"Walk with me."
Oglock pulled Xiuya up and went first. Xiuya followed him with her head down. The old man's back cast a huge shadow on the corridor of prison 1. It was as if Parliament had been shrouded in his shadow for so many years. Now Xiuya understands that some people are so hard to collect evidence, whether they just want to get rid of this shadow.
Including yourself?
No. 1 prison has been quiet since the end. Several prisoners detained in the prison seem to have disappeared without any breath. Even the sound of footsteps seemed to be absent, as if afraid to break the silence.
The atmosphere was oppressive. Xiuya took a big breath when she got out of prison.
A car was parked outside the prison, surrounded by people in black. They were not oglock's usual guards, and they were strangers even in the city of eternal night. Everyone has a thick breath, and they all have good strength. The scattered position just protected the dead corner where oglock was not attacked.
"These are my people." oglock said faintly: "at this time, the only thing I can rely on and trust is them."
Xiuya knew that her father was not only the speaker of the dark Council. Or the boss of the dark chamber of Commerce in the underground world. At present, these people are only afraid of being born in the chamber of Commerce and have nothing to do with Parliament. This is the first time oglock has revealed his details. Xiuya believes that this is only the tip of the iceberg.
And oglock got into the car. He said to the driver, "go to that place."
Then he said to Xiuya, "take you to an interesting place. For so many years, you are the first person to visit there except Jenny."
Jenny is oglock's daughter, the real daughter. It's just that she's dead. Two months after her death, oglock adopted her.
"Xiuya, do you know why I adopted you?" oglock said suddenly.
Xiuya bit her lip and said, "because I look like my sister."
"No, you're not at all." oglock shook his head: "Jenny is a weak child. She is as weak as a lily that will wither at any time. Facts have proved that this era is not suitable for her, so she left me. And you are as wild as a thorny rose. Under your beauty, it is a sharp thorn enough to hurt people. This is what Jenny does not have, and it is also the reason why this era can survive and live better than most people."
"So I adopted you, trained you and made you the first person to ride a blood horse." oglock nodded, "you never let me down. In you, I seem to see Jenny have a second life. This is the daughter I want, and you have always been my pride."
"But I still let you down." Xiuya bowed her head and said.
"Disappointed? You mean Zuo Fei and Leo?" oglock said calmly. His tone was flat, but he obviously knew everything.
Xiuya nodded.
Oglock laughed: "No, my child. Even if you go on a different road from me, your persistence and your fearlessness are still bright enough to make me proud. Besides, when I gave you a choice, you didn't run away, but chose to face it, didn't you? You have to see that, child, not many people chose to face me after they dared to betray me. You did it, so you sat here Instead of letting me turn you into a body and throw you into a cold grave. "
"What are your plans now?"
Oglock shook his head and said, "what's the plan? Even if Leo and Ben come together, I'll wait for him here. When did I escape oglock? Moreover, the dark Council is the dark Council because of me. Otherwise, it's nothing! It's a big joke that a few clowns want to bring me down!"
The tone of oglock's voice was calm and almost had no ups and downs. However, the momentum inadvertently revealed from his words showed his toughness and his absolute strength that should be forgotten by most people.
The top strength of the 12th level is the truth hidden under the old man's old appearance!
The car drove through more than half of the eternal night city, and finally left the city and came to an abandoned factory plant in the suburbs. Outside the plant, a circle of barbed wire had been broken everywhere, and tall weeds were growing tenaciously, flooding the ground near the plant. The place that used to be the iron gate, now only the lower half was covered, and the other half was lying on the ground, and the iron branches were covered with yellowish brown iron embroidery.
Oglock went to the door, bent down and picked up an iron plate from the grass with the words "warmingwei manufacturing company". He hung the iron plate back on the half door and waved to Xiuya, "come with me."
The guard stayed outside the factory, only Xiuya and oglock went in. They passed through the dilapidated factory, the towering chimney and witnessed the prosperity here. But now, with the flow of years, it will eventually die.
They walked into a workshop. There were no machines in the workshop, only some broken boxes, and they didn't know what was in it. At the back of the workshop, half of the wall collapsed, and only some steel frames were still tenaciously supported. There was a rectangular table nearby, covered with dust. Oglock wiped the edge of the table with his hand, and there was a name on it.
Oglock!
"Here is..." Xiuya said in surprise.
"What you see is the birthplace of the dark Council." oglock looked at the line of names on the edge and said, "long ago, there was no dark Council on the coastline, only one warmingway company."
He raised his crutch, tapped the table and said: "At that time, this was my position. At that time, I was the head of the company. Well, Ben was a new hunter. He would sell me some prey, and kario, the rude security supervisor. Where he was, there would be smoke and liquor. If this bastard was not capable, he would have been killed by those two things."
Xiuya listened quietly. Under the outline of oglock's words, she seemed to be able to see that decades ago, oglock, Douglas, Cario, Shawna... These names that are well-known in the mainland today were still unknown in those years. They gathered together and argued fiercely just to make the company run better.
"It may sound ridiculous. At that time, we all wanted to change the damn environment so that more people could live." oglock smiled: "at that time, Leo was the richest of us. Of course, he was not in control of the family, and he was even a poor bastard who would be kicked out of the succession at any time."
"We are working, discussing and even quarreling at this table." oglock paused and said with some emotion: "Later, Ben left with Cario and Paul. Ben always adhered to his ideal, but what I saw was the cruel reality. Democracy, even in the old era, was just a card in the hands of politicians. In this era, only power can push its own ideas, and only after killing can there be hope of redemption. Unfortunately, Ben thought I was wrong My best friend just left. "
"Father..." at this moment, Xiuya could feel the sincere emotion in oglock's heart, and could feel that he was a man of flesh and blood, rather than oglock who ruled the whole Parliament by tough means.
Oglock shook his head, took Xiuya to the edge of the gap, pointed to the outside and said, "now, my daughter must leave."
Xiuya was shocked and turned her head to talk. But she smiled at oglock, stretched out a finger, gently blocked her mouth and said: "Don't say anything, Xiuya. Listen to me for the last time. Go out quietly and leave. Far from the eternal night city, there is no major general Xiuya in the blood horse from today. My daughter, this is the last gift I can give you, that is freedom."
"There is no right or wrong. All you have to do is listen to your heart and run it through your life." oglock pushed forward: "go, child. Embrace the wider world and never look back."
The hot liquid slipped across her face. Xiuya tried her best to bite her lips so that she didn't cry. Her shoulders trembled gently and walked forward step by step. She crossed the gap of the factory and walked through the ground submerged by weeds. Finally, from a distance, there was only a solitary silhouette of the old man in the factory. Then oglock disappeared into the shadow.
He's gone.
And Xiuya, free.
In the afternoon, with the exception of the ogudus family, all the other members of the eternal night city received the notice of convening an emergency meeting. There was no sign of this sudden meeting. Those members who had heard the news were worried, and there were many who were at a loss. When the members arrived at the parliament hall, they found that the guards of the hall had changed, which made the meeting very difficult The expression on their faces became more dignified.
When the meeting was announced to begin, oglock took the chair of the speaker. Looking at the members below, oglock smiled and said, "not long ago, I received an interesting report. The report pointed out that the ogudus family has taken control of my army and is heading towards the eternal night city with the master of the hall of souls. What do you think, members?"
This is undoubtedly a heavy bomb for the Congressmen who are not well informed. Everyone's faces show panic and confusion, and they whispered in their seats one after another. Oglock's eyes swept around, and only a few congressmen were unmoved. But when he came into contact with oglock's eyes, he couldn't help avoiding.
"This is not the most interesting thing. What's more interesting is that I heard that the law enforcement team investigated my private financial expenditure privately, and behind them, there are several big families. Dear Rambo, have you heard of this?" oglock looked at one of the congressmen.
Rambo, who was named, snorted, stood up and said, "yes, several of our families supported the head of Zuo Fei to investigate you. Speaker, parliamentary resources should not be used by you in private places. You are abusing power for personal gain. Of course, we have the right to know where those resources that should have been allocated to the front line have gone, don't we?"
"Rambo, Rambo..." oglock shook his head with a smile, waved his hand and said, "everyone is an old friend for decades. If you can't trust me, just ask me directly. Why do you do any investigation? Sit down, old man, don't be so excited."
Rambo looked at such oglock and always felt that it was too different from his expected response. I didn't know how to respond for a moment, so I had to sit down according to my words. Oglock put his hands on the table and said, "yes, I personally mobilized war resources. But I can assure you that everything I did was for the future of Parliament. Of course, now I have no intention to explain this to you. It's like a lion doesn't have to tell a flock of sheep, does it?"
"Well, gentlemen, I'm going to kill. Really, your behind the scenes behavior makes me angry. But everyone has worked together for so many years, so I'm very kind today." oglock said faintly: "24 hours, I'll give you a full day. Now, you leave here. Go home, pack your things, and get out of the city of eternal night. If anyone stays here after 24 hours, Congratulations, you will be executed. There is no condition, no compromise, this is not a negotiation, but an order. You leave immediately."
The parliament hall was silent. A moment later, several members led by Rambo got up and left. Then some members left one after another, but more were puzzled and angry. A young member stood up and pointed to oglock: "What qualifications do you have to let us go? This is the eternal night city, and our home is here. If you want to go, it should be you. Guys, are we at his disposal just because he is the speaker?"
The young congressman said angrily. Rambo, who had come to the door, stopped, looked at the congressman and whispered, "his courage is commendable. Unfortunately, he used the wrong object."
"Mr. dorona, the new star of the iron rose family, I heard you are very good at family management?" oglock smiled. "But you're mistaken. This is the parliament hall, not your iron rose backyard."
He snapped his fingers, and suddenly Ronald's face turned red. He widened his eyes and wanted to cry, but he didn't say a word. Suddenly, he exploded and sprayed blood and internal organs on the ground!
"People are so forgetful." oglock still smiled, pointed to his head and said, "just like Mr. dorona, he forgot that there is only one master of the city of eternal night. That is me. You live in the city of eternal night because of my kindness. But it's ridiculous that the guests think the house is his for too long."
"So, who else is going to oppose might as well stay. Before killing him, I pay 12% tribute to his courage."
Rambo shook his head and looked at oglock, so he didn't take the family away. No one would doubt oglock's words. He had planned to clean up, so he wouldn't stop. Rambo still had a lot to do, and 24 hours was not enough to completely transfer the material resources of a rich family. So it seemed that he had to abandon some things.
For example, unimportant family members.
The city of eternal night has never been as lively as it is today. When oglock's cars pass by on the road, he sees people rushing ahead. Trucks are driving outside the city, even causing traffic jams because of too much traffic. For this reason, some families have had disputes and even armed fights. If it was before, this was not allowed.
But today, there are no parliamentary soldiers to stop them.
Oglock returned to his manor. Some servants were packing up and ready to leave. The speaker came to the study as usual. As soon as he sat down, the housekeeper brought coffee. Looking at the housekeeper's still straight suit, oglock shook his head and said, "go, too."
"Sir, I'm not going anywhere."
Oglock looked up and said, "stay and you may die."
The housekeeper smiled: "if the master hadn't brought me back from the wilderness thirty years ago, I would have died. I would have lived for another thirty years. I would have had enough."
"OK," oglock nodded. "How's the Devons handled?"
"All men have been killed, including children. As for women, especially young women, they have gone where they should go." the old housekeeper said lightly.
"Well done. In this way, no one will bother Xiuya."
"Miss, she..."
Oglock paused and whispered, "she's gone and I've given her freedom. From now on, her life will be free and I'll have no disputes."
The housekeeper made a sign and lowered his head.
"Are you laughing?"
The housekeeper nodded: "isn't it worth being happy? Miss Xiuya has never been a canary in a cage. The endless sky is her stage."
"It seems that I used to keep her as a canary." oglock also laughed.
The master and servant looked at each other and laughed more happily.
The unrest in the city of eternal night lasted a whole day. At this time the next day, there were no other residents or soldiers in the city except oglock's own people. Over the years, the income from running the dark chamber of Commerce allowed oglock to secretly cultivate an army. This army did not belong to the Parliament, and all the funds were paid by oglock himself.
Therefore, no one knows its existence.
Now, with oglock's manor as the center, it has become a restricted area within a radius of ten kilometers. His private army has set up outposts and defense lines, as well as many fire points and barricades at the edge of this area. As for oglock himself, there is a flower garden and a piano on the roof of the house.
Oglock sat beside the piano, playing Chopin's nocturnes alone. The beautiful melody reverberates in the lonely city with a quiet piano like the night, just like singing the final Elegy of the city.
Forever, forever!
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!

Oglock pulled Xiuya up and went first. Xiuya followed him with her head down. The old man's back cast a huge shadow on the corridor of prison 1.

She is as weak as a lily that will wither at any time. Facts have proved that this era is not suitable for her, so she left me. And you are as wild as a thorny rose. Under your beauty, it is a sharp thorn enough to hurt people. This is what Jenny does not have, and it is also the reason why this era can survive and live better than most people.""So I adopted you, trained you and made you the first person to ride a blood horse." oglock nodded, "you never let me down. In you, I seem to see Jenny have a second life. This is the daughter I want, and you have always been my pride.""But I still let you down." Xiuya bowed her head and said."Disappointed? You mean Zuo Fei and Leo?" oglock said calmly. His tone was flat, but he obviously knew everything.Xiuya nodded.Oglock laughed: "No, my child. Even if you go on a different road from me, your persistence and your fearlessness are still bright enough to make me proud. Besides, when I gave you a choice, you didn't run away, but chose to face it, didn't you? You have to see that, child, not many people chose to face me after they dared to betray me. You did it, so you sat here Instead of letting me turn you into a body and throw you into a cold grave. ""What are your plans now?"Oglock shook his head and said, "what's the plan? Even if Leo and Ben come together, I'll wait for him here. When did I escape oglock? Moreover, the dark Council is the dark Council because of me. Otherwise, it's nothing! It's a big joke that a few clowns want to bring me down!"The tone of oglock's voice was calm and almost had no ups and downs. However, the momentum inadvertently revealed from his words showed his toughness and his absolute strength that should be forgotten by most people.The top strength of the 12th level is the truth hidden under the old man's old appearance!The car drove through more than half of the eternal night city, and finally left the city and came to an abandoned factory plant in the suburbs. Outside the plant, a circle of barbed wire had been broken everywhere, and tall weeds were growing tenaciously, flooding the ground near the plant. The place that used to be the iron gate, now only the lower half was covered, and the other half was lying on the ground, and the iron branches were covered with yellowish brown iron embroidery.Oglock went to the door, bent down and picked up an iron plate from the grass with the words "warmingwei manufacturing company". He hung the iron plate back on the half door and waved to Xiuya, "come with me."The guard stayed outside the factory, only Xiuya and oglock went in. They passed through the dilapidated factory, the towering chimney and witnessed the prosperity here. But now, with the flow of years, it will eventually die.They walked into a workshop. There were no machines in the workshop, only some broken boxes, and they didn't know what was in it. At the back of the workshop, half of the wall collapsed, and only some steel frames were still tenaciously supported. There was a rectangular table nearby, covered with dust. Oglock wiped the edge of the table with his hand, and there was a name on it.Oglock!"Here is..." Xiuya said in surprise."What you see is the birthplace of the dark Council." oglock looked at the line of names on the edge and said, "long ago, there was no dark Council on the coastline, only one warmingway company."He raised his crutch, tapped the table and said: "At that time, this was my position. At that time, I was the head of the company. Well, Ben was a new hunter. He would sell me some prey, and kario, the rude security supervisor. Where he was, there would be smoke and liquor. If this bastard was not capable, he would have been killed by those two things."Xiuya listened quietly. Under the outline of oglock's words, she seemed to be able to see that decades ago, oglock, Douglas, Cario, Shawna... These names that are well-known in the mainland today were still unknown in those years. They gathered together and argued fiercely just to make the company run better."It may sound ridiculous. At that time, we all wanted to change the damn environment so that more people could live." oglock smiled: "at that time, Leo was the richest of us. Of course, he was not in control of the family, and he was even a poor bastard who would be kicked out of the succession at any time.""We are working, discussing and even quarreling at this table." oglock paused and said with some emotion: "Later, Ben left with Cario and Paul. Ben always adhered to his ideal, but what I saw was the cruel reality. Democracy, even in the old era, was just a card in the hands of politicians. In this era, only power can push its own ideas, and only after killing can there be hope of redemption. Unfortunately, Ben thought I was wrong My best friend just left. ""Father..." at this moment, Xiuya could feel the sincere emotion in oglock's heart, and could feel that he was a man of flesh and blood, rather than oglock who ruled the whole Parliament by tough means.Oglock shook his head, took Xiuya to the edge of the gap, pointed to the outside and said, "now, my daughter must leave."Xiuya was shocked and turned her head to talk. But she smiled at oglock, stretched out a finger, gently blocked her mouth and said: "Don't say anything, Xiuya. Listen to me for the last time. Go out quietly and leave. Far from the eternal night city, there is no major general Xiuya in the blood horse from today. My daughter, this is the last gift I can give you, that is freedom.""There is no right or wrong. All you have to do is listen to your heart and run it through your life." oglock pushed forward: "go, child. Embrace the wider world and never look back."The hot liquid slipped across her face. Xiuya tried her best to bite her lips so that she didn't cry. Her shoulders trembled gently and walked forward step by step. She crossed the gap of the factory and walked through the ground submerged by weeds. Finally, from a distance, there was only a solitary silhouette of the old man in the factory. Then oglock disappeared into the shadow.He's gone.And Xiuya, free.In the afternoon, with the exception of the ogudus family, all the other members of the eternal night city received the notice of convening an emergency meeting. There was no sign of this sudden meeting. Those members who had heard the news were worried, and there were many who were at a loss. When the members arrived at the parliament hall, they found that the guards of the hall had changed, which made the meeting very difficult The expression on their faces became more dignified.When the meeting was announced to begin, oglock took the chair of the speaker. Looking at the members below, oglock smiled and said, "not long ago, I received an interesting report. The report pointed out that the ogudus family has taken control of my army and is heading towards the eternal night city with the master of the hall of souls. What do you think, members?"This is undoubtedly a heavy bomb for the Congressmen who are not well informed. Everyone's faces show panic and confusion, and they whispered in their seats one after another. Oglock's eyes swept around, and only a few congressmen were unmoved. But when he came into contact with oglock's eyes, he couldn't help avoiding."This is not the most interesting thing. What's more interesting is that I heard that the law enforcement team investigated my private financial expenditure privately, and behind them, there are several big families. Dear Rambo, have you heard of this?" oglock looked at one of the congressmen.Rambo, who was named, snorted, stood up and said, "yes, several of our families supported the head of Zuo Fei to investigate you. Speaker, parliamentary resources should not be used by you in private places. You are abusing power for personal gain. Of course, we have the right to know where those resources that should have been allocated to the front line have gone, don't we?""Rambo, Rambo..." oglock shook his head with a smile, waved his hand and said, "everyone is an old friend for decades. If you can't trust me, just ask me directly. Why do you do any investigation? Sit down, old man, don't be so excited."Rambo looked at such oglock and always felt that it was too different from his expected response. I didn't know how to respond for a moment, so I had to sit down according to my words. Oglock put his hands on the table and said, "yes, I personally mobilized war resources. But I can assure you that everything I did was for the future of Parliament. Of course, now I have no intention to explain this to you. It's like a lion doesn't have to tell a flock of sheep, does it?""Well, gentlemen, I'm going to kill. Really, your behind the scenes behavior makes me angry. But everyone has worked together for so many years, so I'm very kind today." oglock said faintly: "24 hours, I'll give you a full day. Now, you leave here. Go home, pack your things, and get out of the city of eternal night. If anyone stays here after 24 hours, Congratulations, you will be executed. There is no condition, no compromise, this is not a negotiation, but an order. You leave immediately."The parliament hall was silent. A moment later, several members led by Rambo got up and left. Then some members left one after another, but more were puzzled and angry. A young member stood up and pointed to oglock: "What qualifications do you have to let us go? This is the eternal night city, and our home is here. If you want to go, it should be you. Guys, are we at his disposal just because he is the speaker?"The young congressman said angrily. Rambo, who had come to the door, stopped, looked at the congressman and whispered, "his courage is commendable. Unfortunately, he used the wrong object.""Mr. dorona, the new star of the iron rose family, I heard you are very good at family management?" oglock smiled. "But you're mistaken. This is the parliament hall, not your iron rose backyard."He snapped his fingers, and suddenly Ronald's face turned red. He widened his eyes and wanted to cry, but he didn't say a word. Suddenly, he exploded and sprayed blood and internal organs on the ground!"People are so forgetful." oglock still smiled, pointed to his head and said, "just like Mr. dorona, he forgot that there is only one master of the city of eternal night. That is me. You live in the city of eternal night because of my kindness. But it's ridiculous that the guests think the house is his for too long.""So, who else is going to oppose might as well stay. Before killing him, I pay 12% tribute to his courage."Rambo shook his head and looked at oglock, so he didn't take the family away. No one would doubt oglock's words. He had planned to clean up, so he wouldn't stop. Rambo still had a lot to do, and 24 hours was not enough to completely transfer the material resources of a rich family. So it seemed that he had to abandon some things.For example, unimportant family members.The city of eternal night has never been as lively as it is today. When oglock's cars pass by on the road, he sees people rushing ahead. Trucks are driving outside the city, even causing traffic jams because of too much traffic. For this reason, some families have had disputes and even armed fights. If it was before, this was not allowed.But today, there are no parliamentary soldiers to stop them.Oglock returned to his manor. Some servants were packing up and ready to leave. The speaker came to the study as usual. As soon as he sat down, the housekeeper brought coffee. Looking at the housekeeper's still straight suit, oglock shook his head and said, "go, too.""Sir, I'm not going anywhere."Oglock looked up and said, "stay and you may die."The housekeeper smiled: "if the master hadn't brought me back from the wilderness thirty years ago, I would have died. I would have lived for another thirty years. I would have had enough.""OK," oglock nodded. "How's the Devons handled?""All men have been killed, including children. As for women, especially young women, they have gone where they should go." the old housekeeper said lightly."Well done. In this way, no one will bother Xiuya.""Miss, she..."Oglock paused and whispered, "she's gone and I've given her freedom. From now on, her life will be free and I'll have no disputes."The housekeeper made a sign and lowered his head."Are you laughing?"The housekeeper nodded: "isn't it worth being happy? Miss Xiuya has never been a canary in a cage. The endless sky is her stage.""It seems that I used to keep her as a canary." oglock also laughed.The master and servant looked at each other and laughed more happily.The unrest in the city of eternal night lasted a whole day. At this time the next day, there were no other residents or soldiers in the city except oglock's own people. Over the years, the income from running the dark chamber of Commerce allowed oglock to secretly cultivate an army. This army did not belong to the Parliament, and all the funds were paid by oglock himself.Therefore, no one knows its existence.Now, with oglock's manor as the center, it has become a restricted area within a radius of ten kilometers. His private army has set up outposts and defense lines, as well as many fire points and barricades at the edge of this area. As for oglock himself, there is a flower garden and a piano on the roof of the house.Oglock sat beside the piano, playing Chopin's nocturnes alone. The beautiful melody reverberates in the lonely city with a quiet piano like the night, just like singing the final Elegy of the city.Forever, forever!
