After saying goodbye to Oriana for a while, Chen Lun found a corner where no one paid attention, returned to the dark world, and then turned back from there along the way, returning to the surface of the present world.

Intramuroline Kloster.

It was late at night, the purple moon was hanging high, and the Imperial Inquisition residence building was standing in the night.

Chen Lun changed back into a black hat dress, came to the door with a silver cane, showed his identity nameplate to the two guards hidden in the dark, and walked in unimpeded.

Even though it was late at night, there were still many people moving in the trial team's residence, Chen Lun lowered the brim of his hat, walked straight to the front desk of the hall, and applied for a rest room for a staff member.

"Mr. Jakespet, this is the key to room 415, and I wish you a good rest."

The young woman in the yellow and white uniform handed over a key and said respectfully to him.

"Thank you."

After Chen Lun took it, he didn't stay long, turned around and went upstairs.

Because Matthew's land was at the opposite time of the day, he had to wait until after dawn to gather the members of the investigation team. Although he had slept in the root settlement, Chen Lun still felt a little tired, and he guessed that it might have something to do with the underground environment.

Especially the ball of light called Mother Red.

The light it emitted always made Chen Lun feel uncomfortable.

So he fell asleep again in the lounge of the jury building.

Early the next morning.

The team members who received the captain's summons gathered in advance at the cafeteria on the second floor.

"Captain!"

"Good morning, Captain."

Rahne, Xibei and the others had already prepared the meal, sat around the table, and when they saw Chen Lun approaching, they hurriedly got up to say hello.

"Good morning."

Chen Lun responded with his head bowed.

After a night's rest, he felt his mental state return.

Seeing that he didn't have a plate in his hand, Rahn offered to help him get the food, but Chen Lun didn't refuse, and thanked him with a smile.

"Captain Jack, I heard that the investigation team 5 has died in the dark world...... The whole team of eleven people, including the captain, all died in the line of duty. ”

Wells hesitated for a moment and said in a deep voice.

Chen Lun was slightly stunned, and he immediately noticed that the faces of the others were very solemn, knowing that this matter was not a lie.

"This investigation is not simple, the dark world is full of dangers, if it weren't for Captain Jack's repeated actions, we wouldn't have been able to have zero casualties......"

Federica's voice came from under the black veil on her face.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Captain, I helped you get toast, meatballs and salad, and the drink was hot milk, I don't know if you like it or not......"

Rahn came back with a plate and asked Chen Lun.

"Yes, thank you."

Chen Lun took it with a smile and immediately sat him down.

Rahn picked up the fork and continued his meal, looked up and said:

"Captain, we've had a day off, when will we continue the action?"

The rest of the team also cast their eyes.

Although they had heard that many of the squads had suffered heavy losses, and based on their own experiences in the dark world, they knew that it was quite dangerous, but everyone was eager to participate in the action and complete the mission.

"Let's go after noon."

Chen Lun looked at their longing eyes, took a bite of bread, thought about it, and said slowly.

The team members smiled.

"The captain, Hamilton's second group, as well as the fourth and seventh groups, were temporarily suspended due to excessive losses...... At present, the progress of our first team is the fastest, it has advanced to the depths of the dark world, and the information about that bronze door is the only one of all the investigation teams, and even refreshed the record of the first phase of the investigation operation......"

Rahn said excitedly.

"Chief McCollin praised us for this, and said that His Majesty was quite satisfied when he learned of the situation."

Chen Lun nodded.

"We have lived up to the Empire's expectations, but we still need to continue to work hard to investigate the root cause of the turmoil in the spiritual world as soon as possible."

"Yes! Captain! ”

The team members responded with serious expressions.

Just after twelve o'clock in the afternoon.

Chen Lun took the members of the investigation team and entered the spirit world.

After each of them took the "Potion of True Vision" and went straight to the dark world, he asked everyone to hold hands and stand in a circle. Instantly, he placed his hand on Rahn's shoulder and unleashed the Sequence Leap.

Sou!

Everyone suddenly felt a sense of space pulling, and when Rahn relented and released a small ball of light to illuminate, everyone saw the huge bronze gate not far away.

In an instant, they crossed the long distance and returned directly to the place where they had been.

"The spatial transfer ability of the Destiny Path, it's really convenient ......"

Everyone was secretly speechless, and their eyes at the captain became more and more admiring.

"Let's go, let's go to the next dimension of the dark world."

Chen Lun said softly, and strode towards the bronze giant gate.

The team members agreed and followed in his footsteps.

The dark mist continued to seep out of the door, floating in mid-air, Chen Lun held his breath and condensed, and directly took the lead into it.

Wow!

The next second everyone walked behind the door.

Looking back, the bronze gate still stands behind it, but the terrain around it seems to have changed somewhat.

The second layer of the dark world was also pitch black, and the feeling of depression and suffocation was even worse. The ball of light released by Rahn seemed to be compressed by an invisible force, and the range of the light was far less than half that of the previous layer.

Chen Lun carried a silver cane, briefly did a divination, confirmed the direction of progress, and beckoned everyone to start moving.

This time, they spent a full week in the dark world.

During this week, the investigation team, led by Chen Lun, continued to explore deeper, during which two huge bronze doors were discovered one after another.

They were identical in size, even the patterns on the door frames were identical, the only difference was in some bizarre graphics, but none of the team members could see what the meaning was.

As the team progressed, the team encountered the Deedak Bugs more and more frequently, and even attacked every half hour.

Fortunately, Chen Lun was able to detect it in advance every time, and blocked it with the strength of crushing, so that the team could escape repeatedly. But even so, the seven team members fell into a state of physical and mental exhaustion again.

The main thing is to be in a deep dark environment, which requires constant vigilance, which is quite exhausting. At the end of the week, even if the team members were all Sequence 5 transcendentals, they had almost reached their limit.

The fourth layer of the dark world.

More than a dozen fist-sized clusters of light floated around everyone, and it was only then that the environment could be slightly outlined. Everyone was standing on the edge of a "cliff" at the moment, because the earth in front of them was cut off, leaving only a bottomless abyss, and no light could shine further away, and no one knew what was going on.

"Captain, what should I do next, it seems that I can't get over here......"

Rahn bothered out sleepy and tired, and whispered.

"It's such weird terrain again, but compared to the previous times, this time there is no way out...... Even if a few of us were capable of flying, we didn't know anything about what was ahead, and it was too risky to fly over. ”

Wells said in a deep voice.

Everyone looked at Chen Lun, wanting to see the captain's decision.

In fact, they are also quite emotional, this week, everyone has experienced dozens or hundreds of insect attacks, and there are several times in the face of treacherous terrain, all through everyone's hard thinking and attempts, they finally overcame and came here.

Captain Jack's decisions are just right every time, and he has gradually become the most indispensable core in the hearts of the players. It can even be said that without him, everyone would have died several times in the dark world.

Chen Lun didn't answer, just stared quietly at the darkness ahead.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered what Mr. Biles had written in the Codex.

'Mr. Byers seems to have just come here in the first place, and then returned to the present world, ending his journey to the Dark World......

Chen Lun also hesitated.

Even if he passed through the [Five Senses], he could not see the specific scene in front of him, and that darkness could even obscure all his senses...... Only his spiritual intuition told him that he must not enter the front, otherwise he would surely die.

But Chen Lun was a little unwilling.

I led the team to explore the dark world for so long, and all my efforts should not be in vain......

"Let's go back for now."

After a while, he sighed.

"Everyone is tired too...... Rahn, drop the spare 'Spirit Anchor' here, leave the coordinates, and take advantage of the rest to find some information and clues after going back, and see what can be done. ”

Everyone first looked at each other, and then nodded solemnly.

It seems that even the captain has nothing to do......

After returning to the present world.

The investigation team soon heard some of the latest news in the Imperial Inquisition building.

After the fourth group finished replenishing its manpower and re-entered the dark world, it followed in the footsteps of the fifth group and was almost wiped out...... Only one young male member escaped with serious injuries.

However, this person's mental state is not good, and it can even be said that he is on the verge of collapse, and the interrogators have no effective information from his mouth at all.

Subsequently, Judge Dalral, who was in charge of the group, deployed a "trauma team" to provide closed treatment. The team belongs to one of the logistics departments of the Inquisition, and they all belong to the Stars faction Transcendentals, and they are good at spiritual healing.

But even so, the lucky man still did not get better, and even his condition deteriorated rapidly.

Within a few days, it suddenly lost control and turned into a polluted creature...... The jury immediately suppressed it, and the news came out.

The investigation team was sitting in the restaurant on the second floor at the moment, and their expressions were a little serious and dignified. The atmosphere in the entire restaurant was a little deadly, not only Chen Lun's table, but also the rest of the members of the jury who were present at the dinner were all silent, obviously affected by the setbacks of the investigation action team during this time.

"You have a good rest these days, Larne, and please present our progress and situation to Chief McCollin again, and try to ask her for some advice and help."

Chen Lun ate the sliced roast sausage and said slowly to Rahn.

The latter nodded hurriedly.

"Yes, I know, Captain."

Chen Lun snorted.

After that, everyone stopped communicating, and after eating quietly, they dispersed and returned to their lodgings to rest.

Chen Lun also called Golov and drove him back to the church district in a carriage.

"Commander, you look a little tired, is the Empire's mission in trouble?"

After getting out of the carriage, Golov, who was good at observing words and feelings, asked in a low voice.

Chen Lun nodded, and then smiled again:

"Sort of...... But no problem, don't worry. ”

"I'm sure nothing can stump you, Commander...... If you need anything, you can always call me, as well as the rest of the circus, and we will go out of our way to help you. ”

Golov said seriously.

Chen Lun's mood suddenly improved a lot, and he patted Golov's shoulder with relief.

"Thank you."

After half a month, the circus cadres were very happy when they returned to the Kang Yi church area.

That night, Floyin cooked a table of dishes with her own hands, which made Chen Lun feel the comfort and warmth that he had not seen for a long time. At the dinner table, after a brief inquiry, he learned that the development of the church was smooth and smooth, and that Frey Arkbing and others had played the role of priests very well, and were deeply supported by the believers in the royal city.

Maggie and Connie have also been working hard to research and learn, and each cadre has their own goals and is full of energy.

Change source app, view the latest chapters of the book on multiple sites at the same time. 】

The reputation of the church is getting better and better, and Chen Lun is very satisfied with it.

Late at night.

Chen Lun fell asleep in his apartment, and when he was half asleep, he suddenly felt that he had come to a dark space, as if he was in a dark world, and he couldn't see his fingers around him.

He realized that it was his dream.

Perhaps it was because he had been exploring the dark world for a long time that his dreams were affected, and the dark and deep environment was restored in his dreams.

A light suddenly shone down, like a spotlight on the stage.

A blonde man in a black and white striped suit appeared in front of him.

"Philip?!"

Chen Lun's consciousness suddenly became clear, he looked at the man who came with a smile and blurted out.

"I'm sorry, Jack, to meet you in this format."

Philip took off his hat, revealing his familiar big back, and bowed slightly to Chen Lun.

"I received your prayers before, but I can't answer them due to my dreams...... Luckily, Lady Sigh has recently left the Sleeping Door for a short time at this time, so I can take the opportunity to contact you. ”

Chen Lun was surprised that Philip had come to his dream.

But he soon realized that this was an opportunity to ask the other side questions.

"Philip, I've had a problem lately, I wonder if you can solve it for me?"

"Oh, that's what I'm here for, if you need help, just mention it."

Philip shrugged and smiled.

"This is a rare opportunity, Jack, or the next time you see me, it will be hundreds of years away...... After all, Lady Sigh is a dutiful angel. ”

She said half mockingly, half jokingly.

Chen Lun took a deep breath and told the other party about his recent situation, and said that when he was investigating the source of the turmoil in the spirit world for the empire, he was blocked in front of the fault in the fourth layer of the dark world.

Philip listened with a smile on his face, then raised an eyebrow.

"Contamination of the spiritual world? I do know something...... Its source is actually the ancient god 'Father of Darkness' Distak, whose location is at the end of the seventh layer of space in the dark world. ”
