Chapter 327 The battle for seats in the Zhengshen Church
‘In the previous life, the Red Apple Church was excluded from the seat of the Righteous God Church, and many large-scale supernatural forces competed for the vacant position... Only two of them had the last laugh, the Natural Sect and the Mutual Aid Association. ’
Chen Lun tried to remember.
‘Not only because these two extraordinary forces believe in the two true gods, the Lady of the Sacred Tree of Nature, and the God of Conspiracy, the Bone Burial Old Man… but also because they are the strongest. ’
His eyes were overlooking the auction stage outside the transparent one-way window, and he was rubbing his chin.
His eyes gradually narrowed.
'However, for unknown reasons at the time, the Sun King personally issued a decree excluding the Nature Sect... leaving only the Mutual Aid Association. So the two factions within the Mutual Aid Association, the Black Knife Brotherhood and the Murder Club, fought against each other and wanted to compete. A true position of power...'
Chen Lun shook his head.
'Unfortunately, the Murder Club was originally in sight of winning, but due to the intervention of a third party, the Black Knife Brotherhood counterattacked, and both sides suffered losses... No force in the vacant Zhengshen Church won, so the matter was abandoned and the matter was settled. I remember that third party force, an organization suspected of being an extraordinary person with a destiny path, called the Twilight Tea Party. ’
In a large box separated by a wall.
The old female from the Madman School continued:
"This time, there are more than a dozen large-scale supernatural forces competing for the vacant seat of the Righteous God Church, including even natural sects and mutual aid associations..."
"Natural sects and mutual aid societies?!"
The asylum's two senior investigators looked surprised.
"Aren't they all evil organizations that rank at the top of the empire's list of dangers?"
Team leader Yamos glanced at his subordinates and opened his mouth slightly, but did not explain.
Some news is only known to the top, and most people below only see the surface.
The Natural Cult has been suppressed by the empire, sealed deep in the Coleridge Forest in the north, and strictly restricts their preaching outside... and the Mutual Aid Society, because its members are spread across the empire, disguised as nobles, wealthy businessmen, and the middle class His identity is behind many large-scale mysterious and dangerous incidents, so he has always been vigilant and hunted by the shelter.
But things are different now.
With the Red Apple Church in turmoil and the True God Church vacant, the "problems" of the Natural Sect and the Mutual Aid Association are nothing... As long as they can help the empire eliminate the red disaster, even if they are given seats in the True God Church, It doesn't matter.
Even though the Bone Burial Old Man is recognized as an "evil god" in the mysterious field, as long as the Mutual Aid Association finally wins the seat and the empire says that he is the righteous god, then he will be the righteous god.
This is what the Sun Royal Family means.
It may also be because the "conservatives" at the top of the asylum have temporarily gained the upper hand.
Rather than drinking poison to quench thirst, it's better to fight poison with poison, a helpless act in a critical situation.
"Oh, the Hailing Tuan supports the Natural Sect."
The old female from the Madman School said calmly.
Mobusi, the chief priest of the Hailing Regiment, smiled and did not admit it, but just joked:
"Ms. Abigail, you can't say this nonsense. Could it be that the 'mentor group' of your school of madmen got inspiration from the ancient magic wonders? For example, you heard some ravings, saw some illusions, and saw big giant trees growing on the sea. Trees and the like, so you think we want to support the natural faction to compete for seats in the Zhengshen Church?”
The expressions of the three members of the Madman School remained unchanged, but their eyes became slightly colder.
Just then.
Everyone in the large box suddenly noticed something. The leaders Yamos, Mobusi and Abigail turned their heads suddenly and looked at the soundproof wall on one side... To be precise, they looked at where Chen Lun was. box.
"Huh? There are fluctuations in the spiritual world...Who is that person next to you?"
Yamos frowned.
He immediately waved his hand and ordered his two senior investigators to investigate.
"Go out and see who the guest next door is."
"Yes, Leader Yamos."

Chen Lun raised his eyebrows.
Looking at the spiritual messenger who suddenly appeared in front of him, he felt a little surprised.
"I'm sorry, sir, to come to you at this time and this place..."
The faceless waiter held the tray, with a clean white towel draped on his arm, and said in an apologetic tone.
It also seemed to be aware of the identities of the people next door, and deliberately did not say Chen Lun's pseudonym "Qiao Ke".
"It's just because the situation is urgent, so I came to deliver a letter to you. Please forgive me..."
The faceless waiter said as he handed a letter on the tray to Chen Lun.
"The club's top brass, the 'Knights of the Round Table,' issued an important order, asking every member to participate in the hunt for the Red Apple Church. The specific reasons are described in detail in the letter... In addition, although this task is mandatory, it is also very rewarding. Please do more, sir." Consider.”
It added in a low voice:
"You seem to be particularly good at this, and I think it would be a perfect fit for you."
The faceless waiter seemed to chuckle.
Immediately, it didn't stay any longer and left directly without asking for a tip.
Chen Lun held the letter in his hand and roughly guessed what it was about.
He turned his head and glanced at Floy, and found that she was sitting obediently aside, neither asking questions nor disturbing him. Chen Lun smiled, scratched the paint with his fingers, and took out the letter paper to check.
A long while.
He put away the letter and secretly said that it was true.
‘The Murder Club has begun to compete for seats in the Orthodox Church. The most important indicator of the empire is the performance of hunting down the Red Apple Church... Whichever party contributes the most will be most likely to fill the vacant seats. ’
Chen Lun had a thoughtful expression on his face.
‘The rewards are indeed generous. The Murder Club will give out a large amount of extraordinary wine, gold pounds, mysterious substances, strange objects and even extraordinary knowledge as rewards... At the same time, members are reminded that if they refuse to participate in the war, they will be expelled from the club membership. ’
He suddenly remembered those memories from his previous life. The Murder Club fought to the end and was only one step away from the seats. The only real opponent was the Black Knife Brotherhood. However, due to the intervention of the "Twilight Tea Party", they fell short and both sides suffered losses.
But this result has not happened yet, only Chen Lun knows!
'My identity as a member of the Murder Club is of great use to me and cannot be discarded at will. This will require me to participate in the war, but it is exactly what I want. It not only weakens the power of the Red Apple Church, but also increases the contribution to the main mission. The club has many rewards... So can I contribute more in this big event... If I finally help the Murder Club sit on the throne of the Orthodox Church...'
Chen Lun was startled by his idea, but immediately fell silent and began to weigh the pros and cons.
Assuming that the Murder Club succeeds, the Black Knife Brotherhood, another faction of the mutual aid association, will come to an end, and the identities of all club killers will also be officially recognized... Even Chen Lun's vest "Qiao Ke", the empire's S-class wanted criminal, will not Will be held accountable by the authorities again.
This is the energy of the Righteous God Church, and it is also the compromise that the empire must make.
As a "Gold Cup-level" member of the Murder Club, Chen Lun's status is not low. He will also rise in time and become a middle-level and high-level member of the Zhengshen Church... Many difficulties will be solved and things will become easier.
‘If you contribute a lot in this matter, based on my understanding of the Murder Club, they will definitely give you adequate rewards and respect... My path to becoming stronger will also be accelerated a lot! Even the circus also has a strong backer and guarantee! ’
His eyes twinkled.
‘The most important point is that I have a prophetic advantage... At present, only I know that the Murder Club will have the last laugh, and behind the Black Knife Brotherhood, there is the support of the Twilight Tea Party. I may be able to use this advantage to reverse the final outcome. ’
A ball of orange-red extraordinary fire ignited in Chen Lun's hand, burning the letter.
He couldn't help but sigh:
"To stir the thread of fate? Did fate choose me, or did I choose fate..."
Floy sat aside, smiling and looking at him slightly curiously.
I don’t know why Chen Lun had such emotion.
"Floy, the circus may be making its official debut."
Chen Lun turned his head and said to her with a smile.
"I need your help."
"Yeah."
Floy responded without thinking.
She nodded, put her hand on Chen Lun's, and said in an ethereal and pleasant voice:
"No matter what you want to do, I will support you and always follow you."
Chen Lun held her hand with his backhand.
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
Tuk Tuk...
Chen Lun curled his lips and spoke calmly:
"Please come in."
The door to the private room was opened, and two senior investigators disguised as waiters walked in carrying trays.
"Sir, this is the wine for the dinner. I wish you and this beautiful lady a pleasant evening."
Chen Lun noticed that the pupils of the two waiters shrank slightly after seeing him, and the hands holding the plates trembled slightly for a moment.
He chuckled to himself at this poor disguise.
In fact, through the little white snake who sneaked next door, Chen Lun had already known about the arrival of the faceless waiter, and had already attracted their attention, so he sent the two guys in front of him to explore.
But he didn't shy away from it either.
After all, as Jack Spate, he is not a heinous person. On the contrary, he is still an upright extraordinary person in the wild, with nothing shady... Moreover, his purpose of coming to Peacock City has been achieved, and he has obtained three opportunities. You can leave.
"Thank you."
Chen Lun took the two glasses of wine and thanked him, but suddenly he said:
"But the arrival of you two made my night unhappy."
The two senior investigators were slightly startled, looked at each other without trace, and then said with a dry smile:
"Hug... I'm sorry to disturb you, we're going out right now."
After saying that, the two people left in a hurry, but as soon as they reached the door, Chen Lun's voice came from behind:
"Send my regards to your team leader Yamos."
The two stopped suddenly.
They realized that Jack had already seen through their identity and even knew about the team leader's arrival.
After taking a deep breath, the two senior investigators slowly turned around, touched their chests and saluted.
"Okay, Mr. Jack Spate, we will definitely convey it... Also, I apologize to you again."
Their tone was extremely respectful.
Chen Lun waved his hand indifferently. (End of chapter)
