Chapter 1718
The next morning, Execution Agency headquarters, Deputy Legion Commander's office—no, it should be Legion Commander's office.
"How did you do it."
Madam Nancy was sitting opposite the desk, her charming eyes looking at Su Xiao. However, she now wished she could abandon her lady's demeanor, pounce forward, and scratch Su Xiao.
She, a dignified Execution Agency Legion Commander, after sleeping at home, inexplicably became a deputy.
"Watch your tone, Deputy Legion Commander Madam."
Su Xiao frowned and looked at Madam Nancy. He felt... this woman wanted to pounce and scratch him.
"Understood, Le, gion, Com, mander."
Madam Nancy calmed down. Although she was very angry, she was indeed a deputy.
"The previous cooperation continues?"
Su Xiao was referring to him killing ghosts, Madam Nancy paying equivalent Gold Le, and then taking the credit.
"Of course... continue."
"His Majesty said last night that Ignatz wanted to resign from the councilor position due to old age, and a seat has become vacant."
Su Xiao spoke seemingly unintentionally. Madam Nancy's eyes lit up.
"Really?"
"Who knows, at least that's what His Majesty said. Awakened cannot become councilors. You should know this. Moreover, I have no interest in becoming a councilor."
"Councilor is a good position."
Leaving this sentence, Madam Nancy left the office.
Su Xiao's gaze looked under the desk. Bonnie was hiding underneath. Don't know why, after meeting a few times, Bonnie had a mysterious fear of Madam Nancy. She was unwilling to reveal the specific situation.
"What have you deduced in the past few days."
"Many things, for example..."
While listening to Bonnie's narration, Su Xiao checked the previous prompts from Reincarnation Paradise.
【Hunter has been promoted to Execution Agency Legion Commander. Your chance of obtaining Secret Code cards in this world has increased by 12%, and you have obtained the temporary ability 'Death Reversal (three times)'】
Death Reversal (Temporary Skill, X)
Effect: When a biological corpse has been dead for no more than 48 hours, you can reverse the death process of this corpse (the reversal process is five minutes).
Just after obtaining this ability, Su Xiao was shocked by the name of this ability. Death Reversal, what a heaven-defying ability. However, after looking at the skill effect, he discovered it was not as he imagined—that it could reverse his own death—but rather reverse the death process of a certain corpse. Of course, this ability was also very useful, especially in the current situation.
The completion degree of Su Xiao's promotion mission's first ring had already reached 31%. When it exceeded 60%, he could try to complete this mission.
Right now, the Ghost Ring organization had already shrunk back. After all, many contractors had beaten the Ghost Ring hard in the recent period. Just as Su Xiao was preparing to find the Ghost Ring by following a businessman, news suddenly came from Benny.
"Poop-scooper, listening to that silly dog, the mission is the Ghost Ring. I seem to have found the Ghost Ring's base camp. There are many ghosts here, at least several hundred. Poop-scooper, be careful, don't die, get ready and come again."
Seeing the message from Meow Benny, Su Xiao was quite surprised and immediately replied to Benny.
"Take photos."
Soon, Benny replied to the message.
"Okay, give this meow a few minutes."
A few minutes later, the first photo Su Xiao saw was Benny's meow face. This meow star person even knew that photos should be taken from bottom to top to make the face look smaller.
The second was several dozen ghosts arranged in several rows. An old ghost with a yellow face mask was giving an impassioned speech about something.
The third was a pitch-black metal pillar full of eyeballs. Meow Benny even marked "so disgusting" on the photo.
The fourth was a man with his upper body bare, wrapped in bandages, his face pale, reading a book. This man... was Sin! The severely injured Sin.
The benefits of having many people were reflected at this time. No, Benny didn't count as a person, but regardless, this treasure hunt had yielded an unexpected harvest.
According to Benny's description, this was on the east side of Zul City, underground in a residential area.
"At least several hundred."
Su Xiao didn't set off immediately. He was hesitating whether to mobilize all the Awakened of the Execution Agency to launch a large-scale encirclement of the ghost base camp. The problem was, if he did that, the risk would indeed be very low, but the killing profit and mission completion degree would also be low enough to make one speechless.
"Underground..."
Su Xiao pondered for a moment, stood up, and walked out of the office.
"Xiang Bubu, go notify Amu."
"Woof?"
"Benny found something."
"Woof??!"
Xiang Bubu Wang was very surprised. It had once suspected that Benny's only mission after entering the world was to wander around, treasure hunting was secondary. How many worlds had it been, that stupid meow only found some "scrap metal," and the Paradise Coins she earned were not as much as she lost.
Chengdong, beside a river in the city. The river water was clear, and naked children were playing in the river.
Su Xiao stood on a bridge. According to his observation, the Ghost Ring base camp was under the residential area in front.
"How much longer does the Seventh Unit need."
Reinhardt looked at his pocket watch: "Half an hour at most."
"Let them be as fast as possible. Notify the nearby peacekeepers. Forty minutes later, evacuate all civilians within one kilometer nearby."
Su Xiao jumped down from the bridge pier. Right now, as the Legion Commander of the Execution Agency, he certainly couldn't cause large-scale civilian casualties in the city.
"Understood."
Reinhardt walked away with his usual expression. This time, Su Xiao only brought the Eyeless squad. He was prepared to gamble on a big one. If it succeeded, the first ring of the promotion mission would be completed directly.
A breeze blew. Civilians passed by on the stone bridge from time to time. They would never think that under their residential houses, there were several hundred, or even more, man-eating monsters.
Just as Su Xiao was waiting for the Seventh Unit to arrive, four men and women walked past on the stone bridge. Their gazes met, and Su Xiao immediately judged that these were contractors. After all, the temperament of contractors was too special, and the higher the tier, the more so.
"This... friend, meeting is fate. Our missions don't conflict. To be precise, we can cooperate with each other and kill enemies based on our own abilities."
A male contractor wearing an ear stud and smiling spoke. Beside him were two women and one man. The other man was bald and very strong, and judging from the aura of the two women, one was a nurse, somewhat weak, and the other's aura was very cold, likely an assassination type.
"Let me introduce myself. I am Ear Stud, this is Butcher, and these two beauties are Elegy and Mandola."
Ear Stud still had that smiling expression. After all, it was four against one, so even if it was a physical negotiation, they had an absolute advantage. As for the names, one knew for sure they were fake names, not even code names.
"Kuku Lin."
Su Xiao wanted to know the purpose of these people. If they also discovered the Ghost Ring's base camp, then they would rely on their own abilities.
"Kuku Lin? Er, brother, have you discovered the traces of the Ghost Ring? If there is a 'too big' Ghost Ring stronghold, why don't we cooperate."
"There is one right under our feet."
As soon as Su Xiao's words fell, the smile on Ear Stud's face was no longer so friendly.
"Then I'll be blunt. Why don't we cooperate to keep this secret, and wait until we gather enough combat power to wipe this place out together."
It could be seen that Ear Stud actually had no hostility. Without a conflict of interest, most contractors could cooperate if they could. Even when Su Xiao was in the war world, he had cooperated with Solomon, Huru, and others.
"Brother, since you have already discovered the secret here, this is our team's contract. Why don't..."
Ear Stud's words stopped abruptly because he received two prompts from Reincarnation Paradise.
【Warning! You are attempting to invite the wearer of the 'Team Slaughterer' title to join your team.】
【Warning! The Team Slaughterer title is a special title obtained after killing a large adventure group leader. Please consider carefully whether to invite the other party to join the team.】
Ear Stud's cheek twitched, as if he had seen a ghost.
