The First Mist Chapter 152 Under the Church
Xu Shen shook his head and pushed the woman away.
"I'm the leader of the Light Chasing Society and also the captain of the Secret Bureau of the Ruins. Aren't you going too far by doing this?" Xu Shen said. Although he knew that the titles he mentioned might not necessarily have any effect, this was the only meaningful thing he could say at the moment.
"You still despise me."
The woman became unhappy when she saw Xu Shen break free. She tore off her previous shy and reserved disguise, held Xu Shen's face with her hands, and applied a little force.
"What you said may be useful in your city, but forget about it in front of us."
As she said that, she pressed her body on Xu Shen and tried to kiss him forcefully.
Xu Shen's pupils dilated and he tried to break free, but his internal energy was blocked and he could not withstand the opponent's huge force.
"I didn't rinse my mouth!" Xu Shen said hurriedly.
"I don't mind." The woman smiled.
“I don’t rinse my mouth all year round!”
"It's okay." The woman smiled and said, "I've kissed dirtier things. The dirtier they are, the more I like them."
She lifted up her church uniform. Although the interior of the car was not narrow, it was not spacious either. She seemed to want to violate Xu Shen directly here.
Xu Shen had an unsightly expression on his face. He saw the people around him, all of whom were smiling as if they were watching a monkey show. It was obvious that this was not the first time that this had happened to them.
"Don't dirty my food..."
Suddenly, a soft voice sounded.
Xu Shen saw Maeve standing behind the woman with a smile on her face, but it was a little different from her usual smile, and there was a hint of danger in her eyes.
Xu Shen saw her stretch out her finger and gently tap the woman's head.
“Hmm…”
The woman suddenly covered her head, frowned, and looked in pain.
"What's wrong?"
The young man next to him smiled and said, "Have you been playing too much recently and are you feeling weak?"
The woman slid off Xu Shen's body, covered her head, and leaned on the chair. She was in too much pain to answer the young man.
After a long time, the woman finally recovered, but her eyes were a little confused. She looked around, and the sudden pain just now made her think that she was attacked.
But there were no wounds, obviously it was her own fault.
Could it be that he was infected with some serious disease when he came to the bottom city?
She had long heard that Dicheng was dirty and messy, and that there had even been a plague.
“Damn it!”
The woman got up from the ground and sat back on the chair. She just kept rubbing her head with her hands and looked at Xu Shen angrily: "You people in Dicheng are really dirty!"
Not as dirty as you guys... Xu Shen glanced at her, and in the corner of his eye he saw Maeve sitting back in another empty space, smiling and winking at Xu Shen.
What did she do?
Xu Shen was puzzled. He thought that Maeve must have done something wrong. But looking at the woman's appearance, she seemed to be fine except for having a headache.
Moreover, Maeve just made a move, but the people around her did not react. Logically, Maeve should have just descended into the reality they were in.
Could it be that it is not coming?
Or, only one finger descended?
"I've told you not to play so wildly. Trying everything will definitely cause you harm. You'd better go to the hospital for a full body check-up." Another middle-aged man shook his head and advised.
The woman continued to rub her head, rubbing it to generate heat. Gradually, she felt the pain subside, then she glared at the man and said, "Don't give me that. I just feel unwell for a while."
A few people smiled at each other, and no one cared.
After the woman had a headache, she no longer had the intention to continue teasing Xu Shen, so she leaned aside to rest.
The other few people continued chatting, but soon, they had nothing to say and went to rest and recuperate.
Xu Shen leaned against it quietly, his eyes gloomy.
He felt that this trip was likely to be dangerous, and even if he could return, he would most likely be badly injured.
How to save yourself?
King Mu said that he would ask the big shots in the inner city to protect him, so he could only wait for this opportunity.
If that doesn't work...
…
…
In a blink of an eye, the vehicle arrived at the inner city.
Passing through the passage, the guard saw the moon-colored robes worn by several people in the vehicle and let them pass without even checking their ID.
The pitch-black passage was like the bloody mouth of a vicious beast.
After passing through the back of the passage, the vehicle sped all the way. Xu Shen looked at the scenery along the way. The smiles on the faces of passers-by outside the street were obviously more energetic and lively compared to the numbness and dullness commonly seen on the streets of Dicheng.
Maybe this is the charm of the inner city.
But... the faces of the people in the car reminded Xu Shen that this was the true appearance of the inner city.
As the night deepens, lights come on in every home.
The street lights are shining brightly, making the neighborhood look more prosperous and beautiful.
The vehicle stopped in front of a church and the surroundings were relatively quiet.
Outside the church stands a towering sculpture of a tall and handsome middle-aged man. His axe-carved face is filled with mercy and compassion, as well as a majesty that cannot be looked directly at.
After opening the car door, everyone's expressions returned to solemnity.
Xu Shen was escorted out of the car and into the church.
There were no believers in the black church late at night, only missionaries were inside the church.
We walked through the church hall and arrived at a stand-alone building behind the church.
It is quiet here. Moonlight shines through the gaps between the flower-like glass windows and shines into the church .
A priest in a snow-white robe was reading a book quietly. As several people came in to report, he slowly raised his head, revealing a face full of kindness and gentleness.
"Your Excellency the Bishop, this person is the culprit that caused the annihilation of Hu Xuan's team." The middle-aged leader came to the bishop in a snow-white robe and bowed his head to report.
"Very young..." The old bishop in a long robe looked at Xu Shen with a compassionate smile. His hair was silver-gray and combed meticulously, and he looked extremely clean and tidy.
Xu Shen looked at the cover of the book in his hand: Moonlight Bible.
Looking at the other party's gentle and soft eyes, Xu Shen gritted his teeth and said, "Your Excellency the Bishop, I am innocent. They abused their official position and just tried to threaten me in the car."
"What nonsense are you talking about!" The middle-aged leader's face changed slightly, and he suddenly turned around and shouted angrily.
"My face still smells of her saliva, Your Excellency the Bishop. You are very observant and will surely be able to tell the difference." Xu Shen pointed at the woman in the team.
"Don't talk nonsense!" The woman's face changed drastically and turned pale.
The old man in the snow-white robe glanced at the woman, and this look made the woman tremble. The angry words that followed were stuck in her throat. She hurriedly lowered her head, trembling like a quail.
Xu Shen was slightly stunned. This reaction of awe... seemed a bit too much.
"You are still so rash in doing things, without any rules at all." The old man in the snow-white robe put down the book, slowly stood up, and walked towards Xu Shen.
Several people hurriedly bowed their heads, and the middle-aged man who led the team said, "My Lord Bishop, don't listen to this kid's nonsense."
"You are not just arresting someone to take the blame, are you?" The old man in the snow-white robe narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Xu Shen gently: "I think he is a good kid with a clear look in his eyes. He should not hurt Hu Xuan and the others."
"Your Excellency, don't be fooled by him. We have evidence."
The middle-aged leader said hurriedly, taking out a stack of information from the bag in his hand.
"This is what we investigated in Dicheng."
The old man in a snow-white robe took it and flipped through it casually.
Xu Shen was slightly stunned, looking at the stack of information, which had four or five pages. Did the other party really have evidence?
"Hu Xuan and his team were involved in a B-level incident, and were killed by Xu Zhan... It just so happened that the surveillance cameras were broken in those sections of the road, but we investigated and found that the surveillance cameras returned to normal a few months before and after that period. It was obviously erased by someone!" said the middle-aged .
"If it was purely because of Xu, the surveillance would never be broken. They are covering it up!"
"Here's some information from passers-by who have seen him speeding down that street."
"We also found out that Liu Cheng from Hu Xuan's team had left the team without permission. We investigated Liu Cheng and found that something had happened to his 'money bag' in Dicheng..."
He told the story slowly and leisurely.
The more he spoke, the uglier Xu Shen's expression became.
The other party actually has evidence.
The investigation was extremely detailed.
However, as someone from the inner city, how could the other party investigate to such an extent what happened in the outer city a few months ago?
After they found out the information, they found me... which means they only found out recently. Without someone's help, they would never have been able to find out so clearly... There was a gleam of anger in Xu Shen's eyes. He didn't know who was cooperating with him. The only ones who knew about all this were the Xumi Bureau and the Zhuiguang Society.
One of the parties must have been involved in the investigation.
He even took the initiative to provide them with evidence.
This person must know the truth.
Director Liu...that’s unlikely. He still expects himself to be in charge of the Xu Secret Bureau.
Could it be Chu Bai? That figure flashed through Xu Shen's mind. The other party had previously revealed the news about the Jiang family in the hope that he would go to the inner city.
In this case, apart from the retired Old Wang, he is the only one in charge in the bureau, and all the powerful people in the Heiguang District have to give him some face.
That's why the other party was kind enough to tell him some information about the inner city.
Was he the one who betrayed him?
Not really... He probably isn't that clear about his own affairs.
Then the only thing left is the light chasing meeting...
Several faces suddenly appeared in Xu Shen’s mind. He was promoted to leader and power was divided up. Is there anyone who is unhappy with him?
"It seems to be true. It was just a critical state at that time, but it harmed Hu Xuan and others..." The old man in the snow-white robe finished flipping through the information and looked up at Xu Shen. His expression was still gentle, but he frowned slightly.
Xu Shen hurriedly said: "Your Excellency the Bishop, this evidence is all fabricated. Someone is deliberately framing me."
"oh?"
The old man in the snow-white robe asked, "Who framed you?"
"I don't know." Xu Shen gritted his teeth and said, "If you give me some time, I will definitely go back and investigate it thoroughly."
The old man in the snow-white robe showed disappointment in his eyes, sighed, and said: "It seems that you are not a good child either. You act too rashly."
Xu Shen was stunned.
"It's not scary to do bad things, what's scary is being discovered..."
The old man in the snow-white robe shook his head slightly and said, "The Moon Goddess has sent down the light of wisdom. If you do not accept the Lord's grace, that would be a sin..."
"What do you mean?" Xu Shen's expression changed slightly, realizing that there was something wrong with the old man in front of him.
"What it means is that stupidity is a sin!" sneered the woman behind him. She was obviously very familiar with this bishop.
Xu Shen's expression changed slightly.
"That's right." The old man in the snow-white robe nodded slightly: "Stupidity is the greatest sin. There is no good or evil in this world, only the difference between smart people and fools."
"A kind-hearted fool tries his best to show his kindness, but when he uses it in the wrong place, it is evil! The most unforgivable thing is that such people often do wrong things and commit sins, but they can still be forgiven without knowing it. This is the ultimate evil!"
The old man clasped his hands together as if in prayer: "Good and evil, good and evil, refer to good evil people, not clever evil people."
Xu Shen was stunned.
Although he had not read much, he did not expect that "good and evil" would be understood in this way.
These are not antonyms, but rather synonyms?
Seeing Xu Shen's reaction, the old man sighed and said, "You have committed such a sin. From now on, you should listen to prayers and teachings under the church. I hope that you can wash away your ignorance."
Xu Shen's face looked grim, at least the other party was right about one thing.
He ended up like this just because he didn't clean up his mess.
Committing a crime and getting caught is stupid.
Stupidity is a sin.
"Your Excellency the Bishop, Hu Xuan and his companions went to investigate the town monument of Baiyi City. Now they have been framed and killed. Doesn't he need to pay for his life?" the woman said through gritting her teeth.
It was obvious that he was still resentful of Xu Shen's previous complaint.
Even though she was still lusting after the other man's masculinity not long ago.
"Once a dead person is dead, he cannot be resurrected. Killing him is useless. It is wise to make the best use of things." The old man in the snow-white robe glanced at the woman and said.
The woman's face changed slightly and she lowered her head quickly.
They must not commit foolish sins in front of the bishop... this was a forbidden area that they all understood.
"Come with me."
The old man in a snow-white robe turned around and slightly moved under a lamp. Suddenly, a sound of stone rubbing against each other was heard next to him. A dark door opened, and a faint light came from inside, illuminating a passage and stairs.
Xu Shen looked unhappy and said, "My Lord Bishop, I have been wronged."
"Hush!" The old man in the snow-white robe raised his finger slightly and said softly, "Saying this after committing a crime is the stupidest thing to do. Don't say it again."
Xu Shen's face turned pale and blue.
Indeed, instead of complaining about being wronged, it is better to get rid of those who framed you.
Or deal with the person in front of you.
Xu Shen's eyes flickered under the light.
Followed a few people into the passage.
Follow the winding steps to the underground.
The area beneath the church is like an underground maze, winding and twisting.
Xu Shen became more and more frightened as he walked , and put all other thoughts aside. From the depths of the passage, he smelled a familiar scent.
That's the taste of "Mom's" cooking!
