Chapter 455: Meeting Again

There is only one orphanage in Langdon, which is located in the suburbs of South Langdon. Go along the bridge across the Thames River and come to the outskirts of the lower city, and you can see the white building next to the ring rail.

Chen Ke has never been to an orphanage in person, but he participated in the volunteer nursing activities in the nursing home during college. He will never forget the sadness and despair emanating from those elderly people.

When he stood in front of the gate of the orphanage, the familiar sadness and despair came to him. The old double wooden doors were closed, and the whole building exuded a strange atmosphere.

Chen Ke used his spiritual vision to scan the building, and the dense human figures in the building were in full view. A rough count of the four-story building estimated that there were as many as sixty or seventy people.

While he was still hesitating about how to sneak in, he found that these human figures were all in strange postures and motionless.

Some people were walking, some were sitting at the table and raising their hands to take something, some were drinking coffee by the window, and some were talking to each other with their arms suspended in the air.

The state of these figures was like being violently stopped in the middle of their daily routine, frozen in a certain moment.

Chen Ke looked around. This orphanage was in the parish, and there were not many carriages passing by on weekdays. The muddy road extended to the distant woods, and it was quiet all around.

He took out his revolver, gently flicked the hammer with his thumb, and put his index finger on the trigger. Sticky blood dripped from the muzzle of the revolver, as if it was ready to move.

Chen Ke walked to the tightly closed double door and gently pushed it open.

A cold wind blew out from inside. The staff in black robes stood motionless in the hall. Although their bodies were frozen, Chen Ke could still feel that these people were still conscious and alive.

He walked past them, and those people stared at him with their eyes, as if begging for help. Chen Ke didn't know what happened here, but there was no doubt that the temperature inside was much colder than outside.

Chen Ke walked up to a lady and looked at her skin and hair carefully. There was no pop-up window in his vision. The blue lines followed her body curves, outlining a precise outline. She was a real human.

Chen Ke checked a few more people and found that this was not an illusion, but something really came into the orphanage and froze them.

"Finish the job/competitor." The black stone conveyed its message.

"He... is here?" Chen Ke asked secretly.

The black stone did not respond.

His muscles were tense and he took a deep breath. Even if the stone did not give an answer, Chen Ke had prepared for the worst.

Maybe he had fought with another Chen Ke before, but the result was failure. This time, if it was really him, what would happen?

Xu Jing said that although the other Chen Ke was a family member, he did not have much combat power. The threat came entirely from dangerous thoughts, that is, that guy had a very strong brainwashing ability!

He didn't know what the other Chen Ke wanted, but as long as he didn't let him speak, he should be able to hit the soul directly after a face-to-face encounter.

He inserted the revolver into the holster, spread his right hand, and with a thought, a refined black pistol appeared in his palm.

Chen Ke held the black pistol tightly. It was a weapon made of black stone that could kill the clan.

Every time he pulled the trigger, he had to pay 90% of his life limit as a price. If he didn't want to kill the clan, Chen Ke would not use it.

Are those people and gods who used it before also heartless like himself? What price do they have to pay every time they use it? Chen Ke was puzzled. Do they also have a life countdown?

"Ammunition/life, not enough." The stone conveyed his meaning.

Chen Ke snorted coldly, and his left hand showed a piece of painful soul, which he crushed with a snap. The life limit returned to the full value and rose to 200 hours.

The last time Chen Ke killed Corrigan, was the life limit 156 or 157? He didn't remember.

Every time this gun is used, the life must be swallowed more than the last time, so the consumption of this gun is increased with the increase of the upper limit.

90% of 200... Chen Ke stood there and counted on his fingers. It was 180 hours. If he fired another shot this time, his life would be reduced to 20 hours.

"I hope it's worth it. I can help these two foundations finish this job... I will never be a killer again." Chen Ke said secretly.

Killing for others is a helpless act. In the adult world, resources are exchanged at equal value. Chen Ke needs the symbiotic stone provided by Lin Yayin, and he also needs Xu Jing to provide him with a legal federal identity.

These are the two cornerstones for him to live a peaceful life in the future.

How long can the symbiotic stone last? Does it work? Will Lin Yayin really give it? Chen Ke is only 50% sure.

But so what? It's better than nothing. He has no choice now. These two foundations are the only helpless choice.

He took the black gun and explored the upstairs of the orphanage, avoiding the people who were fixed one by one. It's strange that although this is an orphanage, there is no child.

Perhaps this is what Jacob is worried about. The dean named William is using his identity to collude with the orphanage and the factory, luring the children to do strange things in the basement of the academy.

Chen Ke scanned the surroundings with his spiritual vision, observing whether there were any moving figures. He held the gun in front of his chest with his right hand, protected the sleeve with his left hand, turned sideways, and quickly checked every room.

Finally, he came to the fourth floor. This floor was very open, with only three rooms and a semi-open balcony. On the left was the dean's office.

Chen Ke approached the dean's office step by step. There were two figures floating in the air, with their feet more than an arm's height above the ground.

"Please tell William that I won't come to him again." A man's voice came from inside.

Chen Ke quickly leaned against the wall, raised his head slightly, and held the black gun level. The two figures inside must be victims, and the person who spoke had no outline.

The room became quiet. Chen Ke waited outside for a while, looking at the door handle, and thoughts surged in his mind.

The life countdown in the upper right corner of the field of vision was passing by second by second, and there was no movement in the room.

Did he leave?

Chen Ke was a little anxious. He finally met someone. Xu Jing might still be in his hands. He couldn't let him run away...

Chen Ke stretched out his left foot slightly, moved himself forward, and reached out with his left hand to turn the door handle.

The next second, he suddenly opened the door, dodged to the door and did a Z-shaped scan of the room.

There was no third person in the lower left corner, the middle, and the upper right corner. Above the desk, an old man and a lady were floating, facing the ceiling, their bodies seemed to be pulled by something, twisting uncomfortably in the air.

"Gone..." Chen Ke said secretly, just like Lin Yayin disappeared in front of the professor, will this Chen Ke also disappear out of thin air?

"Hey." A man behind him called softly.

Chen Ke's hair stood up, he took a step back, turned his waist to the left, and immediately aimed to his left, and instantly saw an Asian man in a black suit.

In Chen Ke's field of vision, a box suddenly popped up:

Faith Family.

Shit, it's 13 points over.
