Chapter 61: The Terrifying and Brutal Xue Yu, the Number One Executioner of the White Tower!
Zhou Siyan knew Xue Yu too well. One look at Xue Yu’s water-soaked eyes, and he knew what Feng Qizhou was doing.
But what could he do? Could he flip the table?
Besides enduring it, what else could he do? He had to save Xue Yu’s face.
The pastor’s chanting was particularly solemn in the black-toned church. Zhou Siyan observed his surroundings from the corner of his eye and wrote a note to Xue Yu.
Xue Yu opened the note with her lips tightly pursed. On it was written: Let’s switch seats.
Only then did Xue Yu discover a cruel truth. It turned out that the data from the head deacon’s test was true. She really was a big pervert—she actually didn’t want to switch seats at this moment.
After all this time, she had been wrong to hit Blueberry.
It turned out that Blueberry was just like her.
Xue Yu wrote a few words on the paper with difficulty: No need to switch. It’s too conspicuous.
Zhou Siyan took the note and made no further movements.
Xue Yu held a pen in one hand and propped her cheek with the other, pretending to be nonchalant.
Feng Qizhou was worthy of being the top doctor in the White Tower. His precise control over his hands was at its peak. He did not use too much force, nor did he show off with any fancy tricks. Instead, he was very gentle, as if he were giving a massage, silent and subtle.
Xue Yu rarely had such a slow and leisurely experience. In the past, it was always grand and open. Now, this superficial touch was endlessly interesting.
Feng Qizhou had indeed fully captured her attention. She no longer subconsciously looked around at the stunningly handsome members of the church.
Instead, she kept her head down, “fully focused” on the rulebook in front of her, as still as a clock.
For a full hour of chanting the rules, Xue Yu maintained this posture.
This earned her praise from the pastor:
“It is very commendable that Xue Yu can be so focused on her first time attending a meeting.”
“No matter what her previously measured values were, as long as she has the sincerity to join the conservatives, everyone should help her get rid of her previous personality.”
Applause rang out from below.
The moment the applause rose, Feng Qizhou also pulled his hand back, rhythmically clapping with everyone, and smiled at Xue Yu.
After the meeting, Xue Yu was not immediately implanted with a chip.
They had to wait for a month, until the church’s new generation of chips was produced, and then all new members would be implanted at the same time.
The head deacon said to Xue Yu, “Xue Yu, you have good potential. I’m still short of a deacon here. If you perform well, you can come and work by my side in the future.”
The management of the conservatives was dominated by women, and the members were mainly male.
Xue Yu was the second woman to join this year. It was very rare, and the head deacon had the intention of cultivating her.
“Thank you, Head Deacon. I will work hard.”
Xue Yu secretly broke into a cold sweat. If the head deacon knew that she had had so many babies with Zhou Siyan, Feng Qizhou, and Mo Li, she didn’t know how angry she would be.
Xue Yu walked very slowly, worried that there would be any water stains on her pants.
Zhou Siyan had been following behind her. Seeing through her thoughts, he said, “There’s nothing. Let’s go.”
Feng Qizhou walked to the side with one hand in his pocket, his peach blossom eyes rippling with water. “I have a sense of propriety. I can naturally handle the weight.”
Zhou Siyan’s expression was cold and arrogant as he walked away.
Xue Yu watched his retreating back from behind. His figure was straight and proper. The black, formal uniform perfectly wrapped his tall and slender body. His hair was all combed up and fixed with hair gel. He looked like a man with very high self-requirements.
Who could have imagined that such a man would have a child for her?
“What are you looking at?” Feng Qizhou said.
Xue Yu: “Feng Qizhou, you shouldn’t always mock Zhou Siyan in the future.”
“Are you taking his side?” Feng Qizhou frowned, displeased. “When he was being sarcastic to me, why didn’t you say anything?”
Xue Yu found that she really couldn’t handle these family matters. She put her hands behind her back and looked up at the sky. “The weather is really nice today.”
Feng Qizhou came up, a smile on his lips. “Do you think Zhou Siyan found out just now?”
Xue Yu pretended not to understand. “Found out what?”
Feng Qizhou’s face darkened. “What do you think he found out?”
Xue Yu: “What found out what? What are you talking about? I don’t understand.”
“Xue Yu, you’re not being honest. You’re not admitting it?” Feng Qizhou gritted his teeth and felt that something was wrong. “You don’t think it was Zhou Siyan who was serving you just now, do you?”
“Huh? Wasn’t it?” Xue Yu deliberately teased him.
Feng Qizhou’s face turned green. “Don’t go too far.”
“The technique was so good. I thought it was Zhou Siyan. Hahaha!” Xue Yu laughed loudly and quickly ran away.
Feng Qizhou stood in place, feeling a little sour in his heart. “What technique does that old-fashioned guy know?”
***
As soon as Xue Yu returned to the naval combat team, she took her captain application and the extreme sexual conservative’s member certificate to find Meng Wu and asked him to sign for her.
The moment Meng Wu saw Xue Yu’s member certificate, he was stunned for a few seconds, in disbelief. “You’ve joined the extreme sexual conservatives?”
“That’s right!”
Meng Wu: “Why?”
Xue Yu acted righteously. “Because I want to work hard, I want to get promoted, I want to be a person of status!”
“Speak human,” Meng Wu waved his hand.
Xue Yu: “That’s it. I can’t just be so decadent forever.”
Meng Wu asked again, “Who introduced you to the sect?”
Xue Yu: “Zhou Siyan.”
Meng Wu: “Are you planning on having a secret relationship in the conservatives?”
Xue Yu: “No, sir. We are revolutionary comrades now.”
Meng Wu didn’t ask any more questions. He signed the captain application that Xue Yu had brought, his thick eyelashes lowered. “Xue Yu, I’m a little disappointed.”
Xue Yu: “Why?”
Meng Wu was very frank. “My condition has improved a lot since I’ve been in contact with you these past few days.”
“Now that you’ve joined the conservatives, and I’m an open-minded person, we have to be careful about our interactions in the future, so I’m very disappointed.”
“Then why don’t you join the conservatives too?” Xue Yu sincerely invited. “I can be your sponsor.”
Meng Wu shook his head. “Forget it. I don’t like the atmosphere of the conservatives. It’s too oppressive.”
“Oppressive?”
Xue Yu didn’t think so. There were so many handsome guys and beautiful women in the conservatives. It was clearly a paradise!
After getting Meng Wu’s signature, Xue Yu went to the Affairs Department to find Yan Wantang and said that she wanted to apply to be a captain.
Yan Wantang shook her head. “Why do you always like to go to such hard places? You don’t want to be a proper sailor, but you have to be a mercenary. Now you’re also a part-time captain. Are you crazy?”
Being a captain was a hard job. Very few people were willing to do it. Everyone preferred to stay and work in the White Tower Safe Zone.
Xue Yu: “Because I want to contribute to the White Tower. I’ll do the things that no one wants to do. Only by enduring hardship can I improve!”
While she was entering her position, Yan Wantang said, “If enduring hardship could lead to improvement, you would have been on the same level as me long ago after mining for so long.”
Xue Yu successfully got her captain’s license.
Following Yan Wantang’s instructions, Xue Yu went to the side of the moat on the south side of the safe zone.
This was the widest part of the entire moat, with a width of over a hundred meters.
But the pier was very simple, with about ten rusty ships scattered on the water.
This was the crudest means of transportation Xue Yu had seen in all her years in the White Tower. It was clear how little the White Tower valued the water-type domain.
Currently, there were only five captains in the water transport business, all of whom were water-type soldiers.
Xue Yu’s addition made the few captains very excited. They all came over and asked her, “Who are you here to replace? Now that you’re here, can I be transferred back to the safe zone to work?”
Xue Yu told everyone sadly, “I’m not here to replace anyone. I’m here to be a new captain.”
A big sister asked again, “Did you make a mistake and get demoted here?”
Xue Yu: “No, I came voluntarily.”
The big sister shook her head and sighed. “What a loser!”
***
Xue Yu received a very simple on-the-job training at the pier and got her captain’s license.
Besides a captain, a ship also needed an engineer, sailors, and mechanics.
Xue Yu was the captain, and the work of the remaining engineer, sailors, and mechanics was all done by five robot dogs.
They were called robot dogs, but they didn’t look like dogs at all. Their mechanical appearance was more like a spider.
The five robot dogs came to Xue Yu and asked her to perform a fingerprint verification on them, making a clear metallic sound. “Hello, Captain Xue. We will be your escort from now on.”
Xue Yu touched the head of the leading robot dog. “Please take care of me.”
The robot dog: “I’m Little M. I’m not a real dog. Please don’t pet me like a dog, Captain.”
Xue Yu pulled her hand back. Water-type warriors were really looked down upon. Even a robot dog could give her an opinion.
Xue Yu boarded the ship. The ship was very large, forty meters long and ten meters wide. It had a single-deck design, a carrying capacity of 5,000 tons, and was suitable for inland river and near-sea transport.
She followed the instructions in the captain’s operation manual step by step.
Sailing was not complicated. These ships were all equipped with automatic navigation. As long as you set the destination, you could sleep.
The only problem was that you had to be careful of the water bandits and pirates along the way.
The first water transport mission Xue Yu received was in five days, to transport a batch of fine iron to the South Continent.
Xue Yu was tense all over, methodically and secretly carrying out her plan.
On the first day, she squatted at the pier to watch the loading, watching the crane constantly load iron plates onto the ship.
At the same time, she had made a deal with Yan Wantang that she would take on a mercenary mission in these two days.
Yan Wantang said, “Let’s take the mantis-man mission first. There are a total of thirty workers. Be clean.”
Xue Yu said, “Leave the job of cleaning up the bodies to me too. One-stop service.”
“I didn’t know you liked such bloody scenes so much.”
Yan Wantang pouted and agreed. She told Xue Yu how to deal with the bodies. Burning them or burying them was fine.
Xue Yu asked, “Can I just throw them all into the water to feed the fish?”
Yan Wantang placed her two hands on the table and raised an eyebrow:
“Whatever you want. The higher-ups don’t care about the process. They only care about the result. The result they want is that these good-for-nothings can’t return to the White Tower. The pressure on the White Tower is big enough.”
She seriously reminded Xue Yu, “Remember, if you don’t handle it well and these people reappear in the White Tower in the future, you will have to bear the consequences.”
“What are the consequences?” Xue Yu asked cautiously.
Yan Wantang: “The consequence is that you will have to kill these people again in front of the superiors, and then you will be sentenced.”
Xue Yu: “Is the sentence serious?”
Yan Wantang: “It depends on your strength. If you are still useful to the White Tower, then you will be sentenced to ordinary imprisonment. If you are useless, then you will be sentenced to death.”
Xue Yu saluted. “I understand, sir! I will definitely strive to be a useful person to the White Tower!”
“I hope so,” Yan Wantang smiled.
The first mission Xue Yu accepted was the mantis-man mission.
She had already carried out the mission to eliminate the ant-men once. This time, she didn’t need a comrade-in-arms. She could take the mission alone.
It was still in the mining district. It was clear that there were too many miners in the mining district. The higher-ups were trying to get rid of some of the miners to fully implement mechanized mining.
This kind of mission was too bloody after all, so the time was arranged at night.
Xue Yu put on her combat equipment, slung her submachine gun, and hung a bunch of grenades on her waist, and went to the mining district.
This was not the Fu’an iron mining district where she had worked before, but another place where manganese ore was mined.
To let Xue Yu carry out the mission smoothly, the Affairs Department had given an order to the mine manager early on to stop the night shift tonight and let the miners go back to their dorms to rest.
Only the group of so-called “mantis-men” were left in the mine.
Xue Yu drove a truck to the mining district. This truck was assigned to her by the Affairs Department to deal with the bodies.
When she reached the mine, the clothes of that group of “mantis-men” were not as formal as the ant-men’s last time. There were only some blade-like metal objects on the sleeves of their clothes, which looked like the arms of a mantis.
There were not many people this time, only thirty.
The higher-ups were probably also worried that killing too many at once would cause public anger.
The miners were still working. When they saw Xue Yu come in, they asked, “Which unit are you from? What are you doing here? Do you have a mission?”
Xue Yu said, “I’m here to deal with Abominations.”
“Are there Abominations here?” the miners were very confused.
Xue Yu did not communicate with them anymore. She put on her gas mask and threw in a sleeping gas bomb that Feng Qizhou had made for her.
Ten seconds later, everyone fainted and fell to the ground.
Xue Yu shot the wall with bullets and then sprinkled the miners with a self-made blood bag.
She took a picture with her watch and recorded her own voice. “Thirty mantis-men have been eliminated. Preparing to clean up the bodies. Mercenary Xue Yu reporting.”
She used the body bags she had brought to put these miners in one by one and carried them all out of the mine.
The mine manager outside was waiting for her. When he saw her come out, he asked, “Are these the bodies of the mantis-men?”
Xue Yu nodded. “Stay away. The mantis-men have an infectious factor. Be careful not to get infected.”
The mine manager held his nose and backed away.
Xue Yu put the mantis-man she was carrying into the back of the truck, came out, and locked the truck door. She said, “You just watch the truck here. Don’t get close to the carriage. Be careful of getting infected. I’ll continue to go back and carry the bodies.”
“Okay, okay.”
This time, Xue Yu simply carried two “bodies” at once. After more than ten trips, she was exhausted. She finally carried all the “bodies” out.
She then cleaned up the mine, took a picture with her watch, and recorded her own voice. “All the mantis-men’s bodies have been moved out of the mine. The mine has been cleaned up. Mercenary Xue Yu reporting.”
She carried the last mantis-man out and put it in the truck.
She took out the mission execution certificate and had the mine manager sign it, indicating that she had killed all the mantis-men in the mine.
Then she drove the truck to the pier and carried these “bodies” into the ship’s hold again.
The effect of these sleeping gas bombs could keep an ordinary person in a coma for three days without any side effects on the body.
There were only thirty miners now. Xue Yu felt that it was not enough.
It was not easy for her to go out to sea. She had to save at least a hundred people.
She had Zhou Siyan watch the unconscious miners on the ship while she quickly went to find Yan Wantang.
There were still many such killing-type mercenary missions, but considering the psychological tolerance of the mercenaries after killing people, the Affairs Department would schedule the missions apart, only releasing such a killing mission once a month.
Xue Yu talked to Yan Wantang and said that she was not satisfied with the killing last night and wanted to take on two more missions.
“Are you perverted?” Yan Wantang said, stroking the little mutt in her arms, a look of surprise on her face.
Xue Yu: “I really want to improve, sis. Please. And if I take the mission, can’t you also get a commission from it?”
Yan Wantang agreed and scheduled the subsequent missions for Xue Yu in advance.
This time, the mission was to kill twenty electricians. The Affairs Department was too lazy to disguise it anymore. The mission information card directly stated that these twenty electricians were Abominations and needed to be eliminated directly.
Xue Yu did the same thing. Before dawn the next day, she had completed the mission, knocked out the electricians, and carried them to the ship.
She still felt that it was not enough. Xue Yu planned to take on another mission.
She went to find Yan Wantang again. Yan Wantang’s expression was complicated, and she arranged another mission—
This time, it was to kill thirty vegetable cutters and fruit cutters. These jobs had been squeezed out to solve the employment problem in the first place. The higher-ups had long wanted to get rid of these useless people.
The mission information card said: Eliminate the vegetable bugs.
The higher-ups called these useless vegetable cutters and fruit cutters “vegetable bugs.”
Xue Yu accepted the mission and, in the internal food cold storage, knocked these people out and carried them out.
When she came out with the “bodies” wrapped in body bags, no one suspected anything. When they saw her, they would even ask, “Xue Yu, are these the vegetable bugs?”
“Yes, yes. I’m dealing with them. You guys stay away,” Xue Yu said, carrying the “vegetable bugs” to the truck with a sweaty head.
She then transferred them to the ship again.
Her shipping mission this time was not until tomorrow night. Xue Yu was thinking, should she take on another mission?
Just one more, and then I won’t take any more. Xue Yu thought to herself.
When she returned to the Affairs Department, there were several doctors standing in Yan Wantang’s office, including Feng Qizhou. They all had serious expressions and heavy brows. The office was filled with a pessimistic atmosphere.
Xue Yu’s blood ran cold. She was afraid that she had been exposed. “What’s wrong?”
Yan Wantang slowly stood up and said, “You’re too perverted, too brutal. The higher-ups said they want to give you psychological treatment.”
“Me? Perverted?” Xue Yu didn’t understand and pointed at herself.
Only after Xue Yu asked did she know that she had taken on too many missions at once.
In the eyes of others, she had been killing people all this time. She was psychologically twisted, extremely perverted, and extremely brutal, and needed psychological counseling.
All the military officers inside the White Tower knew the inside story of these killing missions.
Now, Xue Yu’s nickname, “the number one executioner of the White Tower,” had spread everywhere.
A pile of nicknames made Xue Yu a little depressed: the number one good-for-nothing in the White Tower, the number one pervert in the White Tower, the number one executioner in the White Tower.
The higher-ups were also studying the reason why Xue Yu had advanced from “the number one good-for-nothing in the White Tower” to “the number one pervert in the White Tower,” and then to “the number one executioner in the White Tower” in just half a year.
Xue Yu had no choice but to be taken to the high-ranking officer’s conference room by several psychologists.
Yan Wantang and Zhou Siyan were also there.
There was a screen at the front of the conference room. There was a lot of data on it. Xue Yu saw her name. She was ranked first; the second was Yan Wantang; the third was Zhou Siyan.
“How did I become the first? What is this?” Xue Yu secretly asked Feng Qizhou.
Feng Qizhou said in a low voice, “Don’t panic. It won’t affect your plan. They’re just going to lecture you.”
The psychologist stood in front of the screen and said to everyone, “You must all know this data. This is the internal data of the military officers. It’s a ranking of the speed of killing.”
“In the past, the fastest and most indifferent killer was Yan Wantang, followed by Zhou Siyan. Now, this ranking has finally been shaken. Xue Yu, you have become the first.”
Xue Yu didn’t know whether to cry or laugh.
“Xue Yu, you can’t go on like this. We are not cultivating a killing machine, nor do we want the White Tower to become a bloody place. Your killing speed has shocked everyone.”
“And, under the slaughter, your psychological state is not affected at all, which makes us all feel that you are perverted.”
Xue Yu stood up and covered her eyes with both hands. “I’m sorry. I’m so perverted. I won’t kill anyone anymore. I repent. I will turn over a new leaf. Please give me a chance!”
The psychologist waved his hand at her and said, “You don’t have to repent, and you don’t have to worry too much. We are just worried about your psychological state, which is why we asked you to come to this meeting.”
“Then what should I do now?”
“Don’t take any more missions. Stay in the psychological counseling room for a while and calm down.”
Xue Yu’s eyes were teary. She looked at the other person pitifully. “Then what about my shipping mission? I still need to transport iron plates to the South Continent. This is my mission. I can’t accept not working.”
Many people didn’t want the position of captain. Now that Xue Yu was so eager to work, the higher-ups couldn’t waste this talent.
The psychologist comforted her, “Don’t worry. You can still carry out this mission. It’s just that we are now asking you to go to the psychological treatment room to calm down. You can set sail for the South Continent tomorrow night.”
“Thank you. Thank you so much,” Xue Yu pretended to cry her eyes out.
She couldn’t appear too numb. She opened her two hands and looked at her palms. “How could I be like this? How could I have killed so many people! Damn it! I feel very regretful now. I just regret it.”
“That’s a bit of an exaggeration,” Yan Wantang said with a smile on the side.
The psychologist ordered, “Yan Wantang, Zhou Siyan, you two need to take turns going to the psychological treatment room to counsel Xue Yu. We can’t let her be so bloody, so perverted.”
“Roger.”
This floor was the work area for high-ranking officers. Everyone knew the inside story of the killing missions.
At the same time, they also got the latest news about Xue Yu.
On the way to the psychological treatment room with the psychologist, Xue Yu felt an unprecedented sense of admiration and fear. She could even hear the whispers of the people on the side.
“Is that Xue Yu, the number one executioner of the White Tower?”
“Xue Yu was so useless before. Is she so terrifying now?”
“Don’t get close to her. Be careful not to be killed.”
“It’s so scary. What did she go through to become like this!”
“Don’t call her a good-for-nothing anymore. Let’s call her the god of death.”
As Xue Yu walked, she couldn’t help but smile. Her back was very straight. She no longer had to be looked down upon. This new nickname seemed to be not bad.
