The packages were full of congratulations and invitations from some wealthy people in various streets of the Heiguang District. These wealthy people were well-informed, and what they did on a daily basis were sometimes shady things, especially those that had contact with the market.
After learning that the Xumi Bureau had a new captain, they all planned to seek asylum.
After Xu Shen counted the money, he found that the gifts alone amounted to over a million.
The treatment of a captain is much higher than that of other team members. He is considered to be a person who can truly step into the celebrity level. His words carry weight in the Xumi Bureau, and naturally he will be respected by others outside.
Seeing the various dinner invitations on the letterhead, Xu Shen felt a bit troubled. Although there was nothing wrong with eating, it would take up too much time for him.
Moreover, alcohol and sex can make people addicted and affect the speed of drawing the sword.
"There is a lack of people and confidants around them. No wonder those big shots have subordinates around them. Not only do they look powerful, but they also make things easier." Xu Shen couldn't help but think of cultivating some people to do things.
It took him hours just to count the gifts, which was too much trouble.
However, Xu Shen searched his mind for some trustworthy figures, but could not find many.
If Su Shuang didn't go to the inner city, perhaps he could ask her to do things for him after retirement , but everyone has their own ambitions, and it would be difficult for him to keep her if she didn't want to stay in the outer city.
"Deng Feng? No, that guy is too impatient and not suitable for this kind of thing. Big Lily is very familiar with this and can handle all kinds of situations, more handy than I am, but... she is a member of the guild. Such a person probably already has a loyal leader, so I can't trust her..."
Xu Shen frowned and thought, Mo Xiaoxiao? If she went to the dinner party instead of him, she would probably overturn the table.
Who else?
Xu Shen suddenly realized that he was so busy practicing that he had too few acquaintances around him.
Boom boom!
There was a knock on the door.
Xu Shen quickly collected all the gifts on the bed and threw them into the closet.
There are few clothes in the closet, but it is filled with gifts.
"who?"
"Me." A female voice came from outside: "Captain Xu, there's news from the bureau that we have a mission to go on. Do you want to join us?"
"Come in."
The door was opened, and Xu Shen saw that it was Xia Jingxiang outside the door and asked, "What level of incident is this?"
"A Class C incident, judging from the intelligence, is a single incident." Xia Jingxiang did not look around the room, but just lowered her head slightly and reported calmly.
Compared with her previous fighting and sharp style in the training camp, her temperament has changed now. She has become more introverted and calm, less flamboyant and more masculine and steady.
"Then let's go together ." Xu Shen stood up.
Xia Jingxiang saw the combat uniform on Xu Shen and asked, "Did Captain Xu know about the mission?"
"No, the bureau won't specifically notify me of such a small mission."
A small task... Xia Jingxiang's mouth twitched slightly. To Xu Shen now, a C-level task might really be considered a small task, but for them, there was still the possibility of accidents.
"Captain Xu seems to be wearing combat uniform all the time."
Xia Jingxiang stepped aside at the door and waited for Xu Shen to walk in front before following him.
"Well, because we may encounter ruins outside at any time, it's very dangerous." Xu Shen said.
Xia Jingxiang's eyes moved slightly. She knew this, but it was difficult to keep wearing combat uniform in a comfortable environment. After all, combat uniform was too tight and very uncomfortable to wear often.
When he went downstairs, Xu Shen saw Gu Qiufeng and the others were already waiting on the first floor, and they were quite enthusiastic.
"Captain Xu!"
When they saw Xu Shen, several people called out to him, showing great respect, and no one acted like a veteran team member.
Gu Qiufeng was saved by Xu Shen, and his gratitude towards Xu Shen comes from the heart. Luo Hua is a person with high emotional intelligence. Although Xu Shen joined the team late, he has now made a breakthrough and is incomparable to them, so they will not continue to call Xu Shen by his name.
After all, status nourishes one. Even if Xu Shen would not feel strange in the short term, when people around him were respectful to him, calling him by his real name might be irritating.
Luo Hua is well aware of this, which is why he is able to get along well with everyone in the bureau.
You should behave according to your position, never be high-profile or make random conversations.
"Captain Xu, are you going too?" Ye Shou was a little surprised to see Xu Shen coming downstairs, and said, "We can handle this mission with just a few of us. If you go, it would be a bit of an overkill."
Xu Shen smiled and said, "I just wanted to discuss this with you guys. I plan to ask the director to assign more incidents to us. Unless they are D-level incidents, I will participate. What do you think?"
Several people looked at Xu Shen in confusion. With Xu Shen's status, he didn't need to complete tasks frequently to seek credit, right?
After all, Xu Shen’s position has almost reached its limit. If he goes any higher, he will be sitting on the director’s lap.
"Do you want to help us accumulate merit quickly?" Xia Jingxiang asked with a flash in his eyes.
Several people were stunned, and a warm feeling surged in their hearts. Only this reason could explain it.
"That's one reason, but I also have my own reasons." Xu Shen smiled and said, "I just want to contribute more to the bureau. If you don't mind, I may have to work hard in the next few months, and I won't have many days off."
"No problem. With Captain Xu leading the way, this is free credit, and we couldn't ask for more." Ye Shou said with a smile.
Gu Qiufeng also smiled and said, "Whatever you say, I have no objection."
"Thank you very much, Captain Xu." Luo Hua expressed his gratitude.
Seeing that they all had no objection, Xu Shen smiled and said, "Then it's decided."
Then came the preparations before departure. After they were dressed neatly, they set off. Luo Hua was thoughtful and took the map to give directions. Ye Shou and Gu Qiufeng were both the ones who were taken care of in the team, so they did not show any reaction and just followed the instructions.
As for Xia Jingxiang, she is a potential stock who is undergoing further studies and has a similar status to Xu Shen. She is a key target of special attention.
Xu Shen found that he had unknowingly become a big tree. He no longer relied on others, but there were people who needed his protection.
It’s a pity that I can’t help Sister Li… A deep look flashed across Xu Shen’s eyes.
The vehicle quickly arrived at the scene of the riot in the market.
In an orphanage on a remote road.
…
…
The orphanage serves meals on time every day.
It's 8 o'clock this evening, but the dinner bell has not yet rung.
At 10 o'clock, when I crawled out of the room hungry, I saw an empty corridor without a single person.
…
We started dinner early again tonight.
We arrived at the cafeteria at 5 o'clock, and under the command of grandma, we finished our meal quickly.
I suddenly noticed that my roommates Xiaoyuan and Xiaoping were not there.
I asked my mother.
Grandma said they were sick and were seeing a doctor.
After we finished eating, grandma took us to a dark room.
This place was strange, I was scared, and it was pitch black in there.
I suddenly remembered that before Xiao Yuan and Xiao Ping got sick, they always liked to stay in the dormitory and were severely scolded by their mother...
…
…
The vehicle was parked outside the orphanage.
The surrounding area looks rather desolate.
Without Xu Shen's instructions, Gu Qiufeng had already taken out the ruins-destroying device from the trunk of the car and set it up around it.
"Enter."
After the ruins-breaking device was activated, Xu Shen gave an order and was the first to escape into the ruins.
Gu Qiufeng and the others followed in one after another.
"Are there any survivors?"
"Yes, this fish doesn't seem to have a good appetite. Many survivors have been rescued." Luo Hua said.
Xu Shen's figure passed through the real wall and entered the orphanage.
It was silent inside. There was no one in the rooms where the children lived. The entire orphanage seemed to have been emptied.
In some dormitories, Xu Shen saw some bloodstains on the ground.
There is also hair that has not been eaten.
The gray and white walls are extremely monotonous, except for the Braille characters written by the blind at the door, which are the daily schedule of the orphanage.
You must strictly adhere to the time for getting up, eating, and going to bed.
"It's better for the Wu people. They can go to bed at 8 o'clock. For us, 8 o'clock is just the beginning of our nightlife..." Gu Qiufeng said with a chuckle when he saw the schedule on the wall.
"There seems to be the logo of the Wugong Mutual Aid Association at the door. This should be an orphanage invested and supported by the Wugong Mutual Aid Association." Xia Jingxiang said.
"With such a big incident, won't they send the Ruins Slayer to solve it?"
Ye Shou asked doubtfully, "Is this considered their industry?"
"Maybe they want to keep their people to do other things. They are not interested in such a small profit." Gu Qiufeng curled his lips.
"It should be the group from Xudong who got them hurt. When they came back, I saw that only half of the people from the Wugong Mutual Aid Association returned." Luo Hua was meticulous and had paid attention .
Xu Shen nodded slightly. He also noticed this. Although some people made money during the trip to , some people also lost money.
"Where is this Xu hiding? Do you want me to call him?" Gu Qiufeng looked around. With Xu Shen by his side, he became bolder and wanted to create some noise to lure Xu out.
Luo Hua looked at Xu Shen. If Xu Shen was not there, he would not recommend doing this, but with Xu Shen in charge, everything would be much more convenient.
"I have seen it."
Xu Shen's gaze was fixed towards a bedroom.
There was crawling a huge toad-like beast, two or three meters tall and fat. From a distance it looked like a toad, but from a closer look it turned out to be an extremely fat man.
When Xu Shen saw the other party, Ci Xu also noticed them and immediately revealed a ferocious expression.
"You guys go and train." Xu Shen did not do it himself, but gave them the opportunity to hone their skills and accumulate combat experience.
"Uh, where?"
When several people heard Xu Shen's words, they looked in the direction he was looking, but their faces were filled with confusion.
Xu Shen was slightly startled, his expression changed, and he said in a low voice: "Back off!"
Several people thought of the same terrible situation, their faces suddenly changed, and they quickly retreated more than ten meters away.
With a whoosh, the toad-like man bounced towards him.
Xu Shen frowned and remained motionless.
"Come into daddy's arms..." The toad-like man smiled, but he looked extremely ferocious.
Xu Shen suddenly exploded the moment it approached.
bass!
A sword slashed out.
With a buzzing sound, the sword blade made a sonic boom!
With a bang, the toad-like man's body suddenly exploded and was cut into two halves on the spot!
Blood and internal organs were scattered all over the ground. As his body was torn apart, the ground behind him was also impacted by the force of the universe, leaving a deep mark, like a sword energy flowing across the ground.
Such power made the people behind stunned and dumbfounded.
Is this the second form?
Xu Shen looked at the corpse on the ground, which was cracked and twitching slightly. His expression changed slightly. It really wasn't a B-level...
The speed and momentum of the toad's attack made him feel something was wrong. It was not like a B-level toad, which made his hair stand on end.
However, based on the principle of being cautious, he still chose to go all out.
After all, if it is a cunning Xu who can hide his strength, we will be in trouble.
It turns out that the other party was not pretending...
"Didn't you see this Xu just now?" Xu Shen swung his sword, cut off half of the Xu's head which had already split into two halves on the ground, then he put away his sword and stepped back, saying to several people.
"without."
Several people looked at each other. When Xu was hacked by Xu Shen and appeared, they didn't see any trace of Xu.
Xu Shen raised his eyebrows slightly. It seemed that this Xu also had some abilities leaked out, which should be some kind of camouflage ability.
"Forget it, let's collect the bodies. Qiu Feng, you go find some survivors nearby to see if there are any left." Xu Shen shook his head.
"good."
Several people divided the work and handled the scene quickly.
Not long after, Gu Qiufeng found some orphans hiding in a small house outside the orphanage.
Luo Hua contacted the logistics department in the bureau and reported the situation.
Not long after, a vehicle from the Inspection Office arrived and took all the orphans away.
These orphans are all fog dwellers. They have not opened their eyes and have not seen the appearance of Xu. Therefore, although they are involved in the Xu incident, they are not deeply involved. They will be carefully interrogated and investigated when they are brought to the Inspection Office. If anyone realizes the existence of some extraordinary phenomena, they will need to open their eyes and serve in the Xu Secret Bureau.
If it is believed that some kind of disaster has occurred, the child will be transferred to another orphanage and return to his or her original life.
Of course, there will still be follow-up observations for several months.
The captain of the guards in the inspection hall trotted over to Xu Shen and the others, took out a bunch of expensive cigarettes from his other pocket that he usually didn't want to smoke, handed one to each of them, and asked if they had any instructions.
Xu Shen didn't take the cigarette, but simply explained that ruins would attract ruins, and the lingering smell here would most likely attract other D-level or E-level ruins to wander here.
After all, Xu Shen found the smell of the dead animal's internal organs tempting.
And the smell will linger.
"Seal off this place and don't let anyone get close for a short period of time."
"Yeah." The captain of the guard nodded quickly.
Then a few people got in the car, left under the gaze of everyone, and returned to the bureau.
The follow-up work report will be handed over to Xia Jingxiang and others.
Xu Shen left the gifts in the manor in the closet, planning to move them out when they were all away. He always felt that it was a bit shameful to take these things and they should not be seen in public.
Afterwards, Xu Shen contacted Director Liu and explained the reason for taking on the extra tasks, using the excuse that he wanted to practice.
Director Liu didn't hesitate to see this and said he would make more arrangements.
When Xu Shen returned to Yanluo Street, it was already evening. Zhang Liyao knocked on the door and brought him a midnight snack. She was dressed a little coolly, revealing her sexy collarbone and her thighs.
Xu Shen took the midnight snack, closed the door, and ate it with relish.
Now that she hasn't found a useful assistant, Zhang Liyao can only make do with what she has.
Knock knock.
Zhang Liyao knocked on the door, her voice full of grievance: "Captain Xu, it's so cold outside."
"Go home if you're cold."
“But it was also cold on the way home.”
Xu Shen sighed and opened the door.
Zhang Liyao's sad look suddenly turned into surprise, and she was about to step into the room, but the next moment she was pushed back by a hand.
Xu Shen grabbed the clothes in his hand and handed them to her: "Put on my coat and lend it to you. Oh, and please wash and dry it for me. I haven't washed it in a long time."
Zhang Liyao: “…”
The door closed again, leaving only a pretty face gritting its teeth outside.
Xu Shen returned to the room. After a while, he heard the sound of high heels coming down the stairs outside the door. The sound seemed to be a little louder than when he came in.
Is the coat heavy...Xu Shen shook his head, and some snow-white images emerged in his mind, but he quickly shook his head to dispel them.
Having seen the hell of flesh and blood, he has a high resistance to beauty.
The outside of the delicate flesh and blood looks almost the same when the skin is turned over.
Xu Shen didn't know whether this could be considered psychological distortion or some kind of disease, but he felt that it did not affect his life much.
"The weight of the mask is 4, the weight of the gloves is 3, the weight of the black skin is 2, and the weight of the black blood is also 2. Previously, absorbing 7 pieces was the limit, and now I can only absorb one more piece."
The Xu Shen's internal force surged, and several Xu weapons appeared on his body. When all the Xu weapons were mobilized, Xu Shen didn't know to what extent his combat effectiveness would be improved.
In the past few days, through testing, he has figured out the weights of several Xu soldiers.
Fortunately, he had enough soldiers in his hands to detect the weight of these soldiers one by one.
According to the 12-bit limit, we have to rely on ordinary soldiers to fill in the gaps and test them one by one to get the result.
Although the number of absorbed Xu soldiers is limited, the Xu soldiers with higher weights are obviously more effective. Even if there is only one, it is equivalent to four or five ordinary Xu soldiers.
"If the mask can find other Xu Bing to fuse with, and the weight increases to 6, it will undergo a qualitative change. I don't know what amazing effect it will have. According to the records in the Light Chasing Conference, Xu Bing with a weight of 6 are considered second-stage Xu Bing. There are very few of them. We didn't even find such a Xu Bing in Mo Qinghao's body before."
"Even the talents cultivated by such a domineering Mohist school don't have one. No wonder it is so rare."
Xu Shen was somewhat expectant. No wonder both the leaders of the Xu Secret Bureau and the Light Chasing Society believed that the more Xu soldiers there were, the better. Even if they were useless Xu soldiers, if they could be gathered together with those with similar characteristics and fused and their weights changed, their abilities would be greatly improved.
Xu Shen’s mask has not been truly used since its fusion, but he knows that the effect of this mask is extremely overbearing.
"It's time to ask and show it off. If someone tells on us, it will help the Mohist School to be more restrained and stop targeting Dicheng..."
Xu Shen's eyes flickered slightly, he called out with his mind, and soon, his thoughts were drawn to the world of spiritual light.
Although it was dark outside, the spiritual world at this moment was still bright, surrounded by 27 stars.
