Chapter 282: 141: Breaking the Game, The Regicide - Zhou Baiyu
In the following days, the new world was established.
In a sense, when Linxiang City and Hechuan City were both subjected to "civilization suppression quarantine,"
these two cities had entered a state of "apocalypse arrival."
The world was filled with tragedy.
It was as if there was an invisible high wall around the world.
The two forcibly sealed cities were like two forbidden zones abandoned by humanity.
The complete lockdown of the two cities, with disconnected networks and severed signals, was as if returning to the Victorian Era.
At this time, the outside world referred to Linxiang City and Hechuan City as—the areas within the wall.
They, on the other hand, proclaimed themselves the regions outside the wall.
Under the separation of the high wall, people once again believed they were safe. The area outside the wall began to study the recent various conditions.
The notion of apocalypse arrival threw people into panic.
Various riots became more frequent.
Especially after the public committed numerous acts of violence against the two cities, when that desire cooled down... When the temporary high ground of "true goodness and beauty" was once again occupied, various "true goodness and beauty" began.
But everyone was clear—
Human rights and laws had been completely disrupted in their actions. At least this world doesn't have the crime of bragging, does it?
The law does not blame the public, and that righteous bullying was participated in by the whole world, after all. If there really were to be sanctions, who should be the first to start?
So, selective forgetting was chosen.
"No one mentions anything about Linxiang City and Hechuan City anymore, as if they never happened."
This became an unspoken agreement.
In the world outside the wall, everyone still talked about various things, everyone returned to the appearance of peaceful years.
But some things, once they happen, they happen.
When everyone recognized how evil they could be, it was very hard to suppress that evil.
In the world outside the wall, crime rates soared.
And in the world within the wall... all was peaceful.
...
...
Linxiang City.
The resources of the two cities soared, all of humanity was undergoing an unimaginable test.
Zhou Baiyu walked on the streets, sensing the fear on every face.
Although they lacked the ability to discern lies, the various "lies" from the outside world were still plenty to cause them immense panic.
But all this was largely resolved within half a day.
Ryan, one of only two people who could lie, established a new order.
He utilized lies to attain an unparalleled status.
He also used the power gained from lies to construct a new... order.
In Linxiang City's Times Square, countless people worshipped Ryan.
This man, who was not long ago a disheveled middle-aged drunk, now sported a neatly trimmed gentleman's beard, wore an expensive custom suit, donned monocular glasses, and protruded with a large belly.
When supreme power descended, even a pig could instantly possess a noble demeanor.
Ryan was not a pig, he was a very capable man.
After Linxiang City and Hechuan City were abandoned, when no one paid attention to these two cities anymore, he quickly organized the cities neatly.
Through every existing media channel in the city, even if it meant manually shouting proclamations on the streets.
In short, under Ryan's influence, various new laws and orders were quickly established.
Ryan had every household go back to their residences and wait patiently for new job assignments.
He also arranged for people to quickly inventory the resource reserves of the two cities.
Everyone followed his commands, each person began to engage in a cooperation that would nearly only occur in an ideal world.
No one doubted anyone else's intentions; no one rejected requests from others.
At Ryan's request, humanity began to save themselves.
Ryan transformed and became the new savior.
An ideal state was about to be born.
When lies were completely stripped away, when everyone was sincere...
No crime, no deception, no exploitation, everything was orderly and organized, except for the only person who could lie, it was almost an arrival of a new world where all beings are equal.
The world outside the wall remained cunning, ugly, full of sin and punishment.
The world inside the wall was completely the opposite.
Until the twenty-second day.
This was the last day Zhou Baiyu could resist and release lies.
But it was also this day that the two "emperors" who could lie, met.
Times Square became Ryan's palace, a place of pilgrimage for the masses.
Zhou Baiyu did not expose Ryan's lies.
Because in the minds of these people, the existence of a lie could lead to a state of mental overload.
In the vast Times Square, at least ten thousand people were kneeling.
Zhou Baiyu stood in the center of the square, very conspicuous.
He and Ryan were about sixty meters apart, and Ryan, holding a megaphone, had just been passionately speaking.
He enjoyed watching the people kneel down, listening to the divine oracle.
But seeing Zhou Baiyu, the only person standing, walking towards him, Ryan was not angry but was very generous as he said:
"I knew it, there's another in this city who can enjoy divine power like me."
"Welcome, the other king of this world."
Ryan spread his arms.
His Dragonese was exceptionally fluent, even more so than Constantin.
The crowd made way for Zhou Baiyu. They knelt and shifted their bodies like the sea parting at the command of the sea god.
Zhou Baiyu watched this scene, slightly moved.
In this group, there would even be quite a few pioneers.
As the defense mode descended, a large number of people entered Linxiang City, it could be said that this time the defense mode gathered all the pioneers in one fell swoop.
