"Is this what you get after inheriting the status of the old president?"

For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the thing in Xiao Xiao's hand.

To outsiders, it seems that they have no idea what just happened.

It just felt like they had just put their palms on Xiao Xiao, silently expressing their inner will. The next moment, they seemed to have a subtle sense of trance, as if they were among the flickering incandescent lights. Immediately, they fell from the trance.

They woke up with a start, and a gentle force appeared in Xiao Xiao's body, suddenly flicking their palms away, and everything was over.

The overall interval was only half a second, but when he looked again, he found that the scroll and key had already appeared in Xiao Xiao's hand.

It's like magic, I don't know how it happened.

But I still felt concerned all of a sudden, and looking at those two things, I felt a little excited.

"Have you never seen these things before?"

Xiao Xiao was also slightly distracted, wondering what he was thinking, and turned to look at them.

"No."

The Orochi sisters and others immediately shook their heads: "When we woke up, the old president of Black Gate City was guiding us. Afterwards, there was always one and only him as the president of Black Gate City, and no one had ever experienced the succession of the president.

About the contract..."

"I see."

Xiao Xiao suddenly felt enlightened and immediately gave up the idea of ​​asking them what had just happened.

After pondering for a moment, he just placed the scroll on the coffee table next to him, slowly unfolded it, and said in a low voice:

"I think the ceremony went well. I am indeed the president of Black Gate City now."

"..."

As the scroll in his hand opened, he saw line after line written on it, which was similar to the terms of a contract.

After everyone turned their attention to the contract, they all looked a little confused:

"Ten Commandments for Strangers?"

"..."

While their expressions were slightly condensed, Xiao Xiao's eyes had also glanced at the words above, and he frowned slightly.

He saw what was written on the scroll:

[The first commandment of a stranger: Abandon weakness and learn to play the strong one]

[The second commandment of a stranger: Enjoy the false and experience the true feelings]

[The third commandment of a stranger: fear the city and believe in your own heart]

[The Fourth Commandment of the Stranger: Feel the pain and gain insight into the mysterious source]

[The Fifth Commandment of Strangers: Cherish your own kind and always keep secrets]

【……】

【……】

"Is this what Yang Jia said to me before?"

When Xiao Xiao saw these crooked words that seemed to have some mysterious flavor, his heart moved slightly, especially the first sentence, which suddenly reminded him of Yang Jia when he just learned the truth about this world.

The first commandment of a stranger that she told herself: "Don't make yourself look weak." So, what she told herself actually came from this?

In addition, Yang Jia's relationship with the aborigines, especially her mother, seems to be related to the Ten Commandments.

Enjoy a fake life and experience real emotions?

She even warned herself not to trust others too much. Is this the fifth of the Ten Commandments of a Stranger?

What is this, the survival rule for strangers?

While he was thinking, he turned his gaze to Yang Jia next to him with a questioning look in his eyes.

However, Yang Jia's expression at this time seemed a bit cold, but as an observer, he could feel the vague touch and softness under the cold and hard shell exposed by his subconscious, and even, deep in his eyes, there was a hint of softness.

I felt some nostalgia and pain.

"These are things that the old president has always taught us and asked us to abide by."

Yang Jia noticed Xiao Xiao's gaze, fell silent for a moment, hid her soft emotions, and said softly: "These things can help us learn to get along with this city, so that our lives will not lose focus. Every

Everyone who woke up in Black Gate City has learned these ten rules, and even abided by them for a while... It seems that you have indeed gained the approval of the old president."

"I'm afraid it's not just getting..."

Xiao Xiao thought to himself, turned his gaze to the scroll again, and whispered: "But what if..."

"...He has always abided by these, why was the content behind it blacked out?"

"..."

This is what he is curious about.

The first five of the Ten Commandments of Strangers are very clear, and they look as if they had just been written down.

Once you take a look at it, it will catch your eye and be unforgettable.

But starting from the sixth article, there were large areas of blood stains, as well as some incomprehensible weird effects. Those clear handwritings had been smeared, or the handwriting seemed to be out of control, becoming crooked and impossible to read carefully.

Identify it.

Especially Article 10, it seems to have been daubed many times.

As a clairvoyant, Xiao Xiao has the ability to identify handwriting in chaos, but he is unable to see the content clearly.

But inexplicably, he felt something strange in his heart.

Subconsciously, he released the Eye of Insight, and then the three eyes overlapped slightly.

In his eyes, the continuously smeared handwriting presented an illusory scene of retreating, jumping, and then reorganizing. After changing for an unknown number of times, a clear line of handwriting suddenly jumped into his field of vision.

in, fleeting:

[The Tenth Commandment of Strangers: There must be an end, and we can all escape]

【……】

Xiao Xiao's heart suddenly trembled: "Isn't this what Yang Jia has been adhering to?"

Even Yang Jia returned to Black Gate City because she believed deeply in this theorem and was deeply grateful to the old president for bringing hope to everyone. Therefore, she did not want to see the influence of the old president in Black Gate City.

was wiped out, so he spared no effort to clean up this mess in Black Gate City, but why was the old president's contract altered like this, as if it was done deliberately?

"I don't know either……"

While Xiao Xiao was pondering and even used the Eye of Insight to read the content of the tenth commandment, Yang Jia was frowning slightly: "We have never seen this kind of scroll before. In fact, the so-called Ten Commandments of Strangers have no meaning at all.

It is the wisdom contract that the old president summed up and taught us. It is neither a contract nor an explicit clause. There is no need to write it down on such a piece of paper..."

"Even if you inherit the old president's contract for the will of the city, why is this scroll also included?"

"..."

"Yes, Yang Jia doesn't know what the process of inheriting the old president's contract is..."

Xiao Xiao suddenly understood in his heart.

Only I saw the process of inheriting this contract, maybe Mr. Ye also saw part of it.

So to outsiders, I just communicated with the will of the city, got its permission, was promoted to the lord-level contract of Black Gate City, and inherited the legacy of the old president. But for the old president... in their eyes

Here, the old president has died long ago, clearly dead. Of course, it is impossible for him to see the old president or even communicate with this dead person...

But in fact, Xiao Xiao remembered it clearly.

I just saw an old president who was still alive despite pain and despair.

Although the old man was in a strange state, in his own perception:

He is alive!

And in a state of severe despair and pain!

Therefore, I cannot help but pay attention to the altered contract, and I cannot help but wonder whether it means anything.

…

…

Xiao Xiao slowly let out a breath in his heart and calmed down his mood.

As a keen observer, he was vaguely aware that things might not be that simple.

But nowadays there are many people talking, but I can't ask in front of so many people. I just glanced at Yang Jia silently and nodded slightly.

This matter needs to be discussed with Yang Jia afterwards, or even asked by Mr. Ye.

On the surface, he no longer mentioned it, but looked at another thing curiously and whispered: "What is this?"

Without his reminding, countless people around had already looked at the key.
To be continued...
