Chapter 203: Creating Rules (1)

"Right now, you have the best opportunity to capture Er Gou. Even if you can't catch him, at least you'll earn a great merit."

"Are you asking me to use Xiao Xue as bait?"

"Exactly." Gu Yi nodded and said, "You can completely leak the news to Er Gou that Constantine III is coming."

"It might not work. Da Luoshan inviting Constantine for drinks is obviously a power for sex transaction. What if the police find out? What if Da Luoshan blames me and tries to catch me?"

Gu Yi fell silent, but Kanon immediately picked up the conversation.

"Don't think about Da Luoshan and Constantine with the mindset of a low-level citizen. As high-level citizens, they have immunity. Even if they break the law, they only need to pay the sentence.

Even if they are sentenced to ten million years, at most, they can make up for that ten million years in just one day.

They don't care about the police or the rules. What they care about is their reputation and their safety.

Think about it, if Er Gou finds out about the news himself and successfully assassinates Constantine while lurking at the nightclub, how much blame will the local security officials take?

You're actually just helping them."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yi's eyes brightened, and he continued to add:

"Kanon is right, but not entirely.

Given Er Gou's ability, he is very likely to investigate Constantine's movements on his own. Even if he doesn't, he might notice something unusual while staking out the red-light district daily.

But if you take the initiative to inform Er Gou about this, and at the same time inform the police to ambush him, then the credit for capturing Er Gou will go to you.

However, this will also make you a whistleblower.

This power for sex transaction is not something that can be openly discussed. Although it's an open secret, if you blow this thing up, it will ultimately be disgraceful. If Constantine and Da Luoshan want to hold someone accountable, the police will definitely push you out.

This is a danger, but also an opportunity."

"Constantine and Da Luoshan will either greatly promote you or kill you out of anger and humiliation. How it turns out depends entirely on your performance.

If you can ensure Constantine's safety while successfully capturing Er Gou, you'll undoubtedly be the first adventurer to be promoted to a second-class citizen."

"That makes sense."

Dennis nodded, feeling that this plan was feasible and even more reliable than Gu Yi's plan to write novels to change public opinion.

The three continued to discuss some details until time ran out. Ne/w novel chapters are published at novelhall.com

...

Sizzle——

Gu Yi opened his eyes and was back at the police station.

Er Gou thought for a while, then turned to Gu Yi, "You're right. That might be the simplest method. But the nightclub isn't under my control. Getting someone out of there won't be easy."

"You can't do it, but that doesn't mean I can't. Just tell me how to block the robots' sensors so I can ignore the rules."

"Come with me."

Er Gou led Gu Yi to the workshop, where the mysterious device was placed on the floor.

"Pull the ring."

"It won't electrocute me, will it?"

"Don't worry, I'm here."

Er Gou, holding the device, said, "Actually, what's written on this device doesn't explain its essence. Its name is the Rule Creator, and its true function is to create a rule."

"What do you mean?"

"For example, I created a rule that in my territory, from 9:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., all Wapeng's rules are invalid, but at the same time, I can never have freedom, love, or family.

The more powerful the rule, the more restrictions there are."

"If your goal is merely to bypass rule c-034, then your limitations will be much less severe. However, what those specific limitations are, I don't know. It depends on you."

Rule c-034: It is forbidden to use any kind of weird power in any location.

In a previous deduction, Gu Yi was sentenced to ten thousand years for violating c-034.

Er Gou gained absolute freedom within a fixed range and time, but he lost the chance to become a high-level citizen, his wife died, and his daughter grew estranged. His complete loss of rationality when it came to his daughter was evidently influenced by the rule.

Thinking of how the "deceased" Chen Zeyu decisively abandoned his parents, Gu Yi suddenly felt that Er Gou's current situation was understandable.

"What should I do?"

"Hold the ring and silently state your request in your mind."

"Alright."

Gu Yi reached out and grasped the ring, and an electric current wrapped around his forearm. However, he couldn't let go, as the ring's immense suction held him firmly.

"Don't worry, this is normal."

As Er Gou spoke, he broke open a wooden crate and tossed a large amount of t-091 ore into the feeding port.

The current gradually stabilized. Though it looked intimidating, Gu Yi was unharmed. He closed his eyes, attempting to use his talent, but he saw nothing but emptiness.

"Please state your rule."

A mechanical voice echoed in Gu Yi's mind.

Seeing this, Gu Yi silently repeated in his mind, "Let me ignore rule c-034."
