Vol 50 Chapter 6: :gem

In the mission world, you will encounter various unexpected scenes. For example, right now, this assassin comes calmly and wears an ancient mask.
Which force's assassin is this is no longer important. Why the other party can use the ancient mask is what Su Xiao wants to know. Why did he leave the ancient mask in the first place? One of the reasons is that this quasi-original sin thing can be 'eaten' very well, and it has entered the growth stage of original sin, which belongs to both 'eating' and not working.
But right now, this assassin, who was walking calmly, had successfully used the ancient mask. It seemed that he did not pay the price of the original soul, which was very interesting.
As the creator of the ancient mask, Su Xiao feels that this assassin has more research value than the ancient mask.
At this moment, in the perspective of the dark wizard Casper, everything in front of him is bloody. This is the unique perspective of wearing the ancient mask. As one of the prices for using this quasi-original sin, wearing the ancient mask At the moment, he will continue to absorb vitality, which also leads to him becoming a regular customer of the Void Medicine Master Guild.
Casper calculated the distance in his heart, and in five more steps, he would reach his optimal killing range. The more he got to this point, the clearer his thinking became. However, he was still a little excited about the first assassination attempt. , this is the target of the double bounty offered by the Hunter Guild and the Arcane Eternal Star.
Casper is ready to activate his representative ability "Dark Eater". This ability will take him as the center, continuously ejecting dark matter to the surrounding area, causing super multi-stage attacks to targets within 20 meters of the surrounding area, and it is physical damage + soul damage. + Triple dark matter penetration damage for mental damage. If you are within 3 meters of Casper, the penetration frequency of dark matter will soar from 2 to 3 times per second to 18 to 20 times per second.
In addition, Casper's five rings, as well as several other precious accessories, all enhance the power and penetrating power of dark matter. His attack, when caught off guard, has a 30% probability of being an echelon of equal strength in an instant. , even if it doesn't fall off in an instant, the body will be penetrated into tatters by dark matter, and then die in Casper's hands.
With this move, the dark wizard Casper killed four absolute powerhouses. This is a superpower. It is already an amazing record. After obtaining the ancient mask, Casper used the " "Dark bite" ability, instantly surpasses a super strong, even if the opponent only has a strong downstream, but it is still a very strong record.
In the noisy teleportation waiting hall, Casper continued to move forward, three steps, two steps, one step... Now! !
The dark wizard Casper's breath suddenly burst out, and he seemed to see that the body of the spell destroyer was penetrated to tatters by dark matter, and then died in his hands, which made the happiness in his eyes unable to hide.
'die! ! ’
With the dark wizard Casper as the center, liquid or fragmented dark matter erupted, and Su Xiao, Boubowang, Eminem, Baja, and Alana were immediately sprayed into the holes in their bodies. In the waiting hall of the tower, flesh and blood were flying, and in the center of the violent eruption, Casper's face gradually showed a violent smile...
"Boss, what do you think he is thinking, has he already wiped out our group, that's why he smiled so happily."
An unfamiliar voice suddenly entered Casper's ears, causing the violent smile on his face to freeze immediately.
That's right, everything Casper experienced just now was an illusion, the perfect disguise, the calm approach to the target, and the last gorgeous lore, all of which were illusions.
The real situation is that, 10 seconds ago, the dark wizard Casper came to Su Xiao. After one, two, and three steps, there were hundreds of scarlet tentacles on the ancient mask, and they pierced Casper's head at the same time. Department, Casper immediately straightened his body, and then stood upright like a wooden stick, and Bang fell down. After that, he made the greatest struggle, and twitched his body like a fish on the shore.
The scene at this time is that the ancient mask has been transferred from the face of the dark wizard Casper to the center of his chest. Casper's involuntary body spasms, foaming at the mouth.
From the beginning to the end, Su Xiao didn't even move a finger, he didn't even release mental fluctuations, he just glanced at the ancient mask.
At eight o'clock in the evening, in a mansion in Night City.
This mansion has been uninhabited for some time. Su Xiao originally planned to go to the ancient king city as soon as possible, but the staff in the teleportation tower learned that the space transmission has been temporarily blocked in the ancient king city. For other areas, this is a big deal, but For the chaotic ancient king city, this is a commonplace, and it must be that several major forces in the city are fighting again and again, ready to fight.
Using the "Destruction Teleportation Array" can indeed ignore the space ban of the ancient king city, and even smash it to pieces, but then what we have to face is the siege of all the forces in the ancient king city. In that place, if the Dark God Cult wants to establish a branch, it must be It's not worth it to get slapped a few times a day and rashly provoke this group of lunatics. When the follow-up situation is urgent, it's okay to provoke them again.
The space ban over there will be lifted tomorrow morning. Su Xiao is not going to leave Night City tonight. He has to figure out which side the assassin sent this dark wizard. If it was sent by the Starry Sky Research Association, it would be necessary to consider how to retaliate.
In the warm and humid wine cellar, the lights were dimmed, and the dark wizard Casper gradually opened his eyes. After looking up and looking around, he found himself tied to a seat with his hands tied behind his back.
Armed with a bloodthirsty battle axe, Eminem stood behind Casper, ready to chop off his head with an axe.
"Everyone's time is precious, let's keep it short..."
Halfway through what Baja said, Casper said directly:
"Cough~, I am the dark wizard Casper. I am over 400 years old this year. I forgot the exact age. I should be approaching middle age. The purpose of this assassination is the bounty of the Hunter Guild and the Arcane Eternal Star, and has nothing to do with personal grievances. , my hunter nameplate and reward voucher are in the hotel room. The hotel is on the third street north of the city center. It is a special hotel serving assassins. The room number I live in is 4009. The elevator goes up to the fourth floor. Go to the right in the corridor, in the innermost room, I still have assets of more than 10,000 soul coins, which are stored in the bank of the Goblin Chamber of Commerce..."
Casper said it in great detail, is this cowardly? No, although these information are facts, for him, it is not a secret worth holding on, so it is better to reveal it directly. …
As for the betrayal of the Hunter Guild, it is a neutral force. While accepting any entrustment, it will not shelter the hunters who come here to accept the entrustment. The hunters do not need to keep secrets and favoritism about the guild. On the contrary, the guild will not help the hunters. For revenge, from the beginning to the end, the two are not the relationship between superiors and subordinates, but cooperation with clear boundaries.
"You are quite knowledgeable about current affairs. Tell me, how did you use the ancient mask?"
"Is this thing called the ancient mask?"
Casper nodded thoughtfully. The assassin had no brand, so naturally he couldn't check the attributes of the ancient mask, so he could only gradually explore how to use the mask.
After being silent for a few seconds, Casper sighed and said, "Do you think that I have been a hunter in the Hunter Guild for so many years, why I only have more than 10,000 soul coins in my deposit."
Saying this, Casper felt regretful for a while. He didn't know what happened before, and he willingly devoured all kinds of resources to the ancient mask, and he also specially offered rewards that were difficult to deal with.
Thinking about it at this time, this is the moment he put on the ancient mask, and it is destined. While this mask is powerful, it will also deceive the mind of the bearer, which is very close to the original sin of the complete body.
"You can't kill me. If I die, you will be targeted by this mask."
Casper showed his last resort, and no one wants to be targeted by an object that is about to become the original sin.
"Well, you're right, you can't die yet."
Hearing Su Xiao's remarks, Casper was relieved, but the next second, Su Xiao, who was sitting opposite, raised one hand with one hand, and the ancient mask on Casper's chest was immediately absorbed, and then let the card Sper was shocked by what happened.
Su Xiao held the front of the ancient mask in his right hand, and a crystal bottle in the other hand. As his right hand wrapped in the crystal layer exerted force, a translucent liquid substance seeped out of the ancient mask, dripping. Falling into the crystal bottle below, these liquid substances are a kind of mixed "special source substances", which are transformed from the ancient masks after devouring all kinds of rare resources, and they will be absorbed by themselves in the future, thus strengthening their might. can.
After a while, the wooden ancient mask became dry. From beginning to end, the scarlet tentacles protruding from the mask did not dare to wrap around Su Xiao's right hand or forearm, and could only writhe and struggle meaninglessly. .
"get out."
Su Xiao threw away the mask of the ancients, and the mask of the ancients disappeared immediately, not knowing where it disappeared. Not only did he not show anger, but he ran away quickly.
Looking at the dark wizard Casper at the moment, his eyes widened, his mouth opened a little without knowing it, and his face was full of refreshed cognition. During the period of the ancient mask, I really offered it like a big father. Every time I picked it up with my hands, I had to be polite.
Casper looked at the spell destroyer sitting on a wooden chair a few meters away. This time, he was really panicked.
"I'm a very reasonable person."
As Su Xiao spoke, the green steel shadow energy spread from the sole of his right foot, forming a summoning formation on the ground, and the tree spirit of the [greedy tree of life] was summoned.
Seeing the tree spirit of the tree of life, Casper found that this thing is somewhat similar to the ancient mask. Although it is not the real original sin, it is only one step behind. …
Su Xiao poured the mixed "special source essence" in the crystal bottle onto the root system spread by the tree spirit. These "special source essence" were too speckled, so the tree of life absorbed them and produced "fruit of life". This is the safe way.
"Five."
Su Xiao opened his mouth. What he meant was that, including the "fruit of life" originally owed by [Greedy Tree of Life], the "special source quality" provided this time, the other party would repay with four "fruits of life".
The root system of the tree spirit surging, meaning that Su Xiao's request was beyond its ability, but after being stared at by Su Xiao expressionlessly for a few seconds, the tree spirit backed down, saying that five " The fruit of life" is offered obediently.
Su Xiao raised his hand, indicating that the [Greedy Tree of Life] can also be Gon. It's not that he has a bad attitude towards [Greedy Tree of Life] and the ancient mask, but that he must maintain the absolute upper hand when facing these two guys. , otherwise it may be attacked.
The tree spirit disappeared into the air, and then disappeared. The dark wizard Casper on the opposite side had a gloomy face, and he was already a little desperate. He knew that he would die today. Big slap in the face, and after being slapped, he swallowed his anger and left.
"Where did we talk just now?"
Su Xiao took out a bottle of wine from the wine rack on the side, and felt that the wine was okay. He opened it and tasted it. It was not comparable to the elemental wine, but the brewing experience was still worthy of praise.
"You said just now that you are actually very reasonable."
"Oh, yes, that's what I said, so you feel, am I being reasonable?"
After Su Xiaogang finished speaking, Eminem behind Casper put the battle axe on the back of his neck and felt the sharp blade. Casper said willingly, "In my opinion, Mr. Bai Ye, you are very reasonable."
After speaking, Casper smiled and nodded to confirm. Although he is extremely strong, he is more proficient at assassination. In terms of comprehensive strength, he is actually on the upper side of absolute strength, plus the upper limit stops here, and as a traitor of the wizard camp, Casper didn't care about the style of the strong.
After successfully convincing people with reason, Su Xiao asked, "I have no enmity with you, right?"
"right."
"But you want to kill me for your own selfish interests, right?"
"wrong."
"Well, since you provoke me first, I will spend some soul coins to let the sea clan of Fenghai Continent trap you in the worm cave at the bottom of the sea, and be eaten by corrupt sea worms for hundreds of years to relieve me. The hatred in my heart is also reasonable."
Su Xiao is on the Fenghai Continent and has a general relationship with the Orcs. After all, he killed the old Beastmaster, but he and the old Beastmaster fought to the death, and the Orcs would not take revenge for it. As for the Sea Clan, Su Xiao and the Sea Clan He has always been hostile, but before leaving Fenghai Continent, the relationship between him and the sea clan naturally eased. Even though he and the sea king have never met, they have cooperated tacitly, and they have never met, but they look up to each other. point.
After listening to Su Xiao's kind narration, Casper's face began to look wrong. If others said that, he would only regard it as a threat.
But in front of him is the shadow of the extermination of the law. What these guys can do is really not sure. The deeds of the ancestors of the extermination of the law are widely circulated in the witch world. In particular, one of the female exterminates the law. The Moon Witch, the witch has always held vengeance, but she has endured this matter. It is true that she does not want to have too many entanglements with the worst way to destroy women in history. …
"To entrust the Sea Clan, you have to spend a lot of soul coins. In my opinion, it is not necessary."
While Casper was talking, he had already made a decision to find an opportunity to commit suicide to avoid death rather than life.
"Actually, I am very compassionate."
"?"
On the opposite side, Casper looked at Su Xiao with a dazed expression. If his hands were not tied, he would pat his ears, feeling that he heard it wrong.
"I'm ready to let it go."
"??"
Casper opened his mouth to say something, but didn't know what to say.
"I spared your life so generously. You can sign a contract and do one thing for me. It's not too much to ask for."
Hearing this, Casper's eyes showed a different look, because he saw the hope of getting through this desperate situation, and, the other party said to sign a contract, in order to avoid contract punishment, as a betrayal Casper, Very good.
Su Xiao took out a piece of blood-colored parchment. As the contract unfolded, the contract parchment floated in front of Casper and attached to his chest. After a burning sensation, the contract parchment returned to Su Xiao's hands.
"Since you have signed the contract in good faith."
Su Xiao motioned to Eminem to untie Casper, and Eminem untied the entanglements that contained hundreds of spells.
"This is... a contract?"
Casper is very surprised. He has never seen such a powerful contract signing method. In fact, Su Xiao has a contract that can be signed at a glance, but the cost of this kind of contract is too high, and it is bound by constraints. Not enough.
"The content of the contract is actually not complicated. You can help me send a piece of original sin to the base camp of the Dark God Cult, the Dark Church, whether it is handed over to the Archbishop of Abyss or his subordinates."
Hearing this, Casper, who just had a sense of the rest of his life, was stunned for at least two or three seconds before he reacted. Although his heart was like a thunderclap, he could only bite the bullet and ask, "What kind of original sin are you sending? things."
"You choose."
Su Xiao took out the "Book of Original Sin", turned it towards Casper, and opened the "Book of Original Sin", showing the "Collector" on the first page, the "Necronomicon" on the second page, and the third page. The "Nether Bone Ring", the "Scarlet Scepter" on the fourth page, and the "Soul Crown" forced to the fifth page.
After seeing this scene, Casper's mind buzzed on the spot, he didn't want to choose, but the contract punishment that was faintly activated, let him know that his control over the contract, in front of the contract master, was simply selfish beyond measure.
The reason why Su Xiao left Casper alive is for this reason. After the other party obtained the ancient mask, he gradually became resistant to the original sin. Wearing the original sin for a long time will undoubtedly kill him, but he temporarily held the original sin for a few days and sent the original sin to the Dark God. There is still no problem with the teaching, as for how to escape after that, it depends on his own ability.
In Casper's particularly difficult choice, the fluctuations of the Necronomicon came from the "Book of Original Sin", Su Xiao released it, and Archbishop of the Abyss, whether there is the possibility of using the original sin, there is no need to worry, Su Xiao is the holder of these original sins, and even if it is highly compatible, he does not want to use it, unless he deliberately interrupts most of the causal connection with the "Soul Crown" like when Su Xiao dealt with the King of Sand. …
The current situation is that after the Dark God Sect receives the original sin, there will be no gain except for wearing a mask of pain and huge losses.
The dark wizard Casper who took the "Necronomicon" left. As for whether he knows the location of the Dark God Cult's base camp, the Dark Church, there is no need to worry. As a traitor to the wizard camp, it is inevitable that he will have something to do with the Dark God Cult. intersection.
After leaving the wine cellar, he came to the second floor of the mansion. As soon as Su Xiao took his seat, Baja flew over from the window and said, "Boss, someone is coming to visit."
Hearing this, Su Xiao was a little puzzled. This mansion was chosen by him at random, and he only borrowed it temporarily for one night after seeing no one lived there for at least a year or two. In this case, someone came to visit, which reminded him that this person was in the middle of the night. The power of the city is absolutely sky-high.
After a while, a man in a dark-brown leather coat and trousers with some folds went upstairs. A dark red face towel was wrapped around his neck and lower half of his face. On the belt around his waist, an ivory white handle was inserted. The dagger, he has shave inch hair, there are many tiny scars on his face and head, one of the most obvious, runs through the left cheek, left eye, and spreads all the way to the top of the head.
This person is a bit old and dusty, but he also has a aura that cannot be concealed. His pupils are faintly pierced with blood, like a hungry wolf in the dark night, fierce and focused.
After the visitor was seated, he pulled down the face towel covering the lower half of his face, revealing a short stubble, and said with a smile gradually on his face: "Mr. Bai Ye, it's a pleasure to meet you."
You don't have to think about it, this person is from the underground world, and it is true. This is the second-in-command of the underground forces controlled by Bai Niu. Lucius, known as the executioner, has an extraordinary relationship with Bai Niu. The two sides met when they were still small people and worked hard together to reach today's status.
Among the White Bull forces, apart from the white bull who is the boss, Lucius, the 'Second Master', is the most powerful and means, followed by the White Bull's sister Nilin, and then the 'Third Master' Tess.
Tess is loyal to Bai Niu. The last time he made a move against the Arcane Eternal Star, Tess was there, and the second master, Lucius, this person has something against his bones. The White Bull power will fall apart. When this power is gone, neither White Bull nor Lucius will have a good end, and it will not take long for the two of them to die in the siege of the enemy because of their isolation and helplessness.
This brings about a very interesting scene. The white bull and Lucius are like brothers on the surface, and secretly want to get rid of each other, but the fact is, they must not get rid of each other, that is digging their own graves.
The reason why Lucius came to visit here is that he has a lot of business in Night City, and he is quite powerful here. If Su Xiao needs anything in the future, just come to him.
Let me ask, why is Lucius, who is as ruthless as a hungry wolf, so polite? The reason is that Su Xiao had to sell a large number of potions prepared by the Holy Flame Apothecary in the Void in order to make the reputation of the Holy Flame Apothecary rise rapidly in the void, so as to achieve the plan of the Arcane Eternal Star to invite the Holy Flame Apothecary.
The Holy Flame Apothecary's channel for selling potions in the void is the Bai Niu forces. In order to speed up the progress, Su Xiao gave up the benefits that the potion sales could bring, and these benefits basically went to Bai Niu, his sister Nilin, and Lu In the hands of Hughes. …
Now that Lucius knew that Su Xiao came to Night City, he was naturally willing to visit, and said that if there was cooperation in the field of medicine in the future, he could also find him.
For this cooperation, Su Xiao is not ready to refuse. If Lucius can provide materials and arrange a place, he doesn't mind cooperating with the other party once, at most a few hundred bottles of potions, and let the other party help sell them. This time, he will take a share. Yes, at least 60% or more.
And Lucius, as the local snake in this world, will bring a lot of convenience to deal with the dark religion in the future.
After initially negotiating the cooperation, Lucius left and was busy until now. Su Xiao was going to have a late night snack, but at this moment, a prompt appeared.
