Chapter 64

After lying on the road to rest for a few minutes, Su Xiao stood up with difficulty.

His health was now around 16%, and he was exceptionally exhausted. Although the 【XT-12 Life Vitality Potion】 had recovered his general injuries, it couldn't recover the massive blood loss and the overdraft of his stamina.

Above the Queen's corpse, a blood-red card was floating.

This card flashed with red light in the night, exceptionally conspicuous.

Even from a distance, Su Xiao could feel that the red light seemed to exude a bloody smell.

Su Xiao picked up the blood-red card, and the Reincarnation Paradise prompt appeared.

【You have obtained 'Scarlet Card', use it or not.】

【Prompt: 'Scarlet Card' is obtained after killing a Qiyuezhe; after use, you can perform a random draw.】

【Prompt: Each 'Scarlet Card' has three draw opportunities, which will randomly draw items or equipment from the deceased Qiyuezhe's storage space or worn equipment.】

【Prompt: The Ghoul World is a semi-peaceful scene; after a Qiyuezhe dies, there is a 50% chance to drop a 'Scarlet Card'.】

Su Xiao didn't draw the 'Scarlet Card' immediately but put it into his storage space.

It wasn't safe now; he couldn't confirm if there were other Qiyuezhe present.

Su Xiao walked to the side of a sleeping CCG member, leaving a trail of blood along the way.

Finding a phone on that CCG member, Su Xiao recalled for a few seconds and dialed a number.

"Mr. Shinohara, the squad I led was attacked, we need support."

Yukinori Shinohara, who was processing important documents in his office, stood up with a whoosh.

"Are there any casualties? Where are you? I'll be there right away."

Yukinori Shinohara was a very reliable superior; he rushed out of the office immediately and began to mobilize personnel.

"The specific location is unclear, just locate this phone. As for casualties, Suzuya might have sacrificed himself, but I didn't see his body."

Hearing that Juuzou Suzuya might have sacrificed himself, Yukinori Shinohara felt a tightness in his chest.

But this was the fate of Ghoul Investigators, and Yukinori Shinohara didn't say much.

"First Class Byakuya, how are you now? Judging by your voice, you are seriously injured."

"I'm fine, I won't die within a few hours. I'll try my best to find Suzuya."

Juuzou Suzuya was someone Yukinori Shinohara had assigned to him, and Juuzou Suzuya had helped him a lot in the battle. After hanging up the phone, Su Xiao began to search for Juuzou Suzuya nearby.

Not long after, Su Xiao found Juuzou Suzuya in a shop on the street; the striking bloodstains exposed Juuzou Suzuya's location.

Juuzou Suzuya was lying face down in a clothing store, with a large pool of blood beneath him.

Su Xiao turned Juuzou Suzuya over to check his vital signs.

It had to be said that Juuzou Suzuya was lucky; he had several gunshot wounds, none of which were in vital locations.

"Cough~, cough."

Juuzou Suzuya coughed up a mouthful of blood unconsciously, his eyes opening a slit.

Su Xiao pondered for a moment, took out a 【Salt Rice Ball】, and stuffed it into Juuzou Suzuya's mouth.

Juuzou Suzuya had no consciousness at all and couldn't make chewing movements.

This didn't stump Su Xiao; he put his index and middle fingers together and inserted them into Juuzou Suzuya's mouth.

"Woo~."

Juuzou Suzuya let out a whimper, and the 【Salt Rice Ball】 was stuffed into his throat and then got stuck.

Su Xiao saw Juuzou Suzuya's body twitch, his eyes widen, looking at him with a look of dying with regret.

"Gulp."

The 【Salt Rice Ball】 was swallowed by Juuzou Suzuya, and Juuzou Suzuya fell into a coma again; perhaps he hadn't been awake at all.

Whether restorative food was effective for plot characters, Su Xiao didn't know, but Juuzou Suzuya had helped him earlier, so he would try his best to save the other party; it was that simple.

It could be said that without Juuzou Suzuya's help, Su Xiao might very well have died from the siege of the Queen + Hei Bai + Ye Zi.

Initially, Juuzou Suzuya blocking Hei Bai played a very important role.

After being barbarically stuffed with the 【Salt Rice Ball】 by Su Xiao, Juuzou Suzuya woke up leisurely within five minutes; the restorative food was effective.

"Mr. Byakuya, am I dead?"

"Not dead, you are still alive."

Su Xiao sat leaning to one side, lit a cigarette, and moved as little as possible; he had many wounds on his body, and blood was slowly flowing out.

"The woman earlier was really strong; I was almost headshot. So happy~."

Juuzou Suzuya didn't seem to have the joy of surviving a disaster and was the same as usual.

"But Mr. Byakuya, I feel my throat is very painful, and my mouth is uncomfortable too."

Su Xiao, who was resting with his eyes closed, twitched the corner of his mouth slightly.

"Your illusion."

"Is that so? But there is the taste of food in my mouth. It seems like someone forcibly stuffed something into my mouth just now."

"Illusion."

Su Xiao had the appearance of an old monk in meditation.

"Is that so? Strange."

Juuzou Suzuya scratched his head, and the several gunshot wounds on his body seemed not to exist; this might be related to Juuzou Suzuya's passive ability (Masochist), that strange ability that would turn pain into a sense of excitement.

Not long after, it became noisy outside; it was Yukinori Shinohara who had arrived with people.

"Byakuya, First Class Byakuya."

Yukinori Shinohara's shouting came.

Before Su Xiao could speak, Juuzou Suzuya had already shouted loudly.

"Mr. Shinohara~, we are here."

After Juuzou Suzuya's shout, Yukinori Shinohara rushed in with people.

"Suzuya, so you are fine."

Seeing that Juuzou Suzuya wasn't dead, Yukinori Shinohara couldn't help but smile.

"Byakuya, how are you?"

Yukinori Shinohara walked up, and after seeing Su Xiao's injuries clearly, Yukinori Shinohara was shocked.

"Quick, call medical personnel immediately."

Su Xiao's serious injuries shocked Yukinori Shinohara, who ordered the investigators behind him to find medical personnel.

Medical personnel arrived quickly. At this time, Su Xiao's head was a bit dizzy; he had lost too much blood. After the 【XT-12 Life Vitality Potion】 recovered his abdominal wound, the efficacy of the potion was greatly reduced, and other injuries only recovered a small portion.

"First Class Byakuya, hold on."

After arriving at the scene, Yukinori Shinohara had already guessed the general situation.

Su Xiao had completed the cleanup of the auction house; the body bags scattered on the street were the best evidence.

Judging from the explosions at the scene and those bullet holes, it should have been that enemies ambushed Su Xiao's squad.

In the CCG, such things were not uncommon; while exterminating ghouls, they also had to guard against ghoul retaliation.

Su Xiao was carried onto a stretcher and rushed to the CCG hospital for emergency treatment. In the same medical vehicle, Juuzou Suzuya was also lying.

Su Xiao relaxed a little temporarily; massive blood loss made him want to sleep, but he couldn't.

He didn't trust the CCG much; if the CCG high command suddenly ordered him to be transplanted with ghoul organs, he would be at a huge loss.

It sounded absurd, but it wasn't impossible; there were precedents for such things, they just hadn't been exposed.

So throughout the entire medical treatment, Su Xiao remained awake, refusing blood transfusions and refusing the doctor to inject him with anesthetics.

After emergency treatment, his bleeding stopped, and his condition stabilized.

Lying on the warm and dry hospital bed, Su Xiao gradually fell asleep; in the CCG hospital, at least he didn't have to worry about threats from the ghoul side.

Because of excessive blood loss, Su Xiao only woke up after sleeping for more than ten hours. His health had recovered to 65%. Although the wounds would still ache faintly, he already had the strength to fight.

Su Xiao sat up, leaning against the hospital bed; having slept for more than ten hours, he felt energetic.

The room was pitch black; it was still night.

The danger had completely receded, and Su Xiao gave a bitter laugh, sighing that even a Lv. 2 derived world was filled with danger.

With nothing to do, he took out the 'Green Treasure Chest' and the 'Scarlet Card' he had obtained earlier.

After hesitating for a moment, Su Xiao opened the 'Green Treasure Chest' first.

【Use or not use the treasure chest (Green).】

Chose to open.

This time opening the treasure chest was different from the past; the treasure chest opened slowly, and a blinding green light emerged from within, even illuminating the entire hospital room...
