On the train, Su Xiao closed the communication platform. The first prize this time was very tempting to him. As long as he obtained the 'Tree Bud', he would be able to gain access to the Seventh Level, the Land of All Living Beings.
The sixth level of the Land of All Living Beings has improved the efficiency of practice to an astonishing degree. The effects of the seventh level are unimaginable, and there may be unexpected gains, especially in the development of sword skills.
If you want to compete for the first place this time, you don't need to do anything specifically to obtain the source of the world. However, right now, Su Xiao has not obtained even 1% of the source of the world.
Judging from the current situation, it is not easy to obtain the source of the world in this world. Fortunately, Su Xiao has not failed anyone in this regard.
The journey to Dongquan Town is not close. At the speed of the train, it will take more than 30 hours. Judging from the distance, it is faster to rush there at your own speed. However, Dongquan Town is a small land with remote soil. It is very troublesome to find it.
It's safer to take the train.
The round trip took a lot of time, and Su Xiao had already prepared it. He set the initial coordinates through [Orientation Coordinates] in his office in Youke City, and then he could go back with the help of the demon clan's space array.
The sun was rising outside the car window. Su Xiao speculated that there was unlikely to be an attack, so she lay down on the small bed to rest. She was busy in Dongquan Town.
As there were fewer and fewer passengers on the train, the scenery outside the train window became more and more beautiful. After passing through a large cherry forest, the train stopped and arrived at the long-distance terminal.
Su Xiao stepped off the train, and some simple train stations appeared in front of her. There were very few people in the station. Some travelers wore loose clothes and looked leisurely. Unlike the prosperous Gaman City, Dongquan Town is a good place for vacation.
, the hot springs here are very famous, and behind them are snow-capped mountains, where the snow never melts all year round.
"Sir, I am Mente, a field member of the asylum."
A man wearing a black formal suit and a top hat spoke in a low voice. Looking at his expression, it was clear that he was worried about attracting other people's attention, so he covered his head tightly.
"..."
Su Xiao didn't say anything. He already knew why the field member named Mente was assigned to monitor dangerous objects in this remote place.
"lead the way."
"yes."
Mente walked in front and lowered the top hat on his head. He felt that the opportunity for him to stand up had come.
Arriving at Mente's temporary residence, Su Xiao saw two other field staff. One was a fish-eyed woman named Laura with a cigarette in her mouth.
The other person is enthusiastic on the surface, but in fact he is not ready to be transferred from Winter Spring Town, and does not care about anything. He calls himself a poet. In his words, the love of his life has abandoned him, and his name is not important.
Among the three men, Mente, Laura, and the poet, except Mente who has not given up his ambition to leave here, the other two are respectful on the surface, but in fact they have an indifferent attitude.
Su Xiao was sitting on the single sofa. Just as she was about to ask about the situation, she heard a thud, as if something stiff hit the door.
Laura, who was smoking a cigarette, looked confused. She opened the door and immediately took a few steps back.
"Ment, he's dead!"
The smoke held between Laura's fingers deformed. Outside the door, Mente was lying stiffly next to the firewood pile, with a layer of frost covering his body. His expression was not frightened, but instead he was laughing. The person who laughed felt horrified in his heart, and felt cold air on his back.
All S-level dangerous objects are difficult to attack. As soon as Su Xiao arrived, the dangerous objects in Dongquan Town noticed his arrival and killed Mente silently. This was clearly a warning.
Su Xiao signaled Baha to drag Mente's body in. He began to observe the body. After thinking for a moment, he took out a small notebook and recorded on it: "It can kill people instantly. It is estimated that it is a long-distance killing ability. There is no warning. Is it possible?"
The required medium is unknown. The cause of death was severe burns to the internal organs. It is unclear whether the layer of frost on the body has any special significance. This dangerous object has intelligence. This killing is most likely a warning and expulsion.'
Su Xiao closed the small notebook in his hand with one hand. The crystal layer was attached to his hand, and his fingertips were placed between Mente's eyebrows.
With a bang, the crystal layer on Su Xiao's hand exploded, which was caused by the instantaneous alternation of extreme cold and extreme heat.
Su Xiao thought that a dangerous object needs a medium to kill people. For example, if it directly touches the person killed by the dangerous object, it is unknown whether there are other media.
"During his lifetime, did Mente ever touch anyone who died of frostbite or burning internal organs?"
Su Xiao looked at Laura and the poet. Laura was stunned for a moment, then shook her head with a sad expression.
"I haven't touched it before, or you don't know."
"I haven't touched it before. No one has died in an accident in this town for a long time."
Laura's expression was a little panicked, and it could be seen that she was trying to stay calm.
"What benefit does it give you, peaceful coexistence?"
"Sir, are you doubting us?"
The poet smiled bitterly, feeling unspeakable loss and bitterness in his heart.
"Poet, step back slowly, Laura, what good has it done you."
Su Xiao put one hand on the handle of the knife and gestured to Baha to bury Mente and his family members to be treated as orphans of extraordinary beings.
"Sir, what are you talking about? The three of us have been here for so many years, and you...you actually doubt us."
Laura's eye circles were red, as if she had great grievances in her heart.
"What you have to do is to coexist with that dangerous thing. In this case, reaching a deal with that thing is the wisest choice. However, the situation has changed. I am here to clean up that thing. You and that thing have had a relationship before.
Any cooperation or transaction is not betrayal. If it were me, without the assistance of the 'organisation', I would have to do this."
Su Xiao smiled, and after hearing his words, Laura began to hesitate in her heart.
"To put it simply, it's a multiple-choice question now. Are you on the side of the 'organ' or on the side of that thing?"
"Of course it's 'organ'."
Laura spoke very quickly, even urgently.
"Very good. It has agreed with you to coexist peacefully and not to interfere with each other?"
"Probably...yeah."
Laura's tone became vague.
"Be clear."
"It doesn't harm civilians, and we won't interfere with it. Sir, you just came here, and you don't understand many things. It..."
"In other words, you are indeed cooperating with that thing."
Lidya Su’s words made Laura’s blood almost run cold.
"Yes."
Laura retreated to the wall, her body shaking.
"You were very wise in not accepting the 'gift' from that thing."
"I am a field staff member of the 'agency'. I have sworn an oath. We are all hidden in the darkness. We are all nameless people and respect the mystery..."
Laura loudly repeated her oath that she had joined the shelter a few years ago. It can be said that this emotional card has a strong desire to survive.
"Sir, how did you see that?"
Laura felt hopeless and wanted to die to understand.
"Guess."
"ah?"
Laura felt dizzy for a while. She just thought that Lidya Su had the extraordinary ability to see through people's hearts.
With Su Xiao's charm attribute, of course he does not have that kind of ability. The situation is already obvious and there is no need to analyze it at all. Three field personnel with little combat effectiveness have been monitoring an S-class dangerous object for several years and are still alive. How can these three people survive for such a long time?
There must be some kind of consensus with that dangerous thing.
Mente had just received the lunch box, and was first cleared of suspicion. The poet looked down and out. Except for his qualifications as a pretty boy, he was not outstanding in other aspects. Even if he was a pretty boy, he would not be the first choice. His face showed signs of kidney deficiency.
Laura is the only one with a somewhat strong character. Just now, she intentionally or unintentionally stood in front of the poet. She clearly fell in love with the poet. Under the dual effects of love and survival, she reached some kind of consensus with the dangerous thing, almost.
inevitable.
Su Xiao lit a cigarette. This dangerous thing has been developing here for too long. The entire Dongquan Town may have become the opponent's territory.
jingle
The sound of the bell reached Su Xiao's ears, and a cold wind carrying flying snow blew into the room, bringing a chill to her face.
In the snow, a woman wearing a loose dress with embroidery all over her skirt walked over. She had several small bells hung on red ropes around her waist, and a barrel-shaped bamboo basket on her head.
This woman's steps were very erratic, and every time her figure flashed, she would suddenly advance several meters.
Kakaka
Frost spread on the back of Su Xiao's hand, and a burning sensation emerged in his body. The dangerous thing in Dongquan Town appeared.
