Catastrophe Card King

“We’re here!”

Someone exclaimed lightly, and Leonard Churchill looked out the window.

Surrounding them, an eerie and pitch-black wilderness spread out. The headlights illuminated some low mounds that looked like graves. On these mounds were some desolate trees, their branches covered with mysterious birds that could be crows. A faint mist permeated the air.

Nothing special, this was the eerie solitude one could expect in a deserted

wilderness.

Leonard’s gaze turned to where the lights converged. An explosion had occurred in front of the railway track, and a steam train with over ten cars was flipped over haphazardly on the ground.

It looked like someone had blown up the railway in front, causing the tram to

derail and overturn.

Robbing supply trains was not an unusual occurrence in the Sinless City.

Especially when plundering the goods of the upper-class nobles. Although the risks were high, the profits were substantial.

The city’s gangs all enjoyed committing such acts.

Similar incidents had happened before. For corpse collectors, they were considered beneficial.

But this time, as soon as they arrived at the scene, everyone sensed that something was off.

After getting off the vehicle, Leonard scanned the scene only once, and immediately spotted an anomaly.

The battle was already over.

Over fifty bodies were scattered on the ground, but the traces of battle did not

look intense.

Logically speaking, since the looters had blown up the railway, they should have been prepared for robbery, so why did so many people die?

Moreover, although the goods from the train were scattered near the tracks, they had not been robbed.

It was called a robbery, but it looked more like a one-sided slaughter.

Were the so-called “looters” a bunch of chickens who overestimated their

abilities?

Obviously not.

Leonard looked at several bodies in front of him, the fatal wounds were smooth cuts across the chest, even cutting through the mechanical exoskeletons.

This was the wound caused by a widespread wind type card.

He immediately came to a conclusion in his mind: “At least a second-tier Wind

Curse Card Master was responsible.”

Looking at the traces of battle in the distance, there were obviously traces of fire and thunder elemental cards exploding.

Clearly, there wasn’t just one expert.

It seemed that the unlucky looters didn’t know that there were high-level curse card masters on the train. They blew up the railway and wanted to rob it, but they were counter-killed.

Leonard immediately thought of the key point.

Why would there be multiple high-level card masters on a cargo tram?

Could it be that this train was special?

Before he had time to think more, the roaring sound of steam boilers suddenly came from afar.

Looking closely, another convoy appeared on the north side of the railway

tracks.

The convoy was fast, and in a blink of an eye, it was clear that it was an elite

legion.

The “Long Spear and Double Headed Falcon Clan Emblem” of the Miller Family

was on the side of their vehicles.

As soon as Leonard saw this, his pupils contracted, it was likely that this was

not an ordinary robbery case.

Seeing this convoy, team leader Dexter muttered to himself, “Strange, why did the Frost Knight Legion come from the governor’s mansion?

Because they, as corpse collectors, received timely information and drove desperately quickly, they were essentially the first to arrive at the scene.

They even arrived before the elite legion from the governor’s mansion.

The Corpse Collectors watched the armored military convoy consisting of more than a dozen vehicles armed to the teeth racing towards them with expressions of puzzlement.

Before the armored vehicles drew near to the derailment site and even before they stopped, a group of majestic heavily armored soldiers emerged from the vehicles.

Nearly a hundred of them guarded the overturned carriages.

Majestic, well-trained, disciplined…

This was a regular army, quite different from the ragtag appearance of the hunters in the Sinless City.

Leonard took another look at the excellent white armor on those guys. He thought of something he had heard of.

These were the famous “Frost Knights”.

The Miller Family had an orderly way of advancing through the Spade 6-Punishment Iron Guard, and these heavy armored soldiers were the private guards trained under this route by the Miller family, with extremely strong combat power.

It was rumored that they could fight ten enemies alone during legion combat.

He had heard about this when he was gathering information before.

Normally, for such a train robbery, a few law enforcement officers would be enough to deal with it. But now, an entire escort legion has arrived?

Seeing this, Leonard’s confusion turned into understanding. It seemed like he had remembered something, and he murmured to himself: “It seems like some bigwigs’ shady business has been hit inadvertently. Tsk, it’s getting more and more interesting…”

Minister Viv Shepherd was very experienced and well-liked in the Golden Oak

Security Company.

As soon as he arrived, the few field agents from the headquarters who had got there before him all greeted him. “Old Brother Viv, you came pretty quick.

We’ve just arrived, and here you are.”

Viv Shepherd smiled, then pointed to the governor’s mansion convoy in the distance and casually asked, “Old Ma, what’s the situation over there?”

With people from the governor’s mansion intervening, their people from Golden Oak seemed superfluous.

But the company and the Upper City had an ambiguous relationship, not exactly enemies, at most considered neutral, with no conflicts.

The leading field agent shrugged, “I don’t know either. But it looks like there may be some bigwig from the Upper City on the train.”

“Oh.”

Hearing this, Viv Shepherd also shrugged, not too curious.

Secrets involving high-ranking nobility were not something people at their level could inquire about, nor did they have the interest.

Corpse collectors, due to the nature of their job, often come into contact with some special murder scenes.

Like the incident in the basement on Tailor Street last time.

But this time, it was a little different.

Leonard sensed a hint of conspiracy.

But far from feeling uneasy, he felt a slight tingling sensation at his scalp.

That familiar feeling… it had returned.

Leonard’s gaze was fixed on the people from the governor’s mansion.

Not only him, everyone was curious about what exactly had happened.

Not long after, the puzzle was solved.

As soon as the Governor’s Guard Legion arrived, a toppled compartment suddenly lit up with dozens of complex magic defensive barriers.

Everyone then realized that it was a special compartment disguised as a freight

car.

The heavy armored door of the compartment opened, and several well-equipped frost knights escorted a middle-aged man with a mustache and a big belly walked out.

As soon as this man with the mustache appeared, the frost knights and law enforcement officers who had rushed to reinforce all knelt down and saluted respectfully, “Governor sir!”

This voice echoed in the deserted dark cemetery, making it exceptionally

harsh.

The governor?

When Leonard Churchill saw this, he finally understood that Governor Stan

Miller himself was on the train!

No wonder why the elite guards from the Governor’s Mansion had all come.

But why would the respected Governor of Sinless City and the Federal Congressman secretly hide in a cargo train?

And the invaders happened to blow up the train where the governor was hiding?

in a flash, his eyes were filled with interest, “It’s getting more and more

interesting…”

Leonard Churchill was just guessing which big man from the Miller family would be in the car, but he didn’t expect it to be the most important one.

With the current situation, it would be strange if something didn’t happen.

If something were to happen to the Miller family, he’d be thrilled!

After all, the fourth master of Miller family was chasing him all over the city.

If his father were to die now…

Tsk, tsk, Sinless City is going to be quite lively.

Thinking of this, Leonard Churchill didn’t rush forward to recover the bodies near the train like the other corpse collectors, but instead quietly backed up a distance.

His intuition told him that something was about to happen.

Indeed.

At the moment the governor appeared, there was a shout from the distance.

“Everyone, beware! The alternate dimension is coming!”

This was the Eastern Outskirts wilderness, only a small corner in the darkness was lit up by the lamps. Before the voice had finished, everyone saw that the diffusing dark fog outside the lights was flood-like, rushing over.

The speed was so fast that there was no chance to drive away.

Before everyone could think, the fog had already swallowed all the lights.

The surroundings suddenly became pitch black.

The fog came quickly and disappered instantly.

With such a large area covered, there was simply no way to avoid it.

But when their sight cleared, Leonard Churchill looked around at the changing environment, tilted his head: “Really got sucked in, huh?”

Just now, it was the crime scene of a railway cemetery, now they were in the middle of a giant underground labyrinth.

This was the Alternate Dimension-The Grand Cemetery Labyrinth that Dexter and his team had mentioned before.

Without a light source, the visibility was very low, barely able to see some vague outlines.

The surrounding area was covered by rock walls that were at least a hundred meters high and black, and could not be seen from the top. The passages in the labyrinth were all more than 30 meters wide, which showed how large the labyrinth was.

Leonard Churchill’s brows were furrowed in thought.

Obviously.

They, the corpse collectors, were caught up in an attack targeting the governor.

Unexpected?

Probably.

But certainly not entirely.

The path of Joker was chosen by Leonard himself.

It seemed that only during these times, could he feel that his soul was no longer silent like the ashes.

-You have entered the ‘Grand Cemetery Maze\'”

“The maze death rate: 29.4%”

“Disaster Level evaluated: D”

“Space exploration progress: 47-i°/°”

“Keyword: Puzzle-solving”

“Mission: You need to find the correct exit in the maze filled with skeleton creatures”

“Clue: Three thousand years ago, three hundred thousand laborers were killed and their resentment formed an inescapable maze…

Seeing the enlightenment appear, Leonard’s expression showed some contemplation.

After all, this is a primary space, and the known information is other than being trapped, the difficulty of this maze is not high.

Although Leonard did not have the maze strategy information from the Hunter’s Association, he was not worried at all.

D level difficulty, if others can get out, there is no reason why he couldn’t.

Instead, he was wondering: “Do they plan to trap Governor Miller in the maze and then kill him?”

The maze is full of low-tier skeleton monsters, theoretically, they could not pose a threat to the frost knight legion.

Leonard quickly calculated in his heart, inferred the man behind the scene’s idea, but also exclaimed: “That’s wrong…The assassination of the governor is such a grand scheme, there should be some gimmicks. Besides, waiting for the frost knight legion to come before making a move, seems like they want to eliminate all at once. Just the maze is not enough.”

In Sinless City, no matter who you assassinate, it probably cannot cause a bigger disturbance than assassinating the governor.

And a grand show usually opens with a stunningly gorgeous beginning.

The current start of the game was far from matching such a big play.

Whether it was his own bad luck or the mastermind behind the scenes didn’t disappoint, enlightenment appeared for the second time.

“Hidden plot triggered: The intruders have triggered the dormant mechanism of the maze, the stone door is closed, and the exit of the maze is locked. The Eternal ‘Keepers of Secrets’ have awakened. They will wander in the maze and kill all living humans.”

The disaster level has become “Unknown” once again.

“As expected.”

Seeing this, Leonard’s eyes slightly narrowed.

This is how he felt the proper way to embark on this great assassination..
