Chapter 1472: Accidentally eaten
Xia was breathing heavily. Her face was covered in drops of mud and water.
— We shouldn't have agreed to this mission. Trying to complete such a task in the real world is pure suicide, " the high school student said, covering her lower abdomen with one hand.
Blood dripped through her fingers onto her stockings and thighs.
— You think I wanted to take on a case like this? It was a mandatory mission, I had no choice, okay?
— Eh, loser, fine, I'll get their attention, and you'll attack them in the back. Although I don't want to admit it, you can fight better than me.
Just as the high school student was about to stand up, Xia immediately grabbed her arm. — And how do you attract them, do you want to die?
Xia felt desperate. Being the eldest in their group she was actually no better than her junior.
— Stupid girl, do we have any other choice?
— But?
— You're about to lose your life, do you really want to just keep waiting?
The high school girl was obviously much more determined than Xia.
Xia crossed her arms and quickly shook her head. Although what her friend said made sense, she still didn't want anyone to sacrifice themselves for her.
— You can consider it a gift.
— Xia was speechless for a moment.
— We are waiting for an opportunity. It's up to you, Xia, " the high school girl said and took a deep breath.
She trusted Xia very much.
Xia's expression turned serious. If anyone was going to die, it was her.
— Oh, beautiful lady, before your unnecessary heroic death, would you like to play with me for a little while?
Hearing that male voice, Xia and the high school girl almost jumped in fright.
A guy with bloodshot eyes squatted down next to Xia and a high school girl, holding a phone in his hand.
— I found them. One was hit several times, but the other didn't seem to be affected. Oh, I see. You only need to save the unharmed one. Yes, well, I understand. Brother Byakuya, let's kill someone together next time.
After hanging up the phone, the guy looked at Xia with a smile on his face.
Xia was willing to swear to the heavens that compared to the other contractors who were chasing her, this guy felt much more dangerous!
— Nice to meet you. I'm a Black Raven. Hmm... That's right, I came here because of Byakuya's request.
Xia and the high school girl looked at each other.
— Now I believe that you are very familiar with Byakuya, " the high school girl said and sighed with relief. She also sensed great danger from the Black Raven, but that was what convinced her that the contractors chasing them were no match for it.
— By the way, is Byakuya coming here personally? I wouldn't mind meeting him, " the high school girl asked, her face getting paler and paler. It was she who had previously been hit twice from a gunshot.
— If brother comes here, those idiots might have killed themselves, " Black Crow said, smiled, and stood up. "Send it.
— About?
— What about the enemies?
— Enemies? Black Raven thought for a moment, then scratched the back of his head shyly. "Ah, I accidentally ate them.
— Accidentally... ate them?! the high school girl immediately backed away.
— They were crispy and tasted like chicken. Send it. I'll take you to the nearest town. My boss is on his way here.
— All right, all right…
Xia and the high school girl got up and followed the guy.
With a loud bang, the signal flare exploded over the farm.
— Oh no, the boss is already here, " Black Crow was obviously getting nervous.
Noticing this change, the high school girl swallowed her saliva. Anyone who could scare the Black Crow like that must have been even more abnormal.
— If I remember correctly, Byakuya is a loner, so why did you help him? Xia asked.
— He saved me twice. I helped him out today. It's simple.
Although Black Crow was 'a bit' strange, it didn't mean that he was ungrateful.
A rustling sound came from the bushes nearby. The Black Raven immediately froze in place, and a gentle-looking man came out of the bushes, followed by a girl in pajamas.
— You... you just ate someone again.
— Boss, please listen to me, this is...
— All explanations are just excuses for mistakes made, " the man interrupted, and the flaming cone immediately pierced through the Black Raven's head.
— Is he dead?" The girl in pajamas asked and clapped her hands.
— You two, follow me, Black Crow will think over his mistakes here, " Yang Chen said.
— Boss, we've dealt with everything here, " a female voice said from nearby. This was said by a girl in a long white coat. The main healer, Yogurt, looked harmless and had a very pleasant call sign, but in reality she was a female version of Hannibal.
The fake clown was standing behind the Yogurt, forming a twisted duo of killers.
Liar Yang Chen, his Crazy Sister, Yogurt, Fake Clown… This group wasn't normal at all.
The high school girl and Xia looked at each other. They both felt as if they had just escaped from the prince's castle to the dragon's lair.
----
Five hours later, at Su Xiao's jewelry store.
— Thank you. Now we're even. If you're free, I don't mind talking, " Su Xiao said and hung up. Admittedly, Xia was lucky that Yang Chen and his men were not far away from her.
An oasis located somewhere in the distance in front of a tired traveler in the desert will not be able to quench his thirst. Even though Su Xiao could crush a rank two contractor with one hand, there was nothing he could do to help Xia when he was hundreds of kilometers away.
Since he had made it from rank one to rank four, he certainly knew many contractors, and many of them he could contact in the real world.
Most of the new contractors were hiding their tracks, but after Su Xiao was promoted to the third rank, he realized that hiding was pointless.
First, the real world had its own balance sheet. Unless something really serious was happening, the contractors would not fight each other in this world, usually taking revenge in the derived worlds, not in the real one. Stan's case was an exception among exceptions, and because of that, Stan had suffered a lot himself, because the Scavengers weren't all that weak.
Secondly, given the ability of contractors, if someone wants to find someone, will the target really be able to get away from the eyes of their abuser? Some of the skills for searching were too abnormal.
Third, when contractors fought in the real world, it was unclear who was stronger and who was weaker. Once, a fifth-ranked mage had a bite to eat with a fourth-ranked melee fighter. Since the contractors couldn't use active abilities in the real world, the rank five mage was killed. After this incident, contractors began to look less for conflicts in the real world. The uncertainty factor was too great, and the consequences were very serious.
As soon as Su Xiao hung up, Xia called him and said that she wanted to thank him for saving her, so next time, she would treat him to a hearty dinner at her restaurant.
She naturally knew how much money fourth-rank contractors usually managed, so she didn't even try to thank him with coins or things.
She knew that Su Xiao wouldn't even look in the direction of money.
After solving Xia's problem, Su Xiao began to rest. His body and mind gradually began to relax. Now, he finally understood why Rai forcibly teleported the contractors to the real world. Intense fights created problems with the psyche, and even if a person does not break, he will at least change a lot, and not for the better.
Under the setting sun, Su Xiao was sitting cross-legged in a reclining chair, playing a puzzle game on his tablet.
Bubtney was lying next to the chair, yawning.
