No strange things are allowed to evolve!

Although I learned from my father yesterday how terrifying the [Town of Lies] is, and how much more difficult it is than the [Creative Workshop] that almost caused my downfall.

But she inexplicably trusted Jiang Shu.

She felt that Jiang Shu could do it.

Moreover, she knew that Jiang Shu was an evolutionary being with the Love and Desire Spiritual Root, which gave her some confidence.

As time ticked by, and twelve hours were about to pass, Jiang Shu still hadn't come out, and her heart grew increasingly apprehensive.

Standing behind her was an elder of the sanctuary.

He was essentially a deputy director of a different department, not as powerful as the head of the executive department, but not much weaker either.

In fact, given Jiang Shu's rank, he wouldn't have made a move.

However, because the Snow King took it very seriously and hadn't slept a wink all night, he, as an elder, felt sorry for her and stayed here with her.

In addition to that, there is another reason.

That is, there were rebels within the Holy Temple who forcibly kidnapped people from the Bureau of Different Lineages. As the hosts, they felt very guilty and had no choice but to take it seriously and show their sincerity.

Actually, the chairman had planned to come and take a look, but it seems that after learning that his wife and daughter knew that unfortunate guy from the Bureau of Different Principles and seemed to care about him, he stopped coming, saying it was not in line with his status.

It was precisely because of his presence that the executive director, who had originally intended to come and visit, ultimately did not come; he simply spoke with them on the phone to express his gratitude.

After all, no matter how good the relationship is between the Bureau of Different Principles and the Holy Temple, it is still inappropriate for someone of their level to arbitrarily interfere in other people's territory, regardless of the reason.

As long as the Holy Church can show the appropriate attitude, he only needs to wait for the results and explanation from the Bureau of Heterodoxy.

Beside the elders of the Sanctuary were many of the Sanctuary's cadre-level evolved beings.

They were there to apprehend the rebels who were causing trouble on their turf.

The rebels are cunning and resourceful, so the president of the Holy Temple believed that even if she went in with the unlucky guy from the Bureau of Heresy, she could still come out safely, even if the unlucky guy from the Bureau of Heresy died inside.

So he sent out these evolved beings.

As the time drew nearer, their murderous aura grew stronger.

at last.

"Time is up..."

He murmured silently.

Everyone was on high alert.

despair!

The second hand of the clock in the lobby ticked softly.

A figure shrouded in mist appeared.

Shen Mo's brow furrowed even deeper, and his fists clenched tightly.

"Damn it..."

The reclining consultant, Liu, straightened up.

"Only...one?"

Snow King's face turned deathly pale.

Snow King's mother sighed and hugged Snow King even tighter.

At the same time, an elder of the Holy Temple spoke up: "Make your move! This man is no less capable than Team Leader Shen, don't hold back!"

"Yes!" The church's officers did not hesitate and immediately rushed towards the still-forming figure.

boom!

After a burst of dazzling, multicolored skills, the figure lost its ability to move before it could even take shape. Like a lamb to the slaughter, it was pinned to the ground and began to convulse violently by a group of cadres.

Suppressing his deep anger, Shen Mo stood up, intending to question them himself.

But just then...

"Fuck you all! I didn't betray you! I'm a law-abiding citizen!!"

The muffled sounds came out of Jiang Shu's still twitching mouth.

Shen Mo was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed.

No, no, no!

He was so excited that he couldn't speak clearly.

The elder nodded and instructed, "Increase the intensity, don't let him have the energy to continue cursing!"

"No, I mean stop hitting them!"

But it was too late.

Jiang Shu was already dizzy from being beaten unconscious.

Just before losing consciousness, he vaguely saw Strawberry Milkshake standing not far away, looking at him sympathetically and then waving at him.

Her lips seemed to be saying: See you next time.

Oh shit...

I was tricked...

Jiang Shu completely fainted.

Chapter 125 Reactions from All Sides

Jiang Shu opened her eyes.

I found myself in a hospital bed.

There were countless figures all around.

He opened his mouth.

Shen Mo bent down, but he couldn't hear a sound.

"Do you want water?" he asked.

"No, I didn't say anything just now." Jiang Shu shook his head: "I was asking which bastard ordered me to be beaten up?"

Everyone looked at the elder of the Holy Temple who had given the order earlier.

The elder's face clearly showed some embarrassment at this moment.

Fortunately, Shen Mo came to his rescue in time.

"You can't blame them. You were the only one who came out. We all thought you were the rebel. In that situation, taking advantage of the opportunity to subdue you was the best option."

To be honest, if the goal hadn't just been to capture her, but to actually use ruthless methods, you wouldn't have had a chance to breathe.

"Should I thank them?" Jiang Shu asked irritably.

"That's not what I meant," Shen Mo said, somewhat helplessly.

The elder stepped forward and said solemnly and sincerely, "Young man, I know you are upset. I apologize to you here. I did hurt you by mistake."

However, I hope you can understand that you now have a basic understanding of what kind of dangerous people these rebels are. No amount of harsh measures are too much for them, and if such situations arise again, we will continue to do so.

"okay."

Jiang Shu waved his hand:

"It's not that I'm being unreasonable, I'm just a little annoyed. After all, I finally managed to conquer an incubator, and then I got beaten up for no reason right after I came out. Anyone would feel uncomfortable in that situation, right? You can understand, right?"

"I understand, it was indeed a misunderstanding."

Seeing that Jiang Shu had so generously offered him a way out, the elder naturally accepted it.

He didn't have to be so humble, but he couldn't help it; both Jiang Shu's identity and the matter at hand were too sensitive.

First of all, Jiang Shu is a member of the Bureau of Different Principles, and he is also a friend of the Snow King. Even the Snow King's mother seems to care about him.

Secondly, this matter is related to the rebels, and it happened on the territory of the sanctuary.

It's good that nothing bad has happened yet. If something had happened, the harmonious situation wouldn't be like this now.

Seemingly to save face for the elders, Shen Mo pointed at Jiang Shu intentionally or unintentionally: "You know, this whole thing is a mess. But then again, the elders of the Holy Temple, ministerial-level figures, personally apologized to you, a fourth-rank officer. Regardless of whether they are truly righteous or not, I'll definitely look good in the eyes of others if word gets out."

The joking words easily dispelled the seriousness, soothing both sides and ultimately putting the pressure on himself.

This made Jiang Shu look at Shen Mo with surprise again.

He was once again certain that Shen Mo wasn't truly ignorant of social etiquette; he simply didn't like to use his brain when dealing with most people.

In short, since Shen Mo was just stirring things up and wasn't really angry, Jiang Shu, who was just venting, naturally had nothing to say.

At this point, Shen Mo finally got to the point.

"However, you're the only one who came out. Does that mean the rebel died inside?"

“No.” Jiang Shu shook his head: “She came out, but you didn’t notice. She has a catastrophic skill that can reduce her presence. It seems that she can even hide the abnormal phenomena when she left the incubator.”

Upon hearing this, everyone frowned.

Especially the people of the church.

They didn't look too good.

It's one thing to arrest the wrong person, but the person who should really be arrested slipped away right under everyone's noses.

If this gets out, where will the church put its face?

"If he had just taken a look, none of this would have happened."

Jiang Shu looked over upon hearing the voice and saw that the speaker was none other than the Snow King's mother.

He was lying in bed, surrounded by people, and hadn't noticed her for a moment.

The elder of the sanctuary knew she was referring to the president, and immediately said somewhat awkwardly, "If that's the only way to control her, then we'll lose face too..."

"That's still better than not being able to control it at all."

Snow King's mother was clearly an efficiency-first person:

"Can saving face be more important than business? Besides, everyone here is on our side, who would want to spread this around?"

The elders of the sanctuary shook their heads with a wry smile.

He felt that he and his wife might argue again tonight because of this.

In short.

Snow King's mother stepped forward and said to Jiang Shu with concern:

"My child, you just need to rest well. You don't need to worry about the rest. We will give you an explanation."

Jiang Shu was slightly puzzled upon seeing this.

The elders of the sanctuary are equivalent to the ministers of the Bureau of Heresy.

But the Snow King's mother seemed to have more say than the elders.

The person they mentioned seemed to be someone in whom nothing could stump him.

In four words, it can be described as "invincible".

Could it be...?

Thinking of this, Jiang Shu shook her head and said obediently, "Auntie, you don't need to be so polite. Our two families have this kind of relationship, and Xue Wang and I are good friends. Besides, I get along very well with you, Auntie."

So your business is my business, and my business is your business. There's no question of giving or not giving explanations.

More than that, I think you should investigate whether the Sanctuary has been infiltrated by rebels. I'm certain she didn't come here for me initially; we just happened to run into each other here. I suspect she has other motives.

"Oh, my good child."

Hearing Jiang Shu's words, Xue Wang's mother was clearly very moved.

Knowing how to conduct oneself, understanding when to advance and retreat, valuing relationships and loyalty, and genuinely and sincerely considering things from their perspective—this shows that they truly consider the Holy Temple as their own people and Snow King as a good friend.

"Don't worry, we're already investigating what you said, and I believe we'll have results soon. But we definitely need to give you an explanation. Even if we don't talk about those things, you are still a member of the Bureau of Unification, and the procedures still need to be followed. Just listen to your aunt, get some rest, and don't worry about it."

"Okay."

Shen Mo, standing to the side, frowned deeply.

Damn, has this kid discovered something?
