As we all know, the first hurdle to joining the Night's Watch is the character. When Xu Le joined the Night's Watch before, Wang Shu and Bai Jing had repeatedly examined Xu Le's character.
After all, the night watchmen have to face weirdness, and if their character is not good and their mental energy is unstable, that would be the most dangerous situation.
So when Gu Beichen saw the bandaged woman, his first reaction was to reject her.
Even if the other party is level 2, you must refuse.
"This person is not..."
"This guy is good, yeah, I think so too."
Just as Gu Beichen was about to speak, Xu Le took over the conversation.
Gu Beichen looked at Xu Le strangely. As a Red Moon Warlock, Xu Le should be able to see that there is something wrong with this woman's heart, right
"It seems that we both agree. This is rare."
If it was just the first sentence, Gu Beichen might still have some doubts, but after Xu Le added the second sentence, he understood.
Xu Le said that on purpose.
But what's so special about this woman? She just looks so-so!
"What's your name?" Xu Le asked the bandaged girl.
"My name is Wu Shana."
"Very good, Wu Shana, we are going back to the Night Watch branch in Area B. If you want to join the Night Watch reserve, please prepare your luggage."
"good."
After the woman left, Gu Beichen looked at Xu Le, his eyes showing a question:
"She has a similar smell. Keep calm and investigate."
Only then did Gu Beichen's brows relax.
"good."
…
After Xu Le and his companions left Lighthouse University, Xiong Zemo, the mayor of District B of Lower City, who was standing in the school's laboratory building, waved to his wife who was standing beside him.
"That must be Xu Le."
"Yes, he is Xu Le."
"I heard that he is an outstanding young man. Jianuo thinks highly of him. Lighthouse needs more young people like Xu Le."
Luo Juya nodded, took the initiative to hug her husband, and put her face against him.
However, Xiong Zemo was very fat, and the slightly thin Luo Juya could not hug him even with both arms.
The two seemed very affectionate and close to each other, and there was absolutely no sign of internal strife between the couple as Xu Le had previously imagined.
"Do you want to recruit him? This guy is a very thoughtful guy."
"Have you investigated him?" Xiong Zemo asked.
“I guess so, but how should I put it? His ideas are different from those of ordinary lighthouse youths.
He is a person who avoids things, and in many cases, his first reaction is to avoid them.
If we want to make such a person ours, it will probably take some effort, and we have to start with the 6th team of the Night's Watch."
Xiong Zemo nodded. He had already learned from Gu Jianuo about the mission in Block 53. It was very difficult and he almost didn't make it back.
"After Bai Jing's death, Team 6 couldn't get any more members. They now have more warlocks than warriors, and they can't even carry out their mission."
Luo Juya thought for a while:
"So what you mean is to send two experts to help?"
“No, the remaining players in Team 6 are all youngsters. We were young once too, and we all understand the thoughts of young people.
They are all unwilling to join the group of people in the upper city. If a level 4 expert is parachuted in to become the team leader, they will feel that Team 6 is no longer the original Team 6.
We were also night watchmen in the past, so we must have had similar thoughts."
Xiong Zemo's words made Luo Juya smile.
"Neither this nor that works, so what do you think we should do?"
“Assign them more clerical tasks to keep them busy, and don’t let them sit idle like this.
Only when they are busy will they have a sense of fulfillment and existence and will not be confused.
As for the recruitment, don't step in first, let Jianuo try, at least he is of the same age."
"Do you dislike the fact that I'm old?" Luo Juya pouted in a rare moment.
"No, you're overthinking it."
"Okay, I'll arrange it."
After Luo Juya finished speaking, she put her arms around Xiong Zemo's neck, and the atmosphere between the old couple became ambiguous.
However, while Xiong Zemo was doing this, he suddenly said:
"Don't send anyone to attack Jianuo again."
Luo Juya pushed her husband away, frowning and looking a little angry.
"I didn't, even though I wanted to kill her, but I didn't this time!"
Xiong Zemo pushed Luo Juya back again, put her close to his chest and said:
“I know it’s not you, but you should take care of your stupid brother when you have time.
Look at how many stupid things he has done in this period of time. If I really take action, I am afraid there will be no room for redemption."
Luo Juya's face suddenly darkened. It seemed that something happened in this Block 53 mission that she didn't know about.
"I see."
"Just know it."
Xiong Zemo's expression eased, but Luo Juya still asked with a little concern:
"Now that Li Shunliu is dead, they will definitely notice it. Gu Beichen liked that Li Shunliu very much.
Xu Le and Gan are both Red Moon Warlocks, and their investigation ability is very strong. Do you plan to handle it yourself? "
"No need, just leave this matter to Jianuo."
"Do you trust her that much?"
"She's also from downtown. She's the same kind of person as us."
"Understood."
As Luo Juya nodded, her petite body was picked up by Xiong Zemo and walked into the house.
While the district head and his wife were making love, Gu Jianuo, who was lying on the hospital bed on the third floor of the laboratory building, slowly got up.
Although she came back in the same batch as Xu Le and the others, her injuries seemed to be much more serious than Xu Le and the others.
Coming to his own laboratory, Gu Jianuo took out three apple seeds from a bottle nearby.
Then he wrote three names on a piece of white paper.
Niu Yuan, Li Shunliu, Bai Jing.
After doing all this, Gu Jianuo took out the cactus on his desk and threw it into the trash can, then stuffed the seeds in and put different people's names on it.
He took out a bottle of reagent and clicked it.
Suddenly, the three seeds sprouted and three green plants grew out.
Each green plant had 7 leaves, and the two leaves on Li Shunliu's plant had already withered rapidly at this time.
Gu Jianuo was not very surprised to see the withered leaves on Li Shunliu's label.
She pushed Li Shunliu's green plants aside and placed Niu Yuan and Bai Jing's green plants in front of herself.
Then, a small eyeball was placed on the first leaf, and a mouse's ear was placed on the second leaf.
On the third leaf, there was a needle, and on the fourth leaf were some strange ashes.
The fifth leaf is a piece of meat, and the sixth leaf is a small doll.
When it came to the seventh leaf, Gu Jianuo took out a bottle of pills that were exactly the same as the ones in the dormitory manager's desk and placed them on the leaf.
"The technique-formation-is-a unique weapon, the formation of perfection."
After the psychic energy flashed, the eyeball on the first leaf immediately disappeared, and then an eye suddenly opened in the center of the leaf.
The same thing happened to several other leaves.
Ears, spikes, bones, flesh, and dolls.
Only the last leaf remained normal without any change.
After doing all this, Gu Jianuo leaned back in his chair, looking a little tired.
“The Red Moon Warlock’s ability is really troublesome. The truth cannot be changed, but the truth will be obscured by illusions.
I wonder what level Xu Le can calculate to."
…
Area B, Night Watch Division.
When Xu Le and Gu Beichen came back with four newcomers, Wang Shu, who smelled slightly of alcohol, was already waiting for them in the captain's office.
"You guys come with me."
"yes."
Bringing the newcomer, Xu Le came to the captain's office.
"This is Zheng Wen, Li Wenwen, this is Yang Mingjie, and the last one is Wu Shana."
"My strength is not that good." Wang Shu said frankly.
Hearing what he said, Zheng Wen and the other two lowered their heads, only Wu Shana held her head high. She seemed to think that she was not one of the people who were not strong enough.
"I can't recruit strong ones, but these guys are good, so let's bring them back and train them first."
After Xu Le said this, Wang Shu looked at Wu Shana with a little surprise.
Obviously, with Wang Shu's experience, it was easy to see that there was something wrong with the aura emanating from Wu Shana.
Xu Le could of course see Wang Shu's strange expression, so he said directly:
"How about this, let me take care of these four newcomers first, and have a female guard take the three girls to check them out. Zheng Wen, come with me."
"Yes." The four newcomers nodded in unison.
After Xu Le took the person out, Wang Shu looked at Gu Beichen with a little surprise.
"What's going on?"
"Xu Le said that this woman has the same smell as the captain."
When Wang Shu heard Gu Beichen say this, his aura changed.
After Bai Jing's death, his mentality changed a lot and he had more things to consider.
But Bai Jing is still the soft spot in his heart. She is both his teacher and friend, and also brings with her many extra emotions.
"Is there a problem with the captain's death?"
“Based on the situation at the time, it should not be a murder, but the captain’s condition is a bit special.
And today when we went to school, something strange happened..."
Gu Beichen took out the information about the dead dormitory manager and the medicine bottle as evidence and placed them on Wang Shu's desk.
"Why don't you get tested yourself?"
"You go first and we'll talk later."
"I go first? What do you mean?"
"Just go and try it."
The matter was of great importance, so Wang Shu stood up and went to the evidence department of the branch alone and handed over the bottle of medicine.
The evidence department staff didn't seem to care much:
"Blood pressure medication? Any questions?"
"Let's test it."
"Okay, come get it tonight."
After submitting the evidence, Wang Shu looked at Gu Beichen.
"What else did you find?"
"No, our most important thing now is to recruit people. Is there any news from the Human Resources Department?"
"The Human Resources Department said that they will assign us a Level 3 warrior. He will report in tomorrow after we complete the discharge procedures."
When Gu Beichen heard that Wang Shu was going back to get discharged from the hospital, he looked disdainful.
"You still want to go back and process your discharge? Forget it. It's time to say goodbye to that cage forever."
"Are you sure you don't want to be discharged? Doctor Wang has a bad temper."
Hearing what Wang Shu said, Gu Beichen recalled Dr. Wang's attitude, hesitated for a moment, and nodded.
"That's true. Let's go and complete the discharge procedures tomorrow."
On the other side, Xu Le personally took Zheng Wen to the men's locker room and gave him an old uniform.
The Night Watch branch returns a lot of old clothes every year, which are of course disinfected and cleaned.
Because the reserve night watchmen are not considered as formal organizations, the lighthouse will not issue them new uniforms.
However, reserve members need to participate in certain tasks, so each branch will retain some old uniforms and distribute them to reserve members when they join.
"Does it fit?"
"fit."
As Zheng Wen answered, he couldn't hide the joy on his face.
Xu Le had just discussed with him the salaries of the members of the Reserve Executive Department.
They can get 50% of the salary of formal members, without any benefits, but things like attendance allowances are the same as those of formal members.
This means that Zheng Wen can already get a basic salary of 125 yuan per month.
If you show up for work, the salary is outrageous.
Even if this salary is placed in the upper city, it is higher than that of a formal lawyer or other professions.
"Thank you, Xu Le."
"Why are you thanking me? You got this position by your own ability, and the job of a night watchman itself means great danger.
Otherwise, why do you think we suddenly recruited so many new people?"
Xu Le's voice was a little low, and he was also a little sad about Bai Jing's death.
However, the excited Zheng Wen did not notice the difference in Xu Le's tone. He said with a little excitement:
"I know that it is my dream to fight for the lighthouse, and I am always ready."
Xu Le frowned slightly. Zheng Wen's idea... couldn't be wrong.
In Lighthouse, and even in several other city-states, this idea cannot be said to be wrong.
"It's good to have this kind of ideological awareness, but don't make blind sacrifices."
"knew."
"Oh, by the way, do you know anything about Wu Shana? How come a level 2 expert who is almost reaching level 3 hasn't been reserved in advance by the Night Watch headquarters?"
When mentioning Wu Shana, Zheng Wen's expression also became a little strange.
"Xu Le, are you sure she is level 2?"
Xu Le raised his eyebrows slightly. When he heard Zheng Wen say this, he knew that there might be something unusual going on.
"She told me this level of strength herself, and since a high-ranking warrior of the Night's Watch said so, if she was lying, it would be easily exposed, right
What's wrong? If she has any problem, you can tell me now."
“No… I don’t know if she has any problems, but I remember when I met her a while ago, she was only level 1.
Although he is very strong, he can't make so many breakthroughs in such a short time, right?"
"You know her?"
“I don’t really know them, but the number of warriors in the Extraordinary Academy is not too many, but it’s not too few either. It’s said that the number is increasing every year, except for those who are sent out or selected.
There are only about 1,000 people stationed there permanently. I have met her several times and even exchanged ideas with her once. We were about the same at that time."
Zheng Wen's words made Xu Le nod:
"Okay, I understand. Go and talk to Captain Wang Shu about the Night Watch's charter. I'll go meet the three female members."
"yes."
At this time, three female members who had changed into night watch uniforms were sitting in an interrogation room waiting for Xu Le.
Li Wenwen and Yang Mingjie were chattering non-stop, but Wu Shana said nothing and had a cold expression.
"Hello everyone, I'm Xu Le, a Level 1 Red Moon Warlock, your instructor for the next period of time, and your temporary team leader.
Of course, you can also regard me as a spiritual counselor, a life consultant, and a fortune teller. "
"Fortune teller?" The two girls covered their mouths and laughed.
"Yes, I am very accurate in fortune-telling." Xu Le also laughed.
"Why isn't Senior Gu Beichen leading the team? Does he really have depression?"
Depression? Xu Le exposed Gu Beichen on the spot.
"He told you he was depressed? He had shit depression.
At noon, he can eat two boxes of lunch for 6 cents. He eats more than a pig. You tell me he has depression? Hehehehe!"
At this time, Wu Shana on the side frowned slightly and asked in a slightly stiff tone:
"You're only level 1?"
"Yeah, I'm only level 1, what's wrong?"
"Is there no stronger person among the 6th team of Night Watch? I want to follow a stronger master."
This straightforward and somewhat stupid way of speaking is really unpleasant.
However, Xu Le himself knew that a level 1 transcendent, even a warlock, had little persuasiveness.
If you want this woman to obey, verbal warnings are useless, you have to use some real means.
"If you're not convinced, you can challenge me now. If you win, you can change people."
Wu Shana seemed to be prepared. Her slightly irritable personality made her stand up suddenly and rush towards Xu Le.
"Come on!"
Wu Shana’s agility, although not as good as Wang Shu who had not been promoted before, but she should be able to escape the level of Level 2.
However, although she has a very violent personality, her fighting style is still too academic.
There was a stick right next to you, but you didn't know how to take it? How stupid.
Xu Le shook his head slightly.
In Wu Shana's eyes, Xu Le's state of not reacting for a long time and shaking his head slightly was really full of flaws.
A man like him as his own leader? Ha!
Throw a punch.
Sizzle!
“Ugh!~”
After a strong electric current swept through her, Wu Shana became paralyzed all over and knelt on the ground awkwardly.
For warriors who don't have elemental relic weapons, elemental abilities like light and electricity are simply unstoppable.
Ordinary warriors have no means of resistance against this kind of fruit ability user.
Xu Le released his elemental current, slowly walked in front of Wu Shana, and took out his stick, um, a warlock's staff.
Li Wenwen and Yang Mingjie looked at Xu Le hesitantly:
"Leader, what are you going to do?"
"In any situation, in any branch of the armed forces, this kind of provocation to a superior is a very stupid act.
Although there are some people like Long Aotian who can really slap their boss in the face, most of the time, the provocateur will end up being beaten.
So, I am going to gently wake her confused mind. "
Bang!
There was a bang on her forehead and Wu Shana fell heavily to the ground.
Xu Le turned to look at the other two girls:
"What I just said also applies to you. I really do hit women."
With the two girls nodding their heads in agreement, Xu Le ended the first conversation between the newlyweds.
Xu Le asked Gu Beichen to take the other three to get guns and badges, and then familiarize themselves with the environment, while he stayed to look after Wu Shana.
After Wu Shana woke up, she was obviously a little afraid when facing Xu Le.
"woke up?"
"Um, sorry, I was too impulsive just now."
