Chapter 1737: Angry Gulu
Elegy looked at Su Xiao with a smile, showing no guilt for betraying Mr. J. Or rather, in this native world full of crises, betraying friendly forces was common, not to mention that Mr. J was already a hostile force.
"Reinhardt."
Su Xiao broke the silence. As soon as he finished speaking, Reinhardt, wearing a high-collar priest robe, walked up the stairs.
"Master, I am here."
"Slaughter her."
"As you command."
Reinhardt squatted on the ground, pressing one hand on the floor.
Zzz~
Blue-white electric arcs spread, enveloping Elegy. Strong current penetrated her body, but she stood still.
"That means... it's a deal? Since that's the case, I'll give you an extra piece of intelligence. His name is Mr. J, other things unknown. Wish you two old schemers a happy time scheming against each other."
Faces of crying and howling appeared around Elegy. Her figure gradually faded, and the current spread.
Outside the abandoned apartment, Elegy appeared out of thin air, and the smile on her face gradually disappeared.
"Truly vigilant. However, he didn't make a move from beginning to end. Even if severely injured, he wouldn't be so weak that he couldn't make a move. And he also met with the National Football team. Hmm, there's no problem here. Next, I have to find a way to deal with Mr. J's side."
Elegy hummed a song and walked away. As for the grudges being cleared that she mentioned earlier, perhaps even she herself didn't believe it. That was a probe—a probe to see how weak Su Xiao was. If Su Xiao had agreed to that transaction directly, Elegy would have made a move the next moment. This was her style: bullying the weak. If the negotiating party was strong enough, she would talk calmly; if they were weaker than her, then prepare to be swallowed by her.
Inside the abandoned apartment, Su Xiao looked at the virtual image that was gradually dissipating in mid-air. He didn't believe the intelligence provided by Elegy, but this intelligence could be used as an inaccurate reference to avoid being misled.
Reinhardt stood up. His hand was twitching unconsciously; this was the aftereffect of releasing current. Most Awakened ones' abilities had significant side effects, such as Gus's impulsive irritability, Old Hank's creepy hobbies, etc.
"Master, should I pursue?"
"No need. Let her go. Join the Seventh Department to issue a wanted notice."
"What is the specific content of the wanted notice?"
"Suspected destroyer of the Imperial Cemetery. Remember, it's suspected. The bounty is to be determined."
"Yes."
Reinhardt didn't ask more and walked away quickly.
Su Xiao naturally wouldn't cooperate with Elegy. In his view, since Elegy would betray 'Mr. J', she could also betray him. And the other party was indeed not bluffing. If the thick darkness in her body were released, heaven knows what it would become.
Negotiation was like this; one must never be cowardly. Negotiating from a hostile standpoint, even if agreeing to a transaction, one couldn't agree directly, because that would show one's own weakness or flaws. At that time, the negotiation could develop into a life-and-death struggle.
Letting the Execution Agency + Seventh Department issue a wanted notice for Elegy, Elegy would definitely not have a good time. In this way, even if she had any schemes, she would be greatly hindered.
"Mr. J, Ghost Ring, Eye Chamber..."
Su Xiao muttered, stepped toward the outside of the apartment. He felt there was no need to waste energy searching for that 'Mr. J'. Judging from the current situation, the other party was absolutely related to the Ghost Ring. After that, just aim at the Ghost Ring organization. He had already stepped the Ghost Ring into the dirt earlier, and next was to continue hammering. It was very likely that after hammering, Mr. J and Sin couldn't bear it and would take the initiative to jump out.
……
7:00 PM that night, the far west side of Zuer City, Black Cross Street.
Black Cross Street was the most special street in Zuer City. Its area was almost the size of a small town, belonging to a town within the city.
Although it was a cool summer night, there was a strange smell in the air of Black Cross Street. There were 2 paper mills, 5 chemical plants, and 3 lead-zinc smelting workshops distributed here (Lead-zinc: used to make high-strength cold weapons, the most mainstream cold weapon manufacturing method for Awakened ones).
With these factories here, the environment of Black Cross Street would only be worse, but no one cared about this. Black Cross Street was actually a slum in Zuer City. These heavy-pollution factories provided a large number of jobs, so the poor here wouldn't starve to death, but their lifespans rarely reached over 40 years old.
No underground drainage system meant the streets here were very dirty. What was more fatal was that there was no Security Department here. The Security Department would only be stationed on the outskirts of Black Cross Street, surrounding it. Except for regular patrols and inspections, this place was actually a cage. It was easy to get in, but if one wanted to get out, one needed the approval of four departments, including the inspection department and the Security Department.
No Security Department didn't mean Black Cross Street was completely disorderly. Two royal families controlled this place. Although the poor living here were poor, it didn't mean Black Cross Street had no output. Just the lead-zinc business alone made people jealous.
But even so, the crime rate here was still shockingly high. Harold had tried to clean up this place, but gave up after cleaning only half of it. He couldn't wipe out all the residents in Black Cross Street, but placing them in other areas of Zuer City led to a surge in crime rates in every area.
Therefore, Harold gave up and treated this place as a garbage dump. Heavy-pollution factories, criminals who had just been released after committing heinous crimes, etc., were all dumped here, keeping the danger in a controllable state.
Zuer City needed Black Cross Street, and the poor also needed Black Cross Street, so it existed to this day. For ordinary civilians, this place was a forbidden zone. Walking on Black Cross Street at night, one might be robbed or shot because of a little pocket money.
And now, a large number of Awakened ones were pouring into Black Cross Street. This was the place most likely to hide Phantoms and the place where the Ghost Ring organization was most likely to appear.
As the night deepened, in front of a bar named "Mad Dog", a bald, burly man wearing a brown vest and full of sweat odor stood in front of the door.
Angry curses and smashing sounds came faintly from the bar. The bald, burly man didn't care at all. He took a bright red crystal out of his pants pocket and threw it directly into his mouth.
Soon, the bald, burly man leaned against the wall, his expression smiling but not smiling. That bright red crystal was none other than Red Ore. Red Ore had flowed into Black Cross Street; this was caused by the assassination of the two councilors.
Just as the bald, burly man was squinting and enjoying the hallucinogenic effect brought by the Red Ore, a little girl wearing a red dress with fair and tender skin walked over. Her eyes were very bright, like two black gems.
"Get lost, go home and drink milk."
The bald, burly man laughed foolishly, and the little girl had already walked in front of him.
"I'll let you..."
Pfft!
Drops of blood splashed. The little girl wearing the red dress continued to walk forward, and blood dripped along her fingernails. The bald, burly man covered his throat with both hands, and blood sprayed from between his fingers. That Red Ore stained with blood slid out of his mouth. Until he died, he was still laughing.
Pushing open the door of the tavern, the smell of tobacco mixed with alcohol + sweat odor made the little girl cover her nose and mouth. She intended to squeeze into the crowd, but those guests who were partying were clearly already high. If it were just Red Ore, it wouldn't have this effect. Red Ore was a sedative, not a stimulant.
The little girl who entered the tavern was Gulu. At this moment, she covered her nose and mouth with one hand, her brows tightly furrowed.
"Move aside!!"
Gulu shouted, however...
"Hahaha."
"I see the sun! The sun!"
Unclear shouts came one after another. Gulu jumped up, grabbed the long hair of a young girl, and brought the other party's face close to her own.
"What is this inhaled? The nervous system is all disordered. At most twice more, it will definitely become mentally retarded. And... there is some energy affecting these people. Forget it, I'm angry."
Gulu threw away the young girl. Red light flickered in her eyes. The long dagger tied to her thigh floated up and split into four handleless daggers with lighter edges.
Whoosh!
Four long daggers the width of a finger flew into the crowd. The thin daggers cut in all directions. The next moment, limbs and blood splashed.
20 seconds later, Gulu's little hand lifted her skirt, walking on tiptoe past the limbs and flesh on the ground.
Thump, thump, thump.
Gulu knocked on the bar counter, and crying sounds immediately came from inside.
"I have two children, please, please don't kill me. Let me do anything, woo, I don't know where those red stones came from either. The money is all here, take it all."
The bartender's voice came with a crying tone. Gulu jumped and jumped; the bar counter was too high.
"You get out! Otherwise, I'll chop you up in three seconds."
Clang~
Four thin daggers floated above Gulu's head, with blood-colored energy faintly flickering on the edges.
The bartender, shivering into a ball, stood up, still raising his hands high.
"I ask you, August Garfield Pat... Pat what... what a ghost name."
Gulu took out a note, glanced at it, and continued: "Did Patster come here tonight?"
"He, he came. He came at noon today."
"And then?"
Gulu waved her finger, and a thin-edged dagger pressed against the bartender's throat, the tip of the blade pressed tightly against the skin. This was a new ability Gulu had mastered recently, or rather, the ultimate ability of her profession had awakened. Although it only awakened by 3%, it was unusually powerful.
"What is this strange smell?"
Gulu turned her head to look at the wall inside the bar counter. There was a secret door there. Just at this moment, the fear on the bartender's face inside the bar counter gradually disappeared. His body began to swell, and in an instant, he turned into a ten-eyed Phantom.
"Didn't see it, you're actually a little boss. Your acting is not bad."
As soon as Gulu finished speaking, the three thin-edged daggers above her turned into afterimages, pinning the ten-eyed Phantom to the wall. All three thin-edged daggers pierced through the skull. The distance was too close, and the ten-eyed Phantom was instantly killed by Gulu.
With a snap, wood chips splashed. Gulu stood in front of the door hole and received a prompt from Reincarnation Paradise.
【Some Qiyuezhe has found the Eye Chamber (2).】
【Some Qiyuezhe has found the Eye Chamber (6).】
Seeing the prompt from Reincarnation Paradise, Gulu's mouth curled up: "Wow, haha." ===== CHAPTER 1738 =====
Seeing the prompt from Reincarnation Paradise, Gulu's mouth curled up: "Wow oh~, haha."
