Lu Shu glanced at Su Ming'an and opened his mouth. He seemed to have a lot to say, but in the end he only said one sentence:
"Then what do you need me to do?"
Lu Shu didn't care about the connection between Dream Patrol and the real world, nor did he care about the mystery. His action trajectory has always been simple - find Su Ming'an, help Su Ming'an, and finally, do his best to achieve Su Ming'an's success.
"Let me think about it..." Su Mingan thought, according to Li Mingyue's words, this abandoned town is a "safe spot". It seems that once you leave, something terrible will happen.
"For now..." Su Mingan said.
There was a sudden knock on the door.
"Dongdongdong."
The voice is slow, controlled and powerful.
Su Mingan went to open the door. The iron door with a sense of age opened with a creak, and a red-haired man stood at the door. The man's eyes were as beautiful as orange gems, as if they had the temperature of a strong flame. He was wearing a black and gold tight-fitting uniform, with a bright silver pistol on his waist, which glowed with a dazzling cold light in the sun.
"Hello, I am Li Yuxuan, the person in charge of the Urban Guardian Department." The red-haired man saw Su Mingan and showed a friendly smile: "I heard that you are going to intern at the Urban Guardian Department?"
"...Yes." Su Mingan nodded.
"Okay. Now let me introduce to you the execution mode of the Urban Guard Department..." Li Yuxuan is a very clean and tidy person. She does not talk nonsense when meeting, and directly explains to Su Mingan:
"The City Guardian Department is responsible for protecting the city, proactively eradicating the 'abnormalities' between cities, and confronting the evil old Holy See, and minimizing their mass murder of innocent humans."
"You can usually receive tasks at various branches of the City Guardian Department. We have branches in every country around the world."
"Complete tasks and you can get rewards and honors. It's a mercenary-like model. We will be ranked by the gods according to their contribution to the task, including SS level, S level, A level, B level, etc."
"Occasionally, there will be competitive competitions, activities that stimulate the progress of human beings."
Listening to this, Su Mingan felt that the model of the [Urban Guardian Department] was a bit like Praia's soul hunting - risking one's life to kill the souls hidden among humans, and there was a ranking based on contribution.
He has a good impression of this kind of righteous organization. Compared with the old Holy See that bombed the city, the City Guardian's behavior in protecting the people is admirable.
"I understand." Su Mingan nodded.
"Then let's start registering personal information." Li Yuxuan took out his tablet and electronic pen. It was obvious that he was a resolute person.
Su Mingan reported his personal information.
"Daoyacheng No. 1 High School... Su Wensheng. Okay." Li Yuxuan took a tablet and recorded: "Age? Family background? Ambition? What are you good at? Have you ever had a similar internship?"
Su Mingan blinked. I didn’t expect that he would have to write a resume when he came to the tenth world.
"19 years old." Su Mingan glanced at the records A Du had retrieved on her watch: "My father is a border guard and my mother's identity is unknown."
He has not seen his relatives until now, and his home has always been empty, not even a family photo or household registration book. If Ah Du hadn't searched for some household registration information, he wouldn't have been able to answer the question.
"My choice is Beiqing University. I am better at tackling difficult problems." Su Mingan said: "There is no similar internship. I have been in high school."
"Bang." Li Yuxuan closed the lid of the tablet: "I understand. Now that the guard department is short of people, I'll ask you to hurry up and get it on the shelf. I will bring you your work permit tomorrow. Let me tell you about the current situation. In the world There are a total of twenty-six countries and thirty-two independent cities, which means there are fifty-eight independent political systems in total. The abandoned city you are in is located in one-fifty-eighth of the Ubang country. "
"Yeah." Su Mingan nodded.
"I am in charge of all matters in Ubang State. You can always contact me if you have any questions." Li Yuxuan said.
"Do you have a high status?" Su Mingan asked.
Li Yuxuan did not expect that Su Mingan would ask such a direct question, and nodded: "Yes. I am in charge of all branches in the entire Ubang Kingdom. If I hadn't had a relationship with Li Mingyue, I wouldn't have come to communicate with you, a newcomer. But The situation has been critical recently, and it has happened very frequently, so I have no choice but to end the game personally. From now on, I should be the one to lead your team, which can be regarded as the top team in this country."
Su Ming'an thought of his vest and asked briefly: "What is the status of the deputy minister of the City Protection Department?"
Li Yuxuan was startled.
Then, enthusiasm appeared in his eyes:
"All you need to know is that the deputy secretary is the most charismatic and intelligent man."
Su Ming'an was confused by Li Yuxuan's words and couldn't help but say "Huh?"
"Although the minister is the supreme leader, only the deputy minister has been in contact with all parties. Without him, we would not be able to reach a contract with the military and unite mankind," Li Yuxuan said.
In Li Yuxuan's words, the deputy minister seemed to be an extremely tall and majestic figure, the spiritual leader of the entire guardianship department.
Su Mingan: "...uh."
"Uh, what, uh, be serious!" Li Yuxuan admonished, "You are a newcomer who is coming to intern, so you should have some respect for the leader!"
Su Mingan: "...Oh."
"You sign the internship agreement and come to the internship tomorrow." Li Yuxuan turned the tablet over and asked Su Mingan to sign.
When Su Mingan signed, he thought to himself - this is a really good start.
He is also the leader of the Human Self-Salvation Alliance and the deputy minister of the City Protection Department. Of the four major human forces, two are in my hands. It’s hard to imagine how to lose.
Later, Li Yuxuan asked to measure Su Mingan's strength.
Su Mingan used it and found that his most advanced talisman was only at the second level.
"I will bring you the work permit tomorrow." Li Yuxuan said: "Although others say that the Urban Guard Department is very dangerous, with a mortality rate of 60%, under my command, I will protect you and will not let you, an intern, die. . And if you have the second level, you can also be the captain. When the time comes, you will be guided by some newcomers."
Su Mingan was about to nod. A voice suddenly came from the side——
"...Can I participate? I will also go with Xiao Yunduo tomorrow."
Su Mingan looked sideways and saw Su Luoluo walking out of the room.
"If there are no problems in the review, we will not refuse anyone who comes." Li Yuxuan said.
Su Mingan did not stop Su Luoluo. If she could stay with him, she could also be protected.
As a result, as soon as Su Luoluo finished registering, Lu Shu rushed out of the room.
"I want to participate too." Lu Shu said expressionlessly.
"Who are you!" Su Luoluo was startled - where did this expressionless man in black robe come from?
"Su Wensheng's comrade." Lu Shu said calmly.
"A priest as a comrade?" Su Luoluo looked at Lu Shu suspiciously.
Su Mingan took a step forward and separated Lu Shu and Su Luoluo.
"You want to join the Guardian Department? I originally wanted you to go to Burris to see the situation." Su Mingan said.
Lu Shu looked confused for a while and said, "Then I'll listen to you."
"No, that's okay." Su Mingan thought for a while. If Lu Shu joined the Urban Guardian Department, it would be nice to have one more person to help him. As for Burris, you can play whatever you like.
After all registrations were completed, Li Yuxuan nodded to Su Mingan:
"Then, please have a good rest. The mission of the Guardian Department is not easy. It is not just as simple as being a hero in the city. Many tasks are cruel and bloody. Please maintain a good mental state."
"Okay." Su Mingan said.
Just as Li Yuxuan was about to leave, a dark shadow suddenly appeared at the door.
It was a man whose whole body was covered in a cloak, with only a pair of pale and slender hands showing, and he appeared quietly in the corridor.
Su Ming'an remembered - this was the cloaked man who called him "Deputy Minister" yesterday. He had promised that the cloaked man would come to protect Su Ming'an today, and he came as expected.
But this timing is really...unlucky!
"Elder? Why are you here?" Li Yuxuan bowed slightly towards the cloaked man. It seems that the cloaked man's status in the Guardian Department is higher than that of Li Yuxuan.
The cloaked man glanced at Li Yuxuan, thinking that Li Yuxuan was an insider who knew about "the deputy minister's seclusion". He walked directly towards Su Ming'an and wanted to kneel on one knee: "Deputy..."
"Stop!" Su Mingan immediately stretched out his hand to stop the cloaked man's movements.
Suddenly, a strange scene appeared.
Li Yuxuan bowed towards the cloaked man, and the cloaked man bowed towards Su Ming'an, while Su Ming'an stretched out his hands to stop the cloaked man's gift. The three people form a rotating circle.
Lu Shu and Su Luoluo stood aside blankly, unable to understand the situation in front of them.
Seeing this, the cloaked man thought quickly and quickly realized that Li Yuxuan was unaware of this matter. He immediately stood up straight and pretended as if nothing had happened.
Su Ming'an also immediately retracted his hand, pretending that he had done nothing.
"Elder? You just called the deputy..." Li Yuxuan had sharp ears and heard something was wrong.
"What the hell are you saying! You're hearing hallucinations! I've already told you that you need to balance work and rest when practicing Talisman Seal. Just look at those lunatics in the psychological counseling department, and that's a lesson for you! Reading every day without taking a break, that's what you'll end up with!" The man in black robe immediately changed the subject.
"Your mental condition is not very good either. Didn't you suddenly yell yesterday and say you wanted to eat stones in your stomach..." Li Yuxuan retorted.
Watching the exchange between the two, Su Mingan realized that the mental state of the world's strongest men was quite poor.
The stronger you become, the more in-depth you have to learn the talismans, and the brain will suffer more and more abnormal influences. Therefore, the mental state of strong people is generally abnormal. And the crazier the person, generally speaking, the stronger.
They integrate twisted, weird, terrifying, and desperate spiritual influences into themselves, taking crazy risks and constantly approaching the peak. Only in this way can the crumbling human population be protected.
No price, no gain.
One part madness, one part strength.
——This is the unchanging law of the old world. It is also the last light of human civilization on the verge of collapse.
…
A large merchant ship sails on the sea.
There was a strange aroma of brewing tea floating in the captain's room. A young captain in sailing uniform was concentrating on adding tea leaves to the pot and adjusting the heat.
】
On the table, the news came from the radio:
"Regarding the recent urban air raids, the old Holy See confessed. They admitted that they deliberately raided the city randomly to bring panic to the people. At noon today, the abandoned city of Daoya City also suffered an air raid, with 19 missiles The shells were dropped, causing countless casualties..."
"——Captain! We are almost reaching the edge of the world!" The sailor's report came from outside the cabin.
Hearing the sailor's voice, Su Lin stopped making tea, walked out of the captain's cabin, and looked into the distance.
Above the sea, several icebergs gradually appeared in the distance. Sailors stood on the deck observing the iceberg.
"Can't these icebergs be bypassed?" Su Lin asked.
After entering the dungeon, he kept looking for the gods, but failed to find them. So he decided to cross the edge of the world, maybe in this way he could find the gods. The sea area seems to be restricted by rules and cannot be flown, and can only be reached by sailing.
The old captain of this ship died. After paying money, Su Lin became the new captain of this big ship. On the vast sea, he wore a captain's hat and looked at his still young face in the mirror. Suddenly he seemed to be the high-spirited young captain in Praia again, and nothing seemed to have changed.
"There is no way around the iceberg. If we want to cross the edge of the world and reach unreached areas, we can only-" the sailor pursed his lips and said loudly:
"—Captain, we can only break these icebergs!"
Su Lin smiled and said, "Then let's hit him."
"Yeah!" The sailors high-fived each other, full of motivation for this adventure.
"All--!"
A whistle blew, and the ship crashed into the iceberg. Su Lin used flames, and golden-red flames spurted out, like hundreds of firebirds swooping on the sea, melting the iceberg in front of him, allowing the ship to pass.
"It's going to melt! It's going to melt! It's going to pass!"
The sailors' faces were full of excitement, and Su Lin was also in a happy mood. Surrounded by sailors, he seemed to have returned to his youth. It seems that as long as you work hard enough, everything will have wonderful results.
At this moment——
"Wow——!"
A bright green tentacle suddenly emerged from the bottom of the sea and blocked the front of the ship.
"What!" the sailors cried out in panic, and the excitement on their faces faded instantly.
Su Lin frowned slightly and looked at the sea.
More and more jade-green tentacles appeared, and then, a tentacle monster like a sacred tree slowly surfaced on the water, revealing a huge body that covered the sky and the sun. Its shape is exactly the same as the tentacled monster Su Mingan had seen in "Lou Yue Kingdom".
[Do not cross the edge of the world. ] The tentacle monster said in a cold voice: [Leave quickly, otherwise, you will die. 】
——It turns out that the edge of the world cannot be crossed. Once you get close, a terrifying monster will stop people.
"Are you the god of this world?" Su Lin thought this was the god.
[Do not cross the edge of the world. ] The tentacle monster did not answer his question and raised its ferocious tentacles: [Otherwise, death. 】
Su Lin took a step forward and raised the flaming sword in his hand. He is not afraid of the threat of the tentacle monster at all, he just wants to have a good fight with this thing.
At this time, he suddenly saw the sailors next to him.
The sailors sat on the ground, their faces full of fear, and their faces were full of tears in front of the huge size of the tentacled monster.
Thinking that if a war broke out, it would be difficult for these sailors to survive, Su Lin was silent for a moment and took back the sword in his hand. He does not care about the lives of humans in other worlds, but these deaths cannot be caused by him.
"Turn around." Su Lindan said calmly, "Go back."
