Chapter 1: Jude Law's Past

Vera sat at Lowe's bedside, Jude Law's journal in her hand, trying to restrain her excitement.

"You must take a good look at this diary!" Vera handed the diary to Luo, and after reading the diary, she did not choose to report to Zhu Lan but directly found Luo, indicating that this diary contained clues that Luo was extremely eager for.

"Tell me about it!" Lowe was calm, not as eager as Vera had expected.

Vera spread out her journal and spoke to Lo.

Twenty years ago, Jude Law was a ten-year-old boy. Born in a poor village on the continent of Is, he wasn't a natural gift, but he was taller and more athletic for his peers. His homeland has been devastated by war, and the village has been controlled by a mercenary army since he was born. The villagers were forced to pay food to the mercenaries, adult men had to work as laborers to build bases for the legion's mining of minerals, and the slightest bit of femininity was violated by the mercenaries on a daily basis.

Jude Law's parents died early due to the ravages of the mercenaries, so the seeds of hatred were planted in his heart at an early age. In order to survive, Jude Law, who was only ten years old, labored for the mercenaries in exchange for a little food to satisfy his hunger. Despite being ruthlessly oppressed by the Legion during Jude Law's formative years, he grew like a weed. At the age of eighteen, he was almost as strong as a mutated bison, and the Legion's mercenaries once considered him a gifted man with physical abilities beyond human limits. Because of his physical prowess, the legion chose Jude Law to be one of them. Despite not being a gift, he did a great job. Jude Law endured the humiliation, knowing that he couldn't fight against this mercenary group until he learned his skills. So the seven-year mercenary career began, and after hellish training, Jude Law was involved in actual combat. He was forced to do many things against his conscience, some of which the mercenaries had done to their parents. But Jude Law endured it, and the longer he stayed in the Legion, the more he learned how terrible it was.

Jude Law performed better in the Legion than some of the low-level talents, and although he did not have the ability to go beyond the limits of humans, he had a wealth of combat experience and fighting skills. Someone in the upper echelons of the Legion took a fancy to him and injected him with a serum capable of creating a super soldier. This serum is not an inferior serum that trades lives for strength, but a high-quality serum that the legions stole from the Empire. This serum has very few side effects on humans, and its effect is gradual. It helps injectors to push the limits of human beings through intense training, but the process is painful. The Legion even somehow obtained the formula of the serum and mastered the method of mass-producing super soldiers. Jude Law and the others were used as the first test subjects, not only to participate in various missions, but also to be imprisoned in laboratories and studied by the evil scientists of the Legion.

The painful experience gave Jude Law the idea of escaping the legion, and a mass rebellion appeared near his hometown. During a mission to suppress the Rebellion, Jude Law defected. He joined the Resistance, which grew in the years to become known as the Thunderfire Legion on the mainland.

"So, the mercenary group that transformed Jude Law is the Lird Legion?" Although Jude Law's diary did not name the mysterious legion, Lowe had already guessed it.

"It may just be a branch of the Lird Legion!" Vera analyzed, "According to this diary, the Lird Legion has mastered the technology of artificial talents, but in recent years the terrorist activities of this legion have decreased. It seems that the power of the Legion is also shrinking, so much so that the rise of the Thunderfire Legion joined by Jude Law has pushed the Lird Legion into a desperate situation for a time. ”

"Is it because it takes too many resources to study artificial talents?" Luo thought, "No, then the Lird Legion suddenly launched a counterattack, and in a few months it wiped out the Thunderfire Legion, just like a sleeping lion woke up. ”

"The sleeping lion?" is an apt analogy. Vera placed her hand on her pointed chin and fell into deep thought, "Their great army is like evaporating from the earth, in the time of the rise of the Thunderfire Legion. Isn't it strange that the Lird Legion, which is supposed to be able to compete with a nation, has been defeated by the civil resistance for a long time?"

"Are there any other clues in the diary?" Lou asked Vera, doving the question.

"Yes, Jude Law has written in his last diary the address of an abandoned base for the Lird Legion, where he was transformed into a gifted person. Vera flipped the journal to where she had marked, "That base is in a desert in the middle of the continent, the Land of Chaos!"

The name of the Chaos Lands is not unfamiliar, it is a zone that is not under the jurisdiction of any country, and the ecological environment is extremely harsh, because it is home to all kinds of criminals, mercenaries, and scavengers. It was a real place outside the law, where there was no order at all, where power was the only law of survival.

"What are you going to do, that place is not under the jurisdiction of the HPI organization. Vera reminded Lo that the HPI was dedicated to studying and controlling the occult events of the countries that had joined the Continent of Is, and that it had no authority to set foot in a chaotic area like this.

"I'll have a good talk with Chief Zhu Lan!" Luo replied to Vera's question, "Thank you Vera, you can leave this matter alone." ”

"I'm not going to hold you back any longer!" Vera thought that Lo was belittling her, she had been promoted by one level after this mission, and she would definitely be angry if Lo was still looking down on her at such a rate of growth.

Luo sighed helplessly, "Vera, I just don't want anyone to get involved, to be honest, I'm not sure to fight against this legion myself." Lowe said with a pause, "But I have a reason to go, but you don't." ”

"Since you're not sure, let us help you. Vera's tone softened, and she felt a little guilty, "Don't do everything by yourself." With that, Vera put the diary on the table next to his bed, pushed the door open and walked out.

Luo stared at the diary for a long time before opening it and reading it carefully.

In the interrogation room of the headquarters, the man in the top hat of the boss of the Black Fire Underground Fighting Arena is being interrogated by the commissioner with his hands handcuffed.
