This outpost is a maze.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao stepped out of the darkness, cigarette dangling from his lips, ascending the rooftop. He’d sprinted hard to get here and paused briefly to catch his breath—if not for the sound of battle, he’d have arrived even later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The night wind blew, making his white coat snap loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He flicked away his cigarette butt, exhaled deeply, and walked slowly toward the shopkeeper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike his daughter Takatsuki Izumi, the shopkeeper had far more combat experience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the shopkeeper was not without weakness—he hadn’t eaten a living human in many years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This had caused his RC cell count to drop, weakening his combat power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re planning to eat that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao held Zhan Long Shan, its blade angled toward the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of the shopkeeper’s kakuhou had been deactivated; in his hand, he gripped a large fragment of \"New\"—torn off during his clash with Shinohara.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The primary material of \"New\" was the kakuhou of an SSS-level kakuja, so its RC cell concentration was thousands—even tens of thousands—of times higher than human flesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I don’t consume it, I won’t be able to fight you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, the shopkeeper’s kakuja shell opened its maw and swallowed the large fragment whole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the shopkeeper swallowed the fragment, Su Xiao lunged forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d run too hard to reach the rooftop and paused briefly afterward—if not for that, he’d have already been locked in combat with the shopkeeper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhan Long Shan flashed a cold blade, slicing toward the shopkeeper; along its path, faint blue electric arcs flickered across its surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To fight the shopkeeper, Su Xiao would not underestimate—he activated Qinggangyingsuo immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shopkeeper raised his arm; the kakuhou wrapped around it clashed with Zhan Long Shan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"CLANG.\" A sharp metallic ring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hardened kakuhou was chipped, and Qinggangyingsuo’s energy surged into the shopkeeper’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His internal RC cells burned; the shopkeeper grunted, but after a lifetime of battle, such agony, though terrifying, did not affect him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sharp blade technique—but this level of attack won’t take my life.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he blocked Zhan Long Shan, the kakuhou on his other arm, shaped like a blade, stabbed toward Su Xiao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The angle was exquisitely vicious; Su Xiao reacted swiftly, ducking just in time—several strands of black hair drifted down, revealing the razor-sharpness of the shopkeeper’s kakuhou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao spun a blade flourish, his longsword striking relentlessly as he clashed head-on with the shopkeeper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In raw attributes, Su Xiao was slightly inferior—but his exquisite swordsmanship compensated for it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"CLANG, CLANG, CLANG...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Longsword and kakuhou clashed rapidly, sparks flying; they exchanged over a dozen blows in mere moments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the rooftop, a tall and a short figure battled fiercely, surrounded by four observers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Incredible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amon stared blankly at the scene before him, his heart surging with turmoil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man before him might even be younger than him, yet he could fight the One-Eyed Owl alone—this contrast made Amon’s chest ache.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s why Headquarters assigned him to District 24 and made him a temporary member of Zero Team.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’ve probably never seen Baiye clearing out ghouls in District 14.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shinohara, drenched in blood, sat on the ground, eyes locked on the battle ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shinohara, let me go help him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kuroiwa, less injured, still had some stamina left after activating the \"New’s\" original form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No. If we move forward, we might disrupt his battle.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All four fell silent, remaining seated, watching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the command vehicle, Maru Sai watched the screen with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Indeed, bringing you here was the right decision.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this, Maru Sai sat back, relaxed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the rooftop, Su Xiao and the shopkeeper’s battle had reached its fever pitch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shopkeeper gave Su Xiao the impression of growing stronger with each clash—not an illusion, but because of the \"New\" fragment he’d consumed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His RC cell count was skyrocketing; his kakuja shell was steadily strengthening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shopkeeper had grown from his original height of about 2.5 meters to a staggering 3 meters; the kakuhou on his body glowed with a blood-red luster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had regained some of his youthful glory—no longer the old man once cut down by several Special Class Investigators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"THUD.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Xiao kicked the shopkeeper’s side waist; the shopkeeper staggered back several steps, yet suffered no injury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fierce battle left Su Xiao breathing heavily; the shopkeeper was no better off—his kakuhou arms were pitted and dented, with holes in several places.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What an exhilarating opponent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Failing to break through didn’t discourage Su Xiao—it only stoked his battle fervor.
