Chapter 1381: Chapter 3: Country of Freedom

Upon seeing his own personnel, Su Xiao frowned deeply.

The names of the Ghost Lady, the People’s Teacher, and others, Su Xiao had heard of them; they were members of the same Adventure Group, the Angry River Adventure Group.

The Angry River Adventure Group was quite well-known within the Fourth Tier. They, along with the Divine Emperor and Blood Gate, were Large Adventure Teams, with similar fame, but their hard power was slightly weaker than that of the Divine Emperor and Blood Gate.

Among the more than 400 Contractors, more than half should be from Angry River; the rest were from other Adventure Groups, a couple here and there, and Angry River was the representative force of the Adventure Groups this time.

As for the Lone Rangers, besides Su Xiao, Gulu and Old Smoke appeared. With Old Smoke here, it’s no surprise that Mizaki is probably in this warzone too.

Every time he thought of the name Mizaki, Su Xiao always felt as if he had heard it somewhere before, giving a strong ambiguous feeling.

Besides these people, there were also many Lone Rangers. Although Su Xiao didn’t recognize who they were, they were all quite powerful.

Among those who had already appeared, Gulu and the People’s Teacher were the two strongest Contractors. The People’s Teacher temporarily represented the Angry River Adventure Group because Angry River’s leader seemed not to have plans to appear just yet.

A spatial fluctuation came, and several hundred more Contractors were teleported to the Stellarspace Transit Station. As soon as these people appeared, they caught the attention of Reincarnation Paradise and Apocalypse Paradise factions.

The last to appear were the Contractors from Holy Sanctuary Paradise. For some reason, they were all neatly dressed in gold and black robes.

"Those God Sticks have arrived."

Gulu murmured, seemingly wanting to laugh at the expression.

"Gulu, do you know anything about Holy Sanctuary Paradise?"

The People’s Teacher pushed up his glasses, his face expressionless throughout. It wasn’t that he was pretending, but he genuinely had no emotional fluctuations; it was an illness that needed treatment, and Bubu Wang specialized in treating blank expressions.

"In summary, they’re just a bunch of God Sticks."

Gulu shrugged, appearing quite adorable when she wasn’t killing. As for when she was killing...

"God Sticks?"

The People’s Teacher clearly didn’t understand what Gulu meant.

"What religion do they follow?"

The Ghost Lady looked at those hundreds of neatly arrayed Contractors who were staring straight in this direction. Even without thinking too much, one could tell these guys must be incredibly united.

"What religion do they believe in, uh~"

Gulu had a candy in her mouth and couldn’t answer the question for the moment.

It wasn’t that Gulu had poor language expression abilities; her sharp tongue was not below that of the late Little Sister Xira of the Divine Emperor.

The situation with Holy Sanctuary Paradise is somewhat complex. If Reincarnation Paradise Contractors advocate power, freedom, and being unrestrained, then Holy Sanctuary Paradise values faith. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Don’t think these Contractors are all fanatics. They are smart. Holy Sanctuary Paradise doesn’t believe in a single deity; as long as something can be called a god, they ’believe’ in it to gain power, not avoiding anything.

As for why the Holy Sanctuary Paradise faction is so united, the reason is simple: they are all members of one religious sect. Within Reincarnation Paradise, there are Adventure Groups, within Apocalypse Paradise there are various organizations, and in Holy Sanctuary Paradise there are sects. In fact, these three are similar types of groups.

Typical of Holy Sanctuary Paradise’s Contractors are the believer Siberian Huskies; they follow whichever sect is dominant. Despite this, do not underestimate their combat strength. The punishment mechanism of Holy Sanctuary Paradise is weaker than Reincarnation Paradise but much stronger than Apocalypse Paradise.

"Roar, roar, roar..."

The unified shouting came from Holy Sanctuary Paradise. Hearing these shouts, Contractors from Apocalypse Paradise looked at each other, bewildered—their first impression was, is this some kind of cult organization? The lunatics from Reincarnation Paradise are trouble enough, and now there’s this? The Apocalypse Paradise babies felt bitter in their hearts.

"Unexpected sorrow."

Gulu laughed out loud, not knowing what part of the Holy Sanctuary Paradise faction hit her funny bone. The reason was simple: their shouting reminded Gulu of square dance Big Moms.

"I can’t fully understand your thought process."

The Ghost Lady gently rubbed her forehead, feeling that the people from Holy Sanctuary Paradise would be hard to handle. In terms of unity, they would absolutely crush Reincarnation Paradise.

The Ghost Lady looked around at her own side: men covered in blood energy, who looked like evil men at first glance, a laughing little girl who kills without blinking, an old man preaching rebellion and recruiting ’rebellion army members,’ and the expressionless People’s Teacher.

Suddenly, the Ghost Lady felt the future was bleak. Their combat strength was undoubtedly strong, but what they would do could only be known to the heavens. No, maybe even the heavens wouldn’t know.

At this moment, the Ghost Lady suddenly felt herself quite normal, an superiority feeling from being among a group of lunatics.

"G-Ghost Lady, gr... "

The Contractor who had carved his own cheek open spoke, but with air escaping through his mouth, the Ghost Lady couldn’t hear clearly what he was saying, only that wonderful feeling that she was the normal one became stronger.

However, in the eyes of Apocalypse Paradise Contractors, she was still a dangerous woman akin to a scorpion.

[Announcement: Long-distance spatial teleportation is ready and will reach the destination soon.]

Su Xiao’s vision went black, and the familiar feeling of teleportation reappeared.

...

Clang!

The sound of metal clashing came, and Su Xiao’s eyes opened. He was lying on a bed, dressed in grey clothes, with a few holes in his short-sleeved top.

[Announcement: Food, fresh water resources have been sealed.]

Before Su Xiao could ascertain his whereabouts, bad news came. The food and fresh water stored in his storage space were sealed. Fortunately, other items except food and water could be used. Besides, it wasn’t just him experiencing this; the prompt was in the form of an announcement, meaning it was the same for Contractors from all three paradises.

Bubu Wang and A Mu were not teleported nearby Su Xiao. He didn’t contact them for now and instead observed his surroundings.

Su Xiao found himself in a single room with an iron bed whose four legs were embedded in the cement floor. The room was only about ten square meters, with a rusty toilet in the corner that was flushable.

The entire room appeared somewhat dated; the surrounding three walls were concrete with many words engraved on them. In front was an iron-barred door, securely locked.

The room was faintly filled with a musty smell and a vague sweetness that reminded Su Xiao of the distinctive scent of his middle school dormitory.

He was all too familiar with his current environment; this was a prison cell. From the furnishings and the quality of the metal bars, it could be inferred that this was a world not too technologically backward.
