Chapter 202 Fishing Failed!

The crowd started to move away from the building.

Ted took out a card and said in a low voice: "If you find an infiltrator, request the sequence to start the first elimination procedure immediately."

A metal pipe appeared from the void, making an indifferent voice:
"Are you sure you want to exclude? If your judgment is wrong, you will bear the punishment of the sequence."

"Sure!" Ted gritted his teeth.

The metallic voice sounded again:

"Entering the program..."

In the sky, there were suddenly noisy and continuous sounds.

Liu Ping looked up.

I saw dense cards flying from all directions, and they all landed on the top of the special inspection department building.

These cards are constantly changing, combining, dispersing, and recombining new cards, and then fall down and stick them on the outer wall of the special laboratory building.

Over time, the entire building was gradually filled with cards.

A cold voice sounded in the void:

"Execution!"

All cards emit a blazing light.

The building shook.

An angry roar erupted from the depths of the ground: "No—"

In an instant, the whole building turned into bright white light soaring into the sky, like a giant white pillar emerging from the sky and the earth.

Take a breath.

Two breaths.

Three breaths.

The giant white pillar slowly disappeared.

On the ground, a huge bottomless pit appeared, and the special laboratory building had disappeared.

The metallic sound of the sequence sounded again:

"Discover special mutants."

"It has been killed."

"This exclusion process was initiated by Naturalist Ted."

"Ted's meritorious service increased by 1000 points."

"Reward a special authority card, please accept."

A metal pipe emerged from the void, gently placing a card in front of Ted.

Ted took the card.

At this time, a naturalist suddenly said: "Everyone, I found that person."

He held up a card and showed it to everyone.

I saw that the card turned into a photo of a person, but it was a middle-aged man with a haggard face.

The face of this person is very similar to the giant with vertical pupils.

"This is a miner from the northern border who disappeared near the border last month," said the naturalist.

"It seems that he was captured by monsters beyond the border..."

"What a headache, this matter must be notified to the military immediately—look, the general has arrived."

Several soldiers suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

To everyone's surprise, two rows of palace guards also appeared in the sky.

A guard flew forward and said loudly:
"Everyone enters the palace, His Majesty must personally inquire about the origin and root cause of this incident."

Ted's expression sank.

……

10 minute later.

Royal Palace.

Ted led a group of naturalists and reported the previous situation.

The generals said nothing.

The emperor was silent for a moment, and spoke first: "The whole body is full of vertical pupils, and the figure is huge. It was originally a human being, is that so?"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Ted responded cautiously.

The emperor sighed, and said, "You may not know, because only the royal family's top-secret files record the origin of that monster—"

He stood up and walked up and down for a while, as if making a very difficult decision.

Everyone dared not make a sound, for fear of interrupting the emperor's thoughts.

after awhile.

The emperor stopped suddenly and said:

"The Natural History Society... can be reopened, but you have to remember one thing, don't fight against the sect, you have to cooperate with each other to deal with the pretender from the north of the empire, understand?"

All the naturalists were overjoyed and said in unison: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

The emperor nodded and said: "You are a group of people who help Sequence evolve. I had other considerations before temporarily suspending your connection with Sequence."

"Is there any place where we can share our worries for His Majesty?" Ted asked.

The emperor smiled coldly and said, "Just do your duty well, and you don't need to worry about other things."

"Yes." Ted said hurriedly.

"Okay, after an hour, the Natural History Society will resume its original status - you can step back."

Everyone saluted and exited the hall.

They had just walked out of the gate of the palace when they saw a group of people in black priest robes approaching from a distance.

Liu Ping's expression changed, and he said to Ted: "Teacher, I'm going back first, and I'll see you later."

"Well, you go, come to my house tonight, we want to celebrate what happened today." Ted said.

"Okay." Liu Ping nodded.

He said good-bye to the naturalists, and went another way.

The naturalists did not dare to stand at the gate of the palace for a long time, and left soon.

At this moment.

Liu Ping turned back from the corner of the street and walked towards the priests in black robes.

He brushed shoulders with the group.

Then—suddenly turning—

He followed behind the group of black-robed priests and walked all the way towards the palace.

On the way, someone looked back at him in surprise.

He just bowed his head like everyone else, silently chanting "The Greatest Holy Spirit".

A line of small burning characters slowly emerged:

"You have activated the performance department ability: Fisher."

"You joined the current congregation and became one of them."

next moment.

The man looked stunned and continued to walk forward.

These people entered the palace unimpeded all the way, bypassed the main hall, entered the depths of the palace, and came to a garden.

The emperor has long been waiting here.

Opposite him stood a black pillar.

A dying man is tied to a post with his head bowed, seemingly unconscious.

Liu Ping glanced at it.

——It was one of the two members of the Supervisory Committee in the bar in Coldhammer Town.

He seemed to have suffered a lot, with wounds everywhere on his body.

As soon as the congregation stood still, the emperor turned around and asked with a chill:
"What's going on in Cold Hammer Town? The person in charge came out to speak."

One person came out more and more, and said tremblingly: "None of the personnel sent to negotiate with that person came back, so I don't know what happened. We are sending people to continue to investigate."

The emperor was silent for a few breaths, and said in a low voice: "No...it doesn't have the ability to kill my people directly...someone must be making trouble."

He waved casually.

The priest who explained the situation let out a scream, and all the flesh and blood disappeared, leaving only a pile of bones.

The emperor pointed to a place on the ground expressionlessly.

Several congregants immediately stepped forward and lifted a long cloth similar to human skin from the ground.

A flickering rune array of rays of light suddenly appeared.

"Spirit Killer, I know you are here, call me immediately." The emperor said.

Waited for a few breaths.

A voice came from the rune array: "Didn't you just trade yesterday? Why are you looking for me again?"

The emperor said: "You ate my fifteen disciples?"

The voice paused, and lazily said: "This is a secret deal your subordinates made with me, I thought you already knew about it."

"Secret transaction?" the emperor wondered.

"Flawless Dragon Back—don't you have a dragon subordinate? In order to save this subordinate, you are willing to sacrifice fifteen souls." The voice said.

This time the emperor fell into silence.

But he quickly said: "Let's not talk about this matter for the time being - what's going on with you secretly catching my people in the north of the empire?"

The voice said: "It's just a few miners. They crossed the border—I remember we made an appointment. I will take care of things outside the border."

"But those souls are my property." The emperor said calmly.

There was a fierce breath rising from him.

The voice immediately apologized and said with a smile: "Haha, who told them to cross the line? Well, I won't eat it next time, that's fine."

The emperor said coldly: "I will get this empire completely soon, I hope you are more sensible, otherwise I will be the first to deal with you when the time comes."

This time, that voice did not sound again.

The emperor looked at the congregation, and ordered: "Everyone go and check to see who in the empire has a dragon summoning contract, or a heroic spirit contract."

"Yes!" The congregation responded.

Suddenly, an inexplicable fluctuation came from the depths of the sky.

This wave of fluctuating power is getting stronger and stronger, almost turning into a gust of wind, constantly blowing towards the palace.

The emperor showed annoyed expression for the first time, and said in a low voice:
"The Supervisory Committee..."

He jumped up, flew into the sky, and disappeared in an instant.

The believers looked at each other.

Continuous laughter suddenly sounded in the rune array:

"Being watched by the supervisory committee is enough to annoy you for a while..."

The light dimmed.

The magic circle returned to dead silence.

The believers looked at each other.

The leader suddenly shouted: "What are you still doing? Go and investigate!"

All the believers just woke up from a dream. They pulled out a card and said in a low voice: "Teleport."

Swish swish!

The light from the card enveloped everyone, soared into the sky, and left the garden.

——Liu Ping was the only one left.

A line of burning small characters suddenly appeared:

"You lost all your companions."

"In view of the fact that there is no object for the 'fisher' effect to occur, this 'fisher' effect has been suspended."

next moment.

The light of the rune magic circle suddenly lit up.

The voice came out again: "Huh? Is it you?"

at the same time.

The man tied to the black pillar raised his head with difficulty, stared at Liu Ping and said:
"It's you!"
