Chapter 425 The Land of Saint Ai
Chen Lun led seven team members directly into the turbulence.
The blurry and distorted black-blue vision suddenly flew backwards, and everyone felt as if their bodies were being dragged by hundreds of hands, with inexplicable pulling forces coming from all directions.
Time created an illusion that was difficult to judge at this moment. It seemed that minutes had passed, and it seemed that only a few seconds had passed.
When everyone came back to their senses, they found themselves standing in a spacious wheat field.
The breeze was blowing and it was very comfortable.
Surrounded by newly planted wheat seedlings, the eyes are full of green.
Further away, there is a scarecrow standing in a wheat field, a long fence, a row of farmhouses and the outline of the building complex at the end.
"What is this place?"
Wells looked at the scene around him and asked in a deep voice.
"It's not clear yet, but judging from the environment, it should be the northern part of the empire."
Xibei observed the environment and said softly.
"Lahn, you and Xibei go to the nearby area to inquire about the situation and find out where we are."
Chen Lun ordered the two young team members.
"No problem, Captain."
Larn and Xibei nodded, caressed their chests and saluted, responded, and immediately swooped out of the wheat field, crossing the afterimage towards the farmhouse.
"Wells, the five of you are searching the area to see if there are any traces of polluting organisms...Twenty minutes later, everyone met at the road on the north side of the wheat field."
Chen Lun continued to issue orders to the team members.
"Yes, Captain."
The remaining team members followed his orders, briefly discussed it, and headed in different directions in tacit agreement. Chen Lun silently observed the scene around him and walked slowly.
‘This turbulent flow in the spiritual world connects the third level of the spiritual world to the real world, but the polluted creatures thrown out will not gather in the same area. They may be scattered across several kilometers. ’
He thought to himself as he walked along the main road on the north side of the wheat field.
Chen Lun's keen eyes swept around, trying to search for traces of polluting creatures, but found nothing. This is a very ordinary and peaceful suburban farm, not as chaotic and desolate as imagined.
'There's no contamination...it's a bit strange. ’
His brows furrowed slightly.
After thinking about it, Chen Lun took out the playing cards, played with them, and did some divination.
"Polluted creatures have descended here from the spirit world."
Swish, swish, swish!
The playing cards popped up on their own, giving three positive signs.
Chen Lun narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Polluting organisms have wreaked havoc here."
He continued with his second divination.
This time, three playing cards gave the opposite answer.
negative!
‘Since the contaminated creatures were thrown here, but no damage was done here... Could it be that the local shelter discovered them in time and cleaned them up? ’
Chen Lun thought.
Not long after, the members of the investigating team returned one after another.
The first was Larn and Xibei. By asking the farmer of the farmhouse, they learned that this land was the hometown of Saint Aye belonging to Privet City in Linbang, a very ordinary small town.
The detection results of Wells, Federica and the other five people were quite consistent, that is, no traces of contaminating organisms were found.
Everyone was a little confused. It was clear that the turbulent flow in the spiritual world led to this town. They also saw with their own eyes that many polluted Crocodiles were swept up in the turbulent flow and disappeared. So why is there no trace here?
Chen Lun was slightly startled when he heard Larn's report.
‘The Land of Saint Aye…isn’t this the place recorded in the manuscript I got at the Simon Family Museum in Peacock City? Mr. Sid, of the Mitchell family, mentioned this town in his travel notes and expressed his wish to spend his remaining years here. ’
He shook his head.
Noticing that the team members were all paying attention, Chen Lun said:
"Although the situation is somewhat unexpected, we still need to confirm again."
He turned to look at the buildings in the distance.
"Let's go to the towns of Saint E's Country first. It's best to check with the local shelter. Maybe we can get some information from them."
"Yes, Captain."
The team members didn't have any objections, and even Mattison's three thorns bowed their heads in response.
The investigating group were all Sequence 5 Transcendents, elites in the Middle Sequence. Their physical strength was not to mention outstanding, but it was far above the average level. They entered the town in a short while.
Chen Lun looked at the scene on the street and couldn't help but sigh that Mr. Sid did have a good eye.
There are not many horse-drawn carriages on the spacious road, and there is no rush. When passing by leisurely, there is no crazy ringing of bells like in a big city, and the environment is quiet. Rows of tall landscape trees are planted on both sides of the street, with lush branches and leaves.
Many elderly people can be seen relaxing and chatting on the wooden benches on the roadside.
There are very few shops here, and it seems that the people who visit are all locals, who are very familiar with each other, and they will chat enthusiastically while shopping.
"Captain, the shelter in Saint E's Country is just ahead."
At this time, Larn pointed to a three-story building not far away and said.
The building is located directly opposite the street junction and has no other neighboring buildings.
"Yeah."
Chen Lun nodded to express his understanding.
Immediately, he led everyone to the fence outside the building and pressed the doorbell next to the gate.
Du...du...
A long while.
A male voice came from the fixed intercom:
"Who is it? What's the matter?"
Chen Lun said calmly:
"A group of the Imperial Judgment Team, I am Captain Jack Speight, No. 01061... We are on a mission and came to the hometown of Saint E to investigate. If there are relevant matters, we need to call the intelligence library of the asylum branch there."< br>
The voice on the other end of the intercom paused.
It seems that the sound of breathing can still be heard faintly.
Soon, the male voice sounded again, but he was obviously more nervous.
"Please...please wait a moment, Sir Jack, I will notify the person in charge immediately."
"As soon as possible."
Chen Lun said lightly.
An investigation team of eight people stood quietly at the door of the building.
Their positions were very particular, with three people inside and four people outside, guarding the captain Jack. At the same time, they scanned the surroundings without leaving a trace, paying attention to every corner.
This is the basic quality of members of the Imperial Tribunal, and they will never let down their guard at any time.
Soon, the iron door of the shelter building opened with a click, and a dozen people walked quickly inside, all wearing black uniforms. The leader was a middle-aged man with a scar on his left cheek.
"Sir Jack, I am the leader of the shelter in Saint E's Country, Mata."
The middle-aged man walked up to Chen Lun and others and bowed humbly while stroking his chest.
The Imperial Judgment Group can be said to be the superior unit of the asylum. In addition to the person in charge of the main city-level shelters in various regions within the territory, the rest of the people should be called chiefs even if they see ordinary members of the Judgment Group.
"Please, if you have anything you need help with, you can discuss it in detail in the conference room."
Mata asked respectfully.
Chen Lun nodded and raised his hand to signal the team members to follow him in.

After a while.
The investigating group left the shelter building.
But everyone's expressions were full of doubts. Larn glanced at the captain walking at the front and couldn't help but ask:
"Captain, this thing is so strange. Even the local shelter has found no traces of contaminated organisms... Could it be that the turbulence in the spiritual world threw the contaminated organisms to other places?"
"Impossible. Although turbulent currents will bring things in the spiritual world into the present world in disorder, they must also follow the rules of the mysterious realm... Since we have been teleported here, the polluting creatures will never be too far apart."
Wells said solemnly.
"But the local shelter is located in this area, so there won't be any clues."
Xibei frowned, thought for a moment and then said:
"Unless...the shelter here is hiding something and deceiving us."
Chen Lun silently listened to the discussion of the team members, shook his head and said:
"Team Leader Mata didn't lie."
Everyone was slightly stunned.
They secretly thought that since the captain said so, it shouldn't be a problem with the asylum. The captain had definitely used some means to test the team leader just now.
Chen Lun's eyes were deep.
‘What is certain is that the polluting creatures were indeed thrown to the land of Saint Ai by the turbulent currents in the spiritual world, but were eliminated soon after their arrival... Not only was the shelter unaware of it, but it did not leave even a trace. ’
Chen Lun thought about the results of the previous divination, and always felt that there was some secret hidden behind this matter.
‘Either this little-known town has some hidden power, or someone is secretly protecting it. ’
He led everyone walking on the street and spoke slowly:
"Since this place has not been invaded by polluting creatures, there is no need for us to expend too much energy on continuing to investigate... The top priority is to investigate the source of pollution deep in the spiritual world."
"Yes, Captain."
everyone replied.
Chen Lun nodded slightly and planned to find a hidden place to return to the spirit world.
He took one last look at this seemingly ordinary and peaceful town, and his eyes were suddenly attracted by an old man. The other party was leaning on a bench on the street, staring at the empty space in front of him with a smile, and said to himself:
"Are you telling the truth?"
The old man tilted his head slightly, as if listening.
He nodded immediately, his expression slightly relieved.
"It turns out that my time has come... It seems that Xiao Mken will have to rely on himself in the future. I have already written the will. I will leave the old house to him. Although it is not worth a few dollars, it is still the place where my ancestors left it in the Holy Land. Something from the land of Ae for hundreds of years.”
The team members noticed something strange about the captain, and immediately followed his gaze to look at the old man, each of them looking a little strange.
In their eyes, the old man might have some mental problems and seemed a little abnormal. Afterwards, the old man fell into silence for a long time, his eyes were lost in thought, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Let's go."
Chen Lun didn't want to waste any more time, so he greeted his teammates and left the street.
Shortly after the investigative group left.
The old man sitting on the bench on the street suddenly turned his head and looked at where Chen Lun and others were before. He looked confused and said to himself:
"Mr. Angel, what are you looking at?"
The old man seemed to be asking someone.
A long while.
"Interesting little guy? Why didn't I see it? Ah... well, why should the old guy who is almost dead be so curious? Your kingdom must be very big. Can I see some old friends? Ah ha, This is great! I really miss that drunkard Pino..."
The old man slowly leaned back on the bench, smiled and closed his eyes.
Finally, he muttered slightly:
"The legend of you has been circulating in the land of Saint E, but no one has ever believed it... It is my honor to see you with my own eyes before I die."
Immediately, the old man's breath gradually faded until it disappeared.
Under the tree behind the wooden chair, a small white snake the size of a finger snaked away in the distance, but was unexpectedly gently grabbed by a hand.
The little white snake curled up in a ball as if in stress, raised its head, and looked at the stranger with its emerald green snake eyes, but at this moment, time seemed to stop.
Only a gentle voice sounded:
"Interesting little guy, we are quite destined... I took this snake to the cemetery. It happens that the boring time is long, so let it keep me company."

The third level of the spiritual world.
in a dim environment.
Chen Lun's pupils suddenly shrank.
He felt that the white snake he had left in the land of Saint E had suddenly lost contact, and at the same time, there were also the last images and sounds recorded by the white snake.
'Mr. Angel...'
Chen Lun took a deep breath.
When he communicated with Team Leader Mata at the shelter station before, he learned about a legend about the land of Saint E from the other person's mouth.
The local elders say that there is an angel guarding there silently, which is why the land of Saint Aegis is so peaceful, but only the dying can see Him and be invited by Him to go to the Kingdom of God... But this is just a legend after all, Even the imperial officials could not find the slightest evidence.
So much so that the asylum just regarded it as a rumor and ignored it.
But Chen Lun observed the old man's last words and deeds through White Snake, and the sudden disconnection of White Snake, and realized that this legend might not be false...
'If there really is an angel in the land of Saint E, then the mysterious disappearance of pollution would make sense... But how could an ordinary town have such a big shot? ’
Chen Lun thought to himself, and a flash of lightning suddenly flashed in his mind.
‘Sid Mitchell... could he be the recorder of that manuscript? ’
He thought for a while, took a deep breath, and chose to put these thoughts down.
‘Forget it, let’s finish the matter at hand first. ’
Chen Lun led a group of investigation team members and began to explore the third level of the spiritual world.
For several days, they spent in a dark environment and discovered two more pollution sources. Such a high probability also reflected the pollution in the spiritual world, which was indeed very serious.
Until a week later.
Chen Lun lit a bonfire in the dark open space, looked at the team members sitting in a circle, and said in a deep voice:
"During this period, we have discovered many pollution sources and removed them... But this is a drop in the bucket for the entire spiritual world turmoil. It is a waste of time and energy to continue like this."
He pointed to the boundary not far from the bonfire. The light there had dimmed to the extreme and was extremely deep.
"Now that we have reached the deepest level of the third level of the spiritual world, I think it is time to enter the dark world."
"Captain, it's all up to you."
Larn handed the roasted meat to his teammates and smiled at Chen Lun.
"Well, let's eat something and take a rest. We are officially heading to the dark world."
Chen Lun nodded.
After a while.
After the team members finished resting, they each took out a bottle of "True Sight Potion" and drank it. Their insight skyrocketed in a very short period of time. They looked up and saw straight white thin lines exposed in the darkness ahead——
That is the entrance to the dark world in the deepest part of the spiritual world!
At this time, a figure was one step ahead of them, walking forward slowly.
"Captain..."
Rahn and others quickly followed.
At the same time, Larn suddenly realized something, quickly looked at his teammates, and whispered:
"Same as last time! Captain Jack... still doesn't seem to have drank the 'True Sight Potion'!"
"?!"
Wells and Mattison looked shocked.
When entering the third level of the spiritual world, Captain Jack no longer needs to drink the "True Sight Potion". Now he can even explore the dark world with his own insight? !
"He is worthy of being a strong man who can defeat the incarnation of a saint. Captain, he is no longer an extraordinary person on the same level as us."
Deep respect came from under Federica's black veil.
The three Mattisons looked at each other and said nothing in tacit agreement. Only the self-mockery in their eyes made them understand that the previous hostility towards Jack was just a child-like farce.
The other party doesn't even bother to pay attention to himself...(End of Chapter)
