The rising sun shatters the darkness!

Chapter 494 Lurking (asking for monthly ticket)

Xu Shu had just experienced a life-and-death experience. The oppressive feeling of being surrounded by powerful enemies and his life in danger was real. In this situation, would he be in the mood to drink and take care of his sisters' business?

Of course not.

After all, Xu Shu is a person who has experienced many life experiences and has long been indifferent to life and death.

Given his many legendary life experiences, it is not an exaggeration to call him "Old Ancestor Xu".

Beauty is nothing but a skeleton, and gambling and drugs are irreconcilable!
So his purpose is simple.

"I was just joking. Actually, I was thinking that the enemy might come back again, right? So I plan to wait nearby, and you should also arrange some spies here." Xu Shu said confidently.

Xiaoya said, "You mean they might return? That's possible, although the possibility is very small... Well, what you really want to say is, you take care of the waiting and I'll take care of the search?"

"Of course, after all, I can't find anyone." Xu Shu said.

"Okay! In this way, you and I can act separately and move forward at the same time. We can surround the point and attack the reinforcements, and take care of each other without delaying things. It's three birds with one stone! Very good, you are thoughtful." Xiaoya thought for a while, analyzed calmly, and immediately understood Xu Shu's intention.

Xu Shu was stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly: "Oh, yes, yes, yes, that's right, that's right, that's it, I'll take my leave now, Sister Jiang Chengzi!"

He waved his hand, leaving Xiaoya with only his back, and crossed the overpass and the street, struggling to make his way through the bustling crowd.

Finally, they entered the high-end hotel where there were many beautiful women at the door and it was obvious that it had some shady business.

"…Tsk. Can't we choose some other place? You lecherous villain brother!"

Xiaoya looked at them with disdain, her eyes lingering on the graceful windows with dim shadows, a humane sigh flashed across her face, and finally moved to Xu Shu's back.

To be precise, he was looking at the protruding horizontal bar behind his waist.

From Xiaoya's perspective, Xu Shu now looked like a large "Benzene" shape. The long brocade box around his waist and the large wine barrel containing Alice were quite conspicuous.

"This brocade box..." Xiaoya stammered a few times, frowned, and looked puzzled. After a moment, she muttered silently, "What a huge space prop! The cost must be very high. Where did this kid get such a good thing?

"Ah, the internal structure of this thing must be ingenious. I must borrow it from him and take it apart to study it if I get a chance!"

Xiaoya was itching to work.

At this time, Xu Shu was already familiar with the route and had booked a room in a perfect location in the hotel.

Here, he can easily observe the situation around his own 88A, and any movement there can be seen at a glance.

"Oh, I don't know if Yan Hui dares to come again. If he does come... I will definitely send people to trap him to death! Let them have a taste of what it feels like to be besieged!"

Xu Shu silently kept this grudge in mind, but at the same time he felt a little scared.

In the final analysis, I was really lucky this time. In the safe zone, Yan Hui was afraid of the consequences and saw that he could not defeat me in a short time, so he retreated decisively without further entanglement.

What if this happened in the wasteland, or some isolated place?
If that were the case, I would still have a chance to escape if I risked my life. Although Yan Hui was strong, it would not be easy for him to kill me alone. But Alice was doomed to be in trouble.

The reason for this is that my strength is not strong enough!

After all, I am only in the early stage of the third level, and my strength is only at the bottom of the human list. I am still specialized in defense and self-defense, which is more than enough in most situations. But once I meet the real top masters among the third level, I will be stretched everywhere.

Although they are all at the third level, the gap between mid-sequence masters is really bigger than that between humans and dogs!
Fortunately, in the safe zone, with the support of the Judgment Department, there is still a lot of protection.

If you want to get involved in a gang, it is not enough to just be able to fight. You also need background and power. A hero has three helpers... This is the real way to rely on friends when you go out...

Of course, the most important thing is to improve yourself, so practice cannot be neglected.

Previously, there was a lack of resources for cultivation, and I was always running around for a few taels of silver.

Now that he has accumulated a lot of money in the ruins, Xu Shu will not do something unwise like a miser.

Wealth is most reliable only when it is transformed into strength.

While sighing silently, Xu Shu had already taken off his clothes, laid in the bathtub, plugged the plug, swallowed the crystal, and started [Sit-ups].

Amidst gurgling sounds, blood continued to spurt from Xu Shu's body like a shower, soon filling the entire bathtub.

He then took Alice out of the wine barrel and put her into the pool of blood, rising and falling with her.

If anyone else saw such a weird scene, they would definitely think that Xu Shu was a crazy cult member who was holding a horrific sacrificial ceremony here.

After all, the blood that burst out when he devoured the crystal actually had a strong corrosive smell and kept bubbling, which looked weird and evil.

But as the old saying goes, good blood should be cherished and bad blood should not be wasted.

If you love cats, give them the freshest blood!
Mushrooms, mushrooms...

……

……

The society in Baiyujing is strictly hierarchical and well-organized, with each level having its own unique order.

Not to mention the high-class people in the upper city, even the upper-class people in the lower city have begun to enjoy the leisure and bustle of the night, the bright lights, the wine and women, and the extravagant life.

But the lower you go and the worse the conditions are, the less leisurely and elegant you will find.

Life with heavy burdens always makes people unable to stand up straight.

Working from 9 to 5 and having to endure nagging from the boss.

Even at midnight, there are still many workers who have just finished their shifts walking out of the factories located on the bottom floor of the city, filled with mechanical roars and air pollution.

They walk on the dark and slippery alleys, returning to their small homes in this city where they can't even see the sunlight but have to work hard to maintain them - their families are the only concern in their hearts, and working hard to make money and create better living conditions for their families is the life of these people, or these cattle and horses.

However, even such a small group of people, when they think of the prosperity of Baiyujing, can't help but feel proud from the bottom of their hearts, and feel that they are doing "okay".

Because if it was in the wasteland outside the city, then human life would be worse than dog's.

In the wasteland, even in towns governed by the best directors, there are countless criminals and gangsters running rampant, and violence and oppression are everywhere.

Not to mention the monsters that appear from time to time and choose to eat people. Ordinary people may lose their families and lives if they are not careful. It is really a luxury to even live a good life.

But it is different in the city. Even in the slums like the bottom of Baiyujing where all kinds of people are mixed, there is order. Even though there are some criminals hiding here as illegal residents, no matter how brutal the illegal residents are or how powerful the lawless criminals are, they will behave themselves.

In the city, if you are a dragon you have to coil up, and if you are a tiger you have to lie down.

In the city, only the poor people like me can survive as if we are not animals.

Because it is really fair, safe, and free here!
This is not because Eric is "worshipping China and Beijing" or deliberately trying to drag people down. Rather, as someone who once moved into the city from outside the city with great difficulty, he really has the experience and experience in this area to say this.

Not only that, but there are at least two.

The first experience came from his brother Wright. He was killed because he married a beautiful wife. Now his brother's wife was adopted by him, and the two of them had several children in the city.

The second experience is even more intuitive because it comes from what he is experiencing now.

Eric pulled a cart full of food and water and walked openly in the dark alley, and no one paid attention to him.

He made many detours and finally entered a warehouse that few people would visit. He delivered the supplies inside, knocked on the door, and said humbly, "Sir, everything you want is here. Are you satisfied with my service?"

The other party replied with a "hmm", closed the door, and lightly handed over a piece of money wrapped in a black plastic bag.

Eric opened it and counted, exactly one hundred!

"Look, even these high-ranking extraordinary people have to be polite to us as long as they live in this downtown area. Even though we charge such a high premium, they still have to give us five-star reviews for our services!" Eric was very proud.

He had long guessed that the man who looked gentle and refined like a male teacher was no simple man, but he still felt that his life had reached its peak.

The next second, his eyes suddenly blurred and he found that he seemed to see a full moon.

Um, full moon?

Living in the downtown area, how long has it been since I saw such a beautiful moon?

I really want to ask Madeline and the others to come and watch...

Eric's thoughts stopped at this moment.

His body slowly disintegrated on the spot, like a stiff snowman, breaking into pieces. If you look at it with a magnifying glass, you can find that the edges of these pieces are extremely neat and square, but they look like minced meat because they are cut too finely.

Blood mixed with meat residue and fiber fragments of clothing slowly flowed along the roadside drainage ditch into the deeper sewer.

In a hidden warehouse, Brooke White, who was drinking tea, shook her hands and looked up at the door.

A figure flashed continuously and approached. He was tall and burly, wearing a long robe and a hat covering his face. The red tadpole runes were still dancing on the exposed part of his cheeks. A wide and narrow cowhide knife bag was hung around his waist. It was Yan Hui who evacuated from Xu Shu's house.

"Commander Yan Hui, what are you doing? I paid for it." White pointed outside the door and asked curiously.

With his strength, he could naturally sense that the worker outside who was responsible for purchasing supplies for him had completely disappeared from the world.

And the one who took action was Yan Hui.

Why would Yan Hui kill an ordinary civilian for no reason? White was puzzled.

Yan Hui sat down, poured himself a glass of water, and said expressionlessly: "I don't like his hairstyle."

"Hairstyle? What hairstyle? This guy is so moody..."

White muttered to himself, and quickly waved his hand to let the two men next to him go out. He did not forget to tell them, "Deal with that guy's family. Be careful and don't bring in anyone from the Judgment Department."

After arranging to clean up the other party's mess, he directed the rest of his men to pack up and prepare to run away.

Although the aftermath has been dealt with, this place can no longer be used as a hiding place.

It’s all Yan Hui’s fault. Why did he kill someone for no reason? That guy’s wife was obviously very attentive. Especially the way she wanted to scream but didn’t dare to. She was really a pretty good piece of stuff... Bishop White complained silently in his heart.

Yan Hui hesitated for a moment, then suddenly frowned and said, "Didn't you say Wu Liuzhi was over there? I went there, but didn't meet him. What a pity. We could have formed an alliance."

"Ah? You, you went to look for that person?" White was so shocked that he almost wanted to jump up and fight with Yan Hui.

Is this guy crazy? What does he want to do? Form an alliance? He wants to form an alliance with Wu Liuzhi? Why didn't he inform me in advance? Damn it, doesn't he know that I have a grudge against him...

If I had known this guy was so reckless, I shouldn’t have said so much to him before. This idiot, this fool, this fool who deserves to go to hell…

Yan Hui didn't notice White cursing at him in his heart. He finished the boiling water in the cup and said to himself in the mist: "The Judgment Department has noticed us. Pretending to cooperate, but actually letting this person go out to attract firepower is the best way to break the deadlock. What a pity. However, the Judgment Department has also noticed him, and the purpose has been largely achieved."

Recalling the previous encounter with Xu Shu, the Judge, who was only one step away from being surrounded and killed, Yan Hui exhaled again, suppressed the hatred in his heart, and looked at White: "But, are you sure Wu Liuzhi is really in the city?"

"I can confirm that." White nodded simply.

He already had an opinion of Yan Hui in his mind, thinking that Yan Hui had no respect for him as a partner, so he was not willing to discuss the topic in detail with him.

When Yan Hui saw White's lifeless appearance, and thought about how the eight men of the Red Emperor Army were unable to kill Xu Shu, the anger that he had just suppressed suddenly rose again, and he had a different opinion of White and even the foreign devils, including the other members of the Red Emperor Army.

Compared to this group of guys, my colleagues are indeed much more reliable!
For a while, the two of them were fed up with each other.

After a while, Yan Hui still frowned and said, "So, the whereabouts of the loving father's followers are still not found? How do the people of the Deactivation Society do their work?"

"...Uh, speaking of this, there is a question." White said suddenly.

"What's the problem?" Yan Hui knew in his heart that it was definitely not a good thing, but he still needed to ask clearly.

"We've also lost contact with the people from the Deactivation Society. The difference is that this time it was them who took the initiative," said White.

"The other party took the initiative? What does that mean?" Yan Hui's eyes narrowed.

"Strictly speaking, it was the other party who deleted me on his own initiative." White said, opening his upgraded network interface, pointing to several chat records on it, and showing them to Yan Hui in a serious manner.

The above is a conversation between White and the two leaders of the Resurrection Society, "Tiger" and "Rat".

This basically meant that the other party would report on the mission status from time to time, and White would only reply with one or two sentences.

The most recent chat record was two days ago, when White was asking about the details of the other party's mission, but there was only one prompt on it:
[Sending failed, please add the other party as a friend first]

"..."

Seeing such a bizarre scene, even a cold-blooded Yan Hui opened his mouth wide and couldn't close it for a long time.

He stared at the chat records between White, Zishu and others, totally unable to understand.

After a while, White pushed his glasses and said politely, "I think they betrayed us and joined the Astronomical Society. You know, people in the Eastern Theater always like to break their promises."

"..." Yan Hui looked at White deeply again and shook his head speechlessly.

Although he didn't say anything, Yan Hui intuitively judged that this was definitely not the reason.

Otherwise, the people from the Deactivation Society should have found ways to meet with him and others, and cooperate with the Judgment Department to set a trap and catch them all in one fell swoop, instead of losing contact like this.

Considering the disappearance of the loving father's family member, and because of the sensitive identity of the Red Emperor Army, they delegated or outsourced this mission to an inactivation group that was more familiar with the local area.

If we refer to the two things in connection with each other, the answer will be obvious.

Obviously, it must be these guys from the Resurrection Society. Because the mission failed, they were worried about being held accountable by Bishop White, so they simply cut off contact and became invisible, pretending that the cooperation had never happened!
Are you kidding?
Knowing so many inside stories, do you think you can stay out of it by unilaterally deleting your friends?
Is this just playing house?
Damn it! They are really a mob!
The helpers that a mob seeks are also a mob!

No, that's not right. It's fine if he kills others, but Rat is not that stupid, unless...

Yan Hui took a deep breath, as if he had thought of something, and logged into the Shengge network, found "Zi Shu", edited the voice and sent a message.

He wanted to try to see whether the Activation Society really wanted to "protect themselves". If the other party was really so stupid, he would have to find them and eliminate them!
drop.

The sending was successful.

Phew! It seems not so stupid!

Yan Hui immediately sent another message, asking the other party what did cutting off contact mean.

After a while, the rats in the inactivation society responded.

"I'm sorry, Commander Yan Hui. No offense intended. We have been waiting for your news! As for Bruce White, his identity has been exposed and he is wanted by the Judgment Bureau. We have to do this to avoid being found by Shun Tong and delaying the Emperor's plan. From now on, we will obey your orders." - Zi Shu, a third-rank military advisor.

Sure enough... Yan Hui heaved a sigh of relief, and then he comforted the people from the Resurrection Society, and at the same time, he looked at White fiercely as if he was an idiot.

This old guy always likes to put on airs and act like he knows everything because of his age, but his ability to do things is so unreliable that even his temporary allies dislike him.

Yan Hui felt that if he cooperated with such a group of guys, he would be defeated by his own people sooner or later!

After a brief thought, Yan Hui quickly made a further decision and said calmly: "I will report to the higher-ups and ask the church to send an additional follower. As for your mission, put it on hold for now and keep it as it is."

"Okay, then how do we arrange our people?" White asked calmly, knocking on the table.

Yan Hui looked at him expressionlessly, suppressed the urge to curse and said, "Everyone who has entered the city, hide from now on. I only have two requests for you. The first is to continue to gradually deploy manpower into Penglai from the periphery."

"That's easy. What's the second one?"

Yan Hui said word by word; "Second - absolutely, do not let anyone find you! On this basis, you can try to help me find the whereabouts of Wu Liuzhi."

"Well, that's not difficult to do." White was calm and thought that this was the only thing he could never help you do. Suddenly he said, "Oh, by the way, there's one more thing."

"Anything else?" Yan Hui clenched his fists. "What is it? Tell me."

White pressed his chest and said, "Mr. 'Scepter One' said he wanted to borrow twelve more knights from me."

Yan Hui was slightly stunned: "Hasn't it been lent to five people before?"

"He said he was very sorry, there was an accident and the group was wiped out."

"..."

"Commander Yan Hui, what is your opinion?"

"Let him go! The farther the better!" Yan Hui roared in intolerance.

……

Meeting Huansi (front), without Laozi and Zhuangzi.

Not long ago, one of the four great secret realms of Penglai appeared.

There was once a huge number of extraordinary people who came from all directions to this place to look for the remains of the mysterious sect and explore opportunities. They turned the entire town upside down in a few steps.

Now, more than a week has passed, and most of the treasure hunters who gathered have scattered, leaving the town in ruins, alone to suffer the pain brought by this unexpected disaster.

Post-disaster reconstruction seems a bit too much for a human town that has lost the protection of high-level transcendents.

Fortunately, there is always a way out. After the death of Director "Xiang Jianhuan", his territory was taken over by a new third-stage strongman.

In the pharmaceutical company building that originally belonged to the largest local group, two powerful women in luxurious clothes were issuing orders to the members of the newly formed Wu Lao Zhuang "garrison".

Afterwards, the two walked together, whispering.

One of the pure and cold women with turbulent emotions said, "Sister Rong, I'm new here and I'm just a nominal elder. My strength and cultivation haven't even reached the middle stage of the third rank. Would it be a bit rash to seize a place in the division?"

Another woman with a figure that was no less impressive and a more charming posture said with a smile, "Don't worry, little sister. If anyone disobeys, I will support you! Hehehe, Xiang Jianhuan was originally a traitor of the Destroying Society who turned over a new leaf. You have a great grudge against the Destroying Society, so it is most reasonable for you to inherit this place. It is a good opportunity to put a damper on their prestige."

"OK then."

The two women were extremely fast, running and shuttling between the mountains and fields. They were Xiao Yingrong, the director of "Ba Zhao Zi", and Jiang Biyun, who had suffered a heavy loss when she first came to Penglai.

Jiang Biyun, who returned from the Sea of ​​Death, became more capable and powerful. Not only did she not leave in disgrace, but she returned to Penglai and joined Xiao Yingrong's living cultivation organization, determined to seek revenge.

When they reached the top of a mountain, Xiao Yingrong continued, "By the way, when you are done with your new post, there are still some clues in my sister's territory. There is a village that was destroyed by the gangsters of the Resurrection Society. They were so arrogant that they left their names behind. You 'Hunters' are the best at tracking. Let's try to find him."

"Okay, thank you sister for your concern for my affairs. By the way, who is this person?" Jiang Biyun asked.

After a brief recollection, Xiao Yingrong gritted her teeth and said, "The vice presidents and executioners of the Resurrection Society are Yin Hu and Yu Mingluan!"

……

……

"Commander, two humans just passed by, one of them seems to be a demon-killing general!"

At the bottom of the abandoned mass grave, inside a mysterious ancient tomb, an extremely charming girl wearing a leather jacket and leather pants, with a heart-shaped tail on her butt, rushed in to report.

Her delicate and attractive face was filled with anger, as if she had a strong hatred for the "Demon-Slayer General" whom she did not even know.

"Aftila, don't disturb Lady Felicity's rest and recovery for these unimportant things! If you are hungry, you can go find someone to eat yourself." A charming beauty scolded angrily.

"This place is not safe. Nanazawa Mia is also dead. We must be careful. We must wait and be patient. We must not be found before the adults find the human who awakened her with his body." Another woman with an equally graceful and attractive figure, a look of excessive indulgence on her face, and fish scales on her arms, also stuttered and spoke unskillfully.

"Okay, I'm sorry." The girl who was scolded by her companion wiped the blood and cyan stains from the corners of her mouth and answered unhappily, but she did not really leave. Instead, she stood obediently in the crowd next to her, standing against the wall like a ceremonial soldier.

Looking throughout the entire tomb, there are actually more than a dozen women like this with some monster features on their bodies, half human, half ghost!

They all surrounded the broken coffin, waiting quietly, letting out an uncontrollable hum from their throats from time to time.

Amid the groaning and blood-pumping gasps, one could see a shriveled body lying in the coffin, like a mummy.

She was wearing a black gauze dress that made her look like an aristocrat, and her granulation tissue was growing at an extremely slow rate.

It seemed that they were gradually returning to a certain state, the state of statues placed on the altar in front of the broken coffin.

The statue, with seven arms, four heads, and a scarlet body twisted in an extremely irregular posture, was dressed in tattered clothes and exuded an evil aura of depravity and indulgence.

In the gradually dead silent space, there was only the sound of a heartbeat, which kept getting louder and louder, with a strong sense of rhythm, as if it was beating a special signal and transmitting information.

Boom, boom, boom.

beep...
