Chapter 56: Explosion
Outside the auction house, many investigators were holding briefcases and anxiously waiting for something to happen.
They had never received such a strange order. They had been sent to clear the building of ghouls, but now instead of cleaning it up, they were standing and watching the exits from the building.
The sounds of fighting could be heard continuously from the building, making these investigators uneasy.
Akira Mado was also worried and was pacing by the door.
— What the hell is going on inside, Byakuya is being too reckless. Even if he's strong, he won't be able to fight so many ghouls alone.
Twenty minutes later, all the sounds had died down, which made Akira Mado uneasy.
But suddenly, Su Xiao's tired voice came from the earpiece, " Come in, start cleaning and put out the fire.
Put out the fire? Akira Mado had some doubts, but she still led the people inside the auction house.
When they fully opened the door, Akira Mado led a large group of investigators into the room..
When she stepped inside, she smelled a strong smell of blood, and her beautiful brows furrowed.
Akira Mado's footsteps quickened, and soon she ran into the lobby of the auction house.
— Byakuya... the scene before her stunned her.
A large number of corpses were scattered here and there, but in the midst of this scene, a small mountain of corpses stood out, with a man sitting on it with a cigarette in his mouth.
This violent scene caused Akira Mado to step back.
Akira had seen many corpses, but she had never seen such a scene before. This scene could only have appeared in some ancient war where only edged weapons were used.
When Akira wanted to approach Su Xiao, she suddenly felt herself slipping and almost fell.
Looking at the floor, she saw that the entire floor was covered in blood.
— Su Xiao threw away his cigarette and wiped his sword before putting it away.
— Yes, " Akira subconsciously straightened up.
The other investigators were also shocked by the scene before them, but they quickly reacted and took action.
They started unpacking the body bags and cleaning up the bodies.
Su Xiao began to stretch his aching body. With this fight, he realized his limits.
If there were about a hundred ghouls, they wouldn't be able to kill him, but if there were more than a hundred, he would die.
Before the lights went out, he used the night vision device and killed quite a few ghouls.
And two "S"-class ghouls joined forces and attacked him. If they had led the other ghouls along and attacked Su Xiao, the result would have been completely different.
He was able to survive, it seemed, because of pure luck, but Su Xiao had a trump card up his sleeve — just one order from him and a large number of investigators would rush in.
He was initially confident that if anything happened, he would be able to hold out until reinforcements arrived.
Su Xiao was well aware of his advantages. He had strength and experience. If other investigators had immediately come to his aid, he wouldn't have even received a single wound.
However, as for a battle like this, due to the fact that his stamina stat was quite small, he ended up at such a disadvantage.
But there was no one in the world who was perfect. Right now, Su Xiao had three balanced attributes. If he starts to develop his stamina, his progress rate will slow down significantly and he will eventually fall behind other contractors.
Su Xiao was a hunter, so he had to be stronger than other contractors of the same level, otherwise how would he be able to hunt other contractors?
Sitting in the car of the Ghoul Control Department, Su Xiao watched the investigators who were removing the bodies.
It will take some time to clean up the auction hall. He decided to take advantage of this opportunity and began to recover his strength.
Since his health score was only 27%, he took out a golden fried rice. Such food remained in its "packaged" form even after he took it out of the inventory, so he had to "tear" the packaging before eating it.
After confirming that he wanted to remove this protection, the special film that covered the rice disappeared, and the golden fried rice immediately began to smoke as if it had just been cooked.
When he smelled it, Su Xiao swallowed. The smell was too much for him.
Taking out his chopsticks, Su Xiao picked up some rice.
Each piece of rice was wrapped in an egg, making it slightly harder than usual. After stuffing some rice into his mouth, it tasted great.
Su Xiao couldn't help himself and immediately stuffed some more rice into his mouth...
This golden fried rice was extremely delicious, but after all, it was produced in the world of 'Seeking the Divine Recipe', but even so, it was so delicious that it was not a sin to commit any crime for it.
Su Xiao suddenly came up with an idea... shouldn't he have gone to this world and kidnapped the main character of this world?
But soon, he shook his head. He had to become stronger, not strive to get delicious food.
In the blink of an eye, he ate all the rice.
After drinking a whole bottle of mineral water, Su Xiao happily settled back in the seat.
What could be better than a meal after an exhausting battle?
Warmth soon began to radiate from his stomach, and his health gradually began to recover.
Su Xiao's wounds began to heal quickly...
— That it smells like that, that smell is so nice~, " Juzo Suzuya said, inhaling the air nonstop.
— Suzuya, get in the car, let's go back to the branch office.
Although Juzo Suzuya was an eccentric youth, he obeyed orders.
— Did you eat something?" Can you give me that, too?" Juzo Suzuya looked at Su Xiao with a smile.
— I'll treat you to a nice lunch tomorrow.
He still needed helpers to clean up the 14th district. What he really needed to do was get more investigators on his side.
He killed a large number of ghouls. There were certain rules in the Ghoul Control Department, and now he would be able to get a lot of money.
The work of an investigator was fraught with great risks, so the salary of investigators was so high that it caused envy among some people.
After promising to treat Juzo Suzuya, Su Xiao began to take stock of this battle.
He had received a total of 372 contribution points, and his contribution points had reached the mark of 897 points.
He still needed to score 1,103 contribution points...
In the end, he was only able to get one green treasure chest, and although he killed over 100 ghouls, he didn't get any white treasure chests.
This made him think about his luck.
Up to this point, he had opened many chests, but other than certain items, he didn't get any good stuff.
His sword wasn't obtained from a treasure chest.
The soul crystal was only obtained because the gap between him and that tiger was too big.
The ring in the form of the roar of evil spirits fell out of the chest for killing Oomori, but Oomori is an important character for becoming the main character. For killing Oomori, he also received quite a large amount of the World Source.
Other than the ring from the chests, he didn't get anything else good.
— Hoo-hoo-hoo... — Su Xiao sighed. He suddenly discovered that his luck wasn't very high.
Fortunately, no bad things happened to him, so he was fine.
With a bitter smile on his face, Su Xiao decided not to think about such things anymore.
The removal of the bodies from the auction house was completed only at one o'clock in the morning, after which all the investigators returned to the branch.
It was undoubtedly a brilliant victory. They took no casualties and killed all the ghouls.
Many of the investigators were smiling and looking at Su Xiao in awe.
A convoy of cars was driving down the street at midnight. There was no one on the street and it was especially quiet.
Su Xiao, who was sitting in the car with his eyes closed, suddenly shuddered.
The danger was located at the bottom!
Su Xiao didn't hesitate to open the door and jump out of the car...
Juzo Suzuya jumped out of this car along with Su Xiao.
*BOO-Oo-Oo-M!*
The car suddenly exploded and rolled over several times before coming to a stop.
A huge pit appeared on the road...
Su Xiao immediately recognized the smell — it was the burning smell of "polyisobutylene". Someone placed a plastic bomb right on the road.
But the person who wanted to kill him was too naive.
The sword appeared in Su Xiao's hands and he looked around warily.
He managed to recover about 80% of his strength. As for his health, it was completely restored.
Su Xiao had long thought that some contractor would come for him sooner or later, but he didn't know when exactly.
Fortunately, he had fully recovered his health and his body was now in the best possible condition. If he was in a weakened state, he might not have had time to react.
