I'm not a theatre god

"This, how is this possible?"

Brother Guo's eyes widened. At this moment, the wounds on his body seemed to no longer hurt.

So many shops were frightened into closing, and then they carefully handed out "protection money"... Is this actually the case?

Endless confusion surged into his mind. Brother Guo suddenly felt like he had been tricked. The same was true for the other two law enforcers. They stood there like two dried sculptures.

"Zuo Tong, Guo Nan." Han Meng glanced at the two of them with cold eyes, "Is this what you said... wantonly amassing money?"

"This...shouldn't be right??"

"Chief Han Meng, there must be a misunderstanding here..." Brother Guo gritted his teeth and forced himself to say this.

Brother Guo's thoughts were completely confused... He couldn't understand why the shops on that street had such a big fight just to give these things to Chen Ling?

Who is a good person who takes so much animal heart as protection money?

Won't you get angry when you eat it? !

"But, he did hurt people first!" Brother Guo changed the topic and reluctantly spoke again, "I didn't say a word to him, and he stabbed me with a knife... He is a madman!"

Han Meng turned to look at Chen Ling, "What about you, do you have anything to say?"

"He insulted the residents in my jurisdiction. I was just enforcing the law impartially and acting in self-defense."

"You call this self-defense? I've already..."

"I can prove that Chief Chen Ling was indeed acting in self-defense." The old man who had stood up before spoke immediately.

"I can prove it too."

"I can too……"

More and more people were testifying for Chen Ling. Han Meng glanced coldly at Brother Guo. The latter was about to defend himself, but in the end he didn't speak... He just stared at Chen Ling resentfully.

Chen Ling didn't care about Brother Guo's gaze. To him, it was no different than the glare from a dung beetle passing by on the street.

At this moment, Han Meng took out a document from his arms and handed it to Chen Ling.

"What is this?" Chen Ling asked.

"Your letter of appointment." Han Meng's voice sounded calmly, "Originally, I was going to go directly to your place to give it to you...but I heard that you were here, so I stopped by;

Aurora City has appointed you as the law enforcement officer of the third district. From today on, you will be directly under my jurisdiction... At the same time, you have the authority to manage all the law enforcement officers of the third district. "

Everyone was stunned.

The resentment in Brother Guo's eyes first turned into shock, then disbelief... When he saw Chen Ling taking the appointment letter expressionlessly, his face was only dull.

In his mind, he suddenly recalled the terrifying speed and power when Chen Ling kicked him away just now, and his face became extremely ugly.

He just finished offending Chen Ling, and she was promoted to law enforcement officer? ?

Except for Han Meng, no one knew that Chen Ling had embarked on the Bingshen Dao, and he himself had no intention of publicizing it. If it were the law enforcers who had embarked on the Bingshen Dao in the past, they could not help but spread the word and recruit party members as soon as they came back. .

Chen Ling glanced at the appointment letter and turned to ask Han Meng, "Where are my clothes?"

"It's the trench coat you're wearing...the law enforcer's uniform is too ugly."

"..." Han Meng gave him a strange look, turned around and walked out, "Follow me to get it."

As Chen Ling and Han Meng left side by side, the market fell into a dead silence again. Brother Guo stared blankly at Chen Ling's leaving figure, his heart falling to the bottom...

…

"Old plot." Chen Ling sighed.

"What?"

"...It's nothing, I just said it casually."

Chen Ling glanced at the expectations of the audience on the snow. Since entering the vegetable market, the expectations have increased by 9%... 7% of which were obtained the moment the bag was opened, and the remaining 2% were given later. At the time of appointment letter.

If Chen Ling could have known about this episode in advance, he would have had the confidence to do something to double the audience's expectations. Unfortunately, everything happened too suddenly... But when walking on the road, it's quite cool to have expectations delivered to your doorstep. Not bad.

It would be great if there were more people like Guo Nan.

"You clearly know that there is a phenomenon of collecting protection fees among law enforcement officers, why don't you ignore it?" Chen Ling asked the doubt that had been in his mind for a long time.

"Care? How to care?" Han Meng shook his head, "After I was promoted to law enforcement officer, I also tried to solve this problem, but it was simply not feasible..."

"Even if the terms of the order are fixed, it won't work?"

"You don't understand that the source of all this lies not with the law enforcers, but with the residents themselves." Han Meng said slowly, "The people here have been enslaved for too long. For more than a hundred years, they have relied on their superiors for help. Money, being protected by law enforcers, and making a stable living... This is how their parents and ancestors came here.

Even if you tell them that they don’t have to make sacrifices from now on, they will feel uneasy. It’s not that easy to change the imprisoned thoughts of a generation and get rid of their inner weakness and inferiority..."

Chen Ling was silent for a long time, recalling the day she first became a law enforcer, and nodded slightly.

Chen Ling followed Han Meng to the law enforcement headquarters in District 3. The latter took out a windbreaker with a silver pattern from the cabinet for him and placed it neatly on the table.

"This is yours."

Chen Ling put on the black windbreaker. The size fit him perfectly. When he looked at himself in the mirror, his temperament became much calmer...

"The classification of law enforcement officers is based on the patterns on the hem of the windbreaker. What level of strength you have is how many patterns you have as a law enforcement officer. Every time you are promoted, you must report to Aurora City, and the corresponding patterns will be sent to you as soon as possible. clothes.”

"Who is the tallest law enforcement officer in the Aurora Realm now?" Chen Ling asked.

"Eight lines, and there are only two of them."

"so little?"

"Do you think it's easy to advance to the Eighth Pattern?" Han Meng glanced at him, "There are not many strong Eighth Patterns in the entire human world, and each of them can destroy the entire Third District with just a wave of his hand...

The two eight-marked law enforcement officers have been strong men in the Aurora Realm for hundreds of years. "

"Isn't there even a nine-mark law enforcement officer in the Aurora Realm?"

"There are no Nine Mark Law Enforcers."

Han Meng paused for a moment, "But, there is a ninth-level..."

Chen Ling was stunned for a moment, and then understood what Han Meng meant... There is a ninth-level person in Aurora City, but that person is not in the law enforcement system.

"Isn't he from the Bingshen Dao?" Chen Ling asked tentatively.

"No, that person does not belong to any Shinto..."

"Doesn't belong to any Shinto?" Chen Ling asked in confusion, "Can he advance to the ninth level without Shinto? How did he do it?"

"That person's situation is very complicated... You just need to know that he does not belong to any path, but he can have extremely powerful authority. Even the Aurora Realm we are in exists because of him."

Hearing the last sentence, Chen Ling's eyes showed shock.

A realm exists because of one person?

"who is he?"

Han Meng paused for a moment and slowly said a name:

"Aurora-kun."
