Yin Tianrui spoke calmly, as if he had already become accustomed to his life, which was difficult to change, and had become accepting and peaceful.
But this was difficult for Yin Xiu, who had just arrived here, to understand.
In this city, people are labeled slaves and stripped of their rights simply for disrespecting the gods. It sounds like this god has an incredibly strong desire to control her people and is filled with some humanity, unlike Li Mo who is simple and pure.
Yin Xiu seemed to be deep in thought, realizing that it was necessary to meet this god.
"Anyway, in Twin City, once the people are no longer protected by the God of Fortune, they will be recruited by the God of Calamity, and their lives will be in a trough from then on, and they will never be happy again. For the people living in this city, this is worse than death."
"But in the past, the God of Fortune did not have such strict requirements on the citizens of Twin Cities. But for some reason, his control gradually became stricter and stricter. People went from sincere faith to forced worship. Rules were added one by one until they became a constraint on everyone." Yin Tianrui turned his head to look around and at the crowd dressed in red. "It seems that no one is accepted by the God of Fortune anymore."
"A calamity god?"
"It's a god who brings misfortune to people, punishing sinners in Twin Cities, condemning them to a life of curses." Yin Tianrui clutched his head in frustration. "My plan failed because I was favored by the god of misfortune!"
"..." Yin Xiu felt that this might be his own problem.
In short, Yin Xiu roughly understood.
The Twin Cities are called Twin Cities because there is not only one god called the God of Fortune, but also a god called the God of Calamity. However, because of the effects of the god, no one would actively worship such a god. The god of fortune is also the one who holds power in the Twin Cities and who imposes such extreme restrictions on the citizens.
If this calamity god hadn't come from Yin Tianrui's mouth, he would have had no idea that such a deity existed.
According to the original customs of Twin Cities, the existence of the two gods is very peaceful and stable here. The God of Fortune will bring happiness, health and smooth life to the peaceful, while the God of Calamity will punish the sinners and make them pay the price they deserve.
But now everything has changed.
"Do you really feel like you're cursed by the God of Calamity?" Yin Xiu stared intently at Yin Tianrui, a guess popping into his mind for some reason.
"Huh? Am I so unlucky that I'm cursed by some evil god?" Yin Tianrui spread his hands. "If I weren't so lucky, you would have killed me just now!"
"So you're not dead, are you? And you're not entirely controlled by the God of Calamity, right?" Yin Xiu stared calmly at Yin Tianrui. He was still lucky; the truly unfortunate ones were the divine messengers working under the God of Fortune.
The so-called protection of God was not reflected in them at all.
"What you're saying makes some sense, doesn't it?" Yin Tianrui scratched his head, looking puzzled.
Yin Xiu didn't want to discuss things with someone who wasn't quite right in the head, so he immediately turned around and said, "Fine, take me to your little base."
"Excellent, excellent, excellent!" Yin Tianrui was very excited. Let's bring back this great Buddha statue that has caused such a stir in Twin City! Who knows, maybe it will bring a change of fortune to these slaves!
On his way back, Yin Xiu remembered what he was supposed to do, but Yin Tianrui's appearance had interrupted him. He took out his butterfly hair clip and contacted Li Mo again, intending to express his concern for his friend and ask about Ye Tianxuan's situation. If he was still alive, he could focus on his own affairs.
"Hello? Boyfriend?"
Once the connection is established, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the first voice to come through will be Li Mo's; he will definitely not let Zhong Mu get his hands on it.
"Well, how's it going on your end?" Yin Xiu asked as they walked, noticing the complicated look in Yin Tianrui's eyes.
She keeps contacting her boyfriend even while walking down the street; I can't stand it.
"We're doing great here." Li Mo chatted with Yin Xiu while holding the butterfly communicator. "I've eaten some bad guys, and they don't dare to mess with me now. Zhong Mu also got a set of rules. The place we're in is called… the Forgotten City."
"It sounds different from where I am. It seems I won't be able to see you for a while." Yin Xiu nodded. He was assigned to two different cities right away. This world was obviously bigger than he had imagined, and the situation in the different cities was complicated because of the different gods.
It seems that the existence of gods in this world is a matter of course.
"Boyfriend, you have to miss me! Even if we can't see each other for a while, you have to miss me too. If you really want to see me, I'll run to see you right now!"
"Hmm, no rush, and I don't really want to right now."
"..." The little tentacle's mind went blank, and it automatically deleted that sentence. "Okay, boyfriend, I'll miss you!"
Zhong Mu's voice suddenly came from the side, shouting.
"Hey! Brother Xiu! I have something to tell you! Could you ask Boss Li Mo to give me the communication device? I want to—um!"
"No, you don't want to." Li Mo used his tentacles to push Zhong Mu aside.
Zhong Mu secretly wiped away her tears; being with a powerful man who only had eyes for his boyfriend was exhausting.
"Li Mo, give it to him. I still have some questions to ask Zhong Mu," Yin Xiu said, otherwise Zhong Mu would never have been able to get this communication device.
"Oh, okay," Li Mo replied, adding before handing over the communicator, "Remember to miss me."
The brief separation reminded him of the long partings of the past, and it seemed that the little tendrils were now uneasy, always needing to hear Yin Xiu's voice to feel at ease.
"Okay, I'll miss you," Yin Xiu replied, attracting even more furtive glances from those around him.
Wow, the man who went berserk killing the God Envoy on the street is now whispering sweet nothings to a butterfly. How eerie.
Yin Xiu ignored their gazes and focused on listening to Zhong Mu's voice coming from the other end of the communication.
"Brother Xiu, the city where Boss Li Mo and I are now is called the City of Oblivion. The reason why this city is so chaotic is because there is no longer a god who cares for them! Their god has disappeared!" Zhong Mu explained to Yin Xiu earnestly. "Every city in this world has at least one god who protects its citizens. We don't know what's happening in other cities, but in the city I'm in, there is clearly no trace of a god."
"In addition, I contacted Boss Ye. Boss Ye said that the place he is in is called Changsheng City. That city is very special. It has gods, but people are still not doing well. The city where Mu He is located also originally had gods, but now the gods have disappeared."
Yin Xiu seemed to be deep in thought, "So, out of the four different cities, at least two of the gods have disappeared?"
"Yes, and I always feel that even in a city where the gods still exist, things are still not quite normal. I always feel that the gods in this world are all a bit off. I don't know if it's just my imagination."
"It's not your imagination, things aren't quite right here either." Yin Xiu murmured, raising his eyes to look at the distant tower. "To be honest, I suspect that there are no gods in the Twin Cities where I am."
