The First Mist Chapter 57: Cultivation
When everyone heard Liu Jichuan mention that matter, their expressions changed slightly.
indeed.
This incident will have a huge impact on the Xumi Bureau, and may even create one or two more big names.
"These guys are like hungry wolves. They must have been eyeing this for a long time."
"Who the hell is the Fog Workers Mutual Aid Association? Are they worthy of getting involved? Anyone with a little capital wants to get involved!"
Many people looked angry. The competition among the various branches of the Xumi Bureau was already fierce, and now with the intervention of these forces, it would only become more brutal.
"Why don't they take care of the inner city? They let in all kinds of people!" someone said dissatisfiedly.
Another old man sneered, "In the eyes of the inner city, we are just cannon fodder for them to clear the field. What's the big deal about one more? Besides, these guys have gone to great lengths to establish connections behind the scenes. If they don't have the qualifications to enter, what's the point of preparing for anything!"
"Old Liu."
Another woman who looked like a mature woman looked at Liu Jichuan and said, "Recently, there have been frequent incidents of Xu beasts, especially in the Wumian District, which is almost occupied by Xu beasts. I heard some rumors. Do you think this is man-made?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the conference room fell into a brief silence.
Many people looked at the mature woman, and some looked at Liu Jichuan.
Liu Jichuan frowned and said coldly, "Are you saying that they brought Xu here specifically to consume the power of our Xu Secret Bureau?"
The Secret Bureau of Ruins is the only orthodox force that can kill ruins. It enjoys many conveniences and benefits of the inner city, but at the same time it must also fulfill its duties as a killer of ruins. Once a ruins incident breaks out, the first person to be held accountable is the leader of the Secret Bureau of Ruins.
"That's right. I heard that the Wumian District has lost two first-tier teams. Even the Yue Ling who is in charge of the Wumian District has taken action many times!"
The mature woman said.
Some people nodded slightly, obviously having heard about this matter. There was indeed a hint of conspiracy here.
"The recent outbreak of the market incident in our Heiguang District seems to have some fluctuations. Although it is not that frequent, judging from the statistical data curve, there is a rising trend." said a middle-aged man wearing glasses.
"These damn guys!" Someone slammed the table. "If they can't kill the ruins, they resort to dirty tricks. They are all hard-working people of Dicheng, and they are harming each other. How stupid!"
"If they don't harm us, do they have the guts to harm the big shots in the inner city? In the end, they are just a bunch of rats in the gutter, and they only know how to bully others in their own den!"
"Why don't we take it slow when it comes to killing the ruins? There are so many of them anyway, we can't kill them all! We've been killing them for thousands of years, but we haven't seen any of them become extinct!"
"Slowly? How to slow down? Watching the ruins preying on people everywhere, and various communities, streets and towns falling? If it was in the suburbs, it would be fine, and it wouldn't alarm the higher-ups, but what if it was in the city?"
"Then let's just deal with the urban area, so that those guys in the urban area don't have to run into the inner city and make trouble!"
"Are people from the suburbs not human? Aren't you from the suburbs? Even if you're not, aren't your parents? Aren't your parents' parents?!"
"alright!"
Liu Jichuan slammed the table and said, "Stop arguing. What's the point of arguing? If you have the energy, you might as well pick up your swords and go out and chop the two of them!"
Everyone in the conference room suddenly fell silent.
Those who had been arguing with each other till their faces turned red now looked calm, as if nothing had happened.
"We are the Xumi Bureau. Don't forget our mission!"
Liu Jichuan's eyes were cold as he said, "Destroying the Ruins is our first responsibility, and everything else comes second. If we don't have enough manpower, you will go down there . If you can't lift the sword, go to the logistics department to command reinforcements. If we really need more people, I will also help. The Ruins Secret Bureau doesn't keep idle people!"
Everyone was silent, no sound was made.
"Let's adjourn the meeting!" Liu Jichuan waved his hand, seeming a little tired.
Everyone stood up and said goodbye one after another.
But there were still one or two people sitting in the conference room.
After everyone else left and the door of the conference room closed, Liu Jichuan sat down with a twisted nose and sighed, "These guys, do they think I don't know their little tricks? They would rather lie on the fallen giant's body and eat the rotten meat than help the giant stand up. How foolish..."
"Old Liu, I heard that Old Man Du joined the Black Light Religion. Recently, the Black Light Religion released a Ruin, which was carried out by Old Man Du. It was also the first step in the oath."
The mature woman said.
Liu Jichuan's face changed slightly, and he snorted coldly: "This old guy is still restless at this age. Does he really want to go to the inner city to enjoy his old age?"
"Do you want to deal with it?" asked another young man, his tone cold and without any emotion.
Liu Jichuan's eyes flickered slightly, but he finally shook his head: "Now is the time to use people. I let Mina point out this matter earlier so that they can behave themselves."
The mature woman nodded slightly: "These guys think that we are unaware of their release of the Ruins. We should give them a warning."
"There are some outstanding newcomers recently, remember to focus on training them. Zhao Yuan's loss is too much. We were already short of manpower, and now the situation is even tighter."
Liu Jichuan's face turned from gloomy to bright, and he said, "Fortunately, I heard that in this incident, the performance of the natural Xu power user was very surprising. He actually had the ability to kill a C-level Xu."
"Yeah, I remember he was only participating in his second mission, right?" Mina exclaimed.
"From the end of the two-month training camp to now, it has been less than half a year in total. This growth rate is indeed terrifying." The young man with an indifferent tone also nodded slightly.
"This reminds me of Bai Wuji. He had a similar experience and was equally outstanding. I hope he won't be as cold-blooded as Bai Wuji." Liu Jichuan sighed.
The two looked at each other and were silent.
Bai Wuji, just like his name, has now become a taboo.
…
…
Xu Shen and others returned to the Xu Secret Bureau.
After two days of rest, the task was completed.
"Sleepless Zone Spider Nest C-level large-scale incident—"
"Xu Shen, one of the team members who participated in the incident, performed outstandingly in the incident, killing a C-level Xuyan man, injuring a D-level Xuyan, and saving the captain and a team member from danger!"
"Reward, two third-class merits! Two fourth-class merits!"
“Mission Reward: 50,000 Luka Coins, 10 bottles of Ruin Purification Agent, and a Ruin Slashing Sword!”
On the second floor, Zhou Ye read out Xu Shen’s reward for his merits, and then handed Xu Shen a black box with a smile on his face.
Inside was the mission reward and a Zhanxu sword, which were handed over to Xu Shen separately.
"Yours fell into the cave, and the blade is a little damaged, so the bureau gave you a new one." Zhou Ye said with a smile.
Xu Shen knew that this was obtained because Zhou Ye reported it on his behalf.
"It almost accumulated into a second-class merit!" Su Shuang was a little amazed and envious, but more of a happy person for Xu Shen. After all, in the final desperate situation, only Xu Shen was paying attention to her and even wanted to help her.
Xu Shen took the black box, but did not open it as impatiently as he did the first time. He knew that the reward must be inside, and he would not be left out.
"Captain, your contribution..."
"We didn't lose any power." Zhou Ye said with a smile: "This is a large-scale C-level incident. It is already very difficult for us to ensure that we will not die. You can't blame us."
Xu Shen suddenly realized and said with a smile: "That's good."
"This time it's all thanks to Xu Shen, otherwise Xiaoxiao and I would have died in there." Zhou Ye sighed and patted Xu Shen on the shoulder. He didn't say the words of thanks, but they were evident.
"I owe you a life too." Mo Xiaoxiao said quietly.
"We are all team members, it's only natural for us to help each other." Xu Shen said quickly.
Zhou Ye smiled and said, "Take a rest. I'll treat you in a couple of days. Let's have another meal at our old place."
"It seems that the captain will have to spend money again." Su Shuang smiled.
"I'm happy." Zhou Ye said with a smile.
When everyone was celebrating, Xiao Min at the front desk downstairs suddenly brought a message that someone was looking for Xu Shen.
Soon, the elevator dinged.
Several people looked over in surprise. Zhou Ye was startled and rushed over to him: "Director, why are you here?"
The person who walked out of the elevator was Liu Jichuan, and next to him was a tall mature woman, who was Li Meina.
"Is this Xu Shen?"
Li Meina's eyes fell on Xu Shen.
Xu Shen was surprised: "Do you know me?"
"I know Zhou Ye." Li Meina smiled: "Besides him, you are the only one left here."
"Well……"
Liu Jichuan was also looking at Xu Shen and found that this young man did not show any trace of Xu power, which showed that he controlled the Xu power very well.
"Director, are you here to see Xu Shen?" Zhou Ye was surprised, but then relieved. Given Xu Shen's performance, it was not surprising that the director came in person to express his condolences.
"Well, you have worked hard during this period." Liu Jichuan encouraged, and then came to Xu Shen, "I have heard that heroes emerge from young people, and little Xu is indeed handsome."
"?"
Xu Shen was a little confused. Is there any connection between the two?
"How are you doing in Team 17? Is there anything you're not adapting to?" Liu Jichuan had "kindness" written all over his face.
