Reincarnation Paradise-Chapter 899: Sudden Change of Style?

Seven men and women stood near Su Xiao, vaguely forming a semi-circle around him. They were all superpowered individuals, with the weakest being at level 3 and the others at level 4.

Moreover, as these seven approached, the symbols representing emotions on their foreheads began to flash.

In Su Xiao's perception, these seven people were like puppets with strings connecting various parts of their bodies. These strings were of seven different colors, and above the seven was a large-headed baby with seven half-open eyes. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

Seeing this, the pale red aura around Su Xiao surged, and a beastly head appeared above him. The beast's eyes were blood-red, its mouth filled with sharp fangs, and it grinned menacingly as blood-red mist flowed from its mouth.

"This isn't good; it seems we've angered the hunter," said one of the Seven Deadly Sins.

Just as they finished speaking, Su Xiao received a notification from Reincarnation Paradise.

Receiving this notification, Su Xiao frowned. The natural body of the Seven Deadly Sins had arrived nearby. A kilometer was not far for most contractors, especially for an offender.

The previous words of the Seven Deadly Sins might have been a stalling tactic, waiting for their natural body to arrive and join these seven controlled superpowered individuals to attack Su Xiao.

A crow circled above the laboratory, its eyes marked with an alchemical array. Through this array, Su Xiao could share the crow's vision.

Su Xiao saw a hooded figure leaping between tall buildings through the shared vision.

The figure suddenly stopped and looked up at the crow. He revealed a somewhat handsome face covered in cracks like broken porcelain.

The figure stopped about 500 meters from the research institute, standing on a tall building and not advancing.

Seeing this, Su Xiao was puzzled. He had just fought a life-and-death battle with Accelerator and was seriously injured. His right arm, which held the knife, was numb, and Accelerator's reflection ability hurt his left arm. If it were Su Xiao, he would take action now.

However, the Seven Deadly Sins did not do this; instead, they maintained a safe distance from Su Xiao.

Su Xiao glanced at the seven superpowered individuals inside the research institute, stalling for time. Now, he had to hold off the Seven Deadly Sins.

Noisy footsteps came from the corridor behind, and a man and a dog rushed out. They were the snipers Yegor and Bubuwang.

Bubuwang had an old magic book in its mouth, the cover made of some animal skin. The book wasn't thick, about a finger's width. Yes, it was the End Code.

While Su Xiao stalled the Seven Deadly Sins in front, Bubuwang and Yegor seized the opportunity to grab the End Code. They succeeded, but Yegor had been shot several times, and the two-meter-tall man staggered.

Bubuwang handed the End Code to Su Xiao. A notification appeared, but Yegor collapsed behind him before he could check it.

Blood spread on the alloy floor. The bear-like man had fallen, his heart pierced by bullets. He had held on purely through sheer willpower.

"Your daughter is settled. By now, she should have been taken out of Academy City long ago, possibly already received by Tina Gregory."

Upon hearing this, Yegor's pupils began to dilate. His heart was shot through, he had lost a lot of blood, his internal organs were damaged, his lungs were in shock, and his brain was severely hypoxic. Even a third-tier healer couldn't save him. He should have collapsed long ago but waited for Su Xiao to say this.

"Mission... accomplished..."

Yegor lost all signs of life and lay forever in the cold research institute. Meanwhile, in an airport in a small European country, a female soldier was holding a 6 or 7-year-old girl whose face was as pale as a porcelain doll.

This was Yegor's daughter. He joined the Hound Squad because she had a rare disease that made her bones as fragile as porcelain. Fractures were common for her.

Faced with such an incurable disease, Yegor thought of Academy City. With its advanced science, the city could cure such a disease decades ahead of the outside world.

However, entering Academy City was easy, and it left work accessible. Both father and daughter were 'trapped' in Academy City. Without permission, they would spend their lives there. Yegor's job was to kill people, and his daughter would eventually be developed as a superpowered being and become a 'test subject.'

Yegor exchanged his life for his daughter's freedom. He had killed the elderly, children, and women on the battlefield, and today, he died.

Yegor always knew invading the research institute with Su Xiao meant he might die. Even if he didn't, he couldn't leave. But this was what he wanted. As long as his daughter was safe, it was worth it. In return, before turning against Aleister, Su Xiao used his authority as the Dark Division Leader to send Yegor's daughter out of Academy City.

Su Xiao was always faithful to his promises. Yegor's daughter was quickly sent to a peaceful, small European country.

Bubuwang sadly looked down at Yegor's body, knowing a new enemy had arrived.

Yegor's body lay on the ground, his death not looking great, but he was smiling. He had a black backpack on his back, about a meter long and half a meter wide, containing who knows what. This was the 'insurance' Su Xiao had arranged, which Yegor always carried, keeping the barrel-shaped backpack intact even when shot.

Su Xiao glanced at Reincarnation Paradise's notification and felt relieved.

...

Su Xiao's current mission in the Index world had no main task, so he could return to Reincarnation Paradise after completing the advancement task.

However, the hunting task was not complete. Leaving now would have serious consequences. Although there would be no punishment, the result of the last unfinished hunting task was still fresh in his mind. He would be forcibly thrown into a war world to act as a Judicator. The Judicator's role was troublesome as it couldn't directly interfere in the war. If the allied contractors were ineffective, he could die unjustly.

"Hunter, are you planning to leave?"

The arrogance controlled by the Seven Deadly Sins spoke. Their intelligence was limited, and they didn't know the consequences of Su Xiao's unfinished hunting task.

"If you make a deal with me, you won't regret it. Not to mention combat power, I'm very confident in my intelligence-gathering abilities."

The Seven Deadly Sins wasn't boasting. Given their previous performance, more than 95% of same-tier intelligence dealers couldn't match their knowledge. This was likely due to their unique abilities.

"Let me explain my situation first. I'm different from other offenders. I was forced to violate the rules. To be precise, I didn't break Reincarnation Paradise's rules, but some idiot took control of my mind and body, completely disregarding the rules. Absolutely... idiotic!"

The arrogance controlled by the Seven Deadly Sins gnashed their teeth.
