Chapter 39 Shocking Encounter- Clown!

Once again, Legolas's experience came for the rescue.

From the information that Sophia revealed, he found some loopholes. Mr. Keane's mansion was heavily protected by superhuman warriors, there were literally no ways of infiltrating unless there was an insider.

The only other reason for infiltration was if this assassin was a Grade C superhuman which was highly unlikely at the current stage of the game world.

Legolas's first task that he took on was doing a background sweep of all the guards of the mansion.

It took him 3 full hours, but he succeeded and got what he wanted, and from personally stalking and meeting most of them, he confirmed that none of them were responsible for the betrayal.

With this side unfruitful, Legolas switched to his 2nd loophole that was connected to the first. Of all the people that Mr. Keane met on that day, Governor Bam was the only one who stayed long enough to sabotage him.

Also, Governor Bam and his subordinates were the ones responsible for organizing the mansion's security measures against assassinations like this.

All these clues made Legolas label the Governor as a suspect.

The reason that slightly stalled his measures though was that the Governor was a powerful Grade E Pugilist. With this warrior's sharp instincts, the Governor would know miles ahead if he tried following him.

Now, Legolas had to weigh it if it was worth exposing himself just to get one desperate opportunity to interrogate this Governor or to try the longer route of meeting all the Governor's subordinates.

"Damn, that guy is too powerful to try subtle means with".

"Such a pain". Legolas soon made his decision.

Instead of going after the Governor, he took the longer route and started meeting all the Governor's subordinates one at a time.

Due to his experience and subtle measures, the warriors were unable to notice his presence as he stalked them, researched them, and learned about them.

In no time, Legolas finished a dozen but more warriors were still ahead.

…

5 hours later when it was already night with the sun back to its hideout, Legolas was still hard at work as he fought his tiredness and stalked a warrior.

Having worked his way up from the least important subordinate, Legolas was now stalking the 3rd ranked and most important superhuman warrior in the Governor's subordinate hierarchy.

Just a few minutes of stalking and Legolas noticed something wrong with this Grade F superhuman warrior. This warrior deliberately took roundabout routes to confirm that he was not being followed before entering a bar.

Inside this bar, he met with a hooded man where they conversed and whispered some things that Legolas was unable to make sense of.

Legolas only caught one sentence. "We'll meet at the Theater of Laughter".

"Theater of laughter…, what is that?" Legolas was confused.

This strange name rang a bell in his head, but he was not superman. Even with his intelligence, he could also forget, he didn't remember what this sentence indicated but the fact that it rang a bell made him remain alert.

Once the meeting ended, Legolas had the option of either following the hooded warrior or the Governor's subordinate.

Having noticed that the hooded warrior was a Grade E warrior already, he opted to continue following the Governor's subordinate.

Another 3 hours continued like this until it was deep into the night. This was when the Governor's subordinate woke up and sneaked out of his home.

He sneaked a great distance to a remote corner of the prefecture close to the seashore before disappearing. Legolas was not confused though, having kept a close eye on him, he knew that the warrior left through a secret door.

The reason why he didn't follow immediately was that he already recognized that he was in enemy territory. "Things moved smoother than I expected".

"But…," Legolas's eyes narrowed. "Why does this hideout layout seem so familiar?" The feeling of déjà vu was stronger than ever now.

To keep himself unseen and invisible, Legolas spent 20 minutes finding all the guards spying the entrance to the hideout.

After getting their locations, with his experience, he easily found the blind spot where he could take inside without being seen and which time to take it.

Once the window of opportunity opened, Legolas was sharp and took it.

Creak!

With a slight sound, the secret door that was covered with leaves finally opened as Legolas succeeded in infiltrating the camp of the enemy.

What appeared after the secret door was a long winding staircase that led downwards, the deeper it went, the darker it became.

-----

You have equipped common weapon: Automatic Pistols: G-96

…

Special Bullet available: Chaotic Mana Bullets

>Clip Capacity: 32/40<

----

Having come prepared, now fully relying on his Agent subclass, Legolas equipped his pair of common Pistols before finally moving down the staircase.

On getting to the end of the staircase, Legolas saw an empty underground hall with a massive occultic circle drawn in the middle.

Around this circular occultic drawing were warriors, about 18 superhuman warriors at different positions around the circle.

At this moment, these superhuman warriors were all kneeled with a fervent expression on their face as they seemed to start praying to their god.

2 minutes later, the void in the middle of the occultic drawing flickered before a massive projection appeared the next moment.

As soon as this massive projection appeared, Legolas did not have the time to get a clear look as he was spooked after experiencing a familiar feeling.

-----

You have been swept by an energy check

----

Instantly after the energy check, the massive projection turned as a pair of eyes turned in that direction but no one was there, Legolas already hid.

The projection looked for 5 seconds before losing interest as he turned back to his 18 fervent psychopaths before bestowing them with his sermon.

With his back against the wall, shielding him from the energy check, Legolas felt his back fill up with cold sweat. "A Grade C- expert!"

An energy check was like the soul search of cultivators in famous cultivation novels and it could only be used by high-grade superhuman warriors.

During his heyday as a Grade A Summoner, Legolas's Summoner energy check could search a region spanning kilometers.

"Who is this expert?"

Legolas's mind ran wild instantly as he wondered what he just got himself into and the real identity of this strange Grade C- expert. He was not sure of the expert's exact grade, but he was definitely above the Grade D realm.

Occultic drawings, fervent worshippers, they all rang a bell but due to the shock of meeting an expert, his brain could not settle enough to think.

Legolas's train of thought was interrupted when this projection finally spoke.

"My fervent psychopaths, the day will soon be upon us".

"The day that we've all wet-dreamed about, the day of freedom, the day of chaos, the day where the revolution begins, the day where the order of Kings, Queens, Governors, and anything order is torn down".

"The day where the revolution to restore the world back to chaos begins".

"The day where the worship of chaos returns".

"All hail chaos!" One of the fervent worshippers could not hold back his excitement as he yelled, interrupting the projection's speech.

The atmosphere instantly turned chilly. "A psychopath interrupted me?"

On hearing this, in his hideout behind the wall, Legolas felt the sweat on his back increasing as the feeling of déjà vu in him increased.

"A f*cking psychopath interrupted me?"

"Hahaha…, hehehe…, hohoho…"

As the projection laughed like a maniac, Legolas felt goosebumps all over his body as the feeling of déjà vu increased all the more.

"Hehehe…"

The next moment, the projection snapped a finger as the head of the warrior who interrupted him erupted in flames.

As this poor warrior cried out in pain to death, the projection seemed to start a competition to try outlasting the warrior's cries of pain with his laughter.

"Hehehe…, hohoho…"

Amid his crazy laughter, the projection finally disappeared.

By now, Legolas's goosebumps already reached its peak as he already recognized who this was, he let himself slip and muttered. "Clown!"

"Who is there?"

Legolas felt his heart chill.
