Chapter 153 A Promise (5k)

Ruan Qingsha reviewed the history of her and Shen Cheng from the time they met until now, and found that it was Shen Cheng who had always been giving, while she had not received anything in return.

Although friends don't have to be too particular, Ruan Qingsha also kept all of this in mind. If Shen Cheng has anything in the future, she will definitely help him.

But tonight was a little special. She first deceived Shen Cheng with the dance party, and then Shen Cheng continued to help her regardless of the past, but she still took away the credit that should have belonged to Shen Cheng.

Although Shen Cheng himself didn't care at all, Ruan Qingsha still felt strongly guilty and her mentality was somewhat unbalanced.

Only then would he come over and ask Shen Cheng if there was anything he could do for him.

As a result, Shen Cheng's answer made her face darken, and she punched him on the arm: "I'm talking to you seriously, I'm not joking."

"I'm not kidding you either."

Shen Cheng spread his hands and said, "Tell me what you can do for me besides meeting my personal needs. Xiao Qingque is more capable than you."

Apart from being a good fighter and having an official status, Ruan Qingsha has not been as helpful to Shen Cheng as Xiao Qingque.

The reason why Shen Cheng kept following her was mainly because he relied on her to touch the corpses and to take advantage of the resentment in the morgue.

For example, Li Kedi and Yu Yuanqi, and now the Blasphemer and Black Agate, Shen Cheng was able to come into contact with them because of Ruan Qingsha. Otherwise, he would be a pure outsider and would not even be qualified to have any contact with them.

When Ruan Qingsha heard Shen Cheng say that he wanted to satisfy his personal needs, she immediately thought of the pornographic text she found in his room.

The wonderful sex scenes in the film were all what he fantasized about day and night, and now he even talked about them openly.

But she wasn't angry, she just frowned and said, "Friends should give and take, not just give blindly, otherwise this relationship is doomed to not last long."

Shen Cheng didn't expect her to be so persistent. If it were a more realistic woman, she would have probably enjoyed it with peace of mind and would not have thought about anything in return.

"Hey, you two!"

Director He urged from a distance: "Let's go."

Shen Cheng couldn't think of any use for Ruan Qingsha at the moment, so he said casually: "When this matter is over, you can come to my house and be my exclusive maid for a month. That will be your reward to me."

"A word is settled!"

Ruan Qingsha didn't refuse, but held Shen Cheng's hand forcefully: "Don't cheat!"

Shen Cheng held her hand and asked, "Do you have Zhao Zonghan's contact information?"

"What do you want his contact information for?"

"Maybe it will be useful."

……

As the economic and political center of Hanyun Prefecture, the provincial capital's nightlife is also well-known far and wide.

Even after midnight, the streets are still bustling with people. Many commercial streets, snack streets and shopping malls are doing booming business, with a constant stream of pedestrians and tourists.

Couples, students, singles, families of three, all kinds of people are immersed in this prosperity and peace.

Rumble!
Bursts of muffled thunder suddenly sounded in the dark night sky, causing many people to subconsciously look up at the sky.

"Is it raining?"

"It's over. I didn't bring an umbrella."

No one cares what the thunder means. At most, they just curse the weather forecaster for his poor business performance.

There were bursts of thunder and not very dense rain began to fall from the sky.

People who were still on the street were looking for places to shelter from the rain, while others were walking slowly, preparing to take a walk in the rain.

The couple did not rush to hide, and the man even raised his hand to catch the raindrops falling from the sky.

"The spring rain is as fine as silk, dyeing the south bank of the river green..."

"My dear, you are so talented."

The man enjoyed his girlfriend's admiring gaze very much, and the raindrops fell right on the palm of his hand.

But the man did not feel the coldness of the raindrops, but instead felt a pain in the palm of his hand.

"hiss!"

The man gasped, swung his arms a few times, looked down, and saw a hole in the palm of his hand.

Moreover, the hole was expanding rapidly, and in a blink of an eye it melted through the entire palm.

"Ah ah ah."

The piercing pain made the man scream in fear. At the same time, more raindrops fell on his body, constantly melting through his flesh and blood.

In the blink of an eye, the man was riddled with holes.

The woman next to him let out an ear-piercing scream, not only because of her boyfriend's miserable condition, but also because her own body was being dissolved by the raindrops.

Looking up, I saw that the street was full of people who had not had time to hide from the rain and were being melted or melting by the rain. The screams and cries were mixed together.

And this scene is constantly being played out in various places in the state capital.

At the same time, air raid sirens began to sound in the city.

All citizens received several text messages from the government in succession, asking them to find a place to shelter from the rain immediately and to avoid contact with rainwater and tap water, and not to come into contact with any liquids for the time being.

As the thunderous sound of artillery fire became more frequent, the rain falling from the sky became heavier.

Shen Cheng was wearing a waterproof suit and standing at the entrance of a sewer.

He raised his hand to catch the rain falling from the sky. This rain was not entirely water from the source, but water from the source mixed with ordinary sewage.

In front of him, hundreds of demon hunters, also wearing waterproof suits, were lined up in a long queue and quickly entered the sewer.

Because the situation was urgent, except for some demon hunters who were on missions in other places, all other demon hunters were transferred here. The entire Public Security Bureau could be said to be mobilized in full force.

Shen Cheng mixed in with them and followed the large group into the sewer.

He had only one goal, which was to capture Black Agate alive and obtain his research results.

……

General Security Bureau.

Yue Hong sat in an ordinary lounge, closing his eyes and resting.

His cell phone and various belongings had been taken away, making it impossible for him to contact the outside world.

The two demon hunters who nominally came to assist him were guarding the gate outside.

This is actually a form of house arrest.

This lounge is very ordinary, with no reinforced doors and windows. Not to mention the extraordinary Yue Hong, even a random demon hunter would not be able to be trapped in this lounge.

The two demon hunters outside are merely elite-level forces. If Yue Hong wants to kill them, he only needs to move his fingers.

But Yue Hong couldn't do that. Once he killed someone or escaped, it would be completely confirmed that he was colluding with the demon.

Therefore, this kind of custody is an open conspiracy, and the bet is that Yue Hong dare not betray openly and can only wait here obediently for investigation.

The two demon hunters guarding outside did not dare to be careless. After all, the person in the lounge behind them was a famous senior demon hunter in the bureau. If it were not for Director He's order, they would probably behave extremely politely when they met Yue Hong and would not dare to show the slightest disrespect.

The Public Security Bureau was quiet and almost everyone had left.

Amid the thunder and rain outside, the two demon hunters suddenly noticed a figure appearing in the corridor in the distance. They immediately became alert, and only relaxed after they saw the figure clearly.

The person who came was also a demon hunter from the bureau. His surname was Wang, and everyone called him Lao Wang.

Lao Wang walked over slowly, and the two demon hunters asked him, "Lao Wang, why didn't you come with us on the mission?"

Now the entire Public Security Bureau can be said to be mobilized in full force, even the director and his men are staying at the command center, waiting for news from the front line at any time.

"I want to go, too."

Lao Wang patted his thigh with his hand: "It's a pity that they looked down on me and kicked me out of the team."

The two demon hunters had already noticed that Lao Wang's ankle was wrapped in a bandage, with blood seeping out.

"How did you get hurt?"

"Something unexpected happened tonight."

Lao Wang pulled out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took out two and handed them to the two demon hunters in front of him.

Then he pointed to the lounge and said, "Captain Yue...what's going on?"

Lao Wang is very popular in the Public Security Bureau, and the two demon hunters did not refuse his cigarettes.

However, the two demon hunters did not relax their conversation in response to his question, but instead shook their heads.

"Don't ask about disciplinary issues."

"I see."

Lao Wang quickly said that he understood.

In fact, even if they really had to answer, the two demon hunters could not, because they did not know why Yue Hong was placed under house arrest, they were just following orders.

The three of them smoked and talked about what was happening outside.

After the chat, Lao Wang waved goodbye, and the two demon hunters continued to stand guard outside the door.

A few minutes later, Yue Hong in the lounge heard two thudding sounds coming from outside the door.

After a while, the door to the lounge was pushed open, and several demon hunters appeared outside the door, including Nie Chuan and Lu Jiayu. "Captain."

These are the subordinates that Yue Hong has carefully selected over the years. They are loyal to him and will not hesitate to follow him to betray the General Security Bureau.

Yue Hong opened his eyes, stood up and walked to the door of the lounge.

Nie Chuan looked at the two unconscious demon hunters on the ground and made a gesture to Yue Hong, asking him to silence them.

Yue Hong shook his head.

Although he is now suspected, he believes that no one has solid evidence that he is colluding with the demon. So what even if someone saw him letting the rat demon go?

He could easily argue that he was playing the long game.

As long as things go well tonight, he will still be able to return to the Public Security Bureau.

But killing colleagues would mean cutting off one's own retreat.

"lets go."

After throwing the two unconscious demon hunters into the lounge, Yue Hong left along the corridor, and the others hurriedly followed him.

……

Underground drainage system.

Lu Jinglong took the lead, galloping through the sewers, followed closely by nine senior demon hunters, including Ruan Qingsha.

The remaining hundreds of demon hunters fell far behind.

In this mission of encircling and exterminating demons, the real players were these ten people. The rest of the demon hunters came in to serve as labor to ensure that not too many demons escaped.

Ruan Qingsha had been here once before. With her guidance, the group soon arrived at the source of the returning water that Shen Cheng had discovered earlier.

However, this is no longer a simple reservoir. Countless return waters mixed with sewage are surging up from it and rushing in all directions along the drainage pipes.

These returning waters were obviously supplying the four ground cannons that were firing continuously at this moment.

The water rushing in the pipe was like a river blocking everyone's way.

Waterproof clothing needs to breathe, and there are several breathing holes under the mask, so you cannot dive into the water wearing a waterproof clothing.

They also brought a lot of diving equipment on this trip, but they were all left behind.

Seeing this scene, Lu Jinglong couldn't help feeling a little regretful. If Yue Hong was fine, his ability would be just enough to freeze all the water.

But now is not the time to think about these things. Lu Jinglong raised his hand and said, "Hu Zong, you lead the way."

A senior demon hunter stepped forward and stretched out his hand towards the rushing water in front of him.

He is a psychic with a very common ability called telekinesis, which is also one of the few psychics that can interfere with reality.

The water in the pipe, enough to wash away an adult, was stopped by an invisible mental force and cut off in the middle.

A large amount of water tried to break through the obstruction, but to no avail. It could only roll continuously in place, causing the drainage pipes to crack.

Hu Zong jumped down the pipe, still holding his hands high, and using his mental power as a shield, he pushed all the water in the pipe back, creating a path out of nowhere.

The others also jumped down the pipe and followed closely.

Ruan Qingsha glanced back. Shen Cheng had just told her that he was afraid that Lu Jinglong would discover his identity, so he did not follow them and fell behind.

Hu Zong pushed the sewage backwards, and the others followed behind him, going deeper and deeper underground.

"Kill them all."

At the fork in the drainage pipe, demons kept rushing out and attacking the group.

However, their group is considered the top team of the Public Security Bureau, with one master and nine extraordinary levels. Any demons that dared to jump out were crushed without mercy.

But the number of monsters seemed endless and they could never be killed.

It is hard to understand how the blasphemer could hide so many demons underground.

"Don't worry about them. Don't get entangled here."

Although Lu Jinglong was usually lazy, he took on the responsibility of a commander at the critical moment: "Leave them to the people behind, and we will rush in as quickly as possible."

The longer time drags on, the more people on earth will be dissolved by the returning water.

Following Lu Jinglong's order, the team immediately sped up. Although demons continued to pour out from all directions, the senior demon hunters in the team were all battle-hardened.

They cooperated well and fought off wave after wave of demons, and their speed was not hindered in the first few.

Soon, Shen Cheng, who was moving with the large army, also arrived here and was also attacked by demons.

Shen Cheng was the only one who was not surprised to see so many monsters appear in the sewer.

He had watched the memories of the lizard monsters before and knew that these monsters were the work of the monster scholar Black Agate. He could produce a large number of short-lived cannon fodder in a short period of time and was a genius biologist who could change the situation of a war.

The rat demon that could only give birth to countless little mice was transformed by black agate.

A large number of demons came like a tide, but were repelled by the demon hunters' concerted efforts.

The demons rushed forward recklessly, leaving behind a large number of corpses. Some demon hunters were also overwhelmed by the large number of demons.

The narrow sewer became the bloodiest and most intense battlefield, with all kinds of sounds intertwined into one.

boom!
Someone detonated the bomb, and several sections of drainage pipes collapsed, burying hundreds of demons and a dozen demon hunters.

Shen Cheng did not stay here. Although there was constant resentment here, it was just a small matter and he must not lose the big picture for the small one.

He quietly left the battlefield and followed closely behind Lu Jinglong and his group.

His goal is clear, it is always black onyx.

Lu Jinglong and his group had reached the deepest part of the sewer. When Hu Zong pushed away all the water in front of him, more water rushed up and the view ahead became wider.

"There's an air raid shelter ahead."

A senior demon hunter who was looking at a map gave a reminder.

Generally, air-raid shelters are tens of meters deep. However, during the war between the Federation and Dragon Territory, they encountered a terrifying monster that could burrow into the ground, causing the air-raid shelters to be dug deeper and deeper, eventually reaching hundreds or even thousands of meters underground.

It's more of a shelter than an air-raid shelter.

The reason these air-raid shelters were eventually abandoned was because they were too deep. In peacetime, there was simply no extra financial resources to maintain such useless places.

I didn't expect that they would eventually be used by the demons, but if the insider hadn't provided the information, the demons wouldn't have known that there were so many buildings hidden underground.

The air-raid shelter in front of us has been expanded to form a huge hole, and it is filled with returning water, like a large reservoir deep underground.

Hu Zong used his telekinesis to separate the returning water in front of him, and used his telekinesis to wrap everyone up and let them enter it.

The water returning to its source is extremely clear, and people can see the surrounding environment clearly even when they are deep under the water.

Not far ahead, a giant machine was built in the water.

There are a large number of propellers on the machine, which are rotating continuously, pouring the returning water here into the densely packed drainage pipes around it, providing a steady supply of shells to the ground cannons above.

Seeing the machine in front of him, Hu Zong subconsciously wanted to go over and destroy it.

Suddenly, grenades sank in front of us.

Boom boom boom!
The grenade exploded in the water, and the shock wave caused the water to vibrate.

Hu Zong didn't dare to move forward, not because he was afraid of grenades, but because there was water returning from its source all around him. If he was not careful, he would be wiped out in the water.

He could only float up with everyone, and soon they reached the surface of the water.

As soon as they emerged from the water, they saw dozens of demons guarding the surrounding shores, as if they were waiting for their arrival.

Among them was a demon with horns on its head and cow hooves on its feet. Apart from that, it looked not much different from a human being. He was obviously the leader here.

"Lu Jinglong!!"

The horned demon stood on the shore and shouted to Lu Jinglong and others who emerged from the water below: "I have been waiting here for a long time."

Lu Jinglong was also quite surprised: "So it's you, this awesome kid, hiding in here."

He had personally taken action to capture the blasphemer before, and the bull-horned demon in front of him escaped from his hands.

"This is where you will be buried today."

The ox-horned demon leaped into the air without saying a word and slammed down towards Lu Jinglong and his group like a meteor.

Lu Jinglong jumped up and rushed towards the ox-horned demon.

Both sides punched at the same time, and two fists of different sizes but equally hard collided with each other.

boom!
A huge shock wave appeared in the entire underground cavity, rolling up a layer of waves on the water surface.

Everyone at the scene felt a shock in their hearts, as if they were hit by a sledgehammer, and they had difficulty breathing.

Lu Jinglong punched the bull-horned demon that was wrestling with him and sent it flying. At the same time, he shouted to the senior demon hunters below: "Go destroy that machine!"

As long as this giant machine in front of us is destroyed, the returning water here will not be transported to the upper part.

The senior demon hunters took action immediately, and the demons that had been waiting on the shore for a long time would not just sit there and watch.

A melee immediately broke out in the underground cave.
