How many days can the top rich boyfriend live?

Jiang Luo stood in the middle of the street, his eyes sweeping across the dilapidated scene around him, a complex emotion welling up in his heart.

The bustling and bustling scenes were just illusions created by the magic crystals, covering up the true face of the city. The people here had long lost their perception of the real world under the deception of the illusion.

The old man continued with a trembling voice: "Although the magic stone can create illusions, the price is our lives. Every once in a while, the City Lord's Mansion will capture some people as sacrifices to maintain the operation of the magic stone. The old, weak and disabled like us can only watch our loved ones being taken away, but we are powerless to do anything..."

Xiao Shuai walked up to Jiang Luo, his eyes full of anger: "Boss, these people are so crazy! They actually used illusions to cover up their crimes!"

Jiang Luo nodded, with a hint of chill in his tone: "The power of the magic crystal can not only distort the rules, but also control people's hearts. The ruler of this city has long been reduced to a puppet of the magic energy."

The old man raised his head, with a glimmer of hope in his cloudy eyes: "My Lord God, if you destroy the divine stone, does it mean that we can finally escape from the sea of ​​suffering?"

Jiang Luo was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Although the sacred stone has been destroyed, the problems of this city have not been completely solved. The source of the magic crystals is still there, and those rulers will not give up their power easily."

Xiao Shuai clenched his fists and said firmly: "Boss, we have to help them! We can't let them continue to live in such dire straits!"

Jiang Luo glanced at Xiao Shuai and nodded: "You are right. Now that we are here, we can't just sit back and do nothing."

At this moment, there was a commotion in the distance. A group of soldiers in armor were walking towards them, led by a general with a face full of flesh. When he saw Jiang Luo and Xiao Shuai, a fierce look flashed in his eyes, and he shouted: "Come here! Capture these two traitors who destroyed the God Stone!"

The soldiers rushed up quickly and surrounded Jiang Luo and Xiao Shuai. However, Jiang Luo just glanced at them indifferently, raised his hand and waved, and those soldiers were pushed away by an invisible force and fell to the ground one after another.

Upon seeing this, the general's face changed drastically and he shouted angrily: "Who are you? How dare you resist the city lord's order!"

Jiang Luo's eyes were like knives, and he said coldly: "It doesn't matter who we are. What matters is that it's time to settle accounts for your crimes."

The general was stunned for a moment, then sneered: "Crime? Haha, we maintain order in the capital, what crime have we committed? But you, you destroyed the sacred stone without authorization and ruined the prosperity of the capital, which is simply a heinous crime!"

Jiang Luo sneered, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone: "Prosperity? It's just an illusion created by the magic crystals. You use the lives of innocent people to maintain the so-called prosperity. This is the real crime."

The general's face changed, obviously he didn't expect Jiang Luo to know these inside stories. But he quickly regained his composure and said sternly: "Stop spreading rumors here! Come on, take them down!"

However, those soldiers did not dare to move forward, obviously frightened by Jiang Luo's methods.

Jiang Luo stopped entangled with them and turned to Xiao Shuai and said, "Xiao Shuai, let's go find the city lord. It's time to end this."

Xiao Shuai nodded and followed Jiang Luo towards the City Lord's Mansion. The generals wanted to stop them, but found that they could not move and could only watch the two leave.

Soon, Jiang Luo and Xiao Shuai arrived at the ruins of the City Lord's Mansion. The City Lord had long since disappeared, leaving only some ruins, telling of the former glory.

Xiao Shuai looked around and frowned, "The city lord ran away? What should we do?"

Jiang Luo closed his eyes, sensed the surrounding atmosphere, then opened his eyes and said calmly: "He can't get far. Although the magic crystal is destroyed, there is still a trace of magic on his body. Let's follow this trace."

Xiao Shuai nodded and followed Jiang Luo to follow the scent. Along the way, they saw more dilapidated scenes, with abandoned houses and emaciated people on both sides of the street.

Finally, they found the city owner in a remote alley. He was hiding in a dilapidated house, looking pale and panicked.

Jiang Luo pushed open the door and looked at him coldly: "Can you escape your guilt by hiding here?"

The city lord was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "You...what on earth do you want to do? I was just following orders. It's not my fault!"

Jiang Luo walked closer, his eyes as cold as ice: "Following orders? Using the lives of innocent people to maintain a false prosperity, is this your excuse?"

The city lord waved his hands hurriedly, trying to explain: "It was the order of the Lord Human Emperor! If I don't do this, I will also be used as a sacrifice!"

Jiang Luo sneered, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone: "Human Emperor? He is just a puppet of the crystallized magic energy. And you are willing to become his accomplice, this is the most tragic thing."

The city lord lowered his head, not daring to look into Jiang Luo's eyes again.

Jiang Luo didn't say anything more. He raised his hand and a golden light enveloped the city lord. The city lord suddenly felt his whole body lighten, and the evil spirit in his body was completely purified.

"Although you have made a big mistake, you still have a chance to make amends. Where are the other nine magic stones? Take us there now!" Jiang Luo said lightly.

The city lord raised his head, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes, and finally nodded.

The ten magic stones correspond to ten streets, and are also the cornerstones for creating the illusion of a prosperous capital. Only by destroying these magic stones can the true face of the capital be reappeared before people's eyes, and only then can this world line be cured.

The city lord stood up tremblingly, his face still pale, but his eyes were more determined. He took a deep breath and whispered: "I... I will take you there. But you must promise me not to hurt my family."

Jiang Luo glanced at him and said calmly: "As long as you cooperate, we will not implicate innocent people."

The city lord nodded, turned around and walked out of the house with Jiang Luo and Xiao Shuai. The streets were still desolate, with dilapidated houses and thin people everywhere. The city lord seemed a little bit reluctant to look at it, and walked forward quickly with his head down.

Xiao Shuai followed Jiang Luo and asked in a low voice: "Boss, can this guy be trusted? What if he plays tricks?"

Jiang Luo's eyes were slightly cold, and he whispered: "The evil spirit in his body has been purified by me, and he will not be controlled by the evil spirit in a short time. If he dares to play tricks, I will make him regret it."

Xiao Shuai nodded, feeling much more at ease.

The three of them crossed several streets and soon arrived at another prosperous "illusion" area. The streets here were still crowded with people, shops lined up, and hawking sounds were heard one after another, which seemed to form a sharp contrast with the previous dilapidated scene.

Jiang Luo stopped and looked across the street, frowning slightly: "Is this the illusion of the second street?"

The city lord nodded, his voice trembling a little: "Yes, the magic stone of this street is in the center of the square in front. It can not only create illusions, but also absorb the life energy of the people around it to maintain the existence of the illusion."

A hint of coldness flashed in Jiang Luo's eyes: "Let's go, don't waste any more time."

The three of them continued to move forward and soon arrived at the center of the square. A tall statue stood on the square, and under the statue was the dark red sacred stone. The surface of the sacred stone was covered with strange patterns and emitted a disturbing light.

Xiao Shuai couldn't help but whispered, "Boss, this divine stone looks more dangerous than the previous one."

Jiang Luo nodded and said calmly: "The power of the divine stone will increase with the life energy it absorbs. We must destroy it as soon as possible."

The city lord stood aside, with a complicated expression on his face, and whispered: "If you want to destroy the sacred stone, you must remove its defensive barrier. The barrier was set up by the Human Emperor himself, and only the token of the city lord's mansion can open it."

Jiang Luo glanced at him and asked, "Is the token with you?"

The city lord nodded, took out a jade pendant engraved with strange runes from his arms, and explained: "This is the inheritance of my city lord's mansion, and it is also the key to open the barrier."

Jiang Luo took the jade pendant and sensed it carefully, and found that it indeed contained a special energy. He nodded and said lightly: "Open the barrier."

The city lord hesitated for a moment, but finally walked to the sacred stone and placed the jade pendant on the lines on the surface of the sacred stone. A faint light flashed, and the barrier around the sacred stone gradually dissipated.

Jiang Luo no longer hesitated, raised his hand and pressed it on the magic stone, and a dazzling golden light condensed in his palm. The power of rules contained in the golden light quickly eroded the magic energy on the surface of the magic stone, and the magic stone began to vibrate violently.

The illusions around him also began to collapse. The bustling streets, noisy crowds, and numerous shops disappeared like smoke, and were replaced by a dilapidated and desolate scene.

Xiao Shuai stood aside, observing his surroundings vigilantly, fearing that someone would suddenly attack him.

At this moment, the evil energy on the surface of the magic stone was completely purified, and finally with a "bang", it shattered into countless pieces and turned into black powder floating in the air.

Jiang Luo withdrew his hand, glanced around, and said in a cold voice: "The second divine stone has been destroyed, and there are still eight pieces left."

The city lord looked pale and whispered, "Next is the sacred stone on the third street, not far from here."

Jiang Luo nodded and said calmly, "Lead the way."

The three of them continued to move forward, heading towards the third street. Along the way, the city lord remained silent, seemingly lost in some kind of thought.

Xiao Shuai couldn't help but whispered, "Boss, do you think he will suddenly turn against us?"

Jiang Luo glanced at the city lord and said calmly: "He has been forced into a desperate situation and dares not play tricks anymore. Besides, his family is still under our control."

Xiao Shuai nodded and felt a little relieved.

However, just as they were about to reach the third street, the city lord suddenly stopped and his expression became extremely solemn.

Jiang Luo frowned slightly and asked coldly: "What's going on?"

The city lord turned around, a trace of a sad smile appeared on his face, and whispered: "I'm sorry... I lied to you. The divine stone on the third street... is not used to create illusions at all. It is a trap left by the Human Emperor. Once triggered, the entire street will fall into endless darkness, and none of you... can escape."

Jiang Luo's eyes narrowed and he looked at him coldly: "You really chose to betray me after all."

The city lord's voice trembled: "I... I have no choice. If I don't do this, my family will die."

At this moment, the surrounding scene suddenly began to distort, the sky became pitch black, and the houses on both sides of the street gradually disappeared, replaced by endless darkness.

Xiao Shuai was horrified and shouted quickly: "Boss, we are trapped!"

Jiang Luo's expression remained calm, his eyes as still as a deep pool. He said calmly, "It's just a trick of the demonic energy, no need to panic."

After saying this, he raised his hand, and a brilliant golden light condensed in his palm. The golden light quickly spread, dispelling the surrounding darkness.

However, the darkness seemed endless. As soon as the golden light dispelled the darkness, more darkness quickly spread.

The city lord slumped on the ground, his face full of despair: "It's useless... This is a dark barrier set up by the Human Emperor himself. Unless you are the master of the rules, no one can escape."

Jiang Luo sneered, his eyes like knives: "The controller of the rules? Then I want to see how strong this barrier is."

Before he finished speaking, he formed seals with his hands, and a vast force of rules burst out instantly, and the surrounding space began to vibrate violently.

Under the impact of the power of rules, the dark barrier gradually collapsed, and eventually turned into countless fragments and dissipated into the air.

Jiang Luo withdrew his hand and looked at the city lord coldly: "Now, do you have anything else to say?"

The city lord suddenly pulled out a dagger from his bosom and stabbed it directly into his heart. Blood flowed out like a fountain. He knelt on the ground, stepped forward and pulled Jiang Luo's trousers and said, "My lord, I have no choice but to follow the orders of the Emperor of Man. He obeys the gods in heaven, and we ordinary people can't fight against him! I only hope that after I die, if you can, help me rescue my family. If not... then let us reunite in the underworld!"

As he spoke, his hands loosened and he died.

Xiao Shuai was shocked and didn't know what to say for a moment. He sighed helplessly and said, "He clearly had a chance to survive..."

Jiang Luo shook his head: "He is gone. His family is in the hands of the Human Emperor. If he does not follow the orders of the Human Emperor today, his family will be killed by the Human Emperor. Forget it. He has committed many evil deeds. Although he was forced to do so, he has indeed killed many lives."

Xiao Shuai shook his head: "What should we do next?"

As soon as Xiao Shuai finished speaking, he heard the voices of Chu Jiangqi and Yuan Haokun: "Boss! Xiao Shuai! We are here!"

The two looked over to a place not far away, and saw Yuan Haokun and two other members of Team 4 walking towards them, holding a tied-up man in their hands. It was obvious that they had just come from a city not far away.

Jiang Luo asked: "What's the situation over there?"

Yuan Haokun said angrily, "Don't mention it. We passed by a small city and found a Colosseum there! Not only did they let monsters fight with monsters, but they also let humans fight monsters and humans fight with humans! The scene was extremely bloody! There were even underage children among them... We couldn't stand it, so we demolished the Colosseum and arrested the crazy boss."
