Chapter 886: Suffocation



Chapter 886: Suffocation

Su Xiao looked at the bar's female owner, considering his words before speaking: "Selina Gabrielle Virginia..."

He paused. Seeing this, Awaki Musujime elbowed Su Xiao and mouthed something silently.

"Uh... right, Karina Salome. What a ridiculous name; it's so long."

As Su Xiao uttered the bar owner's full name, the noise in the bar ceased, and all the patrons turned their attention to Su Xiao and Awaki Musujime.

"So, they have come," Selina squinted her eyes dangerously, her thin lips painted with black lipstick pressed tightly together. If she were to be compared to an animal, it would be a venomous, vibrantly colored snake.

"Everyone, my trouble has arrived," Selina licked her lips, standing protectively in front of the patrons.

"Someone has the guts to mess with the Flower Serpent."

"Flower Snake, just as we discussed, if we solve this problem for you, tonight you're mine."

Dozens of patrons stood up, pulling out various guns from under the tables. These were advanced weapons unmatched by those outside Academy City. Sensing the impending danger, the unrelated customers in the bar fled within seconds.

With dozens of guns aimed at them at such close range, Awaki Musujime immediately retreated behind Su Xiao.

"Kill them with those energy blades that shoot out," she suggested slyly. Su Xiao remained unmoved and pressed the signal emitter in his hand. He tossed it towards the patrons while a 150-point energy shield appeared.

"Open fire!" A burly man wielding a multi-barreled rotating machine gun was about to pull the trigger when a bullet shot through the bar's front wall.

The bullet tore a hole several dozen centimeters wide in the wall before passing through the crowd. Blood and limbs splattered everywhere, showcasing the power of the heavy sniper rifle. One shot pierced through three patrons, proving that being hit by a sniper rifle bullet was not just about leaving a bullet hole; it would blow open a large cavity.

Fierce gunfire poured into the bar. After ten seconds, the left side of the bar was littered with shattered corpses, blood, and flesh splattering the walls and ceiling.

Under the overwhelming firepower, the patrons instinctively dropped their guns. Most knelt on the ground, hands on their heads, trembling.

Sounds of retching filled the bar as several young men with handguns bent over, vomiting the strong liquor they had just consumed, adding a sour stench to the bar.

"Run!" someone shouted, and the patrons began sticking close to the walls, trying to get as far from Su Xiao as possible while running towards the shattered wall.

What had moments ago been a scene resembling a terrorist group quickly dissolved into chaos. The bar's owner, Selina, lay on her side on the ground, one leg shattered by a bullet, a blood-stained book beside her—her spellcasting medium.

Selina, though a magician, specialized in gathering intelligence and surveillance, not in combat.

Su Xiao walked over to Selina, crouching down. Selina's face twisted in pain as she glared at Su Xiao with hatred.

"Where is Kanzaki Kaori?"

"Spit!"

Su Xiao turned his head to avoid Selina's spit.

"One day, this place will vanish under the power of magic, and that day is approaching..."

Before Selina could finish, Su Xiao suddenly grabbed her top, pulled it over her head, and stomped on her abdomen. Selina, now in her underwear, struggled desperately, thinking Su Xiao was going to "rub her into the ground." Seeing this, Awaki Musujime let out a soft snort, mumbling for him to hurry up and finish.

However, minutes later, Selina would have preferred being rubbed into the ground over the agonizing torture she endured.

Su Xiao picked up a blood-stained bottle of liquor nearby, opened it, and poured the contents over Selina's head. The alcohol soaked through the fabric, causing her to inhale the burning liquid into her airways.

"Mmmm!" Selina's struggles became more intense. After emptying the bottle over her head, Su Xiao released her.

Selina pulled the shirt off her head, her face red as she coughed violently, as if trying to hack up a lung.

"Cough, cough, cough, ugh~"

After violently coughing, Selina lay on the ground, trembling and gasping for air. The burning suffocation she had just experienced was worse than death.

"Where is Kanzaki Kaori?" Su Xiao's tone remained calm.

"I won't... tell you..."

Su Xiao once again covered Selina's head with her shirt. Seeing this, Awaki Musujime teleported another bottle of even stronger liquor into his hand, showing a bit of mischievous delight.

Selina's cries became tearful as the liquor was poured over her again.

Ten minutes later, Selina lay limp on the ground, her body occasionally convulsing as a mixture of various liquors dripped from her mouth and nose.

"Where is Kanzaki Kaori?" Su Xiao repeated, his tone still calm, but it sounded like the devil's whisper in Selina's ears.

"In... in the..."

Selina gritted her teeth.

"In the Juvenile Reformatory... east side... an abandoned warehouse."

Giving this information seemed to drain Selina's strength, and tears rolled down her cheeks.

"Thank you for your cooperation." Su Xiao stood up and walked out of the bar. Alester knew where Kanzaki Kaori was, but he wouldn't provide the exact location, involving the public face of relations between the science and magic sides and various manipulations.

As Su Xiao exited the bar, a dozen members of the Hound Troop in black combat uniforms, steel helmets, and gas masks surrounded it.

Unbeknownst to him, the bar had already been cordoned off. These were the Hound Troop's cleanup crew.

Gunshots rang out from the bar as the Hound Troop members followed their standard procedure: leaving no survivors, though exceptions were made for valuable targets.

Su Xiao looked at a building several hundred meters away. Activating his earpiece, he said a few words, and the sniper who had driven earlier quickly ran over.

"Mr. White Night," the sniper began, instinctively trying to salute, but then stopped, realizing he was no longer a soldier, just a disposable member of an execution squad without even a name.

"You did well. From now on, you're part of my action team."

The sniper's shots had impressed Su Xiao, showing precision and decisiveness.

"Mr. White Night, I..."

The sniper began, but Su Xiao waved him off.

"The man in the black gas mask," Su Xiao addressed a squad leader from the Hound Troop. "Get me in touch with Kihara Amata."

The squad leader didn't speak, simply taking out a communicator. Following orders was his instinct.

Su Xiao hadn't interacted much with the Hound Troop. Still, his impression was that they were ruthless, effective with firearms, and strictly followed orders without emotional interference, acting with deadly professionalism.

Moments later, the squad leader connected with Kihara Amata.

"What's the matter?" Kihara Amata's voice crackled through the communicator.
