Chapter 53: Ghoul Life

After Su Xiao paid 800 Paradise Coins, an extra skill appeared in his skill bar.

The newly appeared skill was an eye pattern, different from other skills; the new skill was pale gray, likely because it was a temporary skill.

Basic Detection (Temporary)

Skill Level: Lv. 2.

Usage Condition: 10 Mana points.

Skill Effect: Observe the data of any creature. The degree of information obtained is determined by the gap between your strength and the target's strength.

Note: Each level increase adds 5% to the completeness of the data.

Note: The cooldown time for this skill is ten minutes.

From the literal introduction, the 【Basic Detection】 temporary skill was quite good, but it wasn't clear what the detected data would look like.

"Mr. Bai Ye~?"

Juuzou Suzuya walked into the alley, looking at Su Xiao with confusion.

Seeing Juuzou Suzuya, Su Xiao raised an eyebrow and used 【Basic Detection】.

【Consumed 10 Mana points, Basic Detection activated, obtained the following information.】

Name: Juuzou Suzuya.

Third-Class Investigator.

Health: 100%

Mana: 50

Strength: 7

Agility: 10

Stamina: 6

Intelligence: 5

Charisma: 4

Luck: 1

Skill 1, Masochist (Passive): Becomes highly excited after enduring pain and ignores most pain.

Skill 2, Sadist (Passive): After showing a crazy side, will cause a deterrent effect on enemies, increasing damage by 8%.

All of Juuzou Suzuya's information was displayed before Su Xiao. The other party's strength was weaker than his, so the obtained data was very comprehensive.

【Basic Detection】 was a quite good ability, but unfortunately, it was only a temporary skill and would disappear after leaving the Ghoul world.

Su Xiao had already decided that after returning to Reincarnation Paradise this time, he would find a way to obtain a piece of equipment or skill to detect strength no matter what.

"Mr. Bai Ye~, where are we going?"

Juuzou Suzuya circled around Su Xiao, as if he didn't want to stop for even a moment.

Su Xiao stood in place, thinking. The appearance of this little hamster meant the enemy contractor had started to take action.

This made him somewhat puzzled. He felt his progress in completing the Main Mission was already very fast; could the contractors in the Ghoul faction be faster?

This possibility wasn't high. If the contractors in the Ghoul faction were really that strong, Reincarnation Paradise's balance mechanism wouldn't have been activated.

The reason Su Xiao wasn't vigilant about that hamster initially was for this reason, or perhaps the person monitoring him wasn't a contractor from the Ghoul faction at all?

Reincarnation Paradise was filled with danger; one couldn't solidify their thinking.

The contractor monitoring him now didn't seem to be appearing, and the source of the monitoring had been found and eliminated.

Even so, he was still in the light and the enemy was in the dark. He had to complete Main Mission (2) and couldn't stay in the dark.

"Juuzou Suzuya, follow me, back to the CCG branch."

Su Xiao decided to return to the CCG branch temporarily. Juuzou Suzuya was different from Mado Akira; this little white-haired guy had some combat power.

If an enemy contractor appeared, Juuzou Suzuya could at least serve as a delay. If the enemy contractor wasn't strong, Juuzou Suzuya could even kill one or two contractors.

The Main Mission couldn't stop; he wouldn't stop executing the mission just because a contractor was monitoring him—that would be the most stupid choice.

If there is danger, one must solve the source of the danger, not escape. This was Su Xiao's style of doing things.

In the lobby of the CCG branch, two rows of investigators wearing suits stood before Su Xiao.

"The matter is roughly like this. Tonight at nine o'clock, we'll gather here again."

After Su Xiao left this sentence, he walked toward the logistics department.

After Su Xiao left, the Ghoul investigators in the lobby began to discuss in low voices.

These investigators didn't know the specific plan; Su Xiao only told them the routes that needed to be blocked.

No one knew if there were Ghoul informants in the CCG branch, so it was better to be careful.

After arranging the plan for tonight, Su Xiao returned to the dormitory on the upper level of the CCG to rest.

He had a feeling that there would be some changes in the plan to purge the auction today.

Now there were still a few hours before executing the plan; he had to seize the time to rest.

At nine o'clock that night, the CCG branch was brightly lit. Many CCG vehicles gathered at the entrance of the branch, and fully armed CCG members were already waiting there.

Su Xiao walked out of the branch, and Mado Akira greeted him.

"First-Class Bai Ye, the personnel have gathered; we can depart at any time."

Mado Akira was slightly nervous; this was her first time participating in a Ghoul extermination operation of this scale.

"Depart."

Su Xiao got into the car. The sound of car doors closing followed one after another, accompanied by the dull sound of engines. Su Xiao led a team of nearly a hundred people to set out.

With Su Xiao's status as a First-Class Investigator, it was impossible to mobilize so many people; this was specially approved by Shinohara Yukinori.

As for why Shinohara specially approved it, it was just because he was strong.

Moreover, purging the Ghouls in the 14th Ward held no small temptation for Shinohara Yukinori.

The motorcade arrived near the auction house twenty minutes later. The CCG members got off the cars quickly, hid the vehicles first, and gradually surrounded the auction house.

These people all had experience in exterminating Ghouls and were silent in the pitch-black night.

"Mr. Bai Ye~?"

Juuzou Suzuya's voice came through the Bluetooth earpiece on Su Xiao's ear.

"How is it?"

"Already arrived at the position. No abnormalities for now. Should we kill our way in?"

Juuzou Suzuya's strange laughter came through the earpiece.

"Stay put."

Su Xiao switched channels to contact Mado Akira.

"Akira, report the situation."

"No abnormalities. We are hidden very well."

Su Xiao continued to contact others; the three exits of the auction house were all being monitored by people he sent.

It was now 9:30 PM, and there was still more than an hour before the auction started; it wasn't time to act yet.

"First-Class Bai Ye, the mask you wanted."

A CCG member wearing a black combat suit brought a mask.

When the CCG moved in large scale, they were all dressed like this; the heavy combat suit could reduce casualties.

Taking the mask, Su Xiao put it on and walked toward the auction house.

The main entrance of the auction house was locked, and only the back entrance was open.

Ghouls couldn't hold an auction openly, let alone in the 14th Ward.

Arriving near the back entrance of the auction house, Su Xiao took out a small can of spray and sprayed some on his clothes.

This was a spray to hide scent, preventing Ghouls from seeing through his human identity.

Most Ghouls had dog noses; if Su Xiao entered the auction house directly, he would definitely be discovered.

His plan to purge the auction house was very simple: he would enter the auction house alone first, and once the auction started, he would directly block the three exits, followed by a feast of slaughter.

"Password."

Just as Su Xiao was about to walk into the back entrance of the auction house, a burly Ghoul stopped him.

"Human blood."

After Su Xiao said this strange password, the burly Ghoul let him pass.

"No trouble, or I'll slaughter you."

Su Xiao didn't care about the burly Ghoul's threat; he was here to kill Ghouls today.

Walking into the Ghoul auction, the scene here was different from the daytime; the appearance of the auction house changed greatly at night.

Before the auction started, the auction house was playing high-energy music, and in the corner of the ceiling, a neon light had even been temporarily installed.

Dim environment, dazzling colorful lights, and deafening music.

These Ghouls were truly daring; weren't they afraid of being discovered? They were actually having a blast before the auction started.

Under the flashing of the seven-colored lights and the high-energy music, some female Ghouls were so excited that they even took off their tops, twisting their bare upper bodies.

Crazy, hysterical—that was the feeling these Ghouls gave Su Xiao.

These Ghouls were living days without knowing if they would have tomorrow, so they were reveling to their hearts' content. ===== CHAPTER 54 =====
