Internal affairs hall, interrogation room.
The winter sun shone through the only skylight, shining on the ground.
The specks of dust slowly floated in the light pillar, revealing even the smallest details.
The light pillar shrouded a chair.
Fang Yuan sat on this chair, bathing in the sunlight.
In front of him, in front of the wall shrouded in shadows and darkness, there was a long table. Three clan elders were sitting behind the table.
The interrogation had been going on for an hour.
"Fang Yuan, are you sure you did not make any mistakes in what you just said?" One of the clan elders asked.
"Yes." Fang Yuan lowered his eyelids, looking at his toes. The sunlight shone on his fair face, making him look like a white statue.
He had already expected this situation.
After all, the other four Gu Masters in his group were all dead, and only he was alive.
In fact, every Gu Master would be interrogated to a certain extent, to help the clan gather information on the battlefield. However, Fang Yuan had already been interrogated for an hour, and it was clear that someone was targeting him, making things difficult for him.
This was completely understandable.
As long as he was human, he would have social connections, and there would be a chain of people behind him.
"Then can you describe the situation on the battlefield in detail?" The elder continued to ask.
"Yes. I used a few days and broke through to Rank two. Just as I returned to the village entrance, I met the Chi Shan group … after finding Jiao San and the others, I joined the group. At that time, they were fighting with King Boar … "Fang Yuan spoke with his usual calm tone.
He had exposed his Rank two status, and without the corresponding Gu worm to conceal it, his Rank two aura could not be concealed.
Now that Sickly Snake and the others were dead, he could make up whatever he wanted. However, Fang Yuan only hid some important details, and most of the things he said happened.
This was Fang Yuan's fifth time narrating. The three clan elders frowned as they listened.
They could not find any loopholes, but they knew one thing — he was making up lies, and they were afraid of saying too much. If he said it a few more times, there would naturally be loopholes. But after five times, Fang Yuan's narration was slightly different each time, but the content was the same.
"It should be true." The three clan elders looked at each other, communicating with their eyes.
However, one of the elders was not satisfied.
One of her daughters was a healing Gu Master in the sickly snake group, she was the one she doted on the most, but in the end, she died tragically in the wolf's mouth. This caused her to feel resentful. At this moment, she looked at Fang Yuan with a cold gaze.
"Fang Yuan, let me ask you, you used the Moon Blade to cut open the Scaly Blade Net, why did you do that?" The middle-aged female elder asked sternly.
"Because I panicked, I wanted to make a contribution, but in the end, I helped more than I helped," Fang Yuan said.
"Then let me ask you again, when you hid in the pig's stomach, did you purposely let the female Gu Masters in the same group block the calamity for you?" The elder asked again.
"I don't know. I was so scared that I wanted to hide inside King Boar's body, but she got inside and fought with me for the position inside. She did not rob me, was bitten by the electric wolf body, died. I'm ashamed, "Fang Yuan replied.
The middle-aged female elder gritted her teeth. Fang Yuan's answer was very cunning, only stating a fact. In fact, he did not say his own subjective intentions. This caused the elder who wanted to suppress him to be unable to find any evidence to use against him. Naturally, she was furious, but could do nothing about it.
Under such circumstances, Fang Yuan could not be judged guilty …
Three days had passed since the small beast tide.
The casualty figures were tallied, causing the clan's higher-ups to have ugly expressions.
In the past small beast tides, although there were losses, it was definitely not this serious. The reason was because of the lightning wolf pack. If it was before, there would be at least three small beast tides before these wolf packs would appear.
In this world, the environment was harsh, and survival was difficult.
To humans, to survive, other than competing with other humans for resources, they also had to fight against ferocious beasts, as well as the harsh weather.
And these battles were often extremely difficult.
The small beast tide was only the prelude, the truly terrifying thing was the large wolf tide a year later. At that time, there would be tens of thousands of lightning wolves attacking the village, along with the terrifying thunder crown wolf head.
The female elder unwillingly asked a few more questions. Finally, under Fang Yuan's impeccable answers, she chose to give up.
"Then Fang Yuan, what do you plan to do next?" Another clan elder asked with deep meaning in his words.
"I plan to apply for the family separation mission, inherit the inheritance left behind by my parents, and live on well," Fang Yuan said frankly, there was no need to hide this.
Because the sickly snake group was almost completely wiped out, only Fang Yuan was left. Thus, he did not need to use the Rank two Gu Master's right to give up missions, and could accept the family separation mission.
The elder who asked the question nodded, then shook his head and said to Fang Yuan, "You still don't understand what I mean. Other than you, your group members have all been sacrificed. My suggestion to you is to join another group. The internal affairs hall's mission difficulty is designed for small groups, and it is very difficult for one person to complete it. Whether it is your family separation mission or the monthly compulsory mission, it is the same. "
Fang Yuan was silent, not replying.
The elder continued, "Of course, there is another choice. You are already a Rank two Gu Master, and have the qualifications to become a group leader. As long as you pass an assessment mission, you can create your own group. Which one do you want to choose? "
Fang Yuan blinked, "I haven't decided yet, I need time to think about it."
"Then you can leave. After you go back, think about it quickly. The reorganization of the group will take place in the next few days. After this period, it will be difficult for you to join a group again, "the elder said with concern.
Fang Yuan laughed coldly in his heart, he would not choose either of these two paths.
He had too many secrets on him, and moving alone was not only safer, it was also more convenient for him to act. Otherwise, if he had to move with others, wouldn't it annoy Fang Yuan to death?
After leaving the interrogation room, Fang Yuan did not immediately leave the internal affairs hall, but instead applied for the family separation mission. In the end, he was told that he was busy recently, and would come back in three days.
Walking out of the main door of the internal affairs hall, he looked at the sky.
It was only a winter afternoon, and it was extremely ordinary.
The winter day was bleak, and the cold wind pierced the bone. The air seemed to be filled with sorrow and heaviness.
"Today is a collective memorial service, Guyue and Jinzhu died, Fang Yuan, do you know?" Mobei and a group of youths passed by here and stopped.
Other than Mobei, there was also Fangzheng, Chicheng, and the others.
Mobei and Chicheng usually did not get along, but today, they seemed to have forgotten each other's grievances and walked together.
"Brother, Jinzhu has been studying and living with us for a year. Come with us, "Fangzheng said.
Guyue and Jinzhu … …
In Fang Yuan's mind, the figure of a young girl suddenly appeared.
She had once fought evenly with Mobei in the arena, but lost because of her lack of stamina. She was a hardworking girl.
However, under death, no matter if it was beautiful or ugly, it was all the same.
Most people would feel that it was a pity, but in Fang Yuan's eyes, it was already very common.
"Oh, she's also dead? But birth, old age, sickness, and death are all human nature, after seeing it many times, it will fade away. You guys go, I don't have time. "Fang Yuan brushed past the crowd.
"This guy!" Immediately, many youths started to feel indignant.
"So cold-blooded and heartless … …"
"He doesn't care about schoolmates at all!"
"Hehe, recently the news has spread throughout the clan, you guys should have heard about it. The reason why Fang Yuan was able to survive was because he hid in a pig's stomach, and used a female Gu Master in his group as a shield. "
"What a disgrace, to drag out an ignoble existence, he doesn't have any manliness." Chicheng crossed his arms and sneered.
"Brother … …" Fangzheng lowered his head and gritted his teeth. Hearing such discussions, as Fang Yuan's younger brother, he felt a wave of shame.
Fang Yuan walked, the sarcasm behind him getting further and further away, until he could not hear them clearly.
His heart was calm.
So what if they insulted me?
If they want to scold me, then scold me. So what if they scold me?
Short-minded people often get angry because of cursing, and happy because of praise.
But in fact, these are just other people's opinions of you. Because of other people's views, those who live are destined to be pitiful people.
In fact, after some intentional people purposely spread the news, Fang Yuan's reputation was already very bad.
Sacrificing a female companion to protect himself, although such an act would not be punished, it would be condemned by the public.
But this was the situation that Fang Yuan wanted to create.
Once you enter the system, you are a chess piece, you have no choice but to follow the rules. To Fang Yuan, it was too much of a hindrance. He needed resources, and even more so, he needed to be alone.
So he wanted to be a loner.
So what if he was ostracized by others? Hehe, only the weak-hearted would be afraid of being ostracized.
If this situation were to happen on Earth, no matter who it was, they would be dead. After all, two fists cannot fight against four hands, social connections were the guarantee of survival.
But in this world, as long as one's cultivation was strong, one person could fight against ten people, a hundred people, or even ten million people. So what if they were ostracized, if they were in the way, they could just kill them. If there were no resources, they could just take it by force.
The rules of every world were different, and it determined that there would be differences in social forms, resulting in differences in human behavior.
The higher the martial arts level of the world, the weaker the collective concept.
So in this world —
Demons ran amok.
