Chapter 370: Chapter 283: Making Rules at Will_2

"Your point is well-taken," Mr. Ke shook his head helplessly, "but unfortunately, even we of the Empty Way of Dependent Dharma stand no chance of victory if faced directly with those beings. Therefore, we have decided to start by sabotaging their plans. We do not seek to eradicate these entities completely; we only hope to impede their plans as much as possible, to prevent them from achieving their perverse and unnatural ends."

"Oh~" Xiao Yi nodded, "After all that, it turns out you can’t beat them, so now you’re picking on us to save face, how embarrassing... No, wait, what does us being unable to defeat Analog Horror have to do with you? Why are you looking for us?"

"The reason is simple," Mr. Ke, looking straight at Xiao Yi, explained, "It all hinges on you... a human individual named Xiao Yi."

"...me?" Xiao Yi was utterly perplexed.

"Yes," Mr. Ke nodded, "Your existence has significantly advanced their plans. To us, you are a highly threatening presence that must be dealt with. This instance was designed with the hope of eliminating you, but it turns out you survived to the end. No matter, I’ll have to take action myself."

"...Not this again?" Xiao Yi was speechless.

He had previously been hunted by two individuals suspected of being linked to Analog Horror, and it was only due to an adrenaline surge at a critical moment that he managed to repel them. Now someone else wanted to eliminate him!?

Moreover, if Analog Horror and the Empty Way of Dependent Dharma were opposing entities, why were they both targeting him? Had he violated some cosmic law?

And how had he managed to significantly advance the plans of Analog Horror anyway? No, what was more pressing was to find out, what exactly was Analog Horror planning to do?

However, just as Xiao Yi prepared to ask Mr. Ke what this so-called plan was, Mr. Ke said:

"Well then, out of the respect found in human emotions, I have elucidated the reasons for your impending death. With no further delay, it’s time to act. Die, Xiao Yi."

"This... huh?"

It seemed there was no room for further discussion.

Then, at that moment, Fei Ye came swiftly to Xiao Yi’s side, protecting him.

"Don’t think you can succeed, I... will not let you kill him again."

"Oh?" Mr. Ke’s voice tinged with interest, "Interesting, indeed. According to the rules, there is still some time left before the end, and moreover, I have yet to discover what your talent is. Well then, let’s see what kind of surprise you can show me."

"I won’t let you kill Xiao Yi either." Sheraya stepped forward, "Having said that... that guy is not something we can handle. Plus, you never mentioned he would become our final enemy."

"Sorry." Fei Ye said, "I couldn’t let him notice, so I had to act prematurely and keep silent."

"I see." Sheraya asked again, "So, how do we deal with him?"

"Hmph... Do you even need to ask?"

Fei Ye smiled faintly and then swiftly turned around, grabbing Xiao Yi’s hand and running.

"If you know you can’t win, then you’d better run!"

"...Huh?"

Sheraya stood dumbfounded for a moment before hurriedly catching up with their pace.

"Is this your so-called plan!?"

"Whatever the plan is, first you need to be alive to execute it!" Fei Ye responded, "Besides, the condition for clearing the instance is to leave the Ruined City. All we have to do now is to leave the Ruined City, and we’ll be able to clear this instance! Then we can return to Blue Star, where we should be safe!"

Upon understanding this, Sheraya didn’t ask any further and focused on running at full speed.

But soon, he noticed a problem: although they were all running with all their might, the scenery before them did not change at all, and Mr. Ke was always a short distance behind them, watching them with an amused smile, without the slightest sense of distance!

It was as if they were running in place!

"What’s going on?" Sheraya felt something was off.

"That’s why I told you, no matter how hard you try, you cannot escape from us, after all, that’s the rule."

With that, Mr. Ke raised his hand and slowly said:

"And if you plan on leaving the Ruined City, that’s impossible as well... Rule Twelve: [Extend the edges of the Ruined City and fuse them in the sky to form the Wall of Heaven]."

Immediately following, just as Mr. Ke had said, Xiao Yi and his companions felt an unusual vibration underfoot.

Then, they saw the endless land from all directions stretching towards the sky, instantly converging at one point, and covering the entire sky!

"What...!" Sheraya, seeing this, was utterly shocked, "Just by moving his mouth, he sealed the sky? And every time, he sets such arbitrary rules, could it be... could this guy really have the power to set rules without any limits?"

"You guessed right," Mr. Ke’s face wore an even bigger smile.

"...Damn it!"

An enemy of this level could not merely be described as troublesome; it could only be described with absolute despair!

Now, with the sky sealed, Xiao Yi and the others were unable to escape from Mr. Ke’s vicinity due to the rules, effectively leaving them without recourse.

However, Fei Ye had not given up, and she said to Xiao Yi and Sheraya:

"Let’s go, to the sewers!"

Without asking further questions, the three immediately opened a nearby manhole cover and headed for the sewers.

"Oh? Are you hiding?" Mr. Ke walked slowly toward the entrance of the sewer, "But even if you hide, you won’t be able to go far, you can’t escape from me..."

Meanwhile, in the sewer, Fei Ye also said to Xiao Yi:

"Xiao Yi, at this point, Sheraya’s ability has been sealed by the rules, it’s useless now, we can only rely on you."

Hearing this, Sheraya’s mouth twitched. But that was the truth, so he said nothing.

He had no objections.

"I know, it’s that ability where things happen as I wish, right?" Xiao Yi nodded in agreement.

After abandoning his blind faith in science, Xiao Yi had gradually come to accept the existence of superpowers and abnormalities, and under Fei Ye’s constant explanations, he had come to understand his own talent for making things happen as he wished.

As for the ability’s requirement that he must believe in it himself, that was irrelevant, after all, Xiao Yi was very good at convincing himself!

So, Xiao Yi immediately used the talent ability "Abstract Reality"!

"...Hmm?" Mr. Ke quickly realized something was amiss, "The ground, it’s trembling... what is going on?"

In the very next moment, the ground under Mr. Ke’s feet completely collapsed!

Then, Mr. Ke began to fall uncontrollably downward!

Looking down, he saw not only the ground beneath his own feet crumbling, but also... the entire ground of the Ruined City had been pierced through, reaching the sky below!

At the same time, Mr. Ke also saw Xiao Yi and the others falling as well.

"...Oh?" Mr. Ke voiced his surprise, "So this is your way of leaving the Ruined City?"

That’s right, since Xiao Yi and his companions couldn’t move away from Mr. Ke, why not take Mr. Ke with them as they left the Ruined City?

The speed of the fall was fast; in little time, Xiao Yi and his companions would be out of the bounds of the Ruined City!

"Good... We can finally leave the Ruined City, clear this instance, right?" Sheraya was a little excited to see they were finally about to leave the Ruined City.

However, at that moment, he heard Mr. Ke’s voice.

"A very interesting tactic, but... Rule thirteen! [The area outside the Ruined City is also considered within the range of the Ruined City! Leaving the Ruined City does not count as clearing it, one must wait for the month to end and enter the settlement state to be considered as having left the Ruined City]!"

"What...!?"

No one had thought that the rules he set could also interfere with the condition for clearing the instance!
