Chapter 722 Welcome to Twilight Street!

The autumn wind was bleak. A young female college student pushed a frail-looking boy in a wheelchair to the entrance of Huanghun Street.

Looking at the bandage wrapped around the other person's right arm, it was clear that the injury was not minor.

Such a young group occasionally attracts strange looks from passersby on the street.

Dusk Street is not a benevolent place; it possesses an order amidst chaos—an order that belongs only to itself.

Dusk Street was extremely averse to soldiers, who represented order, entering.

However, he welcomed all others without exception, which eventually led to a notorious mix of people in the twilight streets.

Although it is called a street, Huanghun Street is actually quite large.

Just like Meteor City in Hunter x Hunter, it occupies the size of a country.

While the area of ​​Twilight Street isn't quite exaggerated, it's still not small.

This place is a melting pot of all sorts of people; it welcomes almost anyone except government officials and police. However, not everyone can leave here unscathed.

A short while after arriving here, Hua frowned.

Hua felt at least five unfriendly gazes coming from all directions within just ten seconds of standing at the entrance of Twilight Street. These gazes made Hua want to adopt a defensive posture, but he was unable to do so due to Chen Luo's orders.

According to Chen Luo, he came here to see if there were any promising talents.

To be frank, the most important thing about coming to this twilight street is probably ensuring one's own safety.

Although I don't know what Chen Luo is doing here, all I need to do is protect Chen Luo's safety.

From this moment on, I must make sure I never leave Chen Luo's side.

"Hua, could you buy me a map of Twilight Street? I'll pay you back later," Chen Luo suddenly said to Hua.

"Ah? No need for money. I've been staying at the Flamemoth and haven't had anywhere to spend my money, so I've saved up quite a bit. It's just a map, no need to be so polite. But Doctor... Lord, do you mean I should go alone?" Wah paused for a moment before asking.

“Of course. Look, Twilight Street is just ahead. I haven’t entered Twilight Street yet, so it’s better for you to buy the map by yourself and then take me in, rather than pushing me in with you. Otherwise, I might get attacked while you’re busy buying things and haggling over prices,” Chen Luo said.

“But if we leave you here, you might be attacked. And Bo… Luo, since you know that Twilight Street is so dangerous, why did you still come?” Hua asked, somewhat puzzled.

"I'm just here to take a look. I've always been interested in this place, but I've never been here before. I've heard that it's a place where many talented people come from. As for my safety, you don't need to worry. I'm currently outside Twilight Street. In well-known communities like this, the order is often much tighter than in normal communities."

"It should be relatively safe before I step into Twilight Street. And don't be too prejudiced against Twilight Street; maybe it's just been demonized. Twilight Street itself is actually quite nice. And don't underestimate me; I've practiced martial arts," Chen Luo said.

"Besides, even if you don't believe me, you have to believe in Vervi's invention. This wheelchair has a firepower system."

At Chen Luo's insistence, Hua walked towards the entrance of Twilight Street, and after thinking for a moment, headed toward a stall at the entrance.

There was a banner hanging next to that stall.

Welcome to Twilight Street

After watching Hua walk towards the stall, Chen Luo pulled out a bottle of golden potion from somewhere and quietly tossed it aside.

Just as the potion was about to land on the ground behind Chen Luo, it suddenly stopped in mid-air, as if someone had caught it in their hand.

Immediately afterwards, the potion faded away and disappeared.

"Take this bottle of medicine. When I find a suitable place later, remember to put it into the water source there," Chen Luo said in a low voice.

"Yes, Master." A soft reply rang in Chen Luo's ears.

"Master, when can you give me a puppet form?" But suddenly the voice rang out again, with a question in its tone.

"Oh, what's the rush? Yesterday was so short, there wasn't time to turn you all into puppets. Besides, I always need to leave a few assassins around to help me, right? Don't worry, I'll allocate you more faith power later," Chen Luo said quietly.

"Understood, sir."

"I'm really curious. Everyone else avoids talking about things like dollification, so why are you all so eager to do it?" Chen Luo was genuinely curious.

"Perhaps it's just because they feel it's unfair. Why is it that someone who is merely a Servant, just one aspect of us Heroic Spirits, is far stronger than us? And if they could improve their strength further, perhaps they could gain that person's approval."

"And this matter is irreversible, isn't it? An assassin is ultimately a knife, and a knife must have a master. As the one who summoned us, you are undoubtedly that person."

"Moreover, we know that since you, my lord, did not choose from so many powerful Heroic Spirits, but instead chose us as the third Heroic Spirit to be summoned, your intentions, combined with the Assassins' current increase in strength, are self-evident." After saying this, the being hidden in the shadows did not speak again.

"..."

It must be said that although Hassan the Hundred-Faced was not very strong, he was at least quite intelligent.

This doesn't refer to intelligence, but rather to the insightful understanding of human nature gained after experiencing many dark events.

It was worth it for Chen Luo to use his third Spirit Origin to summon the Heroic Spirit Hassan with a Hundred Faces.

The first spirit origin summoned is Enkidu. He is currently taking a glittering stroll in the Paradise World.

The being summoned by Zero Boundary #2 is Bavanshi, who is currently accompanying Morgan through his online classes. Chen Luo specifically recommended sociology to Morgan, hoping to show this king, who doesn't understand human nature, the most correct way to govern a country.

The assassin summoned by Spirit Origin No. 3 is the one currently following Chen Luo.

Hassan the Hundred-Faced Man.

The Assassin that Chen Luo snatched from Kirei Kotomine is the same Heroic Spirit.

The only difference is that the assassins who were turned into puppets by Chen Luo in the Holy Grail War are Servants, while the ones following behind Chen Luo now are Heroic Spirits.

Chen Luo only found out later that what he summoned with his Spirit Origin was not a Servant, nor did it have a class; it was a true Heroic Spirit.

The opponent's strength had already reached the level of someone who died in life, and with the added bonus of various achievements and legends, he had become even more powerful.

Logically speaking, a Spirit Origin cannot summon the same Heroic Spirit, but Chen Luo's original Assassin was not a Heroic Spirit, but a Servant.

Especially since the other party was not a complete assassin, because one of them had already been killed by Gilgamesh, who was acting, before Chen Luo took them all as his puppets.

That's right, it's the one that got killed as soon as it appeared.

Therefore, strictly speaking, Chen Luo does not possess the complete Assassin Servant, which is why Chen Luo was able to summon the Hundred-Faced Hassan Heroic Spirit.

Hassan the Hundred Faces did not disappoint Chen Luo's expectations; he did indeed have the ability to create nearly a hundred personalities.

In addition, the opponent has some skills that the Servant Assassin does not have.

It's sometimes impossible to tell whether a Heroic Spirit or its original body before death is stronger.

Those extremely extraordinary beings from the Age of Gods are examples of beings whose physical forms are stronger than Heroic Spirits.

However, a Heroic Spirit must be stronger than oneself in Servant form.

According to Chen Luo's estimation, after gaining the opportunity to evolve into a puppet, and with the power of faith to download various abilities from the group network, the dozens of clones of the Hundred-Faced Hassan might reach the level of the best among the S-class.

Of course, this refers to the opponent's potential for assassination and stealth; their direct combat strength is still not very promising. Their chances of winning against a normal S-class talent would be slim.

However, Hassan with a hundred faces also has the potential to evolve, namely, to increase the upper limit of the number of personality splits that the other party can have.

Perhaps one day, Hassan with a hundred faces will become Hassan with a thousand faces.

In fact, if Chen Luo were to evolve the complete Hundred-Faced Hassan, it might increase the upper limit of the personalities that Hundred-Faced Hassan could differentiate.

However, this would reduce the amount of evolution each individual would gain, and they would probably not be able to split their clones back into two clones.

Therefore, it's more profitable to create individual puppets.

In short, exchanging for Hundred-Faced Hassan is a sure-fire way to make money, it's just a pity that you can only exchange for one.

After speaking with his servant, Hassan the Hundred Faces, the summoned Hassan decisively chose to have Chen Luo turn them into puppets.

Besides gaining various powers, Bai Mao also clearly understood that Chen Luo summoned them with the intention of turning them into puppets.

Otherwise, wouldn't summoning a beautiful and powerful Heroic Spirit be far better than this useless Hassan himself?

Bai Mao can currently divide his personality into a maximum of 80 personalities, and Chen Luo has already turned 70 of them into puppets.

Chen Luo temporarily kept the remaining 10 unlucky guys, not because he didn't trust them, but because the enhanced Hassan with the purchased skills might not be able to control his power, which could lead to his stealth being discovered.

This is why Chen Luo chose to personally hand over the doll imprint to the other party, rather than letting the other party retrieve it within the group network.

“Doctor… Luo, perhaps I really should change my opinion of Twilight Street. You’re right, being prejudiced is indeed irresponsible towards others.” Hua walked up to Chen Luo with a map in hand.

"Oh, why do you say that?" Chen Luo asked curiously.

“Normally, a detailed map would cost around 30 yuan. I thought I might get ripped off when visiting a place like Huanghun Street, and be charged over 100 yuan. But in fact, they only charged me 10 yuan, and even included a beautifully made guidebook. I looked at it, and the guidebook was very well made.”

Hua's face showed a thoughtful expression.

Perhaps it is because of unfounded rumors that Twilight Street has been demonized.

"Oh, really? Seriously, besides us, there are actually crazy people who would want to travel to Twilight Street." Chen Luo said incredulously.

However, looking at this map and tour guide that seem to have been prepared in advance, it's clear that there really is such a lunatic.

"Doctor..." Hua hesitated, unable to finish his sentence.

Is it really okay to talk about yourself like that?

In reality, Huanghun Street doesn't seem that bad.

“Well, having two such cheap and beautiful maps is certainly helpful, but the question is, Hua, how much money do you have left?” Chen Luo asked Hua after putting down the maps.

"How much money do I have? Let me see... Wait, where's my wallet?"

Hua panicked when she discovered her wallet was missing.

"It was just here a moment ago. What should we do now, Doctor? There's a photo of me and the captain in that wallet... It must have been the stall owner who did it. I'm going to confront him right now!" Hua said angrily.

"Wait, this time you can push me over there too," Chen Luo said.

"But……"

"No buts."

"..." Hua hesitated for a moment, then pushed Chen Luo over with him, and then came to the stall with the slogan "Welcome to Twilight Street".

"Manager, please give me back my wallet," Hua Qiang said to the middle-aged woman at the stall, barely containing his anger.

The middle-aged woman had a very kind face, which may be why she was chosen as the face of the business.

"What are you saying? I don't understand. Young lady, did you drop your wallet somewhere?" the female stall owner asked, somewhat puzzled.

"I'll say it again, give it back to me. You can take the money, but you must return the photos to me," Hua said after taking a deep breath.

As a girl who grew up in a martial arts school, I don't know much about these intricacies, but I do know them.

“Young lady, if you say that, you’re making a bit of an accusation. When did we steal your wallet?” The female stall owner seemed to grow impatient at Hua’s questioning, looking as if she had been wronged.

Then the man who had been sitting in the shadows stood up and walked to the stall, revealing his muscular physique.

"Of all the people on Twilight Street, I only came to your place, and this is the very edge of the street. If it wasn't your people who stole it, then who was it?" Hua couldn't hold back any longer and said bluntly.

"I see, you want to cause trouble, right?" The stall owner suddenly realized, then gestured towards the burly man.

Upon seeing this, Hua immediately assumed a fighting stance, showing no fear whatsoever as the burly man approached.

"Hey! This is going to be fun." The burly man grinned menacingly.

Although the entrance to Dusk Street wasn't exactly bustling with people, there were still a few. However, they not only watched the current situation with indifference, but some even laughed out loud, as if mocking the newcomer's lack of manners and... the other person's beauty.

On Dusk Street, being beautiful is indeed a sin.

It's hard to imagine what will happen to the other party next.

"Hua." Just as Hua and the burly man were about to fight, Chen Luo suddenly called out to Hua.

"Lo..."

“You won’t get your wallet back if you do this,” Chen Luo said, shaking his head.

"But the photos..."

"It doesn't matter, I'll take care of it." Chen Luo pulled Hua's hand, who was standing in front of him, and shielded her behind him.

Chapter 723 The Sanatorium on Twilight Street

"Hey, ma'am..."

The middle-aged woman initially thought that Chen Luo was going to back down when she saw him stop Hua, but Chen Luo's words immediately enraged her.

"You brat, I'll smash your mouth!"

Upon hearing the middle-aged woman's words, the burly man took a step forward.

"Hey, hey, hey, this is broad daylight! Is there no law anymore? Aren't you afraid of the police?" Chen Luo said hurriedly.

"Police? There are police on Dusk Street? Ha, as expected, you know nothing about Dusk Street and come here to see some new brat." The middle-aged woman sneered.
