The rising sun shatters the darkness!

Chapter 157: The Light of Doomsday (asking for monthly tickets)

"The Star Tower seems to be the same as before, and there is no problem."

"In other words, the problem does lie with Majtel, the Chosen One of Tzeentch."

"Strange, the last time the Demon Chosen in the safe zone killed four people, it only took a short while for the Star Tower to react."

"How come the Star Tower still can't find it even though the Tzeentch's Chosen are almost breaking through this inn?"

"The second-level 'Three Weird Families' are extraordinary. Logically, the higher their strength, the more likely they are to attract the attention of the Star Tower. How come it's the other way around?"

"It's really confusing~ Oh wow~ Shush~~~"

On the 14th floor of the hotel, Xu Shu was sitting with his legs apart, facing the corner, looking contented.

The dust on the ground had accumulated for a long time and was very thick, with many ○ or 口 marks on it. Under the flushing of the crystal urine, it gathered into a small mudslide, carrying a few used plastic covers that someone had thrown here, and flowed slowly.

Xu Shu already knew that the traces of urine smell he left behind could at most trick Maggietel into going to the 14th floor, where he would realize something was wrong.

But to be on the safe side, he continued to urinate on several higher floors, all the way to the 18th floor.

In this way, we can ensure that the "future" seen in the last round will appear without any surprises - as the saying goes, every failure makes you wiser, and I suffered this loss at the hands of the little nun Lan Xin last time.

Who knew that I would suffer because I didn't violate her?
As the saying goes, "The past is a fixed number, but the future is not." When Xu Shu is not sure about the situation, he will not change the "dependent variable" without authorization.

Unless you are absolutely sure, you will not attack in advance according to your own judgment.

But at this moment, it is of course better to play it safe.

"However, the time when Archbishop Yu Mingluan arrives will not be changed by any operation on my part. He will definitely arrive in one hour and thirty-six minutes and kill Magitel instantly!

"Speaking of which, the weapon he used, the hand cannon, should it also be a cursed tool? Firearms-type cursed tools can inflict terrible damage."

Thinking of this, Xu Shu couldn't help but take out the narrow-sleeved Guanyin.

After the fusion, one of her eyes is dark and charming (the Yin God Heishan), and the other eye is scarlet and hidden (the Yang God Shigou). Combined with her own solemn and precious appearance, she looks very strange and beautiful, with a sense of blasphemy.

"After I messed with her twice and completely contaminated her, her floating cannon disappeared. That thing is also very powerful. Wouldn't it be great if it could fall into my hands?"

"What a pity, such a thick cannon, who knows where it went..."

Xu Shu pondered for a while but couldn't figure it out, so he put the record away.

Then he waited on the roof for nearly an hour and a half, listening to the noises downstairs from time to time.

"It's almost time. Archbishop Yu Mingluan will be here soon."

At this time, Xu Shu no longer waited, but stood up directly.

He would definitely not wait any longer, but take the initiative to attack and fight with that chosen one of Tzeentch again!
He wanted to take advantage of the moment when the archbishop came to take revenge, and at the same time, establish a good image for himself under the eyes of these important figures in the Astronomical Society.

After a while, Xu Shu returned to the fourteenth floor according to his memory.

As soon as he came in, he saw Magitel, the chosen one of Tzeentch, who was less than 1.2 meters tall, had the appearance of a child, but had a bloody smell that was so strong that it was disgusting.

At this moment, the latter was squatting on the ground, staring at the condom that was washed clean by urine, with a look of surprise on his face.

After hearing the noise behind him and the smell he was looking for, Tzeentch's Chosen laughed grimly and said, "I never thought, I never thought, human, that you would dare to come back?"

He stretched out his slender tongue and licked the corner of his mouth towards Xu Shu who was standing at the door. His expression was extremely ferocious and terrifying. It was obvious that the "child" was just his shell, not his real age.

Xu Shu said loudly: "Magitel, you have killed countless people and committed heinous crimes. Today is the day you, the devil, will die."

"?"

The expression on Maggietel's young face froze, as if her brain had short-circuited.

His pupils shrank slightly as he asked, "You, know me?"

"Haha, more than just knowing you, from tonight onwards, all the demons on this earth will take you as an example..."

Xu Shu stretched out his arm and directly dismantled the anti-theft iron door to use as his weapon. He continued with a wild laugh: "Like you, I will pin you to the ground and kill you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the door panel flew out and hit Magitel on the head.

He dodged it easily, but then he saw the human in front of him standing on a two-meter-high block of earth that appeared out of nowhere, rushing towards him with an unstoppable attitude, and then he received a fierce uppercut that sent his entire body flying several meters.

"Ok?"

Magitel, who was knocked away by the blow, had a trace of confusion in her eyes.

Xu Shu once again seized the initiative and pinned this chosen one of Jianqi to the ground and beat him!

This was a fight with blood spurting from every punch, no cover at all, and flesh entangled in close combat.

During this period, Xu Shu even broke the body of the Demon Chosen One several times in a row, although the latter would recover at an extremely fast speed each time.

"Strange... There's some inexplicable aura about you."

"Interesting. But don't you know the gap between us?"

"Human, you will soon learn what cruelty is."

Magitel, whose flesh was beaten to pieces, taunted from time to time.

However, the only response he got was Xu Shu's attack, which was like a violent storm hitting a banana leaf.

The sound of punches and the sarcastic laughter of Tzeentch's Chosen echoed repeatedly in this abandoned hotel room.

Xu Shu relied on his explosive power to "suppress" this demon chosen by God.

However, it didn't take long before Magitel, a second-level being, gradually broke down Xu Shu's offensive.

"Human, I'm very satisfied with your body. I'll accept it with pleasure. Tsk tsk~" He was lying on the ground and was chopped into two pieces, but he didn't show any expression of pain. Instead, he was grinning.

Xu Shu grabbed his neck and yelled, "Come on! Shoot me to death if you dare! You filthy bug!"

At this moment, he was ready to die, just like a hero bathing in the sun.

"Hmph, you're really brave. I hope you can still be like this even when you're about to die!" Magitel was stunned by the roar and finally turned the situation around. This time he rode on Xu Shu and chopped his body with a sharp hand knife.

With two powerful blows, the pale gold-covered "Jingwei" shield was shattered cleanly and neatly, causing blood to burst out all over Xu Shu's body.

Then he stuck out his tongue, leaned over, and licked Xu Shu's torn chest back and forth like a kitten.

The tip of his tongue kept breaking and splitting, turning into clusters of twisting tentacle strains that looked like stick insects. They were dark and dark, and attached to Xu Shu's chest and were piercing inside.

Xu Shu's eyes fixed.

coming!

This was the trick that the demon chosen one used to kill him.

Nerve control, cell invasion! These neuron-like tentacles can cut off his life force, but his body remains extremely intact.

If he allowed the other party to invade, he would die from "cell invasion" in a short while.

This is the future that has been foreseen.

Of course, this time the support time will definitely be longer than the journey, he now has an additional attribute skill "cell resistance". But in fact, even if there is no cell resistance, it doesn't matter.

Because Xu Shu had left plenty of time, at this moment a person in a dazzling red robe had appeared in front of the window.

Archbishop Yu Mingluan arrived as promised!

He looked at Xu Shu, who was being pressed to the ground by the Devil's Chosen One and about to be ravaged, and a trace of pity flashed across his eyes. He immediately reached out and opened a black book with a sun emblem printed on the cover. He read in a deep and powerful voice: "I came, I saw, I redeemed!"

boom!
The pure white sunlight instantly enveloped the rampaging Magitel, the Chosen One of Tzeentch.

This made his body completely out of control, and he was pinned to the ground, unable to move.

This light also enveloped Xu Shu, but it did not cause any harm to him. It was like normal sunlight, and even made people feel a little warm.

When he saw the archbishop winking at him, he immediately understood and rolled very quickly to the side, to the door farthest away from here.

Then a loud bell rang.

Yu Mingluan still used that strange hand cannon to end Magitel's life.

His body had been broken by Xu Shu several times, but he was able to recover quickly. But this time, for some reason, he died instantly, leaving only two purple curse crystals on the ground.

"..."

After doing all this, Xu Shu watched the archbishop leisurely collect the two curse crystals and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Two pieces of curse crystals of level one and level two, plus the "bounty" for the head of the chosen one by God, are worth a lot of money.

What a pity, if the Star Tower didn’t take any action this time, this would have been his income.

At this time, Yu Mingluan collected the Dawn Church Bible and the cursed hand cannon together, and no one knew where they were hidden.

Immediately, he walked towards Xu Shu.

This is a middle-aged man with a height of nearly two meters and a beard. He may be mixed-race, with characteristics of both Oriental and Western races.

When Xu Shu saw him for the first time, he always felt that a sharp blade would extend from his finger joints in the next second.

At this time, the archbishop, whose face was rough but whose eyes were gentle, helped Xu Shu up from the ground, patted him on the shoulder, and said in a mellow and solemn voice: "Kid, you have done very well. Remember, when fighting these demons, the results are not important. Even if you sacrifice a lot, it is not your sin. The most important thing is faith."

"Hmm..." Xu Shu nodded. On the one hand, he felt that he had done a good job, but on the other hand, he was a little puzzled.

cry?
How could I be crying?
Although he wanted to establish a good image in front of the officials and gain some favor.

But "shedding tears" is too much. Too much is as bad as too little. Xu Shu didn't think so at all.

He never thought that when Yu Mingluan came, he had already seen the tragic scene of death and injury everywhere in the hotel, and heard Xu Shu's roar of fearlessness of death. In his heart, his evaluation of him was no longer limited to "an extraordinary person who dared to fight for humanity", but also rose to "a simple young man who felt guilty for not saving civilians."

But this is not what Xu Shu knew.

He only knew that he had performed well this time, and in the eyes of the Astronomical Society, he should be an outstanding young man who was hardworking and motivated.

I don't know if there are any contribution points for being an outstanding youth? I guess not?

Looking at Yu Mingluan's red robe, Xu Shu felt a little sour.

The Archbishop is powerful, but why is he so stingy? Can't he leave that first-level curse crystal to me...

The next thing is the aftermath work. A group of members from the Dawn Church have arrived. They are here to clean up the aftermath, and the news of this incident must be blocked.

However, after learning about the situation, the archbishop was surprised to find that Xu Shu might be the only one who knew that "the second-level demon chosen by God descended into the wasteland but was not killed by the Star Tower."

In other words, the members of the Dawn Church came in vain.

Since they were already here, they went downstairs to lead the prayers and pray for the souls of the dead. This also helped to gain some favor from the refugees towards the Church of Dawn.

So, after a few hours, only the Archbishop and Xu Shu were left in the council room, staring at each other.

The former looked at the "sunny, cheerful and simple big boy" in front of him with a frown, and was considering how to talk to him so as not to hurt his "young heart".

Xu Shu was extremely slick. He saw through his hesitation and took the initiative to break the silence: "Archbishop Yu Mingluan, President Melanie has already told me the importance of this matter. Don't worry, I will definitely not spread it."

"Do you recognize me?" Yu Mingluan was stunned for a moment.

"Of course, I have loved watching you preach since I was a child, and I think you are very good at it." Xu Shu secretly tried to get close to him.

This is half true and half false.

It is true that in his early years, before he became the archbishop, Yu Mingluan often went to schools to promote the teachings of the Dawn Church.

What’s not true is that everyone thought that his speeches were terrible at the time, and he kept repeating the same old stuff: “I’m here to testify that the Lord really saved me,” “Do you know that all the scientists in the world have believed in our church?” etc. He focused on exaggeration and fabrication.

For young people like Xu Shu, believing in the Sun is fine, but joining the church formally is not very attractive.

After all, they don't issue upgrade drivers, and once ordinary people officially join the church, they not only have to do volunteer work, but also have to donate money regularly.

In fact, the Dawn Church is the Orthodox Church that Astronomy currently supports the most. After all, these are the end of the world, and everyone will have some faith in it, so there is no need to go out of their way to preach or anything.

The problem is that there is actually a small faction within the Dawn Church, which belongs to the original fallen temple faction. Their doctrine requires believers to contribute a "tithe" (Note 1)

Therefore, Xu Shu of course just listened to it and let it go. He brought it up at this moment just to get closer to him and shorten the distance between them so that it would be convenient to ask for some information next time.

Unexpectedly, Yu Mingluan became completely excited when he heard it.

He immediately felt that Xu Shu was much more pleasing to his eyes, so he pulled him aside and started talking to him.

Sometimes it was "I was on the edge of the abyss, but it was the sun and the Lord who saved me." Sometimes it was "You really need to be reverent, especially young people like you, especially in this era, when there are so many evil demons around. Only by believing in the sun can you be saved. And the Lord."

And so on.

Xu Shu had caused this himself, so he could only nod and say yes.

His slightly perfunctory attitude could not dampen the archbishop's enthusiasm at all. Once faith was mentioned, his original demeanor of a strong man disappeared completely, and he was simply a complete fanatical believer.

In this regard, Xu Shu couldn't help but think of his former teammate Rudius, who seemed to be a member of the "Temple Sect" in the Dawn Church. Fortunately, he was not preaching to everyone in the team at that time, otherwise he would have died in the wilderness.

After being tortured for a while, Xu Shu finally found an opportunity to change the subject:
"Archbishop, I'm actually very curious, why didn't the Star Tower attack the second-level demon chosen ones after they appeared in the wasteland?"

“Ah, this…” Yu Mingluan, who was speaking at length, froze in his expression. He hesitated for a moment before saying, “I’m not lying to you. In fact, what I encountered today was also the first time for me.”

"Is this the first time? Hasn't this happened before?" Xu Shu's expression froze.

If this is the case, it would be bad. "Change" means good things in peacetime, but when it happens in these doomsday years when evil is everywhere, it often represents "bad things."

Yu Mingluan nodded and said, "Well, these are actually confidential. With your level, you are far from qualified to know. Haha, but you have been in contact with them twice, and you are also a friend of President Melanie, so it’s okay for me to tell you something."

"Yeah." Xu Shu nodded shamelessly, not telling him that his friendship with Melanie ended because she owed him more than a hundred contribution points and could not pay them.

Yu Mingluan considered his words and said, "The Chosen Ones of the Devil are actually a special breed among the extraordinary beings of the Abyss Path. Unlike the impure beings that generally ascend through pollution, the Chosen Ones of the Devil can only descend to the human world through sacrifice. Although they are extraordinary beings, I think it is more appropriate to say that they are the embodiment of the will of the original demon ancestor.

"There has always been a secret that the Demon Chosen can effectively avoid the monitoring of the array and enter the safe zone. This matter was originally kept absolutely confidential, but you have encountered it, so there is no point in hiding it from you."

Xu Shu immediately asked: "How did they enter the safe zone?"

Yu Mingluan said: "They can escape. You know the rule, right?"
