The morning sun sprinkled on Chen Ling's face, his eyelashes trembled lightly, and he slowly opened his eyes...

"I'm back..." He rubbed his eyes, took a deep breath.

After drawing the prize, he stayed on the stage for a long time, still unable to find any way out.

It was only after the stage bell rang and the curtain opened that he automatically returned.

"Current expectation value 23%...

approaching the deadline again."

Chen Ling recalled the screen characters before leaving, murmuring to himself, "I have to do something quickly..."

"Brother..." The blanket was pulled back, Chen Yan rubbed his red eyes and sat up from the bed.

"Morning."

"Morning."

Chen Ling looked at the clock on the wall, took out the last few copper coins from his pocket, handed them to Chen Yan, "I need to go out for a while, not sure what time I'll be back, you have something to eat first today..."

"Brother, where are you going?" "To catch myself." "...?" Chen Ling put on a cotton coat, tucked the envelope given by the enforcer yesterday into his chest, turned around and rubbed Chen Yan's head, "Don't ask too much, just wait for me to come back honestly, understand?"

"Understood." Chen Yan nodded obediently.

After watching Chen Ling leave, Chen Yan got out of bed, looked at the two big holes in front of the door, and frowned.

"How am I going to fix this..." He looked at the few copper coins left in his hand, silently put them away, took out a heavy hammer and wooden board from the house, and began to compare sizes.

Just then, a figure appeared behind the big hole, startling Chen Yan.

It was a man in a wool coat, with a deep blue scarf around his neck and a pair of silver wire glasses on his nose, looking artistic and wise.

But at this moment, as he looked at the house with only two big holes left, a hint of confusion appeared in his wise eyes...

He wanted to say something, but felt it was impolite, so he tried to knock on the door.

However, he circled the house and couldn't find where the door was.

He returned to the hole and looked inside.

"Do you need something?" Chen Yan tilted his head.

"Is Mr.

Chen Ling here?" Hearing his brother's name, Chen Yan's eyes flashed with caution.

He looked the man up and down, and asked again, "Do you need something?" The man took off his white gloves, took out a letter from his coat pocket, unfolded it in his hand, and calmly spoke to the house, "I heard that Mr.

Chen needs a [doctor]." "So, I'm here." ...

The chilly wind blew into the collar, making Chen Ling shiver involuntarily.

"Young man, where are you going? Can I give you a ride?" A thin, dark-skinned man dragging a yellow cart hurriedly caught up with Chen Ling, grinning with a row of yellow teeth.

This narrative has been purloined without the author's approval. Report any appearances on Amazon.

Chen Ling glanced at him, "Enforcer Headquarters."

"I know the way, just dropped off two there, you're all going to be reserve seats, right? In that case, I see you're also destined, I charge them ten, I'll charge you seven, how about it?"

"...Forget it."

"Six, six it is, can't go any lower."

"I don't have any money on me."

"No money?" The man frowned, glanced at him, and walked away muttering with the yellow cart, "No money to be an enforcer...

bad luck." Chen Ling: ...? Chen Ling thought that the people in this world have really poor quality, rubbed his frozen hands, and couldn't help but speed up his pace towards the central area of District Three.

Before last night, Chen Ling had been thinking about how to avoid the enforcers from discovering any clues and investigating him again...

now, he had an answer.

That is to become an enforcer.

Become an enforcer, participate in all disaster investigation actions, and then interfere with them, so they can never lock onto him.

"I become, I participate, I disrupt, I run away." This is Chen Ling's current policy.

Chen Ling crossed several streets and finally stopped in front of a giant building that looked like a glass dome.

"Such grandeur..." Chen Ling looked up at the dome and couldn't help but sigh.

"How much budget must have been spent to build this?" In this neighborhood full of two-story mud houses, the appearance of such a unique building stood out conspicuously, like suddenly having an art gallery in a rural area in a past life.

At this moment, several young people were hurrying into the headquarters holding letters, exchanging polite smiles and nods as they passed each other.

There were about seventy people who passed the literary test in District Three, and typically the elimination rate in the martial test was also 50%, so only around thirty people could become enforcers each year.

Although this year's martial test had changed its format, the final elimination rate would remain the same.

In short, everyone entering this building right now was actually a potential competitor.

Chen Ling entered the headquarters gate, under the glass dome, several rows of people were already standing neatly.

Like Chen Ling, they were all dressed in ordinary civilian clothing, standing ten in a row, each one holding their head high and chest out, every muscle in their body tensed, looking like warriors ready to be called at any moment.

Chen Ling arrived late and could only stand at the edge of the last row.

After he took his place, an enforcer glanced at the list and nodded slightly.

"Everyone is here." Another enforcer picked up a prepared speech and was about to speak when the headquarters door was forcefully pushed open, and two figures walked in slowly.

Han Meng threw the burnt cigarette butt to the ground and crushed it under his foot.

The four silver stripes on his black windbreaker sparkled, his gaze calmly sweeping over all the seats, a strange sense of oppression instantly enveloping everyone's minds...

except for Chen Ling.

Chen Ling raised an eyebrow in surprise, his gaze unconsciously falling on the back of Han Meng's head...

He had recovered so quickly from the beating he received yesterday? Is this guy's head made of steel? "It's Han Meng!" "It's really him...

he's here too?" "Who is Han Meng?" "He is the chief enforcer of our District Three, and the only four-stripe enforcer in District Three." "It is said that he is a super genius, promoted to four stripes at the age of 24, and even crushed all the enforcers in Aurora City at the same time...

He is the pride of our Seven Districts!" "Crushed all the enforcers in Aurora City at the same time? Is that true? Since he's so amazing, why wasn't he absorbed into Aurora City?"

"I don't know...

it is said that he had a conflict with a big shot in Aurora City." "I heard he's a great fighter, my mom really likes him."

"...How old is your mom this year?" "Almost fifty."

"..." With Han Meng's appearance, the people in the seats began to whisper, even the many enforcers standing nearby instinctively straightened their posture, looking serious and solemn.

Han Meng stood still under the dome, suddenly feeling a chill at the back of his head, as if someone was scrutinizing his weaknesses...

He subconsciously turned his head and found the group of people in the seats were secretly watching him.

After locking eyes with Han Meng, all the people in the seats lowered their heads, no longer daring to discuss, and the entire headquarters fell into a profound silence.

"My name is Han Meng, currently the highest-ranking official in District Three." Han Meng adjusted his mindset and slowly spoke, "The next three days will be your martial test assessment.

Among you 72, only 30 will be able to stay in the end..." 30 people...

even lower than the expected pass rate.

Chen Ling pondered.

This ratio also puzzled the other people in the seats, and they couldn't help but exchange confused looks.

"However, among these 30 people, there will be 3 who will be granted early access to the 'Ancient Martial Arts Repository'..." When Han Meng said this, the entire headquarters erupted in astonishment, even the enforcers standing nearby widened their eyes.

Chen Ling didn't understand.

And most of the people in the seats didn't understand either.

Upon seeing this, Han Meng calmly explained, "Do you know the difference between enforcers and law enforcement officers?”
