The rising sun shatters the darkness!

Chapter 297: No Questions about the West and the East (asking for monthly tickets)

As we all know, the entrance to the ruins is a very annoying little thing.

It's always smooth going in, but there's a lot of resistance when getting out.

For example, now, as soon as Xu Shu entered the stone gate, he felt like he had entered a narrow passage, and his body was almost crushed.

Several people had to change from traveling side by side to queuing up in turns one after the other.

Xu Shu was a tall and strong man. He forced his way through the passage ahead, moving forward slowly with heavy steps.

After walking a few dozen steps, only one person could pass.

After a few dozen more steps, two more people can pass through to surround him from the front and back.

After a few dozen more steps, three people in front and behind could move forward without hindrance.

Not long after, several people came out of this small passage one after another. There was still a stone door in front of them, as if everything was still an illusion.

In fact, this was not an illusion, but a real departure from the small ruins of Gu Pan’s home, from the inside of the ruins to the outside of the ruins.

The stone door outside and the stone door inside are not the same thing; they just look the same.

Several people followed the previous passage back to the ground and returned to the Gu family's ancestral home. They all felt like they had seen the light of day again.

It was afternoon when they entered the basement, in broad daylight.

After escaping death and returning to the human world, the moon was already high in the sky and thousands of lights were lit outside.

Wei Wujiu and Qin Yue looked at each other, then walked up to Xu Shu and bowed.

"Sir, I'm grateful for saving your life!"

"In the future, if there is anything you can do for us in the Judgment Department, just let me know!"

The two expressed their gratitude with a sincere attitude, and finally stopped hiding the fact that they had already seen that Xu Shu was a "senior prosecutor" a long time ago.

Xu Shu was a little surprised that his identity was exposed, but thinking that as a senior prosecutor, his personal portrait would have been posted everywhere in the Judgment Office, so it was not surprising to be recognized.

But since you know me, why did you play against me this afternoon?
Xu Shu didn't dwell on the matter too much, nor did he say anything polite like "it's just a small matter, not worth mentioning".

Just kidding, people like Wei Wujiu and Qin Yue who know the times may be of use one day. Even if it's just a small errand, it can save a lot of effort. There's no need to give away such a solid favor for nothing.

Therefore, Xu Shu nodded, which was considered as his approval of this matter.

Wei Wujiu continued, "Sir, since you already know that Gu Jiangming colluded with aliens and murdered his colleagues, that's enough. As for the report on the deaths of our colleagues..."

Xu Shu glanced at him and thought that this man was indeed a veteran in the workplace, and he could express two meanings in one sentence.

One is to remind the "superior" to report without leaving any trace and without crossing the line, and the second is to take on some of the dirty work themselves.

Sure enough, it was worth it to save this kind of bastard first.

Xu Shu thought about it and said, "Then you go and do it."

"Yes, by the way, sir, the upgraded drive of Lao Zhang and others..." Wei Wujiu hesitated to speak.

Xu Shu said "oh" and threw out several small things without any embarrassment.

Including two bracelets, a small talisman bag, a ring and a belt.

The upgrade drives of these people are relatively normal objects, without any nails or rings.

Xu Shu absorbed the information from these upgraded drivers, and originally thought about taking advantage of the opportunity to get some "upgraded network" results.

However, he didn't expect that after he came out and took a look, he found that neither the "pre-death recording function" was effective, nor the credit for the deaths of several people was credited to him.

Therefore, Xu Shu now preliminarily concluded that under normal circumstances, the "array" could not interfere with what happened in the ruins.

Unless a sacrificial ceremony directed to Him is held like before in Zhuge Weiwo's ruins, but even then, it is still impossible to activate the upgrade drive inside.

Therefore, these upgraded drivers in hand are used as "death certificates".

"Thank you, sir! We'll be on our way there then!"

"We will write a report on the specific situation, and you will be asked to review and sign it when the time comes," said Wei Wujiu.

"Oh, go ahead."

Xu Shu nodded.

After the two men left, Gu Yueming and Gu Pan looked at this scene as if they had just woken up from a dream.

"They called you, sir?" Gu Pan asked suspiciously.

Xu Shu chuckled and said, "Teacher, you may not know that in the few days since we last met, I have officially become a senior prosecutor of the Judgment Department."

"Senior prosecutor..."

Gu Pan was speechless for a long time.

During the many years that their family had been in the safe zone, only the head of the family and three elders had climbed to the level of senior prosecutors.

It took many years of hard work to get to this point.

Xu Shu is only eighteen years old now, but he has already...

Damn it, he's improving so fast, can I, can I compare with him, no, can I keep up with him?
I am obviously the teacher! In my life, if...

"Wait, aren't you only at the second level? How did you climb up?" Gu Pan suddenly reacted and said loudly.

Xu Shu chuckled: "I told you a long time ago, if you want to get involved in the underworld, you need to have background and influence. If you just fight every day, what's the point of your fighting skills?"

"you?"

How dare you, a man who fights for life and death every day, say this to me?
Besides, what kind of power or background can you have?

You are just a layman, do you think I don't know?
You even cheated me into upgrading the driver!
Gu Pan knew that this guy was just trying to fool him.

However, Gu Yueming was watching at the side at this moment. She felt that this was a little secret between her and Xu Shu and must not be known to others. So she gritted her teeth in anger, but she couldn't get angry and had to swallow her anger.

After a while, she suddenly changed her tone and said, "I'm leaving tonight, can't you say something nice?"

Xu Shu was stunned: "Where are you going?"

As soon as he asked the question, Xu Shu understood it himself.

Where else to go? Of course, to join the Gu family’s main force.

Gu Pan nodded and said earnestly: "Well, the family has moved to D8B3 area. My aunt and I have to report to the family tonight. From now on, when the master is away, you need to be careful and pay attention to safety..."

Xu Shu waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, have a safe trip."

As a superhuman being in the post-apocalyptic era, Xu Shu has a "plane ticket" that allows him to travel around the world. There is no such thing as parting today and not knowing when to meet again. Therefore, Xu Shu does not feel any need to feel sad about parting.

Seeing Xu Shu's open-minded attitude, Gu Pan's tone froze and he forgot what to say next.

After thinking for a long time, she squatted down, untied a package from behind that was larger than the water tank of a solar water heater, and opened it on the ground.

Inside were the belongings that were brought back from the Gu family's ancestral land. Of course, there might be some wealth that might not belong to them personally, but that was not something Xu Shu could know.

Gu Pan opened one of the safes with a password. After opening it, he counted out a large bundle of money, exactly two million. He took it out separately and put it in a backpack, then handed it to Xu Shu and said, "This is for you."

Xu Shu asked in confusion: "Is this a farewell gift between master and disciple?"

Gu Pan glanced at him suspiciously and said, "You even forgot this?"

She seemed a little dissatisfied. She flipped through the banknotes and found a 100-yuan bill with an address on it. She showed it to Xu Shu and said, "I promised to give it to you. It's been almost a month late. I paid it off today."

what?
It took Xu Shu a long time to understand what Gu Pan was talking about.

Before coming back from the wasteland, I gave Gu Pan a life-extending pill, and we agreed that he would return me 200 million.

But...didn’t my aunt already pass on this money?
Xu Shu looked at Gu Yueming puzzledly.

I'm not! I didn't! Don't talk nonsense!
Gu Yueming looked pale and quickly denied it in his mind.

She was thinking about how to make up a story to explain that "the money she gave out came back to her, and she got rid of the fact that Gu Yueming and Gu Yuexi were actually the same person", when she was suddenly stunned.

Yes, didn’t I earn this money by working hard as a doctor and curing this boy’s old father?
How did this money end up in Panpan’s hands?
Gu Yueming also froze all of a sudden.

Seeing that the conspiracy was about to be exposed, Gu Pan looked at Gu Yueming and Xu Shu who were looking at each other. He was suspicious at first, but then he suddenly realized.

Got it! I think I told Xu Shu before that the money would be given to him by his aunt, but he is questioning this!
Gu Pan said as if it was a matter of course and he was trying to smooth things over for him: "Oh, I know about this. My aunt accidentally forgot about it. Don't take it to heart." Xu Shu was even more confused.

Since you know she has forgotten and you still remember it, why give it to her again?
When Gu Yueming heard this, he immediately knew that the money was stolen by Gu Pan.

Could it be that she thought that I had embezzled the money before?
Am I that kind of person?

Gu Yueming rolled his eyes and said, "Look at my memory. Since it's given by your teacher, you should accept it. As a disciple, it's normal to accept the teacher's kindness. Don't forget your teacher when you have a promising future."

"Oh, that's what happened."

Xu Shu "understood" and looked at Gu Pan: "Thank you very much! You are worthy of being my good teacher!"

Gu Pan nodded with a sense of satisfaction, thinking that this student knew how to cherish his teacher in his heart even though he didn't say it. He clearly owed him money and took a month to pay it back, but he still had to say thank you to me!

Xu Shu was muttering in his heart that although Gu Pan was usually stingy, she was very generous to him and lived up to his promise of saving her life many times.

Gu Yueming, who was the most miserable in the whole audience, lost two million and her heart was bleeding. However, compared to the image of a loving mother that she had built for many years collapsing into a coquettish young woman, she would rather accept the role of "greedy and stingy mother". After thinking about it, she decided to endure it.

The three people had different understandings, but they finally managed to resolve the matter.

Before leaving, Xu Shu thought of something and said, "Oh, if you are not in a hurry to leave, go take a look at this place."

He searched for it but couldn't find the note, so he picked up the 100-yuan note from the stacks of -yuan bills, turned it over, and wrote a new address on it.

"This place has a girl of yours... the illegitimate daughter of your Gu family. Her mother's name is Gu Ru, and her two daughters are named Gu Yunyi or Gu Yiyun. One of them looks quite similar to you. Why don't you take them with you?" Xu Shu handed the money to Gu Pan and explained.

"What's the similarity?" Gu Pan took the banknote with different addresses written on the front and back and looked at it carefully.

Xu Shu looked at Gu Yueming and said hesitantly, "That is, in some aspects!"

"What do you mean by certain aspects? Be more specific." Gu Pan was speechless. "Don't you dislike being a riddle teller?"

Xu Shu scratched his head: "This matter has something to do with me, but I don't think it has much to do with me. The main problem lies with you guys."

"Ah?" Gu Pan had a confused expression on his face, becoming more and more confused.

"That's right. It's related to the special secret technique I'm practicing. You know, when I practice, you will..."

"Stop!" Gu Pan screamed.

Xu Shu cooperated and stopped.

He couldn't say anything more specific in front of the two ladies as that would seem too impolite.

"Panpan, what did he say?" Gu Yueming asked curiously as it involved herself. She didn't seem to be particularly clear about this, even though she had had similar experiences.

"No big deal, got it! I'll go check it out!"

Gu Pan blushed slightly, folded the banknotes into a small package and put it away.

After a while, she took a breath and said slowly: "Your strength has improved very quickly, and I am very happy; but you have become arrogant since you became a senior prosecutor, and I don't like it!"

Xu Shu: “Ah?”

When did I become arrogant?

Isn't that what you are talking about?

Gu Pan let out a long breath, clenched his fist and said, "Just wait, I will definitely surpass you soon!"

As she spoke, she blinked her eyes, pointed to her chest and made a big "two".

Xu Shu was stunned.

What is this? What is two?

...I see, you're saying you have two dice?
And it’s very big?

It's not this kind of thing, why are you emphasizing it to me?

How shameless! We are master and disciple!

Besides, it’s not like I haven’t seen it before.

Bah, I'm too lazy to watch!
"Remember to do your work. No more nonsense. Take care, teacher!" Xu Shu clasped his fists.

Gu Pan thought Xu Shu understood that she meant that I would soon reach the second level, and thanked him for the second golden seal of the curse, so she said with joy: "Then take care of yourself too."

Xu Shu nodded to the two of them and watched them go towards the north city gate, towards Gu Ru's home. He felt relieved and turned to head towards the Judgment Office not far away.

I was supposed to deal with the "afterlife" of a team member today, but it was delayed until so late. Fortunately, there are still people on duty in the Arbitration Department at night, and this matter is not too important, so I can do it while I am at it.

No, there are more important things at hand.

Xu Shu turned a corner and went into a public toilet nearby. After entering the cubicle, he thrust his hips forward and activated the upgraded drive.

He opened the private chat channel and selected Bishop Yu Mingluan's dialog box. After a brief thought, he began to type quickly:
"Archbishop! I am sorry to bother you again. I have something very important to report."

"I encountered another demon chosen by God today. His name is Edric, and he is related to the plan of the cult."

"I learned from relevant personnel that their plan is called the [Blocking Drug] Plan, and it seems to be about to succeed."

"In addition, I also learned a name, [Sykes Paimon]. He is most likely the leader of this secret cult plan. He is known as one of the seventy-two slaves. At the same time, he is also Edric's brother. Edric mentioned in a few words before his death that they were suspected to have made efforts in the same direction, and Paimon may have achieved greater results. Unfortunately, I was unable to obtain more detailed information."

"Due to pronunciation and translation issues, the above names may contain some errors in expression. I hope they will not mislead you."

"Also, how is your operation going?"

"Your sincere junior and friend - Xu Shu."

After writing, Xu Shu reviewed it carefully to make sure that no key information was missed.

Then, he waited patiently for the other party's reply.

"I don't know what's going on over there. Well, according to what the White Emperor Army guys said, the day after tomorrow... No, that was yesterday, which means tomorrow, the plans of these evil cultists will be fully unleashed."

"The evil gods do not care about the lives of ordinary people. The road of life is rugged and difficult for people to travel. Their actions this time are so big that it is bound to cause another great loss of life. There will be countless more wronged ghosts and dead souls in the world."

"In this world, even if I try my best, I can only barely protect myself."

While waiting silently, Xu Shu took out the 200 million yuan that Gu Pan left for him, looked at it, and a look of joy appeared on his face.

I still have 5 erosion crystals left in my hand. I will use the 200 million to exchange them for crystals later, and I can increase my level to the next level tonight.

The money will not be enough in the future, but now that I have become a senior prosecutor, I wonder if I can get an advance on my salary?
If that doesn’t work, when the erosion crystals are not enough, just sell the first and second level spell crystals.

Although I always feel that there are things in the curse crystal that I haven’t figured out, but I don’t care about it. Strength is the most important thing!

At the rate of improving by three levels every day, it wouldn’t be long before I could attempt to reach the third level!
It's funny to say that there is a lack of resources for upgrading the intermediate levels, but the resources for promotion to the third level are almost complete. In this regard, Xu Shu is different from other extraordinary people. They usually reach a certain level but lack the things to break through the level.

As for Xu Shu, first of all, he already had the "Five Weird Family" seal he needed, and the "Yin Shen" seal was just right;

The spell crystals needed for the third level are also available. They were all ready before, with three provided by Su Ji Herrera, and another one just received.

However, this third-level spell crystal looked a little broken, and Xu Shu felt that it was not appropriate.

We can't take risks with this kind of thing. I'd rather spend some money to make Zhuge Weiwo's crystal into a talisman.

Well, let’s do this…

Thinking of this, Xu Shu felt a slight vibration. He picked it up and saw that it was a reply from Yu Mingluan.

"Okay, I know all these things, and I believe he will know them too. You've done a great job. I've been waiting for you for a long time. He won't be using this account anymore. Please add me as your friend." - Yu Mingluan.

Xu Shu frowned suddenly.

Isn't this tone Yu Mingluan himself?
what happened?

There is no such operation as "remote login" in the Shengge network. The fact that he could reply to himself through "Yu Mingluan" shows that this person was using Yu Mingluan's Shengge driver.

"Who are you?" Xu Shu asked cautiously.

The other party quickly replied:

"I will post on the world channel later, please pay attention to it."

"As for me, my name is Bai Sanxiang. I'm sure Lao Yu has mentioned me to you. Also, please come to the Dawn Church as soon as possible. He has some things and words for me to bring to you."
