Li Xia hummed in agreement and put the communicator down.

But his face was solemn. The three little ones knew something had happened again, so they quickly sat up straight and waited for their leader to speak.

After a long while, Li Xia shook his head and gave a cold laugh: "Case closed."

"Closed? How can it be closed already? The mystery has only just begun to be solved!" Awoo exclaimed in surprise.

Li Xia pointed to the communicator and said calmly, "The researchers reported that the communication power station incident was caused by an internal malfunction and was not due to external forces or human error."

"Holy crap, this is blatant lies!"

It let out a howl: "This means it must be RS-012, right? Only this kind of thing has the power to distort people's will."

That's interesting...

Li Xia rubbed his chin, thinking, "They did something so big just to cover up their actions."

Is this a desperate attempt to survive, or has the goal already been achieved, and is this a way to clean up the mess?

But every action leaves a trace. And there are more than just these researchers involved. Won't the others become suspicious?

Or is there... something else you're relying on?

Li Xia had just lifted a corner of the fog, revealing the intricate tangled web beneath, when she suddenly discovered that an even deeper fog seemed to be hidden behind it.

The second main quest is also quite interesting; it involves you in the investigation and helps you obtain crucial evidence.

The investigation is over, but where is the evidence?

Hmm, that's not right!

Li Xia's expression shifted; he had indeed found clues after participating in the investigation.

Just like he learned that the researcher had been altered by 012, and that the person behind it was the same group who attacked him and handled the previous cases.

In other words, he has now identified this entity, which we can tentatively call the X organization hidden in the shadows.

So, to obtain crucial evidence, is it enough to simply provide concrete evidence of the existence of Organization X, or...?

Probably!

He touched his chin and stood up from the bathtub.

The water gurgled down the body, which was as perfect as could be. The body shuddered slightly and the water was dispersed into a fine mist that left the body, making it even drier than if it had been dried in a dryer.

I put on a soft bathrobe, snuggled up on the sofa, turned on the TV, and randomly picked a channel with a wasteland theme to watch.

In short, the programs inside were quite daring, mostly featuring restricted content, but Li Xia's mind wasn't on that; instead, she was deep in thought.

So... now the question becomes, how do we find this Organization X?

"Knock knock knock————"

There was a soft knock on the door.

Li Xia raised an eyebrow, waved his hand, and then darted over to open the door.

"Dark Flame, you've come uninvited, I apologize for disturbing you—"

Cang Lan's words suddenly stopped, and she stared in astonishment at Li Xia in front of her, completely stunned.

Emerald and Violet behind him blushed instantly.

In the spacious living room, Li Xia was sitting on the sofa wearing a bathrobe.

And coincidentally, the TV was showing that rather explosive R-rated movie, which was at its climax—the male protagonist battling a female alien, a very intense one.

Jin Zi gritted her teeth, with only one thought in her mind: she really is incorrigible!

Li Xia looked up at them, then glanced at the television, and suddenly realized what was happening and fell silent.

He was completely absorbed in his thoughts and didn't pay any attention to what was on TV.

Moreover, the plot wasn't like this before; it was more about the male protagonist, as a titled hunter, wreaking havoc in the wild.

He stood up, turned off the TV, and walked over to her with a calm expression: "What is it?"

Azure then came to her senses and banished what she had just seen from her mind.

Such a strong person has some minor quirks, which only makes them seem more real.

He even couldn't help but have a thought: Could it be that if you want to cross the line, you have to be a little lecherous?

That's possible!

As the saying goes, human instinct is to reproduce. The allure of women may seem like mere lust, but it can also be understood as an extremely strong instinctive desire for procreation.

What could possibly surpass this most fundamental instinct? Could it be that only by relying on this can one transcend the critical point?

Cang Lan fell into deep thought, wondering if she should go back and find a few to watch and cultivate her skills.

Li Xia had no idea that Cang Lan, this middle-aged man with a stubble and a sighing expression, was actually a person with a vivid imagination.

He looked at Cang Lan, who was deep in thought and silent, with some surprise, and asked again, "What is it?"

Cang Lan snapped out of her daze and hurriedly said, "Oh... I see. There's something I'd like to ask you about."

Although it's presumptuous of me, I still came despite the intrusion, because this is very important!

"Need my advice?"

Li Xia raised an eyebrow. He wanted to refuse, but then a thought struck him, and he turned and walked toward the sofa in the living room: "Have a seat first."

The three little ones quickly found a place to huddle together, lined up their heads vertically against the wall, and began to watch the show.

They had been laughing so hard their stomachs hurt, especially when they came in. The two girls looked at the TV and Li Xia, their expressions shifting from bewilderment to confusion, then to shock, and finally to shame and indignation.

And that shy blush on her face—it's hard to imagine that these female hunters, who have gone through countless battles and hardships, could have such a complex expression, and in the end, they even seemed to be questioning their existence.

"Please help yourself to water, wine, and beverages; I won't pour any more."

Li Xia sat in the main seat of the single sofa, legs crossed, hands casually resting on her knees: "Speak, what is it?"

Azure paused for a moment, then raised her head and said solemnly, "What I want to ask is, have you already broken through... the critical point?"

Critical point? What is that?

Li Xia paused. If it were the Dark Flame from before, he would definitely understand what the critical point was, but he had no idea about such a thing.

This is something that titled hunters tacitly understand; it's not recorded outside the hunter community.

For a moment, Li Xia didn't know how to answer and could only remain silent.

However, Cang Lan interpreted his silence as tacit agreement.

Azure breathed a sigh of relief, her eyes seemingly lighting up:

"Just as I thought! You have successfully broken through the critical point."

"Then, Mr. Darkflame, on behalf of the Hunter's Guild and dozens of pioneers, I solemnly make this request to you!"

Can you tell us how to break through the critical point?

We are willing to do everything in our power to meet your requirements; anything within our power, we will do!

What exactly is this critical point? And how should I answer that?

Li Xia was rarely supported like this.

The key point is that the Hunter's Guild isn't like a company where you can just muddle through and everyone tacitly agrees to let things slide.

These three from the Hunter's Guild genuinely wanted to know this method; their purpose and needs were clear, and they couldn't be easily fooled.

He remained silent, pondering how to respond.

But seeing this, the three of them decided not to say anything.

A hint of disappointment flashed in his azure eyes, and he sighed softly:

"Alright... Darkflame, I understand your concerns. I'm sorry to have bothered you."

After saying that, he got up to leave, but Jin Zi grabbed him and looked at Li Xia, saying with slight excitement:

"We are all hunters, and the hunter's creed is to help each other in times of disaster."

Before joining the Hunter's Guild, you swore an oath before the crimson broken blade banner.

Just like the first hunter, Kali, who selflessly spread the method to break through to become a titled hunter, which is why we are who we are today.

Even if you are no longer a hunter, didn't the Hunter Guild help you when you were breaking through?

"Weren't those breakthrough tips and precautions you read a gift left to all hunters by Senior Kaisa?"

She closed her eyes, her chest heaving violently, and exhaled deeply, with a resolute air:

"Haven't you always wanted me to sleep with you?"

"If you're willing to tell me, I and she..." She suddenly grabbed Emerald: "Emerald and I are both willing to sleep with you!"

Emerald looked completely bewildered, her face flushed red, and she stammered, "Um, I... do I want to sleep too?"

"sleep!"

Li Xia finally couldn't hold back any longer. Seeing that the following remarks were becoming increasingly absurd, he sighed, raised his hand, and said:

"It's not that I'm unwilling to tell you, but first you need to answer one question for me."

Li Xia spread out his hands and asked seriously:

What is a critical point?

The air in the entire hall suddenly became quiet.

Cang Lan and the others stared at Li Xia, dumbfounded, as if they couldn't believe their ears.

"what?"

Chapter 18 Awoo, why isn't it a divine weapon anymore!

The emotion conveyed in that "Ah?" was extremely complex.

Shock, bewilderment, confusion, incomprehension, doubt, hesitation...

If it weren't for the surprised and confused expressions on the faces of his two companions, Cang Lan would have thought he might have misheard.

He looked at Li Xia, then suddenly laughed, a laugh that seemed to be directed at himself, followed by a question full of doubt:

What is the critical point?

Li Xia nodded as if it were a matter of course:

"Yes, what is the tipping point? I remember telling you that I've forgotten a lot of things."

The three were taken aback, and immediately remembered when they first met Dark Flame, he pretended not to recognize them and said he had forgotten many things.

"Isn't that your excuse?"

Jin Zi, who had a rather short temper, stood up and stared at Li Xia in disbelief: "You really forgot?"

Li Xia looked at them with some confusion: "Why would I lie to you? What benefit would I get from lying to you?"

Jin Zi stood there blankly, her mind a chaotic mess.

But she was thinking about something else: Dark Flame had forgotten many things, which meant... he didn't remember her either.

Does that mean... he's forgotten everything he said to me before, like wanting to sleep with me?

So, the promise I just made, risking everything, that "I'll sleep with Jade and you"...

This is incredibly embarrassing!!!

Thinking of this, Jin Zi's face gradually turned red, and the redness spread rapidly, even her ears and neck began to turn red.

Li Xia and the three little ones, who were watching from the corner, marveled at the sight.

Aowu exclaimed, "As expected of a titled hunter, he's truly formidable!"

So embarrassed and annoyed, that steam actually started rising from her head!
