Chapter 7: Old Friend?
Inside the doorway of the three-story civilian residence, Su Xiao held a wooden box in his hand. Inside the box was the head of the Gluttony Dark Demon.
[Reminder: You have slain the Gluttony Dark Demon.]
[You have obtained 62 Soul Coins.]
Seeing this amount of Soul Coins obtained, Su Xiao was in a good mood. The Soul Coin yield in this world was astonishingly high. Perhaps due to bad luck, he hadn't obtained a treasure chest, but that wasn't important.
It was quiet outside the door. The official personnel of Sodo City had already withdrawn to the cordoned-off area to maintain order. Since it was nighttime, the nearby evacuated civilians were quite resentful.
Pushing open the door and leaving the residence to reach the main street, the aftermath of this supernatural incident had little to do with Su Xiao. The Watch Guild would send people to handle it.
Getting into the steam car, with Bubu Wang driving as usual, they didn't head toward the shelter house. Su Xiao was going to find a female hunter, one with the ability to extract memories.
As long as he brought the Dark Demon's head, she could strip all the memories from the demon's brain, provided the demon had died no more than six hours ago.
That female hunter no longer took on supernatural incident commissions. After a certain special-grade supernatural incident, she had lost both legs and one arm. Since she had never shown signs of losing control, she was settled in Sodo City. It was said she had opened a fortune-telling shop near the market.
Su Xiao felt the Gluttony Dark Demon's behavior was very abnormal. Setting aside its insane style of action, there were many suspicious things. For example, how had Major Bart's home briefly merged with the Dark Prison and opened a Dark Prison rift?
Moreover, after the Gluttony Dark Demon had slaughtered Major Bart's family, what had it gained, and why had it thrown what it obtained into the Dark Prison?
All these actions clearly weren't what a Dark Demon driven mad by killing should have. It was very likely someone was directing it, or tempting it with some condition to do so.
The information from the main mission was almost nonexistent, so Su Xiao wouldn't let any suspicious leads slip. As long as he could find an entry point, there was hope of completing the main mission.
Inside the steam car, after checking the prompt regarding World Reputation, Su Xiao attempted to activate the Reputation Shop.
[You have opened the World Reputation Shop.]
[Current World Reputation: 62 points.]
[When World Reputation reaches 50, 300, and 1000 points, rare item exchange rights will be unlocked.]
[You have unlocked the following item exchange rights:]
