Chapter 145 Black Messenger Square (two in one)
Floy's senses were fully activated and he was always paying attention to Chen Lun's expression.
There was a slight hint of nervousness on her pretty face.
As the creator of this strange thing, she naturally knows its information.
Hmm... It can be said to be a bit tasteless.
The restrictions on charm value are okay, and Floy thinks he is fully qualified to use it.
But the fragrance it sprays does not distinguish between friend and foe, which directly establishes its practicality and almost zero tone.
This knife of mine is a poisonous blade coated with poison, Chiliu...
After spraying the perfume, the first person to fall down was myself, sleeping more soundly than a baby, but the sequelae may be a bit serious, after all, it is an extraordinary toxin that corrodes the soul.
And I will fall into insomnia the next day, which is a bit torturous.
"What a nice trick, Floy."
Chen Lun played with the perfume bottle, slowly rubbed the carved octopus pattern on it with his thumb, and said to her with a smile.
Floy was slightly startled.
She didn't expect that she would receive compliments.
Shaking her head slightly, she said:
"This artifact is indistinguishable from me and my enemy. You'd better not use it...I'm sorry, I wasted those materials."
"Oh, no, no, it's really good. It suits me very well."
Chen Lun comforted.
He gently shook the perfume bottle in his hand and said with a smile:
"I have special resistance, and its toxins cannot harm me... In this way, its shortcomings are no longer shortcomings."
With [Hell Resistance], I not only have high fire resistance, but also high poison resistance. [Restin's Perfume] is perfect for myself.
"I see...that's great."
Floy breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but smile.
Chen Lun looked at the sweat beads on the tip of her nose, hesitated for a moment, and finally reached out his hand to gently wipe away her sweat.
"You go and rest first, Floy. I have something to do and I have to go out later."
He picked up the hat beside him and slowly put it on.
Then he turned around and walked out the door.
Floy "looked" at his back, stunned.

Inner city.
First Street.
This is a prosperous neighborhood where many nobles and parliamentarians live.
In the central street, gentlemen in suits and elegant ladies walked slowly on the street, carriages shuttled, and the coachmen rang their bells to alert pedestrians.
A huge iron mailbox painted with orange-red paint stands on the street. This is a public mailbox. A special postman comes to check it every day and takes out letters for delivery.
A tall man in black dress slowly walked to the mailbox and stuffed the two letters in his hands into the two openings of the mailbox.
He pulled up the brim of his hat, held his silver cane and left.
Not long after, there happened to be a postman riding a pedal bicycle with large and small wheels. This mechanical means of transportation has no chains and relies purely on leg power to step on the pedals of the large wheel in front to drive forward.
Because it is not popular yet, it is relatively rare, and passersby glanced at it a few times.
The postman struggled to brake with his legs and stopped on the side of the road. He wiped his sweat and ran to the mailbox, took out the key, opened the lock, and counted the letters inside.
When he picked up the letter numbered "705302X", there was no expression on his face, but he naturally put it into the inner pocket of his backpack.
Immediately he took out a pee pad, took out the pen from his breast pocket, opened a page and wrote:
"——Team Leader Meng Na, your letter has been received."
Soon, below this line of words, words appeared out of thin air stroke by stroke:
"——Okay, deliver it to me as soon as possible."
The postman put away the pen and paper calmly, as if he had finished recording the letter.
He did not leave in a hurry, but continued to count the letters, no different from an ordinary postman.
"This is a letter from Pompeii."
He picked up a letter again, nodded, and put it away in categories.
After a while, he finished all the work, closed the lid of the mailbox and locked it. Get on that bike, sway comically, pedal the big front wheel, and drive away quickly.

A few days later.
A busy commercial street with an inconspicuous building on the side of the road.
There was a knock on the door of the room on the top floor.
Tuk Tuk...
"Please come in."
A cold female voice came from inside.
The door was opened, and a tall bearded man walked in. After seeing the short-haired woman sitting behind the huge desk, he touched his chest and bowed slightly.
"Team leader Mona, Ralph is here to report."
Meng Na seemed very happy, showed a smile, stood up and walked over.
"Senior Ralph, long time no see."
She returned the gesture with a breast caress.
"Congratulations on your promotion to [Sequence 7] some time ago, to Special Commissioner, and to Amber City."
"It's a bit embarrassing to say that after so many years of accumulation in a place like Emerald Town, it was only because of the appearance of a group of life-threatening lunatics that I realized something and completed the ritual...
Fossil City specially conveyed the teacher's order for me to come here to assist you. ”
Ralph looked at the young woman in front of him and sighed secretly.
As one of the many students under the teacher, he belongs to the most inconspicuous group, but he graduated many years earlier than Mona.
Later I heard that the teacher had accepted a student named Meng Na and admired her very much. What is even more surprising is that this student is determined not to step into the mysterious realm and decides to fight against the extraordinary with a mortal body.
Almost everyone thought her belief was stupid and sensational, but Ralph knew that it was related to Mona's life experience.
Her father, Tang En, was originally an investigator who spent his entire life fighting against evil supernatural beings and suppressing wild monsters. But mortals are fragile after all. As time went by, most of Tang En's colleagues in the group died in the line of duty, and the remaining ones were disabled and retired.
This made Tang En extremely eager for extraordinary power, believing that only by being promoted to extraordinary could he better maintain the stability of the empire.
Tang En's boss at that time gave him an opportunity to be promoted to extraordinary because of his years of dedication to his duties and fearless fighting.
That is the [Trick Agent] studied by the Extraordinary Workshop, a reagent containing extraordinary properties. Unlike extraordinary knowledge, it does not require personal understanding. You only need to drink it, and you will have a certain probability of being promoted to [Sequence 9].
After Tang En resolutely drank the [Trick Agent], he was successfully promoted, but this also triggered the hidden contamination planted during the previous mission, causing him to lose control on the spot and was shot to death by his colleagues present.
Meng Na's mother also died in depression because of this incident.
After losing her parents, Mona decided to follow her father's path and become an investigator. But she is extremely repulsive to extraordinary powers, as if she wants to prove that mortals are not incapable of fighting against extraordinary powers.
Mona studied hard at the Royal Academy, honed her shooting and fighting skills, and finally graduated with the best results in that class.
And Meng Na’s teacher was her father Tang En’s boss at that time.
On the day of graduation, the teacher gave her the legacy of her father, Tang En, which was a cat-eye police badge.
"Senior Ralph?"
Meng Na spoke out.
Ralph came to his senses and smiled at her.
"Leader Meng Na, just call me by my name. Since it is an order, I am now your subordinate."
"In this case, I will trouble you more in the future, Ralph."
Mona smiled.
She asked Ralph to take a seat, and then she took out a few documents from the cabinet behind the desk.
"This is the investigation report on the Red Apple Church in Amber City. Take a look at it."
Mona handed the document to Ralph's hand, and then made him a cup of tea.
Ralph flipped through it carefully, then frowned.
"Although the evidence of these accusations is conclusive, they can only prove that the Amber City branch church did it and cannot shake the entire Red Apple Church..."
"That's true, but the teacher has already submitted my report. He has always been unhappy with the church. If there is such an opportunity, the Red Apple Church will definitely pay some price."
Meng Na also sat down in front of him and spoke.
"In addition, their reputation in Amber City has been completely ruined. The church here is vacant and may be taken over by other denominations."
Ralph nodded in agreement.
Next, Meng Na said something again, which surprised him:
"In addition to these, Archbishop Rafa of the Red Apple Church was extremely involved in the Gallery case and the Battle of Bradley Square... He even descended incarnation to try to sacrifice the city."
Ralph looked up in astonishment and saw Meng Na looking stern.
"I did not write this matter in the report, but directly told the teacher through the [Post-it Note]..."
Ralph took some time to digest the shocking news.
He spoke with difficulty, his voice seemed a little hoarse:
"What did the teacher say?"
Meng Na shook her head slightly.
"He said 'got it'."
"Gone?"
"No more."
Ralph picked up the tea cup and took a sip, sighing secretly.
I have long heard that the Sun Royal Family convened elites from major sects to go to the spiritual world to investigate a major event. The Sun King took this matter very seriously. Perhaps it was for this reason that the Red Apple Church dared to make any changes during this sensitive and critical period. .
I don’t know what the teacher’s attitude is.
He thought to himself, opening the last remaining document.
The next second, he paused.
"The new department of Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce, circus?"
Ralph put the tea cup down and asked Mona with some uncertainty:
"You agree?"
Mona nodded, pointed to the document in Ralph's hand, and added:
"Look at the appendix again."
After hearing this, Ralph turned to the end.
The look on his face was even more surprised.
There is a character file in the appendix, named Jack Spate.
All this information was filled in by Meng Na herself.
As described in detail above, Chen Lun destroyed the Red Apple Church branch in Emerald Town and then came to Amber City.
He also successively destroyed the Red Apple Church branch in Amber City and the evil supernatural organization "Circus".
It also specifically notes the heinous crimes of the "Circus" in the gallery case, and the planning of member Beckman, which was the main reason for the tragedy.
Jack Spate turned the tide and saved Amber City, and finally chose to join the Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce and established a mercenary team also named "Circus".
Ralph recognized this Jack immediately.
When he was still the leader of the shelter in Emerald Town, he had an invisible contest with this guy.
I can't say I dislike it, but I appreciate it a bit.
He dared to attack the Red Apple Church, but he did not kill innocent people indiscriminately, spared the lives of his investigators, and showed respect for the corpses of civilians.
This is an outstanding person with a moral bottom line.
"This guy is quite capable."
Ralph said softly.
But Meng Na shook her head slightly at him, which made Ralph a little confused.
"Keep reading, there are even more surprising things."
Ralph flipped through the documents again and found a letter of guarantee from Rosa, the owner of the Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce, and a joint letter of praise headed by Viscount Pompeii, dozens of nobles and hundreds of wealthy businessmen.
His eyes widened when he saw that these people were actually willing to chip in funds to help rebuild Bradley Square, which was in ruins.
And because Earl Bradley was arrested for committing a felony, the name of the square also needed to be changed, so these people decided to name the square "Black Messenger Square".
If Chen Lun saw this document, he would not be too surprised.
Because this was exactly what he wrote to ask Viscount Pompeii to do, the popularity of singing in the 16 o'clock area began to exert a powerful influence invisibly.
"The incident of Earl Bradley frightened these people. They urgently need to find support in the mysterious realm so that they can feel safe."
Mona smiled.
Ralph had read all the documents and had a general understanding of the situation and understood what she meant.
"That's true, but it doesn't make much sense."
He shook his head and sighed.
But soon, Ralph remembered a question.
"Wait a minute, you just said that Archbishop Rafa of the Red Apple Church came to the incarnation and was ready to sacrifice this city... How was he stopped?!"
Mona put a photo on the table and pushed it in front of Ralph.
Above is the scene where Chen Lun has wings on his back and is floating in mid-air.
"He was also the one who defeated the incarnation of the saint. Common people who didn't know the truth called him the 'Black Messenger'. Those nobles and wealthy businessmen were planning to name the rebuilt new square after this name..."
"Hiss..."
Ralph took a deep breath and stared at the man in the photo.
Under the messy black hair, there were those emotionless vertical pupils.
"Jack Speight..."

Another month passed quickly.
Jack Manor, third floor of the villa.
Chen Lun stood by the window of his room, playing with a silver coin in his hand.
It was the high-end token that Rosa gave to herself before she left, the silver ring coin.
Aim at the middle area of the silver coin and flick it with your finger.
Bang - buzz!
The middle part of the silver coin began to rotate crazily, like a silver ball.
The invisible sound spread out, and Chen Lun began to narrow his eyes.
Since he added blessing points to [Natural Favor], his insight attribute has reached 30 points.
Even without wearing the silver pot, he already has the ability to see the spirit world.
He planned to take this opportunity to take a closer look at the spiritual messengers of the Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce.
Extraordinaries of this era, except for those who have special tricks or means, generally use spiritual messengers to deliver each other's letters and items to achieve relatively private long-distance communication.
The time and space of the spiritual world and the real world do not completely overlap, so if you can travel in the spiritual world and master the specific anchor point of the real world, you can achieve an effect similar to a "wormhole" and quickly shuttle between the two places.
The high-level token given by Rosa to Chen Lun is equivalent to an exclusive prop for summoning the messenger.
In his previous life, he had never received such treatment, because it was equivalent to being the "VIP customer service" of the Chamber of Commerce.
The middle part of the silver coin between his two fingers was still spinning, passing through the phantom.
Soon, Chen Lun noticed something.
He raised his eyes and looked upward.
A faint blue gap suddenly appeared on the ceiling, and a pair of strong arms covered with dark green horny scales stretched out from the inside and stretched on both sides of the gap.
Then, a huge crocodile head emerged from inside.
Its pair of amber vertical pupils froze for a moment. In the room below, a strange man was looking up at him, his eyes curious, and he seemed to be looking at it with interest...?
