Chapter 3081

That afternoon, in a cheap apartment, inside single apartment 305.

The curtains were blocked tightly, making the room stuffy and hot, while also having a strange sweet smell, mixed with a foul odor.

Messy clothes were piled on the sofa, and there were piled-up bowls and dishes in the sink. On a small bed against the wall, a young man with black-brown short hair was sleeping soundly. Because the bed was too small, one of his arms hung down.

The black fluid invaded the room along the door crack, and an eye opened within the black fluid, as if looking around. Soon, it saw the young man in the room. It sensed very strong negative emotions on the other party; this was the target it was looking for.

The Devourer climbed up along the young man's arm, suddenly sprang up, and drilled into the young man's mouth and nose.

"Whoa!"

The young man sat up from the bed, waving his hands wildly in front of him. When he woke up, he tried to take a deep breath; there was no foreign object sensation in his mouth or nose.

"Was it a dream? Scared... scared me to death."

The young man sat on the bed in a daze for a while, then continued to lie on the bed to rest. Just at this moment, a bang suddenly came from upstairs. This young man named Aiqi got up again, looking at the ceiling with hatred. He didn't know what his neighbor upstairs did every day; it often sounded like they were using a hammer to beat the ground.

As a waiter at the "Soya Hotel," Aiqi had to ensure sufficient sleep during the day, but the resident upstairs clearly disturbed his normal life.

"That fat pig, can't he be a little quieter?"

Aiqi put on his clothes, making a gesture to go and reason with the resident upstairs, but considering the other party's figure of over 290 pounds and height of over 2.1 meters, Aiqi felt empty in his heart and eventually chickened out. Standing in front of the other party, he wasn't in the same weight class at all.

"I'll let you off this once."

Aiqi glanced at the kitchen knife on the shelf, thinking to himself that he was sparing the fat pig upstairs because he was in a good mood today. He had a gentle girlfriend and couldn't be arrested for an impulsive murder case. That's right, that's it. The anger in Aiqi's heart subsided, thinking to himself that he wasn't enduring it because he chickened out; this was being steady.

Aiqi lay down to continue sleeping. What he didn't notice was that the muscle lines on his body began to become distinct, as if something was surging under his skin, making his skin tougher.

A few hours later.

Bang!

Another muffled sound came from upstairs. Aiqi sat up in shock. After realizing what was going on, he was so angry that he started to tremble.

"Aiqi, go, kill him."

"Who!"

Aiqi looked around, but he didn't see anyone else.

"I am, Devourer, Aiqi, I still... don't know how to speak very well, you talk more, I will soon, be able to, learn."

"Who are you!"

Aiqi was extremely terrified. A kind of loneliness and despair from the bottom of his heart emerged. What was wrong with him? A voice suddenly appeared in his brain. Could it be that long-term sleep deprivation led to mental problems? He didn't have money for treatment.

"I am, Devourer, I am, a part of you, you are also, a part of me."

As soon as the voice in Aiqi's brain appeared, another muffled sound came from the ceiling, which made Aiqi's expression distort with anger. He strode toward the outside of the room.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Aiqi slapped the wooden door in front of him, his movements urgent. What he didn't notice was that with his slapping, inward-dented cracks appeared on the wooden door.

The wooden door was pushed open, and a fat and tall figure stood inside the door. This figure wasn't fat, but sturdy. The whole body looked full of fat, but in reality, under the fat were solid muscles.

Aiqi didn't say a word, raised his hand to grab the sturdy man's hair, and slammed the other party's head against the wall.

Bang! Bang! Bang...

Blood spots splashed onto Aiqi's face. Because of the warmth of the fresh blood, he shuddered, and his eyes regained clarity. He looked at his own hands, and the face that he had grabbed by the hair and slammed until it was bloody and blurred.

"You, you, you, are you okay? I, I, I didn't mean it."

Hearing Aiqi's voice, the sturdy man he had grabbed trembled.

"I... I'll take you to see a doctor."

Aiqi was very panicked. He had never thought that he would beat his neighbor upstairs until he was half-dead. Just now, he thought he was dreaming.

"No... need, you let go of me first."

"Huh? Oh oh oh, have to stop the bleeding first."

Aiqi was in a flurry, eventually taking off his own sock and putting it on the sturdy man's head to help the other party stop the bleeding. The sturdy man was rolling his eyes a bit, accompanied by bursts of retching.

"I... I'm sorry."

"?"

The sturdy man tilted his head slightly, his gaze beginning to despair. He was certain that he had encountered a mental patient.

Inside a car speeding on the highway, Su Xiao sat in the back seat. In his hand, he held a finger-long sealed glass tube, which contained the fragments of the Devourer.

The fragments had shrunk into a spherical shape, which meant the Devourer had found its target and started parasitism and symbiosis. Afterward, it was just a matter of waiting for the Devourer to grow. It wouldn't take too long before a combat force that could be used three times would appear.

Su Xiao didn't stay in Gaman City for long. He was going to York City, nearly a hundred kilometers away, to temporarily become the agent of the "Institution" there. This would make it more convenient to complete the first ring of the main quest. He couldn't take over the identity of Deputy Legion Commander for the time being.

The Alliance had blocked all maritime trade, fishing, and even tourist ships. This was clearly because a dangerous object had appeared on the sea, and the Alliance wanted to intercept that dangerous object with special uses. To do this, they had to bypass the Containment Organization.

Su Xiao suspected that everything before was a trap set by someone, and that councilor he had slapped to death had been used.

First, someone bribed that councilor, letting him deliberately stretch his claws into the aspect of dangerous objects, and then invited the three most powerful people in the Containment Organization to the council hall. That councilor, under various names, tried to withhold the funds allocated by the Alliance to the Containment Organization this year.

With the temper of the previous owner of Su Xiao's identity, this kind of thing couldn't be tolerated. The previous owner of this identity was famous for being protective and having ruthless means, so he immediately slaughtered that councilor to remove this tumor forever.

This just happened to satisfy someone's wish. A series of follow-up cards were played. First, accountability was pursued, thereby dragging Su Xiao down, causing the efficiency of the "Institution" to drop by nearly half. Afterward, the Alliance announced to the outside world that maritime transport would be blocked in the near future. This was for a certain dangerous object on the sea.

Currently, the internal affairs of the "Institution" couldn't be handled. Various dangerous objects appeared in various places, plus the Deputy Legion Commander was imprisoned, making the situation of the "Institution" worse.

"Silver Dog, has the Alliance high command been in contact with the Eclipse Organization recently?"

Su Xiao spoke. The Silver Dog he mentioned was the man currently driving the car. Silver Dog was one of the members of the Fierce Dog Squad, possessing the ability to metalize his body, capable of turning his body into solid or liquid silver. He was a natural extraordinary individual.

"According to what the ears say, there has been contact between the two sides recently. There is a rumor that the nephew of the Eclipse Organization leader, Kingsley, participated in the councilor selection, and the internal votes were very high. Perhaps in a few days, Kingsley's nephew will be able to fill the vacancy of the 12 councilors."

Silver Dog's expression didn't change much. The only feeling he gave people was indifference, looking at everything with indifference and numbness.

"Kingsley."

Su Xiao had seen this name in the world introduction. Fundamentally speaking, the Eclipse Organization was not a villain faction. Their purpose was similar to the Containment Organization, just with different ideologies.

Actually, the Eclipse Organization side was still relatively upright. In contrast to his own side, Director Vic and Ms. Xiu Lin were old schemers hiding behind the scenes. Su Xiao's side was a thoroughly violent organization. As long as they could deal with dangerous objects, any means were fine, with only one point: dangerous objects could not be abused, only contained.

The car soon entered the city area. Compared to the congestion of Gaman City, the streets of York City were much fresher, and the air quality had also improved a lot, making it hard to believe that the two places were only a hundred kilometers apart.

With a squeak, the car stopped in front of a three-story building. This was the place where Su Xiao would stay temporarily, an office, claiming to be a detective agency to the outside world, but in reality, it was a branch of the "Institution" in York City.

The first floor of the office was a utility room. Walking up the stairs next to the building, Su Xiao opened the front door on the second floor.

This room was over a hundred square meters, with furnishings similar to an ordinary detective agency. If the lights weren't on, it would be somewhat dim even in broad daylight.

Glancing at the pendulum clock on the cabinet, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon. Su Xiao sat on the leather chair behind the desk and began to ponder the follow-up plan. The main quest was the priority, followed by Dangerous Object · S-002. That might relate to whether the third talent could be awakened; this was very important. Finally, it was searching for rule-breakers.

While Su Xiao was closing his eyes for a nap, Silver Dog silently left the office and returned to the car to light a cigarette. This car was his home.

Inside the office, Su Xiao took out an item from his storage space. This time, he had to deal with various dangerous objects, and one could imagine how high the risk was. Amu didn't know where he had been teleported to, Baha's distance was okay, and Benny had lost contact directly. Su Xiao really needed a reliable helper, the kind that would never stab him in the back.

The item in Su Xiao's hand could achieve this point. This item could summon a member of the Tianba tribe. Whether the Tianba beauty was beautiful or not, Su Xiao didn't care; as long as she was strong enough, it would do.
