Let you simulate life, but you change fate every time?!-Chapter 34: The Brightest Star in the Night Sky!

"The situation in Jiang City is far from optimistic, the speed of the dark invasion has accelerated again."

Lu Yuan stood on the rooftop.

Overlooking the entire city of Jiang City.

Eight years ago.

He fled with the refugees from the Coastal City hundreds of kilometers away, all the way to Jiang City.

Back then, Jiang City was still prosperous.

Though not exactly peaceful and flourishing, it could be said that thousands of lights were shining.

At least a hundred times better than it is now.

But in just eight years' time.

Jiang City has fallen into such a state of decay and withering.

If the situation continues to deteriorate, it is bound to accelerate the outflow of simulators.

By then.

Perhaps in just one or two years, over seven million ordinary people in the Outer City will be abandoned without hesitation.

The human tragedy from eight years ago will repeat itself!

Thinking of this.

Lu Yuan couldn't help but clench his fists.

In this apocalyptic world where everyone simulates and eerie invasions occur.

Only simulators can dispel the darkness.

If the protection of the simulators is lost.

Then ordinary people can only despairingly await death in the darkness.

The Coastal City eight years ago is a cautionary tale.

However.

With Lu Yuan's strength alone, he fundamentally can't change anything.

What's more.

The ordeal of fleeing back then had already shown him the world's indifference.

He had long abandoned that saintly complex.

He would never put himself in danger for a group of irrelevant people.

At this moment.

The surrounding darkness seemed to be alive and sensed Lu Yuan's presence, surging towards him rapidly.

Lu Yuan was about to unleash his energy and disperse the darkness.

But suddenly had a quick thought.

And instead activated the Scripture of Celestial Purgatory.

In an instant.

Hundreds of spirit patterns were lit up.

These spirit patterns branded in Lu Yuan's limbs and bones almost covered every part of his body.

A dazzlingly bright light burst forth from his body.

Instantly illuminating a hundred-meter radius!

At this moment.

Lu Yuan became the brightest star in the night sky!

What does a hundred-meter radius mean?

An area equivalent to ten thousand square meters, or one hectare, fifteen acres!

In conversion.

Equivalent to a hundred rooms, each one hundred square meters.

Even bigger than a standard football field!

This result.

Even startled Lu Yuan himself.

Moreover.

The darkness that was originally rushing at Lu Yuan like a hungry wolf.

Once it touched the light emitted by Lu Yuan, it was as if it had encountered a natural enemy.

Letting out ear-piercing shrieks of "squeak squeak", desperately retreating in all directions.

But the next second.

The Scripture of Celestial Divine Prison automatically activated, emitting an irresistible terrifying suction.

Under this suction.

The darkness in a hundred-meter radius formed an energy tide, converging towards Lu Yuan.

At this moment, Lu Yuan's whole person was like a bottomless black hole, devouring all the darkness!

Thirty seconds later.

Lu Yuan, radiant with energy, let out a satisfied burp.

"The Scripture of Celestial Divine Prison truly lives up to being the First Technique of the Ten Thousand Worlds, it can even absorb dark energy."

"But this dark energy actively hunts and flees, isn't that too intelligent?"

Lu Yuan looked at the fleeing darkness, with a hint of surprise in his heart.

Especially when he thought of the piercing shrieks he heard earlier.

This made him even more suspicious that this dark energy might have some kind of autonomous consciousness.

On the other side.

When Lu Yuan absorbed the darkness within a hundred-meter radius.

The nearby simulators immediately sensed the anomaly and looked towards his direction.

Every nightfall.

The simulators have to unleash their energy to dispel the darkness for ordinary people.

But the simulators stationed nearby were shocked to find.

Why is today's dark energy so much weaker than usual?

Outer City, Sixth District.

On the pitch-black street.

Two simulators in Public Security Bureau uniforms stood under a street lamp, smoking with worried expressions.

"Captain Li, if we calculate the time, the new recruits should be reporting in these few days, right?"

"Since I graduated last year and was assigned here, I've been stuck in this godforsaken place for a whole year without a single day of rest!"

The crew-cut young man's eyes were bloodshot, grumbling discontentedly.

Although he spoke with a world-weary tone.

If you looked closely.

His face appeared quite young, probably only around twenty years old.

In this apocalyptic world where the Ten Thousand Races invade and weirdness abounds.

The Empire promises to protect ordinary people until they reach adulthood.

But as the price.

Everyone, after becoming a simulator, has the responsibility to dispel darkness and resist evil spirits.

Therefore.

Every year after the simulation exams.

A large number of newcomers are assigned to various districts.

This undoubtedly greatly eases the pressure on the Public Security Bureau.

But as the situation in Jiang City worsens.

Any newcomers with some connections or networking would either be directly transferred to the Inner City or assigned to the safe areas of the city center.

Only these unfortunate ones without backgrounds continue to struggle bitterly in the Outer City.

"Why are you in such a hurry? The Public Security Bureau is short-handed, and I haven't had a break in years."

Captain Li sighed.

These years, as simulators continue to leave in large numbers.

Life in the Outer City becomes increasingly difficult.

And under him, he only has a few people, barely enough to guard this small district.

"Captain, when will our subsidies arrive?"

"Those people in the Inner City are living lavishly, partying every day, they could at least leave us some crumbs."

The crew-cut youth complained again.

When simulators unleash their energy, they also consume a lot of spiritual power.

Lighting themselves up to illuminate others.

Isn't this being like a human-shaped light bulb?

If it weren't for the subsidies, who would be so selfless?

"You brat, why are you complaining about standing guard? The Empire won't short you on those stipends, will it?"

Captain Li glared, scolding him angrily.

"You should be thankful you were assigned to the Sixth District, not the Black Dragon Stronghold."

"The Black Dragon Stronghold? That godforsaken place isn't fit for human habitation!"

The crew-cut youth shuddered, losing any desire to complain.

But after a while, he curiously asked again.

"Captain, I heard from Captain Zhang and the others that with your experience, you should have been able to transfer to the Inner City a long time ago, so why are you still here?"

"My son is about to graduate, planning to leave this spot for him."

Captain Li answered, smoking, without lifting his head.

Actually, there was another reason he didn't mention.

In recent years.

The seniors in the Public Security Bureau have been finding ways to transfer, and there are fewer and fewer newcomers.

If even he, the captain, leaves.

What will happen to the ordinary people in the Sixth District?

"Alright, stop complaining, work hard for a few years and maybe you can also transfer to the Inner City."

"Be diligent when working, I'm going to check other streets."

Captain Li stubbed out his cigarette and prepared to patrol other streets.

But at this moment.

On the rooftop less than five hundred meters away.

A sudden burst of bright light erupted, making the surroundings as bright as day.

Like someone threw a flare, glaringly bright in the darkness.

The two quickly turned their heads, instinctively closing their eyes.

Although they were both simulators, with physical qualities far superior to ordinary people.

But years of night shifts had accustomed them to the darkness, making their eyes more sensitive to light changes.

Even though they closed their eyes, tears still flowed uncontrollably from the corners.

After a brief period of blindness.

The two finally regained a bit of their vision.

"Captain, what just happened? My eyes are practically blinded!"

The crew-cut youth covered his eyes, tears streaming down.

"After nightfall, only a simulator's fire of life can pierce through the darkness."

"Such a dazzling light, could it be that a Morning Star level expert passed by?"

Captain Li mused in confusion.

But when he looked up again.

The intense light had already vanished into the night.
