Arima Kishou and Takatsuki Sen exchanged a glance, Takatsuki Sen was somewhat displeased, but still nodded.
"Previously, our plan was to cultivate a new generation of ’King’, but now that plan has failed, so we must take extreme measures. In this world, only one can exist between Ghouls and Humans, they should not coexist.
Or rather, Ghouls should not have appeared in the world at all. Currently, the V Organization holds too much power, I have a way to make the V Organization lose everything. Once the V Organization disappears, the world will change."
Arima Kishou’s words made Su Xiao very surprised. He couldn’t help but glance at Takatsuki Sen beside him, thinking in his heart, Takatsuki Sen is still here as a Ghoul, is it really okay to say that, and Arima Kishou isn’t entirely human either, being a half-human born from the combination of a Ghoul and a human.
"Make V’s Ghouls lose everything? Takatsuki Sen, will you agree, your father is a member of V, if the Ghouls of V are different from ordinary Ghouls, won’t you be affected as well?"
Su Xiao suddenly felt that what Arima Kishou said was not very reliable. Googlᴇ search 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⚫𝙣𝙚𝙩
"It doesn’t matter, as long as those people pay the price, it doesn’t matter how."
V Organization caused Takatsuki Sen to lose her mother, growing up lonely in the 24th District, with only her foster father Ye Lu by her side. But Ye Lu could only take care of Takatsuki Sen’s daily life, he could not give her fatherly love and motherly love.
Takatsuki Sen’s demeanor didn’t seem like she was lying.
The plan they had been preparing for thirteen years ended without success, and Arima Kishou didn’t have much time left, so the two had to play in person.
"In fact, we cultivated a ’King’ because we wanted the new ’King’ to be powerful enough to destroy ’that thing’, as long as ’that thing’ exists, the world will continue to be distorted. As for whether humans win or Ghouls win afterward, it doesn’t matter to us."
Things were completely clear at this point.
Arima Kishou, though a member of V, was collaborating with Takatsuki Sen to cultivate the next ’King’.
Now the ’King’ they favored had failed prematurely, which disappointed them greatly. The King they chose might not have any cultivation value.
But the appearance of Su Xiao made the two see another possibility.
Why should they cultivate a King when they could unite with the guy in front of them to directly execute the final plan?
That’s why there was that probing from Arima Kishou in Central City towards Su Xiao.
Arima Kishou was testing if Su Xiao was loyal to CCG, and from Su Xiao’s behaviors and words, Arima Kishou learned that Su Xiao was not loyal to CCG, leading to the current scene where Arima Kishou approached for cooperation.
Now, if Su Xiao wanted to understand their specific plan, he needed to take a stand.
But he was concerned, that the task Arima Kishou and Takatsuki Sen couldn’t accomplish together, how dangerous could it be?
It was at this moment that the Reincarnation Paradise’s prompt dispelled Su Xiao’s concerns.
[You have triggered a Hidden Task: Source, accept: Yes/No,]
Difficulty Level: Lv.6.
Task Brief: Source, the core item of the Derivative World.
Task Info: Find the Source as guided by the story character Arima Kishou and obtain it.
Task Deadline: 6 natural days.
Task Reward: 2 attribute points, Soul Crystals (small) ×3.
Task Penalty: All attributes -3.
Seeing the [Soul Crystals (small) ×3] in the task reward, Su Xiao had already decided to complete this task.
The greater the danger, the higher the reward. If you shrink back due to danger, you’ll never become stronger.
Wanting to stand out among the numerous Contractors requires extraordinary courage and determination; otherwise, the Reincarnation Paradise will eliminate you, ultimately resulting in death.
After Su Xiao chose to accept the task, the Reincarnation Paradise’s prompt appeared again.
[You have accepted Hidden Task: Source.]
[You have formed a ’Temporary Adventure Group’ with the story characters: Arima Kishou, Takatsuki Sen.]
[Can exit the Temporary Adventure Group at any time, no penalty,]
[Current members of the Temporary Adventure Group: Contractor No. 13013 (Hunter), Arima Kishou, Takatsuki Sen.]
Su Xiao raised an eyebrow, this ’Temporary Adventure Group’ is unexpectedly pitiful, he endured having no teammates’ injury immunity, it was already impossible for there to be such a function in the Reincarnation Paradise, but what kind of situation is this, allowing you to exit at any time? This betrayal is too convenient.
Actually, this is a disguised help from the Reincarnation Paradise to Su Xiao. If Arima Kishou and Takatsuki Sen intend to betray Su Xiao, the two would automatically exit the ’Temporary Adventure Group’, allowing Su Xiao to be on guard in advance.
And after a dozen seconds, he realized this function seemed to be prepared for him...
"I temporarily agree to cooperate with you, tell me your plan, how can I cooperate with you if I don’t know exactly what to do?"
"Here’s the situation: at the bottom of the shaft destroyed in Central City, there’s a very dangerous area.
In a certain location in that area, there’s something hidden called the ’Source’, I’m not sure what exactly it is, but one thing is certain, destroying that will deal a devastating blow to the V Organization."
After hearing Arima Kishou’s description, Su Xiao was somewhat petrified.
So that convenient exit functionality was prepared for him~.
Arima Kishou and Takatsuki Sen want to destroy the Source, yet Su Xiao’s task is to obtain the Source.
Before the three find the ’Source’, they are teammates, but after that, it might not be the case.
"Is that so, not to mention the upper half of that shaft was blown up, if we delve deep into the shaft, we’ll encounter those Primitive Species, how difficult they are I don’t need to say.
Moreover, by helping you two destroy that so-called ’Source’, what do I stand to gain?"
Acting requires a full set; if Su Xiao agrees to them without any apparent goal, it would arouse their suspicion.
"Once it’s done, I’ll give you a Quinque as a reward, that Quinque is named ’The Owl’."
Arima Kishou indeed made a substantial offering, even taking out his most potent Quinque.
"Hmm? SSS Level Quinque ’The Owl’?"
Su Xiao pretended to ponder, as if hesitating over something.
"If you have that Quinque, you will definitely become stronger."
Takatsuki Sen also joined in persuading.
Logically, since Su Xiao disrupted their plan, the two should be teaming up against him.
But at this point, killing Su Xiao would do no good, not to mention it might not be possible to kill him, especially since there aren’t many people like Su Xiao who are powerful yet not complex in background.
"I agree, but before carrying out your plan, I need to return to the surface for a while, there are things I must do."
Su Xiao plans to return to the surface to spend all his CCG Contribution Value and to complete the mainline task as soon as possible.
By the time he engages in the ’Hidden Task: Source’, Su Xiao will be standing against the CCG, it is safer to complete the mainline task first.
"Of course, we need to return to the surface too, we still need to unite with others, just the three of us might not be enough."
Su Xiao didn’t respond, and Arima Kishou looked at Takatsuki Sen.
"What are you looking at me for?"
"You’ve been ’captured’ by Bai Ye and me."
Takatsuki Sen was completely puzzled, Su Xiao was equally confused.
Arima Kishou started describing his idea to them.
Five minutes later, Takatsuki Sen sighed.
"Alright, I’ve been ’captured’, but let me state in advance, you are not allowed to inject Rc cell suppressor fluid into me, and you two must personally ’escort’ me."
Takatsuki Sen’s words brought a hint of unease to Su Xiao’s eyes, Takatsuki Sen seemed to trust Arima Kishou deeply, this was unfavorable to his task.
However, the priority now is to return to the surface, it can be anticipated that the news that he and Arima Kishou ’captured’ the One-eyed owl will shock the CCG.
