Volume 2: The Church of Light Chapter 236: Testing
"I don't dare."
Xu Shen buried his head even lower.
"Where is the golden apple?" asked the queen ant.
Xu Shen hesitated and said, "That...I ate it."
The queen ant smiled and said, "It's all eaten. No wonder you're willing to tell me about it."
Xu Shen looked at the Queen Ant angrily and asked, "Your Highness, these anti-internal troops are so rampant, should we stop them?"
"Prevent?"
The queen ant smiled and said, "How can we stop them? Even if we kill this batch, another batch will be born. Facing oppression and injustice, there will always be awakened people who want to resist."
Xu Shen was stunned. From the Queen Ant's tone, it seemed that she not only did not feel disgusted with the anti-internal army, but she seemed to admire them quite a lot?
Could it be that... the queen ant is related to them?
Xu Shen thought of Liu Jichuan, who was also a good player in both black and white.
Could it be that the boss behind this anti-internal army is the Queen Ant?
This possibility is not impossible. Even if the anti-internal army comes to recruit guards privately... isn't this also a way to help the queen ant test her guards?
Seeing Xu Shen's stunned expression, the queen ant said, "Now that you have eaten their apples and are unwilling to join them, you have specially informed me of the news. Do you want me to protect you?"
Xu Shen was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat and said quickly, "I dare not, I am just reporting the truth."
The hall was extremely quiet. Xu Shen felt the gaze from above his head staring at him. It was full of oppression and made him feel as if he was being stared at by the abyss.
He appeared nervous and apprehensive, but he was actually quite calm inside.
Soon, the gaze disappeared, and the queen ant said calmly: "You are my personal guard, and I should protect you. But you ate someone's food, so you should either give it back or find a way to make amends. Since you are my personal guard, I may not take your life."
Xu Shen was stunned. He looked up at the Queen Ant with suspicion and said, "Sooner or later, such an organization will cause chaos. Your Highness, don't you plan to intervene?"
"Asshole!"
The woman next to him shouted, "Who the hell are you? How dare you question the ant queen?"
"I dare not."
Xu Shen lowered his head quickly, but he understood in his heart that the anti-internal army had been entrenched in the Termite City, and the Queen Ant had known about it for a long time and had turned a blind eye to it.
Even the queen ant herself may be one of the masterminds behind this.
In this way, the anti-internal army situation can only be eased and cannot cause greater conflicts.
"Unrest has existed since ancient times. In peaceful times, there will always be people who are restless, and in restless times, there will always be people who yearn for peace. This is the law of nature and an incurable disease."
The queen ant whispered, "You just need to be yourself. Don't join them. Don't get involved in their mess. As for what they do and how they want to die, just let them do it."
Xu Shen nodded. From the words of the queen ant, he could tell that she and the anti- internal army should be living in peace with each other under hidden rules, and the anti-internal army did not dare to provoke the queen ant easily.
"Back off."
"yes."
Xu Shen stood up and slowly walked out of the hall.
"These guys are really restless..." After Xu Shen left, the queen ant looked towards the window. Her clear eyes seemed to see a very far place: "But it's good this way. Chaos is good. The more chaotic, the more interesting it is..."
…
Xu Shen returned to where the guards gathered and saw Wang Cheng and others waiting for him.
"You're done?"
Wang Cheng glanced at Xu Shen and said coldly, "I'll say it again. If it's not something very important, it's best not to rashly go to the queen ant. Otherwise, if the queen ant blames you, the whole team will have to bear the consequences with you."
Xu Shen nodded.
Seeing that he didn't talk back or argue, Wang Cheng didn't say anything more. After all, Xu Shen was also a two-state person. Although he was a team member, which two-state person didn't have a temper?
"Set off."
The Royal Guard’s exclusive vehicle was waiting outside, and everyone got on one after another.
Xu Shen thought of the woman Xu in the library. He wondered if she was still there, but he had no chance to see her this time. It was better this way. He tried to keep a distance from Xu so that he could live longer.
The vehicle drove out of the city and headed towards the Nightingale district in the west city.
In the car, Lin Xiao curiously asked, "What are you looking for the queen ant for?"
"A little personal matter." Xu Shen looked at them. According to the Queen Ant, they had also received invitations from the Anti-Internal Army.
Perhaps it was because I told the ant about the golden apple that the queen ant casually told me this news.
Lin Xiao gave a thumbs up: "Awesome! You don't know the temper of the ant queen. The captain is right. It's best not to look for her in the future. We are not afraid of being punished, but we are afraid that you will be beaten to death."
Xu Shen was surprised and asked, "Is the queen ant so bad-tempered?"
"Hush."
Lin Xiao was startled and said hurriedly: "Speak softly, can you speak more tactfully?"
"...The queen ant's temper isn't that bad, right?" Xu Shen whispered.
"..." Lin Xiao was speechless, with a look of complete submission on his face, and leaned weakly on the chair: "Just pretend I never communicated with you."
"Let's not talk about this anymore." Han Pengfei said, also worried about being heard by the queen ant. After all, no one knew the queen ant's abilities, and she could walk in the deep ruins. Even if she stood in front of them, they wouldn't be able to see her. It would be awkward if she happened to pass by.
"Oh yeah, about the attack."
Xu Shen looked at Lou Haiyin who was sitting on another row of chairs.
"It's nothing, actually. We were just attacked by a king, or an A-level one at that. Our 6th Division happened to be on break that day, and we only heard about it on the way. As you know, we can't get involved in battles at the king level. We are the queen ant's personal guards, but in fact we can only help the queen ant share some ordinary events." Lou Haiyin said.
Xu Shen nodded, and the king fought directly in the deep level. No matter how many two-states there were, they could only stare blankly.
"Just the impact of the battle killed a lot of guards, and the 2nd Division was almost wiped out." Lou Haiyin said with lingering fear: "Fortunately, we were not on duty that day..."
You are really loyal... Xu Shen glanced at her. Sure enough, those who get paid are very self-conscious. Who the hell would work so hard?
"There is only one king in our Termite City, the Queen Ant, so the one who attacked the Queen Ant must not be Xu?" Xu Shen asked curiously.
Lin Xiao said helplessly: "Have you forgotten that there is an inner city? Besides, there are seven other cities. They are not friendly to us. If we can assassinate the queen ant, won't our Termite City be merged?"
Xu Shen nodded. It turned out that this was the basis of his speculation. He thought there were some special means of reconnaissance and identification.
At this time, the vehicle had entered the Nightingale area.
Soon, the vehicle entered the main road and arrived in front of the Secret Bureau in the Nightingale District.
The director of the Xumi Bureau seemed to have received the news long ago and was waiting outside with a group of senior leaders.
As the vehicle stopped, the middle-aged director, who looked to be in his 40s, came forward to greet them personally, shook Wang Cheng's hand and exchanged greetings.
Xu Shenxu opened and closed his eyes and saw that this director was also in two states.
The senior leaders next to them are just in their initial stages.
"Don't be so grand. We are mainly here to understand the situation. Don't make it seem like we are here to celebrate. We are here to do business." Wang Cheng looked at the warm atmosphere at the scene and said with a slight wave of his hand.
"Okay, okay, let's go in first."
The director’s surname is Wang, and his name is Wang Qing. He looks very enthusiastic and friendly.
After leading everyone to the reception room in the bureau, Wang Cheng did not exchange pleasantries and went straight to the point asking for the hunting information and intelligence of the Ruin Beasts in West City.
Wang Qing was very polite. He ordered someone to bring up the information, and then carefully inquired: "Captain Wang, are you coming to Xicheng this time to investigate the hunting of Ruin Beasts?"
Wang Cheng looked up at the other people around him. Wang Qing immediately understood and waved his hand for everyone to leave.
"Director Wang, the hunting of the ruins beasts is just a sideline investigation. Is there something you can't hide?" Wang Cheng said intentionally or unintentionally.
Wang Qing immediately smiled and said, "Look at what Captain Wang said. We don't have any secrets. But you came at the right time. We do have some small difficulties that we need you to solve."
After saying that, he waved outside the reception room.
Not long after, two people entered the reception room carrying boxes.
The box was placed on the table. When it was opened, it was filled with neatly packed purifiers.
Obviously, these are the "small difficulties" that Director Wang mentioned need to be solved.
