I write obituaries for the gods

“tide Lena?” he said softly.

There was no response; the wind merely brushed past him, it was just a gust of wind.

......

Goodnight, see you tomorrow morning!

"Good night."

In the bunker's temporary room, Lin Chen said goodnight to Li Zhanyi, then went to their respective beds and turned off the lights.

After closing his eyes, Lin Chen did not rush to fall asleep, but instead began to sense the white city.

The history he went through after swallowing up the "defenders of democracy" is worth reading.

After all, his brother is "Freedom Eagle," an Alpha-level demigod of the super-American.

It's always good to get some information in advance.

However, Lin Chen was soon disappointed.

The defender of democracy seems to have deliberately forgotten everything related to his brother, intentionally leaving no trace in his memory.

As Lin Chen prepared to trace back the past, the black flames arrived as promised, engulfing that history.

"..."

Lin Chen gazed at the figure with black wings spread across the sky and sighed softly.

Since we haven't obtained any intelligence, let's take a good look at the power of these demigods.

Lin Chen began to search for those dark blue bubbles.

During this time, he killed many demigods and acquired their abilities.

Lord Rock transformed his body into stone, thus reconstructing himself into another life form.

The Shadowless Sword is in a superposition state, which is why it can accelerate itself to the extreme.

The defender of democracy... his power is to devour everything and transform it into a part of himself.

Lin Chen had previously wondered if these powers could be used to his advantage if they were projected onto him.

He reached into the bubble of the Rock King, sensing the consequences of the projection.

Soon, an absurd scene appeared before his eyes: Lin Chen saw his body turn into stone. He tried to deactivate the projection, but no matter what he did, he could not return to the state before the projection.

As expected... Lin Chen sighed softly.

When he first projected the power of the Sky Tower, even after the projection was deactivated, the muscle enhancement features of the Sky Tower remained on his body.

Now it seems that if he attempts to project these powers that "completely alter one's physical structure to gain superpowers," the side effects will also completely change his body.

This is why Lin Chen had always felt that he could not reach the same level of Feng Shui control as Triton – Triton had some special organs on his body, and unless Lin Chen also wanted to grow scales and fins, he would not be able to reach that level.

"It seems we'll need to piece together a puzzle to utilize these powers..."

Lin Chen's mind raced.

If one could obtain the superpower of "freely shaping one's own body," would one have the opportunity to utilize all of these superpowers that originally had strong side effects?

"Let's see if we can find a demigod with the relevant abilities."

Lin Chen exited the projection and looked up at the sky above the white city once again.

To his surprise, the figure with black wings was still hovering in the sky, looking down below.

This time, he actually sensed a hint of lingering affection in the figure's posture.

A sense of nostalgia.

What's wrong? You burned my history, and you even developed feelings for it?

Lin Chen waved his hand towards the air:

"Shall we come down and talk?"

The dark figure immediately turned around and flew away without looking back.

Lin Chen: ......

It seems I've been presumptuous...

......

Chapter 40 Beihai

The next morning.

"Shouldn't you say goodbye to them?"

"No more."

Lin Chen secretly opened a crack in the door to Liti and Huihui's room, peeking at the girls sleeping in bed.

After staring at them for a while, Lin Chen closed the door.

“Saying goodbye so earnestly every time feels like setting a flag,” Lin Chen muttered. “I don’t like that feeling.”

Li Zhanyi smiled faintly:

"No, we will all return safely."

"Ah."

Lin Chen nodded.

"Goodbye," he whispered to the door.

......

Two hours later, the helicopter landed on the deck of the Ocean.

As soon as Lin Chen got off the plane, he saw Lucy walking towards him.

"You're here? Old Jiang is already waiting for you in the captain's cabin," Lucy said with a smile, waving two cups of coffee in her hand. "Here, a refreshing coffee."

"Thank you, Sister Lucy!" Li Zhanyi accepted the coffee with a beaming smile.

"Sis, aren't you asleep?" Lin Chen noticed Lucy's dark circles as he took the coffee.

"Tsk, how can someone be so perceptive in a place like this..."

Lucy glanced at Lin Chen with displeasure, then nodded slightly:

"Yes, I didn't sleep much last night, since we're going back to our hometown soon."

"Go back to your hometown?"

Lin Chen was somewhat surprised:

"Is Lucy from the Silver District?"

"Hmm, I didn't tell you this before, did I?"

When this matter was mentioned, Lucy's expression visibly dimmed.

"Alright, let's talk about these things later," she waved her hand. "Old Jiang is still waiting. We're about to set sail. Hurry up and go."

"Okay." Lin Chen nodded.

Led by Lucy, Lin Chen quickly arrived at the captain's cabin.

As soon as he entered, he saw the old captain, a member of the Secret Party, spun the ship, while Hua Luori chattered with him on the side.

Hua Molan and Jiang Zhengge stood in front of a map, deep in thought.

"You're here?" Jiang Zhengge turned to look at the two of them. "Then let's have a meeting."

"Mm." Lin Chen nodded.

He looked at the map of the Silver District and found that an area had been marked on it.

"St. Peter's Town..." Lin Chen murmured the name, "Where is this?"

“This is the most prosperous area in the Silver District, and all information and intelligence from this region flows through this town,” Hua Molan explained. “If we want to find the location of the Foundation’s factory that refines Abyss crystals, St. Peter’s Town is the fastest way.”

"In addition, the experimental department tried to track the frequency of the Abyss crystal raw materials. Although the signal was very blurry, it was generally in the St. Peters area."

“Last night, we did some intelligence work and obtained some information about the local area.”

"Intelligence work?" Lin Chen was somewhat surprised. "We have informants in a place like this?"

“I met some enthusiastic citizens when I was on duty in Baiyin District,” Jiang Zhengge said casually. “The information they could provide was limited, but it was enough to show us their overall perspective.”

"Currently, it appears that this town is under the control of the Black Pine Brotherhood."

"Brotherhood?" Li Zhanyi tilted his head.

“The Russian Mafia,” Jiang Zhengge said, “just think of it as a gang. The Baiyin District has always been under Russian control. Due to its remote location, it is basically out of the control of the Yudu Municipal Government.”

“That’s why we have extremely limited intelligence on that area,” Hua Molan shook her head. “However, fortunately, we have two natives.”

Hua Molan turned her head and looked at Lucy and Oswald beside her.

Oswald, who was usually taciturn, stepped forward and pointed to an area on the map.

“Black Bear Bar, a hub of the underground black market, is where you can buy intelligence,” Oswald said. “I can take you in, but not too many people; the Black Pine Brotherhood keeps a tight rein on you.”

“That sounds pretty dangerous,” Jiang Zhengge said. “Before that, I need to confirm one thing—what is the connection between the Black Pine Brotherhood and the Mercury Society?”

He looked directly at Oswald.

Oswald was silent for a moment, then took out a photograph and pasted it on the clue board.

“Lavasis,” Oswald said in a deep voice, “is Pakhan of the Black Pine Brotherhood, you could think of him as a kind of ‘godfather’ supreme leader.”

“Lavasis…isn’t this guy the leader of the Mercury Society’s Rain City branch?” Li Zhanyi noticed.

Oswald nodded.

“It seems that Mercury’s local front is a gangster brotherhood,” Lin Chen nodded slightly. “This kind of identity is really not easy to deal with.”

“In a lawless place like St. Peter’s, the Brotherhood’s Pakan is practically king,” Lucy said. “Whatever they say goes, and their influence extends to every corner of the town.”

“This means that once you enter the Silver Zone, you must conceal your identities,” Hua Molan nodded. “Those who are too conspicuous will have to stay on the ship for now.”

"What? You won't let me go?" Hua Luori leaned closer, pouting. "What's going on?"

"Senior Hua, please wait until the crucial moment to come. This is your area of ​​expertise." Lin Chen gave a thumbs up.

"Oh my, Xiao Lin has such a sweet tongue, she's won me over completely." A bright smile appeared on Hua Luori's face.

"Still here, sister, have you no shame..." Hua Molan narrowed her eyes.

"Little one, you can't be so disrespectful..." Hua Luori poked Hua Molan's waist.

“Let me and Xiaolin go with Oswald as the advance team,” Jiang Zhengge said. “Our appearance will make it easier to get in.”

"What? Am I not able to use it?" Li Zhanyi's eyes widened.

"You're too eye-catching..." Lin Chen looked at Li Zhanyi's pretty little face.

"Is...is that so?"

Li Zhanyi scratched his face somewhat embarrassedly, at a loss for what to do for a moment.

"You...you're praising me?"

"Calm down, calm down, keep your composure..." Lucy quickly massaged Li Zhanyi's shoulders.

“It is important to note that Louis’s remnants of the rebels are still working for the foundation,” Jiang Zhengge added. “They will definitely recognize us, so we must conceal our movements as much as possible.”

After discussing the specific strategies, Hua Molan began to introduce the overall situation:

"Currently, there are no obvious signs of control over the ports in the Silver District. However, according to port communications, Zhao Tianmu has already passed on the news of the port's fall to Louis. If the Ocean Ship approaches the ports in the Silver District, it is very likely to be attacked by the rebels on the spot."

"So, our current planned route is to go directly from the Liberty Canal to the North Sea, and you will take the waterway ashore to enter the town."

"If anything happens, we will provide support immediately. The Armed Division is loading all sorts of big toys onto the ship. If all else fails, we will fight them head-on and we won't be at a disadvantage."

“However,” Hua Molan paused, “our goal is to find the location of the Abyss crystal first. If we attack head-on, we might alert the enemy.”

"This is a last resort," Lin Chen nodded.

“There’s one more thing,” Li Zhanyi raised his hand, “Do you have any intelligence about the launch site where Miss tide Leina deployed Black Star VI?”

“Of course,” Hua Molan said.
