Chapter 974: Chapter 63: The Eerie Reunion

Xiao Ya instantly caught on: “Got it, I’ll reimburse you. What a stingy brother!”

[Hint: Eat a Peach invites you to open the payment portal]

[Hint: Eat a Peach injects 10 Contribution Points into your payment portal, automatically received.]

[Current Contribution: 301]

“Thank you, little sister!”

Xu Shu looked quite satisfied.

Hou Yong stood nearby, staring dumbfounded at Xu Shu fiddling around.

After a while, he cautiously tested, “Sir, what are you doing?”

“Of course, I’m reporting to the police.” Xu Shu answered matter-of-factly.

“Ah? Oh, okay…”

Hou Yong’s expression was somewhat wooden.

He always felt that the imposing aura of this “Shepherd” high-level player didn’t match the concept of “reporting to the police” at all.

When you were interrogating me just now, you seemed slightly mad, a bit excited, like you were going to wipe out the entire Residual Sound Society…

Before this thought finished crossing his mind…

Xu Shu in front of him turned off the Ascension Network and casually slammed the woman in the qipao to the ground, crushing her to death.

At the same time, there was a sucking sound in the void, as if an invisible little cherry mouth opened, swallowing the qipao woman’s corpse whole, clean and dry, followed by a faint sigh: “Sir, swoosh swoosh~”

“!” Hou Yong gasped in shock.

He recognized the man’s identity—this was a “Living Cultivator”!

The invisible man-eating monster must be his Deceitful Servant!

Hou Yong’s heart was pounding wildly, and before he could speak, he suddenly felt his body lighten as he was lifted like picking up a chick.

The posture, the action, was exactly the same as the qipao woman who had just been killed.

“Sir! Don’t kill…” Hou Yong screamed in terror.

Xu Shu coldly ordered, “Lead the way, to the place you mentioned.”

Only then did Hou Yong let out a breath, hastily pointing in a direction.

Xu Shu carried him, dashing through the night at a speed so fast that wind rushed into Hou Yong’s wide-open mouth, quickly reaching the first destination.

This was a clinic with a basement inside, where a lab coat-wearing “Doctor” was flirting with a young nurse, a practice certificate hanging on his chest—it was Yuwen.

“Do you recognize this?” Xu Shu showed him a glance at the sack.

“No, no I don’t…” Yuwen forced out the words.

“Still dare to lie.” Xu Shu didn’t say another word, took down the underground doctor, and walked off with him.

Afterwards, he began capturing people with extremely high efficiency based on Hou Yong’s statements.

In East City, he captured Yang Gang, in West City, caught a human trafficker, in South City, arrested a thug, in North City, handed over Sister Ao Xue.

Finally, Xu Shu went to a bath center in the “Boniu Collection” town, apprehending the well-educated, worldly-wise, renowned scholar Lao Xiang, who was enjoying the good life.

It’s worth mentioning that this bath center was called “Boniu Club,” filled with many plump and white Bonius, quite eye-catching.

In less than an hour, all members of the Residual Sound Society in the Yijiangnan Department’s territory, except for the Voodoo Boss, were tied up by Xu Shu and thrown into an abandoned warehouse.

“I think if Yi Jiangnan knew, they’d owe me a bow.”

Xu Shu calmly lit a stick of incense to dispel the musty smell in the room, simultaneously activating the Promotion Drive and inviting Zhong Xiaoya into the team.

“First batch of informants caught, come grab them.” Xu Shu said, sending a location as well.

“Copy that, I’ll be right there, one hour tops!” — Eat a Peach.

Xu Shu was momentarily stunned.

An hour? That’s too slow!

For someone who seems to be Old Yu’s sweetheart, her efficiency is far behind the Archbishop.

Back in the day, an hour was enough for the Archbishop to rush from the Safe Zone to the Wasteland’s edge to rescue me!

Xu Shu had some grievances, so he meditated in place, quietly waiting.

Meanwhile, the members of the Residual Sound Society he’d tied up were wrapped in cobwebs like mummies, hurling insults at Hou Yong.

“Hou Yong, what did you do? Weren’t we supposed to share wealth and glory!”

“Traitor!”

“Damn traitor, you betrayed us, you’ll die a horrible death!”

Faced with the curses of his companions, Hou Yong chuckled: “Who will die horribly is hard to say. Sir, everyone is here except for the dog thief Voodoo!”

He recognized the reality, and his stance shifted quickly. The former Voodoo Boss had become a dog thief.

The others hurriedly spoke to Xu Shu: “Sir, please see clearly, we are all good people. Hou Yong is slandering us, you can’t believe him!”

“Go explain it to the Judgement Department. As for you…”

Xu Shu’s lips curled slightly, reluctant to waste words with them, and looked coldly at Hou Yong, who was somewhat emboldened.

“S-Sir?” Hou Yong’s heart skipped a beat, and he quickly bent over fawningly, approaching.

Xu Shu chuckled: “Consider yourself lucky. Typically, I only offer one path, and that’s a dead end! But today, since you cooperated so well, I’ll leave you a path to live. You better pray you haven’t lied.”

Hou Yong hurriedly said: “Sir, I swear on my life, not a word of lies!”

“Hmm, I’ll have to leave in a moment. You stay here and watch them; someone from the Judgement Department will take over shortly. Ha ha, if there’s a mistake, you can try.” Xu Shu glanced at the time, smiling.

Upon hearing this, Hou Yong realized the man before him was not lying. He truly intended to offer him a way out, purposely leaving such credit for him to earn.

At this thought, Hou Yong knelt down, kowtowing to Xu Shu: “Your grace is like a rebirth parent, I will remember it forever.”

“Hmm.”

Xu Shu turned and left.

Actually, this was a test. If, after he left, Hou Yong was disobedient, choosing to flee, release people, or kill, he would lose his chance of leniency.

However, just as he reached the outside, suddenly he heard Hou Yong shouting: “Holy crap, it’s moving, it’s moving! Sir, it’s moving!”

“What’s moving?”

Xu Shu turned back, slightly surprised.

He saw the bright moonlight shining on the empty ground inside the room, and the burlap sack under the eyes of those assembled moved continually.

In no time, the sack’s opening was torn from the inside.

Two beautiful snow-white arms clawed their way out, moving on their own.

They seemed like two small people, further opening the sack and the black garbage bag, striving to drag out the “people fragments” inside.

“Heave-ho~”

“Heave-ho~”

“Hey!”

The two arms let out breathless shouts, and soon pulled out remaining body parts, calves, thighs, buttocks, waist, abdomen, and finally the neck and head.

The separated parts fell from the body, like Transformers, fervently reassembling themselves.

Xu Shu witnessed all of this, looking eerie and terrifying, yet inexplicably beautiful, making one reluctant to interrupt.

Finally, after a few minutes, a relatively “complete” girl was assembled.

She wore a cute white dress, with a shapely figure, slender waist, and slim white legs, lying gracefully on the ground, her round hips perked.

“Oh my, I’m exhausted~~”

The girl, as if losing all strength, propped herself up, laid on her back, staring at the ceiling like a flipped salted fish.

“…Eh, is it you?” She opened her mouth, saw Xu Shu standing at the door, blinked, recognizing him.

“…Damn, is it you?” Xu Shu saw the girl’s face too.

They had only parted ways earlier today, so of course he hadn’t forgotten her.

This person had brought him unprecedented pressure in reality, almost extinguishing him.

Xu Shu never expected that the two would meet just hours later, amid the wasteland’s midnight, in such an unfathomable way!

They looked at each other silently, seemingly stunned by each other’s presence, neither speaking for a moment.

The entire warehouse fell into a deathly silence for several minutes.

Finally, Xu Shu broke the silence.

“Excuse me, may I ask a question?”

He pointed to the open sack, at the lingering bloodstains, asked suspiciously: “Is this where your menacing title comes from?”

The woman before him was none other than Bai Yujing’s Daozi.

Ranked sixty-ninth on the Earthly List, a Demigod of great power.

“Dead Bodies Littering the Field,” Shui Longyin!
