Pressing the button of the detonating device, the metal pipes on the manhole cover quickly turned red, as if they were red-hot branding irons.
Several explosions followed, the power of these unknown explosives was enormous, and the position where Su Xiao was also affected.
A shattered manhole cover whizzed over Su Xiao’s head, and he quickly crouched down.
After the explosion, a wave of heat swept over, the pungent smell of acid spread, and as the firelight receded, Su Xiao looked at the explosion point.
The closed manhole cover had disappeared without a trace, the shaft had been blasted into a funnel shape, surrounded by fragmented charred corpses.
These primitive species are not weak, even if Su Xiao and Arima Kishou joined forces, they would not be able to match this number of primitive species.
But now they had all turned into charred corpses because they lacked intelligence.
The two jumped down from the rooftop, coming to the blasted open shaft.
As soon as they entered the explosion area, Su Xiao felt a burning sensation from his shoe soles, and looking down, he saw that his soles had melted slightly, the ground soil had been vitrified by high temperatures.
"Quick, blow up this entrance, something will come up soon."
At Arima Kishou’s urging, Su Xiao took out two metal pipes and threw them into the shaft.
Muttering three times internally, Su Xiao pressed the detonating device.
A muffled sound came from underground, the ground beneath shook, and the shaft was completely destroyed.
To Su Xiao’s surprise, Reincarnation Paradise gave a prompt.
[You have destroyed the ’Diackman’ tribe exit, obtaining 5% of World Source, now a total of 29.3% of World Source obtained.]
Blowing up this shaft actually earned him 5% of World Source? This was a shock to Su Xiao.
There must be secrets down here, is the ’Diackman’ tribe the tribe of primitive species?
There are too few clues, it is unclear for now.
After destroying this so-called ’Diackman’ tribe exit, Su Xiao completed his faction task.
[Faction Task: Reinforcement.] (Completed)
Difficulty Level: Lv.5.
Task Brief: Reinforce the Quasi Special Investigator: Arima Kishou deep in the 24th District and assist Arima Kishou in driving away the primitive species.
Task Information: CCG faction task, will not be calculated in clearance evaluation.
Task Deadline: 2 natural days.
Task Reward: 15,000 faction contribution points.
Failure Penalty: CCG rank drops one level, demoted to First-Class Investigator.
Select whether to complete [Faction Task: Reinforcement.]
Choose to complete, 15,000 faction contribution points in hand, Su Xiao checks the current faction contribution points.
[Quasi Special Investigator: Contribution Points 21,370/130,000.]
Previously after exchanging for "Human Gene Enhancement Liquid", he was left with some faction contribution points, plus the earnings from this task, as well as blasting the thousands of primitive species.
Blasting primitive species can earn CCG contribution points, but the bomb wasn’t Su Xiao’s, so the amount obtained is small.
Seeing the over twenty thousand faction contribution points, Su Xiao felt a secret joy.
This more than twenty thousand contribution points are enough for him to redeem at the 24th District Branch.
Having completed the main line task (2) and acquired enough contribution points, Su Xiao suddenly realized he could soon escape the clutches of CCG.
After he redeems those two items in the 24th District, he will consider completing the main line task (2), and see what the main line task (3) is about, whether it is still closely related to CCG.
Su Xiao’s current situation is becoming increasingly dangerous, with CCG continuously assigning dangerous tasks, making him alert; it’s time to consider breaking away from CCG, this ’human’ organization is increasingly off.
All primitive species had been blown up, the shaft was collapsed, the crisis in Central City resolved, it’s time to return to the surface, Su Xiao needed to quickly redeem items at the 24th District Temporary Branch.
Called Maniwa Haruo and Angel Tokaji out from hiding points, the four gathered, heading towards the exit of Central City, a poorly ventilated underground city that no one wishes to linger in.
Along the way, no one spoke, Maniwa Haruo’s expression appeared somewhat unnatural as she felt she had learned things she should not have known, the primitive species and underground city, had shattered her worldview.
Just as Su Xiao’s quartet were about to enter the underground passage, several figures came towards them.
Su Xiao’s party was headed back to the surface, and those people were heading into Central City, the two groups collided head-on.
In walked a group of ghouls from the passage, and their strength was not weak.
Takatsuki Sen, Duduo Liang, Ye Lu, Kirishima Ayato.
They were people from the Bronze Tree, also four.
Everyone in place halted their steps, confronting each other across a distance of several meters.
"Tokaji, deal with the guy wearing the red mask."
Su Xiao instructed Angel Tokaji to battle Duduo Liang, though Tokaji was only a Second-level investigator, wearing ’Xin’, she was more than a match for Duduo Liang, even if unable to kill, keeping him occupied was no problem.
"Arima, I’ll deal with the guy wrapped in bandages, the others are yours, okay?"
Su Xiao targeted Takatsuki Sen; during a prior skirmish she escaped after injuring him, which equated to pulling a fast one and running, there was no way he would let her go this time.
"I’ll go against that fellow, the others are yours."
Arima Kishou directly walked towards Takatsuki Sen.
"I’m not good at group fights, you should know that."
With that, Su Xiao sprinted towards Takatsuki Sen.
Arima Kishou frowned, seemingly wanting to stop Su Xiao, but Su Xiao had already reached Takatsuki Sen, he had no way to intervene.
Helplessly, Arima Kishou could only approach Ye Lu and Kirishima Ayato.
Maniwa Haruo stood in place, her gaze on Su Xiao’s back was somewhat resentful, as Su Xiao hadn’t told her who to deal with.
On the battlefield, Maniwa Haruo the Miss as beautiful as a flower~.
Scanning around, Maniwa Haruo first ruled out Duduo Liang and Ye Lu, both of whom were notorious formidable ghouls on record, not within her prowess.
Ultimately, Maniwa Haruo focused on Kirishima Ayato.
Kirishima Ayato did not care about Maniwa Haruo’s gaze, as the CCG’s famed White Death was heading towards him, even though he had Ye Lu to aid him, Kirishima Ayato still felt uncertain.
When ghouls and investigators met, there was no room for negotiation, live or die, fight if dissatisfied!
Regardless of others’ battles, as Su Xiao charged towards Takatsuki Sen, Takatsuki Sen seemed somewhat resigned.
Kirishima Ayato was nearby, and she hesitated whether or not to reveal her true identity. The most update n0vels are published on 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹•𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑒•𝙣𝙚𝙩
Watching Su Xiao rush towards her with a knife, Takatsuki Sen sighed, then turned and ran into the tunnel behind.
The timing was premature; she couldn’t expose her identity just yet.
Su Xiao pursued closely, the two rushing into the passage one after the other.
In human form, Takatsuki Sen’s speed was unexpectedly quick, surpassing with Su Xiao’s 13 agility attribute, unable to catch up for a moment.
The pair ran through the passage, one fleeing and one chasing; after a few minutes, Takatsuki Sen halted, the two confronting each other in a spacious clearing, a battlefield choice by Takatsuki Sen, a spacious area more suited for her Full Body Ghoul Speaker state combat.
Takatsuki Sen had grown up in the 24th District, familiar with the area.
"Not running anymore?"
Su Xiao approached Takatsuki Sen slowly, Blue Steel Shadow activating, arcs of electricity surged on Dragon Slash’s surface, emitting a faint blue glow.
"What a misfortune to run into you."
Takatsuki Sen’s voice was ethereal, loosening some bandages on her body, revealing the fair skin beneath.
Takatsuki Sen was not seducing Su Xiao; she needed to shift into Full Body Ghoul Speaker state, and the bandages were somewhat obstructive.
With a sudden kick off the ground, Su Xiao rushed to Takatsuki Sen, the sharp blade in hand sliced through the air, poised for her neck.
Heko surged beneath the bandages, enveloped Takatsuki Sen in the Shell of Ghoul Speaker before Dragon Slash dropped.
The battle was about to erupt.
