' 'Wenta Hall,' 'responsible,' and so on."

"Then after they finished speaking, I saw the faceless masked man in black clothes turn into a puff of smoke and disappear on the spot as I watched."

When Jian Jinge heard this, she looked at Aiwen strangely for several times. Aiwen's scalp tingled at her gaze, and he subconsciously asked, "Jane, why are you looking at me like that?"

"You know, your survival is beyond my expectation." Jian Jinge said seriously, without hiding anything. "After all, with the strength of a Spirit Control Master, no matter how well you hide, as long as you can breathe, you can't escape their detection."

When Aiwen heard this, his expression suddenly changed, his pupils shrank, and his lips trembled several times.

Her words made him think of some things.

For example, after that day, one of his friends died.

And he was covering for a friend that day!

When Alvin thought about the series of accidental "dangerous" events he encountered later, his face changed several times and finally turned pale.

Jian Jinge glanced at his face, which was so pale that there was no trace of blood, and did not ask him what he was thinking about. Instead, he was thinking about the faceless masked man in black that he mentioned.

Who could this person be?

The person who can make the head of the Thomson family kneel down must be of extraordinary status, not to mention his strength.

So, who is he?

Wenta Hall, admission ticket, responsible for...

Jian Jinge repeated these words several times in his mind, his eyes dim.
