After Sin Seven Desires returned to Reincarnation Paradise, Su Xiao's hunting mission changed.

【Prompt: Hunting mission completed. Completion rate 94%.】

【You have obtained Golden Honor Medal x2, authority increased by Lv. 3.】

【Prompt: Because the hunting mission completion rate exceeded 90%, you have obtained an extra reward: one draw from the Wheel of Fate.】

Seeing the extra reward for the hunting mission, Su Xiao sneered at it. He had heard of what the Wheel of Fate was. It was said that the items produced by this thing were varied—equipment, attribute enhancement potions, skill scrolls, daily items, and food were all included. Opportunities to draw were very rare.

However, Su Xiao was not very interested in this thing. After a long period of 'groping,' he had some resistance to most draw-type rewards, except for treasure chests. The value of items produced by treasure chests was relatively stable.

The lesson of drawing Scarlet Cards many times was still fresh in his memory. To this day, Su Xiao basically didn't open Scarlet Cards much; it was all done by Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang.

As for this Wheel of Fate, he might have to draw it himself; it was unlikely Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang could do it for him.

For this hunting mission, Su Xiao had thought he would have to fight a bitter battle; after all, this was the convention. Now it seemed it was not the case. This 'abnormal' title didn't seem to represent how dangerous this rule-breaker was. Su Xiao's meeting with Sin Seven Desires was more about letting Sin Seven Desires express his own attitude. After all, Reincarnation Paradise would not take the initiative to negotiate with rule-breakers; everything in Reincarnation Paradise was conducted according to certain regulations.

Sin Seven Desires could be called the 'Husky' among rule-breakers. If other rule-breakers saw today's scene, they would definitely say lightly: "Sin Seven Desires, you are too shameful, leave the group."

Sin Seven Desires really did 'leave the group.' Memories related to 'taboos' were permanently cleared, and he would no longer remember meeting Su Xiao.

Although Sin Seven Desires appeared somewhat cowardly, Su Xiao would not despise the other party. The other party had great self-knowledge, knowing that his own power was not obtained through fighting, but was a pie falling from the sky.

Facing a Hunter like Su Xiao who accumulated strength bit by bit through fighting, Sin Seven Desires was not deceived by his own powerful attributes. He knew that if it were a life-and-death struggle, a Hunter pushed to a desperate situation would definitely be an abnormally ferocious existence.

Sin Seven Desires, who had only fought a few times, chickened out, and he chickened out at an appropriate time. He first showed his ability (Scythe of Seven Desires). Now it seemed that the meaning was clearly: "I am not easy to mess with, you must not come to find me. I can control other people's desires and emotions; I am very strong."

After that, Sin Seven Desires went back to his old profession, collecting intelligence within Academy City. During this period, he also contacted many Qiyuezhe. By borrowing the power of a tiger (fox borrowing the tiger's power), he obtained a lot of intelligence. Not long ago, he discovered that Su Xiao might have fought Accelerator. Having obtained this intelligence, Sin Seven Desires began to prepare.

He went from mysterious -> slowly chickening out -> pouring out bitterness -> completely chickening out.

If Su Xiao had struck immediately when meeting Sin Seven Desires, Sin Seven Desires would have had a 60% or more chance of turning around and running away. He simply wouldn't fight, which is why he chose to appear only after Su Xiao fought Accelerator. This was safer.

Su Xiao was puzzled when he killed Accelerator; Aleister's people didn't come out to stop him. This was very abnormal. Now it seemed that Sin Seven Desires had used his ability to stall the people sent by Aleister.

With things developing to this point, Su Xiao had to leave Academy City as soon as possible and return to Reincarnation Paradise.

As for why he didn't return to Reincarnation Paradise now, the reason was simple: he couldn't return to Reincarnation Paradise while in a combat state. The Hound Unit had already sneaked into the research institute, and snipers had already locked onto Su Xiao.

Intelligence is also a kind of power. In fact, Sin Seven Desires hadn't completely chickened out before; he was 'fighting' Su Xiao with intelligence, 'fighting' Su Xiao with the ability he was best at. This kind of fight wouldn't have blood and flesh flying, but it was equally dangerous.

As long as he left Academy City, this derived world mission would end. He had already thought before that the stay time in this derived world would not be long; after all, he was here to complete the promotion mission, not the main mission.

Main missions would make Su Xiao's connection with the derived world closer, usually divided into several rings, and the mission time was longer. As for the promotion mission, it only had one ring, and the connection with the derived world was not precise.

Su Xiao tossed a golden treasure chest in his hand. His harvest in the Magic Index world was not bad. In the absence of a main mission, being able to have such a harvest was already very satisfying.

"Xiang Bubu, get ready to run."

Su Xiao flipped onto Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's back and took out an electronic map. The Second District where he was now was on the edge of Academy City. The location of the research institute was in the center of the Second District. As long as he pushed forward to the south, he would soon be able to rush out of the range of Academy City.

"Woof."

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang barked. At this time, both the man and the dog were covered in light, not knowing how many guns were aimed at them.

"Run!"

While Su Xiao shouted, dozens of small white frogs nearby exploded. These were alchemy bombs he had arranged in advance, originally intended to deal with Sin Seven Desires.

Boom!

Firelight surged within the research institute, and the air wave spread out. Members of the Hound Unit were blown away.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang rushed straight toward the outer wall of the research institute, as if it were going to crash into the wall.

A blade light flashed, and the wall in front of Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was shattered. It leaped and jumped out from the hole in the outer wall. The dazzling sunlight made Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang squint.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang landed, performed a 90-degree drift, its hind legs kicked the ground quickly, and its furry tail kept its balance. The landing posture was mysteriously funny.

Just as Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was about to run forward, Su Xiao, who was riding on Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's back, felt his pupils shrink. A golden secret pattern on his cuff flashed.

Thud!

An invisible air wave spread, and a large number of tadpole-shaped symbols appeared in the air around Su Xiao. The space within 50 meters was sealed.

On the roof of a building not far away, a girl with twin tails was standing on the roof, looking at Su Xiao.

"Ability... failed?"

The girl held a military flashlight, her eyes full of doubt. It was Awaki Musujime.

Clang!

A pale blue blade light with a diameter of five meters flew from afar. Awaki Musujime felt cold all over.

Boom, boom, boom...

A large amount of debris appeared in front of Awaki Musujime, including metal chairs, experimental equipment, etc.

With a swish, everything blocking the blade light was sliced open, and a red ponytail flew up.

Awaki Musujime knelt on the ground, covering her head with one hand, blood streaming down her cheeks. She gasped for breath. When executing missions with Su Xiao, her feeling was not obvious. Now that they were enemies, Awaki Musujime felt Su Xiao's merciless killing intent.

"So... this man who squeezed into a car with me and had a speechless face is so terrifying. But a mission is a mission. If I don't work hard, I won't survive either."

Just as Awaki Musujime was about to stand up, a small white snake crawled near her.

"Not good!"

Awaki Musujime immediately used her spatial ability.

Boom!

The air wave hit her head-on. Awaki Musujime concentrated all her energy and teleported away several metal fragments flying toward her.

Not to mention Awaki Musujime, who was stunned by Su Xiao's series of attacks, at this time Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang had already carried Su Xiao very far, beyond Awaki Musujime's ability range.

The Spider Queen appeared in Su Xiao's hand. He pulled the bolt and fired a shot at a small fighter plane in the high sky.

Bang!

With one shot, the small fighter plane was smashed to pieces. Su Xiao turned the muzzle and searched for Awaki Musujime through the sight. Unfortunately, Awaki Musujime was not within the shooting angle.

Putting away the Spider Queen, Su Xiao took out a detonator.

"Wait, perhaps we can talk."

Aleister's voice came, from a trash-can-shaped robot nearby.

"Talk? Too late."

Su Xiao could manufacture the Apollo of the Sun God. In Academy City, a city with advanced technology, it was not difficult to manufacture a high-power bomb.

As for where it was manufactured, it was in the hotel where Su Xiao met Tsuchimikado Motoharu before. After he negotiated with Aleister about the Kihara family, it seemed he destroyed the Windowless Building in the room out of anger, but that was not the case. He had collected a lot of materials for manufacturing bombs in his storage space. He had to find a place where Aleister could not monitor him to manufacture a high-power bomb.

After reaching a consensus with Aleister initially, Su Xiao knew that Aleister was unreliable. This guy had once sacrificed his wife, let alone others.

Once Su Xiao affected Aleister's plan, Aleister would definitely turn against him. For example, now, Su Xiao killed Accelerator, which was beyond Aleister's expectations.

In Aleister's original plan, even if Su Xiao fought Accelerator, it was within control. However, Sin Seven Desires' interference made Aleister unable to control the development of the situation.

Aleister's grand plan seemed watertight, but he ignored the existence of Qiyuezhe. This was something beyond his understanding. For this, he had to pay the price.

After Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang ran very far, Su Xiao pressed the detonator in his hand.

"Sending you a 'firework,' Aleister. Pity, I can't send you a 'sun' to taste."
