Chapter 1437 - 59: Overload Perception

Chapter 1437: Chapter 59: Overload Perception

The chaotic battle stopped, and the factory quieted down, leaving only the sound of steam gushing.

"That...handsome guy over there."

A voice came from behind the machine where the healer was hiding, it should be an old compressor, and because it was shot through with several holes, it was now leaking machine oil.

The healer from Apocalypse Paradise hid behind the compressor, her body curled up, tears in her eyes. Her fear was understandable; even the healers in Reincarnation Paradise aren’t that strong, let alone the ones from Apocalypse Paradise.

After witnessing her teammates being slaughtered like chickens, this pretty-looking healer was in despair, but her instinct for survival kept her from giving up. She was ready to pay a price to survive.

"I’m a non-combat support personnel, according to Apocalypse, no, from a humanitarian perspective, also not right..."

The more the healer spoke, the more desperate she became. The rules of Apocalypse Paradise, those in Reincarnation Paradise obviously wouldn’t abide by them, and as for humanitarianism, don’t be ridiculous. These madmen almost flattened Lubei City—they don’t care about those rules.

"I surrender!!"

The healer shouted and simultaneously took out a scroll, hiding it in her sleeve, ready to use it at any time.

"Okay."

Su Xiao spoke, sheathing the Dragon Slash, and tossed D·Assassin into his right hand, pointing the muzzle at the compressor where the healer was.

Ripping sound, the healer tore her upper garment, half-exposing herself, with an overwhelming allure, she manually adjusted her posture to enhance her charm, raising her hands, she slowly poked her head out from behind the compressor.

Poof.

A subtle gunshot spread, a bullet pierced through the healer’s skull, and she collapsed with a thud.

Golden light wrapped around the wound on the healer’s head, lying on the ground, her eyes wide open in anger, her fingers twitching unconsciously.

Su Xiao approached the compressor, aiming his gun at the fallen healer.

"Wh...y."

Poof, poof.

Two bullets pierced through the healer’s heart and throat, and she immediately fell silent.

On this battlefield, whether from position or situation, any Apocalypse Paradise Contractor remaining in Lubei City is an enemy, and it is foolish to show mercy to an enemy. Some seemingly weak enemies can actually unleash astonishing damage.

Like this healer, the disposable scroll inside her sleeve, judged by Reincarnation Paradise standards, is a Legendary One-Time Attack Item.

The healer appeared weak, but no one is clueless. They find ways to protect themselves, and powerful disposable items are their best choice.

Eight people ambushed Su Xiao, five died, three fled.

Is that truly the case? Not really, this team had nine members in total.

On the steel frames above the factory roof, a young boy squatted on a steel beam. His attire leaned towards femininity, about one and a half meters tall, and at this moment, he dared not move.

The boy was the perception type of the team, thus he did not act during combat. Moreover, his specialization in perception gave him very strong ability to shield his perception, so Su Xiao did not notice him.

Su Xiao had mastered the intuition ability for a long time. This ability could not be improved within Reincarnation Paradise, but as he used it, this ability could rapidly improve, now the intuition ability reached Level 32.

Even with intuition ability improved to Level 32, the perception range is still not large, with a diameter of 16 meters and a radius of 8 meters, forming an invisible circle, anything that enters this circle can be detected by Su Xiao.

From mastering the intuition ability, Su Xiao understood that intuition wasn’t a large-scale perception type of ability. Based on his research in Pirate World, the intuition’s sensitivity to capture enemy attacks was over seven times that of Observation Haki at the same level.

To obtain something, you must sacrifice something. The intuition’s boost to close combat is evident, but the range is sacrificed.

After reaching Level 32 with intuition ability, Su Xiao had mastered a new ability or dodge technique, which he used in combat with Buck and defeated him.

[Intuition Level 32 (Passive)]

Skill Effect (Passive): Forms a perception circle with a diameter of 16 meters and a radius of 8 meters. Any attack entering the perception circle, even if the subjective consciousness is not in a vigilant state, the body can automatically dodge.

Perception Strength: 20+31 points (basic strength + Intelligence Attribute × 35%),

Notice: When Perception Strength reaches 20 points, it is possible to dodge as soon as the enemy’s attack enters the perception circle (mastered).

Notice: When Perception Strength reaches 50 points, it is possible to overload perception force, thereby achieving the effect of unilaterally slowing down enemy attack speed. This is the overload perception status (mastered).

Notice: When Perception Strength reaches 100 points, it is possible to predict the enemy’s attack within the perception circle in advance, and discern the enemy’s attack direction based on their initiating actions (not mastered).

Notice: When Perception Strength reaches 200 points, it is possible to predict the future attacks of enemies within the perception circle, with prediction time between 0.23~0.51 seconds in advance (not mastered),

Notice: This skill cannot be improved in Reincarnation Paradise, and can only be improved through the Hunter’s own training.

...

Due to the distance, Su Xiao did not notice the Contractor on the upper steel beam, and this Contractor certainly wouldn’t jump down boldly, roaring: ’Dare to fight with me?’

He saw how five of his teammates died, especially the last healer’s death made him realize that the guy below doesn’t make sense. Once exposed, even if he could bring the dead back to life with speech, that guy would just shoot him in the head a few more times.

Clap, clap, clap...

The sparse sound of applause came, and Su Xiao turned the gun muzzle. This time, his luck wasn’t good; after killing these enemies, no treasure chest dropped.

"I’ve heard much of your great name, Brother Bai Ye, meeting you today proves your reputation true."

A man wearing a suit, with a plain appearance, walked into the factory.

"What’s up?"

Su Xiao put away D·Assassin. He had not seen this suited man before, but the other party was on his side.

"Apologies, I forgot to introduce myself, I am Qing Ye."

Qing Ye stopped ten meters away from Su Xiao, understanding the consequences of recklessly approaching a close-combat fighter. Even if the other is an ally, Qing Ye couldn’t guarantee that an ally wouldn’t cut off his head. Allies in Reincarnation Paradise need to be treated cautiously.

"Qing Ye..."

Su Xiao nodded. Although Qing Ye seemed unremarkable, one’s abilities aren’t determined by their appearance or background.

Qing Ye wasn’t clear why he sought Su Xiao out. He didn’t immediately state his intentions, while the Apocalypse Paradise Contractor crouching on the upper steel beam held his breath, his only thought being ’Can’t the two below go out to talk?’

What Su Xiao and Qing Ye would discuss, this Contractor wasn’t curious at all. The thick villain boss vibe from the two below made him very uneasy.

"Come out, hiding any longer has no meaning. If you’re willing to answer a few questions, I’ll personally guarantee a way to live."

Upon hearing Qing Ye’s words, the Contractor on the steel beam felt a surge in his bladder and looked at Qing Ye in disbelief.

Su Xiao was somewhat puzzled, he looked around, and when his gaze went upward to the steel beams, he felt as if someone was staring back at him.

This gaze, so akin to an illusion, wasn’t ignored by Su Xiao. D·Assassin appeared in his hand.

Poof, poof, poof...

When Su Xiao fired the third shot, a bloom of blood appeared from nowhere, and after the eighth shot, a body crashed through the factory’s glass, with a crash, glass shards scattered, and the body fell outside the factory.

"There really was someone."

Qing Ye clicked his tongue in wonder. His previous words were merely out of caution.

"Brother Bai Ye..."

Qing Ye’s voice grew softer, and only then did he reveal his purpose.
