A purple moon hangs high in the sky.
Moonlight falls on the cemetery.
In the quiet environment, under the huge tombstone engraved with "The Joint Tomb of Mr. and Mrs. Baiswal", a gentleman in a black hat stood quietly.
He bent down and gently put down a booklet with the words "Sun Boy" written on it. Then he placed a white bishop's crown and a bunch of yellow orchids on the booklet.
"Mr. Biles, the enemies who killed you, Rafa, Howard, and even Terrence... are all here to accompany you now."
Chen Lun took off his black top hat and said softly.
He leaned his back against the tombstone and slowly sat down.
After a while.
Chen Lun let out a breath, feeling that the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time were finally released.

"Terrence and his team went out with the team, why haven't they returned yet?"
In the inner courtyard of the Sun Cathedral area of the royal city, Pope Diphni was questioning the two bishops with a serious expression.
One of them hesitated for a moment, then said tremblingly:
"According to the latest intelligence, Archbishop Gregoris unfortunately died in the Sunset City incident... Although His Majesty Terrence and the other three His Majesties evacuated the scene at the time, they disappeared on their way back to the spirit world... As for the seven teams of lightkeepers that accompanied them, they were all wiped out."
The old man Difni's face was stiff and his heart was in pain.
Archbishop Lieyang has fallen!
Four others disappeared at the same time!
All seven teams of lighthouse guards died!
Every piece of bad news was like a sledgehammer hitting her chest.
If the grief and anger in Difni's heart could be turned into flames, then this flame would probably burn all the people and forces involved in the Sunset City incident to ashes!
call…
The two white-robed bishops suddenly felt the temperature in the hall rise inexplicably. Their breathing became dry. A horrible breath came from the Pope. The air in their sight seemed to be suffering from an invisible burning, twisting and fluctuating.
"Your Holiness... We have compiled the intelligence that the Light Guardian team has obtained in their follow-up investigation into a book. Please have a look at it."
One of the bishops in white robes bowed his head deeply and handed over a report with awe and trembling.
Difni took it expressionlessly and waved his hand.
The two bishops in white robes turned around and left as if they had been pardoned. As soon as they walked out of the door, they realized that they were already soaked.
Tiffany suppressed his emotions and slowly opened the information and read it.
The more he looked, the gloomier his expression became.
She already had a bad feeling in her heart, and now she learned from intelligence that there were five angels involved in the Sunset City incident!
Even the true God showed his traces!
The five Archbishops of the Fiery Sun sent over this time could not make any waves in such a situation, and instead attracted unnecessary attention...
“Grigoris has fallen, and Terrence and his four companions must have met with an accident along the way, so the strange artifact Aries Hammer, which is the guardian of the religion, was lost... Damn it!
”
Tiffany closed his eyes in grief and anger.
The hands behind his back were clenched into fists, veins showing through.
This is the most severe loss the Church of the Sun has ever suffered in hundreds and thousands of years. Such a result may even cause turmoil in the empire!
Because they are the strong backing of the Sun Royal Family!
Now there are cracks in the backing...

Almost at the same time.
Intelligence booklets similar to the one in Diffney's hand appeared in the cases of the top leaders of the Church of the Seven Gods and even major supernatural forces.
Without exception, everyone was shocked by the tragic events in Sunset City. Dolomypurnes, the former Pope of the Red Apple Church, was quietly reborn and used this city in the Empire's new state for sacrifice to restore his own strength.
However…
The four major forces of the Natural Sect, the Sun Church, the Red Apple Church and the Wandering Knights are fighting each other. The Three Ladies of Pain and the King of Slaughter appear one after another, and even the true god Lady Rose shows her traces!
Even a simple written record can make people feel the bloody scene and the horrific chaos.
Among them, there are three things that strongly concern the senior leaders.
First, the current pope of the Red Apple Church, Louisa, and the remaining four archbishops of the Ten Cores were all destroyed, and the "Rose Gardener" Dolomypurnes fell completely, and his only divinity was taken away by the King of Slaughter Conrad...
This means that the Red Apple Church is already dead in name only, and the losses of the Wandering Knights are also extremely tragic, and the strength of the Beelzebub Kingdom has been greatly damaged. If the Empire is interested, it is likely to take advantage of the Sunset City incident as an excuse to start a war and completely annex it, rather than conquering it with a piece of paper!
Second, Conrad, the King of Slaughter, is suspected to have mastered five portions of the unique divinity and is only one step away from becoming a god!
As one of the Seven Gods Churches and a conspiracy angel believed in by the Council of Conscience, if she succeeds in ascending to Sequence Zero, then there is no doubt that she will completely change the existing situation...
The atmosphere of impending storm is quietly spreading.
3. Shortly after the chaos ended, a mysterious person in black robe appeared beside the King of Slaughter. She was not only closely related to Conrad, but also good friends with the Three Ladies of Pain.
There are many smart people in the top leadership of various major forces. They have deduced from clues that the chaos in Sunset City is probably related to this person!
But who she is, no one knows.
The identity remains a mystery...
*
*
*
The influence you have created in Sunset City has gradually spread throughout the Trisur Empire and even other countries. All the major forces in the mysterious realm have heard of your name...
You, who are called "Shadow of Murder" by the mysterious realm, have gained a deep anchor in the Sun Continent...
You have gained 150 points of regional fame!
A total of 513 regional fame points (17 epic fame points) have been accumulated!
Your sanity limit increases by 80 points, and your recovery speed increases moderately!
Chen Lun, who was sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper, suddenly received a prompt box popping up on the panel.
He was stunned at first, then just glanced at it casually and paid no more attention.
"Shadow of Murder? Because of its relationship with Conrad, it was given this name... "
Chen Lun smiled and shook his head.
The one who appeared in Sunset City at that time was the incarnation Qiao Ke. Although he later restored his true form and reunited with his sister Chen Mo, His Majesty Conrad had already taken action to isolate himself from the outside world by then, so no one knew his true identity except the four angels present.
"I'm afraid the situation will only get more chaotic..."
As the real culprit who instigated all this chaos, no one knows better than Chen Lun the subsequent impact it will bring.
"I just don't know what decision the Empire will make. Will they take advantage of the opportunity to attack the Beelzebub Kingdom... If the war breaks out, then this will completely disrupt the original direction of the world line."
His eyes were thoughtful.
He was thinking about whether he could benefit from it if his guess came true.
After a while.
Chen Lun turned his gaze back to the newspaper.
Today's headline news is the Sunset City tragedy.
In addition, there are major events that occurred in various places throughout the Trisur Empire—
Recently, vicious serial murders have occurred in more than one region.
The dead included common people as well as wealthy businessmen, but they all had one thing in common: their bodies were burned maliciously.
The authorities have sent a large number of investigators and even executioner teams to investigate, but there has been no result so far. However, the members of the Seven States Parliament have held two large press conferences in succession, stating that these were all committed by undead strangers, and the relevant personnel and the murderer have been arrested and detained.
"Heh..."
Chen Lun sneered.
He knew very well that the players had once again become the official scapegoat, because this kind of thing had happened many times in his previous life.
Whenever there is a mysterious and harmful incident that is inconvenient for the public to know, the official's consistent style is to put the blame on the players...
Although not all players will mess around, there are always some who like to stir up trouble. Because of some bad things they do, the entire group of undead strangers are labeled as "chaotic", "unstable factors" and "criminals".
A typical case of one bad apple spoiling the whole barrel.
No wonder official forces like to use them as scapegoats.
But Chen Lun knew that these current events were not actually very relevant to the players... because he had a "real intelligence" from the Kangkai Council, which was completely different from the description in the newspaper.
Those who were killed were actually divided into two groups.
A group of them were attacked by unknown creatures, and their bodies were often not found, leaving only a small part of the wreckage. The intelligence of the Kangkai Council was very detailed, and it was highly likely that this unknown creature was actually the "Didak Bug Man"!
This kind of insect-people massacre of civilians is not an isolated case. It has occurred in hundreds of cities in the seven states, especially in the main urban areas, where the situation is most serious!
Almost all major cities were not spared.
The authorities deliberately concealed the truth in order to calm the public's panic.
"Has the pollution tide of the spirit world finally spread to the human world?"
Chen Lun thought.
But when he thought about the fact that the Dark Father was most likely the incarnation of the Fierce Father, he felt that things were not that simple.
As for the other group of people who were killed, most of them died by burning.
In one case, food factories in Gembang caught fire one after another, and several entrepreneurs were found burned to death in their homes.
After that, the shelter sent out a team of executioners to investigate and suppress the murderer, but the murderer they caught turned out to be a low-level worker of the company. This guy was just an ordinary person a few weeks ago, but he inexplicably became a supernatural person overnight.
Because of the sudden power, he was unable to control the hatred he had suppressed for so long and finally took revenge.
There are countless similar incidents.
But they also have one thing in common, that is, the extraordinary people who commit crimes are ordinary people who suddenly gain power, and quite consistently, they all belong to the Sun Path.
The officials disguised the civilians killed by the insect people as fire accidents and uniformly classified them as the crimes of the undead foreigners...
That's the truth of the whole thing.
Chen Lun's eyes were deep as he pondered the essence behind these things.
'For some unknown reason, the number of extraordinary people in the empire has increased dramatically... Although this is in line with the law of increasing extraordinary entropy, why are they all extraordinary people from the Sun Path?'
For some reason, he thought of Prince Dazlet.
I thought of the prince's crazy "Seed of Light" plan...
