Through Hua Ling, Lin Yan had a clearer understanding of the Encircled Hunt.
Most of the time, the Encircled Hunt was targeted at some weak Natural People. Very few terrifying experts like Lin Yan triggered the Encircled Hunt.
This was because such powerful Natural People occupied a lot of power and authority in the entire society. They were at the top of society. Even if they did anything out of line, it would completely conform to the Puppet People’s social system. It would not affect the stability of the Puppet People’s society at all.
“Natural People who can grow to the Black Grade or even the Jade Grade are often able to reach that position step by step in the Puppet People’s society. They are protected by stronger Natural People, obey the rules, or have extremely good luck.
“It’s very difficult for Natural People like them to trigger the reaction of the Chaotic Fog because although they are Natural People, they are also a part of Puppet People society.
“As for those Natural People who didn’t abide by the rules and barged around, they were killed and eliminated by the Puppet People society long before they grew to the Noble Realm.”
Lin Yan understood. For example, if Liu Lanqing and Ling Shuangxue were in District B16 and killed a few people like him, nothing would happen. Even if they killed Old Master Qian, it would only cause higher pressure in the Puppet People society. There would be stronger Puppet People who would punish her according to the rules of society.
However, a powerhouse like him, who had suddenly appeared and was not in the Puppet People’s system at all, was like a heretic and mutant cell that had suddenly invaded the Puppet People’s society. Just a little bit of what he did that was out of line would cause the Puppet People’s society to reject and eliminate him.
“In that case, is there any way to eliminate this effect and undo the Encircled Hunt?”
Hua Ling smiled bitterly and said, “There are two ways. First, the threat is completely eliminated, and the Encircled Hunt will naturally be removed. Second, the threat disappears! For example, like you did before, you disappeared. After a while, if you can’t find the threat, the Encircled Hunt will be removed. However, this way…”
She didn’t continue, but Lin Yan knew that she was referring to him and Cheng Yu’er. Lin Yan could hide himself, but she and Cheng Yu’er couldn’t. They would be found sooner or later.
Lin Yan asked for more information about the Chaotic Fog and the Puppet People, and Hua Ling answered them one by one. She knew a lot of information, most of which Cheng Yu’er had never heard of.
“In our Sun Chasers Guild, there is a special intelligence department that collects, organizes, and strictly protects information. All this information of mine was summarized from the blood and tears of our predecessors.”
Lin Yan nodded and suddenly asked, “I remember you saying that the purpose of the Sun Chasers is to overthrow the rule of the Puppet People and eliminate all the Puppet People?”
Hua Ling’s heart skipped a beat. Indeed, he was at the side at that time.
Since he had heard it, Hua Ling could not hide it anymore. She said seriously, “Sun Chasers, Sun Chasers, chase after the Blazing Sun and Stars. Our goal is to dispel the Chaotic Fog and return the world to its former glory!”
“Are you guys active in Qianyuan Prefecture, or are you spreading your influence throughout Dafeng?”
Hua Ling:”…”
“You can’t tell me? Then… Can I join your organization?”
Hua Ling was silent for a moment before saying, “Our organization recruits new people. However, they are all at the Tough Realm, Strength Realm, or even ordinary people. Then, they will be nurtured by themselves.
“For example, people above the Noble Realm often have extremely complicated relationships in the Puppet People society. We won’t look for them.
“But for someone like you, Mr. Yan…
“I have to go back and report to the President before making a decision.”
What Hua Ling did not say was that Yan Sifang’s strength was too strange and terrifying!
She even felt that he was probably much stronger than her president!
If such a person really joined Sun Chasers… what position could he hold?
Lin Yan was just asking casually. After all, the Sun Chasers were all Natural People and had a lot of information. If he joined them, he might be able to find more secret information.
Just as he was about to say a few more words, suddenly, rustling footsteps came from outside the room, attracting the attention of the three of them.
Leaning against the window to take a look, the three of them focused their gazes. Unknowingly, a dense crowd had surrounded them from all directions!
These people walked in an extremely strange manner, as if they were puppets being pulled. They were as stiff as wooden men, but they walked towards Old Master Qian’s residence step by step.
The most terrifying thing was that these people’s eyes were wide open, and their pupils were extremely wide. Moreover, they didn’t blink at all, as if they wanted to tear apart the upper and lower eyelids.
They had already surrounded the entire Old Master Qian’s residence like a zombie tide, blocking all paths.
“These are all… Puppet People!”
Hua Ling said in a low voice, “The Dark Shadow Demon Skins are all dead. This means that the Encircled Hunt will escalate further!”
“What would it be?”
“I don’t know. There are too many possibilities. I hope no Human Demons appear…”
In Old Master Huang’s courtyard, the unconscious Puppet People suddenly twitched and propped themselves up on the ground in a strange posture.
They had originally closed their eyes tightly, but they suddenly opened them and looked around with widened eyes.
“They’re looking for us!”
However, the strange thing was that these Puppet People stood in the courtyard and did not move. They only slowly turned their heads and observed left and right..
