Ascension to the Gods

Chapter 3: The Wind Blows Through

"Commission completed."

"The black market has passed the review and the loan has been released."

"Payment received successfully: 130 Alliance Coins."

"Your balance: 139 Alliance Coins."

The ID device flashed faintly and made a beeping sound.

It brought Jiang Jian back to his senses.

A new communication came from the corner of the screen.

Jiang Jian swiped his finger across and opened the message.

The man's voice came out.

"Master, I'm so sorry."

"We just wasted a lot of time dealing with the patrol team."

"So I'm a little late in sending you the money."

Jiang Jian stared at the screen, his eyes thoughtful.

"The ID device is attached to the wrist. If a citizen dies in the area, the patrol team will know immediately."

"But Miaomiao and her stepmother died suddenly one after another, and the patrol team only showed up today."

"This client has a strong background."

The thought flashed through his mind, and Jiang Jian did not reply to the call.

Instead, just delete it and move it to the spam folder.

The commission has been completed.

Whether it is a domestic murder or an evil spirit harming people.

It has nothing to do with Jiang Jian.

"Jiang Jian, I'm back."

Came my sister's voice.

He shook the ID device, the screen disappeared, and Jiang Jian walked out of the bedroom.

Jiang Zhao carried two lunch boxes and placed them on the table: "Your favorite double pepper chicken noodles."

When the lid of the box is opened, the spicy, numb and fragrant hot air rushes into your mouth and nose.

The girl set the bowls of noodles, looked up and smiled, "The last two portions only cost 4 Alliance Coins!"

"Uncle Wang takes the best care of you."

Jiang Jian washed his hands and sat down next to her. "Let me buy it. It's a solid 6 Alliance Coins, not a penny less."

Jiang Zhao picked up the chopsticks, his fingers as slender and white as scallions, and said, "Because I'm pretty."

Jiang Jian curled the corners of his mouth and picked up the bowl to eat noodles.

"correct."

The girl took out two medicine boxes and placed them in front of Jiang Jianmian. "I bought you some medicine, enough for fifteen days."

Jiang Jian paused with his chopsticks.

Look up.

He met Jiang Zhao's smiling yet serious eyes.

"I see."

Jiang Jian put away the medicine box.

More than ten minutes later.

Jiang Jian put down the bowl, glanced at the ID device, and said, "I have to rush back to Guangling No. 10 Middle School before o'clock."

Jiang Zhao was holding his watch and muttering to his roommate.

Hearing this, he closed the chat box and turned around: "Remember to take your medicine."

Jiang Jian nodded, packed his schoolbag, and asked, "Aren't you going back to Chencang No. 1 Middle School?"

Jiang Zhao blinked and whispered, "Let's go back tomorrow morning and save a day's accommodation money."

"As you wish."

Jiang Jian knew her temper, so he brought up the ID screen and clicked the taxi call button.

"The great divine examination is approaching. Please read my notes carefully. I am short of money to send a newsletter."

Jiang Zhao shook his head: "I have 35 Alliance Coins, which is enough for now. Go quickly."

A mechanical voice came.

"The taxi service has been activated and is expected to arrive in 1 minute."

Jiang Jian tied the wooden sword with black cloth and went downstairs with his schoolbag on his back.

There is a hover car parked at the entrance of Public Maintenance District 7.

"Guangling No. 1 Middle School."

Jiang Jian got into the car and swiped his hand across the payment panel.

"Payment successful: 1 Alliance Coin."

"Your balance: 138 Alliance Coins."

Sweep away payment message.

Jiang Jian put on his headphones, turned on the screen, opened the pre-exam course posted by Teacher Zhou, and started studying.

There are only fifteen days left before the God-given test.

Jiang Jian spent all his free time on reviewing, not wasting a single minute.

Half an hour later.

"Here is the place."

A hoarse voice came.

Jiang Jian was shocked and looked away from the screen.

He raised his eyelids and looked towards the cockpit.

I felt a strong sense of alarm in my heart.

The driver had black hair draped over his shoulders and was not wearing a helmet.

The glass separating the cockpit and the passenger cabin had disappeared at some point.

It was dark.

Outside the hovercraft, there was endless deep darkness.

The suffocating feeling is heart-pounding.

"In the shadows there is no day or night, only false day."

"This is where……"

Jiang Jian stretched out his hand and grasped the hilt of the sword wrapped in black cloth.

The driver turned his head sharply, his empty eye sockets dripping with blood: "This is your grave!"

boom!
The sword shines like lightning!

Jiang Jianmian had no expression on his face, and slashed fiercely with the wooden sword!
Boo!

The translucent sword energy pierced through the ghost face and shattered it into smoke!
A sharp scream sounded!

"This is impossible!"

The driver was shaking like crazy, his face billowing with black smoke, his words filled with venom and horror, "How could an ordinary person without divine blessing actually hurt me!?"

Jiang saw a sneer on his face and gently applied force to the wooden sword.

The driver was so frightened that he yelled, "Have mercy!"

Jiang Jian sneered and said, "You are not from Guangling City."

The driver was stunned.

Jiang Jian asked: "Why did you come to kill me?"

The driver's face twisted and he was speechless.

The wooden sword surged with air, directly cutting off half of the driver's head!
"I say!" The driver tilted his head, trembling all over, and fell to his knees. "It's a man in a suit!"

"He found me in the black market and promised me a reward of 10,000 Alliance Coins!"

At this point, the driver raised the remaining hole and said, "This amount of money is enough to make people take such a risk!"

Money can make the world go round.

It can even make ghosts kill people.

Jiang Jian smiled and said, "Very good, the video is complete and the evidence is conclusive."

I looked at the ID card and saw that the patrol team was on the way.

Jiang Jian's mood became better and better.

The laws in the Divine Illumination Zone are extremely strict and cannot be compared to those in the Shadow Zone.

Regardless of whether it was the Zhao family's intention or the man in the suit acted on his own initiative.

The Zhao family has been dragged into this.

"A marriage contract, only sold for 500,000 Alliance coins, is still a little too little."

Jiang Jian looked up at the dark sky.

Several bright beams of light pierced through the darkness and rushed towards here quickly.

Boom!
A fully armed security vehicle arrived first and landed heavily on the ground.

"Who just reported the vicious incident?"

A patrolman jumped out of the car, looked at Jiang Jian and the driver, and asked in a deep voice.

The driver nodded in silence.

Jiang Jian retracted the wooden sword and took out the identification device: "I have evidence."

The patrolman glanced at Jiang Jian and strode forward.

With a swipe of your ID, the video is instantly transmitted.

Security vehicles landed one after another, and the patrolmen gathered around to watch the video.

Jiang Jian turned around from the driver's seat and started recording, and the footage was very clear.

After watching the video, the patrol officer walked up to the driver and said with disgust, "Take out your ID device."

The driver trembled, black smoke surged, and a translucent watch was revealed.

"Ninghai City, informal citizens, this kind of bastard should have died long ago."

The patrol officer gave a look of astonishment and spat.

"It's bad enough that you're hiding in the sewers, but you actually dared to assassinate Earth citizens. Who gave you the guts?"

The driver knelt on the ground and nodded repeatedly.

In 2785, a god was born on Neptune.

The divine light permeates the sun and illuminates all things through the medium of starlight.

Gradually, demons and ghosts appeared on the surfaces of many planets.

The laws of other planets may be different.

But on Earth, only humans are official citizens.

The Earth Alliance is bathed in divine grace, encompassing everything and allowing all living things to exist.

As long as they do not harm others, they can apply to become informal citizens under harsh conditions, obtain identity devices, and live in the shadow areas of every city.

"Jiang Jian, you are a student at Guangling No. 1 Middle School, right?"

The patrol officer walked up to Jiang Jian and asked in a gentle tone, "What's going on with the man in the suit?"

Jiang Jian smiled and said, "I only know that he is from the Zhao family."

The patrol officer immediately became serious and asked, "Which Zhao family?"

Jiang Jian said, "Guangling City, Shenzhao District, the Zhao family that controls the formation business."

The patrol officer was stunned.

He turned his head and exchanged glances with the person next to him, then looked at Jiang Jian, his tone excited: "Do you have any evidence?"

Jiang Jian raised his hand and held up his ID device: "The video of the negotiation between the man in the suit and me, as well as the divine certificate contract between Zhao Jianxue and me, are all here."

"This is great!"

After looking at the evidence, the inspector was so ecstatic that he almost shouted out "I'm rich!"
The next moment, he spoke to Jiang Jian in a more friendly manner. "Classmate, you can call me Captain Wang. Come with us back to the Inspection Office. I will apply for a subpoena and seek justice for you!"

Several patrol officers, with flushed faces, gathered around Captain Wang, whispering to each other, all eager to take action.

At this time.

A patrolman wearing a shadow zone armband walked up to Captain Wang, somewhat unsure, and asked in a low voice, "Jiang Jian is a resident of the shadow zone. According to common sense, this case should be given to me..."

boom!
The next second, the patrolman flew backwards more than ten meters and crashed heavily into the hard armored vehicle!
He lay on the ground like a dead dog, spitting out blood, breathing but not in, and I don't know how many ribs he had broken!

"Get out of here!"

Captain Wang retracted his fist, his face cold.

The other patrol officers in the Shenzhao District also had sneers on their faces.

"Student Jiang Jian, don't be afraid."

Captain Wang walked up to Jiang Jian and forced a smile. "Guangling City has strict law and order. Now such a heinous case of hired murder has occurred. It is truly unforgivable!"

"The captain is right, we will definitely help you get justice!"

"The Inspectorate is upright and will never tolerate any evil!"

"Please rest assured, students. This murder case will definitely be solved!"

Many patrols spoke one after another, filled with righteous indignation!

There was also a young patrol officer who stood shoulder to shoulder with Jiang Jian, saying righteously, "Don't be afraid, little brother! I was once a student of Guangling No. 1 Middle School! So what about the Zhao family!"

"God is above, justice is clear!"

"I swear to bring the real culprit to justice, or I will resign on the spot!"

Jiang Jian watched his hard work, his heart as calm as water, but his face showed emotion: "Senior, you are so brave!"

The young patrolman winked and replied, "You are so lucky, my junior brother!"

Jiang Jian was puzzled: "What do you mean?"

The young patrol officer put his arm around Jiang Jian's shoulders and lowered his voice, "I heard that Zhao Jianxue from the Zhao family is so beautiful that she can shame flowers and the moon."

"My junior and she have a divinely-signed contract. Once they turn 18, they'll automatically become legally married. Isn't that a blessing?"

Jiang Jian smiled and said nothing.

"Jiang Jian, my name is Zhou Chi. I'm two years ahead of you and I also climbed up from the shadow area."

The young patrol officer put his arm around Jiang Jian, stepped onto the armored vehicle, and shut the heavy door tightly. He spoke sincerely, "Actually, the patrol office in Shenzhao District hasn't been able to pay out bonuses for three months."

Jiang Jian looked surprised and asked, "Has it come to this?"

Zhou Chi snorted coldly: "The laws in Shenzhao District are very strict, and almost no one breaks the law. Where does the bonus come from?"

At this point, his face darkened. "If I had known this would happen, I would have stayed in the Shadow District Patrol. Even though I was living a life of dependence, at least I could make some money."

Jiang Jian wrapped the wooden sword with black cloth and listened quietly.

Zhou Chi knew Jiang Jian was just a student, so he didn't expect him to continue the conversation. His eyes fell on the wooden sword: "This wooden sword looks good. Is it something to ward off evil spirits?"

Jiang Jian raised his head and said with a smile: "Senior, you have a good eye. This sword is a family heirloom. It is the most effective against spirits and monsters."

Zhou Chi disagreed, saying, "Going back hundreds of years, whose ancestors haven't had a Level 3 Divine Gift? My family has a long sword passed down from generation to generation. It was given to my great-grandfather by the gods, and it's a genuine 'weapon'!"

Jiang Jian's tone was surprised: "It turned out to be a 'soldier' ​​from the level 3 God's Gift!"

Zhou Chi's face lit up with satisfaction: "Of course! Even in today's Guangling City, he would be considered a genius of his generation! Your wooden sword is far inferior to my great-grandfather's long sword!"

In a place invisible to ordinary people, the wooden sword trembled slightly.

Jiang Jian lowered his eyelids, stroked the hilt of the sword, and smiled with the corners of his lips raised.

The next second, he looked up, his tone filled with admiration, and asked, "Senior, I wonder what level of cultivation your ancestor once reached, so that I can serve as a role model."

"This……"

Zhou Chi looked a little unnatural.

"Although my great grandfather was blessed by the gods, his mind was indifferent and he had no intention of killing. Therefore, he neglected his cultivation and only remained at the realm bestowed by the gods."
