Chapter 323 Chapter 321·“This world is too cruel”

 “The gods are also very kind.” Su Mingan said.

From this history, it seems that although Su Lin’s plan played a big role in saving Praia, it was mainly because the **** in Yunshang City agreed to their request.

"Yes." Elras clasped his hands together with a pious expression: "Every living resident in Praia will be extremely grateful to that kind god."

 His tone was sincere, like a devout Christian who was not hypocritical.

 After all, the benevolent **** saved all of their lives.

"By the way, after listening to the report on last night's mission, you said there was a problem with the Soul Hunting Intelligence Department?" After a brief prayer, Elras put down his hands and started to get down to business.

"Yes." Su Mingan said: "After I entered the Huajie stronghold, I met an S-class soul clan whose strength is no less than mine."

“Can you describe the appearance of that S-level soul clan?”

“He is a gentleman-like old man, wearing a top hat and leaning on a cane.”

“It turns out it’s Archerev…” Elras thought for a while: “Judging from the collection of corpses, he’s not inside. Did he…escape?”

 “Yes.” Su Mingan said.

"What a surprise." Ailras's eyes flashed: "You are indeed a descendant of Master Su Lin. Even high-ranking soul clansmen like Alcherev can only run away in embarrassment."

"Perhaps he has some scruples." Su Mingan said: "There are discords within the Soul Clan. They show no signs of uniting and will only scatter when they encounter danger."

"That's right." Elras tapped his finger on the table: "...After all, they are just a bunch of beasts who only know how to eat souls and are dominated by desires. If the night had not become their protective barrier, these guys would have been killed long ago. It should be exterminated."

His tone was very bitter, containing deep contempt and hatred for this race.

"But even if they are such a bunch of unworthy guys, I have to admit that they have been a little arrogant recently." Ellas narrowed his eyes: "...I recently received news that this group of guys are fighting on their own. , seems to have found a new strategist who can bring them together."

 “Strategist?”

"It should be a new soul clan who knows how to command battles." Ellas pulled out a piece of paper, which contained a failed battle report: "In the No. 36 extermination operation in the West District, a soul clan secretly Sneaked into the soul hunting team and planted bombs in our stronghold... It's strange. Only soul hunters who have been tested by the detection stone can apply for this kind of controlled supplies. I don't know how these soul clans got it. …”

Su Mingan roughly understood after hearing this.

 It’s the players who are interfering.

Since he can sneak into the soul hunt as a soul clan, there are naturally players who can play a role in the soul clan camp. They can take advantage of the players' special characteristics, communicate with the team over long distances, understand the tactics of soul hunting, and control the battle situation through teammates from different camps.

This is also the reason why Su Mingan is unwilling to act with his team. He cannot judge whether his teammates will betray his own camp information.

 Ten thousand people's dungeons should not only take into account the plot of the NPCs, but also the special nature of this group of fourth natural disasters.

"So... Su Lin." Elras sat upright on the chair, looking directly at him: "In view of your perfect performance in the battle last night, I would like to give you some more important tasks."

Su Mingan looked at him.

"Although you successfully completed an extremely dangerous mission last night, recently, the soul hunter side has really been unable to mobilize manpower. You are an extremely rare and reassuring S-class soul hunter..." Ai Erras said and suddenly stood up.

Elras stood up, faced him, and suddenly bent over.

The leader with the highest authority in the soul hunting camp bowed to him at this time:

“…I still want to ask you to take on these tasks that are too dangerous for ordinary soul hunting.”

Su Mingan also stood up.

 “I’ll take it,” he said.

 In his eyes. Danger = high difficulty = high reward = suitable for him.

 Dangerous tasks are often closer to the route of perfect clearance. In order to ensure that he always leads the dungeon, he needs to accept these difficult tasks.

“Thank you.” Ellas straightened up, with a rather emotional expression on his face: “I didn’t expect... Even after so many years, Su Lin and his descendants are still guarding the land of Praia...”

 He handed a portfolio to Su Mingan.

Su Mingan took a quick look.

 This is a cleaning task.

 The so-called "cleaning" means that the soul hunter goes to the area at night and kills the hunting souls. And follow the clues to kill other soul clans hiding in the dark, until there are no soul clans in this area.

 Cleaning tasks often last for more than ten days until no more residents die in the area.

According to a report from the East District 13th Street Ghost Hunting Information Department, the 13th Street that was clearly cleared by ghost hunting five days ago has seen the death of residents again at night.

 The Soul Hunting Department suspects that a fish that has been missed by the soul hunter has appeared in this area.

"I understand." Su Mingan looked at the map and unexpectedly discovered that Thirteenth Street in the East District was the area where he lived.

 No wonder the neighbor’s granddaughter Lele was so wary of her. It turned out that there were indeed deaths in that area.

Ellas said: "At night, the neighborhoods of Praia will be tightly blocked, and residents will consciously stop going out. If there are still souls in the area after cleaning, this can only mean that this soul is among the residents. It’s hidden very deep.”

“I will pay attention to the situation on Thirteenth Street tonight.” Su Mingan said.

"Well, you are a person who lives there, so you won't arouse the suspicion of the soul clan. Just pay attention to whether any suspicious people go out at night. In addition, regarding your reaction, there is a problem with the ghost in the Soul Hunting Intelligence Department. I will Pay attention." Elras said seriously: "I have already arranged the inspection task, and will conduct a comprehensive inspection of the soul hunting of the Intelligence Department in the near future to ensure that no souls are mixed in."

“Even if it’s not the soul clan, there may be someone who can pass on the message.” Su Mingan reminded.

 He knows that the spy in the Intelligence Department is most likely a player.

So, regardless of whether this player is a soul clan or a soul hunter, this player will transmit information to the outside world, and large-scale detection will not detect anything.

 “…I understand.” Elras clenched his fists.

 Facing the fact that Soul Hunting itself might have problems, he looked very sad.

Su Mingan turned over the paper in his hand and suddenly heard movement outside the door.

The sound of rapid footsteps came, accompanied by an extremely frivolous call:

“Elras—my dear Elras, look who’s here—”

Su Mingan turned around and saw a man with yellow hair, wearing a leather jacket and a dozen earrings walking in.

 Behind the yellow-haired man, followed a young man with a completely different style of painting. The moment he saw the young man, the word "knight" immediately popped into Su Mingan's mind.

 There is no other reason. This young man following the man with a subtle smile perfectly fits people's impression of a knight.

The young man wore a suit of light iron armor, with a golden sword at his waist. His hair was as golden as the sun, and his smile seemed to be contagious by nature, making people unable to feel disgusted just by looking at him.

He stood there, staring quietly into the room. His green, clear pupils were as clear as a mirror, as if they could reflect people's shadows dyed with light.

“Eske, you guy.” Alras laughed and cursed, as if he was very familiar with the yellow-haired man in front of him: “The trouble in the West District hasn’t been solved yet, but you came to the Central Department.”

"Aren't you feeling relaxed? I'm mobilizing the troops there, and you're sitting here comfortably in the office... I still want to ask, what kind of immortals are coming from the Soul Clan? Forcefully put these idiot-like guys away We have joined forces, and now no matter which area we clean, there will be guys who are ambushing us in advance." The yellow-haired young man complained.

"Introduction, this is the Western Soul Hunting Minister, Eske." Ellas patted Su Mingan on the shoulder: "Ask, this is the new S-level soul hunter, a descendant of Master Su Lin, also known as Su Lin."

"Wow." Esk exclaimed in an exaggerated way: "A new guy is here again? I heard that he was the one who led last night's Flower Street mission. Finally, a reliable newcomer has arrived. The quality of the recent newcomers All of them have their noses in the air. They either have poor adaptability or like to act without permission. If we don’t get someone who can do something, I will really be **** to death by this group of newcomers.”

Su Mingan was speechless.

It seems that the destructive power of those players is really good, even the head of the Western District has a headache to this extent.

 After all, everyone feels that they are born to be the protagonist.

Elras chatted with Eske for a few more words, and then introduced the knight-like young man behind him to Su Mingan.

"This is Xie Lude, a knight of light from Yunshang Church. He is the strongest newcomer who has just received the blessing from the gods and has shown A-level soul hunting ability." Ellas said to Su Mingan: "Xie Lude is The soul hunter is currently the most promising warrior and has the best chance of breaking through to the S-level existence. This kid is good at everything, but he lacks combat experience. Su Lin, I know you look down on those B-level and C-level soul hunters. But you can take this kid with you in subsequent combat missions, he is trustworthy."

Su Mingan glanced at Xie Lude.

The pair of bright green eyes met his gaze. Sherrod noticed him and looked over, smiling at him.

"Hello, respected S-class soul hunter." Xie Lude bowed, and the scabbard and armor made a sound.

 “Hello.” Su Mingan responded.

 He could see that the respect of the other party was not just a pretense.

Facing this kind of warrior who was born as a knight, he really couldn't resist.

If the other party's charm also had a rating, Su Mingan would probably have to be at least S.

After they greeted each other, Su Mingan left the office and went downstairs to receive last night's mission reward.

After he left, Eske, who originally had a wild smile on his face, stopped smiling and slowly closed the door.

"Is the identity information reliable?" Eske said in a serious voice.

"It should be no problem. He is indeed almost exactly the same as the young Su Lin. He should be a descendant of Su Lin." Ellas said.

"But I recently heard reports from some newcomers in the West District, saying that he was born in the Art Empire. He was originally just a viscount who didn't know martial arts. He was even abandoned on a sunken ship. His strength is like that after arriving in Praia. The sudden display seems to be a deliberate attempt to gain our dependence."

"This is also something I doubt." Elras said: "So, last night I assigned him the most difficult task that has been troubling us. At present, we can initially find out that at least he is not from the Soul Clan, otherwise It won’t be like wiping out the opponent’s lair in one go. I’ve seen the death state of the soul clan’s corpses, and he didn’t hold back at all.”

"But he didn't leave Archerev behind, nor did he say a word about Lucia."

 “Young people, they care about face, so they run away and don’t mention it. It’s normal.”

“I still doubt that even if he is a descendant of Master Su Lin, he will not be so strong. How old is he..."

"Xie Lude is only twenty years old. He received the blessing from the gods for the first time and gained A-level strength."

“You cannot compare a soul hunter who is blessed by the gods with a soul hunter who awakens himself outside.”

"...So today's mission is the last test for him by the soul hunter - I don't care where he comes from, nor why he keeps hiding his strength, as long as he is a human, not loyal to the soul clan, and does not surrender Because of my sensibility, I can confidently and boldly invest in him and make him the sharpest knife. You know, the attitude in Wangcheng is ambiguous. In order to wipe out those soul clans who are like gutter rats, we need an invincible sword. Weapons. At first I targeted Sherrod, but he was too kind, so I had no choice but to change the target."

"You want to use even Su Lin's descendants? Although I am also a soul hunter, I have to say that the leader of the soul hunter is always like this, doing everything possible."

"You know, in order to deal with those soul clans, we need to try our best to squeeze out all our strength."

 “That’s right, Elras.”

"Um."

"You said it was a task to test him. Considering his place of residence...it wouldn't be the secondary cleaning task on Thirteenth Street, right?"

"yes."

　　… “…Elras.”

"Um?"

 “You are so cruel.”

　　　…”

Elras sighed:

“…This world is too cruel.”
