Chapter 253: Chapter 119 Armless Assassin

The next morning, Gao Xin slowly awoke.

Before he even opened his eyes, he smelled a strong medicinal odor and almost believed he had been awakened by the fumes.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he found himself wrapped in a thick layer of black mud heavy with the smell of medicine.

It was a huge plaster that submerged everything below his head, wrapping him tight like a rice dumpling.

However, Gao Xin did not feel constricted, and inside it was hollow, having already formed a shell.

With a little effort, he broke out of the shell and sat up.

Gao Jiaoji and Yao Junyan were right beside him, immediately coming over with concern, "Child, you’ve finally awakened. How are your wounds?"

"Don’t worry, I’m completely healed; I didn’t mean to make you worry," Gao Xin replied, his eyes curving into a smile.

His injuries had been severe, and waking up to find his parents caring for him was a wonderful thing indeed.

Yao Junyan held up a finger and shushed, "Then keep your voice down, Su Lei was guarding you all night and has only just fallen asleep."

Gao Xin saw Su Lei sitting by the bed, holding his Meteor Crossbow, his head resting on the bed, asleep and looking very tired.

The battle last night had been tough for everyone, and Su Lei had also fought to near-death.

That was why Gao Xin had not hesitated to use a Grade-B repair serum to save him. Had he hesitated even a moment longer, Su Lei might not have survived.

Compared to him, he could endure, leaving the rest to Su Lei and then slipping deep into his brain to maintain the last bit of life force.

Humans have the ability to hibernate; it’s just difficult to trigger, but he could fully control it, reducing his metabolism and delaying death to enter a state of suspended animation.

Of course, if his body was stimulated strongly or if something severe happened nearby, he would still wake up.

Because his resting did not mean subconscious personas like Silver Hand and his parents would rest.

In fact, his remaining senses were still on alert, only the alert area would become very small, just enough to mind his immediate surroundings.

After all, his body had been utterly drained by then.

"It seems Su Lei managed things quite well after I fell asleep."

Seeing no injuries on Su Lei, he tiptoed out of bed.

Gao Xin did not wake Su Lei, but observed the room.

A very ordinary hut built from simple high-molecular material panels.

This type of panel was dirt cheap in the Silver Tower; with just ten points, one could build a house with four rooms, a living room, and a bathroom, which class people could set up in an hour.

Thus, in the slums of various villages, one could see these kinds of huts everywhere.

Gao Xin looked around and found clothes already prepared on the table.

His own clothes were in tatters, and he was completely naked now.

Gao Xin immediately picked up the clothes, but these clothes were strange, embroidered with words.

On the left chest in flowing script intertwined with two beautifully calligraphed words: Revenge.

On the back were also words: Every betrayal will be settled.

Gao Xin raised an eyebrow; this didn’t look like ordinary clothes, more like the uniform of some gang.

Nevertheless, he put them on and then walked out of the house.

Outside was a courtyard, the walls also simply constructed from panels, all emphasizing thriftiness.

Silver Hand was squatting at the gate and looked up as he came out, "All good?"

Gao Xin smiled, "Just a sleep, and my body seems completely healed."

Silver Hand said, "Of course, Su Lei didn’t use up the Grade-B repair serum, so the remainder could be used for you."

"I see... What else happened last night?" Gao Xin asked.

Listening to Silver Hand’s report, Gao Xin quickly grasped the situation from the previous night.

After hearing everything, he was speechless; Su Lei had actually brought him to Yoshihara Village, no wonder he hadn’t seen anyone else.

And this kid was too trusting of others! If this were a trap house, he might have had to rise from near death again to fight his way out alongside Su Lei.

Luckily, the kid was lucky, the people he encountered were decent.

They could have taken advantage of his ignorance and secretly swallowed half of the repair serum, but they didn’t. Instead, they had treated him for free.

They provided him with several hundred kilograms of medicinal mud; he checked, and it still contained some nanomaterials, perfect for repair use.

"Speaking of which, this medicinal mud is really powerful..."

"Only half a repair serum wouldn’t have been enough to heal me, yet I woke up completely fine; it’s my self-healing ability combined with the effects of this medicinal mud."

"This medicinal mud itself has very strong medicinal effects, as if it were specially developed for repairing strong beings."

Gao Xin moved around a bit, but didn’t dare to leave Su Lei alone and go out wandering.

He then asked, "Where’s my Demon Blade?"

Gao Xin only saw Su Lei holding his Meteor Crossbow but saw no trace of the Demon Blade.

Silver Hand said, "It was beside the bed. Su Lei was keeping an eye on it for you."

"But after he fell asleep, an assassin in a black robe came in quietly and pulled the Demon Blade out from his arms. The whole process didn’t wake Su Lei."

Gao Xin frowned slightly, "An assassin? Was he here last night? Is he from the Revenge Gang?"

Silver Hand replied, "He didn’t appear before; I’m not sure if he’s from the Revenge Gang."

"I emitted a killing intent, and he was startled, almost waking Su Lei. However, he released a pheromone that kept Su Lei sleeping; then, he took the Demon Blade and drifted away."

Gao Xin’s mouth twitched slightly, thinking it was troublesome.

His blade had been stolen!

It might be someone from the Revenge Gang, or it might not be, and even if it was, without finding that person, the Revenge Gang could deny it.
