God-Like Extraction

Yes!

Su Jingxing decided to respond first to extract a card.

Then, spurred by curiosity, he crawled into the large hole.

The notification had stated "Barbarian Corpse", which meant that the barbarian was already dead.

There was nothing scary about a dead barbarian.

The hole had been smashed in one of the walls. On the other side of it, the floor was covered in loose bricks. A few metal shelves had been knocked over.

After crawling into the hole, Su Jingxing quickly studied his surroundings. His gaze fell on a heap of bricks and broken metal shelves.

More precisely——what was under the heap.

On the surface, the buried thing looked similar to broken metal shelves.

However, Su Jingxing, who had received a notification, knew that the thing beneath the bricks and metal shelves was a barbarian's corpse!

He walked closer and moved aside the metal frames and bricks, revealing the complete shape of the object.

Battle armor!

The corpse was nearly four meters tall, covered in armor from head to toe. Sharp weapons were installed on his vital areas—arms, palms, calves, feet and head. A clear palm print had been pressed into the chest area of the battle armor.

The dead barbarian was wearing mechanical battle armor?

Looking at its joints, exoskeleton, and weapons, the mechanical battle armor was quite high-tech.

Of course.

Su Jingxing could tell that this wasn't the kind of powerful mechas he had seen in animes and movies. It was more of an exoskeleton armor, except that it covered its user more tightly.

The palm print on the chest area of the battle armor was most likely left behind by Ouyang Feihu.

In other words, Ouyang Feihu had fought with this barbarian before he died.

Was the Black Tiger Gang Branch decimated by the organization who was hunting for the barbarian? The one with the deceased young man?

"Duan Feihong" and the young man had been working together previously?

Su Jingxing stood still, his eyes shining.

"Little Su, what are you standing there for? Come over and give me a hand."

Kong Dabao called out from the other side of the hole.

Coming back to his senses, Su Jingxing turned around. "Big Brother Dabao, something's not right here," he shouted. "There's something wrong with this corpse."

"Something wrong?" asked Kong Dabao. He walked through the hole with a puzzled look on his face. "What's going on? Aren't these just… Oh my goodness, what's this?"

Kong Dabao was taken aback by the sight of the mechanical battle armor.

Then, he quickly walked up, got down on all fours, and studied the mechanical battle armor carefully, as well as the palm print in its chest area. "T-there's someone inside?"

"Of course."

Su Jingxing said grimly. "Though I'm not sure who. Judging from the palm print on the chest of the armor, this person was fighting someone, and got killed by the impact of a palm strike."

The armor is intact, yet the person inside was dead. This could only mean that the power of the palm strike had penetrated…

"Hold on!"

exclaimed Kong Dabao at the sudden thought of something. "Wait, the person inside might not be dead yet!"

"…Not dead?" asked Su Jingxing, feigning incomprehension and raising his eyebrows. "Big Brother Dabao, are you saying that the person in the armor is still alive and could be a survivor…"

"Or the murderer!"

A voice boomed from behind them.

Wu Shouhan, Qi Zhaochen, and the others walked through the hole with grim expressions.

They had come to check out what was going on after overhearing Su Jingxing's conversation with Kong Dabao.

Unexpectedly, once they got a look, the expressions on their faces became especially interesting.

"Mechanical battle armor? Since when did the Black Tiger Gang develop technology?"

"Why are you pretending? This is obviously left behind by the murderer! The person inside is the murderer!"

"I didn't expect, really didn't expect the murderer to own such advanced technology."

"Quickly remove the helmet and see who the murderer is. With such a strong physique, he is definitely not a nobody."

"…"

As they spoke, they pulled off the helmets with brute force, revealing a rugged face that was bleeding from all five orifices and had stopped breathing.

Seeing this face, everyone, including Kong Dabao, was startled.

In the next second, Wu Shouhan quickly examined the corpse's pupils and teeth, his eyes filled with shock.

"This… this is a barbarian?"

"A barbarian in mechanical battle armor? Where did they get it?"

"Tss, the murderer is a barbarian? This is interesting, the murderer is a barbarian!"

"…"

Apart from Su Jingxing, everyone else present was stunned.

Qi Zhaochen's expression changed again and again. In the end, he whipped out his phone and dialed a number.

"Boss, the case is getting more and more complicated. There's a corpse of a barbarian at the scene!"

"…"

There was a moment of silence.

After a while, Su Jingxing heard an echo coming from the phone in Qi Zhaochen's hand.

"Got it. I'll report it to the Commander right away."

Then, he hung up.

Su Jingxing blinked and tugged on Kong Dabao's sleeve. The two of them left the room quietly.

What happens subsequently had nothing to do with him anymore.

Once the barbarian's corpse was exposed, there would naturally be people following up with it.

If Su Jingxing wasn't wrong, the "Commander" mentioned by Qi Zhaochen's superior should be the Commander of City Governance of Qinghe City's Martial Suppression Office, the number one expert in Qinghe, Li Linzhou!

With Li Linzhou joining in, "Duan Feihong" and the young man's faction would probably be very busy from now on.

As a small corpse collector, working hard was most important for Su Jingxing.

Therefore, he first went to the room where Ouyang Feihu's corpse was. After walking around, he extracted a card.

Then, Su Jingxing and the excited Kong Dabao continued to move the corpses.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, I didn't expect this. I really didn't think that there would be a barbarian involved in this case. That barbarian is really impressive. He actually wore battle armor, mechanical battle armor at that!"

"Little Su, tell me, what mastermind does the culprit have with the Black Tiger Gang? Why would they get a barbarian in mechanical battle armor to massacre them?"

"That mechanical battle armor is tough enough. If Ouyang Feihu wasn't here at night, Huang Boyi wouldn't have been able to finish off the barbarian behind alone!"

"Ouyang Feihu is a sixth-grade martial artist. In the end, he perished together with a barbarian in battle armor."

"We've finally solved the case!"

"None of the corpses we saw in the Dagger Gang headquarters in the afternoon and those here are complete. Haven't the barbarians always been like this? They love to tear the corpses into pieces and split them into seventy or eighty pieces!"

"…"

Even though Su Jingxing didn't respond, Kong Dabao kept mumbling to himself the entire way.

Although he was a little too excited, his analysis was not far from the truth.

The only thing that was missing was who the mastermind was!

…

On the streets.

At the perimeter of the blockade, the crowd still hadn't dispersed. Instead, more and more people were gathering.

These people ignored the advice of the security team and were excitedly having discussions among themselves.

When follow-up personnel from the Martial Suppression Division arrived, they made comments.

Each time the corpse transportation truck came and went, they made comments.

When leaders of the other forces in the Western District came, they continued to make comments.

Until…

"Look, there's someone in the sky!"

A cry of surprise rang out, causing the atmosphere to become even more lively.

"Tss! There's really someone here!"

"That's… Li Linzhou, Commander Li!?!"

"Gosh, I didn't expect Commander Li to come too. What kind of conspiracy has the Black Tiger Gang's matter dug out?"

"…"

The crowd went wild.

Even the security team personnel looked up at the sky.

In the night sky, a figure streaked across the sky like a wild goose and moved beneath the illumination of the moon. As it flashed, it landed at the entrance of Great Fortune Restaurant…
