After reading the information of various ruin soldiers, Xu Shen flipped through other files, and not long after, he found a top-secret document that recorded the promotion to the third form.

The book on the cover is scribbled with little content:

"The third state is also called the royal state.

Able to step into the depths of the Ruins and swim in the third layer of the deep sea.

All kings need to cut off the ruin thoughts, break the extreme ruin state, and completely complete the feather transformation in order to be reborn in Nirvana and return to the king's landing. ”

What does feathering metamorphosis mean? Xu Shen looked at Xuan Ao's description, a little incomprehensible, the extreme ruin state mentioned in it, he had seen the information of the ruin soldiers, was the limit state of the second form, which was similar to the critical state of the initial state.

Reaching this state is the ultimate of the second form.

Breaking this state is a breakthrough, but there is no mention of how to break it.

Xu Shen flipped through the pages, but couldn't find an explanation, so he continued to rummage through other files.

After a long time, after looking around, Xu Shen found that there were very few records of breaking through the third form.

"The leaders of the Light Chaser Society are all second forms, and the next pursuit is the king, so it stands to reason that there should be a lot of information about this, could it be that this has only been collected in total?"

Xu Shen thought about it for a while, and felt that maybe it would be better to ask the Wood King directly.

At the end of the previous meeting, before leaving, their leaders added communication with each other to facilitate communication.

Xu Shen immediately came to a corner of the archive room and contacted Mu Wang.

Not long after the call, Mu Wang connected: "Xu Shen? ”

"Great Chief, isn't there a record in the archives of our guild on how to advance to the third form?" Xu Shen asked straight to the point.

"You're too anxious......"

King Mu suddenly smiled and said: "If you want to become a king, you have to depend on your fate, not everyone has the destiny to become a king!" ”

"Fate?" Xu Shen raised his eyebrows.

"Don't disbelieve in fate." The Wood King's voice was gentle, and he said, "If the promotion of the initial state is the heart charge to break the limit of life and death, then the second form to the king is to transcend the state of life and death." ”

"It's like a hero and a leader."

"There is only one leader, but heroes can be molded many by manpower."

Mu Wang said: "After some statistics, the success rate of breaking the initial state of life and death is a few tenths, but the probability of breaking the extreme ruin state and being reborn is only one percent!" ”

"Generally speaking, I don't recommend that the leader of our guild go to the third form, because this is fate, the probability is too small, and it is basically no different from sending him to death."

"With your current strength and status, you are enough to enjoy a good life, money, power, women!"

"As long as you don't go to the inner city, you can make more friends in the bottom city, which is enough to call the wind and rain!"

Xu Shen raised his eyebrows, and said so much, it was nothing more than saying that the third form was difficult, but he still didn't say how to break through the third state.

"Why is the probability so low, and how to break through?" Xu Shen asked.

Mu Wang sighed: "The specific process, I don't know very well, I just remember that it seems to be a complete death, and after a complete death, if you can still come back to life, you can break through." ”

"Completely dead?"

Xu Shen was stunned.

After dying completely, can you still be resurrected? There seems to be something wrong with that.

"Let's talk about it when you reach the extreme ruin state, if you have the chance, I can take you to meet Her Royal Highness the Queen Ant, she is the king of our bottom city, and she should give you the answer you want, but forget it now, you don't even have the extreme ruin state, so as not to be thought by others to be so ......ambitious," the wood king said.

"Well, thank you, Grand Chief." Xu Shen could only thank him and ended the communication.

Indeed, he is a little too eager to pursue the third state now.

Polar ruin state...... This is a state in which the whole body is full of strength and has reached the limit of endurance.

Xu Shen has been injecting the devastation purifier every day since he stepped into the second form, but the body's absorption is like a bottomless pit, and it is still too far from saturation.

It seems that stepping into the state of a king is more difficult than life and death...... It's no wonder that the entire underground city seems to be a queen king.

But in the aura space, there are actually four known kings...... Xu Shen suddenly felt that the aura space was like a gathering place for the big guys, and it seemed that he would have to bubble in it more in the future, looking for opportunities to learn some upper-level information.

Coming out of the archives, Xu Shen saw that it was already dark outside.

He thought of Mo Xiaoxiao's previous communication, and immediately walked out of the Light Chasing Club, made a communication to Mo Xiaoxiao in the car, and learned that she was now in Building 17 of the Ruins Secret Bureau, and immediately drove back.

Soon, the vehicle stopped in front of Building 17.

Xu Shen got out of the car and walked in, and saw Xiao Min, a short-haired girl in charge of entertaining in the hall on the first floor.

"Team Xu?"

Xiao Min's eyes lit up when she saw Xu Shen, and she screamed in surprise.

She knew from other colleagues and girlfriends that Xu Shengao, who came out of the 17th team, was promoted and transferred to the 2nd team, not to mention, this time she did a big thing for the bureau, and I heard that she was about to become the captain of the 1st team, which can be described as a step to the sky.

"Haven't left work yet?" Xu Shen smiled and said hello.

Xiao Min smiled and said, "Team Mo is still there, are you here to find Team Mo?" ”

"Hmm."

Xiao Min immediately ran out from behind the counter and helped Xu Shen press the elevator: "Team Mo is on the 2nd floor, Team Xu, are you thirsty, this is red date tea." ”

"Hmm, thank you." Xu Shen took it.

When the elevator came down, Xu Shen shook his hand and went upstairs.

When he came to the second floor, Xu Shen saw Mo Xiaoxiao waiting in the rest area on the second floor, in addition to her, there were also Su Shuang and two other young people.

"Xu Shen!"

Hearing the movement of the elevator, Mo Xiaoxiao knew that it should be Xu Shen coming, so he got up and trotted over in surprise.

Xu Shen smiled: "You are the captain, and you are still so unstable." ”

"Come less, you've only been away for a few days, and you're actually old-fashioned!" Mo Xiao rolled his eyes in a puff.

Xu Shen handed over the jujube tea in his hand: "If you like to drink, Xiao Min has prepared a cup for you." ”

"Xiaomin, that girl is quite sensible." Mo Xiaoxiao was not polite, he took it with a copy of his palm, and immediately looked Xu Shen up and down, and said, "How about it, isn't the ruin cave thorn exciting?" ”

Obviously, seeing Xu Shen return safely, there is nothing to worry about, but he is in the mood to joke.

"It's exciting." Xu Shen smiled.

For Mo Qinghao and them, it should be quite exciting...

"It's fine if you're okay." Su Shuang walked over with a smile on her face, different from Mo Xiaoxiao's slightly arrogant personality, she looked more gentle and ladylike.

"I'm worried about you, I'm fine." Xu Shen smiled.

Mo Xiaoxiao took a sip of red jujube tea, and immediately put on a serious expression, and said: "I heard that the guy led by the Mo family was wiped out, and when you withdrew, you were almost embarrassed by the Mo family, and the queen ant came forward?" ”

Xu Shen couldn't help but glance at her, aren't you from the Mo family?

How to mention the Mo family, it seems so rusty.

"You're well-informed." Xu Shen chuckled.

Mo Xiaoxiao snorted lightly: "It's not that I went to ask the old man Liu, he still wants to hide it from me." ”

"How can Liu Ju be so old." Xu Shen was a little helpless, Director Liu Jichuan looked like he was only about forty or fifty, how could he become an old man Liu.

"Don't mention him." Mo Xiaoxiao pulled Xu Shen to the rest area and sat down, looked at the two young men standing next to him who were quite restrained, and said, "Why are you still stunned, go pour water, and snacks, yes, I bought them a few days ago, bring them all." ”

"I don't snackle." Xu Shen smiled bitterly and hurriedly waved his hand to the two.

"It's delicious." Mo Xiaoxiao said.

Xu Shen was a little helpless, and said: "I'm here to tell you, I'm fine, by the way, take a look at your situation, I will be relieved that the two of you are okay." ”

"What can we do, at most let our second echelon solve the C-level incident in the bureau, and they don't need to go out, a C-level ruin, I can kill it myself." Mo Xiao said proudly.

"Don't be careless, what if the information goes wrong." Xu Shen knew that she was full of confidence on purpose, because she didn't want to worry about herself, and she was not arrogant, so she said it seriously.

"I'll be measured." Mo Xiaoxiao also responded with a slightly serious expression, and then said with a smile: "I haven't asked you yet, the unlucky guy of the Mo family who died in the ruins, do you know what his name is, or what other people in the Mo family call him?" ”

"Call him Mo Qiye."

Xu Shen came here to find Mo Xiaoxiao for another thing, that is, he wanted to understand the situation of the Mo family, after all, he was offended now, although the Mo family didn't know who killed Mo Qinghao, but for such a potential enemy, it was good to know more.

"It turned out to be that guy."

Mo Xiaoxiao was slightly stunned, then patted his little hand and said with a smile: "It's good to die!" ”

Xu Shen asked knowingly, "Are you familiar with him?" ”

"Your snacks." The young man next to him handed over a packet of biscuits.

"Thank you." Xu Shen was interrupted, took the biscuit, and then continued to look at Mo Xiaoxiao.

"Okay." Mo Xiaoxiao glanced at the young man and realized that it was not appropriate to talk too deeply about the Mo family's affairs here, so he only said: "I'll tell you when I get back, do you know how he died, did he die a miserable death?" ”

I know, but I can't say...... Xu Shen thought of Mo Qinghao's body being chopped into pieces, it seemed, it should, indeed be called miserable.

"I don't know, I should be stumped by the ancient corpse." Xu Shen said.

"Hmph, if he doesn't come back anyway, he will definitely die inside, and Grandpa Taiyuan won't go to rescue him......" Mo Xiaoxiao snorted lightly.

"Huh?"

"It's nothing, it's a wicked person anyway, have you ever seen the queen ant, I heard that the queen ant is a very beautiful king, and there have been other kings who have pursued her." Mo Xiaoxiao said with great interest.

Hello gossip...... Xu Shen was a little speechless, "I haven't seen it, she is wearing a mask." ”

"That's a shame." Mo Xiaoxiao looked regretful.

Xu Shen rolled his eyes, I don't feel sorry for me, what are you lamenting?

"I heard that you are about to be transferred to Team 1 as the captain, how about it, you are short of team members, tell Liu Ju that you need me, how about letting me be your deputy?" Mo Xiaoxiao turned the topic, and looked at Xu Shen with bright eyes.

The two young men holding snacks next to them were stunned, looking at the boy in front of him who seemed to be a few years younger than them, although he knew that the other party was a former member of the 17th team, but he didn't expect that he was about to become the captain of the 1st team.

This is the undisputed first person position in the game!

Su Shuang looked at Xu Shen with envy and said, "I'm too young, but it's a pity that my strength is too weak to help you." ”

"Didn't you stay well in this 17th team?" Xu Shen said: "And it's safer. ”

"But it's boring." Mo Xiaoxiao's expression was helpless, and he said distressedly: "I obviously told them, there are a lot of ruins, you see, there are ruins on their shoulders now, they don't understand, and they are also reminded when they are fighting, they still don't listen, and I, the captain, are not bored, so I can only do my own work." ”

That's probably your problem...... Xu Shen looked at the two aggrieved young men next to him, and felt some sympathy, it was indeed a kind of mental torture to meet such a startled captain.

However, it's no wonder that Mo Xiaoxiao, her own ability is leaked, and the world she sees in her eyes is different from ordinary people, Xu Shen can understand it better.

"Let's talk about it." Xu Shen didn't refuse, if Mo Xiaoxiao was transferred to Team 1, he would be by his side to take care of him, and with his current strength, he was already qualified to say that he could shelter others.

"You must tell Old Man Liu about it." Mo Xiao pouted.

Xu Shen looked at Su Shuang and said, "You are gone, who will take care of Sister Su?" ”

"I'm retiring." Su Shuang's eyes were smiling, there seemed to be some kind of tenderness in it, but this gentleness was staring at time, and she seemed to see something in it that softened her heart.

"Retirement?"

Xu Shen was stunned.

"That's right, I'm almost saving up enough." Su Shuang said softly.

Mo Xiaoxiao glanced at her, snorted lightly, and said, "But the cost is too great." ”

Su Shuang's face changed slightly, her smile was a little reluctant, she took a deep breath, and said: "But with my potential, it is not easy to survive, and many second-echelon team members have not survived until retirement in the end." ”

Xu Shen suddenly thought of some pictures, he sighed in his heart, knowing that everyone has their own way, he was powerless in the past, and now although he has the ability to help, the other party has already gone ashore.

"What are you going to do when you retire?" Xu Shen asked.

Su Shuang had a certain light in her eyes, and said, "I plan to go to the inner city, and when the time comes, Team Zhou's daughter may have to be entrusted to you to take care of, and I can't take her with me." ”

"To the inner city?" Xu Shen frowned slightly.

"I want to get away from here, get away from the ruins, and start my life again." Su Shuang said with a smile, with a hopeful light in her eyes, very faint, but very shiny.

"But the inner city isn't necessarily good." Mo Xiaoxiao frowned.

Xu Shen thought of all the things on this trip, nodded slightly, and said: "Some things are only superficial, and they are almost the same in the depths. ”

Su Shuang saw that Xu Shen also said the same, her expression was a little hesitant, but in the end she shook her head and said, "I heard that the order over there is better and the law is more complete, as long as I keep to myself, it will be fine." ”

"That's true, but it's hard to keep to yourself." Mo Xiaoxiao shook his head.

Xu Shen glanced at her, and the other party was thrown here by the Mo family, obviously not for no reason.

"Have you really decided?"

"Hmm." Su Shuang nodded vigorously.

Seeing this, Xu Shen didn't persuade anymore, and being able to keep to himself and finish his life in peace can be regarded as the wish of many people.

After continuing to talk about the affairs of the bureau for a while, Xu Shen saw that the timing was not right today, so he did not ask Mo Xiaoxiao about the Mo family, and waited for a chance to talk about it later.

……

……

A few days later.

A memorial ceremony was held in the bureau.

Many people who cut ruins, except for those who were on a mission, came to the cemetery.

There are endless tombstones buried here, and everyone stands in front of the monuments of Ba Ye and the two members of the first team to mourn.

In addition to Liu Jichuan, other directors and section chiefs of the bureau were also present.

Xu Shen also saw the section chief Chen who had a holiday with him before, but his eyes didn't stay on him too much, as if the previous grievances had passed.

On the contrary, Chen Yong snorted coldly in his heart when he saw Xu Shen, he knew that Xu Shen was about to ascend, and he also knew that Xu Shen had broken through the first form and became the future ruin-slayer in the bureau.

He wasn't sure if Xu Shen would hold a grudge against the past, but he didn't have a good impression of Xu Shen, and secretly regretted that there was no Xu Shen in the list that he didn't come back this time.

When the mourning is over, in addition to the ordinary ruin-cutting personnel, these people in important positions will have a table with Xu Shen and other captains, as well as those who are about to be promoted to captains.

During the dinner, Liu Jichuan mentioned some important matters in the bureau, including the future development and the central idea of the secret bureau.

Other people with titles also pushed each other's cups and exchanged glasses, greeting each other.

Except for the opening remarks mentioning a few sacrificed ruin-slayers, the rest of it completely became a banquet, and it was more about talking about other things.

"Team Xu, don't come unharmed, the previous misunderstanding, Team Xu don't take it to heart." Section Chief Chen took the initiative to find Xu Shen and toasted with a smile on his face.

Xu Shen smiled and drank in return: "Section Chief Chen is polite, in the future, you will be working for the bureau, you are responsible for the internal service, and we are the main and external, each performing its own duties." ”

"Team Xu has a good amount of alcohol and a good mind, so let the previous offense be written off." Section Chief Chen drank with a smile, and under the prodding of others, he still chose to put down his body and take the initiative to reconcile.

By the way, it can be regarded as a test of Xu Shen's tone.

If Xu Shen is cold, it means that there is still mustard, and then we will find a way.

Although he is only a civilian, he is also a ruin-slayer, and it is naturally impossible to fight against Xu Shen, but there are many ways to kill people without relying on force in this world.

"Well, it's all over." Xu Shen responded with a smile.

Seeing Xu Shen choose to reconcile, Section Chief Chen smiled in his heart, feeling that Xu Shen was still interesting, and at the same time relieved, if Xu Shen really held a grudge, it would be quite troublesome for him, after all, it was the second form, if he really wanted to be an enemy, at most he would lose both, and he would not do any good.

The banquet ends.

And they all departed.

Next.

Xu Shen was called to the bureau by Liu Jichuan and gave him an official document appointment.

In addition to the captaincy of Team 1, Xu Shen also has a one-star Medal of Honor in Termite City.

According to Liu Jichuan, it was he who went to the queen ant to ask for him and give him compensation.

Although there is a relationship between the inner city behind the ruin secret bureau, but in the bottom city, it belongs to the orthodox forces under the jurisdiction of the queen ant, and the ruins are cut down by the ruins, which can be regarded as eliminating harm for the bottom city, establishing great achievements, and killing B-level ruins, you can get a one-star medal of honor.

Ordinary people may not know what a ruin is, but they all know the weight of the Medal of Honor.

Holding the Medal of Honor, Xu Shen felt a little hot, and in the face of Liu Jichuan's kind smile, he felt more and more difficult to say goodbye.
