Chapter 381: The Mist Gradually Dissipates
Blood slid down the blade, and a red light flashed on the edge of Tang Hong. This was a sharp blade that had been stained with blood. Now, after drinking blood again, this blade seemed to be awakened.
"This..."
Stassen's mouth was slightly open, and the cigar held between his fingers fell. He now had only one thought, and that was how the other party killed his way in, and why there was no sound.
Su Xiao looked around at the two people in the room, a black man and a white man. That black man was Samuel. He had seen the other party's photo. As for that white man, he should be Samuel's partner.
"Do you know what you are doing? I am..."
Before the white man finished speaking, Su Xiao drew his pistol and fired a shot at the white man's head.
*Bang*, brains splashed, and the white man fell to the ground.
Samuel looked at the fallen white man and sighed.
"If I'm not mistaken, your surname is Su."
Samuel's Chinese was very standard. There were two people in the castle who understood Chinese, and he was one of them.
"Yes, it seems you are indeed related to the events of that year."
Su Xiao threw away the gun in his hand and walked toward Samuel with the blade. The other party was just an ordinary person. Because the situation was too complicated, Su Xiao had assumed that Samuel was a Qiyuezhe, but now it seemed that was not the case.
"Related, but only a small role."
Samuel sat in his original seat without moving.
"If I remember correctly, your name is Su Xiao."
"Yes."
The enemy was in front of him, and Su Xiao gripped the blade tighter.
"If I tell you that the people who killed your parents were not the ones you saw, do you believe it?"
"What do you mean."
Su Xiao's footsteps stopped.
Samuel tore open his shirt, and crisscrossed scars appeared on his upper body.
"These were left by your father. At a distance of half a kilometer, if he wanted to kill me, I absolutely wouldn't have survived."
Su Xiao was stunned. The scars on Samuel's body were dense. This kind of injury must have been caused by cold weapons.
"Impossible, my father was just an ordinary person."
Samuel smiled, a mocking smile.
"Ordinary person? He was just an ordinary person, a kind father in your eyes. Blood Eagle was an ordinary person? That's the funniest thing I've ever heard."
"The son of Blood Eagle and Poison Orchid. We should have killed you back then. Unfortunately, you were finally driven out. Compared to those two, you are too weak now, too weak to even deserve to hear their names."
Black blood flowed from the corner of Samuel's mouth, but his face was full of smiles.
"I'll wait for you in hell. I'm just a messenger, a very small link. Go investigate, investigate as you like. What awaits you is despair. To actually dare to go abroad, you are looking for death."
Samuel tilted his head and lost his breath. From beginning to end, he didn't run away. Su Xiao could find this place, which showed that those people had already abandoned him.
Su Xiao confirmed that Samuel was already dead, but he still added a blade.
Quickly leaving the castle, Su Xiao rode Xiang Bubu Te Ni toward the airport.
He confirmed one thing: his parents might not be ordinary people. If they were not ordinary people, the result was self-evident.
He had investigated in the real world for many years, and the clues were broken here, but he was not discouraged. The mist had dissipated a little, but continuing to investigate in the real world was meaningless. The place where he could find clues was very likely Reincarnation Paradise!
Blood Eagle, Poison Orchid, strange yet familiar names. Weren't these the aliases of Reincarnation Paradise? No one in the real world would use such aliases.
Become stronger, he was not strong enough yet.
Xiang Bubu Te Ni ran fast, Su Xiao gradually calmed down. Samuel died of poisoning, which showed that Samuel was not afraid of death.
Thinking about it this way, what Samuel said was likely true.
I cannot be impatient, and I cannot continue to expose myself; I must deal with every situation with composure.
Xiang Bubu-tini's speed was very fast, and it wasn't long before he returned to the airport. The attack I had imagined didn't occur; it seems Samuel's words also had some exaggeration.
However, Samuel did reveal one piece of information: the country is safe, but going abroad is very dangerous.
Regardless of whether the other party's words were true or false, Su Xiao could not ignore them.
Boarding the plane, Su Xiao returned to his country one day later.
……
Returning to the villa by the sea, Su Xiao leaned back on the sofa.
"Things are becoming increasingly complex, but the direction is already clear."
If the enemies were from within Reincarnation Paradise, Su Xiao would absolutely not be afraid. No matter how powerful the opponent was, he would catch up head-on; if others put in ten times the effort, he would put in a hundred times.
Compared to finding a virtuous woman in the real world and eventually living out a life of birth, aging, sickness, and death, he would rather fight within Reincarnation Paradise—whether this is due to innate or acquired reasons, he does not know.
He already understands the reason he was chosen as a Hunter: it is because of his talent ability, 'Spirit Eater.'
As for the origin of Spirit Eater, Su Xiao gained the authority to inquire about it after the war world ended. Talent abilities are not hereditary; they are due to various factors.
Not only are talent abilities not hereditary, but if his parents possessed talent abilities, the chance of him obtaining one would be even smaller.
Su Xiao becoming a Hunter has absolutely nothing to do with his parents. Su Xiao believes that his parents would not want to see him become a contractor; they would even try their best to avoid such a thing. Reincarnation Paradise is a place where the weak are prey to the strong.
……
A few days later, Su Xiao adjusted his mindset to normal; he was already prepared to welcome the next derived world.
The next derived world is very important; it is a promotion world. In this derived world, Reincarnation Paradise will conduct an assessment of him.
If he passes the assessment, Su Xiao will be promoted to a Second Tier Hunter, and his level will be able to break through level 10.
Corresponding to the level is the difficulty of the derived world. If the level is not high enough, one cannot enter higher-tier derived worlds, and the speed of becoming stronger will become slower and slower.
If he fails the promotion world assessment three times, Su Xiao will be classified as a staff member, and from then on, becoming powerful will have nothing to do with him.
【A new derived world is about to open. The Hunter will return to Reincarnation Paradise. Please ensure there are no witnesses nearby.】
【Transmitting..., transmission complete.】
Su Xiao returned to his exclusive room. He immediately opened Alchemy and prepared to manufacture 【Low-tier Alchemical Secret Medicine】.
After paying 800 Paradise Coins, light flickered in Su Xiao's hand. Two minutes later, a bottle of potion appeared in his hand.
【Low-tier Alchemical Secret Medicine】
Origin: Reincarnation Paradise
Quality: White
Type: Recovery item
Effect: Drinking it can restore 19% of health points.
Rating: 9
Introduction: A product of Alchemy, already notarized by Reincarnation Paradise, good quality.
……
After seeing the attributes of the 【Low-tier Alchemical Secret Medicine】, Su Xiao nodded. After all, his Alchemy Potion Science is only level 1; being able to produce 【Low-tier Alchemical Secret Medicine】 is already not bad.
To improve Alchemy Potion Science, he cannot rely solely on manufacturing potions himself; it is best to borrow the support of major factions within the derived world. Alchemy Bomb Science is the best example.
Su Xiao manufactured some alchemy bombs, keeping his mana above 60%, which is enough to deal with emergencies.
With over 4000 Paradise Coins remaining, Su Xiao went to the trading market to start purchasing recovery items. Just as he finished purchasing the recovery items, the prompt from Reincarnation Paradise appeared.
【The Hunter will enter the derived world: Fullmetal Alchemist FA in ten minutes.】
Thanks to 'Ren Song Wai Hao Da Fei' for the tip. Feiwen is feeling very panicked inside, but very happy.
