The civilians in the waiting room were gradually evacuated, leaving Su Xiao in a standoff with the burly man.
"’Clean up the unstable elents planning bureau’? Never heard of it."
Su Xiao sensed that these people had no war intent. If they were here to ambush him, he would have felt it.
"Ahem, the na is quite long. We usually just call ourselves Cleaners. No beating around the bush, I’m Wei Dong, mainly responsible for negotiations or battles with similar individuals."
Wei Dong directly showed his credentials. After seeing them, Su Xiao squinted his eyes. If the credentials were real, then this person worked for the governnt.
Looking around, those n in suits didn’t cause a commotion while evacuating the civilians, and the train station staff didn’t intervene either.
Su Xiao had once been ’dead and reborn’, so it wasn’t hard to determine his Contractor identity that way.
Also, with so many people in Reincarnation Paradise, the governnt wouldn’t go unaware.
With the existence of Reincarnation Paradise, the real world remained calm and peaceful, indicating there was more than ets the eye. Upon seeing these people, Su Xiao understood what was going on; these must be Contractors assimilated by the governnt.
How exactly it operated was unclear to Su Xiao. He had two choices before him: fight or negotiate.
If he fought, he would be wanted nationwide, and would end up fleeing abroad anyway.
"State your purpose."
Wei Dong’s face lit up with a smile. As long as they could talk, it was good.
"It’s like this, initially, the state was in a state of rejection towards people like us. Then all sorts of things happened. After multiple diations, the ’Clean up the unstable elents planning bureau’ ca into being.
It’s clearly unwise to get into a life-and-death struggle with people like us, trained specifically for combat, and we can also blend into ordinary people. Finding us is quite difficult.
Here’s a docunt for you to look over. Once you sign it, your previous actions will be struck off. As long as you don’t engage in abnormal activities in the future, no one will interfere with your normal life. Otherwise, we Cleaners will pursue tirelessly."
After speaking, Wei Dong threw over a stack of docunts. Su Xiao checked them. The contents were within acceptable limits.
The general idea was not to kill, not to cause social unrest, not to illegally gather funds (except through normal profit ans), and not to form gangs.
These regulations didn’t bind Su Xiao at all. In the real world, he was the type to leave others alone if they left him alone. Although powerful, he wouldn’t act like a maniac, wielding a knife and charging into the street.
Even though Su Xiao needed revenge, his current strength was insufficient. Moreover, his enemies’ leads were not dostic; the last foe he killed was the only one he could find.
He would sign the docunts first and deal with matters later. After all, this was not a Reincarnation Paradise contract.
"Give the pen."
Wei Dong showed delight, tossing a steel pen to Su Xiao. After signing, Su Xiao threw the docunt back to him.
"Mr. Su, are you interested in joining us?"
"Not interested."
This answer was anticipated by Wei Dong, who wasn’t disappointed.
"It’s like this, Mr. Su, if I’m not mistaken, you are very strong. We nationals usually don’t wreak havoc at ho, but occasionally so foreigners co to cause trouble, and so can be quite formidable. At that ti, could you, of course, we’d offer rewards, like so confidential information."
Hearing Wei Dong’s words, Su Xiao’s eyes brightened.
"We’ll talk about it then. I’ll consider according to the situation."
If he could get help from Wei Dong’s side, obtaining certain information would beco much easier.
As for joining the Cleaners, it was not an option. Su Xiao didn’t want to be bossed around. Cooperation was possible, joining was not.
"Very well, I won’t trouble you any further, Mr. Su. By the way, your original identity is now legal. You are now a legal resident."
The n in suits gradually dispersed, and the waiting room soon beca bustling again. Seeing this scene, Su Xiao nodded, hesitated for a mont, then took out his phone to call the person who was handling his docuntation.
"Did it all finish so quickly?"
"No, sothing ca up midway. I don’t need the docunts anymore for now."
"Then let’s work together another ti. Goodbye."
"Goodbye."
There were no clichéd movie scenes. The other party was very polite. In fact, the ’underground world’ people are very cautious, usually not making enemies on purpose.
Picking up the sword bag from the ground, Su Xiao stored Tang Hong in the storage space and continued to wait for the train in the waiting room. He hadn’t canceled his ticket.
If Wei Dong wasn’t lying, he was now a free man and could go anywhere. Why hide in a rented room sneakily? Besides, he needed to appear harmless for his future actions.
Soon, Su Xiao boarded the high-speed train, and the journey went smoothly. In the real world, he hadn’t done many bad things—just killed an enemy.
Considering his reclusive lifestyle in the rental house, his danger level was deed very low.
Compared to those Contractors who suddenly gained power and acted recklessly, Su Xiao was a law-abiding citizen.
...
Two days later.
In front of a magnificent ancient building.
Su Xiao, wearing a pair of sunglasses, held several skewers of snacks, eating as he walked.
At the mont, Su Xiao, carrying a shoulder bag, showed no sign of the bloodthirsty fierce god he once was. He hadn’t felt so relaxed in a long ti.
He was at a tourist spot, surrounded by stunning scenery, sunny with picturesque landscapes, but there were just too many people.
Looking around, it was a sea of people, and Su Xiao didn’t want to get close to that crowded area.
"Young man, want to buy a power bank?"
An enthusiastic Big Mom approached. Su Xiao adjusted his sunglasses, and when she tried to get closer, she found Su Xiao was walking further away.
Coming to a less crowded shady spot, Su Xiao decided not to visit tourist attractions anymore; there were simply too many people.
His plan was to tour various places, tasting local delicacies, a suitable way to relax ntally.
Su Xiao sensed that after relaxing, his Sword Technique slightly improved; one really cannot always stay tense.
That night, Su Xiao checked into a hotel, purposely using his original identity, and retained a trace of vigilance in the hotel room.
...
In a monitor-filled computer room, Wei Dong walked in.
"How’s it going? Any abnormalities with that person?"
A staff mber took off the headphones.
"Went traveling. Based on previous records, he’s the harmless type, not one of those morons that flaunt their power all over the world."
Wei Dong nodded.
"Then stop the monitoring. If discovered, it could get awkward. This one is very strong.
We got lucky this ti; the aura when he drew his sword scared . Two days ago, if we had engaged, even the military might have been mobilized."
The monitoring screen of Su Xiao was switched, temporarily listing him as harmless.
If Wei Dong knew how fierce Su Xiao was in the Derivative World, he would definitely initiate round-the-clock monitoring.
Another thing Wei Dong wasn’t aware of was Su Xiao’s keen Perception Force had already sensed soone was monitoring him.
