The silver moon is high, and the treatment center, which used to be somewhat popular, is particularly deserted at the moment.
In the main building on the back, Su Xiao pushed open the door of the dean's office, turned on the light, and saw cabinets full of various honors. The honors were awarded by the high-walled guild. Compared with these honors, every time
The sponsorship money provided by them made the members of the treatment center even more happy.
The scene of the past was shattered within a few hours, but there was nothing sad about it. Su Xiao just replaced this identity. It was not a fusion memory. Watching temporary memories was more like watching a movie.
Sitting behind the slightly old desk, Su Xiao began to think about what to do next. He opened the task list, and both promotion tasks and main tasks appeared.
That's right, Su Xiao accepted the main mission and prepared to fail it, but something went wrong along the way.
[Main mission: Striving for victory in a stable manner.]
Difficulty level mission introduction: Survive until the God Festival Day.
Mission period: until the start of the God Festival
Mission reward: 2 real skill points
Mission penalty: None.
…
The moment he saw this mission, Su Xiao felt quite unhappy. The main mission this time was ridiculously simple. With Su Xiao's current strength, the difficulty of the Level 63 mission was unlikely to threaten his life. Of course,
The premise is that he can't be careless. Things like capsizing in the ditch still happen occasionally.
The problem is that Su Xiao wants to fail the main mission this time, so he can be executed by force with the eight-star title exemption, so as to obtain 5 non-attribute seven-star titles. Later, he can use these titles to refine a combat-type eight-star title and wear it.
Explore the Dead City with this title.
There is no doubt that the title of Eight-Star Combat System will definitely greatly enhance his combat power. This can be seen from the two Eight-Stars of [Sky-Sky Waves] and [War Lord].
The problem at hand is, let’s not talk about how the survival mission failed. The main mission this time was not forced execution. Su Xiao estimated that it was ‘squeezed’ by the promotion mission.
Promotion tasks and mainline tasks are the highest priority echelon tasks after entering the world. As long as you accept one of the two, you can start exploring in the task world.
What will happen if both are accepted at the same time? The answer is that the tasks with lower difficulty will be squeezed, resulting in even lower difficulty. For example, a hunter with top level eight combat power will receive a Lv.63 task. This task
The difficulty level is about the mid-to-early stage of seventh level.
Now I can only hope that the main quest in the next stage will be more difficult, and at least give me a forced execution penalty.
Su Xiao discovered for the first time that sometimes it is so difficult to fail the main mission, and it depends on luck.
Ignoring this for the moment, his thoughts turned to the God's Festival Day three days later. Whether it was the treatment center being plotted, or him being poisoned, as well as promotion tasks and main missions, all directions were focused on the God's Festival Day three days later.
The so-called God Festival Day is a grand celebration to honor the "ancient gods". To be precise, the gods believed in by the Healing Church are the ancient gods.
In this world, ancient gods do not refer to a type of god, but only to the eternal god. It is said that in ancient times, as long as one believed in this god, one could live forever.
No matter how you listen to it, this is a bit ridiculous. It is good to gain extraordinary power by believing in gods. However, it is really hard to believe that you can directly gain eternal life after believing in gods.
Compared with this illusory legend, there is another view among the people, that is, the high-walled city today is entirely dependent on the protection of the eternal God. It was the eternal God who drove away the spread of death in the city, allowing the land to become fertile again and the fresh water to flow again.
Sweet, the fruit regains its fullness.
In the high-walled city, you may not believe in the Healing Church, you may not believe in the Steam God Religion, you may even oppose the High-Walled Council, but you must not disrespect the Eternal God in the slightest.
That was more than a hundred years ago. There was a believer in the Healing Church who claimed that he was an envoy sent by the eternal God to bring God's will. However, the result was that he was a member of the Healing Church + a member of the Steam Cult.
The + security team + the Wadi family’s bodyguard team worked together to capture him and put him on the stake that night.
With the precedent of this person, no one would dare to claim to be an envoy sent by the eternal God.
Su Xiao has two things to do right now. The first is to find a way to obtain more ancient gold coins. Only with this can he redeem the title in the title store. In addition, he must also investigate appropriately about the surprising changes on the God's Festival Day three days later.
one time.
The reason for proper investigation is that Su Xiao actually does not expect to find out the mastermind behind this matter. He is not omniscient and omnipotent. He has just come to this world and cannot control the overall situation with only the temporary memory he has acquired.
On the other hand, the unknown force hiding in the dark must have been preparing for a long time, even years, or decades. With such a huge gap in intelligence, why should we fight with them in the early stage?
Rather than humiliating yourself in the early stage, it is better to observe the God's Sacrifice Day first. Three days is enough to cultivate a son of the world.
Su Xiao prepared to use [Devourer·Black A] + [Betrayer's Will] + [Three Pieces of the World] to shoot out a Son of the World, allowing the opponent to attract firepower in front.
As for possible helpers, Su Xiao estimated that even if Sias and Wood came to this world, these two guys would not show up before finding the Dead City. Instead, they would hide in the dark, waiting for Su Xiao.
When the clouds and fog are cleared and the road ahead is clear, the two dog thieves may show up and head to the Dead City together.
There is no news from Caesar at this stage, and it is estimated that he is harming the finances of a certain force.
Su Xiaogang was about to take out the glass column containing Black A and let him choose the 'lucky one' this time, but Bubu Wang suddenly became wary and looked in the direction of the door downstairs.
In the cold courtyard at night, a sturdy figure wearing a dark golden robe and a hood walked in. In the darkness under the hood, there was a pair of dark yellow eyes. This kind of light was more like that emitted by machinery.
This person's steps are steady. If you stand opposite him, you will feel as if there is an invisible mountain pressing down on you, making you breathless.
Click, click~
Amidst the subtle sound of metal collision, the visitor walked into the main building and arrived at Su Xiao's office unimpeded.
"I heard you were dead, I came to see you."
The person spoke, his voice was deep and thick, with a faint texture of electronic synthesized sound.
"..."
Su Xiao didn't say anything, just glanced at the wine bottle in the hand of the visitor.
"This is a wine to sacrifice you. Since you are not dead, let's drink it together."
The visitor casually took two wine glasses from the cabinet, sat across the desk from Su Xiao, poured two glasses of wine, and pushed one of them in front of Su Xiao.
Su Xiao put his hand on the wine glass that slid over. He looked at the person coming. The man opposite him had more than 70% of his body replaced by machines. His combat power should not be underestimated. Su Xiao estimated that in a life-and-death battle, he had a 60% chance of winning.
, but the price to pay for fighting this kind of mechanical enemy is too high. The moves that kill these guys together are not generally strong.
In other words, among the many power systems, the ability of the technology side and the mechanical side to die together can definitely be ranked in the top three.
The person who comes has such strength, his identity is certainly extraordinary. This person is the leader of the Steam Cult. His name is still unknown, so people call him the Mechanical Duke.
The Cult of Steam Cult advocates the law of the jungle and respects the strong. Because of this, the Duke and his former master Su Xiao have a pretty good relationship in private, and they don’t have frequent contacts. However, they occasionally drink a few drinks together, and they also drink together.
He doesn't talk much and doesn't get involved in the fight between forces.
To put it simply, the Mechanical Duke who drinks together is different from the Mechanical Duke who is the leader of the Steam Cult. The former is just a simple friend and drinking buddy, while the latter is an iron-blooded leader who has to consider various interests and gains and losses.
"Thanks to you for blocking this invasion of wild beasts, the treatment center once again impressed me."
After the Duke finished speaking, he drank the strong wine in one gulp.
"Did you arrange it there?"
Su Xiao picked up the wine glass and stopped just as he was about to drink it. This thing was a strong drink mixed with gasoline.
[Read books and get cash] Follow the vx public account [Book Friends Base Camp] and read books and get cash!
However, considering that the opposite side is a mechanical department, drinking gasoline seems to be no problem.
"Not to your taste? I originally thought that if you died, you could taste the fine wine of our divine religion. It's a pity."
The Duke poured himself a glass, looked out the window and took a big sip, then he said:
"This invasion of wild beasts was not planned by me. I originally wanted to blast a gap in the wall gate No. 16 half a month after the God's Festival to attract the wild beasts. At that time, your treatment center and the wild beasts
If we work together, we can solve the hidden dangers in the treatment center, but the problem is, before I take action, someone will target you first."
After the Duke finished speaking, he grinned, showing a mouth full of metal teeth.
"After the incident, I thought it was arranged internally by your Healing Church, but now it seems that those two old guys from the Healing Church would never really want to kill you. I am here to discuss this with you.
thing."
The Duke changed his relaxed tone and continued:
"Bai Ye, three days later is the God's Festival Day. At this critical time, the department in High Wall City that responds to extraordinary events most quickly has been completely defeated by the wild beasts. I feel... something is wrong. It's such a coincidence, and the wild beasts have invaded.
Who planned it, I haven’t found out yet.”
The Duke finally revealed the purpose of his visit tonight. It seemed to be to see if his old friend had passed away, but in fact he was here to seek a certain degree of cooperation.
At this stage, the treatment center is temporarily collapsed. For the Steam God Cult, this is a God-given opportunity for the "Wrath Hammer Organization". Wrath Hammer wants to replace the treatment center, and it is no longer a day or two.
"..."
Su Xiao did not reply immediately. In his opinion, the current treatment center is indeed half-abandoned. The core combat strength is not even dead or injured, and the peripheral members are even more panic-stricken. Their combat strength and intelligence have been lost. The current treatment center is
, only an empty shell remains.
In this case, someone is willing to stand up and support the scene. No matter how you look at it, it is a good thing for Su Xiao. Although the Duke opposite has bad intentions and seems to be a drinking buddy, it turns out that the wine was mixed with gasoline.
"What do you want?"
Su Xiao didn't believe that the Duke was just here to negotiate tonight.
"Although my boys have been preparing for a long time, if they were to suddenly take over the handling of extraordinary cases in the city, it would be difficult for them to find a clue. The treatment center has been responsible for this for many years, and it must have left a lot of eyes and ears in the four cities."
The Duke finally revealed the true purpose of his trip. To handle extraordinary cases, it requires more than just a group of people. Over the years, the treatment center has cultivated many eyes and ears in the four major districts of the High Wall City.
The beggar is the eyes and ears of the treatment center.
What the Duke's Hammer Agency lacks the most is this kind of foundation. Now that the treatment center has collapsed, those eyes and ears below that are mixed in the gray or black world can be said to be frightened. As long as they are given enough security, benefits, and investment,
The embrace of the Steam God Cult is quite natural.
Su Xiao recalled the temporary memory in his mind for a moment. He leaned forward and pressed the floor next to the table leg. With a click, a hidden drawer popped up in the desk. There were three thick notebooks in it. After opening it, it was filled with names.
And information, there are also messy photos posted next to each name.
What is recorded in this manuscript is the eyes and ears that have been developed in the treatment center for so many years. Now that the old man is gone, with Su Xiao's current status, he can certainly freely control this thing and decided to give it to the new director of the treatment center.
Vice-President, give it to the Duke.
For Su Xiao, this thing has no value in his hands. These eyes and ears are panicking. He himself cannot be stable. The power of one person cannot compare with the sense of security that a force can bring.
"Make a bid, my... new friend."
The Duke smiled and spoke, even grinning to reveal his metal teeth.
This sentence has too many meanings. After hearing this, Baha on the side winked at Eminem and Bubouwang. Eminem silently blocked the door, and Bubouwang blocked the door in front of Ilia.
, Bubu has a good impression of Sias, and of course he will take care of his daughter.
The "new friend" that the Duke said was clearly aware of the difference between Su Xiao and the original vice-president. Even so, the Duke did not say anything, but showed an attitude of continuing to cooperate.
This arrogant, alcoholic leader of the Cult of Steam is definitely more difficult to deal with than he looks.
"Are you sure you want to buy it?"
When Su Xiao spoke, he was also trying in a subtle way. The implication of this sentence was, does the other party really dare to cooperate with him without knowing his true origin?
"What can I not dare to buy if it doesn't come from outside the city?"
The Duke finished speaking and drank the wine in the glass. The real meaning of this sentence is that he has determined that Su Xiao is not a strange existence from outside the wall. If this is the case, then they can cooperate.
"The people here have all worked for the treatment center..."
"50 pieces."
The Duke pulled a money bag from his robe and placed it on the table.
After Su Xiao opened it, she found a gold coin inside. The front of the gold coin was printed with a fork-shaped symbol, and the reverse was a sharp claw. The claw looked a bit like a human hand. The tip of the claw was sharp, but not too long.
Seeing this sharp claw, Su Xiao remembered that when he entered this world, he had an experience that was like a fantasy. At the end of the 'phantom', a huge claw lifted him out of the darkness. At this time, he looked at the gold coin.
The sharp claws are exactly the same as those in the memory.
[You get 50 ancient gold coins.]
Su Xiao remained calm. In the title shop, a six-star title cost 100 ancient gold coins, and the top three seven-star titles cost 500 to 650 gold coins.
"This is not a question of gold coins..."
"Bai Ye, this is just a deposit. After the list is verified, there will be a balance of 450 coins."
"..."
Su Xiao didn't say anything. He had to hold on tight at this time. He believed that the Duke would pay a higher price.
The Duke on the opposite side remained calm. He was sure that Su Xiao would definitely take action on this list. Now those with the best eyes and ears belong to the treatment center. A group of new people replaced the old ones. After the new blood of the treatment center gradually took power, they
Wouldn't believe the eyes and ears left behind by these former members.
Furthermore, these eyes and ears will not accept the new members of the treatment center easily. They have deep feelings with the old members, but it will be different if they work for the Steam God Cult across different forces. In this case
If they have no choice but to change jobs, their new boss will definitely reuse them.
"Since you don't want to give up, then forget it. I don't like forcing others to make things difficult for me."
The Duke stood up and walked, one step, two steps, three steps...
In front of the door, the Duke stood there silently, and Su Xiao didn't speak either. The atmosphere was somewhat awkward.
"Add another 50."
The Duke almost squeezed out these words through his teeth.
"You are so sincere that it is hard to refuse."
Su Xiao put the thick notebook on the table. The Duke, who sat down again, crossed his legs and looked through the information in the notebook. The more he read, the more satisfied he became.
"If the two old immortals over there know that you sold this thing, they will be so angry that they can't even hold their crutches."
The Duke spoke with a hint of ridicule. The old guys he was talking about were the two people currently in power in the Healing Church, namely Archbishop Russo and Holy Priest Antossa.
The Archbishop and the Holy Priest are the pinnacle of power in the healing church, but these two people do not go out in the cathedral all year round.
Mentioning these two old guys, the Duke's expression was wrong. After all, he grew up being plotted by these two old guys. Although the Duke is now over fifty and has become the overlord of the party, in his heart, he still has not forgotten that he was
Those two old guys had plotted against each other, and the worst plot ever happened was when he was forced to kill his own brother.
Of course, Su Xiao knew about these two old immortals. His way of dealing with them was not to meet them at all. They were old men and cunning ghosts. Those two old guys might not be as simple as being corrupted into ghosts by time.
"The treatment center has finally declined. Bai Ye, have you ever considered working for me? If you are willing to come, the entire Wrath Hammer will be under your management, and I will never interfere."
"..."
Su Xiao didn't reply. Seeing this, the Duke didn't ask any more questions. He stood up and walked out. When he reached the door, he seemed to suddenly remember something and said:
"I heard that you have a conflict with the newly transferred director and deputy director of the treatment center?"
"..."
Su Xiao picked up the Dragon-Slaying Flash from its sheath and looked sideways at the Duke.
"Since you see that they are unhappy, I will take matters into my own hands and help you deal with it. No need to thank me."
The heroic laughter gradually faded away in the corridor. The Mechanical Duke was just like the rumors, and he did not follow any rules.
After turning the corner of the corridor, the Duke stopped laughing. He felt a little disappointed. If Su Xiao had just been provoked to take action, he would not have to pay the subsequent 500 ancient gold coins. This thing is worth one less.
.
In the office, after the Duke left, Baha said: "Boss, this guy is too arrogant."
"He did it on purpose."
Su Xiao chose to hand over those eyes and ears to the Steam God Cult not only for the ancient gold coins. It would be best if someone could stand in front of the unexpected events on the God's Festival three days later. Now the Steam God Cult's Wrath Hammer Agency has taken the initiative to make this trip.
Of course Su Xiao will not stop Muddy Waters.
Su Xiao opened the drawer, rummaged inside for a while, and pulled out a document cover based on the location in the temporary memory. After opening it, a person's information appeared on it.
"Your Excellency, Crank, is 27 years old, unmarried, and the eldest son of the Mechanical Duke. He has ordinary talent and has no interest in wealth, beauty, or status. At the age of 17, he already held an important position in the Steam God Cult with his extraordinary mind.
"
The son of the Mechanical Duke is both excellent and does not have very strong extraordinary qualifications. This is a contradictory combination in the Steam God Religion, which respects the strong.
Su Xiao felt that if she didn't arrange a scene of a loving father and a filial son, she would be sorry for the mechanical duke who came to take advantage of the situation tonight.
Your noble son, Crank, has no interest in wealth, power, or beauty? It doesn't matter, [Betrayer's Will] specializes in this problem.
"The Will of the Betrayer: When the target becomes a son of the world, he will inherit the Will of the Betrayer, and there is a high probability that he will commit an act of betrayal.
The Will of the Betrayer: Those who inherit this will will feel an unimaginable sense of joy in their hearts when they betray others."
For a person like Mr. Krank, who feels indifferent to everything, once he experiences the pleasure of betraying the will of a betrayer, he will definitely become addicted to it.
The noble son Crank is working under his father. Maybe the dutiful son Crank will come online.
Su Xiao's index finger lightly touched the desk. Originally, he wanted to talk to the new dean and deputy dean and let them take over the treatment center. He was not going to continue to take over this mess. He just wanted to put his name on it for now.
As a result, the Duke over there was wiped out before any contact could be made. The Duke has a keen sense of smell and knows that something big will happen on the God's Festival Day three days later. Even if he does too much now, as long as he doesn't do it openly,
The face of the Healing Church, the Healing Church will only settle accounts later and will not fall out immediately.
Originally, he wanted to see if there was any talent among the newcomers, but now it failed. Just as Su Xiao was thinking this, suddenly there was an aura approaching. He looked into the yard from the window and saw a ghost drifting in.
Seeing that there was such a good thing, Su Xiao prepared to catch it and keep it as a mana recovery package, but when he looked closely, he felt that the ghost seemed a bit familiar.
Picking up a document on the table, Su Xiao opened it and compared it. The ghost that floated back was actually the unlucky new dean. It has to be said that the position of dean of the treatment center is too risky, but 90 of them
% of the risk comes from the associate dean and the rest is external.
Seemingly noticing Su Xiao's gaze, Ghost looked up at the office. A look of hatred gradually appeared on his translucent, pale face, and he rushed straight towards Su Xiao.
Su Xiao opened the window and took a few steps back. A cold wind blew in. Just as the new dean rushed towards him with the cold wind and a terrifying wailing sound, a big bloody hand formed behind Su Xiao, like pinching a frog, and pulled the new dean away.
Hold it in your hand.
After a ghostly howl, the new dean was almost crushed to death. This dear man must have been too unwilling to accept it, so he waited for the ghost to return. He took up the position in fear, but soon learned that Su Xiao, as the deputy dean, was not dead.
, this man ran away immediately.
Unexpectedly, while he was still sleeping in the hotel, the Duke came to see him personally. The Duke only came to see Su Xiao after getting rid of him.
After initial perception, Su Xiao found that it was resentment and other negative emotions. After combining with the soul of grievance composed of soul energy, he lost interest, clenched his fist with blood, and crushed it with a pop.
In just over half an hour, people rushed to the headquarters of the treatment center one after another. Su Xiao discovered that these were all new members. The tragic death of the new dean and deputy dean made these new members a little confused, so they all came to the treatment center.
These people can be supplemented as new blood, and they have naturally received corresponding training. Around 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, the headquarters of the treatment center returned to the bright lights of the past. Obviously, several senior officials were not prepared to make this matter too clear.
I want to settle accounts with the Duke.
After ordering supper and sitting around the desk, Su Xiao found that Ilia was still standing aside obediently.
"Have a meal."
"Well, I'm so hungry."
Ilia sat next to Bubuwang and muttered something to herself before starting to eat.
Su Xiao learned that Ilia would leave this world at the earliest tomorrow and at the latest the morning of the day after tomorrow. This time her parents and grandmother let her come out to see more of the outside world.
Even so, Su Xiao always felt that asking Ilia to come over there this time was not as simple as it seemed.
Su Xiao had a feeling before that Sinyas did not respect Hades as much as he imagined. Logically speaking, Hades is the supreme ancient god of the fallen star. When Sinyas mentioned this existence, he did not say he was respectful.
But at the very least there should be some respect.
The real situation is not like this, which makes Su Xiao feel that the forces that Sinyas belongs to seem to be brewing something secretly, and they have big plans. Maybe they are thinking of pulling Hades down from the position of the supreme ancient god.
After being promoted to the ninth level, Su Xiao will be able to go to the Transcendence, Native World, and Destruction Star. If there is such a change, he doesn't mind participating in it.
Not only this matter, after Su Xiao met the mage sage Sefilia by chance on the devil train last time, the feeling Sefilia gave him was no longer the original untouchable feeling. Although he still felt that he was not an opponent, Su Xiao
Xiao estimated that as long as he advanced to the ninth level and experienced 2 to 3 ninth level worlds, Sephilia would most likely not be his opponent. The opponent's combat power should be at the late ninth level, or at the late ninth level.
To a certain extent, destroying spells and beating spellcasters has a natural advantage.
Su Xiao arranged for Ilia to stay in the bedroom connected to the office. He sat cross-legged in the office and meditated. It would be dawn in a few hours, so there was no need to sleep for the time being.
A few hours passed quickly, and the sun rose in the sky. At early 6 o'clock in the morning, the high-walled city turned into a scene of misty smoke, and the entire giant city seemed to be waking up again.
Su Xiao ended his meditation, he asked Eminem to stay in the office, and took Bubo Wang and Baha out.
Since the Duke has begun to behave unruly, your noble master, Crank, must of course make arrangements.
Su Xiao took Bubuwang and Baha out of the headquarters of the treatment center and walked to the east of the city. On the street with a constant stream of pedestrians, before they had gone far, a communicator in Su Xiao's arms began to vibrate, which made him suspicious.
, it’s too early to contact him there.
Taking out the contact device, he changed the direction of travel based on the Internet positioning situation above.
Nearly an hour later, Su Xiao stopped on a pedestrian street, and a figure was waiting in front, it was Gulu.
For some reason, Gulu's left hand was covered with a bandage with golden lines. He had only been in this world for one night, and Gulu had dark circles under his eyes like smoky makeup. This scene seemed familiar.
"Psalm, look who it is."
Gulu's tone was gritted, she pulled off the bandage on her left arm, and a mouth with red lips and thin lips appeared on the palm of her left hand.
"Don't make a pointless struggle, you can't escape..."
As soon as Psalm's words were spoken, her soul vision saw Su Xiao opposite her. At this moment, Psalm's mentality changed dramatically.
