Chapter 55 The Strange Captain (Nearly 6,000 words)
Feeling that the cultivation of these two people was at the sixth level of Qi Condensation, after analysis, Xu Qing felt that they were not threats and that he was now capable of killing them, so he felt at peace in his heart.
The young man seemed to be aware of Xu Qing's gaze, and instinctively touched his neck. His expression became a little solemn. He felt that the newcomer in front of him was different from other newcomers.
The female cultivator next to him also noticed it. She narrowed her eyes and showed interest. She licked her lips and said something to the young man.
"Watch the door, I'll take this junior brother in." As she said that, she showed a sweet smile and personally led Xu Qing into the murder department.
"Junior brother, come with me."
Xu Qing thanked him.
The young man at the door looked at this scene and shook his head slightly.
"This slut, are you going to change your appearance? But this guy, although he is a little different from the other newcomers, in this place like the Murder Division, it's hard to say whether he can survive more than three months."
At this moment, Xu Qing kept a certain distance in the Crime Hunting Department and followed the woman in front of him as he walked in the courtyard of the Crime Hunting Department. All he saw were disciples wearing gray robes like him.
Any one of them has at least the fifth or sixth level of Qi Condensation. There are some who are at the seventh or eighth level of Qi Condensation. Some are indifferent, some seem gentle, some have the smell of blood, and some are... He was carrying daily necessities in his hands, as if he were ordinary.
Looking at it as a whole, it is difficult to see any consistent atmosphere belonging to the same department, and there is some distance between them, as if they are repelling each other to get close to each other.
Xu Qing silently observed the surroundings, his eyes sweeping over the necks of every monk who walked by, judging in his heart the fighting strength and whether he could kill them.
This is his instinct.
Soon, Xu Qing became more vigilant, because he found that there were many people who were difficult to kill, and some even made him feel a strong threat.
At the same time, he also began to pay attention to the structure of the Murder Division and quickly sketched it in his mind.
At the same time, the woman in front suddenly stepped back and approached him, smiling softly.
"Junior brother, why do you always like to look at other people's necks?"
As she spoke, the woman had reached Xu Qing's side. She raised her right hand and was about to touch Xu Qing's chest, but the next moment her expression changed. She backed up suddenly, took out a few pills and swallowed them. When she raised her head to look at Xu Qing, her expression changed. A moment of condensation.
"I don't like others to get close to me." Xu Qing looked at the woman in front of him calmly.
The woman took a deep look at Xu Qing, nodded, and put away her inner thoughts. At this moment, she had realized that the new person in front of her was not simple.
"It's interesting. People like you may be able to live longer in the Murder Division." After saying that, the woman continued to lead the way. This time, it was not Xu Qing who wanted to keep a distance between the two, but the woman who took the initiative to keep a distance from him. Within a certain range, and did not continue to speak.
Not long after, under the guidance of the woman, after bypassing seven or eight attics and several paths, Xu Qing was soon brought to a large hall. The darkness inside the hall was in stark contrast to the sunlight outside.
"Director, there is a new person here to report, named Xu Qing." When the woman arrived, her expression became more solemn. After speaking loudly, she stood there with her head lowered and motionless.
Xu Qing looked solemn as well, lowering his head and waiting.
After a while, in the dark hall, two bright lights seemed to light up instantly. They were a pair of eyes, which penetrated the void, shot out from the hall, and fell on Xu Qing.
Being stared at by this gaze, Xu Qing's body trembled, and he felt a strong coercion descending on his body, as if there was a suffocating beast in this hall.
Xu Qing's hair stood on end and his breathing was rapid. He subconsciously placed his right hand on his side and his body bent slightly.
Fortunately, this gaze was quickly withdrawn, but at this moment, before Xu Qingsong could get angry, the token in his left hand was instantly entangled by a strong force and broke free.
With a whoosh, he ran straight into the hall.
This force was so strong that Xu Qing could not resist it. He even felt that if the pulling force fell not on the token but on himself, he would be dragged directly into the hall.
Xu Qing's forehead was sweating until a long while later, a cold voice came from the hall.
"Go and report to Xuanzi Team Six."
As the words echoed, Xu Qing's identity token and a badge rushed out from the hall at extremely fast speeds, approaching Xu Qing in an instant.
Xu Qing's eyes narrowed, and he raised his hand to grab it. The shock force he felt from the token and badge in his hand was extremely strong, and it poured into his whole body, causing his upper body to shake involuntarily a few times, but his legs were very stable, and he did not take a step back.
.
This scene made the eyes in the hall brighten up again. Without saying a word, they slowly closed them again.
The female disciple on the side shrank when she saw Xu Qing's performance after catching the token and badge.
"The level of vigilance is comparable to that of an old man in the sect, and yet he has such strength..." The woman blinked. Originally, she had planned to stop contacting Xu Qing after realizing that he was not easy to mess with. But now her mind has changed and she wants to be a good friend.
Because of the fate, he opened his mouth.
"Junior Brother Xu Qing, I know the Sixth Team well, I'll take you there." As she said that, she motioned for Xu Qing to put on the badge.
Xu Qing took a deep breath, put on the badge, clasped his fists towards the main hall, and then thanked the female disciple.
Although he is young, his many years of experience have made him very sensitive to people's hearts.
Seeing the constant changes in the attitude of the female disciple in front of him, he guessed the reason.
In fact, this was indeed the case. This time on the way, the female disciple took the initiative to introduce herself to Xu Qing.
"Junior brother, my name is Xu Yanhong. I am from the ninth team of the Ground Force. It just so happens that I am on duty at the gate today. It is also fate between you and me."
Xu Yanhong walked with Xu Qing inside the Murder Department, pointing at each building attentively and introducing it to him.
"This is the deputy director's official office, and there's one over there too."
"Senior Sister Xu, how many deputy directors are there in the Murder Division?" Xu Qing asked after thinking.
"Our Murder Division has a director and four deputy directors. It is divided into four divisions, Xuanhuang and Tiandi. Each division has nine patrol teams under its command. The one you want to go to is Team Xuanzi Six."
"You're lucky. Your deputy director of the Xuan Department has been in seclusion all year round. He rarely meets her on weekdays, so he will have a lot of leisure." Hearing Xu Qing call her senior sister, the female disciple had a smile on her face again and explained.
.
Not long after, under her guidance, Xu Qing was taken to the location of the Xuanbu. The entire Xuanbu was located in the southwest of the Murder Division. There were more than a dozen small buildings inside, and many monks were busy coming in and out of each other.
.
There seemed to be some taboos between the various branches, so Xu Yanhong did not step in. After sending Xu Qing there, they exchanged voice messages and left.
Here, Xu Qing met the captain of the sixth team.
This was not the first time he had seen this person. It was the young man he met on the road last night who made him feel in danger. This coincidence made Xu Qing feel alert again.
When the young man saw Xu Qing, he glanced at his face for a few times and quickly seemed to recognize him, but he seemed not surprised by his arrival.
This scene made Xu Qing thoughtful and took a few steps back calmly.
"I told the director this morning that I asked you to come here. I didn't expect that after you wiped your face clean, you would be so different from yesterday." The captain of the sixth team did not hide anything and said it directly.
"I've met the captain." Xu Qing glanced at the captain, becoming more alert and said softly.
"Not surprised?" The captain of the sixth team smiled half-heartedly.
"Unexpected." Xu Qing nodded.
"How could the accident be so peaceful?" the captain of the sixth team asked in surprise.
Xu Qing was not good at words, but he felt that what the other party said made sense, so he thought about it and squeezed out a surprised expression.
"..." The captain of the sixth team was silent and spoke after a while.
"The reason why I asked you to come is because several people in my team have died in the past few days, we are short of manpower, and the upcoming tasks are heavy." The captain of the sixth team said this and looked at Xu Qing.
Xu Qing's heart sank when he heard the words "several people died", but he didn't say anything to ask. Instead, he looked at the captain and waited for the next step.
Seeing Xu Qing like this, the captain of the sixth team smiled with satisfaction.
"Yes, it is better than the previous newcomers. Xu Qing, you are here for the first time today and you are not familiar with it yet. So, I will take you on a patrol and explain to you in detail the responsibilities of the murder department."
The captain of these six teams was also a resolute man. After speaking, he took Xu Qing away without introducing the other team members and walked on the street.
On the bustling street, the captain of the sixth team took Xu Qing and walked forward, sometimes greeting the surrounding shops. He looked very gentle, but Xu Qing saw the fierceness in the other person's eyes last night and knew that this person was not as superficial as he appeared.
He is gentle, so he always keeps a certain distance and is on guard.
In his heart, he also had some judgment about the cultivation level of the captain in front of him. He felt that he should be at the ninth or tenth level of Qi Condensation.
A disciple of the Seventh Blood Eye Condensing Qi Ninth and Tenth Level, his combat power has surpassed that of Xu Qing before him.
"Don't keep a straight face all day long. Here, you have to learn to have two faces. Otherwise, you won't live long." The captain of the sixth team looked at Xu Qing.
Xu Qing was silent, thought for a while, and felt that there was some truth in what he said, so he tried hard to adjust his face. However, the experience of the past seven years made it difficult for him to completely change in a short period of time.
"Forget it, just adjust slowly." The captain of the sixth team smiled helplessly. He felt that he had recruited a weirdo, so he bought a few apples from the side and did not give them to Xu Qing.
Xu Qing took a look and bought two.
"Let me tell you about the responsibilities of our Seventh Peak Murder Division. The Seventh Peak Murder Division only does one thing, and that is to kill people." As he spoke, the captain of the sixth team saw a homeless man on the roadside.
He threw two spiritual coins over casually, and the homeless man was very grateful.
Xu Qing looked at the homeless man and saw that he was not a monk, so he recalled the captain's words in his heart and asked.
"Murderer?"
The captain of the sixth team took a bite of the apple, swallowed it with a click, it looked very sweet, and spoke with a casual expression.
"Protect civilians from being invaded by disciples and evil forces, let them work hard to earn money to pay residence fees, and maintain basic public order. This is what the Inspection Department has to do, but when they encounter things that they cannot handle, such as facing
The desperate people and brutal cultivators on the front line need our murderous arresting department to take action."
"So what our Murder Division faces are extremely dangerous missions with huge losses. In front of you, the Sixth Team has changed countless people. Some died on missions, and some were killed secretly, so
You have to be careful next time."
"But our Murder Division also has advantages, that is, the treatment is good, and it is the only department that can exchange wanted criminals for money." After speaking, the captain took another bite of the apple.
Xu Qing looked at the apple in his hand, was silent for a moment, and asked seriously.
"What happens to the opponent's items after killing them?"
"Huh?" The captain of the sixth team turned around and took a serious look at Xu Qing for the first time, with a smile on his face.
"It's interesting. You are the first newcomer to ask such words after hearing my introduction. Then I will tell you a few more words. After you kill the desperadoes and cruel people alone, the spoils will be yourself.
Yes, if everyone works together, it will naturally be divided."
"In addition, in this main city, if you see some people, it's best to avoid them. Don't mess with them." The captain of the sixth team said, pointing to the street in the distance, where a young man wearing a lavender robe was walking proudly.
After walking through the crowd, I stepped into a shop, and the shop owner came out to greet me respectfully.
Everyone around him looked in awe and lowered their heads when they saw the Taoist robe he was wearing. Even some of the patrolling disciples did the same thing.
It was as if the appearance of this person was like the son of God walking into the mortal world, making people afraid to look directly at him.
Xu Qing's eyes narrowed.
"You have to remember that in the main city of Qixuetong, people wearing dark robes and light-colored robes cannot be provoked. The former...are the foundation-building seniors on the mountain, and you can't provoke them either.
The latter are the core disciples of the sect who can live on the mountain. Their cultivation is not foundation building, but their lives are good."
"If a hundred of us die, it's not a big deal, but if one of these core disciples with good fortunes dies, it's a big deal."
Xu Qing was silent, looking up at the seven peaks of the Seven Blood Eyes in the distance.
"Envy it, live well and practice well. When you are promoted to Foundation Establishment, these core disciples will bow their heads when they see you." The captain of the sixth team gnawed on an apple, his expression as usual.
"In addition, let me remind you that the sect does not allow gray-robed disciples like us to kill each other, but only on the surface, so you have to learn how to deal with corpses. It is best to take the other party's contribution points and
After using the spirit stone, let him return to zero and be expelled by the formation..." The captain of the sixth team coughed and gestured to the street on the other side with his chin.
"Just like that one."
Xu Qing looked along where the captain was pointing and saw a young man wearing a gray robe lying there. The young man was dying, with wounds all over his body. There was resentment and grief in his eyes at the moment.
It's just that his mouth was smashed, his limbs were broken, he couldn't say a word, and he couldn't move. The number on the identity token on his chest had returned to zero.
Soon, under the witness of Xu Qing, the young man passed the time limit for leaving. As a black light fell from the sky, his figure twitched violently, his body and soul were destroyed, and he turned into ashes.
The vitality seemed to be sucked away, merged into nothingness, and disappeared.
This scene made Xu Qing's eyes freeze, but the passers-by around him seemed accustomed to this, and they walked away in a hurry without even looking at them.
"This man has done many things to kill his fellow disciples and rob him. It is normal for him to be killed now." The captain smiled and was about to continue speaking, but his expression suddenly froze and he looked not far away.
Xu Qing on the side turned his head almost at the same time as him, looking at the alley not far away, where there were unusual fluctuations.
The place they were in was considered a busy city, but the alley was very dark and incompatible with the surroundings, and most people on the road avoided it.
"How dare you do this in broad daylight." The captain of the sixth team sighed.
"Junior brother, please wait for me for a moment." As he said that, he took the apple that he was about to finish and walked towards the alley not far away. Xu Qing narrowed his eyes and watched the captain walk into the alley, which was about a dozen people.
During the break, the figure of the captain of the sixth team walked out of the alley while eating an apple.
A faint smell of blood permeated his body.
Xu Qing glanced at the alley.
"There is an unlucky guy. There was a problem with the transplanted organ of an alien beast, and he turned into an alien beast. I advise you not to take this path in the future. Although you can quickly increase your cultivation level, there will be endless troubles." The captain of the sixth team smiled gently.
He smiled, looked harmless, and continued walking forward.
Xu Qing was silent. The person he killed last night also had organs from alien animals transplanted. Before that, Xu Qing didn't know that this could be done.
At this moment, he nodded and looked at the sweetness of the captain's apple, so he picked up the portion he bought and took a bite. It was indeed very sweet.
In this way, the two of them were eating apples and walking in the city. Time passed slowly. The captain of the sixth team ate quickly, while Xu Qing ate slowly.
After arriving at the back, the captain looked at the other apple in Xu Qing's hand many times.
Xu Qing also looked at him and took another bite.
The captain touched his nose, took out an orange from his pocket, and ate it.
"Let me tell you about the recent mission. Our main goal these days is to search for the remnants of Night Dove."
"Yejiu?" Xu Qing's eyes narrowed.
"Yejiu is a very mysterious and huge organization in Nanhuang Continent. It specializes in selling children and monks to be treasure raisers. They usually just do these dirty things outside. Recently, they actually came to my Seven Blood Pupils to do this kind of thing.
This incident has caused panic among the common people. If this continues, the big shots on the mountain will not be happy when they see less income."
"As you saw last night, one of their leaders has been killed by the director. The remaining culprits need to be dispatched by the murder departments of our seven districts to find out and eradicate them."
When Xu Qing heard this, a cold light flashed in his eyes. He immediately thought of the old man in the convoy who was killed by him. He slowly narrowed his eyes and nodded lightly.
The captain of the sixth team was a smart man. He glanced at Xu Qing and seemed to see something. However, he did not ask. Instead, he took Xu Qing around the city and introduced the inspection.
On the way, Xu Qing saw a wandering child, and thought of the captain's previous actions, so he gave him a spirit coin.
"Hey, is this your informant too?" The captain blinked and looked at Xu Qing with a half-smile.
Xu Qing was stunned for a moment, then understood, and said nothing, but he felt like he was being tricked.
Soon, as the sun was setting, they arrived at the port.
As they walked in, in an area where a large number of transportation items were placed and piled up like hills, a honest voice came from a distance.
"If you say one more word, I will tear your mouth apart."
Xu Qing looked up and immediately saw a Seventh Peak disciple squatting beside the goods pile not far away. This man was middle-aged, looked unprepossessing and honest.
The words were spoken by him.
In front of him was an old man dressed in luxurious clothes. His expression was angry at the moment. It was obvious that he had just had a quarrel with the middle-aged man.
"Whose mouth are you going to tear apart? Zhang San." The captain of the sixth team finished the orange in his hand, took out a pear, took a bite and walked over.
Seeing the captain of the sixth team, the old man's expression changed and he left quickly. As for the middle-aged disciple sitting there, he turned to look at the captain of the sixth team with a naive smile. After saying hello, he also smiled naively at Xu Qing.
.
"This is the new member of our Murder Division, Xu Qing." The captain of Team 6 introduced with a smile, then pointed at the middle-aged disciple and spoke to Xu Qing.
"His name is Zhang San. He used to be in our Murder Division. Later, he was afraid of death and was transferred to the Transportation Division. Don't look at his honest and honest appearance. The pirate cultivator who died in his hands..."
"This place can be filled up." The captain of the sixth team gestured towards the majestic cargo.
Xu Qing was immediately alert, and what made him more focused was that he didn't feel too strong a fluctuation in the opponent's body. If it was true as Team Six said, then obviously there was something weird about this unattractive Zhang San.
"Wherever there is, it's just rumors. I just killed a few thieves. Alas, I still feel pity for them." Zhang San rubbed his hands helplessly and continued to laugh naively.
Xu Qing was silent. He didn't see the slightest look of pity on the other person's face.
"Junior brother Xu Qing, don't listen to the captain's nonsense. Please take good care of him in the future." Zhang San said, turned over and handed Xu Qing a piece of animal bone.
"Meeting gift."
