Chapter 54: The Wolf in the Chicken Coop
It was soon eleven o'clock, accompanied by loud music.
*Ding*
The lights suddenly lit up the main stage, and the music stopped.
The ghouls on the stage stopped dancing and some of them were clearly displeased, but none of them dared to cause trouble.
— Ladies and gentlemen, the auction is about to start, please take your seats, " a voice with a strange accent said. It was the host in the clown mask who said that.
— Mr. Clown, are there any interesting things to do this time? I was very unhappy with the last auction, " the lady said.
Everyone present was wearing masks, so it was impossible to see the faces of those present.
If one ghoul was feuding with another ghoul, in case they found out about each other's true identities and reported it to the Ghoul Control Department, it would be the end for one of the ghouls.
Most of the ghouls were mice at the bottom of the sewer, hiding in the dark.
However, there were exceptions. For example, Takatsuki Sen, who was both the leader of the Aogiri Tree and the author of novels.
— Today's lots will definitely satisfy everyone, so... The host on stage had just announced the start of the auction, but Su Xiao immediately pressed the button on his headphones.
— As soon as Su Xiao's voice faded, several ghouls around him looked at him warily and stepped back.
— Hey, man, what did you just say?
— He definitely said "let's start", this guy is weird, kill him.
— Is he an investigator?" I'll kill him!
Just the word "starting" caused the entire auction house to boil over.
Everyone started to worry and whisper, and the host on stage realized that something was wrong.
*Pum!*
All the lights suddenly went out, and the room went dark.
Screams, roars... tables and chairs began to fly apart.
Su Xiao didn't panic and was calm.
A massive pair of night-vision goggles appeared in his hand, and he immediately put them on.
Although everything was now tinged with green, at least he could see everything perfectly.
After that, Su Xiao took out his sword and slowly walked towards the first ghoul he came across, then struck at it...
The ghoul couldn't see him clearly, but it stretched out its arms and tried to block his attack.
His body arched and flew a couple of meters...
Su Xiao personally made sure that the ghouls couldn't see in the dark.
Taking the sword in both hands, its blade immediately began to pierce through the flesh and blood of the ghouls around... blood started pouring everywhere...
Su Xiao was like a hungry wolf that was able to enter a chicken coop.
The blade of his sword kept flashing, taking several lives at once.
*Crackle... crackle...*
The sound of iron and bone clashing resounded throughout the auction house without interruption. The ghouls fell down one by one, and soon blood covered the floor.
In just a dozen seconds, more than 20 ghouls were killed by Su Xiao's sword.
The auction was held in a semi-closed building, which caused a thick bloody smell to appear in just a minute.
— The smell of blood!
— This is a control trap, run!
— I don't want to die, I don't want to die!!!
The auction house was in complete disarray.
More than a hundred ghouls began to escape...
Some of the strong ghouls immediately released their kagune and started killing anyone who came near them.
Naturally, they only killed other similar ghouls.
Su Xiao realized that he didn't have much time left, so he decided to speed up — he just started walking through the biggest piles, and there were only dead bodies left behind.
He kept getting blood on him, but he didn't care.
Did he feel anything about killing ghouls? Other people might have felt it, but he didn't.
Either they die, or he dies. Faced with the choice of killing or dying Su Xiao would simply swing his sword.
*Crackle!*
A glass bottle was smashed and a fire broke out...
One of the ghouls turned a bottle of alcohol into a Molotov cocktail and threw it on the floor.
The fire started to light up the auction and dispelled the darkness.
*Drip... drip...*
Blood dripped from the tip of the sword blade, and everyone's eyes focused on Su Xiao.
Next to Su Xiao, there were at least 30 ghouls lying randomly on the ground. All of them lost parts of their heads or their entire heads. Blood soaked the ground next to him and formed an extremely large pool of blood.
*Gulp*
The B-class ghoul swallowed, and his eyes were filled with horror.
His first thought was not to attack, but to escape.
But by this point, all the ghouls had discovered that all the exits from the auction house were blocked.
That was Su Xiao's order. The people outside were only there to block the escape routes. Even if he was in charge of this operation, the ghouls that were killed by the other Ghoul Control Office investigators wouldn't earn him many contribution points.
And since Su Xiao wanted to get promoted quickly, he needed to kill as many ghouls as possible by himself.
All exits were blocked, but soon the ghouls were able to destroy the barrier and break out, but there they saw large groups of investigators.
— It's over, I'm going to die today...
— Run, the guy with the sword is coming!
The scene became even more chaotic.
Su Xiao didn't stop, and bodies kept falling to the ground.
But not all the ghouls were running away — two "S"-class ghouls, one of whom was the lead and the other was his assistant, got in Su Xiao's way.
— You, you're a human being.
The assistant emcee's kagune name was koukaku, and since he was quite a big guy himself, his koukaku added a little extra bulk to his form.
He specialized in defense, so his speed wasn't very fast.
Su Xiao rushed forward, and the fat man shouted and rushed to meet him.
They quickly approached each other. Su Xiao was agile, while the fat man was like a tank.
— Die! The fat man immediately hit Su Xiao's head and body, but he easily dodged and quickly hit Su Xiao's leg with his sword.
*Pouf*
A thick leg fell to the floor.
There was a piggy squeal, and the fat man collapsed to the ground...
Su Xiao stepped on the fat man's back, and the tip of his sword came close to the back of the fat man's head.
— No, no, don't, I'll complain... "but the cold and sharp blade didn't give him a chance.
A long blade pierced through his head. Su Xiao didn't hesitate.
A pale green treasure chest appeared above the fat man's body, and when he saw this treasure chest, Su Xiao frowned.
For killing an S-class ghoul, he unexpectedly received a green treasure chest...
After putting the chest back in the inventory, Su Xiao's eyes focused on the second "S"-class drone.
Noticing Su Xiao's gaze, the clown-masked host quickly said, " Wait, I'm from the Tsukiyama family, you can't kill me.
