The rising sun shatters the darkness!

Chapter 304 Xu Shu's Preparation (asking for monthly ticket)
Under the night sky, Xu Shu touched the big orange, then looked at the red-haired girl who followed closely beside him. He couldn't help but nodded secretly, feeling slightly satisfied.

The orange is so big... No, it’s just that I think it’s so thoughtful!

Tang Ying looks like a hot-tempered big sister, but in fact she is meticulous and thoughtful.

Xu Shu felt that she was a useful talent and there was something he could entrust to her.

what's up?

Of course it's a family matter.

Although Xu Shu knew that the Tzeentch sect would launch an attack tomorrow, he was not sure where exactly they would launch the attack.

It could be a dirty, messy slum, or it could be a mixed commercial area.

Perhaps it will be launched in several places at the same time?
After all, there are already three living chosen ones of the Demon God whose names are known.

Therefore, even if they really raised troops in many places tomorrow, Xu Shu would not be surprised.

He could even predict in advance that some unlucky civilians would inevitably die in the attack tomorrow and become victims of the Judgment Department's suppression of the cult.

Of course, it’s not just civilians, but also officials from the Judgment Department who will be on the front lines and will die on the front lines.

As written on the mobilization order, this mission is extremely dangerous, and the people from the Judgment Department will bear the brunt of it, and many will inevitably be sacrificed in the conflict.

Previously, all members of Xu Shu's mopping-up team, Group 10, were annihilated, which is a lesson for us.

This is not a joke; it is an inevitable cost.

If you are lucky and the enemies you encounter are not strong, you can successfully kill the cultists and receive rewards.

If they were unlucky and a powerful Chosen One happened to appear in the block they were responsible for, then the annihilation of the team was almost a foreseeable outcome. Being able to send a signal for help before death was already the limit for ordinary members.

In every "security cleanup" in history, many soldiers have sacrificed their lives.

Some young newcomers may still be full of enthusiasm and hope to achieve more in the "next week".

But those old hands who really knew the dangers inside went to the church to pray overnight, hoping that no cultists would appear in the neighborhood they were next responsible for. Even if there were, they hoped that they would be weaker peripheral members.

But regardless of whether they realized the danger of this action from the few casual words in the mobilization order, no one could retreat from this action.

Raise an army for a thousand days, use it for a while.

Every member who joins the Judgment Department, whether they are ordinary police officers or prosecutors who have become extraordinary people, is not sure whether their names will be added to the "sacrifice list" tomorrow, but they still have to be firm in their will and keep moving forward.

Life and death are determined by destiny, wealth and honor are in heaven.

——But there is a group of people who enjoy privileges because they are too "rich".

For example, Tang Ying and Song Yuchun.

Xu Shu had heard Yu Mingluan mention that they were the direct descendants of the Tang and Song families respectively.

Before this, Xu Shu was not clear about the value of the word "direct line".

But after reading this strategic deployment plan, Xu Shu understood.

Song Yuchun and Tang Ying's task for the next week is to lead 5 junior prosecutors and 55 ordinary police officers to patrol "Yuanye Shopping Mall" and "Dragon Dream".

The former is on the same street as the Dawn Church; the latter is the largest wealthy area in the safe zone, right next to the Cathedral of the Mother of Life, and just across a square from the gate of the Judgment Department.

Xu Shu really wanted to complain at that time.

Damn it, do these two need to patrol this place?
Isn’t this right at the entrance of the Judgment Bureau’s headquarters?
The cultists are indeed crazy, but they are not fools. They don't even understand that you should pick on the weak.

So it is obvious that this is the true meaning of "wealth and honor are from heaven".

When you come out to hang out, you have to talk about your background and your power.

While some people are still praying that no particularly powerful cultists will appear in their mission areas.

Some people were directly placed in the safest area and got the credit for nothing.

And there are definitely more people like this than just Tang Ying and Song Yuchun.

Xu Shu could easily imagine that the area within one kilometer around the Astronomical Society was probably occupied by such people with connections.

The relatively peripheral areas, which are a mixed crowd and most likely to be attacked by cults, are distributed equally to everyone without any background or support.

However, Xu Shu is no longer the naive boy he used to be. He will not blame others or complain about why people are born unequal.

On the contrary, considering that tomorrow's situation is rather special, Xu Shu decided to take advantage of this privilege himself.

Since Tang Ying wants to curry favor with her boss, give her the opportunity!
My home is in an area of ​​4-5 kilometers. It is not very dangerous, but it cannot be said to be very safe. Who knows if there are cult members who want to kill people and burn things here.

In everything, we should be prepared for the worst.

Therefore, Xu Shu's plan was to have Tang Ying bring her adoptive parents to the Judgment Office early tomorrow morning and have them stay in his office for the whole day.

Tomorrow, December 12th, is Saturday, and my sister will be out of school at noon, so I can pick her up and take her back to the Judgment Bureau. (Note 12)

This eliminates the possibility of encountering cultists if something happens. Perfect!
It is worth mentioning that all third-level personnel are in a flexible standby state - although Xu Shu is not yet at the third level, he is a senior prosecutor like other third-level members, so he is treated equally in terms of strategic direction.

"Haha, this way, when I'm out hunting down the secret believers tomorrow, I won't have to worry about my family anymore. I can just do my best to serve the Judgment Department. This is great."

There was a smile in Xu Shu's eyes, and his plans were going smoothly.

He glanced at Daju and thought to himself that this girl was great, she was very conscientious and careful, and she would definitely be able to execute such a simple task perfectly.

But why is she blushing?
After thinking about it, Xu Shu understood.

This is being alone with my boss. It's so scary!

Xu Shu found it a little funny, thinking that when you two teamed up to kill me earlier, you were not like this. It is true that a higher-ranking official can crush a person.

"Don't be too nervous, it's not a big deal. I'll tell you in detail when we get home," Xu Shu said.

"Hmm~" Tang Ying lowered her head and spoke in a small voice.

The two walked all the way, but at a fairly fast pace.

Tang Ying is an advanced "rogue", an "assassin", and in terms of running strength, she is even better than Xu Shu.

In just over ten minutes, the two of them walked from the Judgment Office to the downstairs of Xu Shu's residential area. Amid the occasional breathless gasps coming from upstairs, they entered Xu Shu's house.

His adoptive parents were both at home at this time, and Xu Shu came back late at night, so naturally he greeted them for a while and asked about their well-being.

Taking advantage of the time to chat, Xu Shu introduced Tang Ying:
"My father is Zhou Junjie, my mother is Li Guoying, I'll have to trouble you a lot to help me take care of them tomorrow!"

Tang Ying quickly said seriously, "Director Xu, leave this matter to me. I will ensure that the task is completed."

She made the promise with a serious expression, but was thinking in her heart, why did Director Xu just take me directly to meet his parents?
Isn't this a little too fast?
Tang Ying's heartbeat began to accelerate.

As for Zhou's father and mother, although they were puzzled by Xu Shu's decision to ask them to stay in the Judgment Department all day tomorrow, after what happened before, they had already obeyed their son unconditionally.

They listened to whatever Xu Shu said and had no objections.

But, Ah Shu, did he get a promotion?

In the blink of an eye, he became "Director Xu"?

Being named after the word "bureau", this position must be quite important!
But what happened that required the transfer of family members?
Father Zhou was surprised and alert.

But it was Tang Ying that Zhou's mother cared about.

Who is this red-haired girl?
What is her relationship with Ashu?
This figure, this appearance, this temperament...hiss, she is so much better than the widow who was raising a child before!

Although we are colleagues, it is dangerous to be so close to each other...

Zhou's mother kept looking at Tang Ying secretly.

Xu Shu didn't care about this, his mind was completely focused on tomorrow's important matters.

After making all the arrangements, Xu Shu asked his parents to go and rest first.

Then, Xu Shu went to his sister's room to get a set of clean pajamas and said to Tang Ying, "Stay here tonight and leave early tomorrow morning. Go take a shower first."

After saying that, Xu Shu pushed her into the bathroom and went back to his room first.

Tang Ying stood there alone, holding pink underwear in her hands, frozen in place.

Let yourself take a shower first...

This, this is no longer a hint, but a blatant statement!
Tang Ying was struggling internally.

In order to stop herself from having wild thoughts, she took off her clothes, turned on the shower head, adjusted the water temperature, and let the water from the shower head splash on her pure white skin. Her eyes fell on the fan's underwear next to her.

Even women's clothes are ready...

He had planned it all along and asked me to sleep with him?
Damn it, he looked so serious on the road, but actually...

No, Tang Ying, oh Tang Ying, you already knew that he was not a serious person, didn't you?
He dared to touch your body wantonly when we met for the first time. You already knew what kind of person he was!

You obviously know everything, but you still followed me tonight. Why are you pretending to be so sincere? ...Amid the sound of splashing water, Tang Ying's eyes became firm.

Be bold!
Why can't women take the initiative?
There are too few good men, so it's normal to be a little bit lustful.

Some things you have to fight for yourself!
After washing Hong Fufu's whole body until she looked as white as a lamb, Tang Ying put on her nightgown with a little awkwardness.

This nightgown is a little small, which makes it tight in some places, especially the chest.

Haha, men, you have a strong desire to steal, but your vision is not good. You can even make a mistake in judging the size so obviously?
It seems that he has very little experience. Maybe it’s his first time, just like me?
Tang Ying pressed her proud chest with her hand and felt that she had regained some confidence.

Then she walked out of the bathroom and approached Xu Shu's door a little shyly.

call!
After taking several deep breaths, Tang Ying pursed her crystal clear lips, reached out to grasp the door handle, and prepared to sacrifice herself.

Click, click!
I continued to try hard but still couldn't open the door.

Tang Ying was stunned, a little bewildered, and instinctively twisted it a few more times.

However, the door didn't move at all.

"Um, Director Xu? Director Xu?"

Tang Ying, who failed to enter the door, stood there in shock. She tried calling out softly twice, her voice was gentle, like a kitten in heat.

Soon, there was a wheezing sound from inside, mixed with voices:
"Did you finish your shower? Go to bed early! Huhu!"

"Forehead……"

rest?

What break?
Failing to get the expected "open the door" response, Tang Ying subconsciously looked back.

She suddenly discovered that the sofa that everyone had been sitting on had been spread out and turned into a simple small bed.

There was a quilt and pillow on the bed, all neatly arranged.

Moreover, they are all pink and have cute cartoon pigs printed on them.

"It's not...this..."

Tang Ying opened her mouth slightly.

Sleep in the living room?
I?
After a while, a big question mark appeared on her head, which turned straight and quickly into a silent scream.

ah? ? ? ! ! !

……

……

In the private bathroom in the room.

Xu Shu was lying in the bathroom, his upper body naked, doing sit-ups while panting.

The narrow-sleeved Guanyin was placed on the sink, with one black eye watching everything.

The orange cat Alice leaned forward, lying on the narrow-sleeved Guanyin, and her sapphire eyes were also watching all this.

She looked at Xu Shu, whose body was covered with small drops of blood, and spoke slowly:

"Sir, perhaps you should stop eating the erosive crystals. This has obviously exceeded your limit. If you continue, you might die. Even I can hardly help you with this."

As a third-order "succubus", Alice naturally has a very amazing amount of milk, far surpassing Gu Yueming, a witch who is also one of the three paths of life - after all, not to mention the difference between the third and second orders, she has as many as eight throwing pieces.

But even so, she couldn't save a transcendent who had ingested too much corrosive crystals and whose curse had gone out of control.

It is common sense that the only two things in the world that can curb the erosion of cursed energy are the extraordinary people themselves and their "upgrade drive".

Beyond that, any help that any profession can provide is icing on the cake.

Including the dual cultivation effect brought by the 'Nun' profession, it only helps the extraordinary people to get help when they impact higher levels, and can truly stimulate their potential so that they will not be too affected by problems such as state of mind and understanding.

In other words, external objects can help extraordinary people reach their limits as 'perfectly' as possible, but they cannot allow them to break through their limits.

In Alice's eyes, Xu Shu, who was bleeding all over, obviously had exhausted his potential and his cultivation could not be improved temporarily. He had to stop and reflect on it carefully before he could break through the limit.

Otherwise, the current level is the limit of his strength. Forcibly swallowing the erosion crystals will inevitably lead to the erosion of the cursed power exceeding the limit. The curse seal in the body will fail to contain it, and the cursed power will be out of control. The result is - death.

But the only thing she couldn't understand was why Xu Shu could still laugh?
He was clearly already bleeding and his potential had reached its limit, so why was he still continuing to devour the erosion crystals?

Alice expressed her utter incomprehension.

Of course, Xu Shu couldn't explain to her that every time he "upgraded", he was breaking through his limits.

If it weren’t for the “sit-ups” recovery ability to save my life, I don’t know how many times I would have died.

And the third-level master of the path of life could not actually see the specialness of 'sit-ups'. This surprised Xu Shu, but also made him feel it was reasonable.

After all, it is his only title of "taboo" level, so it is reasonable to be a little special.

In this regard, Xu Shu explained:

"A true warrior must have the courage to face the bleakness of life and the blood!"

As he said this, he stuffed another crystal into his crotch.

Alice watched all this silently, without noticing that the little jade Buddha pressed by her chin quietly rolled its eyes, seeming to be very dissatisfied with her overly intimate behavior.

After an hour or so, Alice couldn't help asking, "Why is your upgrade drive your inner library?"

As she spoke, she shook her cat head, and her collar glowed faintly, indicating the position of her upgraded drive very frankly.

"Oh, what's that? There are so many things you haven't seen."

Xu Shu didn't bother to pay attention to her, his eyes were extremely determined.

He has 12 crystals in his hand today. Conservatively speaking, he can upgrade at least one more level and become a level 34 expert.

However, reaching one more level is the limit of my mental state today.

Do you want to try your best and force your way to level 36?
In this way, the guaranteed node for the 'Yangshen Iron Armor' curse has been reached.

'Yang Shen' will gain a second skill.

And 'Iron Armor' will comprehend the third unique skill.

By then, my strength will be raised to a higher level, and I will be more secure when facing the sneak attacks of those cultists tomorrow.

However, thinking of the consequences of swallowing too much erosion crystals before, even Xu Shu couldn't help but shudder.

"Don't be impulsive or reckless! If I really force myself to upgrade, I'm afraid I'll be so weak tomorrow that I won't be able to fight anymore."

"Eat your food one bite at a time and walk your journey one step at a time."

"There is a long way to go, and only by maintaining stability can we achieve progress."

After much thought, Xu Shu overcame his inner greed and improved himself step by step.

A man, a cat and an evil spirit were waiting silently in this small bathroom.

……

……

The night is thick as water.

In the North District, on the top floor of an inconspicuous building that is more than ten stories high.

In a private room filled with smoke and decadence, a man lies on a leather sofa, enjoying the attentive service of two girls with good figures.

As his hands, feet and mouth moved, his smile grew more and more intense, and the pungent smell in the air became suppressed like a volcano before an eruption.

At this moment, the door suddenly opened with a bang, and a tall man in black strode in.

The man on the sofa suddenly lost his temper. He angrily grabbed one of the girls and bit through her crown, biting off half of her head and began chewing it hard.

The other girl was bitten on the head and she was so scared that her face turned pale and her body trembled.

The man frowned and said, "I asked you to stop? Humans are such a bummer!"

As he said that, he grabbed the girl's neck, pulled her head off her neck, and threw it into the trash can along with her fresh esophagus. Only half a word of "Help" remained in the air, which was covered by the pungent smell of blood.

The man who entered the door glanced at his companions and sneered, "Rashiem, God did not choose us to come here for pleasure."

"Is this just because I had a meal?"

Rashiem swallowed the girl's remains whole with displeasure, licked his lips and said:
“Alinada, you have no right to tell me what to do, where is Lord Serkis’ brother?

“You’ve been looking for so many days and still can’t find it, how do you do things?
"I suspect that you are not sincere to my Lord. You should do the most menial work tomorrow, such as creating a fog area and creating a hundred followers of the Lord."
