Volume 2: The Church of Light Chapter 192 "Adventurer"
Hearing Xu Shen's straightforward answer, Jiao Yue choked slightly, feeling angry, and said in a low voice: "I know that Mr. Xu is now in a high position, enjoying endless wealth and benefits, but if I remember correctly, Mr. Xu was once a fog dweller. You should know how difficult the fog dwellers' situation is!"
"The rich take human life lightly, the open-minded fool the fog people, rape and insult at will, and the powerful exploit the labor force... You should be able to see these."
"Isn't Mr. Xu moved at all?!"
Jiaoyue clenched her teeth slightly as she spoke, and she looked straight at Xu Shen.
Xu Shen did not comment, and said seriously: "I am moved! I sympathize with them very much, and I also despise these rich and powerful people. I strongly condemn their behavior!"
"Then why is Mr. Xu unwilling to join us?" Jiaoyue's tone slowed down.
Xu Shen sighed, "Didn't you also say that I have endless wealth and benefits? It's too dangerous to do this. You also know that I came from a poor family, and I haven't really enjoyed the good life yet."
Jiaoyue immediately understood what Xu Shen meant and said angrily, "Mr. Xu, it is precisely because you were born into a poor family that you can better understand the difficulties of the Wu people and the difficulties of the grassroots. Now that you have the ability, shouldn't you stand up and help them? If everyone retreats like this, who will come to save them?"
"You guys," Xu Shen said, "I deeply admire the ideals of your organization. I will leave this great task to you."
"you……"
Jiaoyue was so angry that she was speechless.
The black-robed man sighed, "Mr. Xu, I know this makes things difficult for you, but you should be able to understand us. The inner city occupies the vast majority of resources, and even the Ruin Purification Agent is treated differently. We added some filthy things to our Ruin Purification Agent to slow down our cultivation speed... There are also many despicable means, too numerous to count. Are you really willing to endure this kind of humiliation of being oppressed?"
Xu Shen shook his head and said, "This cannot be tolerated. This kind of thing must be condemned!"
“…”
The man in black robe looked at Xu Shen deeply and said nothing more. He already knew what Xu Shen was thinking.
As for the rest, let the organization decide.
They are here to supervise, and their role in the organization is to assassinate, not to persuade.
"Mr. Xu, have you really thought it through?" the man in black robe said solemnly again.
Xu Shen nodded slightly: "I respect the ideals of your organization very much, but I hope you can also understand me. My life has not been easy."
Jiaoyue had seen through Xu Shen's thoughts and immediately stopped trying to hide them. She sneered, "Coward! So selfish!"
Xu Shen raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced at her, and said calmly: "I also have an idea, and I just happen to be short of people. I wonder if you can help me?"
"What?" Jiaoyue frowned.
"Assassinate the Moonlight Pope." Xu Shen pondered and said, "You should know about the Moonlight Religion. I heard that there are several kings in it. I plan to kill them all. Can you help me?"
Jiaoyue couldn't help but roll her eyes and said, "What do you mean? How can I do this?"
Xu Shen sneered: "Coward!"
"..." Jiaoyue choked slightly, and immediately realized that Xu Shen was deliberately mocking her. Her face was a little gloomy, and she said: "I hope you don't regret it."
Xu Shen saw that this woman was being unreasonable, so he ignored her and said to the man in black robe, "I hope you understand."
The man in black robe nodded slightly, feeling that there was no point in saying more. He said goodbye to Xu Shen and took Jiaoyue away.
"I thought he was a tough guy, but he turned out to be a coward."
Leaving the small building, Jiaoyue snorted coldly.
The black-robed man sighed, "Everyone has their own aspirations, and we can't force them. He has just tasted the taste of life, so it's normal for him not to want to give it up. After all, our great cause is indeed dangerous."
"Why are you still speaking for him?" Jiaoyue rolled her eyes slightly: "It's a good thing that such a person didn't join the organization, otherwise he would be tempted by a little power and become a traitor."
The man in black robe smiled bitterly. Men can understand other men best. He was not too surprised by Xu Shen's thoughts.
"Once he feels the oppression of the inner city, he will naturally want to join us." The man in black robe said, "Let the organization handle this matter."
"Hmph, maybe the organization will let me take action to deal with him." Jiaoyue sneered.
Since they already knew the existence of their organization, they would never let Xu Shen get away with it so easily.
The man in black robe said nothing and left with her.
…
…
Free Zone, in a manor somewhere in the north.
A figure wearing a thick black coat that covered his face slowly walked into the manor, like a nighthawk returning to its nest.
The hidden gazes in the manor quietly shifted away after noticing the logo on the man's cuffs.
Soon, the man came deep into the manor.
“You’re here.”
The priest sitting in front of the fireplace closed the book in his hand with a gentle expression.
"I heard that you invited him, but he refused." The man whispered.
The flickering light from the fireplace shone on his chin, flickering unsteadily.
The priest nodded slightly: "Yes, although I heard from Jiaoyue that his attitude was quite good, but he refused very firmly."
"How are you going to deal with this?"
The man said directly.
The priest looked at him and said, "This is your man. What are you going to do with him?"
"Now you know he's mine ?" The man's tone revealed a bit of dissatisfaction and coldness: "I told you before that I would take care of him, but you took the initiative to contact him. He is not mature yet. If I invite him now, I'm sure he will fail. But you chose to take the risk!"
"He has just become a personal guard. This is the most suitable time. Once his position is solidified in the future, it will be difficult to win him over." The priest explained his reasons and then asked, "Does he seem a little unusual to you?"
“This is a rare talent.”
The man said in a low voice: "I don't want to solve it with ordinary means."
"You think so highly of him?" The priest said with great interest, "Looking at his abilities and information, he doesn't seem to be anything special. As a person born with the power of the universe, it's not that rare for him to grow to the second state within a year. At most, it's pretty good."
"Ability cannot represent a person." The man said in a low voice: "Character, growth, change, these are more precious things... Anyway, how do you plan to deal with this matter now?"
"Persuade him. If he still doesn't agree, I don't mind making his life a little more difficult." The priest said indifferently.
The man was silent for a moment, as if he had expected this answer. After a while, he said, "Leave it to me. Give me a month, and I will try to get him to join."
The priest glanced at him, obviously not expecting the latter to think so highly of him. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, since you asked, I'll give you a month."
The man nodded slightly and said nothing more. The bridge of his nose that was revealed in the shadow of the fire was shrouded in darkness again, followed by his chin. Then the whole person seemed to disappear into the darkness and turned away.
…
…
Without the surveillance of those two people, Xu Shen could practice sword to his heart's content.
He gradually integrated the power of Dielangxu that he had just mastered into his sword swinging, slowly searching for that faint ray of spiritual light.
He felt that if it was fully integrated, his sword skills would be greatly improved.
"People don't cause trouble, trouble causes people."
While training, Xu Shen was thinking in his heart, wondering if this matter was over and how the other party would choose to treat him in the future. Maybe he should teach him a lesson?
Or just call it a day?
No matter what, Xu Shen felt that the best guarantee was to use stillness to overcome movement and increase his own strength.
As for informing the Queen Ant, Xu Shen had thought about it, but he still felt that such an organization was too crazy and he tried not to offend them first.
Perhaps the queen ant has long known about the existence of such an organization, but the latter is still able to exist. The reasons behind this are extremely complicated.
What's more, if I tell on them, it will most likely be known to the organization, which will further anger them.
When you cannot judge the enemy's strength and movements, the safest thing to do is to stay still.
Xu Shen has already injected 18 tubes of the high-grade purifying agent that was given to him as a gift in the past three days.
The power of the city is slowly increasing, but it is difficult to increase the combat power rapidly in a short period of time. Xu Shen can only seek a breakthrough from the secret technique.
After the practice, Xu Shen went downstairs to have dinner, then checked the surroundings. After making sure that no one was watching him, Xu Shen escaped into the ruins and left the small building.
This is his specific residence and can be found at any time.
Xu Shen crossed the bustling urban area from the market town and quietly came to an uninhabited house outside the suburbs.
There are many abandoned houses here. After the destruction caused by the ruins and the casualties, the houses have become dead houses.
Houses in the suburbs are not worth much, and occasionally homeless people will live there, or snakes and insects will make their homes there.
Xu Shen was sitting in a death house where a massacre had taken place. The blood here had dried up, there were spider webs and thick fog everywhere, and the windows of the house were broken.
After checking the surrounding environment and confirming that it was safe, Xu Shen was completely relieved.
"Do you want to go deeper into the fog?"
From behind, the voice of "Mom" came softly.
Xu Shen nodded slightly and said softly: "Let that brother go explore it."
"clever."
"Mom" praised.
Xu Shen smiled, and a blurry figure slowly appeared beside him. It was Mo Haiming's "brother". His figure was like a transparent man, standing beside Xu Shen.
Then, under Xu Shen's instructions, he slowly entered the thick fog.
Previously, under the nose of the old man in the tuxedo, Xu Shen did not let this "brother" show up, to avoid being seen by the old man and causing unnecessary trouble.
But now there is no worry.
With Xu Shen's own mental strength, when he touched the thick fog, he would feel a biting chill, as if he would be extinguished at any time and swallowed up by the thick fog.
But at this moment Xu Shen saw that the figure of this "brother" was moving through the thick fog without stopping at all. The thick fog was blocked outside by his body, protecting his body like a flesh body.
The corrosive force within the thick fog cannot be penetrated.
Xu Shen closed his eyes, and his "sight" seemed to shift to the body of this "brother", and his will seemed to enter into the other's body.
Then Xu Shen found himself in a thick fog.
It was pitch dark when I stretched out my hand, and the cold kept beating against my body, as if I was standing naked in the snow.
"His" body seemed to instinctively tense and contract, isolating the chill.
