Chapter 51: Strongest Healing?

East side of the 14th Ward, inside the Dayuan Auction House.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this item is absolutely not to be missed..."

Accompanied by the host's introduction on stage, the bidders below began to call out prices.

It was daytime, so this was the human world; of course, even in the daytime, it was inevitable that a few Ghouls would mix in.

The atmosphere in the auction house grew increasingly heated; two solemn-looking old men had both taken a fancy to the item and began a bidding war.

Su Xiao was also sitting in the audience, but his focus was different from others.

The area of this auction house was not small, capable of accommodating at least several hundred people bidding simultaneously. The entire auction house had three exits.

They were: the main entrance, the back entrance, and the emergency escape route.

The emergency escape route was usually not opened and would only be opened in emergencies like a fire, but it was also necessary to block it.

If there were three passages, Mado Akira alone wouldn't be enough. It seemed he needed to mobilize others from the branch office.

Su Xiao stood up and walked through the crowd, arriving at the auction house's restroom, and took out his phone.

"Special Class Shinohara, this is Bai Ye."

Shinohara Yukinori should have been on duty; the sound on the phone was very noisy.

"What's wrong, First-Class Bai Ye?"

Shinohara Yukinori's address made Su Xiao pause; the other party actually called him First-Class. It seemed headquarters had already promoted him.

"I've discovered a large-scale Ghoul gathering spot and need manpower, a lot of people."

Su Xiao specifically added "a lot of people." To purge the 14th Ward, relying on just him and Mado Akira was a bit strenuous.

It wasn't that Su Xiao's combat power wasn't enough; to purge the 14th Ward, many people were needed to help block the routes.

"How many people do you need?"

Su Xiao, as a First-Class Investigator, had the right to mobilize manpower, but he couldn't mobilize too many.

"A lot, but they don't need strong combat power; as long as they can block the roads, that's enough."

Shinohara Yukinori on the other end of the phone thought for a while.

"The 14th Ward branch doesn't have many investigators; there are only about 80 investigators below Third-Class. However, tell me your plan first."

Su Xiao narrated his plan to Shinohara Yukinori, who was visibly stunned after hearing it.

"Purge the 14th Ward? This isn't a simple matter. Although there aren't many Ghouls in the 14th Ward, they are hidden very secretly. Do you have a way?"

"I have a way."

Shinohara Yukinori was silent for a long time.

"Go ahead. If this matter isn't done well, it might have a big impact on your future."

Su Xiao chuckled; he didn't care about any future.

"Doesn't matter. I'm taking action tonight."

"I can't make it there now, so I'll send Juuzou over. As for the manpower you need, they'll arrive soon."

Su Xiao made a move to hang up the phone, but was stopped by Shinohara Yukinori.

"Bai Ye, you've been promoted to First-Class Investigator; your credentials are at the branch office. I'll have Juuzou bring them to you."

"Mm."

Su Xiao hung up the phone.

Just as he was about to leave the restroom, he inadvertently saw a mouse.

This mouse was a bit special, its fur was pale yellow. Su Xiao looked closely; it turned out to be a hamster.

It wasn't surprising to have mice in the restroom, but why would there be a hamster? Was it a pet brought by a bidder? That wasn't impossible.

The pale yellow hamster wasn't afraid of people, squatting on the edge of the sink and standing upright, its two front paws holding something to gnaw on.

"Click~, click~, click~."

In the quiet restroom, there was only the sound of the hamster gnawing. The little thing puffed out its cheeks and chewed rapidly, looking very cute, its pair of pitch-black little eyes looking curiously at Su Xiao.

For some reason, Su Xiao suddenly had the feeling of being watched, as if this wasn't a hamster, but a person.

"Squeak~."

The little hamster squeaked, holding a small piece of carrot in its two front paws, and actually handed it toward Su Xiao.

The meaning was very clear: it wanted him to eat it.

Su Xiao gave a wry smile and turned away. Aside from being too smart, there was nothing wrong with this little hamster.

After Su Xiao left, the little hamster ate the carrot in a few bites and patted its belly with satisfaction.

A flash of blue light flickered in those pitch-black little eyes, and with a few agile leaps, the little hamster disappeared from the restroom.

In a residential house 500 meters away from the auction house, a young girl wearing a light green dress suddenly opened her eyes.

"Sister, I found him."

The green-clad girl had a pure appearance, with long hair draped over her shoulders. If one were beside her, they could smell a scent of grass and trees; it wasn't any perfume, but the smell of nature.

"How is it? Is he really as strong as Master Han Yu said? That guy is very cunning, appearing to fear us on the surface but actually harboring ulterior motives. If it weren't for the sake of that person, I would have wiped him out long ago."

A tall, mature woman wearing knight armor and holding a metal shield the size of a door spoke.

This equipment on the tall woman weighed at least two or three hundred jin, but looking at her, she used it very easily.

"Master Han Yu might have lied. According to Kaka's (the hamster) perception, that man strengthened three attributes simultaneously: Strength 13, Agility 13, Intelligence 12. His individual attributes are similar to ours; he just took a balanced route."

The green-clad girl yawned, her pretty face showing a hint of weariness; it seemed that controlling that hamster from a long distance wasn't easy.

The knight-armored woman frowned.

"I can understand high Strength and Agility, but what the hell is this Intelligence? He's a warrior who uses a sword, yet he strengthens Intelligence?"

The green-clad girl lay on the bed, her two fair calves kicked up, swaying from time to time.

"Who knows? Weirdos are everywhere, especially today."

After saying this, the green-clad girl giggled.

"Should we take him out?"

A slightly hoarse female voice came from the corner of the room. The corner was pitch black, and one could only vaguely see a woman wearing a tight-fitting suit.

If this woman didn't speak, no one would be able to find her.

The knight-armored woman was clearly the leader of the three, and she thought cautiously for a long time.

"Of course, take him out. Being alone in a faction is definitely not normal. Killing him will disrupt the balance of this derived world, and afterward, this derived world will produce a large amount of World Source. The three of us used exemption scrolls to enter a low-tier world and have no main mission; if we don't do something, it's a huge loss. This is an opportunity, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

The other two women in the room nodded.

"Then, Queen, when do we act?"

The green-clad girl yawned again, looking like she hadn't woken up.

"Just call me Queen, don't add 'my lord'; it's too tacky."

The knight-armored woman glared at the green-clad girl.

"I know, Queen~."

A charming laugh came from the corner.

"Black and White, you're following that 'airport' in making trouble too."

When the green-clad girl heard the word 'airport', she exploded, sitting up from the bed.

"I'm not an airport! My 'milk supply' is super large. If it weren't for my 'milk supply', you would have been a corpse in a Titan's mouth long ago."

The Queen suddenly thought of something and showed a gentle smile.

"Yes, yes, you are the nurse with the largest milk supply on the first floor. Let's stop joking; we'll act tonight."

Speaking of serious matters, the other two became solemn.

"I'll go find a high vantage point."

The woman who had been hiding in the shadows walked out, her plump figure outlined by a tight purple suit, her long purple hair tied into a ponytail, and on her back was a heavy sniper rifle at least a meter long.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Black and White."

Just like that, these three women of unknown origin began preparing to ambush Su Xiao. Su Xiao was completely unaware of this; he was currently preparing to annihilate the Ghouls in the auction. ===== CHAPTER 52 =====

The woman who had been hiding in the shadows walked out. A tight-fitting purple bodysuit outlined her curvaceous figure, her long purple hair was tied into a ponytail, and on her back was a heavy sniper rifle at least a meter long.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Hei Bai."

Just like that, these three women of unknown origin began preparing to ambush Su Xiao. Su Xiao was completely unaware of this; he was currently preparing to annihilate the ghouls at the auction.
