Vol 43 Chapter 3: :surprise

The silver moon hung high, and the treatment hospitals that had been popular in the past were extremely cold at this moment.
　　
Inside the main building, Su Xiao opened the door of the dean’s office. After turning on the light, he saw a cabinet full of various honorary honors. The honorary honors were awarded by the High Wall Guild. Compared with these honorary honors, The sponsorship money over there made the members of the treatment hospital even more happy.
　　
　　 The old scene shattered in a few hours, but this is nothing sad. Su Xiao just replaced this identity, not a fusion of memories. Watching temporary memories is more like watching a movie.
　　
　　 sat down at the slightly old desk, Su Xiao began to think about what to do next, he opened the task list, promotion tasks and main tasks appeared.
　　
　　 That's right, Su Xiao accepted the main task and was about to fail it, but there was a small problem on the way.
　　
　　【Main task: Win in stability. 】
　　
　　 Difficulty level: Lv.63.
　　
　　 Task introduction: Survive until the day of the sacrifice.
　　
　　 Mission period: until the beginning of the day of worship
　　
　　 task reward: 2 real skill points
　　
　　 Task penalty: None.
　　
　　……
　　
At the moment of seeing this mission, Su Xiao's mood was quite unbeautiful. The main mission this time was simply outrageous. With Su Xiao's current strength, the difficulty of the Lv.63 mission is unlikely to threaten his life safety. Of course, The premise is that he can't be careless, things like gutter overturning still happen occasionally.
　　
The problem is that Su Xiao wanted to fail the main mission this time, so he used the eight-star title to exempt forcibly executed, so as to obtain 5 non-attribute seven-star titles, and then use these titles to burn out a combat-type eight-star title. This title explores the dead city.
　　
　　 Undoubtedly, the title of the eight-star combat system will definitely increase his combat power greatly. This can be seen from the two eight stars of [Sweeping the Sky] and [Warlord].
　　
　　 The problem right now is, let’s not talk about how the survival mission failed. The main mission this time is not a forced execution. Su Xiao estimated that this was ‘squeezed’ by the promotion mission.
　　
　　 The promotion task and the main task are the tasks of the highest priority echelon after entering the world. As long as you accept one of the two, you can start exploring in the task world.
　　
　　 What if I accept both at the same time? The answer is that the low-difficulty tasks will be squeezed, resulting in lower difficulty. For example, a hunter with the top combat power of Tier 8 will receive the task of Lv.63. The difficulty of this task makes a big effort. It is the level in the early stage of the seventh stage.
　　
　　 Now I can only hope that the main task of the next ring will be more difficult, and at the very least, a forcible execution will be given.
　　
　　 Su Xiao discovered for the first time that it turned out that sometimes it is so difficult to fail the main mission, and it depends on luck.
　　
　　 Ignoring this point for the time being, his thoughts turned to the God Sacrifice Day three days later, whether it was the calculation of the treatment house or his poisoning, as well as the promotion task and the main task, the direction was all focused on the God Sacrifice Day three days later.
　　
　　The so-called God Sacrifice Day is a grand celebration to pay homage to the "old gods." To be precise, the gods believed in the healing church are the ancient gods.
　　
　　 In this world, the ancient gods do not refer to a kind of god, but only represent the gods of eternal life. It is said that in ancient times, as long as you believe in this god, you can live forever.
　　
　　 No matter how you listen to it, it’s a little bit of a joke. Believing in the gods can get extraordinary powers. It’s not bad to get immortality directly after you believe in it. It’s really unconvincing.
　　
Compared with this illusory legend, there is another opinion among the people that the high-walled city can have today, completely relying on the protection of the God of Eternal Life. It was the God of Eternal Life who drove away the spread of death in the city, so that the land was re-fertile and Tamsui was once again. Sweet, the fruit restores fullness.
　　
　　In the high-wall city, one can disbelieve in the Healing Church, in the steam religion, or even oppose the high-wall council, but must not be disrespectful to the immortal god.
　　
That happened more than a hundred years ago. There was a believer in the Healing Church who claimed that he was an emissary sent by the Immortal God and brought God’s will, but as a result, he was healed by a member of the Church + a member of the Church of Steam + The security team + the Vardy family guard teamed up to capture them, and they were on the torture frame that night.
　　
　　 With this person's precedent, no one would dare to claim to be an envoy sent by the God of Eternal Life.
　　
Su Xiao has two things to do now. One is to find a way to get more ancient gold coins. With this thing, he can exchange titles in the title shop. In addition, regarding the shocking changes of the God’s Sacrifice Day after three days, proper investigations should be made. a bit.
　　
　　 The reason for the proper investigation is that Su Xiao does not expect to be able to find out the black hand behind this incident. He is not omniscient and omnipotent. He has just come to this world, and can't control the whole situation only with the temporary memory he has obtained.
　　
　　 On the other hand, the unknown forces hiding in the dark must have been preparing for a long time, even years, decades of preparations, and under such a disparity in intelligence, what is the basis for initial confrontation with others?
　　
　　 Rather than taking insults in the early days, it is better to observe the God Sacrifice Day first. Three days are enough to cultivate a son of the world.
　　
　　 Su Xiao is going to use [The Devourer·Black A] + [The Will of the Betrayer] + [Three Pieces of the World] to create a son of the world, and let the other party attract firepower in front.
　　
As for the possible helpers, Su Xiao estimates that even if Sin Yass and Wood come to this world, these two guys will not show up before finding the Silent City, but will always hide in the dark, waiting for Su Xiao to be here. After pushing away the clouds and fog, when the road ahead is clear, the two dog thieves may show up and head to the Silent City together.
　　
　　 There is no news from Caesar at this stage. It is estimated that it is damaging the finances of a certain power.
　　
　　Su Xiaogang was about to take out the glass column that closed Black A, so that he could choose the "lucky one" this time, but Bubowang suddenly became vigilant 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 were a pair of dark yellow eyes. This kind of light was more like a machine.
　　
　　 This person's steps are steady, if you stand opposite him, you will feel as if an invisible mountain is pressed over, making people breathless.
　　
　　 Click, click~
　　
　　 Amid the faint sound of metal collision, people walked into the main building, and went all the way to the office where Su Xiao was located.
　　
　　 "I heard that you are dead, let me have a look."
　　
　　 The person who came to speak, the voice was deep and thick, and the texture of electronically synthesized sound was faintly revealed.
　　
　　 "……"
　　
　　 Su Xiao didn't speak, but just glanced at the wine bottle in the person's hand.
　　
　　 "This is the wine to sacrifice to you. Since you are not dead, let's drink it together."
　　
　　 The visitor took two wine glasses on the cabinet and sat across the desk with Su Xiao. After pouring two glasses of wine, he pushed one of them toward Su Xiao.
　　
Su Xiao’s hand pressed the slid glass of wine and he looked at the incoming person. On the opposite side, the man whose body was replaced by more than 70% of his body was replaced by a machine. His combat power should not be underestimated. , But fighting against this kind of mechanical enemy would cost too much, and these guys' tricks that ended up at the same time were not ordinary strong.
　　
　　 In other words, among the many power systems, the science and technology side and the mechanical system belong to the same ability, and they will definitely be ranked in the top three.
　　
　　The person here has this kind of strength, and his identity is of course extraordinary. This is the leader of the Steam God Cult. His name is still unknown, so everyone calls him the Duke of Machine.
　　
The Steam God Sect advocates that the weak eat the strong and respect the strong. Because of this, the Duke and the former owner of Su Xiao’s identity are not good enough in private. They are not frequent contacts, but occasionally they drink a few cups together. Don't talk very much, and don't mix up the struggles between forces.
　　
　　 To put it simply, the Duke of Mechanic who is drinking together is different from the Duke of Mechanic, who is the leader of the Steam Cult. The former is just a simple friend and drinker, and the latter is an iron-blooded leader who has to consider various benefits and gains and losses.
　　
　　 "This mad beast invasion, because you can stop it, the treatment center once again made me look at it with admiration."
　　
　　 The Duke took a sip of the spirits in the glass after speaking.
　　
　　 "You arranged it there?"
　　
　　 Su Xiao picked up the wine glass, and stopped as soon as he was about to drink. This thing is a spirit filled with gasoline.
　　
　　 But considering that the opposite is the mechanical system, it seems to be no problem to drink gasoline.
　　
　　 "Doesn't suit your taste? I thought you would be able to taste the wines of our gods after you died, but it's a pity."
　　
　　 The Duke poured a glass on his own, and after looking at the window to take a big sip, he said:
　　
"This invasion of the wild beasts was not planned by me. I originally wanted to blow up the gap at the gate of the 16th wall half a month after the end of the day of the gods. Let’s try to clean it up, which can be considered as a solution to the hidden dangers of the treatment hospital, but the problem is that someone will look at you first before I do it."
　　
　　 The Duke grinned after speaking, showing his mouth full of metal teeth.
　　
"After the incident, I think it was your internal arrangements for the healing church, but now, it’s not like healing the two old things in the church. I definitely don’t really want to kill you. I’m here this time to discuss this with you. thing."
　　
　　 The Duke changed his relaxed tone, and continued:
　　
"White Night, three days later is the God Sacrifice Day. At this critical time, the department of High Wall City that responds to extraordinary events the fastest, even fights with the wild beasts. I feel...something is wrong, too coincidental, and the wild beasts have invaded. Which side of the plan was made, I haven't found it yet."
　　
　　The Duke finally stated his purpose of coming tonight, which seemed to be to see if his old friend passed away, but in fact he came to seek a certain degree of cooperation.
　　
　　 At this stage, the treatment hospital is temporarily collapsed. For the steam god, this is a god-given opportunity for the "Anger Hammer Institution". It is no longer a day or two for the Rage Hammer to replace the treatment house.
　　
　　 "……"
　　
Su Xiao did not reply immediately. In his opinion, the current treatment hospital is indeed half-abandoned. The core combat force is dead or injured. The peripheral members are even more panicked. The combat power and intelligence have been lost. The current treatment hospital , Only an empty shell remains.
　　
　　 In that case, some people are willing to stand up and support the scene at this time. No matter how you look at it, it is a good thing for Su Xiao. Although the duke on the opposite side seems to be a drinking buddy, the wine is mixed with gasoline.
　　
"what do you want?"
　　
　　 Su Xiao does not believe that the Duke is only here to negotiate tonight.
　　
　　 "Although my cubs have been preparing for a long time, if they suddenly take over the handling of extraordinary cases in the city, it will be difficult for them to find a clue. The treatment hospital has been responsible for this for many years, and the four cities have left a lot of eyes and ears."
　　
The Duke finally revealed the true purpose of his trip. It is not just a group of people who handle extraordinary cases. Over the years, the treatment center has cultivated many eyes and ears in the four major urban areas of the High Wall City. It may be casual on the street. A beggar is the eyes and ears of the treatment house.
　　
The Duke’s anger hammer organization lacks this kind of foundation the most. Now that the treatment facility has collapsed, the eyes and ears underneath that are mixed in the gray or black world can be described as panic, as long as they are given enough sense of security, interest, and devotion. It is quite natural to embrace the steam religion.
　　
Su Xiao recalled the temporary memory in his mind for a moment. He leaned against the floor next to the table leg and clicked. A hidden drawer popped up inside the desk. There were three thick notebooks inside. After opening it, it was densely packed with names. And information, next to each name, there are cluttered photos.
　　
In this manuscript, it is the eyes and ears that the treatment hospital has developed for so many years. Now the old man has gone. With Su Xiao’s current identity, he is of course free to control this thing and decides to give it to the new treatment hospital director, The deputy dean still gave it to the duke.
　　
　　 For Su Xiao, this thing remains in his hands and has no value. These eyes and ears are panicked. He is unsteady, and the strength of a person cannot compare to the sense of security that a power can bring.
　　
　　 "Make a bid, my... new friend."
　　
Duke 　　 opened his mouth with a smile, even showing his alloy teeth with a grin.
　　
This sentence represents too much meaning. After hearing this, Baha on the side gave Eminem and Boubowan a wink. Eminem blocked the door silently, while Boubowan stood in front of Ilia. , Boob has a good impression of Sin Yass, and of course he will take care of his daughter.
　　
　　 The phrase ‘new friend’ mentioned by the Duke was clearly aware of the difference between Su Xiao and the original deputy dean. Even so, the Duke did not say anything, but showed an attitude of continuing to cooperate.
　　
　　 This crude, alcoholic, steam cult leader is definitely more difficult to deal with than it seems.
　　
　　 "Are you sure you want to buy?"
　　
　　 Su Xiao said, he was also trying vaguely. The implication of this sentence was that the other party really dared to cooperate with him without knowing his true origin?
　　
　　 "It's not something from outside the city, why don't I dare to buy it?"
　　
　　 The Duke said, drank the wine in the glass. The real meaning of this sentence is that he has determined that Su Xiao is not from a treacherous existence outside the wall. If this is the case, then he can cooperate.
　　
　　 "The people here have all worked hard for the treatment hospital..."
　　
　　 "50 pieces."
　　
　　 Duke pulled out a purse from his robe and placed it on the table.
　　
　　 After Su Xiao opened it, he found a gold coin inside. This gold coin was printed with a fork-shaped symbol on the front and a sharp claw on the reverse. This claw is a bit like a human hand. The claw is sharp, but not too long.
　　
Seeing this sharp claw, Su Xiao remembered that when he entered this world, he had an experience like an illusion. At the end of the "illusion", a huge claw lifted him out of the darkness. At this time, look 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 silent. In the title store, one six-star title is 100 ancient gold coins, and the top three seven-star titles require 500 to 650 gold coins.
　　
　　 "This is not a question of gold coins..."
　　
　　 "White Night, this is only a deposit. After the list is verified, there are 450 pieces left."
　　
　　 "……"
　　
　　 Su Xiao didn't speak, he had to be steady at this time, he believed that the Duke would pay a higher price.
　　
The duke on the opposite side remained silent. He was sure that Su Xiao would make this list. Now those eyes and ears belong to the best place, not the treatment house. A group of new people change for the old. After the new blood of the treatment house gradually comes to power, they Will not believe the eyes and ears left by these former members.
　　
In addition, these eyes and ears will not easily accept the new members of the treatment center. They have deep feelings with the old members, but if they do things for the Steam God Cult across the powers, it will be different. In this case Reluctant to change jobs, the new boss will definitely reuse them.
　　
　　 "Since I'm not willing, then forget it, I am the person I don't like the hardship of strong people the most."
　　
　　 The Duke got up and left, one step, two steps, three steps...
　　
　　 In front of the door, the Duke stood there silently, Su Xiao did not speak, the atmosphere was somewhat embarrassing.
　　
　　 "Add another 50."
　　
　　 The Duke almost squeezed this sentence from his teeth.
　　
　　 "You are so sincere, it's hard to refuse."
　　
　　 Su Xiao put the thick notebook on the table, and the Duke who was seated again raised his legs and looked through the information on the notebook, and the more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became.
　　
　　 "The two old immortals on your side, if they knew you had sold this thing, they would be so angry that they couldn't hold the cane securely."
　　
　　 The Duke spoke with a slightly ridiculous tone. The old guy he was talking about was the two men in charge of the Healing Church, the Archbishop Lusso and the Holy Priest Antosa.
　　
　　 The archbishop and the holy priest are the culmination of the right to heal the church, but these two people do not go out in the cathedral all year round.
　　
When it comes to these two old guys, the Duke’s look is not right. After all, the two old guys calculated that he grew up. Although the Duke is now over fifty, he is already the overlord of one party, but in his heart, he still did not forget to be taken. The scenes of those two old things once calculated, the worst time he was calculated, he was forced to kill his own brother.
　　
　　Su Xiao, of course, knows that these two old immortals, his way of dealing with it is not to meet at all, people are good and ghosts are cunning, those two old guys may no longer be as simple as being rotten by time into ghosts.
　　
　　 "The treatment center finally fell. Bai Ye, have you considered what I do? If you are willing to come, the whole angry hammer will be under your management, and I will never interfere."
　　
　　 "……"
　　
　　 Su Xiao did not reply. Seeing this, the Duke did not ask any more, got up and walked out. When he arrived at the door, he seemed to suddenly remember something and said:
　　
　　 "I heard that you have a conflict with the dean and deputy dean of the newly transferred treatment hospital?"
　　
　　 "……"
　　
　　 Su Xiao picked up Zhanlongshan in the scabbard, and looked at the Duke sideways.
　　
　　 "Since you think they are unhappy, I will help you deal with it on my own terms, don't thank me."
　　
　　 The heroic laughter gradually faded away in the corridor. The Duke of Mechanical is the same as the rumored one, and he does not follow any rules.
　　
After the corner of the corridor, the Duke smiled with a smile, and he was a little disappointed. If Su Xiao was provoked to shoot, he could not pay for the subsequent 500 ancient gold coins. This thing is one less than one. .
　　
　　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, but it was not only for the ancient gold coins. Three days later, the sacrifice day changed. It is best if someone can hold it in front. Now the Steam God Cult’s wrath hammer mechanism takes the initiative to come here. Of course Su Xiao would not stop the muddy water.
　　
　　 Su Xiao opened the drawer and rummaged in it for a while. According to the location in the temporary memory, he pulled out a data cover. After opening it, a person's data appeared on it.
　　
"The noble son Krank, 27 years old, unmarried, the eldest son of the Duke of Machines, has ordinary talents, and has no sense of wealth, beauty, and status. At the age of 17, he has taken an important position in the Steam God Cult with his extraordinary mind. "
　　
　　 The son of the Duke of Mechanical, he is excellent, but he does not have a strong extraordinary aptitude. This is a contradictory combination in the steam cult that respects the strong.
　　
　　 Su Xiao feels that if this is not arranged for a play of father and son filial piety, I am sorry for the Duke of Mechanical who came to take advantage of the fire tonight.
　　
　　 Your son Crank has no sense of wealth, power, and beauty? It doesn't matter, [The Will of the Betrayer] deals with this problem exclusively.
　　
　　 "The will of the betrayer: When the target becomes a child of the world, the will of the betrayer will be inherited, and the betrayal will be carried out with a high probability.
　　
　　The will of the betrayer: Those who inherit this will will have an unimaginable sense of pleasure in their hearts when they betray others. "
　　
　　 For the noble son Crank, who feels plain to everything, once he experiences the pleasure of the betrayer’s will, he will definitely be addicted to it.
　　
　　 Noble son Crank is doing work under his father, maybe, Dai Filial son Crank is about to go online.
　　
　　 Su Xiao's index finger lightly pressed the desk. Originally, he wanted to talk to the new dean and deputy dean, and let the two of them take over the treatment hospital. This mess, he didn't plan to continue to take over, just put a name on it now.
　　
The result was that the Duke had been annihilated by the Duke before he could contact there. The Duke had a keen sense of smell and knew that something big would happen on the day of God’s Sacrifice in three days’ time. Healing the face of the church, healing the church is at best after the fall, and will not turn its face immediately.
　　
　　 Originally wanted to see if there are talents among the newcomers, but now they have failed. Su Xiao was thinking like this, and suddenly a breath approached. He looked into the courtyard from the window, and a ghost floated in.
　　
　　 Seeing that there are still such good things, Su Xiao is ready to catch him, and keep it as a mana recovery package, but he can keep his eyes on it, he feels that this ghost seems a bit familiar.
　　
Picking up a document on the table, Su Xiao opened it and compared it. The ghost that floated back was the hapless new dean. I have to say that the risk of the dean of the treatment hospital is too high, but 90 of them % Of the risk comes from the deputy dean, and the rest is from outside.
　　
　　 It seems that he noticed Su Xiao's gaze, and Ghost looked up to the office, his translucent, pale face gradually showed a color of hatred, and he rushed straight towards Su Xiao.
　　
Su Xiao opened the window and stepped back a few steps, when the wind hit, and when the new dean rushed forward with the wind and the horrible wailing sound, a big fleshy hand was formed behind Su Xiao, as if pinching a frog, to hold the new dean. Pinch it in your hand.
　　
After a ghostly howl, the new dean was almost squeezed. Presumably, this man was too unwilling to be reconciled. He waited for the wronged soul to come back. He was in a fearful position, and soon learned that Su Xiao, the deputy dean, was not dead. , This man ran away immediately.
　　
　　 Perseveringly, he was in the hotel and still in his sleep. He was found by the Duke himself. The Duke came to Su Xiao after he got rid of him.
　　
　　 Preliminary perception, Su Xiao discovered that this is a negative emotion such as resentment, combined with a soul energy constituted by the soul, lost interest, clenched his vigorous hands tightly, and squeezed.
　　
　　 It took more than half an hour. Some people rushed to the headquarters of the treatment hospital. Su Xiao discovered that these were all new members. They wanted to come to the new dean and deputy dean to die tragically. These new people were a little confused, so they all came to the treatment hospital.
　　
These people can be used as new blood supplements, and naturally they have received corresponding training. At about 12 midnight, the headquarters of the treatment center resumed the former sense of bright lights. Obviously, several high-level executives are not prepared to make this matter too clear. To settle accounts with the Duke Qiuhou.
　　
　　 Order a good supper, sitting around the desk, Su Xiao found that Ilia was still standing aside.
　　
"Have a meal."
　　
　　 "Well, I'm so hungry."
　　
　　 Ilia was sitting next to Boubowang. She didn't know what she had read before she started to eat.
　　
　　 Su Xiao learned that Ilia would leave the world at the earliest tomorrow and the morning after the latest. This time her parents and grandmother let her out, more to see the outside world.
　　
　　 Even so, Su Xiao always felt that letting Ilia over there this time was not as simple as it seemed.
　　
Before Su Xiao had a feeling that Sin Yas did not respect Pluto as he thought. It stands to reason that Pluto is the highest ancient of the Falling Star. When Sin Yas mentioned this existence, he did not say that he was respectful. But at the very least, there should be a bit of awe.
　　
　　 The real situation is not like that. This makes Su Xiao kind, the power of Sin Yass seems to be brewing something secretly, and the plot is very big, maybe they are thinking of pulling the Underworld to the position of the ancient god.
　　
　　 After being promoted to the ninth rank, Su Xiao can go to Transcendence·Native World·Meteor Star. If there is such a change, he doesn't mind participating in it.
　　
Not only this incident, after Su Xiao’s last encounter with Mage Sage Sephylia on the demon train, Sephylia gave him the feeling that she was no longer inaccessible, although she still felt that she was not an opponent, but Su Xiao Akatsuki estimated that as long as he was promoted to Tier 9 and experienced 2 to 3 Tier 9 worlds, Sephylia would not be his opponent with a high probability. The opponent's combat power should be in the late Tier 9 or the late Tier 9 world. To the extent, there is a natural advantage in eliminating the spellcaster.
　　
　　Su Xiao arranged Ilia in the bedroom connected to the office~EbookFREE.me~He sat in the office in a cross-legged meditation session, and the dawn was only a few hours away, so there was no need to sleep.
　　
　　 A few hours passed quickly, and the first sun rose on the horizon. At around 6 o'clock in the morning, the high-walled city turned into a misty scene, and the entire giant city seemed to be waking up again.
　　
　　 Su Xiao ended his meditation. He asked Eminem to stay in the office, so he took Boubowan and Baha to go out.
　　
　　Since the duke has begun to be unruly, of course the noble son Crank has to make arrangements.
　　
Su Xiao took Boubowan and Baha out of the headquarters of the treatment center and walked east of the city. On the street where pedestrians were endless, a contact device in Su Xiao's arms began to vibrate, which made him wonder. , It was too early to contact him over there.
　　
　　 took out the contactor and changed the direction of travel according to the interconnection positioning situation above.
　　
　　 Nearly an hour later, Su Xiao stopped on a pedestrian street, and a figure was waiting in front, it was Guru.
　　
　　 For some reason, Gulu's left hand was covered with a bandage full of golden lines, and he had only been in this world for one night. Gulu had dark circles under her eyes like smoky makeup. This scene seemed familiar.
　　
　　 "Hymn, see who it is."
　　
　　 grunting, gritted her teeth, she tore off the bandage on her left arm, and a mouth with thin red lips appeared on the palm of her left hand.
　　
　　 "Don't do meaningless struggles, you can't escape..."
　　
　　 As soon as the words of the hymn were spoken, her soul vision saw Su Xiao on the opposite side. At this moment, the hymn's mentality changed drastically.
