"It's not just you, they don't know either."
"Captain knew all along?"
Xu Le looked at Bai Jing, but saw Bai Jing shaking her head:
"If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known that Gan could hear that voice as well."
"Then why don't you look surprised at all?"
"Because I have always believed in Gan."
Uh, is that so... Xu Le scratched his head awkwardly.
"Okay, let's clean up the battlefield. The current environment should produce moonstones. Cheer up and find them for me and dig them out."
"yes."
After giving the order, others began to clean up the battlefield and search for places where moonstones might appear.
Then Bai Jing waved to Wang Shu again:
"Wang Shu, bring the fruit here."
"yes."
Wang Shu, who seemed indifferent on weekdays, was actually Bai Jing's number one lackey. Xu Le had already seen through it.
Seeing him happily handing the Elemental Electric Fruit to Bai Jing, Xu Le felt a pang of sadness in his heart.
He was just imagining that in the critical moment, he would fly up and catch the fruit.
Then, in a panic, in order to prevent the fruit from being obtained by the bad guys, he had to eat it with great pain.
By that time, the matter will have been settled, and even if he settles the accounts later, it will only be a matter of him repaying the loan slowly.
What a great result.
Unfortunately... his jump was too short and he missed it.
Let this guy Wang Shu take it away.
"Damn it, I missed the chance to take on a lot of loans."
"Xu Le, don't be lazy, clean up the battlefield."
"Oh, I see."
The Night's Watch cleaned the battlefield diligently and harvested a dozen small moonstones.
Coupled with the ancient sound multi-element fruit, although this mission was not successfully completed, the benefits were no worse than completing the mission in one go.
In terms of monetary income, it is even higher.
Moreover, Gan also broke through to level 2, and Gu Beichen's character also improved.
The only pity is that Zhou Zimo broke a leg.
While everyone was looking for the moonstone, Xu Le was groping around the shattered body of the Demon Orchid.
He can see things that others cannot see.
Chains of Resentment-Seal
Ancient Sound Relics-SU
Chain of Resentment: Links to a target, reducing the damage the target inflicts on you by 30%.
Prisoner: Trap a target with chains for 0.1-3 seconds, depending on the size and strength of the target.
Description: Unlocked by completing the last wish of Yuan Molan.
"It's sealed. This is troublesome."
As soon as Xu Le put his things away, Gan waved to him:
"Xu Le, come here."
"Hmm? What's wrong?"
"You have to lose something to gain. You've already got something good, so don't try to earn the Moonstone."
"Oh, I see."
Xu Le nodded, and suddenly found that Gan had drawn a spell on the ground.
"This is?"
"I have almost used up my spiritual energy. Come here and help me inject it with spiritual energy."
"Spirit infusion? Okay."
Xu Le placed his hand on the spell and injected a faint spiritual energy into the spell formation. Looking at the spell seal, Xu Le wondered if this was just an ordinary psychic summoning formation
Why do you have to draw it on the ground? And why do you have to be so mysterious
"Spell - Secret Language of Spiritual Communication."
A flash of spiritual light passed by, and a few faint spiritual points began to gather in front of Xu Le and Gan.
A slightly faint ghost nurse appeared in front of the two.
"Who are you?" the nurse asked.
"Who are you?" Xu Le asked back.
"I remember. I'm a nurse here. My name... Sorry, I can't remember it."
The nurse was a little panicked, as if she was afraid that she would be punished or even killed if she couldn't tell her name clearly, and she was especially afraid of Gan.
But Gan just waved his hand:
"Tell me about the situation here, about this clinic."
The ghost nurse looked at Gan in fear, hesitated for a moment, and nodded:
“It’s been so long, my memory is a little fuzzy, but I still remember some things.
Well, the doctor at this clinic was called Wu Anquan, and he later became the mayor of this town. "
"Hey, wait, what did you say? Did you remember it correctly?" Xu Le interrupted the ghost.
Because what the ghost in front of them said was somewhat different from the booklet they had just seen outside.
"I didn't lie to you. Really, I didn't lie to you."
When the ghost nurse saw Xu Le questioning her, if she could shed tears, she would have cried by now.
She looked at Gan from time to time, as if she was worried that Gan would kill her at any time.
"Go on." Gan waved his hand.
“Mr. Wu Anquan has been devoted to the research of white-hair blood disease, and the bodies left here are actually his patients.
The reason for the white hair blood disease is that this mutated hair will drain the patient's vitality, which causes the patient to not live long.
But it is also because of this that the white hair that has absorbed life will become exceptionally strong.
It is said that... it can be used as a material for alchemists."
Gan narrowed his eyes slightly, and Xu Le asked directly:
"Did you really have alchemists in your time? Were there any similar beings to us?"
"Yes, there were alchemists in our time, but there were no people like you who... play with souls."
"Playing with souls? Fine."
Xu Le did not refute, as what the other person said seemed to be true.
He and Gan glanced at each other.
The ghost nurse's words don't match the book.
"Since the doctor at the clinic is the town mayor Wu Anquan, why does Lan stay here?"
“That woman is a lunatic, she is trapped here, she is not the owner of this place and she dare not go out.
She enslaved our souls and dispersed her own soul into each of our souls, so that she could avoid being hunted down outside."
When Lan was mentioned, the humble little nurse felt a strong hatred.
A simple soul can generate telekinesis, which shows how much resentment these hundreds of years of slavery have caused.
Xu Le nodded slightly. It would be interesting if Lan was really trapped here for hundreds of years.
"Teacher Gan, is there a possibility that... that notebook was forged by Lan herself?"
“Probably not, there are a lot of medical records in that notebook.
If it weren’t for the researchers themselves, they probably wouldn’t be able to write it, and they wouldn’t be able to write it in such detail.”
Gan was right, but Xu Le still felt that there was something wrong with the notebook.
He took the notebook back from Bai Jing, read it from beginning to end, but did not find any signs of forged handwriting.
"You said, is there a possibility that there really was such a medical research notebook in the past
But... Lan copied it again and added some of his own stuff? So it became the current one?"
This time, Gan did not refute:
"That's a bit possible, but what's the reason?"
"If we are truly tempted, then the notebook has a reason to exist."
Hearing Xu Le say this, Gan nodded.
“That makes sense.”
"Miss Nurse, do you know what Lan is afraid of?"
“She was very afraid of the mayor, and he had been looking for her, but he wanted us to rest in peace, so he never found her here.
Lan hid his soul in other ghosts to avoid the mayor, and in this way he hid here for hundreds of years."
"It seems that this Lan took advantage of the mayor's weakness."
When he said this, the body of the ghost nurse in front of him was already emitting a faint fluorescent light, and it seemed that she was about to lose her human form.
Gan nodded to her:
"Rest in peace."
Wave!
Like a bubble, the ghost nurse turned into a point of light again.
Drifting away in the direction of the sunlight.
"You two, it's almost time to go."
Bai Jing's voice came, Xu Le and Gan said in unison:
"yes!"
After returning to the railway entrance, the group boarded the steam train again. Because of the presence of the injured Zhou Zimo, no one laughed at this time even though everyone had a good harvest on this trip.
Everyone understands that you can be happy, but you need to consider other people's feelings.
Although the pioneer mission was said to be interrupted, it has basically been declared a failure.
Whether it was Xu Le, Gan, or Bai Jing, they all understood.
While trying hard to weaken the ghost body, destroying the battle space in large quantities, and still having the ability to counterattack at the critical moment.
They had such a hard time dealing with just one demon orchid, not to mention the even more terrifying monsters in this town.
The mayor who has frightened the resentful demon Lan for hundreds of years will only be more powerful than Lan.
"Lao Niu, drive back."
"yes."
When the steam locomotive started, several ghostly figures in white appeared above the town of Block 53.
Xu Le and Gan looked behind them as if they had sensed something, and they met the eyes of these white-clothed ghosts.
"Teacher Gan, do you feel that these white ghosts look like what a doctor is wearing?"
"have."
Xu Le was a little confused. He remembered that according to the observation of Gu Yin Multi-Vision, the name of this level 2 white ghost should be Journey Guide.
Also, their abilities and the way they speak make them a bit like tour guides of this town.
A tour guide's profession, wearing doctor's clothes
This town is a tourist town, and the doctor is a person who studies graying diseases.
Could it be related to the town's secret? Xu Le shook his head slightly without getting an answer.
Bai Jing came to the middle of the car again.
“I will distribute the exploration income of the health center.
There are 9 people in the team. Since Wang Xu and Zhou Zimo did not participate in the operation, I can only give you 3% each.
Li Shunliu and Wang Shu, who actually participated but did not have more specific combat performance, each received 7%.
Niu Yuan, I, and Gu Beichen all participated in the battle against the evil spirit and got 10%.
Xu Le is responsible for participating in battles, battle planning, analyzing the abilities of evil spirits, and developing action plans.
The auxiliary Gan was successfully promoted. Although he was a bit lazy during the battle, he finally put an end to the vengeful demon and took 20%.
I will not elaborate on the main combat force, battle plan, and specific performance of Fengxie in this battle.
It can be said that without Gan, there would be no success of this operation. Gan takes 30%. "
Xu Le listened to the assignment, nodded and waited.
He was waiting for Bai Jing's last words, "Does everyone have any objections?"
Then he can yell "No comment".
But Bai Jing finished speaking and returned to her seat, and Xu Le didn't hear it.
"Brother Shu, did the captain say something missing?" Xu Le asked cautiously.
"What did you say?"
"Shouldn't she ask for our opinions on this kind of distribution? Isn't she afraid that we might disagree?"
Wang Shu looked at Xu Le silently:
"If you don't want it, you can donate it to everyone."
"No, that's not what I meant. What I meant was, don't we need to discuss the distribution of benefits?"
Who knew Wang Shu shook his head:
“There is never absolute fairness in the distribution of benefits. Once we fail to reach an agreement, hostility and disagreement will arise.
It is better to let the captain decide on his own. If you are not satisfied with something, you can apply to leave the team."
After hearing this, Xu Le nodded in sudden realization.
Although this distribution method is rough, it does make some sense.
However, this method probably requires the captain himself to have extremely high reputation and credibility.
The wheels are turning, and since it has been decided to abandon the mission, there is no need to stick to the schedule in terms of the itinerary.
By the time the steam train returned to the road, its speed had increased.
Niu Yuan and Wang Shu continued to add coal to the boiler, increasing the speed of the car to the maximum.
They returned to the lighthouse around 4 p.m., and the night watchman then made his routine inspection.
Anima, health, viruses, pollution.
After the examination, Zhou Zimo was sent directly to the hospital.
In his current condition, it’s hard to say whether he can become a night watchman in the future.
Retired night watchmen are still valuable assets, and the lighthouse will of course support them by giving them a job as a teacher or a sinecure as a guard.
However, the key point lies not with the lighthouse officials, but with the night watchman himself.
If a night watchman does not have a good attitude, no one's help will be of any use.
After returning to the branch, Xu Le discovered that some night watchmen from other teams in the branch would occasionally discuss them.
"Another failure. This is the third time Team 6 has failed this year."
"I don't know exactly, but it happened more than once."
"If this continues, Team 6 will probably be disbanded, and the players will be separated and merged into other teams."
"Not necessarily. Maybe they sent someone down to reorganize the team. There are so many troublemakers in Team 6, it's hard to say."
"I'm being honest. Team 6 is too weak."
Listening to these words, Xu Le lowered his head.
It's like when you finally recognize a group or a department and start to like it a little bit.
When I hear others slandering it, I feel very uncomfortable and annoyed.
Should he argue? Of course not. Xu Le's character would not allow him to do such a stupid thing.
so what
"I don't want to listen, these people are just idiots."
After complaining for a while, Xu Le felt much better.
However, before they could take a break and go to the infirmary to treat their scrapes and bruises, Bai Jing notified everyone to gather for a meeting.
Everyone was secretly looking forward to the content of this meeting.
In the office, Bai Jing smoked a cigarette and waited for everyone to arrive before speaking directly:
"Okay, now it's time to share the spoils, which is something we all love.
According to the old rules, the spoils you searched for will not be divided, you can just take them.
Now the teams were dividing up the spoils, mainly the 141 gram moonstone and the ancient Yinduo fruit.
Just like before, talk about your respective needs first. After all, if you can keep the things in your own hands, it is much better than buying them outside.
The warlock comes first."
Xu Le and Gu Beichen glanced at Gan. Although they were both sorcerers, there was still a gap between them.
When Gan was at level 1, he had already demonstrated dominant strength.
Level 3 Guhuo Bird, divination, mental energy channeling, stable emotions, abandoning greed and not being tempted, etc.
All of these make him the undisputed number one warlock in Team 6.
Now that he has been promoted to level 2, no one can compete with him.
It is true that Xu Le and Gu Beichen both have great potential, but that is just potential.
Potential is nothing until it is transformed into strength!
Gan took a look at the Elemental Electric Fruit and shook his head:
“This fruit is too expensive for me. Although it is a lower-level element, it is electricity and has strong development potential. Many warlocks should want this ability.
If it were to be auctioned, it would probably start at 40,000 to 50,000 yuan. If there was a rush of buyers, it could go for 100,000 or even 200,000 yuan.
Even if I bought it, I didn’t have the energy to develop it, so I gave up.”
When Xu Le heard this, his scalp went numb.
Gan's estimated price for this fruit was far beyond his ability to afford.
200,000! Even if it was 100,000, if he relied on a fixed salary, he would have to go without food and drink for 250 months to save it.
What should I do? When Xu Le hesitated, Bai Jing had already looked at him and Gu Beicheng.
"What about you two?"
Gu Beichen narrowed his eyes slightly, and his tone revealed a determination to win.
"I want it."
Xu Le was stunned. Yes, it’s already this time, why are you still hesitating
He was determined to get this fruit, and his ethereal state was instantly activated, all his previous emotions swept away.
Xu Le regained his composure and looked at Gu Beichen:
"I want it, too."
