Chapter 207: Chapter 169 Circus Pursuit Order (Combined)
The living room on the first floor of the villa.
Chen Lun sat on the sofa, watching as Doghead Gold and Forget No Taboo left.
Their faces were brimming with excitement, each holding a mechanical glove they couldn’t seem to put down, fondling it lovingly.
Not long after Chen Lun returned, Doghead Gold and Forget No Taboo, who had been waiting for some time, came looking for him.
Upon reading the letter they received, they filled with anticipation, even going so far as to directly check into the residential area of the manor to wait.
As for the movements of Horseman, Polaris, and Su Keying, through Floey, he learned that they had completed two commission tasks and were currently out on the third.
Chen Lun nodded with satisfaction.
This was indeed a group of diligent players, quite good.
‘Having already initially interacted with some of the ordinary public beta players, it’s also time to “water” these selected elites…’ Chen Lun thought.
‘I need to expedite the official Immortal Realm journey, letting them pathfind for me, and find the supernatural knowledge for the next sequence, the “Magician”!’
Immediately after, Chen Lun took out a letter from the Blood Poem Ring.
This was handed to him by Connie when he just got back. It was said to have been delivered by a mysterious postman who specifically instructed that Mr. Jack should open it personally.
After contemplation, Chen Lun faintly guessed the sender, but to be cautious, he still took out a gold pound for a simple divination of good or bad fortune.
Gently tossing the coin, the result was the sun pattern facing up, indicating there was nothing wrong with the letter.
Chen Lun’s nails covered with a layer of dark, shiny exoskeleton, sharp as a knife, he easily sliced open the wax seal.
He then took out the letter to read.
It was a private letter from Amber City’s Shelter, sent by the current head, Mona.
And it seemed that the letter had been affected by some mysterious object, endowing it with a unique confidentiality.
If someone other than Chen Lun broke the seal or tried to open the envelope in a different way, the contents of the letter would dissolve on their own.
The content of the letter indicated that, recently, Amber City saw a large influx of foreign strangers, who greatly increased the crime rate, leading to chaos throughout the city.
Mona also hinted in the letter that this group of foreigners possessed a certain trait that allowed them to perform the miracle of resurrection, making them audacious, full of destructive desire, and unpredictability.
Her teacher told her that this was not an isolated incident, as similar events were occurring in other cities too, with the undead foreigners gradually spreading across the entire Tresor Empire…
The Empire’s upper echelon, in collaboration with the Seven Righteous God Churches, carried out investigations and studies on these undead foreigners, ultimately concluding—these were a kind of “Spirit World visitors” never seen before.
And they named them—Undead.
“The arrival of the Undead heralds the forthcoming turmoil of the Spirit World.”
These were the original words of Mona’s teacher, Rudolf, the Judge of Fossil City.
The Sun King decreed that from top to bottom, the Tresor Empire would strengthen the screening and management of the Undead and subject them to strict surveillance.
To handle their resurrection trait, the Empire would construct a series of prisons specifically for the Undead—the Undying Prison.
Furthermore, the “Imperial Parliament” and the “Six States Parliament” drafted relevant bills. The “Sun Codex” and “Containment Regulations” would also add over one hundred related entries and decrees targeting the Undead, and if the Undead violated the regulations, they would face more severe punishment.
Regarding this, Mona hoped that the Transcendent organization “Circus” under Chen Lun’s command could assist the Shelter to restrain, intimidate, and suppress the Undead in Amber City.
‘An official commission? Good, not only can I obtain the corresponding rewards, but I can also improve relations and raise the favor of Amber City’s Shelter, which will be helpful for the future development of the Circus, and moreover…’
Chen Lun slowly put away the letter, a smile appearing on his face.
‘Using the official name also makes it convenient to regulate the players, and incidentally establish the Circus’s authority… It’s time to let them know who’s in charge in Amber City.’
At that moment, there was the sound of urgent barking from outside.
Accompanied by the rushing of footsteps.
Chen Lun stood up and walked outside.
He saw a bloodstained border collie, running frantically toward him, followed by two servants who were the gatekeepers, chasing after it.
Doghead Gold and Forget No Taboo had not gone far and were drawn by the scene, stopping in their tracks.
Babu collapsed at Chen Lun’s feet, panting heavily, gasping for breath.
“Leader, I have been derelict, unable to stop this dog.”
The two servants knelt on one knee.
“It’s alright, you can go now.”
Chen Lun waved his hand.
Only then did the two servants rise and return to the gate.
Chen Lun crouched down and stroked Babu’s head. A faint green light blossomed, and the gunshot wound on its leg began to heal.
After catching its breath, Babu realized its injury was healing and affectionately rubbed Chen Lun’s hand with its head. It then began to whine softly.
Chen Lun listened in silence.
He pondered for a few seconds, a mysterious glint flashing in his eyes.
‘Carrying out zero-cost shopping on my turf…? Perfect timing, I’ll make an example of you!’
Chen Lun got to his feet and said to Doghead Gold and Forget No Taboo, who were standing not too far away:
“Could you two come here for a moment?”
The two players, puzzled, looked at each other but chose to approach.
“I have a matter here that requires help, would either of you be interested?”
“Please tell us, Mr. Jack!”
Doghead Gold quickly said, his eyebrows dancing with joy.
This unexpected mission often turned out to be a delightful affair.
