132: Section 132
"Self-deception is quite a skill... but this is just right. I'm quite curious how the sequel will play out in Silent Hill without the Inner World."
Having found another interesting research topic, Pipi Xi was very happy.
...
Night fell.
The bustling streets of Los Santos were brightly lit.
Su Ming and Pipi Xi walked side by side. The neon sign at the street corner dyed the [DelMayCry Agency] in a cliché nightclub style.
As they passed an alleyway exit...
The streetlights cast shadows of several figures swaying as they approached like zombies...
Pfft! —
A narrow flash of a blade swept across their throats first...
Chish! —spin—
Blood sprayed over a meter high...
Following that was the sound of several bodies thudding to the ground one after another.
The waters of the River of Death swirled...
The last traces of the thugs' existence vanished without a trace!
Chapter 150: Elm Street and Final Destination
Crimson Avenue, an old street dividing the slums and the commercial district. The agency arranged by the Comprehensive Network was right at the corner of this street.
Pushing open the heavy mahogany doors.
The agency was dim inside, with only a few flickers of candlelight barely sustaining a sliver of light.
A man and a woman walked in elegantly.
The chandelier lit up.
With a gust of eerie wind flowing out the door, the mahogany doors closed silently...
In the brightly lit agency, Pipi Xi plopped onto the sofa, observing the agency's decor and layout with great interest.
Various religious items of unclear meaning but high symbolic significance... unfortunately, they were all useless small commodities from Yiwu.
—She saw the shipping origin on the express packaging was indeed Yiwu!
A plaster demon head hung on the wall, with a flickering candle stuck on top.
Above the fireplace, two crossed claymores were hung.
Suddenly, as if sensing something, the dark matter computer inside Pipi Xi activated, remotely controlling the wall-mounted TV to switch to the news channel as quickly as possible.
"...According to reports from our front-line reporters, a sudden death incident involving a teenager in their sleep occurred on Elm Street recently. The police have not yet..."
Pipi Xi smiled, the kind full of anticipation:
"This world really is interesting. Elm Street... Hah! Even Freddy has shown up! Oh! And there are experts too!"
The news on the TV scrolled rapidly.
Soon.
Forced by Pipi Xi's will, a breaking news flash was projected onto the TV ahead of time.
"...We interrupt this program for a breaking news update. According to our reporters, at approximately 22:04 tonight, Flight AF180 from San Francisco to Paris suddenly caught fire less than two minutes after takeoff and then exploded in mid-air!"
"Currently, there are no reports of any survivors. At the same time, there is no confirmed information on what caused the crash."
"It is worth mentioning that before Flight AF180 took off, a high school student preparing to travel to Paris with his classmates predicted the occurrence of this crash..."
Turning off the TV, Pipi Xi clicked her tongue in wonder:
"No wonder you said this is a USA Horror Mega-World... with so many horror movies stitched together, I can't even imagine how miserable the mortals in this world are."
Miserable?
It seems they really are!
In reality, there's the capital's execution line grinning hideously.
In the shadows, dark creatures like Vampires, werewolves, vengeful spirits, demons, and serial killers are watching like tigers eyeing their prey.
The recent news flash also showed that it's not just dark creatures eyeing the mortals; even the evil gods in charge of death have entered the fray.
"Now that you mention it, you've really made my sympathy overflow... What, you're not thinking of carrying out justice and purging evil, are you?"
It wouldn't be strange for Kaisha or other angels to have such thoughts, but Pipi Xi... why don't I believe it?
Sure enough.
Pipi Xi's eyes sparkled:
"Can I? Count me in; I'm very interested in those dark creatures!"
Understood!
Whether it's justice or not doesn't matter.
What matters is whether there's fun to be had and whether those monsters and demons can be sent to the dissection table!
Well, that works.
Su Ming thought so too...
Quack quack quack! —
However...
"Let's wait a bit. Given my current identity and the two supernatural events that just occurred, someone should be coming to the door soon."
"You call the shots!"
After a pause, Pipi Xi became curious again:
"Wait, where do you get your confidence from?"
Lightly tapping his temple, Su Ming stated:
"The memories in my head tell me that the DelMayCry Agency's business has always been quite good and is very famous in certain circles."
Tailor-made?
Or customized service?
Pipi Xi was simply green with envy; look at him.
Never mind being able to travel to other worlds at will, the treatment in terms of convenient services is even more top-notch!
What relieved Pipi Xi was that the DelMayCry Agency was very simple, with no Dante, and certainly no Lady or Trish crashing in.
But on second thought...
Pipi Xi got even angrier!
Yes, the other world didn't prepare any confidantes for him.
But, the hometown side did!
And it was the kind where the angels came knocking on their own!
Wait, what?
What's with that look?
Su Ming was a bit dazed, not understanding how he had offended Pipi Xi.
Just then.
Alessa suddenly materialized in front of Su Ming.
Sensing something was off, she cast a suspicious glance at Pipi Xi. Seeing nothing unusual, Alessa then looked at Su Ming and bowed slightly:
"Lord Omar, the unstable factors around the agency have been temporarily purged! Do we need to expand the purging range?"
Because of the existence of the execution line.
Or perhaps it's race, or bloodline inheritance...
Regardless of what it is, the public security in the USA is indeed worrying.
To avoid an eyesore.
Su Ming had instructed Alessa to take the initiative and at least basically purge the unstable factors around the agency.
"No need. By the way, how many did you kill just now?"
"Not many, only over three hundred and twenty."
"Uh..."
No way, right?
Are there really that many criminal elements within a one-kilometer radius?
Taking out the Pseudo-Current to check, well, the three hundred and twenty-four extra corpses in the Yellow Spring River of Death were still fresh!
With a sweep of Wall-Piercing Insight.
Su Ming confirmed that Alessa really hadn't wrongly accused these people.
Waving his hand to let Alessa disperse, Su Ming then sighed 'distressedly'.
"Now there's trouble."
"What, cleaning up some trash... you can't possibly be unable to handle it?"
"Not that, it's just... with three hundred people gone all at once, the Los Santos Police Department will probably go crazy!"
You should know.
Among those corpses were not just homeless people, low-level thugs, and gang members.
There were also a few powerful elites, and even a City Councilman who unfortunately happened to be passing through the nearby neighborhood, planning to hold a rally speech for college students!
Opening his Observation Haki Perception Domain, Su Ming couldn't help but let out an 'oops'.
Sure enough.
The hotel over nine hundred meters away was already in chaos.
Further away, the police department's motorcade was rushing over.
Pipi Xi also noticed this, and upon second thought, understood Su Ming's mind, immediately rolling her eyes:
"Crazy!"
How about you put away that 'spectator' expression first?
Half an hour later.
The two, who had enjoyed watching the drama, stretched in unison.
Then they stood up at the same time and looked at each other.
"How about we go home?"
"I have no objection, but what about your agency?"
"Just leave it to Alessa."
"You mean, let a Vengeful Banshee receive clients who come to you to solve supernatural events?"
"Is there a problem?"
"...Whatever you want!"
Chapter 151: Kaisha and Hexi! The Aura of a King
That night!
The decaying scent of rust continuously rolled within the dim agency.
The air raid siren sounded faintly.
Accompanying it was the horrific scene of real-world objects mysteriously peeling and curling, and the sudden appearance and disappearance of rusted metal grids and barbed iron thorns!
