The rising sun shatters the darkness!

Chapter 352 "Deactivation Society" Part (asking for monthly ticket)

What are you translating? You don’t even know this?

Hu Wei was extremely surprised.

But if you think about it carefully, even if the other party is a senior prosecutor, he is a foreigner after all. It seems normal that he doesn't know the local organization "Inactivation Society". After all, the reputation of this organization is not so good.

Officer Hu figured out the reason after a brief thought, but just to be safe, he still asked carefully: "Director Xu, have you heard of our Penglai Wanfa?"

"I have had some close contact with her." Xu Shu recalled the taste of the snake mother and said it quite conservatively.

Hu Wei asked: "Then do you know the difference between living cultivation and dead cultivation?"

"Have heard a little bit."

"That's it! To be honest, in Penglai District, whether it's the Judgment Department or the Administration Bureau, or the entire Astronomical Society, I can only be considered the second in command. The real right to speak belongs to..."

Hu Wei first breathed a sigh of relief, at least he could save a lot of effort in explaining. Then he looked around and pointed to the top of his head with a slightly sly look.

Xu Shu raised his eyebrows: "Bai Yujing?"

"Director Xu's eyes are as sharp as a torch!"

Hu Wei flattered him, lowered his voice, and sighed, "Although the two methods of living and dead cultivation both originated from Baiyujing, they are not harmonious with each other. The dead cultivators believe that they are orthodox and that living cultivation is unorthodox and against the laws of nature, and they often suppress them.

"It was actually not so bad originally, but in recent years, some living cultivators have often caused some not-so-good-looking bloody incidents, and gradually some organizations that are extremely hostile to living cultivators have emerged among the people. The Living Cultivation Society is the most mysterious and powerful one in recent years.

"You can probably guess from the name that they believe that the existence of living cultivators is against the laws of nature and human ethics, and they want to completely eliminate the sect of living cultivators. They often use cruel means to assassinate lone living cultivators, and they will leave this kind of secret code at the scene.

"Alas, the Judgment Department has actually been very troubled by this kind of thing. We have destroyed many such extremist organizations, but the people of the Annihilation Society act erratically and appear and disappear mysteriously. This problem has been a big problem for a long time. In the Judgment Department, it is a case that no one wants to touch, because even if they investigate it, there will be no follow-up, and it may even bring trouble to themselves..."

Xu Shu touched his chin and said, "Commander Hu, I think you have something else in mind. Do you mean that the annihilation society has a connection with the top leaders of Baiyujing?"

Hu Wei's eyelids twitched, and he waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, no, no, Director Xu, please don't scare me, I didn't say that."

"You didn't say that, so it really happened? Okay, I understand. I promise not to tell anyone." "Thank you, Director Xu, for your consideration of your subordinates!" Hu Wei said.

"Hey, you're welcome. Thank you for helping me clear up my doubts." Xu Shu patted his shoulder.

So this is what happened after all this time. That explains why the young woman Zhang Qian was inexplicably murdered and why the scene was made to look so ritualistic.

It turns out that I wasn't thinking too much, but that was the fact. There really was such an organization doing things.

Because there are often people who commit crimes and are caught, has public resentment accumulated and a backlash occurred?

Xu Shu's mind flashed through Xinglongzhuang, where people refined "sublimation pills" in the wasteland. He also thought of Zhang Zifeng, the "principal" of Sunshine Elementary School, who had just been killed a few days ago and killed children to refine medicine when his life was about to end. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Admittedly, judging from these two cases alone, "live repair" is indeed annoying enough, and the subsequent retaliation it triggered can only be said to be a cycle of cause and effect.

"Living as a cultivator is dangerous and consumes your life. If you are not careful, you will be doomed." This is what the mysterious senior Yong Shu said, and it is indeed true.

However, is the behavior of the "Inactivation Society" reasonable?

Xu Shu didn't think so.

He would never kill everyone with one blow just because of the existence of darkness in some corners.

Although there have been several cases of criminals committing crimes by living cultivators not long after entering Penglai District, this does not mean that "living cultivators" are directly equated with "murderers".

It is easy for living practitioners to go astray, but that does not mean that every living practitioner deserves to die.

For example, among the paths of extraordinary people, there is a path called "criminal". Extraordinary people of this profession will be affected by the curse and are more likely to commit illegal acts such as murder than ordinary people.

Almost all the "criminals" Xu Shu had encountered, regardless of their rank, were real criminals who regarded human life as worthless. For example, the Baidi Army would often kill dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of refugees in a shelter.

However, if a "criminal" is placed in front of him now, he still will not kill the person directly, but will want to know who the other person is and make sure that he has really committed a crime and is not an innocent person.

In this kind of matter, there is no such thing as "it is better to kill someone by mistake than to let him go."

Even if only one in ten "criminals" are innocent, all practitioners in the entire pathway should not be harmed.

Unless the Astronomical Society, as the authority, directly enacts laws to completely block the "criminal" path and not allow anyone to take this path to advance to the extraordinary level, and recalls all existing "criminals" and provides a way to change paths, strict militarized control can be implemented.

Otherwise, if this cannot be done, no one will be qualified to do something like a "one-size-fits-all" approach.

You know, there are quite a few "criminals" in official organizations, and their ability "Angry People" is indeed very useful and is widely used in some grassroots construction work.

In addition, stage three of this path is called "Warden," which instead turns into the direction of punishing and correcting evil.

Are these poor people going to be beheaded? Are those "wardens" who have punished evil all their lives going to be picked out and killed for no reason in the end?

This is obviously unreasonable.

Similarly, isn't the "elimination of the living society" described by Hu Wei exactly taking this wrong path? All living cultivators should be completely eliminated?

This is clearly a rather extreme organization.

If active repair is an extreme shortcut that leads to uncontrolled risks, then inactivation is just going from one extreme to another and will not solve the problem at all.

In this world, extremism is not the right choice without exception!

Of course, cults are an exception. Cult believers all deserve to die, and I will kill one if I see one - extremist Xu Shu said righteously.

But he was just saying this.

In fact, Xu Shu is most particular about six words: "Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor!"

It can be seen that the 'Anti-Revival Society' most likely originated from some people who were harmed by the evil living cultivators, but this is how he feels now.

But what did this young woman Zhang Qian do to them? Isn't this just an innocent victim?

At least, judging from what happened in the morning, Xu Shu felt that the "veterinarian" Zhang Qian did not seem to have sacrificed any child to refine the elixir.

She was just a little lonely, so she used her child's disappearance as a means to gain the man's sympathy and try to create some romantic relationship. What did she do wrong?

Well, come to think of it, the daughter she saw this morning seemed to be fake, and was disguised as a "rabbit-type alien servant". Could it be that Zhang Qian had refined her own daughter into "sublimation pills" and fed them to the servant?
That shouldn't be the case. Even a tiger wouldn't eat its own cubs...

"Director Xu, what did you say? I didn't hear it clearly?" Hu Wei pricked up his ears and asked Xu Shu who was mumbling to himself.

Xu Shu shook his head and said, "Nothing. Good luck to you guys. If you find any follow-up to this case, please let me know. I'm very curious. Let's add each other as friends."

"Okay, Director Xu, I'll scan yours." Hu Wei originally didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing, but now that he could add a higher-level prosecutor as a friend, he certainly wouldn't refuse.

This is my personal network! Maybe if I encounter any difficulties in the future, I can ask Director Xu for help!
Hu Wei happily hid his thoughts and exchanged upgraded network business cards with Xu Shu.

"Hu Wei, second-order Impermanence." Xu Shu took a look at the other party's message and thought that this was somewhat similar to his pale face, as if he was like a dead person. It turned out that there was only a wrong name, but no wrong path.

The other party's excited look made Xu Shu sigh. Once upon a time, he also had the experience of adding "bigwigs" everywhere.

Now that I have become a "big shot" in the eyes of others, it makes me feel that time flies and it seems like just a day ago.

He didn't stay any longer and immediately said goodbye and left the crime scene with "Useless Knowledge Point +1".

"Director Xu, take care. You are welcome to come to my office anytime for tea and guidance!" Hu Wei, who had received a big favor from heaven, smiled as he saw Xu Shu out of the door and looked down at his message.

"Gu Pan, third-order dragon elephant... This should be Director Xu's nickname..."

"Strange, this name looks so familiar, I seem to have seen it somewhere..."

Hu Wei silently memorized the name, and his expression suddenly froze.

Holy shit, he's the grass python hero ranked eighth on the Qingyun Ranking? The Invincible Golden Spear?!

……

……

After returning home, Xu Shu silently locked the door, and an inexplicable thought suddenly came to his mind.

The house opposite is considered a haunted house. Will this affect the price of my house?
Although the houses here are only purchased with the right to use and only come with a "residence permit", there are still situations where you end up with a house that you can't buy. For example, you have to keep paying for it because you can't find a buyer, and if you find a buyer, you'll lose money because of the haunted house problem.

"It's almost the year 2143, and I feel like I'm back in the shadow of a mortgage. The first-class safety zone is too much of a bully!"

Xu Shu comforted his family with great annoyance.

When the adoptive parents learned that the deceased was actually the young and enthusiastic neighbor woman whom they had just met, they were fine. They just lamented that things are unpredictable and it is dangerous for a woman to live alone.

But her younger sister Zhou Shiyu's reaction was exaggerated.

She seemed to have suffered a huge blow. She quickly took a shower, then knocked on the partition door with red eyes, and shouted aggrievedly: "Brother, I'm so scared. I feel like I will have insomnia at night! What should I do if I can't sleep?"

"..." The orange cat curled up on the windowsill heard it and silently rolled his eyes.

But Xu Shu felt that what his sister said made some sense.

After this incident, he felt more and more that even the Lower Town No. 2, which had relatively good public security, was only "relatively good" after all.

Indeed, the quick arrival of police officers and even junior and mid-level prosecutors has indeed proven the efficiency and strength of Penglai District, and proved that the local government is serious about doing things, far ahead of most security zones such as D8B3 District.

But what's the point of remedying something like this after it happens?
It is better to prevent it than to mend it! There were only two or three kittens and lambs at home, so Xu Shu decided to let Alice look after the house when he went out.

After a brief thought, he nodded and walked towards his sister and said, "That makes sense. I really can't let you sleep alone from now on."

"Eh?"

Zhou Shiyu was stunned at first, then her eyes suddenly brightened.

Did my brother mean that he would...

Before she could finish her fantasy, her chest suddenly sank and a huge
Plush ball.

"Hold the cat. This cat is called Alice. Keep it with you from now on. She will protect you. Now go to bed. I'm going to take a shower."

After Xu Shu finished speaking, he packed his clothes, walked into the bathroom, locked the door, and left his sister with a look of regret on her face, and Alice with a look of resentment.

Placing the small jade Buddha figurine on the dressing table, Xu Shu took a deep breath, a hint of coldness appearing at the corners of his mouth.

What first-class security zone, what harmonious city full of high-level extraordinary people, it's all bullshit.

His determination to become stronger became stronger and stronger. He quickly lay down under the shower, and in the splashing water, he grabbed two blue crystals and stuffed them into his underwear.

The road of life is rough and difficult for people to walk. I, Xu Shu, have survived until now, and I have never relied on external things, but only on my own efforts.

"Sit-ups, start!!!"

This is an interweaving of blood and sweat, a dance of roars and gasps.

December 12th was another sleepless night.

The next morning, the cock crowed three times and Xu Shu woke up from his bed. Before him was the Taichu scroll slowly unfolding.

[The sun is rising, and all things are reviving. Welcome back to the Taichu Volume, great master! ]

[Number of times opened today: 3/3]

After one night, Xu Shu's level did not improve.

His third-order seal still remains at level 2.

It wasn't that he didn't work hard or that he didn't have enough experience points, but he didn't really practice all night last night. He only swallowed one piece of crystal and then stopped.

Because during the day, swallowing the broken level 18 curse crystal had already reached his mental limit, Xu Shu did not dare to push for too much success.

Such a huge improvement in one day is already a terrifying speed.

What he is judging now is that his current devouring speed, maintained at 3 blue crystals per day and night, is the best effect.

This will not affect your own state too much, and you can respond to any emergency at any time. At the same time, it will almost push the progress speed to the limit.

If you do more, it will only cause excessive damage to your body and you may have to rest for several days afterwards, which will be counterproductive.

So, early last night in the morning, Xu Shu stopped practicing, returned to the big bed to rest, and had a good quality sleep again.

Now, as soon as it was light, he got up, washed, and then went to the station in the downtown area, took the underground train, and went out of the city.

"Lanling Wang asked me to have a chat tonight, so I have to give him this favor. It just so happens that I can leave the city during the day, and by the way, I can use the legendary mode to test whether my recent fortune is dangerous..."

"Well, one draw for the journey, two draws for the legend, just right!"

Sitting on the train, Xu Shu silently thought about today's plan.

It’s still early, but for the people in the lower city, it may not be considered much of a priority.

Xu Shu got on the train at 6:30. It was already the second train out of the city. The train was packed with people, with almost no room for a seat. It was much more crowded than the late night trains.

Many residents in the city are actually on the verge of bankruptcy and have to continue their previous livelihoods - such as mining.

Therefore, most of the people on the train are early risers. Although they live in the safe zone, their daily routines are not much different from those in the wasteland.

The air was filled with the smell of sweat sticking to skin, as well as the sour smell of overnight odor from some sloppy people who were perhaps too lazy to brush their teeth. The overall environment in the carriage was far less leisurely than when entering the city at night.

Xu Shu endured the almost suffocating smell, thinking that under such circumstances, it would be difficult to produce a plot similar to "Pervert on the Train".

Finally, we endured and drove all the way through the underground Baishi Tunnel, left the safe zone and entered the surface.

Xu Shu got off the bus at the first nearby stop, opened the Taichu Scroll amid the crowd, and entered the journey mode.
