Chapter 314 An ambush had already been laid

"What a rare sight!"

"But it looks familiar. A similar plane crash happened once before in the Americas, and it seems to have been the work of that Sergio guy."

"Hmm... 270 people have died in just a few seconds."

At that very moment, in the very center of the crash site, a man carrying a bottle of tequila, wearing a black jacket and a baseball cap, was picking his nose while marking off each of the "top-tier members of society" who had miraculously survived the crash.

As for who this person is, you are probably quite familiar with him—Lu Jin, an operative of the Eoubs East Xia branch, rank D04, is a long-time lieutenant of Yu Yun, and is recognized by the entire operations department as the "most good at pretending to be weak to deceive others" bastard.

When it comes to the phrase "pretending to be weak to eat tigers," it's usually used to describe a chosen one—however, Lu Jin himself doesn't fit that description at all. After all, this guy always has a decadent look of "I'm going to commit suicide any second now," and he drowns himself in alcohol all day long. He's too lazy to even take hallucinogens, and he's plain-looking, not particularly strong or tall. As for his temperament... well, let's not even mention it.

If there's anything about him that fits the description of "the chosen one," it's probably only the recently implanted but incredibly powerful characteristic that brings tears to one's eyes—sin and punishment.

This forbidden item's ability is somewhat similar to Li Lin's Blood Source of All Things and Mike Rong's Extraction Dead Point. All three are extremely weak and useless when they first awaken, but once you develop to a certain level, they become incredibly powerful.

Of course, Eoubs's registered names for these three forbidden items sounded rather sophisticated; at least they weren't names like "A Flesh and Blood Ball That Eats and Drinks Indiscriminately" or "May Your Whole Family Die in Advance," which sound incredibly cheesy.

But the biggest difference between Lu Jin and the other two is that the latter are geniuses who use their special abilities, while he... belongs to the kind of fool who is willing to work hard later.

Nearly ten years have passed since the implantation of the forbidden substance, but this characteristic known as "crime and punishment" was only fully awakened after the adjudication department used vigilante justice last time.

Furthermore, Lu Jin has no connections whatsoever. This is partly because Yu Yu has offended too many people, and partly because he has shown no outstanding performance over the years. Therefore, even though operatives undergo rating tests every few months, he remains stuck at the D04 level, showing no improvement whatsoever.

After all, the existence of Eoubs is kept absolutely secret from most of the public, but within the circle, "consumable items" are the tools that the powerful and wealthy like the most. For an operative who is not high-ranking and acts in a fairly conventional manner, Lu Jin is the most suitable person to be.

However, now that they've arrived in the world of the Mirror of Eternal Dreams, no matter how exaggerated the background of the operatives trapped here is, the honors and titles bestowed upon them by Eoubs have all become worthless.

In the world Li Lin envisioned, people like Lu Jin were destined to be eliminated. Even if they weren't on the opposing side or hadn't committed any heinous acts with the salon's higher-ups, they would still be slaughtered and absorbed into a temple built from the bones of countless others. If they were lucky, they might be a single floor tile, but the entire temple would be sacrificed under the feet of hundreds of thousands of people.

If you really want to know why, it's because Li Lin is meticulous enough. He won't tolerate anyone who has any rebellious tendencies. Even if they fall into the abyss, it's not enough. He'll grind their bones to dust, shred their bodies, and throw them into a shredder to make hamburgers before he's satisfied.

For those he supports, this is the best thing that could happen, because they will feel that for a moment, those high-ranking "top social figures" are not so important. No matter how powerful you are as an operative or a branch leader, once you die, everything is over—and they will naturally take your place and become the ones who can look down on others.

In conclusion, excluding this third characteristic, Lu Jin is undoubtedly an insignificant nobody. Everything he needs to do now, whether for He Yu and his group, for all of humanity, or for some other seemingly noble cause, requires him to fight to the death.

Of course, when he was pulled in by Sheen, he also realized that for trash like "cheap goods" in this absurd and desperate era, only dying in the control mission could be considered as becoming a "human".

“275……279……286”.

A few breaths later, Lu Jin marked all those who had finally landed safely on the ground and were preparing to get up to check their surroundings, as well as the residents who were still struggling in the ruins, with a "penalty" cross.

To be honest, those guys on the passenger plane were really unlucky. The film and television buildings they crashed into were exactly where Lu Jin and Stanford were planning to shoot a movie.

Admittedly, they also thought it was fucking outrageous. Until the plane came into view, they were all thinking, "Fuck you, is this some kind of exaggeration?" The guys just followed the organization's instructions and specially chose a pretty good spot with these traitors. They had just finished writing the manuscript when a passenger plane suddenly appeared.

Is this some kind of dramatic turn of events? It seems like God and Buddha are in a bad mood right now. Back when so many terrible movies were made in your Eastern Xia territory, why weren't you two so indignant?

Fortunately, Lu Jin and his team discovered the danger in time and evacuated the area that was about to be hit, so there weren't many casualties. However, since the survivors on the passenger plane were mostly henchmen of Heaven's Gospel and had been implanted with source samples, Lu Jin could only act with the intention of making a profit.

"Hey—why are there two familiar faces in the sky?"

After dealing with those people, he turned his gaze to the sky and spotted Carlos and Merlink, who were still adjusting their positions.

"Yeah, those two idiots were incredibly lucky; they weren't struck by lightning."

However, just as Lu Jin was about to contact Stanford to meet up, an unfamiliar voice suddenly came from beside him, forcibly interrupting his actions.

At this moment, Lu Jin's expression changed.

Because at that moment, the forbidden objects within his body all felt an unprecedented data fluctuation. What was even more surprising was that... the forbidden object numbered 012 could reflect any damage. And he belatedly discovered that another forbidden object, 476, which was used to measure the enemy's combat power, had fallen into a state of malfunction.

"Don't waste your energy, those two forbidden items of yours are useless against me."

Two seconds later, the voice seemed to realize that Lu Jin was thinking about something, and thoughtfully added this sentence.

Only then did he sigh, then turn around and look at the newcomer.
