Xiguang City, South District.

The Southern District was once the most chaotic district in Xiguang City. After Xiaer Yin was elected as the city lord, the black and gray industries and gangs in the Southern District suffered a fatal blow. After years of governance, in the city's public security selection after the Rain Festival last year,

The Southern District ranks second in public security among the 26 districts in Xiguang City.

South District·Tasha Port, Pier 5 residential area.

The early morning sun shines through the cracks in the curtains. The city lord's secretary, Yuyuna, is lying on her side on the bed, riding on the quilt, enjoying the comfort of being bedridden. Her mother knocks on the door, and gradually becomes irritable and wants to show her loving motherly care.

Her tone forced her to get up, and she lazily replied that she would get up immediately to appease her mother. Then she lay back and fell asleep again.

Half an hour later, Youyuna gasped and sat at the dining table, eating breakfast. The delicious breakfast at home gradually awakened her taste buds. At this moment, her mother stopped beside her and looked closely at her.

Seconds later, after muttering something strange, he turned around to cook Yuyuna's father's breakfast.

Youyuna looked at the time. It was already half past seven. She had to hurry up and quickly came to the bathroom mirror. Just as she held a handful of water with both hands to wash her face, she suddenly felt something was wrong. She looked up at the mirror and saw herself and the past.

There was no difference, but after I raised my hand to touch the skin on my face and observed carefully, I found that my skin had improved a lot.

Due to staying up late and working intensively, even though Yuyuna was still young, her skin was not as good as her peers. But now she found that she had a dream-level skin condition, which immediately reminded her that after returning home the night before yesterday, she would

Dilute the bottle of emollient and beauty elixir given by one-fifth in the bathtub, and then soak it in it. I feel so drowsy that I almost fall asleep.

I observed it early the next morning, and there was no change. However, I thought that it would take effect once a week for a month. In addition, this is a gift from others. I shouldn’t complain whether it is effective or not. As for making your skin healthy and white until you are 50 years old.

From now on, Youyuna just listened casually. Of course there was such a nourishing secret medicine, but it was not something she, as the secretary of the city lord, could have access to.

Youyuna didn't like driving, so she took the rail bus to the central building. On the way, she couldn't help but touch the skin on her face with her hands, and a smile appeared on her face. A little girl nearby was frightened, and people around her moved away one after another.

After a few short steps, the passengers further away had already started pointing, or muttering that young people nowadays are under too much pressure, which has caused them to become a little perverted. After noticing this, Yuyuna remained calm, but she was actually so ashamed that she wanted to jump out of the car.

Half an hour later, Yuyuna finally arrived at the office on the 33rd floor of the central building. She took a sip of hot drinks and breathed a sigh of relief. She saw several piles of various documents on the table. She tied up her hair, put on her glasses, and started a new day.

work.

When reviewing the second document, Yu Yuna's expression became more solemn. According to the report from the visitor's hotel, the contractor of Apocalypse Paradise who calls himself the Holy Soul Master will leave Xiguang City today. According to the other party's intention, he should return.

Apocalypse Paradise means leaving this world.

Yuyuna brought the documents to the city lord's office. After a while, the city lord Xia Erlin behind the desk put down the files, rubbed his forehead lightly with his fingers, and asked casually: "Yuyuna, how do you feel about Holy Soul?

Very credible.”

"Lord City Lord, I don't think all contractors are completely trustworthy. They are just tourists after entering a world. Even if they commit heinous and appalling things, they can just walk away."

Having said this, Yuyuna's tone paused, and the city lord Xialin raised his hand to tell her not to worry and continue.

"If we evaluate the lawful and moral level of the contractor, I personally feel that Mr. Holy Soul can be called a good person with an easy-going temper, but usually a bit lazy."

After hearing these words, City Lord Xia Eryin nodded. She felt similar to Yu Yuna, but for some reason, Xia Er Yin had a feeling that it was best not to believe this self-proclaimed Holy Soul Master.

Guys, just letting the other person leave like this may be the best ending.

"Yuyuna, go to City Bank and find Vice President Lares and ask him to take you to the underground to look at the trees. Take a photo with this and bring it back to me as soon as possible."

After getting this assignment, Yuyuna didn't ask a single question. More than 40 minutes later, Yuyuna returned to the office and placed a photo with a magical color on the table.

The content of the photo is in the shape of a tree. Because of the magical color of the photo, you can see that the darkness spreads from the ground upward to the trunk and root system of the tree. The invasion is already serious. If we continue to let it go, something will happen to this unknown light tree.

"It erodes so quickly..."

The city lord Xialin put the photo into the crusher. The whine of the exhaust smoke made her eyes trance. After a while, she finally made a decision and said: "Contact the Holy Spirit Master and tell him that I have something urgent to do."

…

Xiguang City·East District, inside a gem workshop.

Because it is not processing decorative gemstones, but catalyzing and inlaying extraordinary gemstones, the location of this gemstone workshop is a bit remote. Compared with the high rent in a good location, this gemstone workshop is not afraid of the deep alleys because of the fragrance of wine. It cannot do business with regular customers.

Come.

But today, the owner of this gemstone workshop encountered the biggest crisis in his life. A group of guys who looked like good people, but were actually not good people, entered the door, forcibly broke the door bolt, and lowered the outer iron door with a clang.

.

The guard who was hired at a high price shouted angrily and came forward, but was whipped into a spinning top by the tauren's mouth. Then, because the guard's killing intent increased sharply, and when the killer fought back, the tauren crushed the back of his head with one hand like a watermelon.

, the workshop owner rolled his eyes and almost fainted on the spot.

The owner of the gem workshop held on strong and did not faint. He witnessed the five men in black behind him skillfully cleaning up the scattered biological tissues and packing them together with the corpse. The workshop owner almost grinned and cried.

, if the scene of squeezing the watermelon just now was a terrifying visual shock, the skillful cleaning now is a fear that gradually seeps into every pore.

The fear of the workshop owner was diluted by the large bag of coins and coins placed on the display cabinet. After learning that this was just a deposit for use in the store, and there would be remuneration later, the fear disappeared and a smile could not be controlled on his face.

, and he didn't care about the dead guard. This was arranged by the local gang to collect protection fees. This gangster was also a talent. He said that he would further protect the gem workshop, but he wanted the workshop owner to give him an extra reward, which belongs to him.

I forced myself to find a job.

The reason why I chose this place is because it is within Xiguang City, but it is also remote enough and not far from the city wall. It is the best choice for a kidnapping location.

Putting down a dark red gem, Su Xiao was about to start tying up secretary Yu Yuna. At this moment, the communicator on the container suddenly rang. After picking it up, he found that it was Yu Yuna calling. After thinking for two seconds, he

Guessing what happened, the trap that had been set up since entering Xiguang City was finally stepped on by the target.

When he first came to Xiguang City, Su Xiao smelled an alluring aroma due to the passive effect of "Devouring Core". Only high-level biological energy/rare soul energy can have such an aroma. The difference between the two is,

"Rare soul energy" is a refreshing fragrance, while "advanced biological energy" is like a delicious delicacy, making people salivate, reveal a bit of red light, and spread out the fangs and teeth of an animal, and enjoy a delicious meal.

Why did Su Xiao use the identity of Saint Soul Master? When he first came to Xiguang City and smelled the refreshing fragrance, he found a somewhat incongruous dark aura. He was very familiar with this dark aura, and it had certain abyssal characteristics.

of darkness.

Blind guessing is a kind of dark attribute energy that is extremely enhanced by the abyss. Then these dark attribute energies breed and grow, and in the process invade the exotic flowers and trees with "rare soul energy".

Under such circumstances, there is no doubt that people who know how to treat the soul system are needed to help eliminate this dark erosion. This is like looking for a doctor when a person is sick, or a veterinarian when an animal is sick. If there is a problem with the exotic flowers and trees in the soul system, it is natural to seek healing souls.

Masters, or those with the ability of the sacred system, as far as the distorted sun of the Lieyang Star is concerned, the sacred system does not dare to live here for a long time.

Of course, City Lord Xialin had doubts about Su Xiao's sudden appearance of the Soul Healing System, but Su Xiao just gave it a try and didn't have much expectations for this trap. Anyway, he had to find an identity to disguise himself as a summoner.

It is also a soul healing department, and there is no cost increase.

To his surprise, his disguised identity actually took effect, but the effect was a little distorted. The city lord Xialin invited him before, not to treat the exotic flowers and trees with "rare soul energy".

It's about helping the goddess of destiny heal her soul wounds, but overall, it's still rewarding.

The current contact from Youyuna is most likely because the city lord Xialin wants to take a risk. Su Xiao picked up the communication and heard from the other side:

"Mr. Holy Soul, do you have time now?"

"Do not have time."

Hearing what Su Xiao said, the secretary opposite Youyuna said: "Mr. Holy Soul, I have a commission here and want to invite you."

Speaking of this, Yuyuna on the opposite side lowered her voice, as if she was afraid that others would hear: "The pay is very high."

It can only be said that she is worthy of being the most confidant secretary of the city lord Xialin. If these words are said in a serious way, it will have a condescending feeling of charity, which will make the listener unhappy. On the other hand, Yu Yuna is a bit youthful.

Being playful and acting like you don't want others to hear, we are acquaintances, and I will always come to you first if I want something good, which makes it easier for people to like you.

"It's not a matter of remuneration. I don't have time recently. I will leave here tomorrow at the latest. I may never come back again. See you again if we are destined, Yoyuna."

After saying that, Su Xiao was about to hang up the communication, and came from the communicator: "Wait, wait."

"..."

Su Xiao did not speak or hang up the communication. Yoyuna on the opposite side said: "Mr. Holy Soul, can you tell me where you are? How about we meet?"

"..."

Lidya Su still didn't speak, as if she was thinking and hesitating.

"It's almost noon. Let's meet at the Pinecone Restaurant. I'll make a reservation and you'll come over in time. No matter where you are, you need to have lunch. The transportation in Xiguang City is convenient. I'll delay you for 10 minutes at most. Oh no.

,20 minutes."

After hearing these words, Su Xiao thought for a few seconds and replied: "Okay, see you in the restaurant."

Hanging up the communication, Su Xiao has determined that it is the city lord Xialin who wants to entrust him with the treatment of the exotic flowers and trees with "rare soul energy". As for why he has to shirk it again and again, this is just the beginning, and there will be many more rejections in the future.

Only then is it safe.

People have a habit. If help comes from the sky, the first thing that comes to mind is definitely not gratitude, but vigilance, such as whether it is a scam, whether there is a trap, etc. On the other hand, if it is rejected after a lot of hard work,

There will definitely be no doubts about the cooperation that was achieved after many attempts.

There is a saying that goes well, heaven never invites, only hell beckons, but if hell starts to refuse to welcome, it can only be said that this is why the old Yin Bing is terrible.

At noon that day, we were in the Pinecone Restaurant, which is two streets away from the center building. This restaurant is not luxurious, which is why we can get closer. This atmosphere is like inviting friends to have a casual meal. It is easier to achieve cooperation if you are not formal.

.

In the private room, Youyuna fully demonstrated her negotiation skills. However, she felt that she was very good at eloquence. Today, she met a man who always smiled but refused ruthlessly. This left Youyuna at her wits' end.

However, after the city lord Xialin walked into the private room and offered a reward that Su Xiao could not refuse, Su Xiao thought about it for half a minute and finally nodded and agreed to the matter, but he also made a condition that he would leave tomorrow

, I don’t have much time to stay in this world. I will start treating the Holy Soul Tree this afternoon, and there is no guarantee of follow-up treatment. After all, I will leave this world.

Su Xiao guessed from the refreshing fragrance of "Rare Soul Energy" that there were exotic flowers and trees in Xiguang City, but she didn't expect it to be the "Sacred Soul Tree". In the ranking of expectations for soul food, the Sacred Soul Tree ranked ninth.

Bit.
