After Qian Fan finished speaking, he left.

Chen Ling stood in place, involuntarily recalling Wu Youdong's lowered head and clenched fists...

Wu Youdong lowered his head, then what about him? If it were in the past life, Chen Ling might not be much different from Wu Youdong, only by lowering his head could he find a way to survive in society, but this time...

Chen Ling slowly turned his head, looking at the surviving half of Bingquan Street, his gaze icy cold.

Want me to bow my head? Heh......

Zone Three.

Basement.

A cold gust of wind swept up from nothingness, howling as it struck Chu Muyun!

The kerosene lamp on the ground swayed violently, extinguishing in an instant, plunging the entire basement into silence and darkness, Chu Muyun groaned, falling heavily to the ground!

He raised his head in astonishment, his eyes full of shock and disbelief! Just now, in the moment he activated the Eye of Origin, he seemed to see pairs of bright red pupils, glancing from the endless distance of nothingness to here...

Just that glance made his path of spiritual enlightenment tremble! "This, this is..." Chu Muyun stood still for a long time, then suddenly came to his senses.

He immediately got up from the ground, rushed up the steps frantically, and returned to the convenience store! "What's wrong with you, Black 7?" The woman frowned slightly at Chu Muyun's sudden and flustered appearance.

"...I saw it.”

“What?”

“'World Annihilation'." The woman was puzzled for a moment, not understanding what it meant.

"That guy is a 'World Annihilation' disaster!" Chu Muyun said firmly.

"That's impossible." The woman immediately shook her head, "No one can merge with 'World Annihilation', even the leader of the Fusionists today cannot...

you must have seen it wrong.”

“I definitely didn't! Its gaze even made my spiritual path feel fear!”

“This...”

“We must inform the Red King and the Gray King immediately." Chu Muyun walked to the counter, took out pen and paper, and quickly wrote.

"If this is true...

it's going to be a big mess." The woman immediately realized the seriousness of the situation, "Even if the Red King and the Gray King come together, we may not be able to deal with him, unless the Aurora Lord also joins us..." Hearing this, Chu Muyun's fingertips paused.

"What's wrong?" the woman asked.

"'World Annihilation' level disaster, possessing the power to annihilate a human realm." Chu Muyun turned his head slowly to look at her, his eyes flashing with madness, "So if we kill him and release 'World Annihilation'...

Stolen content warning: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.

then we won't have to execute that plan, right?" The woman was stunned.

"That's a 'World Annihilation'! Are you crazy?!" The woman stopped herself halfway through her words, shook her head, "Almost forgot, you formal members are all crazy...”

“I was just speaking casually." Chu Muyun pushed up his glasses, calmed down, and said calmly, "Let's first consult the Gray King and the Red King..." After finishing the letter, Chu Muyun handed it to the woman, who glanced at him.

"By the way, weren't you supposed to conduct an absorption assessment on him? Are you still going to do it?”

“...I will.”

“As the recommender, what is your rating for him...?”

“S+" Chu Muyun's expression was unusually serious, "Extremely dangerous." Knock, knock, knock...

The crisp knocking on the door interrupted the leisurely tea-drinking of the many Second District enforcers, causing them to look around in confusion.

"Who would come at this time?”

“I don't know..." Qian Fan said as he opened the door of the teahouse.

Chen Ling was standing quietly outside the door, smiling and waving to the enforcers inside.

These are the enforcers from District Two who were originally supposed to be in charge of Ice Spring Street, but now they are all here drinking tea, leaving everything to Chen Ling and Wu Youdong, which in itself indicates some issues...

Now it seems that what Wu Youdong said is true.

This group of enforcers is colluding with those people from Ice Spring Street.

Instead of conducting a search, they only sent two new recruits, purely for show.

This way, in case the headquarters of Aurora City asks questions, they can say they are short-staffed and that Chen Ling and the others are handling everything on Ice Spring Street, thus shifting the blame and at the same time maintaining good relations with Ice Spring Street, killing two birds with one stone.

When Chen Ling arrived, the enforcers immediately lowered their heads and drank tea without any intention of conversing with him.

"Is it you? Why are you here?" Qian Fan was surprised to see Chen Ling.

"Regarding my work, there are some things that need clarification from you all.”

“What things?”

“My task is to question the survivors of Ice Spring Street about information regarding the disaster, right?”

“Yes.”

“And what if they don't cooperate?" Upon hearing this question, Qian Fan sneered inwardly but patiently replied, "If they don't cooperate, you find a way to make them cooperate...

We are enforcers with the authority to enforce the law.”

“So, can I use force?”

“Of course." Chen Ling couldn't help but laugh when he heard the other enforcers in the room.

"I understand now." Chen Ling nodded, "If they don't cooperate, I will bring them here for you to deal with.”

“Good, go quickly.

Your assessment will end tomorrow, and you must complete the task today." As Chen Ling left, Qian Fan closed the door behind him and several unrestrained laughs followed.

"This kid is really stubborn...”

“Even more so than Wu Youdong.”

“Did you hear that? He's going to use force...

Hasn't he heard about what Ice Spring Street is like?”

“Well, he comes from a poor background, where would he get all that information? Don't make fun of him...

Let's just drink tea." Faint laughter seeped through the door crack, but Chen Ling paid no attention.

At this moment, his focus was on the prompts flashing before his eyes:

[Audience Expectation +1...+1...+1]

"Chen's Directing Rule, Article 13:”

“In a situation where the conflict is already clear, emotions can be appropriately heightened through character relationships, pulling the audience's emotions, enhancing the satisfaction when the original conflict erupts, and even adding a post-positioned conflict climax."

Of course, Chen Ling could directly cause a scene in Ice Spring Street, but that would result in a relatively simple conflict, and the [Audience Expectation] wouldn't increase much...

So, he chose to involve the enforcers.

Chen Ling walked through the half-ruined Ice Spring Street and arrived at the place with the most survivors...

the Black Axe Tavern.

This place is usually where the residents of Ice Spring Street frequent, and now that half the street is in ruins, it has become a temporary residence for some people.

Yesterday, Wu Youdong was insulted here.

But Chen Ling was not him...

With a survey form in one hand, Chen Ling pushed open the tavern door.

As the creaking sound echoed, the entire tavern fell into silence.

Countless cold and menacing eyes turned towards the door, focusing on Chen Ling.

"Hello, I am the enforcer Chen Ling...”

“Are you ready to answer my questions?"”
