Chapter 62： who is going to frame me

Chapter 62 Who wants to frame me

The buckshot hit the tree trunk, splashing a cloud of sawdust.

In sight, the tall figure disappeared into the shadows.

"Damn it!"

The killer hiding behind a building cursed.

In the corner not far away, another masked man urged:

"Find him quickly, it will be resolved within 30 seconds, and the patrolling guards will be here soon!"

"knew!"

The killer responded impatiently, and just as he was about to change his position, his protruding head was grabbed by a big hand.

Snapped!

The force in the big hand was so great that the man found himself unable to break free.

Lifting his gaze, the target of the assassination was looking at him expressionlessly. The other party's face was hidden in the backlight, leaving only a pair of indifferent vertical pupils!

The killer made a decisive decision, drew out the short dagger from his waist and stabbed Chen Lun in the abdomen.

Ding!

The imaginary stabbing sensation did not come, and the killer's face changed drastically.

The sharp dagger seemed to hit the steel plate, making a crisp clang. That fleeting dark golden luster was the last color left in his sight.

Chen Lun pushed and retracted the hand holding his head, and pecked at his throat with five fingers together.

Wiping **** fingers across the killer's collar, he turned his head and walked to the other side.

Plop!

The killer just fell to the ground clutching his neck.

【Kill Black Knife Brotherhood members, get 50 experience points】

"Black Knife Brotherhood...? Who is buying my life?"

Chen Lun sneered.

The Black Knife Brotherhood is a notorious killer organization, similar to the Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce, but their business is all about human life.

Chen Lun walked to the end of the alley, and the left and right sides were narrow aisles leading to the other two streets, but he didn't see any other suspicious figures.

"Run away? Good luck..."

Chen Lun said to himself.

He tidied up his top hat, turned and left.

After the sound of footsteps faded away, a black-clothed killer lying on the wall let out a dark breath.

He jumped off the wall and rolled on the ground to relieve his strength.

He raised his head and prepared to retreat, but suddenly his hair stood on end, because he heard a voice in his ear:

"What a rolling donkey."

Turning his head with a stiff neck, the assassination target was standing quietly beside him, looking at him with a smile.

"die!"

The killer was about to draw out his gun to shoot, but felt a pain in his wrist.

Chen Lun kicked off his hand that was in his arms, grabbed his neck, and picked it up like a chicken.

"Who will buy my life?"

The [Siren Song] on the chest lights up slightly, trying to hypnotize the killer.

Unexpectedly, the killer froze all over, and immediately black blood flowed from his seven orifices, and he died on the spot.

"[Conspiracy faction]'s contract, I know..."

Chen Lun casually threw the killer's body on the ground, curling his lips unhappily.

【Trigger C-level task: cloudy clouds】

[Mission description: You seem to be involved in a conspiracy!

Someone launched a series of murders against Viscount Pompeii, and you accidentally touched the interests of some people!

Find out the mastermind behind the scenes and kill the conspiracy! ]

【Mission rewards: 1500 experience points, 2 gold pounds, Pompeii’s favorability and 【Low-sequence flesh and blood faction mysterious book】*1】

"Find a fart!"

Chen Lun took over the task, but he didn't intend to find any mastermind behind it.

Although I am envious of the [Flesh and Flesh faction] sequence path in the task reward, I still have more important things to do, and I am neither free nor lazy.

There is no time limit for the task, so let's let it go.

The failure condition is mostly the death of Viscount Pompeii, but Chen Lun stays in the manor most of the time every day, and he dares to kill any one who comes.

The figure of Barney flashed in his mind, and most of the things were related to this guy.

"Come on, Zhengchou can't catch you."

…

The next day, Chen Lun arrived at Pompeii Manor early.

While Rebecca was still resting, he slipped into the study to read.

The yellow book containing the extraordinary knowledge of [Natural Faction] is very thin, and it took Chen Lun two hours to complete the progress.

【Through reading carefully, you gained 450 experience points】

【The natural faction mysterious book "On the Survival Instinct" (progress 100%) has been read through! 】

【You got 1 additional skill point and 1 attribute point】

"The needle does not poke!"

Chen Lun gave himself a thumbs up, then put the yellow paper into his pocket, ready to take it home after get off work.

He was planning to look for the next "treasure" in the study when he was suddenly disturbed.

Still an old friend, Binoz, knocked on the door and gently reminded him to go down for dinner. Today's class is scheduled for the afternoon, and it's already lunch time.

At the luncheon.

Chen Lun and the Viscount chatted about the Pompeii family, inquiring about some news.

Originally, he just wanted to know some history about the past, but accidentally learned that Viscount Pompeii had an adopted son.

"Vigrei is the son of my comrade-in-arms. The 'overseas landing battle' was quite tragic, and my comrade-in-arms died on that island forever...

His wife later remarried, leaving only Vigari, so I adopted him. "

Viscount Pompeii sighed, drank the wine and said with emotion:

"Vigari is very much like his father. He dedicated himself to the empire. He has been fighting outside until now, and rarely returns."

During the period, he asked Butler Binoz to bring the photo album and showed Chen Lun a look.

It was a young man with short brown hair, wearing a military uniform, and he was serious.

Chen Lun felt a little familiar, but couldn't remember where he saw it.

After the luncheon.

Rebecca excitedly took a newspaper and quickly "rolled" over.

The wheelchair grunted and rubbed against the floor, scaring Binoz who was always ready to save someone.

"Mr. Jack! You're in the paper!"

Chen Lun took the newspaper, and under Rebecca's guidance, he found himself on a large board.

"- Riot at Cuidi Zoo! Tigers come out of cages! Elephants kill people!

The mysterious young man used magic to subdue the beast? Take control of the beast! ? "

He read the title, and below is his back standing next to two elephants, with only a blurred side face showing.

Chen Lun couldn't help frowning.

This news report is quite detailed, as if witnessing the whole process at the scene. And the description is very exaggerated, with strong conspiracy theory speculation about Chen Lun's identity and "magic".

The whole article did not tell about the injured people, but just fabricated a double-digit death toll, and relied on its own "magic" for suspicion.

Although he didn't say it directly, there is a sense that he caused the tragedy to happen.

"The Cypress Leaf Post has always been this kind of gimmick 'story' made up indiscriminately, either lace news or rumors..."

The butler Binoz on the side followed after watching, and jokingly expressed his opinion.

Viscount Pompeii seemed to have thought of something, walked over and said softly to Chen Lun:

"This newspaper, like the zoo, is owned by Earl Bradley. The incident at the zoo has had too much negative impact. I'm afraid they want to find someone to divert attention...

During this period, special departments may come to you, Mr. Jack. "

He patted Chen Lun on the shoulder.

"But don't worry, I'll fix them up for you...

But you'd better live in the manor during this time, I'm afraid they will use some tricks on you. "
