Chapter 104 Xu Jin from the United Front Work Department, what a huge label!
I think I'm being followed.
Lin Fan, dressed in a magic robe, was walking in the wilderness.
His body movements remained casual and natural, but his expression became slightly serious.
Because he sensed something was wrong.
Perhaps it's due to his personality, but Lin Fan has always been cautious in his actions.
Especially after he became a member of Paradise through a death escape, he became even more vigilant... He had lived in Iron Fang City for many years, and quite a few people knew him.
He was afraid that his actions would expose the secret of his boss, who had been kind to him.
So even when he was on the go, he maintained the habit of keeping his eyes and ears open.
Whenever he passed by trees or around a bend, he would subconsciously glance around to make sure that no suspicious people were following him.
Today, not long after leaving the Firefly Forest, he noticed someone following him.
He didn't pay attention the first two times, probably because they were just colleagues.
After three or four observations, he was basically certain...
These people are following him.
Because of the distance and the fact that he was only observing his surroundings out of the corner of his eye, he couldn't see the other person's face clearly, so Lin Fan couldn't determine who was following him.
But it is certain that they are being tracked.
This alerted him, and his thoughts raced.
His pace remained unhurried, occasionally turning his head to the side or looking up, as if he were admiring the scenery, without the slightest hint of impatience.
We can't go to Iron Fang City anymore, because it requires crossing a vast, uninhabited wilderness. Before we know the other party's rank, background, or purpose, we naturally can't take the risk.
Then we'll have to find a way to get rid of them.
The closest dungeon to Firefly Forest is Rabbit Dungeon, and further on is another Tier 1 dungeon, Gulu Cave...
Rabbit Benlinfan can't go; most of his classmates are now at level 0, and going there would likely expose him. After all, he's already a 'dead man'.
Then, we'll have to go to Gulu Cave.
If we can get into the instance... although we might get trapped, at least we'll be temporarily free from potential danger.
He figured he could just stay inside for ten days or half a month... He didn't believe the other party could wait for him forever.
So Lin Fan turned towards the Gulu Cave without making a sound. The whole process was very natural, as if the Gulu Cave had been his goal from the very beginning.
During this process, he also observed out of the corner of his eye several times and found that those people were still behind him, which completely proved that he was not outsmarting thin air.
They were really following him.
"It seems... our identity as amusement park has been discovered."
Lin Fan pondered.
He was just an ordinary student who had awakened to a career in life, and his social relationships were not complicated. If it was because of his own connections, then it could only be that a former classmate recognized him.
If it were truly a classmate, the first thing they would do wouldn't be to follow him, but rather to call out his name directly.
But these people were just following along; they clearly had other motives.
Then there's only one possibility...
The other party came to the amusement park.
He asked himself if he had kept a low profile lately, leaving early and returning late, and if his boss had broken all his records in Firefly Forest, then even if he kept grinding Hell difficulty, no one could have noticed.
That is, today, because I decided to leave Irontooth City, I came out at noon.
I never expected to be followed.
So, after much thought, what might attract attention...?
That leaves only the epic classes themselves.
"Did the exploration tool expose the epic class...?"
His heart sank slightly.
Reconnaissance tools are usually quite valuable, and not everyone can afford to use them. He could understand if the people following him were centaurs. But those following him were clearly humans…
"The Divine Descent Cult?"
He was thinking.
Fortunately, things haven't gotten to the worst point yet. Because right now, it's just that his epic class has been exposed, which is still surprising... but compared to the fact that 'he used to be a crafting class and is now an epic class,' it's far too insignificant.
His mind raced, but his steps remained light and calm, neither hurried nor slow.
...
"It seems he's heading somewhere... Director Shen, is there anything special ahead in the direction he's going?"
The aloof young man patiently followed along, his gaze lingering on the mage-dressed man ahead, who had been marked by his companions and thus had a distinct red mark above his head. He then asked Shen Changyuan a question.
Shen Changyuan glanced at it, remained silent for a moment, and then said, "There is a dungeon ahead."
He had to answer.
What tier of dungeon?
"Level 1".
Shen Changyuan paused for a moment, then said, "It's possible that the boss is in that instance, and he's going to meet up with the other side?"
He offered a guess.
The aloof young man raised an eyebrow slightly and squinted at Lin Fan in front of him.
He was about to speak.
The aloof woman beside him spoke calmly: "I think he's noticed us."
"Oh? What do you mean?" The aloof young man looked at her.
"He turned his head 27 times along the way. Although it seemed casual and he was trying his best to restrain himself, the angle at which he turned his head each time was just right so that he could barely see us out of the corner of his eye, and then he didn't turn back... not even once. This shows that he was indeed observing us out of the corner of his eye and did not want to alert us."
"The direction we're heading now is more than 30 degrees off from the direction he initially headed. Outside the instance is wilderness, the terrain here is very flat, there are no obstacles, and we're not traveling on a road. If his initial goal was that Tier 1 instance... why didn't he just take the shortest straight line instead of deviating so far from it initially?"
"So, he has most likely already discovered that we are following him. Going to that Tier 1 dungeon now is probably a spur-of-the-moment decision, an attempt to shake us off."
The woman's calm words made Shen Changyuan look at her. She remained indifferent, her gaze sharp.
The aloof young man frowned slightly, looking at the man who was still walking slowly ahead. After a moment of silence, he asked Shen Changyuan, "How far are we from that dungeon?"
Shen Changyuan was silent for a while: "At this speed, it should take about half an hour to get there."
The aloof young man remained silent for a moment before finally saying, "I trust your judgment... In that case, let's talk to him first."
After saying that, the cold-faced young man stepped forward and disappeared.
...
One has disappeared!
Lin Fan happened to turn his head to observe and saw one of the people suddenly disappear.
Almost instantly, without any hesitation, a mask appeared on his face.
...It was just an ordinary white mask with a few added details.
The next instant, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.
This forced him to stop.
He looked up and saw a cold, stern face. The person squinted and scrutinized him from head to toe.
"The amusement park?"
The other party spoke.
This instantly confirmed Lin Fan's earlier guess.
His heart sank slightly, and his gaze quickly swept around, but he stopped abruptly as he saw Shen Changyuan, who had caught up with him.
As the director of the Iron Fang City Professional Combat Division, Shen Changyuan had a significant presence during the last centaur attack. Lin Fan, who watched the entire live stream online, naturally recognized him.
Official?
It is not the Divine Advent Cult.
Thinking this through his mind, he remained outwardly calm: "Who are you?"
"You haven't answered my question yet."
Lin Fan frowned and said calmly, "I don't understand what you're saying. Please get to the point."
"Can't understand?"
The aloof young man narrowed his eyes slightly.
Then, calmly, she said, "Let me introduce myself. I am Xu Jin from the United Front Work Department of the Xia Kingdom. Do you know what the United Front Work Department of the Xia Kingdom does?"
As a former top student, Lin Fan certainly knew what the United Front Work Department did.
...The department that oversees all professions in the Xia Kingdom is called the United Front Work Department.
It is the highest-level department of the combat operations command in various regions.
"Really? But this has nothing to do with me, right? I haven't broken any laws." Lin Fan said calmly, then looked at Shen Changyuan.
"You don't need to look at him, he can't help you."
The aloof young man Xu Jin looked at Lin Fan: "You don't need to deny it, I know you're a member of Paradise... Boss, Xiao, Shuang... and now you're added to the list, Paradise really has quite a few epic classes..."
"Besides...who said you didn't break the law?"
"Regardless of rank, as long as you are a citizen of Xia Kingdom, you should be under the jurisdiction of the United Front Work Department. Have you registered your name with the United Front Work Department or your identity and occupation information with the local Professional Combat Department?"
Seeing Shen Changyuan remain silent, Lin Fan felt even more uneasy. Then he looked at the young man named Xu Jin but didn't say anything.
"What you're doing is illegal. What's more, you've joined the mysterious illegal organization 'Paradise'..."
"The owner of the park ignored the ceasefire agreement between humans and centaurs, and innocently provoked war, resulting in the deaths of thousands of combat officers in Ironfang City, and even nearly threatening the safety of nearly one million people in Ironfang City... It would not be an exaggeration to charge your park with a crime against humanity."
"So, while I still have patience, tell me... where is that so-called boss?"
Xu Jin finished speaking calmly, staring indifferently at Lin Fan, waiting for his answer.
Lin Fan's heart had sunk to the bottom of the water...
...
at the same time.
Qin Fang sped along like lightning, heading straight for the Firefly Forest.
His eyes were closed, but in his mind, he had a complete grasp of everything within a five-kilometer radius ahead.
It's the moon's eye!
Everything in this world was gray, appearing hazy and indistinct. Yet, in reality, everything within a five-kilometer radius was clearly visible in Qin's mind.
It can even automatically adjust the focus, allowing you to get as close or as far as you want.
It has been half an hour since Yu Qianqiu contacted him, which means that Lin Fan has most likely already run into the other party.
This made Qin Fang frown.
Lin Fan, of course, had no idea of his identity... but if the other party found out that Lin Fan's former profession was a chef, then the amusement park's biggest secret would be exposed.
This is something Qin Fang doesn't want to see.
This secret isn't that it can't be revealed... it's that it can't be revealed now.
The current amusement park is too weak.
"Hopefully..."
As he was thinking about it, he suddenly stopped.
Then he let out a long breath.
Found it.
In the moon's field of vision, five kilometers away, several figures were on the wilderness.
One of them was wearing a mask and was surrounded by people.
However, because Qin Fang's old acquaintance Shen Changyuan was among them, Qin Fang immediately deduced that... the one surrounded was Lin Fan.
He frowned and subconsciously observed the other three people.
He remembered Yu Qianqiu's reminder.
Is it possible for a fourth-tier powerhouse to exist?
But things had already come to this point, and Lin Fan couldn't ignore it. He immediately went into stealth mode and quickly closed in.
When they were about a hundred meters apart, a detached voice entered his ears.
"...The boss ignored the ceasefire agreement between humans and centaurs, innocently provoking war, resulting in the deaths of thousands of combat officers in Iron Fang City, and even nearly threatening the safety of nearly one million people in Iron Fang City... It would not be an exaggeration to charge your Paradise with a crime against humanity."
"So, while I still have patience, tell me... where is that so-called boss?"
Qin Fang paused slightly in his steps.
He frowned and looked at the cold-faced young man in front of Lin Fan.
...What a huge hat!
