From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star

The lights are on.

The Atler Club is lit with a faint blue light.

The information given by Chen Linian shows that the middleman named Christopher is in this club.

This club is a bit special. It is an international chain of superpower clubs.

On the surface, it is a place for superpowers to relax and have fun, but in fact, this club provides special services to superpowers.

Including but not limited to crystal core trading, intelligence trading, and services to satisfy personal special desires.

Of course, the prerequisite for enjoying these is to have top combat power.

The moment superpowers appear, the social structure inevitably changes.

Superpowers are destined to get privileges, provided that they are superpowers with strong combat power.

The more chaotic the order, the greater the class gap.

Daxia is already the best-maintained order among all the countries in the world, but it can only maintain order from collapse.

Ordinary people living in Daxia have no idea to what extent the society outside Daxia has collapsed after the abyss descended.

Huntington, a political scientist of the White Eagle Federation, once mentioned in "The Clash of Civilizations and the Rebuilding of World Order" that Daxia is a civilization disguised as a country.

This sentence actually implies malice, but what it tells is very close to the truth.

The people on this land are tenacious, hardworking, and intelligent, and have the longest civilization heritage of mankind.

There is a reason why only one of the four ancient civilizations in the human world is left now.

Time enters the end of December when the abyss descends, which is a time point with special significance.

In ten days, the abyss will be a full year.

During this year, the world pattern has undergone tremendous changes. Some countries have declined in the invasion of the abyss, and some small countries have even completely disappeared in the fog.

In the future, there will be more and more abyss demons appearing in the fog, the human world will accelerate its fall into the abyss, and the living environment of humans will become worse and worse.

In a harsh living environment, some people choose to raise swords to the demons, while others point their guns at their own kind.

This is the difference between civilization and barbarism.

…

8:16 pm.

This was the time when the Atriel Club just started to get busy. Many superpowers gathered here to enjoy the bright lights and revelry.

Across the street from the Atriel Club, a car was parked by the curb.

Lu Heng sat in the car and looked at the logo of the club.

The logo was six white light letters "Atriel".

This superpower club was very famous in the later generations. It was opened all over the world and formed a special superpower intelligence network.

15 minutes ago, Lu Heng received a message from Chen Linian and came here with Su Muyu.

At this moment, Su Muyu sat in the co-pilot seat and closed her eyes for reconnaissance.

Her vision was completely focused on the Chongming Bird, and she began to scout in the Atriel Club.

Two minutes later, Su Muyu suddenly opened her eyes and said, "Found it, but my Chongming Bird was also found."

Because this action was very fierce, all thundering means were used.

So when Su Muyu was conducting reconnaissance, she directly controlled the Chongming Bird to fly into the Atriel Club.

After all, this club is an international club for superpowers, and there are indeed top superpowers in it.

The Chongming Bird flew directly into the club to look for him. Although it was in an invisible state, it was so close that it was certain to be discovered.

Lu Heng didn't mind being discovered, as long as he was fast enough.

Su Muyu said quickly: "The person is in room 207. He should have received the message and has come out of the room and got on the elevator."

Lu Heng put on a mask and a hood, pushed open the car door and got out, walked towards the club, and said in the communicator: "Confirm the floor."

"The elevator went up to the 25th floor, the elevator door opened, and the person entered the invisible state. He should be alert and want to escape." Su Muyu continued to report the situation.

Lu Heng sprinted, jumped high, used [Void Flash] in the air, and his figure flashed to the 25th floor of the Atler Club.

"Room 2501." Su Muyu continued to report the room number.

Lu Heng walked to the door of Room 2501 and was about to break the door when it suddenly opened from the inside.

But there was nothing behind the door.

Nothing could be seen in sight, but the distance was so close that Lu Heng could even hear the other person's breathing.

Obviously, this person had entered the invisible state.

At such a close distance, coupled with Lu Heng's high perception, this level of invisibility could be caught with his eyes closed.

Lu Heng raised his hand to pinch the other person's neck, pushed him into the room, and pressed him against the wall with a "bang".

The invisible man was hit hard and groaned. His figure gradually withdrew from the invisible state, and finally his appearance was seen clearly.

This was a white male in his forties, with brown hair and blue eyes. He had been tanned, so his skin color was darker.

He was pinched by the neck and pressed against the wall. He grabbed Lu Heng's wrist with both hands and struggled hard.

He was holding a handbag in his hand, and it fell to the ground with a "click".

He flipped his right palm and took out a Browning pistol.

Lu Heng took it and put it on his head, turning on the safety.

"Don't! Who are you? We've never met before." The white man realized that resistance was futile and quickly tried to communicate.

"Christopher?" Lu Heng said his name.

"I... I'm Christopher Sanchez... I'm a Lionheart Empire national. I know the Lionheart Empire's ambassador in Daxia. You'd better not hurt me." He immediately revealed his identity and stated that he had a relationship with the ambassador.

"Don't say you know the ambassador. Even if you are the ambassador, I dare to make a hole in your forehead." Lu Heng's eyes revealed a murderous look.

Christopher Sanchez was not very afraid: "Don't blame me for not reminding you. If you hurt me, the consequences will be serious. You will definitely be sent to the arbitration tribunal."

Lu Heng raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and without any nonsense, he loaded the gun, pulled the trigger, and shot him in the thigh.

Bang!

Ah!

Christopher Sanchez screamed miserably, beads of sweat overflowed from his forehead, and finally a panicked expression appeared on his face.

Lu Heng stared into his eyes and asked, "Which part of your body do you need me to make a hole in?"

"No... no, I will cooperate with whatever I want." Christopher Sanchez found that the Daxia man in front of him was completely different from those he had seen before.

Many Daxia people he had seen before did not dare to offend him because of his foreign identity.

However, the Daxia man in front of him said to shoot.

If he was not worth questioning, the shot just now might have been shot in the head.

"Do you know Jin Shibiao from the Golden Leopard Mercenary Company?" Lu Heng began to ask.

"No, I don't know who you are talking about." Christopher Sanchez immediately denied.

Lu Heng put the muzzle of the gun on his arm and pulled the trigger directly.

Bang!

Ouch!

Christopher Sanchez screamed even more miserably and quickly changed his words: "I know... I know you, I will tell you everything, don't shoot again."

He had been shot twice, and blood was gushing out of the wound.

The Daxia man in front of him was more cruel than any Daxia man he had ever seen.

He begged for mercy: "I will tell you whatever you ask, as long as you don't kill me."

Lu Heng did not respond to his request and continued to ask: "Who ordered you to attack the Quencher?"

Christopher Sanchez's expression became ugly. He had actually guessed why the Daxia man in front of him came, but this matter involved too much.

He hesitated for two seconds, and Lu Heng put the muzzle of the gun on his shoulder.

"Don't shoot, I said, it's...ah!"

Bang!

The third shot penetrated his shoulder blade, and his face was distorted with pain.

Even a superpower could not withstand such a gunshot wound, and the position of the shot was getting closer and closer to the torso.

He was finally scared and did not dare to hesitate: "It's the Knights of the Round Table. What you want to ask is the Knights of the Round Table Mercenary Organization. I am just a middleman, and the person who contacted me is a leader of the Knights of the Round Table Mercenary Organization.

"I am only responsible for finding agents in Daxia to carry out the task of threatening the Quencher. I am not involved in other things. "

Lu Heng then asked: "Who killed the Tempering Master?"

Christopher Sanchez shook his head vigorously: "This is not my responsibility. I am only responsible for finding agents in Daxia and threatening the Tempering Masters to force them to go to the Lionheart Empire and work for them."

He saw that Lu Heng's gun was about to move again, and hurriedly added: "I am not responsible for the murder, but I know it was the Knights of the Round Table. The Knights of the Round Table are the power behind you, and I have told you everything I know. Please, let me go. "

...

At the same time.

The street downstairs.

Su Muyu sat in the car ready to respond, observing the surrounding movements.

At this time.

Two superpower bodyguards, one black and one white, walked out of the Atler Club and knocked on the car door.

Since Christopher Sanchez received the news and wanted to escape, the Atler Club naturally got the news.

Another special feature of the Atler Club is that it will give shelter to certain superpowers.

Of course, the Atler Club will not violate local laws on the surface, but it can do a lot of things on the edge of the law.

The two superpower bodyguards knocked on Su Muyu's car window and put their right hands on the holster at their waist.

"Miss, lower the car window and explain your purpose."

Su Muyu glanced at the two of them, lowered the car window halfway, and said, "Go away! "

The white psychic who knocked on the car window suddenly jumped up, reached into the car, and tried to grab Su Muyu's hair.

He had a lot of experience dealing with women. Even if they were hiding in the car, he could just grab their hair and drag them out.

However, this time he found the wrong target.

As soon as he reached his hand into the car, a circle of dark thorns suddenly appeared on the car window, binding his palm.

The barbs on the dark thorns pierced into his wrist.

His blood began to drain at a rate of 273 points per minute. This was the damage effect of the dark thorn trap, 3× mental damage per minute.

With the level of the white psychic bodyguard, his life would be in danger in half a minute at most.

"Ah! What is this? Ah!" He struggled desperately, but the more he struggled, the more serious the wound was torn.

Seeing this, the other black man turned and left.

The white man yelled in panic: "What are you doing? Come and help me! "

The black man ran just two steps when he ran into a giant bird head-on and was knocked to the ground.

After Su Muyu taught the two men a lesson, he sat in the driver's seat, started the car, and drove away to avoid any more trouble.

...

At this time.

Five cars from the Iron Blood Investigation Bureau drove over.

Su Muyu said in the communicator: "The Iron Blood people are here, is your side finished?"

Lu Heng asked all the information he should ask, and there is no evidence.

This Christopher Sanchez is just a middleman who is responsible for coming to Daxia to find an agent.

The mastermind behind him is the Round Table Knights Mercenary Organization of the Lionheart Empire.

The people who contacted him could not leave evidence for him, so there is basically no direct evidence from this person that can prove that the Round Table Knights Mercenary Organization killed the Daxia Quencher.

If Lu Heng really wants to find evidence, he can't find it on Christopher Sanchez.

Even Iron Blood has no evidence to arrest Jin Shibiao of the Golden Leopard Mercenary Company.

So, Lu Heng didn't intend to get evidence from the beginning.

The Iron Blood Investigation Bureau is responsible for checking the evidence.

Lu Heng just needs to know who the opponent is.

The Round Table Knights is a very famous mercenary organization in later generations, and it can be said to be the strongest mercenary in the Lionheart Empire.

Among the most famous world-class mercenary organizations in the Abyss Era, the Round Table Knights rank above the Ghost Warriors.

Onimusha is the strongest mercenary organization in Fuso, while the Knights of the Round Table belong to the Lionheart Empire.

Moreover, the Knights of the Round Table mercenary organization has a great background behind it. It is a mercenary organization controlled by the Planta family of the Lionheart Empire.

The Planta family is one of the 33rd-level families of the ASE All-Seeing Eye Alliance.

This family controls a huge amount of wealth, which can be said to be rich enough to rival a country.

For the 33rd-level families of the ASE All-Seeing Eye Alliance, even if the country is destroyed, these families will not die.

The origin of this family can be traced back to the Plantanite Dynasty in the 11th century, with a long heritage.

This family that can be passed down for ten centuries has experienced a thousand years of historical changes and can still continue. It is hard to imagine how deep its foundation can be.

In fact.

Lu Heng thought from the beginning that there must be a big force behind the attack on the Quencher, but he didn't expect it to be the strongest mercenary organization of the Lionheart Empire, the Knights of the Round Table.

No wonder these people are so arrogant, it turns out that they have such a strong combat force behind them.

In fact, the reason why the Mitsui Group in Fuso dared to take action many times in Daxia was because they had the powerful combat force of the Onimusha Mercenary Organization.

If Iron Blood were to investigate this case and trace it back to Christopher Sanchez, the case would have ended like this.

Because Iron Blood could not trace the Round Table Knights Mercenary Organization, which was the armed force of the Lionheart Empire.

This has already involved the issue between countries, and the nature is completely different.

Therefore, if Iron Blood were to handle this matter, it would only be able to cut off the hand of the Round Table Knights Mercenary Organization that reached into Daxia, and there was nothing it could do about the Lionheart Empire's first mercenary organization.

Iron Blood could not do anything about the Round Table Knights, but it did not mean that Lu Heng could not do anything.

After Chen Linian led people to the 25th floor, Lu Heng let go of Christopher Sanchez, flashed back to the ground, and after meeting up with Su Muyu, drove away.

…

In the corridor on the 25th floor of the Atler Club.

Chen Linian led his men to the door of Room 2501, and seeing the miserable state of the white man inside, he waved his hand and ordered his men to arrest him.

He walked to the window and looked at the street below.

On the street, there was a car driving away from the block where the club was located.

He recognized that it was the car driven by Lu Heng.

He watched the car disappear at the end of the street without any intention of chasing it.

If Lu Heng had not personally taken action, the case would not have been able to continue to be investigated at the Golden Leopard Mercenary Organization.

Sometimes investigating a case is so troublesome.

He clearly knew who he was investigating, but he just couldn't find evidence.

In comparison, Lu Heng's way of doing things was much more straightforward. He beat the person directly, and then slowly questioned him. If he couldn't get the answer, he would beat him to death.

If it was in peacetime, he would think this approach was too cruel.

But in the Abyss Era, such people are needed.

When the enemy is unreasonable, if you continue to reason, the two sides will be unequal.

Chen Linian was in the Iron Blood Investigation Bureau, representing the official department of Daxia, so he had to talk about evidence, and everything was aimed at finding evidence.

However, he was very grateful to Lu Heng. Only Lu Heng's thunderous means could deal with those robbers.

Christopher Sanchez was shot three times. After seeing the Iron Blood agent, he kept muttering: "I want to see the ambassador, I want to see the ambassador."

Chen Linian looked back at him and ordered: "Seal your mouth, put on a hood and take him away."

...

After returning to the Iron Blood headquarters, Chen Linian quickly asked Christopher Sanchez for information.

Christopher Sanchez had already answered Lu Heng's questions. He had said what he should and shouldn't say, so there was no need to continue resisting.

Therefore, Chen Linian also asked about the information of the Round Table Knights Mercenary Organization.

At this point, he found that this case was beyond his authority.

Not to mention him, even if the national level wanted to deal with this matter, there was nothing he could do.

After all, the Knights of the Round Table Mercenary Organization is the strongest mercenary force in the Lionheart Empire. There is no way to deal with such a cross-border incident.

At most, it can be retaliated with equal sanctions.

After the interrogation, he called Lu Heng.

"Have you found out all the information about the Knights of the Round Table?" He asked with a helpless tone.

"I've asked."

"I've already reported the matter, and the rest is not my business." Chen Linian envied Lu Heng inexplicably at this time.

He finally understood why Lu Heng had never joined a department like Tiexue.

With this identity, he had to follow the rules.

Lu Heng said calmly: "It's okay, I'll take care of the rest."

Chen Linian was surprised when he heard Lu Heng's words, and asked: "Are you still going to find the Knights of the Round Table Mercenary Organization?"

"Every grievance has its perpetrator, and every debt has its creditor. The matter is not over yet, why not find it?" Lu Heng's answer was very straightforward.

"But..." Chen Linian was worried that Lu Heng was too reckless, and wanted to persuade him, but thinking of his previous contact with Lu Heng, he took back his words.

He pondered for a moment and said: "If you need any help, just call me, as long as I can do it."
