Chapter 415: First World Line
After Lu Yizhan's eyes healed, there was one less competitor for the Army of the Righteous Cross.
An extra one-eyed Cen Buming who has become the second lieutenant of the second detachment.
Lu Yizhan also from the third detachment of a small team member in charge of cleaning, in two large accidents shocked off the eyeballs to complete the triple jump, successfully completed the examination of the [Crusader Army], and became one of them.
There is also a lot of talk behind the scenes that Lu Yizhan's position has come in disrepute.
This position would not have been available to him if not for the fact that the Crusaders had lost two generals in a row, and that Cen Buming, their best competitor, had withdrawn for some reason, choosing to take over the position of Vice-Captain of the second detachment in the midst of the second team's downfall.
But Lu Yizhan didn't take any of this to heart, because there was simply too much information for him to digest.
"Listen carefully, the appearance of [Heresy] is a game played between Bai Liu, who is an evil god, and us." Sitting across from Lu Yizhan was a serious young man wearing square-framed glasses named Wu Ruishu, one of the members of the Ortho-Cross Judgment Army, who also served as the vice-captain of the first detachment.
Mainly responsible for the first detachment and the Cross Judgment Army's clerical and logistical work, at the same time responsible for all the archives in the base heresy file information summarization and organization, is said to be a sixteen-year-old into the Cross Judgment Army's genius, the trainee when the paper grades are very good, the logical reasoning and information processing ability is excellent, is responsible for almost more than half of the heresy's weaknesses of the survey record work.
But the sparring results are mediocre because the limbs are not well coordinated.
In the half month Lu Yizhan has been in the [Army of the Cross], he has fully realized how uncoordinated this Lieutenant Wu's limbs are - the man can accidentally break his glasses into five pieces on top of the toilet lid when going to the toilet, and at the same time slip and sit down when he gets up.
Lu Yizhan's blank expression as he watched the lenses being removed from Wu Ruishu's ass as he was rushed to the med bay, his admiration for the lieutenant was gone.
Wu Ruishu's weapon is said to be a family heirloom Taiji Baguazhang Tu, but Lu Yizhan has never seen Wu Ruishu use it. After all, Wu Ruishu hasn't been out in the field for most of the past month, and has been telling Lu Yizhan, who is new to the team, information about their arch-enemy, Bai Liu's information.
"[Heresy] was something that started out being decentralized directly and randomly by Bai Liu, without any pattern, resulting in widespread casualties and a lot of effort to house the heretics by the time we often got there, but it wasn't until one time that Fang Dian caught sight of Bai Liu!"
Wu Ruishu pushed up his glasses, he brought out excitement in his tone and couldn't help but see a sparkle in his eyes when he spoke of Fang Dian, the rightful captain, "Fang Dian made a pact with Bai Liu to play a game, and if she won the game, Bai Liu would no longer be able to decentralize the heretics at will."
Lu Yizhan asks, "What's the game?"
Wu Ruishu quieted for a moment, "...... tower defense game, ever heard of it?"
"The Heretic Authority is the tower on our side, and Bai Liu has his own set of towers, and whoever breaches the other's tower first wins the game."
Lu Yizhan couldn't resist asking, "Where is Bai Liu's tower?"
"We'd like to know that too." Wu Ruishu says softly, "Every time Bai Liu devolves a heretic, he gives us a partial hint, prompting us to the tower he set."
"The more dangerous the heresy, the more information about [the tower] is wrapped up in it."
"Information?" Lu Yizhan asked rhetorically, frowning.
"It's the coordinates." Wu Ruishu said with calm eyes, "On some special heretics, there will be some number related information after being institutionalized, we have obtained twelve numbers, after my many experiments and speculations, I suspect that these are most likely the coordinates of the latitude and longitude lines, as long as they are reasonably aligned, we will be able to find Bai Liu's [Tower]. "
"Soon we'll be able to assist the party in winning this game and then stop this ridiculousness."
Wu Ruishu said as he took a long breath and couldn't help but have a smile on his face.
"What are you laughing at?" Fang Dian pushed her way out of the side office next to theirs while putting on her jacket and smiled when she saw Wu Ruishu laughing, "So happy?"
Wu Ruishu instantly tenses his body and nods a very stereotypical greeting to Fang Dian, "Hello Fang."
Lu Yizhan was also nervous and straightened his legs, "Hello, squad!"
Dian Fang grinned as she casually gathered and tied her half-length hair, which was draped over her shoulders, and vigorously patted them on their upturned chests, "Good for you, too!"
When Fang Dian left, Lu Yizhan, who was photographed with a small red face, covered his chest and Wu Ruishu, who was also red-faced next to him, quietly looked at each other: "......"
Sure enough, it's all about liking the squares.
Lu Yizhan wasn't surprised by this, he had heard before joining the [Army of the Cross Judgment] that Wu Ruishu's path to joining the team was different from their normal trainees.
Wu Ruishu was a kid from a pretty good family, and his father was also a collector, but one time he collected a strange item from an auction - a stalk of blood reishi that was said to give him immortality if he ate it.
The Blood Ganoderma was cut into eight pieces and auctioned off. His father got one of the pieces, but he didn't realize that the Blood Ganoderma needed to be nurtured. Fifteen year old Wu Ruishu was almost sacrificed to his father's blood when his father went off the deep end, and it was Fang Dian, who had heard of the incident, who rescued him.
Since then Wu Ruishu has had his heart set on joining the Heresy Authority.
A halfway decent nerd like him has suffered a lot as a trainee in a place like the Heretic Authority where training is more brutal, but Wu Ruishu has finally managed to become Fang Dian's second-in-command like he wanted to, thanks to his good brain and his screwed-up determination not to turn back until he hits the wall.
But Wu Ruishu's love for Fang Dian is more like a romantic fantasy and yearning than a love between a man and a woman, kind of like a fan's love for an idol, a very strong faith, an unconditional hope, so Lu Yizhan never felt jealous, but sometimes felt a bit funny.
"The Fang can surely lead us to defeat Bai Liu!" Wu Ruishu shook his fist with glowing eyes, "Good will triumph over evil!"
Lu Yizhan: "......"
Like right now.
As rude as it was for Vice Captain Wu to laugh out loud, he really wanted to.
"Lieutenant Wu, the Cross Judgment Army is so strong, it feels like it's beyond the realm of normal human abilities." Lu Yizhan humbly asked for advice, "Is there some sort of special training? Do I need to carry out these special trainings?"
Wu Ruishu quieted for a moment, "No. The reason we can do so many things beyond the norm is because we have individual skills."
"Personal skills?" Lu Yizhan frowns and asks back, "What's that?"
Wu Ruishu was silent for a moment, "It is a certain ability that Bai Liu has delegated to us based on our desires."
"Fang Dian found Bai Liu once and tried his best to play against him once and almost died, Bai Liu saved her and said I haven't seen a human with such a strong desire that can approach the level of [God] for a long time."
"If you weren't evil enough, with too many parts of pure goodness in your desires, perhaps at this very moment you would have succeeded in decapitating me and becoming the next generation of evil gods - that's how Bai Liu described the Fang."
Wu Ruishu took a deep breath, "The Fang says that good will eventually triumph over evil, and we can defeat you with our desire for good."
"Bai Liu said, "Okay, I'll play a game with you, I'll materialize your desires for goodness, empower you with the ability that your desires give you to defy me, and if you do win, I'll withdraw from this world line."
Wu Ruishu clenched his fist again, "The Fonz will beat him for sure!"
Lu Yizhan opened his mouth, wanting to ask what would happen if he lost, but in the end, looking at Wu Ruishu's face, he didn't ask that question.
Wu Ruishu was really a great vice-captain, and he identified twelve coordinates around the world that could be Bai Liu's [tower] within a year of Lu Yizhan's entry into the [Crusader Army], and then the [Crusader Army] went out and eliminated them one by one, one by one, in order.
But even if the coordinates they go to are not Bai Liu's [tower], they will inevitably have to play a [game] with Bai Liu when they arrive wherever they are.
The casualties from [the game] are tragic, but they're not all bad.
Bai Liu recognized Lu Yizhan as a Crusader during an in-game session, delegating to him skills that were derived from his desires.
But Lu Yizhan wasn't really happy about it, instead he was a bit embarrassed.
--Because his skill weapon is a heavy sword identical to Fang Dian's.
At the end of the game, Lu Yizhan, who had won the game with Bai Liu, gained his own skill.
The heavy sword snapped out of Bai Liu's hand and hit Lu Yizhan in the face, then Bai Liu looked at the heavy sword and raised a subtle eyebrow before disappearing.
Lu Yizhan was directly slapped to the ground by the heavy sword, and as he was struggling to climb out from under the overly heavy sword, he turned his head to see Fang Dian curiously crouching next to him, poking at the heavy sword that was pressing down on him, almost crushing him: "Lu Yizhan, how come your skill weapon is exactly the same as mine? "
There was a heartfelt smile from almost everyone in the Crusaders at the time, including Wu Ruishu.
Lu Yizhan scratched the back of his head with a red face and stumbled as he frantically hid his heavy sword behind his back, "Ahh! It's because I'm rather envious of this kind of weapon in Fang team's hands! I adore Team Fang!"
Fang Dian was slightly puzzled, "But Wu Ruishu already worships me enough, and his weapon is a taijitu, not a heavy sword?"
"Ahem." Wu Ruishu explained for Lu Yizhan in a serious manner, "Maybe this is a weapon derived from a deeper level of worship and desire."
Lu Yizhan: "......"
There's no need to specifically explain it for me, Lieutenant Wu.
Fang Dian touched his chin, "But my heavy sword is heavy eh, Lu Yizhan, can you lift it?"
Lu Yizhan, who is dragging his heavy sword with all his strength: "......"
Damn it! I just can't lift it! I'm such a loser!
"Let's do it this way then, since we have the same weapon." Fang Dian smiled and walked to Lu Yizhan's side, she casually held Lu Yizhan's hand and with it drew her heavy sword and swung it steadily forward, the night wind blew through her hair, Fang Dian smiled and looked back, her hair brushed past her curved eyes, "You're going to join me in the special training from now on, I'll teach you how to use the heavy sword! "
Lu Yizhan's brain went blank for five minutes before he blurted out the word good in a trance.
That night Lu Yizhan slept happily with his heavy sword in his arms and with tears in his eyes.
