Although Chen Luo could indeed use the Herrscher of Corrosion's abilities to make the Book of Cang Xuan, this Armed Puppet, forget what had just happened, Chen Luo was too lazy to do it.

Because...

[Ding! You have a new request!]

Ha, it's just a minor social death, right? As long as we get the Primogem, it's not a big problem.

Besides, it doesn't necessarily have to end in death; the abilities of the Herrscher of Knowledge are not just for show.

"I've agreed to your request. Just stay home and keep a close eye on the little fox. Don't let it cause any more trouble, at least don't let it destroy the house again. It took me a lot of effort to fix the sofa," Chen Luo instructed Book of Cang Xuan.

"Don't worry, I promise I won't let it tear up the sofa. I'll just sleep here on the sofa tonight," Book of Cang Xuan nodded and said.

"Tearing down other places won't work either. Can you stop thinking about sleeping all the time?" Chen Luo said, somewhat annoyed.

You, an Armed Puppet, have been asleep for thousands of years, haven't you had enough sleep yet?

"And Little Eight, what do you want?" Chen Luo turned to look at the little fox.

"Waaah!" But the little fox still seemed angry because Chen Luo had flicked the other's head earlier.

"Oh, you don't want anything? That's so convenient." Chen Luo nodded.

"Waaaaah!"

Well, the little fox is even angrier now.

"Alright, alright, although I can't tell what you want, bringing fried tofu is fine, right?" The Herrscher of Knowledge waved her hand, calming the little fox down.

The little fox did indeed calm down after hearing about fried tofu.

It seems that the Herrscher of Knowledge was right.

Sometimes, foxes are indeed quite easy to fool.

At least that's how the little fox is.

If only the little fox could always be this easy to fool.

As for the Herrscher of Knowledge, in order to avoid being discovered by ordinary people, it entered Chen Luo's sea of consciousness directly, just as agreed.

However, there was another thing that Chen Luo found strange: Yun Xia had met the Herrscher of Knowledge before.

Chen Luo said at the time that the Herrscher of Knowledge was his cousin, but Chen Luo never heard Yun Xia mention this matter again.

Chen Luo didn't know if the Herrscher of Knowledge had done something to Yun Xia, or if Yun Xia trusted Chen Luo too much and didn't ask anyone to check, or if something else had happened.

In short, since the identity of the Herrscher of Knowledge hasn't been exposed, the problem isn't too big.

Does everyone have their own secrets? Just like Chen Luo didn't know Yun Xia was Magical Girl before, right?

It's not surprising that Chen Luo has some secrets.

As long as Yun Xia doesn't ask any further questions, then the matter has been covered up.

At the same time, when Chen Luo went out, Xiao Ke'er, the No. 4 puppet who received the message, immediately reported the information to her superior.

This was actually one of Chen Luo's main purposes: to prove to outsiders that he was still alive.

Although Chen Luo was among the lower suspects in Yvette's disappearance, it was still quite troublesome to be constantly monitored.

According to Xiao Ke'er, this surveillance is not long-term; once Chen Luo is confirmed to be innocent, the others will leave.

After all, monitoring Chen Luo, even if it's just monitoring him and doing nothing else, puts considerable pressure on the church.

Although Chen Luo's talent and strength in the main world didn't make him a top-tier individual, Chen Luo knew three S-rank Talent User and had close relationships with them.

To be honest, perhaps Kero Xiao Ke'er's boss is the bishop, and perhaps she is the one who most hopes that Chen Luo is not the murderer.

The adult world is not just about fighting and killing, but also about human relationships and social interactions.

Especially in the Dark World, where the law of the jungle still prevails, things get even more complicated.

If Chen Luo is proven to be innocent, then so be it. The best outcome would be for the bishop and Chen Luo to live in peace.

If it is indeed proven that Chen Luo is the real murderer, then what do you think the bishop should do?

Xiao Ke'er's superior was just a diocesan bishop; above him were the chief bishop, archbishop, cardinal, and pope.

The bishops above him must have ordered him to kill Chen Luo, and there were three S-rank Talent User next to Chen Luo. They were telling him not to kill Chen Luo, or else they would kill him.

The bishop couldn't afford to offend either side.

So, the reason why the bishop sent in a naive and inexperienced Talent User like Xiao Ke'er might be that she was the only suitable candidate, or it might be the result of a compromise between the bishop and the other three S-rank Talent User.

After all, judging from Xiao Ke'er's professionalism, Xiao Ke'er shouldn't be able to see anything wrong with it.

Because Xiao Ke'er is so unprofessional that it makes you question the meaning of life.

She didn't even know that Chen Luo Vision.

What a waste of her assassination talent.

However, judging from Xiao Ke'er's decisiveness, the other party should not be the kind of member who gathers intelligence, but rather the kind of member who infiltrates to kill.

From the brief exchange between Chen Luo and Xiao Ke'er, it's clear that she used deadly moves against everyone else.

"I understand the logic, but why aren't you wearing shoes?" the Herrscher of Knowledge suddenly asked.

Since the Herrscher of Knowledge is currently lying in Chen Luo's sea of consciousness, it can perceive Chen Luo's thoughts, but these are not things that the Herrscher of Knowledge about.

The Herrscher of Knowledge is now concerned with why Chen Luo is not wearing shoes.

"Why, you ask? Of course, it's for the skill's effect," Chen Luo said while pedaling his bicycle.

"But this is modern society, is it appropriate?"

"What's the big deal? At worst, we can just use the Herrscher Authority of Knowledge to influence the people around us, right?" Chen Luo said matter-of-factly.

"But didn't you want to avoid revealing your abilities other than the Vision the Wind Element?"

"How can this be called an exposure? This is just a new ability that I developed after absorbing the Inner Demon Lure, in addition to the consciousness space. Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand."

"This..." The Herrscher of Knowledge was speechless.

The Herrscher of Knowledge almost forgot that, in other people's eyes, it wasn't him who absorbed the Inner Demon Lure, but Chen Luo.

This reason is plausible, since many of the abilities of the inner demons are similar to the Herrscher Authority of Consciousness.

"Hmm?" Chen Luo suddenly frowned and looked ahead.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

[Help! Help! Help!]: Someone please save me!

Reward: 100 Primogem + random reward

Difficulty: Two stars

"Huh? I can run into a job just by going out for a meal, and it's even a life-saving job?" Chen Luo was utterly astonished.

"Anyway, there are still about 10 minutes left before the agreed time, let's go take a look. The situation over there is really worrying." Chen Luo said, turning his bicycle in a different direction.

After receiving the commission, Chen Luo's location coordinates appeared on his minimap, which was in a small alley that almost no one would go to.

"Ugh!!!" Before Chen Luo even arrived, he heard a scream that sounded like someone had covered his mouth.

Upon hearing this voice Chen Luo quickened his pace.

Silently stuffing the bicycle into his backpack, Chen Luo lightly touched the ground with his toes, allowing himself to fly silently through the air.

Turning the corner of the alley ahead, Chen Luo saw what was happening inside.

Chen Luo saw a Slime attacking a human?

Slime?

Chen Luo was somewhat surprised, because Chen Luo did not expect to encounter Slime in this world.

This is truly amazing.

The reason the human made a muffled sound was because his mouth was covered with a layer of mucus, making it impossible for him to open his mouth and shout for help.

At this moment, the humanoid Slime split off countless tentacles, fiercely lashing out at the man leaning against the wall.

Unfortunately, the Slime's tentacle didn't do much damage, or maybe it was intentional. In any case, it hurt a lot, but it couldn't kill the man, causing him great suffering.

"Whoosh!"

A blade of wind sliced through the air, severing a small portion of the Slime's tentacle that was reaching for the man.

The Slime tentacles that the man couldn't break free from despite his best efforts were easily severed by Chen Luo, and the giant Slime turned its head to look at Chen Luo.

What Chen Luo noticed was that after the Slime's tentacles were severed, they quickly returned to the Slime's body, and the tentacles rapidly regrowed.

"Not bad, its regenerative ability is quite strong. It's at least a B-rank Talent User, right?" Chen Luo stroked his chin as he examined the Slime.

That's right, this Slime isn't a monster, but a Talent User.

The reason Chen Luo was certain that the other party was Talent User was because he could sense the intense hatred emanating from the Slime.

Slime are monsters that have virtually no intelligence; at least, the vast majority of Slime are like that.

This is why Chen Luo didn't kill the Slime with a single blow.

The other party's intense hatred seemed very abnormal. Chen Luo guessed that the man who had been beaten like a dog had probably done something to this Slime.

Chapter 210 A-rank Talent — Slime? Tentacles?

"Hey, give me some face and let that man go first, okay?" Chen Luo said, leaning against the wall, his feet on the damp, cold ground.

"Otherwise, I won't be polite." As he spoke, several wind blades suddenly appeared beside Chen Luo. The wind blades spun rapidly around Chen Luo, leaving deep marks when they grazed the wall, making them look very dangerous.

"Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!" The man on the ground seemed to see hope when he saw the strange sight beside Chen Luo, and his body began to writhe wildly.

Then the Slime lashed him again.

"..." Chen Luo was also helpless. You asked for it yourself. It's not that I didn't want to save you.

Do you know what the best course of action is in this situation? It's to stay quietly in a corner and wait until the battle is over before showing your presence.

However, it's normal for the opponent to have a stress reaction after being hit by the Slime for so long.

The Slime, radiating intense hatred, stared intently at the wind blades surrounding Chen Luo, appearing somewhat fearful.

Although the Slime had a near-human form, it had no discernible expression. The ability to read its meaning was due to Chen Luo's Herrscher of Knowledge ability.

"The Hydro Slime's abilities seem quite useful. It could be a powerful C-rank Talent Holder, or a weak B-rank Talent User. An A-rank Talent User is a bit less likely, but it definitely can't be S-rank Talent User," Chen Luo concluded.

If this Talent User's demonstrated strength is only this much, then they are only a B-level or C-rank Talent Holder.

Of course, this is not to say that B-level and C-rank Talent Holder weak; in fact, every Talent User is one in ten thousand.

Even those with C-rank Talent Holder possess limitless potential. They may not necessarily become extremely wealthy, but they can certainly live a life free from worries about food and clothing.

Even those with Talent User are no exception.

Seeing that the situation was at a slight stalemate, Chen Luo slowly walked towards the Slime.

Chen Luo personally doesn't want to wrong an innocent person, so Chen Luo won't kill anyone before he understands what happened between the two of them.

Seeing the terrifying wind blades surrounding Chen Luo approaching footsteps, the Slime took a step back in fear.

"Ughhhhh!" After seeing the Slime retreat in fear, the man who was bound to the ground by the Hydro Slime's tentacles let out excited whimpers.

There's hope!

"Crack!" Then he was whipped again.

This seemed to spur the Hydro Slime into action. Suddenly, the Hydro Slime mustered its courage and took a step forward, and its body underwent a strange change.

To Chen Luo's astonishment, the Hydro Slime's body color began to change, and its tentacles gradually retracted into its body.

Then... the Hydro Slime gradually turned into a wind Slime.

"... If you fucking yell again, I'll cut your tongue out, you believe me?" Chen Luo roared at the man who was lying on the ground.

What the hell are you yelling for? You yelled twice and got beaten up twice. Don't you ever learn?

Even after the Slime transformed from Hydro Slime into a wind Slime, the binding slime on the man's body and the slime covering his mouth did not disappear.

This shows that even after Slime changes form, it can still retain some traces of its previous form.
