Chapter 64: Chapter 32: Green Light

After resting on the road for a few minutes, Su Xiao barely managed to stand up.

His current life value is around 16%, and he’s extremely fatigued. Although the XT-12 Life Vitality Potion recovered most of his injuries, the massive blood loss and stamina exhaustion cannot be restored by the potion.

Above the Queen’s corpse, a blood-red card hovered.

The card was glowing red in the night, distinctly conspicuous.

Even from afar, Su Xiao could feel that the red glow seemed to emanate a bloody scent.

Su Xiao picked up the scarlet card, and Reincarnation Paradise’s prompt appeared.

[You have obtained a ’Scarlet Card,’ use it? Yes/No]

[Tip: ’Scarlet Cards’ are obtained after killing a Contractor, using one allows a random draw.]

[Tip: Each ’Scarlet Card’ grants three draw opportunities, randomly extracting items or equipment from the deceased Contractor’s storage space or worn gear.]

[Tip: The Ghoul world is a semi-peaceful scene, Contractors have a 50% chance of dropping a ’Scarlet Card’ upon death.]

...

Su Xiao didn’t immediately draw from the ’Scarlet Card’ but stored it into his storage space.

It’s not safe yet, and he can’t confirm whether there are other Contractors present.

Su Xiao approached a CCG member lying unconscious, leaving a trail of blood along the way.

He found a phone on the CCG member and, after a few seconds of recollection, dialed a number.

"Mr. Shinohara, my squad was attacked, I need backup."

Yukinori Shinohara, who was busy handling essential paperwork in the office, stood up with a start.

"Any casualties, where? I’m heading over right now."

Yukinori Shinohara is a dependable superior, rushing out of the office and starting to gather manpower.

"Not sure about the exact location, just trace this phone, as for casualties, Tokaji might have been lost, but I didn’t see his body."

Hearing that Shuuzou Suzuya might have been sacrificed, Yukinori Shinohara felt a tightness in his chest.

But this is the fate of a Ghoul Investigator, so Yukinori Shinohara didn’t say much more.

"First-class Bai Ye, how are you now, you sound seriously injured."

"I’m fine, I won’t die in a few hours. I’ll try my best to find Tokaji."

Tokaji was assigned to him by Yukinori Shinohara, and Tokaji had significantly aided him in battle. After hanging up, Su Xiao started searching for Shuuzou Suzuya nearby.

Not long after, Su Xiao found Shuuzou Suzuya in a shop by the street, the distinctive blood trail giving away his location.

Shuuzou Suzuya was lying face down in a clothing store, a large pool of blood beneath him.

Su Xiao turned over Shuuzou Suzuya, checking his vital signs.

Shuuzou Suzuya was indeed fortunate, with several gunshot wounds, none of which were in deadly areas.

"Cough~ cough."

Shuuzou Suzuya unconsciously coughed up a mouthful of blood, a slit in his eyes.

Su Xiao contemplated briefly, then took out a Salt Rice Ball and stuffed it into Shuuzou Suzuya’s mouth.

Shuuzou Suzuya was completely unaware, unable to make chewing motions,

But this wasn’t a problem for Su Xiao, who pressed his index and middle finger together and inserted them into Shuuzou Suzuya’s mouth.

"Ugh~."

Shuuzou Suzuya let out a mourning sound as the Salt Rice Ball got stuck in his throat.

Su Xiao watched as Shuuzou Suzuya’s body twitched, eyes wide, with a look of vengeful defiance gazing at him.

"Gulu."

The Salt Rice Ball got swallowed by Shuuzou Suzuya, who fainted again, perhaps never fully regaining consciousness.

Su Xiao wasn’t certain whether recovery foods were effective on plot characters, but since Suzuya had previously helped him, he would make an effort to save him—simple as that.

It can be said, without Shuuzou Suzuya’s assistance, the combined attack of Queen, Black and White, and Yezi might have killed Su Xiao.

Initially, Shuuzou Suzuya provided crucial resistance against Black and White.

After being barbarically fed a Salt Rice Ball by Su Xiao, in less than five minutes, Shuuzou Suzuya slowly woke up, proving the efficacy of restorative food.

"Mister Bai Ye, am I dead?"

"No, you’re still alive."

Su Xiao leaned against the side, lighting a cigarette, trying to move as little as possible as he’s covered in wounds, with blood slowly seeping out.

"That woman before was really strong, I almost got a headshot, how exhilarating~."

Shuuzou Suzuya showed no signs of post-ordeal relief, acting as usual.

"But Mister Bai Ye, my throat feels so sore, and my mouth feels uncomfortable too."

Su Xiao’s mouth twitched slightly as he rested his eyes.

"It’s your imagination."

"Really? But I taste food in my mouth, it felt like someone forcibly stuffed something in it just a while ago."

"Imagination."

Su Xiao maintained a meditative demeanor.

"Is that so? Strange."

Shuuzou Suzuya scratched his head, the gunshot wounds on him seeming nonexistent, possibly due to Shuuzou Suzuya’s passive ability (Masochist), which bizarrely converts pain into excitement.

Not long after, the outside became noisy as Yukinori Shinohara arrived with reinforcement.

"Bai Ye, First-class Bai Ye."

Yukinori Shinohara’s voice echoed.

Before Su Xiao could speak, Shuuzou Suzuya had already shouted.

"Mr. Shinohara~, we’re here."

Following Shuuzou Suzuya’s cry, Yukinori Shinohara rushed in with his men.

"Tokaji, so you’re okay."

Seeing Shuuzou Suzuya was still alive brought a smile to Yukinori Shinohara’s face.

"Bai Ye, how are you?"

Yukinori Shinohara stepped closer and was startled by Su Xiao’s condition.

"Hurry, call the medical personnel immediately."

Su Xiao’s severe injuries alarmed Yukinori Shinohara, prompting him to order the Investigators to find medical staff.

The medical team quickly arrived, and by this time, Su Xiao’s head was spinning slightly from excessive blood loss. After the XT-12 Life Vitality Potion healed his abdomen wounds, its effect weakened significantly, leaving most other injuries only partially healed.

"First-class Bai Ye, hang in there."

Upon reaching the scene, Yukinori Shinohara had roughly gauged the situation.

Su Xiao successfully cleared the auction site; the body bags strewn across the street were the best evidence.

From onsite explosions and bullet traces, it seemed an enemy had ambushed Su Xiao’s squad.

In CCG, such incidents weren’t uncommon, as they had to fend off Ghouls while preventing Ghoul retaliation.

Su Xiao was placed on a stretcher and urgently sent to CCG’s hospital for rescue. Lying in the same medical vehicle was also Shuuzou Suzuya.

Briefly relaxing, Su Xiao felt an urge to sleep from the significant blood loss, but he couldn’t afford it.

He harbored little trust in CCG; if one of the higher-ups suddenly ordered a Ghoul organ transplant into him, he would suffer a tremendous loss.

This scenario, however outrageous, wasn’t unfounded, with precedents albeit unexposed.

Therefore, throughout the medical process, Su Xiao remained conscious, refusing blood transfusion and any anesthetic injection from the doctors.

Thanks to the urgent treatment, his bleeding was staunched, and his injuries stabilized.

Lying on a warm and dry hospital bed, Su Xiao gradually fell asleep. At least in CCG’s hospital, he didn’t have to worry about threats from the Ghoul side.

Because of the excessive blood loss, Su Xiao only woke up after sleeping for more than ten hours, with his life value restored to 65%. Although the wounds still ached faintly, he was battle-ready.

Su Xiao sat up, leaning back on the hospital bed, feeling refreshed after over ten hours of sleep.

The room was pitch black, indicating it was still night.

With danger completely averted, Su Xiao smiled bitterly, lamenting that even a Level 3 Derivative World was fraught with peril.

With nothing else to do, he took out the previously acquired Green Treasure Chest and the Scarlet Card.

After a brief hesitation, Su Xiao decided to open the Green Treasure Chest first.

[Open Treasure Chest (Green)?]

He chose to open it.

This time, the opening of the chest was unlike any prior experience: as it slowly opened, a blinding green light emerged within, illuminating the entire ward...
