Chapter 8 Hold Your Hand
After killing the black man with one punch, Sue was ready to kill the two machine gunners with a pistol. Although the heavy machine gun was no threat to him, Su was still worried about Medirli beside him. Unexpectedly, after the huge shock, almost all of them looked at Su with their eyes full of horror and fear, these warriors who had obviously been stained with a lot of blood, instead of taking revenge, were slowly retreating, and even the muzzle of the gun was tilted to the side, or pointed obliquely at the ground, for fear of arousing Su's suspicion and disgust.
What's going on? Su was indeed a little surprised by everyone's reaction.
Could it be that the people here will also know that gunpowder weapons are powerless against high-tier abilities? This seems unlikely. Midnight City is very prosperous, but the overall level of technology is far from that of Dragon City, and the number and level of ability are not at all comparable to that of the Dark Dragoon. For a whole half a day, Su didn't see a fourth-order ability, Jack only had a few second-order abilities, and the black strong man who had just been bombarded was a third-order strength and defense, which was also the most common and ordinary combination of abilities, without the cooperation of speed and skill, that is, the strength was strong enough to be beaten, and if you find a few first-order weapon control abilities to strafe with machine guns, you will definitely shoot easily. But this guy seems to have a good position in the Sinking Blade, which means that there are not many high-level abilities in the Sinking Blade, and he will definitely not walk on the street like Dragon City and may bump into several dragoons at any time.
The greater the gap in capabilities, the smaller the relative power of conventional or non-traditional weapons. Even if it is a terrifying weapon like an electromagnetic kinetic energy rifle, if it is only held in the hands of an ordinary person, it will not be able to threaten Su at all, not to mention the huge recoil force and heavy weight of the gun body when fired, making it impossible for anyone whose strength and defense cannot reach the third order. Even in Sue's hands, it was very difficult to deal with Crotina, if it weren't for the panorama and Sue's brain with a terrifying calculation speed, then the electromagnetic kinetic rifle wouldn't even be able to exert half of its current power.
In this era, the convenient means of communication and a large amount of information are only in the hands of a few people at the top of the food chain, among most ordinary people, the transmission and inheritance of knowledge is a very slow process, if it is not for seeing it with his own eyes or experiencing it firsthand, Su does not believe that ordinary people will have such a deep and clear fear of high-level abilities, otherwise, he would not have developed the habit of relying on killing people to establish his authority from the beginning of the wilderness.
Of course, even low-level perceptual domain abilities can only rely on common sense and observed expressions to infer other people's abilities, while high-level abilities can already judge other people's ability levels through guΓ² perception field and energy, and Su's panorama can accurately reflect other people's ability fields and specific ability levels, and for most of the widely used low-level abilities, they can even be refined to judge specific abilities.
Seeing that the originally malicious people finally understood to be afraid and retreat, Su didn't plan to kill, but this strange phenomenon in front of him made him interested in the five-member committee of the Sinking Blade. The level of science and technology in Midnight City is average, the number and level of the powerful are even worse, and the city construction, force and equipment are also a full generation different from the Dark Dragoon, but the ordinary people here are by no means ignorant. According to Jack's description, the members of the five-member committee were roughly seventh-order capable people, which was far from sufficient for the Sinking Blade, which ruled over a vast area, a large population, and possessed regional core resources such as indoor farms and nuclear power plants.
The combat concept of the Dark Dragoon has always been the supremacy of ability and the elite is king, if the Blade of Destruction and the Dark Dragoon border, then the Dragoon does not need to use generals at all, and sending some officers out is enough to sweep Midnight City. With such force and being able to stand tall, the Blade of Destruction is likely to have the strength to hide underwater, and the ruler is wise enough.
Sue and Medirli walked leisurely, observing every scene and secretly assessing the strength of the Blade of Perdition. Hours passed silently, and Sue had already walked through most of Midnight City, and as night fell, Sue and Medirli began to return.
The journey was surprisingly calm.
The Blade of Perdition didn't come to Sue for trouble because someone in the system had died. This was also somewhat unexpected by Sue. He was not afraid of the retribution of the Blade of Perdition, and in his opinion, an organization that could not restrain its subordinates and provoke foreign powerhouses at will without screening was not far from complete destruction. In the process, Sue didn't mind helping to push it up. When he was still in the wilderness, he dared to fight alone in Pendulum City to challenge Roxserland, and now that his strength has greatly improved, and he has enough technological equipment to suppress the opponent, Su does not mind fighting another war with the Blade of Perdition if necessary.
Only the capable can deal with the powerful, this is the famous saying of the Dark Dragoon, and it is also a summary of many years of experience in the war of blood and fire. It was out of belief in this famous saying, and based on a loose alliance of blood families, that the Dark Dragoons developed into the unique system they are today. When he first joined the Dark Dragoon, Su didn't quite understand its uniqueness and power, and the experience of being born and dying again and again made Su gradually understand the strength of the enemies around him, but it was only after fleeing so far away and seeing the Alloy Brotherhood on the way and the Sinking Blade on the opposite side of the vast no-man's land that Su truly realized the power of the Dark Dragoon.
But the more he discovered the strength of the Dark Dragoon, the heavier Sue's heart became. What is the potential of the Blood Council, which overrides the Dark Dragoon, and what about Bebraz and the Spider Queen, who jointly control the Blood Council? What about Persephone, who stayed in the Dark Dragoon, how is she now?
When Sue and Medirri returned to the hotel, the three servants had not yet returned. The two of them went their separate ways at ease, and Medirri continued to pose in the garden, and if she hurried, she would gain an evolution point from practicing her sword stance for a day. It doesn't seem like much, but over time, it will be an extremely terrifying effect.
Su hid in the upstairs bathroom, quietly examining the wounds on her body. Yes, there are not only bathrooms, but you can actually take a bath. In terms of the abundance of water and food alone, Midnight City is no worse than Dragon City.
Sue washed the wound with some clean water and then wrapped it again. Crotina's energy is still entangled, and it seems that Sue's wound cannot really heal without more than ten days. He stood in front of the mirror, looking at his body, still thinking about the horrible void in his chest. It was the strictest wound, and of course it was not better, and the tissues around the wound were dead gray and inexorably fibrotic. Suppressed by these fibrotic tissues, the new flesh of the wound cannot grow. Sue had already shaved the fibrotic tissue from the wound with a saber, but it didn't take long for the new tissue to fibrous again, so that the devastating effects would continue until the energy left behind by Crotina was gone.
Now Su finally feels that Crotina is not only a ruthless woman, but also an extremely troublesome woman, as long as she is injured, those who are slightly inferior in strength will only have a dead end. The only consolation is that Crotina won't be having a good time now. Su still has a vague connection with the blood that invaded Crotina's body, this connection is strong and weak, when it is weak, it is completely inaccessible, and when it is strong, it can even form a blurred image of the internal tissues and organs of Crotina's body in Su's consciousness, and at this time, Su can even give vague instructions to the invaders. For days, the invaders have been battling Crotina's immune system, and have grown stronger in the war.
Being able to survive such a long time, Crotina's resistance also shocked Sue. But Sue sensed that her resistance was about to collapse.
Su tidied up her clothes and walked downstairs. He had already 'seen' that several off-road vehicles had stopped outside the courtyard, and a dozen people had disembarked from the vehicles. At the head was a middle-aged man with half-white hair and meticulously dressed, with a short beard, also neatly trimmed. This man looks extraordinary, and among the ten entourages are a cold and glamorous female secretary, a close bodyguard with a strong body, and a subordinate who seems to be civilian. Looking at the size of this team, it can be seen that this middle-aged man is most likely a high-ranking official of the Sinking Blade, and it is very likely that he is a member of the Council of Five. Judging from the composition of the team, there should be no hostility towards the comers. In Su's perception, this man hid as many as three sixth-order spell abilities, and in this area, he was already a very rare powerful person.
The doorbell rang, and Medirri stuck her heavy sword on the ground and opened the courtyard door.
It was the middle-aged man who rang the doorbell. When the courtyard door opened, he had already seen Medirri's face clearly, and he lost his mind in an instant! But then he regained his fΓΉ, stared into Medirri's eyes, bowed slightly, and said with a smile, "I'm Victor. Siast, you can call me Victor. Beautiful Miss, is Mr. Su there? β
From his demeanor to his conversation, Victor was impeccable, and even the look in his eyes was only admiration rather than desire, and the gesture of gazing into Medirri's eyes was very appropriate.
By the time Victor's convoy turned into the neighborhood, Medirri had already come to the conclusion that the men weren't looking for trouble. So she also restrained her murderous aura, stepped aside, and made way for Su, who had just walked out of the house.
Seeing Sue, Victor immediately showed a warm smile, strode forward, squeezed Sue's hand, and said in a kind tone: "Victor. Siast, one of the members of the Five Committee of the Sunken Blade, is in charge of military and security. β
"Sue, mercenary." Sue's answer was always simple. But his heart was slightly turbulent, there were seventh-order abilities in the five-member committee, and Victor, whose highest ability stopped at the sixth order, became the supreme commander of the military, which was very interesting. Could it be that he, like Li, has a military talent that ordinary people can't match?
Victor looked at the house and garden, then smiled at Sue and said, "The environment here is good, I hope you can be satisfied." I've heard that my men and you had some minor misunderstanding in the afternoon, so I brought two bottles of fine red wine. If you don't mind inviting me in for a seat, we can taste them in the living room. Trust me, they taste great. By the way, if you have time, I'd love to discuss the possibility of cooperation with you. β
"Very happy." Su replied with a smile and made a gesture of please.
Victor immediately strode into the living room, his eagerness somewhat surprising Sue, as if he was running away from something. Sue looked back at Medirri, who immediately widened his eyes and looked very innocent. She did restrain her aura from beginning to end, no different from an ordinary girl, believing that people with perception abilities lower than the fifth order would not feel that she had any ability at all, even if Su used the panorama, she could only see her three second-order abilities, strength, agility and speed, as for the terrifying attribute of her body, she couldn't detect it at all.
If Victor seemed to be hiding from something, it could only be Medirri, but it was impossible for him to know what Medirli was capable of, was it intuition?
A man with terrible intuition?
Sue frowned, instinctively feeling that this Victor might not be easy to deal with.
Victor was clearly the kind of person who was very suitable for dealing with others, and he saw that neither Sue nor Medirli were long-winded people, so he omitted a large part of the politeness, compliments, and opening remarks, and instead bluntly stated that it was the lieutenant of the main battle unit of the Sinking Blade who died at Su's hands in the afternoon, commanding twenty first-class soldiers, and his death was a heavy loss to the Sinking Blade.
Su smiled and asked, "Then what do you mean, should I hand her over obediently?" β
Victor immediately shook his head and said, "No, that's not what I meant. In fact, he also violated our internal rules, but I don't think he has committed a crime worthy of death. But this matter can end here, which can be regarded as the sincerity of our cooperation. β
"So, how are you going to work together?" Sue asked.
Victor beckoned, and the female secretary standing behind him immediately took out a brain of wisdom, and after pressing the shape, several lasers formed a holographic topographic map in the air. Midnight City is on one side of the topographic map, and all the important cities and factions around it are marked. The topographic map also shows more than a dozen areas in striking red, with small towns, organizational markers, and even an old-time shelter! These areas are marked accordingly, indicating the type of force and the danger of the organization in the area, and the details are omitted.
Victor pointed to the patches of red ** domains, looked at Su with blazing eyes, and said, "These are our enemies. We hope that Mr. Su can uproot these enemies for us, and you can choose among them. The Blade of Perdition will provide you with all the necessary support, including supplies, energy, and medical care. If necessary, our fighters can also cooperate with your actions, which, of course, requires my approval. As for your remuneration...... For every three areas, you can choose any one of them, and that's your territory! β
Su's heart moved, and his eyes immediately fell on the refuge base.
