Chapter 329 The circus officially debuts - Part 1
Chen Lun did not expect that after Meng Na was transferred from Amber City to the Imperial City, she would actually give him a push and recommend him to the Imperial Tribunal...
The Imperial Tribunal can be regarded as the highest-level extraordinary law enforcement organization in the asylum. There are many elites in it, and the selection requirements are at least the captain of the executioner team, the top combat force in each branch, or the extraordinary officer directly connected to the empire.
Its leaders are the nine chief judges, the first-class high-ranking people.
But Chen Lun has never heard of any precedent of recruiting members from outside. This is a military organization that only belongs to the Sun Royal Family, so it is extremely harsh on the origins of its members.
He secretly guessed that the reason why he was included in the inspection list was not only because of his life-saving grace to Meng Na, but also because he had repeatedly thwarted the conspiracy of the Red Apple Church several times in the past and was grateful and appreciated by her, but also because it was now the official The most intense struggle is between the internal "conservatives" and the "radicals."
Perhaps the conservatives urgently need the intervention of an "outsider" to break the precedent and prove that their concept is correct, that is, "co-optation" is more conducive to the stability of the empire.
‘So, I must have hit a critical moment...’
Chen Lun made guesses and comments on this.
Perhaps in the eyes of conservatives like Mona Yamos, letting Chen Lun join the Imperial Tribunal is a mutually beneficial win-win thing, but he does not have a strong desire for this.
Because such a high-standard extraordinary institution is subject to many regulations and restrictions, it obeys the orders of the Sun Royal Family and the Nine Chief Judges. In contrast, Chen Lun is more inclined to promote the Murder Club to become the new Orthodox Church.
When the time comes, I will change my identity and become a middle-level and high-level member of Zhengshen Church, with more freedom.
Moreover, the affairs of the Imperial Tribunal have not yet been revealed, and Chen Lun is only on the list of candidates for recommendation, so he does not hold out much hope.
"I am very grateful to Miss Mona for your appreciation, and Mr. Yamos for your attention... I can only say that I will do my best. It just so happens that during this time, I am preparing to lead the team to participate in the operation to suppress the Red Apple Church."
Chen Lun wielded his silver cane and spoke in a very humble tone.
Yamos suddenly smiled, very happy with his attitude.
"In this case, that's the best thing. The empire is facing the red disaster. If Mr. Jack can wipe out as much power of the Red Apple Church as possible, the higher-ups will have a better impression of you, and you will have a better chance of joining the Imperial Judgment Team. It will be much bigger too.”
He stretched out his hand again and said:
"Thank you very much for your reply. I think the Imperial Tribunal will soon have a more capable general, Mr. Jack."
"It's okay. As a citizen of the empire, I also want to contribute to stability."
Chen Lun shook hands with him and said politely.
"Then I won't bother you too much, Mr. Jack. If anything happens, you can come to me at the building at No. 2 Teminglai Street in the city center, where the Peacock City Shelter is located."
"Okay, Mr. Yamos."
The two parted and said goodbye. Yamos put on his hat and turned to leave.
Chen Lun looked at his back, but thought about how the shelter would react if they knew that he was the "S-class wanted criminal Qiao Ke".
He smiled and shook his head.
'It doesn't matter even if you know it. The main reason why Qiao Ke is wanted is to kill an incarnation of Terrence of the Sun Church. Apart from that, there is no bad deed... The shelter has always been dissatisfied with the Sun Church. They Most likely they won't hate me for it. ’
Chen Lun also took steps towards the carriage.
‘Furthermore, Qiao Ke’s identity is a member of the Murder Club’s Gold Cup, and he is now at an important stage in the battle for seats in the Orthodox Church. It is impossible for the officials to take action against me because of this...unless it fails in the end, in which case I will be in danger. ’

night.
After Chen Lun took Floy back to the winery in a carriage, he immediately convened a meeting.
He told everyone all his plans and decisions.
"It turns out that Mr. Jack is also the Gold Cup killer who murdered the club?!"
Noah said in surprise.
As the young master of the Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce, he is well-informed about matters in the mysterious field. He knows very well what kind of organization this is, and he also understands how high the level of the Jinbei Killer is.
In the living room, most of the people's expressions were very surprised.
Only Alex looked uninterested, Connie looked confused, and Antonio hummed a melody that only he could understand.
Chen Lun smiled and touched Noah's head, and then said to everyone:
"This is a rare opportunity, and it is also the real debut of the circus... Don't worry about the rest, I will take care of it, you just need to help eliminate the extraordinary combat power of the Red Apple Church. If it can succeed in the end, then We will all benefit greatly.”
"Don't worry, leader, we won't hold you back!"
Golov was the first to express his stance and said seriously.
The same goes for Patton and Morey on the side.
Noah and Maggie were a little excited. This may be their first time fighting side by side with the leader after being promoted to the middle rank, and they were full of expectations.
Floy smiled and remained silent.
But her action of standing quietly behind Chen Lun already revealed her unswerving attitude.
"Antonio doesn't like killing..."
The cow stopped singing and suddenly turned its head to look at everyone.
It shook its head and continued:
"But Antonio hates the Red Apple Church and is willing to do his part for Mr. Jack."
"Thank you, Anton."
Chen Lun smiled at it and told it its nickname.
This made the cow very happy. She said you're welcome and repeated the nickname.
"Anton, Anton...it sounds so good."

Two days later.
A giant carriage drove slowly in a city in a disaster area in Yanbang.
On the outside of the carriage, a large black "J" letter is printed and surrounded by four playing cards of different colors. This is the team logo painted by Noah himself.
诱辱辱辘……
The wheels tied with thick ropes rolled on the icy road, making a rhythmic sound.
After the ravages of the Red Apple Church, the streets were already dilapidated. Garbage and dirt accumulated, and they were stiff from the cold. Many street lamps had been broken and collapsed, and it looked like no one had cleaned them for a long time.
Almost all the windows in residential buildings were nailed shut with wooden boards, and only a few were damaged. The cold wind blew in, indicating that the people inside were either dead or had escaped.
The giant carriage came to a stop in front of a temporary isolation zone made of stones and wooden piles. Soon, a group of guards gathered around and watched the carriage warily.
The leader of the guard squad was about to question, but was stopped by several tall men behind him.
"Lord Odimão."
When the team leader saw the visitor, he immediately saluted respectfully.
Odyman was the leader of the shelter in this red-stricken city. At the first moment of the Red Apple Church's rebellion, he led the investigators to fight and organized manpower to maintain order. He was highly respected and supported by everyone.
"Excuse me, who are you? This place has been blocked and no entry or exit is allowed for the time being."
Odyman had the same beard as Golov, but this one looked rougher.
He seemed to recognize the sign on the carriage, but he was not sure, so he asked in a deep voice towards the carriage.
A few seconds later, everyone saw the carriage door open, and a blind woman wearing a black dress slowly walked out.
She did not wear shoes, and her bare feet stepped on the cold ground. Her long pale golden hair was lifted up by the cold wind, flying in the air like fairy silk, presenting a noble and mysterious beauty. Almost all the guards were attracted by her beauty, and were surprised that she was wearing only thin clothes in such a low temperature environment.
A blind girl in a black dress came to Odyman and presented a certificate of extraordinary power.
After Odyman looked at it carefully, his pupils narrowed slightly and he secretly said that it was true.
"It turned out to be Mr. Jack Speight's team."
He stretched out his hand to signal, and the surrounding guards immediately put down their weapons and returned to their ranks.
Immediately afterwards, Odyman asked again:
"What is the important thing for you to come here? The red disaster is spreading, the isolation zone is filled with corrupt believers, and there are even extraordinary monks from the Red Apple Church killing people wantonly... Please don't go in unless necessary."
"Master Jack's purpose is very simple, that is..."
The blind girl in black dress spoke slowly.
"The Church of the Hunt."
The ethereal and emotionless voice spread, and the members of the shelter headed by Odimão, as well as many surrounding guards, were startled.
Hunting Church? Which church?
Isn't it the Red Apple Church inside? !
The terrible red disaster that most people avoid, why do they come here just for this? !
The blind girl in black dress continued:
"This is the first stop for Jack's circus. He will then travel through the red disaster areas of the ten cities of Yanbang and eradicate the Red Apple Church one by one... Please open the passage, sir."
Odyman looked at her deeply, and without much hesitation, he directly ordered his men to remove the obstacles.
It wasn't until the giant carriage slowly drove into the quarantine area and disappeared from everyone's sight that the senior investigator on the side asked:
"Team leader, just let them in like this, will everything be okay?"
Odyman chuckled in relief and slapped his subordinate on the shoulder hard, causing the other person to cry out in pain.
"What do you know!"
He took a deep breath and thought about the information passed down from the upper levels during this period, the intelligence about Jack Speight... A new round of selection for the Imperial Judgment Team was imminent, and this extraordinary person was attracting much attention.
Odimão naturally knew about this man's past deeds, and a glimmer of hope arose from this.
In the past two months, the once prosperous city has become a mess, and countless civilians have died tragically. The other two Zhengshen Churches have not been able to work hard and have just watched from the sidelines. Only I can lead the shelter to fight wits and courage with the Red Apple Church, but I am also physically and mentally exhausted. .
"Perhaps his arrival will be a salvation."
Odyman sighed softly, his heart full of expectations.
The Red Apple Church is so powerful that even the shelter leader feels powerless.
After hearing the team leader's soft sigh, the men around Odimand all had a weird emotion. Can the Red Apple Church, which can't even compete with the asylum, be solved by just the people in the carriage? ! Who are they? !
