"Don't go forward...?"
Chen Lun frowned slightly.
'What does this mean?'
Although this was just a dream that Floyd had, Chen Lun took it very seriously. After all, extraordinary people were different from ordinary people, and dreams were also a very important foreshadowing in mysticism, especially since she was [Sequence 8 - Executioner] and was also carrying [A-level Weird Item - Sun-facing Potted Plant].
Chen Lun couldn’t figure out what this dream meant for the time being, but he still kept this sentence in mind.
"Don't think too much..."
Chen Lun consoled him.
"You can't sleep at night, so let's go for a walk around the manor."
"Um."
Floy smiled and nodded.
…
…
…
Inner city of Amber.
The secret location of the asylum.
In Mona's office, Talleyrand, the captain of the executioner squad, was flipping through files at the table, while Mona, sitting opposite her, was quietly drinking tea.
After a while.
"Still unsure of the Black Knight's location?"
Talleyrand raised his head and frowned slightly.
Mona nodded.
"The last time the executioner team was killed by him in the spirit world near Amber City... but after a secret investigation, no trace of him was found in Amber City."
"Okay, I understand... I will apply for assistance from above later, call upon the divination artifact, obtain the current location of the Black Knight, and then suppress him."
Talleyrand said indifferently.
"What do you need us to do?"
Mona asked.
"Nothing is needed. This operation will be carried out in the spirit world, so it is not suitable for ordinary investigators to intervene. The Amber City Shelter does not have enough high-end combat power. There is only one [Sequence 7] transcendent, so let him stay here to take charge."
Talleyrand said this, glancing at Ralph who was standing nearby.
"Also, regarding the Black Knight, there will be elite teams of extraordinary people from the Church of the Sun and the Church of the Moon coming soon. Try not to make too much noise in the real world... so as not to cause unnecessary panic."
"Okay, I understand. We will fully cooperate."
Mona said.
At this time, the female member of the executioner team, Leslie, came over, whispered a few words in Talleyrand's ear, and handed him a paper report.
After reading it, Talleyrand handed it back to her and waved his hand casually.
"Akbinkovor is not our focus right now. As for the man they took away, I have received some information from Mona..."
As he spoke, his eyes were downcast and his face was expressionless.
" Just bring him here and briefly interrogate him. If you can get some information about Akbin, that would be great. If you can't get anything out of him, forget it. It's not important."
"Yes, Captain."
Leslie bowed and left.
At this moment, a bracelet pendant on Talleyrand's wrist gently touched her.
It was a delicate stone sculpture of a woman, about the size of a little finger, in a praying position.
Leslie was slightly startled, then she glanced at the other people in the room calmly and left.
She walked alone in the aisle, a thoughtful look in her eyes.
Just now, when she was touched by the stone sculpture, the captain's voice rang in her mind:
"That man's name is Jackspeight. He incorporated the Circus, a subsidiary of the Mutual Aid Society, a year ago. That's why Akbin and his companions wanted to arrest him... But he is now a partner of the Amber City Shelter, and he is also guaranteed by the Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce. We can't easily touch him without evidence."
Lei Sili understood what the captain meant, which was that no actions should be too extreme in public, after all, the person in power here was Mona, the favorite student of Rudolf, the Judge of Fossil City.
The minimum respect should be given, and the specific procedures should be decided by Lei Sili herself.
"I see……"
Leslie's face was indifferent.
…
…
…
Chen Lun was still a little confused when he received the subpoena.
But when he looked up at the three members of the executioner team standing upright at the gate of the manor, he finally understood.
The Life-Seeing Eye told him the other party's identity information, and an idea flashed through Chen Lun's mind.
"The shelter's top brass have arrived... just as the divination predicted."
Lei Sili had a businesslike and indifferent expression on her face. Behind her stood two other male executioners, all dressed in black.
"Mr. Jack, please come with us... After investigation, we found that Akbin Kowal, a wanted criminal in the shelter, had some contact with you yesterday. We need to know what exactly happened between you and what you talked about."
Leslie said.
She also produced the Executioner Squad's exclusive badge, a gold badge engraved with the letters "CMP" and a flintlock and crossed hands.
"I believe you should know what this badge means. Do not try to resist or escape, otherwise we will suppress you for 'resisting legal interrogation' and 'endangering the security of the empire'... Please cooperate with the investigation into the truth of the plague raging in the Gem State."
Chen Lun narrowed his eyes. He really didn't like the other party's condescending attitude, but he immediately smiled politely.
"Of course, as a law-abiding civilian not abide by the rules of the internment camp... Let's go."
He said cooperatively.
Leslie nodded, made way for the shelter's exclusive carriage, and motioned for him to get in.
“Captain!”
Golov shouted with some concern.
Beside him, Floy, Noah and Maggie were standing quietly.
Chen Lun turned around and saw their concerned eyes and Floy's very cold expression. He knew that as long as he opened his mouth, these companions would act without hesitation and start a war with the three members of the Executioner Squad.
But he just smiled and said:
"It's okay, I'll be back soon."
Lei Sili and the other two standing by sneered.
Chen Lun pulled the brim of his black hat and walked straight towards the carriage. Just as he stepped on the stepboard, one of the male executioners came over and took out a strange pair of stone handcuffs.
"Please put it on, Mr. Jack."
He said coldly.
Chen Lun glanced at him and then looked at the handcuffs in his hands.
He knew that this thing was a kind of restraint forged by the extraordinary workshop of the shelter. It was quite tough, and even ordinary mid-sequence extraordinary people could not break free. It also had a confinement effect and could suppress some extraordinary powers.
But a son of a wealthy family will not sit in a hall, and a gentleman will not stand under a dangerous wall. Chen Lun will not let himself fall into unnecessary difficulties.
He simply ignored the other person and turned around to get on the carriage.
The executioner frowned immediately, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.
Just as he was about to speak, Lei Sili waved her hand and said calmly:
"Forget it, let's go back to the shelter first."
…
…
…
The secret location of the asylum.
Inside an interrogation room.
There were no windows in the cramped room, only walls painted gray and black, and light from the incandescent lamp on the ceiling.
A fixed long metal table was placed in the middle of the room, with a man and a woman sitting opposite each other, and two men in black standing next to the woman.
"Tell me, Mr. Jack, what happened to you in the spirit world yesterday."
Lei Sili took a pen and paper, ready to record the interrogation process.
Chen Lun raised his eyebrows, laughed twice, and said:
"They came to cause trouble for me, and then I chased them away."
Lei Sili put down her pen and her eyes became even colder.
"Please be serious, Mr. Jack... I'm not kidding you."
Chen Lun stopped smiling and became serious.
"Yeah, I'm not kidding you either, ma'am."
"Leisili, this guy clearly has no intention of cooperating... He's just talking nonsense here, trying to get away with it."
A male executioner said in a deep voice.
"He may think that he has the protection of the Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce and Mona's guarantee, so he doesn't have to tell us the truth."
The other executioner sneered.
Lei Sili didn't say anything, just looked at Chen Lun quietly.
Chen Lun glanced at the two men in black, leaned back in his chair, and looked quite relaxed.
"The circus once belonged to the Mutual Aid Association. The gallery kidnapping case a year ago almost wiped them out. I recruited their remnants and then chose to join the Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce, becoming a legal and registered supernatural force..."
He said.
"Later, we also cooperated with the Amber City Asylum to help maintain the city's order and suppress illegal supernatural beings and undead strangers... It's a pity that after all, the predecessor had the elements of a mutual aid society, so I expected Akbin to cause trouble for me."
Chen Lun leaned forward, looked at Lei Sili's expressionless face, and said seriously:
"But I didn't give in. I fought them to the death and finally drove them away with great difficulty... I was also seriously injured."
"Do you think I would believe that, Mr. Jack?"
Leslie crossed her fingers.
"Believe it or not, this is the truth."
"the truth……?"
Leslie laughed.
She took out a document which contained the contents of a letter that Chen Lun had once handed over to Mona.
"You have investigated the plague and said that the outbreak may have nothing to do with Akbin, and that someone else is behind it... Can I assume that you have already secretly joined the Mutual Aid Society and planned this serious plague incident with Akbin? And covered it up?"
Lei Sili's tone became sharp, as if she had concluded that Chen Lun was full of lies.
Chen Lun was speechless, wondering why this woman had such a unique way of thinking.
"It's outrageous. It's outrageous to the extreme... You can guess that I joined the mutual aid society, but I didn't start any plague. You are framing me, right?"
"Do you have any evidence?"
He was a little bored and too lazy to talk any more, so he asked directly.
"Mr. Jack, the fact that you are sitting here is the best evidence... I don't think you have the ability to survive the hands of Akbin and his accomplices. There is no other explanation except that you two are in the same group."
"What a waste of my time, ma'am."
Chen Lun's expression turned cold.
"Your so-called evidence is just your self-righteous subjective judgment? I'm sorry, I don't want to continue this boring reasoning game with you."
He stood up and prepared to leave.
But the two male executioners blocked his way.
"Who allowed you to go?"
One of them said indifferently.
"You are now a suspected accomplice of Akbin, suspected of causing the plague in the Gem State... Without the captain's order, you cannot leave here."
"But Floyd is waiting for me to come home for dinner..."
Chen Lun shook his head in distress.
He pushed the two people away and pulled the door handle as if he didn't see anything.
"Damn it! How dare you disobey the rules and try to escape!"
One of the male executioners suddenly shouted coldly.
