"She returned to Zhulan during the school holidays. She was so self-conscious about her ugly appearance and the tumor on her face that she didn't dare to show up at the official party in Lanting. She asked me to appear at the party in her place! After she returned, she even grabbed my hair and threatened to cut my face with a knife!"
"My name is Bai Li, but countless people have called me Qi Miaomiao for fourteen years!"
Bai Li was breathing heavily. Her look was still calm, but two lines of tears kept flowing from her eyes.
Levi's questioning allowed her to finally release the secrets hidden deep in her heart into a cathartic outburst.
"But I don't care about these, and I can endure them! I can give her all those things, and she can beat and scold me and insult me at will! She can call me a stinky pear or a lowly animal! I only hope that she can let me see my family when I return to Zhulan, even if it's just once!"
"She wouldn't allow it! She said she would settle my family down, and that it would be the best outcome for them that I would never see my family again! But guess what she said to me on the train back to Zhulan that night?"
Bai Li's eyes were filled with bloodshot, and her tearful face suddenly smiled when she said this. Her smile was still very sweet, full of bitter sweetness.
"She laughed at me and called me a fool! My family had died a long time ago! They died in a heavy snowstorm caused by her cousin in pursuit of a woman. They all starved to death. She even sent someone to check and make sure they were all dead! In order to leave a memorial for me, she had someone cut off the finger of my youngest brother and kept it until that day before she showed it to me!"
"I knelt on the floor of the carriage holding my bony little finger. She kicked my head with her foot, laughing and taunting me, saying that I would die when the train arrived in Zhulan."
"Xiao Bai will become the symbol of her being the destined master of Zhulan. My achievements in the academy will become her best resume. She will receive the best surgery and become a perfect and beautiful girl. Every resident of Zhulan will love her. She is the superior one, and I am just a lowly animal."
When the voices returned to calm, Bai Li wiped the tears from her face. Her voice was a little hoarse, but no longer as hoarse as it was at the beginning.
"My family is all dead, and I'm going to die when the train arrives. She foolishly shows off everything she's done to me, mocking me, taunting me, insulting me, desperately trying to make up for her jealousy and inferiority towards me. Do you think I should kill her? What reason do I have not to kill her?"
Levi kept looking into her eyes. No matter whether she was excited or calm, he never looked away. He was like a quiet listener, listening to Bai Li's venting and statement.
At this point, when she asked this question in return, Bai Li had already finished telling all of her stories.
That wasn't actually a question at all. She wanted to get an answer or affirmation from Levi. She believed that she had done what she should do.
After killing the so-called princess, he returned to his hometown and identified the graves of his entire family with his own eyes. Finally, he wanted to avenge his family in this city!
In the middle, she met Levi. After seeing Levi's strength and murderous intention, she temporarily decided to use Levi's power to complete her revenge.
Therefore, she deliberately revealed all kinds of clumsy flaws in her identity in order to lead Levi to subconsciously doubt and speculate her identity, making him feel that it would be profitable to help her!
But now, all preparations have been made, but Levi has exposed her identity and removed her disguise, disrupting all her plans.
Bai Li stared at Li Wei, and Lanhua Xiaobai held her hand with its leaves, as if giving her the most loyal support.
"You got the answer, so what's next? What are you going to do with me? Send me to the Lanting Grand Council Hall to claim my reward? Or end the cooperation we agreed on and go our separate ways?"
Hearing this question, Levi finally spoke.
His voice was soft, with a tone of inquiry and guidance, like a speaker putting forward an academic hypothesis.
"I'm not going to do anything to you, I just have a new suggestion. Princess Lanting, Qi Miaomiao, took away a lot of things from you, and it can even be said that she took away fourteen years of your life."
"Then I wonder if you are interested in taking away everything that belongs to her?"
Chapter 95 Burning, killing and looting
Quiet.
The room was silent.
Only the "dandelion" that had been transplanted by Bai Li a few minutes ago was swaying slightly with the flow of air.
Others, even Lanhua Xiaobai, stood there in a daze.
Levi was waiting patiently, waiting for the man and the flower to digest the question he had just raised.
After an unknown amount of time, Bai Li moved the corners of her obviously stiff mouth, and asked back stutteringly as if she didn't understand what Levi had just said.
"You, you, what do you mean?"
"It's very simple." Li Wei said calmly, "She stole everything from you, your knowledge, achievements, and even your appearance. Now that you have killed her and she is officially missing in Zhulan's announcement, you have a great chance to completely replace her and become the princess of Zhulan."
"This is impossible!"
Bai Li shook her head like a rattle.
"Absolutely impossible! There is an archive where my and Qi Miaomiao's identities are archived. As long as someone checks the files and compares the data, it will still be discovered!"
"You can burn them all." Levi said lightly, as if he was asking Bai Li to pick strawberries in the afternoon.
Bai Li's voice was a little hurried.
“But even if those outsiders in Lanting never saw Qi Miaomiao again after she went to the academy, several relatives and some close confidants of the former chairman still know her, and they know me too!”
"You can kill them all."
Bai Li's voice became even more flustered. It was not that she thought Levi was talking about something unbelievable, but it seemed that this thing might really be possible!
"Qi Miaomiao and her family in Zhulan have had correspondence and other communications over the years, and those are also flaws. Once discovered."
"You can grab them all and make them your own."
Burn, kill and rob.
These evil and criminal words came out of Levi's mouth without any hindrance or darkness.
He was so casual, as if he was not discussing some top-secret plan to change the ruler of a city with millions of people, but just chatting about something trivial like picking strawberries instead of picking grapes.
Bai Li felt that her breathing became a little difficult.
Levi also gave answers to all the questions she asked. They were simple, direct, effective, violent, but feasible!
This made Bai Li feel as if it was unreal. She looked at Levi, as if she couldn't see through this man no matter what.
"Why are you doing this? What good will it do for you to help me and let me replace Qi Miaomiao?"
Levi shook his head and just asked back.
"In your original plan, after you and I killed Qi Zicheng and all our enemies, where were you going to go?"
When Bai Li heard this question, there was a moment of confusion in her eyes.
“I, I haven’t thought about it yet.”
"Then what do you think caused Zhulan's current situation?" Levi asked indifferently.
Faced with this question, the confusion on Bai Li's face disappeared.
Or rather, for a long time before, she herself had been secretly wondering why this was happening?
She read a lot of books in college, not just those related to biology, but also those sociology and philosophy books hidden deep in the library, those dusty books that no one had cleaned, and those books that were left over from when humans still lived on earth thousands of years ago.
In the past, when faced with this problem, she would say it was people, because those in power were bad.
But now, she already has the answer in her heart.
"It's the system, it's morality, it's education. Without the system, rights will not be constrained. Without morality, the atmosphere will be corrupted. Without education, the lower classes will become ignorant and can only act like numb cattle and horses!"
Levi took over her words.
"But in Zhulan's case, the farmers are completely scattered, with no news, and very few resources and information. There is no one to lead or support them. Even if some of them want to resist, they are helpless and can't even make a fuss in this city."
"The things you mentioned don't exist in Zhulan, and if the current situation continues, they will never exist in the future. They can only be treated as cattle and horses from generation to generation, from birth to death, and all their output is used to make wedding clothes for others, just like your deceased family members, who were sold from Taiyang to Zhulan as laborers."
“And now is an opportunity.”
Levi and Bai Li looked into each other's eyes.
"You take away everything from Qi Miaomiao, turn into her, become the supreme leader of this city, the leader of the 72 landlords, and the head of the Lanting Grand Council! Then use the power and status in your hands to help those farmers who will never be able to rise up change their status quo, and give them a chance to resist!"
Having said that, Levi suddenly smiled and shrugged.
"Of course, this is just my wishful thinking. Even if you only have some sympathy for the farmers below but don't want to take the risk to do anything for them, it doesn't matter. As long as you are willing to take away everything from the princess, I can help you!"
Bai Li pursed her lips, she stood blankly with her back against the wall, her body trembling slightly uncontrollably due to nervousness.
Levi's words seemed to open the door to a new world for her. She had never thought about these things before, and never dared to think about them.
But now, a man she had only known for less than three days suddenly told her that all of this could become a reality!
As long as she agrees.
Seeing that she was lost in thought, Levi did not bother her any further, but just said as he turned around and prepared to leave the room.
"You can think about it first. I'll go figure out how we can solve the lunch problem today."
He walked out of the room, leaving Bai Li enough private space.
The reason why Levi was so generous was that he seemed to be helping her selflessly, but of course it was not free of charge.
Since reputation can be represented by secular political positions and power, as the supreme leader of this city, as long as he obtains the highest reputation from the chairman of the Lanting Grand Council Hall, it is equivalent to gaining the reputation of more than one million people in the entire Zhulan city!
Levi glanced at the reputation value on the player's information, and a beautiful curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.
The more the upgraded tasks forced him to agree with the upper class and exploit the lower class, the more he wanted to do the opposite!
Let him please the big landowners?
it is good!
Then he personally promoted a farmer's daughter to the highest position among these big landowners!
Let's see who will exploit whom in the end!
As for what Bai Li really thinks, even if she succeeds in the end, will she be quickly assimilated and corrupted?
What does that have to do with Levi?
He is just a game tester who wants to speed run back home. Even if the world is destroyed, it has nothing to do with him!
Chapter 96: They are all insects
Lunch was simple. Levi found two roasted corns, which was enough for the meal.
It was while eating corn that Bai Li made her decision.
"I'll be Qi Miaomiao!"
Levi had just finished chewing the last kernel of rice on the corn cob and wasn't surprised by the answer.
He could see the toughness hidden beneath Bai Li's appearance.
She was deprived of 14 years of life. No matter what she did or what achievements she made, everything did not belong to her. Instead, it was given another name. In the end, all she got was the tragic death of her entire family.
She hated the government of Lanting and had complaints about the city.
Levi's words woke her up.
Qi Miaomiao uses the name "Qi Miaomiao" for everything. In Zhulan, the people and the big landlords in Lanting have the impression that the name "Qi Miaomiao" is mostly their own name plus a small part of the real Qi Miaomiao!
Now that Qi Miaomiao has been killed by her, her body and the carriage have been abandoned in the empty cross-city tunnel, and they may never be found in this lifetime.
Then why can't she become Qi Miaomiao?
When thinking of this, Bai Li felt a little panic and panic subconsciously, but deep down in her heart, there was a hint of excitement and excitement!
Bai Li didn't know why she felt excited. It was as if an unknown seed began to take root and grow deep in her heart!
"Then tell me, who are the people in this city who know you?" Levi asked.
Bai Li ate the corn bite by bite as she recalled and named three people.
"Qi Miaomiao's cousin Qi Zicheng, the former chairman's personal butler, and a landlord who usually helps the former chairman deal with dirty matters, only these three people know about it."
"Where is the archive room where you and Qi Miaomiao's files are stored?"
"It's right under the roots of that big tree in the center of Zhulan City. The files of all the city residents and rural farmers are there."
Levi poked the cob into the dirt.
"Then let's go ahead and kill Qi Zicheng's entire family as planned."
"kill me?"
At the edge of the shade of the ash tree, in a huge manor.
Qi Zicheng, the nephew of the former chairman and director of the Zhulan Meteorological Bureau, was sitting on the large sofa with his legs crossed. He was shaking the wine glass in his hand and looking at the deputy director of the Meteorological Bureau next to him with a sarcastic look on his face, who was looking worried.
"The people in Lanting don't have the guts to do that! If they attack me today just to compete for the position of chairman, once this door is opened, if there are more conflicts of interest in the future, won't everyone in Zhulan's upper echelons be in danger?"
The worry on the deputy director's face did not disappear. He looked around and made sure that there was no one else here. He walked closer to Qi Zicheng and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
"Those who are for the reform will certainly not attack you, but the former chairman has some die-hard followers. I'm worried if they find out."
Qi Zicheng laughed. His laugh was very exaggerated. Many people hated him because his expressions were so artificial and fake, but many people liked him and thought that this was his true nature.
