The King of Alien Creatures [End Times]
Chapter 64 Deviation from the plan
three days later.
When Cao Er's body was buried, a letter of repentance written by Cao Er was plastered all over the streets and alleys, and became the focus of discussion for a while.
"I'll go, isn't it, Cao Er's position as the city lord is his sin!"
"No wonder the farewell ceremony was held so grandly. Isn't it a pity that the old city lord died."
"That's right."
"I just said that there was something strange at the time, and he co-authored him to hide it from us for so many years."
"All I can say is a good death."
"Seeing that the Sanctuary City is getting more and more popular, it's time for a new city owner to take office."
"I still think the old city lord is good and kind to people. How can he be so arrogant like this Cao Er? Do you really think that being the city lord can control everything? Hmph, it's ridiculous."
"But it's been so many years, and there hasn't been another person with more than 80% of the three genes. I see, this position is not guaranteed to be vacant."
"Don't you think it's suspicious? It's been so many years, why did you suddenly regret it?"
"Don't you know that Cho'er's funeral is going to be held today? He killed himself three days ago."
"Suicide? How did you die?"
"It is said that it was burnt to death, tsk tsk, that was a tragedy. My friend was near there at the time. It is said that when it was carried out, it was as black as carbon."
"It was not a suicide, it was caused by a sudden fire."
"Let's just say, who would choose to self/immolate, how painful it is, you can't do this without a bit of willpower."
"Hush! Don't discuss it, they are back from the funeral."
·
Apart from Jiang Yuan and the others, those who went to the farewell ceremony also included top professionals from other professions, as well as subordinates who used to have a good relationship with Cao Er.
Everyone felt sorry for Cao Er's death.
Jiang Yuan, who was in charge of driving, always felt that there was something strange about it. He went to the scene to check, and it was obviously not a fire/fire, let alone suicide, but someone set the fire on purpose.
But when I checked below, the clue was broken.
Obviously someone didn't want him to investigate further.
And this person is very likely to be the one who covets the position of the city lord.
However, once the city lord dies, there will be too many variables in the future.
"Hey, look, what's on the wall over there?" Li Yang, who was sitting in the back row, pointed to the walls on both sides of the road and said, "There are also over there, there are many."
She patted Jiang Yuan's headrest: "Jiang Yuan, lean over and have a look."
Guo Xi stopped him: "Don't go, we still have things to do, we can't become a mess just because the dragons have no leader."
But Jiang Yuan didn't intend to listen at all, the steering wheel was in his hands, it was not up to him to decide where to drive, and then he leaned over to stop the car.
Jiang Yuan was the first to get out of the car and squeezed in from the crowd: "Excuse me."
When the onlookers saw Jiang Yuan, they consciously opened a gap for him and let him in.
"Repentance letter?" Jiang Yuan read it line by line, his eyebrows furrowed tighter and tighter.
Guo Xi, who followed behind, didn't look at it, and asked next to him: "Jiang Yuan, what did you post?"
Jiang Yuan's face was gloomy, and his mouth was pursed into a line: "The city lord's letter of repentance."
Guo Xi: "!!!"
He stepped forward and tore it off, holding it tremblingly in his hands and asking the people around him, "Who posted this?"
Everyone shook their heads: "I don't know."
No one dares to paste indiscriminately, isn't it courting death?
"This..." Guo Xi tried his best to control his trembling hands, and after finishing the book of repentance, he felt cold sweat on his back.
At that time, Wan Yang said that he just went in to argue with him, and if the theory failed, he would solve it by force, so they were asked to wait outside, but in the end there was a big fire and a carbon corpse.
As a result, another letter of repentance has come out now.
Guo Xi couldn't figure out what Wan Yang was going to do.
Why is it different from what you said?
At first they said that they used a genetic mask to fake Wan Yang's identity and make him the new city lord, but now...
Guo Xi didn't wait for Jiang Yuan to speak, ran to a place not far away, squeezed in, tore off the confession letter stuck on the wall, and held it in his hand for comparison.
Exactly the same, it's clear...
"What's going on?" Jiang Yuan couldn't understand him a little bit, and watched him run to the side again and tear off another letter of repentance that was exactly the same from the wall.
Jiang Yuan chased after him, put his hand on his shoulder: "Brother Xi?"
"It's over, it's over now." Guo Xi's hands shook like he was sifting grains, he looked at the letter of repentance, then looked up at Jiang Yuan, repeating what he said just now.
"What's the end?" Jiang Yuan pressed his shoulder and asked with concern, "Brother Xi, is it that person?"
Before Guo Xi could answer, the other two rushed over, also holding a letter of repentance.
Yan Yuwei took the letter of repentance in front of the two of them, shook it twice, and made a few crisp sounds: "Did you see it? What... what's going on here?"
Guo Xi pushed them away, left the sentence "I still have something to do" and ran towards the car without looking back.
Seeing this, Jiang Yuan said to Yan Yuwei and Liyang: "Go back, I will drive the car away."
Liyang pointed at them and ran away one by one, shouting: "No, you go..."
Yan Yuwei grabbed her, dragged her aside, looked around, and whispered, "I seem to have seen the old city lord a while ago."
Li Yang didn't react for a while, stared into his eyes for a long time before saying: "What did you say?"
Yan Yuwei guessed that she would have this reaction, after all, when he saw it, it was similar to her reaction.
He nodded and shook the letter of repentance in his hand twice: "Well, it might be Wan Yang's fault."
"No, isn't Wanyang long gone?" Liyang stretched out her hand to signal him to stop talking, threw back the hem of her clothes, crossed her hips, and kept pacing. She frowned, walked for a while, and came back Stopped in front of him, "Wait a minute, we were all attending the funeral at that time."
"Yes, I attended the funeral, and it was very grand, causing storms all over the city, and I haven't slowed down for a while, but did you see the corpse?" Yan Yuwei asked.
"No, it wasn't given by Cretan creatures outside..." Liyang put his fingers together on the neck and gestured, "I can't find the corpse at all."
"Isn't this the end?" Yan Yuwei looked at her puzzled face, licked his lower lip and continued, "I reported this to Cao Er a while ago, and his reaction was very strong at that time."
He was not afraid of Liyang's jokes, and pointed to his face: "Look carefully, you can still see some marks now."
Liyang's eyes widened, and he said in great surprise, "Did he hit you?"
Yan Yuwei nodded: "Tell me, if you really died in the line of duty, what will be your attitude when you mention the previous one?"
Liyang thought for a while: "Respect, remember, regret."
Yan Yuwei shrugged his shoulders: "Anyway, it definitely won't be a slap in the face."
Liyang scratched his neck, tilted his head to look at the place where the letter of repentance was posted on the street, there were still crowds of people in front of him, and then retracted his head: "You mean, all of this was planned by the old city lord?"
·
A fire burned all the things in the city lord's office, so naturally they couldn't be used anymore.
At this moment, Wan Yang was sitting in his office on the third floor of Area A of the administrative center, facing Guo Xi and Jiang Yuan who hurried over.
5 minutes ago.
Guo Xi didn't have time to explain to Jiang Yuan, got off the car and rushed into the office, slapped the letter of repentance on the table: "City Lord, what's going on?"
Jiang Yuan who followed behind was stunned for a moment when he saw Wan Yang, and was surprised for a moment, then walked up to Guo Xi and said, "You are that Su Wei."
Wan Yang smiled: "As expected of a top assassin, with full force and not bad intelligence."
Jiang Yuan still wanted to talk, Guo Xi walked over and pushed him away: "Jiang Yuan, you go out first, I will explain to you later."
"No need." Wan Yang stopped, "Sooner or later I will meet with you, so it's good to get acquainted in advance."
Guo Xi glanced at Jiang Yuan, then at Wan Yang, took a deep breath, walked up to Wan Yang, and said in a low voice: "City Lord, we agreed at the beginning, change your identity, and I will help you with other things OK, now you..."
Wan Yang stretched out his hand to signal him to shut up, leaned back, crossed his hands on the table, and looked at him calmly: "Am I the lord of the city or are you?"
Guo Xi was taken aback for a moment, and after a few seconds of delay, he took back the letter of repentance on the table and held it in his hand, and said respectfully, "You are."
Wan Yang smiled, and stopped looking at him, but turned to Jiang Yuan over there: "This is not the first time we have met."
Jiang Yuan nodded calmly: "Yes."
Wan Yang lowered his head and pursed his lips and smiled, then got up and walked to him from behind the table: "In the future, you and Guo Xi should help me a lot."
Jiang Yuan paused for a second, then nodded slightly: "It is our duty to protect Sanctuary City."
Wan Yang smiled, turned around and walked past Guo Xi: "That's good, please, don't forget what you should do."
He waved his hand: "Let's go back, Guo Xi will make preparations and announce the good news to everyone tomorrow."
Guo Xi nodded: "Yes."
·
Coming out of the office, Jiang Yuan stopped Guo Xi's way: "Brother Xi, let me ask you, is Cao Er's death related to you?"
Guo Xi lowered his head, staring at his shoes without answering.
Jiang Yuan asked again: "How did he come here? Why didn't he die?"
Guo Xi shook his head, but still refused to answer.
Jiang Yuan took a deep breath: "Okay, let me ask another question. I was young at the time and I can't remember clearly. What do you think is the difference between him and Cao Er?"
Guo Xi finally raised his head, looked at him and said, "He is more responsible than Cao Er."
Jiang Yuan: "So he set fire to burn people to death."
When Guo Xi heard these words, his pupils trembled, he swallowed abruptly, and lowered his head again: "Would you believe me if I said it wasn't so?"
Jiang Yuan didn't answer, he took out the letter of repentance that he had squeezed into a ball from his hand and held it in front of him: "What about this one?"
Guo Xi shook his head: "You heard what he said. And he is the only one who can be the city lord now, I..."
He sniffed and laughed dryly: "I just help him, give him a hand."
Jiang Yuan shook his head: "You are confused."
Guo Xi smiled wryly: "Originally we agreed that he will succeed the city lord with a new identity."
He sighed, and said deceivingly, "But it's better than Cao Er, forgot that he slapped you?"
Of course Jiang Yuan didn't forget, but he always felt that Wan Yang being the city lord was not the right choice.
He patted Guo Xi on the shoulder and said, "Actually, whoever becomes the city lord is the same to us, and our mission will never change."
When Cao Er's body was buried, a letter of repentance written by Cao Er was plastered all over the streets and alleys, and became the focus of discussion for a while.
"I'll go, isn't it, Cao Er's position as the city lord is his sin!"
