Chapter 2688

~9 min read 1,649 words

Blood energy spread, and footsteps came from outside the door. Undead Yuyuer curled his body in a sitting position, trying to minimize his volume to reduce the possibility of being noticed. Since more than ten minutes ago, he had sensed a person in the corridor. He could sense that that person was simply not an existence in the same dimension as him. That almost tangible malice made him feel cold.

In the blood energy, Amiya, who was sitting in front of the wall, went stiff all over, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted.

"A difficult one has come."

Big Mouth Kite spat out the bone in his mouth, took the table knife from inside his collar, and flicked it into the dining table. He didn't want to be killed by mistake. Although his mouth was foul, this guy was a very smart criminal.

Drip, drip~

Fresh blood dripped. Su Xiao walked into the meeting room, carrying a head in his hand. This head seemed to be stitched together, and its appearance was the same as the stitched man Womori in the room. Since just now, the stitched man Womori had been motionless, as if he had turned into a sculpture.

"When did he escape?"

Lady Xiang noticed the head in Su Xiao's hand. Her gaze turned to the stitched man Womori, and she immediately discovered the abnormality.

Crack~

Cracks appeared on the stitched man Womori's face, his body shattered rapidly, and finally scattered. One criminal died, and six remained.

Su Xiao stopped in his tracks while walking, looked at the food on the table, and then looked at the head in his hand, before handing the stitched man Womori's head to Lady Xiang and washing the bloodstains off his hands.

"It's so good to be alive, why insist on escaping."

After Lady Xiang took the head, she took a puff of the lady's cigarette between her fingers and blew the smoke toward the head in her hand. This head immediately decomposed. Don't underestimate Lady Xiang just because she is an ordinary person; she was the one who cultivated the Bird-Beak Doctor.

Su Xiao sat at the head of the dining table, picked up the several documents on the table, found one of them, and tossed it to Undead Yuyuer.

"After finishing a certain thing, you will regain your freedom."

Su Xiao tapped the document on the table, a smile appearing on his face.

"Freedom?"

Big Mouth Kite gave a few dry laughs. He absolutely did not believe in the talk of regaining freedom. After all, what he had done would not be enough even if he died a hundred or a thousand times.

"The Watcher Guild and the Rhine Kingdom have agreed that after you complete a certain thing, you can regain your freedom, but according to the agreement, after you regain your freedom, I am responsible for slaughtering you."

Su Xiao did not say anything threatening. Among the seven who came, he only needed three to four. Bringing seven was just for the sake of insurance; after all, not every criminal was willing to cooperate.

"That's too blunt, at least give some psychological comfort. Saying it so straightforwardly, how can you trick me into selling my life for you."

Ape-Man Lockchi rubbed the hair on his fingertips. This was the result that met his expectations. In his view, whether he helped the Watcher Guild or not, the result was the same—it was just a matter of dying early or dying late.

"After the matter is done, you will be imprisoned at the Watcher Guild headquarters. Start stating your position, you have 10 seconds."

Su Xiao took out a timer and pressed the timing button.

"I'll participate, the hellhole where I was imprisoned before was too damp."

Big Mouth Kite had the foulest mouth, but he was the first to state his position. After making eye contact with Su Xiao, he knew one thing: he only had two choices. One was to die now, and the other was to die after a period of time. Choosing the latter, there was a certain probability of living, and living quite well at that.

"Count me in, my warden always looks at me lecherously, it's annoying~"

Button Sunny raised her hand. Among the six, two had already agreed.

5 seconds later, Undead Yuyuer raised his hand and nodded at Su Xiao, meaning to count him in.

8 seconds later, Silencer Salisbury raised his hand. At some point, his strong body had integrated some metal—it was the missing tableware and shackles.

Click~

Su Xiao pressed the timing button; 10 seconds were up. Ape-Man Lockchi and Giant Mountain Lekov looked at each other, their eyes containing smiles—that was a tacit understanding.

They were prepared to talk to Su Xiao again, striving to raise the price. The probability of encountering such a thing was too low, and they were prepared to seize it. Only by being needed did they have value. They were certain that before being used, the Watcher Guild would not easily move against them; otherwise, that woman would not have kept tolerating them.

"Mr. Hunter, I say, you guys..."

Ape-Man Lockchi's words were only halfway through when Su Xiao raised his hand to interrupt.

"Those two are useless, dispose of them."

"You."

Giant Mountain Lekov stood up abruptly. He was so strong that he didn't look like a human, glaring down at Su Xiao.

Bang.

A muffled sound came. In Giant Mountain Lekov's eyes full of astonishment, he had already been pressed to the ground by a thin, old hunter. The two's physiques were completely at two extremes.

"Don't kill here, the bloody smell will ruin this dinner. Tomorrow morning, let this chef cook my breakfast."

Su Xiao tucked a napkin into his collar, picked up a steak in an empty plate, poured sauce on it, and only then picked up the table knife and fork. Today's dinner was indeed very good, especially this sauce.

"Understood, Lord Kuku Lin."

The black-clad hunter bowed to Su Xiao. His thumb pressed on Giant Mountain Lekov's nape, and Giant Mountain Lekov fainted instantly.

"Wait... wait! I was negotiating the price, don't you understand that?!"

Ape-Man Lockchi on the side panicked. Although he wasn't afraid of death, he didn't want to go cold just like this.

Bang!

Another muffled sound. Another old hunter appeared behind Ape-Man Lockchi and knocked him unconscious with his bare hands.

"Sigh~, it would have been so good to talk to me, why bother."

Lady Xiang sighed and sat beside Su Xiao. She had been busy until now and was also hungry.

"Four, I wish you success tomorrow."

Lady Xiang raised her wine glass, yet the four criminals present were expressionless. Clearly, the routine of one playing the bad cop and one playing the good cop was ineffective on them.

Lady Xiang kicked Su Xiao lightly under the table. She also wanted face. The four people present ignored her, and Amiya was also there, which made Lady Xiang lose face.

Su Xiao's hand holding the table knife paused. He looked up and scanned the four criminals present. Noticing Su Xiao's gaze, including Undead Yuyuer, all four picked up their wine glasses, and Big Mouth Kite among them even squeezed out an ugly smile.

From beginning to end, Su Xiao did not utter any threats. His approach was very simple: either agree or die. He would not negotiate with these criminals. Facing these people, even a small step of concession would lead the other party to push for more.

Dinner proceeded in a peaceful atmosphere. Amiya also enjoyed dinner together. She had just woken up not long ago, and because she was sitting next to Su Xiao, she looked like she might faint again at any time.

After dinner, the 4 criminals were sent to the seventh floor. Each of them received 'special treatment', with a total of 20 old hunters staring at them tightly. These guys' escape abilities were too strong; a slight carelessness could lead to them slipping away.

The next morning, at 7 o'clock sharp, the four criminals were gathered in the hall on the first floor. On the ceiling more than ten meters high, one chandelier after another lit up.

The entire Watcher Guild headquarters was completely sealed off. Both the windows and the main entrance had alloy walls dozens of centimeters thick lowered. The reason for doing this was because the Gate of the Dark Prison was directly below the Watcher Guild headquarters.

The location of the Watcher Guild headquarters was not chosen randomly. This place was not only the hunters' place of residence but also suppressed the Land of Strange Anomalies.

Go, Viper, Commons, and Lady Xiang, the four high-level members of the Watcher Guild, were all present. They all knelt on one knee in the center of the first-floor hall, while at the edge of the hall, hundreds of hunters stood or sat.

In the quiet atmosphere, the four high-level members of the Watcher Guild spoke simultaneously.

"We are all guards in the dark night. The fire in our hearts will not be extinguished, and dawn will surely come."

After Go finished this sentence, he broke off a silver tooth from his mouth. Viper took off the ring on his hand, Commons took off his fake finger, and Lady Xiang took off her earrings and took out a strand of blonde hair. This strand of blonde hair was the representative object of the deceased Watcher Guild high-level member, Jin Se.

The five items floated up simultaneously and merged rapidly. On the inner side of the hall, a large area of the ground moved slowly, and the space almost appeared to be distorted.

Soon, a staircase leading downward appeared. This staircase was more than ten meters wide, leading into the pitch-black darkness, and the Gate of the Dark Prison was at the end of this passage.
