Chapter 1583: Rubik's Cube Beauty (45)

"It's them."

Yi Yingxue recognized them immediately. These were the people who arrived at the seesaw every morning before dawn, relying on their experience as long-time residents of the Rubik's Cube World and their own abilities to extort fees from others.

The leader was Li Chengqiang. Unlike the others, he lay face-down across the seesaw.

No, something wasn't right!

Just as Yi Yingxue realized something was wrong, Yin Xiaofei let out a scream and buried herself in Yin Rui's arms. "Brother, that man's body's been pierced by the seesaw!"

The siblings stood close enough to see the protruding end of the seesaw sticking out from behind Li Chengqiang's body.

He wasn't lying on the seesaw at all. One end of the seesaw had been forced straight through his stomach and out his back.

Because Li Chengqiang was facing them, and dawn had only just broken, it was impossible to tell from a distance. They had thought he was merely sprawled on top of it.

Yi Yingxue's face was already pale, and now even her lips had turned white.

"What happened? Who killed them?" she asked. Though these men had been hateful and she felt no sympathy for their deaths, the fact that lives could be taken so casually in this world still made her scalp go numb.

It wasn't that she was too soft-hearted. If she possessed the strength, then based on Li Chengqiang and the others' previous behavior, she would definitely have taught them a harsh lesson. But she would never have chosen to kill them directly, much less in such a cruel and warning-filled manner.

At that moment, Yi Yingxue suddenly understood.

This was a world without restraints. Encountering such terrifying and mysterious people, ordinary individuals like them could lose their lives at any moment.

Happiness City truly had been the happiest place.

"Xue'er, let's go somewhere else."

Without any change in expression, Zhai Chenming pulled Yi Yingxue into his embrace. His eyes flickered over the corpses, and a cold smile briefly crossed his lips.

"Perhaps they committed too many evil deeds, and someone finally couldn't stand it. It's not surprising they met such an end."

Unable to bear it any longer, Yi Yingxue allowed Zhai Chenming to lead her away.

Tang Guo remained where she was, glancing at the corpses before her voice quietly reached Gong Wei's ears.

"His first time killing people, and his expression doesn't change at all. Impressive."

Gong Wei didn't care about the fate of those people.

As City Lords of the Rubik's Cube World, they knew that the cities themselves weren't particularly dangerous. With enough caution, anyone could survive.

The true danger to outsiders came from other outsiders.

Where there were people, there would always be conflict and death.

They had witnessed things like this countless times and never interfered.

As long as outsiders didn't violate the rules of the Rubik's Cube World, they wouldn't step in.

And even as City Lords, they couldn't kill outsiders at will. There was only one reason to execute them—if they threatened the Rubik's Cube World, broke its rules, or attacked the City Lords themselves.

Remembering what Tang Guo had said—that one day Zhai Chenming would plunge a blade into her heart—Gong Wei felt a chill run through him and instinctively grasped her hand tightly.

He had harbored some doubts before, but now every last trace of them had vanished.

"I won't let him hurt you."

His voice, filled with tenderness, entered Tang Guo's ears and made her smile.

"I know. He won't be able to hurt me."

"But other people are another matter. Just watch. He still intends to do something."

Piaomiao Fairy and Silver Ring Wanderer had also noticed the gruesome state of Li Chengqiang and the others' corpses.
