The confrontation between the Black Knife Brotherhood and the Circus was seen by Coleridge and Tobyne.
But they did not speak out to mediate, and it seemed that they had no intention of intervening.
Chen Lun glanced at Roxanne, the tall woman, who was looking at him with cold eyes, as if she was looking at a whole piece of pork.
He was well aware that the other party's hostility came from the struggle between two factions within the mutual aid association - the Black Knife Brotherhood and the Murder Club had the same origin, but the two sides had long been in a relationship of mutual hostility and competition.
"The Evening Tea Party should have already started contacting the Black Knife Brotherhood. The reason why this woman knows my other identity is probably because the group of extraordinary people from the Fate Faction gave them information about me behind the scenes..."
Chen Lun thought.
It seems that Roxanne does not hate "Jackspeight", but "Joke", the gold cup member of the murder club, because Chen Lun's other identity is their enemy... an enemy competing for the vacant seat in the Orthodox Church!
"Since Mr. Jack and Ms. Roxanne are unwilling to act together, how about we split up into two groups?"
Coleridge said slowly.
"We, the shelter, will go straight to the Red Apple Church with Ms. Roxanne, and Mr. Jack, you will go with Bishop Tobyin of the Moon Church and be responsible for the coordination. If you find any trace of the Red Rose Team, you must contain them as soon as possible."
"Okay, I agree to this proposal."
Chen Lun nodded slightly.
The old man in the black robe and the woman in the wide-brimmed hat had no objection and agreed to this plan.
At this time, Bishop Tobin took out an old wooden hourglass, held it in one hand, and made a prayer gesture of the Moon Church with the other hand.
The pale purple moonlight bloomed from the hourglass, and the old man stretched out his hand and grabbed it out of thin air, and a handful of fine sand appeared in his palm. He then stretched out his hand and spread it, and the fine sand slowly floated up.
"Each person takes a grain of sand and carries it with them, which will protect them from the effects of the 'Nightfall Realm'."
Bishop Tobyne said so.
Everyone nodded and each took a grain of sand from his hand.
Chen Lun pinched the fine sand between his fingers and received a prompt from the panel. The hourglass in the black-robed old man's hand was the Moon Church's A-level monster - Silent Night Quicksand. The night sky in the fence beside him was created by it.
The skin on his fingertips suddenly cracked into a tiny crack, swallowing the sand, and then healed, making it look as if the sand had disappeared out of thin air.
After a moment.
When everyone was ready, Bishop Toby held up the hourglass and led the way across the fence.
Those extremely sturdy and tall railings actually twisted and opened up on their own under the dim purple light of the hourglass, leaving a "door" for everyone to pass through.
Chen Lun asked Maggie, Connie and Alex to stay in the carriage, and arranged eight black crystal puppets to guard them. Then, he led the rest of his companions and followed Coleridge and others into the fence.
At this time.
His spiritual intuition gave him a premonition, and a faint warning began to light up in his heart. Chen Lun reflexively looked at Roxanne and her group of black knife killers. Sure enough, the woman was looking back at him, and her smiling eyes were mixed with inexplicable meaning.
After Roxanne withdrew her gaze as if nothing had happened, Chen Lun performed "Mind Sharing" with an expressionless face.
In the hearts of Floin, Noah, Antonio and Golov, Mr. Jack's solemn voice suddenly rang out. He said:
"If there is any unusual movement from the Black Knife Brotherhood later, just kill them."
Everyone in the circus was stunned.
After seeing Chen Lun's eye signal, he immediately realized that this was the extraordinary ability of the team leader.
They nodded imperceptibly to show that they received it.

After entering the fence, the light around us suddenly dimmed.
Although it's not pitch dark, it's like a night when the stars and the moon are blocked, and the environment is dim and silent.
This was originally the center of Songsha City, the most prosperous and bustling area, but now it has become a dead place. Not only is it filled with a large number of fallen believers, but there are also extraordinary monks from the Red Apple Church who are hunting, kidnapping and sacrificing living people.
The group didn't walk far before they split into two teams and went their separate ways.
Chen Lun led his team and the six people from the Moon Church forward along the street. Except for Bishop Tobin, the other five black-robed monks were all middle-sequence transcendents. From their attitudes, it can be seen that the Moon Church is one of the few Orthodox Churches that is willing to fight against the Red Disaster, which makes Chen Lun sigh inwardly.
'This was the case in the previous life. When faced with the 1.0 version of the Empire Red Disaster, only the Sun and the Moon contributed the most... The History and Ritual Association and the Hailing Group did nothing during the entire process, while the Stars and the Madman School remained neutral, only occasionally offering help at certain times.'
When they were near the church area, the black-robed old man Toby suddenly spoke:
"Mr. Jack, I sense the aura of the Moon God from you... In addition to you, the blind lady also has the aura of my God."
He opened his half-closed eyelids and looked at Chen Lun.
"You must be a friend of our religion to have the blessing and favor of the Moon Goddess. I hope you will be careful of the people in the Black Knife Brotherhood... I sensed ill intentions from them."
"Thank you for the reminder, Bishop Tobyne. I will pay attention to it."
Chen Lun smiled in response.
After Tobyin finished speaking, he returned to his half-asleep state, lowered his head slightly, and slowly led the way.
The same was true of the five black-robed monks following behind him. They never spoke a word from beginning to end, but just walked in silence.
Before long, everyone arrived at the church area.
Suddenly there was a loud noise coming from the front, and even the ground began to shake.
"It seems that Coleridge and his men have already encountered a battle in advance. Let's hurry over there."
Bishop Tobyne said.
The crowd quickened their pace, passing several tall Gothic buildings and arriving at a spacious open space. It was the size of two football fields and seemed to have been renovated and rebuilt... There were still many unfilled holes on the ground, and huge stone slabs were stacked at the edge of the open space, waiting to be paved.
In the central area, there stands a huge stone statue about eight or nine meters high. It is a faceless woman wearing a luxurious robe. She stands quietly in the same place, holding a rose in her raised right hand.
This is the true God worshipped by the Red Apple Church, Lady Rose.
At the feet of her statue, there were three circles of upright stone slabs covered with withered flower patterns, but now they were soaked in blood. Hundreds of corpses were piled in the gaps between the stone slabs, which was horrifying.
In the dim light, the statue of Lady Rose radiated an enchanting red light.
"This is a sacrificial square... damn Red Apple Church!"
Toby was uncontrollably angry when he saw this scene.
Everyone looked up.
I saw two groups of people fighting fiercely in the distance, and there was a loud rumbling sound.
An extraordinary monk in a red robe, a priest who transformed into a giant ghoul, and an old bishop with hideous bat wings on his back fought against the asylum investigators led by Coleridge and black knife killers such as Roxanne.
Even with the rise and fall of the "Night Domain", Coleridge and others are still at a disadvantage!
Just as Bishop Tobyin was about to step forward to help, the battle over there took a drastic turn.
The red-robed bishop flying in the air and the five priest zombies on the ground suddenly exploded and turned into hundreds of dense swarms of bats, squeaking.
The bats gathered together and transformed into a huge, strange pattern of three overlapping triangles in midair. They seemed to have initiated some kind of ritual, and the red light on the statue of Lady Rose became more and more dazzling.
The stone rose in her hand was stained with a scarlet sheen, becoming like a real flower. Even the sticky and dark blood of sin began to flow out from the core of the flower, one drop after another, constantly evaporating and rising, blooming with dazzling and strange colors.
Crash…!
A scarlet blood rain suddenly descended, containing terrible pollution and corrosive power, splashing over Coleridge and others.
The short Coleridge's face changed slightly, and he suddenly waved his hand, sprinkling out starlight containing purple, green and light blue - it was a mixed drop of several extraordinary perfumes.
Hiss, hiss, hiss!
Four or five mushrooms the size of houses rose from the ground, using their bright and thick umbrella-like caps to shield Coleridge, Roxanne and others from the bloody rain.
A dull crackling sound came from above their heads. The blood rain hit the fungus, as heavy as bullets. The shattered blood mist spread in all directions, slowly falling and spreading. The investigators and black knife killers who accidentally inhaled the blood mist suddenly felt numb and painful all over their bodies, and their rationality was quickly fading.
"Hold your breath, this blood rain contains strong pollution!"
Coleridge roared.
He once again sprayed the light blue perfume, refreshing the air around him and purifying the blood mist to a certain extent.
At the same time, the huge bacteria that received the "perfume nutrients" suddenly shrank and expanded, spewing out countless granular light blue spores. After absorbing the blood rain from the sky, it offset the dissipation on its own.
But the creepy squeaking and the constant noise of the umbrella cover corroding kept challenging the nerves of Coleridge and others, and they felt tremendous pressure.
The power of the Red Apple Church far exceeded their expectations.
But just at this moment.
The group of bats that formed a triangular pattern in mid-air suddenly moved away to one side.
Coleridge, Roxanne and the others all raised their heads and looked in the direction they were flying away... The investigators' expressions suddenly changed drastically.
"Lord Coleridge, they are flying towards Bishop Tobyne and Mr. Jack!"
The subordinate beside the short man shouted.
"So this is what these damn red lunatics were planning! They deliberately trapped us with the blood rain, but in fact they wanted to intercept and annihilate the other reinforcements! I was too reckless and shouldn't have entered this area in advance... They knew we were coming and deliberately set a trap."
Coleridge's face was gloomy. He immediately sat down cross-legged, with a pile of extraordinary materials and mixing vessels in his hands. He instructed his men:
"You and Ms. Roxanne remain alert. I need three minutes to mix the perfume temporarily before..."
At this time.
A team of eight or nine red-robed monks appeared from the other side of the open space, behind the Moon Church and the Circus. The Red Apple Church surrounded them from the front and back, blocking the direction of movement of Chen Lun and others.
"That's the 'Red Rose Squad'... Bishop Toby and Mr. Jack are in danger!"
Coleridge child hole shrinkage.
He was about to turn around and talk to Roxanne, but he found that all the members of the Black Knife Brotherhood had disappeared.
Only her words remained in the air:
"We follow the shadow, not afraid of the blood rain, and go to support first."
*

Chen Lun looked around.
The swarm of bats flying in front gathered together and transformed into a red-robed bishop and five priests. Behind them, the captain of the Red Rose Squad led seven elite monks to block their way and surrounded them.
They all had cruel smiles on their faces, as if they were sure of victory.
On the side, long shadows were running towards them, close to the ground. They were the Black Knife Assassins led by Roxanne. But they did not seem to be support, because even Bishop Tobin could feel the strong malice in the shadows, rushing towards them.
When the shadow stopped a hundred meters away, they stood up from the ground and regained their human form.
Roxanne, who was in the lead, was covered in dark shadows, as if she was wearing a layer of black mud armor. Only her face was exposed, and she had a sneer on her face. Her eyes showed both gloating and undisguised murderous intent.
She lip-synced and seemed to be saying:
"You're dead, Joke."
Chen Lun first calmly glanced at the Red Apple Cult members, then glanced at the Black Knife Brotherhood and others in the distance, and finally shook his head and said calmly:
"With just these few people, it's not enough."
He decided to take the initiative and simply raised his hand and waved.
A card storm suddenly blew up around him, and hundreds of playing cards were spinning at high speed, surrounding him like a tornado.
Chen Lun pulled down his black hat, grasped the silver cane like a baton, and gently spun it around.
The card storm suddenly split into two torrents, rushing towards the enemies in front and behind!
"Jack! You damned heretic! Stop struggling! Just..."
The red-robed bishop sneered.
But his expression changed drastically in the next second.
He saw that in the storm of cards, there were ten black and translucent flying cards, each of which contained a terrifying energy... It shocked him and he felt a strong sense of danger.
