Chapter 2662: Fog City

In VIP cabin No. 3, the scenery outside the window flew by. The silver-haired hunter lay on the ground, having completely lost his life, a large pool of blood flowing beneath him.

The silver-haired hunter's other details were unknown; Su Xiao only knew that this was an Old Hunter. It was very difficult to impersonate a hunter; a hunter's unique aura could not be faked just by wearing a black trench coat.

A short blade with a thin edge flipped between Su Xiao's fingers, almost creating an afterimage. Other things aside, this blade was quite good. Not only was its penetration power formidable, but one-fifth of this blade was tempered from crystals.

With Su Xiao's alchemy and supernatural item sensing, just one glance told him that this kind of crystal was highly toxic. In other words, after this blade stabbed into a human body, one-fifth of the crystals would fuse with the blood, causing the highly toxic substance to invade the body, eventually leading to death.

Picking up the file bag on the ground and opening it, Su Xiao found 13 hunter badges inside, 4 silver and 9 black, none of which contained World Power.

Something went wrong with the Watcher Guild, but it wasn't a big problem. Based on Su Xiao's judgment, he felt that this silver-haired hunter was following the orders of a certain high-level member of the Watcher Guild, which was why he came to assassinate him. But that person could not represent the entire Watcher Guild.

What could be ruled out was that this matter was not instigated by Haogui. Haogui truly didn't have that kind of intelligence. It wasn't that he looked down on Haogui; that guy had put all his 'skill points' into combat-type abilities. If he could use his hands, that guy would never use his brain.

Thud~

Just as someone knocked on the VIP cabin door, the unlocked door opened by itself. The stewardess stood in the aisle in front of the door, still maintaining the knocking posture.

A strong smell of blood rushed to her face. The stewardess was stunned on the spot; this was her brain going blank from being too scared.

"Shh~"

Baja held its wing in front of its mouth, signaling the stewardess not to scream. Just as the stewardess hadn't recovered, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang nudged her from behind, and she stumbled into the VIP cabin.

Bang!

Amu's large hand pushed and closed the door, even leaving handprints on the metal door.

"Little girl, don't be nervous, we aren't bad people, at least not right now."

As Baja spoke, it signaled Amu to dispose of the corpse.

Crackle, crackle~

Frost spread, freezing the silver-haired hunter's corpse and the blood on the ground completely. Amu pulled hard, and with a 'crack', pulled a large chunk of ice off the carriage floor. The floor was as clean as new, and not a trace of blood could be seen. Baja jumped forward, its figure flashed, and it disappeared along with the silver-haired hunter's corpse. The whole process was smooth and extremely proficient.

With a 'thump', the stewardess knelt on the ground, her legs already weak. The situation in front of her had already exceeded her scope of acceptance.

Before long, Baja returned. It took out more than a dozen types of credentials from the team space, coaxing and deceiving the stewardess until she nodded repeatedly.

"Is that clear? That was a spy from the 'Niyer Principality' just now. Someone will talk to you later. Don't be nervous, just sign a confidentiality agreement."

Baja put away all the credentials, and the stewardess nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

"Stay calm and continue with your work."

"Mm, mm, mm."

The stewardess leaned against the wall, stood up somewhat reluctantly, and left the VIP cabin.

"Boss, I'm getting more and more handy at handling this kind of thing..."

Baja hadn't finished speaking.

"Murder!!"

A scream came from outside the door. It was that brave stewardess. In her view, Su Xiao wasn't a good person, Amu looked a bit like a monster, and Baja wasn't a good bird.

"Damn it~!"

Baja was so angry it almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. It had just finished acting cool, and the next second it was slapped in the face.

One hour later, at the steam train station in 'Yisinger City', a steam train entered the station. Su Xiao walked off the first carriage. He didn't encounter any trouble. The conductor of this steam train was very experienced. After understanding the basic situation, he quickly handled the matter.

Just as he walked off the train, Su Xiao saw a vast expanse of thick fog. The air became a bit fresher due to the arrival of the thick fog.

The foggy weather in 'Yisinger City' was famous. Sometimes a thick fog would last for days or even half a month, and the longest one lasted for nearly 37 days. Therefore, it was also known as Fog City. If the place name 'Yisinger' was mentioned, most Rhine people would have question marks all over their heads, but if 'Fog City' was mentioned, people would immediately remember where it was.

There were many pedestrians in the station. Fog City, Yisinger, was one of the main garrison points of the Watcher Guild. The foggy weather was very suitable for Dark Demons and Ghosts to hunt, but under the suppression of the Watcher Guild, Fog City, Yisinger, had already become one of the three safest cities in the Rhine Kingdom.

When Su Xiao passed by the newsstand in the station, he took out a Schiller to buy a newspaper. Before the vendor could give him change, he had already walked into the fog.

Su Xiao's purpose in coming to Fog City was simple: to recover the two relics here. The current owners of these two relics were a wealthy merchant and a pianist. This pianist was not only famous in the Rhine Kingdom but also had great fame throughout the Federation, with countless titles.

Su Xiao prepared to go find the wealthy merchant first. Walking in the thick fog, he began to read the newspaper in his hand. He hadn't missed any recent newspapers; this was one of the means of collecting intelligence.

The Genter factory explosion case and the wanderers in the thick fog occupied most of the newspaper's pages. Su Xiao continued to read down, and when he saw the third news item, his footsteps paused. The newspaper wrote: 'Female police officer Vina was murdered in Sodo City this morning, and this case is under investigation.'

Su Xiao was somewhat familiar with the name Vina. After thinking for a moment, he remembered that this was the little follower of Detective Douglas. Last time when fighting the Gluttonous Dark Demon, the other party was watching the battle nearby. From the conversation between the two, Douglas and Vina were not just in a superior-subordinate relationship, but more like an elder and a junior.

"Baja, Douglas contacted the shelter this morning, right?"

"He did. One of his subordinates died, and he wanted to use the Watcher Guild's intelligence channels to track down the murderer. Although this is against the rules, I helped him report it. The result is not clear yet. Douglas has no relatives, and that dead subordinate was very important to him. Judging by his voice, he was very depressed, as if his daughter had died."

"Is that so."

Su Xiao folded the newspaper in his hand and threw it into the trash can by the side of the road. Judging from the current situation, there was nothing suspicious about this matter. At least Douglas's behavior was normal.

"Baja is responsible for reconnaissance, Xiang Bubu stays at the station to look for suspicious targets, and Amu goes to the pianist's side to ensure the pianist's safety."

After Su Xiao finished saying these words, he left the station. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, Amu, and Baja dispersed.

Walking on the street in the thick fog, Su Xiao could feel that he had been targeted as soon as he arrived in Fog City. This feeling of being watched was faint and elusive, and it was very difficult to track it to the source.

Buying a map of Fog City, Su Xiao headed straight for the south side along the street. The further he went, the lower the buildings on both sides of the street became. In the end, they were all dilapidated one-story residential houses, mixed with simple sheds.

People in rags sat on the side of the street or in the sheds. Their eyes when looking at people were different from those of ordinary citizens; everyone's eyes carried a hint of ruthlessness and vigilance.

Su Xiao stopped in front of a dilapidated two-story building. After knocking on the door, the door opened a small crack, and the person inside scrutinized Su Xiao. A moment later, the door opened wide enough for one person to walk in.

Just as Su Xiao walked into the two-story building, several sounds of breaking wind appeared nearby. They were all wearing clothes that could cover their whole bodies, with hoods on their heads.

"Haogui said he is very strong. You guys hold him off, I'll take the relic."

A voice spoke. Her height was about 1.7 meters. Compared to the tall figures around her, all of whom were at least 2.5 meters tall, she was the shortest. Her name was Nightmare, a rare ghost in the Dark Prison, and she was in the strongest echelon of ghosts.

Nightmare's somewhat translucent hand pressed on the door, and the door quickly decayed, turning into residue and falling to the ground.

"Charge in, hold him off."

At Nightmare's command, ten third-stage Dark Demons rushed into the two-story building.

At the same time, on the central street of Fog City, in front of the main entrance of a mansion, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, who had blended into the environment, jumped into the courtyard and began to observe the situation around. This was the wealthy merchant's home, and the hunter relic Su Xiao needed was here. As for Su Xiao's arrangements at the station, that was just to cover his tracks. ===== CHAPTER 2663 =====
