Volume 2: The Church of Light Chapter 207 Arrogance
"Who are they?"
Xu Shen looked at the two people behind Xue Haining and was a little confused. Were they the helpers he had found?
"apprentice."
Xue Haining seemed to see what Xu Shen was thinking , and snorted coldly: "It just so happens that they are free, let them come over and see for themselves, don't worry."
"You have a disciple?" Xu Shen was a little surprised. The woman in front of him looked aloof and aloof, but she actually accepted a disciple? And this man and woman were obviously two different types.
"What do you mean?"
Xue Haining raised an eyebrow: "Do you think I'm not qualified to be your disciple?"
"...I didn't think so. I just didn't expect that with your status, you would accept disciples." Xu Shen explained.
"This is not surprising. I also need help around me. If you are interested, I can accept you as my apprentice." Xue Haining said and glanced at Xu Shen.
But wasn't I half your master before... Xu Shen was speechless and shook his head, "Then there's no need."
Xue Haining snorted coldly and said, "Let's not waste any more time talking nonsense. Let's get ready quickly. Xiao Jing, give him the armor."
The young man next to him nodded and handed the box to Xu Shen.
Xu Shen took the box and opened it, and saw neatly stacked armor.
He picked it up and looked at it carefully, then compared it with his body, then looked at Xue Haining and asked, "Have you learned it?"
"Of course." Xue Haining said indifferently: "It's just a simple trick. You don't need to spend too much time on it. I have improved it. This time I want you to test it."
Why does it feel like he is here to provoke me... Anyway, it's fine as long as I get the armor. Xu Shen said, "Can I try it on first?"
Xue Haining waved his hand impatiently.
Bang.
Xu Shen closed the door and tried changing in the room.
Xue Haining's eyelids twitched and he held back his anger.
In the room, Xu Shen was about to put on his armor when the communication suddenly rang.
Picking it up and seeing that it was Director Liu, Xu Shen couldn't help but feel a little helpless and said, "Director Liu."
"There is a mission!"
Director Liu's voice was quite solemn, and he said, "A large ruin appeared over on Lanwei Street. It is suspected to be Class B, or possibly Class A. It is being destroyed and needs to be dealt with immediately."
Xu Shen was startled. He didn't expect it to be an emergency mission. He asked, "Can't you determine the level of the Xu? If it's A-level, I can't handle it."
"It's impossible to be sure. We are dispatching a military ruins measuring instrument, but the measured data will be biased. You still need to be careful. Chu Bai has already gone there. I have also applied for reinforcements from the General Administration. You should go there quickly and take care of Chu Bai. Just limit the range of activities of the ruins and try to delay it until the reinforcements arrive." Liu Jichuan said quickly.
Xu Shen felt the seriousness of the matter, agreed and hung up the communicator.
He glanced at the armor in his hand and put it on quickly.
This armor looks like an inky skeleton, with sharp bone spurs protruding from the shoulders and waist, making it look quite hideous.
The size was a little tight, so Xu Shen could only make do with it. He knocked on the armor and felt a bone-like coating on it. A faint smell emanated from the armor. Xu Shen was very familiar with this smell, it was the smell of Xu Shen.
Pushing open the door, Xu Shen looked at Xue Haining, who had a cold expression on her face, and immediately said, "Sorry, I just received a message that there is an urgent task."
"Um?"
Xue Haining raised an eyebrow and said, "Are you going to back down at the last minute?"
"It's really a mission." Xu Shen smiled bitterly: "If you don't believe me, come with me to take a look. I heard it's a big ruin, and it may also be an A-level existence. It just so happens that you are here, how about getting rid of it together?"
"You wish, you want us to help you for free?" Xue Haining said unhappily.
Xu Shen said helplessly: "Aren't you from the headquarters of the Ruins Secret Bureau? Killing the Ruins is our duty, how can it be free?"
"Stop talking nonsense like that." Xue Haining said unhappily, "It's hard for us to solve a suspected A-level ruin. I'm not afraid. Unless it's really A-level, it won't be a problem to get out. You'll die if you go there. Can't you investigate it clearly? What level is it?"
"The bureau is dispatching military ruins measuring instruments, but it will take time," Xu Shen said.
"Does this need to be mobilized? Doesn't your bureau have the equipment?" Xue Haining asked back.
"Is it equipped for the headquarters?" Xu Shen was somewhat helpless. "Maybe we are a branch office."
"Then let's wait until the intelligence is investigated clearly." Xue Haining thought for a moment, glanced at the two people beside him, and said, "Since we are here, let's go together."
"Um."
Both of them nodded, not daring to refute her words.
Xu Shen breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Thank you very much."
"Don't be happy too soon." Xue Haining said coldly: "If it is detected to be a real A-level Xu, at least a few more people will be transferred from the headquarters. Even if we can solve it, there will be heavy casualties. The second state of the Xu Secret Bureau is not so easy to cultivate."
Xu Shen nodded, "I understand."
"Let's go, Xiaojing, go drive." Xue Haining ordered.
The young man next to him nodded, turned and went downstairs.
Soon, everyone got on the bus.
Xue Haining: "Address."
Xu Shen immediately told the address that Liu Jichuan had told him.
The young man named Xiaojing drove over immediately.
The vehicle was driving normally on the road, and it stopped when it encountered a traffic light without being in a hurry.
"Ask the bureau about the situation and see if their measuring instrument has been transferred over there?" Xue Haining seemed extremely calm, without the slightest panic or anxiety.
Xu Shen could only call Liu Jichuan to inquire.
"It will take a while, a quarter of an hour."
"It's three blocks ahead." Xiao Jing said after looking at the navigation.
Xue Haining said calmly: "No hurry, drive slowly and go check out the scene first."
Xu Shen asked: "Aren't you going to take action?"
"The Detection Instrument hasn't arrived yet, and the intelligence isn't clear enough, how can we take action?" Xue Haining glanced at Xu Shen unhappily: "Is this how your branch works?"
Xu Shen was speechless. Soon the vehicle drove onto an adjacent street and the ground suddenly shook.
Several people opened and closed their eyes at the same time, and saw the building in front of them become illusory. The scene on another street behind the building emerged. A huge beast about six or seven meters tall and as big as an elk was walking on the street. On both sides of the beast's body, there were huge blood-red eyes and soft tentacles more than ten meters long waving.
This soft tentacles were like retractable internal organs. As it swung, it rolled up pedestrians on the street and stuffed them directly into the strange mouth under it.
On the streets, many vehicles collided with each other, smoke came out of the front of the cars, and a large number of pedestrians fled in panic.
Only a few fog people were left, groping their way forward along the guide ropes on the street. The panicked screams and loud noises around them made them tremble and huddle in place. Facing the disaster, they dared neither run nor move.
At this moment, on the buildings on both sides of the street, Xu Shen saw some ruins-breaking teams that had arrived in position in advance. Among them, people from their Team 1 were also there. Xia Jingxiang, Ye Shou, Luo Hua and others were also there. They came to the sky above the buildings on both sides through the ruins-breaking devices and fired cannon-like smoke bombs to interfere with the actions of the ruins.
On the other side, the two newly assembled teams were also cooperating at the other location.
Xu Shen glanced around and saw Chu Bai giving orders at the side of a building.
"Such a strong force!"
Wang Jing, who was driving, changed his expression slightly. Such power could be top-level B-class, or even quasi-A-class.
"Stop here." Xue Haining ordered.
The vehicle braked to a stop.
There were also many people fleeing in panic on this street, and the sudden brakes of the cars made sharp and piercing sounds.
Xu Shen was about to get off the car when Xue Haining asked, "Where are you going?"
"?"
Xu Shen turned and looked at her.
"The detector hasn't arrived yet, and the intelligence hasn't been investigated yet. Why are you so eager to get out? What if the monster is A-level?" Xue Haining asked.
Xu Shen couldn't help but ask: "Don't you see it is slaughtering?"
"I see." Xue Haining said with a cold expression, "So you want to join the group that is being slaughtered?"
"Are we just going to wait here?" Xu Shen couldn't help but said angrily.
"What else?"
Xue Haining snorted coldly: "If you want fewer deaths, let the intelligence department in your bureau act faster!"
Xu Shen's face was gloomy, and he didn't say anything. He just picked up the communicator and continued to ask Liu Jichuan about the situation.
Wang Jing glanced at Xu Shen and shook his head secretly. These guys in the branch were too enthusiastic. No wonder there were always second-state casualties in the branch. Unlike the headquarters, they would only have personnel in place when intelligence was in place, otherwise they would never show up. The final sacrifices and casualties would be recorded first in the Intelligence Department, so they dared not slack off.
"If you want to help others, you must first ensure your own safety," Xue Haining said.
Although her expression was cold, her eyes were much calmer when she looked at Xu Shen.
If... someone like him had come forward and rushed in regardless of the consequences, perhaps they would not have died... Xue Haining clenched her slender fingers slightly.
On the scene, on a high building.
When Chu Bai heard what Liu Jichuan said on the communicator, he hung up the call with a sullen face and looked around, but did not see Xu Shen.
asshole!
Chu Bai clenched his fists. It was such a serious matter, and Xu Shen was still dawdling and hadn’t arrived yet?
Or did he arrive but not show up?
Chu Bai was angry, and he also wanted to dawdle and arrive later, but he was the person in charge of the bureau, and he had to start from the bureau, and the route and time were fixed, so there was no way he could dawdle.
"Quick, suppress it with the fog, don't let it run away!"
Chu Bai picked up the command communication and shouted, "Tell the patrol office to block off the five surrounding blocks and prohibit all traffic!"
Thick fog bombs were fired, blocking the movement of the beast. The bombs hit it, not causing much damage, but made the beast feel angry and annoyed.
"Has the Cexu Instrument arrived?!" Chu Bai roared.
Not long after, people from the Intelligence Department finally arrived.
A huge military vehicle was carrying an instrument with a diameter of two or three meters. Two intelligence personnel were operating the instrument at a rapid speed. Soon, a red light appeared on the receiving line of the instrument.
"The measuring instrument has arrived." Xue Haining said.
Xu Shen looked at the huge device. This was the equipment that would only be used when facing Daxu. The Light Chasing Club also had one. It was said that it was an obsolete product obtained from the military through some channel.
The detection area is extremely narrow, so it is mostly used to detect dead Daxu, and it is difficult to capture living Daxu.
The instrument in front of him was obviously well maintained. As the red light of the receiving line lit up, several red lights soon shot onto various parts of the body of the beast, collecting data.
Soon, the analyzed data appeared on the device.
Xu Shen received a communication from Lao Liu, intelligence detection, quasi-A-level ruins.
Xu Shen informed Xue Haining and the other two of this information. Xue Haining nodded slightly and said, "Okay, we can take action now, but don't be careless. This kind of equipment may not be accurate. Some Xu may hide Xu power fluctuations. They may be real A-level, but we can only detect quasi-A-level data. Be careful at all times."
Wang Jing glanced at his master. Although her expression was cold, she said so much to Xu Shen, which showed that she had a good impression of this person.
"Walk!"
Xu Shen couldn't wait to get out of the car, and the four figures disappeared into the ruins.
Some passersby saw the four people suddenly disappear out of thin air and screamed in fear.
The four of them jumped over the vehicles and pedestrians on the roadside and rushed into the street next to them.
Xu Shen brought Xue Haining and the other two to Chu Bai.
"Old Chu."
Chu Bai turned around when he heard the voice and saw that it was Xu Shen. He breathed a sigh of relief, but then he couldn't help but become secretly angry. The information came out just after it was released. It seemed that Xu Shen had arrived a long time ago and was just hiding aside.
This kid is getting more cunning the more he learns.
"Who are these three?"
Chu Bai looked at the three people around Xu Shen and found that they were all in two states.
"Friends from the General Administration." Xu Shen briefly mentioned it and then asked, "What's the situation now?"
Can't you see it yourself? Chu Bai was angry and felt a little uncomfortable. He knew that Xu Shen had become a personal guard, but he didn't expect that he was mixed up with Ertai from the headquarters. It seemed that they had a good relationship.
This kind of connections made him secretly jealous, but on the surface he showed a worried look and said, "I'm not optimistic, Brother Xu. I just received intelligence that this is a quasi-A-level Daxu. We may not be able to handle it, but if we continue like this, the casualties will be too high. I'll go first, how about you support me?"
"Let me take the lead, you stay in command, and you come to support and let them assist me." Xu Shen said immediately.
Chu Bai opened his mouth slightly, wanting to say more, but Xue Haining waved his hand and said, "It's not that troublesome, we can just do it together."
Chu Bai couldn't help but look at the cold woman, only to see her tear off her coat, revealing a close-fitting armor that matched her snake-like waist. Combined with her icy face, she looked quite heroic.
"Okay." Xu Shen agreed and immediately drew his sword.
The sword's edge had many gaps and cracks, from the previous battle with Daxu, it had not had time to repair it, and the new Zhanxu sword had not yet been forged.
Seeing Xu Shen's sword, several people were stunned and couldn't help but look at Xu Shen.
Your sword is so broken, and you still come to Zhanxu?
Xue Haining said unhappily, "Are you planning to use this junk to spar with me?"
"It's just a competition, this won't affect it." Xu Shen smiled.
"Innocent."
Xue Haining snorted coldly, and then said: "You two come with me, you support them from the side, use your Xusi to protect them, and by the way, I will let you see my results."
Although she didn't have the chance to learn from Xu Shen, she didn't mind taking this opportunity to show off her own practice.
As golden ripples emerged, her figure rushed out rapidly, and a golden concert hall extended in mid-air.
The violinist and cellist woven from golden power took their positions in the void and surrounded Xue Haining.
"If it really is a quasi-A-level beast, I'll let you see how it kills alone." Xue Haining's voice revealed a strong sense of confidence, just like the arrogance when performing martial arts in front of the queen ant.
Xu Shen was speechless when he saw the undisguised arrogance on her face. This girl was really arrogant.
