The rising sun shatters the darkness!

Chapter 489: Love Support (asking for monthly ticket)

"what is this?"

Xu Shu tried calling Alice, but there was obviously no response.

He went over and poked Amber again, but still no movement.

As a guy who has more experience in extraordinary practice but only primary school self-study programs in the field of knowledge, he can be called a "knowledge wilderness". He did not dare to break the amber violently and could only look to Xiaoya for help.

Seeing Xu Shu's embarrassment, Xiaoya's childish face suddenly showed a smile, and she put her hands on her hips and laughed:

"Hehehe, Brother Xu Shu doesn't even know this? This is the most famous protective ability of the succubus, 'hiding'."

"Ah? Hiding from sight?" A small question mark naturally popped up in Xu Shu's head, "Tell me in detail."

Xiaoya has always been a kind teacher. Now that Xu Shu needs her help, she is not stingy and continues to explain:
"In fact, it is a very powerful concealment ability. After the 'Succubus' is activated, it can bring itself and the people it protects into a special concealment state. It is said that even if it encounters a demigod, it can hide under the other party's nose for at least two and a half breaths!

"Of course, such a powerful move has serious side effects. As you can see, the succubi will enter a crystallized state and begin to hibernate. Their shapes become more special, like a transparent crystal stone, so they are nicknamed 'Love as Rock'. Here, it is just like what you see.

"Because there have always been only female 'nuns' in the world, and no male nuns have ever appeared, this skill has another nickname, called 'Natural Stone Girl'!"

"What?" Xu Shu's question mark doubled in size.

What a born barren woman!

Love is like a rock, which is pretty accurate and descriptive...wait, what the hell is this?

Xu Shu shook his head: "Forget it, don't explain. How long will it take for her to return to normal?"

Xiaoya shook her head: "No, this state cannot be resolved by itself. Someone who has a bond with her must take action to provide her with oxygen through love and dissolve this crystal stone. Sincerity can move a stone. I guess you are the person who has a bond with her, so I told you to come back soon."

Xu Shu frowned slightly: "What do you mean by people you've had a connection with? Do you have any special requirements?"

"You raised this succubus cat. You must have used the nun's talent for falling in love and fought together, right?" Xiaoya asked back.

"Oh, yes." Xu Shu nodded.

Seeing this, Xiaoya said calmly: "That's fine. You have enjoyed falling in love. You are her destined one."

"So that's how it is." Xu Shu breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, after these few words of enlightenment, only a fool would not guess what was going on!
Xiaoya means "offering of love" and "establishing a bond", what's so hard to guess?

It should be noted that the "Nun" profession is indeed full of loving hugs and kisses, and the skills are driven by "love".

However, the ability to 'hide' has been greatly depleted. In other words, Alice is now lacking love.

Obviously, this time it was his turn to repay Alice with his "love".

Moreover, this skill is called 'Natural Stone Girl', which is obviously a metaphor in some way.

As we all know, barren woman is a difficult and complicated disease. It can only be cured by using special methods to clear the Yang energy. This matter is also recorded in the legends [Nine Dragons Fighting for Succession] and [My Dragon: The Fall of the Sky].

So, as Xiaoya said, the way to save Alice is to melt the stone.

What should be used to dissolve it?

Of course, it is to influence her with love!
This may sound mysterious at first, but it is actually not difficult to do.

What is love? Love is not expressed in words, but in actions.

So, I have to be with Alice...

……

As we all know, once people start to relax in a stressful situation, they will uncontrollably start to think divergently and think about all sorts of things.

For example, Xu Shu's mind now naturally began to diverge along the line of "born stone woman" and found a solution.

And it seems very reasonable.

Looking at the cute, plump orange cat and thinking about what he was going to do to her next, Xu Shu clenched his fists, actually feeling a little resistant.

It's not that he hates Alice. He accepts all monsters like mermaids. What's a mere cat? Even the folk rumors like dogs must be locked and cats must be on fire can't scare Xu Shu.

It was because Xu Shu felt that he and Alice were already very familiar with each other, and their friendship was stronger than gold, unlike Jiang Biyun, who was just a passerby rescued on the street.

Once this is done, it will be difficult to end it, and there will be a lot of awkwardness in getting along with each other in the future.

But thinking of the archbishop's last wishes, Xu Shu knew that he had to shoulder the responsibility and could not back down because of fear of responsibility.

Hey, Archbishop, it seems that our relationship may need to be further improved... Well, I will take the responsibility for some of the mistakes...

Within a few seconds, Xu Shu had already done his ideological work.

He took a deep breath, overcame the pressure, took a step forward, and picked up Alice Amber.

This stone is quite hard... Xu Shu looked hesitant, but felt that he should be able to withstand it, so he prepared to connect it to his body.

Zhong Xiaoya drank some water to moisten her dry throat, and hurriedly asked, "Wait a minute, are you just pouring it like this?"

"What else?" Xu Shu asked in confusion.

"You can't do it this way. You have to soak her in a water tank and immerse her completely in love. Remember to feed her fresh water every day. If she is left for too long, she will spoil and may die from lack of love. Oh, I'm wrong. She will die from lack of oxygen." Xiaoya listed them all. "It will take at least three or four days, or at most six or seven days, to wake her up from hibernation."

"Wait a minute... soak in it? Have it be fresh every day? And for three days at the shortest and seven days at the longest? Are you serious?" Xu Shu's eyebrows suddenly jumped, and he looked at Xiaoya in disbelief.

Are you sure you didn't use a typo?
Is it soaking in it, not pouring it in?

Xiaoya was confused by Xu Shu's gaze: "Why are you looking at me? Normally, a succubus will hide inside the body of a person it has a connection with, automatically absorbing your love and repairing itself, but now it is hiding outside the body, so the situation is a little different.

"But for most people, this is something that would require sacrificing their lives to accomplish. But you are a famous 'Dragon Elephant' on the Human Rankings, so it shouldn't be difficult for you, right?"

"No, it's not difficult..."

Xu Shu's mouth twitched as he looked at the millstone-sized amber cat. He calculated that even if it was put into a very small bucket, it would take more than ten liters to submerge it every day, right?

More than ten liters, and they have to be fresh every day, I really...thank you for thinking highly of me!

But now that things have come to this, Xu Shu's face and dignity no longer allow him to say anything.

He closed his eyes, untied his belt with a fearless attitude, and said, "I understand. No need to say more. I can make such a sacrifice! Get out now. It's embarrassing to have someone around me!"

"What's wrong with that? Just let go a little...hiss!! Why the hell are you taking off your pants? Ouch!" Xiaoya was confused at first, then saw Bu appear in front of her and gasped in shock.

"Ok?"

Xu Shu froze, looking puzzled, "What do you want me to do? Didn't you say you wanted to pick her up?"

"It's soaked with your blood... You don't think you want that again, you beast! It's really unbearable to look at!" Xiaoya covered her face and looked at Xu Shu.

"...Fuck, why didn't you say so earlier."

You are sick!

What kind of good person calls blood "love"?

You, an old witch who dresses up as an elementary school student every day but whose actual age is unknown, are you doing this on purpose?
Really down!
Xu Shu quickly tied his belt again, and unhappily went to find a wooden barrel of similar size and put Alice in it.

Then, he found a small knife and was about to cut his wrist to let the blood flow, when suddenly his eyes rolled and he asked, "Sister Xiaoya, do you have a private bathroom here in the Judgment Department?"

Xiaoya asked in confusion: "Why do you need a bathroom just to bleed? You are so hypocritical. Besides, who would take a bath in the Judgment Bureau? You are really..."

"Just tell me if you have?"

"Yes, it's in my office. Come with me." Xiaoya muttered, and took Xu Shu through twists and turns and entered an office deep in the sixth floor of the Judgment Department.

When I went in, I saw a different world. It was a luxuriously decorated suite with all kinds of high-end furniture. It was quite large and there was even a swimming pool by the window.

Except for a desk near the entrance with 'Jiangchengzi' written on it, which barely shows that this is an office, the rest looks like a luxurious residence. "Is the treatment in the Judgment Department so good? They directly provide a large flat for senior prosecutors to use as an office." Xu Shu was amazed and pointed at the swimming pool of suitable size, "Can I use this?"

"No! No! Why do you care so much? Hurry up, or your cat will be suffocated to death!" Xiaoya puffed up her face and angrily opened the bathroom door, "By the way, don't move around anywhere else except the bathroom!"

"Okay, thank you very much." Xu Shu said honestly.

Xiaoya frowned and looked at him for a while, then suddenly asked, "Is this how you do it? Don't you want me to call a doctor for you?"

In her opinion, even a "Dragon Elephant" would suffer damage to its body if it bleeds so much.

Therefore, this problem can only be solved by having a transcendent person from the Life Path watching over you, otherwise a large amount of recovery potions will have to be consumed.

However, Xu Shu said, "No need, this will do."

"Okay then. Once you're done, come over and talk business. I'll be waiting for you in the lobby downstairs."

Seeing that he was very confident, Xiaoya did not insist. She closed the bathroom door on her own initiative and turned away, as if she did not want to stay here any longer.

There was a loud bang, and even the door was closed hard.

"Strange, why did she suddenly become so irritable after entering this room? She shouldn't be so angry just because she asked to borrow the bathroom? If she was angry, why didn't she refuse in advance? Weird, it seems that she has a secret..."

Xu Shu watched Xiaoya leave thoughtfully, but was very polite and did not ask any questions. He just locked the door, took the amber cat out of the barrel and put it into the bathtub.

Then, Xu Shu did not choose to bleed, but took off his clothes and lay in the bathtub.

He took out a blue erosion crystal, hesitated for a moment, then broke it with brute force, stuffed half of it into the upgrade drive, and switched to the title that had finished cooling down: [Sit-ups].

Tsk! Tsk!

Within a few seconds, bubbles began to appear on Xu Shu's body surface like a boiling oil pan, and then straight streams of blood shot out from his pores with great force!

At first glance, it looked as if Xu Shu had turned into a shower head.

The only difference is that the shower head sprays water, while he sprays blood!

Xu Shu smiled complacently, and began to pupate the cricket. Vigorous vitality emerged from his body and he began to treat him.

This is exactly why he suddenly asked Xiaoya for the bathroom.

Since a large amount of blood is needed anyway, there is no difference between bloodletting and bloodspurting. Of course, I would choose bloodspurting, and I can also complete my training that has been slack for three days.

You have to know that in the past few days in the ruins, there was murderous intent everywhere. Xu Shu had no safe place at all. He didn't dare to practice and had been itching to practice.

Now that I am back at the bottom of the Star Tower and need blood again, I can take this opportunity to "finish my homework".

It was because this place was not his territory, otherwise Xu Shu would not have eaten such a pitiful half of a crystal, but would have directly eaten two crystals to absorb the day's amount at one time.

But he couldn't do that now. Xu Shu was still a reasonable person and felt embarrassed to waste too much of Xiaoya's time.

Soon, with the help of [sit-ups], his blood continued to flow out, filling the entire bathtub, and it still did not stop, with no shortage at all.

Alice was completely submerged in the blood, floating up and down.

Xu Shu maintained a gradually regular amplitude, doing sit-ups one by one, firmly.

Up and down, up and down.

Blood gushed out like a fountain.

More than half an hour later...

Xu Shu dressed neatly and walked out looking refreshed.

He had already cleaned the bathroom, and there was no trace of the horrific scene of blood all over the floor.

He also put Alice into a large bucket full of blood, just enough to submerge her, and sealed it with three layers inside and three layers outside to ensure that there would be no leaks.

"But living things can't be put into storage bags. This fat cat is so big that it's not convenient to carry it on your back. I need to put something in it to pull it..."

Xu Shu muttered to himself for a while, then his eyes were fixed on the huge black plastic barrel over one meter high at the entrance of the corridor.

"Huh? This can be pulled..."

Xu Shu's eyes suddenly lit up.

……

After a while, Zhong Xiaoya, who was waiting in the lobby on the first floor of the Judgment Department, saw Xu Shu dragging a black trash can.

He strode with his head held high as people around him gave way, looked around for a moment, and finally walked towards him.

During this period, police clerks carrying bulging garbage bags would occasionally walk quickly towards Xu Shu and try to throw their small garbage bags into his big trash can, but they would leave in confusion and anger after being rejected.

"..."

Zhong Xiaoya looked at Xu Shu with a twitching mouth, and found that she really couldn't understand this person.

"You really don't have even the slightest idol burden at all." Xiaoya sighed.

Xu Shu sneered and said, "Oh, I, Xu Shu, have done things all my life, so why should anyone else spit on me?"

"As expected of Brother Xu Shu." Xiaoya gave him a thumbs up. "By the way, let me remind you that word is pronounced as beak."

"Oh, thank you. By the way, where are my parents?" Xu Shu asked.

Xiaoya rolled her eyes and said, "Don't worry, they are well protected and have a special placement. Here is the room card and you can pick them up at any time. It's the building next to the Judgment Department. Your sister is in the research institute. She passed the extraordinary qualification test yesterday and will become a 'child prodigy' within three days."

"Prodigy" is the extraordinary path mastered by Mo Gong, and is known as the three literary schools together with "scholar" and "hunter". However, relatively speaking, most of the senior members of the Astronomical Society are "scholars".

Xu Shu didn't know where the "Hunter" text was, so he breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, thank you very much, Sister Xiaoya this time."

Xiaoya took out an iron box mysteriously and whispered, "No need to say thank you, let's talk business now, Brother Xu Shu, we should go fight voodoo..."

Xu Shu suddenly raised his hand and said, "No, I'm going to go see my parents first."

After saying that, without waiting for Xiaoya to reply, Xu Shu left the Judgment Office like the wind and went to confirm the destination on the room card.

ten minutes later.

After successfully seeing Zhou Junjie and his wife and confirming that they were not injured, Xu Shu did not say much and returned to his original place with a smile on his face.

"Brother Xu Shu, you don't distrust me, do you?" Xiaoya asked suspiciously.

Xu Shu said sternly, "How is that possible? Sister Xiaoya, you are worrying too much! We are close friends who have risked our lives for each other. You are insulting me by saying this! Now let's talk business. What did you say you were going to do?"

"Tsk, I don't believe you~"

Xiaoya grumbled silently, but she endured it in view of Xu Shu's good attitude, and said again, "Let's go fight Voodoo, I found his whereabouts again!"

"No." Xu Shu said concisely.

"Eh? Eh?"

A sweet smile froze on her delicately trimmed and polished face. Xiaoya was stunned for a long time before she came to her senses and said, "No... Why are you going back on your word?"

Xu Shu spoke frankly, "What are you fighting against Voodoo? Is it just another puppet? How many times have you done this? Every time we fight for a long time, you two just hide in the back and don't suffer any loss. In the end, I am the one who gets hurt. I won't stand this. So, when you find Voodoo's real body, I will help you kill him. From now on, we will not contact each other for the time being."

After saying that, he patted his butt, stood up, and prepared to leave.

"No, how could you do this~"

Xiaoya first burst into tears out of grievance, then suddenly her face darkened and she said sinisterly, "But if I tell you that Voodoo was involved in the leak of your family's situation, and that he might even be the mastermind behind it, how will you respond?"
