Chapter 333 Join forces, but not completely together
"I am very grateful to the Knights of the Round Table for their attention."
Chen Lun's thumb gently brushed the cover of the black iron box, feeling a slight coolness and a rough frosted texture, and chuckled.
The iron box in his hand is very similar to the "space package" of the Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce. It is also a one-time consumable. Once it is opened and the contents are taken out, the iron box itself will be destroyed by itself.
‘The club is indeed generous, and such a generous reward will be given as soon as it is given... Of course, it is very possible that the loss of members is serious because of what the faceless waiter said, and such an expression is more conducive to motivating others to continue to work hard. ’
Chen Lun looked calm on the surface and thought to himself.
'No matter what, it's not a bad thing for me... The club has fulfilled all the requests I made casually before. The extraordinary knowledge of Sequence 8 of the Ten Paths to God is now complete. I will take some time to sort it out. ’
At this time, the carriage slowly stopped.
"Captain, we have arrived at the entrance to the isolation zone in the center of the city. It is surrounded by a tall metal guardrail. It looks a bit strange..."
Golov's voice came from outside the curtain of the carriage.
"In addition, local official law enforcement officers have discovered us and are coming this way."
"Okay, I get it."
Chen Lun responded.
He stood up from the leather chair, held his silver cane and said to everyone:
"Connie, Alex and Maggie are all staying, and the rest of us will go out with me to have a look."
"Yes, Mr. Jack."
Everyone responded quickly.
Although Maggie was a little unhappy, she still obeyed the boss's order.
She was originally the team's logistics doctor and was not considered a combatant. The team leader initially asked her to participate in the battle because the team leader wanted to see her actual combat skills... In subsequent battles, she basically stayed with him.
Chen Lun took the rest of the people out of the carriage and felt a strong cold wind blowing in front of them.
At this moment, there were scattered snowflakes floating in the sky. After falling on the body, they were melted by the body temperature, making the coolness even more refreshing. Fortunately, the circus members who got off the bus were all extraordinary beings and didn't care much about such a low-temperature environment.
Chen Lun noticed that the faceless waiter did not leave the spirit world, but got off the carriage with them and stood silently behind everyone. He secretly guessed that the spirit messenger of the Murder Club might have come with other tasks... such as observing himself and conveying more detailed information and progress back to the Knights of the Round Table.
The faceless waiter noticed Chen Lun's gaze and bowed slightly towards him. Chen Lun responded with a polite smile, neither expelling him nor communicating with him out loud.
There seems to be a tacit understanding between the two.
Chen Lun looked forward again.
The spacious stone road stretches forward, and the landscape trees on both sides have lost their leaves and are bare, looking a bit desolate.
The road was blocked not far away by a metal fence erected horizontally. The dense black railings were as thick as arms and six or seven meters high. They even separated the buildings in front and behind, as if they were a row of steel trees growing abruptly in the middle of the city. Separate the two sides.
The most bizarre thing is.
Compared to the translucent environment where I am, at the other end of the fence, the sky is dim and dim, with extremely low visibility. It seems to be shrouded in thick dark clouds, and everything looks full of darkness.
It seems that the fence is the dividing line between the light and dark worlds.
At this moment, dozens of people were walking along the fence towards the carriage. They could be roughly divided into three camps: the asylum investigators in suits and uniforms, the monks of the Church of the Moon in black robes, and nine people wearing brown wide-brimmed hats. Men and women wearing short leather jackets.
On the side of the shelter, the leader was a short middle-aged man with even some gray hair.
"Mr. Jack Spate?"
He looked solemnly and asked Chen Lun.
"It's me."
Chen Lun nodded and admitted his identity.
"I, Coleridge, the top person in charge of the Songsha City Asylum, temporarily serve as the acting chief judge."
The short man stretched out his hand politely and said in a deep voice.
Chen Lun shook hands with him and said hello politely.
At the same time, he secretly discovered that the acting chief judge in front of him was a [Natural Faction Sequence 5-Perfumer]. This sequence is extremely good at woodland combat, and can use the extraordinary perfume prepared for continuous amplification and healing.
"I am very happy that Mr. Jack can lead the team to participate in the action against the red disaster. On behalf of the entire shelter and the residents of Songsha City, I pay tribute to you..."
Coleridge gave a steady smile.
Then, he introduced the people around him to Chen Lun.
Through his words, we learned that the short-haired old man in black robes headed by the Moon Church was a bishop named Tobyin, who was also a Sequence 5 Transcendent. The men and women in wide-brimmed hats and leather jackets on the side are the "Black Knife Killer Group" of the Black Knife Brotherhood. The leader is a woman in her thirties named Roxanne.
Coleridge said nothing about the past misdeeds of the Black Knife Brotherhood, and even had a very friendly attitude.
Chen Lun knew that this was because the red disaster was severe and the shelter was receiving all support. The Black Knife Brotherhood, like the Murder Club, began to compete for seats in the Orthodox Church.
Although the two sides have different purposes, they temporarily come together because of the same enemy.
"It seems that today is a good day. Ms. Roxanne led a team to come to support, and now Mr. Jack has arrived here... I think everyone can take the opportunity to join forces and try to clean up the red disaster in Songsha City."
Coleridge said with a smile.
At this time, Roxanne came to Chen Lun and extended her hand to him in a friendly manner.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Jack..."
Her voice is very strong, unlike ordinary women's voices.
The leader of the Black Knife Killer is also close to 1.8 meters tall. Standing in front of Chen Lun, he is almost the same.
Chen Lun had a polite smile on his face. After saying hello, he was about to shake hands with her, but unexpectedly, the other party put his hand down one step ahead... It seemed that he was deliberately teasing.
"Oh, maybe I should call you 'Knight of Spades'...right, Mr. Choco?"
Roxanne glanced at the faceless waiter behind the circus crowd, with a playful smile on her face.
She recognized it as the spirit messenger from the Murder Club.
Everyone in the circus was suddenly shocked. They didn't expect that the other party would find out the leader's other identity. They must know that "Qiao Ke" is an S-class wanted criminal in the empire... At this moment, people from the official shelter are standing in front of them!
They immediately became angry. This woman named Roxanne not only disrespected Mr. Jack, but also deliberately stated this, which was obviously a frame-up!
After hearing Roxanne's words, both the shelter and the Moon Church looked horrified and became on alert reflexively, surrounding the circus crowd.
"I don't know what you're talking about, Ms. Roxanne."
Chen Lun put down Zukong's hand and smiled flatly.
He would not admit it without proof. Although he didn't know how the other party knew his other identity, he could not win the trust of the asylum with just a few words.
What's more, the competition for the seat of the Righteous God is imminent. Even if he is exposed, he will be participating in the fight against the Red Apple Church on behalf of the Murder Club... It is impossible for the senior management of the shelter to not know the stakes.
Chen Lun was convinced that the official attitude was ambiguous and would not easily touch him.
Just like Coleridge also didn't take action against Roxanne and her party.
Sure enough, Coleridge and Toby, the two leaders, immediately raised their hands to stop their men and told them not to be surprised.
"Ms. Roxanne is just joking with everyone, don't take it seriously... How can Mr. Jack be an S-class wanted criminal?"
Coleridge Circus Road.
He even smiled and added with a meaningful expression:
"Even if Mr. Jack is the 'Knight of Spades', he must have his heart set on the Empire, otherwise he would not be hunting the Red Apple Church all the time."
The subordinates of several forces calmed down. Only Coleridge, Tobyin, Roxanne and Chen Lun knew clearly that regardless of their past identities, everyone now has the same goal, which is the Red Apple Church. .
In the face of the empire's great enemy, everything seems unimportant.
Roxanne raised her eyebrows, laughed a few times, and stretched out her hand again:
"Sorry, Mr. Jack, I don't like too serious atmosphere. I was just joking with you... Let's get to know Roxanne again, the leader of the Black Knife Killer Group."
But there was an imperceptible pity in her eyes.
Chen Lun paid no attention to her, but turned to look at Coleridge in the shelter, and asked aloud:
"Mr. Coleridge, I would like to know the specific situation of the red disaster in Songsha City."
"No problem, Mr. Jack."
The short man glanced at Roxanne. The latter's expression changed due to Jack's ignorance. The original fake smile disappeared, leaving only expressionless indifference. He wisely walked aside and returned to the black knife killers. Forefront.
"The red disaster here originated from the Red Apple Church, which was originally located in Songsha City. They had already planned it and sent additional extraordinary combat forces before starting the turmoil...so that our shelter and the monks from the Moon Church could only Barely able to contend.”
Coleridge spoke in a deep voice.
"Their extraordinary combat power is temporarily trapped in the 'Night Realm', but there is a complete 'Red Rose Team', a Sequence 5 bishop, nearly twenty mid-sequence priests, and an unknown number of low-sequence Extraordinary Monk ”
Chen Lun had already speculated about the red disaster area at the main city level, but now after hearing the information, he still felt that it was difficult.
He pondered for a moment and spoke again:
"Night Realm?"
"That is a piece of [A-level magic object - Quiet Night Quicksand] given to us by the servants of the gods of our monastery for our use temporarily. It can create a night field, weaken the mysterious power inside, and restrict the entry and exit of living creatures. .”
At this time, the old man in black robe beside Coleridge spoke.
Chen Lun nodded to express his understanding.
He thought to himself that it was indeed a red disaster area at the level of the main city. Even [A-level monsters] were approved to be used against the Red Apple Church... Perhaps it was precisely because of the blessing of such monsters that Song was barely restrained. The red disaster in Shacheng continues to spread.
Chen Lun looked inside the fence on one side, as if through the dark environment, he saw the Red Apple Church in the depths.
"I agree to cooperate, Mr. Coleridge...but do not wish to act with the Brotherhood of the Black Knife."
Coleridge smiled with satisfaction when he heard the first half of the sentence, but the latter sentence left him stunned.
Even the Black Knife Killer Group next to them were stunned, and immediately showed bad expressions. The leader, Roxanne, snorted coldly and said sarcastically:
"It seems that Mr. Jack is very confident... In this case, we don't want to be held back by some unimportant guys." (End of Chapter)
