Chapter 200: Rules of the Midnight Tavern
"You actually believe what a killer says?"
With this IQ, he can get a seat on the board of directors. It can only be said that the dividends in chaotic times are too great.
When society stabilizes in the future and the classes gradually solidify, the upper class will slowly become the world of smart people.
Ren Jun replied tremblingly: "Xue Lin has always been very tough, and he was no exception today, so I didn't doubt it. He clearly said... that he was not afraid of you."
"Yeah, I can see that."
In the seven mansions that Su Xia had visited before, there were many traps and hidden weapons, all of which were cold weapons.
It seems that Xue Lin guessed his ability wrongly and associated him with another psychic talent called "Mechanical Taboo".
He wanted to hunt Su Xia, but this misjudgment was quite fatal.
Fortunately, he was cautious enough and hid in the dark.
"Where is Xue Lin's safe house?"
"I don't know either."
Ren Jun shook his head in panic. As soon as he spoke, he felt the cold scimitar against his neck again.
His face turned pale, and he hurriedly explained: "I really don't know. Xue Lin never shared this information with us. I only know what he looks like on the surface, but I have no idea what he is like in secret."
"Where does he like to go?"
"usually……"
Ren Jun swallowed, trying to calm himself down and think carefully.
If he didn't give a satisfactory answer, the killer might really chop his neck with a knife, but as long as he cooperated seriously, he might be able to save his life like the fisherman.
He wiped the cold sweat from his face and answered seriously: "He spends most of his time walking around those houses. Apart from that, he goes to the company's headquarters building. Sometimes he also goes to our planting base and R&D center."
"No more?"
“There are… only these few places.”
"Very good, thank you for your cooperation."
"Nothing, it's my duty." Ren Jun forced a smile with difficulty, "If you need anything else, you can contact me at any time."
"Well, I do need some."
Su Xia put away the knife and it seemed that she had no intention of killing Ren Jun.
This made Ren Jun feel relieved.
It's good to be useful. Even if you have one foot in the grave, you can slowly pull it back.
"Wait here." Su Xia ordered, "The fisherman will arrive tomorrow morning. Go pick him up then and do what he says."
"Yes, yes, I will do it."
Ren Jun didn't know what was going on and there was nothing he could do but nod.
"Do you want me to prepare anything?"
He asked this, but no answer came from the darkness ahead.
After a few seconds, the lights in the entire manor suddenly lit up, and the lights in this room also lit up, which seemed a little dazzling.
There was nothing in front of him, as if everything was just an illusion and the killer had never been there.
But Ren Jun knew that it was not an illusion.
"Huh...finally left."
His whole body relaxed and he collapsed to the ground.
A few minutes later, the fainted servants, bodyguards, etc. gradually woke up. They were all confused and had no idea what had happened.
After Su Xia left the manor, she immediately rushed to the next position as an executive of the sugar water company.
He used the same means and the same infiltration method to continue to interrogate the executive and collect useful information.
But the executive also had no idea where Xue Lin might be hiding.
All he knew were the locations of company buildings, R&D centers, and breeding bases, but these places were too obvious and not suitable for hiding.
He was not as lucky as Ren Jun. After the interrogation, he was beheaded by Su Xia with a knife.
“Crack!”
The bloody head rolled down, and the splashing blood dyed the floor a pure natural red.
At this moment, a task message suddenly popped up in front of Su Xia.
[Mission Hint 2: For the killer, there is only one safe place in the entire city]
Su Xia also thought of it.
Xue Lin is also a registered killer at the Zero Point Tavern. To him, only inside the tavern is safe.
All the sense of security comes from the rule of the Zero Point Tavern -
[No member is allowed to fight inside the tavern]
This is a strict rule that even store managers in various locations dare not violate.
The Zero Point Tavern is a very free place, with people coming and going as they please, and all kinds of registered members. Every member will be informed of this rule when they first join the tavern.
When Su Xia registered his identity, it was Yi Yi who told him this in person.
Once, a very powerful member violated this rule and killed an enemy in a tavern. Later, he was put on the kill list of taverns across the continent, and the bounty soared from zero to 50 million.
Countless killers swarmed in, chasing after the member with the scent of money, and within half a month, someone got his head.
No one can survive the endless pursuit throughout the tavern.
"It looks like there's a little trouble."
Su Xia didn't care about this rule because he was not from this world anyway.
But once the Midnight Tavern finds out that he was the one who did it, he will basically say goodbye to this organization, and will no longer be able to enjoy the benefits of the underground safe house.
He did not go directly to the Zero Point Tavern branch in Yuling City, but planned to get rid of more than a dozen senior executives of the other sugar water company first.
Before leaving, he gave an injection to every servant and bodyguard in the manor to ensure that they could sleep well until tonight.
While giving acupuncture, Su Xia did not forget to check the panel descriptions of these people.
“There are actually two serious criminals.”
Without even a second thought, he raised his knife and chopped the two guys to death.
This is a chaotic world, an age without order. We cannot expect human laws to judge these people.
After doing all this, Su Xia did not forget to do a simple search and took away all the weapons and valuables.
"These guns are actually genuine. The bodyguards hired by rich people are different."
Su Xia sighed, left the manor and headed for the next destination.
Fortunately, these rich people lived nearby, so he didn't need to spend too much time.
Next, using the same method, he tortured and killed the remaining dozen people one after another. Although he didn't get much useful information, he gained a lot of spoils.
A large amount of weapons, money, antiques, works of art, etc., some of which are priceless.
Su Xia once again felt how profitable murder and arson were.
“Crack!”
He chopped off the last man's head and wiped the blood on the curtain.
The sky outside the window was already completely bright. It was eight o'clock in the morning, but the thick fog in the city had not yet dispersed. The whole world was white and you couldn't see your hand in front of you.
Su Xia didn't stay too long and went straight to the next location.
Through the previous interrogation of these people, he learned that Xue Lin had gathered a group of killers and was about to go to Coral City to hunt him and the fisherman.
If the killers were not dealt with, the fishermen might run into them on their way.
The killers met at a motel near the outskirts of the city.
At this point, most of the killers have already arrived.
"Why do we have to meet here?" One of the killers said impatiently, "It's too troublesome to act together. I think we should act separately."
"Split up?"
"I think it's a good idea. Waiting here is a waste of time. I have a mission tomorrow."
"Xue Lin said that man is very strong and has a rare talent." Another killer said, "Firearms are useless near him. We can only use cold weapons to get rid of him. If we act together, we will have a better chance."
"Xue Lin is just a businessman now. How long has it been since he performed a difficult task? He just completes a few small tasks every month to satisfy the assessment system."
I basically know this group of killers, and their strengths vary.
Those who like to act alone are the stronger ones, as they believe the weaker ones will hold them back.
"It's already 8:15, why are there still two of them not here?"
"Wait a little longer. If he doesn't come, contact Xue Lin."
They were all outside the motel, some standing, some sitting, and some leaning against the street lights smoking.
If you don’t know them, you might think they are a group of street urchins.
But Xue Lin spent a lot of money this time. Seven of them were third-level psychic creatures with strong strength. They were veteran killers rated by the tavern system.
"They are two rookies, but their psychic talents are useful, so Xue Lie called them up."
“What a hassle!”
One of the powerful third-level creatures glanced at his watch and became increasingly impatient.
The person next to him advised: "Be patient. Xue Lie said that the man was able to fight his way out of the blockade of hundreds of people. He is quite powerful. We need to rely on teamwork this time."
"Heh... the complex terrain of the slums, especially at night, if it were me, I would still be able to fight my way out!"
"That's right!" said another powerful level 3 creature, "I can also fight my way out. I think it's better for us to split up."
As soon as the man finished speaking, a cold light suddenly flashed in the thick fog ahead.
His heart trembled, and before he could activate the psychic shield, he felt a chill on his neck.
“Crack!”
A cold light flashed, and his head was separated from his body .
Su Xia fulfilled his wish to act separately.
“Pah…”
The bloody head fell to the ground, rolling around for a few times.
The other killers around were horrified and reacted in unison. Some activated psychic shields, while others immediately hid behind cover.
"Is he coming for us? Or is he his own enemy? "
After working in this business for a long time, you will naturally have a lot of enemies.
Of course, they all hoped that the other party was only targeting the dead person.
" Where ? Is he gone?"
The surrounding area was filled with rolling fog and howling cold winds, full of unknowns and dangers, as if some strange monster was walking in the thick fog.
After a few seconds, the cold light flashed again, and two more heads fell to the ground.
The smell of blood around the hotel suddenly became stronger.
"It's coming for us!"
"Could it be that guy from Coral City?"
"What weapon was that thing that flashed by? A flying knife?"
Doubts flashed through everyone's mind.
They are now in a passive position, having been ambushed, and don't even know who their opponent is.
"Wait... Coral City, powerful strength, mysterious weapons, and a love of chopping off people... Damn, it's the Masked Man!"
