Chapter 323 Chad

Whenever Ling Zhan thought that the new month after a major event would be a little calmer, reality would always ruthlessly give him a resounding slap in the face, making him realize how naive and ridiculous his thoughts were.

This morning, when he woke up as usual and watched the news on TV, a startling piece of news immediately caught his attention.

The report described a murder that occurred last night in New York.

As time went on, strange events seemed to increase, and the people of New York became accustomed to them, with some even able to remain calm in the face of a collapsing mountain.

Like the first person to discover the bodies in this incident, she was able to calmly take out her phone and call the police after seeing the two bodies at the scene, as if it were just an ordinary thing.

Police are already used to these kinds of incidents. Although some new officers may find it hard to accept when they see the horrific scene, they will gradually get used to it before long.

After all, those who cannot adapt to this work environment will either be reassigned or choose not to join the team.

As expected, when George led his team to the scene, he noticed that several young officers showed obvious discomfort after seeing the body.

However, as a seasoned police officer, George was already well aware of the situation.

He personally inspected the scene and found that the bodies of the two deceased were mutilated, as if they had suffered extremely cruel treatment.

Their arms and legs were missing, and the mutilation was strangely neat, as if it had been carefully cut.

What's even more eerie is that their pupils are completely white, as if they've lost the luster of life, becoming empty and lifeless.

According to reports, the time of death was 11 p.m. last night. The two victims died together, and the time of their deaths was close, suggesting that they were acquaintances and that the murderer acted on impulse.

However, further details about this incident will only be known after a thorough investigation by the police and a detailed autopsy report from the forensic pathologist.

For the others, they will need to conduct an investigation and obtain a forensic autopsy report.

However, Ling Zhan knew very well that such incidents would often end up being left unresolved.

After all, they are just ordinary people and have no idea how to deal with events related to superpowers.

Ling Zhan watched the live news report on TV, pondered for a moment, and decided not to get involved.

He had been involved in almost everything before, for two reasons: first, he was still a free man at the time and not bound by many restrictions; second, he felt that by putting in more effort, he might be able to reduce the dangers facing humanity.

Now that there's an organization, if someone does something outrageous in private, they might not be able to hide it without using props.

Moreover, the world seems to be gradually moving onto the path depicted in Marvel movies, where real and fake events are intertwined. If you get involved in everything, you'll not only waste your energy if you encounter a fake event, but you might even encounter unforeseen circumstances along the way, which would be a huge problem.

…………

Dog place.

"Greetings, Lady Dragon Girl."

Ling Zhan said respectfully.

He had originally planned to go to New York University, but was urgently summoned by Daenerys Targaryen halfway there.

Ling Zhan inwardly groaned. He had thought he would have some peace and quiet for a while, but he didn't expect to be called out to him so soon.

He doesn't want to become a "death god elementary school student" like a washing machine!

When he stepped into the barbarian's quarters, he immediately saw a person kneeling before the Dragon Girl.

The man's back looked somewhat familiar, but he couldn't quite place where he had seen him before.

“You’ve come at the right time, Ling Zhan. This is Chad. I think you’ve already met him.”

The dragon girl introduced herself with a smile.

"Chad?"

Ling Zhan tilted his head in confusion, trying hard to recall the name.

Just then, Chad slowly turned around, his gaze meeting Ling Zhan's.

Those were deep and sharp eyes, as if they could penetrate one's soul.

“Don’t you recognize me, Golden Knight?” Chad’s lips curled into a smile. “Young man.”

"It's you!"

The moment Ling Zhan saw Chad's appearance, he immediately remembered everything.

The second punishment, a severe one, could also be attributed to him.

(Of course, he was the one who broke the rules.)

"Heh, I remember now. I hope you won't make the same mistake again, after all, you are a Gold Knight!"

Looking at this young golden knight, Chad still didn't like him very much.

He couldn't understand how someone like him could become a Golden Knight. What puzzled him even more was how Ling Zhan had passed the trial. And what baffled him most was how a complete novice could so quickly acquire the relevant knowledge and skills!

However, no matter how many doubts and grievances Chad had, the fact remained that this young man was indeed a genuine Golden Knight, and to some extent, he had fulfilled the responsibilities that came with that title.

"Alright, you can catch up later."

Just then, the Dragon Girl suddenly interrupted their conversation.

Her gaze fell directly on Ling Zhan, and she continued, "Chad has come here with an important mission, and we need to do everything we can to help him complete it."

Upon hearing this, Ling Zhan frowned slightly, a sense of foreboding washing over him.

He keenly sensed a hint of danger and said in a deep voice, "It seems this is not an easy task."

"Is it possible..."

Zaruba seemed to be deep in thought, recalling Priest Rumi's attitude that day.

Without a doubt, this matter is not simply a matter of Ling Zhan violating the rules; it must be inextricably linked to that Ring Knight named Chad.

In addition, Chad came here today specifically to ask the dog kennels to assist him in investigating something.

It must be!

Ling Zhan put the cover down on Zaruba, afraid that it might say something inappropriate and cause trouble for itself.

The dragon girl looked at Chad and said, "You can explain it."

"Yes, Lady Dragon Girl."

Chad said, "The individual you killed in my territory before was a special individual that I discovered. I was ordered by Priest Rumi to investigate him. That guy was very cautious, and there was not much chance to catch him. Fortunately, we still found some clues. Then you killed him that day, which suddenly cut off our leads. However, after many hardships, we finally found out one of the individual's identities—the Magister Hora."

Upon hearing this, Ling Zhan's eyes immediately turned into dead fish eyes.

'This is a veiled criticism that I disrupted their rhythm; besides, we already knew what you were saying.'

Chad continued, "We later learned that a Magic Hora had been destroyed in New York. Based on the information I've received recently, we've identified a key member of the Magic Hora. Just in case, we need your local assistance."
