Chapter 313 Li Ang: After all, I'm not some kind of demon.
Inside the massive starship, which reeked of blood.

A male creature, half-human and half-snake, pressed his head firmly against the cold ground and said with a hint of fear, "Lady Zakuli, the souls stored in the ship are almost gone, you see?"

Upon hearing this, a snake-haired woman with six arms slowly uttered a tongue: "Is that so? Then pay with your lives."

"This"

The male snake-man suddenly raised his head, instinctively wanting to say something.

But when he saw his master's emotionless gaze, he couldn't help but swallow hard, and then stammered, "I...I understand."

"It's better for me to die than for my fellow Daoists." As a starship manager, as long as the crew members are not all dead, it's not his place to fill this hole.

The snake-haired woman sat in the main seat, watching her anxious subordinate leave the room.

She knew perfectly well what the other person was thinking, but so what?

She only cares about the result, not the process.

As long as she can afford the soul consumption during the journey, she can turn a blind eye to how much these fools embezzle.

But what if you can't afford it?
The snake-haired woman flicked her tongue, and a pale blue orb of light appeared in her hand at some point.

This is the soul of the previous starship commander, which she has been storing for a long time.

As Zakuli savored the intoxicating despair within her soul, she silently thought to herself:

'This guy doesn't seem too difficult, so why did the guild send me?'

Is there some hidden story?

As the top debt collector of the [Golden Guild], Zakuli has encountered many difficult gamblers, including some with powerful connections and deep backgrounds.

But in the end, she got rid of all of them.

Of course, it's not a solution in the physical sense, since the guild doesn't want to get rid of these gamblers, but rather to recover the debts owed.

Even just the principal would be fine.

According to the intelligence Zakuli received, the target this time had neither great strength nor a strong background. According to the guild's assessment, he was a person with weak repayment ability. Logically speaking, he should not have been able to owe such a huge gambling debt.

'Tsk, looks like there's a big problem. We'll have to investigate further once we arrive at the casino.'

With this thought flashing through her mind, the snake-haired woman swallowed the soul in her hand whole, then closed her eyes to rest for a while.

However, at that moment, a strange fluctuation suddenly caught her attention.

Zakuli opened her eyes and saw a pitch-black rift, as deep as an abyss, appear out of nowhere in front of her.

Before the pilots could react, the starship plunged into the wreckage.

In the blink of an eye, the surrounding environment changed from the desolate space to a cold world filled with swirling snow.

Upon seeing this scene, Zakuli frowned and then flashed to the outside of the starship.

After stopping the vehicle, which was on the verge of going out of control, she asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?"

However, all that answered her was the howling of the blizzard.

"."

Zakuli took a deep breath, and then gripped six different weapons tightly with her six arms.

Since the other party was unwilling to show themselves, she had no choice but to force them to come out.

Just as the snake-haired woman was about to launch an attack, a hissing sound suddenly came from the sky, followed by a giant steel hand piercing through the clouds and pressing down on her.

laugh--

As a dazzling flash of light appeared, a crack immediately appeared on the giant steel hand.

Upon seeing this, Zakulina's yellowish-brown pupils suddenly contracted.

She had a full understanding of her own strength. Ordinary mechanical products would only be split in two in the face of this attack, but the giant steel hand in the sky only showed a crack.

In an instant, several forces known for their mechanical abilities flashed through the debt collector's mind.

Is it the Holy Forging Order or the Steel Spine Group?

Or perhaps.

'[Giant Heavy Industries]? '

Thinking this, Zakuli's heart sank.

If her guess is correct, then today's matter is likely to be troublesome.

Although [Mingjin Club] is no longer considered a small company within the Global Enterprise Alliance, it is still like a stray dog ​​on the street compared to this giant corporation.

'I hope I'm overthinking it.'

Zakuli took a deep breath, trying to control her emotions.

Faced with the massive steel hand still pressing down on her, she chose to back down.

The next moment, the giant hand collided with the starship, crushing it into the ground.

Seeing all her subordinates dead, Zakuli felt no pity whatsoever. Instead, she focused intently on guarding against the mechanical professional who had yet to show up.

Just then, the giant mechanical hand that had just crushed the starship to pieces suddenly paused, and then disintegrated into pieces under the gaze of the snake-haired woman.

".?"

The sudden turn of events left the debt collector somewhat bewildered.

Was this some new technology she'd never seen before? Or was it an attempt to lower her guard and deliver a fatal blow?
Just as Zakuli was feeling somewhat puzzled, a slightly helpless voice reached her ears through the wind and snow: "Old Wu, is this your super transformation form?"

"Uh, it's possible she cut a major artery, but don't worry, I have a backup hidden energy source."

"Forget it, I'll do it."

As soon as she finished speaking, a bone-chilling cold suddenly swept through Zakuli's entire body. She never expected that there would be two attackers.

Upon realizing this, the snake-haired woman's gaze immediately turned incredibly gloomy.

Before she could react, the demonic bullet, burning with deep red flames, tore through the snowstorm and arrived in front of her.

Sensing the familiar aura emanating from the magic bullet, Zakuli was momentarily startled: 'Magic?'

'There's another demon?!'

Demons are not uncommon in this world, but they usually only appear in a few places, such as the Price Desire Group and the Underworld Gold Guild.

Considering the suspicious nature of this mission, a thought suddenly occurred to Zakuli.

'Is that gambler a front used by certain individuals within the large casino to embezzle the group's assets?'

'Are they on our side or on Price's side?'

It's no wonder she thought that way, given how coincidental it was.

The debt collector, believing he had found the truth, spoke up while dealing with the overwhelming barrage of crimson magic bullets: "Even if you kill me now, it won't make a difference. With such a huge hole, the Guild and the Desire Group will still send others to investigate."

"And the next one might be at the sixth level."

As they spoke, a crimson magic bullet grazed Zakuli's arm, leaving a deep, bone-revealing wound.

Feeling the excruciating pain, Zakuli frowned and urged her magic to heal the wound as quickly as possible.

It's a pity that it can't be done.

The crimson magic continued to erode the wound, and a faint frost gradually spread outwards.

'What a disgusting ability.'

This was the first time Zakuli had encountered such an ability, but now was not the time to investigate. "However, if you are willing to cooperate with the investigation and tell me who exactly was involved, the guild will not hold you responsible."

She didn't believe that the two people who made the move were the masterminds behind the scenes; there were definitely many other entities secretly embezzling the club's assets.

If she wants to escape unscathed today, she will most likely have to do so by addressing this point.

As she spoke, Zakuli decisively severed the injured arm.

This was the best solution she could think of at the moment, in order to prevent the destructive magic from spreading outwards from the wound.

The next moment, a pale arm, exactly the same as before, quickly regenerated from the severed area.

Unfortunately, to the debt collector's disappointment, even after she had clearly explained the situation, the two people hiding in the snowstorm still did not respond.

Left with no other choice, Zakuli abandoned any remaining hope and coldly uttered four words: "Stubborn fools, do you really think the guild is so easily fooled?"

Just when she thought she would still get no response, the owner of the giant steel hand spoke up with some helplessness: "But the problem is we're not part of the big casino, so there's no use in you telling us this."

"?"

Upon hearing this, Zakuli was stunned for a moment, nearly having a crimson magic bullet pierce her chest.

However, she quickly regained her composure, casually shattering another magic bullet before frowning and asking, "Not from the big casino? Then who are you?"

"Then that's none of your business. Anyway, our job is to kill you."

"."

Upon hearing this, Zakuli quickly recalled in her mind whether she had offended anyone recently, and then realized that she had offended more people than she could count on six hands.

The problem is that none of those people could afford to hire these two.

After a brief silence, Zakuli spoke up: "I'll offer double the price. Could you two please tell me who the client is?"

"This isn't about the price."

As the sound gradually dissipated into the wind and snow, an incredibly terrifying energy fluctuation suddenly arose and then blasted towards Zakuli's location.

Before she could ponder the meaning of the last words she heard, the snake-haired woman wildly brandished her weapon, tearing apart the swirling snow in the blink of an eye.

However, it was all in vain. The debt collector, who had put all his skill points into melee combat, could only watch helplessly as the energy devoured him.

After a while, the energy gradually dissipated, revealing Zakuli covered in wounds.

"Cough cough."

She coughed and felt her body go weak.

Recalling the attack just now, Zakuli felt a little scared.

Is it the sixth energy level?

'It shouldn't be that they haven't arrived yet.'

She had seen sixth-level energy before, and although the attack just now was extremely destructive, it hadn't reached that level.

Of course, this is not the key issue. More importantly, such entities generally only appear in super-large forces.

For example, a federation, or an empire.
So what exactly drove them to attack me?

Just as Zakuli was trying to find the answer to this question, a slightly surprised voice suddenly rang in her ear: "Huh? Not dead?"

Zakuli looked in the direction of the sound and saw a young man standing in the distance watching her.

Beside him stood four distinct figures.

But when the debt collector saw that one of the five was a cyborg, a flash of inspiration struck him.

Based on the strength these people just displayed, their identities are pretty obvious.

'[Giant Heavy Industries]! '

'But do these engineers also accept commissions?!'

Before Zakuli could figure it out, the shadow of death suddenly loomed over her.

As she stared at the blinding golden light filling her retina, her mind began to race.

Commissioned by Giants Heavy Industries.
Zakuli began to recall if anything major had happened to this giant corporation recently.

Believe it or not, it actually exists, and quite a few people even know about it.

After all, the official website of [Giant God Heavy Industries] has posted a bounty, and as long as you can provide valid clues, you can get a generous reward.

As the clues and the two key pieces of information, the casino and the casino, flashed through Zakuli's mind, a figure with a wicked sense of humor vaguely appeared before her eyes.

Before she could think it through, the six-armed snake woman immediately shouted, "Wait! You guys from Giant God Heavy Industries! You're here to see the person in the mirror, aren't you!"

"I have a lead too!"

At this point, the debt collector was taking a desperate gamble, since everything mentioned above was just her guess.

Fortunately, she made the right bet.

Seeing the golden light that had made her temples throb slowly dissipate, Zakuli immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

However, since she guessed correctly, there shouldn't be more than just [Giant God Heavy Industries] present.

'So, there's a dragon hidden among those five? With that kind of lineup, they could probably barely hold their own against a sixth-level being, right?'

Fortunately, only two people made a move, otherwise she probably wouldn't have lasted until now.

As he pondered this, a question suddenly arose in the debt collector's mind.

That's why the leaders of [Giant God Heavy Industries] and [Io Logistics] in the distance are a demon.

It must be a demon, right?

Looking at the young man whose appearance was completely unlike that of a demon, Zakuli was a little unsure for a moment, but the problem was that the chaotic destructive magic emanating from her wounds was undeniable.

'A Balrog? A Succubus?'

'What kind of animal is this? I've never seen it before.'

Or is it because of your profession?

While it's absurd that a non-demon race could acquire a demon race's class, it actually happened before.

The reason is also very simple.

The abyss rejoices.

That's right. As long as you can gain the attention of the Abyss, there is a chance to obtain a demon-type class, and the strength is not low, even though Zakuli doesn't know where the Abyss is.

Just as she was lost in thought, Li Ang arrived in front of her with Lao Wu and the others.

Looking at the battered six-armed serpent demon before him, he raised an eyebrow and asked, "You say you know a clue?"

"Uh, yes." Hearing the voice, Zakuli snapped out of her daze and nodded somewhat stiffly. "But I'm not entirely sure."

"Hehe. If I find out you've lied to us, I'll give you a quick death." Li Ang chuckled. "After all, I'm not some kind of demon."

After speaking, he extended his left hand, which was covered in a layer of blue light, to the snake demon in front of him.

It is 【Dual-Handed】.

　I went again today, so I can only write one chapter.

　　I have to go to see him off on his final journey tomorrow morning, and then go to burn incense in the afternoon, so there will most likely only be one chapter.

　　However, it will end on the 31st, and I will update a few more chapters as compensation. Sorry.
