The rising sun shatters the darkness!

Chapter 319: Hypnotic Dream, the Man Behind the Scenes (asking for monthly ticket)
"Don't scream!"

The piercing scream that made one's teeth ache seemed to have no effect on Xu Shu.

He was almost completely unperturbed, and he grasped Sister Qiangwei's chin and placed it on the table.

Kaba!

Sister Qiangwei's beautiful brain blossomed on the clean boss's desk, and her whole head exploded.

"So weak?"

Xu Shu was slightly surprised.

Although both were at the second level, there was a huge gap in their strength, and the gap seemed to be quite large.

With just a few gestures, the third supervisor of Jinbaoshan and her subordinates were all killed.

After doing all this, Xu Shu looked at the three crying girls on the ground and asked casually, "Do you need my help to untie you?"

Although he thought there was a high probability that these three people were kidnapped, he still asked subconsciously.

What if the other party is willing?
Even if it is to save someone, I have to ask other people's opinions. If you ask me to save you, then I will help you.

This is polite.

amount……

polite……

Xu Shu's gaze fell on Sister Qiangwei whose head was blown up, on the maimed thugs lying on the ground, and on the tightly closed door. Suddenly, a question arose in his mind.

"Something's wrong... Why did I come in without knocking today?"

"This is so rude, this is not my style..."

The more Xu Shu thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, and the expression on his face gradually froze.

As he began to doubt, the air around him suddenly vibrated like boiling water.

Sister Qiangwei's face suddenly became shattered under the fist.

This shattering did not seem like the disintegration of flesh and blood, but rather like the breaking of a mirror, and like ripples, it produced a chain reaction.

It spread to the table, to the floor, then to the air, to the walls!
Wow!
Almost in an instant, everything around disintegrated into countless tiny particles.

Xu Shu's vision suddenly blurred and he felt a little dizzy. When he regained his sight, he saw a closed door in front of him.

"Oh, there really is a problem!"

Xu Shu looked around vigilantly and found that he was still standing in the corridor, standing at the door of the third room.

Not far away in the second-floor lobby outside the glass door, the five security guards were still sitting around a table playing cards and smoking, having a great time and shouting loudly.

Everything was exactly the same as before he walked in.

"This……"

So what happened just now was all an illusion?

No, it wasn’t a simple hallucination…it was more like it dragged me into a dream and created the corresponding scene.

When did it start? When my hand touched this door?
Well, in the "dream" just now, some of my negative emotions seemed to be slightly amplified, becoming quite impulsive and irrational.

For example, when I discovered their kidnapping just now, the better choice would have been to quickly reveal my identity as a second-level transcendent.

In that case, there will be no fight at all. The other party will most likely give me face. Even if I want to save someone, I can just spend some money and take the person away. There is no need to use force at all.

If you have the ability, it will be more helpful to show your strength and identity in advance!

If one wants to do something secretive, then it is normal to conceal one's own strength or even pretend to be an ordinary person without power.

But I am here to buy a ticket, not to go on an incognito visit, inspect the people’s sentiments, or crack down on pornography and illegal activities!
Now that I'm in the gangs' place, why should I continue to hide my strength? Isn't this just asking for trouble?

There is obviously something wrong with this choice... Hmm, maybe they are deliberately guiding me and forcing me to fight them in my dream?
It’s quite interesting. What kind of ability is this that can disturb me in my dreams?
It shouldn't be "Impermanence". Impermanence's ability is more inclined to drive the dead souls and control the zombies, while this kind of dream is the ability of hypnosis, similar to that of a psychologist...

But what do they mean by doing this?

You show off your skills as soon as we meet. Is this considered a warning to me?

This shouldn't be the case... Even if Jin Baoshan is a local tyrant who is used to bullying others, there is no reason for them to come into conflict with a transcendent person like me who has unknown origins, right?

This is not in line with the human instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm. It is not good for them to offend me, so why do they do this? Just to bully me, a "foreigner"?
What a joke! If they were so brutal, this gang would have hit a wall long ago and been uprooted!

Besides, if you really wanted to test me, why didn't you just do it directly? Why did you have to go around in circles and put on such a show?

……

Xu Shu touched his chin, and one guess after another flashed through his mind quickly. For a moment, he was unsure of the intentions of the two extraordinary people inside.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was not right. No matter how he thought about it, he felt that it was not consistent with the actions of a normal human being or a supernatural being.

I feel like there's something fishy going on here...

His eyes rolled around, but he did not back down. Instead, he reached out his hand to the door panel, bent his index finger slightly, and knocked on the door.

Tuk-tuk-tuk!
There was a loud knock on the door, but no one answered.

Most people would tentatively turn the doorknob at this time.

But Xu Shu did not do so.

Under the powerful force of his fingers when he knocked on the door, a hole as thick as a finger was quietly poked in the solid wooden door panel.

He peeked inside through the hole, and his pupils shrank immediately.

All I see is blood!
The house was in a mess, with corpses all over the floor.

They were the hatchet-wielding thugs I had just seen in the “dream”!
They were all dead, and their deaths were quite tragic, with their heads and bodies torn apart and their broken hands and feet scattered everywhere.

"Who did it? It couldn't be me, could it? Could it be that the dream I just had can still reflect reality? Did I kill someone in my dream?"

Xu Shu was shocked.

But he quickly ruled out this possibility.

Because my body is clean, without any blood stains!

Besides, even in the dream just now, I didn’t kill these noobs.

"Fortunately I didn't go in, otherwise I wouldn't be able to wash myself clean even if I jumped into the Yellow River!" Xu Shu said to himself.

Then, without touching the door again, he quickly walked to the stairs and into the hallway.

"There's no one in your supervisor's room." Xu Shu said calmly.

Several security guards looked at Xu Shu, and one of them stepped forward and said, "No way? Let's go check it out. Stop playing around, guys, and get to work!"

As he said this, he threw down the bad deck of cards in his hand, took the initiative, and walked to the door of the third room with a smile on his face.

When the other people saw this, they started cursing, but they could only follow along helplessly.

"Sister Qiangwei! Someone is here to visit... um."

The security personnel knocked on the door, but no one responded. Just as they were wondering, they saw a small hole in the door and smelled a strong smell of blood coming from inside.

Without too much time to think, they hurriedly turned the doorknob.

Chirp!

Two people rushed in and unexpectedly stepped on a pile of thick fat at the door, causing them to fall, with blood and internal organs splattering all around them.

"Wow!"

"vomit!"

"Damn, what happened?"

"Where's the third supervisor?"

"Quick, call for help! Boss Qiangwei has been killed!"

As soon as the door was opened, an extremely strong smell of blood hit the nose, and several security guards vomited one after another.

The sight of corpses all over the ground frightened them so much that their faces turned pale. Two of them covered their mouths, turned around and ran to the other side.

Xu Shu noticed that this person did not run to the other rooms in the corridor, but ran downstairs.

It seems that there is only one supervisor working here today?
He seemed to be thinking about something, and while deliberately shouting "Oh, what's going on", he stood outside the door, poked his head in, and looked around.

Now that he has the security personnel to back him up, he doesn't have to worry about being blamed anymore.

After observing the messy corpse for a while, Xu Shu made a preliminary judgment.

A total of 17 people died at the scene. Their deaths were horrific and all of them were dismembered.

But it is worth mentioning that the internal organs of these people were missing, their stomachs were cut open, as if they had been dissected, with intestines but no internal organs in their stomachs.

Fortunately, although their heads had moved, they had not been taken away, so their identities could be preliminarily identified.

Xu Shu compared the scenes he had just seen in his dream and found that the dead included Jin Baoshan's thugs, a male accountant and others.

As for the security personnel's claim that Sister Qiangwei was killed, he did not agree because the woman's head was not seen at the scene.

Therefore, for now, she can only be considered missing and cannot be said to be dead.

In addition, the bodies of the three girls who were kidnapped were not found.

"In other words, the men were killed, quartered, and their internal organs removed, while the female victims disappeared?"

Xu Shu touched his chin, nodded first, but then shook his head.

It is not possible to make such a judgment yet, because this is just a comparison with the "dream" that I was just dragged into.

And who can know whether the things in the "dream" are true or false?
Although the dead bodies on the ground matched those in the dream, the appearance of the three captured women and the third supervisor, Rose, might not be real.

Mixing truth and falsehood is the best way to deceive people. Xu Shu often uses this himself, so he will not be easily fooled by others.

Besides that, he couldn't find the person who had dragged him into the dream.

The scene was full of dead bodies, not a single living person. From this point of view, the man must have escaped... "You don't dare to see me. It seems that you are not good at direct combat. I don't know what means you used to pull me into the dream."

"Hehe, he found out through the dream that I'm not weak, so he immediately chose to retreat. It's a decisive decision. This is reasonable, but it will be difficult to find him again... Forget it, what does it have to do with me? I'm just a passerby who wants to buy a ticket."

"But the attack was so bloody and cruel, so inhumane, dissecting the corpse and taking away the women...hiss, this method is very much like a cultist trying to perform a sacrificial ritual..."

Xu Shu narrowed his eyes.

——As a "stray dog" who had just experienced the destruction of D8B3 area, lost his home where he had lived for more than ten years, and lost many old acquaintances he could name, he treated all cultists equally.

As long as he encounters someone, no matter which evil god the person believes in, he must kill him!
The saying "hate the house and hate the dog inside it" is exactly this principle.

Although the "Jinbaoshan Mine" is not a formal gang, judging from the situation downstairs, it is most likely that they are bullying men and women and taking advantage of others.

But compared to them, those cultists deserve to be wiped out.

Xu Shu wanted to fuck her hard.

However, he doesn't have that much free time now as his family hasn't settled down yet.

It makes me angry just talking about this. Now that the supervisor of Jinbaoshan is gone, what should I do with my train ticket?
Xu Shu was a little dazed for a moment.

"Get out of the way, don't block the road, let the squad leader take a look at the situation!"

A few minutes later, with a shout, the security personnel came back, bringing with them a large group of Jinbaoshan's thugs and three dark-skinned men.

The three men had gleaming eyes and walked with the gait of dragons and tigers. It was obvious that they had extraordinary skills and were most likely extraordinary people.

After seeing the tragic situation at the scene, the three "squad leaders" calmed down after their faces changed slightly.

"I'm afraid he was attacked by someone from Xinglong Manor...Sister Qiangwei is not here."

"Quickly seal off the scene, no one is allowed to leave from now on!"

"Send a message to the chief supervisor immediately and ask everyone to gather!"

After the three men checked the bodies at the scene, they gave orders one by one. One of the sturdy men simply pushed his hips, turned on the upgrade drive, and began sending messages.

"Forehead……"

Xu Shu frowned slightly, thinking that this man was most likely a "strong man".

At this time, after sending the contact information, the squad leader noticed Xu Shu's unfamiliar face and asked cautiously, "Who are you?"

Before Xu Shu could speak, the security guard who was playing cards earlier rushed to say, "Brother Tianci, this person was brought here by Xiao Li. He wants to ask Sister Qiangwei to buy a ticket."

Another person also said: "Yes, later we found that the door could not be opened, and then we saw that something had happened!"

"Oh. So that's how it is."

Xu Tianci nodded and looked at Xu Shu. He felt that Xu Shu was handsome and honest, and didn't look like a bad guy. He continued, "Take him to the lobby and wait. Don't leave for now. Wait until the big manager comes."

"Okay, Brother Tianci! You, come down with me." The security personnel called Xu Shu away.

This was the beauty of Xu Shu not opening the door himself just now. With their own people talking, the squad leader did not suspect Xu Shu was the murderer, otherwise he would not be able to clear himself of the relationship.

However, the situation was serious after all, so several people asked their men to take him to the lobby downstairs to watch over him. They did not let Xu Shu leave directly, but they stayed here and waited for the gang to send someone over.

Xu Shu had no objection, although these people couldn't stop him if he wanted to leave, but he wanted to see if they could find the murderer, and also thought that when the person in charge came, he should be able to get the train ticket.

There is no way. A homicide is a homicide, but not having my train ticket processed is also a serious matter.

He followed the others into the corridor.

"Tianci, have you contacted anyone?" Another manager searched through all the bodies in the house, but couldn't find the body of the third supervisor, Sister Qiangwei, and asked anxiously.

"The big boss replied and said he'll be here soon..." Xu Tianci was halfway through his sentence when his pupils suddenly shrank and he looked at his companion and shouted, "Fuck, be careful!"

"Biaozi, get out of the way!" another person also shouted, and the two of them ran out at the same time, wanting to rescue.

It turned out that when the squad leader who was checking the corpse in the room turned around and spoke, the corpse behind him suddenly floated into the air.

A golden-ringed, silver-scaled snake as thick as an adult's arm emerged from the broken head's neck. It opened its mouth and a stream of thick, green venom shot out towards the back of his head like an arrow!

Li Biao had just checked the pile of corpses and found nothing wrong. How could he have imagined that there were enemies hiding among the corpses and launching a sudden attack?
Although his two companions wanted to rescue him, they were too far away. Before they could even say a word, the venom seemed to have already penetrated the back of Li Biao's head, and they were completely unable to help.

This time, something unexpected happened and Li Biao was about to die.

But at this moment, a black light flew in from the door, as fast as lightning, and arrived first, perfectly intercepting all the venom.

At the same time, it spun in the air, like a boomerang, and flew back out the door and back into Xu Shu's hands.

It is Black Widow’s first breakthrough skill, “Eight Spider Lance”!
After Xu Shu reaches the second stage, all the first stage abilities are much more powerful. The "Eight Spider Lance" does not need to be fully unfolded, and only one of them can be exposed. Although the power is not as good as the fully unfolded transformation, it is more concealed, convenient, and unexpected. (Note 1)

Before he could even thank the man for saving his life, Li Biao felt the hairs on the back of his head stand up, as if he had been to the gates of hell. He immediately turned around and jumped backwards, firing one hidden weapon after another.

Judging from his methods, he is obviously a first-level "hunter".

At this time, Xu Tianci and another manager also arrived to provide support.

Xu Tianci used his talent as a "strongman" and charged straight ahead like a rhinoceros; the other man picked up a short knife, spun it in his hand at high speed, and cut towards the snake's body. It was obviously the movement of a "martial artist".

The golden-ringed silver-scaled snake showed a very human-like look of resentment on its face, and it glanced viciously at Xu Shu who was looking at it.

It is often said among the people that snakes are intelligent and will hold grudges. There is even a rumor that someone provoked a poisonous snake, which secretly followed him into his home and bit him to death. This shows that the snake deeply remembered Xu Shu, the guy who had done bad things to it.

When the snake revealed its true form, it was quite large, about three or four meters long, thick and big. No one knew how it had managed to hide in the corpse and had not been discovered.

It twisted its body and did not hesitate to fight. It rushed towards the window at an astonishing speed, leaving an afterimage and avoiding the attacks of the three people.

Seeing that the silver-scaled snake was about to escape, Xu Shu at the door slowly raised his lips and whispered to himself: "Explode."

Just as he finished his words, with a snap, the silver-scaled snake unexpectedly fell from mid-air, rolled on the ground and curled up into a ball, making a hissing sound in extreme pain.

Xu Tianci, Li Biao and the other three looked at each other and followed in surprise, only to find that the originally plump and round snake body had now become shriveled and exposed rotten flesh, like a dry and rotten firewood.

——This is naturally Xu Shu’s method.

The snake was very unhappy about being interrupted in its attack and glared at Xu Shu with resentment.

But how could it know that it could look Xu Shu in the eye casually?

As an extraordinary creature, this snake's eyesight is much stronger than that of ordinary snakes, but it still didn't notice that when it was looking at Xu Shu, Xu Shu was also looking at it, with two smaller compound eyes slightly open in the corners of his eyes.

The power of "gaze" has long been attached to it.

This snake is quite powerful, but it is only at the first level after all. Xu Shu is very strong and he fought against it at a higher level and took it down.

Of course, there are certain problems here.

Because it was a battle across levels, it was difficult to control the size. Xu Shu used too much force, and the silver-scaled snake struggled a few times, with strong unwillingness and fear in its eyes.

But after taking a full "gaze", its head finally tilted, its tongue stuck out, and it fell to the ground and died, emitting a strong stench of rotting corpse.

"This……"

Xu Tianci and the other two might have wanted to capture it alive, but seeing this, they had no choice but to give up.

Li Biao used a knife to cut open the snake's body on the spot and fished out a corrosion crystal from it. It was blue with purple and had sixteen strands!

"Brother, I will never forget your life-saving grace! This thing should be your trophy."

Li Biao took the crystal directly to Xu Shu with a very sincere attitude.

If Xu Shu had not taken action just now, regardless of whether his companions could capture the silver-scaled snake, he would have been dead anyway.

I am so scared just thinking about surviving a disaster. The goose bumps on my back haven’t gone away yet.

Xu Shu was not polite either. He said that a level 16 blue crystal could be sold for at least 20, so there was no need to refuse.

Xu Tianci came over and wanted to stop him, but then he said, "So you are a transcendental person. I misjudged you, but..."

It’s actually nothing to encounter a supernatural being visiting you on a normal day.

But in the current situation, they will inevitably be very wary of other extraordinary people.

It was just that Xu Shu had just rescued their people, so Xu Tianci really couldn't bring himself to question him.

Xu Shu saw that he was in a dilemma, so he thought for a moment and said, "My name is Yu Mingluan, and I'm a registered ghostwriter of the Astronomical Society. I came here to open up new land. I've traveled all the way here and am just about to return to the safe zone."

While impersonating an old friend's name, he showed the small receipt he got when he went to the Astronomy Society to claim the bounty, and at the same time slightly let out his breath.

Compared to the "senior prosecutor of the next-door safe zone", the identity of the Astronomical Society's ghostwriter is obviously more down-to-earth and more easily accepted by these unofficial gang members.

"It turns out to be Brother Yu."

"Thank you so much for your help just now!"

The three of them immediately stood in awe, and their eyes changed.

After Xu Shu revealed his aura, they felt a considerable amount of oppression. They could judge without asking that the young man in front of them, who looked honest, sunny and cheerful, was much stronger than them. He was definitely a second-level transcendent, on the same level as the supervisors in their company.

This time it was not just a matter of saving their lives, but due to the absolute difference in strength, they had no choice but to be polite and courteous.

Xu Shu didn't want to argue with them any more, and instead asked, "This alien species looks unusual and very intelligent. Does it seem to have a grudge against you?"

"This..." Xu Tianci hesitated and seemed reluctant to say it.

Li Biao said immediately: "Humph, I was not sure before, but now that this thing has come out, I know for sure that it is indeed the people from Xinglong Village who are behind this!"

Xu Shu asked curiously, "What is Xinglongzhuang?"

Li Biao said, "You seem unfamiliar with this place. Xinglongzhuang is the leading enterprise in the neighboring Xinglong Town. Raising snake monsters is their signature method! They have always had friction with our Jinbaoshan, but in the past they have always competed based on strength. This time they dared to directly use dirty hands. We must ask the director to come forward in person and ask for an explanation!"

He looked quite angry, but it was not surprising, after all, he was almost killed by an ambushing.

Xu Shu was a little curious.

Xinglongzhuang and Jinbaoshan are leading enterprises. They sound so decent. He originally thought he had encountered a cult sacrifice, but it turned out to be a gang fight?
But raising monsters that eat people is really outrageous in Xinglong Village.

Wait, Basilisk...

Xu Shu suddenly said "Oh" and reminded: "By the way, speaking of the basilisk, I saw one when I came in before..."

Before he could finish his words, bursts of miserable howling came from downstairs.
