Chapter 118

After killing Itsuki Marude, Su Xiao immediately completed the main mission (2), and the Reincarnation Paradise's prompt appeared.

【You have completed the main mission (2): Associate Special Class Investigator, obtaining 1 attribute point, 1,500 Paradise Coins.】

【Main mission (3) opened.】

Main mission (3): Final Battle.

Difficulty Level: Lv. 4

Mission Brief: Engage in a final battle with the ghoul faction and eliminate more than half of the contractors in the ghoul faction.

Mission Information: Eliminate the weak, the strong survive. The Reincarnation Paradise will not cultivate contractors without potential.

Mission Deadline: 5 natural days.

Mission Reward: Qualification to return.

Mission Penalty: Forced execution.

Main mission (3) could be described as very cruel. One had to eliminate half of the enemy contractors within five days, otherwise, one couldn't escape death.

This was an elimination mechanism. Main mission (1) let contractors familiarize themselves with the derived world, main mission (2) assessed the contractor's combat ability and gave rewards, while main mission (3) was a survival of the fittest choice; only the strong could survive.

The Reincarnation Paradise's prompt wasn't over yet. Su Xiao killed Itsuki Marude, and this matter was exposed under the surveillance camera, which the CCG headquarters would soon know.

【Warning: Because the Hunter killed a high-level CCG member, you have been expelled from the CCG, and CCG contribution points have been cleared.】

【Warning: The CCG will send investigators or ghouls to retaliate against you. Please handle it carefully, Hunter.】

The prompt ended. Su Xiao wasn't surprised at being expelled from the CCG. Su Xiao looked at Kishou Arima.

"Are the two people we are looking for here?"

Kishou Arima shook his head.

"Not sure. One of them should be here, and the situation of the other is special. Whether they can be found is still unknown."

After Eto Yoshimura regained her freedom, her Kakuja shell appeared.

"I will block the investigators; leave the rest to you."

Eto Yoshimura stood where she was, waiting for the incoming investigators.

"Bai Ye, find a ghoul named Donato Porpora. Ghouls generally call him Father."

Su Xiao nodded to indicate he understood, and went to check the prison cells for ghouls separately from Kishou Arima. At this time, alarms were already sounding all around, and the staff in the control room were in a mess. Their warden had been killed, killed by an active Associate Special Class Investigator.

Donato Porpora, a Russian ghoul, once ran a Catholic orphanage, SS-level. Most people called him Father.

In the CCG's data, Father was an SS-level ghoul, but in fact, Father's true strength was SSS-level. Even if he fought the manager, the outcome would be fifty-fifty.

Father ate children in the Catholic orphanage and didn't gather ghouls or attack the CCG, so he was judged as SS-level.

Father was once the foster father of Koutarou Amon, but later his identity was exposed and he was 'defeated' and imprisoned in the ghoul detention center.

Find Father and rescue him. Kishou Arima and Father had an agreement, so he didn't worry about Father not cooperating.

Su Xiao passed through the observation port on the prison door and began to search one by one.

After seeing Su Xiao, the ghouls in the prison cells turned their heads numbly, their pupils dim and lusterless. It seemed they were often tortured.

These ghouls were at least S-level, but in the ghoul detention center, they became guinea pigs.

When searching to the fifth prison cell, Su Xiao saw an old man with white hair and deep wrinkles on his face in the prison cell. Judging by his appearance, the old man was Russian.

"Donato Porpora?"

The old man who was sitting on the bed with his head down in the prison cell opened his eyes and looked up at Su Xiao.

"Who are you?"

"Answer me, are you Donato Porpora?"

The old man in the prison cell smiled, the wrinkles on his face deepening.

"It's me. Did you come to save me, or to kill me?"

Confirming that the person in the prison cell was Father himself, Su Xiao called Kishou Arima not far away. Kishou Arima ran over quickly and looked at Father through the observation port of the prison cell.

"That's right."

Su Xiao stuck a piece of plastic explosive on the door, retreated a distance, and detonated it. This was provided by Kishou Arima.

"Boom."

The prison door was blown open with a large hole, metal fragments splashing, bringing a whistling wind.

Father walked out of the prison cell with a smile on his face, as if he were a kind old man.

Su Xiao didn't think so. This guy might be an old fox, smiling on the face, but who knew what he was calculating in his heart.

"Since you came to save me, it means you have already believed the information I provided and verified it."

Father was calm and composed, wearing clothes with sleeves, his hands bound together. Kishou Arima saw this situation and used 'Narukami' to cut open Father's sleeves.

"Verified. I went deep into that place once and almost died."

The first target was rescued. As long as the second person was rescued, Su Xiao and the others would retreat.

"I was injected with RC cell suppressant, so the fighting can only rely on you. Arima, you haven't introduced this friend of yours to me yet. This is also our partner, right?"

Father looked Su Xiao up and down, seemingly guessing his origin.

"Bai Ye, a former Associate Special Class, his strength is very reliable."

Father smiled and nodded at Su Xiao, not looking down on him because Su Xiao was an Associate Special Class.

"Let's go find the next collaborator."

Kishou Arima took Father to continue checking the prison cells, but Su Xiao stood where he was.

"I have something to handle. If I don't come back in ten minutes, don't wait for me."

After speaking, Su Xiao ran quickly to the upper level.

Su Xiao wanted to get back what should have belonged to him, that Quinque of unknown quality.

"As soon as possible. It's still safe here within half an hour, but headquarters will soon send people."

Kishou Arima shouted at Su Xiao's back and continued to look for the collaborator.

Su Xiao's current location was the tenth basement level. Itsuki Marude had said before that the Quinque was in the laboratory on the seventh basement level.

Three minutes later, Su Xiao arrived at the seventh basement level. There were no prison cells here. What came into view were many experimental personnel in white coats.

These experimental personnel stood behind a glass door, looking at Su Xiao with some fear. It seemed they had already received the notice that Su Xiao had defected from the CCG.

Su Xiao pressed his hand on the glass door. It was very sturdy, even more so than bulletproof glass.

"This guy won't rush in, will he?"

"How is that possible? That is glass fused with Quinque steel and many other materials, even sturdier than Quinque steel."

"What is he going to do?"

Dozens of experimental personnel were discussing. An experimental staff member with a watermelon hairstyle and black hair covering his eyes quietly retreated behind the crowd. He was Dr. Chigyo, the manufacturer of Su Xiao's Quinque.

After noticing the strength of the glass door, Su Xiao gripped the hilt of Zhan Long Shan with one hand, pressed the other hand on the back of the blade, and used the tip of the blade to draw a shallow circular mark on the glass door with all his strength.

After drawing the circular mark, Su Xiao took a deep breath, his body rushed forward, and he slammed into the glass door.

"Clang."

A hole the size of a millstone was knocked out, and those experimental personnel were stunned.

"Mr. Bai Ye, please calm down. This is your Quinque."

Dr. Chigyo was very smart, holding a long box in his arms and walking forward.

Su Xiao took the box, checked it to be correct, ignored these experimental personnel, and ran quickly toward the tenth level.

Su Xiao only took a rough look at the newly obtained Quinque. This was a long sword, green quality, made from the manager's ghoul organ. He didn't look at the specific data in detail, and would check it carefully after leaving the ghoul detention center.

Although this sword was a bit better than Zhan Long Shan, he wouldn't change swords immediately. Issues like the length, weight, center of gravity, sharpness, etc., of the sword all needed adaptation.

A sword wasn't something one could use just by obtaining it; it needed a short period of adaptation, otherwise, it was highly likely to make mistakes in battle.

Su Xiao agreed with Kishou Arima to return within ten minutes, but he actually only used seven minutes.

After returning to the tenth level, he found that only Eto Yoshimura was left here fighting with the investigators, and Kishou Arima and Father were nowhere to be seen.
