Chapter 321 is that this world is too cruel(1/2)
"The gods are also very kind." Su Mingan said.
From this history, it seems that although Su Lin's plan played a big role in saving Praia, it was mainly because the god in Yunshang City agreed to their request.
"Yes." Elras clasped his hands together with a very pious expression: "Every living resident in Praia will be extremely grateful to that kind god."
His tone was very sincere, like a devout Christian who was unpretentious.
Su Mingan has noticed that the people in Praia respect the god in Yunshang City very much, as if everyone is a believer.
After all, the benevolent god saved all of their lives.
"By the way, after listening to your report about last night's mission, you said there was a problem with the Soul Hunting Intelligence Department?" After a brief prayer, Ellas put down his hands and started to get down to business.
"Yes." Su Mingan said: "After I entered the Huajie stronghold, I met an S-class soul clan whose strength is no less than mine."
"Can you describe the appearance of that S-class soul clan?"
"He is a gentleman-like old man, wearing a top hat and leaning on a cane."
"It turns out it's Archerev..." Alras thought for a while: "Judging from the collection of corpses, he's not inside. Did he...escape?"
"Yes." Su Mingan said.
"What a surprise." Elras's eyes flashed: "You are indeed a descendant of Master Su Lin. Even high-ranking soul clans like Alcherev can only run away in embarrassment."
"Perhaps he also has some scruples." Su Ming'an said: "There are discords within the Soul Clan. They show no signs of uniting and will only scatter when they encounter danger."
"That's right." Elras tapped his finger on the table: "...after all, they are just a bunch of beasts who only know how to eat souls and are dominated by desires. If the night had not become their protective barrier, these guys would have been killed long ago.
They should be exterminated."
His tone was very harsh, containing deep contempt and hatred for this race.
"But even if they are such a group of unworthy guys, I have to admit that they have been a little arrogant recently." Ellas narrowed his eyes: "...I recently received news that this group of people are fighting on their own.
This guy seems to have found a new strategist who can bring them together."
"military adviser?"
"It should be a new soul clan who knows how to command battles." Ellas pulled out a piece of paper, on which was written a failed battle report: "The No. 36 extermination operation in the West District was precisely because of the soul clan.
A sudden change in the tribe's strategy led to failure. The soul tribe secretly sneaked into the soul hunting team and planted bombs in our stronghold... It's strange that such controlled items can only be used by loyal soul hunters who have been tested by the detection stone.
You can only apply for it, I don’t know how these soul clans got it..."
After hearing this, Su Mingan roughly understood.
It's the players who are meddling.
He can sneak into Soul Hunting as a Soul Tribe, and naturally there are players who can play a role in the Soul Tribe camp. They can take advantage of the player's special characteristics, communicate with the team over long distances, understand the Soul Hunting tactics, and control them through teammates from different camps.
War situation.
This is also the reason why Su Mingan is unwilling to act with his team. He cannot judge whether his teammates will betray his own camp information.
Moreover, from Ellas's words, he could also tell that there was a Soul player who knew very well about command and tactics from the Soul clan.
In a dungeon with tens of thousands of people, you should not only consider the plot of the NPCs, but also consider the special nature of this group of fourth natural disasters.
"So...Su Lin." Ellas sat on the chair, looking directly at him: "In view of your perfect performance in the battle last night, I would like to give you some more important tasks."
Su Mingan looked at him.
"Although you successfully completed an extremely dangerous mission last night, recently, the soul hunter side has really been unable to mobilize manpower, and you are an extremely rare and reassuring S-level soul hunter..."
Elras said and suddenly stood up.
The chair made a harsh sound as Ellas stood up, faced him, and suddenly bent over.
The leader with the highest authority in the soul hunting camp bowed deeply to him at this moment:
"...I still want to ask you to accept these missions that are too dangerous for ordinary soul hunting."
Su Mingan also stood up.
"I'll take it," he said.
In his eyes, danger = high difficulty = high reward = suitable for him.
Dangerous tasks are often closer to the route of perfect clearance. In order to ensure that he always leads the way in this dungeon, he needs to accept these difficult tasks.
"Thank you." Ellas straightened up and said with emotion: "I didn't expect... Even after so many years, Su Lin and his descendants are still guarding the land of Praia..."
He handed a portfolio to Su Mingan.
Su Mingan took a quick look.
This is a cleaning task.
The so-called "cleaning" means that the soul hunter goes to the area at night and kills the hunting souls. Then he follows the clues and kills other souls hiding in the dark in turn, until there are no souls in this area.
Cleanup tasks often last for more than ten days until no more residents die in the area.
According to a report from the East District 13th Street Ghost Hunting Information Department, the 13th Street that was clearly cleared by ghost hunters five days ago has seen deaths of residents again at night.
The Soul Hunting Department suspects that there are fish that have slipped through the net that have been missed by the soul hunters in this area.
Because it is suspected that there is something wrong with the cleaning team itself, the priority of this cleaning task has been increased, and a higher-level soul hunter is needed to conduct a second cleaning to find the soul clan hidden in Thirteenth Street.
"I understand." Su Mingan looked at the map and unexpectedly discovered that Thirteenth Street in the East District was the area where he lived.
No wonder the neighbor's granddaughter Lele was so wary of him. It turned out that there were indeed deaths in that area.
"There are a total of thirty streets in the East District, and the cleaned blocks are from the 1st to the 16th street." Ellas said: "The soul hunting personnel are limited, and we can only guarantee that some blocks are absolutely safe. But after being guaranteed to be 'absolutely safe'
However, there are casualties again in the neighborhood... This is a great challenge to the majesty of the soul hunter.
At night, the neighborhoods of Praia will be tightly cordoned off, and residents will consciously stop going out. If there is still a Soul Clan in the area after cleaning, it can only mean that this Soul Clan is hidden deep among the residents."
"I will pay attention to the situation on Thirteenth Street tonight." Su Mingan said.
"Well, you are a person who lives there, so you won't arouse the suspicion of the soul clan. Just pay attention to whether any suspicious people go out at night. In addition, regarding your reaction, there is a problem with the ghost in the Soul Hunting Intelligence Department.
We will pay attention to it." Ellas said seriously: "I have already arranged the inspection task, and will conduct a comprehensive inspection of the Soul Hunters of the Intelligence Department in the near future to ensure that no souls are mixed in."
"Even if it's not the soul clan, there may be someone who can pass on the message." Su Ming'an reminded.
He knows that the spy in the Intelligence Department is most likely a player.
Then, regardless of whether the player is a soul clan or a soul hunter, this player will transmit information to the outside world, and large-scale detection will not detect anything.
"...I understand." Ellas clenched his fists.
Faced with the fact that there might be something wrong with Soul Hunter itself, he looked very sad.
Su Mingan was flipping through the paper in his hand and suddenly heard movement outside the door.
There was a burst of rapid footsteps, accompanied by an extremely frivolous call:
"Elras - my dear Elras, look who's here -"
Su Ming'an turned around and saw a man with yellow hair, wearing a leather jacket and a dozen earrings hanging from his ears walking in.
Behind the yellow-haired man followed a young man with a completely different style of painting. The moment he saw the young man, the word "knight" immediately popped into Su Mingan's mind.
There is no other reason. This young man following the man with a subtle smile fits people's impression of a knight very well.
The young man wore a suit of light iron armor, a golden sword at his waist, his hair was as golden as the sun, and his smile seemed to be contagious, making people unable to feel disgusted just by looking at him.
He stood there, staring quietly into the room. His bright green, clear pupils were as clear as a mirror, as if they could reflect people's shadows dyed with light.
"Ask, you guy." Elras laughed and cursed, as if he was very familiar with the yellow-haired man in front of him: "The mess in the West District hasn't been solved yet, but you came to the Central Department."
"Are you not feeling relaxed? I'm running around mobilizing troops here and there, and you're sitting here comfortably in the office... I still want to ask, what kind of immortals are coming from the Soul Clan? Forcefully put this gang together
Idiots have united together, and now wherever we clean the area, there are guys who are ambushing us in advance." The yellow-haired young man complained.
"Introduction, this is the Minister of Soul Hunting in the West, Eske." Ellas patted Su Mingan on the shoulder: "Ask, this is the new S-level soul hunter, a descendant of Master Su Lin, also known as
Su Lin."
"Wow." Esk exclaimed exaggeratedly: "Here comes another new talent? I heard that he was the one who led last night's Flower Street mission. Finally, a reliable newcomer has arrived. The quality of the recent newcomers
All of them have their noses in the air. They either have poor adaptability or like to act without permission. If we don’t get someone who can do something, I will really be pissed to death by this group of newcomers.”
Su Mingan was speechless.
It seems that the destructive power of that group of players is really impressive, even the head of the Western District is having such a headache.
After all, everyone feels that they are born to be the protagonist, and players who dare to die basically want to make a splash. They like to act without authorization and look down on NPCs... these have become the labels of most people.
Elras chatted with Eske for a few more words, and then introduced the knight-like young man behind him to Su Mingan.
"This is Xie Lude, a knight of light from Yunshang Church. He is the strongest newcomer who has just received the blessing from the gods and has shown A-level soul hunting ability." Ellas said to Su Mingan: "Xie Lude is
The soul hunter is currently the most promising warrior and has the best chance of breaking through to the S-level existence. This kid is good at everything, but he lacks combat experience. Su Lin, I know you look down on those B-level and C-level soul hunters.
But you can take this kid with you in subsequent combat missions, he is trustworthy."
Su Mingan glanced at Xie Lude.
The pair of bright green eyes met his gaze. Sherrod noticed him and looked over, smiling at him.
"Hello, respected S-class soul hunter." Xie Lude bowed, and the scabbard and armor made a sound.
