Chapter 190 Executioner Squad (2-in-1)
Spiritual world.
In the light blue blurred vision, seven figures were moving forward quickly.
They were all wearing uniforms with black windbreakers.
This is an elite team of supernatural beings from the asylum - the "Executioners".
"Captain Alsop, we should be arriving at the Gem State Amber City soon, right?"
One of the young men spoke.
"Yeah."
The middle-aged man in the lead responded.
"This trip took more than half an hour, traveling from the spirit world of Fossil City to Amber City, in order to suppress 'Akbin Korver' as soon as possible... The chief judge issued a death order, and this person must be killed on the spot! ”
"Yes!"
"Yes! Captain!"
Other members responded one after another.
Their speed was so fast that the surrounding scenery blurred and changed, passing by like a slide.
Thanks to the many urban anchor points controlled by the shelter, the executioner team can accurately shuttle and reach their destination as quickly as possible.
Soon, they saw the outline of Amber City in the distance in the spiritual world.
"Go to the Amber City Asylum first. The top officer there is a student who is valued by the chief judge. As a basic etiquette, we'd better report it... and the information about Akbin this time was also reported by her."
Captain Alsop said.
The other members had no objections to this and nodded silently.
Although the "Executioner" team is not under the jurisdiction of the regular department of the asylum, and does not need to report to the local branch when performing tasks, this is a sign of respect for Judge Rudolf.
At this moment, Captain Alsop suddenly shouted in a deep voice:
"Stop the whole team!"
The members were startled, stopped, and immediately followed the captain's gaze and looked forward.
On the side of the hazy main road outside the city, a figure was leaning gently against the distorted street lamp, with a long black sword stuck at his feet.
This man was wearing a ragged black armor and an iron helmet with a wolf head.
He looked like a knight who had just come off the battlefield.
"Black Knight...Biles!"
Captain Alsop narrowed his eyes and said solemnly.
The knight stood up slowly, clenched his fingers, and pulled out the black sword from the ground with a clang.
"Executioner Squad, I've been waiting for a long time."
A deep male voice came from the wolf helmet.
"Well... six [Sequence 7] and one [Sequence 6], you will all be buried here today..."
"Careful!"
Captain Alsop shouted loudly.
The figure of the black knight has disappeared.
The next second.
An executioner member behind Alsop widened his eyes and lowered his head tremblingly.
A black sword suddenly emerged from his chest, with blood overflowing.
Pfft——!
The black knight turned his back to this man, pulled out his sword with his backhand, and took away a drop of blood.
With a hiss, the black sword swung, and blood spilled a curved arc on the ground.
The executioner member who was severely injured by the sword fell to his knees with a plop, clutching his chest and screaming. But his screams stopped abruptly the next second, because the black knight stepped on his neck and broke his neck.
Gala!
"Moore!!"
The members of the executioner squad shouted excitedly.
"You damn guy! Die!"
The two members had angry faces and exerted extraordinary power. One was covered in black shadows and escaped into the shadows. The other was surrounded by water vapor and his muscles flashed with arcs of electricity as he rushed towards the Black Knight.
This is a [Conspiracy Faction Sequence 7-Assassin] and a [Deep Sea Faction Sequence 7-Shark Fighter]!
"Incompetent to shout."
The black knight grabbed it with his hands and pulled out a man from the shadow under his feet. Five fingers were firmly clasped on his face.
He held the black sword in his other hand and slashed his head. The brilliant purple sword light directly cut through the water vapor in front of him, and smoothly cut through the opponent's entire body.
The Executioner Squad has lost one more member!
"Byers! As a wanted criminal in the Empire's A-level, you dare to show your face and intercept and kill the executioner team here!"
Alsop shouted angrily and disappeared instantly.
But the black knight was indifferent and threw the guy he was holding to the right, hitting something invisible with a bang.
Alsop was forced to show off, hugging his teammates, and his expression changed.
The young man in his arms was alive one minute, but now he had lost his breath.
"The soul dissipated..."
Alsop's hands were trembling, and his heart was bleeding.
These were teammates who had been with him for many years, comrades who had been entrusted with life and death, but now they died in front of him.
Unspeakable anger burst out.
"Captain!"
However, at this moment, the other three executioner members screamed.
The Black Knight clenched his fist with five fingers and raised it towards the sky.
This area of thirty meters in diameter suddenly fell into darkness, and no one could see their fingers.
"Biles!!"
Alsop's eyes were red and he growled loudly.
But there was silence all around, and the voices of other teammates could no longer be heard.
As [Conspiracy Faction Sequence 6-Shadowless One], he is best at sneak attacks and assassinations, but he appears extremely powerless when facing the Black Knight.
This defected former captain of the "Purple Moonlight" team of the Church of the Moon has extremely terrifying head-on combat power. He may not be a match for him!
With trembling hands, Alsop took out a small light bulb from his arms. This was the [Class B Monster - Spotlight Bulb] they applied for from the Fossil City Asylum during their mission to suppress Akbin.
It can effectively confine the target in a small aperture.
The price is to increase one's dependence on light sources in a short period of time and fall into the negative effects of "dark phobia".
Now that the surrounding environment has been temporarily changed into night by the Black Knight's extraordinary power, using this strange thing may put himself in an extremely bad situation.
But Alsop can't control that much.
"I must use this trick to control Byers as soon as possible, and then lead the team away!"
Alsop gritted his teeth and activated the light bulb.
Buzz!
A dazzling light suddenly appeared, illuminating the surrounding darkness.
What made Alsop dizzy was that he saw three decapitated corpses on the ground not far away!
The faces of the three familiar team members still retained the fear of the last second before they died.
The black knight held the hilt of his sword with one hand and turned his head to stare at him quietly.
"What a sickening light."
A cold voice came from the wolf's helmet.
"Biles! I will definitely kill you! Definitely!"
Alsop was furious. He controlled the light bulb, focused the light, and hit the Black Knight.
Click!
A spotlight fell within a meter of Biles, making him seem to be the protagonist in the darkness of the stage at this moment.
The black knight let out a sigh, raised his black sword and slashed out.
Buzz!
It was as if there was an invisible barrier blocking the tip of his sword.
"Huh...what are you going to do?"
When the black knight saw this, he was not nervous at all. Instead, he thrust the black sword into the ground.
"Trapped me with this light, and then what? How are you going to kill me?"
Alsop calmed down, but his eyes were still red and bloodshot.
The middle-aged man took a few steps forward and stood facing the black knight just a few meters apart.
He once again took out a small black glass ball from his arms.
"This is an extraordinary bomb forged in an extraordinary workshop. A small one is enough to destroy you and me at the same time..."
Alsop grinned.
“The whole team is dead, what’s the point of me going back alive?
You're right, Byers, all of us will be buried here...but you too!
Although the mission this time was a failure, by the way, I got rid of you, an A-level wanted criminal, and it was my last time to serve the empire! ”
Alsop was about to crush the glass ball with two fingers.
Just then.
A twisted light as thin as a hair passed quickly, like thousands of flashes of light.
His movements stagnated.
Alsop opened his mouth slightly, but no words came out.
His whole body shattered into countless pieces in the next second and collapsed like building blocks. The glass ball fell and was gently caught by the black knight's palm.
The wolf's helmet turned slightly, looking down at the corpse on the ground, and shook his head.
The light turned several times in mid-air, and finally fell into the hands of the black knight, turning into a pale yellow orchid.
"Thank you, Youlan, my love."
The black knight placed the flower in front of his helmet, as if sniffing it, or kissing it.

Jack Manor.
Hall kitchen on the first floor.
Chen Lun stood next to Floy, watching quietly as she poured chunks of pork into the pot.
"Is that so?"
Floy asked curiously.
"Hmm... that should be right. You can throw in the spices and simmer for forty minutes, and it'll be ready when the soup is completely dry."
Based on his memory, Chen Lun slowly guided Floy to recreate a dish in this world that he had missed for a long time - braised pork.
Floy put the lid on the pot and turned around.
"Is it really like what you said, it will be so good when eaten with rice? It's delicious?"
"Of course!"
Chen Lun chuckled lightly. His original words at that time were that it would be so refreshing...but I'm afraid Floy couldn't understand it, so he just roughly described the meaning.
"You have to wait quietly for delicious food... Come, come over here, I will do a magic trick for you."
Chen Lun pulled her and turned around to the living room.
With Floy's confused expression, he pushed her down on the sofa and sat down.
"Magic?"
Floy asked.
"Yes! Magic."
Chen Lun was thinking that the next rank he would be promoted to was [Magician], so he planned to adapt in advance.
He coughed and was about to take out the playing cards.
"But I can't see."
Floy tilted her head.
"What magic tricks are you going to perform on a blind girl?"
"..."
Chen Lun was startled and immediately became discouraged.
Floy felt his emotions and covered her mouth with a chuckle.
"Let me do a magic trick for you."
she said.
"Huh?"
Chen Lun looked confused.
"This magic is called 'controlling the heartbeat'..."
Floy tilted her body and came slightly closer to Chen Lun's face.
She gently touched Chen Lun's chest with her hand.
"Look, your heartbeat is speeding up."
Chen Lun's breath was stagnant.
He immediately thought of the last words Floy said after being drunk a few days ago——
"You didn't lie to me, my wish came true, because I finally heard your heartbeat..."
Before she fell asleep, she added inaudibly:
"As fast as me."
Chen Lun was silent for a while.
Then he gently grabbed her hand. This action made Floy tremble slightly.
"Floy..."
He spoke.
Floy pursed her lips.
At this moment, a light blue crack suddenly appeared out of thin air above the two people's heads, and a frog head poked out from inside.
It happened to be between the two of them.
Gua!
Chen Lun's pupils shrank and he raised his hand, ready to punch him.
Gua! !
Froghead seemed to be frightened by Chen Lun's murderous intent, and shouted louder.
Only then did Chen Lun realize that the guy in front of him was the spiritual messenger of the Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce, the "liar kid" named Qiong.
He turned to look at Floy and found that she had already left the living room and ran to the kitchen.
"You'd better be fine."
Chen Lun took a deep breath and said.
The frog head blinked a few times in fear, then tremblingly handed over a simple silver square.
After Chen Lun picked it up, it suddenly retracted into the spiritual world without looking back and disappeared without a trace.
‘Inside this are...the extraordinary materials and mysterious books that I entrusted to the Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce to acquire. ’
He took a look at the fist-sized silver cube and found that it contained several square dimensions, filled with extraordinary materials and mysterious books.
This small silver cube is the Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce's "premium package", a disposable item.
When the customer removes the contents, it disintegrates on its own.
Glancing in the direction of the kitchen, Chen Lun sighed secretly.
He then took out the contents of the small cube, and because there were too many, he had to clear the coffee table and dump them on it.
With a bang, the small silver cube shattered into countless parts and then dissipated.
‘What a magical power. This is the special craft of the Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce...? ’
Chen Lun glanced in the air.
He turned his attention to the coffee table, did a little inventory, and found that there were about a hundred copies of various extraordinary materials, and these materials cost a total of more than 1,800 gold pounds.
There were thirty-two mysterious books, and this was the bulk of the gold swallowed. More than 7,500 gold pounds were spent, directly making Chen Lun a pauper again.
This is because Chen Lun and Rosa have a good relationship, so they gave a slight discount, otherwise it will only be more expensive... Moreover, it may not be possible to acquire so many mysterious books.
'Knowledge is indeed an extremely expensive luxury...'
Chen Lun sighed.

After returning to his room, Chen Lun glanced through the thirty-two mysterious books.
Among them, there are five books each for the Sun, Moon, Deep Sea and Earth factions, four books each for the Stars and Flesh factions, two books for the Magic faction, only one book each for the Nature and Conspiracy factions, and none for the Destiny faction. .
‘The three factions of Nature, Conspiracy and Destiny belong to the Hidden Path, and it is understandable that there are fewer mysterious books floating around outside... But there is not a single book on the Destiny Path! ’
Chen Lun frowned slightly.
He picked up two shabby-looking books from the pile on the table.
'The Messenger of the Spirit World specially marked these two books, indicating that their prices are six or seven times higher than others, namely the two paths of stars and flesh and blood... After a rough reading, the knowledge inside is more profound and difficult to understand than others. , should contain the extraordinary knowledge of [Sequence 8]! ’
Chen Lun let out a sigh of relief.
'I originally planned to accumulate a wave of skill points by reading mysterious books, but it seems a bit taken for granted... But after reading these books slowly, I can also gain a large wave of experience points and two copies of the extraordinary knowledge of [Sequence 8] , and deepened his knowledge of mysticism, which is not bad. ’
He stretched and looked out the window at the scenery.
'I haven't finished reading the "Cat God Cult Classics" enshrined in the spire of Cat Town. I should be able to accumulate a wave of points with it! ’

Some more time passed.
On this day, all the circus players who were active in Amber City received letters from a goldfinch without exception.
They opened it curiously and found that it was from Mr. Jack.
The content is concise and clear. Jack said that he once again felt the call from Wonderland. The world was in turmoil, and a terrible disaster called "Pollution Tide" would break out. He needed the help of these foreign warriors... Of course, the rewards were very generous.
"——Everyone, there is another big mission! Missions related to the advanced copy of 'Wonderland'!"
Dongyang spoke in the previous chat room.
"——I received it too."
Morning and evening speeches.
"——The description sounds like a defensive battle. This is much better than the previous blind exploration, and it is more suitable for us! (Excited expression)"
Nugget Gold spoke.
"——I have been cleaning up those infected rats in the sewers these days. I am almost numb, and I have been deducting rewards... I finally received good news! Jack, I love you so much!"
The horse man spoke.
"——Then it's up to us to make the next book?"
Forgot Wuji to speak.
"——I may change someone here, and Kuangbenkuang went to other cities to bring new people."
Dongyang replied.
"——Honey Yuzu can't participate either. She recently took on a mission with Honey Boy and is no longer active in Amber City. If you don't have any candidates, I will bring in another cadre to make up to ten people."
Morning and evening speeches.
Others had no objections.
"Then it's settled, the day after tomorrow, we will gather at Jack's Manor early in the morning...@苏Keyying@Northstar@A happy song ending with a sad ending, please reply when you receive it."
Dongyang said.
Su Keying and Wei Yin then spoke to express their receipt.
"——Hmm."
Polaris replied.
"——..."
"——..."(End of this chapter)
