Chapter 97 The Radicals Think You're Too Radical (5k)

Xiao Qingque was nervously waiting for Shen Cheng's decision.

She had finally offered to help, and if she was rejected, it would be a huge blow to her fragile little heart.

She wasn't afraid of being dismembered while staying at home alone.

Well, that was a reason, but the main reason was that I was stimulated tonight.

Although she usually believes in lying down and doing nothing to gain something for nothing, she is not the kind of person who would allow others to bully her without fighting back.

Shen Cheng's consideration did not last long, and he quickly made a decision: "Go in and put your luggage away first."

It's dangerous to let her stay at home, so it's better to keep her by my side all the time.

And with his current strength, if he can't protect a hard-to-kill vampire, then there's no point in his life.

"Okay, come right away."

Xiao Qingque was cheering in his heart, even a little proud. He usually looked down on me, but in the end he couldn't refuse my help!
She picked up her luggage and ran into the apartment.

After opening the combination lock and entering the apartment, the lights inside actually lit up automatically.

This apartment is much better than the luxury suite I rented before, both in terms of size and decoration.

Xiao Qingque was not in the mood to look closely. He put down his luggage and was about to turn around and leave, but his attention was attracted by a cat.

This is a very cute little black cat, squatting on the sofa licking its paws.

Xiao Qingque didn't think anything was wrong and thought it was the cat raised by the mysterious Tianxuanxing.

"Mimi."

She subconsciously wanted to move over and stroke it, but the black cat easily avoided her hand, jumped from the sofa to the floor, and continued to lick its paws.

For some reason, Xiao Qingque always felt that this black cat looked very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

She didn't dare let Shen Cheng wait outside for too long, so she had to regretfully give up the idea of ​​petting the cat and turned to walk out.

……

Hanyunzhou, airport.

Ruan Qingsha dragged the luggage and walked out of the passage with Bai Qiu Ning.

She still had her cell phone in her hand, answering an incoming call.

From the content of the conversation, it can be judged that this call was from Shen Cheng.

After Ruan Qingsha hung up, Bai Qiuning asked, "What happened?"

"Nothing, it's just that those people in Tailing City are too impatient."

Ruan Qingsha sneered: "We just boarded the plane, and they couldn't wait to attack Shen Cheng. Oh, I think they attacked the woman named Xiao Qingque beside him."

Bai Qiuning was silent for a moment, then asked, "Then do you want to go back?"

Ruan Qingsha shook her head: "No need, he can handle it himself, but..."

She paused. “I hope he doesn’t make too much trouble.”

Bai Qiuning complained expressionlessly: "Are you also afraid that things will get out of hand?"

When was there any trouble that wasn’t caused by you making things worse?

She was demoted from Hanyun Prefecture to Tailing City two years ago because she caused big trouble in the provincial government and ran away in disgrace.

Ruan Qingsha showed a proud smile: "Can others be the same as me?"

"I'm not praising you."

Just as the two were about to walk out of the passage, Ruan Qingsha suddenly grabbed Bai Qiuning's body and pulled him back, then retreated.

Bai Qiuning frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

Ruan Qingsha looked helpless: "Some people are really well-informed. They even knew that I would be back today."

Bai Qiu Ning stuck his head out and looked outside. The reception hall was crowded with people. Among them stood a handsome man. Both his appearance and temperament were outstanding, and he stood out from the crowd at a glance.

Bai Qiuning knew this person. He was one of Ruan Qingsha's suitors in the provincial capital.

"Among all your suitors, his conditions are the best. Why don't you accept him?"

"Do you like it? I'll give it to you."

“I’m misogynistic.”

"Me too."

Ruan Qingsha dragged Bai Qiuning to another place.

……

Tailing City.

Shen Cheng hung up the call with Ruan Qingsha.

The reason why he told Ruan Qingsha about this matter was not simply to ask for help or to complain, but to remind Ruan Qingsha that his next move might be more radical.

He was considered as Nguyen Thanh Sa's man within the government, so it was necessary to inform her in advance.

The sports car was speeding through the city. Xiao Qingque, who was sitting in the passenger seat, asked, "Where are we going?"

There was a hint of excitement in her tone. Apart from the time when she went to the hospital with Shen Cheng to deal with Zhang Zhiwen, this was the first time she took the initiative to follow Shen Cheng into action.

Isn’t this a plot that often appears in movies and novels?
The male and female thieves shuttle through the darkness, punishing evil and promoting good, eliminating violence and protecting the innocent, turning the entire city upside down and engaging in the final showdown with the enemies hiding in the darkness.

Shen Cheng did not hide it from her: "Our enemy is the Scarlet Banquet, but we have to go to another place first to find some weapons that can deal with vampires."

Now in the entire Tailing City, because of the demon serum, there are too many people who are hostile to Ruan Qingsha and Shen Cheng.

There were too many people in this group and no specific target, which resulted in Shen Cheng not knowing who to look for first.

Unless they jump out voluntarily, or Shen Cheng kills the entire city government, but this is unrealistic because he does not want to become a wanted criminal by the entire federal government.

When Shen Cheng was suffering from decision-making difficulties, the Red Dinner Party took the initiative to jump out and solve the problem for him.

Wang Mu, the vice president of the Red Banquet, is a very suitable target.

Killing him will not cause panic among the government, but will also deter those who are hostile to them.

Moreover, Wang Mu has a grudge against him and sent people to attack Xiao Qingque tonight.

It was impossible for Shen Cheng to let him go, both morally and logically.

However, just getting rid of Wang Mu may not be enough.

When Shen Cheng called Ruan Qingsha just now, he told her that he was going to make a big move, so big that the entire Tailing Municipal Government would have to hold back even if they were hostile to him.

It was so big that even Ruan Qingsha, a radical, thought Shen Cheng was too radical.

In Yu Yuanqi's memory, Shen Cheng saw many secrets, including the special relationship between the government and the Red Dinner.

Why were the government and the Red Dinner Party able to sign a peace agreement not to attack each other?
In addition to the vampires' own powerful strength and unity against the outside world, the most important thing is the exchange of interests.

In the eyes of ordinary people, vampires represent evil, terrible, blood-sucking demons.

In the eyes of countless powerful people, vampires represent extremely long lifespans, strong bodies that are free from disease and disaster, and the ability to heal themselves without fear of injury. These are advantages that are simply tailor-made for these rulers.

For the powerful, the defect of sucking human blood is not even a disadvantage, but rather an interesting attempt.

The only obstacle for the nobles to become vampires is the curse of their blood and their inability to refuse the orders of their superior vampires.

So a long time ago, under the promotion of the powerful, the government secretly reached a peace agreement with the vampires.

The government ensures the vampires' right to live peacefully in society and will not actively attack them.

The vampires promised not to expand their group and regularly held banquets called the Scarlet Dinner.

At this dinner, the vampires will offer the dignitaries an extract from the original vampire blood.

This extract will transform humans into a half-human, half-vampire state, which can significantly increase lifespan and enhance the body's immunity and self-healing abilities.

The downside is that these effects are not as strong as those of real vampires, require long-term use of the extract to maintain, and have the same urge to suck blood.

The biggest advantage is that there is no blood curse and you will not be controlled by vampires.

This is the origin of the name of the organization Scarlet Banquet. This situation is not only in Tailing City, but also exists in many places in the Federation. This is also the reason why vampires can live in peace and will not be wiped out on a large scale.

Compared to vampires, demons with weird appearances and lack of unity have a more miserable life and can only hide like rats in the sewers.

The bright red dinner is a good opportunity for Shen Cheng.

Not only Wang Mu will appear at this dinner, but also the local dignitaries of Tailing City.

It is also this group of people who are hostile to Ruan Qingsha and Shen Cheng.

On the one hand, as locals, they were extremely dissatisfied with the bullying behavior of Ruan Qingsha, an outsider.

On the other hand, they have to take extracts provided by vampires for a long time, and they no longer want to be controlled by vampires, so they turn their attention to demon serum.

In fact, many important figures saw Li Kedi's behavior of making the serum, but they never stopped him because they wanted to reap the benefits later.

Now the peach is not ripe yet, but Ruan Qingsha picked it and crushed it. It would be strange if these people who are counting on the demon serum don't hate it.

After reading Yu Yuanqi's memories, Shen Cheng finally gained a true understanding of the ecology of the entire Tailing City, and realized how much evil was hidden beneath the surface of the simple folk customs.

Vampires need to consume human blood regularly, and their existence will seriously affect the survival of ordinary people, but the powerful will not sit with the common people.

Hundreds or thousands of lives are not as important as their chance to attend a dinner party.

If we kill all of this group of people, there may be some innocent people, but if we kill every one of them, there will definitely be some that slip through the net.

"Weapons to fight vampires?"

Xiao Qingque was very curious: "What weapon?"

Shen Cheng reminded her: "When you were targeted by the demon hunter for the first time, didn't he use a gun to beat your ass to pieces?"

Although the local nobles and vampires are in a cooperative relationship, they are not without vigilance against vampires. The Federation has fought against vampires for many years and has long developed targeted weapons.

In the previous battle with Li Kedi, Li Kedi said that from the perspective of demons, vampires are actually prey.

This statement is not an exaggeration, because the gastric juice of demons can digest vampires and greatly restrain their self-healing ability. Once swallowed by demons, it is difficult to survive.

The weapons developed by the Federation against vampires are made from the demons' gastric juice.

When Xiao Qingque met Yang Sheng for the first time, she was chased by him. The bullets used by Yang Sheng could melt Xiao Qingque's body, making her wounds unable to heal.

And that is just the lowest-level weapon. The highest-level weapon can even kill a vampire with one blow.

What Shen Cheng has to do now is to take Xiao Qingque to collect this kind of weapon. He is also a vampire and knows how difficult it is to kill vampires. Relying only on ghost energy and fire is too slow.

"If you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten it."

Xiao Qingque finally recalled the pain of having his buttocks blasted: "Where can I find such a weapon?"

"Don't ask, just follow me."

……

After the police station building was destroyed, the demon hunters had to temporarily move to other places to work.

But there are some things that cannot be transferred immediately, such as the demon hunter's special equipment and various weapons.

These equipment and weapons were stored in a warehouse built under the building. Although the building had collapsed, the warehouse below was not affected.

The transfer can only be carried out after the ruins are cleared. Now we can only arrange people to watch over the site to prevent anything from being lost.

It is now almost three o'clock in the morning, and there is no one near the ruins of the Public Security Bureau building.

When Shen Cheng drove here, he could see a cordon around the ruins, and several work sheds could be vaguely seen in the ruins.

"You wait here... Never mind, come with me."

Shen Cheng originally wanted Xiao Qingque to wait in the car and ask him to keep an eye on the car to prevent it from being stolen again.

But if you think about it carefully, there is no point in bringing her out if you don't let her experience it for herself.

Xiao Qingque got out of the car excitedly and followed Shen Cheng into the ruins.

As soon as she crossed the cordon, she immediately bent down, used the rubble to cover her body, and dodged left and right, like a sneaky thief preparing to steal steel bars on the construction site.

When she found that Shen Cheng did not catch up with her, she turned around and saw Shen Cheng looking at her as if she was an idiot.

"what are you doing?"

"Lying in hiding, aren't you afraid of being discovered by the people inside?"

According to her understanding, at this time they should approach quietly, without shooting, and then launch a sneak attack when the enemy is unprepared.

What Xiao Qingque said made a lot of sense, and Shen Cheng didn't know how to refute it for a moment.

He suddenly realized that this was a good opportunity to train Xiao Qingque.

"You're right. I'll leave the people inside to you."

"I?"

Xiao Qingque pointed at himself and said, "Are you kidding me? What if they run away?"

"With me here, there's no need to worry about anyone escaping."

Shen Cheng folded his hands: "If you don't dare, go back and wait."

"It's not that I don't dare, I'm just afraid that if I'm too ruthless, the King of Hell will write me down in his little notebook."

Xiao Qingque uttered a harsh word, then turned around, stuck his butt out, and continued to lurk inside with excitement and nervousness.

Shen Cheng followed right behind her, ready to help wipe her butt at any time.

This is literally the episode with the most butt content.

The shed built in the middle of the ruins was originally intended for the workers who were clearing the ruins to live in. However, because a large amount of valuable equipment was stored in the underground warehouse, no outsiders were allowed to stay here at night. They had to go home and sleep and come back to work during the day.

In the shed, three demon hunters were playing cards absentmindedly.

The reason why they were absent-minded was that the topic they were talking about was too explosive.

The topic of course cannot be separated from the brutal infighting that reduced the Public Security Bureau building to ruins a few days ago and resulted in the deaths of three senior demon hunters and dozens of elite demon hunters.

As demon hunters, they know more inside information and secrets than ordinary citizens.

"Are Li Kedi and Yu Yuanqi really a couple?"

"Or would they be close enough to wear the same pants? Someone has seen them sneaking into a hotel together before."

"I heard that this internal fight was because of the magic potion?"

"It's not that simple. In fact, it was the election of the captain that triggered the conflict between the two factions."

Shen Cheng, standing outside the house, felt like he needed to wash his ears.

I originally thought that I could hear some secret news, but I didn't expect that these three demon hunters were just like ordinary citizens, spreading rumors with their mouths.

Li Kedi and Yu Yuanqi could have died right under your feet. Aren’t you afraid that their souls will rise up and slap you hard in the face?

That’s not right. Their souls are always following behind them.

Xiao Qingque blinked his big eyes in doubt and turned to look at Shen Cheng, as if asking him whether the hot topic discussed by the three demon hunters inside was true or false?
Shen Cheng raised his hand and tapped her head gently, telling her not to care about the gossip.

"Wait a moment!"

Inside the house, a demon hunter suddenly frowned and asked, "Did you hear any noise outside?"

The other two demon hunters looked at each other and immediately became alert.

boom!
Before they could react, a loud, ear-piercing noise suddenly rang out from all directions.

Huge beasts rushed in from the gate, windows, and even outside the wall at the same time, and the thin iron walls of the shed could not stop them at all.

In addition to the ferocious beasts, a large group of poisonous bees as dense as a dark cloud flew into the iron house closely behind.

The demon hunter who was the first to become alert kicked over the table in front of him and clasped his hands together.

A faint shield of light directly protected him and his other two companions.

"Roar!"

Seven or eight ferocious beasts crashed into the light shield, but only caused a few faint ripples.

These beasts included tigers, lions, and brown bears. Their bodies were even larger than those of real beasts. They began to bite the light shield fiercely.

At the same time, the densely packed poisonous bees that were lurking in the house all flew down and began to launch a suicidal attack on the entire light shield.

After being injected with demon blood again, Xiao Qingque's physique and abilities were significantly enhanced.

Ordinary vampires don't have such good treatment as her. Even those vampires who join the Scarlet Party, after years of hard work, only receive a small injection of demon blood at most.

It's not like Xiao Qingque, who shoved whole kilograms of stuff into his body.

Even if she meets those three vampires again now, she may be able to fight them. What she lacks is nothing more than combat experience.

Inside the Guardian Shield, the other two demon hunters finally reacted.

One of them raised his hands, and invisible mental power broke through the air like a sharp blade, blowing up the heads of the beasts that were biting the light shield around him one by one.

But these ferocious beasts are not real creatures. They are just created by Xiao Qingque with his blood. Even if they are shot in the head, they can be resurrected and join the battle again.

The last demon hunter could only watch, because he was a life-type ability user and could not launch an attack through the protective shield.

This is a very typical team, with the Guardian as a meat shield, the Psychic type as a long-range attacker, and the Life type as a close combat attacker.

Outside the house, Xiao Qingque continued to control the summoned creatures inside the house to besiege the guardian shield.

Seeing that the attacks of these summons had no effect on the Guardian Shield, she became a little anxious and subconsciously turned her head to look at Shen Cheng: "I can't beat them, what should I do?"

"Figure it out yourself."

Since he wanted to train her, Shen Cheng certainly wouldn't give her too obvious hints: "When facing this kind of turtle-like enemy, sometimes you don't have to attack head-on. You can change your thinking, such as letting him come out on his own initiative."
