Chapter 293 The Unchanging Goal

Lu Mo accompanied Xichen to find the city lord and asked about Xichen's mother.What Lu Mo and Xichen didn't expect was that although the matter was roughly the same as Lu Mo's speculation, it was actually a completely different version.It turned out that the assassination of the Wu family assassins against the Patriarch of the Bai family was actually the Bai family's attempt to take the opportunity to counter the Wu family sisters.The former head of the Bai family who was assassinated to death actually died at the hands of the city lord.

In order to cover the city lord and Xichen's mother from leaving, the city lord's beloved was killed at the banquet of the Zhou family. Although the city lord killed the former head of the Bai family, although he was not executed in the end, he was sent to sin city together with Xichen's mother. .Although the city lord didn't mention it, Lu Mo already thought that the Zhou family played a very important role, not only because the Zhou family saved their lives, but also because of the Zhou family's guilty attitude towards the city lord. There is still something hidden in it.

The diametrically opposed attitudes of the Zhou family made Lu Mo most curious.When Lu Mo fled back to the Pure Land, he had close contact with the Zhou family.The attitude of the current Patriarch of the Zhou family is completely different from the Zhou family that the city lord just described.Although the city lord did not clearly explain the reason, Lu Mo was very clear that the relationship between the current Patriarch of the Zhou family and the city lord must be very close.

"Actually, I don't regret being sent to Sin City at all. The person I love has already left me. There are really not many things I can and want to do..."

Before Lu Mo had time to think about it, the city lord was silent for a while, and then opened the chatterbox again.The city lord talked about what happened after he and Xichen's mother were dispatched to Sin City, Lu Mo immediately pricked up his ears to listen carefully to what the city lord said. This was one of the few rare opportunities.

The assassination of the former Patriarch of the Bai family ended with the successful assassination by the Wu family assassin, and everyone worked together to kill the assassin on a mission.When the city lord described how he and Xichen's mother treated him and Xichen's mother afterwards, what he said was very cryptic, and Lu Mo noticed this keenly.When the city lord was dispatched to Sin City, he was already a level 6 ability user, and had even broken through to a super ability user, but he hadn't yet verified his status in the assessment.

Among the prisoners assigned to Sin City from Pure Land, those whose ability level reaches or exceeds level 6 can directly enter the Sword and Shield Corps.Even if you don't want to have anything to do with the Sword and Shield Corps nicknamed "Pure Land Corps", the city lord can join the Ranger Corps. After all, even if the level 6 ability is solidified, with the system of the corps in the era of the city lord, the city lord There is bound to be a great deal.

However, the choice of the city lord is hard to understand. The city lord chose to wash away his own abilities, and entered the door-breaker corps with the highest death rate as a complete sinner.You must know that among the supernatural beings in the Pure Land, many of them could not reach the supernatural power level of the city lord in their entire lives, and the city lord resolutely washed away his own supernatural powers regardless of the high danger of high-level supernatural beings washing away their supernatural powers. ability.

Xichen's mother, Wu Linglong, after the death of her sister Wu Lingyu, experienced the emptiness after revenge, and because of this, she also experienced the pain of losing a loved one.So when the city lord washed away his abilities regardless of life and death, Wu Linglong resolutely embarked on the same path.Following in the footsteps of the city lord, she washed away her abilities, desperately used the advanced liquid, and then began to work hard in the doorbreaker corps.

"Xichen, your mother is a person with great perseverance. She knows why I gave up my abilities, but she never said a word... Originally, I promised Lingyu to take care of your mother, but in the end She is the one who has been helping me..."

The words of the city lord were full of regret and admiration. Thinking about the younger sister of the beloved, the city lord still felt regretful that he still failed to fulfill his responsibilities for the beloved.Lu Mo discovered something unusual from the city lord's unintentional words.Lu Mo had a conversation with the city lord before, about the real purpose that the city lord had been hiding all along. Lu Mo suddenly found that the goal of the city lord had never changed.

"That's how your mother and I went from being a rookie in the Corps to gradually becoming an old man in the team, and finally each became the captain of a team..."

The city lord told Xichen about the past, and the city lord focused on the experience of Xichen's mother.Xichen's mother, Wu Linglong, after arriving in Sin City, not only gave up her supernatural powers, but also gave up her name just like the city lord.Both of them went by their code names at the time.After the casualties of the people assigned to Sin City during the same period were almost the same, no one knew their identities anymore.

"Your mother has always been very clear about what I want to do. Instead of blocking me, she has been helping me... It wasn't until your father appeared that your mother understood why Lingyu persuaded her not to be too obsessed with revenge. "

"My father? Uncle, you know my father, can you tell me more, I... I don't even remember him..."

"Well, okay, Xichen, your father is a very good person. Although he comes and goes like a fan, he really loves your mother..."

The topic of the city lord and Xichen quickly shifted to Xichen's father. Judging from the description of the city lord Duo Xichen's father, the city lord and Xichen's father obviously have a very good relationship.The owner of the city starts from how Xichen's parents met, until Xichen's father suddenly leaves mysteriously one day, and Xichen's mother also lost her trace after leaving Sin City in order to find her father's whereabouts.

Regarding Xichen's father, the city lord knew more about his personality and his responsibilities as a husband and father.The city lord didn't even know that the man he considered his best friend was actually a pure-blooded Phantom Dragon Clan.It seems that in order to truly understand Xichen's father, more hopes should be pinned on the other side of the boundary gate.But for Xichen who has no memory of her father at all, even what the city lord told her is enough to make Xichen feel what kind of person her father is.

"Xichen, I think you already know about your parents and your mother. Even if there is something else you want to know, I think you can find someone to help you investigate. It's just your father... "

When the city lord talked about Xichen's parents, especially about Xichen's mother, he cast his eyes directly on Lu Mo, implying that Xichen could ask Lu Mo for help.Speaking of Xichen's father, the city lord sighed and shook his head. Xichen's father was indeed, as the city lord said, a man who came and went like a fan. Even the city lord dared not say that he knew a lot about Xichen's father.

"The city lord is thinking of me now. I think since he asked me to listen to it for a long time, he probably didn't intend to let me listen to it for nothing, right?"

"Hmph, you're so exciting, then do you know why I asked you to listen with me?"

"I think it should be related to the goal of the city lord all along. After all, the big goal of the city lord has never changed."

When Lu Mo saw the city lord looking at him, he knew that his business was coming soon.As an irrelevant person, Lu Mo helped Xichen understand a lot of things, but he was not qualified to know these secrets.Even if Xichen doesn't care about these things, the city lord will naturally not let Lu Mo go. After all, the city lord admitted from the beginning, and the city lord is Zhou Ming.

"Oh, it seems that you seem to have guessed something, so are you interested in participating?"

"It seems that the chessboard has become bigger. The city lord doesn't have enough chess pieces. He wants to recruit even a tricky guy like me. But I really want to know one thing. Does the city lord want to occupy the chessboard alone, or does he want to How about destroying the opponent's chess player?"

"Both, or rather, neither."

Lu Mo did not expect that the city lord would take the initiative to solicit him, but the answer he gave confirmed Lu Mo's guess.The grand goal of the city lord is not to dominate the sin city, let alone compete with the gods, but to completely destroy everything.Using the chess game as an analogy, the city lord is not targeting the chess game or the chess players, but intends to completely destroy the chess board.

Lu Mo remembered a very good analogy from the Supreme Master. The Supreme Master once said that he himself, like Lu Mo, is a pawn who does things for others and is manipulated by others.If Lu Mo and others are chess pieces, then the city lord and the gods are undoubtedly chess players.But now, the city lord, who is a chess player, actually wants to destroy the chessboard.What is even more frightening is that the goal of the city lord has never changed.

Lu Mo suddenly understood that since the city lord was dispatched to Sin City, he gave up his name and all his abilities in order to completely draw a line with the Pure Land.From the various actions of the city lord, Lu Mo suddenly felt two words very clearly, revenge.Who is the city lord planning to take revenge on?Why learn such an extreme way?Or is the city lord hiding some other purpose.

"I'm sorry, I have already promised Xichen to help her investigate her life experience. I'm afraid I don't have the honor of serving the city lord."

Lu Mo resolutely rejected the solicitation of the city lord. Now Lu Mo still understands the purpose of the city lord. He wants to completely destroy the pure land. For this reason, the city lord may even go to Sin City.Anything that stands in the way of the city lord, Lu Mo believes that the city lord will spare no effort to kick it away.But to Lu Mo, there is absolutely no need or benefit for Lu Mo to destroy the Pure Land.

"That's it...it's a pity, then, Xichen, can I ask for your help?"

"Ah... Me? How can I help you? Uncle, I don't understand what you are saying."

"It's okay, this matter is not urgent. Since Lu Mo is willing to help you investigate your life experience, then you can solve this matter first. When I need your help, I hope you will never refuse me."

Lu Mo's clear refusal did not surprise the city lord. The city lord turned to Xichen for help. Although Xichen didn't understand what the city lord needed her to help, she nodded without hesitation, and the city lord smiled gratifiedly. After laughing, he formally assigned Lu Mo to assist Xichen, and tried every means to help Xichen find out her background.
