The next day, the three of them put on their respective uniforms and reported to the branch.
After all, I haven't been here for 10 days, so I should dress more formally.
"Good morning, Brother Niu, good morning, Shunliu."
I have to say that Xu Le is a bit like a scumbag when it comes to enthusiasm.
The others were fine. When Xu Le and Li Shunliu were saying hello, Gu Beichen quickly grabbed him:
"You were the one who called me Shunliu?"
"If I don't call her Shunliu, what should I call her?"
"Just call her by her name."
"I screamed, and you bit me?"
"I will burn you to death."
When the two were about to wrestle with each other, Bai Jing's voice appeared behind them.
"What are you three doing here? Come over here."
"oh."
Xu Le nodded and was suddenly surprised. She actually came!
“The guys are very spirited.”
Luo Juya looked at Xu Le and the other two and praised them.
Bai Jing on the side nodded as well. Looking at the neat uniforms of Xu Le and the other two, she also breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, I didn’t embarrass myself in front of my leader.
In Luo Juya’s daily action plans, her main identities are the wife of the district mayor of District B, a philanthropist, etc.
But Bai Jing knew that she was a hidden master.
Ten years ago, when Bai Jing was still a rookie, Luo Juya was already the captain of Team 1 in Zone B.
Team 1 is no different from other teams and is usually the designated team for promotion.
When everyone thought Luo Juya would become the rising star of Shangcheng District, she actually got married.
And she hadn't retired from the Night's Watch.
He is still the senior consultant of the Night Watch in Zone B.
"Ma'am, they are..."
"I know them, Xu Le, Gu Beichen, and Mr. Wang Shu. I think I remember them correctly, right?"
"Madam, you have a very good memory. Madam, do you have any instructions for me today?"
Bai Jing didn't ask how Luo Juya knew Xu Le and the other two. What she was more curious about now was what Luo Juya was doing here
Even if they are inspecting the team, they should inspect the entire B District, right
Is it necessary to come specifically to find their 6 teams
Having said that, Luo Juya will not keep you in suspense:
"I heard from Wang Yueqin that your team 6 is in some trouble now."
"Ma'am, we will do our best to complete the task."
Bai Jing thought Luo Juya was here to ask for an explanation, but she didn't expect Luo Juya to just wave his hand:
“You misunderstood me, Captain Bai. I was also born in the Lower City, and I understand your situation very well.
But I can't offer much help to you in your situation, and you should understand this yourself."
"I understand."
"Your performance is good enough. The problem with Block 53 is not that you are incapable, but that you don't have enough strength.
I used to be the captain of the Night's Watch. I don't want any team to disband, and I don't want things like parachuting in leaders to happen.
I understand your concerns, and I sincerely hope that you can complete this mission, so I will support you."
"Ma'am, please don't say that. We will do our best."
"Captain Bai misunderstood again. The support I mentioned is not just a verbal check."
Xu Le entered the ethereal state when Luo Juya appeared.
After hearing this, he already understood Luo Juya's purpose. Although he was not 100% sure, he was 70% to 80% sure.
Xu Le began to analyze the purpose of Luo Juya's actions.
She took the initiative to find Bai Jing because she needed to gain Bai Jing's favor. She wanted to place people in the team to ensure that the mission was completed.
Because she needs additional people with ancient sounds and multiple destinies to obtain the right to choose fruits and the right to obtain information.
Therefore, whether it is to win over or to exploit, protecting yourself is a very feasible investment.
"She wants to insert someone into the next mission."
Hearing Xu Le's low whisper, Gu Beichen and Wang Shu were both stunned. Although they were very surprised, the tacit understanding they had cultivated for ten days prevented them from speaking.
Bai Jing was also slightly puzzled at this time:
"What kind of help do you mean, ma'am?"
Luo Juya smiled and said:
“I will send a level 3 warlock to help you. She is very capable, and I will instruct her to follow your orders.
In addition, my security company has recently ordered a batch of new weapons from Zion, which will be provided to you free of charge.”
Bai Jing was stunned when she heard this.
According to normal polite words, she should have declined with a smile.
But now she had no way to refuse Madam Ju Ya's help. Bai Jing calmed herself down, knowing that as the captain she could not lose her composure at this time.
She nodded heavily:
"Thank you Madam Ju Ya for the gift. Bai Jing promises to complete the task."
"That's good. Captain Bai is an excellent person, and your team members are also excellent. I believe you can complete the task."
"Please rest assured, ma'am."
"Okay, in that case, I won't disturb you from working. See you next time."
Luo Juya left right after she finished speaking, without any hesitation, and she didn't even look at Xu Le, or even linger on his gaze.
In this situation, no one would think that Luo Juya was coming for Xu Le.
Even Xu Le himself had some doubts.
"Is she coming for me?"
Xu Le asked silently, then he pulled out a card from his pocket.
Red Card-Angel
Positive: affirmative, correct, and very good approval.
Angels represent affirmation and correctness, which means that Xu Le’s previous judgment was completely correct.
She came just for herself.
After waiting for Luo Juya to leave, Gu Beichen quietly asked:
"How do you know she's going to plant someone in here?"
"Because she wants to ensure the smooth completion of this mission as much as possible."
"Why does she have to ensure the completion of the mission?"
Gu Beichen wanted to continue asking, but Xu Le no longer had any intention of answering.
"Because she coveted my beauty."
"Tsk, forget it."
Gu Beichen is relatively straightforward, but Wang Shu is not so easy to fool.
He looked at Xu Le strangely, then walked into the captain's office calmly.
"Xiao Shu is going to sue you again."
"You know?" Xu Le was a little surprised.
"I'm not stupid, why can't I know?"
Gu Beichen rolled his eyes, and Xu Le shook his head slightly:
"Brother Shu is the captain's confidant, just tell him what you want to say."
Hearing Xu Le say this, Gu Beichen waved his hand:
"He's a piece of shit, he's the... how do you put it? A bootlicker. Yes, Xiaoshu is the captain's bootlicker."
Xu Le's expression gradually became surprised:
"You said Brother Shu likes the captain? Their age difference..."
"He just likes the captain. He has been reporting me for a long time. I have seen that. He is a dog who will never have a good death."
Seeing Gu Beichen gritting his teeth, Xu Le echoed:
"Indeed, a dog that licks the dog will not die well."
Just as he finished speaking, Li Shunliu came out with a cup in his hand, and Gu Beichen's expression changed immediately.
"Shunliu, would you like some water? I'll help you get..."
Xu Le looked at Gu Beichen who was following behind Li Shunliu and repeated:
"A dog that licks you will never die a good death."
…
That afternoon, the weapons arranged by Mrs. Ju Ya were delivered.
Wang Shu picked up one of the guns, looking somewhat curious:
"This kind of gun should be held in the arms when used, right? It has double rounds and a large caliber. What's its origin?"
"It should be a shotgun." Xu Le said suddenly.
"How do you know the name of this gun?" asked Bai Jing, holding the weapons list.
"Well, I'm from Zion, and these weapons belong to Zion, so that's why I know."
"But you came to the Lighthouse more than two years ago. These weapons only started to be produced last year. Do you still have the ability to predict them in advance?"
Faced with such a question, Xu Le began to sweat. Why was he so rude
"team leader… "
"Okay, I know you can't make it up anymore."
Bai Jing threw a shotgun to Xu Le.
“This weapon is indeed more suitable for dealing with monsters than a pistol. It has a short range but great destructive power.
As an extension of melee weapons, it couldn't be better."
Xu Le himself also agrees with this point.
Shotguns are really good weapons for dealing with weird things.
This type of shotgun does not have a very good range, but its destructive power at close range is much greater than that of a pistol.
"Apply the weird bone ash to the bullets and make the coating thicker. This diffuse attack should be effective against level 2 ghosts."
After Xu Le made this statement, everyone else's eyes suddenly lit up.
It seems to be the case.
The reason why a pistol can hardly cause substantial damage to a level 2 ghost is that the shooting hole is too small and the nature of the ghost's injuries is different from that of the entity.
However, if multiple projectiles can be fired at one time, the damage to the spirit will exceed the upper limit of its short-term recovery, thus causing damage.
“According to Xu Le, from today on, all the bullet heads will be coated with a strange bone ash coating.
Not only this batch of shotgun bullets, but also other pistol bullets need to be made."
As soon as Bai Jing finished speaking, Niu Yuan raised an objection:
"Captain, this will cost a lot of extra money."
"Lao Niu, do you think this mission is still about money?"
Niu Yuan was silent for a while and nodded:
“That’s right.”
The mission will depart tomorrow morning.
In other words, they now have an afternoon + half an evening to complete the coating, which is not enough, but it is okay.
Everyone got busy, including Xu Le.
When it was almost time to get off work, a timid voice appeared outside the office of Team 6:
"Excuse me, is Captain Bai Jing here?"
When Team 6 heard the sound, they looked and saw a woman who was only about 1.5 meters tall and not very old appeared at the door.
She was wearing a pair of round-framed glasses and holding a book in her hand. She looked like a student, at least more like a student than Xu Le.
Bai Jing looked at the person who came. Although she had guessed the other party's identity, there was some disbelief in her eyes.
"Hello, I'm Bai Jing."
"Hello, Captain Bai Jing, my name is Gu Jianuo, you can just call me A Nuo or Xiao Nuo."
A level 3 alchemist looks so harmless
Bai Jing stood up and walked to Gu Jianuo's side, extending her hand:
"Xiao Nuo, right? Thank you for coming to help at this time."
"You're welcome, Captain. I usually just do research and lack practical experience.
So Madam wants me to follow you and train myself in this mission."
Coming to such a task to train? Bai Jing was a little confused.
Is Madam confident in the ability of this little girl, or does she want her to die in this mission
"Xiao Nuo is already a level 3 warlock at such a young age. He has a bright future ahead of him."
"It's okay."
The two exchanged greetings as they walked into the captain's office.
Gu Jianuo also did not look at Xu Le, but Xu Le's doubts did not diminish at all.
"I'm going to the bathroom."
Under the pretext of going to the toilet, Xu Le came to Gan's office.
"Was this Gu Jianuo sent to investigate me?"
When drawing the card, a hazy feeling appeared. Xu Le had already expected this card.
Black Card-Forest
A place where you can't get out, a fog, a dilemma.
Putting the cards back, Xu Le mobilized his spiritual energy and performed divination again.
It’s still the same question as before.
“Was this Gu Jianuo sent to observe me
The techniques are all ancient and contain many secret words. "
This time, spiritual energy was injected and spells were used, and the hazy feeling shrouded in the unknown was gradually broken.
And this time, the card Xu Le got was.
Red Card-Angel
Positive: affirmative, correct, and very good approval.
He did not stop, mobilizing his spiritual energy to continue divination, again and again.
"Does Gu Jianuo have any ill will towards me personally?"
Red Card-Heart
Denial, mistakes, bloody lessons.
"Does Gu Jianuo have any ill will towards Team 6 of the Night Watch in Area B?"
Red Card-Heart
"Will Gu Jianuo do his best to help Team 6 with their mission?"
Red Card-Angel
When Xu Le saw this, he was much less vigilant, but he was still on guard.
Although Gu Jianuo did not have any ill intentions at the moment, she was indeed here to observe him.
He should have Luo Juya's mission.
In the next mission, this Gu Jianuo should try to get in touch with himself as much as possible, observe his abilities, and provide them to Luo Juya.
Xu Le pondered for a while and drew another card.
"This pioneer mission..."
"Xu Le, stop. I feel the fluctuations of psychic energy many times. As a level 1 warlock, psychic energy should not be overdrawn like this."
Gan walked in suddenly, interrupting Xu Le's divination and making Xu Le feel a little embarrassed.
He stuffed the card back, but before putting it back, he took a sneak peek at it.
Black Card-Black Sheep Girl
Death, darkness, and impending disaster.
Seeing this result, Xu Le's heart tightened slightly.
His thoughts were a little confused, so he couldn't even hear clearly the next few words Gan said.
"Xu Le, are you okay? You don't look well."
"I'm fine, Mr. Gan. Sorry I was distracted just now."
Gan did not believe Xu Le's answer. He looked at Xu Le and patted him on the shoulder.
"Are you worried about the mission?"
"Ah? Yes, I am a little worried."
"Have you used divination for this mission?"
Hearing Gan's question, Xu Le also raised his head slightly:
"Teacher Gan, don't you want to know?"
"Of course I want to know. As a Red Moon Warlock, it is also my job to divine for the team in advance."
"well?"
Gan's answer was somewhat beyond Xu Le's expectations. Regarding the mission, can Teacher Gan also tell fortunes
He doesn't seem worried at all. Could it be that his divination result is good
I think it's like this, I'm just a level 1 rookie who has just started, while Teacher Gan is already a senior level 2 Red Moon Warlock.
His divination results are probably more accurate than mine, that's for sure.
"What is the result of Mr. Gan's divination?"
Xu Le showed hope in his eyes, but Gan said ruthlessly:
"It's the Black Sheep Girl. What a terrible result. What about you? What was your result?"
"Same, Black Sheep Girl."
Xu Le's expression became a little gloomy. It seemed that the outcome of this mission would be very bad.
"You look like you're disappointed?" Gan asked again.
"Teacher Gan... aren't you disappointed? After all, the Black Sheep Girl represents disaster, death, and darkness."
"So you're worried? Actually, there's no need to be like that.
Bai Jing and I have been working on missions together for more than 8 years. In these 8 years, I have performed divination for the team more than 2,000 times.
The Black Sheep Girl appeared 41 times, and she didn't kill us 41 times. Do you understand what I mean?"
After hearing Gan's explanation, Xu Le felt a little relieved.
After all, this kind of data-based comfort always makes people feel at ease.
"Does that mean it's okay?"
“No, it’s still dangerous, every time a Black Sheep Girl appears it’s dangerous, but we’ve overcome it.
Xu Le, fate is predetermined, but people can change it. "
Xu Le nodded, not quite understanding. He took out the Black Sheep Girl card and opened the Ancient Sound Multi-Vision.
He was impressed by the girl's deep eyes on the card.
As the first ancient sound card he knew, Xu Le always had a feeling that he was a little afraid of seeing this card.
I don’t know if it’s because of my own doubts, or because of the scene I saw when I just traveled through time.
Look at the description of this card in Guyin Multi-Vision, especially the meaning on the reverse side.
Light born in darkness.
Every time when he did divination, the meaning that Xu Le could intuitively feel was positive.
He had noticed the negative implications many times, and had indeed had a vague feeling about them a few times, but he had never been able to grasp them.
However, Gan's reminder this time gave Xu Le some insights.
Light born in darkness.
Does it mean that humans have the ability to change their destiny and escape disasters
That's why we can see a glimmer of hope in the darkness.
"Thank you, Mr. Gan."
Gan smiled. In fact, what he said was just the beautified side of the Black Sheep Girl. He and Bai Jing did survive.
But every time the Black Sheep Girl appears, the team will face death, without any exception.
He didn't tell Xu Le about this.
Because he didn't know who would die this time.
"You're welcome. You should be more restrained when using your spiritual energy in the future. You still have a long time to live. Don't ruin your body at such a young age."
Xu Le's mouth twitched. Should I tell Teacher Gan that I did it more than ten times in a row without getting tired
No, this will be a blow to him.
At this moment, the door was suddenly opened and Bai Jing walked in anxiously.
"Oh, Xu Le is here too.
Gan, can you help me divine Gu Jianuo, a level 3 alchemist?"
"Alchemist? If you're not on guard, it should be possible."
Bai Jing glanced at Xu Le and seemed to hesitate for a moment.
But in the end she chose to trust Xu Le and told him her problem:
"See if Madam Juya wants to kill her."
Xu Le:
