Chapter 118: Chapter 89 Xu Shu: Fengxian, my son, why are you like this? (2/3, please subscribe)He was killed inexplicably.

And it happened inside the safe zone city, instantaneously; Xu Shu found this hard to accept.

Different from the chaos of the Wasteland, the safe zone was a place "with laws."

"Where the Star Tower shines, truth pervades," this saying might not apply to the Wasteland which was too vast and chaotic, beyond the limits of human control.

But, as long as you were inside the safe zone, this phrase was extremely effective.

No one dared to kill someone in the safe zone, especially not so blatantly in broad daylight, using weapons similar to laser cannons.

This was practically rubbing the entire Supervision Bureau’s face into the ground fiercely.

Xu Shu thought carefully.

"That orange seller, the moment she spoke, I died."

"Does that mean, her speaking was a signal for someone to make their move?"

"Alright, alright, I’d like to see today, who exactly wants to kill me."

This was what truly baffled Xu Shu.

It wasn’t his first time entering the safe zone.

As someone born in the New Era, Xu Shu had grown up in this safe zone.

For over a decade, he had lived a cautious and healthy life, having few friends and relatives, and had never offended anyone.

Although he had killed several Transcendents recently, especially from the Salvation Army, he had been thorough and neat, leaving no trace for information leakage.

Moreover... if it were people from the Salvation Army who had learned about it and wanted to kill him, why not do it in the Wasteland?

Unless, they didn’t know where he was!

So...

"Could it be that my foster father is actually a well-hidden recluse with deeply-rooted enemies, now willing to trade death soldiers to completely eliminate my whole family? So, since they can’t find me in the Wasteland, they waited in the city?"

Xu Shu stroked his chin.

Firstly, it was hard to explain how his father, being so capable, still let his family live such a hard life, recluse or not, should have a better life, right?

Even harder to explain, how did they coincidentally wait for him right at the city gate he entered? Did they really station people at every gate? That’s too...

Wait a moment.

Xu Shu’s eyes fell on the wall next door.

There, he could hear Gu Pan’s even breathing reaching his ears.

Xu Shu’s expression gradually became suspicious.

"Could it be this woman’s backup plan?

"These past few days she has always been superficially polite with me, actually making me lower my guard deliberately, so she could finish me off when we returned to the city?"

Damn, it seemed possible!

On this return, the only person who was with him all the way and could have known the information in advance was just Gu Pan.

Moreover, Xu Shu knew this woman had a powerful background, she had the strength and motive to kill him.

She herself had confessed that she wanted to steal the Curse Seal, perhaps her greedy ambitions had flared up again?

Thinking this made him even more suspicious of Gu Pan.

"Heh, I don’t need to guess, testing will reveal the truth! If it is really you, then you have chosen a path of death, and you will be done in by me!"

"Tai Chu Scroll, initiate the journey mode!"

In the scene, Gu Pan appeared tightly bound, the image of her fair skin being constricted by each tight wrap.

She was wrapped in a quilt, bundled up into a big ball, with her lush shoulders partly exposed in a deep V-cut and her body laid out unconscious, irresistibly tempting anyone to bury their head into her and take a deep breath.

"You filthy thing, I do have principles, okay?"

Xu Shu was speechless. This Tai Chu Scroll was really filled with dirty thoughts, and yet it had the audacity to criticize him often.

[Rating: Oh yes, now that you’ve seen it with your own eyes, you were struck dead by the Star Tower, it’s such a bad thing!

And you, knowing full well about the danger, still charged towards it, a real fool seeking death, but since you’re looking for death, why not make it simpler, Master?]

Huh???

Wait, so it was the Star Tower that killed me?

Xu Shu widened his eyes, looking towards the east—although there was just a wall in front of him.

"Does the Star Tower even emit electricity?"

"... I’ve lived for over a decade, and this is the first time I’ve seen it!"

"But why would it do that?"

Looking at the Tai Chu Scroll’s inventory, the *2 was rather glaring.

Xu Shu fell completely silent.

Really damn.

Star Tower... Star Tower is a relic connected to Lie Zhenzi.

So you’re saying Lie Zhenzi wanted to kill me?

Without him, humans would’ve been wiped out by monsters long ago, the glorious humanity, the great sage’s left behind holy relic wants to kill me???

Damn, then why the hell am I even alive.

Jumping off, brothers.
