Odd Containment Specialist.

Chapter 513 No Injuries (5K)

Su Yue stared at the head that fell to the ground, her expression still unable to believe it.

Killed?
It seemed that she had killed him. She had chopped off the man's head. According to the rules of the underworld, the head seemed to have the highest control over a body and was also the default residence of consciousness.

Cutting off the head is equivalent to severing the connection between Huang Changnian and the Crow Owl's body.

Although she saw that Huang Changnian's head was still blinking with a resentful and angry expression, he was no longer a threat.

Su Yue still felt a lingering fear when thinking about the extremely horrible pain she just felt, but fortunately she would not really die in the underworld. The pain of her boiling blood should subside a little as the temperature cooled down.

"Brother Xia Shou! Brother Xia Shou, are you okay?"

Su Yue spread her legs and ran towards Xia Shou who was lying on the ground. Compared with the others, Xia Shou, who had suffered two rounds of blood boiling injuries, was much more seriously injured.

Just then, a young voice came from the thick fog in the distance.

"Hey, Xiao Huang, you are in such a mess, aren't you?"

Su Yue's expression changed immediately, and he quickly picked up the Tongziqie and pointed it in the direction where the sound came from.

Then, a young man came from the other side of the fog. He didn't look strange. He was wearing a funeral home uniform. He was clean and handsome. If he were in high school, he would be the most handsome guy on campus.

Su Yue held the knife and thought and analyzed in an orderly manner.

The current situation is very unfavorable to her.

Originally, this situation was actually in her favor, because her special ability could only take effect in a one-on-one fight.

But the bad thing is that it is difficult to die in the underworld, so even if her special ability is successfully activated, it cannot be repeated infinitely. If she is really defeated, she will become half-dead, one step away from complete death.

And that can't be reversed.

But, we have to fight.

Su Yue waited quietly for the other party to approach, guessing his ability in her heart.

She was strong in hand-to-hand combat, but she still couldn't handle an instant kill like the one just now.

However, as the distance got closer, this newly appeared member of the funeral home showed no intention of launching an attack. Instead, he talked to himself and walked towards Huang Changnian behind them.

"Didn't I warn you? Don't think you can go crazy just because you crow a few times. What matters in a battle is your overall strength. It's like a bucket. No matter how long your strengths are, you still have to take your weaknesses into consideration. Look, now your head is rolling on the floor."

Su Yue concentrated her mind to the limit, but found that the other party's eyes never fell on her. From the very beginning, he passed her and stared at Huang Changnian on the ground behind him, as if he didn't take her seriously at all.

The distance is too close, we must take action!
Su Yue took a step forward, displaying Minamoto no Raikou's close-combat footwork, and instantly came right in front of the young man. The afterimage of the boy's knife was like a deformed whip, slashing diagonally at the enemy's chest.

Such a heavy and huge sword can cut anyone with flesh and blood in half.

The body in front of him was cut into two large pieces by the unmatched sharp blade of Tong Ziqie. Su Yue's pupils contracted and he looked at the body that was torn apart in front of him in disbelief.

It wasn't the young man just now. The person she cut open was the one from the clock tower!

"How stupid! Let me help you put your head back on."

The young man's voice suddenly sounded behind him. Su Yue turned her head sharply and found that the other party was walking out from the ruins next to her. He had picked up Huang Changnian's head and was walking towards the body of the Crow Owl Envoy!

"stop."

Su Yue heard a hoarse voice coming from her feet.

Her body shook violently and she immediately turned her head to look to the side.

Xia Shou, who was steaming all over, slowly stood up from the ground like a zombie.

Hearing Xia Shou's voice, the young man stopped and looked at Xia Shou with interest.

"The witch's trump card... You are the first person I have seen who can stand up so quickly after being hit by [Owl Cry Blood Boiling]."

At this point, the young man paused and glanced at Su Yue: "As for her, she used some tricks to avoid the attack."

Xia Shou did not respond.

He slowly stood up and tore off the animal skin clothes with scaly-foot snail shells sewn on them, revealing his bare upper body.

"call--"

As Xia Shou took a deep breath, all the muscles in his body seemed to be exerting force, slowly contracting and relaxing.

Then the swollen body slowly became lean, and the boiling and swollen blood in the body was squeezed out by the muscle strength, flowing out quickly from the eye sockets and nostrils.

"Oh, are we going to get serious?" The young man's eyes lit up.

"Be careful of this guy, he should be Ke Zitong from the funeral home."

Pedros walked out from behind a broken pillar in the ruins, neatly dressed and without any blood stains, as if he had not been on the battlefield at all and had not been attacked.

"LV4 Transcendent, nickname..."

"I know, no need to say more." Xia Shou interrupted casually.

Xia Shou raised his hand and lifted his blood-soaked hair to the top of his head, exposing his forehead. He looked up at Ke Zitong with an indifferent and calm look, almost without any emotion, as if he had already gotten used to the severe pain of boiling blood.

"Ke Zitong, nicknamed the Insane, is one of the candidates for the next dean." Xia Shou added himself.

Huangfu Zuoren in the Mourning Stick has just chattered about the information about the powerful enemy in front of him. The special ability of this Ke Zitong is that when attacked, he can exchange the spatial position of himself with any living creature within the range of the special ability.

One of the most famous and powerful fighters of the Funeral Home, and the youngest candidate for the Funeral Home's director in modern times. He has committed crimes many times around the world and has been hunted down by the Control Bureau. However, due to the powerful versatility of his supernatural powers, he has never been caught by the Control Bureau.

Although there are reasons why the Control Bureau is unwilling to involve ordinary people, Ke Zitong's own strength is unquestionable.

What frightened him the most was that he had developed a power that was originally completely "rubbish" to the extreme, and personally created the reputation of being the Injured Man.

If we compare them, Ke Zitong's position in the funeral home is the same as Shang Liang's position in the Control Bureau. Among the uncontaminated transcendents, he is the strongest one.

Even now, Huangfu Zuoren was still describing the details about Ke Zitong's supernatural powers in the mourning stick, his tone was flustered, which made Xia Shou feel annoyed.

"Pedros, you've found a crooked ally. If he hadn't made such a big fuss, it might have taken us some time to find you." Ke Zitong looked at Pedros with a smile.

Pedros looked at Xia Shou and said calmly: "At least we are not dead yet."

"You have a good attitude, but this is not the Clock Tower, nor is it the territory of the Control Bureau."

As Ke Zitong spoke, he held Huang Changnian's head in his hands and tossed him back and forth between his left and right hands like a basketball.

He could have put Huang Changnian's head on the body of the Crow Owl Envoy at any time, but he didn't do it.

It was as if he had absolute confidence in his own strength and didn't care at all whether Huang Changnian had the fighting power or not. It seemed as if he could easily defeat the two strong men in front of him by himself.

"Ugh... Damn it! It hurts so much!" No. 102 gritted his teeth and slowly sat up.

In the ruins of the ancient houses on both sides of the street, some people with outstanding willpower finally recovered from the extreme pain of boiling blood and slowly regained the ability to think.

They looked at the scene in front of them: Pedros, Xia Shou, and Ke Zitong were standing in a triangle.

One is the second hand of the clock tower, one is the uninjured person in the funeral home, and the other is the witch's trump card.

Ordinary extraordinary people probably have no chance to see such a scene, and everyone was at a loss for a moment.

Xia Shou stared at Ke Zitong for a while, then looked at the transport ghost car that had been broken down, and said to himself: "Very good, the most likely future has changed."

After saying that, Xia Shou walked to the ghost car, casually took out a mortal head that was in a trance due to pain, picked up the mourning stick and knocked it gently, and said to Ke Zitong:

"You don't think that I stopped this car to save them, do you?"

Ke Zitong's expression froze for a moment, then he laughed awkwardly: "I'm curious what else the Control Bureau can do if it doesn't save people?"

Xia Shou walked to the ghost car, sat on the human torso that made up the ghost car, and said casually: "Before the fight, let's have a good chat."

No. 102, who was in a daze, was so angry that he almost fainted when he heard this. He shouted in a hoarse voice: "You idiot! Do you think he is the only one in the funeral home here?"

Tracy, who was also among the first group to wake up, expressed her agreement with the position of the people in the Control Bureau for the first time.

As Pedros's deputy, Tracy was the only one who understood the significance of this operation, and she now hated the idiot.

If it weren't for this idiot rushing out and forcibly stopping this ghost car, they might not have been discovered at all, and would not have been wiped out like they are now.

Return the witch's trump card? What a bullshit trump card!
She had never seen such a brainless madman who would rush out without knowing the consequences when the enemy's combat power was so different from hers.

That's not bravery at all, that's stupidity!

It can't even be called stupid. Stupid is used to describe people's inadequate thinking ability, and this witch's trump card is complete madness!
What on earth is he trying to do?
save people?

Save these thousands of heads?
Escape with a truckload of heads? What a pipe dream!

If he wasn't saving people, then what was his purpose? This behavior is incomprehensible from any perspective. Only people with self-destructive tendencies would have a slight chance of doing such a thing.

"You have a bad boss." Tracy said to No. 102 with gritted teeth.

Number 102 glared at Tracy fiercely, frowned, and said to himself, "Is it the same as that time?"

She couldn't understand Xia Shou's behavior.

But she thought of Moonburn Village.

In her mind, the memory of Yuezhuo Village was incomplete, just like Hei Wuchang. Such a coincidence seemed to be enough to explain something.

Maybe... Xia Shou has thought everything through, better than anyone else here.

They don't understand Xia Shou, but Xia Shou may not need their understanding at all.

Although 102 knew that her idea was outrageous, she vaguely had this feeling.

"Forget it, let him be." No. 102 sighed as if he was giving up.

Xia Shou sat on the ghost car and looked at Ke Zitong provocatively: "I'm asking you, do you want to chat for a while?"

Ke Zitong slowly put away his smile and his expression finally became serious.

He nodded seriously, as if he finally began to take the other person seriously: "Interesting, you are really an interesting person, let's chat.

Since you said you wanted to talk, what should we talk about? "

"Did you leave the shield by the Naihe Bridge there on purpose?"

“What was I thinking we were going to talk about?

Yes, we kept it, but we didn't forge it. The shield is real and has been there since a long time ago, we just didn't move it.

Because we also want someone to find that person. The person on the shield has turned into a ghost king, a type that cannot communicate. Whoever goes will die.

It would be great if someone could really get Dorian Gray's Notebook from there, and our people are eagerly waiting for it.

After all, it is Dorian Gray's notebook."

After saying this, Ke Zitong paused and smiled briefly:
"In fact, if you hadn't stopped this car, I would have been waiting for you over there. If you're willing to go now, I can still let you go.

From the very beginning, once you entered this underworld, you had no choice. Our people have been investigating the underworld for so many years, and we don't do it for nothing.

Okay, I answered your question, now it’s my turn to ask, have you really reached the top of the Lighthouse of Fear? Or is there no top at all? "

"Yes." Xia Shou replied.

"What's on the top of the tower? Can you tell me? I'm just curious."

"How can I put it... If I have to say something, I guess I'm in love." Xia Shou answered perfunctorily.

Ke Zitong frowned, feeling that he had been fooled, but when he saw Xia Shou's expression, he suddenly felt that maybe this was really the case.

Although he wanted to know who Love-Brain was, he lost interest.

He cared about the tower only because he had tried it once before and got scared and fell down after walking half a floor.

This result is worse than that of ordinary people.

He didn't understand because he had never been a coward. No one had ever told him that he was a coward as long as he could remember.

However, he still remembers how terrible what he saw in that tower was.

"Do you have anything to ask?" Ke Zitong seemed particularly generous.

Xia Shou thought for a moment and asked, "Do you know what you will become if the current plan is carried out?"

The reason he asked this question was because he had just seen the hallucination of the Nameless Man and then looked at the ghost car with the [Withered Eyes of the Story Centipede].

He saw this monster and the most likely appearance of those thousands of people ten years later.

This is also the reason why he took action.

"What will become of us? The headmaster may become a named person, or he may be finished. Who knows.

Signing a name is against the will of heaven, and it is normal to die halfway. I only do things based on my own personal interests and ideals.

You are from the Control Bureau, you can't really regard saving the world and maintaining human society as your life ideal, right?"

After Ke Zitong finished speaking, he sighed heavily and shook his head in disappointment: "I thought you wanted to talk about something, but the more you talked, the less interesting it became. Finally, I have a question for you, why did you suddenly come to chat with me at this time?"

"Let me ask you one more question. Will you have reinforcements coming later?" Xia Shou asked seriously.

Ke Zitong was stunned, as if he suddenly figured it out, and his eyes lit up.

"Could it be! Oh, I understand! So that's how it is! It's not just you who came into the underworld, there are people from other control bureaus who came in secretly too, right?
You stopped the ghost car and used yourself as bait to lure the tiger away from the mountain!"

Xia Shou: "..."

No. 102 was stunned. Su Yue, who had been tense all the time, was also stunned for a moment and looked at Xia Shou in shock.

Even Pedros, the clock tower, and Gu Liang and Shen Fei, who had recently woken up, stared at Xia Shou with shocked eyes.

"Fuck! You're using us as bait!" One of the people who were keeping time cursed angrily while vomiting blood.

No. 102 smiled, and the confusion in his eyes disappeared: "As expected of you! You hid it really well. This is a secret that the minister told you alone!"

As the closer, No. 102 had no complaints about being used as bait. She was used to it because she had been a beneficiary.

This is the style of the Control Bureau. It has never deceived anyone. It clearly told all its employees that in order to minimize the overall casualties, it might use some people.

Some people will be harmed by this, but the victims may have survived many times because of this cruel rule.

So...nothing to complain about.

Ke Zitong smiled and clapped for Xia Shou:
"I figured it out! So that's how it is. It seems you really are an idealistic fool.

But...are you overestimating yourself? Why do you think reinforcements will come?
Just because you are the conqueror of the Beacon of Terror and the survivor of the House of Blood Demon, the Funeral Home will be afraid of you?

Stop being funny.

There will be no reinforcements coming.

From the beginning, it was just me.

Everyone in the hospital thinks that I am enough.

Pedros is no longer the same as before. As for you... I have killed too many geniuses like you who have not experienced the baptism of time.

The Holy Lady of Spirit Lake, the One Who Donates Jade Dragon's Marrow, the Scarlet Wings, they used to be very famous, but after I killed them, no one mentioned these nicknames anymore.

Others don't call me 'the one who killed the Holy Lady of Linghu', they all call me the Unharmed One.

...It's really pitiful that there are always people like you who take the nicknames given to you by mediocre people seriously. "

Ke Zitong paused, put away his smile, and said solemnly: "Genius is short-lived, and the strong are washed away by the waves..."

When Ke Zitong said this, it seemed as if he was speaking to Xia Shou, but also as if he was speaking to himself.

Xia Shou exhaled softly, and under the gaze of everyone, he left the ghost car and jumped to the ground to stand firmly again.

"Anyway, no one's coming, right?"

Xia Shou raised his head and slowly moved the muscles in his neck, while trying not to turn his head too much.

Then, he looked at Ke Zitong again and said coldly, "You are all wrong. We are the only team coming from the Control Bureau."

No. 102 frowned: "Ah?"

The others also had the same stunned expression and made the same sound.

Even Ke Zitong was stunned.

There were no other troops coming in from the Control Bureau, so what was he chatting about just now?
Ke Zitong looked at Xia Shou in disbelief.

Xia Shou slowly raised his head, his eyes began to become sharp, as if he was about to become serious.

"It's a pity that I reached the pinnacle."
