Chapter 1 Lucky Star

“Lucky Star” Blanco suddenly exploded.

Before anyone could react, he had already shot out several meters.

The bespectacled man still wore that unhurried, middle-aged expression, as if he hadn't done anything.

Yet, beneath that composure...

Suddenly!

A streak of silver flashed past.

Blanco's chest suddenly erupted with a spray of blood, his expression freezing in place.

Suren’s eyesight was naturally sharp enough to clearly see that the "silver light" was a slender scalpel, and his pupils constricted sharply.

Moreover, what was even more shocking was yet to come!

Just as that bullet-like silver light flashed, the middle-aged man, who had seemed like a consumptive patient, suddenly had a glint in his eyes. His figure swayed, and the next moment, he had instantly appeared several meters away.

The middle-aged man used his hand as a blade, piercing upwards fiercely, and in an extremely bloody manner, he pierced through Blanco's chest with his bare hands!

"Chi..." Blood splattered everywhere, and the entire gambling hall was instantly filled with a thick bloody smell.

Suren took in this scene, and immediately became alert: "As expected, he’s ridiculously strong..."

The middle-aged man's face was splattered with scarlet blood.

His face, his suit, were covered everywhere.

But this guy didn't seem annoyed by the bloodstains at all, instead, he had an expression of enjoyment, greedily inhaling the warm, bloody air.

All of this happened too fast. In the eyes of ordinary people, it was like a flash of lightning, two shadows colliding.

But in Suren's eyes, he could see everything clearly.

He captured the flash of violent excitement on the middle-aged man's face when he killed someone, and inexplicably felt it was very familiar.

This guy doesn't seem to be quite right in the head either.

.......

In a single exchange, the S-class wanted criminal Blanco was killed.

Now the scene froze, and everyone in the gambling den was stunned.

It wasn't that violent conflicts hadn't occurred in the gambling den, or that people hadn't died before.

There had been knives and guns, severed heads and arms, and even intestines spilling out...

But no one had ever seen someone pierce through another's chest with their bare hands.

The bespectacled man stood there as straight as a javelin. The killing intent visibly condensed into substance, vaguely forming a faint red glow on his body...

The visual impact of this violent method was extremely strong, scaring the gambling den girls pale.

After a moment of愣, screams echoed throughout the entire gambling den.

In the blink of an eye, a team of plainclothes personnel from the Umbrella organization rushed in, pulled out their IDs, and reassured everyone: "Umbrella is arresting a wanted criminal, don't panic!"

The national-faced man who looked like the captain glanced at the frozen scene, and the corner of his eye twitched.

He walked over, revealing a look of difficulty, and said, "Sir, you shouldn't have killed him."

The bespectacled man then released the body, and said in a non-aggressive tone, "Hmm... sorry. Suddenly felt like killing someone."

As he spoke, he put down the body, then leisurely took off his glasses from the bridge of his nose, and took out a blank white handkerchief from his pocket, gently wiping the blood from the lenses.

It was this seemingly ordinary action that made the national-faced man feel inexplicably palpitations, and his eyelids twitched wildly: "Sir, I will report this matter truthfully."

"Mm."

The bespectacled man didn't seem to care, turned and walked out, "I'll leave this to you."

"..."

The national-faced man wanted to say something, but didn't know how to start.

At this time, a team member next to him conducted a simple autopsy and reported, "Boss, confirmed, it's the fugitive 'Blanco &

Suren had also heard about this killing hobby.

But no one knew the details.

Guesses were related to his extraordinary occupation, or his talent...

Even though Sabina was an Umbrella organization lieutenant general, her understanding of this mysterious leader's abilities was very limited.

She only knew he was strong.

Ridiculously strong!

Suren looked at the middle-aged man's departing back, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

At the same time, he felt very solemn.

"What speed..."

He recalled it in his mind. Even if he faced that move just now, although he wouldn't be killed in one exchange, the possibility of escaping and saving his life was not high.

Suren didn't dare to appraise everything about this guy, and withdrew his gaze.

As long as he wasn't coming for him, that was good.

.......

The people from the Umbrella organization took away the body, and the gambling den returned to its noisy state.

But it was like a bonfire that had been doused with a basin of cold water. Even if it could still burn, the atmosphere wasn't as strong as before.

At least, at the table in Suren's small hall, several big bosses from the inner city were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they lost their interest in gambling, leaving one after another.

With no one to start a game, the gambling-addicted young woman also felt very disappointed, and began to count her chips. While packing up, she muttered to herself, "I thought my luck was finally good tonight, and I could win back what I lost yesterday... Sigh! Forget it, I won't gamble anymore, seeing blood affects my luck..."

Suren heard this muttering, and the corner of his mouth raised slightly. He walked over, pulled up a chair and sat next to her, using the persona of a playboy young master to tease, "Hey, beauty, want to have a drink together?"

Chitiao had naturally recognized Suren long ago, but couldn't show that she was very familiar with him.

She sized Suren up and down, a strange color flashing in her crystalline eyes, and teased, "Yo~ handsome guy, are you trying to pick me up?"

Suren smiled, "May I have the honor?"

Chitiao was naturally not polite, her expression like a mature woman who was moved by a handsome man, and she readily agreed, "Okay!"

.......

The two exchanged their chips and left the gambling den.

Today, Chitiao was dressed relatively conservatively, not revealing her large tattooed arms, nor carrying a knife, dressed as a gentle young woman.

But as soon as she walked on the street, Chitiao revealed her true colors. She wasn't polite at all, and casually put her hand on Suren's shoulder, looking like a big sister: "Hey hey hey... I say, kid, you actually look pretty good with hair..."

As she spoke, she casually pinched Suren's face, and scratched his hair, seemingly wanting to see if it was fake.

After confirming, Chitiao squinted her eyes and said in a teasing tone, "I have to say... this skin is really loved by young women and misses."

"..."

Hearing the first half of the sentence, Suren thought Chitiao was praising him, but the second half felt wrong.

He didn't know if it was because he had tasted the sweetness or what, but he always felt that the gentle, sinking feeling on his arm was a little different from before.

He didn't forget that there was still serious business to attend to, and asked directly, "By the way, Sister Chitiao, did you post the Hunter Guild information?"

Chitiao had an expression as if she had just remembered the serious business, "Oh, I almost forgot, I really came to you because I have something to ask. I have something I want to borrow from you."

"..."

Suren looked at the bloodshot eyes in her eyes, and tentatively asked, "You haven't been gambling in the gambling den for a day and a night, have you?"

The news was posted yesterday, and she was still in the gambling den today, so he might have guessed correctly.

Sure enough.

This gambling-addicted young woman didn't deny it, and nodded directly, "Yup."

She seemed to have recalled some unpleasant experience, and pouted, "I lost some money yesterday, so I gambled a little longer. It was hard to see my luck improve today and win some back, but I didn't expect to encounter that incident just now..."

"..."

When Suren heard the whole story, his expression became a little strange.

He had been wondering why it was such a coincidence that they ran into the Umbrella organization's operation to capture a fugitive.

It turned out it wasn't a coincidence, but that Chitiao had deliberately gone there.

She used that metaphysical gambling technique to find a "loser" to gamble against, so her luck was good; otherwise, she would have lost everything long ago.

The wanted criminal "Lucky Star" Blanco used the 【Tabad's Lucky Coin】, and the curse backlash was getting heavier and heavier. If he didn't use the coin, his luck would get worse and worse, so it was normal to win against him.

He didn't expect that while gambling, the Umbrella organization leader would come.

Then there was the scene Suren saw just now.

After she finished speaking, Suren asked again, "Sister Chitiao, do you know the origin of that guy just now?"

Chitiao raised her eyebrows and said, "He should be a high-level member of the Umbrella organization, his strength is very strong, at least a 'T0-level' senior general. I noticed him when he came in three hours ago. But I thought he wasn't coming for me, so I ignored him. But speaking of which... that guy's gambling skills are really good."

"Oh."

Suren heard this relaxed tone, and knew that she had a sense of proportion, and said again, "I got some information, that person may be the Umbrella organization leader 'Forensic Doctor' Servais Gerard."

"So it's him, no wonder."

Chitiao frowned slightly when she heard this.

Thinking about it, it didn't seem surprising, and she muttered again, "Probably because the young lady from the Duke's Mansion is coming, and this guy came to prepare the ground."

Suren looked at Chitiao's indifferent attitude, and didn't say anything more, and asked again, "By the way, Sister Chitiao, what do you want to borrow from me?"

Chitiao looked at the crowd on the street, and didn't say it directly, "This is not the place to talk. Let's go, we'll talk somewhere else."

Suren pointed to the street of neon lights in the distance, "Tavern?"

Chitiao waved her hand, "Forget it, I'm not drinking. I've been gambling for two days and nights, and I'm not in a good mood."

Suren: "Where to go?"

Chitiao looked at the people from the inner city who were looking for accommodation everywhere on the street, and suddenly thought of something, and asked, "By the way, have you found accommodation in the camp?"

Suren said truthfully, "Yes. I'm staying at the Rose Inn now."

Chitiao waved her hand, "That's great, I haven't found a place to live yet. I'll squeeze in with you tonight."

Suren heard this and felt a little weird, but he was used to this scatterbrained gambling-addicted young woman, and agreed, "Oh."

.......

In this way, Suren led Sister Chitiao to the Rose Inn.

It was difficult to find a room now, especially a room with a private bathroom.

As soon as Chitiao entered the room, she saw that there was a bathroom, and her eyes lit up: "Yo~! You actually managed to book a room with a bathroom? Wow, those big财阀 from the inner city are finding it hard to get a room like this..."

Suren: "I've always been in the camp, and I didn't cancel my reservation because it was difficult to book a room a few days ago..."

There was a soundproof barrier in the room, so he wasn't afraid of being overheard.

But he didn't expect that before he could finish speaking, this gambling-addicted young woman directly walked into the bathroom, and then tore open the belt of her kimono, completely ignoring that there was a man in the room, and started taking off her clothes directly.

While taking off her clothes, she muttered to herself, "Wow, I can finally take a bath... I haven't been able to soak in a hot spring for more than ten days, I'm suffocating..."

As she spoke, the kimono was thrown out, "Please hang it up for me~"

Suren looked at the completely naked back, and shook his head with a wry smile.

When they were in the Cross Society before, Chitiao had also repeatedly asked Suren to take a mixed-gender hot spring bath together, and the two were not very reserved.

They didn't feel any embarrassment living in the same room.

He casually joked.

"Hey hey hey, Sister Chitiao, can't you avoid me a little?"

"Tch~ it's not like I haven't seen it before."

"..."

This big shot really didn't treat him like an outsider, and didn't seem to avoid the distinction between men and women at all.

Hearing this,

Suren smiled and didn't look any further.

He turned around and went to the coat rack in the room with the clothes.

Soon, the sound of rushing water came from the bathroom.

Suren hung Chitiao's cheongsam on the coat rack, and asked, "Sister Chitiao, why did you come to the ruins?"

Hearing this, Chitiao's voice came from the bathroom, mixed with the sound of the shower, "Didn't the Duke's Mansion issue an order for a nationwide hunt for wasteland? All the major and minor forces received notifications. The big and small gangs in the outer city have also been assigned tasks. Not only us in the Cross Society, but the Raven Gang and the Steam Party have also sent people over..."

"Oh~"

The room was very small, there was no sofa, Suren tidied up his things on the bed, and sat down on the bed with a thud.

And looking up from this angle, he happened to see an enchanting scene.

The inn was decorated in a minimalist style, and the bathroom was not made of solid walls, but of semi-transparent frosted glass.

Although the glass was not very clear, you could still see the hazy figure.

When water was splashed on it, it became more transparent after being wet.

Suren's current eyesight could naturally see everything clearly.

She had a slender figure, exquisite and well-proportioned.

When Chitiao was rinsing sideways, he could even see some details of her proud and upright figure.

Suren didn't deliberately want to take advantage of this gambling-addicted young woman, but just with this casual glance, he couldn't help but think of Sabina.

In fact, if you really looked closely, Chitiao's figure was not much worse than Sabina's. They both had slightly plump figures, but each had their own charm.

Sabina was charming, and Chitiao emphasized her heroic spirit.

Even because she was a close-combat professional, Chitiao's body muscles were fuller, like her hips, legs, waist, and abdomen, there was a kind of symmetrical fullness in her slender figure.

It's just that she only had a fierce reputation on the streets, not a beautiful one, so few people spread it.

At this time, he didn't know if it was because he had been looking at it for a few seconds too long, but Chitiao's murmur came from the bathroom, "Hey hey hey... can you restrain your eyes a little? Do you want a beating?"

After all, she was a top expert, and her perception was extremely strong.

Suren then realized that he had been rude, and restrained his eyes.

Because the two were very familiar, he imitated her words that she had used to tease him before, and smiled, "Oh, not bad~"

There was no obscene thought in his tone, it was pure appreciation.

Seemingly not knowing how to respond, the bathroom was silent for a moment, and then Chitiao's faint voice came, "You really want a beating..."

Suren laughed: "Hahaha..."

But jokes were jokes, and serious business still had to be discussed.

Suren asked again, "By the way, Sister Chitiao, what did you say you wanted to borrow from me before?"

"Mm."

Chitiao responded. Da Feng Novel

After a pause, she said again, "We're going to intercept and kill someone. Just in case, we may need your Black Scythe."

Hearing this, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in Suren's mind, and he thought of something, and asked, "You're going to intercept and kill the lady from the Duke's Mansion?"

"Huh... how did you guess that?"

At this time, Chitiao's response came from the bathroom, "Almost, but things are a bit complicated, and it's not clear in a few words..."
