I Contracted All Ancient Divine Artifacts-Chapter 391 - 290: Blessed Society
Stepping off the Ferris wheel.
Xia Youwei’s face beamed with a happy smile that would surely last for a long time.
On her ring finger was a dazzling ring.
The two of them held hands, intending to continue with the next amusement park attraction.
Han Zhan suddenly saw a fleeting figure in the crowd that seemed familiar.
"What’s wrong?"
"I saw someone who looks familiar. Let me go and check."
After Han Zhan finished speaking, he weaved his way through the crowd.
Because of the many tourists, it took Han Zhan some effort to get through.
Not far ahead, a young man was holding a stack of flyers, handing them out to the surrounding tourists.
"Take a look, take a look."
"This is the latest Blessed Society event. Interested friends can take one to see."
"It’s free, no money needed, all free!"
"Hey miss, are you interested..."
Meng Xiaobei paused slightly while handing out flyers.
"You’re Meng Xiaobei, right? I’ve seen you before." Han Zhan had a bit of an impression of this young man.
Primarily because the other day he was looking for his fourth senior brother, Ye Qiu, and overheard their conversation.
One has to admit, attempting to trade a breakfast for an Origin of Killing, this young man named Meng Xiaobei had some ideas.
"Lord Han Zhan." Upon seeing Han Zhan standing beside Xia Youwei, Meng Xiaobei slightly bowed his head.
After greeting him, he continued to keep his head down, intending to turn and walk elsewhere.
"Wait." Han Zhan called out to him from behind.
Upon hearing Han Zhan’s voice, Meng Xiaobei suddenly halted his steps.
"Weren’t you handing out flyers? Why didn’t you give us one?"
"Oh, oh, oh." Meng Xiaobei hurriedly handed over a flyer, then quickened his pace to leave before Han Zhan could speak.
"This young man is really strange." Xia Youwei observed the scene and couldn’t help commenting.
Han Zhan was the new Great Xia Leader, a figure of faith for many people, and the idol of young people in North County.
Yet Meng Xiaobei’s demeanor seemed more like—"fear"?
"You noticed too? Indeed, his reaction was quite strange."
Someone who once tried to bribe Ye Qiu for an opportunity to take shortcuts appeared to avoid him when he approached voluntarily.
This inconsistency was quite puzzling.
Thinking about this, Han Zhan lowered his head to look at the flyer in his hand.
It was a thin piece of paper, palpably of poor quality.
At the top of the flyer were the large words "Blessed Society".
Following that was the content:
Good news, good news!
The latest gospel broadcast by Blessed Society, see below for the location.
See you tomorrow night at eight, don’t miss it!
"Is there something wrong with the flyer, Ah Zhan? Why is your brow furrowed so deeply?"
Xia Youwei watched as Han Zhan stared at the flyer with increasing concern and asked worriedly.
Han Zhan shook his head.
"I’m just sensitive to names with ’xx Society’. I hope I’m just overthinking it."
"Let’s go, it’s getting late, we should head back."
Xia Youwei obediently nodded at his words.
She was already quite satisfied with the rare alone time and the ring on her finger.
Being perceptive, she naturally knew that Han Zhan still had doubts about this matter, and he wouldn’t rest until he clarified it.
...
"Blessed Society?"
"I’ve heard of it. It’s a recently emerged civilian club. Is there something wrong?"
After returning home and explaining today’s events, Li Lingzhen and Shang Siteng both said they’d heard of it.
"There are quite a few such civilian clubs in North County. You might not know this, but Lingzhen is the president of the Love and Charity Association."
Shang Siteng said while pointing at Li Lingzhen, who was competing with Nuannuan for a donut.
"The Love and Charity Association is a civilian club dedicated to helping the wounded and providing extra support to the families and descendants of Combat Spirit Contract Masters." 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
"And for example, I founded the Knowledge Association. Bob recently joined this club. Our club mainly researches and discusses some unconventional issues."
"So, the Blessed Society is just one of many such clubs."
Even after hearing Shang Siteng’s words, Han Zhan’s suspicions weren’t entirely dispelled.
"If necessary, you could visit the location on the flyer to see what their gospel broadcast is all about, couldn’t you?"
"This is North County. With Second Senior Brother’s Heaven and Earth Array and Bob’s Celestial Net, good and evil in balance, nothing should go wrong."
"What do you mean by good and evil? Are you talking behind my back again!"
A voice rang out, followed by the virtual image of Little Dragon Man Bob rising from the floor.
Hands on his hips, he looked thoroughly indignant.
"Bob, you mustn’t abuse virtual reality technology to invade others’ homes, you’re violating the basic rules!"
"Stop, stop!"
Bob quickly raised his hand, making a gesture to halt.
"The basic rules also state exceptions for special circumstances, and I have a special circumstance now."
Bob said, pointing at Han Zhan.
"Me? What do you need me for?"
"Just now, thirty-five seconds ago, someone died in their apartment."
"Because he was a Celestial Net feature beta tester, from the moment of his death until his disappearance, the entire process was observed by me."
"Beta tester?"
"That’s someone who’s willingly testing some of the latest Celestial Net features. They’re mostly young people since they’re more open to new things. But those aren’t the main points!"
The main point is, someone died! Disappeared!
And it happened in North County.
Supposedly the safest place.
If not for Celestial Net’s latest beta feature, the "Seed of Life," which detected it immediately.
Everyone might simply have thought he left for elsewhere on business.
After all, no one would believe that anyone could commit murder right under the nose of Tier Nine Ultimate Powerhouse Lin Jingxuan and the Heaven and Earth Array!
"Does Second Senior Brother know about this?"
"I notified him as soon as it happened and sent him a recording."
With his ability to trace and restore scene images, who knows if he can find any clues in the reconstruction.
"Then what do you want with me?"
"Because I found a difficult-to-ignore intersection between the deceased’s schedule and your activities today."
As Bob spoke, a virtual light screen appeared behind him.
On it, a coordinate was continuously magnified.
Along with it, Han Zhan’s pupils locked onto the screen.
"This location is... Wangchuan City amusement park?!"
It was the amusement park he and Xia Youwei had visited earlier that day!
"Give me a panoramic view of the deceased’s home." Han Zhan hurried his words.
"According to the basic rules, I can’t..."
"Under special circumstances!"
The next second, an aerial view of the deceased’s home was fully displayed before Han Zhan.
He zoomed in, zoomed out, then zoomed back in again.
Finally, he found what he was looking for—
A flyer for the Blessed Society!
