“Then why did he betray us now?”
“Because he has a child in his old age! The child his wife just gave birth to last year had a terminal disease the moment it was born. Ordinary methods can’t save it at all. Only by becoming a Puppet Person can it survive.
“Therefore, he took the initiative to join the Puppet People in order to save his child’s life.”
Lin Yan was silent for a moment. “After becoming a Puppet Person, will he still be himself?”
The old man kowtowed loudly. “1 only want him to live, even if it’s just his body… Please, sirs, you can kill me, but please let my child go. He’s only two years old and doesn’t know anything. Please!”
Tears streamed down his face, making one unable to bear to look at him.
Lin Yan looked at the unbearable expression on Cheng Yu’er’s face and asked, “You want to spare his life?”
Unexpectedly, Cheng Yu’er shook her head decisively. “We can’t let him off. After letting him off, there will be quite a bit of trouble. I’m just sighing. Why does he have to live such a hard life…”
Coldness and pity coexisted on her face, but there was no contradiction, causing Lin Yan to take a few careful glances at her.
He turned to ask the old man, “Is that job recruitment meeting real or fake?”
“It’s real.”
Zhu Chong and Cheng Yu’er nodded.
Lin Yan nodded silently and waved his hand. Zhu Chong understood and dragged the old man out.
“The plan remains unchanged. I’ll go to the recruitment meeting when the time comes. But we have to change locations.”
Cheng Yu’er nodded listlessly.
Zhu Chong returned quickly. The corner of his shirt was stained with some blood. Lin Yan asked Cheng Yu’er to call Hua Ling. The four of them silently left the factory courtyard and entered the bustling commercial streets of District
AZ.
The scenery was naturally exotic. It had the temperament of a modern and classical combination.
After all, Zhu Chong had been here before. Following his directions and Cheng Yu’er’s intuition, the four of them found a bungalow and entered. There was a thin layer of dust here. Clearly, the owner had not returned in a long time.
“Rest here for a while. After 1 leave, Zhu Chong, you’ll be under Cheng Yu’er’s command.”
Zhu Chong complied respectfully.
Then, Lin Yan ignored Cheng Yu’er’s resentment and Hua Ling’s curiosity. He picked another room and entered seclusion.
Just like that, time passed. Lin Yan closed his eyes and rested for a while to recover his energy. Then, he installed the gray crystal on his arm and prepared to set off.
“Brother Thigh, you…” Cheng Yu’er hesitated.
“Is there something you want to say to me?”
Cheng Yu’er shook her head. “Brother Thigh, I can sense that your trip this time will probably go very smoothly.”
Lin Yan was about to leave when he suddenly stopped in his tracks. “I remember that your master’s death was related to Marquis Qianning?”
Cheng Yu’er’s face darkened slightly. “That’s right.”
“If there’s a chance, I’ll avenge you.”
“Thank you, Brother Thigh…”
“Let’s go.”
With that, Lin Yan flashed out.
Cheng Yu’er stared at Lin Yan’s back as he left. She slowly sighed and muttered to herself in a soft voice, “Brother Thigh, 1 still don’t know your real name…”
The recruitment conference in Area Al attracted a lot of people.
Lin Yan followed the address route he knew previously and walked to the venue. He saw a sea of people squeezing against each other, crowding half the street. Even with the Black Tortoise Divine Armor, Lin Yan might not be able to squeeze in.
Since he couldn’t turn invisible and enter easily, Lin Yan decided to blend into the crowd first and slowly walk forward.
The line was long and slow, but Lin Yan was very patient as he walked forward step by step.
After walking for a long time, a tall and thin man with a goatee beside him was really bored. He turned to look at Lin Yan and casually said, “Little brother, what position are you applying for?”
“…Beast Tamer,” Lin Yan replied casually. This was the first position Old Sheng had mentioned at that time.
“Beast Tamer?!” The goateed man was shocked, and his voice rose.
“Beast tamer… Is there a problem?”
“No problem, no problem. I just didn’t expect you to have the strength of the Yellow Grade Noble Realm at such a young age and such confidence.” The goateed man was shocked and flattered.
“How do you know that I have the strength of the Noble Realm?”
“It’s written in the recruitment booklet,” the goateed man said. “The requirements for beast tamers are higher than the basic requirements for guards. It’s said that because the big shots in District Al raise ferocious beasts with ancient bloodlines, they’re extremely difficult to tame. Therefore, beast tamers generally require extremely powerful strength!”
“…Oh, is that so…” Lin Yan changed the topic and said, “Brother, what position are you applying for?”
“I can’t compare to you, brother. I’m just a chef. I’ve loved to cook since I was young, so I applied to be a chef.”
“Brother, your size doesn’t look like a chef’s.”
“Hehe, I was born with it. I can’t get fat no matter how much I eat.”
The two of them chatted along the way. They felt that it was not that slow anymore.
Finally, the people in front became fewer and fewer. In front of them was a large square. Someone was pulling a thick hemp rope as a cordon. These people were all wearing black armor that shone with a cold light. One look and one could tell that they were well-trained and had extraordinary strength.
In the plaza, a row of more than ten tents had been set up. Each tent was of different sizes. It seemed that all kinds of equipment had been arranged for evaluation. There were kitchen utilities, flower pots, plants, sabers, spears, swords, halberds, and armors. They were all used for testing..
