Weiyang was on the verge of tears, knowing full well that once Qin Jiao made a decision, it would never be changed.
Let's just hope that the Chijie Armor is strong enough.
Li Chen, who had remained silent, looked at Qin Jiao and asked, "Is Seven Sins an organization or a team?"
It's easy to tell from Qin Jiao's words that someone with the title "Seven Sins" must be no ordinary person.
After all, this requires risking one's life to capture those criminals who have rebelled against the City of Sin, and their strength should not be underestimated.
Qin Jiao smiled and said, "Quick reaction. The Seven Sins don't belong to a team or an organization, but rather to a vast force. However, this force is extremely fragmented, practically scattered."
"Of course, I'm joking."
"The City of Sin is divided into light and darkness. The light is me, and the darkness is the Seven Sins. Among the Seven Sins, there are criminals who receive special treatment from the Pass Master; they possess immense power."
"They are also the Pass Master's strongest sword, the sword to rid the villains lurking in the shadows."
"And the executive officer represents the shield."
"As for your joining, it's my forced intervention, granting you direct authority over the Seven Sins, meaning you won't have to consider the opinions of other executives anymore."
"Just reveal your identity. You belong to the Seven Sins, but not to any particular faction."
Li Chen's expression remained unchanged as he calmly said, "So, you want me to join the Seven Sins, and that's not just about having me work."
"There must be other motives involved?"
Qin Jiao put down her water glass, her tone becoming serious. "That's right," she said, "My goal is to truly get you into the Seven Sins and to compete for the throne of the Sin of Greed, one of the Seven Sins."
"Now that the Pass Master is busy defending against Eerie Monsters at the Sinful Pass and doesn't have time to deal with those restless fellows, I'm needed to take over."
Note: The Seven Sins are actually seven sins, each with an absolute Authority Holder who wields power, but some of them have begun to rebel.
Li Chen frowned, his tone somewhat cold, "So you want to groom me as an envoy for both the overt and covert sides."
Aren't you afraid of going too far?
"Will it be impossible to recover the losses in the end?"
Qin Jiao and pointed to the sign on her chest.
She is the current deputy warden. Anyone who dares to touch her is going against the Pass Master. Although the Pass Master is not in power now, her influence remains.
"Don't worry, I'm your protector in the City of Sin now, as long as you can seize the throne of the Sin of Greed."
"Even if the mission is completed, the Seven Sins are just your starting point, not the end. Until the day you leave the City of Sin, you will be able to reap all the benefits here in the future."
Li Chen fell silent...
He needed a life of Merit, but who would have thought that this woman would suddenly throw out such a trump card?
Should he be sent as an undercover agent?
Aren't you afraid of being betrayed?
Qin Jiao narrowed her eyes, waiting for Li Chen's choice.
After a long silence...
Li Chen's calm eyes turned to Qin Jiao. "Okay, but I need all the information on the Seven Sins."
"And you also need to award me a thousand Merit."
"Okay, sure." Qin Jiao's lips curled up slightly.
Weiyang watched the conversation between the two with some confusion.
What's going on?
Is that all?
Moreover, this man in front of her actually said that a thousand Merit were equivalent to ten days' wages for her.
After Qin Jiao transmitted the data to Li Chen, the two hurriedly left.
In heavy snow.
Weiyang kicked at the snow piled up on the ground, venting her emotions.
Li Chen was reviewing information about the Seven Sins.
The Seven Sins.
An organization of executive officers operating in the shadows.
It possesses the Seven Deadly Sin Thrones.
These are [Pride, jealousy, Wrath, Sloth, Greed, gluttony, and Lust].
These Authority Holder on the thrones control the entire Seven Sins.
A throne represents a power.
The Authority Holder of the Sin of Greed that Qin Jiao had previously asked him to seize had died in the riots of the previous month. What was ostensibly a riot was actually a trap set by the other Authority Holder in charge of the Seven Sins.
As for now, no new candidate has ascended to the Greed Throne.
That's why Qin Jiao sent him to fight for Greed.
The difficulty lies in figuring out how to compete for it.
According to the intelligence she provided, the entire Greed Force is now controlled by other Authority Holder and is just an empty shell. Whoever dares to inherit the throne will face pressure from other forces.
Other factions also did not want to relinquish this throne.
Although it is now an empty shell, the throne still holds considerable power and retains many of the Greed members who were previously defeated and torn apart.
This is also a considerable force.
Now all forces are vying for this huge piece of the pie.
Li Chen's head ached just thinking about it. He currently had neither influence nor absolute power, so how could he possibly contend for the Greed Throne?
At that moment, Weiyang suddenly handed Li Chen a piece of candy.
"Hey, we can think about the Seven Sins thing when we get back; it'll all be the same."
"Since the mission hasn't even started yet, let's relax with a candy."
Taking the candy, Li Chen's eyes gleamed as he looked at the red candy in his palm.
Sugar... medicine...
Is this the only way?
Heavy snow is falling...
Li Chen squeezed the candy in his hand, sighed, and dialed Qin Jiao's number.
"Send me the information on the locations of drug trading sites that can be found in the City of Sin."
"..."
Hang up the phone...
Feeling the biting cold wind, Li Chen's expression grew increasingly indifferent, and he murmured...
"Things have changed after all..."
"I need this throne, and I will get it by any means necessary."
That battle changed him.
He needs to improve his skills and abilities as soon as possible; he doesn't want to be passive anymore.
Evil Cults were a major concern for him, but this place, just as Qin Jiao said, was a new starting point for him.
He was going to seize every opportunity he could.
In the dark office.
The sound of the phone being hung up rang out.
Qin Jiao tossed her phone onto the table, chuckled softly, and murmured...
"Interesting... interesting..."
"Was the Child of Destiny forced into this situation by pressure from Evil Cult?"
Her eyes darkened. "Looks like I made the right bet, but the Qin Family is a big problem now."
"Wrath? He really is my brother."
"Don't you want me to die so soon?"
"Then I will make this long-silent land of sin boil over."
From the moment he woke up, everything was handled in an orderly manner, and everything was under his control.
But the only thing she was uncertain about was Li Chen; his identity was exceptionally special, equivalent to one of the people the Pass Master was taking care of.
That's why she dared to send him to contend for the Greed Throne.
Moreover, she understood what Li Chen was facing and what he needed; she simply gave him a push from behind.
This is the result she wanted. It doesn't mean he used Li Chen. They are just supporting each other. Although Li Chen has no value now, that may not be the case in the future.
Next, the entire City of Sin will undergo a major reshuffle.
Things that no one dared to do before.
People will start to step forward one after another.
The Seven Sins are about to be addressed.
P. S.: The student film has officially ended, and the crown film has just begun. People will die... a lot of people will die...
