Chapter 8 · "Su Lin makes tea."

"What do you need me to do?" Lu Shu came over.

Lu Shu didn't care about the mystery. His action trajectory has always been simple - find Su Ming'an, help Su Ming'an, and finally, do his best to achieve Su Ming'an's success.

"For now..." Su Mingan said.

There was a sudden knock on the door.

"Dong dong."

A red-haired man stood at the door. The man's eyes were as beautiful as orange gems. There was a bright silver pistol on his waist, which glowed with a dazzling cold light in the sun.

"Hello, I am Li Yuxuan, the person in charge of the Urban Guardian Department." The red-haired man showed a friendly smile: "Su Wensheng, right? I heard that you are going to intern at the Urban Guardian Department?"

"...Yes." Su Mingan nodded.

"Okay. Now let me introduce you to the Urban Guardian Department..." Li Yuxuan is a very clean and tidy person. She doesn't talk nonsense when meeting, and directly explains to Su Mingan: "The Urban Guardian Department is responsible for protecting the city, and it is a mission model similar to that of mercenaries. We will rank them according to their task contribution, including SS level, S level, A level, B level, etc."

Listening to this, Su Ming'an felt that the model of the [Urban Guardian Department] was a bit like Praia's soul hunting - risking his life to kill the souls hidden among humans.

He has a good impression of this kind of righteous organization.

"Understood." Su Mingan nodded and reported his personal information.

"Daoyacheng No. 1 High School... Su Wensheng. Okay." Li Yuxuan took a tablet and recorded: "Age? Family background? Ambition? What are you good at? Have you ever had a similar internship?"

"1-Eye Watch" A Du's search records: "The father is a border guard, and the mother's identity is unknown." "

He hasn't seen his relatives yet. If Ah Du hadn't searched for some household registration information, he wouldn't have been able to answer the question.

"My choice is Beiqing University." Su Mingan said: "There is no similar internship. I have been in high school."

"Bang." Li Yuxuan closed the lid of the tablet: "I understand. Now that the Guardian Department is short of people, it's time for you to catch up. Let me tell you about the current situation. There are a total of twenty-six countries and thirty Two independent cities, that is to say - there are fifty-eight independent political systems in total. The abandoned city you are in is located in one-fifty-eighth of the Ubang Kingdom."

"Yeah." Su Mingan nodded.

"I am in charge of all matters in Ubang State. You can always contact me if you have any questions." Li Yuxuan said.

"Do you have a high status?" Su Mingan asked.

Li Yuxuan didn't expect Su Ming'an to ask such a direct question, and nodded: "Yes. If I hadn't been friends with Li Mingyue, I wouldn't have come to communicate with you, a newcomer. It has happened so frequently recently that I can only end it myself. "

Su Ming'an thought of his vest and asked briefly: "What is the status of the deputy minister of the City Protection Department?"

Li Yuxuan was startled.

Then, enthusiasm appeared in his eyes:

"All you need to know is that the deputy secretary is the most charismatic and intelligent man."

Su Ming'an was confused by Li Yuxuan's words and couldn't help but say "Huh?"

"Although the minister is the supreme leader, only the deputy minister has been in contact with all parties. Without him, we would not be able to reach a contract with the military and unite mankind," Li Yuxuan said.

In Li Yuxuan's words, the deputy minister is an extremely tall and majestic image, and is the spiritual leader of the entire guardianship department.

Su Mingan: "...uh."

"Uh, what, uh, be serious!" Li Yuxuan admonished: "You are a newcomer who is coming to intern, so you have some respect for the leader!"

Su Mingan: "...Oh."

He thought to himself - this is such a great start.

He is also the leader of the Human Self-Salvation Alliance and the deputy minister of the City Protection Department. Of the four major human forces, two are in my hands. It’s hard to imagine how to lose.

After all registrations were completed, Li Yuxuan was about to leave when a dark shadow suddenly appeared at the door.

It was a man covered in a cloak who appeared quietly in the corridor.

Su Ming'an remembered - this was the cloaked man who called him "Deputy Minister" yesterday. He had promised that the cloaked man would come to protect Su Ming'an today, and he came as expected.

But this timing is really...unlucky!

"Elder? Why are you here?" Li Yuxuan bowed slightly towards the cloaked man. It seems that the cloaked man's status in the Guardian Department is higher than that of Li Yuxuan.

The cloaked man glanced at Li Yuxuan, thinking that Li Yuxuan was an insider who knew about "the deputy minister's seclusion". He walked directly towards Su Ming'an and wanted to kneel down on one knee: "Deputy..."

"Stop!" Su Mingan immediately stretched out his hand to stop the cloaked man's movements.

Suddenly, a strange scene appeared.

Li Yuxuan bowed towards the cloaked man, and the cloaked man bowed towards Su Ming'an, while Su Ming'an stretched out his hands to stop the cloaked man's gift. The three people form a rotating circle.

Lu Shu and Su Luoluo stood aside blankly, unable to understand the situation in front of them.

Seeing this, the cloaked man thought quickly and quickly realized that Li Yuxuan was unaware of this matter. He immediately stood up straight and pretended as if nothing had happened.

Su Ming'an also immediately retracted his hand and pretended that he had done nothing.

"Elder? You just called the deputy..." Li Yuxuan had sharp ears and heard something was wrong.

"What are you doing! You are hearing hallucinations! I told you that you should combine work and rest when practicing Talisman Seal! If you do it every day, you will become a madman!" The man in black robe immediately changed the subject.

"Your mental condition is not very good either. Didn't you suddenly yell yesterday and say you were going to eat stones..." Li Yuxuan retorted.

Watching the exchange between the two, Su Mingan realized that the mental state of the world's strongest men was quite poor.

The stronger you become, the more in-depth you have to learn the talismans, and the brain will suffer more and more abnormal influences. Therefore, the mental state of strong people is generally abnormal.

They integrate twisted, weird, terrifying, and desperate spiritual influences into themselves, taking crazy risks and constantly approaching the peak. Only in this way can the crumbling human population be protected.

No price, no gain.

One part madness, one part strength.

——This is the unchanging law of the old world. It is also the last light of human civilization on the verge of collapse.

…

A large merchant ship sails on the sea.

There was a strange aroma of brewing tea floating in the captain's room. A young captain in sailing uniform was concentrating on adding tea leaves to the pot and adjusting the heat.

On the table, a news broadcast came from the radio:

"Regarding the recent urban air raids, the old Holy See confessed. At noon today, Daoya City also suffered an air raid. Nineteen artillery shells were dropped, causing countless casualties..."

"——Captain! We are reaching the edge of the world ahead!" The sailor's report came from outside the cabin.

Hearing the sailor's voice, Su Lin looked into the distance.

Above the sea, several icebergs gradually appeared in the distance.

"Can't these icebergs be bypassed?" Su Lin asked.

After entering the dungeon, he kept looking for the gods, but failed to find them. So he decided to cross the edge of the world, maybe in this way he could find the gods. The sea area is restricted by rules and cannot be flown, so it can only be reached by sailing.

The old captain of this ship died. After paying money, Su Lin became the new captain of this big ship. On the vast sea, he wore a captain's hat and looked at his still young face in the mirror. Suddenly he seemed to be the high-spirited young captain in Praia again, and nothing seemed to have changed.

"There is no way around the iceberg. If we want to cross the edge of the world and reach unreached areas, we can only-" the sailor pursed his lips and said loudly:

"—Captain, we can only break these icebergs!"

Su Lin smiled and said: "Then let's hit it."

"beep--!"

A whistle blew, and the ship crashed into the iceberg. Su Lin used flames, and golden-red flames spurted out, like hundreds of firebirds swooping on the sea, melting the iceberg in front of him, allowing the ship to pass.

"It's going to melt! It's going to melt! It's going to pass!"

The sailors' faces were full of excitement, and Su Lin was also in a happy mood. Surrounded by sailors, he seemed to have returned to his youth. It seems that as long as you work hard enough, everything will have wonderful results.

At this moment——

"Wow——!"

A bright green tentacle suddenly emerged from the bottom of the sea and blocked the front of the ship.

"What!" the sailors cried out in panic, and the excitement on their faces faded instantly.

Su Lin frowned slightly and looked at the sea.

A tentacled monster like a sacred tree slowly surfaced on the water, revealing its huge body that covered the sky and the sun. Its shape is exactly the same as the tentacled monster Su Mingan had seen in "Lou Yue Kingdom".

[Do not cross the edge of the world. ] The tentacle monster said in a cold voice: [Leave quickly, otherwise, you will die. 】

——It turns out that the edge of the world cannot be crossed. Once you get close, a terrifying monster will stop people.

"Are you the god of this world?" Su Lin thought this was the god.

[Do not cross the edge of the world. ] The tentacle monster raised its ferocious tentacles: [Otherwise, death. 】

Su Lin took a step forward and raised the flaming sword in his hand. He is not afraid of the threat of the tentacle monster at all, he just wants to have a good fight with this thing.

At this time, he suddenly saw the sailors next to him.

The sailors were lying on the ground, fear on their faces.

Thinking that if a war broke out, it would be difficult for these sailors to survive, Su Lin was silent for a moment and took back the sword in his hand. He does not care about the lives of humans in other worlds, but these deaths cannot be caused by him.

"Turn around." Su Lin said calmly, "Go back."
