Volume 2: The Church of Light Chapter 161 Purpose
Mu Wang looked calm and asked, "What do you want to talk about?"
"Let's talk about who betrayed me. You don't think this is a coincidence, right? It's been so long, have you found any clues?" Xu Shen said with a smile.
The corner of Mu Wang's eyes twitched slightly. You killed people indiscriminately and now you ask him who the mastermind is?
All the people have been killed, so what difference does it make who betrays you?
"What? Do you suspect me?" Mu Wang stared at Xu Shen coldly.
Xu Shen shook his head: "Of course not, you have no such motive or interest. I just want to see if you can get justice for me."
King Mu snorted coldly: "You were able to come back alive, isn't it because of my help?"
Xu Shen looked at him in surprise, "Do you still think that I can only come back if you hire someone?"
Mu Wang frowned slightly, "Isn't it?"
Xu Shen laughed so hard that he fell forward and backward, and couldn't help but slap the table with his hands.
"You are really... humorous."
Xu Shen's smile slowly faded, and he said, "Is it necessary to pretend at this point? If you really helped, would I have come back today?"
"Of course I helped. Was there any need to lie to you? Do I still care about your gratitude?" Wood King snorted coldly: "As for whether you just came back today, who knows? Maybe you have already come back, but you just didn't inform us."
Xu Shen looked at his cold eyes and suddenly felt that the other party might not be lying.
A smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said, "Maybe you really hired someone for me, but unfortunately, are you sure that the person you hired really helped?"
King Mu was slightly startled, and a certain scene appeared in his mind. His eyes darkened slightly, and he asked, "What do you mean?"
"It seems... the big shot you begged for help doesn't care about your request." Xu Shen smiled and said, "Of course, it is also possible that he doesn't care about my life."
Mu Wang slammed the table and said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense!"
Seeing his sudden intense emotion, Xu Shen's smile faded slightly and he said with a smile: "Don't be angry, some things just take getting used to. I believe you helped, but I won't remember this favor. So, as the leader, have you found out who betrayed me after all this time?"
"I don't need you to remember this favor. Since you said I didn't help you, then how did you come back? Relying on your eloquence?" King Mu sneered.
"Of course there are other ways out..." Xu Shen smiled softly and said, "If you want to verify it, just ask the person you asked if they can help you."
Another way out? Mu Wang narrowed his eyes. He felt that Xu Shen was not lying. At the same time, he also vaguely guessed that perhaps the master he invited did not take his words seriously.
After all, the one who died was just a small commander of Dicheng...
Maybe in the eyes of the other party, the life of such a person is not worth a trip.
"The person who betrayed you has been killed by you. Do you still want to whip his corpse?" Mu Wang said coldly.
Xu Shen turned his head slightly and looked around. The bodies on the ground had been moved away long ago, leaving only bloodstains. He was looking at those bloodstains and asked, "Who is it?"
"Wei Yuan."
King Mu said coldly: "He is an old man in the association. His specific motive is probably that he doesn't want the authority to be divided too much . It may also be that he simply doesn't like you, or it may just be... a prank."
Is this a prank...Xu Shen raised his eyebrows slightly, and a smile appeared in his eyes again.
He had no impression of the person Mu Wang was talking about. It seemed to be an old man.
He thought it was the impatient young man he killed at the beginning. The other party had quarreled with him several times in the meeting and had the most motive.
It turns out I killed the wrong person...
But it doesn't matter.
Xu Shen smiled and said, "You are such a pervert. You are almost dead, but you still care about this little power. Unfortunately, among the three promoted commanders, I am the only one who has obvious evidence against me. In the end, it's my own fault... I didn't deal with them all in advance."
When King Mu saw Xu Shen's appearance, he frowned slightly and said in a cold voice: "Now you have taken revenge, and you have also caused the deaths of others. You should think about how to clean up this mess."
Xu Shen smiled and suddenly said, "Before, there were 8 leaders besides you. Another leader was so rare that he was not seen for many years. I heard that he was not around for a long time. I wonder where that leader is now?"
"That person has two identities just like you."
King Mu said coldly: "His other identity is also a high-level one, and he has been using that identity to work for the Light Chaser. It's okay if you kill the others, but you'd better not touch that person. He has nothing to do with you. If you continue to act recklessly, I will definitely execute you!"
Xu Shen looked at him seriously, smiled slightly, and said, "Don't be nervous, I'm just asking. After all, I will be in charge of the leadership from now on. You just need to be a good spokesperson for the inner city, and leave the dirty work to me."
King Mu sneered, "That depends on whether you can handle it. Because you were in the Xumi Bureau before, I hope you can give up your identity there. I didn't force you in a tough way, nor did I give you too many tasks. But other commanders are not as relaxed as you. They all have their own areas to be responsible for. If there is any trouble, I will not be polite!"
"It's okay, I'll take care of it."
Xu Shen smiled and said, "Who is the real purpose of the Chasing Light Society? It is spread across the eight underground cities. You should know that the Moonlight Religion cultivates organizations like us. It should not be trying to rely on us to control the underground cities. It seems that they don't use us to spread their beliefs. So, is it just to make money?"
Mu Wang said coldly: "You don't need to know about this kind of thing. The less you know about some things, the better."
"But I said before that I need to know to what extent we have achieved to complete the task assigned by the Moonlight Religion." Xu Shen said.
King Mu snorted coldly and said, "We need to pay 200 million every six months. In addition, we need to collect soldiers from the ruins and give them priority selection to the bigwigs in the inner city. The soldiers you brought back from the ruins cave will also be sent to the bigwigs in the inner city as soon as possible. After they have made their selection, it will be our turn."
Xu Shen raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at him with interest. He remembered that after Xu Bing took it back, they first chose from each other.
It seems that some procedures do not have to be followed meticulously.
Mu Wang saw what Xu Shen was thinking from her eyes and snorted coldly: "People need to learn to adapt. Only when you become stronger can you serve the association better."
"That makes sense." Xu Shen smiled slightly and said, "But if we have to pay 200 million every six months, can we really make that much money?"
King Mu said coldly: "This is the task of other commanders. Do you think it is easy?"
"Then where do they get the money?" Xu Shen asked.
"The market is just one of the ways our club makes money. Apart from these, our club's fixed industries can bring in at least 100 million yuan every six months. To earn the remaining 100 million yuan, we need some special means."
Xu Shen raised his eyebrows slightly. Can one earn such a high income just by other industries?
It seems that the Light Chasing Club has extended its reach into many industries.
Such excess wealth is unimaginable for the lower-class fog people, but for the real big shots, it is just a nice extra income.
"In addition to these, we need to find something else." Mu Wang opened the drawer under the desk and took out a scroll.
On top is a strange crystal.
Xu Shen took a look, his eyes flickered slightly, and his expression was normal.
"This is a very rare crystal. We don't know what it is used for . Maybe those big shots just take it for viewing. After all, they will spend a lot of money and energy that we can't imagine for their own interests and hobbies."
King Mu said indifferently: "The purpose of recruiting so many leaders in the association is to hope that the more people there are, the faster we can find this thing."
Xu Shen asked, "What reward can I get if I find this thing?"
"The permanent residence quota of the inner city, and not the outer ring of the inner city, is the real inner city aristocratic circle. You will also get the household registration of the famous family in the inner city, which is the status second only to the household registration of the high family."
King Mu said, "In addition to these, there are also money, beauties, the secret technique of the ruins slayer, and the secret to the king, etc. In short, as long as you find this thing, you can ascend to heaven in one step!"
Even more generous than No. 2... Xu Shen thought to himself.
This crystal is the spiritual secret.
I didn't expect that the Light Chasing Club was also searching in secret. Could it be that No. 2 is behind the Moonlight Religion?
Could this be the real purpose of establishing the Light Chasing Club?
"It's just a crystal. It shouldn't be difficult to find it." Xu Shen said.
The Wood King sneered and said, "It has to look exactly the same. This is carved according to the proportions of the real crystal, a 1:1 restoration. Have you ever seen a crystal as big as a fist?"
Xu Shen raised his eyebrows slightly and said nothing.
“There’s no rush to find this thing. Anyway, their mess now falls to you to deal with.” King Mu put away the scroll.
Xu Shen didn't comment, "No problem."
After chatting for a while, Xu Shen got the information from the mysterious commander and then said goodbye and left.
The mysterious leader's other identity is a high-ranking member of the Wugong Mutual Aid Association. He is very well hidden and is a spy planted in the Wugong Mutual Aid Association by the Chasing Light Association.
Xu Shen had no plans to contact him, but now he was in control, he would need this person sooner or later.
When Xu Shen walked downstairs, he saw that the vehicle from the City State Guard Station had arrived outside. He couldn't help but think of Nan Ning, wondering if she was still diligently reading the files every day.
Thinking of the other person's clear eyes, Xu Shen was silent.
Is it really through the law or violence that the city can be saved?
Or, match them together...
"They died together?"
Passing by a certain floor, Xu Shen heard a sound of exclamation coming from inside.
He tilted his head slightly and took a look. It was the surviving old commander who was explaining the situation to several guards of the city-state guardhouse. Among them was a middle-aged man in a judge's uniform.
Obviously, when something big happens in an organization like the Light Chasing Society, it will take more than just a small lawyer to solve the problem.
"Is this true? We need to investigate this kind of thing to know. Is there any surveillance? How come we heard that someone killed them?"
"The surveillance is broken."
The old man chuckled and said, "We in the Light Chasing Club are all peaceful people. How could we kill anyone? They just had a small quarrel and couldn't help it. It was all a misunderstanding... How about this, since you have worked hard to come upstairs, let's go have a cup of tea first, and I will tell you in detail?"
They looked at each other and left with the old man.
The old man led them out along the corridor. When he saw Xu Shen outside, the old man's expression changed slightly. He immediately smiled at Xu Shen, then lowered his head and continued walking.
The guards also saw Xu Shen, and vaguely guessed that this young man had a high status in the Zhuiguang Club. They all nodded slightly and passed by.
Xu Shen did not stay long, he knew that the old man was dealing with a few guards and was not looking for trouble.
Xu Shen continued to go downstairs and found Da Lili, asking her to retrieve the information and addresses of the six deceased commanders.
Although he already knew about it, he still went through the procedure.
Big Lily had already heard about the situation at the leadership level through other colleagues. Such a big thing had happened in the club and everyone had heard about it. She looked at Xu Shen with awe in her eyes. Obviously, she knew the inside story.
