Chapter 127 – “§”symbol


Now the fire poison cannot harm Su’en, and the plan of the smoke ghost has also failed.

If he doesn’t show up and attack, he can’t do anything to Su’en.

And Su’en won’t just sit and wait for death. He controls the eight-arm spider spear and starts running.

He used to be afraid of being found by the smoke ghost and being killed with one fatal blow. But now, after injecting the “x potion,” his body’s resilience, resistance, and recovery ability have become stronger and stronger.

He is now confident that the smoke ghost cannot kill him with one blow.

On the contrary, once the opponent can’t help but make a move, it will be the time to determine the outcome.

Although he can’t see the surroundings, Su’en can roughly distinguish that the direction he is heading is south. He rushes straight towards that direction.

The spider legs have the ability to move without obstacles, climbing walls and stairs without caring about whether there is a way or not. The speed is getting faster and faster.

However, even so, the cloud of smoke follows closely behind.

Even though there are many flaws in his running, Su’en doesn’t care at all.

The two of them chase each other from Green Street all the way south.

Su’en thought that the smoke ghost would not be able to resist attacking him when he saw his flaws, after all, if they really went outside the complex terrain of the city, the situation would be even more unfavorable for the pursuers.

But unexpectedly, when both of them were looking for opportunities to kill each other, something unexpected happened.

A cloaked figure rushed towards them, blocking their way.

The person spoke and questioned, “Sanbu, are you from the Umbrella Organization?”

The voice was disguised, and it was impossible to tell if it was a man or a woman.

……

Su’en looked at the person who blocked their way, thinking that it must be a high-ranking member of the Umbrella Organization.

But when he saw the cloak, his expression immediately became subtle.

The person was wearing a black cloak with an ancient style, and his face couldn’t be seen clearly.

It looked a bit like the hidden cloaks in the high-ranking professional circles of the black market, but both the material and workmanship were visibly several levels higher.

It was not the ordinary pure black color. The cloak had beautiful patterns outlined by golden lines, including snakes, eagles, lizards, fire dragons, thorn flowers… these were metaphorical patterns that appeared in alchemy classics.

The golden patterns on the cloak looked like decorations, but when combined, they seemed to form some kind of profound alchemy formation. Upon closer inspection, there was a strong sense of mystery.

This cloak seemed to belong to those ancient noble families with profound backgrounds.

What caught Su’en’s attention even more was another factor.

When the person caught up with them just now, Su’en saw a golden “§” symbol on the back of the cloak.

Su’en had seen this symbol twice before. One was when he first crossed over, in the underground altar of the Storm Manor, one of the five statues was carved with this symbol.

The other was the eight-pointed star alchemy formation core on the back of the book “Isaac’s Alchemy Manuscript 3” he was holding.

And now, it appeared on this cloak for the third time.

Su’en speculated that this symbol was related to some kind of S-level talent.

Because when he awakened the “s-018-All-Seeing Eye,” the statue with the “?” symbol shattered; and when he awakened the “s-004-Death Reaper,” the statue with the “?” symbol also shattered.

Usually, obvious markings on clothing represent a certain organization.

Like the Iron Cross of the Templar.

This cloaked person should be from a mysterious organization.

Su’en’s first reaction was that the person was Mr. Black, because he should already know that Su’en had been to the basement of 88 Gingko Street.

But looking at the imposing manner of this cloaked person, he immediately ruled it out.

Mr. Black always gave people the feeling of being calm and composed, while this person exuded a strong and domineering aura, as if flames were burning all over him.

Since he couldn’t sense any “malice,” Su’en also stopped and didn’t make any moves.

The fact that the person caught up with them in just a few leaps showed that his physical strength must be extremely strong.

Now that he came to question the smoke ghost, the situation didn’t seem like they were enemies.

……

Upon hearing the question from the cloaked person, the smoke ghost asked in a deep voice, “Who are you, sir?”

The cloaked person didn’t answer at all and asked again, “You just need to answer yes or no.”

The smoke ghost naturally couldn’t lie, especially with Su’en, who knew the truth, by his side. He had to change the topic and said, “What does it have to do with you since you know I am from the Umbrella?”

“That’s it then.”

The tone of the cloaked person was a bit domineering.

If you don’t admit it, then forget it.

If I say you are, then you are.

As he spoke, his aura soared, as if he was about to make a move.

The smoke ghost found it inexplicable that the imposing manner of the other party made him coldly snort.

But realizing that the other party’s intentions were not good, he didn’t hide anymore and said directly, “Since you know I am from the Umbrella, what is your purpose in stopping me?”

From the cloaked person’s aura, the smoke ghost could tell that he must be a high-ranking professional. If they really fought now, with his arm already severed, he would definitely be at a disadvantage.

Moreover, there was also a guy holding a scythe staring at them.

Once he revealed his identity, he knew that his situation would be very dangerous.

“What’s my purpose? Naturally, to kill you!”

But unexpectedly, bringing up the identity of the Umbrella Organization not only didn’t improve the smoke ghost’s situation, but also made the cloaked person unleash his full power. With a stomp of his foot, he rushed towards the cloud of smoke!

……

“So strong!”

Su’en’s pupils contracted.

Seeing the movement of the cloaked person stomping on the ground and creating a shockwave, he knew that this guy must have extremely strong close combat abilities.

This was a very advanced rushing body technique. The stomp not only exerted force on the ground, but also compressed the air into an air burst, using it to propel himself forward.

However, they started fighting as soon as they met. This person’s temperament is really hot-tempered.

But even though he knew that the smoke ghost was from the Umbrella Organization, he still dared to make a move?

In the entire Old Lingdun, there were not many people or forces that dared to actively oppose the Umbrella Organization.

Seeing this, a thought suddenly flashed through Su’en’s mind.When he was gathering information in the black market before, people had mentioned that a month ago, the woman who had bombed the West City laboratory and was wanted, was cornered by the Umbrella Organization in North City. Just when they were about to successfully encircle and kill her, a “third party force” suddenly appeared, breaking the Umbrella Organization’s encirclement and allowing the woman to escape again.

Could this cloaked figure be that “third party force”?

Although he had guessed this, Su’en had no intention of watching the fight between high-ranking professionals.

Now that someone was holding off the Smoky Ghost, he didn’t need to risk using his black scythe for a second strike.

Just as he was preparing to slip away in the chaos, he didn’t expect…

The fight came suddenly, and ended even more abruptly!

Even though Su’en had mentally prepared for the cloaked figure to intercept the Smoky Ghost, he knew the figure must be quite powerful.

But looking at the scene before him, his eyes were still filled with disbelief!

……

The Smoky Ghost hid in the fog, making it a significant challenge for anyone to kill him.

Unexpectedly, the cloaked figure launched a major attack as soon as they met!

When he rushed out, the murderous aura that was like a flame suddenly surged, growing higher and higher.

In that instant, the purple-black flame suddenly condensed into a strange phantom with delicate features, yet exuding a dignified aura. With flaming hair and six arms each holding a weapon, it was clearly the image of a Rakshasi from ancient mythology.

“A mythological talent [a-022-Rakshasi]?”

Su’en’s gaze faltered, recalling the introduction of this rare talent in the classics.

“No, even an A-level talent couldn’t be this strong!”

He remembered the description of this talent in the classics, which said it could greatly enhance physical strength, but he had never heard of a talent that could manifest in such a way.

Moreover, in the entire outer city of Old Lingdun, those with A-level talents were all well-known figures, and he had never heard of anyone awakening this kind of mythological talent.

Could it be a second awakening of talent like Danny’s?

Who could this person be?

Su’en didn’t have time to ponder.

Because the fight was already over.

The cloaked figure moved so fast, like a meteor; so powerful, that with a single encounter, the Smoky Ghost hiding in the thick fog was hammered to spit blood and fly out!

Even though the Smoky Ghost had lost an arm, he was a genuine second-tier professional.

Defeated in a single encounter?

The Smoky Ghost, lying on the ground spitting blood, his face as pale as gold paper, obviously recognized who the cloaked figure was, and was terrified: “It’s you! How can you be so strong?!”

But in the next instant, the cloaked figure didn’t give him a chance to speak, flashed, and kicked him in the head again.

A chilling sound of bone cracking rang out.

The veteran member of the Cross Society, a long-established second-tier professional, “Smoky Ghost” Sambu Kachinsky, was killed on the spot!

……

Before he had a chance to escape, the fight was over.

Looking at the explosive crime scene, Su’en tightened his grip on the big black scythe in his hand, then loosened it again, a complex expression of confusion, shock, and emotion appearing on his face.

Voice, face, even body shape could be changed by the cloak.

But the style of doing things had a strong sense of déjà vu.

Thinking back to the Smoky Ghost’s familiar expression before his death, Su’en had a rough guess who this person was.

He just didn’t expect her to be so incredibly strong…

What on earth was going on with the Cross Society? It was one thing to have a mole in the Umbrella Organization, but how could she be that “third party force”?

At this time, the cloaked figure looked at Su’en who hadn’t run away, and was staring at her in surprise. She seemed equally incredulous, asking, “Do you recognize me?”

Hearing her tone, Su’en was even more certain of his guess, and said with a complex expression, “Yes, Sister Qian Tiao…”
