Twilight Speaker

Chapter 13: Invitation from the Old Council

The Eighth Ring Police Headquarters is located in District 12 of the Eighth Ring, which is the top of the entire Eighth Ring.

At this moment, the entire police station was in chaos. Police officers brought in members of the Crocodile Sect or the Fire Sect one by one.

Shouting and scolding mixed together.

"Sister, I still haven't answered the phone. I have to go back!"

In the detention room, Chen Xin's brows were tightly knitted together:
"The last time I spoke to you on the phone was two days ago! I shot Wu Jinlu's only son five more times."

"No need to rush."

Chen Shaoyan leaned back in the chair. She was only 1.5 meters tall and looked like a girl of 16 or 17 years old. She didn't look like she was 25 at all.

But at this moment, Chen Shaoyan's face looked extremely calm.

She whispered:

"I have already entered the Colossus Academy. Unless the Crocodile Sect is crazy, they will not touch me."

"What if my little brother is in danger?"

"Do not worry."

"Sister!" Chen Xin was a little anxious: "Who can guarantee this?"

"I." A strong voice suddenly sounded.

Chen Xin suddenly looked sideways and saw a middle-aged muscular man walking in. He had a mask on half of his face and looked very murderous!
"You are..." Chen Xin's face changed.

"Master." Chen Shaoyan chewed bubble gum and did not stand up.

The person who came was Huomen holding a staff, Li Dongyun.

"You are Chen Xin, right? Shao Yan mentioned you to me." Li Dongyun patted Chen Xin's shoulder and said lightly:

"Senior police officer. I'm sorry to have wronged you. For a young talent like you, Xiaoxin, I think it's not too much to jump three levels. Chief, what do you think?"

The fat and big-eared director general followed in, his bloated body almost stuck in the door frame.

"Well, level three is too little, let's go to level five."

The Director General smiled and said:
"Senior police officers jump five levels. I counted detective, sergeant, senior sergeant, inspector. Um, senior inspector."

As he spoke, the Director General tore off the police badge hanging on Chen Xin's chest and replaced it with a gold and blue eagle medal.

In the Great City, when you reach the level of inspector, you no longer have a police number.

Chen Xin was completely confused at this time. He knew that the inspector was his boss's boss - that gossip was an inspector!
And now, I am one of them too? ?

He was at a loss, but soon reacted and stammered:
"Director General, Mr. Li."

"Don't be nervous, young man." Li Dongyun smiled: "Assistant Chen is Xiao Shaoyan's younger brother, so he is also my younger brother. I have arranged for the two martial arts chiefs of Huomen to protect him, so don't worry."

As the name suggests, Wu Chief usually refers to the most capable fighters in an underground gang, usually second only to those with sticks.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Li!" Chen Xin swallowed.

Li Dongyun did not stay for long and left the detention room with the Director General.

Before leaving, the Director General seemed to remember something and turned back to Chen Xin and said:

"Oh, by the way, the new regulations just issued by the higher-ups say that we should launch activities to care for the disabled. The inspectors and senior inspectors in our police station are all required to take care of the disabled."

After a pause, the Director General patted his stomach:
"I have assigned it to you in advance. It's an eleven-year-old child with congenital heterochromia and disabled legs. You can take the child home and go to the Senior Inspector's assigned villa. Just complete the formalities and move in."

"Thank you, Director General. Thank you, Director General." Chen Xin nodded and bowed.

After watching the two big shots leave, he slumped down in his chair, bewildered:
"Sister, this, this, this."

Chen Shaoyan pulled the blown bubble gum off his face, lowered his head, and said expressionlessly:

"The status of Colossus Academy is higher than we thought. Being just an assistant teacher is already considered a high-ranking position."

Chen Xin was silent at first, then he was ecstatic, feeling that all this was unreal, like a dream. But Chen Shaoyan just sighed softly, with a melancholy look on his face.

The higher you stand, the stronger the wind is, it has always been like this.

"If this goes wrong, I'll be torn to pieces." She closed her eyes and whispered.

………………

At this moment.

Building 47, 208.

"Old Parliament?" Chen Xiang's hair stood on end as he muttered these four words.

"Yes, the Old Parliament. It seems that you have heard of this name." Silver-haired Xiao Wei leaned lazily on the sofa:
"Chen Yongshi, no matter how evil and terrible you have heard about the Old Parliament, you can rest assured that we are all good people."

Evil? Horrible?
Chen Xiang's eyelids twitched.

Wei Qingqiu sat up straight and frowned slightly:

"Those so-called rumors are slander and defamation. The Old Parliament is not the Church of the Evil God."

Chen Xiang took a step back.

Wei Qingqiu frowned even deeper:

"Don't worry, the people of the Old Council don't eat human brains or human hearts, nor do they like to roast babies alive. The rumors are all false."

Chen Xiang retreated again until he reached the wall, where he could no longer retreat. Then he laughed dryly and said:
"To be honest, I haven't heard of those rumors."

"then you?"

"That's pretty scary."

Wei Qingqiu was speechless, covering his head, and spoke after a while:
"So, warrior, are you willing to join the Council of the Old Ones?"

Chen Xiang lowered his eyelids, his mind turning over and over again.
He thought of the visualization diagram and the token.

"Although I don't know what the Old Council is, it sounds very powerful. I'm a nobody, why did the Old Council see me? Why did they invite me?"

As he spoke, Chen Xiang took a deep breath and secretly gathered his strength.

Wei Qingqiu pondered for a moment before saying:
"Black flame, abyssal black flame."

Chen Xiang was stunned:
"Did you see it?"

"I'm not blind." Wei Qingqiu rolled his eyes and said, "You should be favored by the Lord of the Abyss, but His favor is not a good thing."

"What do you mean?" Chen Xiang's expression froze and he asked humbly.

Wei Qingqiu briefly explained:

"Those favored by the Lord of the Abyss will be able to control the Black Flame and become His walkers on earth. Every time you kill a living being with the Black Flame, the Black Flame will plunder the spirit of that living being as a sacrifice to the Lord of the Abyss."

After a pause, she warned seriously:
"Although you can obtain the powerful power of the Black Flame, this is not a good thing. The Black Flame belongs to the Lord of the Abyss, and likewise, you also belong to Him. When He gets tired and takes back the Black Flame, you will be the last sacrifice."

"At the same time, you must remember not to easily expose the existence of Black Flame! Apart from the Abyss Church, other believers will regard you as a demon. You will die!"

"There is one more thing. Although Black Flame belongs to the realm of the Extraordinary Secret Path, you are too weak after all. Even if you master Black Flame, you must act with caution. Any Extraordinary who has reached the third level of Secret Martial Arts can easily kill you before you burn him to death!"

Chen Xiang listened carefully, his brows furrowed tightly, but his mind became active.

The Black Flame will plunder the spirit and dedicate it to the Lord of the Abyss.
But the problem is, the energy and spirit that were plundered by the black flames clearly belonged to him!
He thought of the auditory hallucination and the phrase "authority completion", and suddenly a ridiculous idea came to his mind.

Could it be that I had taken away the authority of Black Flame from the Lord of the Abyss?
No, it shouldn’t be taken away completely, it should be only part of it!

Chen Xiang did not understand what the Lord of the Abyss was, nor did he know what it meant to seize some of His authority.
After hesitating for a long time, he raised his head and looked directly at the silver-haired girl in front of him:

"What benefits will I get from joining the Old Council?"
