Chapter 86 Is My Face Real?
Bai Ye could certainly take away the fragments stolen by the Fire Usurper, but in this case, even if his identity as the Thief Saint was abolished, the Fire Usurper would certainly do his best to hunt him down...
For him, doing so would definitely not be worth the loss, but if the fragments were stolen by someone else in the ancient collection, it would be different.
After figuring it all out, Chen Ling finally breathed a sigh of relief. He returned to the bed and sat down, and the last big stone in his heart finally fell.
He could control the "performance" in the Bingdao Ancient Collection, but once he left the ancient collection, the development of things would be beyond his ability... Whether it was the three law enforcement officers or the Thief Saint Bai Ye, they were not the existence he could contend with. His only hope was to place his hopes on the mysterious contactor.
But he didn't expect that the contactor and the Thief Saint Bai Ye were actually the same person.
"You acted quite realistically just now." Bai Ye couldn't help but sigh, "I almost thought that you had really been replaced by No. 13..."
Chen Ling laughed dryly twice and said nothing.
Bai Ye put away the fragments of the Dao Foundation and continued, "I have stolen the memories of the three law enforcement officers about the changes in the ancient treasures of the Way of the Weapon. They will no longer suspect you... Next, can you get out of this by yourself?"
"Yes." Chen Ling nodded.
Then, he seemed to remember something, "By the way, can you do me another favor?"
"You say."
"Help me hide these two things on the beam of No. 128 Frost Street, District 3."
Chen Ling handed Bai Qi Ling and the red ring to Bai Ye, who took a closer look and said in surprise, "This thing has the breath of the Way of the Weapon God. It's a good thing... Did you bring it out of the ancient treasures?"
"Yes."
"Okay, anything else?"
Chen Ling shook his head. Bai Ye was about to leave, but suddenly stopped and took out a piece of paper from his arms with a strange expression.
"There is another thing I want to ask you... What does this message you sent me mean?"
Chen Ling took the note in confusion, and saw the two bloody words on it, and suddenly froze in place.
——Go to hell!
"???" Chen Ling clearly remembered that he didn't write this in the grocery store... Was it the audience's fault again?
"This... um... was an accident." Chen Ling explained vaguely.
Bai Ye looked at him strangely, but then retracted his gaze and waved his hand casually,
"Let's go, see you in Aurora City."
The next moment, his figure disappeared from the spot.
See you in Aurora City?
A trace of doubt flashed through Chen Ling's mind... Why did these members of the Dusk Society run to Aurora City one by one? Chu Muyun was like this, and so was Bai Ye.
Without the Dao Foundation fragments and Bai Qi Ling, Chen Ling felt relaxed. He lay directly on the bed and closed his eyes to rest.
After a few hours, the ship slowly docked at Winter Harbor, and a law enforcement officer helped the "weak" Chen Ling back to land.
As soon as Chen Ling got off the ship, he saw dozens of law enforcement officers in black and red uniforms, who had blocked the entire Winter Harbor.
The originally bustling port was now filled with only solemnity and coldness. Seeing this scene, Chen Ling knew that the Aurora City had received the news... More than 70 law enforcers who were originally expected by Aurora City entered the Bingdao Ancient Treasure Trial, but only one survived. This was undoubtedly an earthquake-level bad news for Aurora City!
"Are you Chen Ling?" A six-pattern law enforcer stepped forward and frowned at Chen Ling.
"Yes."
The six-pattern law enforcer gave the surrounding law enforcers a look, "Search."
The three law enforcers rushed to Chen Ling without saying a word and searched him from head to toe, almost making him strip on the spot. Under this level of search, Chen Ling could not hide anything at all.
Of course, they were destined to find nothing.
"Nothing else." A law enforcer whispered.
"Sorry, Chen Ling." The six-pattern law enforcer spoke again without question, "Next, we need to verify your face to prevent the usurper from replacing your identity."
As soon as this sentence came out, Chen Ling's eyes narrowed.
To be honest, he had already guessed about the face check... Since Aurora City knew that a fire usurper had sneaked into the Bingdao Ancient Treasure, they naturally had to be on guard, not to mention that he was the only one who walked out alive.
From the moment he walked out of the ancient treasure, Chen Ling was destined to accept the most rigorous investigation in the entire Aurora Realm.
A law enforcer drew a short knife from his bosom and walked slowly to Chen Ling;
Before he could make any move, Chen Ling broke free from the law enforcers on both sides and took out his own dagger from his bosom...
This scene directly frightened many law enforcers around, and they were instantly alert, and the six-pattern law enforcer's eyes became sharp.
"I'll do it myself."
Chen Ling stabbed the sharp dagger into his cheek expressionlessly, and then cut it open a little bit... Scarlet blood dripped along the blade, revealing the flesh under the skin.
The sobbing cold wind blew through the dead silent port. Under the tense gaze of everyone, the young man who was cutting his own face with his own hands smiled.
The cut cheek was bloody and eerie. He raised the corner of his mouth slightly and asked softly:
"You look at my face...really?"
…
District 3.
Enforcer headquarters.
“Mengge!! Mengge!!!”
A figure pushed the door open and rushed into the office.
“What happened?” Han Meng, who was sitting behind his desk, frowned slightly, “Why are you so panicked?”
“It’s Aurora City! There’s news from Aurora City!”
“Aurora City?”
Han Meng seemed to think of something, “Jiang Qin, Chen Ling and the others came out of the ancient treasure?”
“…dead.”
“What?” Han Meng was stunned.
“All dead!!” The enforcer repeated, “The usurper raided the Bingdao ancient treasure, and all the enforcers who entered the ancient treasure were killed! Except…”
Han Meng’s face turned pale in an instant, and he stood up from his seat suddenly, and a terrifying pressure filled the room in an instant!
“Except what?”
“Except Chen Ling.” He said, “Aurora City said that Chen Ling is the only survivor…”
Han Meng was stunned.
"They found Chen Ling in a pile of corpses. When they found him, he was said to have lost too much blood and almost died..."
"What about now? Has he been rescued?"
"He was rescued, but he was said to be detained in Winter Port. He was said to be investigated and interrogated by Aurora City. Among the law enforcers who entered the ancient treasure this time, there was a young master of the Star Chamber of Commerce and the son of a seven-pattern law enforcer... Both families have sent people to Winter Port. I don't know if they want to..."
Hearing the last sentence, Han Meng seemed to have thought of something and his face changed.
Without waiting for the law enforcer to say anything else, he pushed the door open and walked out. His black windbreaker disappeared at the end of the snow at an astonishing speed!
