Chapter 287 Reading = Sleeping
"Roy, find me a room behind the church. I will start to serve Storm devoutly, live in the church every day, and lead a life of poverty and moderation."

Old Blue returned to the office of Holy Wind Cathedral and said helplessly.

"Old man, what's wrong? Don't you have a wide network of contacts in Backlund? Can you easily find a place to live?"

Roy asked curiously.

Old Bruce held his forehead and said:

"Don't mention it. Klein is living with a woman. It would be so inconvenient for an old man like me to move in.

"The Kelly family... Oh, I'm afraid of picking up bad habits. Forget it, the church is more suitable for me... No, as a devout Storm believer, isn't it normal for me to live in a church?!"

Roy suppressed his laughter and said:
"It's just right. It's convenient to investigate cases in the church. When I'm free, I can go to the training ground to be an instructor. After the case is investigated, I can go to the underground 'Azure Gate' to be a guard. It's really good."

Old Bruce said with a look of despair:

"Whatever. Anything is fine. Hey, you are worthy of exploiting retired elderly people, Roy! You are already the 'Singer of the Sea', right? Sing a song for us to hear?"

"Impulse!" Roy yelled, his voice was pretty good, and he waved his hand:

"Just kidding. If all else fails, why don't you stay at my house?"

Old Bruce said with a chuckle:

"After I quit drinking, I will never go to another Storm believer's house again! Alcoholic! I advise you to take care of yourself!
"By the way, do you know the 'William Hotel' in the dark? It has exquisite decoration and unique style, and most importantly, it is free for 'night watchers' to stay there!
"If you think about the homeless elderly and the hotel, what do you think of? Do you have the urge to open a hotel?"

Roy shook his head and said:
"Nothing else will be discussed until the murder case is resolved!"

"Tsk... isn't it just a 'devil' dog..."

Old Bruce curled his lips and said:

"Find a warrior cat and I guarantee you'll beat the other guy into submission."

"That's the problem,"

Roy nodded and said:
"Most of the seals of the Warrior Path in the church have been exchanged for the Church of Evernight, and it is too troublesome to take out the higher sequence ones, so..."

"What? Ask me to borrow it? Do I have the nerve to do that?!"

Old Bruce said in disbelief:

"This is official business, right? We should handle official business in an official manner! Issue a document and ask the Church of Night to help investigate. By the way, ask Ikanser to bring the mirror over. The 'demon dog' must die in one night! Why are you going to such trouble?"

"Very good! Let's do it! You are in charge of this matter. I said you have a wide network of contacts. Look, isn't this reflected?"

Roy pushed the stamped document over and said with a helpless expression:
"According to the order of His Excellency 'Singer of God', we should first deal with the 'Aurora Society' and then the 'Murder Case'... There are only so many Substitute Punishers and so many resources. What do you think I should do? Which one do you think should come first?"

Old Blue was silent for a while. Why did he feel like a moving disaster? Wherever he went, he encountered such a mess?

Hmm? All these messes were caused by my other aliases? That's fine... Isn't it just me investigating myself? Yes! "Leave it to me..."

"Okay! As long as you agree!" Roy no longer had the helplessness, sadness, or grief he had just felt. He said with renewed energy:
"You can choose any low-sequence personnel you want. The team leaders who will be meeting in the morning will also cooperate with you to solve the case as soon as possible! I promise that your "Tingen Extraordinary Gathering" will be approved later!"

Old Blue tilted his head back and nodded with difficulty.

……

"I am your new instructor. Now, I will select the best two to go out with me on a mission! That's right, you have been training for so long, it's time for you to have a real fight!" Old Blue was talking to the rows of Punishers in the training ground. He looked a little strange. Why were Xio and Fors standing alone in the first row? How could they be treated specially just because they were women?

“My selection criteria are very simple!”

Whoosh! A gust of wind appeared out of nowhere, swirling around the old man, and immediately turned into sharp, transparent wind blades! Old Blue waved his hand casually, and the wind blades swept towards everyone. He roared:
"The one who runs the fastest is the one I want! Run! Under the pursuit of fear, under the threat of death, use all means to escape!"

At this moment, something shocking happened. A group of strong men immediately stood in front of the only two ladies and shouted resolutely:

"Big sister, run first! We'll block them!"

"Fors, run first!" Xio excitedly pulled out the "Reckless Three-edged Thorn" from his lower back, resolutely stood with everyone else, and faced the oncoming wind blade.

"..." Fors ran two steps, and after seeing her friend turn around, she returned to Xio's side.

"..." Old Blue was stunned. What was going on? Did he really bring out the "dog-licking virus"? These Punishers were instantly infected? Their personalities had changed!
He controlled the wind blade storm to spin wildly around the group of people, actually creating a scene of a doomsday storm!

Swoosh! A wind blade cut through a man's face, blood immediately flowed down, the man was stunned, but still did not move!

Whoosh! Ding!
Another wind blade flew out, but was blocked by a sharp three-edged thorn! It was Xiu!
"Oh! Big sister, big sister!" All the men actually started cheering in unison!
"..." Old Blue couldn't bear it anymore, and waved his hand violently! Endless wind blades instantly enveloped everyone! However, most of them did not cause any harm, only some of the wind blades neatly scratched a mark on the left face of everyone, including the two ladies.

"You guys are all unqualified! Facing fear and an unstoppable enemy, running away is not shameful! Staying to die is stupid! At least you have to bring out information about the enemy!

“Death is not a difficult thing, but the one who carries everything and continues to live is a real man!
“That lady, the one who ran away two steps, yes, that’s you, come here, I only want you.

"That 'refined' lady, um, you have a high reputation, huh? Very good, now you are the instructor of this place, and you will be responsible for this task from now on, until... until you know how to escape, that's it."

"Congratulations, Big Sister!" "Oh! Big Sister got promoted!" "Oh! In the future, I can be alone with Big Sister..."

"Ah?" Xiu was dumbfounded. Only she and Old Blue knew how uncomfortable it was to confine her to the training ground! She was clearly capable of carrying out various missions!

"..." Fors ran to Old Blue in shame. No one else ran, but she ran two steps! It's over. I can't stay in this place anymore!

Old Blue nodded to Fors and said:
"I officially declare that Ms. Fors Wall is an official and qualified substitute punisher starting today, and is the only one who has passed the assessment at Training Ground No. 3 this time! Her weekly salary will be increased to 20 pounds, and will be jointly borne by the church and the police department!

"Those who fail the test must continue to train! No physical training allowed! Double the reading time every day!"

"Ah!! Devil!" "Devil!" "Oh my God, I don't want to study!" everyone wailed.

Xio also felt his brain was shaking. Maybe he should not sleep at night from now on? He should sleep during the reading time...
