The rising sun shatters the darkness!

Chapter 142: You still say you are not a slave? (First update asking for monthly tickets)

"I'm back." - Gu Pan, a first-class strongman.

Xu Shu sent a message.

The team channel of the upgraded network can only prompt "teammates offline", and there is no online prompt.

Moreover, after logging off, the team channel will not retain historical chat records.

Only private messages can retain history.

Therefore, after Xu Shu finished sending the message, he saw only his own message on the interface.

After a moment, he couldn't help but feel a little confused.

No one online?

What are you doing when you are not checking the forum late at night? Are you sleeping?
After thinking about it, I decided to just chat with them privately one by one.

As a result, they responded quickly.

"Brother Xu, it's good to be alive, alas~" - I did it again tonight, a first-level corpse driver.

“Alas, Brother Xu is also selfless, but things have come to this point and cannot be undone. Let’s all keep this matter a secret and pretend it never happened. Alas~” - Chen Nian, a first-rank female crown.

"Ah~~~" - Hong Yan, a first-level gangster.

well? ?

Xu Shu was stunned.

"Why are you all sighing and grumbling? Could it be that Lan Xin didn't save Rudius in the end? Or did she fail to save him?" - Gu Pan.

"...Well, he was rescued. We sent Lan Xin to the Starry Church. They will give a reasonable explanation." - Chen Nian.

"So what do we do next? Do you have any ideas to team up and explore the new land together?" - Gu Pan.

Xu Shu’s idea was simple. It would be troublesome for him to cross the wasteland back alone.

In addition, the goal of this land reclamation has not yet been completed, and the contribution points have not yet accumulated to 20 points to purchase the Mirror of Reality and Virtuality and open the trading area.

So, it would be better to call back these teammates.

After all, we have worked together once and there is a certain level of trust between each other.

In addition, the "Pledge of Allegiance" is still in effect, which can be considered as a certain deterrent.

Unless someone is like Lan Xin who has completely given up on being a human being before, most people will probably not betray him.

Therefore, Xu Shu thought that if he asked them to find a nanny and gather all the people together, they could open up new land and accumulate contributions again.

This idea must be shared by everyone...

next second.

"This is asking us to get out, tut tut tut." - Did it again tonight.

"Friend Xu, are you joking? Don't make such jokes next time, otherwise don't blame me for following the rules." - Chen Nian.

"Do you really not know or are you just pretending?" - Hong Yan.

What rules are being followed? What are you pretending to be ignorant of?
Xu Shu's brows suddenly frowned. He could feel that his teammates were extremely wary of him.

Without figuring out the specific reason, I typed and asked:
"Please explain yourself clearly. I feel like you are targeting me." - Gu Pan.

"Brother Xu, I respect you as a man. Since you insist on asking, I, Lao Yang, am outspoken and will tell you straight out!

"You said you were back, and everyone was very happy. We are friends for life, and seeing you alive is better than dead. But since you have become a slave of that alien earl, I guess he forced you to deceive us, right? Forget it, it's pitiful for you to be a slave out there alone, and no one will delete you as a friend." - Did it again tonight.

"Let's just forget each other from now on." - Chen Nian.

“Yes.”——Hong Yan.

Xu Shu:?
Yes to your mother!
"Who said I became a slave? Damn, I thought it was nothing. I came back safely, so please stop talking nonsense." - Gu Pan.

"Friend Xu, monks do not tell lies, but even if you are not a monk you cannot lie." - Chen Nian.

"Forget it, Brother Xu, I guess you have no choice. The Earl is watching you right now, right? It's okay, we brothers don't blame you. Say hello to the Earl for us, and ask him to come to the city to play when he is free, haha." - Did it again tonight.

"I'm really not a slave, brothers. Why don't you believe it?" - Gu Pan.

"Not a slave? If you're not a slave, why are you only replying now? We have been waiting for you at the border for two hours, and you didn't respond." - Chen Nian.

"Brother, I'm not saying anything bad about you, it's ok if you lie to us brothers, we can just laugh it off, but don't lie to yourself." - Did it again tonight.

“Yes.”——Hong Yan.

"I vomited, I'm really not a slave. The Earl is a bastard, a wild clock made by his mother and grandfather, do you believe it? If it was looking at me, would I dare to say this?" - Gu Pan.

"Looking at his attitude, he really doesn't seem like a slave? But how can I prove it?" - Did it again tonight.

"How do you prove that I am a slave?" Xu Shu was speechless.

These people are really good at imagining things.

After a while.

"How about this, Brother Xu? Take off your clothes and take a full-body photo without any obstruction to prove that you don't have the slave brand. Only then can we trust you." - Did it again tonight.

"Okay, this is a good idea. If Brother Xu wants to prove himself, just post photos to prove his innocence." - Chen Nian.

“? Yes, that makes sense! Let’s start with...Bi Chaoyang first, and then we’ll pass it around in turn to show fairness.” - Hong Yan.

Xu Shu rolled his eyes.

What the hell.

This is really a direct cut into the aorta.

"To be honest, I can't post photos. I haven't accumulated 20 contributions yet, so I can't open a trading area." - Gu Pan.

"...Brother, this is a bit outrageous. You are ranked 404th on the Qingyun List, and you said your contribution is less than 20. Do you think others will believe this if you say it out loud?" - Did it again tonight.

"Friend Xu, stop pretending. Look, you don't even dare to post the photos. I am very disappointed in you." - Chen Nian.

“It’s not that I don’t dare to send it, it’s that I really can’t send it.” - Gu Pan.

“If you don’t post photos, you’re a slave!” - Hong Yan.

"Forget it, I won't explain. You won't be able to come in in the future. So let it be, brother. I heard that some alien species are very perverted. You... take care of yourself." - Did it again tonight.

【Hint: "Chen Nian", "Hong Yan", and "Did it again tonight" have left the team. 】

【Your team has disbanded on its own. 】

"..."

"I really am not."

Seeing the team instantly change from 4 people to just himself, and then directly disbanded, Xu Shu really didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

But now that things have come to this, there is no point in explaining further.

When we return to the safe zone, all misunderstandings will naturally be resolved.

"However, these guys didn't report me. I don't know whether to say they are loyal or ignorant."

Xu Shu shook his head.

Then, he returned to the main interface and paid attention to today's news.

"Hmm? There's a new ruin near the Misty Sea, but it's full of marine life? It probably has nothing to do with me."

"A canyon was blasted out of the Dark Ruins, and an ancient temple emerged. Inside, there are 4th-level demigod monsters. Undead? It's a bit like that, but the date is half a month ago, so it's obviously not done by me."

"The ruins of the former Kingdom of Elden collapsed, revealing a group of undead creatures called the Great Tomb of Narnia. They are extremely numerous and are very close to the border of Area X5B1.

"At present, the Holy Inquisition under the local Astronomical Society is heading there to clear the area and is actively recruiting Taoist priests, monks, shepherds and other professional extraordinary people. This will surely be a rare war... The undead creatures are a bit like ghosts, but the style is obviously different..."

"There are also those who are going to defeat the newly appeared Minotaur Demon Alien Cave... Hey, is it this poor little widow again? Does she have a grudge against the Minotaur?
"Well, none of them look like the ruins that appeared after I created [Night Boiling in the Capital]. It seems that not long has passed and they have not been discovered yet." "Or maybe they can't be found. There are so many ruins in the world. It's normal that mine is not among them."

"And these..."

Xu Shu flipped through it for a long time.

I haven't seen any relics that I created yet, so the idea of ​​getting a signpost can only be put on hold for the time being.

However, he was not in a hurry.

There is a saying that goes, "If you are destined to meet, you will meet each other naturally, so there is no need to rush."

The main reason is that there are too few legends.

"If I open three legendaries a day, and each time consumes one, then in a decade or eight years, won't the world be filled with my signposts?"

Of course, Xu Shu would not do this. If so, regardless of whether he would cause any turmoil to the world, just living in a legend every day without a normal life would be unacceptable. You should also play games in moderation and not get addicted to them.

After brushing for a while, Xu Shu prepared to go to bed.

As a result, he discovered that there was something wrong with the floor beneath him.

In the room downstairs, there was someone making noises of "hmm" and "ah" non-stop.

This is a common situation in the wasteland, after all, Seven Star Entertainment.

But the question is, is the sound insulation of this building a little too poor?
Xu Shu turned over and observed that something was wrong.

There was an area on the floor where the tiles were raised, not quite level, and loose.

In fact, it is normal for floor tiles to be loose.

But the abnormal thing is that the sound coming from here is particularly loud.

He reached out his hand suspiciously and peeled off the tile.

As a result, I found that there was a small hole in the ceiling below!
"Ah this..."

Xu Shu was shocked. No wonder the sound insulation was so poor. After all this time, he found out there was a peeping hole here.

He lay on top of it and looked down, and saw three men and one woman playing Landlord downstairs.

The situation is roughly as follows.

From =orz-7
No wonder you're sighing.

Judging from their clothes, they should be refugees from the nearby wasteland who came here to trade supplies.

I guess everyone doesn't earn much money and can't stand the loneliness, so they team up to share the order.

"Damn, the world is really going downhill, people's hearts are no longer the same as before!"

Xu Shu wiped his nose, found a piece of cardboard, crumpled it into a ball, and poured it into the gap to block out a lot of noise.

Then, he reluctantly fell asleep.

In the evening, it started to drizzle again.

The air has a faint fishy smell.

The path was even more muddy.

But this time, I slept quite soundly.

The next morning, when the first ray of rising light in the east broke through the last darkness before dawn, the remaining rain clouds quickly dissipated.

Xu Shu opened his eyes and woke up from his deep sleep. He heard the noisy sounds of people moving around and hawking goods downstairs.

From time to time, you can hear the warm voice of "Sir, open the door and bring breakfast and water", which makes this hotel seem particularly peaceful and friendly.

In my mind is the information conveyed by [Taichu Volume]:
[The sun rises, all things revive, welcome back to Taichu Scroll, great master]

[Number of times remaining to open today: 3/3]

"very good."

Seeing the full number of Taichu volumes, Xu Shu felt much more confident.

But today he was not in a hurry to start his journey.

After simply rinsing his mouth and eating some canned food left over from last night, Xu Shu took off his clothes, lay on the ground, picked up the erosion crystal, and stuffed it into his crotch.

After a night's rest, the cooldown of [Sit-ups (taboo)] has ended.

"After I finish eating these, I will be close to level 16!"

As the curse seal in the body devoured the crystals, the degree of erosion of the cursed power increased, and blood slowly overflowed from the pores on the body's surface again.

He began to do sit-ups with a little anticipation in his heart, using his endless life recovery ability to fight against the not-so-great erosion.

again and again……

About two hours later.

One blue, one green, and four white, a total of six erosion crystals, which were all swallowed up.

Xu Shu stood up in the blood-stained ground, clenched his fists, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

The result was not beyond his expectations.

I didn’t make it to level 16, but I’m not far away.

Next, of course, it’s time to wash.

The rooms here do not have private bathrooms, there is a shared bathroom on each floor.

Just as Xu Shu was about to walk out, his ears suddenly moved.

From another room not far from the door, there were a few "click" sounds of prying open the door, followed by a brief scream, and then the door was quickly closed.

"Well, is there something going on?"

Xu Shu frowned and stopped immediately.

If it were an ordinary person, of course he would have no choice but to take the risk and open the door to see the situation.

But he didn't need to take any risks.

Without thinking, Xu Shu poured his thoughts into the Taichu Scroll in front of him.

"Journey mode, start!"

The familiar mist and revolving lanterns instantly surrounded him, and the light and shadows changed:

[Detecting current status...]

[Testing completed. 】

[You are in a bad situation now. This is the supply point hotel on the eastern border of D8B3 (19.3). You spent 80 yuan to stay in one of the worst rooms on the 12th floor of this hotel. You heard noises coming from next door. You thought it was a burglary, but in fact, it was not.]

[They were a group of believers. They wore the clothes of the Dawn Church and believed in the sun. They had blocked the 10th, 11th, and 12th floors of the hotel early in the morning and wanted to sacrifice all the people there.]

[You live in room 1205. They are arresting someone in room 1204. Soon they tie him up and take him away. They walk towards you. A woman knocks on the door and says, "Sir, I'm bringing you breakfast and water. Please open the door." What is your choice? ]

A group of people appeared on the screen. They were wearing priest robes of the Dawn Church, but they were wearing black tights inside, with a headband and a strange cross embroidered on it. There was a conspicuous letter tattooed on the left chest of the clothes, a big "Z".

Among them, especially the five people at the back, each of them gives people a weird and powerful feeling, and they are definitely not ordinary people.

"?"

When Xu Shu saw this outfit, he was stunned.

The Salvation Army!
At the beginning, Baidizi was S.

As for this Z, he had some impression of him as he had seen someone mention him on the forum.

Son of the Black Emperor?
