Chapter 144: Cut the grass and root it out, eliminate the troubles (first update to ask for monthly tickets)

After giving a false name, Xu Shu left the place without any expression and directed the rescued sacrifices to clean up the place.

Before leaving, he looked at the altar layout with some regret, and muttered to himself thoughtfully:
"What a pity. Not even a single upgrade driver was dropped. This is not normal. It is very likely that it was swallowed up during the sacrifice."

"Lie Zhenzi's method of sacrifice is very overbearing. As long as it's a human, no matter what it is, he will eat it all, hehe."

Xu Shu shook his head.

After what happened to Yang Manman, he was still hesitant, wondering whether He would stop devouring as long as he became a transcendent.

Now it seems that this is not the case, He just doesn't eat "non-human creatures".

"Speaking of which, the people of the White Emperor taught others to believe in the secret religion and sacrifice to the evil gods; while the people of the Black Emperor gathered some people from the orthodox sects and sacrificed to the Array. I wonder if there is any connection between the two? After all, they all belong to the Salvation Army, and it seems that the water is very deep."

"If it weren't for the magical effect of my Mark Altar, I would have had no choice but to flee today. Fortunately, I was more skilled than the others and got this advantage for free."

Xu Shu walked down the stairs and took out the Yang Shen Seal in the dusty corridor.

Facing the light shining through the gap, golden spots suddenly danced up and down around the small sphere - actually they were just dust, but they made the mark of the [Yang God] look even more mysterious.

Xu Shu's face was full of energy:

"Well, my Mark Altar has one more advantage than theirs. As long as someone has arranged the magic array and blood food for the sacrificial ceremony, whether it is a sacrifice to the evil god or a sacrifice to the array, I can use the altar instead, saving me the time of arranging the array myself.

"I wonder if there will be any restrictions, such as requiring my altar to be higher level than the other party's?"

"That's very possible..."

“Heh, he is known as the greatest patron saint of mankind, but secretly, he needs to sacrifice humans to him in order to obtain the [Mark], one of the necessary items to become a transcendent. I feel like his formation has some dark attributes.”

Uh, dark attribute...

Ok?
and many more……

Thinking of this, Xu Shu paused, and a bold idea popped up in his mind involuntarily.

Once the sacrifice to the array is started, it cannot be stopped. Moreover, there is no concept of "friend or foe". As long as you are within the range of the altar, you will be sacrificed.

Doesn't that mean that the altar can be used as a trap-like attack method? !

"Hiss! It seems like it's totally possible!"

Xu Shu rubbed the Yang Shen mark with his two fingers, and his eyes were brighter than it.

To be honest, today, with the help of what I saw in the future, I took the opportunity to kill a gang of evil forces that I could not have taken down by myself. It was just a sudden idea and I didn't think too much about it.

I can only say that it was just an attempt.

But now, after trying it, Xu Shu changed his mind and realized that there was a chance to replicate this record.

I have only been in contact with the extraordinary world for less than half a month, and I don't even need to look for it deliberately. I have already encountered three "sacrifice" incidents by chance, whether it was by the evil god or by the array.

This shows that in this world, under the undercurrent that mortals cannot see, "sacrifice incidents" are a relatively frequent and often occurring event!

In this case, Xu Shu felt that he had great potential.

You can always carry some mark altars with you. This can almost be regarded as a treasure against people. As long as it is used well, you can completely destroy enemies that you cannot defeat under normal circumstances!

Of course, this naturally has some limitations.

The first and most important thing is that someone has to set up the magic circle in advance. Someone has to prepare the corresponding blood food, consumables (erosion crystals), sacrificial magic circle, etc.

Another thing is that someone has to start the prayer, which is also very important. Otherwise, he still has to pray from the beginning.

But overall, there are always opportunities.

"But, speaking of which, Lie Zhenzi actually took advantage of me, who is ranked 404th on the Rising Stars List and the hope for the future of mankind? How abominable! He was praising me just a few days ago.

"It seems that my guess is correct. The Array should not have independent thinking. It is indeed worthy of being called the Array that treats all things as straw dogs..."

"I always feel that he is essentially not much different from the evil god, or in other words, he is the evil god who basically stands on the side of humans?"

"If that's the case, then if I offer a sacrifice to the evil god, can I use a monster as a sacrifice?"

"Hiss, but it seems that the people who sacrificed to the evil god by the Slaanesh Cult were also humans... Besides, I don't know the sacrificial array pattern facing the evil god..."

"Sad, it turns out that all great beings love to eat humans, right? Humans are so miserable~"

"Is this the truth of this world?"

Xu Shu walked downstairs feeling a little creepy.

The truth of this world is too dark, too cruel, and too cold.

In this age where we are at the mercy of others, only the round and soft mark of [Yang Shen] in my hand can bring a touch of warmth.

He stuffed the mark into the Taichu Scroll's item column, preparing to collect some mark altars next.

There just happen to be two more times today.

But before that, he had to make sure that there were no enemies here at all.

Walking down, the staircase leading to the ninth floor on the tenth floor was blocked with iron bars and stuffed with thin cardboard for sound insulation.

Xu Shu couldn't help but sneer. These people from the Black Emperor were indeed well prepared.

He could also guess from some of the other party's words that the reason why these members of the Black Emperor's Subordinates have not yet been wanted by the Astronomical Society is, to put it bluntly, they are "playing the edge ball".

The rooms on floors 10 to 12 are not fully occupied, and because they are cheap, the people who stay there are the poorest scavengers.

They specifically picked on people like this. These victims were all poor people who were already living in danger in the wasteland. Even if they died, it was uncertain whether they had any family members. Even if they called the police, the patrol would most likely just give a perfunctory response.

The wasteland is dangerous in itself, and the patrolmen themselves work with their heads on the line. It's normal to see a few scavengers die. Who knows if you might have been bitten to death by a monster lying somewhere.

This huge wasteland is basically a lawless place, a gray area!

Therefore, if they were a little more careful, no one would know about it.

The White Emperor's son set up a trap to trick people into believing in the secret religion, while the Black Emperor's son secretly offered sacrifices and made marks.

Even so, the Savior Army has gained a very good reputation in the wastelands of other regions. Who wouldn't praise them as "the light in the wasteland"?
"You are such a 'Saviour' army! Sooner or later, we will peel off the human skin you are wearing!"

After being ambushed by the Salvation Army twice, Xu Shu secretly wrote down this revenge in a small notebook.

A gentleman's revenge is never too late.

Boom~ He kicked the obstacles away, walked down the stairs, and came to the first floor lobby of the supply point building.

It's not even ten o'clock now, but today is not as lively as yesterday. There are very few people and it's quite deserted.

People in the wasteland are very busy. Of course, they have to search various ruins during the day, mainly to search for "gold grains" that grow in the ruins and some relics of previous civilizations.

Occasionally, you can also "pick up corpses". If you can come across some supplies left behind by patrols defeated by wasteland monsters, you can make a lot of money.

Therefore, the front desk was very empty today, with only a few male and female hotel staff sitting there to rest; and some were packing their luggage to leave - people staying in the wasteland did not need to use their real names, they could just pay and stay.

The strange thing is that there were certainly fewer people in the casino next door than yesterday, but there were still some people playing, about ten or so, looking like they were just lounging around.

Xu Shu glanced at the group of people playing billiards, then looked at the hotel owner, rolled his eyes, and suddenly panicked, he said to the short, fat and sturdy man: "Brooke, something big has happened! Upstairs, someone has been killed upstairs!"

"Ah?" Brooke's face changed and he asked hurriedly, "What did you see?"

"I didn't see much. I got up last night and went downstairs early, and I saw someone blocked the stairs on the 10th floor and started arresting people! We have to tell the next batch of patrol soldiers who are coming! A murder happened upstairs, on the 10th floor. I saw it with my own eyes. There was so much blood!" Xu Shu looked panicked.

When Brooke heard about this, he immediately panicked: "But the last patrol team that delivered supplies just came. It will take at least a month for them to come again." This sudden statement, of course, attracted everyone's attention.

Everyone gathered around and asked curiously what happened.

But Xu Shu looked anxious: "There's no time to talk. I'm going to find the nearby patrolmen to report the incident. You guys protect the scene. This is terrible, terrible."

He muttered to himself as he trotted toward the door and the parking lot outside—no one knew he had arrived on foot.

But at this moment, Xu Shu's back was completely left to everyone in the hall.

The next second, several gunshots rang out.

Xu Shu suddenly whooshed out like a kite with a broken string, and fell face down on the ground, motionless.

"what!"

The sudden shooting caused screams in the hall and people all hid at tables.

There were eight people who fired the shots. They were the group that was playing billiard. Several other people who were playing with them were shot dead on the spot.

They fired several shots into the air, sent people to check on Xu Shu's body, and threatened the people hiding under the table. The leader shouted, "We have a grudge. This is a personal grudge. No one should show up!"

A brother stood next to Xu Shu, poking his body with a gun, and asked in confusion: "Boss, this guy seems to be wearing a bulletproof vest, why is he not bleeding?"

As he spoke, he fired a few more shots at Xu Shu.

Ding ding ding~ The bullets flew out, and his expression suddenly froze. His whole face was confused at first, and then gradually turned into fear.

"What doesn't bleed?"

The leader walked outside.

At this moment, the "dead man" Xu Shu, who was lying on the ground, spoke up: "It looks like there are only a few of you left."

As soon as he finished speaking, he got up, stretched out a hand, and pressed down the skull of the man next to him with incredible speed.

The latter understood something at once. After a slight hesitation, he suddenly dropped his gun, raised his hands in surrender, and said tremblingly, "Sir, give me a chance..."

With a snap.

Xu Shu gently pinched his brain, causing it to burst, and said with a grin, "You wish."

As he finished speaking, several accomplices of the Salvation Army at the door fired volleys of bullets at him.

Xu Shu's feet were rooted to the ground, not moving at all. He drove the Jingwei and used it as a target for them. Sparks flew all over his body. At the same time, he picked up a few stones on the ground and threw them out.

boom! boom! boom!
As the saying goes, the essence of fighting between people is to throw stones at each other.

I don’t know if this sentence is correct.

But Xu Shu really took this principle to the extreme.

Seven or eight stones were thrown out, followed by heavy artillery fire. The door was already littered with corpses with smashed heads, dead as hell.

The last bronze-skinned man had just finished firing a magazine and was changing the magazine when Xu Shu had already rushed over in his car, breaking into the door like a tiger descending from a mountain. He pinned the man to the ground and laughed wildly, "Do you have any accomplices? Tell me who they are and I'll spare your life!"

The bronze man felt like his neck was going to break after being strangled. In great fear, he took a casual look and pointed under an occupied table and shouted, "He, he is..."

Xu Shu took a look and saw a woman holding a child, so he asked, "What's her name?"

"Huh?" The bronze man was stunned.

"You're still trying to be a robber?"

Click.

Xu Shu broke his neck, twisted off his head and placed it on the front desk of the hotel.

Brooke hid on the ground with difficulty, his fat body, his face turned green with fear. He swallowed and looked at him and said, "Sir, this..."

He suddenly didn't know how to face this young extraordinary person.

Xu Shu asked, "You just said that the next patrol team will arrive in a month, right?"

"Yes, that's right! If you want to report a case, you can go to the city..." Brooke nodded quickly, thinking that this young extraordinary man was really kind-hearted, and he really wanted to report a case.

But Xu Shu clapped his hands.

"Then there's no need to report it."

After he finished speaking, he looked around the hall. There were less than twenty people left, hiding behind various tables and cabinets. He then shouted, "Everyone, come out. I have something to announce."

No one dared to disobey. They crawled out from under the table in fear and looked at him in terror.

Xu Shu cleared his throat, and suddenly flashed a small badge, then said, "I'm a bounty hunter from the Astronomy Society, specializing in hunting down wanted criminals. These people are hateful secret cultists. If anyone asks about it in the future, just say that it was handled by me, Li Toyota. Do you understand?"

Except for the name, almost nothing he said was false and it can withstand subsequent investigation. And because he was afraid that everyone didn't understand what a "ghostwriter" was, he made it simple.

Of course, there will most likely be no investigation, as few people are idle enough to care about the lives of these wasteland refugees.

Xu Shu was just being cautious out of habit. This way, even if someone really investigated, it wouldn't be him.

Everyone looked at each other and quickly agreed.

"I understand, sir!"

"Thank you, sir, for ridding the people of this evil!"

In fact, no one knows what exactly happened, nor does anyone know whether this "Astronomy Society Bounty Hunter" is real or not, and whether what he said is true.

who cares?
We have all been struggling in the wasteland, and there is a truth that everyone understands.

In this world, whoever has the bigger fist rules the rules.

Eight bandits armed with guns were killed just like crushing ants.

Who dares to ask this in detail?

"You..." Xu Shu looked at Brooke, who had some connection with this place and the patrol team.

Brooke said quickly, "Thanks to you, sir, for bringing the criminal to justice! From now on, this lighthouse will be called Li Toyota Lighthouse! Let us spread your name!"

"Pfft~ That's not necessary."

Xu Shu almost laughed out loud.

Next, he threw the eight bodies at the scene outside together.

Because of the previous experience of 'Ao Yaolin', and the conditions this time, Xu Shu lit a fire and burned them all to ashes.

Then, he did not leave, but returned to the brigade officer and asked Brooke to open another room for him.

This time Brooke was gracious and provided the best room on the third floor.

After telling them not to disturb him, Xu Shu first entered his room.

After locking the door, he secretly climbed out of the window, climbed all the way up, and returned to his original room on the 12th floor.

After locking the door again, Xu Shu opened the Taichu Volume.

Now that the hidden dangers have been eliminated, the previous ideas and plans can be officially implemented.

He wants to build a few more mark altars here to protect himself!
