Chapter 182: Chapter 15 Esoteric Buddhism Evil Ritual, Flawless Curse Crystal, Demon Divine Chosen (Subscribe Please)A police officer at the back stood on the balcony and looked down, but saw nothing out of the ordinary. As he turned, he accidentally kicked a basin on the ground soaked with a young girlâs clothes.
Ripples swished back and forth, the pink garments floating up and down.
The middle-aged officerâs eyes blurred for a moment, feeling as if a light had flashed before his eyes, or perhaps it was just an illusion.
Xu Shu: ...
Zhou Shiyu: ...
The two of them, in a flash, looked at the officer without expression.
He was still oblivious and was about to peer into the basin subconsciously.
At that moment, Zhou Shiyu suddenly spoke up, "Officer uncle, I just heard some terrifying screams. Youâve come to chase down a monster, havenât you?"
Her tone was a bit timid, and her eyes were red as she looked at him, on the verge of crying.
The officer felt that if this girl didnât have her brother holding her, there would be no doubt that she would collapse and start sobbing.
The girl stammered out,
"The teachers say that as long as the Star Tower is here, the monsters from outside the walls canât get in, but just now the other officers were clearly..."
The officer paused, "Yes, the monsters... they were killed."
"So they sacrificed themselves to protect us, right?"
"Well, actually..."
"Actually, itâs because youâre here protecting us that the safe zone can be so secure, right? What Star Tower protecting us, itâs all lies in the books... Clearly, youâre the true Guardians, the real heroes who remain unsung... My dad always hoped that when my brother grows up, he could become someone like you, someone who can protect everyone... Officer uncle, thank you for guarding this place, wuwuwu..."
The mid-aged officer trembled, his head lifted, looking incredulously at Zhou Shiyu who was about the same age as his daughter.
His heart was trembling, and he felt a long-absent passion rekindled within him.
At this moment, he found it impossible to utter the truth, "Weâre just sent here on orders by our superiors to find Esoteric believers; we have absolutely no interest in protecting you poor folks."
How could he say such a thing?
To tell a girl who admired them as low-level officers such cruel words would be nothing short of a crime!
After a while, with a hoarse voice, he said,
"Kids, Iâm sorry to have frightened you, but rest assured, if a monster comes in, we will be there, guarding in front of you!"
He stood up straight, saluted the siblings with moist eyes, and followed his teammatesâ steps with a firm stride.
Inside the house.
Xu Shu watched the logistics team that had come to collect the corpses leave, then he closed the door.
He gave his sister a thumbs-up, "6, your acting was amazing."
The sister was so skilled, she must have had her share of manipulations with her girlfriends and roommates at school, right?
"Heh, donât talk nonsense, I really believe it."
Zhou Shiyu said proudly, tilting her neck, then whispered, "That gem just now, was it a Demonâs Erosion Crystal? Purple, right? Let me see..."
As she spoke, she reached under the clothes in the basin to find the Curse Crystal Xu Shu had put there.
"Pretty much, but donât touch it." Seará´h the NovelĆire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Xu Shu hurriedly stopped her.
It wasnât that he was stingy, but the object in question was a Curse Crystal, and its damage to the skin was incomparable to ordinary Erosion Crystals.
Moreover, since it was inherently similar to the "Curse Seal," just touching the Curse Crystal would initiate a containment-like process.
Although a simple touch and withdrawal wouldnât be fatal.
But for a girl, the pain was inevitable, feeling like touching a red-hot iron.
Seeing Xu Shu carefully put away the very beautiful purple gem with shiny purple characters floating up and down, Zhou Shiyu couldnât help but purse her lips, "Brother, donât you think you owe me a reasonable explanation? Thanks to you, your sister has become a bad kid who lies to the police."
"Protecting family is a noble virtue; it is what you should do. If thereâs a next time, please do it even more convincingly. You did very well today."
"Really?" Zhou Shiyu tilted her head, pondering.
Xu Shu boldly declared, "Of course."
As for his sister learning to lie, Xu Shu didnât mind at all, calling it mutual familial concealment.
If the roles were reversed, he would naturally try his best to hide things for his sister.
If a person would betray their closest family for so-called ârighteousnessâ, Xu Shu thought they wouldnât even qualify as human. Of course, there are principles and lines that shouldnât be crossed.
Like what Xu Shu did today, it was by no means crossing the line.
Seeing he remained silent, Zhou Shiyu changed the topic, "You must have encountered a lot in the Wasteland this time, and becoming a Transcendent from an ordinary person isnât easy, is my brother going to become the next Director of the Supervision Bureau?"
Every child in the D8B3 district knew that the local Director of the Supervision Bureau was once an unqualified commoner who then came across an opportunity in the Wasteland, becoming a powerful Transcendent, always a role model for the ordinary citizens.
â Like Xu Shu used to believe, no doubt about it.
But now, he could only say who believes that story is a fool.
"Things arenât safe here today, donât stay, weâll go stay in a hotel," said Xu Shu, glancing at the moonlit sky.
"Ah, why, are you going to waste money again?"
"What, you donât like staying in a hotel? If youâre not afraid, you can stay here alone; Iâm going to book a room and sleep."
