Chapter 3080

~9 min read 1,704 words

Regarding the data on the dangerous object S-002, it had been a blank slate recently. This dangerous object had not appeared for a period of time, and the difficulty of finding this thing was not low.

The good news was that Su Xiao's initial status was very high, which had both pros and cons. The advantage was being able to mobilize many extraordinary individuals and intelligence channels; the disadvantage was that those who were hostile to him were very difficult to deal with.

Su Xiao held a piece of data in his hand; it recorded the dangerous object S-001. This was a dangerous object that was both dangerous and special. The predecessor of the containment organization was established because of this dangerous object. Now, the dangerous object S-001 was no longer the original one; this involved the dangerous object S-005. Because of her existence, S-001 had undergone changes.

The problems in this regard were too complex. Su Xiao was not prepared to participate in these matters at the current stage. Now the priority was to leave this underground detention center.

The Alliance world was a world with a high-level difficulty of the Eighth Tier. A more important point was that this was a fully open, original world.

Contractors from other parties would also appear in this world. Of course, this was also the world where violators appeared most frequently. The existence of other violators made the difficulty of Su Xiao executing hunting missions even higher.

After waiting for about half an hour, Su Xiao's "picked-up" confidant Xili returned. He had met with Dean Vic and Ms. Xi Lin, and the answer he received was the same: it was not recommended for Su Xiao to leave the detention center right now.

"Xili, how do I usually treat you?"

Su Xiao spoke with his eyes lowered. Hearing this, Xili, who had been standing in a ruffian-like posture, immediately straightened his back.

"The Commander treats me well, of course."

"Is that so? Xili, I think highly of you."

"Uh~"

A look of confusion appeared on Xili's scarred face. Although his commander was praising him, a very ominous feeling sprouted in his heart.

"From a long time ago, I have thought highly of you. You can become a great talent."

"Eh?"

Xili was even more bewildered. He remembered that half a month ago, because he did something stupid, he was slapped against the wall by his own commander, and it was other colleagues who had to pry him out of the wall.

"From now on, you are the Deputy Legion Commander of the 'Institution.' I think highly of you."

"Commander..."

Xili's eyes grew hot. He thought that his commander was unable to escape, which was why he appointed his most trusted person as the temporary Deputy Legion Commander.

"Commander, please rest assured. Even if I, Xili, have to risk this life, I will handle the affairs of the 'Institution' well. Please rest assured."

Xili's mood was hard to calm down. Just at this moment, a lady wearing a red long dress walked over gracefully, holding a stack of black coats in her hands, with a few gold buttons on them, and the unique medal of the "Institution" pinned to the collar.

The lady in the red dress draped the Legion Commander's coat over Xili's back. Xili took a deep breath and said in a firm tone: "Commander, please rest assured, you will always be my Legion Commander."

"Thank you for your hard work, Xili."

"It's not hard work, it's all what I should do, hahaha."

Xili really couldn't hold it back and laughed out loud.

"No, it is indeed going to be hard work for you."

Su Xiao patted Xili on the shoulder and hooked his finger at the lady in the red dress nearby. The lady in the red dress immediately stepped forward respectfully. After hearing Su Xiao's whisper, she nodded repeatedly.

"My lord, please rest assured, it has already been arranged."

The lady in the red dress made a gesture toward the corner. A few seconds later, the armor holding Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang changed; the pure water inside was drained, and Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was also released.

Half an hour later, Xili, whose gaze was filled with bewilderment, was located inside the armor, with an oxygen mask still on his face.

"My lord, you can't treat me like this. I already paid money over there and haven't..."

The sound of choking on water came from Xili's mouth. He couldn't shout loudly inside the armor, otherwise the reverse valve of the oxygen mask would open slightly, leading to water immersion. Compared to being locked up here, Xili was actually more concerned about another matter: before coming, he had booked a special service and had already paid a deposit. It could only be said that Xili was a fastidious person; he even paid a deposit for that kind of thing.

Xili had some complaints in his heart, but immediately, these complaints vanished into thin air. As long as he finished this matter, he would have 6 to 8 months of paid leave. For Xili, who hadn't had a vacation in nearly three years, this was an irresistible temptation. The cushy job came too suddenly.

Su Xiao walked in the long, narrow corridor with Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang. Appointing Xili as the temporary Deputy Legion Commander and leaving him here was a compromise plan. At the current stage, Su Xiao did not particularly need all the authority of the Deputy Legion Commander; he had to understand this world first.

The Alliance Council side was more about an attitude. As long as the Deputy Legion Commander was in a state of being imprisoned, those 11 councilors didn't care who specifically was imprisoned. As long as these people in power were given enough benefits, plus a way to step down, no one would be serious; that would be looking for trouble.

Outside the underground detention center was a long, narrow alley. After walking out of the alley, the noisy street appeared before Su Xiao's eyes. Most pedestrians were dressed decently, cars drove past on the street, signal lights were set up at the street corner, and the large chimneys of factories in the distance emitted yellow-brown thick smoke 24 hours a day.

Gaman City was one of the three most prosperous cities on the continent. In contrast, the smog that never dissipated in the sky all year round made environmental protection organizations increasingly rise. Those chemical plants and steel mills bore the brunt and were often surrounded by environmentalists.

Su Xiao took a few small banknotes out of his pocket. This currency was called the Ta Pound, and was more often referred to as the Alliance Yuan. If estimating the purchasing power, 1 Ta Pound was approximately equal to about 2.3 RMB.

Below the Ta Pound, there were also Sudo, with denominations of 1 jiao, 2 jiao, and 5 jiao, which were used for daily buying and selling in this regard.

Before waiting for the "Institution's" car to pick him up, Su Xiao spent 5 Sudo to buy a newspaper and sat on a bench by the street to read it. The headline news was: "Alliance announces that starting from today, fishing and maritime transport will be stopped."

The headline content of the newspaper took up a lot of space, 99% of which was various analyses by the newspaper office. The official side only announced one sentence to the outside world: stop fishing and maritime transport.

Something had happened on the Alliance side. Su Xiao was just surprised why Dean Vic, who had always advocated for stability, actually didn't directly oppose his plan this time, and even had a hint of secret support.

Su Xiao always felt that the matter of stopping maritime trade was a huge pit. Being able to force the Alliance to stop maritime transport meant that something had likely appeared on the sea. There was a more than 70% chance it was a dangerous object. Currently, the Alliance was covering it up tightly; nine times out of ten, they had taken a fancy to some characteristic of that dangerous object and wanted to bypass the containment organization to intercept it.

Continuing to flip through the newspaper, Su Xiao saw in the lace news at the very bottom that on the 5th of last month, some fishermen heard a woman's crying sound underwater while fishing at sea.

Looking at the newspaper office that published this news, it was the Thorn Flower Daily. This was normal. The Thorn Flower Daily was the "honey badger" among many newspaper offices; there was nothing they dared not report. Once, they even published on the headline that a certain councilor was privately keeping a mistress. Note, that was a councilor in power. The Thorn Flower Daily was so iron-headed that it was jaw-dropping.

It was obvious that the Thorn Flower Daily sold better than the Alliance Daily.

Folding the newspaper and throwing it into the trash can next to the bench, Gaman City was prosperous, but the heavy pollution here caused the air quality to drop severely. Breathing made people feel vaguely suffocated, as if they had inhaled car exhaust mixed with the smell of bitter almonds.

Su Xiao took out a glass column nearly half a meter long. After opening the sealing ring at the top, the black semi-fluid inside surged out and dropped to the ground with a slap. It was the Devourer.

Most of the Devourer's body began to dissolve, and finally only a circle the size of a fist remained. This thing turned into a thread-like shape and crawled on the street, finally relying on the tension of its body to catapult onto the door of a car and disappear at the end of the street.

Devourer, release successful, start creating a Son of the World (Fake).

Interestingly, because Su Xiao entered this world wearing the "Plundering Heaven and Startling Waves" title this time, the Son of the World in this world would be hostile to him. But if, through the Son of the World (Fake) created by the Devourer, it went up against the Son of the World of this world, which one would be stronger?
