Chapter 719

The Umbrella-less Brother's message was very long, and Su Xiao began to look at it carefully.

Christmas (Solo): "Bai Ye who uses a blade? It should be you; others wouldn't call me that. I don't have many remaining speaking opportunities, so the content of this message will be very messy; you understand it section by section.

First, three high-tier contractors entered the Holy Grail world. I guess they used items to enter. Their purpose is unknown; it could be revenge, or it could be for other things.

However, they will kill all the contractors they can find! I witnessed them wipe out a small adventure group of twelve people.

Three people, two men and one woman. A male fire-type melee mage (has long-range ability, I witnessed it), a male main tank, slightly chubby build, and a female controller, guessed to be a Charisma attribute specialist, specializing in control systems.

My time might be running out. Bai Ye, you are very strong; perhaps... you can survive. Also, besides the three of them, there might only be two of us contractors left in this derived world. If those three used items to enter this world, they cannot see this message. (My remaining speaking opportunities: 1)."

After seeing this message that could be taken as a last will and testament, Su Xiao felt somewhat uneasy.

Judging from the situation on the derived world contact platform, it is unlikely that the Umbrella-less Brother is lying. After the Umbrella-less Brother sent this message, the derived world contact platform was as quiet as if it were haunted.

"High-tier contractors, three people, hunting other contractors..."

Su Xiao took out a cigarette. Just as he was about to light it, a weak female voice came from the doorway.

"Patient... no, you can't smoke~"

It was Matou Sakura peeking and looking from the doorway.

"Who told you that."

Su Xiao looked at Matou Sakura. With Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's help, this little loli's mental state had recovered a lot.

"My mother."

"Your mother didn't tell you that peeking at others is wrong."

"Seems like... no. I peeked at Rin taking a bath, and after she discovered it, she invited me to bathe together."

Matou Sakura tilted her head, her short purple hair hanging down to her cheeks.

"That's not called peeking. Go play with Xiang Bubu."

"Oh~"

Matou Sakura ran away. Su Xiao continued to think about the Umbrella-less Brother's previous message. After a long time, he sent a message on the derived world contact platform.

Bai Ye (Solo): "How much longer can you hold on."

A few minutes later, the Umbrella-less Brother replied.

Christmas (Solo): "At most one day (within 24 hours). They are tracking me. How about we join forces?"

The Umbrella-less Brother's speaking opportunities were exhausted.

Bai Ye (Solo): "After 20 hours, meet in the black fog."

The black fog Su Xiao mentioned here is not that there is black fog anywhere in the Holy Grail world; it is an adjective, an adjective that only the Umbrella-less Brother can understand.

Previously in the trial world, the Dark Forest was wrapped in black fog, so the black fog is the forest, and there is only one forest near Fuyuki City.

Su Xiao's meaning is that after 20 hours, meet in the forest outside Fuyuki City. As for why he didn't go to find the Umbrella-less Brother now, it's because Su Xiao is recuperating.

With his physique + Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's aura + potions prepared by alchemy, he needs at least 18 hours of recuperation to recover his combat power.

Moreover, Su Xiao and the Umbrella-less Brother have only cooperated once. People's hearts are unpredictable, and whether the other is completely trustworthy remains to be seen. The Umbrella-less Brother might have already been caught by someone and sent the message under coercion; this possibility is not non-existent. If the situation in the Holy Grail world were not too eerie, Su Xiao would not have made such a choice.

"It seems the time to participate in the Holy Grail War will have to be postponed again, but joining forces with other Masters is not impossible."

Su Xiao checked the remaining time for the main mission; there were 12 days left in the world. If there are really high-tier contractors in this world using items to enter, then fighting against Heroic Spirits is just looking for death.

Su Xiao finally understands why he couldn't see contractors before, making this derived world seem like a "single-player game." Those contractors didn't hide; they were all killed by someone.

What is the purpose of those three? Just killing all the contractors to explode crimson cards? Or fighting through the Holy Grail world?

Neither of these possibilities is likely. The Holy Grail world is not a world suitable for hunting contractors; the crimson card drop rate here is only about 20-30%. There are many Second Tier worlds more suitable for hunting contractors than here.

As for fighting through this world to get a large reward? This possibility is also not likely. Su Xiao has seen the items that allow high-tier contractors to enter low-tier worlds once. That thing is terrifyingly expensive, and the quantity is scarce. Moreover, after high-tier contractors enter a low-tier world, their strength will be suppressed. Generally, large adventure groups like to acquire such items.

If it's not for wealth, then it's for love or hatred. There are very few people who talk about feelings in Reincarnation Paradise, so the possibility of hatred is greater.

Possessing items held by large adventure groups, seeking revenge, not moving the main mission after entering the derived world, and directly killing contractors—this may be to prevent the Second Tier contractors in the derived world from joining forces, so they are broken one by one, not giving them a chance to join forces. It's decisive enough, and ruthless enough.

Clues emerged in Su Xiao's mind. Although he doesn't like to use conspiracies and tricks, in Reincarnation Paradise, which is full of old schemers, one won't live long without using their brain.

"How come it feels like it's aimed at me..."

Su Xiao exhaled a puff of blue smoke. This is not him being narcissistic, but he meets all the conditions mentioned above.

Having a grudge with a large adventure group (Blood Gate Adventure Group), strength is not weak, and after joining forces with a large number of Second Tier contractors, high-tier contractors with suppressed strength might have died at his hands.

"Stein?"

Su Xiao is very puzzled now. Suddenly, a slight burning sensation came from his hand; it was the cigarette between his fingers about to burn out. He extinguished the cigarette in the ashtray on the bedside table.

"If Stein came for revenge, how did they find me?"

This is a point Su Xiao cannot figure out. His number is a fake number. Not to mention that it cannot be tracked, once someone tries to track his number, Reincarnation Paradise will immediately prompt him.

Su Xiao did not receive any prompts, but besides the number, other things can also be tracked, such as an item in his storage space that has been coordinated, or his blood, etc.

These things can be used for tracking, but the cost is not low. With Stein's style of doing things, would he really do this for a seed member?

Su Xiao began to check the items in his storage space. After checking all the items, he did not find anything suspicious.

If it's not an item, could it be that they obtained his blood? And tracked it? This possibility is not non-existent, but it is very small.

Taking Su Xiao's financial resources as an example, if he were to track someone at all costs, and it was the most difficult blood tracking, he would need to sell all his equipment and also fill in the gains of two or three derived worlds. More importantly, high-tier contractors only enter derived worlds one tier lower than themselves; this is an iron rule.

The current situation can be said to be a mess, but Su Xiao has a feeling that if it is really Stein who sent someone to hunt him down, then this matter is definitely not just the decision of a large adventure group, but involves a larger force.

Su Xiao stopped worrying about this matter. If they come, kill them; if he can't beat them, run; if he can't run, die. There is nothing to be afraid of. He is barefoot and not afraid of those wearing shoes. If they push him too far, he will directly counter-hunt the Blood Gate Adventure Group.

Relaxing his mind, Su Xiao quickly entered deep sleep.

Fifteen hours later, Su Xiao's fingers moved, and he sat up on the bed. He began to untie the bandages on his body.

The wound on his chest had largely recovered, and as long as he didn't engage in too tragic battles, it would be no problem.

Moonlight shone into the room. Su Xiao yawned. After his mind recovered and became clear, he checked the completion degree of the Talent Awakening mission.

【Talent Awakening mission completion degree: 95% (Extremely Excellent).】

【Prompt: 70% of contractors have a Talent Awakening mission completion degree of below 40%, 20% of contractors have a completion degree of above 60%, 5% of contractors have a completion degree of 70%, 3% of contractors have a completion degree of 80%, 1% of contractors have a completion degree of 90%, 0.13% of contractors have a completion degree of 92%, 0.00041% of contractors have a completion degree of 93%...】

From the prompt, it seems that Su Xiao over-completed the mission. As for reaching 100% completion degree, he never had that expectation. With his current strength, that is simply unrealistic.

"Paradise, awaken my talent."

With a great enemy in front, Su Xiao wants to awaken his talent ability to strengthen his combat power.
