Chapter 809 - 809 422 Three Heroes Battle Casio (4000)

Chapter 809: 422 Three Heroes Battle Casio (4000) Chapter 809: 422 Three Heroes Battle Casio (4000) Half an hour later, remote forest, Underground Experiment Site.

Near the conversion pool in the Hall, a silhouette dressed in a black robe sat cross-legged, eyes tightly closed, looking as hard and cold as stone. The fish bait Casio mentioned naturally referred to the captured Candle Soul, who now appeared quite free, but in reality, his limbs had all turned into white bones.

He was incapable of movement and was in extremely poor condition.

Beside him, from the shadows of the side corridor, a deep darkness slowly flowed, exhibiting a semi-transparent texture. Clearly, this was the Evil Mother. She disguised her form with a totem, waiting for the fish to bite. A top-tier Combat Fighter concealed nearby would launch a sudden attack…

Even masters of the same realm would be caught off guard and suffer!

Yesterday, when Casio returned to the Experiment Site to check as usual, he suddenly noticed that someone had visited this hidden place. Suspecting that the members of the Door Organization had realized something was amiss, today, he had directly instructed the Evil Mother to prepare for combat. No matter who came, they would first be subdued by force.

Tap, tap, tap…

Footsteps approached gradually through the corridor in front of the Hall.

The Evil Mother in the shadow seemed eager to try her hand.

A tall silhouette appeared at the doorway, “It’s me.”

The Evil Mother, who was about to leap out, halted her movements. Her entire being, like a pool of black liquid, detached from the shadows and took on a human form. She walked over slowly, assuming the most common female appearance.

Casio stood at the doorway, looking at the Evil Mother and Candle Soul, clearly aware that there had been no gains. His gaze lowered slightly as he glanced at Candle Soul, who was as silent as a puppet. This member of the Door Organization was particularly tight-lipped, and Casio had basically obtained no useful information from him. He had also wanted to inquire about a certain experimental stone tablet…

Compared to other members of the Door Organization, such as Black Peacock and Purple General that Casio had encountered before, Candle Soul was undoubtedly more resolute, even to the extent of embracing death.

He would not expose any crucial information, especially regarding the leader of the Door Organization, Xiadu. Casio had speculated before that the Door Organization claimed to be a loose and equal entity, but there was definitely a hierarchy among its members. Members like Yangyan and Candle Soul, who were responsible for transforming dark creatures in experiments, were certainly core members, directly accountable to the leader Xiadu. The attitude now displayed was undoubtedly a loyalty to Xiadu.

So, did the leader Xiadu possess a charismatic personality? Or were some of his ideologies deeply accepted and followed by people like Candle Soul?

During the fourth Retrospection, Casio had interrogated Black Peacock about the situation in the Door Organization. It was mentioned that the official members within the organization were also divided into several factions, one of which closely followed the leader Xiadu. Moreover, their movements were mysterious, much like a secret cult with a doctrine. Orders issued by Xiadu would be carried out relentlessly by them, even at the cost of their lives. In contrast, the other factions seemed somewhat incongruent, all joining for various reasons or benefits.

It looked rather like a recruitment of professional outer-ring fighters.

After a few days of interrogation, Casio had clearly felt the difference between Candle Soul and other members of the Door Organization. Thus, he decisively gave up on the possibility of obtaining useful information from Candle Soul, deciding to use him merely as bait. Let’s see if any more fish could be hooked out of the darkness.

“Today seems to yield no results, we’ll continue tomorrow…”

Casio shifted his gaze to the Evil Mother.

“I must remind you, last night in the Florence district, I sensed the aura left by the totem. You should know what that means…” the Evil Mother paused, her expression deepening slightly.

“It doesn’t matter, I’m about to become a Shadow Hunter in the Association…” Casio said emotionlessly, “Those Totem Wizards from the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains, if they attack a Shadow Hunter from the Dark Hunt Organization, the Dark Hunt Organization will definitely not ignore it. After all, this is Florence, the Royal Capital of the Empire, and the Headquarters of the Dark Hunt Organization. The Door Organization wouldn’t dare to start an easy battle with the Dark Hunt here, they can only sneak around using despicable methods…”

“What I know is, the combat department of the Dark Hunt Organization, the Hunters Association, apparently has two top-tier Combat Fighter level strengths. Holy Light Hunter Dili Xia is definitely at that level, and you just had an encounter with him a few days ago. And this session’s number one Shadow Hunter seems also to possess strength close to a top-tier Combat Fighter. Apart from the Hunters Association, the Dark Hunt Organization has multiple other departments; though not specializing in combat, they definitely have reserves of combat strength, with figures like the Chief Inspector of the Black Mechanism firmly in place…”

This was not Casio exaggerating his strength, but the Dark Hunt Organization genuinely had such a foundation. It was not like the Black Mechanism of the future Federation which had even lost the most crucial constant power source, the Saint Fist Spring Water. The Dark Hunt Organization, since the establishment of the Hong Li Empire, had been handed down for at least a thousand years.

In addition to the reclusive and massive Secret Martial Arts World led by Xiadu, the Door Organization, and the peak-era Black Rain Villa, no other supernatural forces were a match for the Dark Hunt Organization, including the Totem Temple of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains. It was just that, because that group of Totem Wizards was too far away and located in such a remote place, the Dark Hunt Organization did not bother to intervene. Yet, the infiltration of Totem Wizards into the Royal Capital Florence was a different matter; there was a plot, a conspiracy!
