After the people in the blacksmith shop left, Leo felt that things might not be going so smoothly. He should probably consider other ways to enter the green jade area. Even if those methods would cause some turmoil, it didn't matter. It was better than waiting here doing nothing.

Therefore, he directly asked the hotel manager about the Green Jade Guide without any cover-up, and did not hide his distrust of the blacksmith's caravan this time.

Because he was still the subject of key surveillance, the hotel manager immediately reported his inquiry about the guide to the top management of the blacksmith shop, but the top management was busy with other more important matters and did not give any response.

That night, Leo's feeling was fulfilled. Some kind of assassin appeared again. This time he assassinated the new leaders and leaders who were now stabilizing the big forces in the city. By the way, even the famous and powerful leaders of these big forces.

All were assassinated, and only a few escaped.

This assassination was not as secretive as the last assassination of Kit and others. No one knew about the assassination process. The assassin was not discovered until a long time after his death. Most of the assassination this time was completed in full view of the public, and

From the beginning to the end of the assassination, there were people covering and cooperating. It can be seen that these assassins all belong to the same force, and it is a very big force.

Normally, with so many people participating in the assassination, one or two participants should be caught, and then they can be forced to find out who the assassin is. But in the end, those arrested participants were rescued on the way to escort, so about this incident

There is also no clue as to the origin of the assassin.

However, there are also some smart people who speculate that the two assassinations were not carried out by the same group of people, because the methods of the two assassinations were completely different, and there was also a huge gap in the abilities of the people responsible for the assassinations. It is no exaggeration to say that those who were assassinated the first time were

Any of the assassins of the leaders of major forces can definitely be regarded as the top assassins in the entire world. Not to mention assassinating the leaders of the forces in the Red Earth City, it is not difficult to assassinate the bishops and other senior clergy of various churches.

On the other hand, those who carried out the second assassination completely relied on the cooperation of their companions to complete the assassination, and the assassination method was extremely crude. The only saving grace was that they cooperated perfectly with each other. I think this assassination was more like the work of a large assassin organization.

for.

However, things like clues about the assassin were quickly forgotten, because with the perfect completion of this group assassination, the situation in Red Earth City, which was originally on the verge of collapse, was completely disrupted.

Because the internal situation of the first group of big forces that had just stabilized during the assassination this time was really in a leaderless situation. From the top leaders to the middle leaders, they were all dead, and the rest were some bottom leaders.

There is no one within the organization who can convince the crowd, and everyone is coveting the position of leader. Driven by ambition, the sharp knives in each other's hands are directed towards their former companions.

The internal collapse was secondary. What was more important was that this situation of leaderlessness and civil strife allowed the mid-level forces in Red Earth City to see the possibility of further advancement, so chaos swept through the entire Red Earth City and instantly broke out.

The Blacksmith Shop is located in the outermost area of ​​Red Earth City. This is where the most mid-range forces are located. Before anything happened, the Blacksmith Shop could easily suppress these mid-range forces and fully control the decision-making power in this circle of cities. But now the group is leaderless.

The blacksmith shop became a piece of fat meat, and countless hungry and thirsty wolves pounced on it, tore it into pieces and ate its body.

More than a dozen large and small forces besieged the city where the blacksmith shop is located. After a short period of internal fighting, the people in the blacksmith shop seemed to have reached a tacit understanding and began to cooperate with each other to resist the siege of those forces. Although the blacksmith shop was in

The place of construction has considered the situation of being besieged, and defensive walls have been built in the controlled area, but these defensive walls are not enough to stop these ambitious forces, and even if the people in the blacksmith shop have enough

Weapons, but not enough food. As long as the forces involved in the siege can hold on, it won't be long before the people in the blacksmith shop can only surrender, even if the defensive wall of the blacksmith shop is not breached.

This is still the situation in the outer city. There are not many ambitious and powerful mid-range forces in this city. However, the inner city of Red Earth City is home to a large number of mid-range forces that are not weak. Compared with the first-ranked forces, these forces

Those big forces may be a little weak, but they are not too weak. Therefore, when the internal strife of those big forces takes shape, these mid-range forces can't wait to attack them.

And in order to prevent foreign aid from breaking in and affecting the situation, the gate to the inner city was closed or even blocked the moment the action was taken. People on the periphery could only hear the constant sounds of fighting coming from the other end of the city wall. For

The situation in the inner city is completely unknown.

As one of the properties affiliated with the blacksmith shop, the hotel where Leo was located was naturally looted at the same time as those forces attacked the blacksmith shop. However, it was not the mid-level forces in the city who looted it, but those who lived here.

of guests.

The guests living here are all outlaws and wanted criminals who came here to take refuge. They were originally planning to stay here for a while and look for opportunities to join Red Earth City. However, the situation in Red Earth City has taken a turn for the worse in the past few days. It was already enough

The chaotic situation in the city had completely gotten out of control after two assassinations. Naturally, they lost the idea of ​​joining the Red Earth City and had evil intentions. They just grabbed a sum of money nearby and escaped from the city. As for whether they would be arrested afterwards.

The people in Red Earth City were keeping an eye on them, which was no longer something they, the desperate desperadoes, could consider.

The hotel that was ransacked by these desperadoes and wanted criminals was in a mess. The people who worked here were either dead or escaped. Everything that could be snatched was taken away. There was only one place in the hotel.

The place seemed unusually calm. This was the garden villa where Leo lived, and the corpses surrounding the garden were like warning signs telling newcomers that people here were not to be messed with.

After Red Earth City fell into chaos, Leo knew that his previous plan had failed. He had only two choices, either to find a reliable guide in this chaotic city, or to go directly to Green Jade without a guide.

At worst, you can resolve the conflicts that may arise by yourself. If necessary, it is not difficult to change the owner of the Green Jade Area.

However, before Leo made his decision, a sudden wave of energy came from the besieged area of ​​​​Red Earth City, which made Leo change his mind and decided to stay in Red Earth City for a few days to see what the chaos in Red Earth City was like.

Who is behind the scenes?

The reason why Leo became interested in the unusual chaos in the Red Earth City was entirely because of the powerful energy fluctuation that penetrated the inner city wall. That energy fluctuation caused a resonance reaction in the divine punishment mark on Leo's body, so it was created

The person behind this energy fluctuation is definitely a member of the Justice Church, and a clergyman with a very high status in the Justice Church.

Ever since Divine Justice was wounded by Leo in the sky above the Belmont Family Castle, the strength of the entire Justice Church has been in a state of contraction and defense. Not only the church armed forces dispatched from various temples and temples have been recalled outside the church headquarters to which they belong, but also

Even some secluded ascetics were summoned again to defend several larger major temples to avoid being attacked by the hostile underground evil church.

In fact, what they did was indeed right, because after learning that the God of Justice would fall into a deep sleep for a long time after being injured, some evil churches that had long been hostile to the Justice Church invariably launched attacks on the Justice Temples in some cities.

During the attack, some churches were destroyed, while others were preserved.

Although such an attack will not damage the Justice Church, it will also greatly affect the reputation of the Justice Church to a certain extent, causing the Justice Church's right to speak in the True God Church to gradually weaken. Some True Gods who were previously suppressed by the Justice Church

The church also became ready to stir up trouble.

According to Leo's idea, judging from the current situation of the Church of Justice, it should continue to maintain a shrinking strategy. Only when the justice of the gods is restored and awakened can the Church of Justice be able to regain the glory and rights they deserve.

But the energy fluctuation that is now erupting in Red Earth City makes Leo confused. He wants to know what role the Church of Justice plays in this chaos in Red Earth City. It is necessary to know that energy fluctuations can resonate with the Mark of God's Punishment.

The magic of justice that generates energy fluctuations contains the power of justice. The person who performs this magic is definitely a bishop-level clergyman who has received the blessing of justice. And in this special period, such a clergyman appears in the Red Earth City.

, which made Leo very curious. If necessary, he would not mind destroying the plans of the Justice Church. After all, the relationship between the Justice Church and him was an irreconcilable mortal enemy.

Leo, who had made a decision, did not stay in the hotel. He left the hotel directly, climbed over the inner city wall, silently entered the inner city, and rushed towards the source of the energy fluctuations.

The outer city of Red Earth City is already in chaos, but compared to the chaos in the inner city, the chaos in the outer city is obviously much worse. Gangs of people fighting each other can be seen on the streets of the inner city at any time.

All kinds of shrill screams could be heard in the buildings on both sides, and everyone was forgetting everything and fighting, as if the purpose of their existence was to kill all hostile living creatures.

"Something's wrong!" Leo immediately sensed something was wrong from these crazy people. He followed him and directly knocked down a stranger who tried to attack him, and then checked the person's condition through the mental network.

, and the results returned after the mental network scan surprised him, because he found an implant in this person's head, and it was an implant that was mutating.

With doubts in his heart, Leo arrested different people on the road. He found that some people had implants that were mutating, while others did not, but those who did not have implants were mutating.

It has been greatly affected mentally. It seems that the person with the implant is generating a mental force field, and all ordinary people in the force field will fall into crazy killing like him and be unable to extricate themselves.

Almost at the same time that he discovered the implant, Leo also discovered that in many places in the city, there were people hiding in the dark who were secretly recording everything that happened around them. Some of them even dragged several corpses into the area.

They went to the surrounding buildings to perform an autopsy. The location of the dissection was the head, and what they examined after the dissection was the brain implant.

What's more important is that these people who secretly record the situation in the siege area of ​​​​Red Earth City are without exception some senior clergy and paladins of the Church of Justice, and the people who lead these senior clergy are the source of the energy fluctuations that Leo is looking for.

, this person should be the archbishop of the Church of Justice, but Leo has never seen this archbishop.

Because he has become a sworn enemy of the Justice Church, Leo specially found information about the senior officials of the Justice Church. Among these documents were portraits of all the senior officials of the Justice Church. But now the Archbishop, who could only record everything as a member of the Justice Church's clergy, was

It didn't appear in the portraits he saw.

Leo doesn't think it's because the information he found is incomplete. You must know that the Belmont family provided the information. There may be some errors in the information they collected, but it is absolutely impossible to miss an Archbishop of the Church of Justice.

In his doubts, Leo did not rush forward to find out. Instead, he hid himself like a bystander and secretly observed every move of these Justice Church clergy.

He soon discovered that these clergymen of the Righteous Church would deliberately provoke disputes again when some disputes subsided, causing some people to fall into fighting again, and then continue to record the conditions of these people.

There is no doubt that from this point of view, the Church of Justice must be the creator of the turmoil in Red Earth City, but it is not clear whether this creator is the only one or one of them.

However, Leo personally guesses that the Justice Church is not the only mastermind of this turmoil, because the implant is not a product of the Justice Church. As for the relationship between the Originator organization and the Justice Church, he has not found any useful information yet.

clue.

In any case, the Church of Justice has turned Red Earth City into a testing ground, and judging from various circumstances, this testing ground has been set up for more than one day, because there are so many people who have been implanted with implants, not just one or two days.

If it can be completed, it will take at least several years or even more than ten years.

What puzzles Leo is that the turmoil in Red Earth City seems to have been launched in a hurry, because his mental network scanned that the implants in some people are still in the larval stage and have not fallen into mutation. Obviously, it is definitely not the best time now.

Good time to experiment.

As time passed, Leo found no other new clues from the actions of these clergymen, so he decided to arrest the archbishop of the Church of Justice and interrogate him directly.
Chapter completed!
