Volume 2: The Church of Light Chapter 253 "Family Vote"
Xu Shen stared at her, and seeing that she was looking at him without any hesitation, he immediately understood what she meant.
"Okay, from now on you are mine. Wherever I pass, that is the direction you should draw your swords." Xu Shen said softly.
Xia Jingxiang nodded seriously: "I understand."
Feng Qing, Lin Xiao and others were secretly surprised and looked at Xu Shen deeply. From the tone he spoke , it was obvious that he was planning to establish a private army.
But they didn't dare say more.
Xu Shen asked Wei Yan to take the others to familiarize themselves with the environment. Any tasks in the bureau could also be solved by Lin Xiao and other guards, including some B-level tasks that were originally unable to be handled and were hidden.
B-level markets are active in every district, but some districts have concealed their information.
The reason is simple: once it is announced, it needs to be resolved.
To solve the problem, it is necessary to mobilize personnel from the ruins or even request external assistance.
If he frequently requests external assistance, it will affect his ability and authority as the director, and the personnel he mobilizes to fight the ruins will also suffer casualties.
Under this system, cover-up becomes another path.
Unless the truth comes out.
It was only after Xu Shen took office that he realized that some areas had concealed the existence of Class B ruins to an incredible degree, including the Black Light District, which also had the same history in the historical files before Director Liu.
Simply put, the price paid to conceal the existence of the B-level ruins is greater than the amount of slaughter and eating on the B-level ruins road...
Now that the Queen Ant has temporarily left the Snow Palace, the Royal Guards are divided into five districts. There may be unrest at any time in the future. Xu Shen needs to completely control the Black Light District in his own hands.
Otherwise, if he does not build a dam for himself on the front line where the waves are sweeping in, he will be smashed to pieces.
Naturally, these B-level market locations can no longer be left alone.
With the joint efforts of Lin Xiao and other personal guards, Xu Shen believed that it would not be difficult to resolve the B-level ruins, unless the intelligence was wrong.
"You go out too."
Xu Shen said as he looked at Lou Haiyin who remained in the room.
Lou Haiyin was slightly stunned, glanced at Xia Jingxiang, said nothing more, nodded, and walked out.
Xia Jingxiang also immediately realized that the status of this girl in the royal guard seemed to be somewhat different from that of other royal guards.
"What are your abilities?"
When Xia Jingxiang was the only one left in the room, Xu Shen asked bluntly.
Ability is privacy. Exposing your ability is like revealing your heart.
That's why Xu Shen needed to keep Xia Jingxiang's secret, even though they were both working for him.
It is also a test for Xia Jingxiang.
"I call it the 'family vote.'
Xia Jingxiang did not hesitate, but looked up at Xu Shen and said softly: "I will pull the target into my 'family' and then vote to veto it. If the target, me, and my family think that the other party is a burden, then the other party will disappear directly..."
Xu Shen was stunned.
"Is your ability of the trait type?" Xu Shen asked.
Xia Jingxiang thought: "I checked the information in the bureau and it should be."
Xu Shen tapped his fingers lightly on the table and thought: "Is the ability only one-on-one?"
"Um."
Xia Jingxiang said: "Although I can pull them into my ability range as a group, once they are in my ability range, they will all get one vote. My family is more fair, so they can make the most correct choice, but as a group goal, it is easy to have a unanimous vote, which is a threat to me."
"So what happens if the votes lean toward the other side?"
"Then I will disappear..." Xia Jingxiang said after a moment of silence.
Xu Shen couldn't help but look at her. This ability could either cause death or injury.
"Are there any tie tickets?"
"have."
Xia Jingxiang said: "Once the ability is activated, I will not have the right to cancel it, because I am just a member of the family. I can only represent my own vote. Therefore, if you don't want to fight to the death, you can choose to persuade my family to tie the vote."
Being able to persuade family members... that can't be called fair... but Xu Shen knew that the family members she was talking about were probably the beings transformed by her ability... different from his own.
"How many people are there in your family?"
"Dad, Mom, brother, and myself."
Xia Jingxiang's eyes flickered slightly, as if she remembered something.
That means it’s 4 votes...Xu Shen’s eyes flickered. In a one-on-one fight, this is indeed a crushing ability, very powerful.
Xu Shen suddenly thought of Guo Peng's "money buying" ability. If they fought, could Guo Peng's money buying... buy the tickets from her family?
Thinking of the terrible temptation that money can buy, Xu Shen's eyes changed slightly.
"Can I try it?"
Xu Shen said to Xia Jingxiang.
Xia Jingxiang was slightly startled, hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Okay."
Afterwards, Xu Shen saw three figures appear beside Xia Jingxiang. Two of the larger figures, a man and a woman, stood behind her. They seemed to be a young couple.
They were holding hands with a boy of about six or seven years old and standing next to Xia Jingxiang. They looked... a harmonious and happy family.
The next moment, Xu Shen saw Xia Jingxiang raised her hand, and then his vision suddenly changed and he entered a dim room.
There was a single light in the room, shining overhead, and in front of me was a long table.
There is endless darkness all around.
Xia Jingxiang and her family stood across the table, while Xu Shen was alone.
"Xu Shen, you are a member of my family now. Let's count the family spending votes this month. Whoever spends the most money will be a burden! " Xia Jingxiang's voice became a little colder.
Xu Shen was a little surprised. The voting option was to spend money?
Is there any other option? Or is this another prerequisite for ability?
"I only spent 3,289 Luca coins this month," said Xia Jingxiang.
Xu Shen wanted to say that he only spent one dollar, but when he opened his mouth he said, "I spent 129,000 this month."
Xu Shen was stunned.
Did you spend so much money yourself?
Why don’t I remember?
Could it be a subconscious record?
While Xu Shen was thinking, the family members around Xia Jingxiang had raised their hands, and the young parents pointed their fingers at Xu Shen.
But Xia Jingxiang chose to point at herself.
Xu Shen had the urge to raise his hand, but pointed at himself as well. However, after seeing Xia Jingxiang's choice, he understood that the other party wanted to end the vote in a tie.
Therefore, he had to point the finger at Xia Jingxiang, even if he ignored the facts in the end.
But there is a younger brother next to him.
Xu Shen looked at the boy next to him.
But the boy chose to raise his hands and look at his sister.
This action seems to declare... abstention from voting?
Then, the darkness around him faded away, the long table disappeared, Xia Jingxiang's family became more distant from him, and he returned to reality.
It's as if nothing happened.
Xu Shen was a little surprised and looked at Xia Jingxiang: "Can the voting question you just raised be changed to something else? Why do I remember how much money I spent?"
"In the family, your memory will tell you the correct answer," said Xia Jingxiang.
Xu Shen suddenly realized.
"The voting question can be replaced with anything. For example, if you are a man, my question can be how many times you have a crush on a woman... In this way, you will definitely have more than me."
"Or maybe the strongest person in the family is a burden, and when I meet someone I think is strong, I would choose to ask this question," Xia Jingxiang said.
Xu Shen groaned. Being strong is a burden? This question really ignored the facts and even ignored the logic of reality.
In other words, as long as Xia Jingxiang can see the obvious difference between herself and the other party, she will be able to make corresponding questions and judgments, and she can even control the votes of her family.
What a barbaric family... Xu Shen sighed in his heart, and suddenly thought, if he had let "Mom" and the others participate just now... would he have a lot more votes?
