Chapter 486: Meteor Street x The House of Elders(1/2)
"There's internal strife in Meteor Street."
In the bar where Kain left, Riley looked at the picture on the screen and muttered.
Ilumi and Riley were sitting on the sofa. There was a tablet on the coffee table in front of them, which was playing the video of the one-sided massacre in the alley just now.
Although there was a lot of movement in the alley, the music and noise in the bar perfectly drowned out the gunshots and screams in the alley.
"Meteor Street, Barahona Dynasty..."
Ilumi looked at a large group of men in black pouring into the alley, and connected the two terms Meteor Street and Barahona Dynasty together in his mind.
"Golden Mask."
A golden mask suddenly flashed in my mind.
"The people in Meteor Street are looking for the remains of the Barahona Dynasty?"
The Greedy Mask was also obtained from Meteor Street, and this time the ancient ruins were related to Meteor Street. It happened that he was interested in the unknown technology in the ruins of that ancient dynasty.
"Let's go to Meteor Street."
Thinking of this, Ilumi got up from the sofa and walked towards the bar door. Riley put away the computer on the coffee table, got up and followed.
At this time, at the door of the bar, Kain came to a black car and raised his right arm.
"Clang!"
There was a soft sound, and he smashed the car window with his elbow. He reached out to open the door from the inside, bent down and got into the car, and sat in the driver's seat.
"Buzzing..."
Accompanied by the hum of the car engine, the black car sped away.
When the black car started, a black multifunctional SUV followed far behind the black car.

The next day, 04:30 in the morning.
In the desert, the sky was slightly bright, and a black car was driving slowly in the desert.
The car drove along, and soon a mountain of garbage emitting thick black smoke came into view.
"Chi..."
The black car stopped outside the garbage mountain. Kain, dressed in black, opened the door and stepped on the hot sand.
Kain got out of the car, looked around, took out a gas mask from the car, put it on his head, and walked towards Meteor Street.
After a while, Kain's figure disappeared into the garbage mountain, and a black multifunctional SUV slowly drove over.
"Click."
The car door opened, and two figures, a man and a woman, stepped out of the car.
Riley took out her personal terminal, which displayed the internal traffic plan of Meteor Street. A triangular red dot was slowly moving in the video, and it was Kain who was being monitored by them.
Meteor Street was founded nearly 500 years ago. After hundreds of years of development, it has gradually formed the size of a city. Its total population is close to 10 million. In addition to its area and economy, it is equivalent to a medium-sized country.
After passing through the garbage mountain in front of you, you will find the residential area of Meteor Street behind you.
"The pollution in the garbage mountain is extremely serious. Wear a gas mask."
Yilumi looked ahead at the mountains of garbage that were emitting thick black smoke everywhere. The stench came from them, making her physically uncomfortable.
"Sir."
A heavily armed driver walked out of the car and handed two gas masks to the two of them, and Ilumi and Riley put them on one after another.
"Let's go."
Ilumi straightened his mask and walked towards the garbage mountain with Riley.
Thirty minutes later...
The two followed Kain through the garbage mountain, to the residential area of Meteor Street, and followed him to the Meteor Street Cathedral.
At this time, a large number of Meteor Street residents gathered outside the church.
"Have you heard? Someone discovered a source of water deep in the desert."
"Really?"
"It's impossible, this kind of thing."
"If there is a water source, there may be a new oasis in ten years."
"If there was, it would have been discovered long ago. How could it be our turn in Meteor Street?"
"If we can take possession of Meteor Street, we might be able to get out of the current predicament."
"Don't be naive. Even if it does happen, it won't be our turn. The United States of America will definitely send troops to occupy it."
"Maybe the Aztec Republic will also..."
"Look, the Kain priest is coming."
Just as people gathered outside the church and started talking, Kain, who had taken off his gas mask and changed into a black robe and sacrificial robe, walked out of the crowd.
When he walked out of the crowd, the surrounding residents of Meteor Street all turned their eyes to him, and their words were full of respect. Judging by his appearance, he was also a very famous person in Meteor Street.
"Dear residents, I know you are very concerned about the water source discovered a month ago."
"But regarding the issue of water sources, please leave it to the Council of Elders."
"We will definitely strive for more survival resources and a better living environment for everyone in Meteor Street."
Kain stood at the door of the church, making assurances to the surrounding Meteor Street residents with a kind face.
"Really? Kain Priest!"
"Priest Kain said so, we can only choose to wait."
"Forget it, how can we, Meteor Street, compete with the two big countries?"
"Perhaps the two big countries simply don't care about this little resource in the desert?"
In the crowd, residents had different reactions to Kain's assurances. Some believed him optimistically, while others remained pessimistic.
"Priest Kain, Elder Batu and other elders are waiting for you inside the chamber."
A man in black walked out of the church, came to Kain's side, and reminded him.
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Kain nodded slightly, turned around and walked into the church.
"It's all gone!"
After Kain entered the church, the man in black stood at the door and waved his hand, dismissing the residents who gathered outside the church door, and then turned and entered the church.
The residents discussed in low voices, dispersed around, and went back to work.
"You wait outside, I'll follow you in."
In the crowd, Ilumi casually threw away the gas mask he took off, greeted Riley, and walked towards the church door.
"Da da……"
Crisp footsteps sounded in the church hall. The man in black suddenly stopped and turned to look at the door. A young man in a black trench coat was slowly entering the church.
"Now is the closed time, no one is allowed to enter the church."
The man in black sighed and regarded Ilumi as a resident of Meteor Street. But Ilumi just walked forward with a calm expression, as if he didn't listen at all.
"Hey, are you deaf!?"
Seeing Yilumi's indifferent look, the man in black frowned and walked over, reaching out and putting his hand on Yilumi's shoulder, trying to push him out.
"Bang!"
Yilumi flashed his right arm and hit the man in black on the side of the neck with a knife.
"Well……"
The man in black fainted instantly, his eyes turned white, and his body staggered and fell face to face.
"Snapped!"
But before he fell, Yilumi reached out to catch his body, and with one hand gently threw his body, which weighed more than 200 kilograms, directly to the gold crystal chandelier in the church hall above his head.
"Creak~Creak~"
The body of the man in black was hung on the crystal chandelier, swaying "creaking".
The next moment, a burst of white light appeared on Yilumi's body. When the white light dissipated, Yilumi had transformed into the man in black just now, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and walked towards the corridor deep in the church hall.

Ten minutes passed...
