Beneath the night sky, Xu Shu stroked Da Ju and glanced at the red-haired woman who followed closely by his side, nodding to himself in approval, feeling quite satisfied.
Her mind is really sharp... No, it’s truly detailed!
Tang Ying, this woman, might seem like a fiery and fierce leader, but in reality, she is thoughtful and ticulous.
Xu Shu thought she was capable and decided he had sothing he could entrust to her.
What thing?
Of course, it was household matters.
Although Xu Shu knew that the Jianqi Sect would launch an attack tomorrow, he was not clear about where exactly it would take place.
It could be a filthy and chaotic slum or a bustling comrcial district teeming with chaos.
Perhaps they would strike in several places at once?
After all, among the Demon Chosen whose nas were known and who were still alive, there were already three.
Therefore, even if they did rise up in multiple locations tomorrow, Xu Shu would not be surprised.
He could even predict in advance that inevitably, so unfortunate civilians would die in the attacks and beco sacrificial pawns in the Judgent Departnt’s suppression of the cult.
Certainly, not just civilians, but officials from the Judgent Departnt, who would charge into the frontlines, would also perish there.
As stated in the mobilization order, this mission was extrely dangerous, and mbers of the Judgent Departnt would be the first to be hit, inevitably losing many in the conflict.
The complete wipeout of Xu Shu’s previous extermination team, Squad Ten, served as a warning.
This was not child’s play, but a cost that was bound to occur.
If lucky, the enemies encountered weren’t strong, leading to successfully killing cultists and receiving rewards for rit.
If unlucky and having responsibilities in a district where a powerful Divine Chosen appeared, then it was almost foreseeable that the entire team would be wiped out, and managing to send a distress signal before death would be the limit for the average mber.
In every historical ’large-scale clearing’, many soldiers perished.
So young newcors, perhaps still full of fighting spirit, hoped to achieve many feats in the "upcoming week."
But those who truly knew the dangers inside were hurrying to the church to pray at night, hoping that the districts they were responsible for wouldn’t have any cultists, and if there were, they hoped the opponents would be the weaker peripheral mbers.
Regardless of whether they sensed the danger of this operation from the few lightly worded sentences in the mobilization order, this ti, the operation was sothing no one could shrink back from.
A soldier for a thousand days, deploynt in a critical mont.
Each mber who had joined the Judgent Departnt, whether they were ordinary officers or Transcendent Prosecutors, had no assurance whether their nas would be added to tomorrow’s ’sacrifice list’, but they still had to steel their will and continue forward.
Life and death are fated, wealth and honor are in heaven.
—But there was a group of people who, due to being ’too privileged’, thus enjoyed certain privileges.
For instance, Tang Ying and Song Yuchun.
Xu Shu had heard from Yu Mingluan that they were direct descendants of the Tang family and the Song Family, respectively.
Previously, Xu Shu was unclear about the significance of ’direct descendant’.
However, after reviewing this ti’s strategic deploynt plan, Xu Shu understood.
The task for Song Yuchun and Tang Ying for the coming week was to each lead 5 junior prosecutors and 55 ordinary officers, patrolling the ’Yan Ye Mall’ and ’Dream of the Dragon’.
The forr was on the sa street as the Dawn Church; the latter was the largest affluent area in the safety zone, right next to the Life Mother God Cathedral and a square away from the entrance of the Judgent Departnt.
Xu Shu really wanted to complain at that mont.
Damn it, do these two places even need patrolling?
Isn’t this just at the doorstep of the Judgent Departnt’s headquarters?
Cultists are indeed madn, but they are not fools—they surely understand the principle of picking the softer persimmons.
So obviously, this was truly ’wealth and honor in heaven.’
When you’re out in the world, you must consider background and influence.
While so were praying not to encounter particularly formidable cultists in their tasked districts.
Others were placed directly in the safest areas and picked up credit without effort.
And such individuals were definitely not limited to Tang Ying and Song Yuchun.
Xu Shu could easily guess that the jurisdiction within one kiloter around the Astronomy Association was probably occupied by such people with connections.
In contrast, the mixed and potentially cult-attacked outer districts were equally distributed to every person without powerful backing.
However, Xu Shu, no longer the naïve young man he once was, would not bla the heavens or others, nor complain about the inherent inequalities of life.
On the contrary, considering the special circumstances of tomorrow, Xu Shu decided to take advantage of this privilege himself.
Since Tang Ying wanted to curry favor with her superior, he would give her the opportunity!
His own family lived within a 4-5 kiloter zone, not particularly dangerous, but not entirely safe either—who knew if cultists might decide to commit murder and arson there.
Better safe than sorry.
Thus, Xu Shu’s plan was to have Tang Ying bring his foster parents to the Judgent Departnt early tomorrow morning and spend the entire day in his office.
Tomorrow, December 12th, was a Saturday, and his younger sister would also be off school at noon, which was convenient for him to pick her up on his way back to the Judgent Departnt.
This would extinguish even the slightest chance of misfortune in encountering cultists—a perfect plan!
It’s worth ntioning that all Third Rank personnel were on flexible standby—although Xu Shu was not a Third Rank in terms of level, like other Third Rank mbers, he was a High-level Prosecutor, thus recognized equally in the strategic direction.
