“Archbishop of Light from Charles City—Marlon Trellin! Suspected fourth-level occupational person!”

“Federal Eleventh Bureau branch, captain ‘Bull’ Harris, third-level!”

“Other powers: Blood Brotherhood, Dark Eagle Alliance…”

A series of information was reported by the old witch.

It seemed like the crystal ball in her hand was an information storage center, and she was the reader.

“Huh?”

After hearing a few sentences, Su Lu felt something was off.

The official transcendent power of Charles City was noticeably stronger than other cities.

He wasn’t sure if it was because of several nearby restricted areas, or because they needed to suppress the black market and a large number of wild Transcendents.

“Non-official Transcendent, ‘Butcher’ Gered, confirmed fourth-level, has a force known as the Gered Gang…”

The witch continued, making Su Lu frown, “Is Gered a native of Charles City?”

“Of course not…’

The old witch showed an unpleasant smile, “But he has a lot of business here! Would you say he counts? But recently, this gang has run into trouble, not only has ‘Iron Fist’ Rus been hunted, but they also suffered a terrible attack.”

“Hmm? What kind of attack?”

Su Lu was not at all surprised about Rus being hunted, but he wasn’t sure why this gang was attacked as well.

Could it be that the gang had finally encountered the top occupational person of Gaosuo people in the nature reserve and got knocked down? And were they chased all the way out?

But did those native Gaosuo people have the guts to commit murder in a federal city?

Su Lu was skeptical about this.

Being somewhat curious, he immediately asked.

“This is a part of the supplementary brief news, it costs extra!”

Replied the old witch.

“Sure!”

Su Lu nodded.

The old witch immediately hugged the crystal ball, her eyes rolled back, somewhat similar to when Su Lu was in a soul trance.

But Su Lu knew that she was communicating with certain entities, maybe other witches from different places?

Could these crystal balls be communicators between them?

“The Gered Gang had been rampaging in Gaosuo’s protected area… but their actions provoked the Gaosuo people, who released a vengeful spirit and cursed the Gered Gang… The vengeful spirit will kill all the bandits who have spilled Gaosuo blood, leaving none alive!”

“Gered lost many of his men. He managed to escape from the protected area with only a few people, but it was no use… it seemed like the vengeful spirit had pinned them down and started hunting them down…”

The old witch said in a mystic tone. “What kind of cursed spirit?”

Su Lu’s curiosity was truly piqued now.

Forces such as the Gaosuo people that could last for years always had some hidden cards.

It seems Gered really messed up this time.

“That is… the Nightmare of Kangni State, an Evil Spirit Knight from the Abyss of Hell…”

The old witch’s expression was a bit terrified, “It… comes from Hell, rides a Nightmare warhorse, gallops through people’s dreams…”

“Evil Spirit Knight?”

This was unexpected for Su Lu. So the legend from Kangni State originated from the Gaosuo people.

As for Hell, this word in Common Hebrew refers to an unknown place filled with fear and horror, sometimes synonymous with Abyss.

“Pursuit in a dream? That’s interesting…”

Su Lu stroked his chin.

He just learned that the Evil Spirit Knight wasn’t a real knight, but a nightmare spirit!

“Indeed… such high-level spiritual bodies can’t help but interact with the second layer of the Spirit World… It could be even a Cursed Spirit, no wonder Gered has no way to deal with it!”

Cursed Spirits are immortal and difficult to seal, and if their level is even higher, even a fourth-rank professional may not be able to handle them.

“Gered is a fourth-rank, if it’s able to completely suppress him, then the Evil Spirit Knight must be at least fourth-rank…”

After contemplating for a moment, Su Lu’s eyes suddenly brightened, “I need the closest hideout of Gered’s gang! Preferably their main hideout!”

“Fifty Golden Dragons, and swear not to disclose that I leaked the information.”

Said the old witch immediately.

“Deal! ”

After the transaction, Su Lu randomly chose a black market exit.

Suburbs.

A wheat field.

In the thick fog, Su Lu’s figure gradually appeared. “So, I randomly appeared in the suburbs this time?” Su Lu looked around and set off on his journey.

His target, of course, was Gered’s gang!

To gain more experience, he needed to kill ‘experience monsters’. He didn’t dare to go to the restricted area surrounding Charles City, and hunting magical creatures also carried unknown risks.

Comparatively speaking, his best target was Gered’s gang, who he was already in conflict with and knew inside and out

Moreover, every single one of them in Gered’s gang was thoroughly wicked, so he wouldn’t feel remorse for killing them.

Of course, killing ordinary people would give him nearly no experience, but aside from a fourth-rank and two third-rank members in Gered’s gang, there were definitely many first and second-rank Transcendents, they would all add up to be a substantial reward.

Only when his own strength increases would he be qualified to solve his curse and face other dangers.

Besides, Su Lu was also somewhat curious about the Evil Spirit Knight.

Skull Bar.

Located in the western suburbs of Charles City, it operated a bar and lodging on the surface, but in reality, it was one of Gered’s gang’s hideouts.

Despite being midnight, the bar was still bustling. “Sparse population, it’s a good place for murder…”

Upon arriving, Su Lu couldn’t help but laugh.

If tens or hundreds of vears passed, this place mizht become a motor inn. With no residences around, even if someone was murdered, it would take some time before the police arrived.

“Gered does not have a main hideout, he has many nests that he moves within the range of Kangni State… but recently, he has come to Charles City!”

“This is due to the heavy casualties among his subordinates, as they needed to recuperate, possibly to replenish forces, or even to leverage the official power of Charles City, to block the Evil Spirit Knight?”

That Gaosuo people can manipulate Cursed Spirits surprised Su Lu.

After all, it’s not easy for anyone other than high-rank Demon Professionals or real demons to manage this.

However, he guessed that the Gaosuo people might not really control the Cursed Spirit; perhaps they just paid a heavy price and barely grasped some patterns of the Cursed Spirit’s actions to harness it.

Clatter! Clatter!

Just then, Su Lu was taken aback.

In the night, he saw a man in black riding a black horse and riding into the bar as if nobody else existed.

Boom! Boom!

The next moment, gunshots resounded.

“It definitely isn’t the Evil Spirit Knight… it’s a mortal! Wait a minute…”

He slipped to the side of the bar, just in time to see the black-clothed knight throw out a thug from a window and hoisting the bar owner by the collar into mid-air: “Gered’s goons…. tell me, where is Gered?”
