Chapter 637: Chapter 173: Great Revenge Achieved, Life and Death are Impermanent (6K Words for Monthly Votes)_4
“You’re joining? This is tough and tiring work, many avoid it like the plague, even applying in advance to explore new territories or subdue ruins to skip being assigned. Why join?” Yu Mingluan was surprised.
Xu Shu thought for a moment, “Would you believe me if I said I hate evil, and want to kill all the bad people in the world?”
Yu Mingluan hesitated for a moment, “I wouldn’t believe anyone else, but if you say it, I believe you.”
Xu Shu grinned and said, “Bishop, you’re making me feel too embarrassed to lie to you. Actually, I’ve made enemies with the Cao Gang, and I can’t sleep until I personally confirm they’re all dead.”
Yu Mingluan was silent for a moment before saying, “I know that’s an excuse. You’re doing this to maintain the safety of the safe zone, right?”
Xu Shu: Huh?
Bishop, actually, what I said after is true!
Without waiting for him to say more, Yu Mingluan took out a handwritten letter from his bosom, muttered a few spells, signed it, and handed it to Xu Shu.
“This is a recommendation letter. Take this to the Judgement Department, they’ll arrange everything for you.”
After Yu Mingluan finished speaking, he looked at Xu Shu for several seconds, his eyes filled with an indescribable sentiment, finally nodding and touching his forehead, “Go, child, may Lie Zhenzi protect you. Of course, the Lord will illuminate the path ahead of you as well.”
Upon hearing this, Xu Shu’s eyes brightened.
This was Bishop’s usual style.
The two parted ways, each with their own tasks to do.
After a couple of steps, Xu Shu hurriedly turned back and said, “Bishop! Your Bible!”
Yu Mingluan was taken aback, then shook his head with a smile, “It’s yours now. This is your Bible. If you encounter a fierce enemy, you can open this book and use it against them. Besides, it’s called the Holy Word Book, but what you called it, ‘Bible,’ sounds pretty good too.”
“For me?”
Xu Shu touched the cover of the Holy Word Book, feeling a strange power, and hesitantly asked, “Is this a Curse Tool?”
“Mhm. Keep it, I won’t be needing it anymore. Oh, and if you’re ever free, you might come to church to see me and, while you’re at it, visit Alice for me.”
Yu Mingluan’s voice gradually softened and as he spoke his form quickly faded and thinned, as if dissipating with the wind.
Xu Shu stood dumbfounded on the spot for quite a while before he understood what Yu Mingluan meant.
He had said he could hold on for two more fights, which meant, at most, he would die in two more days!
He knew his time was short, which was why he had given his life’s treasure to Xu Shu.
Although he didn’t explicitly say it, this was his recognition for him as a “friend through life and death.”
Who was Alice to him? She sounded like his wife, didn’t she? Was this entrusting his child to his care?
What was that “XXX”? Its power was so immense; is there really no way to resolve it?
The local Demigod, rumored to be a Fourth-order Doctor, the Fertility Venerable, Yu Mingluan should seek her out. Could there be a chance for survival?
Sigh, Archbishop…
At his level, life and death are still not entirely in one’s own hands…
Xu Shu’s thoughts flew rapidly, his heart filled with a mixture of melancholy and urgency, leaving only a long sigh.
Who in this world does not die? It’s a pity good people often meet untimely fates!
Hopefully, the Archbishop can survive. After all, he probably wouldn’t want to see his wife left without support in the church!
Xu Shu, with an odd expression, tucked the Holy Word Book under his arm, turned westward, and strode on, crossing the long bridge and moving through the seemingly peaceful city.
In no time, a bustling building came into view.
So early in the day, and there were already people bustling in and out with various documents in their haste.
The name of this building was written on a plaque above the door.
A long string of characters, rather interesting.
Yu Xiangwen Cao Transportation Union Cultural Association.
The Bishop said the Cao Gang’s higher-ups had all been sent out.
So Xu Shu remembered what he came out to do today.
He had promised his foster mother to repay the debt today.
Without the higher-ups, they dare not repay the debt?
How could they dare?
Xu Shu plucked a hat from someone passing by and slapped it onto his face, striding into the building.
