Chapter 152: What use can you make of me? (5k)

Shen Cheng read the lizard demon's memory from beginning to end again and found that he was just asking Black Agate some questions when he happened to talk about the source blood curse.

Black Agate himself has also studied the Source Blood Curse and found a method that may be able to break the curse.

The Lizard Demon did not ask what the specific method was, and Black Agate did not say either.

Damn it, just ask!

Shen Cheng was extremely annoyed now, as if he had just finished the foreplay but was not allowed to enter.

Ruan Qingsha will take photos and record videos of the ground cannon in front of her, and then send them to different people.

She turned around and saw Shen Cheng squatting beside the corpse of the lizard demon, his hand still on the corpse, his face slightly darkened.

It’s already this late, and you’re still touching me.

You don't want to touch a healthy living person, but prefer to touch this cold thing, right?

Shen Cheng had already stood up and walked over, telling Ruan Qingsha everything he had seen in his memory. Of course, the demon told him all this voluntarily, and there was absolutely no coercion.

Although Ruan Qingsha was mentally prepared, she was still shocked by the blasphemer's plan, which was to dissolve all humans in the entire state.

If such a disaster really happened, the entire federation would probably be shaken, and the peace with the Dragon Territory might be broken again.

Why would the Supervisory Department collude with the devil to create such a horrific plan?
Ruan Qingsha put away her phone: "I have sent the message back. The headquarters asked me to go back for the gathering. You..."

This matter has nothing to do with Shen Cheng. He has done enough and does not need to get involved any further.

"I'll go with you. This matter concerns the life and death of the people in the entire city. As a Star Ranger, how can I sit back and do nothing?"

Shen Cheng said in a serious tone, "Especially the demon scholar who invented the water of return to the source. This culprit must not be allowed to escape."

He even shouted a slogan: "Fight into the sewer and capture Black Agate alive!"

Ruan Qingsha also remembered that as a star sea ranger, Shen Cheng could not stay out of the face of such a disaster.

"Why do I feel like you're a little too excited?"

"Because when I think about the threat to the lives and property of the entire city's residents, my blood boils."

Shen Cheng even shouted a slogan: "Go into the sewer and capture Black Agate alive!"

After the two men destroyed the installed ground cannon in front of them, they left immediately.

On the way to the Public Security Bureau, Shen Cheng secretly sent a message to Wei Yiting, telling her about this.

The cell phone number was given to him secretly by Wei Yiting at the dance so that they could keep in touch privately.

And now in this major incident that concerns the safety of the entire city's people, how can we miss Wei Yiting, the real Star Sea Ranger?

Get up quickly and get to work.

……

In an office in a government building.

Zhao Nanxing put down her phone, which contained photos and videos sent to her by Ruan Qingsha, confirming that the blasphemer was preparing to carry out a premeditated terrorist attack in the state capital.

She stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the bustling night scene in the distance.

His face was as gloomy as water, and a trace of sadness arose in his heart.

What worries her is not the current terrorist attack that has been discovered by Ruan Qingsha and her boyfriend.

What worries Zhao Nanxing is that the increasingly fierce struggle within the human government has resorted to every possible means, including the use of the power of demons and vampires.

Of course, this situation is not unexpected, it is even very common. The Eternal Empire of Vampires is now on the brink of civil war, and humans have been secretly fanning the flames.

The Dragon Realm of the Demon Empire even experienced a struggle for the throne between the former emperor and the current empress. In the end, the Dragon Realm was forced to end the war with humans. The internal vitality of the Dragon Realm was severely damaged and has not recovered yet.

Among the three major forces, the human side seems to be much more peaceful and stable. However, due to the lack of threats from external enemies, internal conflicts have begun to become fierce.

Zhao Nanxing knew very well that the powerful Supervisory Department was just a knife, the knife of the superior sitting at the top of the power pyramid, used to chop all opponents.

Zhao Nanxing is not the first victim, and will definitely not be the last.

In this society, powerful people dare not overturn the table and are always forced to abide by the so-called rules.

She sighed imperceptibly, and suddenly thought of Ruan Qingsha, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"You little bitch, you actually found a Star Ranger as your boyfriend. Are you trying to piss me off on purpose?"

……

When Shen Cheng and Ruan Qingsha returned to the Public Security Bureau, the place was already bustling with people.

A large number of demon hunters were summoned by their superiors from their sleep or missions.

Inside the General Administration, in an extremely spacious conference room, it was already filled with people.

Director He was standing in front of the projection screen and giving an introduction. On the projection screen were photos and videos sent by Ruan Qingsha, as well as a floor plan of the underground drainage system and air-raid shelter.

Although he was the person presiding over the meeting, Director He no longer had his usual composure and was instead sweating profusely.

Because the people sitting below are not just his subordinates, but also his immediate superior.

The director, deputy director, security adviser, special demon hunter, and nine senior demon hunters who were hurriedly called over from the Public Security Bureau.

The reason why these important forces of the Public Security Bureau gathered here was because of the message sent back by Ruan Qingsha.

After receiving the news from Ruan Qingsha, Director He was still a little skeptical. Because the matter was too serious, he couldn't even believe it and wanted to send someone to confirm it.

Before he sent anyone out, he received calls from the director and deputy director on his phone one after another. After being scolded on the phone, the current meeting took place.

Director He later found out that it was Ruan Qingsha who did not abide by the moral code of conduct. She not only sent the message back to the Public Security Bureau, but also sent a copy to her teacher Zhao Nanxing.

After Zhao Nanxing received the message, he immediately called the director of the Public Security Bureau out of bed.

Director He is now sweating profusely because he knows no more than others. Now he is standing on the stage to preside over the meeting, but he cannot explain the whole story.

I can only talk about the underground drainage system and air-raid shelter map, because after the sewer collapsed, Director He specially sent people to search for other ways to enter the underground. This is called anticipating the enemy.

But as he was speaking, Director He could no longer continue, because the people he sent found that the roads leading to the underground were blocked, and he thought clearing it was too troublesome, so he put the matter aside.

The director asked, "The way down is blocked, so you're just not going to care?"

Director He was speechless.

Anticipating the enemy's past may lead to exposing one's own past.

Seeing the director's increasingly dark face, Director He was sweating profusely. Now he just hoped that Ruan Qingsha would come back soon.

boom.

The tightly closed door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open, Ruan Qingsha and Shen Cheng strode in, and everyone looked over.

Being watched by so many people, Ruan Qingsha remained calm and said, "Sorry, I'm late."

"Ruan Qingsha is back."

The director's face, which was originally a little gloomy, immediately became pleasant: "Sit down quickly, we are all waiting for you."

Ruan Qingsha nodded and took Shen Cheng into the meeting room.

Shen Cheng followed her silently and quickly observed the conference room. Besides Director He, the only two people he knew was Yue Hong.

Seeing Shen Cheng looking at him, Yue Hong smiled at him, completely different from the look on his face that he had shown not long ago at the dance party as he wanted to strangle Shen Cheng to death.

Shen Cheng also remembered the rumors Yue Hong had spread about him. Now was not the time to cause trouble for him, so he could only write this matter down in his little notebook for now.

Shen Cheng didn't know any of the other people, but there was a very special person who completely attracted his attention.

This is a man of about 0 years old with ordinary looks, the type who gets % of the attention when he turns around on the street.

But he exuded a special aura from the inside out. Just by sitting there, he automatically became the core of the crowd and could not be ignored at all.

Although Shen Cheng had never seen this man before, he recognized his identity.

There are three special demon hunters in the General Security Bureau. One is on a business trip, one is stationed in the government and will not act rashly. Only one is free and available, and he should be the one in front of you.

Unlike his ordinary appearance, he has a nice name, Lu Jinglong.

As a master-level warrior, Lu Jinglong was the only one who posed a threat to Shen Cheng in this conference room. Shen Cheng had to lower his presence and make himself invisible. To be honest, he didn't know that this special demon hunter would appear here, otherwise he wouldn't have followed and would have waited outside.

Fortunately, Lu Jinglong, the top demon hunter, did not pay attention to Shen Cheng. He sat in a chair with his arms folded, seemingly resting with his eyes closed.

"Old He, come down. What you said doesn't make sense. Let Ruan Qingsha go up and talk."

Upon hearing the director's order, Director He wished he could get off quickly and give his seat to Ruan Qingsha.

Ruan Qingsha Ruan Qingsha did not refuse. She walked to the podium, faced everyone's gazes, and told them all about her discoveries of the night.

It was all Shen Cheng's credit that the blasphemer's terrorist attack plan was discovered tonight, but his identity could not withstand scrutiny, and he himself was unwilling to step forward and be scrutinized under a magnifying glass.

After Ruan Qingsha finished speaking, the conference room fell into a heated discussion.

Since the demon scholar named Black Agate and the demons are hiding underground, what we should do now is to concentrate manpower and material resources to encircle and suppress them, and at the same time find the other four ground cannons installed by the demons in the city.

But the problem is that the sewer had collapsed before, and almost all the roads leading to the underground were blocked. It was definitely not an easy task to clear the collapsed passage.

Director He lowered his head and remained silent, his eyes on his nose and his nose on his heart, not daring to speak.

The sewer collapse was mainly caused by the fact that he sent people in to search in advance.

To put it nicely, it means having a sense of crisis; to put it bluntly, it means alerting the enemy. It depends on how the higher-ups interpret it.

So he, like Shen Cheng, curled himself up into a ball and tried to reduce his presence as much as possible.

Yue Hong listened to the discussion but did not join in the conversation.

He was now somewhat glad that the rat demon was killed, which incidentally caused the collapse of the sewer, leaving the demon hunters of the Public Security Bureau helpless. There was no way they could find the location of Black Onyx and the demons in the short term.

"Everyone."

Ruan Qingsha observed everyone's expressions and suddenly said, "I know there is a path that leads to where the demons are hiding."

"Really?"

Everyone looked at her in surprise, and the director was even more pleasantly surprised and said, "Qingsha, you have made a great contribution this time."

Ruan Qingsha was not happy at all, but subconsciously looked at Shen Cheng.

This path was also discovered by Shen Cheng, and he was the one who suggested Ruan Qingsha not to report it, so as to avoid it being destroyed in advance by traitors. It was not until now that it finally played an important role.

Unfortunately, with Shen Cheng's identity, whether he is a vampire or a Star Ranger, it is impossible for him to truly join the Public Security Bureau. Otherwise, with these merits, his status in the Demon Hunter system would be able to soar like a rocket.

Ruan Qingsha felt deeply sorry for Shen Cheng, and all the credit went to her, which made her feel like a thief and she felt extremely uncomfortable.

Moreover, Ruan Qingsha deceived Shen Cheng once again tonight, forcing him to pretend to be her boyfriend, and she felt an extra layer of guilt in her heart.

I wanted to do something to repay him, but I found that Shen Cheng didn't seem to have any use for me.

Shen Cheng noticed Ruan Qingsha's guilty look and immediately guessed what she was thinking. He quickly shook his head at her, asking her not to give him away.

The credit from the General Security Bureau was meaningless to him. He now hoped to rely on the power of the Demon Hunter to catch Black Agate and learn from him how to lift the curse of the source blood.

After Ruan Qingsha's gaze moved away, Shen Cheng looked at Yue Hong.

Yue Hong's original calmness and composure had disappeared, and the expression on his face was visibly stiff.

He never thought that Ruan Qingsha could actually find the path leading underground. What are those monsters doing down there?
Such an important thing was discovered! ?
Just then, the director's secretary entered the conference room, came to the director's side, lowered his head and whispered a few words in his ear.

"Bastard!"

The director slammed his hand on the table, startling everyone.

His face turned very ugly: "Reply to them and tell them that this is the responsibility of our Public Security Bureau and there is no need for the Supervision Department to intervene. As for the two people who were arrested, it is not just us who have to give them an explanation, but they have to give us an explanation!"

Everyone then realized that it was the Supervisory Department that called to question them because Liang Jie and Sun Yue were both arrested by Ruan Qingsha and Shen Cheng.

The director already knew that the Supervision Department played an ignominious role in this incident, so he chose to fight back strongly.

Lu Jinglong, who was sitting nearby, was awakened by the director's yelling.

He opened his eyes, stretched, yawned, and asked in a daze, "Are you off work?"

Shen Cheng was suddenly embarrassed. He originally thought that Lu Jinglong was just resting with his eyes closed, which made him nervous and he kept paying attention to Lu Jinglong.

Turns out this guy was just sleeping in.

In the meeting room, the others were already accustomed to Lu Jinglong's laziness.

However, as a top-class demon hunter, he is qualified to treat the Public Security Bureau as his home and the conference room as his bedroom.

"Old Lu, you..."

The director was about to ask Lu Jinglong to pay attention to his image when he was suddenly interrupted by a loud noise.

Rumble!
The loud noise came from outside, like the rumble of thunder in the sky before a storm.

"I looked at the weather forecast. Isn't it raining recently?"

I don't know who said something, but the others stood up and went to the window to look out.

In the pitch-black night, nothing could be seen except the neon lights in the distance, but the thunder-like sound continued.

Only Shen Cheng, who had seen the demon's memory, knew that this was the sound of a ground cannon firing.

He didn't bother to pretend to be invisible, and said in a deep voice: "The demon's attack has been launched ahead of schedule."

Everyone turned their heads to look at him. Except for Yue Hong, no one knew who this young man was who was following Ruan Qingsha.

As soon as Shen Cheng finished speaking, there was a rustling sound outside.

The sound of cannons rumbled and rain fell from the sky.

Everyone's expression changed at this moment.

Shen Cheng was not wrong. The demons took the initiative to attack, launching the water returning to its source into the air, which turned into rain and fell down.

The problem was that they had just discovered the demon's plan when the demon immediately took action.

There are bad people among the masses!

Now is not the time to consider why the information was leaked. The director's face is more solemn than ever.

"Everyone, set out immediately according to the plan. Tonight's incident concerns the lives and safety of all the people in the city. I will shoot anyone who dares to delay."

Everyone was divided into two teams. One team went to destroy the remaining four ground cannons that were firing the Return to Source Water, and the other team, led by Lu Jinglong, went underground to encircle and suppress the demons.

Of course, the government must be notified immediately to prepare emergency measures, and an alarm must be sounded to notify all citizens not to go out and avoid getting wet in the rain.

The atmosphere became extremely solemn and everyone began to take action.

Yue Hong was also preparing to follow the main force, but he saw Director He coming to him.

"Yue Hong, you stay in the bureau headquarters and guard it. The two behind me will stay to assist you."

Although Director He looked friendly, Yue Hong's heart sank suddenly.

He realized that he was most likely exposed.

Looking at the two demon hunters staring at him from behind, Yue Hong neither explained nor resisted. Instead, he nodded expressionlessly: "Okay."

Director He felt complicated as he watched Yue Hong and the two demon hunters leave.

When Ruan Qingsha said that Yue Hong might be colluding with demons, he didn't believe it at all.

Because Yue Hong came from a prominent family, had a bright future, and a clean background, the probability of such a person colluding with demons was too small, not to mention that Ruan Qingsha only said so verbally and had no evidence at all.

However, Ruan Qingsha also told the director about this matter, and the director immediately ordered that Yue Hong be kept under custody first. At this critical moment, one cannot be indecisive and can investigate it thoroughly afterwards.

Director He was slightly distracted, and Lu Jinglong came over and patted him on the shoulder: "That's why he can be the director and act decisively, unlike you who is hesitant and afraid of this and that."

Director He was not convinced by this evaluation. If he were in the position of director, he might be more decisive than the director.

Shen Cheng was also prepared to act as a small unknown person, follow the main force and look for an opportunity to capture Black Agate alive.

Ruan Qingsha quietly came up to him and asked in a low voice: "How can you use me?"

Shen Cheng thought for a moment and replied, "On the bed."
