Chapter 135： Circus (3 in 1)

Chapter 135 Circus (three in one)

"..."

When the others heard Maggie's words, they couldn't help falling into silence.

As the only [Sequence 8] in the circus organization, her status is still very high. Especially after both the regiment leader and the old guy were killed, the only one became the only one.

But she is not very popular on weekdays, and other members don't like to deal with this girl, mainly because she has a problem with her mind.

Except when dispensing medicine for the organization, I can’t see her. She likes to be alone in the corner all the time, and talks to herself all the time, and even occasionally laughs and dances excitedly.

The members of the circus only find this kind of mentally abnormal person scary.

"Since Maggie doesn't make a statement, none of us can convince the other, so let's act separately."

The burly man in the vest said.

"Okay, but everyone else has to go with us."

The short-haired woman took a deep breath, and pointed to the people leaning against the wall in the shadows.

The man with the beard and the burly vest sank, but Maggie spoke again:

"No, they can't go with you."

"Ok?"

The short-haired woman's fingers froze, and the soot fell down.

"Why? Without the help of peripheral members, how can we act with just us two superhumans?"

"None of my shit!"

Maggie suddenly showed a fierce expression on her face, and she stared straight at the short-haired girl.

"They are all gone, who will test the medicine for me in the future?!"

The others were shocked.

Not only because of Maggie's sudden anger, but also because of her words.

Drug testing?

They have never heard of this matter, could it be that...

"The head of the group hid it from us and used peripheral members to test the medicine for you?!"

The burly man in the vest said in a deep voice.

"Excellent medicines all require sacrifices... Otherwise, how do you think the 'Quiet Elixir' and the 'Blood Vial' came about?"

Maggie said.

The other four couldn't help lowering their heads, looked at the two medicine bottles on their waists, and remained silent.

The peripheral members leaning against the wall did not respond.

At this time, Maggie suddenly changed from a sitting position to a kneeling position, and immediately lay down on the ground, sniffing something like a dog.

Others frowned, thinking she was ill again.

"There are mice!"

Maggie whispered.

"It's normal to have mice, this is an abandoned factory building."

The short-haired girl threw the cigarette **** into the fire and said helplessly.

"There are a lot of mice!"

Maggie continued.

Everyone realized something was wrong, and those who were sitting quickly stood up and looked towards the door together.

The densely packed rats had surrounded them at some point.

The doorways, the pillars, the rusty machine tools, the beams and the windows are all pairs of small black eyes that reflect light.

"Damn! Someone is watching us!"

The short-haired girl took out a dagger.

Da da…

In the dead and silent factory building, apart from the crackling sound of the fire burning, there are only crisp and clear footsteps coming slowly.

"I have an idea here, I don't know what you think."

A young man's voice came.

In the shadows, many mice ran away one after another, and a man wearing a black dress, a black top hat, and holding a silver cane slowly walked in front of them.

"Who are you?"

The bearded man looked solemn and asked aloud.

"Jack, Jack Speight..."

The black-haired young man was tall and straight, holding a silver cane in one hand, and pulled down the brim of his hat with the other.

He showed a polite smile on his face, and then said:

"Everyone in the 'Circus', you can call me 'Mr. Spades'."

"Spades... Jack? The guy who was wanted by the whole city some time ago, what are you doing here?"

The man next to the short-haired girl said coldly.

"Well... I just care about your future, and I came here to advise you. I just said I have an idea, why don't you listen to it?"

Chen Lun laughed.

"Oh? What an idea, tell me, maybe..."

Halfway through the man's speech, the man suddenly raised his arm and aimed the flintlock at the black-haired young man.

His eyes were cold, and his finger pulled the trigger.

Boom!

A blood hole appeared between the man's eyebrows, his eyes widened, and he fell to the ground.

Everyone was startled, and turned their heads to see that the black-haired young man was holding a revolver, with blue smoke billowing from the gun.

"Hey, he was the one who prepared to do it first...you can't blame me."

Chen Lun's smile did not change, looking at the remaining four people.

Then, he pointed the muzzle of the revolver at the short-haired woman.

"Ma'am, did you plan to rush over and stab me when that guy shot?"

The heart of the woman with heavy makeup jumped.

Her expression changed slightly, and immediately put away the short knife in her hand, and squeezed out a smile.

"Absolutely not, sir, you misunderstood."

As soon as the words fell, she turned into an afterimage and ran back quickly.

As [Conspiracy Faction Sequence 9-Thief], she was agile and quickly rushed to the back door.

Skillfully opened the rusty iron door, drilled out, and escaped from the factory building.

She walked down the dark alley, turned and turned, and finally left the entire industrial area and came to the street. Looking back, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when no one came after her.

"Huh... Fortunately, I run fast, that inexplicable guy is too mysterious, I always feel that I will be very dangerous if I meet him..."

The short-haired girl walked forward quickly, and saw a carriage parked by the side of the road.

She was overjoyed, and hurried over to wake up the dozing driver, and said to go to the train station.

Then she lifted the curtain of the carriage, sat on the leather bench, and began to think about the next action.

"Leave Amber City first, that damned guy cost me a lot of money... The big forces behind the leader should have plans in other cities, maybe you can try it.

For a wild transcendent like me, it would be really dangerous not to quickly find an organization as a backer. "

Suddenly, she suddenly found that there was a mouse at her feet in the carriage, looking up at her.

Boom!

The boots trampled the mouse to death on the carpet of the carriage, spattering a pool of blood.

The short-haired girl was still in shock, ignored the carriage, opened the curtain and rushed out.

Glancing at the driver who was driving with his back turned to her, she snatched it up and stole the money bag from his waist.

Immediately afterwards, he rolled on the ground to relieve his strength, looked at the belongings in his hand, but was shocked to find that it was actually a short knife.

The touch is obviously a money bag, why did it become a short knife...?

The coachman carries a short knife with him, which may be interpreted as self-defense, but why...

This short knife is so familiar, is it very similar to my own?

Raising her head, her eyes widened, and she returned to the dilapidated factory building.

The fire was still burning, and the black-haired youth was still in front of him.

The other companions looked at her solemnly and looked at her strangely.

In her ears, the man's deep and magnetic laughter suddenly sounded:

"Look, she is the one who is going to do it, and the knives are all picked up..."

The short-haired woman has a frightened face and opens her mouth wide.

"No, no...I don't!"

Boom!

A gunshot echoed in the dilapidated factory building.

"Don't act rashly!"

The bearded man grabbed the wrist of the burly vest man and gave a low drink.

Maggie sat behind the fire with a completely indifferent expression.

The people leaning against the wall slowly gathered around and walked out of the shadows. They were a group of expressionless men and women. They were all dressed in black pajamas and held short knives in their hands.

"Don't do anything!"

The bearded beard stopped the peripheral members.

The two extraordinary people, one in front of the other, died within a few seconds of the black-haired young man's revolver. Both the bearded man and the burly vest man were terrified.

Especially the death of the short-haired woman was extremely weird.

In their eyes, she seemed to be sleepwalking, with changing expressions, laughing and startling, talking to herself, and finally picked up her short knife, as if she wanted to desperately.

"What do you want to say, just say it..."

The bearded man took a deep breath and spoke.

"Listen to me and finish speaking earlier, it's fine if you don't."

Chen Lun shook his head and put away the revolver.

He put the silver cane in front of him, folded his hands on it, and looked directly at the three of them.

"It is not easy to set foot in the mysterious field and become an extraordinary person. The boss of your organization and the extraordinary combat power are basically exhausted. Facing the imminent manhunt, you have to flee all the way..."

He smiled slightly.

"Instead of traveling long distances, it is better to stay in Amber City, I am willing to take you in."

The man with the beard and the burly vest frowned, his words obviously meant to include them. But the origin of this person in front of them is unknown, it is difficult to be trusted, and they have never thought about changing themselves to a boss so easily.

"Puchi—haha!"

At this moment, Maggie suddenly burst into belly laughs.

Everyone looked at her with puzzled expressions.

"You bastard, it's really shameless for you to be able to speak so beautifully!"

Maggie laughed out of tears and said loudly.

Chen Lun frowned.

He recognized the girl, "Doctor" Maggie.

The "elite monster" who was dug out by the players together with the "big eater" Dolly in the previous life and beaten to death in groups.

The reason why I have a little impression of her is because this guy is a bit special.

When she was fighting the players, she threw the bottle with her life, covered the floor with poisonous gas, and even killed herself when she became crazy.

With blood spitting out of his mouth and a playful smile on his face, he knocked out colorful potions indiscriminately, killing 1,000 enemies and harming 800, which really disgusted the players.

The problem is that she is [Nature Faction Sequence 8-Healer], not [Earth Faction Sequence 7-Alchemist], and the potions of the two are completely different.

The pharmacist who was supposed to focus on healing seems to have gone astray and become like a "Breaking Bad".

What's even more outrageous is that after discovering the undead of the fourth natural disaster, Maggie not only did not fear negative emotions such as shrinking back, but was so excited that she shouted "My dream can be realized!", and then died tragically on the player's hand.

Chen Lun suddenly had an idea.

He took a step forward, the man with the beard and the burly vest arched up reflexively, and touched his waist.

But when they saw that the black-haired youth showed no signs of doing anything, they were relieved, and immediately wiped their sweat in embarrassment.

"Maggie, you were kicked out by the Natural Sect... They regard you as a different kind and don't agree with your point of view."

Chen Lun looked down at the girl with messy hair, and said softly.

Natural sects are not the seven righteous gods. They are not allowed to preach in the empire, so it is difficult to see them in the general metropolis.

But things are not absolute. There are traces of them in the Coleridge Forest on the northern border of the empire. Because of the geographical location, the empire has limited jurisdiction over there, so it has become the most important habitat of the natural sect.

Maggie was a little surprised, staring at the pretty face in front of her, silent for a few seconds, and said:

"How did you know?"

Chen Lun smiled slightly, and took a deep look at her.

"Fate guides me..."

Maggie muttered the word fate, as if she understood something.

"Join my team, I agree with your philosophy, and will support you in doing what you want to do in the future..."

Chen Lun spoke slowly.

Maggie laughed, tilted her head to look at him, and asked:

"Did fate also tell you what I want to do?"

Chen Lun bent down slightly, pulled the brim of his hat, and stared at the girl calmly with his eyes under the black hair.

"Of course, it tells me that you want to change the world... combine nature with flesh and blood, create an unparalleled healing medicine, make the world pain-free, and do things that even gods cannot do."

Maggie's pupils shrank slightly under the reflection of the firelight.

Immediately afterwards, she heard the words of the black-haired young man again, and said slowly:

"I can provide you with funds, materials, venues... and excellent drug testers. They have immortal bodies and are willing to dedicate themselves to your cause, because they also have the same ambition as us."

Maggie's heart beat faster, her face was flushed, and her eyes were fixed on him.

Finally, she stood up abruptly.

"What you said is true?!"

"certainly."

Chen Lun smiled politely, stood up straight, and stretched out his hand.

"Miss Maggie, I, Jack Speight, sincerely invite you to join my team."

Maggie giggled, wiped her hands on her clothes twice, and shook hands with Chen Lun.

"Okay! I would like to join!"

Chen Lun nodded in satisfaction, then let go of his hand, and turned to look at the bearded and burly man in the vest.

Seeing this, they knew it was time to express their opinion.

The two looked at each other, and finally gritted their teeth and nodded.

"Okay, Mr. Jack, we are also willing to join..."

"Just what should these peripheral members do? They have all signed the "Shadow Contract" with the... former head of the regiment. Although the former head is dead, they can only obey our orders."

The bearded man said in a deep voice.

After hearing this, Chen Lun couldn't help laughing in a low voice.

The man with the beard and the burly vest showed doubts on his face, and then surprise appeared on their faces.

The black-haired young man raised his hand, stretched out his index finger, and wrote casually in mid-air.

Flames emerged from his fingertips, stagnated in mid-air, turned into strange and profound words, and finally combined into a familiar contract text.

"This is...'Shadow Contract'!"

"How could even Your Excellency...?!"

The hearts of the two jumped. This is the powerful force behind the former head, and the contract ceremony mastered. Why can this Lord Jack perform it?

The image of the black-haired youth once again became mysterious and unfathomable.

"Since one of the signatories is deceased, it will be much easier... It seems that your former leader was not very generous. The contract signed with these thirty-two peripheral members only used one [low-sequence conspiracy faction] Mysterious substance]."

Chen Lun said softly, and took out two copies.

Throw it casually, throw it into the text formed by the flames, and finally merge into it, covering it with a layer of gray shadow.

Many men and women with expressionless faces closed their eyes and immediately saluted Chen Lun.

At this moment, he seemed to be the king who was defended.

The man with the beard and the burly vest saw this scene, his heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably, and he felt a sense of awe.

The black-haired young man turned around and looked at them. The two immediately bowed their heads slightly to show respect.

But I heard the other party's voice in my ear:

"What are you waiting for, go and sign your name."

"?!"

The man with the beard and the burly vest froze for a moment.

The two looked at each other, and finally bit the bullet, gritted their teeth and signed their names on the "Shadow Contract".

Because they know that if they don't sign, then there is only a dead end.

Chen Lun looked at the two names on the contract with satisfaction. The bearded man was called "Gorlov", and the burly man in the vest was called "Patton". Both of them belonged to [Conspiracy Faction Sequence 9-Thief].

"[Thief] is very sensitive and not easy to be noticed by others, but it is quite suitable for me to do some trivial things..."

Chen Lun thought to himself.

He flicked his finger lightly, and signed his alias "Jack Speight" in the corner of "Conspiracy Contract".

All the flame texts burned fiercely, and finally exploded and dissipated with a bang, like a small firework. At the same time, a distant clinking of glasses was heard in the ears of everyone present.

Ding-

Immediately afterwards, the illusion of being stared at was fleeting, and a murmur that seemed to be nothing came:

"I testify."

There was a feeling in the hearts of everyone, that anyone who violated the contract might suffer an irresistible horror.

Chen Lun took a deep breath, secretly marveling at the power of the high-ranking person in the conspiracy sequence, which made his hair stand on end.

Fortunately, the content of this contract is to let these remnants of the circus obey their own orders without any restrictions on themselves.

【Has become the new head of the circus, C-level mission: Circus, complete! 】

【Acquired mission rewards: 7000 experience points, 15 gold pounds, 1 regional reputation and [mysterious book of conspiracy faction]*1】

Chen Lun bent down to pick up the two weird objects on the ground, and threw them to Golov and Barton.

"Take these two things and use them."

Immediately afterwards, he casually explained the effects and costs of these two monsters, which surprised Golov and Barton.

Although it is only a [D-level monster], without trial and error, you can learn information just by looking at it. This kind of power is really surprising.

They immediately remembered the conversation between the new regiment leader and Maggie just now.

Guided by fate...

The two looked at each other, as if they understood the truth.

Is it because the leader has the power of fate that he did this?

What a mysterious and powerful force this is!

"Thank you for your reward, Captain."

Golov and Patton bowed their heads respectfully and saluted Chen Lun.

Chen Lun waved his hand lightly, then said with a smile:

"You're welcome, the team will still need you in the future, work hard, and I will also find a way forward for you, so that you can go further in the mysterious field."

"Yes, Captain."

The heads of Golov and Patton are lower.

Chen Lun nodded, and then looked at the group of peripheral members. These people were the killers originally trained by the circus. After taking the diluted extraordinary substance, they gained a strong physique, and after rigorous training, they finally "produced" the elite .

Everyone is comparable to the two elite bodyguards beside Butler Feldman.

"Well... the Transcendent organization I was looking forward to has taken shape. Next, I still need to work hard..."

he thought to himself.

"Director, will our organization still be called 'Circus' from now on? But..."

Golov made a sound at this time, with some hesitation in his tone.

Chen Lun knew what he wanted to say.

The force behind the circus is an extremely large extraordinary organization. There are many groups like the "circus" in the Cuisul Empire, spread over many cities.

Chen Lun is no stranger to this, it is called "Mutual Aid Association".

This organization was behind many major missions in the previous life, and the one that impressed Chen Lun the most was the "chief assassination case". Outside the southwestern border of the Cuisul Empire, the chief of a small bordering kingdom was successfully assassinated by killers sent by the "Mutual Aid Society", so that he "changed the dynasty" to some extent.

At that time, the killer used a [A-level monster-closing speech], a simple-looking double-barreled shotgun, and killed the chief with a single blow.

Chen Lun knows this famous creepy shotgun. Its characteristic is that it can kill more deadly people in high positions. It is the most dreamed weapon for assassins...

"As I remember, the 'Black Knife Brotherhood' was separated from the 'Mutual Aid Society'."

Chen Lun thought to himself.

"But the most elite members of the 'Mutual Aid Association' did not leave..."

Now that the circus has changed hands, if this name is still retained, the Mutual Aid Association has not received contact for a long time, and will definitely send someone to investigate. As long as you inquire a little, according to the incident in the gallery, the circus is almost wiped out, and then you can easily know the current situation of the circus by contacting the two.

In this way, unnecessary trouble will be caused.

"It doesn't matter, just keep this name."

Chen Lun laughed.

He still didn't say a word, that is, he was going to fish with this to attract people from the mutual aid association. These guys hide extremely deeply, and I'm afraid it will take some effort to find them, and I really need them in my follow-up plan.

So let them find it themselves.

Moreover, Chen Lun has a good impression of the name "Circus" and does not intend to change it.

"Could it be because I joined the [Fate faction]...?"

He can't help shaking his head.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Lun asked Patton to take a third of the peripheral members to Xiashuitan to take over the Iron Fist Gang. Originally, after Gary's death, he paid little attention to the affairs of the Iron Fist Gang, which was still leaderless.

It would be a good choice for Barton, a transcendent, to be the leader of the Iron Fist Gang. With the addition of these more than ten peripheral members, the Iron Fist Gang will definitely become the strongest force in Xiashuitan.

After the public beta, it can also be the first stop to attract players. At that time, a series of screenings will be carried out, and then qualified players will be recruited into the circus.

"Maggie, Golov, take the rest of you and come back with me."

Looking at the backs of Barton and others, Chen Lun disappeared at the door of the factory building, turned his head and said.

"Yes, Captain."

*

*

The next day.

Chen Lun sat at the desk, holding a pen to write and draw. The content recorded on it was his plan to be completed step by step—

Build the circus into a reasonable, legal, and justifiable extraordinary organization.

When the paper was full of words, he picked it up and browsed it several times, imprinted it in his mind, and then revised it after thinking.

Immediately, fire burst out of nowhere in his hand and burned the paper.

Although Chinese characters are used for writing, it is unlikely that anyone in this world can understand it, but to be on the safe side, it is better to burn it.

"Well... Next, let's wait for Noah's arrival."

Chen Lun pondered.

Then, he took out the [Mysterious Book of Conspiracy Factions], intending to get the sequence path contained in it.

This book is called "Close the Door". He glanced at it and felt that he seemed to have forgotten something, but it was not very important, so he shook his head and turned the page.

【You discovered the mysterious book of the conspiracy faction! 】

【"Close the Door" (5% progress)】

【Through reading carefully, you have obtained 25 experience points】

【You discovered the knowledge of the hidden transcendent path (complete)! 】

【Conspiracy Faction Sequence 9-Thief】

"Three hidden pathways are gathered together, and six of the seven righteous **** sequence pathways have been mastered, leaving only the [Sequence 9] of the [Deep Sea faction]..."

Chen Lun closed the book, took back the blood poem ring, and planned to find a time to read all five books and get the accompanying experience points and point rewards.

Meow…

With a cat meow, the little white cat Bibu jumped onto the table and moved his little head close to him, looking forward to Chen Lun's touch.

"Hey, the little one came just in time."

Chen Lun grabbed the back of its neck and lifted it gently.

Immediately, under the dazed eyes of the little white cat, he took out the [Order Revolver], and put it on the revolver casually.

"It needs warmth, you just sleep on it, good boy."

Meow!
