I've Become the King of Villains in the Game

"So... so powerful!"

Rebecca exclaimed in shock.

Next to her, Gabriella also widened her eyes.

Both girls had not expected that the owner of the "Witch's House" would actually know how to practice "magic"!

Professor Molimer looked very surprised, but quickly returned to normal, with only a deep look in his eyes that left one wondering what he was thinking.

Chen Lun snickered to himself.

It was no wonder Fin had kicked an iron plate, as no one would have thought that a mere puddle could conceal a massive shark. This Sequence Eight "Navigator" had encountered a "shipwreck."

However, Chen Lun could tell that, like himself, Rosa was not keen on killing her opponent. Fin was at worst only injured and made to suffer a bit. Clearly, this powerful figure, who hid away here, did not want to cause too much commotion.

Rosa suddenly furrowed her eyebrows.

She glanced at everyone and pointed towards the door.

"You can go now, my shop is closed."

Professor Molimer nodded towards her, tipped his hat, and was the first to leave.

Since the other party had issued an eviction notice, Chen Lun did not dare to linger. He left the shop with Rebecca and her friend.

Yet before departing, he noticed that Rosa gave him a deep look.

Bang!

The dilapidated shop door closed tightly, and the hanging lamp went out in turn.

Chen Lun had not had the chance to comment on Rosa's swift closing when he realized Professor Molimer had vanished without a trace. Meanwhile, downstairs, Fin and her subordinates were eyeing the market entrance as if facing a great enemy.

"Block the exits! Let no one escape!"

A man in a high-collared trench coat commanded coldly.

Dozens of Investigators streamed in, took up positions in an orderly fashion, and began controlling the crowd in the marketplace. Some of them also entered the shops on both sides, either questioning or arresting people.

"The Shelter..." Chen Lun thought to himself.

At that moment, a short-haired woman standing beside the man in the trench coat suddenly turned her gaze towards Chen Lun and his group.

Her eyes shimmered with a faint purple light, and her profound gaze seemed like it could see through one's heart.

[You are being watched by "Spirit Vision"! Your information is being probed!]

The sapphire earrings on Chen Lun's ears suddenly glowed briefly, and the next second—

[Judgment effective, probe immunity granted for this instance!]

The short-haired woman glanced over the two noble young ladies, Rebecca and Gabriella, and then over the dark-haired young man next to them, without lingering.

Her gaze finally settled on Fin.

"[Deep Sea Faction] [Sequence Eight-Navigator]... A special agent of Roderick, there's no doubt it's her!" she declared confidently.

The man named as Roderick unbuttoned his coat and strode forward, accompanied by four Investigators wielding repeating flintlock guns.

"Whitley, codename 'Fin,' dock gang leader, rogue Transcendent... guilty of violating twenty-three laws, sentenced to death as per the 'Sun Codex' and 'Containment Regulations,'" he explained calmly as the other four Investigators raised their guns.

"Damn it! The Shelter!!" Fin roared, and with a blast, mist erupted from her body and her hands were covered in electrical arcs.

With a stomp, she shot out like a cannonball, lunging straight at the special agent Roderick.

"Quiet..." Roderick said softly, as he lifted his hand and released a black light.

In the next second, Fin was frozen in mid-air, her eyes wide open but unable to move.

A black wave of light burst forth from Roderick's palm, piercing straight through Fin's chest.

Boom!!

Fin spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backwards.

After tumbling some distance, she bit her lip, struggled to stand, and took out an umbrella from her tattered backpack.

Whoosh!

She opened the umbrella and pointed it at the people from the Shelter, pulling the trigger.

Hiss—Bang!!

A golf-ball-sized flame bullet shot out, tracing an orange arc as it landed amidst the Investigators.

With a loud explosion, the flame bullet detonated into a sea of fire.

The Investigators were engulfed in flames, wailing in agony.

"Just as effective as I thought..." Fin spat out a mouthful of bloody spit and snorted coldly.

But before she could relish in triumph, Roderick took out a bottle of black liquid and casually tossed it into the flames.

The glass bottle shattered, the black liquid splashed out like ink, dousing the flames instantly—the wounds of the burning Investigators healed immediately upon contact with the black substance.

"!!"

Fin's eyes widened in shock.

```

Bang bang bang bang!!

A barrage of gunfire erupted, with flashes of light and bullets pouring down like rain.

Fin wanted to escape, but Roderick had anticipated this and aimed his hand glowing with dark light at her.

"When the soul yearns for slumber, how dare the shell stir?"

"No!!"

Fin stood still, unable to control her body, taking the full brunt of the gunfire.

Countless bullets struck her, blossoming into sprays of blood.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

With a thud, Fin collapsed to the ground.

Gasping for air like a dead fish and lying in a pool of blood, the supernatural power of Sequence Eight sustained her, preventing her from dying too easily.

The short-haired woman stepped forward, sighing softly.

"I've investigated you, Whitley. You come from a poor background, went to sea to support your family, and you're also a fortunate one with exceptional chances... Yet, you shouldn't have abused your powers as a Transcendent."

In her hand was a revolver, aimed at Fin's head.

"I'm sorry, I am your Executioner, Mona."

——Bang!!

Chen Lun stepped forward, blocking Rebecca's view to shield her from the gory scene.

Rebecca hid behind Chen Lun, clutching tightly to the corner of his clothes. Gabriella pretended to be brave but found her hand trembling slightly and breaking out in cold sweat.

Roderick waved his hand and a black shadow flew out from Fin's body. He captured it into the palm of his hand.

"Well done, Mona."

He praised calmly.

"But next time, spare the talk. When dealing with scum that endangers the Empire's stability, just kill them outright."

Short-haired Investigator Mona bowed slightly, without responding.

Roderick waved his hand again and his subordinates quickly disposed of the body and collected Fin's umbrella. The black-clad lackeys of the Dock Gang had also been killed in the chaotic fight, with their bodies dealt with together.

Mona raised her head and looked toward Chen Lun and the others.

Chen Lun watched Mona approach from a distance.

"Another familiar character..."

He thought to himself.

The famous official character from the previous world's version 1.0 public test, Mona.

She held a high position as a Mortal, eventually serving as a special envoy to the Shelter. Every wild Transcendent and even players who underestimated her were severely chastised by her.

It proved the might of a Mortal.

The law of the Mystic Realm—"Only the Supernatural can defeat the Supernatural"—had been broken by Mona countless times.

"Good evening to the three of you. I am Investigator Mona. I hereby inform you not to spread word of what you've seen tonight, or we will pay you a visit. Also, it's best not to come to places like this in the future..."

Mona presented her identification.

"This area is now sealed. The Shelter will take over. Please leave immediately...

Last, may the Moonlight Granny watch over you."

After she finished speaking and bowed, she turned and left.

Chen Lun watched her retreating figure and suddenly felt a familiarity. His thoughts quickly turned to that night when he accidentally intruded on a secret society at the ruins of Pompey Manor.

"She's 'Spirit Cat'...!"

Chen Lun confirmed in his heart.

What was going on today? Encountering so many people from the Mystic Realm in a single night. The thought crossed his mind—could that leading man also be...?

Zooming his gaze to the trench-coat man leading the group, he took another look at his wrist.

A string of bells faintly revealed themselves beneath his sleeve.

"'Black Skull'...?!"

Chen Lun was startled.

The head of the secret society turned out to be a special envoy from the Shelter! One of the members, "Spirit Cat", was also a spy planted inside!

What were they trying to do...?

An idiom flashed through Chen Lun's mind—

Catch them all in one swoop!

The Shelter was fishing!

The special envoy had set a trap, gathering all of Amber City's wild Transcendents together, and would eventually strike with thunderous force to suppress them one by one!

The capture of Fin today was the best proof.

"I shouldn't go to society gatherings anymore... It's too dangerous..."

Anxiety flashed through Chen Lun's emotions.

But then he realized something was off about himself.

"Why am I so afraid... Right, it's the side effect of 'Maggie's Tear' when the protection is triggered..."

He came to an understanding.

His emotions had become overly sensitive at that moment.
