Chapter 7: Their respective pieces (revision)(1/2)
The sky is filled with stars, and the wilderness is not quiet at night. Mountains spread out, wild beasts appear, and insects chirp nonstop.
Rumble~
The gravel on the ground shook as a train passed along the railway track. The thick smoke from the front of the train was mixed with sparks from coal burning.
In the VIP compartment of the second section of the train, Su Xiao was flipping through the information in his hand. Originally, he was going to deal with a dangerous object called an urn. Before he arrived at the scene of the incident, the urn was seized by the local authorities.
'We dealt with it in separate sections and finally classified it as a Class B dangerous substance.
The report states that although this thing is scary, it does not pose as great a threat to civilians as imagined. It looks scary, but as long as there is sufficient experience in handling dangerous objects, 5 to 6 members of the "agency" can handle it properly.
Although this is not good news for Su Xiao, it also saves him time. His main mission requires the containment/elimination of A-level or S-level dangerous objects. Even if the elimination of B-level dangerous objects can improve the completion of the task, compared with the cost
The time cost and the completion of the task are not earned.
The reason why Su Xiao took this long-distance train was to rush to a small town on the border of the Southern Alliance called Winter Spring Town.
Four years ago, a dangerous object appeared in Dongquan Town. Logically speaking, the containment agency should have dealt with it long ago. However, the dangerous object was a little special and extremely difficult to find. Once alerted, it would disappear immediately, and it would not take long for it to appear again in winter.
Appears in Quan Town.
After sending several waves of people back and forth, the dangerous object was still not solved, so it was just left there.
Manpower is really in short supply. If it is not necessary to deal with such dangerous objects, leaving 1 to 2 field personnel stationed all year round is the best option.
Su Xiao was ready to deal with this dangerous object. The reason was that the level of this dangerous object was not low. The previous deputy commander of the army, Widman, went to Winter Spring Town and brought the Bulldog Troops with him. However, he came back defeated.
A famous confidant died there.
Faced with this situation, the normal people in power cannot bear it and must completely eliminate the dangerous thing. The new deputy army commander, Weidman, weighed the pros and cons for a long time, and finally decided that it would be better to let more of his subordinates die than to lose face.
This is a greater loss. With his ability, he is destined to be unable to deal with the dangerous objects in Dongquan Town.
The last deputy commander of the army could be defeated, and the dangerous thing in Dongquan Town was definitely an S-level base. Su Xiao decided to go and have a look. Even if he couldn't solve it, it would be better than waiting in Youke City.
The heater in the carriage emits warm heat, coupled with the rhythmic sound of the train running, making people drowsy. Su Xiao did not rest. He didn't even solve the puzzle game. Instead, he sat cross-legged on the bed and laid the Dragon Slaying Flash flat.
With his legs ready to draw his sword and fight at any time.
It's not that Su Xiao is too cautious. In the mission world, the probability of Su Xiao being attacked by transportation is more than 70%.
This is also why he didn't buy a vehicle that could be stored in the storage space. Not only was the vehicle that could be brought into the eighth-level world extremely expensive, but also because it was really distressing to have it damaged.
Not only was Su Xiao vigilant, but Baha was also vigilant. Tianba beauty Liechao was sitting by the car window, admiring the night view outside. Although she was not willing to assist Su Xiao, she had no choice but to take the summoning contract.
The Tianba warriors in the Palace of Heaven were indeed killed by Su Xiao, but Su Xiao did not kill the Tianba civilians in the Kingdom of God. It was a waste of time.
Regarding this, Lie Chao was doubtful. In fact, it didn't matter whether she believed it or not. Su Xiao summoned her, firstly because of Hunter Chao's strength, and secondly because of her agility. When she first came into contact with dangerous objects, she ran fast enough. It was obvious that
It has better survivability than fighting against.
Compared to Su Xiao and Baha, whose senses are fully open, Bubuwang is much more relaxed. It is lying on the small bed opposite and sleeping soundly. It was told before that it had to deal with the 'urn', and it seemed as stable as an old one.
The dog has no fear, but in fact he is so scared that he almost urinates.
Now that he heard that the 'urn' had been taken into custody, Bubu Wang felt that he was full of hope again, his mood improved, and he naturally began to fall asleep.
While Su Xiao was releasing his perception, he was also meditating daily. After completing his daily meditation, he opened his eyes. Maybe he was overthinking. He had left Youke City for nearly three hours, and there was still no enemy attack.
Just as Su Xiao felt more relaxed, something suddenly fell down within his perception circle and crashed onto the roof of the car.
Su Xiao looked up and saw a depression on the roof of the carriage. Just as he was about to draw the knife, a painful groan came from above.
"I fell to death, and I told you not to fly upside down. Is your wisdom limited to eating dirt?"
A slightly green male voice came from above, and it sounded like the voice was still in the process of changing.
Dong dong dong~
A white-haired boy slumped down and tapped on the car window with his fingers.
"Sir, I'm sorry to bother you. Do you know where Sunset Canyon is? I can pay the pound."
The white-haired boy smiled contagiously. Obviously, he was not the attacker.
At this time, the young man had some doubts in his heart. For some reason, when he looked at the man in the carriage, he felt like he was stuck in his heart. Although he had never met the man before, he looked at him... unhappy?
The white-haired boy suppressed his thoughts. He and the other party had never met before. He was so good, so why should he be upset with him? This must be his own problem and has nothing to do with others.
"The Sunset Canyon is over there..."
Baha raised his wings and was about to point in the direction when the white-haired boy disappeared with an ooh. Yes, it was an ooh.
The train was traveling in the tunnel, and the white-haired boy was sitting at the entrance of the tunnel. A lump gradually swelled up on his head, and a big mechanical bird landed next to him.
"You're so stupid, giggling."
The big mechanical bird laughs like gears grinding together. If members of the containment institution see it, they will immediately recognize it as a dangerous object.
…
"Where does this person come from? He doesn't look very smart at first glance."
Baha poured himself a cup of hot tea and drank it slowly, which made Hunting Chao look at him sideways.
"This is the child of the world."
Su Xiao had just sensed that that kind of aura fluctuation might be the Son of the World, but it was probably not the genuine Son of the World. The feeling of being blessed by luck was not too strong.
"Kill?"
Baha's breath began to become dangerous.
"No need for now."
Su Xiao didn't let Baha take action. He wanted to know what it was. If the white-haired boy was the real Son of the World, he had already taken action just now.
It felt like...the child of the world appeared by some kind of coincidence? Or maybe someone poured the power of luck into the other person.
This is not impossible. The two props collected in Su Xiao's storage space can do this. Judging from the current situation, it seems that someone used some method to cultivate the Son of the World (pseudo).
Don't think this is incredible. In the wizarding world, although Su Xiao has never seen this kind of person with his own eyes, the Nia trained by Shu Guang, Laurent, and Gus is a similar existence.
If Su Xiao's guess is correct, then the situation is very interesting. After he released the Devourer, the Devourer reached a symbiosis with a young man named Aiqi.
And someone used a special method to cultivate a white-haired boy.
If Su Xiao and that person confront each other, it is unlikely that the two will fight directly in the early stage. It is likely that they will develop through their respective chess pieces, that is, let Aiqi and the white-haired boy fight for the first round of games and trials.
…
The prosperous city, Gaman City.
The streets were deserted at midnight. A figure covered in blood was running wildly on the street, and angry curses could be heard from behind.
A few seconds later, a dozen burly men stopped on the street, looking around with eyes like hungry wolves.
"Where did that kid go? He punched him, Puluo (Puluo: a curse word in this world, similar to TMD)."
"We must find him. The black thing that came out of his hand just now bit off half of Afu's head. Afu is dead."
A dozen strong men were cursing, and in the nearby alley, Aiqi huddled in the darkness. Today, he protected the person he wanted to protect, the owner of the 'Sonya Hotel', Thea Sawyer.
Miss.
Those rude and sweaty guys were rude to Ms. Sawyer under the stimulation of alcohol. Looking at their posture, they clearly wanted to take advantage of the lack of customers and push Ms. Sawyer into the utility room.
Aiqi could guess what these thugs were going to do because he was an 18-year-old adult male.
Aiqi stood up. He originally wanted to shout for help before he was beaten to death, but when he reacted, he was already holding half of his arm with bite marks all over it, as if he had been bitten in two by a giant beast.
Aiqi was so frightened that he turned around and ran away, which is why the current scene happened.
"Let him run away. How are you going to explain this to the higher ups? Are you guys out of your mind? We must keep silent about what happened today no matter what. Once the higher ups know about it, we will all disappear no later than 6 a.m."
"No way, we joined the 'Ring' half a month ago. In any case, the 'Ring' is also a peripheral organization of the containment agency. The containment agency is a member of the alliance and an official organization. It is unlikely..."
"fart!"
A loud shout made the other strong men lower their heads. The leading man glared with a pair of bull's eyes, and the flesh on his face trembled, and he said angrily:
"Do you know the asylum very well? Do you really think it is a charity organization? It would be more terrifying than death if the 'agency' knew what happened today. We joined the 'Ring' to avoid being hunted by the Bloody Hand Gang. Have you ever thought about it?
, why don’t the Bloody Hand Gang, which controls most of the underground business in Gaman City, dare to hunt us down? They are afraid of the asylum, and they are even more afraid of the "agencies". The "agencies" are extraordinary people with abnormal brains who will kill us.
It’s nothing to them. Do you remember how many ants you have crushed to death?”
The strong man at the head scolded the others angrily, scolding the others until their hands and feet were cold. They realized the seriousness of the matter and joined the "ring", which made them all feel a little elated. Under the stimulation of alcohol, the scene tonight happened.
"Over there, it's about tonight."
"Quiet, there will be no one left. Dirty deeds are more hated than murder. You go back to the hotel, take care of the scene, and pretend that there is a dangerous object. As for that kid, I have a little impression of him. Last time I went to Zoya Hotel, I
I saw that he was very close to a woman. She was a female apprentice at a tailor shop on Rong Street. Let’s start from here and kill them all. Maybe a few of us can survive, otherwise we will all die. Do you understand?”
"Yes yes yes."
"Let's go back to the hotel."
Just as a dozen strong men were about to split up, Aiqi, who was huddled in the darkness of the alley, stood up.
'Edge.'
The Devourer's voice appeared in Edge's mind.
To be continued...
