Do not engage in underworld operations in the human world!

The next day.

It was not yet fully daylight.

Because it rained heavily at night, the air is still a little humid.

A light mist shrouded the surroundings, and the light of morning light was slowly piercing through the mist, covering the ground with gold.

Two slender figures stood on the helipad on the roof of the guild building.

One is Scythe carrying a briefcase, and the other is Jiang Lu dragging a suitcase and yawning tiredly.

"Did you sleep well last night?"

"It's okay." Jiang Lu patted his cheeks to make himself more energetic: "It's just that I haven't gotten up so early in a long time. I'm not used to it."

"You can't ruin your body even when you're young. You should stay up less late in the future." Scythe said subconsciously.

But after he finished speaking, he realized that such admonition seemed a little inappropriate.

After all, for exorcists who have been roaming in the spirit realm all year round, their work and rest schedules are very irregular, and overdrawing the body is a very common thing. They have long bid farewell to normal life, so how can they have a normal work and rest schedule?
If the exorcist doesn't destroy his body, then the spirit realm will destroy the world, there is nothing that can be done about it.

Jiang Lu didn't think too much about it, he just nodded: "It makes sense."

Scythe glanced at him, then said calmly: "It's okay, it will be the same if you take more supplements in the future."

"I think we should get up early. I felt my head was heavy after getting up a little early today." Jiang Lu smiled.

"Could it be that there's a cat on top of you?"

"Oh?"

Jiang Lu reached out and touched, and sure enough, he touched Huang Xiu'e.

There was nothing I could do about it. After all, it was already late at night when I found her in my suitcase. It would be too troublesome to send her back, so I might as well take her with me.

"We only found her in the suitcase when we were packing. It's definitely too late to send her back." Jiang Lu explained casually.

"It's like this with cats. People who pack a suitcase only need to focus on stuffing things into it, but a cat who wants to get in has to consider a lot more." Scythe looked like he had a deep understanding of this.

With a light cough, he added, "I also had a cat."

"Oh." Jiang Lu didn't care about it.

Scythe had a blank expression on his face, but the wrinkles at the corners of his mouth looked a little unhappy.

After a period of silence, the helicopter sent by Xin Yuanxing to pick up Jiang Lu arrived as scheduled.

The powerful airflow instantly blew away the surrounding mist, and the huge noise made Jiang Lu unable to hear any other sound.

Huang Xiu'e grabbed Jiang Lu's scalp tightly, so she was not blown away.

Only when the helicopter's propeller stopped turning did the world return to peace.

Even though he had known for a long time that Jiang Lu could not have lied about this matter, when he actually saw the seal of the Xin faction on the helicopter, Sickle still felt unbelievable.

It's really coming.

Jinghu City is so far away from here, but did you still come?

Taking a deep breath, Scythe took a step forward and walked towards the cabin.

But just as he was about to board the plane, the pilot stopped him.

Because he compared the photos and found that Sickle was not the person he was going to meet this time, although he recognized that this was the president of the Chishan branch.

"I'm sorry, Scythe Branch President, I'm here to pick up the exorcist named 'I'm Jiang Bao Chong Ling Yu'. You are not on the invited list."

The pilot said politely to Scythe.

"Can the name of just one person be included in the list?" Jiang Lu looked up and asked dissatisfiedly.

The pilot smiled professionally: "When you go to a restaurant, isn't it also an order even if you only order a bowl of rice?"

"Fuck, that makes so much sense." Jiang Lu was deeply impressed by this explanation.

Scythe looked at the familiar face of the pilot, thought of something, and asked tentatively: "Are you a performer?"

"Oh? Chapter President, have you heard of my name?" The pilot took off his helmet, revealing a shiny bald head, and grinned, "But you can't try to get close to me. Rules are rules."

However, the sickle is not meant to get close.

He had heard about the performer's deeds. He was an exorcist who had reached level 60 before he was thirty years old. He had served as a senior team leader of the strategy group for level 50 to 60 exorcists at the headquarters, but he disappeared after reaching level 60.

According to the guild's rules, those above level 60 are eligible to open a branch. For example, he himself is exactly level 60 and has been stuck at this level for a long time.

If he was a performer, he must be an exorcist of a higher rank than him by now.

Before this, Scythe had always thought that he had gone somewhere to open a new branch, but he never expected that he is now working as a Xin faction aircraft pilot.

They are really powerful. Scythe couldn't help but secretly admire the wealth of Xin faction.

But Jiang Lu didn't know all this. He was just thinking that he had boasted about how awesome he was, saying that he would let Scythe take a ride, but now he said that he couldn't bring anyone with him. It was really embarrassing.

Therefore, Jiang Lu, who loves his reputation, grabbed the performer's hand and said tenderly, "Is it really not possible?"

The performer still had a smile on his face, and then used his other hand to pull at Jiang Lu's hand as if to scrape off the chewing gum stuck on his hand: "It's really not possible."

"Why don't you ask former President Xin?"

"Let me remind you that the first word is completely redundant."

"It doesn't matter what you call it, just ask."

"No need to ask. After all, he didn't mention it specifically. The list will never be wrong."

"Then he hasn't specifically refused, doesn't that mean that the list can be added?"

"Isn't that sophistry?"

"No, it's called the Brother Ba Formula."

Although Jian Dao was touched by Jiang Lu's act of pleading for him, he did not want to cause any trouble because of himself, and he did not want to owe others such a big favor just for a ride, so he stopped Jiang Lu: "It's okay, I'll just drive there."

"How can that be? I've already promised you."

At this time, the performer also noticed something.

It seems that Jiang Lu is using Xin faction's resources to do himself a favor.

He looked down upon this practice, but because Jiang Lu was the passenger assigned by Xin Yuanxing, he could not say much. However, his impression of Jiang Lu had already fallen to the bottom.

"So you should ask. Our branch president was supposed to go to the headquarters for something very important."

"So what's the important matter?" The performer looked at the sickle with interest.

"The Chishan branch and the Qinghu branch negotiated with Heiyu due to some frictions and gained many benefits, including the initiative to sign some contracts, so they need to report to the president for a decision." Scythe answered seriously.

His explanation was very concise, but the performer's expression gradually became serious. "This is a big deal." He changed his attitude and said to the sickle: "Wait a moment, I'll ask President Xin."

Although the current position of president is not held by a member of the Xin faction, this concerns the interests of the entire guild. The performer did not dare to take it lightly and immediately chose to ask his superiors for instructions.

Soon, he got a reply, and then said to the sickle: "President Xin agreed, and asked me to take you there as quickly as possible, come up."

Scythe breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you very much."

"They are all family members."

Jiang Lu also breathed a sigh of relief. Although the direction was different from what he expected, the result was the same after all. He was not wrong.

Following Scythe, he also got on the helicopter.

With his seatbelt fastened and headphones on, the performer pulled the lever: "Sit tight, I'm going fast!"

After that, the helicopter's propeller started again, and the powerful push on his back made Jiang Lu sink deeply into the embedded seat.

But not long after, as the helicopter rose to a predetermined height and began to move forward, Jiang Lu began to feel much more comfortable due to inertia.

This was his first time riding in a helicopter, and since he didn't have to fly the plane himself like he did last time in the wasteland, it was much easier and he felt very relaxed.

Sometimes he asked the performer what those colorful buttons were for, and sometimes he was so bored that he leaned his head against the glass and looked down because the performer ignored him.

Huang Xiu'e was also placed in a baby seat by him, and she looked around curiously with her big eyes.

"Why haven't you said anything?" Jiang Lu suddenly turned his head and asked the sickle who was sitting upright and staring at the front: "Are you nervous?"

"No, not nervous."

"But your hands are full of blue veins, and they're white where you hold the handrails."

"I I just."

Scythe sighed, "I think I'm afraid of heights."

"Ah? You're afraid of heights? What do you mean by "as if"?"

"I didn't know I was afraid of heights before, but when I looked down just now, I felt terrible."

"Then do you want me to pull up the explosion-proof armor so that you can't see outside?" the performer suddenly asked.

"Can't you hear me? Are you pretending?" Jiang Lu asked dissatisfiedly, but the performer still pretended to be selectively deaf.

"That would be great."

After hearing his answer, the performer pressed some button and a layer of armor quickly rose up from the outside of the glass surrounding the helicopter, wrapping the entire helicopter.

Except for the glass in front of the cockpit, through which only the blue sky and white clouds can be seen from the back seat, the other windows are pitch black and nothing can be seen.

Jiang Lu suddenly felt disappointed, but since Bingdao was indeed afraid of heights, there was nothing he could do and he couldn't say anything.

The cabin suddenly became dim, and there was nothing left that could attract Jiang Lu's attention.

Well, but it's just a good opportunity for me to continue to complete my design. Jiang Lu thought so and prepared to enter the spiritual realm to continue to perfect his new species.

So he said to the sickle, "Take a nap," and closed his eyes, letting his body enter a state of emptiness. His spirit left the body and plunged into the spiritual realm.

"Hmm." The sickle, who was feeling uncomfortable, just nodded and didn't notice anything unusual.

However, the performer in front seemed to sense something. He turned his head in surprise and frowned as he looked at Jiang Lu with his eyes closed.

After looking for a few times, he slowly turned around and looked forward again, but his heart was shocked.

Is this the state of 'selflessness' that I have been pursuing?

Chairman Xin demonstrated it in front of me once, and it can’t be wrong!

But why.
Although President Xin was just demonstrating it briefly, why is the ethereal aura on you so much stronger?

No wonder President Xin asked me to pick you up. It turns out that he wanted me to know that there are always people who are better than you.
But you look so young, how could it be, how could it be?!

The performer's pupils were shaking, and no one knew what kind of intense shock he was experiencing.

His hand holding the joystick was shaking slightly, and his vision was gradually losing focus because he was thinking about other things.

With his mind in a mess, he did not notice the subtle changes in the clouds ahead.
"A sickle."

After approving the performer's request, Xin Yuanxing quickly found out what happened recently in the Chishan branch through his intelligence network, and muttered to himself thoughtfully:

"Although his stubborn character has not been tempered at all and he is still not suitable for administrative work, his toughness is unexpectedly sharp when dealing with foreign countries."

Having a slight advantage in the game with Heiyu was naturally nothing in his eyes.

He pays more attention to the cultivation of talents.

It had already entered his sight long before the sickle was mature.

However, his evaluation of the sickle at that time was: It is easy to break if it is too hard, and it will be of little use if it is not sharpened.

That's why he was assigned to Chishan City to open up a new branch. On the one hand, we wanted him to change his way of doing things and be more tactful after being in the position. On the other hand, it was also to protect him. After all, people with such a character would inevitably be excluded in a place like the headquarters where there are all kinds of people. It would be better for him to go to open up new areas where the environment is purer.

But now, after he stepped down and no longer served as the president, he has become more open-minded and no longer looks at people with the same mindset as before, only caring about whether the people under him can be used by him and whether they are useful or not.

He was more concerned about teaching students in accordance with their aptitude. He was not thinking about changing them, but about how to help them find things that suit them.

From this perspective, the sickle seems to be very suitable for diplomacy.

No matter what, someone who is very principled towards his own people will naturally be tougher towards external parties. With him around, the guild will never suffer any loss.

Just as he was thinking about whether he should find an opportunity to have a good talk with Scythe this time, someone suddenly knocked on his door.

"Enter."

The door was pushed open and a man dressed as a secretary rushed in.

"President Xin, it's bad, the performer has disappeared!"

"What do you mean disappeared?" Xin Yuanxing frowned.

"We just lost all contact." The secretary said as if he had seen a ghost: "The helicopter signal, his information in the list of the exorcist system, all of them are gone!"

"How could this be?" Xin Yuanxing immediately opened his exorcist panel.

But what made him unbelievable was

The performer, Sickle, and Jiang Lu, three contacts, all disappeared without a trace from his friend list.

Jiang Lu looked at the dim light around him and the desolate wilderness that looked like something out of a ghost story. He turned around and questioned the performer: "You said you were driving fast, but you didn't say you were going to crash."

"I've told you so many times, this is not a plane crash, this is entering a randomly descended spiritual realm!" The performer was almost going crazy.

Jiang Lu spread his hands, looking helpless: "MAN, what can I say?" (End of this chapter)
