Chapter 145: Breakthrough

Although the Skeleton Gang is not a big gang, the person who can grow the gang to this extent in Brut City will certainly not be stupid.

When everyone was easily knocked down, they clearly understood the difference in strength, and immediately classified the person wearing the pale clown mask as a dangerous person of the same level as the "Death Bringer".

In the face of this kind of character, even if the entire gang goes together, it will only increase the casualties.

So they surrendered very decisively.

The leader said directly: "Please let us go, whatever you want, we will try our best to meet it!" ”

But even so, Su Xian was not too gullible.

He clapped his hands to attract attention, unleashing mental fluctuations that made them subconsciously more obedient, and then asked in a low voice, "Tell me everything about the Deathbringer." ”

……

Deathbringer.

The appearance of this person was at the end of July.

But before that, the Skeletons had been in contact with the organization behind the "Grim Reaper", but the previous contact was another fat man who was always smiling.

The fat man had been trading with the Skeletons on a personal basis.

It started as a simple purchase transaction, where coins were used to buy fishmeal.

Because the sale of fishmeal was originally an income for the Skull Gang, everything was going on in a very ordinary way.

It wasn't until later, when the fat man's purchases became more and more, that the Skull Gang paid attention to it, and then they inquired openly and secretly about the organization behind the fat man.

But before they could investigate, the man who called himself the "Messenger of Death" appeared.

The "Messenger of Death" replaces the fat man and continues to trade with the Skeleton Gang.

The Skeleton Gang initially thought his name and attire were just grandstanding, and it wasn't until the Emissary showed his power in front of them that they realized what they had touched.

Some people are afraid, some are hungry for strength, and some are true believers in death.

In short, for various reasons, the Skeletons began to act in accordance with the demands of the "Grim Reaper".

But their main action is to buy large quantities of "forked seabream" to produce fishmeal.

The Skeleton Gang's funds and deterrence were insufficient, so the "Grim Reaper" provided them with a lot of money, solved many people who spied on the gang's resources, and even provided some rare materials in turn.

The five people present were all trying to curry favor with the messenger and seek strength.

On the day that Mars and Detective Corbe's followers Yoni, Yoni only reported the progress to the messenger as usual, and made a few remarks when he invited credit, but he didn't expect to receive the messenger's gift and have the power to transform into a skeleton.

……

Su Xian was a little surprised: "According to what you said, you have been working together for so long, but you don't even know the details of the other party?" That's how you guys do gangsters? ”

The leader of the Skull Gang was visibly embarrassed and said, "But he is a messenger of death...... The Grim Reaper is a ...... that can manipulate death."

All right.

It's a good reason.

Su Xian made up for another mental fluctuation and continued to ask, "So, when will he come to check on you...... Well, fishmeal? ”

Leader: "Originally, the transactions between us were timed and quantitative, but since the messenger came, it has become a one-sided supply, and there is no clear time agreement. However, according to the previous rules, he should have come to accept it in the next few days, but unexpectedly it never appeared. ”

Is it because of an injury?

Su Xian thought for a while and asked, "You didn't take the initiative to contact him?" ”

All five shook their heads stiffly.

If it weren't for the fact that there was indeed an inducement to their spirits, Su Xian would definitely not believe such words.

But now it seems that the transcendents pretending to be gods and ghosts do have a great intimidating effect on those who have not experienced the nine-year compulsory education.

All five of them had gained their power from the "Death Messenger", and they were barely considered transcendent, and the "Spirit Cleansing Ring" did not last long for their inducing effect.

Once they are out of sight, then betrayal ensues.

They will even use this to exonerate the fishmeal from being burned.

Therefore, the strategy of cooperating with them and setting a trap and waiting for the "Deathbringer" to take the bait himself is not feasible.

That's too dangerous.

In other words, the five men of the Skull Gang are no longer useful.

Su Xian's gaze couldn't help but sharpen.

Murder and arson of gold belts, repair bridges and repair roads without corpses.

These people have sinned heinantly and it is not a pity to die.

If you keep them, you will leak information and reveal your whereabouts.

……

But just as his murderous intent was growing, Yoni, one of the five, suddenly let out a dry howl, grabbed his neck, lowered his head and retched.

He looked very painful, his shriveled flesh wrinkled up piece by piece, and the black qi in his body overflowed uncontrollably.

This sudden vision caused everyone else to look sideways.

The leader hastily asked, "Yoni, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Me." Yoni's eyes were red, his eyes were protruding, and he said in pain, "I don't know, it's hot, it's really hot!" ”

Then his skin couldn't help but burn, bulging out bubbles, and even blood-colored steam came out of his body.

It was the only blood on his body that was evaporating!

"Whoa!"

Yoni jerked to his feet, but as if he had exhausted the last of his strength, he trembled and staggered, and he vomited hot stuff out of his throat.

It was like cooked entrails, steaming hot.

Su Xian's heart was slightly cold, and he couldn't help frowning away, he still couldn't get used to this kind of scene.

"Gross!"

Yoni finally retched and spat out the tubes.

At this moment, he can no longer stand firmly, his skin is steamed and rotten, and pieces fall off!

"Save ...... Help me......"

As if sensing the loss of life, Yoni reached out to his uncle in despair.

But everyone stepped back with panic on their faces.

No one can understand why this phenomenon is happening, and they don't have time to think about it.

The first thing that comes to their mind is whether this will happen to them.

Seeing Yoni's skin fall off piece by piece, and the white bones under the skin were exposed, the leader of the group, Bede, suddenly panicked, "It's death!" It must be the punishment of the Grim Reaper, because we betrayed him and divulged his secrets! ”

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly felt a heat all over his body, like a stream of heat about to come out of his throat, but it blocked his throat and prevented him from breathing.

He couldn't help but choke at his throat and look down and retch, just like Yoni.

The other three didn't think about it that much, but at this moment, they saw that Bed's body also had the same phenomenon as Yoni, and they immediately panicked.

But panic won't solve the problem.

All of Yoni's skin was peeled off, all his internal organs were spit out, and only one white bone remained, but the white bone was still moving!

"Don't, I don't want to be like that!"

One of the team leaders suddenly howled, he turned his head wildly, trying to find life, suddenly noticed Su Xian who was retreating, and hurriedly asked, "Mr. Clown, save ......"

Before the word "I" could be uttered, hot air was already coming out of his mouth.

The other two did not dare to call for help.

They also couldn't call for help.

The same nightmare has befallen them.

……

Su Xian's eyes narrowed slightly, and his gaze swept over the dark places in this room.

He doesn't think it's a natural phenomenon, maybe ...... The messenger of death has come?

At the blink of a thought, the Explorer's Eye pierced through the wall and scanned the surroundings.

But a wisp of black wind happened to sweep through his vision, which made him suddenly alert.

"Sure enough!"

It is no coincidence that the arrival of the "Messenger of Death" is a connection between him and the five people who have been given power.

To put it simply, the life and death of those five people have been controlled by him, and he can even feel their mood swings from a distance.

It was precisely because he sensed that their mood had changed too drastically tonight that the "Messenger of Death" came quickly.

The vice-leader Bed was not entirely wrong in his guesses, they were indeed "punished", but this punishment did not come from the "Grim Reaper".

……

Unexpectedly, when the "Death Messenger" entered the room, he did not attack Su Xian, but showed his figure opposite him, looking quite calm.

"Pale clown?"

A low voice came out of his mouth.

Su Xian shrugged his shoulders, knowing that the other party had not seen through his true body: "The messenger of death? ”

"Nope." The Grim Reaper glanced at the few men who had been reduced to bones and whispered, "That's just a false name for the ignorant, you can call me a skeleton." ”

"Skeletons?"

Su Xian pondered for a moment, and suddenly said, "Your role?" ”

The skeleton couldn't help but be silent for a long time, and when it spoke again, it had already changed to a different tone: "You're smart. ”

Both of them are wearing masks, and they can't see each other's expressions, and can only judge each other's emotions by their tone.

But in reality, language is often the best tool to use when it comes to deceiving people.

Of course, it was impossible for Su Xian to be in a hurry to expose his malice towards the "clown" at this time, and he continued to say in a sharp voice: "Is it convenient to reveal a little bit of information about your organization to me?" ”

The skeleton chuckled, "I didn't expect to meet you at this time. Our masquerade at sea was ruined by you, right? ”

Su Xian: "No, I just happened to be there." As you may know, our ship has encountered a sea monster. ”

The skeleton looked at his hand, "I know the ring on your hand, it's Kenny Conrad's, right?" ”

Su Xian: "Kenny Conrad? You're talking about the captain of that ship, right? I picked it up from his corpse, and he was torn in half by a sea monster, and it was terrible. ”

"Really?" The skeleton was noncommittal, "You killed the platypus?" ”

Su Xian was suddenly surprised: "What kind of monster is that?" A beast with a duck's beak? ”

"That's a person, he's wearing a duck mask, he should be easily recognizable," the skeleton said. ”

Su Xian thought for a while, still full of doubts: "There are a lot of people wearing duck masks on the boat, maybe I've seen them?" ”

The skeleton was silent again.

He didn't seem used to thinking.

Su Xian gradually made a judgment, it seems that the masquerade does not know as much about what happened on the ship as he imagined.

This is obviously good news.

……

And when the two tested each other, the five people of the Skeleton Gang had all turned into bones, but they did not fall apart, as if they had become real skeletons.

The skeleton stretched out his hand and pointed, and the five skeletons were lined up in a neat row.

Su Xian couldn't help but look sideways, and at the same time realized that the ability of this "skeleton" was very versatile - if this kind of skeleton man could be mass-produced, he would be able to easily obtain unpaid labor and a terrifying army of skeleton soldiers.

Seeing his reaction, the skeleton said, "How's it going?" Can I, a skeleton, still be able to see it? ”

Su Xian shrugged: "They don't seem to have much intelligence? ”

"But they're loyal, fearless, and don't have souls that are easy to dominate!" ”

Su Xian changed the subject: "I didn't expect that you would be the mastermind behind this Skull Gang, can you tell me the name of your organization?" ”

This time the skeleton finally replied, "Of course, it's not something to hide. And soon, the whole city of Brut will know our name, we are masquerade, and the whole world will be our stage. ”

Su Xian praised: "Masquerade? What an artistic name. ”

The skeleton smiled, "It's a good idea, it seems that you have a good impression of our organization?" ”

Su Xian said: "I can't talk about impressions, after all, I don't know anything about you. ”

The skeleton sent out an invitation: "In that case, then join us!" Just join us, and you will naturally know our greatness. ”

……

Su Xian was surprised, he really didn't expect this skeleton to invite him to join the club.

Is this sincere or false?

He was puzzled: "Your organization invites people to join, are they all so casual?" ”

The skeleton said, "As long as you join our organization, you will naturally know everything. ”

Su Xian shook his head: "How do you think that I will join an organization that I don't know anything about?" ”

But the skeleton said, "The world is changing, and people like you and me are riding on the waves of change, but after the big waves rise to the highest point, they will definitely start to fall, and finally drown in the sea." Only by learning to fly can you escape the sea. And our masquerade has found wings. Do you understand? ”

Su Xian shook his head again: "I don't understand." ”

“……”

The skeleton was silent for a long time, and then said abruptly, "If you want to live, join us!" ”

"Isn't that much simpler." Su Xian laughed, "Then what if I don't join you?" ”

The skeleton suddenly shouted, "Only death!" ”

Before the words fell, he seemed to have decided that Su Xian would not join, so he reached out and grabbed his robe, wanting to turn into a black wind.

After that, whether it was attacking or retreating, it was all under his control.

And the five skeletons also pounced out at the same time, they had no skin and flesh, and their bodies were leaking, but they became extremely light and agile, and their speed was extremely fast.

In the blink of an eye, the five skeleton men had already rushed to Su Xian's face, and the five skeleton claws were grabbed at high speed, clean and neat!

"The skeleton man feinted from the front, and I turned into a black wind to attack from behind!"

The easiest way to deal with the Transcendent is to assassinate them before they use their extraordinary powers!

Since the skeleton died once, the whole way of acting has become completely opposite to before, except for the ferocity that has not diminished at all.

But his vision changed, but he suddenly found that his body was far behind his thinking, and at the moment when he should have been around, he pounced head-on between the five skeletons, and his body did not turn into a black wind, but became extremely heavy!

In a panic, he smashed the floor with one foot, and found that his strength had skyrocketed out of thin air, and even his head had risen a lot, almost reaching the ceiling!

Heavy body, skyrocketing strength.

The powerful feeling that welled up from the bottom of his heart made him let out an uncontrollable roar.

"Did I break through on the verge of battle?"

An indescribable sense of joy welled up in my heart.
