Chapter 382: The Secret of Wu Lao, the Truth Revealed ( Daily Tickets Requested)

"Huh? Why are you suddenly praising me like that?"

Shui Longyin suddenly became alert and stared at Xu Shu suspiciously.

Xu Shu chuckled and didn't explain.

He originally wanted to save himself the trouble and just start begging for sympathy. Shui Longyin would just pay him directly because he felt embarrassed.

But after careful consideration, he thought it would be better to follow the process of the expedition and bury Shui Longyin in the coffin for a while.

Some troubles cannot be avoided. Who knows if she will change her mind just because she is not buried? It is better to be safe.

Xu Shu reviewed his previous movements and expressions, and began to imitate himself meticulously.

"I'm going back to the safe zone today. I'll dig a hole for you. You just wait here for me to come back and don't walk around." Xu Shu cleared his throat and said.

Shui Longyin tilted his head slightly and looked around blankly: "Ah? Here?"

"Of course, it's not hard to understand for a jumping corpse like you to live in a mass grave."

Xu Shu didn't explain much. He walked forward and followed his memory into the mass grave in front.

There is an ancient building similar to a charity cemetery here, with four courtyards and a large scale. Judging from its structure, it might have been the ancestral temple of a wealthy family in the past. It fell into ruin during the catastrophe and was used by refugees in nearby shelters to temporarily bury their family members.

More than a decade later, the shelter was destroyed and this place was completely abandoned with no one coming here anymore.

Xu Shu looked around and saw only rusty fences, mold-covered walls, and messy weeds in the yard, making this old ancestral hall look desolate and quiet.

"Yes, it's a great place to hide people."

Xu Shu was familiar with the route and dug a hole in the ground in the corner on the left side of the yard.

He then picked out the largest empty coffin from the ancestral hall and placed it in.

In just a few moments, a brand new yet hidden tomb was built.

"Stop daydreaming and come in!" Xu Shu slapped the coffin lid and invited Shui Longyin to come over and sleep.

Shui Longyin jumped over, seeming to be somewhat disgusted by the fact that the coffin was covered with dust.

However, Xu Shu put her directly into the coffin and covered it carefully, doing everything meticulously.

Then he ran back to the entrance of the safe zone, sat outside the wall for more than an hour, and then immediately turned back.

In the journey, he pretended to enter the Star Tower to trade and bought a crystal.

But this time in reality, there was no need to worry about being attacked by the Star Tower, so Xu Shu really went back to the bottom of the Star Tower.

He found Pangu Machinery Lao Gang and sold all the 32 crystals he had hunted in the wilderness yesterday, earning 200 contribution points, and then spent 500 to buy a third-level crystal.

As a result, his contribution was reduced to a pitiful "10 points". Even when he took a plane, he could only go to the adjacent star tower and could not fly far.

Estimating that there were still two hours left before Shui Longyin would "support him", Xu Shu did not rush out of the city, but returned first to his home at Building 2, Lanlingwangsi, No. 178 Lower City District.

As soon as Xu Shu entered the room, the orange cat that was basking in the sun on the windowsill noticed him.

"Meow! Alice is guarding the house, Alice is good; Xu Shu doesn't come home at night, Xu Shu is bad!"

Alice rushed over and, while muttering angrily, she sniffed Xu Shu warily with her nostrils flaring.

After a moment, she frowned slightly and said, "Did you kill someone again? Why do you smell like a dead person and rotten vegetable leaves?"

Xu Shu was stunned when he heard this.

Needless to say, the source of the smell of death must be Shui Longyin. After all, she is now a strange "zombie".

But who brought the rotten leaves smell? Could it be the withered flower doll?
Tsk, the "succubus"'s nose is so sharp. She could smell that I had taken a thorough bath yesterday? This is much sharper than a dog's nose...

He secretly thought about it in his heart, but said with a generous look: "Hey, this crystal is for you, as a reward for watching over the house these few days. Next time, don't secretly go and exchange pearls with the bishop's portrait and accuse me of not taking good care of you."

Xu Shu waved his hand and handed over a third-order crystal without any formality. There were six erosion spirals circling inside, which was clear and translucent.

"Give it to me? I haven't finished eating the one you gave me last time. How can you be so generous? Are you lying to me..."

Alice stretched out her two furry paws suspiciously, hugged the fist-sized crystal, and gently took a few bites of it.

After a moment, the cat's tail suddenly stood up as if it had been electrocuted.

"Hmm? It actually seems to be real~" Alice widened her eyes, her eyes shining with surprise.

"Am I so unbearable in your heart?" Xu Shu rolled his eyes unhappily and said, "I've encountered some troubles these days, so I may not have time to come back."

"Oh, do you need meow's help?" Alice took out a small nail clipper, which was sharp and showed a sense of power.

"Forehead……"

Xu Shu looked at the kitten's sharp claws and muttered to himself.

He knew that Alice's nail clippers were not used to attack others, but to attack her own spine.

This is the "Cursed Blade", which can be used to cut the flesh at her tail vertebrae, allowing her to release her second-order signature ability "Falling in Love" and drill into her body, thus providing considerable protection and strength enhancement.

When Xu Shu was at the peak of the second stage, with Alice's support, he could fight against the early third stage extraordinary people, and he also had a good ability to protect himself when being hunted by the mid-stage Demon God's Chosen.

Now, he has broken through to the "Dragon Elephant" realm, and is no weaker than an average mid-third stage cultivator.

This is not Xu Shu bragging, but the truth.

Usually, if an excellent quality curser cultivates to the middle stage of the third stage, the total level is above level 44 (16+16+12).

Although Xu Shu is still in the early stage of the third level, the level of his curse has reached level 45, which is even one level higher than their middle stage.

With Alice's support at this time, Xu Shu even wanted to compete with those late-stage third-level players. As for the mid-stage players, he could even directly confront them and win the battle. This is the confidence that the legendary curse brings him!

"By the way, if Alice gets into my body, will she be detected by the Heart Fire Incense Burner? Can I take advantage of the loophole and bring her in with me when I enter the ruins without having to take up a team position?"

Xu Shu came up with a bold idea, but quickly gave it up.

'Falling in love' is an ability that can be acquired at the second stage of the "Nun" path. There are so many "fallen nuns" in the world. If they could take advantage of this loophole, they would have been studied thoroughly long ago.

He didn't think much about it and rejected Alice's kindness at the same time - "Not for now, I'll call you next time I need your help."

"Okay then, meow~" Alice didn't insist. She silently jumped from the window to the bed and watched Xu Shu go to the living room.

Xu Shu saw that the table was already filled with a rich meal of meat. He couldn't help but smile bitterly and said hello to his adoptive parents: "Dad, Mom, don't be busy. I'm going out. I won't be home for dinner these few days. Don't leave any extra food for me."

"Ah, you're back now, aren't you going to eat before leaving?" Mother Zhou took off her apron and suddenly looked unhappy.

"No, we're in a hurry, I'll take some." Xu Shu said. Seeing this, the middle-aged couple did not stop him, picked up a plastic bag, put two whole boiled chickens in it, and put five pounds of braised beef in it, and packed it up.

This amount is about one-third of Xu Shu's current daily meal. He left in such a hurry that he didn't have time to prepare it all.

"Ashu, you must be careful when you are alone outside. Come home early when you are done with your work." The middle-aged couple eagerly saw Xu Shu off to the door of his home.

They also knew that their adopted son was very powerful now, but they were not sure how powerful he was exactly. After all, they were just ordinary people, and there was nothing they could do to help Xu Shu now, so they could only give him a few words of advice.

"Yes, I will. No need to see me off." Xu Shu waved his hand, closed the door, and set off towards the southeast of the wasteland.

In an unnoticed corner, an orange cat poked its head out of the elevator window and watched Xu Shu get off the elevator.

She patted the crystals that had accumulated in her pocket with her paws and muttered softly:

"Xu Shu knows to give Alice food money, Xu Shu is also good!"

……

……

Xu Shu returned to Wulaozhuang near the wasteland coordinates (9, -7). To be more specific, there is a road sign leading into the mountain in Wulaozhuang, which is 91 kilometers east and 74.6 kilometers south.

This market town is surrounded by mountains. From a distance, it does not seem prosperous, but it is not too poor either. There are tall buildings in the center of the town, and rows of villages are arranged in an orderly manner on the periphery. There are a large number of mines on the mountains to the northeast.

The mass grave is located in the shade of the mountains southwest of the town.

This area is full of deep mountains and old forests, rugged rocks, overgrown trees, and a very steep terrain. It is a dangerous mountainous area where even professional climbers can easily get lost.

Of course, this would not be a problem for Xu Shu, a mid-sequence transcendent.

At 11:29:18 am, he stepped into the abandoned ancestral hall on the hillside that was used as a mass grave, precisely at the right time.

"Sister Yaoyao, I'm back!"

Xu Shu dug up Shui Longyin's small tomb and released her from the coffin.

After being locked up for the whole morning, Shuilongyin did not seem to be in any trouble.

For her, the top priority now is to recuperate, get through the period of weakness, and wait for her skills to recover. Usually, she just needs to maintain the general habits of a "zombie".

Sleeping in a coffin was obviously in line with the daily behavior of zombies, so she slept soundly and did not feel offended at all. She even thought that Xu Shu was disturbing her meditation.

Out of curiosity and politeness, Shui Longyin still asked Xu Shu: "What did you do in the city?"

coming!

Xu Shu, who pretended to be at ease burying the soil but had actually been secretly paying attention to Shui Longyin's words, finally waited for this crucial question and was immediately delighted.

"I have no money to practice, so I went to the city to sell everything I had and buy crystals for my daily practice..."

Green Tea Bunch repeated her own words and talked about her predicament of having no money.

However, compared to the journey, he had one more careful thought, and said with a wry smile:

"Hey, let's not talk about those embarrassing things. Sister Yaoyao, you said you wanted to maintain the habits of a zombie, so does that mean you have to eat chicken, duck, beef, etc.? So I went to buy some for you. I'm short of money so I can't buy too much. I'll bring you more next time."

As he spoke, he took out the fragrant boiled chicken and five pounds of braised beef he had brought from home and placed them on the oil paper bag spread out on the ground.

"???"

How could this guy be so poor?
Shui Longyin couldn't help but widen his eyes.

Looking at the shiny meat on the ground and the dusty Xu Shu, Shui Longyin's heart softened and his eyes flickered, as if he was remembering something from the past.

She quickly suppressed the fluctuations in her eyes, and instead patted her chest to assure him in a carefree manner: "Brother Xu Shu is thoughtful, but I was negligent. Haha, thank you for taking care of me during this period of time. From now on, I will take care of your cultivation resources!"

As he spoke, Shui Longyin generously took out a handful of blue erosion crystals, which were cut into thumb-sized pieces. However, there were so many of them that the total amounted to more than five pieces.

"Oh my god, is this true, godfather?" Xu Shu's eyes lit up. He never expected that he would get such an unexpected surprise just by adding a little bit of ingredients.

Clearly, they only gave three crystals the first time, but this time they gave five, which is double the amount.

If this is converted into equivalent gold, the value is close to 30 million. Shui Longyin took it out without blinking an eye. She is worthy of being the richest woman in Baiyujing and is generous.

Moreover, she even said, "Everything from now on is covered," which means that Xu Shu will have no worries about food and clothing for at least several more days of travel!
It has to be said that Shui Longyin is much more generous in "reality" than in "the journey". These two boiled chickens are really worth the money. He thinks that the favorability of this rich young lady should be improved a lot.

Although he was very happy in his heart, on the surface, Xu Shu pretended to refuse: "But I am a big eater. How can I feel comfortable taking so much from you..."

Shui Longyin was amused by his adoptive father: "Don't worry, with your current level of cultivation, how many crystals can you consume? Just practice as much as you want, and I will cover as much as you need."

"Then I won't be shy!"

Seeing this, Xu Shu stopped pretending and agreed, feeling very happy, without any shame of being "kept".

What is this? I provided protection and labor, and this is the reward I deserve.

While Shui Longyin was eating the chicken leg, Xu Shu came to the outside of the ancestral hall, cast his eyes under the overlapping clouds, towards the seemingly quiet mountain town, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

In the next few days, there will be no need to worry about resources for cultivation.

But of course he would not be easily satisfied. One must have foresight and not forget the long-term scarcity of resources because of short-term wealth. One must make long-term plans.

For example, now it has been confirmed that there are cultivators in this town who have gone astray and are suspected of using children to refine sublimation pills, which is simply lawless.

And the 'Conqueror King Yu Mingluan' has always rewarded the good and punished the evil. If he didn't know, it would be fine. But now that he knows that evil exists, how can he tolerate it? !
As for the crystals, money and so on from these living cultivators, they just went into their own pockets by the way, which were trivial matters not worth mentioning.

However, now that we have decided to bring evil to justice, we need to think carefully about it.

Judging from past experience, there is an 80% chance that the behind-the-scenes culprit causing trouble in this small town is the work of the local garrison group itself.

In other words, these criminal forces include several second-level fighters, thirty to fifty first-level transcendents, and hundreds of armed thieves.

Facing such a powerful opponent, Xu Shu believes that he must be cautious, find out the opponent's background in advance, and act accordingly!
"I can't help it. After all, the enemy is too strong. My strength is too far behind theirs. Even though I am good at fighting against opponents of higher levels, I can't act recklessly!"

The third-level "Dragon Elephant" Xu Shu confidently gathered his consciousness into a large branch, thrust it forward viciously, and poured it all into the Taichu Scroll in the void:

【You have started the journey mode. 】

[Detecting current status...]

【Testing completed! 】

[Your situation is not good. You are now outside a small town within the jurisdiction of Xiang Jian Huan Division. You initially speculate that there are living cultivators who eat people and are very dangerous. However, you know there are tigers in the mountains, but you still go there. With an evil smile, you decide to find out what's going on.]

[Xu Shu smiled, life and death are unpredictable! He was very rude to Taichu Juan, the great scumbag master, is also ready to go out and seek death today. ]

[The mountain here is steep, with steep cliffs. It is easy for ordinary people to climb up the mountain but difficult to go down. However, you are walking on flat ground. Relying on your strong body, you jump on the spot and fall three thousand feet straight down. It seems like a crane falling from the sky. You should move forward quickly.]

[In just a few minutes, you left the mountains and officially entered the territory of Wu Lao Zhuang.]

[This is a village that is quiet in the midst of prosperity, elegant in the midst of worldliness. There are many cars and people at the entrance. There is a poem on the road sign: A clear river flows around the village, and everything in the old mountain village is quiet. Two flying swallows come and go, and they are close to each other in the water. (Note 1)]

[This village is full of vitality. It is not like other small towns where old men and women come out to pick up garbage to eat. People walking on the road are all strong and energetic young people. There are many vendors on the roadside, some selling their products, or selling themselves. Everyone has a bright future. ]

[You have no time to take in the beautiful scenery of the town, and soon arrive at the center of the town and enter the "Haoyijia Hotel". ]

[After checking in, you can't wait to ask the hotel receptionist. ]

[“Hello, have you seen this person? Do you know where he is?” You took out a drawing board, on which was a young man with a distorted face and a sinister smile.]

[“Ah? This guy is a regular guest. He lives in room 217 next to the one you booked. He went out this morning and usually comes back in the evening.” The receptionist gave pretty good news. ]

[“Thank you!” You were about to chase out to look for her, but the receptionist stopped you and looked at her for a moment before she whispered, “By the way, sir, are you from another place?”]

[“Yes, I just passed by here, what happened?” you asked. ]

[“Oh, nothing special, just welcome to our town. Our hotel owner has set a rule. This is a brochure given to out-of-town customers. Please take a look.” The lady smiled shyly and took out a small booklet from under the counter and handed it to you. ]

[“Yes, OK.”]

[You respond casually and decide to go for a walk on the street. This person lives in the hotel for a long time, which means he works nearby on weekdays. He won’t be too far away, so there is hope that you can find him.]

[As you leave, you glance at the brochure in your hand. It briefly introduces the hotel's high-end facilities, first-class services, high prices, and special services. It is general and ordinary.]

[You are about to discard it, but in a hurry you see some incomprehensible sentences on the back of the brochure.]

[“Dear customer, in order to ensure that you can enjoy a good night, please abide by the two basic accommodation rules issued by the town——”]

【“1. After midnight, the hotel stops accepting guests. Guests who have checked in please do not leave your room. If necessary, you can use the pager in the room and the staff will come to provide service;

"If you don't call for service and someone knocks on your door, don't respond."

【“Second, there will be patrol officers checking the rooms at night in the town, and the patrol officers are all young men under 30 years old. They will show their work credentials when checking the rooms. Please feel free to open the door and cooperate with the work;
[If you see a woman or an elderly person wearing a patrol uniform, please do not respond and alert the staff via the pager in a timely manner. ”]

[“What the hell?” A big question mark popped up on your head, and you almost laughed out of anger. ]

[“Damn you, Mink, I paid to stay in a hotel and still have to be checked? And I’m not allowed to make loud noises in the room? What if I order your special services and the other party wants sex? You control this and that, why the hell don’t you just start a concentration camp?”]

[You laugh at the town's guard being brainless and the hotel owner losing his mind. ]

[And you are certain that there must be something fishy going on here. You don't let customers go out at night, probably because you are afraid that they will ruin their plan of secretly catching children to make elixirs. Your desire to punish evil becomes even stronger.]

[The whole town is quite harmonious. Whether rich or poor, male or female, they are all full of hope for life.]

[You took your little sister Tiaotiao with you, pretending to be a "special needs" cultivator, trying to lure the law enforcement, and asked around the town. ] [The wandering singers singing at the intersection, the prostitutes selling their bodies in the alleys, the boss lady buying groceries in the slums, the salesperson playing with dogs in the small drugstore... This afternoon, you asked a lot of people who were suspected of having dealings with these criminals. ]

【However, disappointingly, you were unable to obtain any information about the other party. 】

[“Strange, isn’t that guy a local? This shouldn’t be the case… He obviously noticed me and came to my house to sell me his medicine. What’s going on?”]

[You begin to doubt your own judgment and continue to search, but to no avail.]

[Time passes by, and as the sun is about to set, you have no choice but to return to the hotel and go back to your room.]

[Just then, a sinister voice came from the side: "Hey, man, I just saw you bring a female zombie in. Are you a living cultivator? I want some good stuff..."]

[“I’ve been waiting for you!” Your eyes light up. Without waiting for the tall, thin man with a twisted face to finish, you grab his neck and ask in the last few seconds of the day, “Where do you live during the day? Tell me! If you don’t, you’ll die! Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry——!”]

[The man’s face becomes even more distorted with pain: “Let go… You’re so brave, you know I’m…”]

[Before I could finish my words, the sun had already set. This journey is over. Settlement in progress...]

Grass!
Are you kidding me? I can’t even find this guy. Where did he come from?
Xu Shu cursed in annoyance, and in front of him was the shaking Taichu Volume.

Looking at the words above, the anger on Xu Shu's face froze for a moment.

[Evaluation: You have searched for her everywhere, but you still don't know where she is. Today, you keep searching for the man-eating cultivator, but you still can't find her. Since you have wasted a day of your life, I will call you Xu Tiansheng, but your efforts are not completely in vain.]

[You get the item: Missing Person Notice (Excellent)]

[Missing Person Notice (Excellent): A very special missing person notice. After using it, it will summon a special voodoo doll. Wrap the hair, nails, etc. of the target to be tracked on it. The doll will automatically track the target for you and bring the target back directly within a certain distance. Note: If the target's strength is higher than the second-level excellent level, the effect will be greatly weakened. ]

[Number of times opened today: 1/3]

Following the prompt, a doll icon with a rather evil appearance and a mocking smile appeared in the item column of the Taichu Volume.

"It's actually a missing person notice... Is this a search through witchcraft?"

Xu Shu looked at it carefully.

Although I used up one chance, at least I got something useful, which shows that the time I spent searching during the journey was not wasted.

The evaluation and rewards given by the Taichu Volume will be in line with his main actions during the journey.

If you lie down the whole time or do something else, the prop you get will definitely not be this.

Xu Shu had personally come into contact with the man who sold the sublimation pills, and knew that although this guy had participated in the evil deeds of the living cultivators, he himself did not have extraordinary cultivation, and the "Missing Doll" could be 100% effective.

"Well, let's do it again and find them out completely. We should try to catch them all in the daytime!"

Xu Shu clapped his hands and smiled, making up his mind.

"Um... Hey, Brother Xu Shu." Shui Longyin couldn't help but pat Xu Shu on the shoulder and asked curiously, "You have been mumbling to yourself from the beginning until now. Are you doing some kind of performance art?"

Xu Shu pushed her hand away and said with a carefree smile: "Don't make noise, I'm going to start it..."

As soon as he finished speaking, everything in front of him, including Shui Longyin, seemed to have stopped in time. The whole world was covered with a layer of light mist, and then began to move rapidly again like a revolving lantern.

[Detecting current status...]

【Testing completed! 】

[Your situation is not good. Today you appeared at Xiang Jian Huan...]

【“Skip.” You calmly took a step forward. 】

[Shui Longyin behind him asked, "What to start?"]

[“Of course, I will activate my detective ability!”]

[You laughed and said nothing more. You had already made up your mind to expel all the cultivators who were bullying the people here. No one should be left alive!]

[You head towards the foot of the mountain ahead and soon arrive at "A Good Hotel" and book rooms 215 and 213.]

[You put Shui Longyin in place, and then you transformed yourself into a man with nine on his back and one on his back, and quietly passed through the wall and entered the next room, Room 217.]

[This is the room that belongs to that young man, who is suspected to be a low-level member of the Huo Xiu Organization.]

[As soon as you enter the house, you see instant noodle buckets all over the floor. The room is filled with a sour smell, coming from the long-unwashed socks piled up in the corner; the floor is full of lumps of paper towels that smell like fermented paste, and the bed is littered with all kinds of original women's underwear. It is worth mentioning that these ominous omens are all oversized. ]

[In addition, there are some snapshots in the bedside table. They look quite old. The photos are of an old man in good spirits, smiling toothlessly in a pavilion on the top of a mountain.]

[“Damn it, could it be that he also likes this old man? Why is his taste so strong?” You were almost vomiting from the fumes, but with your strong willpower, you found some hair on the pillow, picked up some nails on the ground, and quickly left this disgustingly dirty place.]

[“Now it’s your turn to perform!”]

[You used the prop "Missing Person Notice (Excellent)", and with a sizzling sound, the hair and nails embedded into the fingers and head of the voodoo doll. It moved and raised its middle finger to you in a lifelike manner.]

[——Before you flatten it, the voodoo doll's middle finger sways in the wind, swinging back and forth, and soon points to the north, and flies out of the window. ]

[You follow closely without saying anything.]

[You walked through the buildings and the alleys, and soon you were far away from the center of the town and came to a small riverside village. Rows of stilt houses were stacked horizontally and vertically, and the clothes hanging out to dry fluttered like flags.]

[The shore is even more lively, with people coming and going, shouting and hawking, and young strong laborers with bare chests, shouting slogans, and doing hard labor.]

[In the shallow riverbed, an excavator was constantly digging out yellow sand and pulling it to a field nearby for manual selection. It looked like a sand mining workshop.]

[Just then, a wailing sound was heard not far away, and a tall, thin figure suddenly broke out of the window of the house and flew backwards uncontrollably, as if there was an invisible presence dragging him by the collar.]

[It's your voodoo doll! It successfully found its target and dragged it towards you.]

[“Ah~ Help! Someone come save me, go ask Steward Zu, save me, save me!”]

[The tall and thin man struggled hard, but could not break free. He screamed like a slaughtered pig and was dragged into the woods.]

[Someone nearby looked at each other in bewilderment. In the room where the tall and thin man had been, there was a middle-aged woman holding her young son, standing there at a loss. After a while, someone nearby chased after him to an office somewhere in the sand mining site, shouting and yelling, presumably to call for help.]

[When you saw this scene, you didn't intend to stop them, but to weigh their true level. At this time, the tall and thin man had already fallen into your control. You tied him up with spider silk and hung him upside down on a crooked tree.]

[“Who are you? I’m a medical representative of Qiangsheng Group. Why are you arresting me? Aren’t you afraid that I will sue you?” The tall and thin man shouted in a timid tone. He didn’t understand what the thin wire mesh that bound him was.]

[“Qiangsheng Group? Medical representatives? Is this the cannibalistic organization? Well, well, they actually dared to set up a group and openly sell children. They are just like the Sheling Villa in Xinglong Town. These guys are destined to die!”]

[You immediately knew what was going on. You looked at the man and sneered, "Killing children to make medicine, huh? Tell me who's behind you. If you can explain it clearly, I can let you go."]

[You are about to get more information out of you, but the tall and thin man shows a seductive expression after hearing it.]

[“What are you talking about? You got the wrong person. We are making anti-aging drugs!” he argued.]

[“Anti-aging medicine? You bought a child to use as a medicine inducer, right?” You sneered and said nothing. ]

[The man said: "What do you mean by using children as medicine inducers? What are you talking about? I am only here to look for customers. We only sell products to potential customers over the age of 50. Children don't buy, so why bring them home? Let me go, you caught the wrong person, you can't do this, you can't do this~"]

[“You still dare to quibble and refuse to tell the truth. You are so stubborn!”]

[You grabbed him and broke his shoulders, hands, feet, and other bones. His screams echoed throughout the grove, but the man insisted that you had caught the wrong person.]

[After a while, the sound of rustling footsteps was heard, and a tall, square-faced man in a suit and leather shoes arrived at the scene with several armed men.]

[As soon as they saw the scene, several people pointed their guns at you, but did not attack you directly. ]

[The square-faced man looks righteous and asks you seriously: "I am the captain of the 7th squadron of the Wu Lao Zhuang Guard, Zu Wandai. Who are you? Why do you want to arrest Manager Cui of Qiangsheng Group?"]

[You know the wasteland in Penglai. The basic garrison teams in various places use the same configuration as the Astronomical Society patrol team, 1 first-order extraordinary person + 11 soldiers, but their functions are more like guards, so there will actually be multiple first-orders carrying out tasks together. ]

[From what he said, it seems that he is not very aware of the tall and thin man's kidnapping of children. You can't help but feel a little surprised.]

[Could it be that the local garrison and the living repair organization are not in the same boat? ]

[You think this possibility is not high, unless they are blind. It is more likely that these people are deliberately acting to deceive you, a foreigner. You are indeed brave and resourceful! ]

【But is this really the case? 】

[You roll your eyes and think that this group of people in front of you might be a breakthrough point, saving you the trouble of torture, so you just go down the hill:

"So this is the local detention center. You've come just in time. I'm Gu Shiqian, an intermediate prosecutor at the Judgment Department. I've received a report that the Qiangsheng Group here has committed crimes such as kidnapping children, killing people, and refining medicine. Do you know about this?"

【? 】

[I am touched that you came all the way to Penglai to help spread the reputation of the Gu family. If he knew about this, he would kneel on the ground to thank you.]

[But the head of the Gu family is obviously a senior prosecutor, why did you forcibly lower his rank? ]

[However, your teacher is Gu Pan, and as her only enrolled student, there seems to be nothing wrong with you doing this.]

[Anyway, as soon as you said this, all the soldiers on guard were shocked.]

[“What?” “Is there such a thing?” “That’s impossible. Mr. Wu of Qiangsheng Group is the largest pharmaceutical company and philanthropist in our area. How could he do such a thing?” “My father had a rejuvenation surgery at Qiangsheng Pharmaceutical a while ago. He immediately became full of energy and his Alzheimer’s disease was gone. That’s impossible!”]

[They discussed it one by one, and none of them seemed to believe that Qiangsheng Group would do anything against the law. They were very emotional.]

Zu Wandai's expression changed slightly as he asked, "So it's Brother Gu from the Astronomy Society! Do you have any evidence for what you said?"

[“Evidence? Aren’t the lost children in your village and the many missing children in the town evidence?” You sneered mercilessly. ]

[When this was said, everyone was stunned, and then they asked you in confusion:]

[“Captain Gu, you must have made a mistake, right?” “There are no children missing in the village.” “There aren’t many cases of missing children in a small town in a year, right?” “That’s right, brother, did you make a mistake?”]

They look at you strangely.

[You also look at them with strange eyes. ]

[You are suspicious of each other, doubt each other, and no one trusts anyone else. ]

[So, Zu Wandai took the initiative to suggest: "Brother Gu, I think this matter is quite strange. We have never heard of what you said. The public security situation in Wu Lao Zhuang has always been very good, and there have been almost no missing persons or murders!

"But what you said is of great importance. How about this? You follow me and report to Lord Xiang, the governor, and let him make the judgment. What do you think?"

[He spoke in a very logical manner, like a rare wise man.]

[Although you still think they are trying to lure the enemy deeper, this is exactly what you want. ]

[“That’s fine!” You nodded and agreed.]

[After reaching an agreement, you immediately set off, escorting the pharmaceutical manager of Qiangsheng Group to the Wulaozhuang Town Guard Station, met the local guard, and asked.]

[After Zu Wandai's report and your display of tier 2 cultivation, Xiang Wendao immediately told you that he had not heard of what you said, but he would definitely investigate Qiangsheng. However, if this is true and Qiangsheng Group secretly violated the law, he would definitely bring them to justice.]

[In order to prove his attitude, he called up all the men in front of you. The three second-level garrison officers of Wu Lao Zhuang were all present, leading ten guard captains and dozens of guard soldiers to the most magnificent building in the town - Qiangsheng Group.]

[“Slander, pure slander! Someone must have thrown dirty water on me! Manager Xiang, Manager Qu, Manager Zuo, you know me. We at Qiangsheng Group have been committed to researching youth health care drugs. We are conscientious and abide by the law. We will never do something illegal like this! You must explain it clearly to Officer Gu from the Judgment Department and give me a clear name!”]

[Wu Tian, ​​the big boss of Qiangsheng Group, personally received you. Regarding your accusation, Boss Wu shouted that it was unjust.]

[He said that his company is absolutely clean and can withstand investigation, and he has no mortal enemies with evil.]

[“Boss Wu, there’s no need to say these polite words. I heard that you have a research and development laboratory that you have newly built at a huge cost. Haha, why don’t you take us on a tour?” Another second-level garrison officer, Qu Dahai, suggested.]

[“We are conducting top-secret research. Logically, we cannot let you know. However, in order to prove my innocence, I have to make an exception. I just ask you to keep it a secret for us!” Wu Tian did not refuse.]

[You soon arrived at the top floor of the building, passed through the layers of password doors along the way, and passed through a laboratory that looked quite technological. ]

[There are many researchers wearing white work clothes here, and advanced instruments that look like space capsules are scattered everywhere. From time to time, you can see giant eel-like monsters soaking in nutrient solution. They look advanced and mysterious.]

[After walking around, you didn't find any evidence of feeding monsters with living people. Instead, the high-tech feel of the scene was jaw-dropping. Everything seemed to indicate that you were wrong. Qiangsheng Group is innocent.]

[The soldiers at the garrison have already started whispering to each other, looking at your back with suspicion.]

[The three garrison officers were relatively patient, and the truth of the matter has not yet been fully revealed.]

[The only female guard, Zuo Lengxin, was even more outspoken. She hugged her towering chest and said coldly, "Everything will be determined only when we get to the laboratory raw material base."]

[Boss Wu saw this and did not refute. He nodded and said, "If the superiors want to investigate, I will naturally cooperate. Come in with me."]

[As you were talking, you finally passed through the tunnel-like corridor and arrived at your destination, the raw material warehouse of the research laboratory.]

[It was quite dark inside, and it was difficult to see anything. All I could see were some huge cabins and containers. From time to time, bubbling sounds could be heard from inside. It seemed that some huge living monsters were soaked there as "materials."]

[“Prosecutor Gu, please watch carefully!”]

[“Hahahaha!” “He actually believed it!” “Send him to paradise!”]

[As soon as they entered the warehouse, the shockingly heavy protective door suddenly fell down, and the originally peaceful crowd suddenly burst into crazy laughter. ]

[This includes the "researchers" and guards of the Qiangsheng Group, as well as the three directors and guards of the garrison.]

【Kua, kua, kua! The dazzling lights came on, and the huge warehouse was as bright as day. Inside those huge nutrient tanks were human bodies, one after another. They were old, with wrinkled skin, and were full of tubes and connected to giant white eggs!】

[“Commander Gu, blame yourself for discovering too many things. Just stay here today!” Everyone surrounded you with crazy and distorted faces.]

[Oh no! You've been fooled! These people are really in cahoots with each other. They tricked you into coming here and trapped you. You can't escape even if you have wings. You're going to be caught in a jar!]

【Seeing this scene of the dragnet, the corners of your mouth finally curled up uncontrollably. 】

[How could such a high-tech super company be located in a wasteland? Sure enough, there is a problem! Everything is just as you expected at the beginning. You have never been fooled. This is the moment you have been waiting for! ]

[“So, is everyone here?”]

[Amidst the earth-shattering laughter, you threw off your coat as you wished, and the aura of an ancient beast burst out without restraint - the third level of cultivation! ]

[“Come, let me see how good you are!” You waved your hand domineeringly and grabbed Zuo Lengxin, the guard with the best acting skills.]

[“No, sir, spare my life——bang!”]

[Before she could even let out a full scream, the plump and attractive Zuo Zhenshou was directly crushed into pieces by you, with pieces all over the place.]

[Seeing that the leader of the second tier couldn't even withstand a slap from you, everyone was frightened to the point of going crazy. ]

[“No, impossible!” “Level 3! He’s actually level 3!” “We’ve fallen into a trap, retreat quickly, everyone retreat quickly!” “Open the door! Quickly ask the people outside to open the door!!”]

[In the warehouse, there were ghosts howling and wolves howling, and bursts of screams of fear broke out. Everyone banged on the iron-clad door, trying to escape from here.]

[Catching a turtle in a jar? No, this is inviting a wolf into the house. 】

[Awake, time to hunt! ]

[A group of first- and second-level enemies and you, a third-level extraordinary being, are trapped in a closed space. This will be a one-sided massacre! ]

[Halfway through the feast, two voices suddenly rang out.]

[“I go up to the west tower alone without saying a word. The moon is like a hook. The lonely Wutong abyss locks the autumn! It’s so hard. It’s hard to meet and hard to leave!” A hoarse and deep male voice. ]

[“It’s actually a ‘Dragon Elephant’, with such vigorous blood and energy. It’s just right to offer it to the Saint, and you’ll get a rich reward! Hehehe~” A charming female voice. ]

[Two figures suddenly appeared from the darkness, surrounding you from the left and right. ]

[“?” You frowned, looked to the left, and saw a pale-faced scholar; looked to the right, and saw a beauty with horns on her head and breasts bigger than watermelons. ]

[Your eyes meet for a moment, and they look at you carefully, as if they were looking at a piece of high-quality prey.]

[Oh, you went deep into the enemy territory alone and achieved outstanding results! You attracted the top combat power here! ]

[The man is the director of this place, 'Xiang Jian Huan', and the woman is a strange servant of a special existence, a third-level demon commander! ]

[You face the abyss, the abyss is here, you cannot leave this place. ]

[The strong wield their swords against the stronger ones. It's time to start a big fight! Let's fight! ]
