Chapter 52 Demonic Law Enforcer?
At this time, in a shop on Frost Street.
Dozens of bosses gathered together, all with frowns, as if the world was about to be destroyed.
"He... really wanted the same 'peach'?" A boss asked tentatively.
"Yes."
"Told me the same thing."
"When he stuffed the heart in, it was still dripping with blood... I was almost scared to death at that time, you know?"
"But... but where can we get him to get people's hearts?!"
"He wouldn't want us to do a living sacrifice or something, right?"
"... It's really weird. Although the last law enforcer was overbearing and tyrannical, at least he could solve it by stuffing money, but, but this Chen Ling... why does he want people's hearts?"
"Today, the neighbors next door told me that they saw Chen Ling walking on the road and eating a heart in two or three bites..."
"!!!"
Hearing this, everyone widened their eyes, and the scene of Chen Ling grinning and tearing the heart appeared in their minds... The temperature in the room dropped suddenly.
Gulu.
I don't know who swallowed his saliva.
The timid boss was shaking all over.
"He... likes to eat human hearts? Isn't that something that only demons in the storybooks do?"
"If he doesn't like to eat, why would he carry such a big bag of human hearts on the road?"
"So... where do his human hearts come from?"
"... Wait, the more you talk, the weirder it gets."
Uncle Zhao, who had been sitting quietly in the corner, couldn't help but say, "A Ling, I know him well. I've watched him grow up since he was a child. He's a good kid... How could he be as weird as you say? Did you see it wrong?"
"Impossible, so many of us saw it!"
"What do you think... should we report it to the law enforcer?"
"Are you crazy? Report it to the law enforcer? Chen Ling himself is the law enforcer! Do you want him to dig out your heart and eat you in the street?"
The boss who made the suggestion shuddered and fell silent.
"Then what should we do next... We can't really make him popular, can we?"
"..."
Everyone was talking, and the atmosphere of panic and confusion became more and more intense. In the end, no one spoke anymore, but kept their heads down, as if they were considering whether to move away...
But even if they moved away, where could they go? Could they afford houses in other streets?
"Let's do this." One of the oldest bosses spoke slowly, "It is definitely impossible to pay tribute to people's hearts... Boss Xiao, aren't you a butcher? First, get him a few pig hearts and chicken hearts and see his reaction..."
"Pig hearts and chicken hearts, will it work?"
"If not, what can we do? We can't get the kind of 'peach' he wants..."
"Let's see the situation first. Anyway, everyone must not provoke him. I have a hunch that he is more brutal than any law enforcer we have seen before..."
"Understood."
...
Chen Ling waited until dark, but didn't get any peaches.
"Which link went wrong... Does it take so long to buy a few peaches?" Chen Ling was puzzled.
Just as he was about to get up, close the door, and go back to the house to rest, a figure walked to his door.
Seeing the man's appearance, Chen Ling's eyes narrowed slightly...
"Captain Han Meng? Why are you here again?"
Han Meng did not wear the black windbreaker with four patterns today, but a casual dress. Perhaps for this reason, Chen Ling did not feel oppressive from him this time, as if the person standing in front of him was an ordinary young man.
"I'm here to deliver the documents to you... Your quota for the Bingdao Ancient Treasure has been approved." Han Meng held a piece of paper between his fingertips and said calmly, "What? Don't you want me to come in and sit down?"
Chen Ling hesitated for a moment, but still got up and made way.
If it was before, Chen Ling would not let Han Meng into the house, but since hearing those things at the headquarters today, his impression of Han Meng has changed.
Han Meng sat down at the table naturally, looked at the neatly folded law enforcement uniforms beside him, and asked casually:
"How do you feel about being a law enforcement officer on your first day?"
"The power of law enforcement officers is greater than I thought." Chen Ling said lightly, "I'm not used to it."
"It's normal. Many people will be overwhelmed by the sudden power and benefits after becoming law enforcement officers, and they will degenerate... But you didn't, I didn't make a mistake about this."
"How do you know I didn't?"
Han Meng looked at the house that was still leaking everywhere and said nothing.
"Of course, being too weak is not a good thing. It will make people think that you are easy to bully. You must establish your dignity appropriately..."
Han Meng was halfway through his words when a figure riding a bicycle passed by Chen Ling's door. Perhaps because the door was too slippery, he fell to the ground with a plop.
He cursed and was about to ride away, but when he saw the house in front of him and Chen Ling in the house, his face suddenly changed!
"I'm sorry! Chief Chen Ling! I disturbed your rest... I'm really sorry!!"
Without saying a word, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times.
Then he stood up from the snow, crawling and running out of the alley without looking back, leaving a bicycle idling in front of Chen Ling's house...
Han Meng:...?
"..." Han Meng was silent for a long time, "Your majesty... is well established."
Chen Ling recognized that the man who had just fled in a hurry was the shop owner who had met him once in the afternoon. He also gave him a peach... But he couldn't figure out why the other party was as surprised as seeing a ghost when he saw him.
"Let's talk about business first."
Han Meng handed the document to Chen Ling, "Tomorrow at noon, meet with several other law enforcers at the headquarters of the third district and prepare to set off for the Bingdao Ancient Tibetan."
"So soon?"
It has only been two or three days since the end of the martial arts test. He has even just put on the law enforcer uniform, and he has already arranged to go to the Bingdao Ancient Tibetan?
"Originally, the opening time of the Bingdao Ancient Treasures is three months later every year, but this year is an exception." Han Meng paused for a moment, "Yesterday, Districts 5 and 6 encountered a large-scale intersection of the gray realms, and a fifth-level disaster crawled out, and almost all the law enforcement officers of the two districts died..."
"Another gray realm intersection?" Chen Ling was surprised and said, "Isn't it said that the intersection of the gray realm in the human realm is rare?"
"It used to be true, but recently... the Aurora Realm is a little abnormal."
Chen Ling remembered that Chu Muyun had said this before. The torrential rain that occurred once in a decade not long ago caused the gray realm intersection of the mass grave, and the continuous heavy snow in the past few days caused a large-scale intersection of Districts 5 and 6... It seems that every chaotic celestial phenomenon will cause an intersection.
"Is it related to celestial phenomena?" Chen Ling asked tentatively.
"Maybe." Han Meng seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes narrowed slightly, "And... the Dusk Society also appeared."
Hearing the three words Dusk Society, Chen Ling's mind moved, and he asked casually:
"Dusk Society? What is that?"
