"4077, I want to take Ran Bing with me to live on the surface. Can you help me?"
Lin Yuan smiled and offered his help.
“Captain Mark, you made the right choice. The lighthouse is not the future of mankind. True hope will rise from the ground. I owe you a favor, and it’s time to pay it back.”
Looking at Lin Yuan's hand, Mark suddenly remembered what Instructor Elon had said.
"4077 is a very good little guy. He might be able to lend you a hand if necessary."
I never expected that even though the instructors have gone far away, they are still giving me lessons.
Mark was filled with mixed emotions.
Their hands clasped together.
"This is the Captain Mark I know."
Lin Yuan smiled and helped Mark up.
The two men, who had just been fighting, exchanged a glance and left the maintenance depot at the same time.
"Wait a minute? What are you going to do?"
Erica was at a loss as she watched the two figures disappear from sight.
Lin Yuan turned around with a smile, "Go and smash the Dawn Hall!"
Erica was deeply shocked and, supporting Penny, cried out, "Wait for me! I want to go too!"
After several people left.
After a while, an elderly woman wearing a hood walked in.
Where is Captain Mark?
Looking at the empty field, the old woman 1225 collapsed to the ground, sinking into despair.
Before the three laws were promulgated, she and Shangmin Luke were husband and wife.
The elderly woman, 1225, wanted to donate her heart to her dying husband, but unfortunately, this was not permitted by the Lighthouse Law.
She heard that Captain Mark could help her, which is why she resolutely came to the Upper District.
However, Captain Mark wasn't there at all.
The old woman's face was ashen.
Is her husband really going to die like this?
.........
On the other hand, although Lin Yuan had anticipated the old woman's situation, he did not intend to get involved.
In the previous life's storyline, if a heart transplant were performed to save someone as she requested, it would only cause her husband to harbor resentment and even seek revenge to the death, making the rescue pointless.
We arrived at the Dawn Hall.
Two priests blocked Lin Yuan and Mark at the door.
"Captain Mark, trespassing into the Hall of Dawn is......"
The priest who was speaking had his head slammed against the wall by Lin Yuan.
I'm too lazy to talk to this guy; he wouldn't understand anyway.
"A serious crime..."
Another priest added what he hadn't finished saying, looking up at Mark, who was like a mountain, and couldn't help but swallow hard.
Then it was slapped against the wall.
The two charged in, and all the priests who tried to stop them were knocked down and lay sprawled on the ground.
Finally, Sharif, the Lightbringer who wielded a double-bladed giant axe and was over two meters tall, blocked their path.
Wearing powered armor, every step he took carried a heavy sense of oppression.
Mark took off his clothes and rushed at him to fight without saying a word.
As a result, after only a few rounds, his strength and defense were completely overwhelmed.
Sharif grabbed Mark's wrist, which was holding the gun, and kicked him so hard he was dizzy and disoriented.
Then, taking the opportunity, he stepped forward and punched Mark in the face again.
Mark was immediately startled.
If someone were to get punched in that position, what would happen?
Just at this time.
Lin Yuan suddenly made a move, catching Sharif's fist firmly, and winked at Mark.
"I'll stay here, you go in first."
Mark stared at Lin Yuan in shock.
The fact that he could withstand the power armor meant that Lin Yuan's strength was extremely terrifying, even far exceeding his own.
But Lin Yuan had never shown this in previous battles.
Even when sparring with himself, he only controls his strength to be slightly weaker than his own.
Mark's expression turned complicated: "I never expected you to hold back when you fought me. You were really hiding your true intentions."
Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Next time we spar, I'll go all out against you."
"...Let's talk about it later."
Mark felt a chill run down his spine and turned to run towards the passageway.
Sharif picked up his long-handled giant axe, intending to stop Mark, but Lin Yuan blocked his way.
"You still want to pursue me? Are you treating me like I don't exist?"
Shalif looked somewhat serious and swung his axe, but Lin Yuan easily dodged it.
boom! boom! boom!
The giant axe slammed into the ground repeatedly, producing a deafening roar.
Lin Yuan seized the opportunity, sprinted with all his might, and kicked Shalif in the body.
Salif was terrified, letting out a muffled groan and staggering backward.
The long-handled giant axe flew out of his hand.
Lin Yuan wielded a long-handled giant axe and slammed it down hard on Shalif.
A rough scream rang out.
Large amounts of steam gushed out from the power armor.
Lin Yuan turned around and swung his axe again, completely destroying the power armor.
Sharif flew backwards and crashed to the ground, unconscious.
Lin Yuan glanced at the long-handled giant axe in his hand, casually threw it away, and sat on Shalif.
It seems my strength still needs to be improved; this thing is a bit heavy to use.
"4077, how dare you show such contempt for the law!"
The Lightbringer Vatican arrived and, upon seeing Sharif beneath Lin Yuan, was both shocked and furious.
At the same time, a group of city defense soldiers, led by the city defense captain Sengge, surrounded Lin Yuan.
He was accompanied by two gravity bodies.
Gun barrels were pointed at Lin Yuan, as if any unusual movement would turn him into a sieve.
The Lightbringer Vatican gripped his whip tightly, clenching his teeth.
"You injured a priest and disrupted a breeding mission. According to the laws of the Lighthouse, you should be shot dead on the spot!"
Oh? Does that mean I'm going to tear apart a gravity body with my bare hands today?
Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly and activated his Sharingan.
At his current speed, even if all the city's defense troops opened fire at once, they might not be able to hit him.
Mark arrived with Ran Bing, standing in front of Lin Yuan, and said in a deep voice to the city guards:
"I want to see the city lord!"
Chapter 21 Scares Away the City Defense Forces
"This is utter nonsense!"
Lord Morgan slammed his hand on the table, then suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart and began to cough incessantly, clutching his chest.
A barely perceptible smile flickered across Charles's lips as he feigned concern, gently patted Lord Morgan's back, and handed him a vial of potion.
"The Light and Shadow Society has minimized the impact. Your health is paramount. Mark's identity is special, so we..."
"Bring Mark here with me, now, immediately!"
Lord Morgan took the potion and drank it, which calmed him down considerably.
"There's also 4077. He's of great significance to the lighthouse. For now, just let the city defense forces keep an eye on him. Don't make any rash moves or use any violence against him."
The old city lord felt immense dread when he recalled the white-haired woman from before.
He didn't understand these people with special abilities, and he had no idea how to deal with them.
When the first city lord tried to take away the Abyss Hunter, the white-haired woman killed all the hunters of the Lighthouse with just one person and one sword.
This matter was beyond everyone's expectations at the time.
If 4077 were pushed to the limit, it's not impossible for it to do this.
Seeing his father's expression, a hint of surprise flashed in Charles's eyes.
This 4077 is clearly just a commoner, so why does his father value him so much...?
He nodded and said, "I understand, Father."
"However, many citizens already know that Mark led the way in trespassing into the Hall of Dawn. Perhaps we should convene a court meeting to give Mark a chance to defend himself publicly and to provide an explanation to the people..."
Charles walked out of the hall and said to the Lightbringer, Brahman, who was standing to the side:
"I need to retrieve the detailed information for 4077."
He always thought Lin Yuan was just an ordinary person, at most somewhat outstanding.
But this time, when Lin Yuan broke into the Hall of Dawn, he injured the Law Priest and even Saliph, who was equipped with power armor.
This forced Charles to take it seriously.
He Guangzhe Fanlu nodded.
Soon, an electronic file appeared on the terminal screen.
Charles became increasingly alarmed as he looked at it.
"That old bastard, ever since he asked me to step down from the Light and Shadow Society, he hasn't been willing to tell me anything!"
Mastering effective methods to kill Devouring Beasts, possessing an extremely fast learning speed, and having strength stats exceeding those of powered armor...
There is a record of a single person killing more than a dozen Devouring Beasts in the spaceship wreckage!
These aren't just ordinary people; they're not even human!
No wonder the old man cares about him so much.
Deciphering any one of these mysteries would be of great significance to the lighthouse!
But everything the Light and Shadow Society had done before was pushing 4077 toward Mark...
Charles rubbed his temples, feeling somewhat helpless and regretful, and muttered to himself:
"Lord of Light and Shadow, I am clearly your most devout follower."
"Why let Mark succeed as the city lord and put someone like 4077 by his side?"
