This time I chose Paladin.

Chapter 140 Heading to Chaoyi District

If Yi Jian and Han Jiangxue were normal people, they would probably ask, "Then how do we contact each other?" or complain, "Your line is too childish." But unfortunately... no, it's not a pity, of the three people here, Nie Weiyang is probably the most normal one...

"That's right!!!" Yi Jian's eyes lit up. "People with great power gather together to help those who can't fight on their own! That's how it should be... No! It has to be this way!"

The level of excitement even surprised Nie Weiyang. Han Jiangxue, who had been looking blankly, suddenly raised her eyes and looked at him.

"Who does this organization obey? In other words, are we an official organization?" Yi Jian asked.

"No, we are a non-governmental organization," Nie Weiyang replied, "but we will enjoy some... benefits."

This was one of the results of his previous discussion with Liang Zhenduan and others: the organization that Nie Weiyang is about to establish, this organization that currently has no name, will not become an 'official organization'.

It will always be a non-governmental organization, and it will be elitist, with fewer people but stronger capabilities and more work. The support that the government can give them will be in the name of welfare, rather than in the name of wages, resource transfer, etc.

Even Nie Weiyang is not planning to establish a "headquarters" for it now.

Everyone has a backpack and each person brings a tent. When you meet, you can just find a ravine to set up camp. When you leave, you can take your equipment and garbage with you. It won’t be exposed or fixed. Isn’t it wonderful?

In this world of great conflict, the existence of a nest is destined to be plundered by others. It is better to just let it not exist. This is the noble and unchosen...

"That's even better!" Yi Jian's eyebrows danced with joy. He hadn't considered such a deep level at all. His mind was only full of considerations before taking action: "When an official organization does something, there will be some restrictions on its actions!"

"Cough cough." Liang Zhenduan, who was passing by, coughed dryly and led everyone out of the meeting room as if he had suddenly become hard of hearing. He even tore off a few pages of written paper from the notebook and took them away. The notebook and ballpoint pen were taken away by two agricultural scholars... Obviously, everyone gained a lot from this meeting.

"Our most important responsibility is actually to take risks and challenge difficulties." Nie Weiyang said seriously, "We will go deep into the most dangerous places..."

Yi Jian's eyes lit up and his expression was solemn.

Han Jiangxue raised his head.

"Fight the most terrifying enemy..."

Yi Jian clenched his fists.

Han Jiangxue stood up straight.

"...and only slightly eliminate some of the more dangerous targets, such as overly powerful bosses, cultists, or professionals who pose a threat to the public."

This time, before Yi Jian could react, Han Jiangxue suddenly asked, "Can you dig up the roots?"

The question was a bit of a leap, and sounded like some kind of nonsense. But Nie Weiyang was slightly stunned, and then he understood what she meant: she was asking, can the other people around these villains be killed?
"It depends," Nie Weiyang said. "Human nature is very complex, so the situation is also very complex."

Han Jiangxue wilted again, her snow-white medium-length hair seemed to have lost its luster, and she looked very sleepy.

She was obviously of some dark creature descent, but apart from her white hair, her appearance looked normal, and her eyes were a normal dark brown. At first glance, she looked as if she were only black and white.

"So," Yi Jian finally asked the question, "How should we contact each other?"

"If you choose to join," Nie Weiyang said, "that's the fourth member's business. Before we find him, we can't split up for now, lest we lose contact."

"A fourth member?" Yi Jian became interested. "Would you mind letting us know your plans for the team's roster?" Nie Weiyang shook his head slightly, then casually pulled out a piece of paper and wrote four words:

Walls have ears

Han Jiangxue suddenly looked up and rubbed her cold hands, a hint of blood appearing on her purple fingertips.

Yi Jian widened his eyes and immediately became excited. He mouthed to Nie Weiyang: Where?
Nie Weiyang shook his head slightly. He didn't know where the eavesdropper was yet. The other party's location was definitely beyond his sight.

"We should deal with other problems first," he said. "As for this one, leave it alone. I'll tell you soon."

What a joke! Even passing dogs are judged by [Good and Evil Discrimination]. After he walks around the city twice, the target population will be significantly reduced... If the enemy knows about this skill and leaves the city to avoid it, that would be even better—the target population is greatly reduced, and the target has voluntarily left the officially heavily guarded area. Isn't that even more convenient?
What's more, Liang Zhenduan must have already notified the other two people who can withstand this skill and took them to search for targets nearby.

Nie Weiyang told him that this person had a strong connection to the Return Sect, so the two people searching for the target were likely accompanied by some religious professionals...

Today, the person who stole the information is probably in trouble.

"Let's go to Chaoyi District first." Nie Weiyang waved and turned to walk out first. "Let's go see what's going on in Chaoyi District and see what your combat capabilities are. Introduce yourself, and we'll talk about it after we start."

Not far away, the few men Liang Zhenduan had left behind immediately turned to report Nie Weiyang's movements. Soon, two individuals patrolling the city, flanked by soldiers, began moving in a direction Nie Weiyang hadn't gone. Beside them, numerous Taoists and monks followed silently, cautiously observing the aura lingering throughout the city.

……

The Soul-Lost Puppet Master is a relatively easy target to kill, but his real body is probably not in the city, so we need to deploy manpower to search the surrounding areas and try to alert him.

As for what is currently happening in Chaoyi District... the situation is not very serious.

This place is now surrounded by the army and the surrounding ground has been completely cleared. Even if a rat runs out, it will be killed immediately as long as it is not registered.

Nie Weiyang led Yi Jian and Han Jiangxue through the blockade. He felt a familiar look on the two soldiers guarding the line. Thinking carefully, he suddenly remembered that they were one of the two soldiers he had met on the road when he first arrived in Gushi. They were smiling at him, and Nie Weiyang smiled back.

"Do you... know a lot of people?" Yi Jian asked in a low voice.

"Not many." Nie Weiyang said, "Most people know me."

These words were calm yet tinged with arrogance. Yi Jian choked for a moment, thinking, "That's right. Since four months ago, your name has been a name that everyone in the world knows..."

"You can address me by my name, or however you like," Nie Weiyang said, looking up at the block ahead. "I don't really like honorifics. It might seem a little strange, but I really don't like them."

It was afternoon now, and the sun was cool and quiet.

Yi Jian and Han Jiangxue took a deep breath and smelled a faint stench of decay and blood. It was an old letter brought by the wind - many lives had disappeared here, and at some point, the life they had just built was once again destroyed.

In Nie Weiyang's perception, the people around him had various attitudes towards him. The soldiers were mostly kind, Yi Jian was always kind, and Han Jiangxue's emotions were not obvious, but he also tended to be kind...

Beyond this, everything in Chaoyi District is filled with malice, hostility, darkness and danger like needles.
