Chapter 907: The Heinous Individual
Chapter 907: The Heinous Individual
"This is going to be a huge problem..."
Lindsey's first instinct was, of course, to leave this place of trouble.
But upon a slight perception, he sensed that the Law Guardian's principles had already spread throughout the entire street.
Whether it was the sky above or the ground beneath, they were all under the control of the Sovereign Soil's rule.
At this level of law enforcement, it was clear that ordinary methods would not allow for a safe escape from this place.
Alarson, standing beside him, immediately spoke up, "Do you want me to get you out of here?"
But Lindsey shook his head, "No need, it doesn't make sense to reveal all your cards at the start."
"I'll think of something else."
"Besides, you know I have a lot of messy stuff on my hands, and it's not like I'm at the end of my rope yet."
As Lindsey spoke, he had already left the attribute panel and began to study his equipment and skills.
Within the City of Law, most of the residents were innocent commoners, or perhaps even the Law Guardians exercising their skills were just law-abiding peacekeepers.
Avoiding unnecessary slaughter was undoubtedly the top priority.
Unlike the unshakeable Lindsey, the dark streets erupted like a boiling cauldron!
"It's the Law Guardian!"
"Why is the Law Guardian here at this late hour?"
"As I feared, the city's food supply is running low, and they want to get rid of us, maybe even eliminate us right here!"
"..."
The dark streets buzzed with discussion.
The cautious residents, who had been sleeping, were all now wide awake.
Lindsey, standing in the believers' headquarters, looked out as Atmospheric Sensation brought all the information to his ears.
At this moment, everyone was on high alert.
Prizzum, who had just left, didn't have time to notify others and had already gathered his most trusted subordinates.
Including Prizzum himself, there were five of them.
One at the seventh stage and four at the fourth stage.
These individuals, who could control the world in other places, gathered cautiously.
What appeared on their faces was not a look of battle readiness but rather a mix of apprehension and concern for the future.
Prizzum, aware of the ticking clock, spoke up, "Listen, before tonight's events, I had already prepared to pay the price for my choices. But what happened tonight was somewhat beyond my expectations, and there's something I must do."
"Child, no, friends."
"Please accept this commission—the real crisis, I may not have the chance to deal with, but you are different."
"You are the future."
As if giving his final instructions, Prizzum finished his last words to his followers and then, using the difference in their believer ranks, forced them to leave.
"..."
Prizzum glanced in Lindsey's direction.
His original intention was to call out to Lindsey to escape together, using the teleportation array in the secret room.
But his Revelation suddenly took effect.
It seemed that Lindsey had a different plan in mind, and this man also had a more important mission within the City of Law.
...
A little further away, Lizzy, who had just stepped out of the believers' stronghold, was also stunned on the street.
She looked up at the dark sky—the night was already shrouded in a faint radiance, a sign that the skill was taking effect.
"..."
"Mr. Robinson's Sinner Mark doesn't have the ability to transmit coordinates externally.
"Is it about the matters he and Mr. Prizzum spoke of?"
Lizzy's expression turned grave.
The residents of the Shadow Alley, awakened by the night, peered out curiously from their surroundings.
Soon, someone noticed Lizzy's fiery red hair:
"Lizzy, do you know what's going on? Why are the streets filled with the Law Guardians' skills?"
"Are we going to be forced out?"
Lizzy knew that this was not the time to show weakness or allow panic to spread further. She forcefully suppressed her emotional turmoil with her faith, assuming a gentle and composed demeanor:
"Everyone, please calm down!"
"A tense situation has occurred within the city, and the Law Guardians are enforcing a strict lockdown. It has nothing to do with any of you."
"Tonight, stay indoors, keep your doors and windows shut, and don't come out!"
"Chaos and irrationality are our greatest threats right now!"
"..."
"Thank you, Miss Lizzy."
"And good luck to you too!"
Some believed Lizzy's explanation and promptly shut themselves in, hiding in their homes.
The more astute individuals realized the gravity of the situation.
They immediately packed their bags, determined to seize any chance of survival, no matter the outcome.
As for those who had nothing, even their desire to survive had turned them into walking corpses, going through the motions like clockwork.
To them, this turn of events wasn't particularly concerning.
"..."
"Prizzum, come out!"
Soon, the Law Guardians' rebuke echoed through the city skies.
The golden radiance instantly enveloped the entire street.
Lizzy, standing on the street, had intended to speak up upon seeing them.
But when she noticed the Law Guardians' haughty attitude, not even deigning to glance at her, she understood the current situation.
Lizzy usually had a decent relationship with the Law Guardians, and she was the one who negotiated with the Shadow Alley.
However, today, their skills carried an unprecedented coldness and anger.
Negotiation was out of the question.
If there was even a hint of resistance, annihilation would be their only response.
"Alright, there's no need for such a grand display."
Under the immense pressure, Prizzum stepped forward:
"I organized tonight's attack, and I'll take full responsibility."
"I'll face the consequences alone, so just arrest me."
The Law Guardian in the sky drew his sword:
"How could a mere seven-stage believer like you have the audacity to commit such an act? You must have support behind you! Confess everything!"
More Law Guardians in armor appeared, surrounding the Shadow Alley.
As they sealed off the street, an elite squad arrived near the believers' base, keeping it under tight surveillance.
They drew their swords in unison, all aimed at the surrendering Prizzum.
"..."
Inside the house, Lind Sai felt a mix of absurdity and reality.
"A small seven-stage Awakened One?"
In another world, such a statement would sound bizarre.
But in the City of Law, it had become a stark reality.
The Law Guardian in the air shifted his gaze to the believers' base.
He didn't see Lind Sai, but sensing the sinner's presence on the Sovereign Soil, he immediately detected a strong enemy aura.
The Shadow Alley was always a complex place, and it wasn't unusual for fugitives to hide there.
"Oh, and there's a thief?"
The Law Guardian's eyebrows rose.
His original target for the night was solely Prizzum, and he was about to return after making the arrest. However, he decided to check the Sinner's Mark on the culprit.
The Law Guardian's tone turned serious:
"Is it you?"
"The heinous individual who disrupted the swearing-in ceremony!"
