In fact, up to now, Xu Le has already based on the existing information.
Guess the ins and outs of some things.
This kind of pill that can help warriors break through is most likely made by an alchemist.
Combined with the divination that was countered today, Xu Le knew that this matter was most likely related to Gu Jianuo, or even the team behind her.
District Mayor Xiong Zemo...
That's no longer something you can take advantage of.
She is now extending an olive branch to him, which is what really makes Xu Le hesitate.
Should we investigate further? Or should we join if we can't beat them
But if he really joined Xiong Zemo's camp, what was the point of him investigating these things
Join a larger force, then investigate the criminal information of this force and then report it
This behavior sounds stupid.
"Forget it, let's go back first."
…
When Xu Le returned to the Night Watch branch, it was already evening.
Wang Shu, who was concerned about Bai Jing, came to the evidence department and asked about the test results of the pills.
But the laboratory technician here said with surprise:
"It's just ordinary blood pressure medicine. Where did you get it, Captain Wang Shu?"
"Gu Beichen brought it back."
"Ordinary things, don't think too much about it."
Wang Shu nodded expressionlessly, then returned to the captain's office. He happened to run into Xu Le who was about to punch out of get off work, so he pulled him aside.
"The Evidence Department said the pills were just ordinary blood pressure medication. What do you mean?"
"Do you believe it?" Xu Le asked back.
"I don't believe it, but then what?"
"Check it out, there are no clues, right?"
"What did Wu Shana say?"
"There is a problem, but I don't know what it is. Tomorrow I will start taking them to handle office tasks and observe her while I am at it."
"Okay, then do you want to try again with the evidence?"
"I don't think it will work if we do the test."
"It's broken again?"
“Don’t be so impatient, Brother Shu, after the captain died, you haven’t been as calm as before.
You are now the new captain of the Night's Watch 6. If you can't calm down, your teammates will be at a loss."
After hearing Xu Le's reminder, Wang Shu suddenly calmed down.
Yes! After the captain left, he became much more impetuous during this period of time, and even his cultivation fell behind.
The captain asked him to listen more to Xu Le's words, perhaps because he had anticipated this.
"Thanks, Xu Le."
"You're welcome, Brother Shu."
In Team 6, apart from Bai Jing, Xu Le and Wang Shu have the best relationship, so naturally they don't want to see him fall like this.
Signing out at the door of the Night Watch branch.
Meow! Ding Ke called out.
Xu Le looked over and saw Wu Shana who was about to go back. Xu Le walked over and asked:
"Ready to get off work?"
"Uh? Off work? Yeah, I'm getting ready to get off work."
Although Wu Shana is one year older than Xu Le, she obviously has no experience in this area of work and does not have the greasy feeling of Xu Le at all.
This kind of youthfulness belongs to a college student who has just graduated.
They are the kind of young people who get nervous when going to a new company or attending a new dinner party.
In other words, although Wu Shana had caused him to make a wrong divination regarding the previous pill incident, he fell into an alchemical counterattack.
But her identity as a student should be true.
This gives Xu Le a lot of room, as the warlock's game is not that simple.
The first ones to win are the ones who get the most points, and the one who laughs last is the winner.
"You haven't eaten yet? As your superior, come on, I'll treat you to a meal and also tell you some rules about the night watch."
Faced with Xu Le's active invitation, Wu Shana subconsciously wanted to refuse.
Because she always rejected invitations from male classmates at school.
"I, I still won't go..."
"If you refuse your boss's first invitation to dinner, it will be difficult for you to gain a foothold in the company in the future.
What if I ask you to die during the next mission? Then you, the rookie, are doomed, right? "
"Senior, no way?"
"Do you think I would? I'm a petty person."
Wu Shana looked at Xu Le with suspicion, but she was slightly surprised when she saw the black cat on Xu Le's shoulder.
"The leader actually has a black cat?"
"Yeah, the kind that no one wants."
Meow! Ding Ke was a little dissatisfied, but Wu Shana stepped forward and touched Ding Ke.
"I like cats, too, but unfortunately my family didn't allow us to keep one."
"Why do you always bring up these sad things? Let's go, I'll treat you to hotpot."
Wu Shana was stunned. She loved eating hot pot, but after her parents died, she hadn't eaten hot pot for a long time.
"good."
"Hey, wait a minute, I'll buy some fruit."
Xu Le brought Wu Shana to a street stall across the street from the branch, where an old lady was squatting and selling strawberries.
"Hey young man, would you like to buy some strawberries?"
"How do you sell it, Auntie?"
"75 cents a pound."
When Xu Le heard the price, the corners of his mouth twitched. The lunch they had cost only 6 cents.
However, the main purpose of this trip is to have some communication with Wu Shana and see if there is any chance to obtain information.
So Xu Le reluctantly bought the strawberries for 2 yuan, because he had seen Wu Shana looking in this direction several times before.
While walking on the road, Xu Le took out some strawberries and started eating them without even washing them.
When it was handed to Wu Shana, Wu Shana hesitated for a moment, but in the end she did not refuse and started eating as well.
Xu Le could see that she was not that defensive against him.
So was her previous behavior guided by someone
After I did that divination, I fell into Gu Jianuo's trap.
Has she had any contact with Gu Jianuo
If so, how should I counter it
This was the first time Xu Le encountered a situation where divination was countered, and the opponent was a level 3 alchemist.
So for Xu Le, this is not just a simple game.
It is also a very good experimental subject.
The thoughts ended in an ethereal state, and only a few seconds had passed. Xu Le looked at Wu Shana with a smile.
"We should really thank these aunties who set up stalls to sell fruits in front of the branch office."
"Ah? Why?"
"Because they could have gone and robbed, but they didn't, saving a lot of manpower. It was really for the benefit of us night watchmen."
"Hahaha."
When Wu Shana heard Xu Le's joking complaints, she finally couldn't help laughing.
"Come on, don't be so stern every day. In this dark age, death is actually a very normal thing.
There is only one month left before the Kuroshio. Train yourself well and try your best to survive the next Kuroshio."
"Will the next Kuroshio be as difficult as last time?"
Wu Shana was a little hesitant because in the past, the Black Tide was kept outside the city walls by the guards and night watchmen.
In her 21 years of memory, only the last Kuroshio had an unexpected event.
But she actually thinks like most people.
A black tide of that magnitude was just an accident and it probably won't happen again next time.
Looking at Wu Shana's expectant eyes, Xu Le knew what she was thinking.
However, as a ruthless warlock who could kill sisters to prove his truth, he directly extinguished Wu Shana's beautiful vision.
“If you were not the Night Watchman, I would probably tell you that the last black tide was just an accident.
But you have become a reserve night watchman today, so now I have to tell you the truth.
The black tide in the future will be affected by the power of Gu Yinduo, and it will probably become more and more difficult, and the monsters will become more and more powerful.
But this time, the Lighthouse should be prepared."
"Is that so..."
"So, momentary hatred is meaningless, killing monsters is something that will accompany us throughout our lives.
You have to live as long as possible, so that you can kill more monsters."
"Live longer..." Wu Shana's face looked a little uncertain.
As Xu Le walked, he sighed:
"I know you have some painful memories and sad stories, and I actually have some similar ones too.
I feel like those things are all in my stomach, things like rotten wood, rubble, dull blades, lots of them.
They accumulated as the days went by, and my flesh and blood tried hard to digest them, but it couldn't.
They scratched my stomach and left me rotting and smelling, with an occasional hint of blood.
But don’t always tell others about your pain, because after hearing your pain, 20% of people will not take it seriously. "
Wu Shana savored Xu Le's words, and suddenly asked:
“What about the 80%?”
"The remaining 80% will tell others about your pain as a joke."
"Uh, is that so?"
"Yes, people's sorrows and joys are not the same."
While they were talking, the two had already arrived at the door of a hot pot restaurant with the words "Big Fat Goose Hot Pot" written on it.
"You're not picky about taste, right?"
"I'm not picky, just spicy."
"Okay, I won't be picky." Xu Le calmed himself down.
An hour later.
Xu Le looked at the pot in front of him and fell into deep thought.
At that time, Xu Le's attention was completely focused on the big pot. The shape of the pot was indescribably strange. Xu Le had never seen such an appliance before.
A hexagonal metal pot filled with dark red, viscous liquid with a pungent smell.
There were also a lot of granular, seed-like things floating on it.
Some broken pieces of meat with bones reminded Xu Le of strange minced meat.
When he stared at the pot with the ancient sound multi-perspective, only this prompt appeared.
Red oil pot
"Why don't you eat it, Senior? Don't you like the taste?"
"Mainly because I'm not hungry." Xu Le was still being stubborn.
He actually secretly took two bites just now, but he really couldn't do it, it was too spicy.
If one were to use an adjective to describe his feelings at the time, it would probably be that he, a forbidden warlock, instantly learned the fire-breathing skills of a disaster warlock.
"Are you afraid of spicy food, Senior?"
"No, how can I, a man, be afraid of spicy food?"
"Ha!" Wu Shana laughed.
To be honest, Xu Le thought that she was average looking to begin with, and now she looked even uglier when she smiled.
Especially her smile, which seemed to be making fun of herself.
"Humph, it's not a sin to not be able to eat spicy food."
"No, no, I just thought that the senior was very nice and it was my fault."
"Forget it, just eat well."
Seeing Xu Le waving his hand to show that he didn't care, Wu Shana asked tentatively:
"Um... Senior, can I have a cigarette?"
Xu Le was stunned when he heard this request. As a warlock, he was very self-disciplined during this period. He almost never drank alcohol and had no habit of smoking.
But Xu Le feels that self-discipline, like morality, is used to restrain oneself and should not interfere with others.
That's called moral kidnapping.
"Go ahead, go ahead, it's okay."
"good."
Wu Shana took out a pack of not very expensive cigarettes, just normal popular cigarettes, not ladies' cigarettes.
I lit one and took a puff with great pleasure.
Perhaps it was because of the previous great psychological pressure that Xu Le counselled him again.
So she was unusually relaxed in front of Xu Le.
Especially the way she smoked reminded Xu Le of Bai Jing.
Although compared with a young student like Wu Shana, Bai Jing is simply the oil of the oil, the oil king.
But Xu Le still felt that their smoking postures were very similar.
What is similar is the expression.
"The way you smoke looks a lot like a friend of mine."
"Senior, this way of talking to girls is not very popular anymore."
"She's dead."
"Um, sorry."
"I'm not trying to hit on you with this. Her name is Bai Jing, and she died in the last mission. You joined the team because of their death."
"Senior, do you care about that friend?" Wu Shana suddenly asked.
"Yes, I care a lot. Actually, I couldn't figure out some things before, but when I saw you smoking, I suddenly figured it out."
Xu Le's words were a bit confusing, at least Wu Shana didn't understand what he meant.
"It's good that you figured it out. Um, what did you figure out, senior?"
Xu Le, who hadn't drunk for a long time, poured himself a glass of wine and drank it.
"Because I have a better place to go and a bigger force has invited me, I have been confused and don't know whether I should go or not."
"Wouldn't it be nice to have a better place?" Wu Shana was also telling the truth.
Xu Le nodded and acknowledged this.
“Yes, a better place and a bigger power would definitely be better than now, but I am always hesitant and subconsciously refuse.
I didn’t quite understand why I refused before. I already had a better place, so why should I stay here? ”
"Senior, are you leaving the Night's Watch?"
"I did waver and had this thought before, but now I don't think about it anymore."
"Why?"
Under Wu Shana's gaze, Xu Le seemed to have a sense of relief at this time.
"Now that I think about it, I was probably stupid. Anyway, I was just blinded by my so-called friendship.
Although I haven't known her for a very long time, only about two months at most.
But she really took good care of me, and she guided and instructed me so that I wouldn't die outside or get lost on the road of life.
I think I have figured out what I want, and I want to know the truth.
If she really died peacefully, I would burn more paper for her.
If she was murdered, I want to avenge her.
This is probably what I think now.”
Xu Le was extremely calm when he said these words, but in Wu Shana's perception, this calmness was like the calm before the storm, which was particularly depressing.
"Senior, are you okay?"
"Great, are you done?"
"Yeah, I'm done eating."
"Let's go after we finish eating."
"good."
After leaving the hot pot restaurant that Xu Le would probably never visit again, Xu Le sent Wu Shana back to the female members' dormitory.
He had no intention of going upstairs. He stood downstairs and waved goodbye to Wu Shana without any intention of looking back.
It was Wu Shana who called Xu Le when he was leaving.
"senior."
"Hmm? Something?"
"Thank you for your advice."
"You're welcome. Do one good deed a day and avoid one disaster a month."
"Uh, senior, please rest early."
"The same to you."
Xu Le noticed that Wu Shana seemed to be hesitant to speak. At this point, he became more and more certain that Wu Shana was hiding something about the pills, but he did not ask any further questions and went straight back to his dormitory.
Now that we have some clues and have established a relationship, we can't rush it.
Compared to this matter, the matter of promotion is more urgent. After all, the Red Moon Tribulation will only last for a little over a month.
"Ding Ke, help me watch."
Meow! Ding Ke nodded.
Xu Le knew that Ding Ke could detect the presence of peepers.
If he wanted to practice with peace of mind at this time, Ding Ke's help was indispensable.
Xu Le took out the Guyinduo card and drew the black card - Black Sheep Girl
The second condition to become a life-saver is to unlock an Ancient Sound card.
Xu Le considered many options, four-leaf clover, coin, clown, angel.
But he finally chose the black sheep girl
After all, Black Sheep Girl was the first card he came into contact with.
Maybe it's not the card that appears the most times, but the meaning of this card is extraordinary to him.
He always felt that he had some special connection with this card.
So Xu Le’s attempt to unlock the card is this card.
Although he still hasn't figured out what unlocking means and this situation has lasted for 10 days, it is precisely because he is unclear that he wants to study it!
Various divination attempts had been made during the 10 days he had been in the hospital, but none of them worked.
So Xu Le planned to do the opposite this time.
Be cleaner and purer.
Just a simple touch.
This time, Xu Le did not conduct any divination in advance, but simply activated the ethereal state and ancient sound multi-perspective.
Then he mobilized his psychic energy to hold the card, trying to enter the state of Gu Yinduo's destiny.
Unfortunately, there is still no response.
Xu Le was not discouraged. After thinking for a while, he thought of the condition 1 for promotion.
The psychic power is upgraded to the perfect state of LV1 stage, and the ancient sound branch of the fruit extends from the mark.
If the promotion conditions are linked, is it possible that condition 1 is a prerequisite for condition 2
After this idea came to his mind, Xu Le immediately took action.
He focused his attention, and the branches of Guyin Duoshi extended from his seventh vertebra.
Xu Le held the card in both hands and clumsily controlled the Branch of Reality.
When the branch of Guyin Duoshi touched the black sheep girl, the touch that Xu Le expected did not occur.
The ancient sound branch of Duoshi actually entered the card!
This scene was very similar to the time when Xu Le himself was trapped in the whirlpool of fate.
But last time he was the feeler, this time he is the observer.
The Branch of Reality sank deeper and deeper, and in order to maintain its stability, Xu Le had consumed a huge amount of spiritual energy.
But even now, this process showed no sign of stopping, and he couldn't stop.
"It's over! There's no more psychic energy."
When Xu Le's own spiritual energy was completely drained, the ancient sound branch dragged him into the picture of the black sheep girl along with his body.
Xu Le opened his eyes and was surrounded by endless darkness.
Far, far away, there seemed to be a small yellow light.
Xu Le looked around and after confirming that there was no light except there, he walked towards the light.
But this time, the feeling of entering various soul worlds was completely different from before.
This world is materialized.
The touch, the temperature, and the materialized air, these are things that Xu Le can feel personally.
Not only that, he even saw the hint.
…
