The Death List Novel - Chapter 185

Chapter 185 Discussion

“It’s that purple tower shield!” Hill couldn’t help but laugh. “There are no traps on the purple tower shield after the lockdown skill came into effect. However, the characteristics of this purple tower shield and the green parrot staff are too obvious. We can’t sell them at the auction house, so we can only sell them to the Sass couple cheaply!”

“Those two Esmira pigs thought we were using these two pieces of equipment to rope them in and help them cross the next mission world!” Hansen sneered and said, “I can’t believe we didn’t realize that since we have the strength to obtain this level of equipment, why would we sacrifice our interests to rope them in?”

“Haha, we stipulated in the contract that we should enter the mission world and complete this transaction, so they can only follow us!” Hill sighed regretfully, “In order not to attract bidders, they will definitely keep this transaction a secret and help us eliminate the hidden dangers!”

“I still have one more question. Since the other party has locked onto your Apostle Soul Seal, why don’t you attack us when the starry sky is shattered?” Qin Lun asked doubtfully.

“Haha, it’s not that they don’t do it, it’s that they can’t do it!” Hill shook his head and explained, “We have checked the information about this locking skill. All of these skills that directly lock onto the Apostle Soul Seal will be suppressed by the Shattered Star System before they exceed [S] class. Only under special conditions can they obtain the exact location of their opponent!”

“Could it be … that it was during the teleportation of time and space?” Qin Lun’s heart skipped a beat.

‘”Yes, during teleportation, the Laws of Fragmentation will be loosened for a short period of time. The apostles who use the locking ability will obtain the teleportation coordinates of the enemy. After paying a certain price, they will be able to enter the mission world of the enemy apostles by relying on the teleportation coordinates.” Hill explained seriously.

“If they lock onto your Apostle Soul Seal, even if you give the purple shield to Sas, it won’t be of much use!” Qin Lun asked cautiously.

‘”No, it works. The teleportation will destroy most of the locking effects. They can only get a rough location and can’t be specific to anyone else. Moreover, once we return successfully and undergo another teleportation, the locking will be completely unlocked!” Hansen added indifferently.

“If that’s the case, in order to conceal yourselves, you probably didn’t intentionally search for information about your opponent, right?” Qin Lun rubbed his eyelids and asked calmly.

‘”En, we” Hill was just about to reply when his eyes suddenly flashed, “Qin Lun, did you find something? We’re on the same boat now, and even if the other party mistook the Sass couple for the murderers, they would definitely not let the rest of the team go. If you have anything to say, just say it!”

“You two idiots, if you weren’t focused on harming people, you would have noticed it long ago!” Qin Lun sneered bluntly, “Think carefully about the prompt given by the Broken Star System. The Nars World is the Middle Demon World!”

“Our guild only has three junior apostles and two reserve profession apostles. This strength, coupled with the enemy’s guild, allows the Broken Star System to estimate the average strength of the apostles as the Middle Demon World. Who do you think the opponent is?”

The black off-road vehicle quieted down. Hill and Hansen’s expressions changed. They didn’t know what to say for a moment, and the atmosphere became somewhat heavy. People were sometimes poor, no matter how high their IQ was, no matter how arrogant they were, they would still be crushed into powder in front of the absolute difference in strength!

‘”No wonder I always feel strange. In the past, even our first trial world didn’t weaken the pain and increase the strength of our Laws Body. And this time …” Hansen said with an ugly expression. “Then our opponent will be at least a medium-sized team, and there might even be a high-tier apostle of the second or third level!”

“This is only one possibility. Of course, there is another possibility. Not all of the high-level apostles are among our mortal enemies!” Hill’s eyes suddenly flashed with brilliance. “Our world scene changed once. Originally, it was a slaughter mode, which meant that there would be two different factions in the Nars world. After the change, the mode would be a team competition mode, which meant that there would be a competition team in one faction or all factions …”

“Apostle guilds from different factions, competing guilds from the same faction … In other words, there will be at least three guilds in this mission world, or even more!” Qin Lun narrowed his eyes.

“This is truly exciting!” Hansen licked his lips and tightened his grip on the steering wheel. Blood flashed in his eyes.

As the three discussed, silver cars and black off-road vehicles entered the city from the outskirts of the city, and the number of vehicles and pedestrians on the road began to increase.

“What a beautiful world!” Hill looked out the window at the dazzling streets of shops and pedestrians with all kinds of appearances and sighed sincerely.

“Hill, don’t you think the towering three-dimensional cities of the Earth Federation and the floating driveways are even more spectacular?” Qin Lun asked curiously.

“Earth Federation? Hmph!” Hill sneered, “Qin Lun, have you ever tried not seeing a trace of sunshine for a long time?”

“Of course, before the compromise in Handan Prison, I was held in solitary confinement in a dark cell for nearly a year!” Qin Lun raised his eyebrows and replied indifferently.

“Then, without a trace of sunshine for the rest of his life, he will always live like a mouse in a messy garbage dump?” Hansen’s eyes lit up as he asked with a sinister smile, “The skyscrapers in the three-dimensional city are hundreds of stories tall, and the one hundred stories below are slums. There will never be a trace of sunshine. There are neon-lit dim garbage piles everywhere, and they precipitate the filthiest and dirtiest waste gases in the city!”

“The average life expectancy of federal citizens is as high as 200, while the average life expectancy of slum dwellers is less than 40! Do you know why federal special forces can’t catch people like Hansen, because even the most advanced laser cameras can’t capture objects a hundred meters away from the bottom 100 floors of a three-dimensional city!” Hill said indifferently.

“The Federal Special Police only registered 46 murders in my database, but the actual number is more than 200.” Hansen said calmly, “Kieran, do you know why? Because slum targets, I’ve always been free. For federal special forces, they can’t find suspects in slums if they only have corpses and no transfer records.”

Hansen glanced indifferently at Shepherd Hill in the back seat. “Everyone knows that Shepherd is an old pervert who eats human flesh, but no one remembers that Hill is the only Catholic priest who has a church on the 100th floor of a three-dimensional city!”

“Hansen, you’re talking too much!” Hill’s eyes were absent-minded for a moment, and he explained to himself, “I opened the church on the next hundred floors just to avoid God’s sight and make it easier to steal.”

“Haha, not bad, not bad, occasionally enjoy those rich lambs that come to the slums, don’t you think it’s especially delicious?” Hansen winked at Hill and teased him maliciously.

The three people in the car gradually lost their interest in chatting. They only silently turned their heads to look at the peaceful and noisy street scenery outside the window.

At this moment, the silver car leading the way suddenly turned and drove into an underground parking lot.

“Sir Sass, aren’t you going straight to the police station?” Hill came out of the jeep and asked with a smile.

“No, the owner of that villa doesn’t know when he will be back. We can’t take the stolen car to the police station!” Sass frowned and said impatiently, “Let’s find a place to stay first, and then do some preparatory work.”

Cora glanced at her husband and explained, “The identity registration given to us by the Broken Star System is in the state of Marseille. Although there may not be any flaws, it would be better to contact the state of Marseille before heading to the Louis police station. Otherwise, if we don’t get the information about the Crystal Lake, we might end up stuck in the police station.”

Qin Lun and the others exchanged glances. It was right for the Sass couple to lead the operation. No matter how high their IQ was, they were unable to understand the police’s habits.

After settling down in a hotel in Crystal Lake City, Cora took Qin Lun and Hill to the police station. Not all of the identities the Broken Star Sky had arranged for the five of them were Marseille detectives. Only Cora and Kieran were detectives, and Hill was a consultant.

As for the tall Sass and Hansen, they were actually arranged to be friends and relatives of the John family. They could only go to the police station to check some news reports in the Crystal Lake area online when the other three people went to the police station.

Crystal Lake City was the capital city of Louis, but it was not a big city. Its area was only slightly larger than the town. In fact, Louis does not have any big cities in the state, belonging to tourist attractions. Crystal Lake is a large freshwater lake and the core of the scenic area, occupying 45% of Louis. The entire lake area is surrounded by forests and swamps.

The Jones’ missing location, the Crystal Lake campsite, is only a small part of the scenic area and is off-limits. Many bizarre killings took place here in the early years and were shut down by the state of Louis, where warning signs and barbed wire were erected.

However, over time, there will always be some young people who don’t believe in evil who come here to explore. Some of them will be safe and sound, while others will die miserably or strangely like Mr. and Mrs. John.

“Excuse me, is Sheriff Malloff here? This is Agent Castro of Marseille. This is my companion Agent Rowling and Advisor Hans.” Qin Lun walked to the front desk of the Crystal Lake City Police Department and took out his ID card.

“Oh, Agent Castro!” The old policeman at the front desk took a glance at the ID card and said carefully, “Chief Malloff has just left the police station. I’m afraid he won’t be able to return for the time being. If you don’t mind, you can go back to your residence and wait. Once he returns, we’ll notify you immediately!”

“No, tell him. We’ll go directly to the place where the sheriff left the police station and ask him to send someone to take us there!” Cora quickly instructed Kieran on the guild channel.

“No, sir, I think we must see the sheriff immediately!” Qin Lun smiled as he stared at the old policeman.

“Alright then!” The old policeman’s eyes flashed with a trace of gloom. Finally, he turned around and shouted, “Michelle, come over here and bring these Marseille state police officers to Chief Marloff!”
