After Lu Yizhan's eye healed, there was one less competitor for the Judgement of the Cross.

One more one-eyed Cen Buming, who has become the second detachment's deputy leader.

Lu Yizhan also became a member of the third detachment from a junior member in charge of cleaning to a triple jump in two mega-accidents, successfully completing the [Cross Trial Army] test.

There is also a lot of talk behind Lu Yizhan's back that his position is not worthy of the name.

If it hadn't been for the loss of two of the best men in the Crusaders, and the withdrawal of their best rival, Cen Buming, who chose to take over as second vice-captain at a time when the Second Brigade was crumbling, he would never have been given the job.

But Lu Yizhan didn't take any of this to heart, because there was just too much information to digest.

"Listen carefully, the appearance of the [heretics] is a game between Bai six, who is an evil god, and us." Sitting across from Lu Yizhan was a serious-looking young man with boxed glasses called Wu Ruishu, one of the members of the Judgement Army of the Cross, who was also the deputy leader of the first detachment.

He is responsible for the paperwork and logistics of the First Squad and the Crusaders, as well as for compiling and organising all the information in the base's heretical files.

However, the sparring results were mediocre as the limbs were not well coordinated.

During Lu Yizhan's time in the Crossroads, he has learnt how uncoordinated his body is - the man can accidentally drop his glasses on the toilet lid, and at the same time slip into a sitting position when he gets up.

Lu Yizhan's expression was blank as he saw the lenses being removed from Wu Ruishu's ass as he was taken to the medical room, his admiration for the lieutenant gone.

Wu Ruishu's weapon was said to be a pair of family heirlooms, but Lu Yizhan had never seen Wu Ruishu use them, after all, he hadn't been out in the field for most of the month, and had been telling the newcomer Lu Yizhan about their number one enemy, the Bai The team's number one enemy, the Bai six, has been a constant source of information for Lu Yizhan.

"Things like [heretics] started out being devolved directly and randomly by the Bai six without any regularity, resulting in widespread casualties by the time we often went there and a lot of effort to house the heretics, but not until one time Fang Dian caught the Bai six on the trail!"

Wu Ruishu pushed up his glasses, his tone was excited, and his eyes couldn't help but shine when he spoke of Fang Dian, the captain, " Fang Dian and Bai six agreed to play a game, and if she won the game, Bai six would no longer be able to delegate heresy at will."

Lu Yizhan asked, "What is the game?"

Wu Ruishu is quiet for a moment: "...... tower defence game, ever heard of it?"

"The Heretic Authority is our side of the tower, and Bai six has its own set of towers, and whoever breaches the other side's tower first wins the game."

Lu Yizhan couldn't resist asking, "Where is the tower of Bai six?"

"We wanted to know too." Wu Ruishu said softly, " Each time Bai six devolves a heretic, he gives us part of a hint, a hint to go to the tower he has set."

"The more dangerous the heresy is, the more information about [the tower] is wrapped up in it."

"Information?" Lu Yizhan asked rhetorically, frowning.

"It's the coordinates." Wu Ruishu said with a calm eye, "On some special heretics, there is some numerical related information after being interred. We have got twelve digits, and after my many experiments and speculations, I suspect that these are probably the coordinates of the latitude and longitude lines, and with a reasonable arrangement, we can find the [tower] of Bai six. "

"Soon we'll be able to assist Team Fang in winning this game and then stop this ridiculousness."

As Wu Ruishu speaks, he breathes a long sigh of relief and can't help the smile on his face.

"What are you laughing at?" Fang Dian pushed out of the side office next to theirs while putting on her coat and smiled when she saw Wu Ruishu laughing, "So happy?"

Wu Ruishu instantly tightened his body and greeted Fang Dian with a very stereotypical nod, " Hello Team Fang."

Lu Yizhan also straightened his legs nervously: " Team Fang, good!"

Fang Dian smiled as she casually gathered her half-length hair around her shoulders and tied it back, patting them vigorously on their uplifted chests, "You too!"

When Fang Dian left, Lu Yizhan, who had been photographed with a red face, covered her chest and looked quietly at Wu Ruishu, who was also red-faced, next to her: "......"

It's all about the people who love Team Fang.

Lu Yizhan was not surprised by this, as he had heard before he joined the Crossroads that Wu Ruishu's path to the team was different from that of the normal trainees.

Wu Ruishu was a fairly well-off boy whose father was also a collector, but once collected a strange object from an auction - a stalk of blood lingzhi that was said to give immortality if eaten.

The blood lingzhi was cut into eight pieces and auctioned off, and his father was given one of them.

Since then, Wu Ruishu has had his heart set on joining the Heretics Board.

A half-way decent nerd like him had to suffer a lot as a trainee in a place like the Heretic's Bureau, but Wu Ruishu managed to become Fang Dian's second-in-command, thanks to his good brain and his unrelenting determination to not turn back from the brink.

But Wu Ruishu's love for Fang Dian is more like a romantic fantasy and aspiration than a love between a man and a woman, a kind of fan's love for an idol, a very strong faith, an unconditional hope, which is why Lu Yizhan never feels jealous, but sometimes even a bit funny.

"Team Fang will lead us to defeat Bai six!" Wu Ruishu shakes his fist with glowing eyes, "Good will triumph over evil!"

Lu Yizhan: "......"

Now, for example.

Although it was rude for Vice-Captain Wu to laugh out loud, he really wanted to.

"Lieutenant Wu, the Cross Judges are so strong, it feels like it's beyond the realm of normal human ability." Lu Yizhan humbly asked for advice, "Is there some kind of special training? Do I need to carry out these special trainings?"

Wu Ruishu is quiet for a moment: "No, the reason we can do so many things beyond the norm is because we have the personal skills."

"Personal skills?" Lu Yizhan frowned back, "What is it?"

Wu Ruishu is silent for a moment: "It is a certain power that Bai six has delegated to us according to our desires."

"When Fang Dian found Bai six, she once played against him with all her might and almost died. Bai six saved her life, saying that I hadn't seen a human being with such a strong desire that could approach the level of a [god] in a long time."

"If you weren't evil enough and had too much pure goodness in your desires, you might have succeeded in killing me by now and become the next generation of evil gods - that's how Bai six described Team Fang."

Wu Ruishu takes a deep breath: " Team Fang says that good will eventually triumph over evil and we can defeat you with our desire for good."

" Bai six said, well, I'll play a game with you, I'll materialize your good desires and give you the power that your desires give you to resist me, and if you do win, I'll withdraw from this world line."

Wu Ruishu clenched his fist again: " Team Fang will beat him!"

Lu Yizhan opened his mouth to ask what would happen if he lost, but in the end, looking at Wu Ruishu's face, he didn't ask the question.

Wu Ruishu was a really good lieutenant, and within a year of Lu Yizhan's entry into the [Crusade] he had identified twelve coordinates around the world that could be the [tower] of Bai six, and then the [Crusade] went out in turn to eliminate them one by one.

But even if the coordinates to which they went were not Bai six's [tower], they would still have to play a [game] with Bai six when they arrived at where they were.

The casualties [from the game] were heavy, but they weren't all bad.

Bai six recognized Lu Yizhan as a Crusader in an in-game session, delegating to him skills that were derived from his desires.

But Lu Yizhan wasn't really happy about it, he was a bit embarrassed.

--because his skill weapon is a heavy sword identical to Fang Dian's.

At the end of the game, Lu Yizhan, who had won the game with Bai six, was awarded his own skill.

The heavy sword snapped out of Bai six's hand and struck Lu Yizhan in the face, then Bai six looked at it with a subtle raised eyebrow before it disappeared.

Lu Yizhan was slapped straight to the ground by the heavy sword and as he was struggling to get out from under the overly heavy sword, he turned his head to see Fang Dian crouching curiously next to him, poking the heavy sword that was crushing him and nearly deflating him: " Lu Yizhan, why do you have the same skill weapon as me? "

Almost everyone in the Crusaders had an unspoken smile on their faces, including Wu Ruishu.

Lu Yizhan scratched the back of his head with a red face and stumbled as he frantically hid his heavy sword behind him, "Ah! It's because I'm envious of Team Fang's weapon! I really admire Team Fang!"

Fang Dian was slightly puzzled: "But Wu Ruishu already worships me enough, and his weapon is a taijitu, not a heavy sword?"

"Ahem." Wu Ruishu explained for Lu Yizhan with a straight face, "Maybe it's a weapon derived from a deeper level of worship and desire."

Lu Yizhan: "......"

There's no need to make a point of explaining it for me, Lieutenant Wu.

Fang Dian rubbed his chin: "But my heavy sword is heavy, Lu Yizhan, can you lift it?"

Lu Yizhan, who is dragging the heavy sword with all his strength: "......"

Damn it! I just can't lift it! I'm such a loser!

"Well then, since we're both armed the same way." Fang Dian smiled and walked over to Lu Yizhan, she casually took Lu Yizhan's hand and with it she drew her heavy sword and swung it steadily forward, the night breeze blew through her hair, Fang Dian smiled and looked back, her hair brushed past her arched eyes, "You will train with me later, I will teach you to use the heavy sword! "

Lu Yizhan's mind went blank for five minutes before he uttered the word "good" in a daze.

Lu Yizhan went to sleep that night with a heavy sword in his arms and tears of happiness.
