Chapter 1633: The Undead Violator

Bennie stared at the members of the Blood Gate, Bubu Wang tracked the three of Stan, A Mu was responsible for Rin Tohsaka’s safety, and Su Xiao finally had his hands free to deal with the Violator. This hunting task was somewhat special.

[Hunting Task: Eliminate Violator No. 10777.]

Task Brief: Use any means to eliminate the Violator.

Task Information: This Violator is an invading Contractor. Due to Initial Regulations, he can’t be executed forcibly.

Task Deadline: Before leaving this Derivative World.

Task Reward: Golden Honor Medal ×7

Task Punishment: None

…

An invading Contractor, if understood literally, is a Contractor who ‘smuggled’ in from another Paradise, for unknown reasons into Reincarnation Paradise. According to Initial Regulations, Reincarnation Paradise can’t forcibly execute him, so Su Xiao had to do the job and eliminate him.

Based on the intelligence Su Xiao gathered in the past few days, this Violator became increasingly active. He didn’t show up at all during the first two days, but on the third day, he tentatively acted, kidnapping several female students to relieve boredom before hiding again.

By the fourth day, this guy started getting more reckless. If Su Xiao’s intel was correct, he kidnapped at least a hundred civilians, regardless of age or gender.

As for the fifth day, the guy had become utterly brazen, perhaps thinking there were no Hunters in this world.

The actions of this Violator puzzled Su Xiao—how could such a weakling become a Fourth-tier Violator? And be worth seven Golden Honor Medals?

Su Xiao seriously doubted that even a Second-tier Violator wouldn’t be as blatant as this one, rampantly kidnapping civilians in the Derivative World. At first, this guy was somewhat cautious, but after grabbing some female students, he began to be bold and reckless.

If Stan hadn’t continuously stalled Su Xiao, he would have confronted the Violator long ago, but now, the time had come.

Su Xiao leapt from the rooftop, leaving Bennie licking her paws. As soon as he landed, he arrived at a manhole cover, opened it, and jumped into the foul-smelling sewer system.

Splashes of murky sewage flew, Su Xiao put on a gas mask, and proceeded according to the underground drainage network displayed on his tablet.

Beep, Beep, Beep…

Electronic sounds came from the tablet. Su Xiao didn’t know the Violator’s exact location, only that he was hiding in the sewer. At least, the last image he received yesterday showed the Violator jumping into a manhole.

Based on the drainage network of Fuyuki City, Su Xiao started navigating the sewer. Although the drainage network seemed dense and intricate, most of it consisted of pipes; only about a dozen main channels could accommodate human passage.

As long as the distance between the Violator and Su Xiao was less than a kilometer, the hunting function would activate. Considering the size of Fuyuki City, combined with the sewers compressing the range, there was a high probability of finding the Violator as long as he hadn’t left Fuyuki City.

[Warning, hunting function is activated.]

[Violator’s position is locked, generating simulated map.]

…

A virtual 3D map appeared in front of Su Xiao. On the map, a red dot gradually moved, representing the Violator.

Bang, the mud water splashed under Su Xiao’s feet, and he disappeared into the sewer in a few steps. Following the map’s markings, he traveled several hundred meters, made six or seven turns, and a figure appeared in the distance within the sewer.

A burly man with broad shoulders, he carried two people on his shoulders, one a skinny man with a face full of bloodstains, the other a girl in a short-skirt school uniform, similar to Rin Tohsaka’s school attire.

Hearing footsteps, the burly man immediately turned to look at Su Xiao. Seeing Su Xiao with a long knife in hand, he threw the skinny man and the girl off his shoulders and fled deeper into the sewer.

Watching the burly man gradually move away, Su Xiao didn’t pursue, feeling the Violator was mocking his intelligence.

D·Assassin appeared in Su Xiao’s hand, the muzzle pointed at the skinny man half-soaked in sewage.

Pop, Pop, Pop…

Seven consecutive shots killed the skinny man, who staggered in the sewage, his body erupting with bloody holes.

“I almost forgot, you Hunters all have tracking abilities, this move doesn’t work.”

The skinny man stood up, his wounds healing at an uncanny speed, no longer appearing skinny. In the distance, the burly man fell and quickly lost his breath. Despite his words, the Violator didn’t really want to feign death to escape; he intended to ambush Su Xiao while he chased the burly man.

Sewage dripped from the Violator’s cheeks, he looked quite ordinary, early twenties, medium build, now sizing up Su Xiao.

“How about we talk? We don’t have to be enemies, right?”

Tearing his tattered shirt, the Violator walked towards Su Xiao slowly.

Pop.

A bullet penetrated the Violator’s brow. His head recoiled, but the next moment, his shattered skull regrew quickly, the bloody hole in his brow was smoothed over.

“So, no talking, huh? But did you know there are thousands of aquatic creatures in this sewage?”

Swoosh.

Blade aura slashed across the Violator’s throat. Su Xiao simultaneously put away D·Assassin and Dragon Slash; the Soul Walker dagger appeared in his hand. For an enemy with such abnormal recovery ability, Soul Walker was the best choice.

The blade aura cut through, Blue Steel Shadow energy seeped into the Violator’s neck. His smile vanished, the stinging inside telling him that the light blue energy had harmed him.

The blood mark on the Violator’s neck quickly disappeared. He bent over, reaching into the sewage with one hand.

“To give you life.”

As the Violator finished his words, various insects appeared in the sewage, their sizes magnified tens of times, mostly beetles.

“Chirp!”

The various insects emitted hissing sounds, likely numbering in hundreds, nearly blocking the sewer. With a finger snap from the Violator, these insects charged at Su Xiao.

“Kill, kill to your heart’s content, these little things numbered in billions in the sewers, so I’ll take my leave.”

The Violator muttered softly, waving his hand at Su Xiao with his back turned. From start to finish, he maintained a lazy attitude. It wasn’t arrogance; this guy simply didn’t care whether he lived or died. If he died, so be it, if he continued to live, he wouldn’t mind either. The Violator was indifferent to all life, including his own.

Swoosh!

The blade’s crisp resonance attracted the Violator’s attention unwittingly. He turned his head to the scene in front, hundreds of overlapping blade auras appeared, slicing all those insects to bits.

Slash, Slash!

Two slash marks appeared on the Violator’s neck and waist, Su Xiao cutting him into three parts. Su Xiao now stood behind the Violator, holding the Soul Walker.

“Oh? It seems I can’t recover.”

The Violator’s head fell into the sewage, his two legs charged at Su Xiao, greeted by dozens of blade auras.

“Brother, you’re tougher than the Hunters I’ve encountered before. Seems you can kill me.”

The Violator’s head spoke, Su Xiao frowned further. He couldn’t figure out what this thing was, only knowing it wasn’t human.

“My head is over here, chop on this side…”

Crack, Su Xiao stomped and crushed the Violator’s head. This guy was a super chatterbox, even worse than the Death Omen he encountered before. However… this guy seemed extremely hard to kill.
