The rising sun shatters the darkness!

Chapter 409: Do one good deed a day, the method of containing the curse tool (asking for monthly tickets)
Jiang Biyun was dying. She was already seriously injured and had been poisoned by a vile poison. The double corrosion of her mind and body caused her vitality to gradually dissipate.

However, just when her life was about to fade away, she suddenly found that someone was whispering some very important secrets to her.

Because of the invasion of toxins, her mind was completely in a trance, half asleep and half awake, and only her sense of touch was amplified, while she could only vaguely remember the other person's voice.

The man seemed to be humming to the beat of some music:
“Lights~lights~lights~lights~lights~” “Lights~lights~lights~lights~lights~lights~” “This light is really big~”

Just like the surging waves, Jiang Biyun found that the toxins in her body were pushed to the edge under the scorching heat, and were eventually completely removed and consumed.

With a majestic voice, "May I ask where the road is? The road is under your feet", Jiang Biyun was shocked, her soul and body merged and separated, and Jiang Biyun finally woke up gradually.

Faintly, she saw a figure disappear from her sight.

"...Wait, wait a minute..." She wanted to shout, but her throat was in great pain, her lips turned outward, and she couldn't speak at all.

After waiting for about ten minutes, Jiang Biyun regained consciousness.

At this moment, it was like a little stray cat sleeping on the street at night, abandoned in a dilapidated factory.

He was covered with thick clothes to keep out the cold.

"I...I'm not dead?"

"Wait, my body..."

After surviving the disaster, she quickly recalled what happened before, hurriedly checked herself, and gradually her face turned red and warm.

Although she was fully clothed, her skirt was visibly wrinkled, and the ground looked like mud after a heavy rain, and she felt the kind of pain that, as a transcendent being, she could endure but could not ignore.

There is no doubt that someone had broken into the house while he was unconscious!

"Is that the guy?"

Jiang Biyun recalled the scenes before she fell into a coma. She remembered the man with the little loli riding on his neck and who crushed the "alchemist" Wang Bing to death with a slap. She remembered his tall top hat and the bright eyes under his mask.

After repeatedly comparing it with the figure that had just left, she confirmed that it was definitely this person.

"He... saved me? Why? Isn't he Voodoo, the leader of the Zanxiang Society?"

"No, maybe he is their enemy... Hehe, if I can just save my life by chance, what more can I ask for?"

Jiang Biyun shook her head helplessly. She just stood up, but her body suddenly went limp and she almost fell down.

She hurriedly lowered her head to check, and her face turned pale with fright.

It turned out that although the person who saved her had left, the traces he left behind still existed, just like a storyteller's story, reminding her bit by bit of everything that had happened not long ago.

"My innocence is ruined here, wuwu..."

"Even though you saved me, you should at least say something, right? Even if it's just a word of comfort..."

"But why... He didn't leave even a single word or message... I don't even know his name..."

Jiang Biyun hugged herself blankly, her body trembling slightly.

The other party's cold-blooded attitude of leaving directly after using, no, saving her, and not having any attachment to her at all was like a sharp knife that pierced her heart fiercely, making her feel extremely uncomfortable.

Even if he left a word!
In the end, there was no explanation at all.

The feeling of being treated as a rag and thrown away after use made Jiang Biyun more and more angry. She couldn't help but cover her face and cry and curse:
“Damn it! Damn it! How could you do this? How the hell could you do this?!”

Curses echoed in the empty factory ruins, but no one responded.

就像一只失魂落魄的，刚因为偷吃食物被人揍了一顿，逃下水道里独自舔舐伤口的老鼠。

After crying for a while, this woman who had always been righteous and awe-inspiring, gritted her teeth and swore secretly in her heart:

Wait for me!

Sooner or later, I will find you and repay you for saving my life!

No matter where in the world, I will find you!

As a "Demon Slayer General" who is good at playing with fire, there is no doubt that -

Of course, the life-saving grace must be repaid with blood and fire!
……

……

At midnight, in the safe zone.

Xu Shu walked out of the subway with bright eyes and head held high.

"Haha, I did another good deed today, sacrificing myself to save others! Moreover, I left in time before she woke up, saving her life and avoiding embarrassment, protecting the dignity of women. It's really killing two birds with one stone. I've considered everything, I'm worthy of being you!"

"I'm sure when she thinks back on it later, she will be deeply touched by my kindness, right?"

Although I did this, I couldn't get Jiang Biyun's thanks in person.

But Xu Shu feels that for a woman, life is of course important, but dignity is equally important.

Especially since we will be teammates in the future and fight against the ruins together, we have to keep this face.

"I will leave after my work is done, hiding my achievements and fame. Alas, this is me, the savior of the wasteland, saving people from suffering and doing good deeds every day!"

Xu Shu's face was filled with confidence, like a sage.

This caused several workers nearby who had just got off work to see this and they were all infected by the emotion.

They subconsciously straightened their backs, held their heads high, slammed their suitcases hard on the testing equipment, and almost shouted: "Check it quickly!"

"Are you crazy? Just queue up honestly!" The security staff were frightened and the entire security checkpoint suddenly became lively and cheerful.

After passing the underground security check, Xu Shu followed the familiar route all the way back to his home at Room 2A, Building 178, Lower City District, No. 88 Lanlingwangsi.

Coming out of the elevator, Xu Shu saw that the door of 88B opposite was decorated with lights and red couplets, as well as greetings such as "Welcome home, owner". It was obvious that a new user had moved in here.

"Tsk, they got rid of the pressure of the haunted house so quickly and found someone to take over? That's quite fast." Xu Shu smacked his lips, surprised.

Not long ago, the previous resident of this house was a living cultivator who was killed in his home by an extreme lunatic from the Resurrection Society in an extremely cruel manner.

At that time, people were worried that this place had become a haunted house, which would affect the living environment, and they were considering whether to move.

But now it seems that I was worrying too much.

There are simply too many residents in the city, and everyone is desperate for a better living environment.

In comparison, the feng shui taboos about living in a haunted house are nothing at all.

"Alas, even haunted houses can't suppress people's enthusiasm for buying houses. What the hell is this Penglai world..."

Xu Shu shook his head, lamenting that the world is becoming more corrupt and people’s hearts are no longer the same as they used to be.

He took out the key and just opened the door a crack, but before he could push it open, he saw a fat and fleshy orange cat rushing out from the corner and jumping into his arms.

“Swoosh~Swoosh~”

Alice sniffed up and down, then jumped down with a droopy face, muttering to herself with a look of despair: "Woo, woo ...

She talked to herself as she opened the door and walked in.

"Forehead……"

Xu Shu was stunned for a moment, thinking that the succubus was too awesome, she could even smell this?
I didn't do it for long, did I?
Besides, you're just a house cat, why do you care so much?
Although he said that, when Xu Shu thought about the scenes of Alice coming to ask him every day whether he had returned home during this period of time, he felt inexplicably guilty.

He took two steps forward, grabbed the orange cat by the scruff of the neck and lifted her up.

"What are you doing, meow? Are you going to commit domestic violence? I'm not afraid of you!" Alice suddenly got angry and grimaced.

There are so many dramas... Xu Shu muttered inwardly, and took out a blue crystal like a magician: "Okay, okay, this is a gift for you. It's your reward for watching the house this week."

"Alas?"

Alice looked closely and found an illusory "3" on the crystal.

She was satisfied. She held the crystal with her two front paws and licked it happily: "Wuhu! Xu Shu paid Alice. Xu Shu is great! Xu Shu made a fortune!"

"Ugh."

Xu Shu put her down, looked at the snobbish look of the orange cat, and couldn't help but sigh towards the ceiling.

The weekly salary of a "security guard" has reached 500 million, so my life can finally be considered rich...

In the evening, Xu Shu had a rare moment with his family.

Seeing these two adoptive parents who have not reached retirement age yet but have already started enjoying their retirement life in advance, I can clearly feel that they have become a little fatter after not seeing them for a few days.

On the one hand, the heart is happy and the body is fat. On the other hand, it is obvious that this is because the increase in appetite has also indirectly produced some effects, and the food is a bit too nutritious.

Wealth breeds people...

Although Xu Shu felt a little funny in his heart, he still remembered to remind them.

As a middle-aged or elderly person, you cannot overeat like me. You still have to pay attention to healthy eating.

His younger sister Zhou Shiyu was still in school and could only go home on weekends. Xu Shu went to her room next door and saw a few scattered "early" words written on the bedside table. It seemed that she was studying very hard.

That night.

Xu Shu continued to practice in the middle of the night. God rewards hard work, swallowing two crystals every night is the standard he set for himself, so he naturally cannot relax.

Relying on the recovery ability of "sit-ups", he continued to bleed in the bathroom, and could actually feel the erosion in his body further deepening.

Alice also climbed in through the window this time, found a comfortable position to lie on Xu Shu's abdomen, and stretched out an illusory bat tail, adding some status to Xu Shu to reduce his bleeding.

There is no time in cultivation, and a night passes in the blink of an eye.

Xu Shu slept with the cat in his arms all night, and after a period of hard work, his "Dragon Elephant" spell was finally upgraded again to level 7.

If one concentrates and observes himself, he will find that in the "▲"-shaped seal, mysterious blood-red runes are flickering on the surface of the seal, infecting every cell in his body and gradually deepening the impact.

As his level increased, Xu Shu could feel more and more clearly that as the spell factors became more mellow and rich, it became more difficult and dangerous to contain them.

“No wonder they say that the path of cultivation is like sailing against the current. If you don’t move forward, you will move backward.”

"This threat is like a sword hanging over your head. It not only comes from outside, but also from within yourself. It is equally terrifying."

"If you are not careful, your cursed power will go out of control, and you will die on the spot or even mutate into a monster."

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

"This is the practice of spell seals. Mystery and wonder coexist with madness and weirdness. Many things coexist..."

"If it weren't for the Ascension Drive to suppress the erosion, it would be impossible for humans to become extraordinary."

"Of course, if you practice the ancient method, the risk is obviously much smaller."

Every time at this time, Xu Shu could always feel how talented the person who created the spell-sealing practice method was. He could feel the powerful pioneering nature of the human race and felt proud of it.

If the ancient practice had not been completely abolished after the catastrophe, if people had not been forced into a desperate situation by those inexplicably descending evil gods and evil spirits, who would choose something as risky as the spell-sealing method?

The array is great, no need to say more.

At 5:30 in the morning, Xu Shu left Alice on the bed to look after the house, and took advantage of the dawn to travel along the elevated road.

Although there is also a lot of traffic, compared to the congestion in the lower city area, the No. 2 lower city area is much better, and it is not so crowded that people have to walk shoulder to shoulder.

When walking on the road, the distance between people can still be maintained at more than two meters. Such space brings a considerable sense of security.

As the towering star tower in front came into view, the viaducts that ran through the sky also made way for a huge space.

It is worth mentioning that even the Star Tower in Penglai District has its entrance on the ground and is not placed on the "horizon" defined by themselves.

This is probably one of the few buildings in Baiyujing that is exactly the same as other safe zones.

Because it was early, Xu Shu wore a mask worth 1 contribution point, which was actually an Aries but called "Dougong·Ugly Ox". He didn't have to queue up and successfully entered a "space capsule" in the hall inside the Star Tower.

He took out some of the spoils from his backpack, placed them neatly in front of him, and then thrust his hips forward to activate the upgraded drive.

Feeling the electric shock rushing through my body, a light screen condensed in front of my eyes:

-

[Tip: It is detected that you have multiple spell tools, scanning and matching is in progress...]

Alas?
Seeing the message pop up on the screen, Xu Shu raised his eyebrows slightly.

In the past two days, he had indeed obtained a batch of spell tools, ranging from Wu Liuzhi's "Copper Green Holy Grail" to the iron sticks just used by the elders of the Remnant Sound Society, the quality of which varied greatly.

But before, there was no such prompt for upgrading the driver.

Thinking of some of the rumors at the time, Xu Shu couldn't help but wonder, is it necessary to enter the Star Tower to put on the "cursed tool"?

While thinking, information appeared on the screen.

[Scan completed]

[Tip: 60 points of handling fee have been automatically deducted for your appraisal. ]

[Spell Tool: Copper Green Holy Grail (Flawless); Containment Conditions: 1. Use the Copper Green Holy Grail to hold specific corrosive items continuously, and after they are all transformed into 'Copper Green Holy Water', drink a cup completely, and then try to contain them; 2. Limited professions "Sewage Exhauster", "Demon·Nurgle", and "Yang Shen·Fu Shi" can be contained without ceremony. ]

[Spell Tool: Locking Qingqiu (Flawless); Containment Conditions: 1. Use this brush to copy the following calligraphy on the skin: "locking", "clear", "autumn", and tear off the skin after the handwriting dissolves. Feed the spell tool. After 2 words, you can try to contain it; . Limited to the profession "musician", you can be contained directly without ceremony (Note: it was called "scholar" in ancient times)]

-

After reading these two sentences, Xu Shu suddenly realized.

Then my eyes widened and I cursed in my heart, "What the hell?" The fee was deducted automatically. This is too much. I didn't even click the confirmation button!
Fortunately, it’s not much, 60 points, it seems to be 10 points each, fortunately, it’s not too expensive... Damn it! Xu Shu was thoughtful.

There is a concept of "equipment slots" for storing spell tools. This is information he already knew before. A first-level extraordinary person can only store one spell tool, and one more card slot can be added with each level increase.

But what he didn't know was that it turned out that containing the spell tool required a ritual. It could only be contained after completing the ritual, and there was no guarantee of success.

Moreover, different spells have their own special properties. Extraordinary people of specific professions can be directly taken in without going through rituals if they are compatible with the spell.

"So, does my profession also have cursed tools that can be directly contained?" Xu Shu was skeptical and read the rest of the appraisal content:

[Cursed Tool: Blood Pipe Gun (Excellent); Containment Conditions: Continuously use this cursed tool to smoke, and if the amount of nicotine ingested reaches 10 grams within one hour, you can be contained.]

[Cursed Tool: Ecstasy Whip (Excellent); Containment Conditions: Use this cursed tool to perform special activities with any human of the opposite sex for a total of 10 times, including: wax dripping, bondage, cleaning balls, etc. Afterwards, blend the other person's body fluids into the cursed tool. After liters, it can be contained. ]

[Spell Tool: Lawyer's Seal (Excellent); Conditions for Confinement: Use this spell tool to participate in case litigation, evidence collection, notarization, overturning the case and other activities, and the signature seal can be taken in when the number of people involved in the case reaches 100]

[Spell tool: Super male bamboo stick; Accommodation conditions: Wear straw sandals. Use this bamboo stick to perform 1000 ovariectomies on dogs of any breed (male or female) before you can take them in.]

-

Of these four spell tools, the first two come from the old man and young woman of the "Three Friends of Winter".

The "bamboo stick" that looked like an iron rod came from the "grandmaster" elder of the Can Xiang Society. Xu Shu forgot which elder it was.

As for the seal, it was left behind by the one who killed the "tendon-pulling Chen Long".

From this, Xu Shu realized that not all spell tools had the special feature of "specific professions can directly accept them without any ceremony".

The contrast is obvious. Only spell tools of at least [Flawless] level have the conditions to adapt to specific professions without rituals.

Those below the level of Flawless must go through rituals that appear weird, bloody, or perverted as a prerequisite for containing the spell.

Moreover, Xu Shu discovered that, in comparison, the containment conditions for the flawless curse tool were much more difficult.

And the 'Excellent' level containment conditions don't seem to be difficult?
"The Ecstasy Whip looks easy to obtain, but it is limited to the opposite sex of humans, so it's not suitable for me... I'm selling this."

"The lawyer's seal is obviously very professional. The only thing I can participate in is evidence collection, right? It seems that I can only sell it."

"This iron rod seems suitable for me. I just need a handy weapon... Uh, what's the meaning of "It doesn't matter if it's male or female"? Where did your male dog get ovaries? This ritual... doesn't seem proper, and it's too thin. It doesn't add much to my use. I'll just sell it."

"Well, after looking around, I found that only the pipe gun can be unlocked by smoking, which only requires 10 grams of nicotine per hour? It seems that most smokers smoke more than ten cigarettes a day, right? This condition should be the easiest to fulfill, right?" Xu Shu, who doesn't like smoking, thought so.

However, because this cursed tool obviously did not meet his requirements for the appearance of the weapon, he thought about it and decided to sell it.

After some thought, Xu Shu decided to sell the flawless spell tool 'Suo Qingqiu' and the other four excellent spell tools in exchange for resources.

In addition, the low-level crystal resources found in Wu Liuzhi's backpack, including the three purple crystals exploded by the demon girl Nanazawa Mia, would of course be more cost-effective to exchange them for money and then buy blue crystals again.

On the contrary, it was the [Copper Green Holy Grail], the cursed tool once used by Wu Liuzhi, that left a very strong impact on Xu Shu. Its terrible corrosive effect and lethality were very sufficient.

Therefore, Xu Shu plans to keep some of it and try to take it in; if taking it in fails, he will consider selling it.

Thinking of this, Xu Shu found Lao Gang from Pangu Machinery.

"Lao Gang, let's go big this time! Look at these." - Anonymous.

[An anonymous upload of a real-time item image]

"Brother, it's easy... Damn, you killed the whole family?" - Lao Gang from Pangu Machinery.

"Don't ask so many questions, just accept it or not." - Anonymous.

"receive!"

So, Xu Shu and Lao Gang talked about their biggest business to date.

After two hours of pleasant negotiations.

Xu Shu harvested 10 blue crystals and tens of thousands of contribution points and left the Star Tower.
