Chapter 2648: Hidden Objects

There was quite a lot of world data. After Su Xiao reviewed it, he roughly understood the situation of this world. Ignoring the historical changes, the main content was not much: East Valley Federation, Watcher Guild, Night Watchers, Dark Demons, Phantoms, and an unknown place, the Dark Prison.

The Dark Prison was a part of this world, but it was separated. It was originally in an independent state, but at this time, it was merging with this world. The Dark Demons and Phantoms would definitely appear one after another.

And the so-called East Valley Federation was actually a power organization that appeared after several kingdoms and duchies united. This power organization was not independent. The kings of the kingdoms or the grand dukes of the duchies were all councilors of the East Valley Federation. If there were any major decisions, they would be conducted in the form of a parliament. Su Xiao was in the Watcher Guild faction and would have contact with the East Valley Federation, but not too much.

Compared to other countries, the King of the Rhine Kingdom was very visionary. This king completely separated civilians from transcendence. The power system of the kingdom only managed the military, finance, people's livelihood, etc., and the management of transcendence was handed over to the Watcher Guild.

After this decision was issued, the economy of the Rhine Kingdom prospered rapidly. It was difficult for civilians to come into contact with transcendent events. Even if they did, they would be taken over by local police officers, and then the Watcher Guild would be notified to send hunters to handle the transcendent events.

This management method was soon imitated by other countries because this method was indeed easy to use. Once transcendent knowledge was popularized, civilians would create some strange things out of curiosity. The most famous incident was that a teenager in his teens, wanting to obtain transcendent power, used his own blood to "construct an array" and then summoned an unknown existence.

That was not a Dark Demon or a Phantom, but something even bigger, not even a creature of this world. The file of this incident was still sealed at this time, and the detailed situation was top secret. In the incident, 129 Night Watchers died in battle, 128,527 civilians died, more than 300,000 civilians were injured, a large number of buildings were destroyed, and conservatively estimated, the loss was more than 25.3 billion Schillers (1 Schiller can buy a pack of low-to-medium grade cigarettes).

This was the consequence of popularizing transcendence to everyone. Even if one really wanted to popularize it, one had to completely control this power and have a perfect system. Clearly, this world could not control the transcendent power from the Dark Prison at all.

Standing up from the steps, Su Xiao walked east along the street according to the coordinates given by Reincarnation Paradise. He had to arrive at the Shelter first.

The so-called Shelter was the place where Night Watchers replenished supplies. Each city-level area had one. Basic supplies were free of charge, provided by the Watcher Guild, and there was a supervisory department in charge to prevent the Shelter manager from embezzling supplies.

Mentioning Night Watchers, these nameless people who acted at night were actually very interesting. Night Watcher was just their initial name. After the Gate of Dark Prison was closed, the number of Dark Demons and Phantoms dropped sharply, and most of them appeared near cemeteries. Therefore, at that time, Night Watchers all became grave keepers.

With the progress of the era, various countries began to cremate corpses, avoiding frequent transcendent events. Grave keepers discovered in a daze that there were not many transcendent events near the cemeteries, and they left the cemeteries one after another.

To this day, the names of Night Watcher and grave keeper have become things of the past. The high-level kings and the Watcher Guild collectively refer to these people as hunters, hunters who hunt transcendent monsters in the dark night.

Please don't think that only Dark Demons and Phantoms are the only sources of danger. Some causes of transcendent events come from curiosity. When the situation becomes uncontrollable, hunters arrive. After they see those monsters, they can't help but suspect in their hearts whether the Dark Demons and Phantoms have evolved or mutated. The "things" in front of them are things they have never heard of.

Walking for three blocks, Su Xiao found that the street was getting narrower and narrower. In the end, it was less than four meters wide. The buildings on both sides were getting older and older, and the wall skin was peeling off in large areas. This was arriving at the slum of Sodo City.

When the sky darkened, Su Xiao stopped in front of the gap between two three-story buildings. There was a set of steps going up here.

Walking up the steps, he soon reached the end. In front and on the right were walls, and on the left was a double-opening door. The glass on the door was stained with dirt, and posters were pasted on the inside of the glass.

Su Xiao took out a bunch of keys from under the doormat in front of the door, tried them one by one, and soon opened the door.

The Shelter was dim, and snoring could be vaguely heard. Su Xiao pressed the switch on the wall, and the lights in the room turned on.

Round stools were placed everywhere, very messy. In the corner against the right wall on the inside, there was a semicircular wooden table, which just surrounded a corner of the room. This occupied one-fifth of the entire room. Behind the wooden table were seats, and further back were very high display cabinets, on which many strange things were displayed.

And on the wooden table, an old-fashioned telephone was placed, the kind with rotary dialing, and all kinds of sundries were piled up nearby.

At this time, a figure wearing a bloated metal helmet and bloated armor was sitting on the seat of the wooden table. This attire would definitely have a 100% head-turning rate on the street.

The bloated man had one foot on the wooden table, snoring under the oval helmet, sleeping very soundly. Su Xiao stepped forward, habitually restraining his aura.

Su Xiao had just approached within five meters of the wooden table when the snoring in front stopped abruptly.

"Hmm~, hmm, fell asleep, fortunately didn't sleep until evening, seems like I drank fake wine again, more and more profiteers."

After the bloated man, who was drunk on fake wine, recovered for a moment, his eyes under the helmet looked at Su Xiao.

"Hmm~, waited for you for a long time."

Armor clashed, the bloated man stood up and walked out of the Shelter.

"This Shelter is handed over to you. The floor below is the warehouse, and there are six bedrooms on the third floor above. Open that door, and it leads to the stairs upstairs and downstairs. Also, power outage tomorrow."

The bloated man pointed to a wooden door on the right wall, indicating that there were stairs behind the door, and then walked out of the Shelter.

"One more thing, in a while or later, a few hunters will come, all newcomers, be friendly to them. I know your temper."

After leaving this sentence, the bloated man left, but before leaving, he squatted in front of Xiang Bubu Wang and smiled kindly at Xiang Bubu Wang.

【Eld's Recommendation Letter has been consumed, using this letter as a medium, disguise successful.】

Su Xiao raised his hand to observe himself. His clothing did not change, and he turned his head to look at the mirror on the wall. His appearance did not change either.

Pushing open the movable baffle to get behind the wooden table, Su Xiao sat on the chair. There was nothing valuable on the table. Pulling open the metal baffle on the lower inside of the wooden table, there were several rows of potions of different colors, as well as various portable weapons.
