Volume 2: The Church of Light Chapter 284: The Church of Light
"A-level ruins..."
Yono and the woman were both stunned, looking in horror at the beast that seeped out of Xu Shen's shoulder.
For a moment, they had the illusion that the young man in front of them was a human puppet possessed by a ruined beast!
Weird young man, terrifying ruins.
What kind of guy had they provoked?
"Brother, I'm going to start." Kuroyuki said with a smile.
Xu Shen didn't say anything.
Not saying anything means tacit consent.
Kuroxue laughed like a silver bell, and pushed forward by countless black hairs, he quickly pounced towards the two of them.
Both Yono and the woman woke up in shock, and turned around and ran away in fear!
Mind prison!!
Yono's eyes turned red, and he used all his abilities to buy himself time to escape.
The distorted mental power penetrated into the body of the beast in front of him like a sharp cone, but the snow-white, sweetly smiling face smiled even more intensely, without being affected at all.
"My head... is here."
Another bunch of black hair suddenly intertwined and condensed, forming a petite snow-white face in the blink of an eye, showing a sly smile to Yono.
Jono's pupils contracted.
The black hair extended rapidly within his sight, and with a bang, it instantly pierced through his forehead.
Yono's body stiffened as if he had been electrocuted, and then a large amount of black hair gushed out from his mouth, nose, ears, and eyes, like inky spring water seeping out, flowing all over the ground.
Yono's whole body melted under the entanglement of black hair.
The woman on the other side had already rushed to the door of the secret room, her face pale and bloodless. She grabbed the door handle and pulled it quickly, but a large amount of black hair extended from the wall. As soon as the door was opened, it was held down by the palm of black hair.
“Don’t kill…”
The woman was horrified and turned around to beg.
The last thing I saw was the young man's unmoved and indifferent face.
In a blink of an eye, blood splattered on the door frame, and then a large amount of blood flowed along the edge of the door.
Strands of black hair fell, soaked in blood, as if sucking it.
The secret room fell into silence.
On Xu Shen's shoulder, a snow-white face with black silk interwoven into it stretched out slightly, and came close to Xu Shen's neck, with an expression of flattery and seeking credit: "Brother, are they all mine?"
"Leave some for me."
Xu Shen said.
"Hmm..." Kuroyuki showed a hint of reluctance, but then smiled and nodded in agreement.
…
…
A purchasing vehicle was speeding through the inner city.
Inside the car, Lou Haiyin placed her hands on the window, the wilderness wind blew across her cheeks and lifted her hair behind her ears.
The vehicle ran over a stone, and the slight bump brought Lou Haiyin back to his senses.
Just at this moment, the communicator in her arms rang.
Lou Haiyin took out the communication from his combat uniform. Seeing the name and number on it, his expression suddenly became a little serious. He answered the call seriously:
"team leader."
"How long?"
“Soon.”
"good."
Communication ended.
Lou Haiyin saw the high wall that separated the inner city from the bottom city. The wall was covered with a thin mist, blocking the view from above.
What would happen if there was no wall?
Soon, the purchasing convoy drove out of the high wall.
The inspection procedures for leaving the inner city were much more casual than those for entering. After exiting the passage, Lou Haiyin looked around and soon saw a lonely figure on the street in the distance.
Standing there quietly, I felt isolated from the world.
Lou Haiyin was suddenly touched and felt that the figure was particularly lonely.
But what she couldn't see was that next to that figure stood another cute figure, like a girl next door, accompanying the young man.
The vehicle quickly drove in front of the other party.
"Did you have a smooth return?"
Xu Shen asked casually as he got into the car.
With Hai Jue and Ling Lu by his side, he no longer cared how many orders he received this time.
"Um."
Lou Haiyin nodded: "The money is in place, so it's not difficult for us."
Xu Shen nodded slightly, which also revealed a piece of news, that the suppression of the Mo family was probably past the expiration date.
After all, these big companies are not directly controlled by the Mohists. They are all out to do business. Who would feel bad about money?
The medicine sold to the inner city is definitely not as expensive as that sold to the bottom city.
This is the case with many things in the world.
The same thing is cheaper when sold to a rich person than to a poor person.
Lou Haiyin glanced at Xu Shen, who came back earlier than them. It was obvious that Xu Shen had finished his business.
She didn't take the liberty of asking what it was.
…
Return to the Secret Bureau from the inner city.
Xu Shen immediately made some drastic institutional adjustments.
The inventory of Ruin Purification Agents in the Ruin Secret Bureau was liquidated, and then the reward distribution for the Ruin Slaying Team was adjusted based on the inventory.
Overall, the rewards are 50% higher than before.
Originally, after completing a C-level mission, the team as a whole could get 60 bottles of Purifier as a reward, but now it is 90 bottles, or even close to 100 bottles.
The opening of resources will allow the strength of each Zhanxu team to grow rapidly in the short term.
The more people who reach the initial state limit, the higher the probability of advancing to the second state.
The increase in the strength of the Zhanxu team will allow Xu Shen to obtain more Xuxu beasts.
Haijue and Linglu both need a large number of Xu beasts to feed. If there are not enough Xu beasts, they can only use humans to fill the gap.
Wei Yan and other senior executives expressed concerns about the adjustment of spending on purification agent resources, but Xu Shen did not explain much. Fortunately, he did not need to explain much now.
After deciding on the secret bureau, Xu Shen drove away and came to the suburbs. Based on the map of the Black Light District, he chose a small town called Longyuan Town.
This town has been attacked by monsters before. There were C-level monsters and several D-level monsters that wreaked havoc but were not sanctioned for a long time, which resulted in a huge loss of population in the town. The few wealthy people were also scared away by the frequent strange events.
The departure of wealthy people led to stagnation of the town’s economic development.
A large number of job opportunities were lost, so more people chose to leave, and a few people barely managed to get by.
The town looks quite desolate.
Xu Shen inspected the town and felt that the terrain here was quite suitable for building a factory. He told Hai Jue and Ling Lu, mother and daughter, about his idea. They didn't have many ideas, but they were mainly concerned about the food.
Xu Shen immediately contacted Da Lili and asked her to contact the mayor here and take over the town.
With the financial resources of the Light Chasing Club, it would be easy to take control of a suburban town.
During the time when the factory was being built in the town, Xu Shen had to find a temporary eating area for Hai Jue and his daughter.
As for such a place, Xu Shen chose a residential area not far from the Xu Secret Bureau.
The corpses of the Xu beasts transported to the Xu Secret Bureau can be directly transferred here.
After the site selection was completed, all that remained was to build the factory and practice Taoism. Xu Shen handed all these matters over to Da Lili. With the mobilization of the resources of the Light Chasing Club and his influence in the Black Light District, these things could be easily accomplished.
All departments will pave the way for this matter, and as for manpower, it is just the cheapest labor.
Xu Shen also asked Du Ming to come and supervise the matter.
Du Ming mobilized a team of people to repair the road and build the factory, which could save a lot of time.
While Xu Shen was busy arranging these things, many changes also took place in other districts.
North, Nightingale area.
In a manor somewhere, a kerosene lamp was lit in front of the fireplace.
Many of the accessories in the manor still maintain the old aristocratic style, revealing refinement and nobility in the retro style.
It was April, not cold, and there was no fire in the fireplace.
Under the flickering oil lamp, two figures sat together, manipulating the king and queen in a game.
Soon, the priest on the left moved his piece, completely deciding the outcome.
"You are better at this kind of thing. I lose." On the right, the tall and slender Night Rat King threw away the chess piece in his hand, leaned back in his chair, and said unhappily.
The priest smiled slightly, hooked his finger, and the chess piece that was thrown on the ground fell back onto the chessboard.
"It was just luck."
"Don't come on, are you really not going to intervene in this matter?"
The Night Rat King sat up straight, squinting at the fox in front of him: "Cooperate with me to take down the Termite City, and I can cede you two districts! The finances of these two districts will be completely handed over to you. Are you not tempted?"
That’s right, the Night Rat King found them to negotiate.
The Night Rat King had approached them once before, but the other party’s demands were too high and he did not agree.
After returning from the Black Light District that night, the Night Rat King thought about it and decided to talk again.
"Three districts." The priest smiled and raised his hand to fiddle with the chess pieces.
The Night Rat King said angrily: "You are asking for too much. Three districts, why don't you just say half a city? If I give up, you will continue to be ruled by the Queen Ant, but there will be no benefit at all!"
"The Queen Ant secretly gave us a district of financial support." The priest smiled and said, "We actually cooperated before."
The Night Rat King snorted coldly and said, "I know, so I gave you two districts. Isn't that enough?"
"My Lord, be merciful. People cannot break their promises. They must keep their promises."
The priest said softly, "Three districts, no bargaining."
"Impossible. If there are three districts, what's the point of me coming to this city? Don't think that I can't take it down without your help. When the Termite City really falls into my hands, I won't be so easy to talk to." The Night Rat King said with a cold face.
The priest smiled and showed no reaction to his threat. He said, "No matter who is the king, you must provide us with financial support for one district. Otherwise, I can choose to help her."
The Night Rat King had a gloomy look in his eyes and was so angry that his fists clenched.
This damn fence-sitter!
Although he was very angry, the Night Rat King really didn't dare to provoke these guys.
The forces against the internal army are spread throughout the cities, with several kings in charge. If you offend this group of lunatics, you will probably get into a lot of trouble.
"Then can you guarantee that your anti-internal army will never get involved in this matter?" The Night Rat King said in a deep voice.
The priest had already placed the chess pieces, and slowly leaned back in his chair, his body leaning back, his eyes tilted a little more upwards: "Of course, it is our rule of the Anti-Inner Army not to interfere in the internal affairs of the cities. After all, our enemy is the inner city."
“Two and a half sections, one price!”
The Night Rat King suddenly gritted his teeth.
The priest was not at all surprised by his sudden change of subject. He just shook his head slightly and said, "Sorry, I said I won't bargain."
"You're so cruel!"
The Night Rat King was so angry that he stood up, took a step forward, and disappeared directly in the manor.
Seeing the Night Rat King being driven away in anger, the priest shook his head helplessly and smiled, muttering to himself: "Three districts for three ant queens, I'm actually at a loss..."
…
…
Time flies.
A week passed in the blink of an eye.
The factory in Longyuan Town has been built, the roads in the entire town have been repaired, and the mountain road leading out of the town has also been reopened to facilitate the passage of vehicles transporting Xu beasts in the future.
Xu Shen brought Hai Jue and his mother over to the community.
After only a week, the community was already filled with a strong smell of decay, especially the building where Hai Jue and his son lived. It was like a reef standing in a bloody hell, and ordinary people would faint from fear at the sight of it.
The ruins beasts hunted by the Ruins Secret Bureau were only enough to provide food and clothing for Hai Jue and his mother. There was no extra material to be squeezed out to make ruins purifying agents.
Fortunately, Xu Shen and the garrison troops in the Black Light District and the Black Light Sect are also searching and hunting for Xu everywhere.
Including the beasts hunted by the Zhuiguang Society, they will also be transported to Longyuan Town.
Xu Shen wants to turn this place into a large flesh and blood processing factory, specifically to produce purifying agents for Hai Jue and his mother.
The purifying agent he made did not deliberately mix in rotten bone powder to create impurities, but simply divided it into two types, one with a light concentration and the other with a heavy concentration.
The important ones are high-level purifiers, which Xu Shen uses for himself or gives to other two-state agents under his command.
The light one is a mid-grade purifier, which has a concentration one-third of the high-grade one, but does not contain impurities. It is much better than the ordinary purifier purchased from the inner city processing plant. At least you don’t have to go to great lengths to remove impurities.
As a steady stream of beast carcasses were transported to Longyuan Town, several large processing plants in the town were filled up.
Hai Jue's body sank into the ruins, and blood was released from her body. Hai Jue's ability was the proliferation of flesh and blood.
This is also the reason why Haijue can create a sea of blood.
If she is given time and energy, theoretically, she can even flood the entire Termite City!
This is the horror of the A-level ruins!
Rich blood gathered underground throughout the town, forming rivers that extended into several large processing plants. These blood rivers were like the hands and feet of the Sea Duke, helping her to absorb the beasts in several processing plants at the same time and devour them.
The ability to create the purifying agent does not belong to Haijue, but to Linglu.
Her ability is purification. She can purify the flesh and blood of ruins beasts and turn them into ruins purifying agents.
If combined with Haijue's Blood River, it would be possible to purify the beasts in several processing plants at the same time. The combination of the mother and daughter's abilities is a perfect match.
With the opening of the town's processing plant, large quantities of purifiers began to be produced.
During this period, the Black Light District and the Sleepless District were also hunting ruins beasts in various places.
More and more blood and flesh accumulated in the town, making it like hell, but the strange thing was that the public security in the Black Light District and the Sleepless District was greatly improved during this period, and the casualties of the people, especially those who died in the market incident, were declining sharply.
The bloodiness brought about redemption.
And killing creates peace.
The beasts in the Black Light District and the Sleepless District were slaughtered in large numbers, which led to the improvement of the economies of the two districts. The casualties among the people led to economic stability and also reduced the incidence of plague and disease.
After all, many people who died at the hands of the beasts were often not discovered immediately. They were usually only noticed after they had festered and started to stink.
Time flies, and half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
The processing plants in Longyuan Town are becoming more and more stable. There are signs of vigorous development in the Black Light District and the Sleepless District. Residents are no longer frightened by the troops and personnel in special combat uniforms appearing on the streets.
When these people helped the people, they soon gained the love of many people.
With the help of the Zhanxu personnel, the fields of fire, rescue, medical treatment, etc. have been rapidly improved.
Under Xu Shen's iron fist, various industries in the two districts were suppressed and coordinated, losing the opportunity for internal friction and showing signs of unprecedented rapid development.
There was also a civil strife and attack in the Mother Queen District. Xu Shen knew that it was the Night Rat King who did it. He secretly moved the headquarters of the Light Chasing Society from the Mother Queen District to the Black Light District and completed the merger with the Black Light Cult.
From then on, a new church was born.
Church of Light.
Xu Shen gained widespread followers and accumulated strength. He compiled religious scriptures and transitioned from the goddess of night to a new god.
Sun God!
He proclaimed himself the messenger of the sun god on earth.
Wherever the light shines, it is the divine land.
And at the end of the first month of the first year of the birth of the Church of Light.
A historic event is about to happen.
