The rising sun shatters the darkness!

Chapter 378: Professional "Corpse Retriever" and the Resonance Society (asking for monthly tickets)
In the dark corridor on a cold winter night,
Dark alley under cruel moonlight.

The charming voice faded away in an instant.
A heavy muffled sound fell quietly.

It fell right in front of Xu Shu.
Blocking the unobstructed road.

I had no choice but to take a closer look.
It is a torn sack with sharp edges.

The outer bulge is shiny.

Because there is waterproof plastic inside.

The bottom was still slightly damp.
A faint scent of blood and concrete.

……

……

"Well, if my sense of smell and my spirituality are correct, this could be..."

Xu Shu was stunned for a while. After careful analysis, he couldn't help but come up with a bold hypothesis.

He immediately began to verify it, walked forward and tried to tear the sack open, but found that the seal of the thing was very tight and locked with a hinge inside, which ordinary people could not open.

Of course, this may be a problem for others, but it is not a problem for Xu Longxiang.

Because there is no hole in this world that he cannot enter.

Without saying a word, Xu Shu pulled hard and forced the hinge open, revealing a small black hole and the shiny plastic film inside.

Xu Shu carefully pushed aside the plastic bag.

Wow!

A white arm wrapped in pink and white silk hung from the opening to the ground.

In an instant, the strong smell of blood was like a bottle of opened girl’s red wine, so strong that it hit me in the face.

"Hiss, it really is the people's fragments?"

Xu Shu touched his chin and peeked through the gap in the sack, discovering that it was a fairly young female corpse, with her head down and legs up stuffed into the sack. Judging from her clothes, she was definitely a lady from a wealthy family.

You can see huge marks of dissection on the chest and abdomen.

With Xu Shu's experience, this was enough to judge that this was a victim of a human organ smuggling case.

The girl's liver, kidneys, heart and other important organs had been dug out, and now only an empty shell was left in the sack.

After a little thought, Xu Shu, out of respect for the deceased, did not look at it any further. Instead, he stuffed the arm back into the sack, and then aligned the opened hinge buttons one by one and pressed them back together, making it look as good as before.

During this time, he looked around and found several special marks on the wall of the alley. White Xs and ○s were arranged in a regular pattern. Not far away was a groove with many full trash cans.

This is a small garbage collection station.

Obviously, tomorrow morning, the garbage truck will take away the torn sack.

Either they send them directly to the processing plant and destroy them together with other garbage, or their subordinates will come and secretly transport the things away along the way. This should be how they destroy the bodies.

Judging from experience, the local garbage removal work is probably controlled by these smuggling groups, which is why they are so fearless in dumping the bodies.

"Strange, the wasteland of Penglai is so prosperous, how can there be such dark things?"

"This place is different from the truly chaotic wasteland in D8B3. Every town here is guarded and supervised, and the level of social civilization is quite high. Why can such a thing happen so blatantly in the jurisdiction?"

"This doesn't seem to be a form of evil practice, but even those who have gone astray and tried to use children to make elixirs do it secretly. On the surface, they are under the banner of justice."

"Or... the local garrison personnel are the backers of these guys?"

"Forget it, let's report it to the local arbitration department and ask them to send someone to investigate."

'Senior Prosecutor' Xu Shu chose to report to the organization quite rationally.

After all, his employment file still belongs to District D8B3, and this is District D9B3. Cross-district law enforcement is not advisable unless the other party insists on provoking him directly.

Moreover, is it worth it for me to personally deal with a mere human trafficking group? At least it has to be a case involving extraordinary things to alert a third-level master like me, right?
Whether it was Xinglongzhuang at the beginning or Yinli Town later, they all had several common characteristics when they were destroyed by Xu Shu, such as involving relatively powerful supernatural beings; or involving cult cases suspected of devil worship.

This is what makes Xu Shu worth taking action.

If Xu Shu had to personally handle all the trivial matters, then I, the "Wasteland Law Enforcement Officer", would be too exhausted...

Well, I happen to know a few low-level prosecutors in the Judgment Department. I can send this matter to them to give them some performance, so that they can take care of my family in the future...

Xu Shu had a very clear idea in his mind. He immediately turned on the upgrade drive and found Hu Wei, the prosecutor in charge of the area where his home was, "Lanlingwangsi No. 2 Lower City District", and prepared to send him the location and case details.

Although the other party is a prosecutor in the safe zone, Lanshoufang, where the case took place, belongs to the "Yijiangnan Division" outside the city. The local director is quite powerful, and is at the same level as the "Dielianhua Division" in the west, and a master on the human list.

At first glance, it seems that letting Hu Wei come would also be considered "cross-regional law enforcement."

But in fact, this is not the case, because the various names of XX companies based on the tune were decided by Bai Yujing himself.

The Astronomical Society will only ever recognize one department, and that is the Judgment Department!
"Well, how about taking a photo? Otherwise it's hard to collect evidence? It's 10 bucks a photo. I'm pretty well-off. And since this is an internal report, I can get them to reimburse me for the expenses."

Xu Shu thoughtfully opened the "Eye without Pupil" and prepared to shoot the scene.

However, looking at the sack in the photo frame, he suddenly frowned.

It's so pitiful that this girl is lying dead on the street...

And judging by her clothes, she is the type of white moonlight that I admire the most, a bit like Hu Xinrui when she was still in high school, innocent and simple...

Well, come to think of it, what if the guards here are the backers of the human traffickers, wouldn't this be considered a crime committed by a supernatural being...

Xu Shu's eyes flashed, and his thoughts drifted away.

After a brief hesitation, he closed his pupilless eyes, bent down, and picked up the corpse.

……

A man and a woman were walking under the dim street lights.

The man was tall and strong, with a fierce look on his face, which made people feel scared just by looking at him.
The woman was dressed very seductively, in a tight cheongsam with a large slit. She exuded a fragrant scent when she walked, and from time to time, a section of her long white legs was revealed.

The two of them walked very quickly, and the woman complained in a delicate voice as she walked.

"Brother Hou, why are you in such a hurry? I haven't had enough just now, and you are rushing here. It's so embarrassing." said the woman.

"That's because I didn't know you were doing things so unruly! Where did this woman come from? What's her family's status? Did she have any companions? You didn't find out anything and just did her. You are so brainless! What if she has a background?"

The man lowered his voice, seeming a little annoyed.

After a brief pause, he snorted coldly and continued, "It's done, just do it beautifully! But you guys are still not clean enough, just throwing the patient in the operating room without anyone cleaning up in time. If someone hadn't come to tell me, I wouldn't have known you were so reckless!"

The woman was so angry that she felt wronged: "Brother Hou, I know I was wrong, but who told her to come and lie in front of our store by herself? There was no one around at the time, I just couldn't help it~ I won't dare to do it again next time~"

"How dare you do it again? You don't even know the rules of this business. Don't do this anymore!"

"Ah? Oh my, Brother Hou, please forgive me. I'll give you a bite when I get back~" The woman panicked and tried to please him quickly.

Upon hearing this, the man surnamed Hou touched his vital parts, and after hesitating, his attitude became tough: "Uh... Humph, then it depends on how you perform!"

"Ah, do we have to do it here? This is the roadside."

"What are you afraid of? No one will see you in the middle of the night."

The two of them quickly got into the mood and started working under the cover of night.

Just as they were making out, a male voice suddenly came from behind.

"Disgusting! So disgusting! Doing this on the street is so shameful."

Pfft!
As the man spoke, a heavy sack was thrown in the middle of the road, blocking the two men.

"What is that...ah, it's her!" The cheongsam woman took a look under the street light and immediately exclaimed.

This was clearly the dead man he had just thrown away! The man surnamed Hou suddenly became alert, quickly put away his weapons, and scanned the empty surroundings in the night, and asked loudly: "Who is there? Come out!"

"Come out? I've been waiting beside you for a long time."

Xu Shu changed his voice, stretched out a hand, and gently patted the man's shoulder.

“What…” The hair on the back of the man surnamed Hou suddenly stood up and he jumped away a few steps like a nimble monkey.

He looked back and saw a man wearing a black hat, a red scarf covering his face, eyes as bright as stars standing there. He was holding a thick black leather book in his hand. His temperament was elegant and outstanding, like a newborn bright moon.

And his female companion was held in the other party's hand like a chicken.

He looks like a pastor of the Dawn Church? Is he the companion of that woman?

The Hou man's eyes rolled around, and he pointed at Xu Shu and said, "Haha, you are hiding your head but showing your tail! Prepare to die!"

As he spoke, his muscles swelled up like an inflated balloon and a fierce aura spread all around.

"Ah, angry people...you, you are actually a 'criminal'?" Xu Shu showed a surprised expression on his face and couldn't help tightening the black book in his hand.

"You know it's too late!"

The man surnamed Hou suddenly turned into a shadow, quickly crossed a distance of several meters, jumped out suddenly, and rushed straight to Xu Shu's face.

Xu Shu's pupils shrank: "Shadow sneaking!"

This really is a "criminal".

The ability of 'Raging Folk' is quite obvious, being the basic signature ability of the 'Criminal' path, while the breakthrough skill is 'Shadow Stealth', both of which are very practical abilities.

Xu Shu had a deep impression of the "criminal", because he had been forced into a desperate situation by the extraordinary people of this path several times, and he knew very well that this was a first-level extraordinary person with very strong single combat ability.

Compared with myself, he has leapt into two major realms!

The man surnamed Hou looked at Xu Shu who was so close to him, and saw fear on his face, and he suddenly felt murderous.
Seeing him nervously clutching the black book, I was even happier.

The 'Shepherd' is not good at close combat. If you don't give him the chance to chant and cast spells, he will be dead!
After recognizing the other party's origins, the man surnamed Hou did not think of reconciliation.

He was cautious and followed the rules before because he was worried about being exposed, causing trouble and being blamed by his superiors, which he would not be able to bear.

But now that it has been exposed, we naturally have to cut the weeds and eradicate them to prevent future troubles.

Even if the other party has connections with the church, he must die here today.

As long as this pastor dies, everything will be over. No matter whose daughter that woman is, it will be useless. Everything will be completely buried by him.

boom--!
The man surnamed Hou aimed a punch at Xu Shu's head.

The blow was powerful and heavy, the strong man swung his sword at the stronger one, and the brave "criminal" was not afraid of difficulties and took the lead!
But Xu Shu didn't move.

"Die! Hahaha!"

The man surnamed Hou seemed to have seen in advance the scene of the other party's head being blown up by him. His eyes were full of ecstasy. He perfectly matched the characteristics of his profession and delivered the most perfect and satisfactory punch in his life.

Fist waves ride the wind and leap to the top!!!
——Suddenly, there was a click.

It was as if time had been paused.

Everything around suddenly became quiet.

Xu Shu patted the man surnamed Hou on the shoulder again and advised: "Stop fighting. You can't kill him like this. Communicate well and I will leave you a way out."

"Uh...eh?"

The Hou man's high and radical fighting spirit froze in a daze, and he looked around.

He found that the "shepherd" opposite him did not turn into a headless corpse, but was standing not far from him. He couldn't help but feel a little dazed and began to doubt himself.

Just now... was it an illusion?

Do “shepherds” have such ability?

Forget it, let’s take this opportunity and try again!
I just don't believe his ability can be used forever!

The man surnamed Hou decisively gave up thinking and roared, punching Xu Shu again: "No matter who you are...ah!"

He had only said half of the word "people" when he suddenly let out a shrill scream.

Because his fist failed to swing.

I didn't feel anything just now, but when I wanted to raise my hand, I found that my right arm was in great pain.

He glanced at his shoulder and found that the entire shoulder had almost collapsed, and the bones inside seemed to have shattered and inserted into the blood vessels. The whole arm turned purple and swollen.

"Ah? Did you use too much force? Sorry, I tried my best to restrain myself." Xu Shu felt very sorry when he saw this.

This was when he hit the other person's shoulder with his hand in order to prevent being hit in the face.

But it seemed that the strength was not well controlled, or the opponent was too weak.

"Sure enough, after I advanced, my strength increased, and my control was as good as ever, but I only considered myself and neglected the endurance of others!"

'Criminals have different physiques, so we can't generalize!'

Xu Shu, who almost slapped the enemy to death, reflected deeply on himself and felt a little scared.

I tried my best but still managed to seriously injure him. What a close call! This woman is just an ordinary person. She probably doesn't know who is behind this. If she slaps the criminal to death, wouldn't there be no evidence?
Xu Shu was terrified.

The man surnamed Hou cried out uncontrollably.

"No... When did this happen... How could this happen... He, he is definitely not a 'shepherd'! He must be at least a second-level master!"

He felt pain and fear. He carefully looked at the red scarf that Xu Shu used to cover his face, and at his female companion who was so scared that she was peeing.

The next second, the man surnamed Hou gritted his teeth, shrank his body, turned into a shadow and drilled into the ground.

Something was wrong and he was ready to run for his life!
But soon, the man surnamed Hou discovered the problem.

Although he successfully transformed into a "shadow", he was trapped on the ground and unable to move anywhere else because he was restricted by a ball of spider silk.

It was Xu Shu’s first-order curse breakthrough skill—“Black Widow Entanglement”!
"It was a close call. You almost ran away." Xu Shu squatted down with a smile.

If this "criminal" is in the shadow state and is determined to escape, he really has no way to deal with him.

After all, he couldn't detonate the "gaze" curse that had been cast on him when the two sides looked at each other just now, as that would definitely kill this first-level rookie directly.

"I'll count ten times. Either you come out on your own, or your stealth mode ends and I catch you. It's your choice. 1~2~..." Xu Shu began to count to the man surnamed Hou with a smile.

"Sir, please let me go. Ahhh, it was my fault that I didn't recognize a great man. I know I was wrong~" Upon hearing this, the man surnamed Hou collapsed immediately and burst into tears.

Xu Shu glared at him angrily: "Crying? Crying also counts as time! 3~4~..."

“……” The man surnamed Hou closed his mouth.

He completely understood that the gap between himself and the masked "shepherd" in front of him had reached an unimaginable level.

Without any hesitation, he immediately revealed his true form and was pinned to the ground by the spider web. His face was distorted with pain and despair, and he begged for mercy humbly: "Sir! Sir, please let me go. I didn't kill the man. It was this bitch who actually dared to offend you. Her whole family should be killed, and her ancestors for eighteen generations, Sir..."

Xu Shu slapped him lightly: "Stop talking nonsense and tell the truth. You are trafficking in people, and you dare to kill people and dump bodies in the town openly. Aren't you afraid that the local guards will find out?"

The man surnamed Hou pursed his lips immediately, his eyes rolling around as he said, "Sir, this, this I can't give you..."

"You don't want to tell me? So you want to die?" Xu Shu glared.

The man surnamed Hou said immediately: "I can't give you a few words of explanation! It's a long story. I am from the Resonance Society. My name is Hou Yong, and our boss is called Voodoo.

“He is in charge of the areas around Lanshoufang, Longjing Pavilion, Ponyoji, and Jinlizhuang, and he is the one who usually contacts the dealers!
"There are other people in charge of receiving and shipping goods. I know some of them, but I don't. I will explain them to you slowly, sir!"
