It's not the protagonist, what does it matter if you are trapped in the Shura field

Chapter 264 Don't Blame Me for Bullying You

Affected by the decline in intelligence, the other people present all showed a certain degree of sluggishness, and it seemed that thinking had become a difficult thing.

Vermeer was completely unaffected.

She looked at Zorman who was pressing his head not far away, forcing him to talk to her.

"That makes sense, then what?"

"Then..." Zorman shook his head, "Don't think you can fool me!"

"...?"

Could it be that he was not so affected?
Zorman said dissatisfied: "You must want to imitate us after listening to it, don't you? It's useless. How can our feat be replicated so easily? We have spent so much effort on this plan since we started it 20 years ago."

Ok……

Vermeer let the staff rest in his hand, and said with a sigh of relief: "Since there is no way to imitate, then it doesn't matter if you say it. This will let us know where we lost."

Zorman showed a "Yes?" expression.

But soon he put away his expression, "Hmph, listen, stupid guy, I'm going to tell you an amazing secret."

"Ah, yes yes yes..."

Vermier nodded repeatedly, but groaned in her heart.

Falling into your own trap, you are not so smart!
"I want me too!"

At this moment, Lu Yi suddenly came over.

She waved to the two excitedly, and said with her feet hanging off the ground, "I also have a lot of secrets to share! Lu Yi knows a lot!"

"Oh?" Zorman was distracted, "What secret do you have?"

"Hahahaha! You don't know yet, the things hidden on your body were stolen by me!"

"I know," Zorman replied, "I saw you break it up."

"Uh..." Luyi shrank suddenly, "Luyi didn't do it on purpose, it's none of Luyi's business!"

Then he jumped in a space, and he didn't know where he went.

call……

Wemir heaved a sigh of relief, and wiped it on his head secretly.

Originally, he was worried about the impact of Lu Yi's sudden appearance, so he winked at her a few times but didn't notice it at all.

Fortunately, nothing happened.

Zorman looked at the disappearing figure because of the unknown crooked demon, but lowered his head and meditated, "But... I was clearly placed in the magic control box on my arm, and it stands to reason that I was protected by a non-material shield and a curvature force field. , it is impossible to be taken away..."

Hop, ga, bang.

Just as he was meditating, screws and springs popped out of the metal on his arm, and various parts crackled and bounced all over the floor.

"...?"

Zorman showed doubts, but Luyi unexpectedly reappeared where she had disappeared.

"Haha~ Who said I only passed one!" She stuck out her tongue playfully, as if the departure just now was just a cover, "Iluth told me to seize the opportunity and take all the key props on your body as much as possible." ~"

"what?!"

"Slightly~~"

Lu Yi made a grimace, turned her back and patted her buttocks, with a look of pride on her prank success.

Zorman was shocked for a moment, but soon, the expression on his face turned into a sneer, and he didn't care about the sparking equipment in his hand.

"Your secret is nothing compared to mine."

He spoke confidently and confidently.

Vermeer: ​​"..."

They seem to be completely unaware of their mental decline...

However, this also let Vermier know that the other party would fall into his trap because Iluth took Luyi to take precautions in advance, and probably created a space for Luyi to steal when he was attacking back and forth with Luo Wei. File it.

Hmm... so Ro Wei also noticed something?

Then why is he not moving...

"Who, who said it," Lu Yi argued with a face full of sophistry, "The one just now was just an appetizer, and the real secret will scare you when you tell it!"

"Oh? Then tell me?"

"Hee hee, I took the note from Ayining's door, she must still be holding a grudge against Uncle Luo Wei for breaking the promise!"

Ayi Ning: "..."

Vermeer scratched her head.

What is the note under the door?
As it happens, Zolman is thinking the same question, and, who is Rowe Brook's uncle, and why does his uncle date people with a grudge?
Countless question marks popped up in his mind, and Zorman stood there in a daze.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Luyi became dull for a moment, and decided to pursue the victory: "Also, Saya's butt is big and round, and Uncle Luo Wei touched it all over!"

Saya: "...!"

Well……

I feel like a lot has happened in these three days...

Now is not the time to think about that.

"Nonsense, blah, blah..."

Saya, with dazed eyes, hesitated over there, but Zorman raised his head, without even looking at her, and smiled contemptuously at Luyi: "I thought what you were going to say was just useless .”

"Varied……!"

It was unbearable, the angel couldn't bear it, anger filled the godless eyes, Saya pulled out her spear and was about to stab someone, but was held down by A Yi Ning, who was covering her head, and the two fell together.

Zorman snorted coldly: "It's just boring things."

He showed an expression of "Since you want to know so much, I will show you mercy" and said slowly:
"What we're doing is a great cause."

"The history of the past keeps repeating. The cities built on this land are destroyed again and again, so frequently that even the major classics don't want to record it. Today's Crownless City is just the next wreckage to succeed at any time."

"The adjacency of great powers, the conflicts of alien races, the monsters emerging from the chaotic leylines, the alien passages in the forest, the battlefields of the old battles of gods... Due to the location and special and rich resources, people will definitely gather in this area, but they will never A long-lasting city cannot rise."

"Over the past 50 years, we've discovered this desperate truth."

"So we decided to save it."

save.

I remember hearing from Luo Wei that when I met people from the Artisan Association underground, the other party also said that what they did was to save the crownless city, and even invited them to join.

His intelligence has been reduced, and such words seem to represent the other party's true thoughts.

It's just that speaking from the other party's mouth always gives people a sense of madness.

"How to save?" Vermeer asked.

"Oh, why should I tell you?"

Is it too straightforward?

Vermier noticed that if the question raised was too sensitive, the other party would also keep his mouth shut based on a certain sense of crisis.

But it is easy to convince the other party as long as you insinuate.

Uh... Is this what it feels like to deal with fools?How come... I have experienced it too...

"But there are some things we already know," Vermier glanced back, "such as those mutants outside."

Zorman sneered.

"Mutants? Is that what you call them? It's an expression of ignorance."

"Then what are they?"

"They are nothing," Zorman responded to her, pressing his head, "They are new residents of the city without a crown."

"What's the meaning?"

"Can't you understand this? Of course, when the crownless city is protected from the surrounding influence, they will live in this brand new city."

Mutants are... new residents of City Without Crowns?

"What about the original residents?" Vermeer asked.

"Hehe..." Zorman sneered again, "Black Flame's technology has matured, and it's just a ritual to go from the old people to the new people, but not everyone has the opportunity, and only those who pass our strict screening are eligible Become a new citizen."

"But they..."

Vermeer thought of the process of transformation. These people look no different from humans on the surface, but as long as they are driven by a thought, they will turn into monsters with horns on their heads and lose their sanity as humans.

"But this kind of transformation is irreversible at all!" She said, "If you become like that, can you become a human again?"

"Of course not." Zolman wrote lightly.

Immediately afterwards, his eyes became wild, and he opened his hands vigorously, as if he had long been looking forward to the day when he could publicly announce it to everyone.

"What's wrong with this? Human beings are weak, and only mandatory conditions can restrain them. If you don't want to lose your identity as a human being, then try to realize your value in the city! Crownless City has gone through so many hardships, and the new city Naturally, there is no need for those who do nothing. At the critical period, everyone has the responsibility to defend the city, and contributing their lives is their qualification to ascend the city!"

Vermeer frowned after hearing this.

"You mean, all the new residents you have transformed are all 'voluntary'?"

Zorman slowly lowered his hand, "They will understand."

Vermeer's face darkened.

"Let me ask one more question. You said that you must pass the screening to become a new resident. What about those who fail?"

"To change the status quo of the city without a crown, these sacrifices are necessary. People who stand out from the old people will have outstanding bodies, perfect obedience, loyalty that will never leak information, and excellent coping capabilities. Under the guidance of their ideas, they are driven to continue to build, and the Crownless City will soon become an existence that surpasses the Second Continent and enter a new era!"

"Answer me directly, what will happen to those who fail!" Vermier asked sharply.

Zorman was silent for a long time this time, narrowing his long and narrow eyes slightly.

He finally said only four words:
"Fend for itself."

Vermeer choked, and gritted her teeth when she heard the answer.

Not "expelled from the city".

It is "self-destruction".

Luo Wei's worries were not wrong. If the city would eventually be destroyed, it would be neither the oppressive army nor the sanction of the gods.

Instead, it was destroyed in the hands of these lunatics.

She clenched her fists secretly, and decided to follow her own path. She didn't want to pretend to be righteous, and followed Luo Wei all the way to understand the necessity of conspiracy.

but--

She never thought that the craftsman would save the city without a crown by acting like this.

"Save? Stop talking nonsense." Vermeer gritted her teeth.

"what?"

"I only see that you put shackles on people's minds, block the freedom of others, decide life and death based on a single thought in your heart, and ruin their lives mercilessly in the face of attacks. Even if you become your new citizen, I will They all feel that it is better to let the Hooffire Empire rule, although the power of self-forging is deprived, but at least they will not be hastily taken away with their dreams and lives because of worrying about their thoughts in their hearts!"

Vermeer glared at the other party, and said word by word:
"As for those people you don't intend to accept, you are worse than ignoring their life and death. I hope they will make sacrifices to establish your so-called new era. Please make one thing clear first. The city without a crown is a city of craftsmen, isn't it? The city of craftsmen!!"

"Like you...abandoning half of the people, and the other half as slaves of thought to live for your so-called order, this can't be called a city at all, it's a prison at best!"

"The profession of craftsman can't be done by people without dreams!"

After yelling, Vermeer panted violently.

She has seen how much Ke Luoxi loves forging, and she also knows how exciting new inventions can be found every time she walks in the streets of the city without a crown. Will not be willing to be bound!

Craftsman's spirit, brave pioneering force, eclectic creativity.

This city may not necessarily become stronger every day, but it must become more vibrant every day.

And deprived of all of this, uprooting the entire city, destroying the dream of 20 craftsmen, this despair is more than massacre, she can't imagine what it will be like when that day comes.

Zorman stared at her blankly.

He didn't react, why did the girl who looked timid just now suddenly yelled at him, her aura completely overwhelmed him.

"..."

Vermeer lowered her head and took a few deep breaths.

There are still some things that she didn't ask, and she has to force herself to calm down.

"What's your next plan?"

"Go, next?" Zorman swallowed, still not recovering from Vermeer's yelling.

"I just want to know how great your next career is."

She is learning from Luo Wei. To deal with this kind of person, you should use insidious tricks. Don't blame me for bullying your brain!

"Next, we will..." Zorman's eyes lit up, but slowly dimmed again, "Next..."

There was a bit of confusion in his eyes, and he stared blankly at the empty space above.

"I forgot."

"...?"

Vermier held the staff and made eye contact, the other party gave her the feeling at the moment, as if she had really lost her memory, as if there were important things that she couldn't remember.

This gave her a sense of déjà vu.

I remember hearing from Luo Wei that Marshal Felica of the Hooffire Empire took out some of the key memories by herself to avoid leaking the information.

The third seat of the Artisan Association in front of me also performed such an operation?
Zorman looked down at his hands, spread out his palms in confusion, and looked at the fingers on the left and right sides respectively.

"I can't remember."

He said.

"But I do remember a name."

In the empty circular hall, the surrounding instruments were still operating, and Zorman was immersed in his vision.

"What is it?" Vermeer asked.

The man with narrow eyes closed his eyes, then slowly raised his head.

"That name is—"

Zorman opened his eyes, and there was a bit more cunning in his eyes.

"Icarus."

The figure leaped rapidly in the midst of the magical advance, and Vermier, who had been on guard for a long time, lowered her gaze, stretched out her staff to activate the protective barrier, and at the same time was preparing to activate the magic bomb that had quietly penetrated into the periphery.

In terms of insidiousness, you are far behind him!
Vermeer was ready for battle.

Not only myself, but I will never let you hurt others!

And at that very moment.

Dark purple scepter, dark brown sword shadow, water blue sword light——

Three figures passed her at the same time.
