Chapter 785: Chapter 4 Xu Shu’s Interrogation, Dao Heart Is Enlightened (Request for Monthly Pass)_3
Xu Shu’s mouth cracked open as he smiled and lowered his voice, "Drill a hole to let the light in."
"?" A question mark appeared above the Snake Woman’s head.
She quickly realized that something was terribly wrong because her neckline was being pulled open, and the big orange she had stolen was exposed to the light, chillingly squeezed flat and then round again.
At the same time, Xu Shu delivered a jab with his stick, smoothly transitioning into creating chaos, and within this private room, he truly brought Snake Woman Xiao Guang to her knees, reached full communion with her Dao heart, and achieved a grand harmony of life.
...
...
Outside the private room.
Xu Tianci and others were warily watching the door, waiting for the outcome.
Li Biao suddenly pricked up his ears and asked, "Did you guys hear that? There’s some noise."
As a "Hunter," his senses were quite sharp; even with the good sound insulation of the door, he could still catch some noises.
"What noise?"
The others didn’t have such good hearing.
"I don’t know, a thudding sound; it seems Brother Yu has started, perhaps he’s banging that snake creature’s head against the wall, I heard her making whimpering noises," Li Biao said.
"Eh, is that all?"
Xu Tiance and another person exchanged glances, expressing their skepticism.
They were old rivals of Xinglong Manor and knew how loyal those Snake Servants could be; with such methods, could they really get any information out of her?
After about fifteen minutes, Li Biao spoke again, "It’s changed, the noise has changed!"
"What do you mean?"
"Eh, it’s turned into slapping sounds now, looks like they’re smacking her! This time it seems effective, the snake creature is screaming loudly!" Li Biao said excitedly.
"Good, it seems Brother Yu indeed has some tricks up his sleeve," Xu Tianci and the other man also began to get excited.
Their excitement lasted for over an hour.
Their expressions grew more and more puzzled.
This Yu Mingluan, his interrogation was taking too long, wasn’t it?
However, there seemed to be some effect indeed, listening to that snake creature’s voice, growing more and more pitiful, even they could faintly hear it from outside the soundproof door!
At this moment, there was movement behind them; they turned to look and promptly bowed, saying:
"Supervisor!"
The arrival was a male over two meters tall, with piercing eyes, and had brought along quite a few experts with him; it was none other than the Supervisor of Jin Baoshan, who had hurried over upon receiving the news.
His arrival gave Xu Tianci and the others a backbone because the man was the extremely strong Second Order Master, Deep Diver Bai Hongzhi!
"What’s the situation now? Where’s Red Rose?" Bai Hongzhi asked.
"Report to the Supervisor, it was Xinglong Manor who took action! We lost 17 brothers, Sister Qiangwei is missing, we killed one First Rank Snake Servant on the spot, and furthermore..."
Xu Tianci and the others hurriedly recounted what had happened.
When they got to the part about another Xinglong Manor "Snake Servant," their expressions became strange as they said:
"This Brother Yu Mingluan is quite enthusiastic, he’s helping us interrogate her inside!"
"Interrogating?"
Bai Hongzhi was somewhat puzzled.
It seemed that the "rigorous interrogation" was over inside the private room by now, so he hadn’t heard anything.
Just as he was puzzled and prepared to barge in, the door to the private room opened.
Xu Shu came out neatly dressed, with a smile on his face.
In the past few days, he had to face the invasion of Esoteric Buddhism, barely escaping death several times, the pressure was extremely great, his heart always seething, with a great deal of anger.
And today, this Snake Woman Xiao Guang had a fairly good appearance; malevolent thoughts arose in Xu Shu, while interrogating her, he did everything that ought to be done.
It has to be said, shivering indeed is an excellent way to ease mental pressure.
This time he showed no mercy and compassion, releasing his pressure ruthlessly, now feeling completely vitalized, elevated in spirits.
It was indeed the case, Xu Shu thought, that his current visit to purchase tickets shouldn’t necessarily involve him in the struggle between the local forces of Xinglong Manor and Jin Baoshan.
But upon further reflection, what truly lay beyond the stars?
Humanity’s situation was perilous, seemingly safeguarded by the Star Tower and providing a haven for all.
Yet in reality, those eerie and powerful Evil Gods were always lurking in the shadows, constantly aspiring to descend upon the earth and unleash unimaginable destruction upon mankind.
In such circumstances, it was clearly unwise for humanity to engage in internal strife!
Instead, they should unite, expanding their territories together.
With his own strength and resolution, naturally he should bear the worries of the country and its people, rather than crave for personal pleasures...
"Are you Yu Mingluan?" a voice interrupted Xu Shu’s train of thought.
He looked up, and Li Biao immediately said, "Brother Yu, this is our Supervisor, Bai Hongzhi!"
"Oh, it’s Supervisor Bai, hello!"
Xu Shu shook his empty head and quickly regained his composure, "The interrogation just now was quite effective, and I have subdued this snake monster, who has disclosed all she knows."
As he spoke, he lifted his clothing to show.
Tucked into his waist was a slightly swollen pouch, within it coiled a white snake over a meter long.
The white snake, with its head connecting to its tail forming a loop, posed as his belt, seemingly exhausted to the point of sleep, its jade-like mouth still rimmed with some undried white adhesive.
"..."
Silence fell over the entire room.
Bai Hongzhi was quite shocked and, for a moment, couldn’t figure out what sort of high-standing figure Yu Mingluan really was.
He respectfully inquired, "May I ask Brother Yu, what message is that?"
Xu Shu said, "The person who attacked here today is the Second Master of Xinglong Manor, named Yan Xiong. As for your Third Chief Red Rose, they have also captured her. If you wish to save her, you should negotiate terms with them today..."
He suddenly paused, touched his chin, and said, "It seems to be about the ownership of a certain mining area, what was it called... what’s the name of that mine?"
Xu Shu patted the white snake’s head.
The snake lifted its head weakly, delivering a voice so sweet it trembled, "My lord, it is the Cloud Platform Mine."
"Right, the Cloud Platform Mine!"
Xu Shu stuffed the white snake back onto his waist.
The crowd watched this scene in shocked silence.
Bai Hongzhi’s expression changed, and he began to second-guess himself before finally speaking slowly after a while, "Thank you, Brother Yu, for your help with the interrogation! This Snake Servant..."
"This Snake Servant is my spoils of war, I’m taking it, you don’t have any objections, right." Xu Shu said.
He looked indifferently at Bai Hongzhi. Although his tone was even, it clearly carried an air that brooked no refusal.
Bai Hongzhi had intended to say that this white Snake Servant should be considered ’human evidence’ and should be handed over to him.
But seeing Xu Shu’s demeanor and after hesitating for a moment, he changes his statement, "Of course, this is your credit, it’s just that by capturing a Snake Servant of Xinglong Manor, I fear they won’t let this rest easily, so please be careful."
"No problem, if I dare capture, naturally I’m not afraid of them coming after me."
Xu Shu responded cheerfully, and suddenly said, "This is a matter between you, and it is not convenient for an outsider like me to intervene, so I won’t disturb you any longer. However, I would like to trouble Supervisor Bai with something."
"Please speak," Bai Hongzhi’s brow furrowed.
"I’m passing by and would like to purchase four tickets; I’ve been waiting since this morning and would appreciate if Supervisor Bai could make an exception," Xu Shu asked, following the local customs with a cupped-fist salute.
"Four tickets is nothing, haha, easily done!"
Bai Hongzhi immediately agreed and tasked Xu Tianci and the other two to handle this, while he himself hurried out the door, clearly busy with the rescue mission.
After a round of formalities and stamping, Xu Shu spent several hours and finally got his hands on four color paper tickets, marked "Jin Baoshan Mine Entrance Certification and Passage."
"Gentlemen, I shall take my leave now," Xu Shu secured the travel permits, which were essential for purchasing tickets.
Xu Tianci and the other two were flattered and also quickly returned the gesture.
Watching Xu Shu’s figure leave, Li Biao was somewhat puzzled.
For some reason, he felt that after the man emerged from interrogating the white Snake Servant in the private room, his attitude towards them seemed to have grown quite distant, no longer as warmly amiable as before.
