Chapter 56: Explosion

Outside the auction, many search officers held rifles as they were anxiously waiting.

They had never received this kind of strange order, in the task of killing ghouls, they surprisingly only needed to guard at the exit.

The fighting sounds incessantly came from the auction which made these Investigators anxious.

Mado Akira was also anxious, pacing at the back door.

“What happened inside, Byakuya is really too imprudent, even if he is strong, he can’t fight with so many ghouls alone.”

Twenty minutes passed, the incessantly screams from the auction hall had become abnormally silent, which made Mado Akira feel a little worried.

Su Xiao’s tired voice came from the Bluetooth headset when Mado Akira was waiting anxiously.

“Come in, start cleaning the auction and put down the fire.”

Put down the fire? Mado Akira had some doubts, but she still brought people to open the back door of the auction house.

The back door opened, Mado Akira led a large group of Investigators and rushed in.

Just entering the auction house, Mado Akira smelled a strong bloody smell, and her beautiful eyebrows wrinkled.

Mado Akira’s footsteps became faster as she runs to the lobby of the auction house.

“Byakuya…”

The scene stunned her.

A large number of ghouls were piled up randomly, on the pile of ghouls a man with a cigarette sat.

This cruel scene made Mado Akira step back subconsciously.

Mado Akira had seen many bodies, but she had never seen this kind of scene before. This scene may only appear on the ancient cold weapons war.

When Mado Akira wanted to approach Su Xiao, she suddenly felt her foot was slipping and almost fell down.

Looking at the ground, the ground had been infected with a layer of blood.

“What are you doing, start cleaning the bodies.”

Su Xiao threw the cigarette in his hand and put away dragon flash which was cleaned.

“Yes.”

Mado Akira straightened her body subconsciously.

Those Investigators were also shocked by the scene in front of them, but their mental qualities were excellent.

Taking out a lot of body bags and starting cleaning the bodies.

Su Xiao moved his sore body. He had tested his limits in this fight.

If the number of ghouls was more than one hundred, I would’ve been hard for him to deal with. If the number of ghouls exceeded two hundred, he would die.

Before the lights in the auction hall went out, he used the night vision device to seize the opportunity to kill as many ghouls as he can.

And the two S-class ghouls did join forces to attack. If the two S-class ghouls led other ghouls to fight with Su Xiao, the result today would have been totally different.

The situation tonight seemed to be thrilling, but Su Xiao was not doing this without a plan. If he ordered, a large number of Investigators would rush into the auction place.

He was confident that he will persist for a long time under the siege of a large group of ghouls.

Su Xiao understood his advantages. His advantages were a strong power and combat experience. If he fights one by one, he most likely won’t be injured.

However, if it is a group battle, because his Vitality was not high, and his defenses weren’t that strong, he would be at a disadvantage.

There was no one perfect in the world. Su Xiao now balanced the development of three attributes. If he develops his Vitality, the speed of progress will slow down, and he would fall behind other contractors.

Su Xiao was a hunter, so he had to be stronger than other contractors at the same level, or else how can he hunt the targets?

Sitting in the vehicle of CCG, Su Xiao looked at those Investigators who were cleaning up the bodies.

It took a while to clean up the auction floor. He could take this opportunity to take a break and restore his hp. By the way, his hp was only 27% currently.

Taking out the [Golden fried rice], the restorative food was in a static form and needed to be activated before he could eat it.

Choosing to activate the [Golden Fried Rice],

The outer light of [Golden fried rice] broke open and dissipated in the air, and the golden fried rice was surprisingly steaming.

A strange smell came, Su Xiao could not help but swallow, this thing seemed to be delicious.

Taking out the chopsticks he prepared in advance, Su Xiao tried to take a bite.

The rice was wrapped in soft eggs, and the rice was slightly harder. Under the egg wrap, the taste was excellent. Because of the excellent cooking technique, the aroma of rice and eggs was mixed together.

After Su Xiao took a bite, he couldn’t help but take a second bite.

This golden fried rice was extremely delicious. It was a food produced by Shokugeki no Soma world, and it was super delicious that can make people commit a crime just to eat it.

Su Xiao suddenly had an idea to kidnap a chef from Shokugeki no Soma world.

He was shaking his head with a wry smile, improving his strength was the most important thing, with strength, he won’t be worried about delicious food.

Unconsciously, he finished the golden fried rice in his hand, there was no rice left, but he still felt satisfied.

After drinking a bottle of mineral water, Su Xiao sat down on the seat with satisfaction. What better than eating a meal after fighting?

The feeling of warmth in the stomach, his hp gradually recovered.

With the recovery of hp, Su Xiao’s injuries began to heal quickly.

“What is this smell, it seems delicious.”

Juuzo Suzuya ran over, and his nose swayed.

“Suzuya, get on the car, let’s get ready to go back to the branch.”

Although Juuzo Suzuya was eccentric, he was still obeying orders.

“Are you eating something? Can you give me some?”

Juuzo Suzuya’s head came out from the seat and looked at Su Xiao with a smile.

“Tomorrow, I will give you a big meal.”

In the future, he still needed these people to follow him to clear the 14th district, and it was necessary to draw those people to his side properly.

He killed a lot of ghouls. There was a rule in the CCG that he could get a lot of money by killing ghouls.

This was very reasonable. The Investigator was a high-risk job, and the salary was so high that it made other people full of envy.

After promising to give Juuzo Suzuya a treat, Su Xiao began to sum up the gains and losses of this battle.

He got total of 372 contributions points in this fight, and his contribution points had become, [first-class Investigator, contribution points: 897/2000.], he still needed 1103 points of contribution so he could complete the task.

Harvesting a green treasure case, although he killed more than 100 ghouls, they did not drop any white treasure chests.

He began to wonder whether he was lucky or unlucky after this.

Through until now, he opened many chests, in addition to specific items, he did not get any good thing.

The dragon flash (white) was not from the treasure chest.

The soul crystal(small) was obtained because the gap between him and the monster was too large.

The roar of evil spirits (green) got from gecko’s Treasure Chest. But it is important to know that gecko an important character to the protagonist’s development. Killing gecko got a lot of ‘sources of the world’.

Even so, he only got a green ring with a score of 21.

“This ..”

Su Xiao sighed, he suddenly found out that he had the qualification of a leader.

Fortunately, he was not that unlucky, his luck is ordinary.

With a bitter smile, Su Xiao no longer thought about these things.

The bodies in the auction house were cleaned up at 1 am, and after those Investigators of the CCG assembled, the team returned to the branch.

This was undoubtedly a brilliant victory, they had no casualties, and killed all the enemies.

Many of the Investigators were smiling, as they looked at Su Xiao with awe.

The cars were driving on the street at midnight, with no one on the street, and it was particularly quiet under the dim light.

Su Xiao, who was sitting in the co-pilot, suddenly had an inexplicable stroke, as if he was in a deep valley and his body was still falling.

The danger was approaching from below!

Su Xiao did not hesitate to open the door, jumped directly, and rolled on the asphalt road to stabilize his body shape.

There was also a figure that jumped out of the car with Su Xiao, that was Juuzo Suzuya.

“Tuzzzz!”

The car suddenly exploded, it was blown up, and the whole car rolled for several laps before stopping.

There was a huge hole on the road, and the explosives were not hidden in the bottom of the car but hidden underground.

The fire was shining, and a strange scorching smell mixed with the smell of gunpowder came.

Su Xiao immediately discerned that this was the burning taste of ‘polyisobutylene,’ someone buried a C4 plastic bomb on his way.

There was a contractor who wanted to kill him, but if he wants to kill him by bombs alone, it will be too naive.

The dragon flash appeared in Su Xiao’s hands, and Su Xiao looked around vigilantly.

He had just rested in the car for more than an hour, and he recovered about 80% of his strength. His hp had been restored after eating restorative food three times.

Su Xiao had long guessed that there will be a contractor that will attack him, but he did not know the exact time.

When his Hp was very low, he did not hesitate to eat expensive restorative food, just in case.

It seemed that he was right, If he was in that weak state, he might have died.

    Outside the auction, many search officers held rifles as they anxiously waited. They had never received this kind of strange order before. Surprisingly, in the task of killing ghouls, they were only required to guard the exit. The sounds of fighting incessantly came from the auction hall, making the investigators anxious. Mado Akira, too, was pacing anxiously at the back door.

    "What happened inside? Byakuya is really too reckless. Even if he is strong, he can't fight so many ghouls alone," Mado Akira muttered to herself.

    Twenty minutes passed, and the screams from the auction hall had become eerily silent, which made Mado Akira feel even more worried. Just as she was anxiously waiting, she heard Su Xiao's tired voice coming through her Bluetooth headset.

    "Come in, start cleaning the auction and put out the fire."

    Put out the fire? Mado Akira had some doubts, but she still led her team to open the back door of the auction house. As they entered, a strong smell of blood assaulted Mado Akira's senses, causing her beautiful eyebrows to wrinkle.

    Mado Akira hurriedly made her way to the lobby of the auction house and called out, "Byakuya..."

    The scene before her stunned her. A large number of ghouls were piled up haphazardly, and sitting atop the pile was a man with a cigarette in hand. This cruel scene made Mado Akira instinctively step back, shocked by the sight before her. She had seen many bodies before, but never anything like this. It was reminiscent of a scene from an ancient war with cold weapons.

    As Mado Akira tried to approach Su Xiao, she suddenly felt her foot slipping and almost fell. Glancing down, she noticed that the ground was covered in a layer of blood.

    "What are you doing? Start cleaning the bodies," Su Xiao said as he threw away his cigarette and sheathed Dragon Flash, which had been cleaned.

    "Yes," Mado Akira replied, straightening her body subconsciously.

    The other investigators, although shocked by the scene, began taking out body bags and cleaning up the bodies.

    Su Xiao moved his sore body. He had pushed himself to his limits in this fight. If the number of ghouls had exceeded one hundred, it would have been difficult for him to deal with them. If it had surpassed two hundred, he might not have survived.

    Before the lights in the auction hall went out, he had used his night vision device to seize the opportunity to kill as many ghouls as he could. The two S-class ghouls did join forces to attack him, but if they had led the other ghouls in battle, the outcome would have been different.

    The situation had been thrilling, but Su Xiao had planned it carefully. If he had given the order, a large number of investigators would have rushed into the auction hall. He was confident that he could have persisted for a long time under the siege of a large group of ghouls.

    Su Xiao understood his advantages. His strength and combat experience were his assets. If he fought one-on-one, he most likely wouldn't get injured. However, in a group battle, his low Vitality and weak defenses put him at a disadvantage.

    He realized that no one was perfect. He had balanced the development of his three attributes. If he focused on increasing his Vitality, his progress would slow down, and he would fall behind other contractors. As a hunter, he needed to be stronger than others at the same level to hunt his targets effectively.

    Sitting in the CCG vehicle, Su Xiao looked at the investigators who were cleaning up the bodies. It would take a while to finish the

    cleanup, so he took the opportunity to take a break and restore his HP. Currently, his HP was only at 27%.

    Taking out the [Golden Fried Rice], a restorative food, Su Xiao activated it. The outer covering broke open, and the golden fried rice emitted steam. Its aroma wafted through the air, making Su Xiao's mouth water. He used the chopsticks he had prepared and took a bite.

    The rice, wrapped in soft eggs, had a slightly firm texture. The combination of rice and eggs created a delightful taste. The exquisite cooking technique enhanced the aroma, blending the flavors of the rice and eggs together.

    Su Xiao couldn't help but take another bite after the first. The golden fried rice was incredibly delicious, a dish from the world of Shokugeki no Soma that could make people commit crimes just to taste it.

    With a wry smile, Su Xiao shook his head. Improving his strength was more important than indulging in delicious food. Unconsciously, he finished the golden fried rice in his hand, feeling fully satisfied.

    After drinking a bottle of mineral water, Su Xiao sat back in his seat, feeling content. There was nothing better than having a meal after a fight. The warmth in his stomach gradually restored his HP, and his injuries began healing quickly.

    "What is that smell? It seems delicious," Juuzo Suzuya said as he approached, sniffing the air.

    "Suzuya, get in the car. We're preparing to go back to the branch," Su Xiao said.

    "Are you eating something? Can you give me some?" Juuzo Suzuya asked eagerly.

    "Tomorrow, I'll treat you to a big meal," Su Xiao replied. He needed these people to follow him when they cleared the 14th district, so it was important to win them over.

    Having killed many ghouls, Su Xiao had accumulated a significant amount of money. The CCG had a rule that investigators could earn a lot of money by killing ghouls. Considering the high-risk nature of their job, the generous salary was something that made others envious.

    After promising Juuzo Suzuya a treat, Su Xiao began to assess the gains and losses of the battle. He had earned a total of 372 contribution points, bringing his contribution point total to 897 out of 2000, still needing 1103 points to complete the task.

    Despite killing over 100 ghouls, he hadn't obtained any white treasure chests. Su Xiao began to wonder if his luck was good or bad. He had opened many chests, but apart from specific items, he hadn't obtained anything valuable. Dragon Flash (white) wasn't from a treasure chest, and the Small Soul Crystal was acquired due to the large power gap between him and the monster. The Green Roar of Evil Spirits was obtained from Gecko's Treasure Chest, but it was important to note that Gecko was a key character in the protagonist's development. Killing Gecko had provided him with many "sources of the world," yet he had only obtained a green ring with a score of 21.

    With a sigh, Su Xiao realized he had the qualification to be a leader, but his luck was just average. Pushing aside his thoughts, Su Xiao no longer dwelled on his luck.

    By 1 am, the bodies in the auction house had been cleaned up, and the CCG investigators assembled to return to the branch. It had been a brilliant victory with no casualties and all enemies eliminated. The investigators were smiling, looking at Su Xiao with awe.

    As the cars drove through the empty streets, bathed in the dim light, Su Xiao, sitting in the passenger seat, suddenly felt an inexplicable danger. It felt as if he was falling into a deep

    valley, his body plummeting downward.

    Without hesitation, Su Xiao opened the door and jumped out, rolling on the asphalt road to regain his balance. Juuzo Suzuya also jumped out of the car, mimicking Su Xiao's actions.

    A moment later, the car exploded, flipping several times before finally coming to a stop. A massive hole was left in the road, and the explosives had been hidden underground rather than in the car's bottom.

    The flames illuminated the surroundings, and a peculiar burning smell mixed with gunpowder filled the air. Su Xiao recognized it as the scent of polyisobutylene, indicating that someone had planted a C4 plastic bomb on his route.

    Someone among the contractors wanted to kill him, but relying solely on bombs to accomplish that would be naive.

    Dragon Flash appeared in Su Xiao's hands as he surveyed his surroundings vigilantly. He had anticipated an attack from another contractor, but he didn't know when it would come.

    During his weak state, Su Xiao had eaten expensive restorative food to ensure his survival. If he had still been weak, he might not have made it.
