Spirit world.
Chen Lun's room appeared blurry and the furnishings inside seemed to be covered with a layer of light blue mosaic.
He sat in the chair, looking at the three scrolls in his hands, a smile appearing on his slightly tired face.
"It's really exhausting... copying three copies in one go is already my limit."
Chen Lun casually threw out a scroll, which unfolded by itself in mid-air. Immediately, a giant white python as thick as a thigh jumped out and pounced forward and bit.
With a loud bang, the desk shattered and a hole opened in the wall.
The giant white python turned around and split from its head like a blooming flower bud, splitting into five white snakes of varying lengths and as thick as arms, which were like the five fingers of a hand.
Five white snakes attacked everything around them like crazy, destroyed all the furnishings in the room, and finally disappeared.
Chen Lun frowned slightly.
'This scroll is equivalent to a full-strength punch from me using the Snake Incarnation alone... but it is divided into two attacks, first the giant python bites, then it splits into five small snakes and attacks chaotically.'
He shook his head somewhat disappointedly.
For him, this was too weak, too laborious, and too inexpensive.
Even if dozens of scrolls were thrown out at the same time, they would still not be as good as a casual attack from him when he entered the "limit state".
But he changed his mind.
'It's really not very useful to me, but I can leave it to my team members... or even sell it to players?'
Chen Lun was not arrogant, but the fact was that even a Sequence 7 Beyonder would not dare to take his full-strength punch head-on.
If he encountered an ordinary [Sequence 8] transcendent, this punch would either kill or injure him.
He looked at the two scrolls in his hands and already had a plan.
…
…
…
Jack Manor.
The little white cat Bibo was taking a nap on the sofa.
It suddenly raised its head alertly, its pupils suddenly dilated , its ears drooped, and its back arched with its fur standing on end.
Meow!
A huge white cat that was several times larger than it was was seen walking slowly towards it, then it lightly jumped onto the coffee table, its emerald green vertical pupils staring at it.
The little white cat trembled and dared not move.
The big white cat meowed twice in a low voice, and the little white cat stopped trembling. It looked at it with some confusion, then jumped over tentatively and sniffed the other.
Bib seemed to recognize who it was and rubbed its head against it affectionately.
There was a hint of thought in the big white cat's eyes.
"Wow! What a cute big white cat!"
At this time, a female voice was heard.
The two white cats, one big and one small, on the coffee table turned their heads and saw Connie looking at them with a look of surprise. Beside her, there stood Floy, Noah and Golov.
Connie quickly walked to the coffee table, picked up the big white cat, and stroked it happily.
"Bibu must be bored living alone in the manor, now he finally has a companion! Is this a wild cat from the neighborhood, or did it run away from another family...?"
She said with some doubt.
"That's not important. What's important is whether it's a male or female cat..."
Golov said.
"Maybe we could pair them up?"
Connie seemed to think there was some truth to this and prepared to lift up the big white cat to see its gender.
Then the big white cat spoke:
"Gorlov, you have a good idea...why don't you give it a try?"
"ah!"
Connie was startled and subconsciously threw the big white cat in her arms away.
Unexpectedly, the big white cat was very agile and landed calmly without any injury.
"Mr.... Captain?!"
Hearing the familiar voice, Golov's eyes widened. After he came to his senses, he wiped the sweat off his face desperately.
"Uh, I was just kidding, ha...ha."
Everyone else was surprised to find out that the big white cat was actually Mr. Jack.
Floy walked forward, bent down, and gently picked up the big white cat.
"Mr. Jack, how did you become a cat?"
Noah asked curiously.
"I'm just studying magic, don't make a fuss..."
Chen Lun leaned lazily in Floy's arms and spoke.
Connie on the side showed an embarrassed expression. She had just thrown Mr. Jack out.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Jack, I didn't mean to..."
"fine."
Chen Lun shook his head and continued:
" You guys go and do your work, Floy will stay here, I have something to tell you."
"Yes, Mr. Jack."
The other three looked at each other, nodded, and left. The surprise on their faces had not yet completely disappeared, but Floy stood there.
She turned around, carried the big white cat to the courtyard, and sat on the swing. This swing was nailed here by Chen Lun himself, and Floy would often rest on it.
She didn't say anything, as if she was silently waiting for Chen Lun to speak.
The big white cat took out a black crystal.
"This is a supernatural object called 'Dragon Li Stone'. See if you can use it to forge some strange objects... If it is useful, I will find a way to get more back later."
"good."
Floy took it and nodded slightly.
The big white cat then took out a parchment scroll.
"This is a magic scroll I copied myself. It can release a giant python. Its power is roughly equivalent to my full-strength attack. Take it. You never know when it will come in handy... Well, I'll copy a few more copies for you when I have time."
Floy took it with a faint smile on her face.
"Thanks."
Her hand gently stroked the big white cat's body, and the cat first looked surprised, then closed its eyes, lay in her arms, and snored uncontrollably.
Floyd bent down slightly, put her head close to the big white cat's ear, and spoke softly:
"Did you enjoy Connie's touch just now...?"
The big white cat slightly opened one eyelid and glanced at the beautiful face that was so close to him:
"Well, no."
"Um."
Floy nodded, seeming to believe what he said.
"I feel more comfortable when I touch it ."
…
…
…
After dinner.
Three men from the circus were sitting on the sofa area in the living room.
No, to be precise, it was two men and an ugly black cat, because Golov had been transformed by Chen Lun at this time.
"Mr. Jack, Golov..."
Noah spoke softly.
"Don't worry, it'll be fine. I'm just testing it."
Chen Lun was staring at the black cat intently. He stretched out the silver cane in his hand and pointed at it gently.
"Keep transforming."
Bang!
The white smoke dissipated, and the ugly black cat turned into a toad again.
Bang!
The toad turned into a mouse again.
Bang!
…
When Golov recovered, he was slumped on the sofa, sweating all over. It was unclear whether he was tired or scared.
"Gorlov, what does it feel like to be transformed into an animal?"
Chen Lun asked.
Golov let out a sigh of relief. Following the instructions given by the regiment commander, he thought for a moment and replied:
"I feel like I can still think and move freely, but I can't speak human language or use my extraordinary powers... It's like I've been sealed off."
Chen Lun nodded to show that he understood.
"It seems that Transfiguration can indeed be used as a means of control... but it needs to be judged by weight, and it may not be so effective on the strong."
"Thank you for your hard work, Golov."
Chen Lun consoled him.
Golov immediately sat up straight, shaking his head and waving his hands.
"No, no, it's not hard at all, Mr. Captain!"
"Haha, that's good."
Chen Lun chuckled, causing Golov to secretly wipe his sweat.
"Noah, I need you to do something for me too."
He turned to Noah again.
"Are you... are you going to turn me into an animal too?"
Noah stammered.
"Oh no, Golov has already tested it, I was talking about something else."
Noah breathed a sigh of relief and smiled:
"Mr. Jack, please go ahead."
"For the next period of time, try to use the [Bone Gallery] to draw some portraits for the team members... the kind that can temporarily retain and imitate some of the extraordinary powers."
Noah instantly understood what Chen Lun meant and nodded with a smile.
"Okay, no problem, Mr. Jack."
…
…
…
On the outskirts of Amber City.
At the entrance of a village.
Two figures slowly left the village.
"Akbin, have you finished your work? I really don't want to waste any more time."
Drinker said impatiently, a cigarette between his lips.
"Well... all the preliminary work has been completed. As long as the sick people recover on their own, my 'vaccination ceremony' will be considered a success."
A buzzing sound came from the crow mask on Akbin's face.
"So now, we can finally go on our club mission?"
Drinker puffed out his cigarette and glanced at him.
"Well, let's go."
Akbin said.
"Go straight from the spirit world into the inner city. The current controller of the circus lives there... Catch him and take him away for interrogation."
Buzz!
The two of them took a step forward and entered the spirit world directly, disappearing into obscurity.
After a moment.
They have arrived at the spiritual world where Amber City is located, and can see the vague and fluctuating outline of the mortal city from their field of vision.
The two were about to move on, but at this moment, they turned back at the same time.
I saw a group of more than a dozen extraordinary people in black windbreakers rushing towards this side. They were aggressive and came with ill intentions.
"It's the 'Executioner Squad' from the asylum... coming to arrest you, Ackbin ."
Drinker said, with a hint of gloating in his tone.
Akbin snorted coldly and said in a deep voice:
"Let's leave the spirit world first. After we get rid of them in the real world, we'll find a way to reunite."
Without waiting for Drink's answer, Akbin left the spirit world on his own.
Drinker sneered, glanced at the approaching executioner team, and also chose to avoid their attack. He followed Akbin's footsteps and disappeared into the spirit world.
The Executioner Squad had already seen Drink and Akbin from afar, but they did not chase them immediately.
"Captain Talleyrand, that was the wanted mastermind of the plague case, 'Akbin Kowal'... What should we do?"
A young female executioner asked.
The man named Talleyrand was a middle-aged man, his short brown hair stood up in the strong wind.
"Our main goal this time is to encircle and destroy the Black Knight Byers... The executioner team that was responsible for capturing Akbin has been wiped out by Byers."
Talleyrand's voice was hoarse.
"But after all, we saw it, so we can't just pretend nothing happened... Leslie, take two people to track down Akbin. Remember, you don't have to do anything, just keep track of his whereabouts."
"Yes, Captain."
The female team member answered.
