perfect savior

Chapter 44 Borrowing a Knife
"Tianzuo, Tianzuo..." The girl threw herself into the man's arms, trembling all over:

"Tianzuo, I'm so scared..."

"Don't be afraid, Xue'er, I'm here."

"But I'm still scared. I can't feel you. It's too dark and narrow here."

"It's okay, soon, soon you will come out of the coffin and stand in the sun openly."

"Really." The girl raised her head, revealing her insect-like mouthparts and dense wormholes all over her face:

"Tianzuo, can I stand in the sun like this?"

boom!
Zhou Tianzuo woke up suddenly, gasping for breath.

Looking at the wall shattered by himself, Zhou Tianzuo gave a wry smile, tidied up simply, and came to the bedroom next door.

A heavy coffin is placed here.

Zhou Tianzuo was lying beside the coffin, touching the coffin with his fingertips, from top to bottom, his movements were gentle and affectionate:
"Xue'er, I'm having a nightmare again."

"Ha, really, it seems like I haven't been able to sleep well since I devoured some of your flesh and drove the worm into my body."

"But it doesn't matter, my world can't live without you."

"I am willing to pay any price for this, no matter how many people I kill..."

……

Donghai Province, Xicheng.

Lu Yuan opened his eyes, sighed and took a sip of hot tea.

"The will is really firm...it's hard to change his mind."

Zhou Tianzuo's nightmare was naturally created by Lu Yuan.

For Xia Jinyan, Lu Yuan has always been very concerned. After all, this young teacher is the first person in the world to undergo a trial. His behavior can be a good reference. Lu Yuan can use this to revise the rules and adjust The strength of the tester's ring can maximize the talents.

However, Lu Yuan never thought that Xia Jinyan's trial could lead to so many things.

So, what to do next?

Lu Yuan unconsciously tapped on the window lattice.

The empress must be taken care of, and cannot be left alone. If it breaks out of Zhou Tianzuo's stomach in a day, it will cause too much damage.

"Should we disclose this matter to the Special Bureau, or simply send alchemy dolls directly..."

While Lu Yuan was thinking about countermeasures, the alchemy puppet who had been observing the situation in Yucheng suddenly sent an image.

Through the eyes of the puppet, Lu Yuan saw what was happening in Xicheng.

He was taken aback for a moment, then clapped his hands and smiled lightly:

"Excellent judgment."

……

Xia Jinyan made a special effort to dress up before going out.

Suit and leather shoes, tie on.

Even sitting in the reception room of the police station, he was extremely calm, as if he was at home.

After staying for less than 10 minutes, footsteps came from the door.

The door was opened, and a calm and handsome man of about 35 years old walked in:
"Mr. Xia, right? My name is Zhang Changgan, and I work in the Special Investigation Bureau."

"Hello." Xia Jinyan said very politely, but he didn't mean to stand up to greet him:
"Are we here?"

"It's right here."

Zhang Changgan didn't care about Xia Jinyan's attitude. If it was what he thought, and the young teacher in front of him was "from there", then this slight alienation and arrogance was completely normal.

"It's time to start, Section Chief." The subordinate's voice came from the micro-communication device hidden in the cochlea. Zhang Changqian knew that this meant that the entire police station had been emptied and temporarily taken over by the Special Bureau.

Zhang Changqian nodded imperceptibly, smiled and said:

"Mr. Xia, shall we start?"

"it is good."

"At 10:25 this morning, Xicheng Law Enforcement Department received a text message saying [I helped you in the Catacombs]. After investigation, it was sent from your real-name registered mobile phone number."

"Yes, I wrote it myself and sent it to you."

"Mr. Xia, what do you mean by Catacombs?"

"Hey..." Xia Jinyan smiled lightly and shook his head, his body leaned forward, and his tone became solemn:

"Section Chief Zhang, let's skip these warm and lengthy temptations, and let's be frank, I can tell you directly, in the underground, I was the one who brought Chi Chi and you together."

Zhang Changqian's pupils suddenly shrank.

I never mentioned my job...

Xia Jinyan was keenly aware of Zhang Changqian's shock:

"Although it's not as good as a few days ago, I still can't hear the voice coming from your cochlea."

Zhang Changgan was silent, took out the micro-communicator, and put it into the fish tank in front of Xia Jinyan.

"Mr. Xia, I'm sorry for my job."

"It's okay, I just hope that we can reach a preliminary trust and start early."

"Alright, Mr. Xia, what exactly is your identity?"

"In addition to the third-year teacher of Yucheng No. [-] Middle School, I am also a tester of the temple."

Temple?It's really not easy, I only know the name of that mysterious organization now...

Zhang Changqian suppressed the excitement in his heart, and continued:
"Mr. Xia, can you talk about the temple and the testers in detail?"

"I can't say, and I don't know." Xia Jin said calmly:

"What I can tell you is that I am a tester, and my task is to clear the moth-eating lair near Yucheng and kill all the evil creatures inside, but..."

"However, I failed."

"After the nest was conceived and bred, it was not yet born, but it lived in the human body... The sojourner's name is Zhou Tianzuo, male, 23 years old, ID number..."

Zhang Changgan recorded it carefully and asked:

"Mr. Xia, what do you want us to do?"

"Kill him." Xia Jin's words were gentle, but with an iron will:

"I have known Zhou Tianzuo for a long time, and I know this person very well. He is a guy with super action at any cost...especially when it is for his most important people."

"Is there any basis for this judgment?"

"I can't be wrong."

"Okay..." Zhang Changqian nodded seriously, and said curiously:
"May I ask, Mr. Xia, even a layman like me understands the reason why ministers are not secretive... Tell us this information, did you inform the temple in advance?"

"No, coming here today is entirely my own decision."

The young teacher remains calm:

"When I was a tester, it was my task to kill Chi Chi, but unfortunately, I did not kill Chi Chi, which may cause Yucheng to fall into turmoil in the future, so I failed."

"But now, even though I am no longer a tester of the temple, I am still a human being. I tell you that it is my duty to kill the queen and its sojourners with your hands."

"Maybe, I will be punished by the temple in the future...but at least for now, I have a clear conscience."

"Thank you for your courage and wisdom, Mr. Xia." Zhang Changqian stood up first. He didn't ask any more questions, but ended the conversation on his own initiative.

This includes not only respect for Xia Jinyan's personality, but also a fear of the temple.

"Okay, then I'll go first."

The young teacher seemed to have relieved his burden. He let out a long sigh of relief and pushed open the door.

But the moment he stepped out of the door with his left foot, Zhang Changgan's voice came from behind him:
"Mr. Xia... I don't know if I should say something..."

"Although, I heard the name of the temple for the first time today, and I don't know anything about the temple, but I work in the public office, and some principles are always inferences."

"I'm very confused... what is the criterion for the success or failure of a tester?"

"You see, you failed. The people in charge of the temple will definitely know about it, but they haven't sent reinforcements yet, and they haven't contacted you actively. You are forced to find us and want to use the power of the government to get rid of you. Drop the ticking time bomb hidden in society."

"Mr. Xia, the authorities are obsessed. Even if you are as smart as you, you still can't see clearly what happened to you."

"Is it possible...you are still in the trial?"
