Chapter 492: A man of upright character and cunning ways, enemies meet on a narrow road ( monthly tickets requested)
No, why is it voodoo again?
The person who stole Xiaoya's mother's belongings was voodoo, the one who sold human organs in the wasteland town was voodoo, the mastermind behind the attack on her own home was also voodoo, and now she has inexplicably joined the Ghost Killing Gate to attack innocent passers-by, and it's still voodoo.
Oh my god, why is Voodoo so bad?
A master at the peak of the third level, with nothing to do all day, just stares at this dirty and messy thing and gets involved himself?
Is this reasonable?
You little girl... no, you old witch pretending to be young, are you trying to tie me tightly to the chariot, so you try your best to throw dirty water on Voodoo every chance to deepen my bad impression of him, right?
When Xiaoya said the name voodoo, Xu Shu immediately had this suspicion.
Of course, this doubt lasted less than two seconds before he eliminated it himself.
The reason was very simple. After several contacts, he and Voodoo had already formed an irreconcilable blood feud. Either they didn't meet, or if they met, only one person would survive. It was absolutely impossible to turn hostility into friendship.
And Xiaoya is quite clear about this.
In addition, the relationship with Archbishop Yu Mingluan provides a very solid front line guarantee.
It can be said that unless she is an idiot with an IQ of only 1, she would never do such a thing that would only ruin her own goodwill.
Then, would Jiang Chengzi, a senior executive of the Judgment Department who advanced from a "child prodigy" to an "autistic person" and then to the current "mechanical expert", be such a fool who cannot distinguish between good and evil?
The answer is obviously no.
Therefore, there is no doubt that voodoo was involved in the killing of the Ghost Gate and the abuse and attack on the family compound of the Judgment Bureau, which was almost a demonstration.
"So why is he doing this? Is he crazy? Originally he just wanted to offend you and me, but now he wants to go against the entire Judgment Department?" Xu Shu was puzzled.
"...Actually, offending me is no different from offending the entire Judgment Department..." Xiaoya muttered in a very low voice with a frown on her face.
Xu Shu didn't hear clearly: "What did you say?"
"It's okay. I'll go check out the results of the interrogation later to determine whether it's a revenge killing or just a madman who wants to embarrass the entire Judgment Department.
"But no matter which one it is, this feud has been established, and I will issue a city-wide warrant to kill the guys from Guimen.
"Humph, they dare to mess with me. I think they are tired of living and have already found a way to die!"
Xiaoya said with a cruel and murderous look on her face.
After hearing this, Xu Shu secretly rolled his eyes.
What's the point of saying harsh words?
How long has Voodoo offended you? It's been almost half a month and you haven't been able to do anything to him, and you haven't even touched his true body.
I think the level of your Judgment Department is just so-so...
He didn't want to dampen Xiaoya's enthusiasm, so he asked casually: "According to you, what can we do now?"
Xiaoya said calmly: "One word."
"wait?"
"As expected, Brother Xu Shu is really smart."
"Forget it. I'll be leaving now. Call me when you have a clue. I'll wait for your news."
"Where are you going?" Xiaoya felt something was wrong and asked.
"Of course my parents have to find another place to live. Your place is not safe either." Xu Shu said with disdain.
Upon hearing this, Xiaoya quickly grabbed his sleeve and said coquettishly, "Hey, Brother Xu Shu, don't worry. This is an accident. We will strengthen patrols next. Besides, if this incident had not happened in the family compound but in other places, many people would have died, right? It is precisely because they are in the family compound that they are afraid to make any noise. If you don't believe me, you can see that the Ghost Killing Gate only dared to use such a small trick quietly this time. They will never dare to come again. Believe me!"
"Hmm..." Xu Shu frowned, and after thinking carefully, he realized that what Xiaoya said was right.
At this point, Voodoo probably still doesn't know what his family members look like. After all, Alice avoided the first wave of attacks by "hiding", which is probably a blessing in disguise.
In this case, it is indeed the best choice for adoptive parents to live in a mixed family compound. This is called hiding in the city.
Besides, it is not a solution for me to just squat here and guard every day. After all, the other side has teammates, and I can't do it alone... There is no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days, even if you are a thief for a thousand days.
The best way is to find out the voodoo and destroy it once and for all, but the problem is that voodoo is too good at hiding...
While I was thinking this, Xu Shuren had already walked out the door, looking like he couldn't wait to leave.
Xiaoya followed behind and suddenly said, "Actually, I already have a complete strategic plan."
Ah, you have a plan so quickly? I'm still confused, you are indeed a child prodigy... Xu Shu raised his eyebrows, turned back calmly and asked: "Tell me about it."
Xiaoya chuckled: "Three directions! The first one is of course for me to continue to track down Voodoo's whereabouts and follow the clues. If we can find him directly, then we can solve the problem once and for all. However, this is more difficult to do and I need some time."
That makes sense. You and Voodoo are both good at hiding. You said you'd be given a few days, but I think this is a protracted war. This plan may seem simple, but it's actually the slowest... Xu Shu remained calm: "What about the second one?"
"Secondly, capture all the members of the Red Emperor Army in the city, especially Bruce White. Since he obeys Voodoo's orders, they must be closely connected. If we capture him alive, we may be able to lure Voodoo out directly!"
Xu Shu nodded in agreement: "Oh, this is a supplement for when your first plan didn't work well, right?"
"Yes, that's right!"
"Then you only have one solution?"
"Why are you in such a hurry? I have a third idea, which is..." Xiaoya smiled mysteriously.
"Don't keep us in suspense." Xu Shu said seriously.
"Well, just follow the clues and infiltrate the Deactivation Society! You know, Bai Yujing's Huo Xiu Group has been searching for people from the Deactivation Society in a big way recently but to no avail. Well, especially, Yin Hu and Yu from the Deactivation Society~" When Xiaoya said this, she knocked on the door next to her three times, opening and closing her mouth to make lip movements.
Facing Xiaoya's teasing gaze, Xu Shu coughed.
The other party is the only one who knows that Yu Mingluan is his "alias", so there is no need to say more.
Xiaoya didn't tease him on purpose, and continued, "I have an informant who told me that the Red Emperor Army and the Deactivation Society have a very close relationship! At such a critical moment, don't you think it's a coincidence?"
"What? There is such a thing? The Annihilation Society is a local organization in Penglai, right? Are they also in cahoots with the Red Emperor Army?" Xu Shuzhen was a little surprised.
As far as he knew, Penglai District, which was ruled by the superpower 'Bai Yujing', had very strong control. The Savior Army might have a good reputation in some relatively poor small war zones (such as D8B3 District), and some people even regarded them as saviors.
But in Penglai, the Savior Army has no say at all. They are almost labeled as terrorists and even called "rebels" by the people. They are like rats crossing the street and everyone wants to kill them.
This is what is called "the land and water nurture the people". Compared to those refugee war zones where resources are so scarce that the wasteland refugees have trouble even getting enough food and clothing, the wasteland here in Penglai is rich in products. With the generous subsidies from Baiyujing, there are only "residents" but no "refugees". Naturally, the Savior Army cannot win their favor with their trivial tricks.
Under such circumstances, local Penglai organizations like the Annihilation Society actually colluded with the Red Emperor's Army.
Wait, kill the Ghost Gate, destroy the Resurrection Society...
Xu Shu's eyes rolled, and he suddenly lowered his voice and said, "You mean, the Wudu who is leading all this is against all the living cultivators in Baiyujing? So, this is not just done by Wudu, the person who really stands behind him is——"
"Shh!" Xiaoya raised her finger. "Just keep this in mind, but don't say it out loud. Be careful, there may be ears."
"Oh." Xu Shu nodded, looked at Xiaoya deeply, and thought to himself that it seemed that he was right.
After all, it turns out that this is actually a war within Baiyujing.
It's a war between two different factions!
At this time, Xiaoya looked around and suddenly said with a gossipy face: "Oh, by the way, let me tell you secretly, because we smell the gunpowder of this struggle, our Chief Commander of the Judgment Department can't wait to make some achievements, let the people of the entire Penglai District see it, and enhance the prestige of our Judgment Department!"
"Hiss, your commander-in-chief is quite utilitarian." Xu Shu thought about it and roughly understood the reason.
As everyone knows, in Penglai, the status of the Judgment Department is actually quite ordinary.
There are even quite a number of people who only know the directors of Bai Yujing's departments, and even regard the Judgment Department as one of the chief thugs under Bai Yujing.
This matter must have been a source of resentment for the Judgment Department and even the entire local Astronomical Society.
I have done a lot of dirty and tiring work and work in maintaining public order. It is clear that the Mingtian Association and your Baiyujing are in joint management, but why do you take all the benefits when it comes to rewarding merits and distributing honors?
This time, taking advantage of the obvious internal strife between the living and dead cultivators in Bai Yujing, it was a good opportunity for the Judgment Division to show off its power, slap Bai Yujing in the face, and regain some of the right to speak.
"So, Brother Xu Shu, if you trust me, you can join us without any worries. Your parents will never encounter any danger in the family compound. I, Zhong Xiaoya, guarantee it with my life. I will personally watch over it. Whoever comes will die. Okay!"
Xiaoyatu said with a sharp insight.
As she spoke, she actually took off her head, pulled out a very finely made round eyeball from inside her brain, and stuffed it into the ventilation duct of the building to show her determination.
Then, she put the head back on and stared at Xu Shu with her little face that was missing an eye. She looked both beautiful and scary.
"..." Seeing this scene, Xu Shu's mouth twitched, thinking that if Xiaoya was watching him personally with the "puppet clone", then there really wouldn't be much of a problem.
After a little thought, Xu Shu leaned back slightly and chose the scumbag talk he learned from a certain senior from elementary school: "Well, let's do this, try living here for a while and observe. If it's really reliable, I can consider agreeing to your request. Of course, this is just giving you a chance~"
Xiaoya blinked one eye, feeling sorry for herself. She had seen all kinds of people, but had never seen someone like this one who came from a humble background but had superb boxing skills. So even though she felt something was not right, she thought about it and agreed.
"Then Brother Xu Shu, you can't make me wait too long~" Xiaoya said. It can be seen that she really wants to recruit Xu Shu to help her boost sales.
Next, as there were no more clues at the scene, Xiaoya took the lead in returning to the Judgment Bureau.
She has to continue tracking Voodoo through special means. This is a showdown between two top "mechanical experts".
Xu Shu quietly went to meet with his adoptive parents and told them not to stray too far from the family compound.
There was not much time to reminisce this time. In order to avoid being discovered by someone with ulterior motives, Xu Shu quickly left the family compound, which was under extra protection, without disturbing anyone.
So much so that when his foster mother made him a bowl of noodles, Xu Shu was long gone, and only he left a big bag full of money on the table.
"Hey, why are you in such a hurry to leave this time? You don't even eat a bite before you leave." Zhou's mother, who hadn't seen her son for a long time, complained.
Father Zhou was more open-minded: "This is also to protect us. In this world, we ordinary people should be satisfied to be alive and live such a comfortable life. Don't be greedy. Haha, it's a good thing that Xiaoyu has become a great figure among the extraordinary people. I am happy when I think that there will be no such gap between them."
"Do you really want to raise your son as your son-in-law?" Zhou's mother poked her husband unhappily.
Zhou Junjie was lying on a chair, holding today's newspaper in his hand, and said leisurely: "Hey, you are still pretending in front of me, how come you don't think so? If you ask me, we should have a chance to have a serious talk with Ah Shu one day, and let them settle down earlier and go over by themselves, so as not to let us two old guys hold them back. Hey, look at the series in today's newspaper, "My Sister and I's Pure Love Family", those who are blood-related are all like this, not to mention that they don't have any!"
"Bah! What does this old pervert watch every day... Let's talk about it when we have a chance. I don't know what Ah Shu is thinking... I always feel that he simply treats Xiaoyu as his sister. It would be bad if he said too much." Zhou's mother spat and stood at the window, looking at him reluctantly.
Although Xu Shu was no longer visible, she still stood there for a long time.
"Don't think too much. Your children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. It's not good to worry too much." Zhou Junjie was calm.
Finally, Zhou's mother sighed: "That's right, their future achievements are beyond our imagination. Hehe, who could have thought that the gap between people would be so big?"
While muttering to herself, she sat back on the sofa, stretched comfortably, picked up a newspaper from the coffee table, and began to read it with relish.
This newspaper is quite special. It is called "Things about the Extraordinary World" and is something like current affairs news.
Zhou's mother had never seen this thing before. This thing does not exist in the D8B3 area at all. It is a reading material in the Penglai area.
According to the people here, some local bigwigs did this for fun, and it is also a rare channel for ordinary people like them to get a glimpse of the extraordinary world.
There are a lot of things mentioned above, and they are varied, and there are often stories that confuse people.
For example, "The Legendary Life of the Kraken Orchi", "The Love Story between the Tenth Speaker of the Astronomical Society and the Sixth Concubine Shebisi.4", "The Beast Trainer: Zhubisi is really a coin and cannot be trained", etc.
To be honest, Zhou's mother simply couldn't understand many of the stories above. After all, she was just a middle-aged woman with not very high education.
Rather than viewing it as "current affairs news" of the extraordinary world, it would be more appropriate to read it as a curious story.
After all, ever since a supernatural being appeared in the family, Zhou's mother felt that these stories were much more interesting than stories like "The mother who leaped over the dragon gate became famous because of her son" and "The sixty-year-old lady guarding the country's borders."
For example, today, the story she read with great interest was called "The Rise of the Overlord", which seemed to be a rather legendary biographical novel, recording the story of a young hero named "Gu Pan" who started out as a common grassroots civilian, gradually grew into a strong man after an accidental encounter, and continued on the journey of saving the world.
At first, Zhou's mother even thought that this story might be about the big man in District D8B3 who went from being a scavenger to the director of the Administration Bureau. He was the idol in the hearts of all civilians.

……
……
7 p.m.
Xu Shu replaced the trash can on his back with a relatively better-looking black oval wine barrel, and quietly returned to his rented house at No. 2 Lanlingwangsi, Xiacheng District.
"Hey, Lao Bai told me before not to get involved in the fight between living cultivators and dead cultivators. I'm still so naive at my age!
"Where there are people, there is the Jianghu. People are the Jianghu. How can you avoid it? Unless you keep hiding yourself. But since I have already exposed my edge, I certainly can't stay out of it. If the city gate catches fire, the fish in the pond will surely be affected.
"Unless he calls upon a demigod to help, and takes my whole family across the wasteland, away from Penglai, and hides in another war zone!" Xu Shu silently complained in his heart as he approached his home like a rat stalking in the dark.
In fact, at a certain moment he really had such an impulse, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was unnecessary.
Where is there no struggle?
The only way to be truly stable is to improve your own strength.
Of course, everything so far is just Xiaoya's speculation, which may not be completely correct. The internal strife in Baiyujing may just be her unfounded worry.
But from Xu Shu's point of view, this possibility is indeed very high.
After all, there is an old saying that goes, when too many coincidences overlap, they are definitely no longer coincidences...
In addition, leaving aside the two local forces, the Deactivation Society and the Killing Ghost Sect, Voodoo belongs to the Quincy, and the Red Emperor Army belongs to the Savior Army.
Could it be that some evil cult is here to cause trouble again?
I actually encountered a small group of Nurgle cultists in the wasteland before. Although they were very weak, their teachings were common cults.
But the Quincy and the Saviors have criminal records...
However, why did they choose to attack the powerful first-class safety zone instead of the second-class and third-class safety zones? I had considered this issue before, and it shouldn't be so stupid... But fortunately, I mentioned it to Xiaoya. Given the strength of the local astronomy association, it won't be as bleak as the D8B3 zone. The number of demigods here can even be counted on two hands.
Damn it, there's a war between living cultivators and dead cultivators, and there's some suspected cult-like guys causing trouble, which has cost me the time to even spend more time with my family.
Why am I so unlucky that I can’t find a stable place to live anywhere?
Damn Savior Army, sooner or later I will kill you all!
Xu Shu cursed silently in his heart and soon arrived at the door.
At this moment of the night, the lights are just coming on and the overpass and street outside are quite lively with people coming and going.
However, the two houses of this family seemed unusually quiet.
The reason is simple. The blockade here was only removed this afternoon. There are only two households on each staircase and no one is there.
However, Xu Shu did not take it lightly, but quietly opened his spiritual vision and checked his surroundings.
After confirming that there was nothing strange watching or anyone waiting, he came to the door of his house, rummaged in his lace storage bag, and took out the key.
"It's only been a few days and it's already a bit rusty. The local door locks are really not authentic."
Xu Shu tried several times but failed to get it in. He thought it would be too embarrassing to use the 'Nine Wears and One Foot' method to get through the wall when he got home, so he had to go through the front door.
So he applied some lubricant, rubbed the thick and long metal key up and down on the tight and moist outside of the keyhole on the door, spread it evenly, and then aligned it.
Mushrooms~
With a strong push, the key was inserted into the bottom of the keyhole and tightly engaged with the lock core that had not been seen for a long time.
Obviously, this cute little lock core had already been shaped like Xu Shu's key, and it fit perfectly without any gaps.
"call!"
Xu Shu let out a long breath and twisted his body hard to adjust his position.
Snap, sizzle!
Xu Shu forced the door open a crack. With his tall stature, he almost filled the crack, and then he squeezed in silently.
The fairly spacious home was empty, with only the colorful neon lights shining in from the window, making the place seem even quieter.
Xu Shu glanced around and without much hesitation, he quickly came to his room and looked under the bed with ease.
Very good, Wu Liuzhi’s brocade box storage bag is still there and has not been taken away!
"Haha, it seems that the people who came here to investigate don't know the value of the goods, otherwise I would have to go to the Judgment Department to get it."
Xu Shu shook his head and laughed. Not to mention that this storage equipment itself was quite rare, he also had a lot of money hidden inside it.
After some operation, he simply wrapped the brocade box with cloth and hung it horizontally behind his waist, using it as a crossbar for the wine barrel containing the amber orange cat.
This shape looks a bit weird, but its advantage is that it can keep the wine barrel stable and ensure that the blood inside does not spill.
Afterwards, Xu Shu walked around the house and took away all the documents including his and his family's identity documents, proof of residence, and even the not-so-important rental contract, to make sure nothing was left out. As for the newly purchased furniture, since there was no place to put it after moving out, it could only be left here.
After doing all this, Xu Shu sat under the sofa, reminiscing about his past life, and restraining his breath, just like a wooden doll - he wanted to wait and see whether Voodoo or Bruce White would come back!
"Hey, returning to the crime scene is a common behavior of many criminals, but the hope is probably slim."
Xu Shu raised the corner of his mouth. If the other party came, he would definitely give them a big surprise!
After waiting for a long time and seeing nothing unusual, he felt a little bored, so he pushed his underwear drive and browsed while paying attention to his surroundings.
brush!
A pale golden screen opened in front of him, and the upgraded network interface was quickly shrunk to the size of a palm, displaying familiar words:
* Upgraded network
*Gu Pan (Taichu), Level 3 Dragon Elephant
*Contributions: 33149
-
Looking at the slightly exaggerated numbers above, Xu Shu smiled and was also a little expectant.
According to Lu Bingwei, they should have come out of the ruins by now.
Xu Shu remembered it very clearly. Before, in the secret realm of Qingshan Temple, Yan Huoxing agreed that he would help them fight, and they had to compensate him with things worth the value of a third-rank Yin King and Corpse King to make up for his losses.
Don't forget it!
What made him feel relieved was that there were indeed three more friend requests in the lower left corner.
When I opened it, they were Yan Huoxing, Ai Li and Lu Bingwei.
Among them, Ai Li and Lu Bingwei both used their real names. Of course, these real names may also be nicknames. Xu Shu didn’t know them well, so he just assumed they were their real names.
As for Huo Xing, he used the phrase "Ice and Fire".
"This guy is more playful than me by using this kind of name." Xu Shu accepted the friend request with a smile.
Brother Haha and Ai Li greeted him very politely, saying "Hello, Brother Xu" all the time, which made Xu Shu feel very happy.
Lu Bingwei remained cold and only said one sentence.
"Open your payment entrance." - Lu Bingwei, third-level celestial master.
When Xu Shu saw this, he didn't care anymore and quickly connected with her.
The next second, I received a message: [You received 15000 contribution points from "Lu Bingwei", which has been automatically added to the total contribution amount. Current contribution: 48149]
"Give so much?" Xu Shu's eyelids twitched and he became energetic, with all the complaints he had just had gone away.
At this time, Lu Bingwei replied: "It's not much. It's calculated based on the subsidy that Qingshan Temple promised to give you and the three treasures you took in the duel field. Do you think it's enough?"
"Enough, enough, enough. You are worthy of being Melanie's disciple. You are honest and trustworthy. I can trust you!" Xu Shu sent a thumbs-up emoji.
The other party did not reply.
Xu Shuxin thought that this little flat-chested girl was really cold. After all, they were comrades who had been through life and death together, but she didn't even know how to be more enthusiastic.
He was about to close the private chat, but saw Lu Bingwei add: "I have provided the Astronomical Society with the battle video footage of the Red Emperor Army framing you, and I have cleared your name."
what?
So fast?
and many more……
"Where did you get the battle video?" Xu Shu wondered.
"I picked up the drivers of the two dead paladins." Lu Bingwei said, "Let's talk if you have anything else. I'm busy."
"See you later, we may have a chance to work together."
Xu Shu closed the dialog box, thinking that this 'Microwave-proof' was indeed amazing. She was beaten to a pulp and half dead, but she still knew to take away the "evidence". Could it be that she predicted that she would be framed after being released?
As expected of a professional, his ideas are better than mine.
Xu Shu didn't think much about it and decisively opened the world channel to check, and found that there was no corresponding pinned post to clarify for himself.
However, the post that previously said "There is no way to eliminate this hatred" was pushed to the front again.
Xu Shu clicked on it and saw that there were indeed a large number of small accounts with the affix of Astronomy Society flooding the screen with replies, and the content was quite consistent:
[With the authorization of the formation and the ruling of the Astronomical Society, Zhang Runzhi (Level 3 Butcher), the Golden Eyed Wolf Knife, betrayed his teammates in the ruins and is wanted according to the law. Since he is dead, he is exempted from subsequent accountability; Gu Pan (Level 3 Dragon Elephant), the cunning man, saved many teammates from danger and never left them, and preserved many living forces for the human race. He has made great contributions. According to the relevant provisions of the Astronomical Society's "Superhuman Alliance Cooperation Regulations", he is awarded the second-class combat merit! ]
There were as many as one hundred such replies, dominating the screen for nearly an hour, and they were all from official accounts with the nickname "Astronomy Association XXX".
In the subsequent comments, many passers-by who were originally skeptical about the matter and said that "there is no way to eliminate this hatred" also changed their tone:
"Fuck, I was deceived by those bastards of the Red Emperor Army. I admit that I was impulsive before and shouldn't have doubted Brother Gu Pan. I apologize to Brother Gu Pan!"
"That's right, I've said it before that our brother Gu Pan is the best person!"
"I won't say anything more. It's all in the wine...I'll drink three cups as punishment to apologize to Brother Shuzi!"
Some of these people originally supported Xu Shu, while many others had previously stood on the opposite side and fought against Xu Shu.
Xu Shu felt quite satisfied at first, until his subsequent painting style began to develop in a strange direction.
"Hunter Association, stand at attention and salute the Iron Bull! Loyalty! Sincerity!"
"The Arctic Ice Palace stands at attention... Prostrate Steel Rhino, loyal! Sincere!"
"The Elswick Royal Court stands at attention... Giant Muscle Overlord, loyal! Cheng!"
"...The unbreakable golden spear, loyalty!"
"…Grass Python Hero, Loyalty!!"
"——A man of the cunning ways! Loyal!!!"
"Isn't it you who fucked me?"
Looking at the word "loyalty" all over the screen, Xu Shu almost laughed out of anger.
Who took the lead in this?
These guys had better come and apologize instead of taking advantage of the situation to mock his past messy titles!
I have to say that with the protection of the Internet, everyone is quite free and easy.
He can bravely admit his mistakes without being afraid of losing face; he can also boldly mock Xu Shu, a strong man on the human list, without being afraid of offending him.
Anyway, you can post anonymously. If it gets really popular, the people on the top of the Heavenly Ranking will curse you all they want and won’t be polite to you at all.
Xu Shu shook his head and sighed, but in this way, he gained both face and profit.
I just don’t know if the “Second Class Merit” of the Astronomical Society is of high value, and no one has said it…
and many more.
Xu Shu pondered and found something was wrong.
He found that although these small accounts of the Astronomical Society gave him "fairness", they did not mention the other mastermind, Yan Hui, throughout the article!
How is this going?
Xu Shu felt that this was unreasonable, and quickly opened Lu Bingwei's private message to inquire about this matter.
After a while, Lu Bingwei sent a message explaining the reason.
Yan Hui and everyone else are not teammates, so it cannot be considered a betrayal. It is just a normal move in the ruins to fight for treasures and does not violate any relevant laws. There is only one person who truly betrayed and should be wanted according to the law, and his debt is settled when he dies.
Xu Shu was stunned when he saw this. His first thought was, what a fool! Killing people is not illegal?
Then I realized something.
That is, in the relevant laws issued by the Astronomical Society, there is really no clause that "people cannot kill or fight each other in the ruins."
It seems that the formation is quite supportive of everyone fighting each other, so the law enacted by the Astronomical Society against the extraordinary people is based on this aspect?
It does not matter.
The important thing is, the person who was nearly killed was one of the seven direct disciples of Melanie, the president of the Astronomical Society. The evidence is irrefutable. Can't the Astronomical Society directly issue a wanted order for Yan Hui?
You can obviously do it...
Xu Shu was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and then understood.
Obviously, this is definitely because the astronomical society does not want to give others a chance to criticize them.
If this is really done, wouldn't it be abusing power for personal gain?
Therefore, it demonstrates the fairness and justice of the Astronomical Society.
This Master Dongxuan has a lot of idol baggage...
But perhaps it is precisely because of this that the Astronomical Society can still have such great credibility in this era?
Xu Shu was filled with emotion, but it was also good this way. Yan Hui was just a mere Yan Hui, and he was lucky enough to escape from the ruins. Sooner or later, he would kill this guy to avenge the sword attack on him that day!
He silently took note of the grudge and then looked at the message again.
The next news is from the bride Xie Xiaochan.
After an afternoon of arrangements, she had successfully sold the relics.
After deducting the pension that needed to be distributed to the families of the three victims, Ainz, Ning Zhaoxuan, and Lin Zhengxing, the rest of the people received an average of 1800 contribution points.
Among them, Xie Xiaochan secretly told Xu Shu that because he contributed the most, he was given a full 5000 yuan;
She also took a little more for herself to make up for the consumption of the trigger "Cunzhi" knife.
Seeing how well she treated him, Xu Shu was touched. He swallowed back his words that Ainz's compensation should be given to him, and then he did some calculations and transferred a full 7000 points to the bride instead.
"This is the treasure of the duel arena that Lu Bingwei and the others took away. It's mine. Sister Chan, you decide how to divide it." Xu Shu said sweetly.
"Shit, they didn't even add me!"
Xie Xiaochan was quite angry, and then she divided the 7000 contribution points in half, half for Xu Shu and half for her.
"Um, what about the others?" Xu Shu couldn't help but ask.
Xie Xiaochan groaned and said, "Just take it. I have my own judgment in my mind. Considering their contribution, it is more than enough. Hehe, if I had known you were so capable, I should have adjusted the team configuration!"
"..." Seeing this, Xu Shu thought that this really touched his heart.
If everyone at that time was at the level of masters on the Human Ranking, and a dozen people formed a team, they could have gone to even the most dangerous circle mentioned by Wujie.
Seeing this, he stopped hesitating and accepted it with peace of mind, and said goodbye to the young bride politely.
Then, looking at the display of [Contribution: 49649], Xu Shu suddenly felt a strong sense of satisfaction in his heart.
Look, look!
Fifty thousand contributions, if converted into the common currency of the mainland, would be more than five hundred million.
Now, as "Five Hundred Million Detective Xu Shu", I can finally be considered a rich man!
This is how a third-level master lives!
What was it like to worry about money every day in the past?
As a result, his "Dragon Elephant" spell seal is now over level 7. According to the price of a third-level blue crystal of 500 to 600 points, such a huge amount of money is enough for him to practice directly to the full level...
Xu Shu counted with his fingers with great interest, and suddenly his face turned bitter.
He found that even with his own horrific consumption, it was still difficult for him to reach the maximum level with such a huge amount of resources.
However, it is definitely more than enough to cultivate to level 12, the middle stage of the third order.
It is even possible to reach the later stage (level 16)!
Sure enough, just as Bozhaozi and the others said, after one’s strength reaches the third level, there will actually be no shortage of cultivation resources such as crystals.
What is really lacking are the various resources needed to break through the bottleneck, such as finding natural treasures with special effects, and the opportunity to practice dual cultivation with high-level nuns...Xu Shu glanced at the little orange cat and suddenly smiled.
But I don’t need these!
I, Xu Shu, have no bottleneck period!
He began to calculate how the money would be spent.
I will definitely continue to make money later, but for the next period of time, I will quietly upgrade, first to the third stage; I can earn money by going into the ruins anyway, of course it may not be as much as this time, after all, this time I accidentally entered a super-large ruins, I dare not rashly go a second time...
But even so, at the rate at which I make money, I won't have to worry about getting crystals. Can I consider saving money directly to buy a piece of "divinity"?
If Ning Baishou’s head is worth a million contributions, one million should be enough to buy it, right?
Of course, the premise is that there are people selling it. I haven’t seen such high-end items on the trading channel yet...
Xu Shu took a deep breath, feeling very confident.
He immediately posted a message in the world channel [Jun Moxiao, come out to see me], and planned to refresh himself after a period of time. After all, it seemed that Teacher Panpan might not have come out of the ruins yet.
After doing all this, Xu Shu no longer waited.
It was almost midnight, and still no one was found. It seemed that neither Voodoo nor the Red Emperor Army leader Bruce White were the kind of people who had the evil taste to return to the crime scene to watch the show.
"It's about time to find a place to practice."
Xu Shu stretched and wanted to find a hotel to clean up, so as to keep some dignity for this home where he had just moved in.
"Alas, the world is too chaotic. I have to find another place to settle my family. I am afraid we may never meet again after we part today. Goodbye to my leather sofa, goodbye to my round table, goodbye to my spring bed!"
Xu Shu closed the door quietly and left the cabin like a traveler about to set sail.
He turned around and stood there in a daze.
At the door of 88B across the corridor, a group of men in black of varying heights walked out quietly.
The leader was over nine feet tall, wearing a white coat and long boots, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes. His aura was condensed and perfect, just like a sheathed blade, his eyebrows and eyes were like a full moon, and he was holding an eight-foot Chilong sword. His only shortcoming was that there were a series of marks on the left half of his face that looked like burning flames, like birthmarks, and they kept jumping like strange tadpoles. Even from a long distance, one could feel the burning breath.
"..."Xu Shu appeared quietly and stunned the man in black.
"..."The man in black appeared quietly and startled Xu Shu.
Wow, Voodoo? Or White?
Good guy actually dares to come and die!
But why does this big guy in front look familiar?
Xu Shu was suddenly surprised. He stopped when he was about to take action. He stared at the seven or eight people opposite him, with more than a dozen eyes staring at each other.
Quiet.
Absolute silence.
Only the faint sound of ticking clocks could be heard in the room, shaking as if urging someone to die.
The strange silence lasted for more than a minute, until the nine-foot-tall man in the lead showed a light of extreme hatred in his eyes and almost roared, destroying the tranquility:
"... Xu! Shu!"
Before the hoarse roar could even finish, a cold light had already torn through the space and slashed directly in front of Xu Shu with lightning speed.
In an instant, Xu Shu only saw a full moon falling to the earth, and countless moon-like rays filled every inch around him, as if blocking the entire space and making it impossible for him to advance or retreat.
"?"
Xu Shu took a breath of cold air.
Now I recognize it.
Grass!
Damn it, it’s Yan Hui who’s coming!
His ultimate move is when he strikes, when the swallows return, the moon is full in the west building!
When enemies meet, they are extremely jealous of each other. Facing such a terrifying and breathtaking sword, facing such a sword that he had no time to dodge and could not dodge, Xu Shu did not hesitate or take any chances. Without saying a word, he took a horse stance, grasped the ground tightly, and crossed his hands to chop down in response to Yan Hui's call.
"Jing! Wei!"
--laugh!
The collision between the moon and the golden body did not produce the expected violent explosion, but instead it was like the collision of ice and fire, melting silently!
Taking advantage of this opportunity to suppress and fight, the other men in black began to move, shaking various silver crosses and golden wine glasses in their hands, exuding a strong sense of oppression.
This is actually a whole team of third-level masters!
They took up their positions, blocking Xu Shu's possible escape route, and shook their magic weapons with a mixture of crying and laughing. A large number of ripples that were invisible to the naked eye instantly appeared in all directions, and seemed to form a vortex that enveloped him.
"Revelation 04: Crying to Heaven and Earth!"
In just a few breaths, the formation was completed, blocking everything and trapping Xu Shu inside.
Wings can't escape!
