The rising sun shatters the darkness!

Chapter 286 This place is turbid, people are tigers (asking for monthly tickets)
Facts have proved that Xu Shu is indeed a trustworthy person.

They were told to send them away, so they were sent away. They were given a wide way out and went directly to see Liezhenzi.

The light of the array was as still as a mountain and ignored Xu Shu. They mechanically devoured all the people in the array, leaving no trace.

After a while, the sacrifice was over and the scene became solemn.

Xu Shu took a look and saw that there was nothing left on the spot except a small golden ball (martial artist) that was spinning purely out of "lines". He couldn't help but sigh.

It can be said that the Liezhenzi were very professional when it came to cleaning up the battlefield. After a series of sacrifices, they completely wiped out all traces of these people's existence.

No matter whether it was clothing, bloodstains, or the beads and nail-shaped upgrade drivers they had inserted, they accepted everything, regardless of whether it was meat or vegetables.

The ground was clean and there was no sign that a big battle had just taken place here.

Unlike a certain little Yang God, Chuqiu, who is picky and doesn’t eat metal, let alone upgraded drives.

Xu Shu walked around here twice to make sure that no traces were left. He quickly cleaned up the surroundings, left a few spider web "entanglement" traps in place, and hid in a corner.

"I don't know if the hero they mentioned is still alive."

Xu Shu muttered to himself and decided to wait for an hour or so to see.

At the same time, he also turned on the upgrade driver, and after a little consideration, he began to type quickly:
"Bishop, by some strange coincidence, I have managed to get a hold of a group of peripheral members of the Heroes' Society. They are the Quincy of the Star Society and the Saviors. This information may be useful to you..."

Xu Shu read the information he had pried out from the Baidi Army today several times and sent it to Archbishop Yu Mingluan.

This matter is of utmost priority.

This group of hidden God's chosen ones will implement their plan the day after tomorrow. I don't know if the archbishop will be able to deal with them in time.

At this point, it is actually quite late for humans to realize the situation and they will inevitably suffer considerable losses.

With so many strange creatures sneaking into the safe zone, I don’t know how many people will die before they can be completely eradicated.

"The plan was implemented two months ago. So, the chosen one I met in the Xinyang Apartment Slums is indeed part of this plan!"

"And the secret cults that we encounter from time to time in the wasteland are obviously related to this matter."

Xu Shu had seen the destructive power of those chosen by God. Although there were star towers to support the safe zone, it was likely that the chosen by God would not dare to act rashly and would be killed if they did.

On this point, "Fdivos", the first-level chosen god who was killed by the Star Tower after killing an entire patrol team, has a lot to say about it.

But Xu Shu is not optimistic about this.

Most of the time, he has great confidence in the Star Tower, but when it comes to matters involving "God's Choice", he becomes extremely distrustful of the Star Tower.

There was no way around it. Not only had the Star Tower been late before, it had even stood Xu Shu up.

It was the first time he met Archbishop Yu Mingluan. The second-level chosen one "Magitel" went crazy and killed people in the wasteland hotel, and no one cared.

Xu Shu now highly suspected that the so-called "acquired" plan of the God's Chosen Ones had a high probability of finding more loopholes that could evade the Star Tower's detection, allowing them to exert a certain strength in the safe zone and avoid being discovered and killed by the Star Tower.

This seems to be a fairly correct direction of thinking.

Otherwise, there is no way to explain why not all the chosen ones are like 'Fdivos', who started killing people as soon as they arrived.

It must be because he knows that if he takes action now, he will be chased by the Star Tower.

Just like the "Narrow-sleeved Guanyin", as long as she doesn't hurt anyone and keeps pretending to be dead, the Star Tower won't be able to find her. But as soon as she makes a move, she will be killed immediately.

And in this regard, it is obvious that God's Choice is better, at least God's Choice has a positive record to check.

As for the Narrow-sleeved Guanyin, Xu Shu has successfully achieved a good score of 0/8 in her many attempts in the safe zone so far.

Comparing the two, the winner is obvious!
Xu Shu was not a stingy person. He sent his guess, which was just a "guess" of course, to Yu Mingluan so that he could use it as a reference.

"The Human Supernatural Alliance's pinned post is right. Even the safe zone is not that safe. In addition to monsters, there are also traitors! If you want to protect yourself and your family, you still need to improve your strength!"

"I'm only at level 2, too weak! I thought things would change when I reached level 3, but the Archbishop, who was at the peak of level 3, also capsized in the gutter."

"It seems that I still have to ascend to the fourth level and become a demigod-level being before I am qualified to live a more stable life in this world!"

"Well, I still have some energy left today. I'll eat the remaining crystals when I get back, and I can level up another one or two levels."

After this battle, Xu Shu's eyes became bright and his determination to become stronger became firmer again.

He has been so determined several times.

After waiting here for half an hour, Ding Ding was slightly shocked.

Xu Shu was slightly surprised to find that it was Yu Mingluan who actually replied to the message.

It seems that the bishop did not go down to the ruins in person to participate in the encirclement and suppression?

This makes sense, as those chosen by the gods are not in the ruins, but hidden among the people.

Yu Mingluan's letter was quite simple: "Okay, I've read the news. It seems that their layout in the city is much deeper than I knew. In addition, Song Nanshou was also contaminated? Are you not injured?"

Pollution, should it refer to the Bishop's previous state of losing his mind?
"I'm fine. Song Laosan was not contaminated. They had a personal grudge. I saved Song Yuchun and Tang Ying, but the other team members unfortunately died." Xu Shu replied briefly.

“…You have the list of the ten group members, remember to submit your application for death benefits.

"As for the remnants of the Cao Gang, I will make sure that no remnants are left, so you can rest assured." - Yu Mingluan.

what?
Xu Shu was stunned. He didn't expect the archbishop to say this. It took him a while to react.

It seems that he actually remembered the random things I had said to the archbishop before.

Xu Shu couldn't help but feel touched, and quickly followed up with a sentence: "Thank you for your concern, Bishop! Is everything going well over there?"

"The chosen one from God is not that easy to deal with," said Yu Mingluan.

Obviously, it wasn't that smooth, but this was within Xu Shu's expectations.

Yu Mingluan added: "Your information is very useful. I didn't expect that they would take action the day after tomorrow. It seems that my time will be very tight tomorrow. You should be careful. May God bless you."

Why not put the formation in front this time? It seems that the bishop's mood has changed after the incident with the ruins...

Xu Shu also said: "May the Lord bless you!"

After finishing the conversation, Xu Shu waited there for an hour or so, and finally someone came.

A furtive young man dressed as a waiter pushed open the door and walked in.

He looked around as he walked.

Not seeing anyone in the house, the man seemed a little anxious and couldn't help humming a song under his breath: "The day of the Lord is near~"

Xu Shu's eyes lit up.

it's him!
Tnnd there are still people in the Hero Club, they actually dare to come!
Xu Shu immediately jumped down from behind and suddenly spoke from behind the man: "Today!"

"Grass!"

The young man was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground. He turned around to look at Xu Shu, who was covering his face. He felt that he looked a little unfamiliar and asked in confusion, "Who are you?"

"Boss Cai asked me to wait here." Xu Shu pressed his vocal cords back with his throat and said in a muffled voice.

The man was relieved when he heard it and said, "Oh, so that's it! Sir, I've been waiting for several hours, and the contact person of Party A has not shown up. What should I do?"

“Hmm…I see…”

Xu Shu's eyes turned, and he immediately knew the identity of the guy in front of him. Cai Qijun said that the task of the Baidi Army was to find civilians who were willing to believe in the secret religion and hand them over to the other side.

In this case, Party A’s contact person must be an escort guard or believer like the “Black Rose” in the Hero Society.

This man was neither from the Heroes Society nor the Cao Gang. He was a "local" in the safe zone and a civilian spy who had received money from the "White Emperor Army". He was responsible for connecting with the people from the Heroes Society and also for opening up channels for "believers".

It now seems that the contact person from the Heroes Association will definitely not be able to come, so the man became anxious.

Humph, Cai Qijun was not honest. Although he did not lie in his answer to me because he was afraid that I would find out, he deliberately did not tell the whole story. He said less, omitted some, and tried to distort the story as much as possible. He deserved his death!

Xu Shu thought for a moment and said, "This place was checked, so we temporarily moved to another place."

The man suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. I was wondering! Sir, what should we do now?"

Xu Shu said: "Let's go over there first."

"Okay!" The man understood.

Xu Shu followed the man without saying a word.

The two of them walked out of the hotel through the back door one after the other, walked through the nearby vegetable market, and entered an apartment complex with dense buildings, the "Xinchun Community."

This place has a heavy smell of fireworks and a large number of residents. The corridors still maintain the unique customs of this era: at the door of every house there is a bulging green or black garbage bag, which is filled with all kinds of unsorted garbage and gives off a sour smell of decay. Every layer makes passers-by hold their noses and walk quickly.

Xu Shu had an expressionless face as he followed the man up to Room 907 on the ninth floor of Building .

"Right here. This time there are seven people in the family, two children, three elderly people, and a pair of parents. I have almost appeased them. Except for the male owner who is still a little reluctant, the rest are willing to offer everything to your Lord in exchange for his blessing."

The man took out the key and handed it to Xu Shu.

'Your Lord', haha, this guy is the introducer, but he himself doesn't believe it?

Xu Shu nodded, but didn't move it.

"?" Xu Shu looked at the man.

The man was also anxious, crying and said, "Sir, where is the money for today? We agreed to pay the money when we meet, so why can't I follow you every time you come here?"

"...The boss hasn't arrived yet, and this is all the money I have on me." Xu Shu whispered and took out more than 14,000 yuan in banknotes.

Of course he didn't bring much money with him when he went out today.

I thought this amount of money was not enough, so I just made up an excuse. But the man looked at me and his eyes lit up. He smiled with yellow teeth showing and said, "Why are you so generous today? Say thank you to me and your boss Cai. He is so polite."

Xu Shu's expression froze. He looked at the man happily counting money, then looked at Room 907 that was about to be "sacrificed", and suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of absurdity.

After thinking for a moment, Xu Shu asked very gently, "Where are your other brothers?"

The man didn't notice the change in Xu Shu's tone at all, and asked back, "What other brothers?"

"Are you working alone?"

"Ah?" The man was confused. "Sir, didn't you ask us not to form gangs and contact other human traffickers in private? Sir, are you new here?"

"Oh, I see. I am indeed new here."

Xu Shu nodded and understood.

These people do things very flawlessly, and there is always a one-way communication between superiors and subordinates. It is unlikely to break through all of them through one loophole.

Moreover, there are probably many groups similar to this man. They are active in various residential areas. They are bribed by the White Emperor Army with money. Relying on their status as locals, they secretly promote the esoteric religion and then hand it over to the White Emperor Army for rewards.

As for subsequent events, they did not participate at all, so there was no point in torturing them.

Thinking of this, Xu Shu knew that it was meaningless to continue investigating, and all clues would be cut off at the Heroes Conference.

That being the case...

Xu Shu patted the man's shoulder and said, "Come in with me."

"Ah? Sir?" The man was stunned. His body was involuntarily suspended in the air and was grabbed by Xu Shu like a chicken.

Upon entering the door, it is a small house of less than 30 square meters. The bunk beds on both sides are quite messy. A family is eating a dinner with almost no oil or water. Two old people are worshiping a white curtain covered with symbols, muttering something.

When they saw Xu Shu coming in, they were all startled at first, then their eyes fell on the man, and then looked at the narration that was holding him.

A middle-aged woman asked in astonishment: "Mr. Zhou? Is this the messenger of God who came to baptize us?"

Seeing this, Xu Shu grinned and said, "Yes, a messenger of God? There is no such thing as a messenger of God! You have all been deceived by the cult, you know that."

"Ah?" After hearing this, the family showed a firm expression and said:

"Mr. Zhou, is this the test from the Lord that you mentioned?"

"God's messenger, please rest assured. We have a firm belief in the Lord! We will never tell anyone about our affairs. They are all sinners, and only we see the hope of salvation!"

"We pray every day, hoping to join the Kingdom of God and receive His favor!"

They spoke eloquently and their expressions were extremely sincere.

Only the middle-aged man had a strange expression in his eyes.

The corner of Xu Shu's mouth twitched.

Damn, it’s worthy of being a cult. Its brainwashing ability is outrageous.

He was too lazy to say more. He picked up the neck of "Mr. Zhou" and twisted it into a dough twist in front of the whole family. Blood spurted out and landed on their faces, the table, and the steaming food.

"Did you see that? This is the fate of believing in a cult! Listen to me, except for the Dawn Church, all the gods in this world are damn bad guys and they all want your lives. Do you understand?" Xu Shu threw the corpse on the ground and helped the archbishop to spread the word.

At this moment, the whole family was stunned.

The man jumped up in ecstasy: "Look, look! What did I say? I told you this was not decent, but you didn't believe me!"

The others ignored him and wailed like bereaved people: "Woo waa! Why, we just want to enter the kingdom of God~"

The wailing was particularly sincere and every sound was pleasant to the ear.

Xu Shu looked at it and shook his head, then turned around and walked out of the apartment.

——I’m Xu Shu, the light of doomsday. I save people from suffering but not fools.

After thinking about it, Xu Shu sent a message to his deputy Tang Ying, asking her to make arrangements in the Adjudication Department to find someone to seal off the apartment building and check every house from top to bottom to see if there is any fish like "Mr. Zhou" who has escaped and assisted the evildoers.

There is no need for the clearing team to take action regarding matters related to cults. The patrol police team has people dedicated to handling them, so Xu Shu does not need to waste time on this.

"Okay, sir! I'll arrange some people to handle it for you right away!" - Tang Ying, a second-level assassin.

"..."Xu Shu frowned.

Isn't this woman a murderous assassin?
Why does she use so many modal particles when typing?

It's really uncomfortable... She didn't talk like that just now...

Xu Shu came to the Caobang Building with a strange expression on his face, and found a convenient hotel with a good view.

The quality of this hotel is slightly better than the previous one, but the sound insulation is just so-so, and it's eight or nine o'clock now, which is a good time. The sounds of the two generals fighting can be heard everywhere upstairs and downstairs, and it feels like the building is shaking.

Xu Shu was not surprised. He simply unbuckled his belt and lay on the ground. While monitoring the Cao Gang's base camp not far away, he took out the remaining crystals, stuffed them into his crotch, and began to do sit-ups.
