Chapter 3152: The Scapegoat · Hunter Company

"Hahahaha, I'm dying of laughter."

Baha in front of the projector laughs until its stomach hurts. Goya's entire action was fed back through a micro-monitoring device.

"Chief, I told you my suggestion was reliable. Look, those two little guys must have a deep impression of Goya."

Xili slaps his thigh. Xili also participated in the recovery of the Blood of Fate, mainly to prevent external forces from interfering with the protagonist squad.

Su Xiao prepares to recover the Blood of Fate in a short time and solve another hidden danger: the Hunter Company of the East Continent.

The East Continent does not have an existence similar to the Institution or the Eclipse Organization. How do they deal with Dangerous Objects there? The answer is, the Hunter Company controls transcendents to deal with Dangerous Objects. Afterward, the Hunter Company will keep or sell the Dangerous Objects that can be used to the Eclipse Organization. Dangerous Objects that cannot be used and are extremely dangerous are sent to the Institution, paying a high amount of pounds to have the Institution contain them.

The Hunter Company is notorious in the extraordinary world of the East Continent. They deliberately spread extraordinary knowledge through underground channels, then let transcendents appear among the people, and then hunt down these transcendents, controlling them through biotechnology, and letting these transcendents deal with Dangerous Objects.

Initially, the East Continent also wanted to establish organizations like the Institution or the Eclipse, but they collapsed not long after.

The initial financial resources and resources could not keep up. Those big shots were all watching from the sidelines. Their idea was to let the Institution and the Eclipse Organization set up branches there because the Institution and the Eclipse Organization never seize power.

Dangerous Objects must be handled by someone. The Hunter Company was established against this background. The philosophy of this company is that wild transcendents are also a kind of alternative Dangerous Object, which will bring unpredictable dangers to the people and need to be controlled. But this control became more and more intense, which led to the current situation.

If comparing the stability of public order, the East Continent is much stronger than the South Continent. Transcendents themselves do bring too many uncertainties. After having extraordinary power, not everyone can control themselves and not treat civilians as ants or slices of bread.

Su Xiao has already determined through those 30 dead soldiers that the Supreme Insect is in the East Continent. Once they get there, the Hunter Company will inevitably show its claws. That company will not believe the intelligence of the Institution and the Eclipse Organization, so cooperation is impossible.

Su Xiao's plan to recover the Blood of Fate is to let the Hunter Company take the blame. Developing to the end, the white-haired youth and Aiqi will discover that it is all the Hunter Company's fault. This company is so evil and is their lifelong enemy.

Don't look at the white-haired youth and Aiqi being easily manipulated in the hands of Su Xiao and Kingsley. This is the crushing of the opening. The white-haired youth was artificially created by Kingsley through Dangerous Objects, and Aiqi was cultivated by Su Xiao. These two, in his and Kingsley's hands, of course, have no possibility of resistance.

If the white-haired youth and Aiqi are released, these two are both existences close to the legitimate World Child. Caught off guard, the Hunter Company will suffer a big loss.

The white-haired youth and Aiqi go there, and it is likely that they will level up by fighting monsters all the way, and then crazily pull hatred. This is what Su Xiao wants to see.

He doesn't want to be disturbed by the Hunter Company in his plan, so he simply buried a big mine.

Once the white-haired youth and Aiqi completely "got hyped up" in the Eastern Continent, the Hunter Company would be surprised to find that, compared to the standoff between the Institution and the Eclipse Organization, the losses on the other side were even more severe. The Institution and the Eclipse were both old hands who understood the rules and wouldn't act recklessly, but the two hotheaded youths who had jumped out over there didn't understand anything.

Under these circumstances, the Hunter Company's gaze will be attracted to the white-haired youth and Aiqi. By then, the external risk when Su Xiao deals with the Supreme Insect will be even lower.

This is the reason why Su Xiao made Goya the highest bounty wanted criminal. In everyone's cognition, Goya's identity background makes it easier to contact the Hunter Company.

The best plan is not to appear at the final moment and then show off perfectly; the truly viable plan is to let the person being schemed against reach the end without ever knowing who schemed against them, and then continue to be used as a pawn.

When the white-haired youth and Aiqi know the "truth", they will even feel that it is such a good thing that there are the Institution and the Eclipse Organization in the Southern Continent. Because of the existence of these two organizations, they were inadvertently protected by these two forces when they were weak. The Institution Legion Commander · Kuku Lin · Bai Ye, and the Eclipse Organization leader · Kingsley, who made them full of fear before, are all very good people, just looking dangerous and terrifying.

Please don't laugh. The white-haired youth and Aiqi have a not-low probability of having this idea. This is the absolute crushing of intelligence.

Su Xiao looks at the projection on the wall. The white-haired youth and Aiqi are running away, not worth paying attention to. He starts his daily meditation. The environment of Luhu Manor is good, especially the sea of flowers in the courtyard. There is a faint floral fragrance during meditation, which makes people feel comfortable.

After meditating for a few hours, Su Xiao opens his eyes.

"Boss, Goya has already started to incite."

Baha signals Su Xiao to look at the projection on the wall. This is a quiet tavern, opened by Aiqi with his own funds.

Baha gives Su Xiao a review of the previous plot. The plot is that the protagonist duo successfully ran away and then found Goya. When they found Goya, they discovered that Goya had spent all 2.5 million pounds to buy living supplies, medical supplies, etc., for over a dozen orphanages and nursing homes for the elderly.

Seeing Goya standing among a group of children, the expressions of the white-haired youth and Aiqi are extremely wonderful. Make a move? Is this occasion suitable? Don't make a move? They are almost exploded with anger; they were sold last night.

Goya's one sentence made this pair completely lose their fighting spirit. That sentence was: "Go out and talk, don't let the children see blood."

When seeing this scene through the projection at that time, Xili slapped his thigh and even said, what a talent.

The white-haired youth and Aiqi, in the smiles of the children, fighting spirit -50; in the kind gazes of the elderly, fighting spirit -20; under the gaze of the nuns, combat power -10; under that little girl's sentence 'Sister Goya, where are you going', fighting spirit -300.

This pair is completely dumbfounded. At this juncture, Goya says: "Make a move, it's my mistake to be found by you. In a frontal confrontation, I am not your opponent. Also, bury my corpse, don't throw it into the sewer."

The mood of the white-haired youth and Aiqi at that time was far from being described by 'f*ck'.

At this time, Goya's second layer of means comes. She sits in a sea of white flowers behind the orphanage and begins to tell her past.

She accepted cruel training since she was young, killed an innocent woman in her first mission, and then infiltrated the Institution. In order to assassinate the Institution Legion Commander · Kuku Lin · Bai Ye, she was treated as a plaything by the other party, but in the final strike, her poison blade was easily knocked away by the other party's finger. In Goya's description, that was simply a monster in human form.

Regarding this, the white-haired youth and Aiqi gave consistent affirmation. When Baha narrated to this point, Su Xiao frowned. His plan didn't have this background content.

"Baha, pass a message to Goya later, tell her to add less drama to herself, otherwise, send her to the Far South Cold Land to dig sulfur coal."

"Alright."

After Baha organizes its thoughts, it continues to narrate. The subsequent content is simple. Goya half-joins the protagonist squad and provides the protagonist squad with a large amount of intelligence. Furthermore, she tells Aiqi one thing: the thing in his body is a man-made Dangerous Object. This is the unique technology of the East Continent · Hunter Company, named Devourer.

Aiqi didn't believe it at first, but Goya explained the intelligence of the Devourer one by one, without any error, and told Aiqi that the underground cultivation base of the Devourer had been swept away by the Institution two years ago. As for why she knew so clearly, she was one of the participants at the time, a direct assassination squad under the Institution Legion Commander, and assassinated dozens of researchers related to the Devourer.

According to Goya, the Hunter Company no longer cultivates Devourers. One reason is that a large amount of technology was destroyed, the second is because of the deterrent power of the Institution, and the third is because of the huge side effects of the Devourer.

This 'popular science' by Goya not only makes the white-haired youth and Aiqi associate that the Hunter Company attacked them to recover the Devourer, but also makes them understand the Devourer better.

In fact, this is of course nonsense. The Devourer was created by Su Xiao and has nothing to do with the Hunter Company. But is this important? It's not important at all. The white-haired youth and Aiqi believed it, and that's enough.

Besides breaking the news of the 'true origin' of the Devourer, Goya also tells the two that the Devourer is actually a parasite, which will gradually change the host's personality, making the host become aggressive and irritable. In the end, the Devourer's host will become completely crazy, thinking of themselves as a top predator, and perform indiscriminate attacks and devouring on everything they see.

Goya also says that the parasitism of the Devourer has five stages. Reaching the fifth stage is complete madness, and combat power grows explosively, with the strongest reaching a tier only weaker than Su Xiao and Kingsley.

However, the fourth stage of being parasitized by the Devourer will not show too strong combat power, which is about the degree of Aiqi now.

Speaking of this, Goya also indicates that whether it is the Institution, the Eclipse Organization, or the Hunter Company, none of them will let Aiqi go in the end. The former two want to eliminate the Devourer, and the latter wants to catch Aiqi back for research.

Goya also indicates that the one who attacked Aiqi and the white-haired youth last night was the Hunter Company's people. They wouldn't come to Garman City to catch two transcendents, but for the host of the Devourer, the Hunter Company is willing to take the risk.

Everything is explained. Aiqi also knows why he suddenly changed from an ordinary person to this degree of strength. But if he reaches the fifth stage, he will lose his mind, and only killing will remain in his heart.

In fact, the Devourer is not like this. This is something Su Xiao created through alchemy and Ancient God knowledge. How could it have that kind of weakness? The true weakness of the Devourer is 'mixed inert gas'.

If Aiqi can let the Devourer grow to the limit, he will become a perfect symbiont.

Goya once again breaks a heavy news: the Devourer in Aiqi's body, due to long-term fighting and devouring a large amount of extraordinary flesh and blood, has entered the fourth stage, only one step away from the final fifth stage.

Learning this bad news, the white-haired youth and the little clever ghost · Nainai Ni, who had just recovered from serious injuries and still had a cast on her arm, both felt like they were struck by lightning. Their close friend Aiqi is about to become a mindless killing maniac.

Baha's narration stops here, because the situation there has progressed to this point. To know the subsequent development, one can only watch the projection.

Su Xiao looks at the projection on the wall. That is a quiet tavern. The white-haired youth behind the bar is silent, Nainai Ni is leaning against the door, Aiqi is sitting by the wine table with his head hanging, and not far away is Goya, who is holding a cocktail with a leisurely expression.

"You suspicious woman, why should we believe what you say?"

The white-haired youth walks out from behind the bar. In the past, he would never have said such things.

"Young man, this is reality. Reality is cruel. I really want to say that Aiqi can defeat the Devourer in his body, but this is impossible. All 7962 receptors were destroyed at the last moment, and Aiqi will be no exception."

Goya speaks in a flat tone, stating this cold fact. The white-haired youth in front of her lowers his eyes, his body trembling imperceptibly.

"Full of lies, Aiqi, don't believe her, don't forget, this woman sold us out last night."

"But... she stated all the characteristics of the Devourer. I can feel the Devourer in my body every moment, and it is... exactly the same as what Goya said."

Aiqi's eyes turn white, and he smiles reluctantly.

"The Devourer is a cruel thing by nature. By the way, there is one more piece of intelligence I haven't told you. People whose hearts are not dark enough cannot be compatible with the Devourer. It's not that Aiqi chose the Devourer, but that the Devourer chose him because of the darkness, unwillingness, and resentment in Aiqi's heart..."

"Shut up!"

The white-haired youth makes a move to grab Goya's collar, but at this moment, a hand grabs his forearm. It is Aiqi.

"White-hair, she... is right, I used to be a... coward, I..."

Aiqi smiles, laughing until his shoulders tremble.

"Fart, the Thorn Flower Newspaper bombing case, the Mermaid incident, the secret laboratory, the West Continent war, in these things, without you, Nainai Ni and I would have died long ago."

The white-haired youth becomes more and more excited as he speaks. Goya, beside him, takes a light sip of her cocktail, as if it has nothing to do with her.

"Stop talking, White-hair."

Aiqi lowers his head, not knowing what he is thinking.

"At the current stage, my suggestion is to let Aiqi die."

Goya speaks. Hearing this, the white-haired youth says angrily:

"Stop talking nonsense."

The white-haired youth grabs toward Goya's face. Suddenly, Aiqi grabs his arm again. The white-haired youth, in his anger, instinctively pushes Aiqi away. Just as he pushes, he regrets it.

"Hey, don't provoke the Devourer."

Goya leaps up nimbly, standing above the back of the chair. A colorless and odorless gas that can even deceive perception drifts out from her sleeve. This is 'mixed inert gas', the nemesis of the Devourer. If there is only a trace amount, it will instead provoke the Devourer.

Aiqi's upper body arches forward. Granular bumps appear under the skin of his neck. This is the Devourer wanting to break out of the body, but it is restricted.

"Roar."

Aiqi lets out a low roar and pounces on the white-haired youth. The white-haired youth is stunned for a moment, then immediately raises his arm to block. A sharp pain comes; Aiqi's sharp teeth almost bite through his arm.

"Aiqi, are you crazy?!"

The white-haired youth grabs Aiqi's hair, wanting to pull with all his might, but worries about pulling Aiqi bald.

"Roar!!"

Aiqi releases his bite and roars at the white-haired youth. Layers of black air waves spread. His mouth has split to the sides under his ears, full of sharp teeth.

Seeing this, the white-haired youth's right arm is wrapped in a black-tech-looking arm guard. He aims at Aiqi's face and delivers a heavy punch of friendship. Aiqi feels the pain and immediately fights back.

For a time, the tables and chairs in the tavern are broken, wine bottles fly everywhere, and the white-haired youth and Aiqi fight fist-to-flesh.

"This?"

The little clever ghost · Nainai Ni can no longer be clever. With one arm in a cast, she has no way. Go to pull them apart? With her small physique, that's looking for a beating. Helplessly, Nainai Ni can only shout:

"Stop! You stop! Don't fight anymore!"
