Chapter 1879

~9 min read 1,638 words

In the pitch-black secret room, a small lighting device like a button emitted white light. This thing cost 70 Paradise Coins each and could only be used for lighting, but it wouldn't emit heat, electrical induction, etc., and could have a very good concealment effect.

After waiting for about ten minutes, Su Xiao confirmed that the white-haired woman had been led away by Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang. He took out a silver metal bracket from his storage space.

This bracket had three parts and looked like a super simple exoskeleton. In fact, it was a "Yili Dark Bone Correction Device" produced in the Void, which could correct fractured bones outside the body and had a significant effect on leg bone, rib, and arm bone fractures. This thing was exchanged by Su Xiao with the mechanical girl using 【Memory Erasure Spray (Gold Prop)】, and he hadn't been willing to use it before.

Click, click~

The silver-white device clung to Su Xiao's body, and micro-suction cups fitted onto his chest, beginning to detect his bone fractures.

Half an hour later, the silver-white device detached from Su Xiao's body surface. This thing was one-time use and completely scrapped after use.

A few tiny wounds could be seen on Su Xiao's chest. For bone correction, this was already minimally invasive.

A metal injection gun appeared in Su Xiao's hand. He performed an intramuscular injection directly on his chest, and his numb chest cavity gradually regained sensation.

Su Xiao took a deep breath. His internal organs still throbbed with pain, but he had already escaped the state of serious injury. Potions plus his self-healing ability would allow him to recover his combat power within a few hours.

Although the cost of fighting the white-haired woman was somewhat high, Su Xiao had successfully entered the central area of the Dead Silence City.

The good news now is that Su Xiao is not far from the 'Sacrificial Altar'. With the Dark Source he has obtained, he can completely go to improve his talent ability.

The bad news is that the team has been scattered. The Old Monk left the team to cover the rear at the beginning. As for Amu and Veronique, their whereabouts are also unknown.

After entering the central area of the Dead Silence City, the team channel seemed to be interfered with by signals, and he couldn't contact Amu at all. If it weren't for Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang accidentally discovering this secret room while penetrating the wall, he and Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang might have also been separated.

There was no problem with Amu, after all, there was Veronique, the living silencer, and Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang had already gone to find Amu. The central area wasn't big, and it wouldn't take long to find them.

What Su Xiao needs to do now is to heal his wounds and wait, and perfect his revenge plan. Compared to feeling relieved, he wants to know more about what benefits he can obtain after killing that white-haired woman. If killing doesn't work, he will change to another more unscrupulous way. That kind of thing, Su Xiao hasn't done it for the first time.

Su Xiao waited for nearly two hours before Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang penetrated the wall and appeared.

"Found Amu?"

"Woof~"

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's dog face was somewhat tangled. It had indeed found Amu, but the other party's situation wasn't good.

According to Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's description, Su Xiao learned that after Amu rushed into the central area of the Dead Silence City with Veronique, it accidentally entered a building that looked very inconspicuous, and then something unexpected happened.

Inside that building were five residents of the Dead Silence City wearing black robes and crow masks. They were extremely similar to the dress of medieval doctors.

These five crow doctors were very strong, and they didn't know what method they used to subdue Amu and Veronique, but they didn't kill the two of them, but wanted to "treat" them.

"Crow mask, treatment..."

Su Xiao took out the map. In the center of the map, there were two x's drawn with blood. These two buildings were the Supreme Sanctuary and the Treatment Institute, respectively.

The representative pattern of the Supreme Sanctuary was a round emblem, while the Treatment Institute was a crow.

"That should be... the Treatment Institute."

Su Xiao stood up. Judging from the Old Monk's hint, the Treatment Institute was a very dangerous place.

"What is their situation now?"

"Woof."

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang shook its head, meaning that Amu and Veronique were in no danger for a short time, but they weren't safe either. The "treatment" of those crow doctors was definitely not a good thing.

"Let's go take a look."

Su Xiao pushed open the secret door of the secret room. After confirming that there was no danger outside, he came to the side of the building where he was. Still with Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang clearing the way, he headed toward the Treatment Institute.

The central area of the Dead Silence City was quieter. Most of the buildings here had no residents, or rather, those qualified to live here were all big figures who had once been in the Dead Silence City, each of them boss-level.

The diameter of the entire central area was about five kilometers, not small, but there weren't many buildings here, and each building had an emblem, which should have a unique meaning.

Although the central area was more dangerous, the chance of encountering enemies was also much smaller. Until Su Xiao arrived near the Treatment Institute, he hadn't encountered many residents of the Dead Silence City.

The Treatment Institute was a three-story stone building. The rock walls were severely weathered, and the circular edges weathered out looked like they would shatter at a touch, but in reality, they were sharper than knives.

Su Xiao completely restrained his aura. Although he couldn't perceive the enemy by doing this, the enemy couldn't easily perceive him either.

Standing in front of the outer wall of the Treatment Institute, Su Xiao looked into the first floor through the broken glass window. All kinds of strange instruments came into view, such as rubber infusion bags filled with unknown liquids, all kinds of treatment instruments resembling torture devices, iron helmets used for craniotomy, bone-pulling forceps, etc.

On the operating table covered in bloodstains, a resident of the Dead Silence City was sitting there, holding its own intestines in one hand, and a thick infusion needle was stuck in its other arm. Looking at its appearance, it looked very much like a patient waiting to register.

Nothing was found on the first floor. Su Xiao signaled Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang to go to the second floor to observe. Soon, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's head poked out from the second-floor window, signaling no danger.

Su Xiao climbed from the outer wall to the second floor. The windows on the second floor were relatively intact. Following the window that Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang had already opened, Su Xiao jumped lightly into the second floor. Just after entering here, he felt a blur before his eyes, and his consciousness became blurred for an instant, but it returned to normal immediately.

Everywhere he looked, there were huge glass columns filled with light green solution. Inside these solutions, many mini Tree-Eaters about one meter tall were soaking. This kind of patrol guard was actually artificially created by the Treatment Institute.

A wooden table filled with test tubes and parchment caught Su Xiao's attention. This wooden table was placed against the wall, at least five meters long. Strange test tubes and beakers were placed on it, and on the right side of the wooden table, more than a dozen stacks of parchment were neatly placed.

Su Xiao picked up one of them, but he couldn't understand the words on it at all. However, another stack of parchment was written in ancient characters that were widely circulated on the continent, which Su Xiao could understand.

The records on the parchment were as follows:

'Have we really lost hope? The King of the living will not be cut off, and the bloodline of Adgesh will not be cut off. Once a new King appears, we will have to continue waiting for three hundred years. Three hundred years later, another three hundred years, endless. Adgesh, this traitor who should go to the abyss, without us, he is just a drifter on the sea. This despicable traitor, he was clearly one of us. Do we, the people of death, have no right to breathe the air on the continent? Do we... have no qualification to live?'

'Success. This little thing actually has the characteristic of being alive, but why did it grow tree roots? Might as well call it Tree-Eater.'

'Success again. We did not live up to the high expectations of the Supreme Sanctuary. The newborn is female, and the characteristic of being alive is stronger. But why is her hair white? But this is not important. Seventeen days after birth, she could lift a Tree-Eater, and even thought about bullying Ataya, and was finally beaten to tears by Ataya. After the deliberation of the five of us, we named her Moon Girl, the silver moon illuminating the Dead Silence City. The little guy seemed somewhat unhappy and smashed half of my head with one punch. What a cute little guy.'

'Time is running out. The remaining sanity is gradually disappearing. Am I also going to be assimilated? In the end, we still failed. Lahan, you chose to stand on the side of the Black King, but one day you will come back. I hope you... can heal the Dead Silence City. The residents here are innocent; they just want to live. Is this also a crime?'
