"I indeed encountered so issues. Tonight, I need to deal with a strong enemy. The relationship between us is quite complicated; it's hard to explain in a short ti. Anyway, it's either his demise or mine."
"This matter must have no mistakes, so I'm trying to assemble all the forces I can muster to eliminate him in one decisive blow."
Nuobai placed the phone screen in front of Su Mo, which displayed two simple words:
[I'm in]
"Huh?" Su Mo didn't expect Nuobai to agree so readily and was montarily stunned. "But you've already..."
Nuobai shook the screen with the words [I'm in], her gaze clear and determined.
Su Mo appeared sowhat hesitant: "Nuobai, it's not about being fussy. It's just that you've been away from the disputes for so long, I don't think it's right to drag you back into them."
"And, considering that you've helped so much before, and I haven't repaid you yet, making you face a strong enemy at this ti seems..."
Nuobai gently grasped Su Mo's hand. The gesture was light and soft, yet it conveyed a silent strength.
Her gaze softened as she typed two lines:
[No need to count these debts between us]
[If you have trouble, just tell ]
Looking at the words on the screen and those sincere eyes, Su Mo felt his heart lt.
He clasped his fingers, holding Nuobai's hand in return, as raindrops pattered crisply against the nearby window.
"Nuobai, thank you."
...
The two left the café and went to Nuobai's ho.
She lived in a single apartnt nearby, not far from the café.
Su Mo sat waiting on the couch in the living room, while Nuobai went to the bathroom to change clothes. The frosted glass reflected her graceful silhouette, occasionally accompanied by the sound of clothes rubbing against skin.
Nuobai's cats were very lively; seeing a stranger, they were not afraid at all, climbing over Su Mo's legs, owing constantly, eagerly wanting snacks.
"There's enough for everyone, don't fight, line up." Su Mo held cat treats, feeding here and there, as the living room echoed with the cats' purring.
Soon, Nuobai ca out, dressed in a light night combat suit, with glasses and earrings removed. Her pure white long hair flowed down like snowy mist, presenting a breathtaking beauty.
She opened a storage cabinet and took out the long-sealed Tang Blade, drawing it halfway.
"Swish—"
The Tang Blade refracted a curved arc of light, its killer aura instantly rippling, ready to spill blood like in the past.
Nuobai sheathed the blade, nodding to Su Mo, indicating she was ready.
Su Mo placed the cats on the floor and asked, "By the way, Nuobai, is your blood code status still the sa as it was then? Promoted High Tier?"
Nuobai smiled slightly and shook her head.
She typed on her phone, showing a response that shocked Su Mo.
[Critical Middle Tier]
Su Mo was stunned, eyes wide open, asking, "After the last fight with the Razor group, you advanced two levels?!"
Nuobai nodded with a smile.
Su Mo was caught in indescribable shock.
In the original plot of the ga "Dawn," Nuobai died relatively early, and it was inevitable. She would either be killed by players or by other rcenaries dispatched by Elder Tang, her strength perpetually stuck at "Promoted High Tier."
Su Mo was unclear about Nuobai's true potential because the plot never gave her room to showcase it.
And at this mont, Su Mo finally realized that Nuobai had exceptionally strong potential in terms of blood code.
In this extraordinary domain of blood codes, small level increases are not difficult, but major level advancents are as hard as climbing to the sky.
Crossing from the lower High Tier to the initial stage of a higher tier is a chasm-like hurdle that many blood code carriers cannot overco even after years.
Su Mo managed to elevate his internal blood code from "Awakening High Tier" to "Mid-tier Ascension" by relying on the improved abilities of the Ancestral Blood Code, using Simon's blood code as sustenance.
Yet, through just one death match with the Razor, Nuobai advanced her blood code from "Promoted Tier" to "Critical Tier," and even ascended an additional small tier to reach "Critical Middle Tier."
This potential was truly formidable!
This level of blood code ant Nuobai was now at par with a seasoned mber of the Anti-Violence Fourth Section, even capable of standing toe-to-toe with the top-notch Alpha Squad mbers.
And this was just her regular strength.
Do not forget, this side quest boss also has her notorious "Red Eye Mode" that terrifies players—Blood Burning!
Blood Burning is Nuobai's self-created move, mastered beyond the clumsy imitation by others.
Once Blood Burning is activated, Nuobai's bodily functions would escalate sharply, her strength showing exponential growth.
Su Mo had no doubt that in the Blood Burning state, Nuobai's power could temporarily break through the "Critical Tier" and reach the "Transcendent Tier."
Moreover, blood codes, unlike prosthetics, grow stronger in later stages.
At this stage, with her blazing red eyes, even Ivan might be intimidated!
Su Mo was now ecstatic. He initially thought that Nuobai was rely there to support, and the main force would still be the Anti-Violence Fourth Section mbers.
It turns out that Nuobai was actually his real trump card!
Su Mo thought: Ou Chenyu, you are in big trouble now. Get ready to be crushed!
"Ring ring." At this ti, the phone rang.
Su Mo answered it.
Sikinkov's voice ca through: "Bro, it's ti to co back; we've found Ou Chenyu's location."
...
Large conference room at Edge Mansion.
mbers of the Alpha Squad from the Anti-Violence Fourth Section, as well as the carefully selected Edge rcenaries by Su Mo, had gathered here, the two sides eyeing each other without much interaction.
After entering, Ivan complained, "Where did you run off to?"
Su Mo shrugged, "Went to find so help."
Ivan chuckled, pointing to the Alpha Team mbers behind him, "Still feeling unsafe with us here?"
The Alpha Team mbers all laughed.
"Haha, the more the rrier," Su Mo opened his phone video, saying, "She's a bit shy, so she won't et us in person, just saying hi through the video."
When they saw Nuobai, wearing a mask, appear on the phone screen, the Alpha Team mbers were all montarily surprised, and the Edge rcenaries gasped.
Silent Death God, this renowned rcenary in New Moon City was not the strongest, but certainly the most mysterious.
No one knew who she was; none had seen the true face beneath that ghostly mask, only that she had an absurdly high completion rate for assignnts.
If any middleman claid they could hire the Silent Death God, the employer would have to pay several tis more.
This sumr, Silent Death God suddenly retired, disappearing from New Moon City, leaving behind only her legendary deeds, which left countless rcenaries sighing.
Ivan squinted at Su Mo, saying, "Able to get her on board, your network really is unfathomable."
Su Mo laughed, "Everyone's here, so then..."
"Wait." Suddenly, a man walked in from outside, "Count in."
Su Mo was stunned to see the person: "Broken Blade?!"
The top fighter under Audiana, how did he end up here?
Broken Blade handed over a phone, saying, "Lady Countess sent ."
Su Mo took the phone and held it to his ear, "Lady Countess?"
Audiana's lazy voice ca through, "Director Su, going after Ou Chenyu tonight?"
Su Mo was stunned, "How did you know?"
Audiana: "Ever since the rcenary Summit, I've been keeping an eye on the two of you."
"Today, when the Anti-Violence Fourth Section's airship suddenly landed at Edge Mansion, and considering your relationship with Sikinkov, I guessed you're ready to counterattack, so I sent Broken Blade to lend you a hand."
Su Mo laughed, "Lady Countess truly is as sharp as ever. With such enthusiasm, a junior feels a bit undeserving, let pay you back."
Audiana chuckled, "Now's not the ti to settle accounts with . You're a rcenary I've watched grow with my own eyes; every step you've taken, I've seen. It's still worth lending you a hand."
Dongdong jumped up and grabbed the phone, smiling sweetly, "Thank you, Countess Mom! Love you, mua~"
Su Mo slapped away the mischievous Dongdong, took back the phone, and sincerely said, "Thank you, Lady Countess, knowing you is wonderful."
Audiana's voice was deep, full of authority and strength, "Go, defeat that Ou, and make a na for yourself by stepping on his head!"
After the call ended, Ivan reminded, "Ou Chenyu's location is confird, I suggest we comnce the siege imdiately."
"No." Su Mo unexpectedly rejected Ivan's suggestion.
Su Mo looked out into the thick darkness of the night, speaking slowly:
"Let's rescue my brother first."
