Chapter 88
After spending some time tidying up his home, Su Xingyuan finally looked at the instructions for using the Dragon Ball.
Since Atlantis and the Abyss have been incorporated into the player's territory and will no longer be eroded by external magic, there is no use keeping the Dragon Balls there. So far, there are already two Dragon Balls in Xingyuan.
He opened the [Dragon Ball User Manual], and then a pop-up window [Please check the Dragon Ball panel] appeared in the game.
Su Xingyuan lowered his eyes and looked at the dark blue dragon ball in his hand. There was a whole long string of words revealed on it.
【Name: Dragon Ball】
[Description: The second dragon ball spit out from the mouth of the dragon that has transformed into a real dragon, containing the pure magic power injected into it by the real dragon]
[1. Can purify all the evil spirits within a radius of 100 miles; cannot completely purify pollutants, can only suppress the pollution effect of pollutants]
[2. It has a soothing effect and can resist mental erosion to a certain extent]
[3. When held and used by aquatic organisms, the purification capacity will be increased by 20%]
[Note: The effect of Dragon Balls will be weakened in the land environment]
Su Xingyuan does not have a statistical table of the number of monsters that have appeared in the human world in recent years, but the monsters encountered from the beginning of the game to now, and the portals that appear more and more densely and frequently, can also prove that their numbers seem to be increasing.
As a game player, Su Xingyuan knew very well what kind of signal this was - while the player appeared as the "savior", the devil increased his infiltration into the human world.
In other words, it is because the devil's infiltration is beginning to worsen that this world needs the birth of a savior.
Anyway, no matter which statement is made, players will not feel the slightest bit of guilt. If an NPC morally blackmails him, he will not persist with a golden character, but will just leave - or kill someone.
It's just a game, who likes to be bullied?
Su Xingyuan left his [home] and returned to reality wearing an invisibility cloak. He looked around as usual and found that Ennis was still slumped in the same place, looking as if he was in a trance. He checked his personal panel again and found the [Neurasthenia] debuff in [Status] was clearly visible.
Su Xingyuan didn't care about Ennis's existence. He directly used his magic power to surround the dragon ball, releasing only a little space to check its effect.
The process was clearly visible. In the area demarcated by the Star Origin, the filthy demonic energy was quickly purified, leaving no trace of contamination from the medicine made by Country S.
And because Su Xingyuan's magic power is pure enough and does not contain any impurities, the power in the dragon ball obviously likes it very much. Su Xingyuan can vaguely feel that the thickness of his magic power is increasing under such influence.
After seeing the effect of Dragon Balls, the players' minds instantly became active.
If monsters need to go through a portal to come to the human world, humans can at least be on guard. After all, the portal will glow and stand there clearly visible.
However, it is difficult to find, kill and eliminate the monsters among humans with any effective means at the first time.
What's more, even if the monsters were transformed from ordinary people, they would be troublesome enough for hunters of B and C levels, who account for the largest number, not to mention those transformed from powerful hunters.
But if you place a dragon ball in the center of the city, you can suppress the transformation of these monsters to the greatest extent and reduce the number of enemies.
After thinking for a while, Su Xing originally collected the dragon ball and threw one back home, asking the Dungeon Knights and the Undead Skeletons and other monsters to build a sculpture in the main city, which is the map where Leafa is, and place the dragon ball in the sculpture.
As for the human world, he will not use it on such a large scale for the time being.
Retracting his thoughts, Su Xingyuan slowly swept his gaze across the assembly line factory under the invisibility cloak.
Then, the black-haired boy showed an eager expression.
——He would be very careful not to make any sound.
What could be more exciting than stealing something right in front of the owner?
The next day.
Su Xingyuan opened the door, walked downstairs leisurely, and followed Xu Banmeng.
The woman raised her eyebrows slightly and asked, "Aren't you going to stay in your room and sleep today?"
Su Xingyuan blinked and said innocently, "I'm just suddenly a little curious about the gene enhancement potion. Is this not okay?"
Xu Banmeng understood instantly.
She withdrew her gaze with a look of hidden thought.
According to Xu Banmeng's superficial understanding of Su Xingyuan's character, he must have done something last night.
And it dealt a huge blow to Ennis.
If Xu Banmeng still thought that Ennis was the partner she was about to cooperate with, she would probably have a headache because of the black-haired boy's arbitrary behavior.
But all signs indicated that something was wrong with Ennis. After she knew what Su Xingyuan had done, she could only watch the show.
I have to say, it feels really safe to stand on the same side with the Xingyuan Hunter, and there is a kind of beauty of winning without doing anything.
Soon, they saw Ennis.
The Lord who was so high-spirited yesterday always gave people a listless feeling today. His clothes were wrapped more tightly, especially around his neck. Xu Banmeng took a quick glance at him and was filled with doubts.
Previously, the material covering the neck could be considered a clothing style, but today it seemed a bit too deliberate, as if it was intended to cover up something that shouldn't be seen.
Su Xingyuan, who knew everything, blinked.
This minor injury can be cured by drinking a few healing potions, right?
Unless this guy was really too afraid of the sudden appearance of the Demon King, fearing that the other party was still watching his every move, he did not dare to repair his injuries at all.
It was the first time that Su Xingyuan encountered such a timid NPC, and he even found it a little strange.
The undisguised gaze of the black-haired boy gave Ennis goosebumps. He even had the illusion that he had become a monkey in an amusement park. Under such a gaze, no matter how dark his thoughts were, they seemed to be exposed.
But no matter what, Su Xingyuan is also a powerful S-level hunter. If he is not prepared, Enis cannot attack him.
The man tried hard to force a normal smile, greeted these guys he disliked with a smile, and exchanged some insignificant pleasantries.
During this time, the black-haired hunter's gaze remained quietly on him.
Ennis was tense throughout the whole process.
...Why didn't I notice before that the oppressive feeling brought by this black-haired hunter could reach such a terrifying level?
Despite being so tense, Enis even breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the factory, because after visiting the factory, today's itinerary was basically over.
Ennis came here last night to transfer the dragon balls, so as to prevent this group of people from discovering the core reason why there are "almost no side effects" from using the potion. He didn't expect to be... intercepted.
Thinking of this, his face turned a little ugly. He turned his back to the group behind him and opened the door of the factory with his fingerprint and iris.
…
The man's body froze in place.
He suddenly took a few steps forward, looking at the empty warehouse with almost panic on his face. After seeing the situation inside clearly, his legs almost went weak and he fell to the ground.
"How is it possible... How is it possible! Where is my potion?! Where is the potion I left here?!!"
Not only the medicine, but even the machines used to make the medicine were taken away. The entire factory was completely emptied, leaving him with nothing useful.
"This..." Xu Banmeng slowly stepped into the factory. Her eyes turned and she instantly thought of something. But when Ennis suddenly turned around and looked at her, he caught a flash of genuine surprise in the woman's eyes.
Ennis knew that Xu Banmeng's acting skills must be very good, but what he just saw was almost the other party's subconscious instinctive reaction. He could still judge that the culprit was not Xu Banmeng.
The man looked at Su Xingyuan beside her with red eyes again.
The smile on the black-haired boy's lips deepened. He raised his eyebrows slightly, and his beautiful green eyes scanned the empty space inch by inch. Noticing Ennis's gaze, he smiled regretfully and said:
"Oh my, who is so inhumane that they emptied this place? This is abominable. I strongly condemn it."
Ennis: “…”
Someone come and calm him down, he really wants to strangle this guy to death! !
But the first person he went to see was Xu Meng, so now he couldn't be sure whether Su Xingyuan's performance was fake or a true expression of his feelings.
Logically speaking, a hunter this young wouldn't be so scheming, and Su Xingyuan's personality is so annoying that he makes enemies too easily, so he doesn't seem like a scheming person.
But if it wasn’t Su Xingyuan, nor Xu Banmeng, then who could it be? !
Who else had the ability to enter his factory and take away all his large equipment without anyone noticing? ?
Suddenly, Ennis' heart skipped a beat.
His mind uncontrollably recalled Su Xingyuan's words "inhumane" and "strong condemnation".
He immediately shuddered and retorted subconsciously: "I don't agree with what you said...! To empty this factory, uh, shows that the person has foresight and a high-level vision..."
Xu Banmeng: “……?”
Xu Banmeng looked strange for a moment. She organized her words and asked tentatively, "Are you okay, Mr. Ennis?"
Could it be that he has become stupid due to the stimulation?
However, Ennis still seemed not to understand what she meant. He gritted his teeth and said words of praise with a twisted expression: "The existence that can do such a thing as emptying the factory without telling anyone must be very powerful!"
After finishing speaking, Ennis took a deep breath and said, "Boss Xu... I'm afraid our trip will have to be postponed."
Xu Banmeng did not make things difficult for him. She knew very well that one should not be forced into a desperate situation, especially when it was someone else's home court.
She smiled and said, "Of course, I still look forward to working with you."
The black-haired boy seemed to take a last look at him and left with Xu Banmeng.
Under the worried gazes of several confidants who stayed behind, Ennis punched the wall next to him.
He didn't dare to bet that it was really the devil who suddenly had a bad taste and might embarrass him, so he must not say anything to slander the culprit.
Otherwise, it would be disrespectful to the Demon King!
But even though he didn't say so openly, the man couldn't suppress the hatred in his heart, which even grew stronger because of his efforts to conceal it.
He thought of the order that the Demon City had given him before, which was to delay Su Xingyuan and Xu Banmeng and his group as much as possible so that they could no longer leave Country S. At the same time, before that, they should reach a cooperation and spread the pollution to as many parts of the world as possible.
But now, his dignity and his ambition were all trampled on the ground!
He is using the Demon King's City, but isn't the Demon King's City also using him? !
The hatred in the man's eyes gradually solidified.
In that case... he will reveal all the secrets here, completely detonating the hidden dangers he has planted for Country S, and let Su Xingyuan, the guy who claims to be the number one hunter in Country C, and these monsters kill each other. No one of them will have an easy time!
**
In the bathroom.
Xu Banmeng was checking her makeup when she saw Jiang Yu walk in from the corner of her eye.
She immediately understood something and chuckled, "Relax, it's okay."
Jiang Yu sighed softly and whispered, "I have a feeling it's him."
The guy who never plays by the rules.
Xu Banmeng put on a bright red lipstick and said cryptically, "There must be a reason for doing this."
From the information that Xingyuan Su revealed on the plane that Ennis was not S-level, to sneaking into the factory before they knew about it, to emptying the factory under the surveillance...
Although Xu Banmeng knew that Su Xingyuan was not very reliable sometimes, the strength and mystery he displayed made her uncontrollably think more deeply about his behavior.
As for this collaboration, she no longer has any hope.
There was something wrong with the drinks, and Ennis wanted to harm her. There was no point in cooperating. She should be thankful that she could leave safely. Seeing them get humiliated, she just felt relieved.
Jiang Yu was at the side, hesitating to speak.
Xu Banmeng had never gone down the dungeon with that guy, and perhaps he still had some fantasies about Su Xingyuan. Moreover, as the boss of Tongtian Tower who was accustomed to overthinking, Xu Banmeng would always rationalize Su Xingyuan's affairs.
But Jiang Yu doesn't think so.
She knew very well how much Su Xingyuan longed for an enemy - she couldn't find the right word for the moment, so she used "longing" instead.
When Jiang Yu went down into the dungeon with Su Xingyuan, he discovered that Su Xingyuan had an almost paranoid obsession with killing enemies with his own hands.
The stronger the enemies and the greater their number, the happier he is. He will take on all the monsters by himself and will not allow anyone else to interfere.
It was totally unlike the hunters she had met before who tried every possible means to conserve their energy.
But he was very careful. After reviewing the situation, Jiang Yu was sure that before she reminded Su Xingyuan, the other party had already discovered that something was wrong with the monster disguised as a wizard, and had predicted the other party's attack in advance while still in the BOSS room.
Therefore, if Jiang Yu were to summarize the current situation, it would be -
Premeditated irritation.
There is no other purpose but to kill.
"What are you talking about, ladies?"
A familiar voice suddenly appeared.
Jiang Yu shuddered, his pupils trembling as he looked at the head that suddenly popped out, and he couldn't help but say in a lost voice:
"Xingxingyuan Hunter? This is the women's room!"
The Xingyuan Hunter blinked and said, "I know."
Jiang Yu: “???”
The player swaggered in.
The corners of the NPC's eyes twitched wildly, as if it wanted to say something but hesitated. However, when it noticed that the player was trying to see if they had any other reaction with their eyes shining, the NPC immediately returned to its indifference.
Jiang Yu: "Stop it, Suxingyuan Hunter, you should have known that there was no one else in the bathroom except us."
Xu Banmeng put the lipstick back into her bag, turned around, looked into Su Xingyuan's eyes, and emphasized helplessly:
"Our contract is to guarantee my safety, Mr. Su Xingyuan."
Xu Banmeng doesn't lack the cooperation of one or two people, but she values her life.
Therefore, no matter what Su Xingyuan does, as long as we can protect her and get her back to Country C safely, the mission will be successfully completed.
The black-haired boy smiled and said, "Don't worry, Boss Xu. How could I be the kind of guy who doesn't keep his promise?"
He changed the subject: "If Boss Xu has given up on reaching a cooperation with Ennis, you'd better stay in the hotel for the next few days until I come back."
Xu Banmeng: "Are you going to look for those people?"
The black-haired boy narrowed his eyes: "There are always things that need to be confirmed."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and left. Then, as if he remembered something, he turned back to look at Jiang Yu and said with a smile, "See, I'm not that unreliable, right?"
Even though he knew that Su Xingyuan had no ill intentions, Jiang Yu still felt a chill in his heart, and goose bumps spread all over his arms and body.
This guy...
Is his hidden ability to read minds? ?
Knowing that it was not a pleasant feeling to feel like one was completely seen through, Xu Banmeng patted Jiang Yu's shoulder to comfort him, but his eyes fell on the direction where Su Xingyuan left.
She said casually, "Perhaps I should be thankful that the Xingyuan hunters prefer to solve problems with force and are not interested in Tongtian Tower. Otherwise..."
She said no more.
Then, the sound of high heels stepping on the ground was heard, and Xu Banmeng restrained his expression and walked out of the bathroom.
*
Just as Xu Banmeng said, Su Xingyuan put on an invisibility cloak, returned to Bai Wei's room, and put on a [strange mask].
In the afternoon, as if feeling bored, the black-haired young man finally left the room. When he went down to the lobby to inquire about room service, he casually asked, "There seems to be more security today? Did something happen?"
The receptionist was also confused. He shook his head and said, "I don't know either. Not only security guards, but also many hunters came."
The black-haired young man showed a worried look.
Because of the charm bonus brought by the [Face-Pinning Master], even if he is unhappy in the slightest, people who are bewitched by his charm value will find ways to comfort him.
Just like now, the front desk clerk quickly comforted him, "It's okay. You must know that Xu Banmeng and Su Xingyuan from Country C are also staying here, right?"
"Although I don't know why they came back so early today... but this is definitely the safest place. I heard that Su Xingyuan is the most powerful hunter in Country C."
Hearing that his safety was guaranteed, the black-haired young man's face immediately looked much better. He smiled and thanked, then returned to the room.
The moment the door was closed, the emotions in the black-haired young man's eyes faded away like the tide. When there was no lively expression on his face, influenced by his temperament, he showed a bit of calmness and coldness.
——Ennis blocked the news of the accident in the factory.
There were many people present at the time, and the fact that he was able to block the news so quickly was enough to prove his control over the city.
The heightened alert in the vicinity and the sense of impending storm will make it impossible for the members of the Demon King's City from Country C to sit idly by.
Probably...it's about this time.
“Knock, knock.”
There was a sudden knock on the door.
The black-haired young man stood up leisurely, lowered his eyes to open the door, and then raised his eyes again, with a fierce tone in his pupils.
Outside the door was a woman who looked like a passerby. Her presence was very low. If it weren't for Su Xingyuan's high intelligence and sharp perception, he probably wouldn't have noticed for a moment that she was standing quietly in front of his door.
She said softly, "The Suexingyuan Hunter is here."
Bai Wei curled up the corners of his lips, but the words that came out of his mouth seemed to roll on the tip of a knife, carrying with them a not-so-perfectly-hidden coldness.
"But he should have died a long time ago."
The woman raised her head.
"You must be Mr. Bai Wei."
Bai Wei moved aside to let her enter the room and closed the door.
When he turned around, the woman had destroyed all the eavesdropping devices.
"To make a long story short, what do I need to do?" Bai Wei asked straight to the point.
Woman: "Don't worry, you don't need to face the enemy head-on. You just need to direct Ennis' hatred towards Xu Banmeng and Su Xingyuan and his group."
Bai Wei laughed: "Let them fight, is that right?"
The black-haired young man sat on the sofa slowly, crossed his legs, and sighed: "The organization really overestimated me. You know who Ennis is. Even for his own interests, he will not turn hostile immediately in the short term, and he even tried his best to promote this cooperation."
In Ennis's heart, interests are above everything else, and the Demon King's City is just a means to achieve the goal. He believes that women, including other members of the organization, are well aware of this.
He continued, "I am just a small character in the Demon King's City. How can I make Ennis willingly give up his own interests and risk everything to turn against his partners?"
The woman instantly understood his subtext.
She stared solemnly at the black-haired young man in front of her who looked a little frail.
He is even more handsome than in the photo, and even gives people an almost weird charm. But what is more alarming than this charm is his careless ambition.
It seems that they were indeed wrong at the beginning.
Is Bai Wei's level really that mediocre?
But this is just fine.
The Demon King's City never needs useless people.
The woman's expression softened a lot, and the faint sense of contempt faded away. She said: "I promise with the power of the Third Demon King that no matter what means you use, as long as you can complete this task and create large-scale chaos in Country S..."
"Then, when you return to Country C, you will sit on his left."
Bai Wei raised his eyebrows slightly: "Who is 'he'?"
Woman: "You will know after you complete the task."
The black-haired young man laughed.
He stood up, placed his right hand on his chest politely, bowed and said, "The day after tomorrow at the latest, why don't you sit down and watch the show?"
"Of course - I only cause chaos and use whatever means I can. What happens next is not within my scope of business."
The woman looked at him deeply and said, "This couldn't be better."
She nodded goodbye, walked out the door like a ghost, and disappeared into the crowd.
Bai Wei stood up and closed the door.
The next moment, the lingering aura of an ambitious man was instantly shattered. The black-haired young man stretched and lay down on the bed, feeling very happy.
“Sitting on his left” means being the second in command in Country C, right?
If he kills the top leader by then, won’t he become the boss?
Just a scare on Ennis instantly brought him to the peak of undercover work. This wave is called winning without any effort.
