School flower's personal master

Chapter 13029

Zhang Baiyu pondered: "On the surface, it seems to be deliberately trying to induce the adults to choose the second option."

Lin Yi grinned: "If someone is really manipulating things behind the scenes, then this isn't an option, it's a trap."

The image of Jiang Wushe flashed through his mind subconsciously.

As a unique existence in the world, the Immortal Divine Gear naturally possesses great special characteristics. Normally, even the most skilled Divine Gear synthesizers cannot exert any influence on it.

While Jiang Wushe's level was certainly not low, Lin Yi really didn't believe that he could reach such a level.

Lin Yi changed the subject: "Of course, there is another possibility, which is that we are both overthinking it."

"The two options it set are just that absurd. Many things in the world are not logical. Even if it is an immortal divine equipment, it is hard to say that it is without any loopholes."

As the two were discussing, Zhang Baiyu suddenly received a message and his expression changed: "My lord, there has been a riot in the Heavenly Prison!"

Lin Yi looked up at him: "What's going on?"

Zhang Baiyu said in a deep voice: "Just now, all the protective formations of the prison failed, all the prisoners rioted, the defense line has been breached, and more than a thousand prisoners have successfully escaped."

Lin Yi's expression changed slightly.

Those who are imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison, especially those imprisoned at the bottom level, are not ordinary criminals.

To call them utterly vicious is to glorify them.

The simultaneous escape of so many criminals will inevitably have a major impact on the order of the entire Tianjun County. If not handled in time, it could very likely lead to many tragedies.

Lin Yi said with a strange expression, "The array system of the Heavenly Prison is as solid as a fortress. Even if a current array has a loophole, there are more than one backup array to take its place."

"Is it normal for it to suddenly malfunction at this critical juncture?"

Zhang Baiyu shook his head: "The probability of that is extremely low."

Just as Lin Yi encountered the fusion option of personally killing 999 criminals, the Heavenly Prison rioted, and over a thousand vicious criminals escaped.

To say that the two are purely coincidental would be unbelievable to any normal person.

Lin Yi frowned and said, "But if someone really is trying to trick me into choosing the second option, what benefit would they get from it?"

Zhang Baiyu pondered: "Compared to what benefits there are, there is another question that is more important."

Lin Yi nodded: "Who exactly is this person?"

Before Lin Yi could make a move, the public opinion in Tian County quickly exploded as the escaped criminals scattered in all directions.

At first, it was just normal concern, but before long, with the help of some force, public opinion in Tianjun quickly united into a conspiracy theory.

"Could this be a trap deliberately set up by Lord Lin Yi?"

"Release these criminals and let them wreak havoc everywhere, so that he can take the opportunity to purge those powerful families who oppose him!"

"Isn't that a bit much? The entire Tianjun region has already submitted to Lord Lin Yi, so why bother with this?"

"You are still too naive. On the surface, they have indeed submitted, but these powerful families have been entrenched in Tianjun for thousands of years. How could they give up so easily?"

"That's right, they're just pretending. Lord Lin Yi must be able to see that, but they're putting on such a good act that we can't find an opportunity to deal with them."

"Now it's all good. Whoever's territory the criminal runs into, Lord Lin Yi can take the opportunity to deal with them. It's perfectly legitimate, and no one can say a word against it!"

After a series of conspiracy theories, even the people of Tianjun who trusted Lin Yi couldn't help but become skeptical.

After all, this chain of logic does make some sense at first glance.

For a time, the noble families of Tianjun were filled with unease.

Not to mention that some aristocratic families are indeed as rumored, two-faced, even those families who genuinely pledged allegiance to Lin Yi are deeply worried.

They are indeed loyal to Lin Yi, but the question is, does Lin Yi believe in their loyalty?

People's hearts are unpredictable.

Once those in power become suspicious, it could very well be a catastrophe for these people.

At this moment, Zhang Baiyu quickly made a judgment: "Sir, there is indeed someone stirring up this wave of public opinion, but the methods are extremely professional, and it will be difficult to find the source in a short time."

Lin Yi nodded and stood up: "You take charge of the overall situation, I'm going out for a bit."

Zhang Baiyu was slightly taken aback: "Sir, are you going to proceed with the second option?"

As Lin Yi walked, he said, "No matter who's behind me, I'll do what I need to do first."

Zhang Baiyu hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

This matter may seem significant, but given the current strength of the Lin Yi Group, it is not difficult to handle.

Lin Yi could easily suppress all the fugitive criminals by simply sending out Zhou Yuan or Gu Tianque; there was no need for him to take action himself.

However, that would inevitably reduce efficiency significantly.

During this period, it was inevitable that some people in Tianjun would suffer.

Those in positions of authority should fulfill their responsibilities.

Since Lin Yi is now in the position of the Lord of Tianjun, he naturally has to fulfill his duties and protect the peace of the region.

He had no intention of being a power-holder who held a position without doing any work.

With a flash, Lin Yi appeared at the highest point of the New Heavenly Palace, overlooking all directions.

At this moment, the entire Tianjun was indeed in chaos, and even around the New Heavenly Palace, criminals could still be seen running around.

Some were fighting with the Heavenly Palace guards, while others had already stormed into civilian homes, causing a riot on the spot.

No longer do people from Tianjun linger in the streets and alleys.

Every door was tightly shut, and behind every window, pairs of eyes were watching anxiously.

Lin Yi raised his hand and lightly tapped his fingertips in the southwest direction.

Immediately, a burst of extremely high-level energy shot out from the fingertip, multiplying into ten, then into a hundred, each locking onto its target and instantly killing dozens of fugitive criminals on the spot.

This single action shocked everyone in Tianjun who were closely watching the situation.

The people of Tianjun who witnessed this scene breathed a sigh of relief and cheered.

Ultimately, Lin Yi is already far beyond what is expected of Tianjun today.

Even though these vicious criminals were all top-notch experts in Tianjun, they were no different from weak chickens and ants in front of Lin Yi.

If they hadn't scattered and fled, Lin Yi could have easily suppressed them all with a single thought; there would have been absolutely no chance of anything changing.

Lin Yi turned his gaze to the other side and frowned slightly.

Sensing something was wrong, a criminal broke into a house and grabbed a five-year-old child as a hostage.

The child's parents were horrified.

However, before they could even plead for mercy, the murderer vanished into thin air, turning into a cloud of blood mist, leaving not a trace behind.

At the same time, Lin Yi held the five-year-old child in his arms and gently covered his eyes with his hand so that he could not see any blood.

Lin Yi turned and handed the child to his parents. Before they could express their gratitude, he vanished from the spot. (End of Chapter)
