Chapter 153: Two-Way Rush

~8 min read 1,514 words

Gulp, gulp, gulp.

Huang Litian picked up the wine bottle on the table, took a gulp, and said drunkenly.

"If they're dead, they're dead. Our leader Tan Qingjiang, and the president and vice-president of the Class-Changer Guild, aren't they all missing? There were people killed in public at Mr. Zhuge's funeral. Why can't an Yin Xiang die?"

"Master... you..."

Xu Xiu's gaze was a bit complex. Once upon a time, Huang Litian was a famous hard worker in the Investigation Bureau, meticulous in investigating things, and had to get to the bottom of things before he would give up.

But I don't know when it started, Huang Litian began to live a life of drunkenness and dreams, ignoring everything.

Xu Xiu originally thought that the Yin Xiang matter could reignite Huang Litian's enthusiasm for work, but he didn't expect him to still have no reaction.

"Xu Xiu, look at it openly. Don't you understand yet? In the eyes of those big shots, we are just a pawn! No, not a pawn, a dog!"

Huang Litian laughed, his drunken face laughing extremely miserably.

"A dog that comes when called and goes when waved away! Even if we find out the truth, what can we do? Even if the truth is right in front of us, what can we do? As long as a big shot says a word, isn't everything settled?"

Xu Xiu took a deep breath, then said firmly.

"Master, if you don't investigate, I will! I don't understand those ways, I only know that I am an investigator!"

Looking at Xu Xiu's departing back, Huang Litian was silent for a long time.

And Xu Xiu, who rushed out of the door, happened to bump into someone, falling to the ground, his face twitching with pain.

"Sorry, are you okay?"

A powerful hand helped Xu Xiu up.

Xu Xiu then saw clearly that the person who bumped into him was a sturdy young man, his skin a bit dark, his face a bit shy, and he was carrying a dark silver longbow and an arrow quiver on his back, like a vigorous leopard.

"It's okay, thank you." Xu Xiu patted the dust off his body.

"Don't be so polite, it was me who bumped into you, I should be the one apologizing to you." The sturdy young man scratched his head honestly.

"Hehe, listening to your accent, you don't look like a Qingcheng person. From out of town?"

Xu Xiu handed over a cigarette, but the sturdy young man waved his hands repeatedly.

"I don't smoke. I am indeed from out of town because the Ji Group is hiring bodyguards at a high salary, so I thought about whether I could come and make a living."

Hearing this, Xu Xiu nodded. Because of the sudden appearance of the Demon Clan in Realm No. 79, many class-changers died in Qingcheng, and a lot of vital strength was lost.

Therefore, City Lord Hu Weng had issued many announcements in the past two days, opening up many benefits and encouraging class-changers from other cities to settle in Qingcheng.

Because of this, there were many foreign class-changers in Qingcheng these past few days, so Xu Xiu didn't suspect anything, lit a cigarette, and went to busy himself with his own affairs.

He would never have thought that the person who had just brushed past him was the true culprit he was investigating.

"It seems this new identity is quite useful."

Ye Lin grinned. Now he was going to the Ji family to apply for a bodyguard position.

And the person he was going to protect was his own clone.

True—I protect myself.

After all, that clone is a rare item. The clones created by One Qi Transforms into Three Purities are exactly the same as the main body. Ye Lin's main body is already level 43, and the clone he creates will also be level 43.

And that clone, because of being monitored, had never gone out, which led to the clone still being only level 28.

Ye Lin couldn't create a second level 28 clone now, so he naturally had to protect it well. And by becoming the clone's bodyguard, he could openly go to the capital with the clone by teleportation array.

As for killing his way to the capital from the wilderness alone... Ye Lin didn't think he had such great ability at level 43.

If the wilderness were really that safe, humans wouldn't be forced to hide behind city walls to live.

So Ye Lin let the clone mention the need for a bodyguard to Ji's father a few days ago, and Ji's father immediately started arranging the selection.

When Ye Lin arrived at the Ji Group, many class-changers had already gathered at the entrance.

After all, the conditions offered by the Ji Group were extremely generous. Basically, as long as you could get the job, life would be full of luxury cars and beauties.

For this bodyguard selection, Ji's father specifically ordered people to temporarily build a ring downstairs that could accommodate hundreds of people. The ring reflected a metallic luster in the sun.

And the rules for this selection were also very simple and crude: those below level 35 were directly eliminated, those above level 35 went directly to the ring, and whoever could stand to the end on the ring would be the final hire.

When they heard that only class-changers above level 35 were needed, a sigh of disappointment came from the scene, because most people actually just wanted to come and fish in troubled waters and try their luck.

Let alone level 35, many people weren't even level 20.

After some screening, only eleven people could step onto the ring, including Ye Lin, who was carrying a bow.

And as soon as Ye Lin stepped onto the ring, the other ten people couldn't help but lean toward the other side of the ring. They all felt a dangerous aura from Ye Lin. This guy looked terrifyingly strong just from his standing posture.

And when testing the level just now, Ye Lin's level was as high as 43, which made them feel wary and also a bit speechless.

Level 43 is considered a figure in Qingcheng. Such an existence actually has nothing to do but run over to grab a bodyguard position with them. Is this reasonable?

The ten people exchanged glances and understood each other's thoughts, which was to join forces to solve Ye Lin first. Otherwise, they definitely wouldn't have any chance.

Little did they know that Ye Lin was even more speechless. It seems the employment environment is really not good. A bodyguard position in the Ji Group can actually attract ten class-changers above level 35. It's really outrageous.

He originally thought that he would be hired directly when he came, but now it seems he still has to fight.

When the Ji Group announced the start, the ten people attacked Ye Lin together!

Flames, water curtains, sword qi, blade gang, all kinds of attacks came toward Ye Lin.

However, Ye Lin was clearly prepared for this. He quickly unslung the Eight Desolations Holy Silver Bow, aimed at one of the class-changers, pulled the bowstring, and shot an arrow!

Originally, Ye Lin subconsciously intended to shoot at the face, but considering this was in full view, it was not good to hurt anyone's life, so the arrowhead moved down a few points and hit the opponent's shoulder.

Even so, with the blessing of over two thousand points of strength, this arrow still shot the opponent into a scream and sent him flying.

"Be careful, his class is an archer! Close the distance and solve him! Any knight or tank class? Come out and block the arrows!" A man with glasses said coldly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Lin shot an arrow toward him. The man with glasses felt cold in his heart because he had no confidence in dodging this arrow!

Just then, a sturdy man with a beard carrying a large shield blocked in front of the man with glasses. A lifelike lion head was carved on the shield. When the arrow approached, the lion head let out a roar, greatly slowing down the speed of the arrow, and then it hit the large shield.

Even so, the powerful force contained in this arrow forced the sturdy man with a beard to retreat more than ten steps before he could barely stabilize his figure.

"This guy has terrifying strength! Solve him quickly, I can't hold on for many of his arrows!" The sturdy man hurriedly said.

The other few assassin and warrior class-changers nodded, then quickly approached Ye Lin.

But at this time, Ye Lin made a behavior that made them puzzled. I saw Ye Lin take out a sharp arrow from the arrow quiver again and quickly approached the remaining nine class-changers.

This two-way rush scene left everyone stunned on the spot. Although the strength of an archer cannot be underestimated, what do you mean by an archer quickly approaching the other party?
