Chapter 432 Director of the Treatment Center (4000)
The four looked at each other, and Kaxiu and the black machine chief's eyes stayed for a second at this moment. For some reason, they both instinctively had the same thought in their hearts: this person is not simple.
After looking at each other, the black machine chief showed a faint smile on his face.
Next to him, the Holy Light Hunter Dilixiati's eyes lingered between the two for a while. He immediately took a step forward and invited Kaxiu to come over.
Next, it was a link similar to the awarding of medals. A soft red carpet was laid on the platform, faintly sewn with gold threads. On both sides of the carpet, four shadow hunters stood separately, separating a space.
And in this space, the Holy Light Hunter Dilixiati held a long and exquisite wooden tray in his hand. Open the soft silk on it, and underneath it was a slender sword, about half the length of a person. The sword body was very narrow, smooth and sharp, and the blade was covered with dense patterns. It didn't look like it was used for combat at all, but a ceremonial prop.
The colorful gems inlaid on the hilt also proved this. This sword was actually the sword of the first king of the Red Li Empire. Since a certain era, it has been used as a prop for the awarding ceremony of the Shadow Hunter level hunters of the Dark Hunter Organization. It has been specially maintained and will not decay for thousands of years. Of course, don't think about fighting with this sword, at most it is just for show.
Dilixiati handed the tray in his hand to the black chief, who picked up the ceremonial sword and slowly put it on Kaxiu's shoulder. Then, he read a long official monologue in the imperial ancient language with a strong accent. Every time he said a monologue, Kaxiu answered yes.
About a minute later, the long sword was put away and the awarding ceremony was over.
Under the gaze of many hunters in the hall of the Hunter Association, Kaxiu completely became the second Shadow Hunter. He was expressionless as always, and didn't feel excited. Instead, the old hunters below looked quite excited and whispered to each other. And they grabbed some acquaintances next to them and started to show off, raising their hands and pointing at Kaxiu from time to time, looking very face-saving.
Kaxiu chose to ignore it.
About half an hour later, the award ceremony was basically over. As expected, the Black Chief and Dilixiati decided to have a chat with Kaxiu.
They came to the headquarters building of the Dark Hunter Organization, the office dedicated to the Black Chief. The space here is wide and the sound insulation effect is outstanding.
Soon, the three of them started talking, and the form was like a casual chat.
Kaxiu had prepared before coming. He gave himself the identity of a person in the secret martial arts world of the Red Li Empire and the only inheritor of a mysterious ancient boxing school. He had been practicing in seclusion before, and later the school had an enemy with a mysterious organization. Although there are masters in the school, there are too few people.
Outnumbered, it was eventually destroyed, and only Kaxiu escaped.
That mysterious organization naturally had many characteristics of the Gate Organization.
This is what Kaxiu mainly wanted to express to the Black Chief.
To be honest, this reason is a bit bloody and clichéd. But the Black Chief believed it at least 50%, because the Gate Organization really did this.
The Dark Hunter Organization did not have a deep understanding of the secret martial arts world of the empire, but it was not completely ignorant. As for the Gate Organization, the Dark Hunter Organization or the number one enemy of all official supernatural forces, they naturally had contact and collision.
Although the Gate Organization has not been active in recent decades, the Dark Hunter Organization has always kept an eye on it. Among them, there are some contents about the Secret Martial Arts World. The Gate Organization puts at least one-third or even one-half of its energy on the Secret Martial Arts World of the Empire, sometimes absorbing members of the organization, and sometimes destroying a Secret Martial Arts school without reason. Sometimes it will also usher in the backlash of the Secret Martial Arts World, the number of members will be severely damaged, and it will be silent for a period of time.
Therefore, the plot made up by Kaxiu is not too outrageous.
He stated that he was a member of the Secret Martial Arts World, and the secret school he was in was destroyed by the Gate Organization, but he just wanted to find a common enemy with the Dark Hunter Organization. In this way, he eliminated the grudges and offset some of the doubts.
Fortunately, neither Dilixiati nor the head of the Black Agency raised questions directly. And silence actually means that they accepted it first, whether it is true or false. There are many considerations, and what Kaxiu threw out is only part of it. The most important thing is that he is strong enough! As long as the strong are united against the outside world, they can always find an organization willing to accept them! Kaxiu's combat power, which is suspected to be comparable to that of the No. 1 Dark Hunter Kasai, can even make Dilixiati feel a little threatened.
Moreover, the procedure for him to become a Shadow Hunter is legitimate, and he has not violated any rules in his steps. On this point, Dilixiati, the Holy Light Hunter who led the battle for the Shadow Hunter seat, could not refute it.
Therefore, no matter what the three people present thought, their conversation was always harmonious. In the second half of the conversation, the Black Organ Chief talked about the old hunters and the black bait wood contributed by Kaxiu.
This material is very useful for the Dark Hunter Organization, but the origin is difficult to find, and its growth and formation conditions are probably extremely harsh. The Black Organ Chief tried to ask Kaxiu about the place where the black bait wood was found, and Kaxiu used the reason he got by chance to prevaricate. And after he finished prevarication, he asked the Black Organ Chief about the situation of the treatment hospital. Obviously, this is a hint, and both parties in the conversation basically understood it.
So the Black Organ Chief came straight to the point and stopped wasting time: "Bai Kui, we need black wood, which is a very precious bait material for dark creatures. It can play a big role under certain circumstances. How about this, if you can provide us with ten pieces of black wood every year, you will be the director of the Hunter Association's treatment center..."
Aboveboard and openly trading authority within the Hunter Association.
Ka Xiu sat on the sofa, half of his body illuminated by the sun. He was wearing something similar to a military uniform, and his outline looked tough and straight. After a moment of silence, Card Xiu turned to look at the black agency chief: "Deal."
The ten pieces of black bait wood mentioned by the head of the black agency naturally did not refer to the arm-length ones that Card Xiu had just obtained from the ghost man, which could be used to make torches. Instead, he handed it over with the remaining one, which was as long as the thickness of his thumb. If it's this level, there's no problem.
In fact, for normal use of black bait wood, only the length and thickness of the little finger is enough. A palm-long piece of black bait wood is enough to be divided into dozens of uses. The card can be used as a torch for hundreds of times.
The office of the head of the black agency, after the two parties reached a deal.
The head of the black agency conscientiously reminded Card Xiu first.
"You are now the Director of the Treatment Home. In the past, the Treatment Home was one of the important components of the Hunter Association, and had many elite hunters under its jurisdiction. But as you know, the original Director of the Treatment Home, No. 4 Shadow Hunter Soul Siam was seriously injured while leading the elite to eliminate a group of beast-like hunters. Therefore, Feilengcui's treatment center headquarters actually suffered heavy losses in that operation, and many of the backbones were killed or injured. Less than 20% of them came down. And there are still a large number of people who need to manage and control the beast's nest in Feilengcui, which is used to hold extremely dangerous prisoners. I'm afraid there are not many people left. You may need it yourself. Reassemble in various branches..."
"Lair of Wild Beasts?" Ka Xiu raised his eyebrows slightly.
"A strong cage is used to detain hunters who are on the verge of losing control. Some are imprisoned voluntarily, and some are forcibly imprisoned after discovery. If the hunter has not completely entered the stage of beast transformation, we will not So that he can kill his companions in advance, so it is equivalent to a buffer place, or...a sanatorium..."
The black agency chief crossed his arms and said solemnly.
"What I need to remind you is that these prisoners are very dangerous, extremely dangerous. Some hunters often have explosive improvements in strength after becoming extremely malignant. There are many prisoners who can threaten the Shadow Hunters. Think about Soul Scythe Well, when she was leading a team to suppress a hunter who had turned into a wild beast, she was caught off guard and seriously injured..."
Ka Xiu listened silently and had no intention of interrupting. The head of the black agency reminded some more aspects and immediately called his assistant over.
"Thomas, help me get the badge of the Director of the Treatment Home."
Two minutes later, assistant Thomas walked in.
Three minutes later, Thomas took Card Xiu out of the building and headed towards the treatment center. It is not built together with the headquarters of the Dark Hunting Organization.
Soon, the two came to a place similar to a mental hospital. The wall is very high and entirely white, but with black markings that have been burnt by fire. There are trees planted in the wall, and the tree crown blocks the view inside. Several guards were guarding the gate.
Thomas showed the letter of appointment from the head of the black agency, and entered the treatment center together with the badge on Cardiff's chest representing Dark Hunter No. 2.
However, surprisingly, no one came to greet him. Thomas clearly told Cardiff that he had actually notified the treatment center in advance that the new director of the treatment center would be appointed in the next few days. This situation made Ka Xiu frown slightly and walked at the front without saying a word.
The gray-white cement road spreads forward, with some cold-colored buildings on both sides. It looks like a mixture of cement and steel, with green plants the only embellishment. Overall, the feeling of the treatment center is very dull, even vaguely smelling of corruption and decadence.
Moving forward, he and Thomas walked into the office building of the treatment center.
At the door, the two hunters acting as guards looked struggling. It seemed that he wanted to enter the building to alert his companions, but he didn't have the courage.
He could only let Ka Xiu, who was becoming more and more oppressive, walk in.
The treatment center and the office hall were once the busiest and most serious places.
At this moment, it has suddenly become a noisy bar and a decadent casino. A dozen hunters who were originally elites in the treatment center were playing dice, surrounded by wine bottles, and the air was filled with an unpleasant smell.
These hunters were disheveled and smelled of alcohol. Some have chicken coop heads on their heads, and some have dark circles and red bloodshot eyes. It seems that it has been decadent for a long time. Among the dozen or so hunters, there was a bald man with a shirtless upper body and a terrifying scar on his shoulder. He was completely drunk. Judging from what others call him, the man named Mani seems to be the vice president of the treatment home. In fact, he was indeed the vice president of the treatment center, but he was temporarily appointed as the deputy director half a year ago. Because during that operation, the Soul Scythe was seriously injured and both vice-deans died.
Mani was originally the captain of an elite team, but all the people on top died, so he temporarily assumed the role of deputy director. This temporary period lasts only a few months. In the past few months, some of the remaining hunters in the treatment center have naturally fallen. They experienced that terrible battle, leaving behind nightmare psychological scars. Those who are not determined will soon numb themselves with wine and sex, and their spirits will quickly become depressed.
Most of those who are determined are now serving as jailers in the lair of wild beasts. Silently waiting for the day when the treatment center will regain its strength.
Outside the office hall, a series of dull footsteps approached quickly.
At some point, a tall and strong figure blocked the door. He stood there, looking at everyone like an iron tower.
His eyes swept over the wine bottles, dice, etc. bit by bit.
The dozen hunters hadn't noticed yet and were still playing the dice game. A blond young man lost, and under the urging of the crowd, he picked up the wine bottle next to him. He was going to drink it all in one breath to show his huge capacity.
Unexpectedly, he just raised his hand to raise the wine bottle in the air. The wine bottle was pinched by another big hand, like a clamp, firmly fixed. The blond young man pulled two or three times, but it didn't help. He immediately got angry: "Which bastard ruined my mood! If I can't finish it, it's all your fault..."
The young man was about to turn his head with a curse, but suddenly felt another big hand grabbing his head like a ball. Five fingers were like an electric drill, firmly fixing it. His neck tilted back uncontrollably, and he saw a tough face looking down at him.
The expressionless face slowly said, "You will finish it."
Then, the hand holding the young man's head exerted a little force, forcing his mouth to open wide. The other hand holding the bottle gently squeezed, and the wine mixed with broken glass fell into the young man's mouth like a sharp crystal.
Gurgle, scratching the flesh and cutting the esophagus.
"Hehehe..."
The young man struggled endlessly, his face twisted, his eyes painful. Obviously, the esophagus was bleeding, and there were even large patches of wounds accumulating.
"Hey, kid, what the hell are you doing!!!"
On the other side, the bald strong man Mani stood up, his burly figure like a bear was very oppressive. Seeing his younger brother being treated like this, Mani's hideous scar on his shoulder shook, and he rushed straight over: "Looking for death!"
Bang! ! !
A fierce light flashed in Kaxiu's eyes, and his right hand palm, like a black python, gently lifted it diagonally forward. Mani's chin happened to move closer at this time, and the whole person suddenly flew up like a cannonball.
The hard bald head pierced through the ceiling with a click, blasting a big hole. His hands and feet drooped naturally, swaying like a corpse.
