Chapter 110

~8 min read 1,429 words

Pressing the button on the detonator, the metal pipes on the cover quickly turned red, as if they were iron rods being heated red-hot.

Boom. Boom...

Several explosions followed one after another. This mysterious explosive had incredible power, and Su Xiao's position was also affected.

A piece of the shattered cover whistled over Su Xiao's head, and he quickly ducked.

After the explosion, a heatwave hit, and a pungent, acidic smell spread. As the fire faded, Su Xiao looked at the explosion point.

The closed cover had vanished, the shaft had been blown into a funnel shape, and the surrounding area was littered with charred corpses.

These primitive ones were not weak; even if Su Xiao and Arima Kishou joined forces, they would not be a match for this many primitive ones.

But now they had all become charred corpses because they lacked intelligence.

The two jumped down from the roof and arrived at the shaft that had been blown open.

Just as he walked into the explosion area, Su Xiao felt a burning sensation on the soles of his shoes. Looking down, he saw his soles had melted slightly, and the soil on the ground had been vitrified by the high temperature.

"Quickly destroy this shaft opening; something will come up soon."

Urged by Arima Kishou, Su Xiao took out two metal pipes and threw them into the shaft.

"1, 2, 3."

After counting to three silently, Su Xiao pressed the detonator.

Thud.

A muffled sound came from underground, the ground beneath their feet shook, and the shaft was completely destroyed.

Something unexpected happened to Su Xiao; the Reincarnation Paradise gave a prompt.

【You have destroyed the 'Diakman' tribe exit, obtaining 5% World Source. You have now obtained a total of 29.3% World Source.】

Destroying this shaft actually obtained 5% World Source? This left Su Xiao stunned.

There must be a secret down there. Was that 'Diakman' tribe the tribe of the primitive ones?

There were too few clues, and it was unclear for the time being.

After destroying the exit of this so-called 'Diakman' tribe, Su Xiao's faction mission was complete.

【Faction Mission: Reinforcement.】 (Completed)

Difficulty Level: Lv. 5.

Mission Brief: Venture deep into the 24th Ward to reinforce Special Class Investigator Arima Kishou and assist him in driving away the primitive ones.

Mission Info: CCG faction missions will not be calculated in the clearance evaluation.

Mission Deadline: 2 natural days.

Mission Reward: 15,000 Faction Contribution Points.

Failure Penalty: CCG rank demoted by one level, demoted to Associate Special Class Investigator.

Complete 【Faction Mission: Reinforcement】? Yes/No.

Choosing to complete, 15,000 Faction Contribution Points were obtained. Su Xiao checked his current Faction Contribution Points.

【Associate Special Class Investigator: Contribution Points 21,370/130,000.】

After exchanging for the 【Human Gene Enhancement Fluid】 earlier, he still had some Faction Contribution Points left, plus what he obtained from this mission and the thousands of primitive ones he blew up.

Blowing up primitive ones could obtain CCG contribution points, but the bombs weren't Su Xiao's, so the amount obtained was very small.

Seeing the more than 20,000 Faction Contribution Points, Su Xiao was secretly pleased.

These 20,000+ contribution points were enough for him to exchange at the 24th Ward branch.

Having completed the Main Mission (2) and obtained enough contribution points, Su Xiao suddenly realized that he would soon be able to break free from the CCG's constraints.

After he finished exchanging for those two items in the 24th Ward, he would consider completing Main Mission (2) to see what Main Mission (3) actually was and whether it was still closely related to the CCG.

Su Xiao's current situation was becoming increasingly dangerous. The dangerous missions the CCG kept assigning made him vigilant. It was time to consider leaving the CCG; this 'human' organization was becoming more and more wrong.

The primitive ones were all blown to death, and the shaft had collapsed. The crisis in the Central City was resolved, and it was time to return to the surface. Su Xiao needed to go to the 24th Ward temporary branch to exchange for items as soon as possible.

Calling Mado Akira and Suzuya Juuzou out from their hiding spot, the four gathered and walked toward the exit of the Central City. No one wanted to stay long in this underground city where air circulation was poor.

No one spoke along the way. Mado Akira's expression was somewhat unnatural; she felt she had learned things she shouldn't have. The primitive ones and the underground city had shattered her worldview.

Just as the four of them were about to enter the underground tunnel, several figures walked toward them.

Su Xiao's group was returning to the surface, while those people were entering the Central City. The two groups bumped into each other.

The group walking out of the tunnel were ghouls, and they were not weak.

Eto Yoshimura, Tatara, Noro, Kirishima Ayato.

It was Aogiri Tree's people, also four of them.

Everyone present stopped, confronting each other from over ten meters away.

"Suzuya, you deal with that guy wearing the red mask."

Su Xiao let the little angel Suzuya fight Tatara. Although Suzuya was only a Rank 2 Investigator, after putting on 'Jason', he had no problem dealing with Tatara. Even if he couldn't kill him, stalling him was no problem.

"Arima, I'll deal with that guy wrapped in bandages. You take the others, no problem, right?"

Su Xiao had his eyes on Eto Yoshimura. During their previous battle, the other party had injured him and escaped, which could be considered "acting cool and running away." This time, he wouldn't let the other party go no matter what.

"I'll deal with that guy, you take the others."

Arima Kishou walked straight toward Eto Yoshimura.

"I'm not good at group battles, you should know that."

After speaking, Su Xiao rushed toward Eto Yoshimura.

Arima Kishou frowned, seemingly wanting to stop Su Xiao, but Su Xiao had already rushed in front of Eto Yoshimura, and he couldn't stop him.

Helpless, Arima Kishou could only walk toward Noro and Kirishima Ayato.

Mado Akira stood where she was, her gaze toward Su Xiao's back somewhat resentful; Su Xiao hadn't told her who to deal with.

The battlefield's beauty, Miss Mado Akira~.

Scanning the scene, Mado Akira first ruled out Tatara and Noro; these two were powerful ghouls on record, and she was no match for them.

Finally, Mado Akira looked at Kirishima Ayato.

Kirishima Ayato didn't care about Mado Akira's gaze. The CCG's famous White Reaper was rushing toward him. Even with Noro joining forces with him, Kirishima Ayato still had no confidence.

After ghouls and investigators met, there was no possibility of negotiation. Life and death were disregarded; if you're not convinced, fight!

Regardless of the others' battles, when Su Xiao rushed toward Eto Yoshimura, she appeared somewhat helpless.

Kirishima Ayato was still nearby, and she was hesitating whether to reveal her true identity.

Watching Su Xiao rush over with his blade, Eto Yoshimura sighed and turned to run into the tunnel behind her.

The timing wasn't ripe; she couldn't expose her identity yet.

Su Xiao followed closely, and the two rushed into the tunnel one after the other.

In her human state, Eto Yoshimura's speed was unexpectedly fast. With Su Xiao's 13 points of Agility, he couldn't catch up for a moment.

The two fled and chased in the tunnel. After a few minutes, Eto Yoshimura stopped. The two confronted each other in a very spacious open area. This was the battle location Eto Yoshimura had chosen; the spacious area was more suitable for her Kakuja state battle.

Eto Yoshimura grew up in the 24th Ward and knew it like the back of her hand.

"Not running anymore?"

Su Xiao slowly approached Eto Yoshimura. Qing Gang Ying was activated, and arcs of electricity surged on the surface of Checking Zhan Long Shan, emitting a hazy blue light.

"How unlucky, why did I run into you?"

Eto Yoshimura's voice was ethereal. She loosened some of the bandages on her body, vaguely revealing fair skin, and even two pink spots on her chest.

Eto Yoshimura wasn't seducing Su Xiao; she was about to transform into her Kakuja state, and these bandages were in the way.

Pushing off the ground, Su Xiao rushed in front of Eto Yoshimura in a few steps, his blade slicing through the air toward her neck.

The Kagune surged under the bandages. Before Checking Zhan Long Shan could fall, Eto Yoshimura was already wrapped in her Kakuja shell.

The battle was on the verge of breaking out.
