“Brother Shu, did you plan on capturing all these overseas secret practitioners from the very beginning?” Chen Zuan could not understand.
In the past, it was a joke that the Ninth Heavenly King was a mass weapon of destruction. After all, Lu Shu had cheated and killed several thousand people. It was a small number, compared to hundreds of thousands of people.
Thus, a majority of people did not feel any pain. When others said that the Ninth Heavenly King cheated others, they followed suit. Over time, it became meaningful.
Now, the misfortune that they had been gloating over happened to them. They now knew how painful it was…
While flying in the sky, Lu Shu said, “That’s right. This is my plan.”
Chen Zuan carefully said, “Brother Shu, have you ever thought about the fact that your plans… have never succeeded?”
“Touch wood,” said Lu Shu with a dark expression on his face. This would help him advance. If he did not have this source of income to earn distress points, what would he do? Huh?
But it was too late. Suddenly, Lu Shu realized that the flow of distress points was slowing down, to the point that he could see everything. Eventually, it slowed down to the point that he could not even bear to look at!
When Chen Zuan looked at Lu Shu’s expression, he realized that something was wrong, but he did not know exactly what was wrong!
At that moment, someone in the prison suddenly said, “I don’t think that the Ninth Heavenly King is cheating us!”
A Caucasian laughed coldly. “If he is not cheating us, then what is he doing?”
“Although the Ninth Heavenly King is terrifying, have you ever seen him kill the innocent? No matter whether it was the Phoenix Society or the Department of Faith Theory, they were the ones looking for trouble!”
The Caucasian did not speak. He was from the Phoenix Society. He knew very well what had happened at the Tiger’s Back fortress. Back then, he was one of the survivors!
The rest had not thought of anything to oppose this. They just felt that this point of view was strange. The Ninth Heavenly King was a good person?
The person who spoke first continued. “According to what I know, the Ninth Heavenly King does not kill the innocent. From his past deeds, we can see that he has moral values. Of course, I am not helping him erase his other evil deeds. I am just saying that something is fishy about this!”
“Think about it. Even if he does not care about us, aren’t we locked up?”
Everyone thought about it, he was right. They had been here for a few days and experienced how evil the people were here. They remained calm even when killing others. Even those who considered themselves to be evil among the secret practitioners could not do this!
Many people felt that they had fallen into a trap!
The person looked at everyone’s expressions. Then, he continued. “Think about it. What good is there if he leaves us here? I believe that you have seen how evil the people here are. If the city guards had not appeared, how many of us would have been able to survive? Furthermore, did you hear what the prison guard said? Although the Ninth Heavenly King has locked us up, he has ordered for sufficient meals to be prepared, and that none of us are to be harmed.”
“If the Ninth Heavenly King wanted to ensure that we do not steal the treasures in the remains, would he have made such detailed requests? Think about it. The Ninth Heavenly King would not have to take precautions against people like you if he wanted to take something. Are you worth his time?”
These words were harsh, but true…
The Ninth Heavenly King was a master. Did he need to lock all of them up when raiding the remains? No!
The person continued. “Everyone knows the answer. He is definitely doing this not to prevent us from stealing things. Even if we obtained anything, after he gets out, he can still take them from us. Furthermore, although the Heavenly Network has a defensive stance against us, they do not commit crimes, right?”
Everyone was moved. After all, they could not oppose this. The Ninth Heavenly King had nothing against them.
He was not afraid that they would take the treasures. He even ensured that they were well taken care of. Why did it not seem like he was cheating them…
But some people could not accept this. “Then why is he doing this?”
The person calmly replied, “To protect us.”
“Are you crazy?! Ha ha ha, the Ninth Heavenly King, protecting us?” Someone laughed out loud.
“Don’t laugh. Let me ask you, can you defeat the people outside?” The person explained. “Furthermore, they kill without batting an eyelid. Can you ensure that you will be able to survive outside until the remains end? I don’t think so! Thus, to us, where is the safest place? The prison!”
“That seems to be the case…”
The person continued. “The remains this time are much more dangerous than we expected! Thus, I suggest that we don’t focus on the treasures. It is good enough that we will be able to survive!”
At this moment, the prison guard laughed. “To me, you are like fish meat on a chopping board. Are you here to look for treasures? Ha ha ha. Being able to survive is good enough. You are too weak. Many people are waiting to rob you outside!”
This dealt a heavy blow to everyone. Someone softly said, “Is the Ninth Heavenly King really doing this to protect us?”
“Yes, the Ninth Heavenly King is protecting us!”
This was probably the reason why Lu Shu’s source of distress points had disappeared…
Luckily, Lu Shu was not around. If not, he would have killed the person who stood up for him…
A person produced 100 distress points every minute. How many distress points would he be able to earn from several thousand people? Although this would decrease with the passage of time, it was enough for Lu Shu to light up the second, or even the third star.
But now, it was over…
Lu Shu had never imagined that he would suddenly become a good person who pitied the people. He did not even dream of this!
According to Lu Shu’s plan, once everyone escaped, they would definitely spread his poor reputation. Then, many people would produce distress points for him. When he thought about this, he laughed.
But now, it was different. Not only would they not spread his poor reputation, they might even speak good about him. Once someone said something bad about Lu Shu, they would resist. The Ninth Heavenly King was a good person who saved their lives!
Gradually, there might be no one on Earth who would provide Lu Shu with distress points…
This event seemed to happen in the prisons located in the various cities. Some things seem like a coincidence, but in the end, history would prove that it was inevitable.
For example, no one could determine what other intentions Lu Shu had…
