Volume 2: The Church of Light Chapter 168: Subjugation
Through the muzzle of the sniper rifle, Xu Shen saw Chen Qingyun who was shot in the head in the office.
His head was like spilled red paint, and his body was driven by inertia and hit the desk behind him.
Xu Shen continued to stare with his eyes, and when he saw that the headless corpse had not moved for a long time, he confirmed that the latter should have been sniped.
He immediately called the anchor point from the thick fog, put away the sniper rifle, and then escaped into the ruins, passing through the block buildings and running rampant through the bustling Corona Street. Pedestrians on the street passed through his body without touching each other.
When Xu Shen walked into the headquarters of the Bai Day Gang, the shrill sound of the Xu Beast alarm suddenly rang out.
Xu Shen didn't care. The Ruin Beast Alarm could be triggered even by a Ruin Slayer. As long as the alarm detected energy activity in the Ruin Realm within the perception range of the alarm, it would give an alert.
Amid the commotion caused by the alarm, Xu Shen went straight to Chen Qingyun's office.
Return to reality from the world of Xuzhou.
The alarms in the entire building also stopped screaming.
"Um?"
As soon as he entered the office, Xu Shen saw Chen Qingyun's figure, crawling in a corner of the office, crouching, as if lying in ambush, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
However, at this moment, Chen Qingyun's body appeared transparent and extremely unreal.
And in front of the desk, his headless body was still lying there, and blood was splattered on the ground and walls in a radioactive manner.
Seeing Xu Shen emerge from the ruins, Chen Qingyun in the corner suddenly became filled with anger. It turned out that the one who sniped him was indeed this damned young man!
Then come and pay with your life!
His eyes were vicious, and he suddenly reached out to grab Xu Shen's head.
Xu Shen's figure swayed quickly and avoided Chen Qingyun's attack.
Chen Qingyun's pupils shrank, and he said in horror: "You can see me?!"
Xu Shen didn't say anything. Behind him, an equally nearly transparent young man appeared and punched Chen Qingyun.
Chen Qingyun's face suddenly changed and he was shocked. No wonder Xu Shen could see him. It turned out that he was also a person with psychic abilities.
He also punched the young man, and the two of them fought fiercely.
Both of them are in spiritual state, have no weapons, and can only fight with their hands and feet.
Xu Shen stood aside and watched coldly.
Chen Qingyun became more and more frightened as the fight went on. Xu Shen's condensed spiritual body was extremely strong, and he could not gain any advantage for the time being.
"Die!"
Chen Qingyun gritted his teeth, roared, and burst out with even faster movements, quickly suppressing the young man.
Xu Shen frowned slightly.
A "mom" voice came from behind him, saying softly, "Do you need my help?"
Chen Qingyun, who was fighting on the opposite side, seemed to have heard the gentle voice and turned his head to look. He was shocked when he saw it. His legs trembled slightly, revealing a flaw. He was hit by a punch from the young man, and his body was pierced and became much thinner.
He looked at Xu Shen in horror, or rather... he was looking at the huge and ferocious figure behind Xu Shen!
What kind of monster is this boy? !
“Stop, stop it!”
Chen Qingyun came back to his senses and shouted in fear.
The young man in front of him threw another punch, then stopped and looked at him expressionlessly.
Xu Shen looked at Chen Qingyun and asked : "What is your ability?"
This is what I want to ask you... Chen Qingyun's expression was complicated. His ability was a rare trait ability, as rare as that woman's chain ability, or even rarer. When it came to saving his life, he was not inferior to some reconstruction ability users.
His true body is his current spiritual body.
As long as his spirit is not destroyed , he can find a new body and regenerate and be resurrected.
Therefore, it would be meaningless even if his body was chopped into pieces .
He had just been lurking here, intending to invade the attacker's body and plunder his body, but he did not expect that Xu Shen also had strong mental power and could directly see his true form.
"Do you really want to be an enemy of our Coffee Party?" Chen Qingyun looked at Xu Shen and was full of fear of this young man. No wonder Xu Shen spoke incoherently before and said he wanted to go back to sleep. It turned out that he wanted him to relax his vigilance.
The same is true for the satisfied attitude expressed after receiving the vehicle.
"It could be me, or it could be us." Xu Shen looked at him calmly and said, "Since you are not dead, I will give you another chance."
Chen Qingyun's face looked grim. He had been active in the Sleepless Zone for more than ten years, but today he was defeated by a young junior.
choose?
Seeing the huge and ferocious figure gradually disappearing behind Xu Shen, Chen Qingyun still felt frightened. He knew he had no choice.
Death, or betrayal.
There is no doubt that it is to survive.
"At this point, I can only do it with you." Chen Qingyun's eyes flickered for a while, and he sighed softly, saying: "But, can you trust me?"
"I can't trust you." Xu Shen said, "So, I need your performance to satisfy me."
Chen Qingyun smiled bitterly and said, "Then what do you want me to do?"
"Tell me about the coffee party first."
"good."
Chen Qingyun sighed in his heart and said to Xu Shen: "Our Coffee Party does not have a king. It has been established for more than 30 years. I was recruited as a member more than 10 years after its establishment. I was promoted because of my special abilities and good performance."
"Our boss is quite mysterious. I heard that he is the abandoned son of a certain high-ranking clan, but I don't know which high-ranking clan he is. The boss uses a pseudonym."
Xu Shen smiled and said, "So, you are a small force surviving in the cracks of the inner city. You couldn't make it there, so you came to the outer city to develop?"
Chen Qingyun's mouth twitched slightly, and he said, "It's not a particularly small force. After all, our boss was already at the limit of the second state when I was still in the initial state. It's a pity that the gap between the second state and the king is too big. It's too difficult to become a king. One step difference makes a hundred times difference."
Xu Shen said: "Then how can you be sure that the boss of the Coffee Party is not the king now?"
Chen Qingyun said helplessly: "If the boss is the king, do we still need to look at the face of your Chasing Light Club when we develop in Dicheng? We should have let you look at our face a long time ago. We should have even expanded our industry to other districts and other Dicheng cities a long time ago, and not just in Baiyi City."
Xu Shen nodded slightly. If there was a king, the detective woman probably wouldn't use the term "little punks" to describe this coffee party.
But Chen Qingyun doesn't seem to know much about the background of the Light Chasing Club.
With the strength of the Moonlight Religion, a mere king can still suppress it.
"If we deal with your Coffee Gang, we won't be in trouble from the Gao clan behind your boss, right?" Xu Shen asked. He didn't want to be attacked by the older one after the younger one.
Chen Qingyun shook his head and said, "Of course not. Our boss has long severed ties with the Gao Clan. Unless he can become a king, he will have no chance of returning. But even if he returns to the Gao Clan, it will probably cause a bloody storm. After all, he was expelled in the first place. How can he return peacefully?"
"Besides, most of the big and small forces in the inner city have the Gao clan behind them. There are many abandoned people expelled by the Gao clan. If we kill them, they will attract the attention of the Gao clan. Then the Gao clan will have made countless enemies."
Xu Shen nodded slightly and said, "How many second states are there in the Coffee Party?"
"If we don't count our Bai Day Gang..." Chen Qingyun said this, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. The Bai Day Gang is now basically in name only. The two second-states were killed, and even his life and death are uncertain, so it doesn't matter if we count them in.
"There are seven of them, all in the inner city."
"In addition to our boss, there is another one who is also at the two-state limit and has mastered the extreme state." Chen Qingyun said.
"Two-bit binary limit..."
Xu Shen's eyes moved slightly. Although there was no king, it was still quite tricky.
Actually, me too... Chen Qingyun cried silently in his heart, but he had just reached his limit not long ago and had not yet mastered the extreme state.
In addition, due to his special abilities, he is not very alert on weekdays. Moreover, Xu Shen had previously said that he wanted to go back to sleep, which made him a little relaxed, leading to him being shot and killed by Xu Shen's sniper.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that the sniper rifle is a special modification, which makes it more powerful than a normal sniper rifle.
"If you cooperate with me, are you sure you can solve the problem of the two-state limit?" Xu Shen asked.
Chen Qingyun glanced at Xu Shen. Judging from the combat capability Xu Shen displayed, if he combined with a sniper rifle, he would have a pretty good chance of launching a sneak attack.
"You can try." Chen Qingyun didn't dare to guarantee it, and said, "Because his ability is shadow-related, called Mirror Flower, which can hide in the thick fog. If you can't kill him with one strike, he will probably escape, and it will be difficult to catch him. In addition, the right to attack will fall into his hands, and he will kill you in return."
"That depends on your performance." Xu Shen said, "In your current state, are you sure you can ambush him?"
"Not sure..." Chen Qingyun smiled bitterly, "I haven't tried it. Everyone's strength is about the same, so we won't try it easily. Only a life-and-death fight can tell who is stronger and who is weaker."
That’s true...Xu Shen didn’t deny it.
"not good."
Suddenly, Chen Qingyun thought of something and said, "I sent someone to deliver a letter to the inner city earlier. If they knew about the situation here, they would definitely come prepared."
At this point, he looked at Xu Shen and said, "How about I stay here and cover the situation?"
"It's okay." Xu Shen took out the letter from his pocket and said, "I was originally planning to write them a letter in your handwriting after I dealt with you. But now, I don't need to impersonate you anymore."
Seeing the letter in Xu Shen's hand, Chen Qingyun was stunned for a moment and the bitter smile on his face became even more intense.
"Over the years, you have been the local boss here, and you must have made a lot of profits for yourself without telling the Coffee Gang, right?" Xu Shen looked at Chen Qingyun with a smile.
Chen Qingyun said helplessly: "If a person doesn't work for himself, is he still a human being?"
Xu Shen smiled and said, "That's easy. With these things, we are all in the same boat. The Coffee Party doesn't need to worry about it. You just need to keep the situation stable. The Daytime Helper can continue to do his job. As for the deaths of those two people, we will cover it up for now. Besides you, does the Coffee Party have any other spies here?"
Chen Qingyun shook his head and said, "I am the only one doing the handover. I am doing all the dirty work here, but you still send someone to watch over me. That is too ruthless."
What he didn't say was that there were indeed spies sent over in the early years, but they were under his control, and the information passed on to the Coffee Party now was only the information he wanted to give.
If you don’t want to give, then don’t even think about seeing it.
After all, he has worked hard here for more than ten years, but he is still being monitored by others on his own land. His life is in vain.
"That's fine."
Xu Shen said: "If the news of their death is exposed and they come to investigate, we can say that they died in an accident caused by the Xu beast. If it is not exposed, we will wait for an opportunity in the future and use the news of their death to let the Coffee Party send people to investigate, and we will take the initiative to ambush them."
Chen Qingyun didn't expect that Xu Shen was going to use the tricks of these two people to attack the coffee party. He felt a chill in his heart. This young man was no more ruthless than him.
"No problem." Chen Qingyun said, "Are you not going to take action for the time being?"
"Since you have stabilized your situation, just take it slow for now and wait until you are more confident." Xu Shen said.
He is not in a hurry. If he waits until he reaches the two-state limit, his chances of winning will be better.
After all, their abilities are so strange and weird, it would be bad if we alerted the enemy.
Maybe there are only seven people in the coffee party, but what if they have connections? Can they invite people?
These contingencies need to be taken into account.
Hearing Xu Shen's words, Chen Qingyun smiled bitterly. It seemed that he was not dead, which was actually a good thing for Xu Shen.
"Now let's talk about the Daytime Gang..."
Xu Shen sat down at the desk, but this time, he sat in the position where Chen Qingyun had sat before.
Chen Qingyun's own body was lying beside the chair where Xu Shen had sat previously. Now he was just a spirit, standing opposite the desk.
The host and the guest are swapped in just a matter of days and nights.
Through questioning, Xu Shen also learned some intelligence about the Daytime Gang that the Chasing Light Club had not collected.
In addition, what surprised Xu Shen was that the third lady... was actually Chen Qingyun herself.
His ability is to split his spirit and resurrect it by parasitizing different bodies.
But the more it splits, the weaker the mental power of each individual will be.
According to Chen Qingyun, he only split one, that was the third wife.
Seeing Chen Qingyun take the initiative to reveal such a secret, Xu Shen knew that he was expressing his loyalty, but he did not think that Chen Qingyun had only split one.
However, Xu Shen felt that there was no need to delve further into the matter.
No matter how many splits there are, as long as one spiritual body is destroyed, it will be a heavy blow.
Even if the other clone is still alive, its power is weak and insignificant.
And according to Chen Qingyun, the spiritual bodies he split off from are actually his "family".
It was his sister who was eaten in the womb.
When he awakened from the critical state to the second state, he found the spirit of his "sister" from the depths of his memory. It turned out that his sister had been accompanying him for so many years...
At that time, the Third Lady had the car smashed, but in fact Chen Qingyun wanted to see Xu Shen's reaction and also to give Xu Shen a warning.
His memories and his sister's memories are separate and independent.
But he can slightly interfere with and influence his sister's judgment, or rather, there is a strange and covert way of communication between them that outsiders cannot detect.
Such a peculiar ability also made Xu Shen more curious and cautious about the abilities of the trait system.
Sure enough, people with two states of mind are a little abnormal.
Fortunately, I was well protected by my "mother" and didn't go as crazy as them...
