Their commission was suspicious.

With the support of countless black energies, the hooded man's strength seemed to have increased even further. This time, he actually managed to break free from Yvette's trampling after using all his strength.

"Roar!" The hooded man let out a roar that sounded inhuman.

"The aura of the Abyss Plane? It really is a spy?" Upon seeing the countless black wisps, the talented individual's expression became even more tense.

The gifted individual never expected that this hooded man was actually a spy, and a dimensional spy from the Abyss Dimension who had been turned against his own side.

This made things complicated.

That's right, the hooded man in front of us is a triple agent! A member of the Inquisition, a traitor to the Abyss, and a member of another special organization.

The hooded man, seemingly under the influence of drugs, still harbored a deep obsession with Chen Luo, and charged towards him, his body emanating terrifying black energy.

But he had only run a couple of steps when Yvette, wielding a spiked club, knocked him to the ground with one blow.

Yvette, with the spiked club slung over her shoulder, stepped back onto the hooded man's back and took out an angel feather, inserting it into the back of his neck.

Under the suppression of the feathers radiating a mysterious and dazzling light, the hooded man finally calmed down.

"Now you believe me, right? He really is a spy from the Abyss Plane. His purpose is probably to incite conflict between the Church and relevant departments in China, and to deplete their internal resources," Yvette said to the A-level talent who was blocking Chen Luo's way.

"It really is... This makes things even more complicated."

"But it's still unclear which faction from the Abyss Plane sent him. Does the relevant department have any records of visitors from the Abyss Plane to the Spiritual Plane?" Yvette asked.

“Visitors from the Abyss Plane… Yes, there really are! Four of them arrived in Xinghai City this morning! They seem to be fox clan members from Baidi City!” The gifted young man slapped his thigh and said.

"Go with them to the relevant department later and help them remove the third layer of mental suggestion from the hooded man." Chen Luo whispered to Merlin as he watched Yvette and the gifted young man discussing how to deal with the spy and how to face the guests from Baidi City.

"Huh?" Merlin was somewhat surprised.

"What do you mean 'huh'? I summoned you because of your illusion magic expertise, right? Or what else? To have you take a hit for me?"

"Hmm, isn't that right?"

Chapter 1254 Bai Qiqi is back, Bai Qiqi has been arrested...

Chen Luo invited the A-level talent into his home, and then began filming the miserable state of his house.

Although only the living room of Chen Luo's house was damaged, because there was an extra barrier in the living room that blocked the explosion and kept it within the living room, it still caused serious damage to Chen Luo's house, and someone would have to pay compensation.

Who will ultimately pay the compensation depends on who gets arrested.

After the A-level talent finished filming Chen Luo's dire situation, Chen Luo placed the healing cocoon he had prepared in a box and handed it to him.

"This is your Abyss Daily Report. On behalf of the relevant authorities, I strongly condemn the terrorist attack from the Abyss dimension! The relevant authorities will definitely make them pay the price!"

Holding the box containing several healing pills, the newsboy assured Chen Luo.

As a close partner of the relevant departments, and by providing a large number of healing cocoons at low prices, Chen Luo is of great importance to the relevant departments and to the entire nation.

What if an unlucky S-class talent is on their last breath and no one can save them? Wouldn't they still have to ask Chen Luo to use the resurrection spell? Who can guarantee that they won't be in mortal danger?

"We're back, so what exactly happened at home?" Just as the newsboy was about to leave, Bai Zhi and Su Yuan had already finished getting their ID cards and returned home.

Upon seeing Bai Zhi, the newsboy paused for a moment, then rushed over and began pointing and gesturing.

"Did the relevant departments pay you to be the Traveler's super-assistant bodyguard just to be a decoration? Did you know the Traveler was just attacked? What were you doing while he was being attacked? Were you taking his most important protector, the S-rank sword immortal Su Yuan, to get an ID card? Is there any bodyguard as outrageous as you?"

"You took out four 4s and two Kings? Why didn't you use four 3s to take out one 4? Based on your protection skills, I really have reason to suspect that you are not suitable to be Mr. Traveler's bodyguard at all! After I return to the relevant department, I will apply to the relevant department to terminate your bodyguard duties and find a new bodyguard for Mr. Traveler!"

Bai Zhi, having overheard the events unfolding amidst the newsboy's pointing and whispering, felt quite aggrieved, but still had no choice but to endure the whispers and whispers.

Bai Zhi was also innocent. Su Yuan didn't know where the police station was, nor did she understand the procedures. Shouldn't she, as her friend, take her there?

As for protecting Chen Luo?

Even if the Heavenly Emperor came, he would probably get slapped twice before leaving. Why would Chen Luo need anyone else to protect him?

Bai Zhi looked at Chen Luo with a hint of resentment.

Don't tell me you didn't know this would happen. Why didn't you tell me beforehand?

This is Bai Zhi's heartfelt sentiment.

But Chen Luo was also helpless. If Bai Zhi and Su Yuan didn't leave, the attacker would never come out. And if the attacker didn't come out, they couldn't make the most of him.

Of course, Chen Luo couldn't remain indifferent to the fact that Bai Zhi was being pointed at and gossiped about, so he stepped forward to try and calm the newsboy down.

Under Chen Luo's repeated insistence, the newsboy had no choice but to agree to stop talking about firing Bai Zhi, but also required Bai Zhi to submit a 3000-word self-criticism and promise not to make the same mistake again.

It's clear that this newsboy holds a fairly high position within the relevant department.

"What happened here?" When Liu Huaixi rushed back from the hospital where her mother was, she asked about the conspicuous explosion marks on Chen Luo's house.

"It's nothing, just an attack." Chen Luo didn't intend to say much about the matter, figuring Liu Huaixi's talent would explain it to her.

“I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly. Although this spy is not a member of the Inquisition in essence, since he attacked Mr. Traveler on this pretext, the Church cannot stand idly by,” Yvette said as she walked in from outside Chen Luo’s house.

Behind Yvette followed Sylvia, who was also looking worried.

Sylvia became even more agitated after discovering that the traitor from the Inquisition's body had not been controlled.

I hadn't noticed anything unusual about this traitor before, even though I'd seen him before.

However, after the person outside the door was tied up like a caterpillar and made sure to be completely subdued, Sylvia, who had just entered, turned her attention to Chen Luo.

"Xiao Ruo, are you alright?" Sylvia asked.

"It's Luo, not Ruo. You don't need to worry about the injuries. As a medical-type S-rank talent, I'm confident in my body. Thanks to my loved ones taking the hits, I wasn't hurt at all. Speaking of which, I really have to thank Merlin..."

Chen Luo looked at Merlin, who was standing idly to the side.

"Oh, so this is the illusion created by your [Imaginary Friend] prop? It looks just like a real person." Sylvia hid behind Chen Luo, watching Merlin walk towards them after hearing her name.

"What do you mean by 'fantasy friend'? I'm a real person, okay? A real person!" Merlin emphasized.

Because Merlin's emotional expressions and words were very similar to the real Merlin, and he was highly interactive, Sylvia and the newsboy were both quite curious.

In addition, Merlin kept emphasizing that he was really a real person...

“You don’t need to worry about it too much. After all, he’s just a figment of our imagination. Since I firmly believe he’s a real person, he naturally believes he’s also a real person, the real Merlin. Don’t tell him he’s an illusion in front of him anymore, it will hurt his pride,” Chen Luo said.

“That makes sense.” Sylvia and the newsboy both nodded.

Since it's a friend you've created in your imagination, it's perfectly normal for that imaginary friend to think they're a real person, right?

Just like everyone who has a fantasy friend firmly believes that their fantasy friend is a real person.

"I really am a real person," Merlin said, somewhat troubled.

When Chen Luo talked about the Book of Friends at the bar, he did not force everyone to pretend to be an illusion when they appeared.

This is the reason.

Because nobody believes it.

"Ah, yes, yes, you really are the real person." Chen Luo nodded.

"I..." Merlin hesitated, then gave up in despair.

The "Friend of Imagination" created by the consciousness of the Abyss Passage can indeed perfectly explain why Merlin is so real.

Since others have preconceived notions that Merlin is a friend of fantasy, no matter how Merlin tries to prove that he is a real person, he cannot prove that he is truly a real person.

Explaining to a normal person that you are not mentally ill but a normal person is itself abnormal!

"The items in the Abyss Passage are truly amazing," the newsboy could only remark in the end.

As the person who delivered the Abyss Daily to Chen Luo, the newsboy naturally saw the report in the newspaper about Chen Luo obtaining the item "Friend of Illusion".

It's likely that before long, information about Chen Luo possessing this item will be on the desks of every major power.

"Mr. Miracle Performer, do you have any other imaginary friends?" the newsboy asked curiously.

“Yes, of course I do. As you probably know, my resurrection spell has a relatively short cooldown, so even though I’ve only had this item for less than a day, I’ve already created several Fantasy Friends. However, since each Fantasy Friends requires one life, I won’t demonstrate it for you any further,” Chen Luo said.

"No, no need for a demonstration, it's too expensive," the newsboy quickly said.

An imaginary friend is worth a life; a newsboy wouldn't do something like that just to satisfy his curiosity.

Although resurrection is simple, the feeling of death must be unpleasant.

“But then again, it suddenly seems like we really should get you a different bodyguard. Since you’re a healer and summoner, we should have chosen someone with a stronger defensive focus.” But the newsboy’s gaze toward Bai Zhi started to look strange again.

"..."

Are you ever going to stop? Stop thinking about replacing me, okay?

Bai Zhi muttered to herself in frustration.

"No need, I'm very satisfied with Xiao Zhi as my bodyguard." Chen Luo shook his head.

"Besides, even if this imaginary friend is incredibly useful, it still requires a life, and I don't want to waste it if I can,"

“That’s true… Then I’ll take this spy, who’s been bewitched by the Abyss Plane, back to the relevant department for questioning. This attack must be taken seriously,” the newsboy said.

"Then I'll have to trouble you. I need to fix my house now, so I won't keep you any longer."

“Wait a minute,” Yvette suddenly said.

"what happened?"

“Chen Luo, right? Could you borrow your imaginary friend? I just discovered that this heretic seems to have some mental issues, and Merlin seems to be a master of illusion, so could you ask him for help? Maybe his abilities will be effective on this prisoner,” Yvette suddenly said.

"Of course you can, but this friend of mine isn't going to last forever, so remember to use it soon," Chen Luo reminded him.

Chen Luo's statement that this person was a triple agent proves that he truly was a triple agent, and that he carries an additional mental constraint. This constraint doesn't refer to the bureau chief's abilities, but rather to the psychological impact he has suffered.

Seeing that Chen Luo had sold himself to Yvette for a whole morning in just a few words, Merlin didn't feel any resistance.

Or rather, it's something you can't have what you want.

Merlin was quite curious about Chen Luo's world. Although when he was Chen Luo's Servant before, his Servant clone had come to visit, it was just a clone.

If I were to bring this up with Yukari Yakumo tonight, she'd be so jealous she'd faint.

Because Yukari Yakumo was also very curious about Chen Luo's world, the last time she was summoned by Chen Luo, Yukari Yakumo could only wander around in the Abyss Passage, but Merlin's treatment was obviously better than Yukari Yakumo's.

Anyway, since I've been eating and drinking for free at the bar every day, and I've also caused Chen Luo a lot of trouble during the Holy Grail War, it's no problem for me to repay Chen Luo's favor.

I owe Chen Luo quite a few favors, and repaying them might be a bit troublesome.

"Then thank you for your help, Mr. Chen Luo." Seeing Chen Luo so generously lending out his imaginary friend, the newsboy breathed a sigh of relief.

Since the mastermind was able to send attackers with mental shackles to attack Chen Luo, it shows that they are confident in their mental shackles. If the ability comes from imagination, it might have a special effect on this matter.

Fantasy friends are really useful...

Unfortunately, this life-threatening ability and item are only suitable for Chen Luo, who possesses the resurrection technique.

After watching Yvette and the newsboy leave with the attacker, Chen Luo turned to look at Sylvia beside him.

"Sister Sylvia, aren't you going back with your sister?" Chen Luo asked.

"No need, I believe Xiao Yi can handle this. Besides, I wouldn't be able to help even if I went."

"So, Xiao Ruo, are you interested in talking about what you've been through lately? How does it feel to go from an ordinary person to an S-level talent?" Sylvia's gaze swept over Chen Luo from head to toe.

Sylvia is very pleased with Chen Luo's current progress.

The boy he once was was not beaten down by society. After helping so many people, the world also favored him, allowing him to grow into an S-class talent who was even stronger than himself, and a medical type at that.

Wait, medical type?

"Speaking of which, Xiaoruo, do you have a habit of making handicrafts?" Sylvia asked, as if she had suddenly remembered something.

"Do dolls count?"

"Dolls? Figurines? You could call them that."

"That means it exists."

After receiving Chen Luo's affirmative answer, Sylvia's gaze towards Chen Luo began to slowly change.

Chen Luo ignored Sylvia's wild thoughts and focused his energy on something else.

Following Chen Luo's order, all the assassins who were able to leave the previous civilization put down what they were doing and began to return to the puppet world one by one.

Each assassin carried a vial of orange juice, and each also had a piece of intelligence detailing their assigned targets.

Although Chen Luo had anticipated that someone would attack him, that was not a reason for him to let it go!

If they dare to attack me today, they might kidnap my parents tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow they might attack the celestial realm... This is outrageous!

Threats should be nipped in the bud.
