Chapter 153 Ten Commandments for Strangers (4,000 words)
"Is this what you get after inheriting the status of the old president?"
For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the thing in Xiao Xiao's hand.
To outsiders, it seems that they have no idea what just happened.
It just felt like they had just put their palms on Xiao Xiao, silently expressing their inner will. The next moment, they seemed to have a subtle sense of trance, as if they were among the flickering incandescent lights. Immediately, they fell from the trance.
They woke up with a start, and a gentle force appeared in Xiao Xiao's body, suddenly flicking their palms away, and everything was over.
The overall interval was only half a second, but when he looked again, he found that the scroll and key had already appeared in Xiao Xiao's hand.
It's like magic, I don't know how it happened.
But I still felt concerned all of a sudden, and looking at those two things, I felt a little excited.
"Have you never seen these things before?"
Xiao Xiao was also slightly distracted, wondering what he was thinking, and turned to look at them.
"No."
The Orochi sisters and others immediately shook their heads: "When we woke up, the old president of Black Gate City was guiding us. Afterwards, there was always one and only him as the president of Black Gate City, and no one had ever experienced the succession of the president.
About the contract..."
"I see."
Xiao Xiao suddenly felt enlightened and immediately gave up the idea of asking them what had just happened.
After pondering for a moment, he just placed the scroll on the coffee table next to him, slowly unfolded it, and said in a low voice:
"I think the ceremony went well. I am indeed the president of Black Gate City now."
"..."
As the scroll in his hand opened, he saw line after line written on it, which was similar to the terms of a contract.
After everyone turned their attention to the contract, they all looked a little confused:
"Ten Commandments for Strangers?"
"..."
While their expressions were slightly condensed, Xiao Xiao's eyes had also glanced at the words above, and he frowned slightly.
He saw what was written on the scroll:
[The first commandment of a stranger: Abandon weakness and learn to play the strong one]
[The second commandment of a stranger: Enjoy the false and experience the true feelings]
[The third commandment of a stranger: fear the city and believe in your own heart]
[The Fourth Commandment of the Stranger: Feel the pain and gain insight into the mysterious source]
[The Fifth Commandment of Strangers: Cherish your own kind and always keep secrets]
【……】
【……】
"Is this what Yang Jia said to me before?"
When Xiao Xiao saw these crooked words that seemed to have some mysterious flavor, his heart moved slightly, especially the first sentence, which suddenly reminded him of Yang Jia when he just learned the truth about this world.
The first commandment of a stranger that she told herself: "Don't make yourself look weak." So, what she told herself actually came from this?
In addition, Yang Jia's relationship with the aborigines, especially her mother, seems to be related to the Ten Commandments.
Enjoy a fake life and experience real emotions?
She even warned herself not to trust others too much. Is this the fifth of the Ten Commandments of a Stranger?
What is this, the survival rule for strangers?
While he was thinking, he turned his gaze to Yang Jia next to him with a questioning look in his eyes.
However, Yang Jia's expression at this time seemed a bit cold, but as an observer, he could feel the vague touch and softness under the cold and hard shell exposed by his subconscious, and even, deep in his eyes, there was a hint of softness.
I felt some nostalgia and pain.
"These are things that the old president has always taught us and asked us to abide by."
Yang Jia noticed Xiao Xiao's gaze, fell silent for a moment, hid her soft emotions, and said softly: "These things can help us learn to get along with this city, so that our lives will not lose focus. Every
Everyone who woke up in Black Gate City has learned these ten rules, and even abided by them for a while... It seems that you have indeed gained the approval of the old president."
"I'm afraid it's not just getting..."
Xiao Xiao thought to himself, turned his gaze to the scroll again, and whispered: "But what if..."
"...He has always abided by these, why was the content behind it blacked out?"
"..."
This is what he is curious about.
The first five of the Ten Commandments of Strangers are very clear, and they look as if they had just been written down.
Once you take a look at it, it will catch your eye and be unforgettable.
But starting from the sixth article, there were large areas of blood stains, as well as some incomprehensible weird effects. Those clear handwritings had been smeared, or the handwriting seemed to be out of control, becoming crooked and impossible to read carefully.
Identify it.
Especially Article 10, it seems to have been daubed many times.
As a clairvoyant, Xiao Xiao has the ability to identify handwriting in chaos, but he is unable to see the content clearly.
But inexplicably, he felt something strange in his heart.
Subconsciously, he released the Eye of Insight, and then the three eyes overlapped slightly.
In his eyes, the continuously smeared handwriting presented an illusory scene of retreating, jumping, and then reorganizing. After changing for an unknown number of times, a clear line of handwriting suddenly jumped into his field of vision.
in, fleeting:
[The Tenth Commandment of Strangers: There must be an end, and we can all escape]
【……】
Xiao Xiao's heart suddenly trembled: "Isn't this what Yang Jia has been adhering to?"
Even Yang Jia returned to Black Gate City because she believed deeply in this theorem and was deeply grateful to the old president for bringing hope to everyone. Therefore, she did not want to see the influence of the old president in Black Gate City.
was wiped out, so he spared no effort to clean up this mess in Black Gate City, but why was the old president's contract altered like this, as if it was done deliberately?
"I don't know either……"
While Xiao Xiao was pondering and even used the Eye of Insight to read the content of the tenth commandment, Yang Jia was frowning slightly: "We have never seen this kind of scroll before. In fact, the so-called Ten Commandments of Strangers have no meaning at all.
It is the wisdom contract that the old president summed up and taught us. It is neither a contract nor an explicit clause. There is no need to write it down on such a piece of paper..."
"Even if you inherit the old president's contract for the will of the city, why is this scroll also included?"
"..."
"Yes, Yang Jia doesn't know what the process of inheriting the old president's contract is..."
Xiao Xiao suddenly understood in his heart.
Only I saw the process of inheriting this contract, maybe Mr. Ye also saw part of it.
So to outsiders, I just communicated with the will of the city, got its permission, was promoted to the lord-level contract of Black Gate City, and inherited the legacy of the old president. But for the old president... in their eyes
Here, the old president has died long ago, clearly dead. Of course, it is impossible for him to see the old president or even communicate with this dead person...
But in fact, Xiao Xiao remembered it clearly.
I just saw an old president who was still alive despite pain and despair.
Although the old man was in a strange state, in his own perception:
He is alive!
And in a state of severe despair and pain!
Therefore, I cannot help but pay attention to the altered contract, and I cannot help but wonder whether it means anything.
…
…
Xiao Xiao slowly let out a breath in his heart and calmed down his mood.
As a keen observer, he was vaguely aware that things might not be that simple.
But nowadays there are many people talking, but I can't ask in front of so many people. I just glanced at Yang Jia silently and nodded slightly.
This matter needs to be discussed with Yang Jia afterwards, or even asked by Mr. Ye.
On the surface, he no longer mentioned it, but looked at another thing curiously and whispered: "What is this?"
Without his reminding, countless people around had already looked at the key.
Some people even looked at the key with extremely nervous expressions, and moved forward as if their hands and feet were not in control.
It's just that Xiao Xiao is by his side.
In other words, Yang Jia was standing next to Xiao Xiao, so she didn't dare to touch him.
"The old president's key..."
When Xiao Xiao asked, the red-eyed Ling Ping couldn't help but get excited and whispered: "Before his death, the old president had been living in a small building in Xiacheng District, and he had even transformed that small building with some strengthening elements.
Later, some of his inheritance and the mysterious safe were also placed in this small building. However, after his death, this small building disappeared inexplicably..."
"When the hell organization returned empty-handed, they didn't take this into consideration."
"Sometimes we even have to suspect that the old president may have had a premonition of something in advance, so he made preparations in advance to hide the small building with the help of the city's will once he died. No matter how strong the hell organization is,
They can't fight against a city, so they can only leave in anger, but now...you have got the key to the old president's house, right..."
"...can we finally rediscover that small building and enter it?"
"..."
Listening to these words, no matter whether they were greedy or not, everyone's pupils could not help but tremble slightly and their Adam's apple rolled.
I knew in my heart that this key represented the legacy of the old president.
Especially, there is a safe among the inheritance.
In the safe, there is something that is enough to shock even the stranger community.
S-level special items.
And, another function of this special item:
Lead the way!
…
…
"It's really interesting. It's clear that the entire Black Gate City has been harmed by this thing, but in the end it's still so tempting."
"Obviously, they had even made up their mind to make this thing disappear before. Now that they see the hope of its appearance, these people can't control the greed in their hearts... They are obviously smart people, why?
Are you so stupid sometimes?"
Xiao Xiao could see the micro-expressions and movements of everyone around him.
But he pretended not to see any of them. He just picked up two keys in his hand and suddenly handed them to Yang Jia:
"Hey, here you go."
"..."
Yang Jiadu was suddenly startled, and his facial expression management almost failed, and he said in surprise: "Give it to me?"
"yes."
Xiao Xiao said: "I even took the seat of the president of Black Gate City for you, so naturally I have to give it to you."
"How you handle it is all your business."
"..."
"Damn it, this guy is really good at it..."'
Not to mention Yang Jia, the red-eyed Ling Ping and others almost collapsed. They all looked at Xiao Xiao with disbelief. It almost took all their strength to control themselves not to reach out and grab the key... It belonged to the old president.
Inheritance, it even represents the first control over the thing in the safe. Didn't we do this before just to prevent Yang Jia from getting this thing and leaving?
You actually handed it to Yang Jia directly?
"This guy is so good at it..."
The Orochi sisters next to them had a strange look in their eyes: "Did he learn any skills in the bar?"
"hiss……"
Ruanruan, who was following him, was also very excited: "Are the classmates so close to each other?"
"I really shouldn't have beaten the principal and dropped out of school..."
"..."
On the other hand, Xiaosi, who was standing behind the crowd and looking into the crowd with his toes on tiptoe, was also a little stunned and murmured to himself:
"A sinister and cruel person like Brother Xiao must have deep meaning in everything he does. Could it be that..."
"...He actually wants things as well as people?"
"..."
Yang Jia was also slightly surprised. Amidst the flashing lights and hoarse music of the bar, she looked up at Xiao Xiao.
He seemed to be looking deeply, and then a smile suddenly appeared on his face: "Do you really believe me so much?"
Xiao Xiao smiled and said: "Who else can I trust besides you?"
Seeing them talking so nonchalantly, Lao Zhou's face was gloomy under the bridge, and he couldn't stand listening anymore.
After Yang Jia was slightly surprised, he suddenly smiled, stretched out his hand and pressed it on Xiao Xiao's palm, held the key in his palm, and said softly: "I appreciate the kindness, but I will always accept it."
I am afraid that the things that the chief has hidden deliberately cannot be easily obtained with just a key. You probably have to open the small building and the safe yourself."
"But you don't have to worry about any danger. I will go with you when the time comes."
"..."
The others were stunned and felt a little relieved.
But as a result, the excitement of just getting the key to the inheritance was almost gone.
After all, Xiao Xiao still needs to get this inheritance.
And judging from his generosity, it is estimated that the inheritance passed into Yang Jia's hands.
Damn it...
This thing belongs to our Black Gate City, not your betrothal gift...
…
…
When Xiao Xiao saw this, he also put away the key and said politely: "It's so troublesome."
"What should we do now?"
"..."
"Now……"
Yang Jia slowly raised her head, seeming to be thinking about something. The surrounding lights illuminated her delicate face.
But a pair of eyes were hidden in the darkness.
Vaguely, one can feel a kind of determination and terrifying pressure.
"Everyone, Black Gate City now has a new president."
Her voice slowly rose, and she looked at the red-eyed Ling Ping, the big snake sisters, Lao Zhou under the bridge, and others:
"Then, it's time to pick up the things that were once established by the old president but were later abandoned by us."
"From today on, those sneaky people will not show up again."
"Because, since there are rules again, it means that I can also have no burden..."
"...Clean up the aliens and kill them!"
"..."
Everyone was horrified for a moment, as if their heart was suddenly pinched by a big hand.
The noisy environment suddenly became quiet, as if even the music in the bar gave rise to a faint fear.
