Chapter 334: Surrounding the Point for Reinforcement
The rivalry between the Black Knife Brotherhood and the circus was witnessed by Coleridge and Tobyin.
But they didn't say anything to mediate, and it seemed they didn't intend to intervene.
Chen Lun glanced at Roxanne. This tall woman was looking at him with a cold look, as if she was looking at a complete piece of pork.
He knew very well that the hostility of the other party came from the struggle between the two factions within the mutual aid association - the Black Knife Brotherhood and the Murder Club came from the same origin, but the two sides had been in a relationship of mutual hostility and competition for a long time.
'The Dusk Tea Party should have been in contact with the Black Knife Brotherhood a long time ago. The reason why this woman knows my other identity is probably because she is a transcendent from the Destiny Faction who gave them information about me behind the scenes...'< br>
Chen Lun thought to himself.
From this point of view, Roxanne does not hate "Jack Speight", but hates "Qiao Ke", a Gold Cup member of the Murder Club, because Chen Lun's other identity is their enemy...the enemy competing for the vacant seat of the Righteous God Church!
"Since Mr. Jack and Ms. Roxanne are unwilling to act together, how about we split up?"
Coleridge said slowly.
"Our shelter and Ms. Roxanne will go straight to the Red Apple Church. Mr. Jack, you will go with Bishop Tobyin of the Moon Church to provide support. If the Red Rose Team is found, you will contain them as soon as possible."
"Yes, I agree to this proposal."
Chen Lun nodded slightly.
The old man in black robe and the woman in wide-brimmed hat had no objections and acquiesced to this plan.
At this time, Bishop Tobyin took out an ancient wooden hourglass, held it in one hand, and made the prayer gesture of the Moon Church with the other hand.
I saw the lavender moonlight blooming from the hourglass. The old man reached out and grabbed it out of thin air, and a small amount of fine sand appeared in his palm. He then stretched out his hand and spread it, and the fine sand slowly floated.
"Everyone takes a grain of sand and carries it with them to avoid the influence of the 'Night Realm'."
Bishop Tobyin said.
Everyone nodded and each took a grain of sand from his hand.
Chen Lun pinched the fine sand between his fingers and got the prompt from the panel. The hourglass in the black-robed old man's hand was the Moon Church's [A-level magic object - Silent Night Quicksand]. The night curtain in the fence next to him was made of it. came out.
The skin on his fingertips suddenly opened a thin crack, swallowing the sand, and then healed, making it look like the sand disappeared out of thin air.
After a while.
When everyone was ready, Bishop Tobyin held the hourglass high and took the lead in crossing the fence.
Those unusually strong and towering railings actually twisted and moved apart under the faint purple light of the hourglass, leaving a "door" for everyone to pass through.
Chen Lun asked Maggie, Connie and Alex to stay in the carriage, and also arranged eight Sombra Dolls to guard them. Immediately, he took the rest of his companions and followed Coleridge and others into the fence.
At this time.
His spiritual intuition came with omens, and a faint warning began to light up in his heart. Chen Lun reflexively looked at Roxanne and the group of black knife killers. Sure enough, the woman was looking back at him, with a smile in her eyes. Mixed with inexplicable meaning.
After Roxanne looked back as if nothing had happened, Chen Lun used "Mind Sharing" expressionlessly.
In the hearts of Floy, Noah, Antonio and Golov, Mr. Jack's chilling voice suddenly sounded, and they only heard him say:
"If there is any change in the Black Knife Brotherhood later, just kill them directly."
Everyone in the circus was stunned.
After seeing the look in Chen Lun's eyes, he quickly realized that this was the leader's extraordinary ability.
They nodded subtly to show receipt.

After entering the fence, the surrounding light suddenly dimmed.
Although it is not that you can't see your fingers, it is equivalent to a night when the stars and moon are covered, and the environment is dull and dead.
This was originally the center of Songsha City, the most prosperous and lively area, but now it has become a place of death. Not only is it filled with a large number of fallen believers, there are also extraordinary monks from the Red Apple Church who are hunting, kidnapping and sacrificing living people.
The crowd didn't go far before they divided into two teams and acted separately.
Chen Lun led his team and six people from the Moon Church forward along the street. Except for Bishop Tobyin, the other five black-robed monks were all mid-level extraordinary beings. It can be seen from their attitudes that the Moon Church is one of the few members of the Zhengshen Church who is willing to contribute to fight against the Red Disaster, which made Chen Lun secretly sigh.
'This was the case in the previous life. In the face of the Red Disaster of the Empire in version 1.0, only the sun and the moon contributed the most... The History and Ceremony Association and the Hailing Regiment were involved in the whole process, while the Stars and the Madman School remained neutral and only occasionally stepped in to help at certain times. . ’
When approaching the church area, the black-robed old man Tobyin suddenly spoke:
"Mr. Jack, I feel the aura of the Moon God from your body... In addition to you, there is also the blind lady, who also contains the aura of my god."
He opened his half-lidded eyelids and looked at Chen Lun.
"If you are lucky enough to receive the blessing and favor of the Moon God, you must be a friend of my religion. I hope you will be careful of the people in the Black Knife Brotherhood... I sensed some bad intentions from them."
"Thank you for reminding me, Bishop Tobyin, I will pay attention to it."
Chen Lun smiled.
After Tobyin finished speaking, he returned to his half-asleep state, lowered his head slightly, and slowly led the way.
The same was true for the five black-robed monks following him. They never spoke a word from beginning to end and just walked silently.
Not long after, everyone arrived at the church area.
Suddenly there was a violent noise ahead, and even the ground began to tremble.
"It seems that Coleridge and the others have already encountered a battle in advance. Let's rush over."
Bishop Tobyin said.
Everyone's pace quickened, and after passing through several tall Gothic buildings, they came to a spacious open space, which was the size of two football fields. It seemed that it had been renovated and rebuilt... There were still traces left on the ground. There are many unfilled potholes and huge stone slabs stacked at the edge of the open space, waiting to be laid.
In the central area, a huge stone statue eight or nine meters high stands. This is an invisible woman, wearing a luxurious robe, standing quietly, holding a rose in her raised right hand.
This is the true God that the Red Apple Church believes in, Lady Rose.
At the foot of His statue, there were three circles of erected stone slabs, covered with carved patterns, but now soaked in blood. Hundreds of corpses were stacked in the gaps between the stone slabs, which was horrifying.
Under the dim light, the statue of Madam Rose exudes a coquettish red light.
"This is a sacrificial square... the damn Red Apple Church!"
Toby said with uncontrollable anger when he saw this scene.
Everyone looked up.
I saw two people and horses fighting fiercely in the distance, and there was a loud rumbling sound.
The extraordinary monk in red robes, the priest who transformed into a giant ghoul, and the old bishop with ferocious bat wings on his back fought against the asylum investigators headed by Coleridge and black knife killers such as Roxanne.
Even with the ebb and flow of the "Night Realm", Coleridge and others are still at a disadvantage!
Just when Bishop Tobyin was about to step forward to help, the battle there took another drastic change.
I saw the red-robed bishop flying in the air, and the five priests and ghouls on the ground suddenly exploded and turned into hundreds of dense bat swarms, making a squeaking sound.
The bats gathered together and transformed into a huge, weird pattern made up of three overlapping triangles in mid-air. They seemed to have triggered some kind of ritual, and the red light on the statue of Lady Rose became even more dazzling.
The stone rose in His hand was dyed with a scarlet luster and became like a real flower. The viscous and profound sinful blood even began to flow from the stamens, drop by drop, constantly evaporating and rising, blooming into dazzling and strange colors.
Crash...! !
A scarlet rain of blood suddenly descended, containing terrifying pollution and corrosive power, and poured overwhelmingly towards Coleridge and others.
The short Coleridge's face changed slightly. He waved his hand suddenly, and sprinkled out dots of starlight containing purple, green and light blue - it was a mixture of several extraordinary perfumes.
Tsk tsk tsk! !
Four or five house-sized mushrooms rose up from the ground, using their bright and wide umbrella-like tops to shield Coleridge, Roxanne and others from the rain of blood.
A dull crackling sound came from above their heads, and the rain of blood slapped on the mushrooms, as heavy as bullets. The shattered blood mist spread in all directions, slowly falling down and filling the air. The investigators and black knife killers who accidentally inhaled the blood mist between breaths suddenly felt numb and painful all over their bodies, and their own sanity was rapidly fading.
"Hold your breath, these rains of blood contain strong pollution!"
growled Coleridge.
He once again sprayed light blue perfume, the surrounding air was refreshed, and the blood mist was purified to a certain extent.
At the same time, the huge mushroom that received the "perfume nutrients" suddenly contracted and expanded, spewing out countless granular light blue spores, which absorbed the blood rain from the sky and then collapsed on their own.
But the creepy squeaks and the continuous noise of the umbrella cover being corroded have been challenging the nerves of Coleridge and others, and they felt tremendous pressure.
The power of the Red Apple Church far exceeded their expectations.
But that's it.
A swarm of bats forming a triangular pattern in mid-air suddenly swarmed away to one side.
Coleridge, Roxanne and others raised their heads and looked in the direction in which they flew away... The expressions of the investigators suddenly changed.
"Lord Coleridge, they flew towards Bishop Tobyin and Mr. Jack!"
shouted the subordinate next to the short man.
"It turns out that this group of damn red lunatics had this idea! They deliberately used rain of blood to trap us, but in fact they wanted to intercept and suppress other reinforcements! I was too reckless and should not have entered this area in advance... The opponent had already He knew we were coming and deliberately set a trap.”
Coleridge's face was gloomy. He immediately sat down cross-legged. A pile of extraordinary materials and mixing utensils appeared in his hand, and he ordered his men:
"You and Ms. Roxanne, stay alert. I need three minutes to make a temporary perfume before..."
At this time.
A group of eight or nine red-robed monks appeared from the other side of the open space, behind the Moon Church and the Circus. The Red Apple Church surrounded them from the front and rear, blocking the movement of Chen Lun and others.
"That's the 'Red Rose Team'... Bishop Tobyin and Mr. Jack are in danger!"
Coleridge's pupils constricted.
He was about to turn around to speak to Roxanne, but found that all the Black Knife Brotherhood members had disappeared.
Only her words were left in the air:
"We follow the shadow, not afraid of the rain of blood, and go to support first."

Chen Lun looked around.
The bats flying in front gathered together and transformed into a red-robed bishop and five priests. Behind him, the captain of the red rose team led seven elite monks to block the way and surrounded them.
They all had cruel smiles on their faces, as if they were sure of victory.
From the side, elongated shadows were running close to the ground, running towards them. It was the black knife killer group led by Roxanne. But it didn't look like support, because even Bishop Tobyin could feel the strong malice in the shadow coming towards him.
When the shadow stopped a hundred meters away, they stood up from the ground and returned to their human form.
The leader, Roxanne, was covered in pitch-black shadows, as if she was wearing a layer of black mud armor. Only her face was exposed, with a sneer on her face, and her eyes showed both gloating and undisguised murderous intent.
She mouthed something that looked like she was saying:
"You're dead, Qiao Ke."
Chen Lun first calmly glanced around the Red Apple congregation, then glanced at the Black Knife Brotherhood and others in the distance, and finally shook his head and said lightly:
"This number of people is not enough."
He decided to take a preemptive strike and directly raised his hand.
A storm of cards suddenly broke out around him, with hundreds of high-speed rotating playing cards surrounding him like a tornado.
Chen Lun lowered his black hat, grasped the silver cane like a baton, and rotated it gently.
The card storm split instantly and turned into two torrents at the same time, rushing towards the enemies in front and behind!
"Jack! You damn heretic! Stop struggling! It's just..."
The red-robed bishop sneered.
But his expression changed drastically in the next second.
He saw ten dark and translucent flying cards mixed in with the incoming card storm, each one suppressing terrifying energy... It shocked his mind, and a strong sense of danger arose spontaneously. (End of chapter)
