Difficulty Level: Lv. 12

Mission Introduction: Eliminate the Seven Deadly Sins, causing Father to lose most of his emotions.

Mission Deadline: 20 days.

Mission Reward: Rewards will be given according to the completion degree. The higher the completion degree, the more generous the reward. If the completion degree reaches (7/7), an extra reward will be given.

Mission Penalty: None.

Checking the information of the achievement mission 【Conviction】, Su Xiao nodded. Although he didn't know what the reward for 【Conviction】 was, this achievement mission was consistent with his goal: to weaken Father's forces.

Su Xiao cleaned up the battlefield, mainly cleaning up the bloodstains he left behind; homunculi might find him because of these bloodstains.

Su Xiao rode on Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was very sorrowful; he had to start traveling again.

Three hours later, Su Xiao returned to the town of Resembool, which had turned into a piece of charcoal. Although eight hours had passed, the fire caused by the explosion had not yet been extinguished.

There was no one around the town, and the fire from the explosion had engulfed the entire town.

Su Xiao wandered around the edge of the town for about two hours, and he finally waited for the person he was waiting for.

A troop of about three hundred soldiers rushed near the town; this was the cleanup troop agreed upon in advance.

"Explosion Alchemist, thank you for your hard work. We will handle it from here."

The squad leader of this troop looked at Su Xiao with lingering fear, seemingly horrified by Su Xiao's act of blowing up the entire town.

"The mastermind of the rebellion was an Ishvalan. Some of these Ishvalans escaped during the explosion, but they have already been cleaned up by me. Do you need to recover the corpses?"

Su Xiao looked at the small leader of the army. He had already prepared more than a dozen corpses, and they were indeed Ishvalans.

"No need, just knowing who the mastermind is is enough. Thank you for your hard work."

After speaking, the small leader of the army led people into the town, and Su Xiao walked toward a nearby town. He prepared to take the train back to Central City.

His action this time was: investigate the town, deploy bombs, detonate explosives, hunt down the fleeing Ishvalans, suffer minor injuries after fighting the Ishvalans, and then return to the town.

All of this took 9 hours and 12 minutes, without any flaws.

Anyone with a normal mind would not link the deaths of the two homunculi in 'Liore' to Su Xiao.

Liore is very far from Resembool. If Xiang Bubu Teni's running speed hadn't been fast enough, Su Xiao couldn't have made the round trip in more than nine hours.

Moreover, he had an alibi during these nine-plus hours, so it wouldn't matter even if the homunculi in Central City investigated him.

Sitting on the train back to Central City, Su Xiao began to consider the order of killing the homunculi.

Lust and Gluttony had already been dealt with; five homunculi remained.

The subsequent order was Greed, Envy, Sloth, Pride, Wrath.

Su Xiao arranged the killing order of the homunculi. This was not a mission requirement, but the importance of these homunculi to Father.

Among them, Greed is the easiest to deal with. This guy has been away for many years, and even if he dies, it won't attract anyone's attention.

The train moved slowly, stopping occasionally on the way.

"Passengers, we are about to arrive at the town of Dublith."

A prompt sound came from the broadcast. Su Xiao, who was already drowsy due to excessive blood loss, felt a bit more energetic.

"Dublith?"

Su Xiao suddenly felt that the name of this town was somewhat familiar, but for a moment he couldn't recall the specific situation of this town.

"Dublith, Dublith, where exactly is this?"

Recalling the place name Dublith in his mind, suddenly, a flash of inspiration came to Su Xiao's mind, and he thought of where Dublith was.

"Actually passing through here, it seems this is God's will."

Su Xiao pushed Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang on the seat next to him. This idiot was sleeping so hard that drool was flowing out.

"Wake up, get ready to get off."

"Woo~."

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang whimpered, but had no intention of getting up at all.

Su Xiao took out a meat bone and placed it in front of Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's nose. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's nose twitched in his sleep, and his head uncontrollably reached forward.

Under the temptation of food, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang woke up, but his eyes were bleary, and his gaze seemed to say: 'Who am I, where am I, I want to eat.'

Su Xiao got off the train. He had noticed this town when he was watching 'Fullmetal Alchemist.'

If he remembered correctly, Dublith is the town where the protagonist's master lives.

If the time calculation was not wrong, in at most two days, Greed would appear here.

After Su Xiao got off the train, not long after, noisy sounds came from the train.

"What's going on? It's already past the departure time."

"Yeah, I have urgent business back in Central City."

The train conductor was sweating profusely. The train had a problem, the specific cause was unknown, and it could no longer carry passengers.

"Passengers, please listen to me. The train has some problems. Please take the next train."

Arguments came from the station. Su Xiao didn't pay attention to the arguments; he was the one who broke the train.

If following the normal process, he must return to Central City. Although he was released from prison, this didn't mean he had gained freedom.

Before completely falling out with the homunculi, Su Xiao's whereabouts cannot be too far from Central City.

Arriving at a telephone booth, Su Xiao spoke the password, connected to the military line, and dialed Envy's phone.

"Hello, who is this?"

Envy's tone was always quite provocative, and the emotion of jealousy filled his mind.

"I am Explosion."

"So it's Explosion. I heard about the matter over there. You actually blew up the entire town. Really ruthless, haha."

"I can't return to Central City for the time being."

Su Xiao thought to himself whether to solve Envy earlier; this guy is equivalent to his monitor.

"Can't come back? Why, are you planning to escape alone?"

Envy's tone was somewhat dissatisfied.

"The train is broken, and I have injuries on my body. I plan to recuperate in Dublith."

"Is that so? Then fine, come back 'as soon as possible.' If you don't come back within three days, heh~."

Envy hung up the phone.

After Envy hung up the phone, Su Xiao's eyes flickered. The idea of solving Envy earlier became stronger.

"After solving Greed, it will be you, right?"

Su Xiao left the public telephone booth. He prepared to find a couple—that's right, the protagonist's master.

Su Xiao didn't intend to interact with the protagonist's master. If divided by camp, the protagonist's master belongs to 'Lawful Good,' while Su Xiao belongs to 'Chaotic Neutral' or 'Lawful Evil.'

The two sides are naturally incompatible, and the possibility of cooperation is not high.

Except for a very few protagonists, Su Xiao and most protagonists belong to the type who don't like each other.

The protagonist's master is a powerful female alchemist with some fame in the local area.

After some inquiries, Su Xiao learned the address of the protagonist's master, Izumi Curtis. The couple runs a butcher shop.

Su Xiao looked at Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang beside him.

"Xiang Bubu, the moment to show your charm has arrived." ===== CHAPTER 392 =====
