Volume 2: The Church of Light Chapter 279 Integration
"Probably not."
Xu Shen was also unable to estimate, and said: "I can pass through reality, can you hide beside me? If not, I can arrange a place for you to wait for me."
Kuroyuki said quickly: "I can, I can wrap myself around my brother. Unless the king approaches, it will be difficult for him to detect me."
Hai Jue glanced at Hei Xue and said to Xu Shen: "If you don't mind, I can merge into your body. As long as you don't fight, even if the king approaches, he won't be able to detect it."
Xu Shen thought about her blood ability, thought about it and said, "Okay."
Kuroyuki pouted immediately: "Brother, I can also enter your body, just bear with it, or, brother, let me eat you, then we can merge..."
Xu Shen rolled his eyes in annoyance. Was he so jealous that he didn't recognize his relatives? The thought of dying popped up again.
"Don't talk nonsense." He hit Kuroyuki on the head.
Kuroxue covered his head with his hands, looking aggrieved. Did he say something wrong again?
"What about you?"
Xu Shen looked at Xiao Linglu.
Ling Lu said with a grin: "I can merge into my mother's body."
“Hmm…”
Pocket game?
"Then let's get started."
Xu Shen spread his hands and let two A-level creatures enter his body. This idea was a bit crazy, but considering that his "mother" and those friends were also in his body, it didn't seem strange.
Seeing that Xu Shen was under no psychological pressure at all, Hai Jue's gentle face revealed a smile. Then the hair on her shoulders turned blood red, and then stretched towards Xu Shen's body as if attracted, and wrapped around Xu Shen's arm.
A wriggling mass of something bulged inside his arm, crawling like a worm, and drilled towards Xu Shen's neck and chest.
Anyone who sees this scene will change color, but Xu Shen seems to have already gotten used to it.
Kuroxue frowned, seeming a little unhappy, but Xu Shen had already given her permission, and she couldn't stop him.
At this moment, Xu Shen seemed to sense something. He turned his head and saw Maeve's figure flying from a distance.
His eyes were calm, as if he didn't see it, and he continued to turn his head to look elsewhere.
"What?" Kuroyuki asked.
Looking at Maeve approaching, Xu Shen retracted his gaze and shook his head, "Nothing."
Maeve giggled and saw Hai Jue entering Xu Shen's body. She glanced at Hai Jue.
Hai Jue's smiling expression suddenly changed slightly, and seemed to stiffen for a moment, but soon returned to calm.
However, the amplitude of the movement of blood and water extending into Xu Shen's body had obviously shrunk a lot.
The blood was drawn out from Hai Jue like wool, and her body turned into strands. Then in a puff of smoke, all of it flowed into Xu Shen's body.
When he was about to enter, another part of her hair wrapped around Ling Lu's figure, shrinking to an extremely small size almost instantly, and brought him into Xu Shen's body.
Xu Shen watched the blood on his arm gradually sink beneath the skin, and then the movement of blood gradually subsided and disappeared. He lowered his head and looked around himself, but did not see any changes in his body.
It's just that there is a slightly cold feeling in the chest.
Xu Shen pulled open his armor and took a look. On the chest was a gentle and beautiful face outlined in blood.
Her eyes were lightly closed, revealing a virtuous and mysterious temperament.
Xu Shen tentatively reached out and touched it gently, asking, "Hai Jue?"
"I am here."
Hai Jue's voice sounded in Xu Shen's mind.
Xu Shen was slightly stunned. He didn't expect it to be so magical.
An A-level Xu really merged into his body, or to be more precise, two of them.
With Hai Jue's huge physique before, it is now shrunk in his body without any sense of incongruity. From the surface, his body has not changed at all.
"Let's go."
After confirming that Hai Jue was in his body, Xu Shen did not delay any further and spoke to Hei Xue on his shoulder.
Hei Xue put her head on Xu Shen's shoulder and pouted slightly when she heard the words, but she still obeyed and sent Xu Shen from the deep world to the shallow world, from where she could clearly see the illusory reality.
Kuroxue chose to hide in Xu Shen's arms, with only a strand of hair entangled around her, making it difficult to detect.
Xu Shen sneaked to the side of a street, avoiding the cameras observing in the market, and quietly emerged from the alley.
He straightened his clothes, walked calmly to the street, looked around, waited for a moment, and a taxi drove by.
Xu Shen waved.
The taxi stopped.
After getting in the taxi, Xu Shen gave the address Zhao Yinyue had given him.
The driver was a teenager, very young, but with a dark and rough complexion. He was a little surprised when he heard the address and said, "Guest, are you really going to this place?"
Xu Shen raised his eyebrows slightly: "What?"
"No, I don't mean to offend you. I just mean that if you take a taxi from here, the fare is very expensive, and that place is a restricted area. I can only take you outside. If you want to go in, you need to pay the toll yourself..." the young man said hurriedly.
"It doesn't matter."
Xu Shen said casually: "Go ahead."
The young man saw Xu Shen's attire and thought he didn't look like a poor man. He immediately smiled and said, "Okay."
He didn't want to miss such a big order.
As the vehicle moved, Xu Shen looked out the window at the scenery, and at this moment he felt a rare sense of tranquility.
This was the first time he calmed down and quietly appreciated the inner city.
Passing many streets along the way and seeing the lush vegetation on the roadside, Xu Shen discovered that there were almost no fog people here. They were all normal people with healthy bodies, young and old, walking and chatting on the roadside, walking their pets, and talking about family matters.
The atmosphere is very peaceful.
Compared to the mediocrity in the bottom city, this seems to be the real life.
No wonder... so many people yearn for it.
but……
A hint of gray flashed across Xu Shen's eyes from time to time. Through the ruins, Xu Shen's sight penetrated the buildings along the way, even the streets under his feet, and the passing railway cars.
Under the streets of this city, you can occasionally see intricate pipes and occasionally huge corridors.
In those corridors, there were hundreds and thousands of strong and shirtless fog people, pulling chains and dragging huge machines.
Some of the fog people sat on special machines, pedaling hard with their legs. Sizzling electric lights came out of the machines, and these electric lights were transmitted out and flowed into the buildings along the way above the surface.
Beneath the prosperity lies a darkness that never sees the light of day.
"How long have you been a driver?"
Xu Shen asked casually.
He saw that most of the taxis along the way were driven by teenagers and girls, and middle-aged people were rarely seen.
"Five years." The young man smiled when he heard Xu Shen's words, and said proudly, "Don't worry, sir. I started driving when I was 12 years old, and I have never had an accident."
"You're already working at such a young age?" Xu Shen was a little surprised. In Dicheng, the 12-year-old fog people were still training their skills.
"Guest, you are from the Forbidden City, right? You don't know that children from poor families like us all learn a skill and work in advance, so that we can earn enough money and marry a wife early."
The young man was mature and talkative beyond his age. He smiled and said, "If you want to continue your studies, you will need a place and a lot of money. However, the skills we learn, such as tea art, coffee making, and vehicle driving, only require a small amount of time and money to get a lot of rewards. The cost is just our cheap time."
"Time is not cheap." Xu Shen said.
"But for us, it's the cheapest and most useless thing."
The young man smiled and said, "Although there are many unfair things in the world, at least time is fair. No matter whether you are rich or poor, everyone has the same amount of time every day."
Xu Shen said: "If you sell your time for cheap compensation, then your time is not the same."
"But time is still your own." The boy said stubbornly.
Xu Shen didn't say anything more.
A drop of ink falling into clear water is a sin.
It is also a sin for wisdom to pass through a foolish mind.
"There are many people like us. We all went through this." The sensitive heart of the young man seemed to realize that Xu Shen was not satisfied with his answer, so he explained again.
Xu Shen nodded slightly and said nothing.
More does not mean correct, but more does mean helplessness.
"Have you ever considered living in Dicheng? If you earn enough money here, you should be able to live a more affluent life in Dicheng." Xu Shen said.
"Dicheng? Who would go to such a dirty place? Even if we starve to death here, we won't go there." The young man immediately shook his head, with a hint of arrogance in his words.
Xu Shen's eyes flickered slightly, and he said nothing more.
After a long time, the vehicle drove into a checkpoint.
There is a surrounding wall and a low wall in front of this checkpoint. Although it is called a low wall, it is more than ten meters high.
The guard at the door stopped the car, and the young man hurriedly said, "Sir, you need to show the toll."
"How many?"
"5,000 Luka Coins."
Xu Shen casually took out a stack of gold paper and handed it to the boy.
The young man was stunned, took it in a hurry, counted it quickly, and said hurriedly: "There are too many guests."
"The extra money is for your car fare."
Xu Shen leaned back in the back seat.
The young man was stunned. He looked at Xu Shen twice through the rearview mirror before he confirmed that Xu Shen was telling the truth and had no intention of taking it back. He couldn't help but get excited. He suppressed his excitement and thanked him repeatedly.
He drove through the checkpoint and took out five large Luka coins from his pocket and handed them over.
The vehicle was released soon .
As for the gold paper given by Xu Shen, he put it into his own pocket.
"Sir, if you want to use a car in the future, you can contact me anytime." The young man quickly took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Xu Shen.
Xu Shen took it casually.
Without looking at it any further, he turned his palm, covered it with internal force, and penetrated through the car door. When no one was around, he casually threw the business card out.
The flying business card was left behind by the vehicle's exhaust.
Not long after, the boy drove the car into a secluded street.
"Sir, we have arrived at the place you requested." The young man was extremely polite, even a little flattering.
Xu Shen looked up and saw a private clinic in front of him.
Looking at the name, it’s the same as what Zhao Yinyue said.
"good."
Xu Shen got up, got out of the car and entered the private clinic.
There was a flash of power in his eyes, and the clinic in front of him flickered like an electric current, revealing its true appearance.
There were not many people in the clinic, only seven or eight, but there was a bald man on the third floor.
When Xu Shen looked up, the bald man seemed to have noticed something and looked .
At this time, the evil force in Xu Shen's eyes had subsided, and he walked into the clinic.
"Hello, welcome."
Someone dressed as a doctor immediately came to the counter and asked with a smile, "How can I help you?"
"I'm looking for Father Jono." Xu Shen said.
The smile on the doctor's face suddenly changed. He stared at Xu Shen and said, "Do you have a letter of introduction?"
"No, I'm here to see a doctor." Xu Shen said.
The doctor relaxed and shook his head, "I'm sorry, Dr. Jono isn't here."
"oh?"
Xu Shen said calmly: "Who is the one on the third floor?"
The doctor was stunned and looked at Xu Shen suspiciously: "What are you talking about?"
Xu Shen didn't speak to him anymore, but turned around slowly.
Behind him, a figure was walking down the stairs. It was the bald old man from the third floor.
When the old man saw Xu Shen, his eyes were somewhat deep, and he said: "Since you have come from afar, please come up and have a seat."
Xu Shen's calm eyes suddenly froze, and all the muscles in his body tensed up in an instant, but quickly softened the next moment. He smiled and nodded, then followed the bald old man.
The old man turned around and walked in front, taking Xu Shen to the third floor.
Entering the office where the bald old man was, Xu Shen looked around casually. The bald old man pointed to a reclining chair next to him and said, "Sit down."
Xu Shen sat down on the recliner and looked at the old man with interest: "Are you Father Jono?"
"The title of priest has not been used for a long time." The bald old man looked at Xu Shen and said, "From your accent, you are from Dicheng, right?"
"accent?"
Xu Shen suddenly recalled that there was indeed some difference between his accent and that of the taxi boy.
The young man was not alert, probably because he thought he was a big shot in the Forbidden Area.
"Is it convenient?" Xu Shen looked quietly at Father Jono in front of him.
Yono seemed to see through Xu Shen's thoughts and said softly, "Young man, don't be so murderous, otherwise it will be easy to lose control. Since you found me, you must have been introduced by someone you know, so I won't refuse."
Xu Shen nodded: "Thank you."
"If you find my second state, it means that I am either on the verge of losing control and can no longer control my abilities and will go berserk at any time, or I want to attack the king and test my mental state."
Yono turned around and sat on the high chair next to him, saying, "From the look of you, it should be the second one."
"Um."
Xu Shen did not deny it and asked, "Does attacking the king have a lot to do with mental state?"
“Not much.”
Yono answered simply: "It has only a slight impact, but the probability of becoming a king is already very low, less than 5%, and the impact of mental state is probably 2%."
That’s almost halfway…Xu Shen thought to himself, this impact is big enough.
"How is the test? Is there anything I need to do? Or do you write the questions and let me choose?" Xu Shen asked.
Yono smiled and said, "Don't be impatient. You should first understand my charges. The test fee is 10 million per time. If you are on the verge of losing control and want me to help you adjust, the fee will be a little higher."
"So expensive?" Xu Shen was a little surprised: "Aren't you a priest?"
“I’m a doctor now.”
