Chapter 899: Sudden Change
Seven men and women were standing not far from Su Xiao. They all had superpowers. The weakest of them was a level 3 esper, and the strongest was a level 4 esper.
And when they stood next to each other, the symbols on their foreheads flashed.
In Su Xiao's eyes, these seven people were like puppets that were connected to each other by silk threads. These threads were divided into seven colors, and above the heads of these people floated the head of a big-headed baby.
This big-headed baby had seven eyes, and each of its eyes was half open.
Upon seeing this, Su Xiao's light red aura immediately condensed and created a beast head. This beast's eyes were blood-red, and its mouth was full of sharp fangs.
The beast smiled fiercely, and a blood-red mist poured out of its mouth.
— Not good. It seems we've angered Mr. Hunter, " just as one of them said that, Su Xiao saw the notification from Heaven.
[Warning: The abnormal intruder is a kilometer away from the Hunter, the hunting function has been activated.]
Su Xiao frowned. The main body of the Seven Sinful Desires was not far away. For most contractors of his level, one kilometer was a small distance, not to mention violators.
All these words could only be a trap to keep Su Xiao waiting in this scientific complex while the main forces of the scientific side or the main puppets of the Seven Sinful Desires were being pulled up to him.
A crow suddenly appeared above the science complex, an alchemical circle swirling in its eyes.
Su Xiao quickly noticed a black-hooded figure who was jumping from one building to another.
The figure suddenly stopped and looked at the crow. She had a rather pretty face, but it was covered in cracks, as if it was a broken ceramic piece.
As a result, the figure stopped about five hundred meters away from the complex, on the roof of a tall building.
Su Xiao was a little puzzled. He was seriously injured after a fight with Accelerator. His right arm was numb, and his left arm, although in better condition, was still not without wounds.
No matter how you look at it, it was the perfect moment to kill a Hunter.
However, Seven Sinful Desires decided not to interfere and stopped at a safe distance from Su Xiao.
In the science complex, Su Xiao's gaze swept over the seven bodies.
Suddenly, there were loud footsteps coming from the corridor behind him, and a dog and a man soon ran out into the light.
Yegor and Bubtni have arrived.
Bubtney was holding an ancient-looking book in his mouth. Its cover was made of animal skin. It wasn't very thick, about the thickness of a finger.
Yes, it was a grimoire of dead spirits.
Su Xiao decided to take on the attention of Seven Sinful Desires while Bubtni and Egor searched for the dead spirits grimoire. They were successful, but in the process of searching for Yegor, they shot him a couple of times. Although he was stronger than a normal person, his steps were somewhat unsteady at this point.
Bubtny handed Su Xiao the grimoire of dead spirits and a notification immediately appeared in front of him, but before Su Xiao could read it, Egor fell to the floor with a thud.
Blood slowly began to spread out on the ground. A man strong enough to fight a brown bear with his bare hands fell. One of the bullets pierced his heart. That he was able to hold out until this moment was only the result of his monstrous willpower.
— Your daughter is safe. She left the seventh district long ago. Her new guardian is Tina Gregory.
Yegor's pupils began to dilate.
His heart was punctured, he lost a lot of blood, several of his internal organs were seriously damaged, his lungs began to swell, and his brain was overtaken by severe hypoxia. Even if a third-rank healer was present, they wouldn't be able to save Yegor.
But he was willing to die for his daughter. He only came all the way here to hear these words from Su Xiao.
— I could... Yegor said, and his eyes lost their sparkle forever.
His body will forever lie in this cold research facility.
At the same time, at the airport of a small European country, a woman was holding a little girl of 6-7 years old in her arms.
The little girl had a fair face and looked more like a porcelain doll.
She is Yegor's daughter. The reason why he became a part of "Hound Dog" was because his daughter was suffering from a rare and strange disease. The bones in her body were as fragile as ceramic, and fractures were quite common for her.
Faced with such a disease that could not be cured by "modern methods", Yegor eventually learned about Academy City, specifically the seventh district of Academy City. The facts showed him that there he could find a cure, for the development of this alienated city was ten or twenty years ahead of the rest of the world.
Although it was easy to get into Academy City, it was very difficult to leave this city. As a result, the father and daughter were locked up in Academy City. Without permission, they couldn't leave the city, so they could only live in it for the rest of their lives. Yegor's job was to kill unwanted people. As for his daughter, when she reaches a certain age, they will help her develop superpowers and she will eventually become another experimental animal.
Yegor gave his life in exchange for his daughter's freedom.
He died in battle.
He had known from the beginning that invading this research facility with Su Xiao would lead to his death. Even if he hadn't died in the complex itself, he wouldn't have been forgiven for having a knife stuck in his back. But this was what he wanted. As long as his daughter was safe, nothing else mattered.
Before Su Xiao and Alistair became enemies, Su Xiao used his influence and was able to arrange the departure of Egor's daughter from Academy City.
Su Xiao was always true to his word and resolute towards his fellow soldiers.
Yegor's daughter was immediately sent to a small and peaceful country in Europe.
Bubtni looked at Yegor's body with sadness.
Although he was clearly in pain before he died, he was smiling. He had a black backpack on his back. This backpack was a meter long and half a meter thick. It contained Su Xiao's "insurance" .
Although he was injured, he didn't throw it off and was able to keep it intact.
Su Xiao glanced at the Paradise notification and felt relieved.
[The hunter found a grimoire of dead spirits, it is a genuine grimoire.]
[The trial mission, Grimoire of Dead Spirits, has been completed.
You want to report on the completion of this task?
yes/no.]
[Reminder: After completing the mission, the Hunter will be returned to the Reincarnation Paradise.]
Although he had completed the main mission and could return to Paradise, his mission as a Hunter wasn't completed yet.
If he leaves right now, the consequences of this choice will be very serious. Although there was no punishment for this mission, given his past experience, he would definitely once again become something like a "Judge" who couldn't interfere with the battle directly, but had to achieve victory by any means necessary.
— Mr. Hunter, do you want to leave? Arrogance under the control of the Seven Sinful Desires asked. — If you make a deal with me, you'll never regret it." Not to mention my strength, I'm very confident in my intelligence gathering abilities.
And the Seven Sinful Desires did not boast. Based on what he said earlier, more than 95% of the contractors at his level didn't know as much as he did.
This was most likely due to his special abilities.
— Let me tell you my story. I'm different from other violators. I was forced to break the rules. In fact, it wasn't me who broke the rules of Paradise, but some bastard who took over my mind and body. Not taking Paradise seriously is easy... Stupid! Haughtiness said and ground his teeth.
