Chapter 57: Cycle of Death, Initiated!

  Hualarai Four Seasons Resort, in one of the most luxurious ocean-view rooms.

  Looking at the corpse on the ground that was gradually stiffening, Li Dairen and Chu Ge couldn't help but mutter in disbelief: "Iron Hammer Brother is really dead? This is a fierce man who has undergone twenty blood energy enhancements..."

  Although Li Dairen and Chu Ge were very decisive when executing the Bloody Blade plan, after it was all over, they both broke out in a cold sweat, looking back on it with some trepidation, not daring to imagine that Blood Kill's younger brother had been beheaded by them.

  "Heh heh, with or without intention, as long as Iron Hammer Brother hasn't reached the point of being invulnerable to swords and guns, he will ultimately be unable to escape death." Su Hong let out a light laugh, but didn't seem to have much feeling about it.

  However, Su Hong also knew that this time he was able to easily kill Tie Hammers because there were too many lucky factors involved. If it weren't for the fact that they happened to meet Tie Hammer in Hawaii, and Tie Hammer was alone and unguarded, it would have been impossible for them to kill him even with multiple blood energy enhancements.

  Also, Tie Hammers' strengthening direction is mainly force and quantity attributes, with insufficient dodge ability. If he had strengthened his agility attribute instead, this assassination would have been very difficult to succeed. According to Su Hong's estimation, if he had done twenty times of agility attribute strengthening, it is estimated that he could already see the trajectory of the bullets and easily dodge them. At that time, it wouldn't be them killing Tie Hammers, but rather being killed by Tie Hammers one by one.

  So, it can only be said that Tie Hammers' luck was bad, and coincidentally met his destined nemesis in Hawaii, dying extremely miserably. If he had obediently stayed at the Blood Kill Guild base, with War Hammers around, even the leaders of the other top ten guilds wouldn't have dared to easily make a move on him.

  "This place is not suitable for staying, you quickly clean up the battle marks, we must leave quickly!" Su Hong ordered in a low voice. Killing the younger brother of the Blood Kill Guild's leader wasn't something to be taken lightly, and if they were tracked down, they would be completely finished.

  "Good!" Li Dage and Chu Ge nodded in response, carefully cleaning up any signs of battle that might expose their identities.

  While doing so, Su Hong rummaged through Tie Hammers luggage with his specially made rubber gloves, but what he found was disappointing - apart from some clothes and cash, there was nothing else.

  "Su Hong, little brother, what are you looking for?" Chu Ge was the most skilled at handling battle scars, but Li Dairen, who was helping out, couldn't help but ask.

  "Look for treasure! I was thinking that Tie Hammers' brother, as the younger brother of the Blood Kill Association's boss, must have some good stuff on him. This is our spoils of war!" Su Hong said without turning his head back.

  Upon hearing Su Hong's fierce response, Li Dairen suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and hastily advised: "Don't waste your energy, you won't be able to find it because Tie Chui's equipment is all here."

  After finishing speaking, Li Dairen pointed at Tie Chui's left chest where the heart was located, and there was a strange blood-red tattoo.

  "Brother Li, are you saying that the Blood Tattoo also has a storage function? How convenient!" Su Hong couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, but soon after thinking of something, he shook his head in doubt: "No way! If it were so, just now when we suddenly attacked, Iron Hammer would only need to think about it and he could summon the equipment and items on him. Let alone that he didn't have any, I don't believe that the younger brother of the Blood Kill Association's boss wouldn't have a few life-saving items."

  "There is a way, but it's only possible if you can summon it." Li Dairen smiled mysteriously, just about to sell the suspense, but when he saw Chu Ge's face showing disdain and moving her lips, he hurriedly explained: "Actually, it's not that the guy doesn't want to summon it, but it's simply impossible to summon it. Except in the terrifying plot of the Death Cycle, whether in the real world or on the ancient battlefield of the Shangyue space, the items and equipment on the trialer's body cannot be activated."

  "In order to ensure the balance of battle as much as possible?" Su Hong's eyes flashed with a hint of thought, and he said, after Li Dairen mentioned it, he also reacted, if in the ancient ruins battlefield, a trial player transformed into a DOTA hero and suddenly took out a piece of equipment that was even more powerful than Radiance or Butterfly, how could others play? It's better to just wait for being bloodbathed...

  "Not bad! These are the rules set by the game master, and as trial players, we can only obey them without the right to protest. Of course, if it were in a horror scenario like "Death's Cycle", there wouldn't be so many concerns and limitations. Killing people would drop equipment immediately if you're lucky... Just like my two team prop tokens back then..." Li Daire's enthusiasm grew as he spoke, but suddenly his face changed drastically, and he abruptly cut off his words."

  "What's wrong?" Su Hong asked somewhat strangely.

  "For a moment, I was so pleased with myself that I inadvertently revealed some of the terrifying plot information about Death's Week, and as a result, I was punished by the ruler and had ten Blood Coins deducted." Li Dairen said with a sorrowful face.

  "This..." Su Hong clicked his tongue in sympathy and patted Li Daren's shoulder, but the sly smile in his eyes couldn't be hidden.

  "Got it! I figured as much, you're just courting disaster!" Li Dairen rolled his eyes and said with a bad tone.

  "Haha, consider it the information fee I paid to you, alright, stop looking so gloomy." Su Hong said with a light smile. Although Li Dairen was punished by the ruler, he gained some very useful information from it - that there would be rewards for killing people in the upcoming Death Week horror plot. This way, he had to be extra careful around the people beside him.

  "It can only be comforted like this, and after counting, it's still profitable to earn ten Blood Coins." Li Dairen sighed and shook his head.

  Chu Ge, who was dealing with the aftermath of the battle on site, made a gesture to wrap things up. Su Hong and Li Dairen immediately stopped talking and didn't chat anymore. Taking advantage of the hotel's security personnel not having discovered that the hotel's surveillance computer had been invaded by a virus, they quietly and silently left.

  It was quite fortunate for them that the higher-end hotels were more focused on customer privacy, and rarely disturbed guests. So when they discovered Iron Hammer's body, it was probably two or three days later. By then, they had long since fled, and with the peak tourist season in full swing, over a million tourists had flocked to Hawaii for sightseeing. Even if the Blood Kill Association had an incredibly strong backing, it would be impossible to pinpoint them among the throngs of people.

  ……

  Three days later, in a private villa basement beehive in the suburbs of City B, Su Hong's small team's secret base, Su Hong and his three men gathered together to bid farewell before their departure.

  Just now, they almost simultaneously received a hint from the Lord, and this month's Death Week horror plot is about to start. The transmission will officially begin in ten minutes.

  "If I die, you guys will take care of the family business. Even if the assets shrink drastically, it's not a big deal as long as my wife and children can live happily and safely." Li Dairen said solemnly.

  "If I die, remember to build a tomb for me and bury me with Xiaobaihua. As for who Xiaobaihua is, I've left an envelope with explanations inside. Let's not talk about it now, lest we invite bad luck." Chuge said solemnly.

  "If I die, my parents will be left to you." Su Hong said in a low voice, although during these three days, he had bought a very comfortable big house for his parents in the city through Li Dairen's relationship, and left a bank card that could guarantee their food and clothing for the rest of their lives, but he still couldn't help but entrust them with a sentence.

  After finishing their "last words", Su Hong and the other two looked at each other, smiled, stretched out their right fists and heavily bumped them together, shouting in unison: "No matter what, we'll be back alive!"

  As soon as the words fell, the tattoo of the heart on their left chest began to burn fiercely, emitting an unprecedented eerie blood glow that dyed the entire underground beehive into a strange blood color.

  The next moment, the cold and ruthless voice of the master also sounded in their ears: "On the last day of the month, the week of death arrives, the countdown to transmission begins..."
