I write obituaries for the gods

Oh... you have to rank up for this...?

"Among them, the top executioners will have the power to directly serve the principal..."

Serving the Lord... this must mean working for the Church of Mentis, right?

Lin Chen recalled the Mentis cultists who were fleeing in all directions in the ideal state: those poor bastards were killed so badly, can they really build up a large enough force now?

They probably have a ton of messes to clean up right now, right? So, once a new executioner gets to a certain level, they won't have time to do a background check; they'll just have to use him when needed.

Lin Chen swiped down to learn about the different levels of urban executioners.

Then he was speechless:

"Rookie, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Master, Top Executioner..."

Do the Mentis Cult members also fight in the highest-level legendary battles...? Lin Chen suddenly couldn't hold back anymore.

If I come here to fry platinum bros, will they call me a fish fryer?

Lin Chen clicked on the "Newbie" section and began looking for suitable orders.

He first sorted them by difficulty in reverse order to see which was the easiest:

"Subject of the order: Hakimi is missing. We must find him alive or dead! Location: Mingzhutan District. Reward: 70 yuan."

Order subject: Picking up and dropping off children, suitable for first-time drivers. Location...

Lin Chen scrolled up and selected the difficulty levels in ascending order:

"Subject of the order: Revenge! The road of the martial world is long and dark! Location: Xiwang District. Reward: 1500 yuan."

Sigh, this is the kind of order that black market websites should have!

Lin Chen opened the order page, glanced at the details, and then pressed accept.

Let's start frying the fish!

He exited the order page, opened the "Yike Family" group chat, and sent a screenshot of his order confirmation.

Lin Chen: @Jiang Zhengge, Lao Jiang, have you ever taken a job as an urban executioner?

Jiang Zhengge: Here you go, I'm Platinum Brother.

Lin Chen: Is there anything I should be careful about?

Jiang Zhengge: Be careful not to go too far; if you kill him, you'll have to write a report.

Lin Chen: Is it really that casual?

Jiang Zhengge: You decide what to do, just be careful not to get too involved.

After typing this line, Jiang Zhengge put down his phone and turned to look out the window.

Outside the window, the rain was pouring down; it always rains at night in this rainy city.

Jiang Zhengge lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling, his mind replaying once again the chance encounter with tide Leina on the way down to the whale nest.

He knew that if Xileina had been willing, he would have been in deep trouble.

But tide Lena did nothing.

Was she just here to say hello? Impossible... She must have gone to the whale nest to retrieve something, and deliberately avoided him.

If she had assisted Euclid that night, the battle would have been even more difficult.

No... how could she possibly assist Euclid?

She was a hawk, and hawks would love for doves to die. Euclid may have been caught in her trap from the very beginning.

Has she truly transformed from that innocent Roma girl into a cruel demigod?

Jiang Zhengge sighed softly.

He had known this day would come sooner or later: as long as the investigation bureau continued down this path, Xileina would eventually stand in his way and become his enemy.

However, Jiang Zhengge did not expect that this day would come so soon.

Let's begin the investigation.

Jiang Zhengge opened the Xiaomai app and searched for tide Leina's name to see if she had any concert dates.

As a singer, concerts were practically the only way for Jiang Zhengge to have unconditional contact with her.

And it actually happened:

“Sydina Boswell 'Romballo' Tour, Yudu Station”

Performance Venue: Yudu Olympic Sports Center

However, the button to buy tickets displayed "Out of Stock Registration".

"They've all been scalped by scalpers..." Jiang Zhengge muttered.

Jiang Zhengge checked the opening time, set an alarm, and then lay down on the bed.

Project Black Star—the name itself doesn't sound like anything good, and the Bureau of Investigation currently has almost no clue about it.

Jiang Zhengge clenched his fists slightly: he hated the feeling of things getting out of control.

"call..."

At that moment, his phone gave a soft buzz.

He picked up his phone and saw a new text message:

"Hello, I'm a seasoned scalper. I noticed you're interested in Sylvia Boswell's concert. Do you want tickets?"

Jiang Zhengge opened the text message and typed a reply:

"tide Lena, stop monitoring my phone."

Then he turned off his phone and tossed it aside.

.....

The next day, Lin Chen set off early in the morning on his electric scooter to pick up orders.

Hey, when I first arrived in Yudu, I rode an electric scooter to pick up food delivery orders. Now I'm riding an electric scooter to pick up orders from illegal food delivery services. How did I end up walking back home after going around in circles?

Under the bright sunshine, Lin Chen smiled faintly and then headed towards his destination.

Following the directions, he arrived at a small garage.

Before knocking, Lin Chen took out a Jason mask, put it on his face and secured it, then gently knocked on the roller shutter door.

After knocking for a long time, the roller shutter door was pulled up a bit, revealing a head:

"Baba Yaga?"

“It’s me, Baba Yaga.” Lin Chen nodded.

The name was given to him by Liti. When Lin Chen was having breakfast, he found that his username was the default, so he asked for suggestions at the table.

Of course, he was referring to the children as "naming games".

“Leon S. Kennedy!” Li Zhanyi raised his hand!

“Dante,” Huihui calmly uttered the two words.

“That’s too exaggerated,” Litty shook her head. “We need someone who isn’t so mythical, but is still powerful enough.”

"Does Little Litty have any ideas?" Lin Chen asked, looking at Litty.

Litty raised her hands, making a claw gesture.

“Baba Yaga!” she shouted.

"Barba Yaga! Barbaya Ga is here!"

The roller shutter door was pulled up, and Lin Chen saw that it was filled with a group of burly men.

Most of them looked terrible, their bodies wrapped in bandages, a bunch of losers.

"Baba Yaga!" the leader shouted. "Even though you're a newbie, this is all the money we can afford! Avenge us!"

“Okay, I will do my best,” Lin Chen nodded. “Who is the target of your revenge?”

"Lin Chen, Section One, Yudu Anomaly Investigation Bureau!"

The leader shouted and pulled out a photo of Lin Chen.

"My brother and I were sent by the Foundation to monitor him and his sister, but he beat us up with a shotgun. Damn it, we were just released and we were treated like dogs by other gangs!"

"You know what I mean, right? I have to get revenge on him at the root of the problem! Otherwise... what are you going to do?"

Lin silently loaded the shotgun.

......

Chapter 4: Taking Orders to Rank Up! (Third Update)

"Brother Lin! Brother Lin, I didn't mean to!"

"Brother Lin! I'll never hire someone to hurt you on the black market again, waaaaah!"

"Brother Lin!"

"Can't you just be quiet!"

Lin Chen patted the client on the head. At this moment, he was being put into a prison van, and the agents of the Rapid Response Division II were tying up his accomplices one by one.

"Didn't you want revenge on me?" Lin Chen slapped the client's head again. "Wasn't I right in front of you just now? I gave you a chance, but you didn't take it!"

Just now, as soon as Lin Chen took off his mask, these guys immediately peed their pants.

This is to be expected, since these bastards will see the news of "Lin Chen and Terry shaking hands" as soon as they get out of prison, and they will immediately understand what kind of people they dealt with before.

And guess what? They actually chose to hire someone online to kill Lin Chen!

I bought the cheapest newbie model!

Isn't this malicious?

If a complete novice were to try and mess with Lin Chen, wouldn't that just be a complete disaster for that novice?

They'll probably be able to have a moment of self-consolation later: "Even though we can't beat you, we disgusted you!" Just like those chickens in the game "Legend of Mir" who just shoot someone and run away.

Sigh... Give me back my old Zippo... Lin Chen couldn't help but sigh at the passage of time.

"I was wrong, I was wrong, I was really wrong!" the client stammered.

“I know you were wrong, so you have to be punished,” Lin Chen said earnestly. “However, you have a chance to redeem yourself. What do you say? Do you want to seize it?”

"Tell me, tell me, I'll definitely cooperate!"

The client was dumbfounded. When they had inspected him before, this Lin Chen was clearly a down-on-his-luck college student, but now he really did look a bit like a Baba Yaga.

It was as if he would shoot someone dead at any moment.

“Take out your phone,” Lin Chen said. “Open the Blacknet app.”

"and then?"

"Give me a five-star review, then checkout," Lin Chen said expressionlessly.

"...?"

Five minutes later, the prison van carrying a load of people left. Lin Chen opened his phone and saw that his rank had increased by one level.

"I'm a Bronze Brother now," Lin Chen sighed softly.

He reopened the Urban Executioners section, ready to take on a few more orders.

In his first job, a gang fight broke out, and Lin Chen was hired as a henchman.

"call..."

In the alley, Lin Chen picked up the client's phone, used his fingerprint to unlock the black network, and gave himself a five-star review.

Behind him, both sides in the fierce battle lay on the ground, barely alive.

"Second Division, we have some free sales figures here," Lin Chen dialed the phone. "Come and get them quickly, I need to rush to my next order."

For his second job, Lin Chen was commissioned to steal confidential documents from a villa, which were supposedly evidence of smuggling by the opposing gang.

"Second Section Chief, there are free performance records here, hurry up."

Lin Chen glanced at the house behind him: the leaders of both gangs were kneeling in the center of the house, on the verge of death.
