"To investigate the hidden cultists in District 11..."

Shang Wu stared silently at the task that popped up on his phone. This wasn't a task from the Disaster Squad; it was a personal task directly assigned to him.

They bypassed Ye Bufan and the others, and gave him the task alone, without his consent.

Shangwu didn't look at the points rewards, because he had no right to refuse them.

"Why…"

Shang Wu sighed, his face showing an indescribable emotion.

"Senior, why are you sighing like that?"

A playful voice sounded behind her, and someone patted her left shoulder.

Shang Wu looked helplessly at Xu Ruiling, who had suddenly appeared on his right: "Xiaoling, stop messing around."

"Hehe, what's wrong, senior? Don't you like this nickname?"

Xu Ruiling joked.

She did enter Kaitian Academy through the back door via Shangwu, but as time went by, Xu Ruiling also showed her talent.

Now she has become a student at Kaitian Academy, and a junior student of Shangwu.

Shang Wu tapped Xu Ruiling on the head and said irritably, "You're a Grandmaster now, you should be more composed."

"So what if I'm a Grandmaster?" Xu Ruiling said nonchalantly. "Grandmasters are human too. Besides, who said I'm not composed?"

As she spoke, she proudly pulled out her phone: "Look, the Academy trusts me a lot. They sent me to assist the investigators who went to District 11."

Like Shang Wu, Xu Ruiling's phone also had tasks sent directly to her personally.

However, the document did not specify what the mission of the investigators going to District 11 was; it only instructed Xu Ruiling to assist them.

Shang Wu stared blankly at the task, a bitter feeling rising in his heart as he looked at the task on the other person's phone.

There's no need to hide anymore. He already sensed something was wrong when Xu Ruiling emerged unharmed from the collapsed stands.

I was just too concerned at the time and didn't think much about it.

Later, he went to Xu Ruiling's room and talked to her about going to Kaitian Academy.

Xu Ruiling thought she was hiding it well, but the faint smell of blood in the room proved that she was concealing something.

They had relied on each other since childhood, and after leaving the orphanage, they had never been separated. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they understood each other better than the other did.

Something that Xu Ruiling would keep from telling him.

Under those circumstances, Shangwu could not think of any other possibility besides the Creation Sect.

But he didn't care.

Regardless of Xu Ruiling's identity or stance, in Shangwu's eyes, she is still herself.

She was the little heroine who stood in his way when he was a child, his childhood sweetheart during his school days, and now his beloved girlfriend.

Even if this is concealed, it means that members of the Creation Cult can be no different from ordinary people.

Shangwu was probably the first person, apart from the believers, to know this information.

If it were reported, it would definitely make Kaitian City aware of the problem and prevent the current situation from happening.

Inevitably, he will be interrogated about where he got his information. Even if he is smart enough, he is not 100% sure that Xu Ruiling will not resort to violence.

He wouldn't do anything that involved Xu Ruiling unless he was 100% sure.

It is undeniable that Xu Ruiling has become a believer.

Fortunately, Xu Ruiling did not make any moves after that, which reassured Shang Wu, who thought she could keep it up.

However, before the Creation Cult could do anything, the higher-ups learned that the followers could conceal the characteristics of the strange beasts and began to suspect Xu Ruiling.

Shang Wu's heart sank as he realized that it was the reason the stands had collapsed, or that all the students from District 7 had to go through this.

Either way, the situation is worse than imagined.

"Senior? Senior? Brother Shang? Are you angry?" Xu Ruiling called out a few times before cautiously asking.

"No."

Shangwu snapped out of his daze and smiled: "Why would I be angry? But this investigator from Ward 11, is he a man?"

"Hmm...I don't know." Xu Ruiling asked playfully, "What's wrong? Are you jealous?"

"Jealous? How could I be jealous?"

"That won't do! You'll be jealous. What if it really is a male student?" Xu Ruiling said, dissatisfied.

"That won't do. There's no reason for someone to be jealous of themselves."

"Why not...wait?" Xu Ruiling was taken aback, then her face lit up with joy: "Brother Shang, it's you!"

Shangwu nodded: "Surprised?"

"That's great!" Xu Ruiling hugged Shang Wu's arm. "We can go on a company-funded trip now!"

"What are you thinking about?" Shangwu said speechlessly, "This is a mission."

"That's just the two of us!"

Xu Ruiling drew out her words, and her eyes even became...

Shangwu blushed.

"Ahem, behave yourself, this is a mission."

"Okay, okay," Xu Ruiling said, muttering to herself, "What a hypocrite."

“I heard…”

Seeing that things were not going well, Xu Ruiling took off running: "I'll go tell Sister Ye first, see you tomorrow!"

Shangwu said helplessly, "What do you mean by 'see you tomorrow'? I still have to come back for dinner tonight."

Once she was out of sight, Shangwu's smile gradually faded, and his eyes were filled with worry.

"Sigh...we need to prepare for the worst."

Peaceful and stable days always seem to pass quickly, because you only look back when you reach the end.

Shangwu stood there pondering for a long time, then started browsing the latest news and online information from District 11. He roughly understood the situation there and realized the seriousness of the problem.

The 11th district is now just an old wooden house, which was once dilapidated due to the worship of martial arts.

Now the trend has changed, and it has been renovated, becoming clean and luxurious.

But that still couldn't hide the fact that the wooden house had already been eaten away by termites.

"The situation is a bit bad, but it's not unsolvable."

Shang Wu squinted. As the man who had once received a second glance from Qin Sheng, he was refining his plan.

As evening approached, Shang Wu rubbed his temples. He was now only 80% confident that Xu Ruiling would be safe, and the remaining 20% ​​depended on the situation in District 11.

This should basically help Xu Ruiling get through this test.

Once there is one, there will be two.

The key lies in the fundamental reason of creation education.

"Ye Bufan..."

The longer Shang Wu spent with Ye Bufan, the more he could sense the other's special nature.

There's always this illusion that everyone is paving the way for him.

Shaking his head, he thought, "This isn't The Truman Show; it can't be that absurd."

However, the members of the Disaster Relief Squad are all very talented, and perhaps one day they will be able to eliminate the Creation Cult and completely remove the threat.

"Speaking of which, we should tell them, since this isn't a mission for the Disaster Relief Squad."

Shang Wu got up. Most of the students should be in the cafeteria at this time, but he didn't go there. Instead, he went to the training ground.

That's the "canteen" for the disaster-slaying squad.

Sure enough, as soon as I arrived, I saw two people fighting on the stage, their weapons gleaming coldly, clearly a real fight.

"Dinner's ready, take a rest."

Shangwu interrupted, carrying a boxed lunch.
