I've Become the King of Villains in the Game-Chapter 455 - 317: The Dairy Cow of the BOSS Template

Chapter 455: Chapter 317: The Dairy Cow of the BOSS Template

Chen Lun, wearing a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, came back to Alec.

He sat on the chairs previously occupied by two workers and observed the corpses on the ground that had turned into black dust due to corruption.

‘They suddenly transformed into creatures resembling Fallen Believers. Was it because of the dried meat they had just eaten? The beef cultivated by Dolim, turned into dried meat after slaughter…’

Chen Lun thought to himself.

He flicked out a card, cutting the ropes on Alec and asked,

“Why do you say that you cannot be captured?”

...

Alec stood up, stretching his limbs, and gave an awkward smile.

“Hey! I still have many great endeavors unfinished; how can I spend a lifetime in prison?”

Chen Lun looked at him with a meaningful gaze.

Alec then picked up a harmonica from the ground and dusted off his clothes.

“Great bard Alec, his journey has only completed a small part; he cannot just stay stuck here… What do you say, Jack? Care to travel the world with me? Your name could be promoted alongside Alec’s by people everywhere.”

Alec’s expression was very excited, and his tone slightly fanatical.

Chen Lun directly ignored his words.

The smile on his face cooled slightly as the Silver Staff spun, its spiraled serpent tail spike stopping at Alec’s throat.

“Why do you know my name? I don’t seem to recall telling you… And about those two workers who turned into monsters, you weren’t frightened, why? My intuition tells me, you seem familiar with all of this…”

Chen Lun asked in a flat tone.

Alec chuckled dryly and tried to push the staff away from his throat but found it immovable, as if the Silver Staff in Chen Lun’s hand was embedded in cement.

‘This bard seems like an ordinary person, but he always gives me an uneasy feeling… What secret is he hiding?’

Chen Lun silently wondered.

Seeing the indifferent expression on Chen Lun’s face, Alec finally sighed, raised his hands helplessly, and said,

“Dreams! It’s dreams… that told me, whether it’s your name or anything else, I’ve seen it all in a dream.”

“Dreams?”

Chen Lun was somewhat surprised.

He recalled ‘Dream Divination,’ but in fact, this was not a capability limited to the Path of Destiny; other paths like Constellation, Nature, and Magic could also use dreams for divination, as sleep inherently involves mystique, making it a useful medium.

Yet, he was puzzled that Alec, as an ordinary person without any trace of mystique, could receive various omens and guidance through dreams… Could it be because of some extraordinary innate talent, or some unusual characteristic not possessed by ordinary people?

“Hey, Jack, let me tell you quietly… I’ve actually known there’s something wrong with this agricultural area. That farmer, Dolim, is involved with a cult organization known as ‘The End’s Cocoon.’ They keep cultivating beef cattle, but there’s also a deeper purpose.”

Alec said in a low, mysterious voice.

“This involves the Red Apple Church… I’ll give you a heads up, the Red Calamity is about to enter a critical phase, also the most dangerous stage for the Empire. Perhaps countless people will die in this disaster.”

He shook his head, appearing somewhat emotional.

Chen Lun slowly withdrew the staff from Alec’s throat, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.

‘This bard definitely knows something… But if it’s as he says, then these events diverge significantly from my past life’s memories… Dolim’s involvement with The End’s Cocoon, and the major actions of the Red Apple Church, shouldn’t be happening so soon… How could the main timeline have advanced this much?’

He stared at Alec again, asking softly,

“Then let me ask you another question, what is your purpose here?”

Chen Lun stared into his eyes.

“Since you can receive omens from dreams, that to some extent could also be considered guidance from destiny… I don’t believe you haven’t seen me in your dreams.”

Alec’s expression suddenly became hesitant, and after opening his mouth uncertainly, he finally said,

“Um… I don’t know, but I just felt I had to come here, to meet you, Jack… and remind you of some things, like what I saw in my dreams.”

“You mean, you were actually waiting for me here intentionally…?”

Chen Lun raised an eyebrow.

Alec thought for a few seconds then hesitantly nodded.

“You could say that… cough, but being discovered was just an accident.”

Chen Lun once again felt that familiar atmosphere, the kind of clichéd ‘dreadful sense of destiny’ or some ‘deja vu of a mission.’ It was like when His Majesty Oscar had told him that Howard’s incarnation had died in the Wake of Insects bookmark because it was his destiny.

“Would you like to join my team, Alec?”

Chen Lun suddenly extended an invitation.

Alec was initially startled, then his face showed a proud expression.

“Ah, ha? Jack, are you inviting the great bard to join your little group?”

He waved his hand, laughing,

“Forget it, I don’t want to mess around with you guys because I have more important things to do… If you choose to follow me, I won’t refuse.”

“That’s not for you to decide.”

Chen Lun said flatly.

Alec was taken aback.

“Hmm?”

The next second, Chen Lun snapped his fingers.

Pop!

The “Mermaid’s Song” on his chest activated its hypnosis effect and directly controlled Alec, and then, holding the collar of Alec’s shirt, he used “Cloud Leap” and instantly appeared at the entrance of the main villa in the vineyard.

Soon, Floey and Golov were quick to sense Chen Lun’s unmistakable presence and came out to meet him.

Chen Lun threw Alec at their feet and said,

“Keep an eye on this guy, he’s going to be a new member of our circus, named Alec… Besides being good at Dream Divination, his only other skill might be boasting, so don’t let his words fool you.”

The reason Chen Lun had decided to bring Alec back was that he had many inscrutable mysteries about him that seemed to be closely connected with himself… However, since he was just an ordinary person, it was easy to just bring him back and observe slowly.

“Jack! I don’t like to boast! You’re slandering me!”

Alec cried out in pain and, rubbing his butt, he shouted loudly,

“And why did you have to capture me?! After I risked my life to give you some important warnings… and this is how you treat me!”

“I’m also helping you…”

Chen Lun glanced at him and said indifferently,

“Didn’t you see in your dreams that you would die in the agricultural park?”

“What?!”

Alec showed a surprised expression, then his face changed.

“That’s impossible, you’re just trying to deceive me. How could the mighty Alec die in such a forsaken corner… Even if I were to die, I would only die on a real grand stage, bravely sacrificing myself!”

Chen Lun watched Alec quietly, observing the details of his expression.

He wasn’t lying, because through divination and Peek Life, Chen Lun had indeed seen some threads of Alec’s destiny. If he didn’t take him away from the agricultural park, Alec would die an unnatural death today.

But what was strange was…

Although Alec would die tragically today, his future destiny still had a long way to go!

Very bizarre.

“It seems you’re not afraid of dying…”

Chen Lun suddenly blurted out.

Alec’s non-stop babbling abruptly stopped.

“Of course! How could the great Alec fear death… Hmph!”

He struck a brave pose outwardly.

Chen Lun suddenly smiled.

“That’s not what I meant… What I mean is, you seem certain that you won’t die, as if you have something to rely on. Yes, you would understand. If a person possesses an Undying Body, his attitude towards the whole world would be quite casual… actually, you seem to act just like that now.”

He looked at Alec’s face.

“No matter how you disguise yourself, you can’t escape the manifestations of your subconscious.”

“Jack… what on earth are you talking about?”

Alec showed a puzzled expression, one that didn’t seem feigned. Floey and the others nearby also seemed unable to understand what Chen Lun was saying.

‘Did I get it wrong?’

Chen Lun stared at Alec for several seconds, then smiled again.

“Nevermind.”

He once again reminded Floey to have Golov and the others keep a good watch on Alec and not let him run away… to treat him as part of the team, allow him to eat and drink, but not to let him run around freely.

With the voices of agreement from Floey and others, along with Alec’s reluctant ranting, Chen Lun once again used “Cloud Leap” and left the vineyard, heading back to the West Suburb Agricultural Area.

He still had an important matter to investigate.

That was whether Dolim was really the farmer he was looking for, and whether he possessed the third opportunity… Regarding the warnings given by Alec about the final pupa and the conspiracy of the Red Apple Church, he was less concerned about that.

This time, Chen Lun headed straight for the area where Dolim’s beef cattle were being bred.

Surprisingly, the area was surrounded by multiple layers of barbed wire and walls, making it inaccessible and unscannable to outsiders. If someone tried to forcibly enter, they would encounter several armed security teams who would sternly warn that this is a confidential area of Jett’s Agricultural Zone, authorized to shoot intruders on sight.

But that was not a problem for Chen Lun at all.

With instantaneous movement, he crossed multiple layers of protection and entered the internal area.

The first thing he saw was a bull enclosed in a glass house, sitting majestically on top of a cow, engaging in breeding.

Outside the glass house, dozens of cows were lined up in a queue.

However, what was terrifying was that the bull’s eyes were filled with pitch blackness, like demon’s eyes, devoid of any color. And on its head were goat-like horns, curving backward.

Seeing this, Chen Lun’s pupils constricted and his gaze involuntarily fixed on the bull, as he felt a strange familiarity with it.

Peek Life was directly applied to the bull, and the next second a panel popped up with:

[Target Name: Antonio!]

[Identity: Supernatural Creature! (Continuously suffering pollution)]

[Template: Leader!]

‘It really is him…’

Chen Lun suddenly understood.
