Chapter 2670: True and False
After Su Xiao arrived at the end of the underground passage, a huge underground space appeared in front. There were many three-meter-high glass columns placed here, with various creatures soaked inside, including first-stage gray-skinned Dark Demons.
Not long after walking out, several figures appeared in front. Three of them were near the wall, two men and one woman. They were all in a state of high tension, with sweat on their temples and foreheads.
Two male supernaturalists blocked the front, and the only woman stood behind them, holding a glass tube tightly with both hands. Inside the transparent solution, the 【Watcher Relic】 was soaked. In this solution, the surface of the 【Watcher Relic】 was attached with many tentacles, just like plant roots.
Douglas and Ta Bald stood opposite each other, vaguely forming a triangle with the three supernaturalists. And further away were Amu and Baja. They were clear about their own aura. At this time, if they said they were in the same group as Ta Bald, it would significantly reduce Ta Bald's credibility.
"Douglas, you haven't succeeded yet? Kill them all, Haogui has been waiting for a long time."
Su Xiao leaped onto a glass column, holding his blade with one hand, and bloodthirst permeated around him.
Hearing Su Xiao say this, Ta Bald's heart felt cold, but he soon thought about what was going on. The spiral sword in his hand was aimed at Su Xiao. Bubu Wang, who had blended into the environment, saw this scene and gave Ta Bald a 'like'. He usually looked simple-minded, but at critical moments, he was very reliable.
"Berserker · Kukulin!"
Ta Bald's aura was heavy. He walked sideways for two steps, vaguely blocking between Su Xiao and the three supernaturalists. Seeing this, the three supernaturalists felt shaken. Looking at Ta Bald's somewhat bloated back, they felt a sense of inexplicable peace of mind.
Whether Douglas and Ta Bald were good people, the three supernaturalists couldn't judge. But Su Xiao, they just needed one glance to know that this was not a good person. That was the bloodthirst that could only appear after slaughtering tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even more living beings, right? Sensing it from afar made them feel a kind of trembling, a trembling from the depths of their hearts and souls.
At this moment, Douglas spoke:
"Bald, you take them away first. We'll resolve our conflict after returning to headquarters. The credit for this time belongs to you, but don't be like last time, using private lynching on the road. They don't deserve to die."
Douglas's hand raised and released, and a God Hunter's identity badge appeared, which was worn by Douglas around his neck. This relic was obtained by him in 'Fog City'.
These words of Douglas were not ruthless. First, he emphasized the conflict between him and Ta Bald in private. Moreover, taking these three people away involved the attribution of credit, which was why the confrontation just now occurred. And he implicitly emphasized that the two of them were not in the same department within the Watcher Guild.
The most ruthless thing was that Douglas revealed that Ta Bald was a hunter who liked to use private lynching. Hearing these words, would the three supernaturalists still dare to go with Ta Bald? What if this 'pumpkin' had some special hobby and found a place halfway to torture them to death?
The three supernaturalists looked at each other. They could no longer tell who was who, and their brains were about to crash. But they all knew one thing: they couldn't easily hand over the holy object in their hands. Once they handed it to the wrong person, they would be finished. Their only reliance now was that they had the ability to destroy the holy object.
Su Xiao sat on the three-meter-high glass column, watching the good show below. He threw a Soul Crystal into his mouth and chewed it slowly. Seeing this scene, let alone the three supernaturalists, even the corners of Douglas's eyes twitched imperceptibly.
"Two... two, otherwise, you guys protect us together."
The woman supernaturalist shouted tremblingly.
"Good."
"Of course."
Douglas and Ta Bald spoke one after another. Hearing what they both said, the three supernaturalists felt relieved in their hearts.
"But before that, you have to choose to hand over the holy object to him, or hand it over to me."
Douglas's expression became serious.
"Don't think you can escape punishment. If you have killed civilians, 'Cain Prison' will be your residence for the rest of your lives. And don't use the thing in your hands to threaten us. It is important, but not important enough for you to escape punishment. According to Article 1157 of the Kingdom Law, all those suspected of murder..."
Douglas listed six Kingdom Laws regarding this matter in succession, saying the three supernaturalists were stunned. Their eyes turned to Ta Bald. Ta Bald didn't know the laws of the Rhine Kingdom at all, held it in for a long time, and squeezed out a sentence: 'The Heartfire is not extinguished'.
Just when the three hadn't recovered, Douglas took something out of his arms. This was his trump card.
"I am not just a hunter, but also a part-time detective. This is my credential. I will give you the fairest judgment according to the dual laws of the Watcher Guild and the Rhine Kingdom. Your behavior of voluntarily handing over the 'stolen goods' will be recorded by me. This concerns your future after all."
Douglas threw out his credentials. The three supernaturalists obviously hadn't come into contact with hunters, only heard of them. They often came into contact with detectives, and fighting wits with detectives was their daily routine.
"The credential is real."
"Then we..."
The three supernaturalists didn't hesitate anymore. Their gazes were all focused on Douglas.
"Then, then hand it over to you."
The woman supernaturalist's trembling hand reached out. Douglas's expression remained unchanged, while Ta Bald not far away had an anxious expression under his helmet.
Just as the woman supernaturalist was about to hand over the 【Watcher Relic】, her body shook, and her pupils tightened rapidly, because her peripheral vision saw that Su Xiao, who was sitting on the glass column in the distance, was laughing. That was clearly the look of a plan succeeding. It seemed that Douglas obtaining the 【Watcher Relic】 was the situation Su Xiao wanted to see.
Su Xiao was not good at arguing with people, but just like Monarch Harold once said, Su Xiao's acting skills made him admire.
"Are you both hunters?"
The woman supernaturalist looked at Douglas, and Douglas nodded.
"Then I hand over the holy object to him, is that okay too?"
The woman supernaturalist was still looking at Douglas, observing all his expressions.
"..."
Douglas didn't speak, but he smiled. He was enjoying the feeling now.
"Protect us!"
The woman supernaturalist shouted in a low voice, holding the 【Watcher Relic】 tightly with both hands, and ran behind Ta Bald.
"Of course."
Ta Bald pointed the spiral sword in his hand forward, pointing at Douglas.
"This is... so pleasant."
Douglas unbuttoned his collar, and a dog beast covered in blood and flesh appeared from the air behind his shoulder, spitting out the handle of a weapon.
Douglas grasped the handle of this weapon, and with a 'pop', deep blue lightning surged. The weapon he drew was a wide-bladed long blade over 1.3 meters long, surging with deep blue electric light. But just as this long blade was drawn, it began to shatter bit by bit, turning into very small fragments, and finally, even the handle shattered.
"Haogui, if you don't come again, wait to collect my corpse."
As soon as Douglas's words fell, a black crack appeared. Red hair, a body like cast iron, and that bold aura, it was Haogui who had arrived.
"Douglas, you hold off Kukulin, I'll kill Ta Bald."
Haogui grinned, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth.
Su Xiao leaped down from the glass column and stopped near Bald, confronting Haogui and Douglas.
"Be careful, White Night."
Ta Bald nodded to Su Xiao. Hearing what he said, a one-eyed supernaturalist with a fierce appearance felt full of confusion, because Su Xiao was actually a hunter.
The one-eyed man looked Su Xiao up and down, and his inner thought was: 'If hunters are all of this aura, then he chooses to surrender to the Dark Prison faction.' ===== CHAPTER 2671 =====
