Chapter 169 When the whole world is a sealed room, the one who has the key is the ‘king’

The last ray of dim light from the setting sun stayed on the river.

The transparent glass in the city was also stained with the redness of the setting sun, and it felt that the whole city became lazy in the warm tones.

However, hurried footsteps were heard in various places in the city, breaking the peace and tranquility here.

"Huh?"

"What happened?"

The people around were attracted by the abrupt sound, and they looked at it with curiosity or suspicion.

They were a few guys in white robes, their faces covered by white cloth with swirls, standing in four directions to block all exits.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't affect my entertaining guests... Eh? This dress..."

The owner of the street noodle shop stuck his head out from behind the stage, holding a kitchen knife in his hand and frowning. He was about to say something, but swallowed it back after seeing their dress clearly.

It was mentioned in the public notice not long ago that this dress and attire belonged to the newly established security department.

"Everyone, don't be nervous. Please listen to me."

Uzumaki Ichiya, who has now become the head of the security department, stood up and said politely and solemnly: "Excuse me, we found an enemy sneaking in. This place needs to be blocked. Please leave in an orderly manner!"

As he spoke, the footsteps behind him became more turbulent and dense. In the red glow, figures in white robes surrounded them.

The pattering rain washed the gun-shaped ninja tools in their hands with a cold and hard black light. In a few breaths, the entire area was surrounded without any corners to escape.

Every resident who was watched felt the increasingly depressing atmosphere and pressure at this moment.

There was a little commotion at the scene, but it was not to the point of chaos.

After all, they already knew the identities of these people.

"An enemy has infiltrated?"

"Are they from the Ministry of Defense?"

"Oh, there's no reason to complain."

"Just do as you say. After all, they are Lord Yunchuan's men."

After recognizing and understanding the identities of the two parties, the noodle shop owner scratched his head and smiled helplessly, and the others stopped complaining and began to evacuate in an orderly manner according to the instructions.

They knew that the Security Department and the Defense Department were both important departments directly under Lord Yunchuan.

Just like the same color as the white doves, the Security Department is mainly responsible for maintaining the security of the city.

Collect and analyze intelligence information related to national security, deal with behaviors and leaks that endanger the collective interests of Dawn City, including preventing and dealing with espionage activities, cracking down on violations of laws and regulations...

They have seen people taken away by the Security Department before, but this is the first time they have seen such a big battle, directly blocking the entire area within their sight.

Not only their block, but also some other places.

"By the way."

The noodle shop owner looked up with some doubt, looking at the white shadows hovering in the sky, and said casually: "It seems that the pigeons are particularly lively today."

At the same time, in the clouds above the Dawn City, which was set off by the setting sun against the red sea, a huge fortress was suspended and hidden here.

"A group of rats just came to the door to test the results of this period of time."

Shennong looked at the projection of the city in front of him with a sneer on his face, and his gray eyes reflected several pulsating red dots on the projection.

Behind him, the core space that was originally only placed with stone seats and extremely empty has become crowded and noisy.

Compared to before, this place can be called the central control room now.

Dozens of air ninjas and whirlpool people are mixed together, some of them are sitting in front of the screen of the sub-monitoring station, and some are recording and exchanging information.

There is no rubbing shoulders, no noise, no barriers and disharmony, and the entire control room is efficiently and orderly divided, just like the parts of a puzzle, efficiently falling into their own positions.

They all belong to the Security Department now, and have changed into white clothes, just like a tight machine.

Although Shennong has to stay here and cannot leave the fortress because the energy source "Zero Tail" of the fortress is in Shennong's body, he still feels very satisfied and happy now.

Because he can feel that he is gradually moving towards his ideal, and his progress is several times faster than before.

Even if he can only take Dawn City into his sight now, he will definitely be able to grasp the dynamics of the entire ninja world in the future.

"The entire ninja world."

Shennong's eyes gradually became hot, and he also remembered the words of that adult, the future blueprint drawn for him.

"Lord Yunchuan."

Shennong, who came to Dawn City for the first time, was full of doubts, especially when he saw Yunchuan's preferential treatment of those refugees, he couldn't help asking: "Can I ask, why do you..."

"You want to ask me why I do these "redundant" things?" Yunchuan interrupted with a smile.

But Shennong shook his head subconsciously. He had already absorbed Yunchuan's "blood". Although he was a little puzzled, he didn't think he would do anything unnecessary.

"I'm curious, why are they rushing here one after another? I can clearly feel the uneasiness and fear in their hearts." Shennong asked.

"It's not surprising that you have this doubt. After all, in your eyes, I should be a 'villain'."

Yunchuan smiled calmly, looking down at the city below, and without waiting for Shennong to panic and explain, he waved his hand and interrupted: "It doesn't matter, I admit that I am not a good person."

"However, I am not the kind of fool, butcher, or executioner who is driven by desire, cannot be on the stage, and is stupid and incompetent."

"In my opinion, only those who have a firm and unshakable belief in their own outstanding talents and unique values, who can do whatever it takes to achieve their goals, and who are willing to stand on the opposite side of everyone, but can still make those on the opposite side rely on, believe in, and respect them, and have a substantial meaning of existence in the world, are worthy of being called villains."

Hearing this, Shennong's expression moved slightly, and he felt something in his heart.

"As for why they still come one after another even though they are full of fear..." Yunchuan paused and said calmly, "When the whole world is a sealed room, the one who has the key is the 'king'."

"When the war breaks out, the nobles sell arms, the rich sell food, and the civilians sell their children."

"After the war, the nobles take back the remaining arms, the rich grow more food, and the civilians can only look for their children's graves."

"So, I told them that I want to end such a boring war and world, so that even those civilians who don't have the talent of ninjas can have the same or even stronger power as ninjas, and let them fight for the future they want."

Yunchuan's voice was not deliberately lowered, and every word was heard clearly.

Shennong subconsciously looked up in front of him, carefully looking at the expression on Yunchuan's face, as if he wanted to see if he was joking.

However, the boy's eyes were so deep that he couldn't understand or understand them. His blue eyes seemed to be frozen, and under the ice were deep shadows, like a deep sea with no end, which made it impossible to see what was hidden.
