When Humphrey was twenty-one years old, he had joined the central command.
This was a job that everyone envied.
The central command was the uncrowned king of Nuo Jin. In other words, they had always been royalty, but they had hidden the crown. The upper echelons were made up of eleven people of high status, and they managed Nuo Jin almost vertically.
They allowed other Extraordinaire organisations to emerge, such as the Secret Ritual Tower and the Truth Society, but they had to obey the central command.
They also allowed mortal organisations to emerge, such as Rolle Resources. However, everyone knew that Rolle Resources used to be the army of the former kingdom, and were the lackeys of those nobles.
Therefore, being able to work in the central command was the true "iron rice bowl of Nuo Jin".
Every citizen of Nuo Jin was managed by the central command from the moment of their birth, and this was something that was carved into their bones.
Their management was not cruel, and no one had ever objected to it. This was because they had many Extraordinaires and Extraordinaires, and they controlled and protected the lifeline of Nuo Jin.
Humphrey was born in an ordinary family, and his family was not well known. However, he was still much stronger than most commoners, and at the same time, he did not have the talent to become an Extraordinaire. People like him formed the bottom rung of society in the central command.
However, Humphrey was very lucky. One day, he witnessed an Extraordinaire and became an Extraordinaire. This was the bloodline of his family, but it had not appeared for a long time.
He naturally received training from the central command, and unexpectedly discovered the ability to detect and counter detection, and became a light Magus. Remember this: http://m.9biquge.com
Hence, he became a supervisor.
He concealed his identity and roamed the entire Nuo Jin. His main mission was to use different identities to investigate any rebellious actions that could threaten Nuo Jin's peace and the central command's rule.
Ji Zhixu's auction this time was an operation with many hidden dangers, especially since it involved the bookstore.
As a member of a hidden organization in the central government, Humphrey naturally knew about the existence of the bookstore. However, the central government had always ignored the bookstore. This person had clearly turned Nuo Jin upside down. It wasn't as simple as breaking the ground on the central government's head. It was as if he had set fire to the central government, so much so that the central government's hair had all gone bald.
Humphrey had always been puzzled as to why the Central Command was so laissez-faire. But today, he finally understood.
Boss Lin was an absolutely great and unimaginable existence!
Just as Ji Bonong had said, everyone had received Boss Lin's favor this time. After the meeting was over, no one could be more envious of Lin Luoran, who had received Boss Lin's book.
He felt as if he had reached the pinnacle of life and reached the side of God. It was as if he had been illuminated by the holy light.
Humphrey didn't know why, but when the book was placed on the table, he suddenly felt a tiny bit of faith.
My biggest goal in life is to get this book.
Thus, he stubbornly stood up and said the greatest sentence of his life, "I want that book."
The auction had already ended. Humphrey held the book in his arms. The unusually calm book cover had these words written on it:
"The Dream of Chaos."
This was a book written by Boss Lin himself. Perhaps it was narrating a boundless dream in detail.
He held the book in his arms. As a supervisor, he rarely walked on the streets so openly. In fact, he had been assigned the task of supervising the auction and obtaining at least one of Boss Lin's books.
However, the owner of each book had already been decided by Boss Lin. It was simply a fantasy to obtain the book.
But he got it.
But his goal had also changed. Now that he no longer worked for the Central Command, he wanted to go out more because he, who held Boss Lin's book, was the messenger of God's prophecy.
Perhaps he should go to the slums where the poor lived, to the cold and numb capital factory, to the bottomless Lower City District where he could continuously pass on Boss Lin's prophecy.
"You, the thing in your hands?! Who are you? "
Suddenly, a man with an unfamiliar accent shouted from behind Humphrey.
Cumberland stopped in his tracks and turned around. He saw a muscular man wrapped in a black cloak from head to toe.
The man in black's black hood covered his entire face. Even the boots on his feet were pure black. His pure black robe seemed to be able to absorb the surrounding light. Even if he raised his head, his face could not be seen clearly. It was as if he was a walking cloak.
Humphrey frowned in thought. He was sure that he had never seen this person before. But now, his structure had reached an unprecedented height. No matter how cruel and merciless a person was, he could extradite them.
Thus, he kindly said, "Hello, I am just like you. We are both created by Mr. Lin in this world. My name is Humphrey. Please allow me to pass on to you our Heavenly Father and creator, Mr. Lin …"
"I smell an extremely powerful and familiar scent on you." The man in the black robe immediately interrupted his chatter and said, "What is … Mr. Lin?"
"He is the creator of this world and also our savior." After saying that, Cumberland took out a book and gently flipped through it.
The moment the man in the black robe saw the book, his eyes that were tightly covered under the hood seemed to be about to pop out. His beast-like dark golden eyes flashed past — he clearly saw the words written on the book:
— 'Dream of Chaos'.
"…" The book with the black cover was like a deep black hole that kept staring at the man in the black robe.
"Chaos sleeps in chaos, there is no distinction between you and me …" Cumberland actually opened the book and began to read the contents inside.
He was crazy! He was actually reading that book! …
The man in the black robe was shocked. But then, he seemed to understand. No, he was crazy!
The words that were being read did not flow into Humphrey's crazy ears. Instead, it was like some kind of electric current that drilled into the man in the black robe's brain.
Humphrey raised his head and saw the man in the black robe begin to tremble and make painful sounds. His originally strong body began to gradually bend. As the contents of the book were revealed, he began to suffer. And the pain kept multiplying. He twisted like a shrimp.
This was salvation!
"This process may be very painful, but after listening to Mr. Lin's teachings, you will feel as if you have been reborn." Humphrey looked at the man in the black robe who was in extreme pain. His hands in black leather gloves scratched the floor, and he could not help but laugh.
The man in the black robe kept twitching. Then, he suddenly lost his vitality.
Humphrey put down the book. As he walked towards the man in the black robe, he said, "Your pain is a new life … Hmm?"
Just as he squatted down to check on the man in the black robe, he saw him twitch again. And the mouth under the black hood began to read in a hoarse voice.
"The beginning of all beginnings, the master of all things, the prototype of all chaos and order. Everything in front of you is just a dream. Quickly wake up, but don't wake up. In your eyes …"
Humphrey opened his eyes wide. He lowered his head to look at the book in his hand. The man in the black robe was reading the contents of the book.
"How did you know the contents of the book? Humphrey was extremely shocked … How did he know? He was the one who was chosen by Mr. Lin. But how did he understand it so quickly?
The man in the black robe supported himself on the floor. He was in so much pain that it was as if his entire body had been run over by a truck. He slowly got up and then slowly lifted his hood in front of Humphrey.
An indescribably ugly face was revealed.
"Why … Of course, it's because you false believers are just fools who blindly follow."
The man in the black robe's skin was covered with snake-like scales. His jaw was covered with countless tentacles that looked like an octopus. Below each tentacle was a circular sucker. His hair was extremely sparse, with only a few strands of fluttering white hair.
"You, you, you, you, you …?!" Humphrey's original madness and calmness was awakened by this extremely shocking scene. He was shocked by the man in the black robe. He hugged the book and sat down on the floor.
That terrifying appearance was not something that a human could possess.
It was ancient and terrifying, sinister and ugly.
Only … the higher-ups of Nuo Jin knew about it. Only the residents of downtown had such an appearance!
The man in the black robe slowly took off his gloves, revealing a hand that was also covered with scales. His thick fingers and sharp nails were like the claws of a crocodile.
"What are you … Ahhhhhh!!" Before Humphrey could finish speaking, the man in the black robe's right hand immediately turned into a green-gray afterimage. He clasped Cumberland's neck. His thumb moved, as if piercing through window paper, his finger pierced Cumberland's Adam's apple.
Fresh blood spurted out. Humphrey struggled like an animal.
"Thank you." The man in the black robe said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you for bringing my Lord's oracle to my side. Please die peacefully and accompany him to sleep."
"May my Lord's dream be safe and sound." The man in the black robe prayed faintly. When he spoke, one could clearly see that his tongue was forked like a snake.
The man in the black robe flung Humphrey's body away. He shook off the dirty blood on his hand and took the book from Humphrey's hand.
"The Dream of Chaos."
When he saw the book, he raised his head and saw a black shadow on the wall in the deepest part of this deserted alley.
"Pa!" The moment he saw the black shadow, the man in the black robe immediately knelt on the ground. His whole body trembled. His pair of turbid beast eyes seemed to be so emotional that they were about to cry. He pressed the book against his forehead. Tears fell from his eyes. His voice trembled as he said, "Thank you for your guidance, my great Lord. You guided me from downtown to here. We will welcome your return in the Promised Land."
The black shadow seemed to nod, but also seemed to do nothing. He stood in the place where the light and shadow intersected and disappeared the moment the street lights lit up.
