Chapter 991 – Prelude to Unrest

　　”So ……”

　　”From now on, I will completely astringe my aura.” Shao Pingge said calmly, “After losing the suppression of my aura, in a short period of time, these ‘Mysteries’ might not dare to make a move, as they will worry if I am testing them.

　　But there will always be those disobedient ‘Mysteries’ that can’t hold back their nature and want to jump out of the darkness and test me in turn.

　　And once their actions, do not receive a response from me, they will become more and more rampant ……”

　　”At this point, it’s time for me to strike.” Chen Han quickly comprehended Shao Pingge’s meaning, “I’m going to personally slaughter those ‘mysteries’ that jumped out to make a name for myself.”

　　”That’s right, but the problem is that a brand new king is bound to cause them to question when he first appears, and at this time, more ‘mysteries’ will appear and touch your bottom line …… All you have to do is to constantly prove yourself and keep implanting fear in them.”

　　”But won’t the ‘mysterious’ movements hurt the civilians in this way?”

　　”On the civilian side, I’ll take care of the protection, so don’t worry.” Shao Pingge’s gaze fell on the city, as if he remembered something, “Moreover, right now in Shangjing City, there is still a group of little ones …… some weak ‘Mysterious’ that they can handle.

　　This is also a kind of training for them.”

　　After listening to Shao Pingge’s plan, Chen Han sighed:

　　”Sounds tricky.”

　　”Otherwise, how can you say that not just anyone can be the captain of Shangjing City?” Shao Pingge laughed.

　　A moment later, the smile on Shao Pingge’s face gradually tightened, and in its place, there was an unprecedented seriousness.

　　”Although it’s not easy for you to come all the way from Anta County, I still have to remind you.” Shao Pingge looked at Chen Han’s eyes, “This matter, is not a joke, once you start, you can’t stop in the middle, if you fail to manage to suppress all the evils of the Upper Capital with your own strength, then your establishment of authority will be considered a failure.

　　They will no longer fear you, nor will they abide by the order you have created. At this point, I can only step in to suppress them, so as to avoid a large-scale riot.

　　But in doing so, you will completely lose your qualifications to become the captain of Shangjing City.

　　So …… Chen Han, are you really ready?”

　　Chen Han quietly gazed at the city beneath his feet, took a deep breath, and closed his eyes.

　　”Ready.”

　　In the sky, an aura that had shrouded Shangjing City for more than ten years was silently dissipating.

　　It was already midnight, the dimly lit roads were empty, this prosperous and lively city had fallen into a deep sleep, only darkness and dead silence still existed in all corners of the city.

　　I do not know how long.

　　A broken street lamp on the road flashed, and in the deserted alleyway, a human-shaped shadow was projected, that shadow looked up in the direction of the sky, seemingly very puzzled.

　　After a moment, he shook his head and his figure disappeared under the streetlight.

　　The streetlight flickered once more and returned to normal, as if it had never been broken.

　　At the same time, in a certain modern clothing store in the mall that had already closed for business, a pale plastic mannequin that had collapsed in the corner suddenly twisted its head in a bizarre manner, its empty gaze staring in a certain direction.

　　The air was briefly dead silent for a moment.

　　Click, click.

　　The plastic mannequin’s movable joints made several crunching sounds, and its limbs twisted bizarrely as it landed on the ground, its long black plastic hair draped in front of its face like a giant humanoid reptile.

　　It violently smashed the display window, and since the pitch-black storefront, it crawled out sharply and instantly disappeared without a trace.

　　The first elementary school in Shangjing City.

　　The large teaching building was dark at this moment.

　　In the middle of the silent classroom, on top of the classroom desk leaning against the window, there were messy stationery everywhere, with the scratches of sharp fingernails, and the curses and dirty statements outlined in pencil were written all over the entire desktop.

　　Suddenly, a simple pencil trembled slightly, and then violently stood up from the desk, eerily hovering above a piece of white paper.

　　After a short pause, the pencil’s tip, began to automatically outline on the white paper.

　　The sound of salsa echoed within the dead silent classroom, as if there was a pair of invisible hands, holding the pencil, carving something with force.

　　At the same time, a scalp numbing female voice sounded eerily:

　　”Pen Fairy …… Pen Fairy ……

　　You are my past life …… I am your present life ……”

　　”Huh?”

　　Inside the courtyard, the 006 squad that was busy as well as the crowd of the [Night Curtain] squad all looked as if they had sensed something and looked to the sky at the same time.

　　The members of Squad 006, at the same time, looked at Yuan Gang, who shook his head at them after hesitating for a moment.

　　The team members took a deep breath, still didn’t say anything more, and just silently continued to do what they were doing.

　　This matter, they could not intervene.

　　Inside the long corridor.

　　”What a strong ‘mysterious’ aura ……” An Qingyu pushed his glasses, his brows furrowed tightly, “In Shangjing City, just how much of a ‘Mysterious’?”

　　”Looks like they’ve already started.”

　　Lin Qiye put down the melon in his hands and stood up from the corridor recliner, his eyes gazing into the distance as he slowly spoke.

　　”Do we really not need to care?” An Qingyu asked.

　　”It’s not that we don’t need to, but we can’t.” Lin Qiye shook his head and explained.

　　”This is a moment of prestige belonging to the new king, it’s fine if it’s someone with weak strength, but if someone at the ‘limitless’ level like you and I intervene, it’ll be counterproductive instead.

　　After all, the deterrent effect of a person killing their way through the Upper Capital is completely different from a person killing their way through the Upper Capital with the help of other people, the birth of a new king must not be aided by any external assistance, and our rash intervention will only lower the fear value of the new king within the ‘Mysteries’.”

　　”That’s why you let those new recruits bring their swords into the upper capital?” An Qingyu raised an eyebrow, “You’ve been preparing for this for a long time?”

　　”When I said I’d let them take a vacation, I didn’t say I’d let them take a peaceful vacation.” Lin Qiye spoke leisurely, “The new recruits are very weak, even if they participate in this alternation of the old and new king, they won’t attract large-scale attention from the ‘Mysteries’ and won’t affect the birth of the new king, while those weak ‘Mysteries’ that roam between the cities ‘, on the other hand, can provide them with practical combat experience.

　　This is killing two birds with one stone.”

　　”Aren’t you afraid that some high realm ‘Mysteries’ will strike and injure those new recruits? What if there are casualties?”

　　Hearing these words, Lin Qiye’s eyes narrowed slightly as he gazed at the night color above his head and spoke indifferently:

　　”No one can injure my soldiers under my night colors.”

　　”But aren’t we not allowed to directly intervene in this battle?” An Qingyu frowned.

　　”Of course you guys can’t, but I can.” Lin Qiye turned to An Qingyu and smiled mysteriously, “I …… naturally have my ways.”
