Chapter 557 Buddy, would you like to apply for a card?
She changed her appearance during the day and walked towards Yancheng with Gui Chonghua.
There were people guarding the city gates and the city walls, and there were quite a few of them.
It's strange, there are only people leaving the city.
Bai Tian and Gui Chonghua walked over and were about to ask when one of the city guards shouted, "If you two want to enter the city, you have to go through the south gate."
Bai Tian was stunned: "To enter and exit the city, we have to take different routes?"
The man nodded. "Yes, except for special circumstances, we usually enter from the south and exit from the north. The east and west gates rotate once a month. If you are not from our Heavenly Kingdom, it is best to go directly to the South Gate to get an ID card."
Bai Tian was even more surprised: "Do you still need an ID card?"
"Yes, otherwise, if you do something inside the Kingdom of Heaven, we won't be able to catch you. After you get your ID card, you're half a citizen of the Kingdom of Heaven, so you can leave at any time. But before you leave, you must hand in your ID card and make sure you're fine, otherwise you can't leave. Specifically, someone will tell you when you get to the South Gate."
It sounds like the system of the Kingdom of Heaven is becoming more and more perfect.
They began to understand how to guard against outsiders and had the concept of "national boundaries", which was a great progress...
Gui Zhonghua suddenly said, "What if we fly in directly?"
Bai Tian's cheeks twitched slightly when he said this. This kid really knows how to talk!
As expected, several people guarding the city immediately came over vigilantly.
Bai Tian's cheek twitched and he said awkwardly, "He was just talking nonsense, don't take it seriously."
The man who had just spoken said in a low voice, "You'd better not fly in, otherwise you will be torn to pieces."
"No, no, don't worry." Bai Tian awkwardly pulled Gui Chonghua away.
What a fool! Since they know how to defend the city, how could they not know how to defend the air?
Moreover, it can be detected during the day that there are actually experts guarding the city walls. There is a person at every distance, which is obviously to prevent anyone from flying in.
Before he could get far, someone suddenly caught up with him. He was a young man with a shifty look.
"Hey, you two, do you want to get a card?"
Ok?
Bai Tian suddenly tilted his head with a strange look on his face. Why did this word seem to stimulate ancient memories?
The young man followed beside him, hunching his head and grinning, his voice very low: "Brother, do you want to apply for a card to enter the city?"
Bai Tian nodded slightly: "Yes, but they said they want to go to the South Gate..."
"No need, hey, I have a solution." The young man's eyes suddenly sparkled, "Come with me, I'll help you get the card."
Bai Tian frowned: "I don't know yet what I need to pay for the card."
"No, you don't need to pay anything to get a card." The young man smiled. "Don't worry, we don't need to pay anything to get a card in Heaven. It's just a little more troublesome."
If there is no profit, how can I take the initiative to help?
Before Bai Tian could think about it, the young man had already pulled them to the side.
After passing the north gate of the city, we arrived at a forest at the corner of the city wall.
The young man looked around, then grinned and rubbed his hands together: "Brother, let me make a deal first, you have to follow me closely, and I will issue you a card later."
Bai Tian narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Are you sure there's no price to pay? For example, I need to work, or something else..."
"No, no. You're not from our Kingdom of Heaven. Even if I ask you for money, you don't have any." The young man's smile became even more intense. "Don't worry, you really don't have to work. Come on, I'll take you into the city first."
As he spoke, the young man looked around cautiously. Then, he took Bai Tian and Gui Zhonghua to a big tree and opened it, revealing a hole.
Bai Tian's cheek twitched. He, the great Haotian, needed to crawl through a dog hole to enter Yancheng?!
The young man urged anxiously in a low voice: "Come here quickly, go in first, I will tell you later."
Bai Tian hesitated for a moment, but still walked over. This person was definitely not simple!
It's impossible to help someone for nothing, there must be a price to pay. And the other party's smile is very sinister, and there must be some shady purpose behind it.
However, Bai Tian did not go in first, but let Gui Chonghua go in first. At the same time, Bai Tian released his spiritual sense to explore the situation inside the tree hole.
There is something fishy going on!
As soon as Gui Chonghua entered, an iron cage appeared below, quickly locked him up, and then he was quickly pulled away.
This is not just helping to apply for a card, this is life-threatening!
At the same time, the young man behind Bai Tian urged again: "Brother, hurry up, it will be bad if someone finds you later."
Bai Tian turned around and looked at the other party, narrowing his eyes slightly: "You are really brave. It seems that Yancheng is darker than I expected."
The young man's cheeks twitched suddenly, and his eyes flickered to hide his words: "What did you say? I don't understand..."
Bai Tian's eyes flashed with a cold light: "The person went in, and then quickly locked him up and took him away. I really want to know what you are going to do with the captured person..."
Before he could finish his words, the young man suddenly raised his hand, and a sharp dagger suddenly appeared in his hand and was swung towards him swiftly.
The opponent's strength is quite good, but compared to daytime, it is almost nothing.
Bai Tian remained motionless, his eyes narrowed as he stared. The flying dagger quickly stopped in front of Bai Tian, then slowly melted and turned into gas.
The young man's face turned pale and he turned to run. But as soon as he turned around, his body became unable to move, and he was as stiff as a piece of wood.
Bai Tian walked over with a cold expression, put his hand on the back of his head, and communicated directly with the other person's soul.
"Tell me, or I'll have to extract your memories, and that will be painful."
"You, I, I don't know..."
Bai Tiancai didn't bother to say anything more and directly used his soul power to penetrate the opponent's soul. The opponent's soul screamed in pain, but his body remained motionless.
This was the first time I tried to extract someone else's memory during the day, and it was quite successful.
In fact, memory is a kind of power, but it is very weak.
And now, Bai Tian is forcibly devouring the other party's soul, and he will definitely be able to read the other party's memory, but the other party's memory will soon dissipate and be fragmented.
After a while, Bai Tian stopped extracting memories. The memories he had were too fragmented, and he didn't have the energy to piece them together.
The young man's soul was almost shattered, and he trembled: "Forgive me, forgive me. I'll tell you everything..."
"They, they captured people to make up the numbers. Some, some were sent to practice martial arts, some were sent to the front lines as slaves..."
Listening to this during the day, I couldn't help but sigh. These dark things really are something that will never disappear!
Yancheng is still not strong enough and not perfect enough, leaving such a big loophole.
If the other party dares to do this, I am afraid there must be many people involved behind the scenes, and it is very likely that an industrial chain has been formed.
The human heart is so hard to control...
Bai Tian released the young man, who collapsed to the ground, his face turning green with fear.
Looking up at the daytime, the young man didn't dare to shout, his heart in his throat.
Bai Tian squatted down and said calmly, "I want to know what benefits you will get from this?"
The young man didn't dare to hide it, swallowing his words and saying, "Yes, I will get the money."
"Money?" Bai Tian was a little surprised, but he soon understood and sighed.
Money has ultimately become the "culprit" that manipulates people's hearts.
I knew this day would come. After all, money actually represents the allocation of resources.
But he didn't expect it to come so soon and so fiercely.
In fact, no matter what the background, resources cannot be completely balanced, and the role of money cannot be replaced.
Although most people in the cultivation world didn't need to eat, they actually needed more things. This was especially true for elixirs and weapons, which could be considered life-extending items, making it easier for people to become greedy...
"So you specifically target outsiders who come to heaven from other places?" Bai Tian continued to ask.
"Yes...yes. And, only young ones, as weak as possible."
Bai Tian's mouth twitched slightly: "Do I look like I have no strength?"
The young man suddenly felt extremely aggrieved. He truly felt that Bai Tian and Gui Chonghua were not very powerful. They were not tall, nor did they look like masters. Moreover, they had just spoken very kindly to the city guards, which made them look like weak people.
Who would have thought that this guy was so ridiculously strong!
Bai Tian asked again: "Life in Yancheng should be pretty good, why do you still need money so much?"
"I..." The young man was a little afraid to say it.
Bai Tian suddenly narrowed his eyes and said, "How about I show you the color of your brain?"
The young man's face turned green again with fear, and he quickly replied, "Life in the city is definitely no problem, but, but if you want to live better than others, you need more money to buy more things... I, I want elixirs and weapons... I, I also want to buy an identity."
"Identity?" Bai Tian was slightly surprised. "You mean, I can buy an official position with money?"
"What is an official?" the young man asked.
"It's one of the managers in the city, such as the city guards, patrol officers, etc."
The young man nodded immediately: "Yes, that's right. I, I want to be a patrolman. But, patrolmen need to take an assessment, and I, I failed the assessment."
Bai Tian nodded knowingly. It turned out that the industrial chain behind this was quite mature, and the people involved were really in high positions!
Corruption is truly an eternal problem...
"Where will that person underground be sent?" Bai Tian continued to ask.
"He, he will be locked up underground for a few days, and then he will be sent to the cattle ranch east of the city along with the wood transport convoy. After that, he will be sent away."
"Are there also your people guarding the city?"
"I don't know about that. I'm just responsible for finding people. I don't really understand anything else..."
This matter is very complicated. If we really investigate it, many people will die...
After a little consideration, Bai Tian decided to knock the young man unconscious, and then he slipped into Yancheng.
Soon, Bai Tian found the wood factory the young man had mentioned. It was not far from the south gate of the city and was bustling with people.
During the day, he landed behind the wood factory and released his spiritual sense to investigate. People were coming and going, but no one noticed that several people came out of the underground passage in the backyard of the wood factory. However, they did not bring Gui Chonghua out.
It seems that Gui Chonghua is really hidden underground.
Bai Tian slipped into the backyard of the wood factory and was about to rush out the crowd, but at this moment, he sensed that a group of people were coming towards the wood factory, and many people in the wood factory had run away.
The few people who came out from the underground in the backyard also ran out. Of course, they closed the underground passage.
Bai Tian was quite surprised and continued to release his spiritual sense to investigate.
A group of people did come to the door of the sawmill, and the leader was a young woman, probably less than 20 years old.
Both parties gathered at the door, seemingly having an argument, but no one knew what they were arguing about.
Bai Tian thought about it for a while, then suddenly slammed his palm towards the ground.
bang...
The ground in the backyard suddenly leaped up, and the entire mill shook violently. At the same time, the underground passage was blasted open, and Tian Tian finally sensed Gui Chonghua underground. He was imprisoned with several other people, all bound hand and foot.
There were still a few people guarding the underground, and during the day, he took advantage of the dust and quickly shook them away. Then, he flew backwards and landed on the roof.
As expected, the crowd in front of the sawmill gate heard the noise and quickly rushed in, including the woman who had just arrived.
The two groups rushed over and saw the dust in the yard, and they became even more noisy. One group shouted for the woman and others to leave, while a few others ignored the dust and ran over to check the underground passage.
To Bai Tian's surprise, the woman was quite decisive. She suddenly drew out a sharp sword and chopped down a man who was trying to stop her. Then she shouted, "If you try to stop me again, I'll kill you!"
"Send the signal and inform the city defenders. Don't let anyone go!"
"Qi E, you dare..."
Before the person who opposed it could finish his words, Qi E had already swung his sword and split him in half.
"I say again, blockers, kill! What are you standing there for?"
Then, the group of people who were blocked began to pull out their weapons, and those who blocked them were instantly scared. Some took advantage of the dust to escape, while others stood aside obediently.
Qi E was very decisive and rushed into the flying dust with a few people.
At this moment, Bai Tian sensed that someone was trying to take advantage of the opportunity to attack Qi E. Bai Tian's eyes flashed, and he used a thunder spell to strike the attacker with lightning.
Qi E reacted quickly, turning around and fighting back, while shouting, "Don't show mercy, they've gone crazy, kill all the resistance!"
This woman is so cruel!
But in this situation, they should be more ruthless, otherwise they might be the ones to die, because they saw the truth in the wood factory...
Soon, Qi E saw the secret room under the yard and saw Gui Chonghua and others who were tied up.
Qi E did not rush down recklessly, but shouted again: "Call for help! Don't let anyone go!"
"Everyone listen to me, your dirty deeds have been exposed. If you resist, you will die!"
At the same time, several masters flew over from the south gate of the city.
Bai Tian did not continue to watch, but flew away. He suddenly thought that starting with the collapse of the wood mill and then slowly uncovering the true face of this dark deal seemed like a good idea.
As for how to deal with it in the end, it shouldn't be his decision. It should be handed over to the king, Qi Fangxun...
