Watching Zhong Mu devising his plans, Li Mo stared at him silently.
"Sometimes you're a rather complicated person."
"Huh? What's complicated about me? I'm just a clean and innocent newcomer." Zhong Mu asked, looking completely innocent.
Li Mo seemed to be deep in thought, "You can be very kind when you're kind, and very kind when you're mean."
Perhaps because he was too perceptive, coupled with the habit of being led around since childhood, he was empty inside, mostly observing the situations of others.
While observing others, he also imitates them a lot, which can greatly change him due to the influence of his surroundings. When he came to the small town, he met two extreme people, which had a significant impact on his personality.
Lacking the real-life experience of Yin Xiu, Zhong Mu only learned superficial indifference and disdain for everything around him. Having learned this, he learned to feign strength, and from Ye Tianxuan, he learned to exploit everything around him to achieve his optimal goals.
As long as he has a clear mind and a well-defined goal, he can accomplish whatever he sets his mind to.
Although his strength is not yet at the level of the real Yin Xiu or the real Ye Tianxuan, he is indeed a good prospect.
Li Mo also likes to observe others and can see Zhong Mu's excellence, but Zhong Mu is unaware of it.
Perhaps because he was rejected from a young age, he always felt that he was no good at anything and would only cry every day that he couldn't live without a big shot. But in reality, when it was time to take out the axe, he would take it out and kill indiscriminately. When it was time to organize a plan, he was also quite capable. He really didn't seem like a newbie who would be at a loss when faced with a situation.
"Boss Li Mo, I'm a law-abiding citizen with a super good heart. How could I have any bad intentions?" Zhong Mu said innocently.
The priest glanced at the diviner who was being attacked by the residents outside.
Hmm... he does have a bit of a mischievous streak.
"Do you already have an idea?" The priest turned his gaze to Zhong Mu. Although he always seemed to be hiding behind the man in black, he seemed quite calm in the face of the mess in the City of Oblivion.
"Yes!" Zhong Mu nodded immediately, pulled Li Mo aside and introduced him to the priest: "Let me tell you, although this person is not the kind of god you have in your world, he is indeed a god and has power."
The priest nodded; given the commotion just now, it would be hard for her not to know.
"He also has a boyfriend."
"Hmm?" The priest suddenly sensed something was wrong, his gaze fixed on Li Mo. "Boyfriend? Male friend?"
Zhong Mu shook his head seriously, "Lovers, the kind who can't be separated from you for a moment."
The priest paused for a moment, then nodded. "Oh."
"Where is her boyfriend now?"
"In the neighboring Twin Cities, and it seems the trouble in Twin Cities has already been resolved, right?" Zhong Mu turned to Li Mo to confirm. After the Butterfly Communication was taken away, he knew nothing about Xiu Ge's situation.
"Yes, it's coming this way with my little clone, we should be here soon." Li Mo nodded with a smile, her tone full of joy as she said this.
"It's good that they're almost here." Zhong Mu was immediately relieved, and then introduced her boyfriend to the priest again: "This girl's boyfriend is a human, but he's incredibly strong. In our world, he's known as the God of Slaughter by both humans and monsters. Although he's a good person, he appears somewhat dangerous and difficult to approach!"
"If the residents of this city encounter a dangerous person who will massacre the entire city, and they are forced to leave, will they leave?"
The priest smirked. "With a knife to their throats, I think they'll leave, but some of them will inevitably be brainless."
"Great! We need someone brainless like this, otherwise how can we show how terrifying Brother Xiu is!" Zhong Mu felt that his steps were perfect. "As long as Brother Xiu appears and his aura is dangerous and terrifying enough to scare everyone away, this city will definitely be empty within a day."
The priest nodded, already understanding Zhong Mu's plan.
Thinking it over, Zhong Mu looked at Li Mo with expectant eyes, "Could you please pass on a message to Brother Xiu and tell him about my plan, so that he can cooperate when he comes?"
Li Mo pursed her lips. "I have to play the role of a god, and my boyfriend has to play the role of a villain. Does that mean we're enemies?"
Then he'll have to pretend to be mean to his boyfriend.
Zhong Mu twitched the corner of her mouth. Was she even pretending to be unwilling? Couldn't she stop thinking about Xiu-ge all the time?
"It's just an act!" Zhong Mu said with a smile, coaxing in a low voice, "Once this city's problem is resolved, I'll be heading to the City of Destiny. Then you and Brother Xiu can go to the City of Immortality together sweetly, without me bothering you on the way! You two can be alone, isn't that great!"
Li Mo paused slightly, as if moved, "You really won't be coming with us?"
He didn't hide his intention to treat Zhong Mu like a third wheel at all.
"Of course, I need to go check out the City of Destiny first, but I definitely won't bother you!" Zhong Mu nodded earnestly.
Eager to meet her boyfriend, Li Mo readily agreed, "Okay, I'll tell my boyfriend, and I'll pretend to be him then!"
He thought it was a good deal to have a short period of acting in exchange for a long time alone with his partner.
"Good, good, good!" Zhong Mu nodded with satisfaction. "Big Brother Li Mo is wise. This Forgotten City wouldn't be possible without your perfect match with Brother Xiu. Without you two, the Forgotten City would have been destroyed sooner or later! Your presence here is the last bit of luck for this Forgotten City!"
Li Mo didn't listen to anything Zhong Mu was praising; he hadn't seen his boyfriend for two days and already wanted to cuddle and hug him!
He had endured enough of the years his ex-boyfriend forgot about him, and now he didn't want to accept any more grievances or separation. He had to stick to his boyfriend's side!
The high priest listened silently to the conversation between the two. He could sense that this timid boy was actually quite good at manipulating the people around him, including this non-human. He really could see through everyone's thoughts.
He saw both the near-collapse anxiety of the inhabitants of this forgotten city and the unease displayed by the god.
After comforting Li Mo, Zhong Mu turned and smiled at the priest, "Don't worry, the City of Oblivion will recover before your power disappears, and you will have a stable future."
The priest smiled silently and nodded. "I believe you."
"Now, we need to move on to the next step before Brother Xiu arrives," Zhong Mu said, opening the door to the room.
In the short time it took to chat, the situation outside the door had changed dramatically.
The fortune teller, who had been surrounded and respected by the crowd, was now bound hand and foot and thrown on the ground, while a large crowd knelt in the distance, praying sincerely.
The scene is almost like throwing a fortune teller here as a sacrifice to beg for divine forgiveness.
The fortune teller on the ground stared at Zhong Mu, who had come out to see him, his eyes devoid of light.
