Chapter 2439: A Dangerous New World

Inside the accessory shop, Su Xiao put Tang Hong into the blade bag. After taking two flashbangs from under the counter, he pulled up the rolling shutter door and went out into the night.

It was nine o'clock in the evening, and the street was pitch black. Because the place where Su Xiao lived was too remote, after seven o'clock in the evening, it was rarely visited by people.

The lights in Fatty Ma's shop next door were bright, and one could vaguely hear Fatty Ma's roars. Although Fatty Ma was a Feng Shui master, he also loved games. "If you're a brother, come and slash me~"

Ignoring the passionate Fatty Ma, Su Xiao leaped onto the roof of the small building. From the backpack behind Xiang Bubu Wang, he took out a spray bottle. A light red mist sprayed out, and a trail of footprints appeared on the roof.

Through these footprints, Su Xiao judged that the enemy's height was around 176–180cm, most likely male, leaning toward the melee type. Judging from the depth of the footprints, his strength and agility attributes were not low, and he had a certain degree of erosiveness, leaning toward corrosion, devouring, and assimilation characteristics.

"Woof."

Xiang Bubu Wang barked, meaning the general direction was locked. Baja flew into the high sky and began high-altitude reconnaissance.

Su Xiao leaped down from the roof and, according to Xiang Bubu Wang's tracking, headed toward the east of the city.

Half an hour later, Su Xiao stopped in a small alley. The smell of garbage spread here. This was a village-in-the-city within the small town. Most of the houses had been abandoned. At night, stray dogs and wild cats haunted this place. A few years ago, there were even incidents of stray dogs attacking people, but recently it had become much more stable.

Xiang Bubu Wang had already sneaked into a residential house. The previous intruder was nearby, and the opponent's scent was distributed in this area.

Before long, Xiang Bubu Wang returned. According to its reconnaissance, there was a male Qiyuezhe around thirty years old in the house. His aura was not weak, but his specific strength could not be determined for the time being.

Learning this news, Su Xiao leaped onto the courtyard wall next to the house and moved silently along the wall.

"Coming to my house in the middle of the night, not good, right?"

A male voice came from the house. Hearing this voice, Su Xiao took Tang Hong from the blade bag and threw the bag to Baja.

A man wearing big shorts and shirtless walked out of the pitch-black house. He scratched his messy hair, looking sleepy.

"So it's you. How about it? Do you want to come and join the 'gathering'?"

The sloppy man's expression was relaxed. After all, before looking for Su Xiao, he had already investigated. Su Xiao, known as the Head-Slicing Night, was Sixth Tier, and hadn't been promoted to Sixth Tier for long.

The gathering the sloppy man spoke of was actually a loose organization established by Qiyuezhe, a loose organization that coexisted peacefully with the Cleaners.

The strength of the Cleaners had always been a mystery. They adhered to the principle of appeasing if possible, and only using force if they really couldn't appease.

"Bringing a blade to find me? Could it be that you want to fight me here? Your brain has..."

With a bang, the courtyard wall shattered, and Su Xiao suddenly disappeared. When he appeared again, he was already in front of the sloppy man.

"!"

The sloppy man's eyes widened suddenly. The enemy's speed was simply ridiculously fast. Not to mention without equipment bonuses, even with them, it shouldn't be this fast.

"You damn..."

As the sloppy man spoke, a heavy pressure spread around him. As the face responsible for 'negotiating' with Fifth and Sixth Tier Qiyuezhe, he was of course not a soft persimmon.

Boom!

Air waves spread, and Su Xiao kicked the sloppy man directly in the abdomen. The enemy's speed was too slow.

"Wait..."

The sloppy man began to panic. The person who came didn't speak at all; the moment he appeared, he wanted to take his life. He had originally wanted to intimidate him a bit and then profit from it. He had used this method too many times. Almost all Fifth or Sixth Tier Qiyuezhe would talk first. They wouldn't provoke those lunatics who couldn't be negotiated with at all.

Psh.

Blood splattered, and a headless corpse took a few steps back, finally lying on the ground with a thud.

Too weak, so weak that it surprised Su Xiao. A Seventh Tier Qiyuezhe shouldn't be this weak. Even without the bonuses of equipment and active skills, this strength was too weak.

Flicking the blood off the blade, Su Xiao walked out of the small courtyard. He wasn't worried about retaliation or anything like that. People who could do such things wouldn't be the kind of lunatics who would fight to the death. Even if they came for retaliation, he wouldn't fear them.

On the contrary, if he acted as if nothing had happened, there would be endless trouble. The kind are bullied by others; doing nothing is just enduring.

Putting Tang Hong into the blade bag, Su Xiao walked out of the small courtyard. The Cleaners would come to handle the aftermath here.

When Su Xiao returned to the accessory shop, it was already 12 o'clock in the middle of the night. On the way back, he met the Cleaners. The Cleaners were clearly in a good mood. They had long been unhappy with that loose organization, and now that organization had finally stepped on a landmine.

Returning to the accessory shop, Su Xiao placed the blade on the coffee table, beside the cup of instant noodles with only soup left.

Ding-a-ling~

The shop door was pushed open, and a man in black carrying a large bag walked into the accessory shop.

Seeing the cup of noodles with only soup left on the coffee table, blue veins bulged on the man in black's forehead.

"To be honest, our gathering is actually not bad, at least not as stupid as you imagine."

The man in black sat opposite Su Xiao. He picked up the cup of noodles on the coffee table and threw it into the large cloth bag beside his feet.

"This idiot... this unlucky ghost sometimes gets confused. Of course, this also has to do with his greed. If he becomes your recommender, he can take a 20% cut from your first three intelligence trades. He has done this kind of broken thing more than once. The reputation of the Secret Gathering will be ruined sooner or later."

The man in black took out a box of cigarettes, pulled out two, and gestured with his chin toward Su Xiao. Su Xiao waved his hand to refuse.

"Really not considering it? In the Secret Gathering, you can buy a lot of intelligence on native worlds. We also provide Paradise Coins for Soul Coins, at 163,000 to 1."

"I was interested before, but not now."

"Hey, having too many people is really a pain. Leaving, brother. No one will come to you for retaliation. Forgot to say, my name is Greedy Wolf."

The man in black carried the large cloth bag and walked out of the accessory shop. When he reached the door, he suddenly stopped.

"Really not considering it? The few Sixth Tier girls in the Secret Gathering are quite good, just a bit fierce. That temperament of Sixth Tier girls, tsk tsk~"

"..."

"Leaving, leaving."

The man in black left with a smile. After leaving the accessory shop, he took out his phone and dialed.

"Yeah, it's settled. That idiot Dead Fish sneaked into someone's house and even ate a cup of noodles. Hey, it's none of the other person's business. If it were me, I'd also go and deal with Dead Fish. But the code name he chose really suits him; now he's a dead fish, haha. Good, good, I'll go back after disposing of Dead Fish's corpse. Don't worry, yeah, hung up. I'll talk to this brother again later. This brother is as strong as a monster. He killed Dead Fish with one slash. I suspect those three wouldn't be able to deal with him in the real world... Of course, I'm not exaggerating, yeah, good, hung up."

The man in black hung up the phone, glanced at the accessory shop behind him, and slowly disappeared into the night. He felt very regretful. If he had been the one to negotiate, the Secret Gathering would definitely have gained another ruthless person.

Not long after the man in black left, Peacock, the representative of the Cleaners in this area, arrived. She looked at the accessory shop across the street, took out a small mirror to touch up her makeup, and took a few deep breaths before walking toward the accessory shop.

From today on, the area around this accessory shop was a forbidden zone in the circle of Seventh Tier Qiyuezhe. In the mission world, some of them were indeed stronger than Su Xiao, but here, no one was Su Xiao's opponent.

By the time the negotiation with the regional representative of the Cleaners was finished, it was already one o'clock in the middle of the night. Su Xiao's peaceful real life began again.

Time passed unconsciously. In the real world, besides occasionally going to a nearby small river to fish, Su Xiao spent his time in the shop playing puzzle games. He had already cleared 90% of this game. The remaining 10% was so difficult that it was almost impossible to clear, but this didn't mean it couldn't be cleared.

The afternoon sun was exceptionally bright. Su Xiao sat cross-legged on the bed on the second floor of the accessory shop, the sunlight streaming in through the gaps in the curtains. He was engaged in his daily meditation. According to his estimation, his time remaining in the real world was almost up.

Sure enough, just as Su Xiao finished his meditation, the Reincarnation Paradise hint appeared.

【The Hunter's stay limit has reached its limit. You are about to return to Reincarnation Paradise.】

【The Hunter is about to enter a new world.】

【World selected. This world's characteristics are extremely special. 5 Hunters have already died in this world.】

【You have obtained Honor Resurrection Potion (Sixth Tier) x5.】

【Honor Resurrection Potion (Sixth Tier): After use, immediately restore 100% HP and 100% Mana, and rapidly restore physical injuries, such as severe organ damage, minor brain tissue damage, severe penetrating wounds, etc.】

【You have obtained Warrior's Clan Badge (Special Item). Holding this item can increase the Hunter's initial status upon entering this world.】

【There are no permanent spatial coordinates in this world. The location of the World Core is unknown. There are only fifteen temporary spatial coordinates, belonging to: Reincarnation Paradise, Apocalypse Paradise, Death Paradise, Sanctuary Paradise.】

【A large number of Rule-Breakers have invaded this world. In this world, a total of 5 Hunters (Seventh Tier, Reincarnation Paradise), 16 Battle Angels (Seventh Tier, Apocalypse Paradise), 7 Pioneers (Seventh Tier, Sanctuary Paradise), and 6 Rangers/Punishment Knights (Seventh Tier, Death Paradise) have died in battle.】

【The Hunter will enter this world. Currently, only 1 Rule-Breaker is located in this world. It is estimated that 10 to??? natural days later, 3 Seventh Tier Rule-Breakers will return to this world.】

【The Hunter must purge all Rule-Breakers! After completing the purge, you must find the Halberd of Danis before the Battle Angels, Pioneers, and Rangers/Punishment Knights, and bring it back to Reincarnation Paradise.】

【Hint: There is no penalty for failing to find the Halberd of Danis.】 ===== CHAPTER 2440 =====
