Chapter 397: The Florence Ghoul Incident (4000)

"Postponed? Why?"

Soos put down the tea cup with a snap, his face as gloomy as iron.

George sighed, turned and closed the door. Then he walked to the sofa and said: "Just now, hunter Bai Kui submitted a badge of honor to take away 800 units of holy spring water from the resource management department. This is a badge issued by the director of the agency himself, and there is nothing I can do about it. …”

He sat on the sofa, shook his head, and poured a cup of tea.

"Bai Kui..."

Soth's eyes narrowed, and a dangerous light was secretly revealed.

Bai Kui wants to take away the 800 units of holy spring water from the Hunter Association, which is almost half of the reserve. No wonder George said he would have to wait another two to three weeks to make up for it. If there is nothing at ordinary times, but at this moment Soth is eager to use the holy spring water to forcibly increase his strength. How could he have time to wait until more than half a month later? After a while, the competition for seats will begin.

"I know about the hunter named Bai Kui, but isn't he only at the black bronze level? How can he use so much holy spring water in a short period of time."

Soth said in a deep voice: "Can't you find an excuse to let him exchange resources a little later? I think that kid doesn't dare to doubt anything..."

"Uh..." George, who was drinking water across from him, clicked his lips, feeling a little speechless. He thought so at first, but...

"I'm sorry, Mr. Soth. Our transaction can only be postponed. After all, this is a badge of honor awarded to the old hunter by the legion commander. If Bai Kui really goes to report, I will be the first to die. Please be considerate... "

George smiled professionally.

Directly opposite, Soth's aura became dangerous. The pair of lion-like eyes stared closely at George, bringing a strong sense of oppression. Unexpectedly, the smile on George's face did not change at all, and the teacup in his hand was gently placed on the coffee table. The attitude is clearly evident.

"snort."

Soth snorted coldly, stood up and walked out of the room.

George was the only one left, and he slowly breathed a sigh of relief. Soth's momentum is indeed scary, but it pales in comparison to before.

He didn't want to offend Soth and the royal family, but George didn't want to offend the four people in the lounge. Instinct told him that those four people were more dangerous.

Outside the corridor, Soth glanced at the door with cold eyes and walked straight towards the stairs. He really didn't expect that a mere black and bronze hunter would cause him such big trouble at a critical moment.

The Shadow Thorn organization is also a waste. Several gold medal killers cannot kill a black and bronze hunter. No wonder it was destroyed by unknown forces before.

If I had known then, I would have taken action myself.

The more Soth thought about it, the angrier he became and his pace quickened. Her hair was flying like a lion's mane as she passed a corner. He was about to hasten his departure from the association.

But suddenly I saw two staff members carrying a metal can in the corridor and walking in the other direction. Soos glanced at the jar and raised his eyebrows slightly. This is the largest model of iron can used by the Resource Management Department of the Hunter Association to store holy spring water. Each can hold four hundred units.

There are 800 in total, which is consistent with the resources obtained from the badge of honor.

Soth paused for a moment, then turned around and followed.

More than a minute later.

The corridor where the lounge is located.

Two in front and one behind, three figures walked towards the corner.

The two staff members were a little out of breath. They said they promised to deliver it within ten minutes, but in fact it was almost fifteen minutes now. The main reason is that the location of the warehouse is really far away from the rest room.

They took a few relaxed breaths and then knocked on the door.

"Mr. Bai Kui, your resources are here."

There were footsteps inside, and with a click, the door opened.

A strong young man appeared at the door with an expressionless face.

"This is your holy spring water, a total of 800 units..."

Two staff members were walking inside holding metal cans. Unexpectedly, a strong gust of wind suddenly came from the side, and a tall figure squeezed over.

The man was very fast and looked like he was going to fly away.

"Shua..."

Ka Xiu frowned, put his hands on the shoulders of the two staff members, and shook them back. Then the whole person blocked the doorway.

"snort!"

Soth originally wanted to rush into the room and have a good chat. But since the other party is so ignorant of flattery, don't blame him for forcing it. His right boot slammed into the ground, and his body accelerated. Soth ran and hit like a lion.

Bang!

The entire door frame shook, and the muffled sound of collision echoed in the corridor.

Soth's right shoulder skeleton felt pain, and he felt as if he had hit a tall iron wall. The brute strength of his strong body pushed him up, but he didn't move at all. If you want to use a metaphor, it is probably a lion hitting an elephant. No, it should be a lion hitting a bigger whale.

The former can still be shaken, but the latter is completely impossible.

"Can I understand that you just attacked me? Boy."

The strong man in front, who was half a head taller than Soth, slowly twisted his neck and made a clicking sound. The impact just now was not painful or itchy for him.

"So, my next punch should be regarded as self-defense."

As soon as he finished speaking, all the hairs on Soth's body suddenly stood up. From the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a black arc streaking through the air! At the edge of the arc is a white airflow compressed by the fist edge, emitting a rapid scream.

Bang!

A tall figure flew out and hit the windows in the corridor like a cannonball. Then he shot straight out of the Hunter Association.

A few seconds later, there was a thump of a body falling to the ground in the distance.

Kaxiu glanced at the broken window, stretched out his left hand, and tore off a piece of torn cloth from his muscular right arm. He closed the door with his backhand.

"Okay, give me 800 units of holy spring water."

In the lounge, two staff members looked at each other.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, a message circulated within the Hunter Association.

It was said that after the assassination of Lion King Soth a few days ago, he began to become mentally ill. Today at the headquarters of the Dark Hunter Organization, he actually jumped out of the second-floor window. He fell dozens of meters away, and the whole person was extremely embarrassed.

It seems that the strongest competitor for the Shadow Hunter seat is no longer good. It can only depend on the competition between Thorn Solomon and Siren Claire.

This afternoon, Kaxiu took 800 units of holy spring water from the Hunter Association and punched Lion King Soth away. He was not punished during the period, and there was not even any inquiry. I think Soth also understands that he was in the wrong just now, and it is really embarrassing to be beaten and thrown away.

In addition, the two staff members holding the metal cans were potential witnesses. Soth took the initiative to test the Hunter Association. Even if he had the support of the royal family behind him, he would inevitably be punished.

Since he got 800 units of holy spring water, Kaxiu's research on the platinum stigmata has been on the right track. He cooperated with the ghosts in the world of disaster and exchanged the power of the secret soul at the Black Rain Villa. Then the two merged.

A week passed.

There were as many as 33 platinum stigmata on Kaxiu's arm.

Since the real world is in the Dark Hunter Organization, he usually tests the Nan Dou fusion power in the world of disaster. There are a large number of immortal dark creatures there, which can be used. After a few days of experiments, Kaxiu found that these dark creatures killed by the Nan Dou power had four layers of immortal damage characteristics, which were stacked together.

Features: spiral, decomposition, blasting, and shock.

Its lethality is undoubtedly stronger than a single Nan Dou power. However, it has not reached a perfect level at this stage. The quadruple killing characteristics did not cooperate, nor did they produce a miraculous reaction. It was simply superimposed layer by layer, savagely killing the dark creatures. This needs to be improved. Let's see what happens to more platinum stigmata.

...

Today is July 22nd, and it's been nearly a month since then.

At eight o'clock in the morning, the head of the Black Agency Corps issued an order to the Hunter Association. The vacant Shadow Hunter seat should now be contested.

There are four confirmed candidates.

Lion King Soth supported by the royal family.

Thorn Solomon supported by the parliament.

Siren Claire supported by the Dark Hunter Organization.

Black Bronze Hunter Bai Kui supported by the old hunters.

As soon as the list came out, the Hunter Association was in an uproar. They didn't expect Bai Kui to actually participate in the competition for the Shadow Hunter seat this time. In the original plan, he should have secretly accumulated strength and waited for the next competition. Anyway, he is young and has plenty of opportunities. The result was unexpected.

"Isn't this a free gift?"

"I don't understand. If that black bronze hunter Bai Kui is mentally ill, it's fine. Why are those old hunters also confused?"

"Krael the Siren, Soth the Lion King, and Solomon the Thorn are all top dark gold hunters. A black bronze hunter is inserted among them. Isn't this like a stray dog ​​mixed in with a group of fierce wolves?"

"Hey, the first stage of competing for the Shadow Hunter seat is the dangerous tasks assigned by the Hunter Association. The lowest threshold for the task is dark gold, and even the dark gold level is considered dangerous. I'm afraid that kid will be eliminated in the first stage. The Hunter Association will not pity you for your weak strength..."

In the gathering place of hunters, there are constant discussions back and forth.

Hunter Association, central hall.

Four figures are quietly waiting for the arrival of the Holy Light Hunter. As the president of the Hunter Association, only he can assign tasks in the most fair way.

In the hall, three figures looked at the person on the far right vaguely. Especially Thorn Solomon, who saw Kaxiu for the first time, showed a very obvious surprise on his usually calm and gloomy face.

Is this strong man Bai Kui? He is obviously taller than the lion king Soth! Although his aura is restrained, it is hard to tell the strength of his strength. But he is definitely not just a black bronze level, at least a dark gold level master. It seems that the group of old hunters really hide a lot of things and are quite scheming!

In addition to Solomon, Soth is also staring at Kaxiu. There is anger hidden in his eyes, and a hint of humiliation. A week ago, Soth was almost defeated by a punch in the Hunter Association.

The plan to obtain holy spring water from the resource management department was also ruined.

Coupled with the impact of the previous broken arm, it can be said to be worse.

Fortunately, the royal family finally got Soth. It paid a high price to trade with the Holy Mu Cathedral in exchange for enough holy spring water.

Soth had been drinking holy spring water to the limit for a week, and his physical energy was strengthened, climbing up a level again.

His strength has returned to its original peak state.

The recovery of strength swept away the gloom in Soth's heart. Whether it was his old rival Solomon Claire or Bai Kui who suddenly appeared.

He still had enough confidence in obtaining the title of Shadow Hunter.

Five minutes later, a slender figure walked in from the entrance of the hall. He looked only forty years old, with an elegant temperament and wearing a black suit. He had a pocket watch hanging on his chest and a monocle on his right eye.

Leiyu Dilixiati, the president of the Hunter Association.

He is also a hunter who has inherited the name of the Ten-Year Holy Light.

He has a gentle smile on his face, which makes people feel like spring breeze at first sight. This is the state of Dilixiati's daily life. Once he enters the identity of a hunter. He will be the most terrifying and bloody sword.

"Good morning, the four of you. Let me get straight to the point. The tasks of each of you have been assigned yesterday, and they are all here."

Dilixiati raised the file in his hand that was similar to a document.

There were numbers from one to four on it.

There was also a danger sign printed with a red seal on the surface of the file.

Obviously, this was not an ordinary task.

"These tasks can only be completed by you. If you find that someone else is assisting you, you will be disqualified directly. In addition, there is a time limit for the task. If you fail to complete it before the deadline, you will lose the qualification to compete..."

"In addition, if you find other special situations during the task, you can choose to report it immediately. After all, accidents can happen at any time, and some situations that are far beyond the difficulty of the task are understandable. For this reason, I will prepare another task for you."

As Dilixiati said, he distributed four files to the four people present in order. The one Kaxiu got was the No. 4 file bag.

Not sure if it was an illusion, he felt that Dilixiati's eyes stayed on him for a while longer. Kaxiu pondered for half a second and released a small amount of breath. Suddenly, Dilixiati's eyes quietly moved away.

"Okay, everyone, you can leave."

As Dilixiati's voice sounded, the four people slowly walked out of the hall.

Kaxiu returned to the hunter's house where Heb lived with an expressionless face.

As soon as he entered, a group of old guys came up eagerly.

Surrounded by the crowd, Kaxiu opened the task in the file bag.

Task: Investigate the vicious ghoul incident in the Florence Business District.

Difficulty: A
