Chapter 269: Chapter 0269: Inspection (Seeking Subscriptions at Third Watch of Night)
Translator: 549690339
Moron Goebbels!
A Fifth Level Legend, the mastermind behind the Nia City massacre, a prominent force of the Ancient Snake Society, certainly a big shot on the Mysterious side.
Once caught, annihilated without even a hint of resistance, jointly by the Federation and the Church?
Admittedly, this was a terrifying deterrent for any rogue Occupational Person!
Even seeing today’s events could turn into their eternal nightmares! Serving as a warning that they should never attempt to provoke the Federation and the Church, or else they would pay a painful price!
“Just like that… Even a Fifth Level Legend, once his whereabouts are exposed, and the Federation and the Church are willing to pay the price, he can still be obliterated…”
Rod sighed, his eyes solemn.
So did Su Lu.
The aim of the Federation and the Church has been achieved. What’s next? Would they want to kill all rogue Transcendents?
Although this possibility is slim, there are tens of thousands of transcendent people in the entire Mysterious Fair, mixed with a few ordinary people. If they are all killed here, the impact it would cause might be even more sensational than the killing of Moron!… Of course, all negative.
“But… The omen I received in my dream didn’t point to Moron… It wasn’t this battle, was it… what’s coming next?”
Su Lu’s pupils contracted as he accompanied Rod to the center of the fair, near the grand auction house.
He knew he had to find a way to escape.
At this point, the glow sealing the Secret Realm had not faded.
In the center of the fair, a large number of occupational people have gathered, anxious and abuzz with discussions.
Aside from that, there were faint cries, mourning for the unfortunate ones who happened to be at the battlefield of the Legend.
“Ladies and gentlemen…”
A gentle voice emerged from the void, echoing around: “What just happened was only for capturing the federal fugitive. Next… We need your assistance to investigate.”
“We won’t let any villain escape, and we won’t slander any good people. In ten minutes, an exit will open, and those who wish to leave must have their identities cleared!”
“Ten hours later, we will conduct a thorough inspection of the Secret Realm! This is also for the safety of the upcoming exchange convention…”
The voice was gentle and slow, but it carried an unimaginable determination.
Upon hearing the words, the Transcendent people immediately broke into discussion, some even nervously pacing on the spot.
They were mostly rogue Transcendents, hiding their identities is second nature to them, how could they be willing to be exposed under the spotlight?
Not to mention, there were undoubtedly some members of the Ancient Snake Society and Black Death Society mixed amongst them now.
“This is unjust treatment, protest!”
“We stand together, we will fight them!”
Several voices of seduction resounded, but sadly received a meager response.
After all, they were facing the Federation and the Church, who have just taken down a Fifth Level. Who dares to make a move now?
“For the remaining actions, on top of hunting down the evil, could potentially be a rehearsal of the Duke Act… Have we become the guinea pigs and the pilot?”
Su Lu muttered in a low voice.
If they fail to suppress and clear out even this group of people, then the so-called Professional Registration Bill in the future would be a joke.
“Seems like it…”
Rod shrugged, seemingly not too concerned.
He was half a member of the Church of Light, and had never committed any wicked deeds… except for using fake documents to deceive people!
Besides, his teacher was an old Demon Hunter of the Church of Light, he had absolutely nothing to worry about.
Apart from him, most Transcendents and ordinary people were willing to trust the authorities.
Only a small group with guilty consciences, were getting anxious like ants on a hot pan, for example… Su Lu!
“How will the Federation and the Church inspect?”
He tugged at Rod’s sleeve, asking in a low voice.
“Very stringent… It should include camp detection, Breath detection, and even Divination if there are difficult determinations…”
Rod thought Su Lu was worried about other aspects: “You’d better take off that mask.”
‘So, it means, one would definitely be exposed? Makes sense… There must be a Legendary Occupational Person on the other side. Damn…’
Su Lu pondered that he had shed a lot of blood from the Church of Light and the Eleventh Bureau, while there was a chance he might get through by bluffing, he didn’t dare to gamble!
If he lost, he would lose everything!
‘Is this my real crisis?’
He saw an exit to the market, a gateway of light emerged, two rows of people from the Eleventh Bureau and Church of Light walked out, preparing to ‘audit’ with solemn faces.
They were just the first step, there might be high-level Occupational Persons and special Marvels as double insurance later!
Some people with a clear conscience, after some consideration, went ahead and walked over.
Most people were still watching on the spot.
At that moment, the voice rang again: “In ten hours, we will carry out a forced inspection, and by then, all those in hiding will be treated as enemies!”
With the terrifying methods the opponent used to find Moron, no Occupational Person had confidence that they could hide.
Finally, another group of people moved towards the exit.
‘Damn…’
Su Lu took a deep breath, staring at the semi-transparent sealing light: ‘Although this light doesn’t seem to block the upper realm of the Spirit World, my ‘Evil Spirit Knight’ card has been consumed, unable to traverse the Spirit World again, even if I release it completely, it might not break through… Besides, it would definitely backlash me first.’
‘Even if I could pass through Dimension and the Spirit World, maybe that Angel is waiting for me…’
‘Dilemma! No… There’s still a chance.’
Su Lu looked at Rod, giving him an apologetic smile: “Sorry… We part ways here.”
“What?”
Rod was taken aback but soon realized: “You…”
He grabbed Su Lu’s shoulder, but the next moment, the Shadow Clone turned into nothingness.
“Ah!”
Rod wanted to let out a cry but dared not to in order to not draw attention to Su Lu: “Why… Why is this happening?”
He understood his younger brother, knowing that once he made a choice, he would stick to it firmly.
And…, what made him lose confidence in passing the inspection must surely be an astonishing big case!
“I mustn’t panic… Su Lu might still have a way to escape.”
Rod forced himself to remain calm, observing the people around him.
Inside the auction house, in a meeting room.
“Check? Who gave them the authority? To examine the private property of my Harris family?”
An old man with white hair and beard bellowed, his voice filled with terror.
“Hehe… They’re not ordinary law enforcers, but real privileged departments, you can protest afterwards, but now… It’s useless!”
A young man was casually trimming his nails: “Dear Uncle Banjia… I remember you once assassinated a bishop of the Goddess of Light, right? With this kind of experience, you might not pass even the first inspection!”
