Chapter 24: All This Is a Scam
"What's your name?"

Lin Yan's heart moved

The talent of clone is still very useful to him.

"Liu Ruyan."

The girl answered immediately.

"Well... let's go out first and talk about it later."

Lin Yan nodded.

"Pong!"

After he cleared the obstacles, he rescued several girls.

"Click..."

As soon as I rushed out of the Sandworm Gang's courtyard, I saw a burnt and disheveled figure crawling out of the fire.

"Detective Ma?"

Lin Yan looked at Detective Ma, who only had one ear left, and glanced at Liu Ruyan: "Kill him."

Liu Ruyan swallowed.

The common people have been taught since childhood to obey and respect the law and not to do evil.

Their self-discipline in morality is far higher than that of the upper class.

Asking her to kill someone suddenly still has some impact.

But soon, her eyes became firm.

The experiences of the past two days made her see clearly the true nature of Lighthouse City and the lies she had been living in for the past eighteen years.

She had already completely despaired.

He even secretly swore that as long as he could get out of this devil's den, he would make those high and mighty people taste the pain of revenge!

Now is the opportunity...

She bit her lower lip and her eyes became more determined.

Then, a clone appeared beside her body, picked up a large stone from the ground, and staggered towards Detective Ma.

There was a flash of admiration in Lin Yan's eyes.

Calm, obedient, decisive and cautious.

The qualities displayed by this girl make her suitable to be his subordinate.

"Pong!"

Liu Ruyan raised the stone in her hand and smashed it hard on Detective Ma's head.

"Damn Dustman! What do you want to do!?"

Detective Ma rolled over to avoid it, struggled to stand up, and pounced on the girl with bloodshot eyes.

"Pong!"

Lin Yan shot Detective Ma in the head.

Liu Ruyan was brought to the Sandworm Gang just after she awakened. It’s lucky that she still has the strength to stand now.

Even though Detective Ma did not have a talent for fighting, he was already at level three after all. He did not expect Liu Ruyan to be able to really kill him.

It is to test her courage and determination for revenge.

"I like the look in your eyes. Keep that anger."

Lin Yan's bloody face looked even more majestic under the light of the fire:

"This fire will burn Lighthouse City to ashes."

Liu Ruyan's eyes trembled.

She was shocked by Lin Yan's ambition.

"I, what should we do?"

The other girls were trembling.

"I don't have the ability to bring so many of you with me. You're too big a target."

Lin Yan said calmly: "It is your blessing to be able to escape. Next, find a way to survive."

Some girls broke down and cried, some had dull eyes, and some were in despair...

Lin Yan didn't care what they were going to do next.

But now all the attention of the Lighthouse Council is on him, and if these girls don't follow him, their chances of survival will be greater.

"Where shall we go next?"

Liu Ruyan didn't say much, just asked.

"Go back to the city."

Lin Yan said in a deep voice: "There are still important things to do."

"Um……"

Liu Ruyan nodded.

The two men walked towards the upper city, with flames rising into the sky behind them burning the base of the Sandworm Gang.

The sins buried here were burned in the ashes.

The dark night sky in the downtown area has never been as bright as it is tonight... "Click..."

In the dilapidated house of the Dust Citizens closer to the Sandworm Gang, the Dust Citizens who were awakened secretly opened the window a little and watched this scene.

"The Sandworm Gang... is on fire..."

"Retribution! Retribution..."

They talked in low voices, not daring to shout for fear that it was a dream, and just silently appreciated the scene.

"What a fire! God has opened his eyes!"

"Burn these insects to death! Baoer... did you see that? The beasts that killed you are getting their retribution..."

"..."

"Tell me, if the Sandworm Gang really no longer exists, will our lives be better?"

"It's hard to say..."

What followed was a long silence.

Uptown.

Lin Yan and Liu Ruyan, wearing optical invisibility cloaks, walked on the streets in the early morning.

At this time, there were only a few soldiers patrolling the streets under curfew.

Suddenly, sirens sounded.

A large number of fire department, police station members and city guards brushed past Lin Yan and Liu Ruyan's shoulders and ran towards the downtown area.

Lin Yan raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth and looked at the guards who passed by him with mockery.

The people who were woken up opened the windows and cursed in dissatisfaction.

But when he saw the grand appearance of almost all the police station and city guards, he immediately suppressed his anger.

"What happened? Such a loud noise?"

"Something serious happened?"

"Who knows! I was already nervous because of the wanted criminal Lin Yan a few days ago, and today he did this again. I can't sleep anymore..."

“They ruined my beauty sleep!”

The people were talking about it, and the atmosphere seemed more tense than the previous two days.

"So... this is what Upper City looks like..."

Confusion and tears flashed in Liu Ruyan's eyes.

Even in the early morning, there are street lights, wide roads and bright, solid buildings...

Is this really the end of the world!?
“We’ve been living in a scam.”

Lin Yan reminded lightly.

Liu Ruyan shook her head and wiped away the tears in her eyes: "I..."

“I know this is hard to accept, and it may even make you want to roar in anger and burst into tears.

But you only have five hours to process this.”

Lin Yan stopped at the entrance of a hotel and turned to look at Liu Ruyan: "Whether they deceived us or not...

At least for the Dustmen, this is undoubtedly the end of the world."

"Um……"

Liu Ruyan's eyes became firm, and she gritted her teeth, "As long as I can get revenge on the Lighthouse, I will not back down no matter what the cost!
Even if... it's my life!"

"Don't worry, you won't die that easily."

Lin Yan patted her shoulder and took her into the hotel.

I went to the hotel kitchen to get some food and then found a room at random.

"Eat something and regain your strength."

Lin Yan ate bread and drank some milk.

Liu Ruyan had already controlled her emotions, but when she put the bread and ham sandwich in her mouth, she could no longer hold it back.

As daily food for the common people, milk and bread are not scarce resources for the Lighthouse.

But the people of the dust have been forced to eat rat soup and cockroach pieces since they were young...

“Why on earth is this happening… ah!?”

Liu Ruyan's tears fell like strings. She chewed the food in her mouth fiercely, and her chest ached.

Lin Yan glanced at her.

"Only the Lighthouse Archon can answer your question."

He did not blame Liu Ruyan.

No education from Blue Star.

It is indeed difficult for a native of the world to quickly accept such drastic changes and the deception that runs through life.

"Go to sleep when you've cried enough and keep your spirits up.

I don't want to watch her die just after recruiting her."

Lin Yan closed his eyes, and fell asleep with his clothes on, as Liu Ruyan's sobs gradually subsided...
