Chapter 51: The Hamster
On the east side of the 14th district, Dayuan Auction.
— Ladies and gentlemen, this lot is definitely not to be missed...
Under the guidance of the moderator, the auction participants placed bids.
The atmosphere in the auction hall became more and more tense, and the two serious-looking old men clearly fell in love with the item and fought each other over it.
It was currently daytime, and there were ordinary people present at the auction at the moment. Su Xiao was sitting near the stage, but he was different from other people.
The area of this auction house wasn't small, and it could accommodate at least a few hundred people, however, because of this, this room had three exits.
Main entrance, back door and emergency exit...
The emergency exit only opened in emergency situations, such as a fire, but it still had to be blocked just in case.
It was impossible to rely on Akira alone. For this case, it was necessary to take a couple of people from the branch in a good way.
Su Xiao got up and went to the bathroom, then took out his phone.
— Yukinori Shinohara, this is Byakuya.
Yukinori Shinohara was at the branch, but it was quite noisy right now.
— What's up, Investigator first class, Byakuya?
The name Yukinori Shinohara called by Su Xiao shocked him, he unexpectedly called him first class. It seemed that the headquarters had helped him with his promotion.
— I found a large gathering place for ghouls, I need the help of the investigators, and as much as possible, " Su Xiao deliberately added "as much as possible." After all, he wanted to clear out the 14th district. Only he and Akira will have a hard time doing this.
It wasn't that Su Xiao wasn't strong enough. To clear the 14th district, he only needed people to block the entrances and exits of this auction house.
— How many investigators do you need?
As a first-class investigator, Su Xiao had the right to mobilize other investigators, but he couldn't mobilize too many.
— A lot of them, but they don't have to be strong — the main thing is that they can block the escape routes.
On the other end of the phone, Yukinori was lost in thought.
— There aren't very many investigators in Branch 14, there are about 80 of them on the third level, but first you have to tell me about your plan.
Su Xiao described his plan, and Yukinori was clearly shocked when he listened to it.
— Cleaning up the 14th district? This is not an easy task. Although there aren't many ghouls in the 14th district, they are all hiding. Do you have a way?
— There are.
Yukinori Shinohara was silent for a long time.
— I understand, but if this case is not done well, it will affect your future.
Su Xiao chuckled, he didn't care about this " future».
— It doesn't matter, I'll start acting tonight.
— I'll send it to Juzo Suzuya. As for the investigators, they will arrive a little later.
Su Xiao was about to hang up the phone, but Yukinori suddenly said — " Byakuya, since you've been promoted to first class investigator, I'll ask Juzo to bring the documents to you.
— Su Xiao hung up the phone.
When he was about to leave the bathroom, he accidentally noticed a mouse.
This mouse was a bit special — the fur all over its body was a pale yellow color. When Su Xiao examined it carefully, he realized that it was a hamster.
If there were mice in the bathroom, then this would not be surprising, but where did the hamster come from? He was the pet of someone from the auction participant?
The pale yellow hamster wasn't afraid of humans. He was standing right on the edge of the sink, and his two front paws were holding something, and he was chewing on it pretty fast.
In the quiet restroom, only the sounds of a hamster eating could be heard. This little creature was squeaking and chewing, which made it look quite cute, and soon, a pair of dark eyes looked at Su Xiao curiously.
Su Xiao suddenly felt that it wasn't a hamster that was looking at him, but a human being.
*Squeak~*
The little hamster squeaked and raised a small piece of carrot towards Su Xiao with its front paws.
Su Xiao smiled, turned around, and left the restroom. Except that this little hamster was too smart, there was nothing unusual about it.
After Su Xiao left, the little hamster ate the carrots and patted its belly in satisfaction.
A blue light flashed in his dark eyes, and after a few lithe somersaults, the little hamster disappeared from the restroom.
----
In a private house 500 meters from the auction house.
The girl in the light green dress suddenly opened her eyes.
— Sister, I found it.
The girl in the green dress looked clean and had long hair that reached her shoulders. She smelled pleasantly of grass.
— So, is he really as strong as Han Yu said? This old man is very cunning, he looked like he was afraid of us, but he's not. If it wasn't for his information, I would have killed him right away, " a tall woman in knight armor said along with a door-sized metal shield.
The equipment she was wearing weighed at least two or three hundred kilograms, but it was as if she didn't feel its weight at all.
— Han Yu might have lied. According to Squeak's assessment, he had increased his strength to 13 points, agility to 13 points, and intelligence to 12 points. His stats are equal to ours, except that he took a more balanced route.
The girl in the green dress yawned, and her pretty face looked slightly tired. Apparently controlling the hamster at such a distance was not easy for her.
The armored girl's brows furrowed.
— I can understand strength and agility, but intelligence? He really is a swordsman who decided to raise his intelligence?
The girl in green lay down on the bed, her two white legs shaking from time to time.
— Who knows, strange people often come across us, maybe this time is no exception, " after these words, she giggled.
— Kill him? A slightly husky female voice came from the corner of the room. It was quite dark in the corner of the room, but a woman in tight clothes could be seen there.
If she hadn't spoken, no one would have noticed her.
The girl in armor was obviously the leader of the trio, and she had considered this suggestion long and carefully.
— If we kill him, the balance will be destroyed, and then this world will create many Sources of Peace. The three of us used a scroll to enter this low-level world. If we don't do something, we will be in a big red, but now we have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
The other two women in the room nodded.
— Then, Mrs. Queen, when are we going to do it?" the green-robed girl yawned again.
— Just call me Queen, don't add missus, it sounds too weird, " the girl in armor stared at the girl in the green dress.
— All right, Mrs. Queen~, " a charming smile appeared on her face.
— Leaves, you're so naughty, but you're flat as a board.
Hearing the word "flat", the girl in the green dress immediately became angry. — I'm not flat, and I have a lot of "milk". If it wasn't for my "milk", you would have stayed in that giant's mouth.
The Queen remembered something and smiled.
— Yes, you are the "babysitter" with the most "milk". Okay, kidding aside, we'll do it tonight.
Everyone became serious.
— A woman who had been hiding in the dark stepped forward, and a tight purple robe outlined her figure. Her long purple hair was tied up in a ponytail, and she carried a heavy sniper rifle that was at least a meter long on her back.
— I'll count on you, Leaves.
The three women started preparing to ambush Su Xiao.
Su Xiao was preparing an ambush for the ghouls...
