Chapter 368 Old News and Plans (asking for monthly tickets)
Um, auntie, could you please pay attention to the words you use when speaking?

You make me suspect that you come from some perverted world called Kyoto Collapse...

Xu Shu muttered a few words to himself and started thinking quickly in his mind.

What is my true identity that is suspected to be shameful and yet Zhong Xiaoya knows about it?
After thinking about it, Xu Shu only thought of one possibility.

"The fact that I did a good deed and left my name on it has been spread by the directors behind Xinglong Village, Yinli Town and other places? How shameless! They don't dare to come and settle accounts with me, but deliberately ruin my reputation. Even Jiang Chengzi knows about it!
"Fortunately, I was one step ahead and had anticipated this. I left the name of the Archbishop. Haha!"

Xu Shu smiled sinisterly, showing no fear at all.

Since he dared to leave his name openly after killing someone, he was certainly not afraid of them knowing it.

It was "Yu Mingluan" who killed your men. What does it have to do with me, "Xu Longxiang"?

As for Zhong Xiaoya, she seems to be the only one who knows that Xu Shu = Yu Mingluan... Well, they have a good "brother-sister" relationship, and she also has a special relationship with the "real Yu Mingluan", so she shouldn't give herself away, right?
After hesitating for a moment, Xu Shu carefully considered his words and sent a message: "Senior, have you heard any rumors recently? I swear, the person who wiped out those criminal groups such as snake demons, flower demons, and devils who eat children these days is definitely not me! Of course, I believe that senior does not want the secret between you and your old classmate to be unwitnessed, so you will keep it for me, right?"

“? Okay, okay, you still dare to threaten me and turn against Tiangang, right? Then this matter is hard to say!” - Eat a peach.

"Sorry, Sister Jiang Chengzi, I was just joking!" Xu Shu immediately changed his words.

"Brother Xiaorenxia is really itchy!"

"Haha, don't blame me, sister. So... has the news of Yu Mingluan's evil deeds really spread out?" Xu Shu asked seriously.

Zhong Xiaoya then said: "Oh, I underestimated you. You guessed it in just one sentence. I thought you would not be able to react. It seems that you are a little smarter than I thought."

"Forehead……"

Xu Shu was speechless for a moment, thinking about the fact that this big guy once mistakenly believed that he didn't even know that he needed the "intermediate frequency sequence band" to advance to the third level, and yet he generously gave him one, he couldn't help but start to become suspicious.

Could it be that she really thinks of me as some kind of “illiterate idiot but a descendant of an old friend”?

This stereotype is a bit too much.

Don't underestimate people!

Xu Shu clenched his fists and asked politely, "What advice do you have, sister Jiang Chengzi?"

"Nothing, I just want to kindly remind you that there are many fish in water who have set their sights on you, so you better be careful.

“Die Lianhua is a show-off. She ranks last on the twelfth floor and last on the human list. But a master on the human list is a master on the human list. She is not a soft persimmon that can be easily bullied. If she attacks you personally, you may not be able to escape.

"Of course, if you are deliberately declaring war on them, just ignore what I said."

Zhong Xiaoya typed slowly, with clear paragraphs and spoke in an orderly manner.

When Xu Shu saw the texts sent by the other party, he was stunned for a moment.

what is this?
What does it mean that there is always fish in water?

Why does this sound a bit unserious, like a gang of old perverts trying to steal women?

As for "Dielianhua", Xu Shu knew about it.

This was one of the three divisions closest to the safe zone in the wasteland, including 'Xiren Township', 'Ganlu Valley' and other places where Zerg servants were raised. He had once gone there to hunt for a whole day, so he still remembered this place clearly.

There is no way, the insect queens are really well-fed and it is hard to forget them.

"It is said that the top masters in Baiyujing include the Lord of Five Cities and the Lord of the Twelve Floors. Now it seems that the last one in the Twelve Floors can also be ranked on the list. It is worthy of being a super power. It is indeed extraordinary."

Xu Shu pondered secretly and replied politely: "Okay, I'll pay attention to it. Thank you, sister Jiang Chengzi, for reminding me! By the way, may I ask, what's your rank on the twelfth floor?"

Zhong Xiaoya replied: "Your question is a bit too presumptuous, and it is obvious that I am not from Baiyujing. I am just a figurehead."

"Oh? Oh, I see~"

Xu Shu was stunned at first, then he suddenly understood.

That's right, this guy is from the Judgment Department, and belongs to the "Astronomy Society". This human leadership organization is still somewhat ranked. It is understandable that he cooperates with local superpowers in the local area...

He thought for a moment and replied, "Nothing else, right? If nothing else, I'll get busy."

"???"

Zhong Xiaoya sent a lot of question marks, and then quickly typed, "What a cold-hearted person you are! Is this how you treat your sister?"

Xu Shu: “…”

If you have something to say, say it now. If you have to fart, fart now!
He rolled his eyes, and considering that the other party had given him a 10 million yuan intermediate frequency sequence band, he said politely, "Then please speak quickly."

Zhong Xiaoya was choked for a moment: "First of all, congratulations to Brother Xiaorenxia for being promoted to the third realm. By the way, let me make an appointment with you in advance. Please help me when you are free. Come with me to the Sea of ​​Death. There is a nice relic that needs you."

What a coincidence! You are also going to the Sea of ​​Death? Is it the "Night Parade of One Hundred Demons"?

Xu Shu touched his chin and said, "You want me to be a meat shield?"

"What else? I helped you after all. As the saying goes, a drop of water should be repaid with a spring. I'm sure that my little brother Xia will not refuse a poor little sister." Zhong Xiaoya said as a matter of course.

Xu Shu asked back, "Don't you have any other Dragon Elephant friends? Why do you have to wait for me to be promoted?"

"Oh, they are definitely not as good as you~~Anyway, you warriors just need to attract the monsters' hatred in the front, but we support professions have a lot of things to consider." Zhong Xiaoya said.

"Fuck, why can you send voice messages!" Xu Shu's mind automatically emerged with the image of the other person's 1.2-meter small body hugging his thigh and acting coquettishly.

"What?" Zhong Xiaoya was stunned.

"Nothing. When are we going?" Xu Shu felt that this girl who liked to act like a little loli was really humble, and asked about the time. His attitude was very obvious, that is, he agreed.

He was not opposed to teaming up with acquaintances to conquer the ruins.

On the one hand, with the guidance of an acquaintance, there are fewer uncertainties. On the other hand, since the other party has asked this question, it is highly likely that he or she has brought a "trigger" with him or her, which is a priceless treasure, so you will make a profit no matter how you calculate it.

As for the risks?

The Sea of ​​Death is indeed terrifying and evil. Even a third-level transcendent would die if he fell into the sea. The ruins above must be even more dangerous.

With the three lives of the Taichu Volume at his disposal, and his own strength having greatly improved, he no longer has to be as timid as before.

Anyway, before going out, I would look ahead to see the situation first. If there was a car accident on the road, I would retreat...

Xu Shu waited for a while, and even thought about how to arrange the time for cultivation on the way, but he heard Zhong Xiaoya say:

"Don't worry, you just broke through, your strength is not very stable yet. Let's wait until you stabilize your state and get closer to the middle stage of the third stage, then we will set off. Brother, you see, other people only think about how to exploit you, but Xiaoya is different. Xiaoya only feels sorry for you~"

Why send voice again...

However, what this means is that only those in the middle stage of the third stage can barely join their team?

It seems that I have underestimated Xiaoya. Her real strength is probably in the late third stage?

Xu Shu was a little surprised, but he was not in a hurry and simply replied "OK".

Xiaoya didn't reply for several minutes. When Xu Shu thought that the other party had probably gone offline, he closed the webpage and prepared to go home to rest, and then his underwear started to vibrate again.

He had no choice but to stop, thrust his hips again, opened the upgraded network, and saw that Xiaoya had sent another message.

This time she changed her previous affectation and became quite serious and said: "Let me ask you one last question. Have you thought about it? Do you really want to take revenge for what happened in the past?"

"?"

Xu Shu opened his mouth and was stunned.

What is she talking about this time?
Are you asking me if I want to avenge the Archbishop?

Of course revenge is necessary. I have an irreconcilable relationship with cultists. All the four evil cults in this world, including the White Emperor and Black Emperor branches of the Salvation Army who aid and abet the evil, as well as the "Quince" of the Star Society, every one of them will be wiped out by me sooner or later!

——Originally, Xu Shu planned to say this.

But when I thought about it again, I realized something was wrong.

Intuitively, he thought that what Zhong Xiaoya was talking about did not seem to be about the "big explosion" incident in area D8B3.

After all, it had been less than two weeks since the D8B3 accident, and it was obviously inappropriate to describe it in a tone that seemed like bringing up old matters, such as "what happened in the past".

Considering that her purpose in coming to see me today was to remind me to be careful about the "There are plenty of fish in the sea" organization;

Bai Sanxiang said that the waters in Penglai District were very deep. The Archbishop was born in Penglai District and had some enemies here.
He also told me to be careful not to bring Alice close to a place called 'Luling Terrace'. Apparently, the events of that year had not really come to an end yet...

After thinking for a while, Xu Shu judged that the revenge Xiaoya mentioned should refer to the grudge between the Archbishop and Penglai in the past.

And this matter must be related to Alice.

Well, Zhong Xiaoya and the Archbishop are old classmates, and she is one of the few people who knows the Archbishop's real name, 'Yu Mingluan', instead of calling him 'Gilbert Tyson'.

It is conceivable that she knew who the archbishop's original enemy was, and she might even have witnessed and experienced it all with her own eyes.

and,

In fact, Xu Shu has always been a person who appears to be careless but is actually very smart. The other party just missed a word, and he immediately had a brainstorming session and keenly discovered the special thing in it.

He could guess that this matter was probably related to the dispute between living cultivators and dead cultivators, and guessed that the archbishop was also a prominent figure here.

But there was too little information, and he could only guess at the surface things, unable to further infer the truth of the matter.

Should I ask directly and say that I don’t know what’s going on and hope she can explain it to me?
This idea was quickly abandoned by Xu Shu.

His intuition told him that if he asked, Xiaoya would definitely pretend that she didn't know about it, and choose to play dumb and keep the secret hidden forever...

Xu Shu rolled his eyes and replied in the same tone as the other party:

"I don't want to talk about the past, but if we want these things to truly become the past, we must dig out those who have been hiding and bury them again until they can no longer stick their heads out."

The implication is, you are right, I am here for revenge, but I can't find out who those people are! For the sake of our past relationship with Yu Mingluan, you should tell me this knowledge!
After typing this paragraph, Xu Shu read it over and over again, and felt that he was indeed a genius at being a riddle teller. He clicked send with great satisfaction.

After a moment, Zhong Xiaoya replied: "Okay, if you find the mastermind behind this, remember to call me, I will kill him! Back then, the old guy was full of benevolence and morality, and he killed a few minor characters and tried to suppress this matter. It's so funny. What right did he have to deny the path of my mother and me?"

"..."

Now Xu Shu was really silent.

What is she talking about? Why do I know every word she says, but when put together, it feels like it involves so many people? Who is the old thing? What happened to her mother?
This, this is different from what I expected. After she said that, I feel even more confused about how many people are involved...

Xu Shu opened his mouth, but soon he didn't want to play games with her anymore and didn't want to ask any more questions.

It's useless to know so much anyway. Even a third-level peak archbishop couldn't take revenge, so with my current strength, I certainly can't handle it. I need to calm down a little more.

What can be concluded now is that Zhong Xiaoya should be on his side, and there is nothing wrong with the values ​​of this big man in the Judgment Bureau.

She continued to use the name of "Yu Mingluan" and hunted down those living cultivators who did evil. This was in line with her values ​​and views on good and evil. She was even doing it herself, and everyone shared the same ideals.

Then again, she herself is also a living cultivator, so what’s going on?
I'm so annoyed and my head hurts. I need to grow my brain. It's true that the more I know, the less I know... Xu Shu decided to give up thinking frankly, thinking that I will know it naturally when the time comes.

As for now, it is better to use my amazing wisdom in something more useful!
He sent Xiaoya a "fist-bow" emoji and left the Star Tower with a relaxed mood.

He took only two steps and rushed back at a rapid speed, rushing past a short girl with an Aries mask who wanted to enter the "flight cabin" where he was just in, and successfully intercepted her, leaving the girl with a trembling scream of anger.

After entering the flight cabin, Xu Shu opened the chat box, found Bai Sanxiang and asked, "Director Bai, are you there? I need something from you."

"What?" Bai Sanxiang replied after a while.

Xu Shu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I want the archbishop's relic."

Bai Sanxiang was silent for a moment: "...I understand. Wait for me for five minutes."

……

Ten minutes later, Xu Shu left the Star Tower again.

This time nothing was forgotten.

The Aries masked girl who had just been overtaken did not squat in front of her. It must be that another flight cabin became vacant while she was waiting, so she went in.

Without giving it much thought, Xu Shu left the Star Tower and headed for his home in Lower Town District No. 2.

It was already before dawn, and many early-rising vendors and laborers were already on the road.

Some of them carried small bags, and some looked well-groomed, which meant they had jobs in the city;

Some are dishevelled and in a hurry to catch the first train in the morning. They will take time to eat breakfast on the train and use the toilet on the train to wash up.

These are people who have earned the qualifications to live in the city, but cannot find a job and must go to the wasteland to work every day to make a living.

They are also the real bottom-level laborers in the safe zone.

It is because the public transportation industry in Penglai is sufficiently developed that such unique scenes can appear.

You won’t see such awkward things happening anywhere else.

Nearing six o'clock, Xu Shu stepped on the shadow of the first ray of morning sunlight and entered the residence of "Lanling King 2-178-88A".

He had just quietly opened the door when a chubby, lazy-looking orange cat nimbly jumped down from the windowsill and walked towards him.

"Alice is looking after the house, so Alice is good; Xu Shu is not coming home at night, so Xu Shu is bad!"

She yawned as she walked in a silent cat-step, muttered softly, and came over to smell it, saying in annoyance, "Damn, there's some damn smell of female monster on you again~"

next second.

The orange cat suddenly looked at Xu Shu's face, its fur stood up and it flew away.

"I'm a fake corpse, meow!"
