I'm a villain, not a devil

"...According to the laws of the empire, the sentence is as follows..."

In the dark room, Lan Keer didn't pay attention to what the chamberlain said, but only looked behind him from time to time.

However, after a moment, she still looked away with some disappointment.

No one came... The third prince, the fourth prince, and no one from the Lan family showed up.

"Alas..." She sighed lowly.

Even though Sean had already told her, and even though she had already expected it, when she really encountered this situation, complex emotions would naturally spread out of her heart.

'Maybe His Majesty doesn't allow them to come see me...' she tried to think.

However, what Sean said came out again and kept echoing in her mind.

"If you use the fake death drug, you have a chance to explore the secret, but there is a high probability that you will die - just to protect your son who has no brains and no emotions. Ha, interesting..."

Sean didn't persuade her or make any agreement with her. He just analyzed what would happen before and after the incident.

If there was no slight fluctuation, it would be false. However, as a mother, she still wanted to give her son some chance of survival.

If he left, Bai Wen, who stayed in that position, might not survive for a few days - His Majesty was even more cruel than imagined.

The chamberlain finally finished reading, and he handed over a bottle of potion with a calm expression.

"Please, Concubine Lan."

Are you ready...

Lan Ke'er raised her head, took a deep breath and took the potion.

Under the gaze of the other party, she raised her head and poured the potion into her mouth completely. However, no one noticed that something flickered on the tip of her tongue.

Consciousness is peeling off rapidly, and the weight of the body can no longer be resisted.

Lan Keer fell to the ground and made no sound anymore.

The chamberlain looked at it and then gestured to the outside.

A tall Silent Man walked in, his eyes closed tightly, and he stretched out a hand and waved it above Lan Keer's body.

He showed a sign language to the chamberlain, who nodded and took out a pair of scissors and cut off a piece of Lan Keer's clothes.

"Send it to the Lan family and let them set up a tomb. Tell them that this is the last dignity His Majesty has given to Concubine Lan. It is also for the sake of the Lan family and Speaker Lan Youshan."

"Yes." A chamberlain stepped forward and took the piece of cloth.

After the others left, the chamberlain who stayed in the room waited for a while, and then said to the air: "Send him off, there are already people waiting on the outskirts of the city."

The air rippled in response.

Lan Ke'er's body floated automatically without any wind and left the room.

After doing all this, the chamberlain hurriedly walked towards the emperor's palace.

Lan Keer's death was like that of an ordinary maid, without causing any waves.

Entering the emperor's palace, the chamberlain suddenly transformed into the shape of a seed.

The seed jumped onto the emperor's desk, and a voice came out from nowhere: "Your Majesty, the arrangements have been made."

The old emperor lying on the bed let out a broken breathing sound like a bellows, and then nodded gently: "Well, I can rest assured that you are doing things..."

The seed continued: "Your Majesty, where is the fourth prince?"

The emperor let out a dry laugh: "Oh, don't be in a hurry, Fourth Brother... The statue needs people to be busy for a while... He also needs to be contaminated with enough breath... When the matter is completed, let 'Shaun' appear again It’s good once.”

"I see-" Nazi replied.

The emperor continued to order: "Lao Er and Yuantie, you continue to be busy."

"Yes -" Naizi hesitated for a while and then said, "Your Majesty, the eldest prince and the fourth prince should be enough, right? Grand Duke Yuantie is different from other concubines with low strength. After all, it is deep red, which is easy to detect. Similarly, she is not the kind of person to sit still and wait for death. "

The emperor's voice suddenly became serious: "I have been waiting for so long and will not allow any mistakes!"

The seed quickly replied: "I understand, Your Majesty."

The emperor's voice suddenly became softer again: "You have followed me for so many years, and you know all my secrets... and what you understand better is that if you really want to realize your dream, you can't do it without me. .and--"

He drawled his voice: "Once I get everything I want, you will be my mother's first fruit in the future. As for those princes and princesses... As long as I continue to be in charge of the empire, shouldn't I get as much as I want?"

Zizi lowered his head and said nothing, looking like he was lowering his body to the ground.

The emperor waved his hand, indicating that he could leave, and finally added: "I have been a little restless these days. I will send someone to take a look at that place."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The seed jumped away and expanded rapidly when it went out, turning into the appearance of a praetorian guard.

When the room returned to calm, the old emperor coughed a few times on the bed.

He looked at the ceiling and murmured to himself, with undisguised anticipation in his voice: "I don't have much time... I can't wait any longer..."

Dense black worms spread out from under his body, seeming to devour everything around him.

The emperor's voice seemed to be suddenly distorted, mixed with the voices of old, middle-aged, and young people. Outside of those voices, there seemed to be a layer of strange sounds like snake language.

"I am the savior of this world..."

…

"call--"

In the sky full of sand, a group of people walking on the yellow wasteland stopped.

They wore thick windproof clothing and sand-proof masks on their faces.

Even so, the sand and dust in this place will still bring a lot of impact when scraped on the face. Occasionally, the exposed skin will be hit, which will cause a strong sting.

This group of people found a hillside that could cover some sand, and set up some tents themselves, so they had a place to rest.

About seven or eight people took off their masks together. They all let out a sigh of relief, and then each opened the huge backpack behind them to replenish food and water.

"The weather is getting weirder and weirder. Fortunately, I was prepared before I came. Otherwise, my handsome face would have been ruined if I hadn't walked halfway." A thin man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks complained with a curse.

Another middle-aged man with a Chinese-character face laughed loudly: "Skinny monkey, with that face of yours, disfigurement is equivalent to plastic surgery."

The crowd suddenly burst into laughter.

The man called Slender Monkey was not annoyed either. He had obviously been accustomed to this routine for a long time. He moved his buttocks and came to the man with the Chinese character face: "Brother Dao, are we really going to the right place? Damn it, it's just a joke. , but it’s getting more and more difficult along the way.”

Others also stopped laughing and looked at Brother Dao, the leader of the team. Shouhou was right. It was just a joke. They encountered few other dangers along the way, but the environment was getting worse and worse.

A girl who looked quite young also frowned: "Indeed, Brother Dao, you said that there is a super oasis that no one has ever seen before, and there is even a shelter? But in this place, let alone people, you are afraid Not even a few animals can survive. The crazy beasts we encountered along the way are getting weaker and weaker, and we haven’t seen many of them now.”

The thin monkey also nodded: "Yes, when we first came in, there were even crimson-level mad beasts on the edge. Good guy, I was trembling in my heart just by looking at it from a distance. Hey, after walking such a long way, this ghost Logically speaking, only stronger crazy beasts can survive, but we have only encountered a few king-level beasts so far this morning, right?"

The man with the Chinese character known as Brother Dao swallowed a mouthful of dry food, and then said: "It is precisely because something is wrong that proves what I said is not right? After walking to the end, there must be sunshine in that place!"

As soon as the word 'sun' came out, the group of people surrounding him licked their lips subconsciously, with an expression of anticipation in their eyes.

"Japan-chasing people" is a collective name for a group of people, and they are one of the Japanese-chasing people.

As the name suggests, they are chasing the sun that really exists in this wasteland world but that few people have seen.

Inquiring about news from various places, exploring various historical sites, and occasionally participating in some part-time robberies, this almost runs through the lives of all Japanese chasers.

They call themselves the last hope in the wasteland, because only by finding the sun can mankind have a real future - this is the consensus of all sun chasers.

However, a hundred years ago, an outstanding Sun Chaser led too many guys like him, and eventually even had a huge power, which finally caused the dissatisfaction of the 'mediocre people' who were stuck in the city.

Under the siege of several city-states and countries, the large team of Japanese pursuers was suddenly broken up. Until today, only scattered teams from all over the world are left fighting on their own.

Brother Dao drank another sip of water, and then said firmly: "The information I found was left by the leader of the Sun Chasers a hundred years ago. He originally wanted to organize resources and gather strength to explore this area. Finally, That made others jealous."

As he spoke, he snorted with dissatisfaction: "Those mediocre people just want to keep their own one-third of an acre of land! We humans are a species that lives under the sun. With this evil dome hanging above our heads, they can actually eat it. You can’t sleep without eating, stupid!”

As soon as he said this, the surrounding sun chasers immediately burst into cheers.

Now, who is still chasing the Japanese? Who is not the person with the strongest willpower? Including Shouhou, they just said a few words casually, but as soon as they scolded those mediocre people living under the evil dome, they immediately became united.

Brother Dao stood up and looked outside the tent. Although he couldn't distinguish anything from the sand in the sky, his eyes were still bright.

"Paradise City, Gray Sea, Holy See—the place we want to go is in the middle of these three areas, close to the southernmost Gray Sea area." He licked his tongue, "This place has no development value, and those nearby forces They all look down upon it, but they never thought that the center of this place is a place that even the evil sky cannot cover. "

Brother Dao took another deep breath, with the purest expectation in his eyes: "Don't you feel it, it's getting hotter and hotter?"

As soon as these words came out, the others were stunned and immediately reacted.

Yes, it's not just the sand, but the temperature felt on the body's surface is also getting higher and higher.

However, the closer to the edge of the Gray Sea, the lower the temperature should be.

Doesn't this mean...

Everyone's eyes gradually brightened.

Brother Dao nodded vigorously: "Yes, only when the sun shines down without any obstruction, the temperature will get higher and higher - the barren land they avoid is the real oasis."

The breaths of all the sun chasers were hot.

The motivation was full again, and after a little adjustment, they embarked on the journey to find the sun again.

However, after walking in the wind and sand for a few hours, the density of the sand had reached a terrifying level, the vision was almost completely blocked, and even moving forward began to become difficult.

What's worse, the compass brought with him suddenly began to work.

"Brother Dao, what should we do!" Shou Hou shouted loudly in the wind and sand.

Brother Dao pondered for a while, and then a trace of cruelty flashed in his eyes.

He pointed to the densest sand area in front, where a sand tornado was almost formed.

"We can only keep moving forward! And, you see, the environment has been getting worse and worse as we walked along! So! The place we are looking for must be hidden in the innermost!"

As if to respond to Brother Dao's words, the sand in the sky suddenly burst into an increasingly terrifying whistling sound, and the sand tornado was almost about to reach the sky.

The fear in the eyes of the others flashed, but excitement immediately surged up.

Sun chasers spend their whole lives for the sun, and for this, it is not a pity to die.

Brother Dao is right!

Without further words, they held hands and crashed into the sand tornado.

"Hold on tight!" Brother Dao roared, and the protective suit on one arm burst open, and then the arm expanded rapidly, and then turned into a huge shield shining with metallic luster.

The crackling sound was like countless gunshots, and the sand and soil actually made countless dense small pits on Brother Dao's shield.

Brother Dao groaned and continued to roar: "Hide behind me, everyone hold tight!"

He was obviously very strong, but he was so powerless in the face of this scene that was even far beyond ordinary natural disasters.

The huge shield could not cover the people behind him, and the sand and soil swept in from all directions, and there were cries of pain from time to time.

I don't know how long I walked, suddenly, everyone felt that the severe pain and pressure on their bodies suddenly disappeared.

Brother Dao staggered forward, and the others also stepped into the air at the same time-they didn't know when they were thrown out of the sand tornado and were falling rapidly!

"Catch it!" Shouhou shouted, his skin expanded rapidly, and he caught his companions who fell down.

The wind died down, and they finally staggered to the ground.

Dao Ge coughed hard, and then looked at the people around him: "Are we out?"

"All out..." Shouhou's voice was filled with indescribable excitement, "Dao Ge, look at that...what..."

A gap was made, and the scorching temperature fell on his skin in an unobstructed way, and even a stinging pain was brought up.

However, there was something hanging high in the sky that would never be fake.

Dao Ge stared at the thing like a demon, even though his eyes were stinging and full of tears.

"It's...the sun..."
