Chapter 312 The much-anticipated pursuit
Chen Lun woke up from his dream.
Recalling the predictions given by "Dream Divination".
‘The Ancient Reader Team… and some kind of extraordinary beast that can disrupt space… are they deliberately restricting my teleportation and cloud leap? ’
Chen Lun pondered for a moment.
‘And they are targeting Qiao Ke, not Jack… The historical traces exposed refer to the destruction of the Peacock City Historical and Ceremonial Association building. ’
He sat cross-legged on the bed, then took out a brand new deck of playing cards, and once again used "card divination" to further confirm the omen.
Swish, swish, swish...
Chen Lun's hands were intertwined, and the playing cards pulled out the afterimages at an extremely fast speed, making a dense and loud sound.
"The Ancient Reader team has the ability to lock my location..."
He murmured.
But soon, Chen Lun realized that such a question was too general, so he added:
"The Ancient Reader team that is hunting down Spades Knight Qiao this time has the ability to lock in the target location."
Uh-huh!
While shuffling the cards, a poker popped up and floated in front of Chen Lun.
Immediately, it turned over on its own, revealing the red trump card.
The predicted result is yes!
‘Can you lock my location...’
Chen Lun felt a little headache, this time the opponent seemed to be more difficult to deal with.
‘In this case, I don’t know when they will take action, so I can’t return to the winery for the time being, otherwise Jack’s identity will be easily exposed...’
Soon, he started the second round of divination.
"The Ancient Reader team that is hunting down Spades Knight Qiao Ke this time is carrying an extraordinary behemoth that can disrupt space... The space movement ability of Destiny Path will be affected."
Chen Lun asked the question.
Uh-huh!
This time it’s the red trump card again, which indicates a sure sign!
"The Ancient Reader team that is hunting down Spades Knight Qiao Ke this time has a high-ranking transcendent hidden behind it, ready to take action at any time."
Chen Lun asked for the third time.
But this time, a small black trump card popped up, indicating denial.
After Chen Lun saw this card, he did not show joy, but frowned. It stands to reason that the destruction of his spiritual protection magic weapon [Maggie's Tears] must be the result of someone in a high position.
‘Did it interfere with my divination? But... the weight of Wonderland is not low. I can even know the traces of Howard's actions, so there is no reason to be completely blinded. ’
Chen Lun thought.
'Perhaps there are two possibilities. Either, as predicted by divination, the high-ranking person in the History and Ceremony Association just stepped in to find out who the real attacker was, and then left it alone...or this high-ranking person is an angel-level existence. , completely beyond my understanding. ’
He thought about it and felt that the latter speculation was less likely.
Because in Chen Lun's knowledge, angels and even gods rarely show up or take action. Although Qiao Ke, the Knight of Spades, has a "bad reputation" and is even on the Empire's S-class wanted list, he cannot join them at all. 's eyes.
In short, not enough.
Not to mention that he only destroyed the headquarters building of the Peacock City Historical and Ritual Association, even if he destroyed all the branches of the association in Yanbang, he would not be able to attract the pursuit of the angels.
Looking at the memories of his previous life, Chen Lun had only heard of angels taking action a handful of times. Every time they take action, they are involved in a major event, very purposeful, and end very quickly, as if they don't want to waste a little time...
‘Except for the King of Slaughter, I have never seen an angel that is more active... Judging from the situation under Maggie, the cat god, it seems that angels like to be quiet and don’t like to move, and they don’t like to show their faces in the world. ’
Chen Lun thought to himself.
Due to the continuous high-intensity divination, he felt a little tired. He took a look at his physical strength and found that it had dropped to less than half.
However, he gritted his teeth and performed the last card divination.
The problem with divination is the degree of danger of being pursued this time——
Swish, swish, swish!
Three cards pop up and are flipped one by one.
Two heart cards and one spade card.
‘Dangerous, but tolerable? ’
Chen Lun let out a long breath, gathered the cards, and placed them in his palm.
'And pairs of red hearts also indicate hidden opportunities...'
He poured himself a bottle of thirst potion and regained his strength while thinking.
A long while.
Chen Lun's eyes suddenly lit up.
"That giant beast! Extraordinary biological characteristics!"

Because he could not return to the winery for the time being, Chen Lun simply stayed in Jiaoshan City.
Although the Ancient Reader team has the ability to lock its own position, it will not just stay there and wait for the other party's arrival. Chen Lun was ready to destroy the Red Apple Church here, and then rush to the next red disaster area without stopping.
He planned to hunt them all, to get the level up first, and then walk around with these history and ritual guys.
However, in order to ensure his own safety, just in case, he contacted someone in advance.
Mr. Byers!
Byers, who has now been promoted to the Moon Saint, is hunting in the dark world on the second level deep in the spiritual world. In his words, it is to avenge his lover Youlan, because Youlan was killed by the polluted creatures in the dark world.
At the same time, it can be regarded as adapting to and familiarizing with the high-level power, and preparing for the official revenge against Terrence in the future.
Byers told Chen Lun that if he was in need, he could contact him through the token Orchid Statue, and he would definitely help.
'Mr. Byers can be regarded as the highest combat power I can recruit at this stage... The Cat God has fallen into a deep sleep. The King of Slaughter needs a wine that can impress him. I can't make it for the time being. There is something troubled under the witch's crown. Yue Forget about the god...the moon god, this is even more illusory. ’
Chen Lun was calculating in his mind.
At the same time, he was also surprised that he had such a wide network of contacts, but it was a pity that it was difficult to use them. After all, he is still too weak and cannot bring enough benefits to drive these high-ranking people to help him.
‘But I still have the Gold Cup, which allows me to summon the support of the members of the Murder Club for free... I also have a dozen bottles of fine wine on hand, and I can definitely summon a group of Silver Cup-level killers to help. ’
He smiled.
"What gave you the illusion that there is only one Knight of Spades...?"

Two days later.
A few posts have appeared on gaming forums.
"Shocked! Spades Knight Qiao Ke appears again!"
"It has been raining continuously in Yanbang recently. I counted my fingers and found that it was the tears shed by the Red Apple Church!"
"Three cities are divided into cults! Twelve small towns are divided into cults! All uprooted! The Knight of Spades is the real end of the Red Apple Church!"
"The powerful promoter of the main quest—Qiao Ke, the Knight of Spades! Single-handedly pushed the progress of the main quest in version 1.0 by two percentage points!"
These posts are all screenshots taken by players who were active in the red disaster area in Yanbang in the past two days.
The rickety figure wearing rusty armor, a scarlet cloak hanging on his back, and holding a silver giant sword was frantically slashing red-robed monks and fallen believers in various urban areas.
There are screenshots from all angles. Although they are not clear, they are full of violent aesthetics.
Blood, severed limbs, and the hideous and twisted faces of the dead are intertwined into the knight's masterpiece.
Many players even save these screenshots and use them as wallpapers for the main interface of their sleep cabins. I can’t say that he is handsome, I can only say that he has hit the sweet spots of many male players.
Can you be unhappy if you chop the version BOSS forces like melon rinds?
Whenever these male players look at the screenshots, they seem to be able to put themselves into it, wishing they could bring a kitchen knife to find trouble with the Red Apple Church.
In addition, one thing that is being discussed hotly on the forum is the live broadcast of the Lost Name Guild.
As one of the three major guilds, Lost Name is also divided into several "project groups". The two largest groups have joined the Red Apple Church and the Historical and Ritual Association respectively.
But now it seems that the lost reputation is about to become a laughing stock.
"Kola Gouba is down! You still have the nerve to start a live broadcast!"
"Is it possible that your colleagues in the Red Apple Church have been hacked?"
“I guess I’ve been killed to the point where I can’t even get online...”
"I suggest you change the title. You are so lucky to participate in the hunt for the Knight of Spades... Is that a mission that you are qualified to participate in? Don't shake Bilian!"
"I was walked like a dog for two days, chased after me, sniffed my farts and ate them. I laughed to death."
Langton, the vice-president of the Lost Name Guild, is always staring at the screen of his live broadcast room.
Seeing those barrages of ridicule and contempt, he felt like he was holding back a ball of fire in his heart. He wished that the guild members would immediately surround the spade knight and slap these little black guys in the face.
Langton was on pins and needles, and took several shots in succession. In the end, he couldn't bear it anymore, so he logged into the game himself, used the guild channel to contact his subordinates who were doing tasks, and asked them how their situation was.
"The guild finally received an A-level mission. This is an opportunity to make a name for itself! Why haven't you guys started after two days? The live broadcast room is full of sunspots!"
"Vice-President, it's not that we are not active, but that the Knight of Spades is too cunning... The senior officials of the History and Ceremony Association have not yet caught up with their target, and there is nothing we can do."
The subordinate had a grimace on his face and was setting up defenses with a group of companions in a small town in Yanbang.
Surrounded by ordinary NPCs from the History and Ceremony Association.
"And we are only responsible for interception and surveillance, so we may not be able to meet the mission target..."
The more Langton thought about it, the angrier he became, and he simply issued the order.
"Don't make so many excuses. No matter what, you must at least take pictures of the battle, otherwise we spend so many resources to build momentum and the live broadcast room will be in vain!"
"I understand, Vice President, we will try our best..."
Just then.
Langton saw that his subordinates had stopped communicating. Within a few seconds, he sent a message:
"Vice-President! The Knight of Spades has appeared! Look at the live broadcast room!"
Langton was stunned for a moment, then opened the game forum as quickly as possible and clicked into his live broadcast room.
He saw the picture through the barrage that filled the screen.
It was raining heavily at this moment, and in the hazy picture, the terrifying knight, dragging his giant sword, was slowly walking from the end of the town's main street.
A group of people in yellow robes suddenly appeared in mid-air, seeming to emerge from the air one after another, and landed directly in front of the knight.
Langton held his breath. (End of chapter)
