Absolute Death Game-Chapter 437 - 44 Ancestral Dragon Mirage (Transitional Chapter)_2
However, obeying orders is one of Eagle Eye’s virtues. Fortunately, he had placed a towel under the dagger before making his move, and only pulled it out after the bleeding had stopped. Therefore, he had all the blood under his control, which made the scene look exceptionally clean. Next, Eagle Eye took out a large bag and placed the general’s body inside. The bag had a layer of plastic on the inside but looked like canvas from the outside—extremely sturdy and leakproof, another provision from the organization.
Actually, the best method would be to strangle the target, but Eagle Eye feared the struggle before death could attract unnecessary trouble.
After tidying up, Eagle Eye went to the window and peeked outside. It was the end of the workday, cars were driving in occasionally, and some residents, having just returned from shopping, were walking around downstairs with their grocery baskets in hand.
It seemed he would have to endure a while longer. Eagle Eye went to the door and locked it from the inside. Since waiting was somewhat boring, he sat down in the chair at the desk, his hand resting on some documents the general had just reviewed—a file bag marked "Top Secret."
Top-secret documents? What could be inside? Eagle Eye felt curious, but it was outside the scope of his duties. He thought it better not to complicate matters unnecessarily.
He looked out the window again. The situation below hadn’t improved much. It seemed best to wait until it got a bit darker. His shadow ability was perfect for use in the dark. Fortunately, the daylight hours were shorter now; it should be time soon.
Sitting at the desk once more, the two black characters for "top secret" seemed to itch at his heart. Unable to resist any longer, Eagle Eye put on gloves and took hold of the file, pulling out a bundle of papers. The information inside was quite fragmented and Eagle Eye was rather baffled by it.
Some photos showed a metallic sphere, seemingly placed in an old house, and then some experimental data. Glancing at the sky, Eagle Eye felt at ease and started to look through it from the beginning. The more he read, the more his heart raced; the file actually contained experiments on the "death game" from thirty years ago. Was it possible that this game had been in existence for thirty years?
And Huo Guangxiong had been the organizer back then, but what did they mean when they said the experimental subjects lost control? What was meant by anomalies? Lost experimental subjects—did they die?
It looked like Ancestral Dragon didn’t send him on this mission for no reason. Thinking this, Eagle Eye put the documents back and, after a moment’s thought, sealed the file and hid it inside his jacket.

The sky was about right now. Eagle Eye hoisted the general’s body over his shoulder, skittered across rooftops and walls, and under the cover of night, quickly left the residential compound. Approximately half an hour later, the old general’s remains were reduced to ash within Furnace.
"Eagle Eye, back already?" A young officer at the base greeted him warmly. Eagle Eye was generally approachable and knew about seventy to eighty percent of the people there, even though he couldn’t recall all of their names. Exchanging pleasantries along the way, Eagle Eye swiftly headed to the drop-off location for his mission.
After delivering the general’s remains to the specified place, they awarded him a medal to confirm his mission’s successful completion. After completing the task and receiving his reward—ten thousand yuan and a silver-quality item from the game—Eagle Eye happily turned and left. Just as he stepped out, he bumped into Deputy Qiu.
His rank was much higher than Eagle Eye’s, but since they came from the same hometown, they had maintained a decent relationship since getting to know each other. Their most common pastime was playing a poker game native to their home region.
"Old Qiu, when are you going to pay back the money you owe me?" Eagle Eye joked as soon as he saw Deputy Qiu. They didn’t really gamble with real money when they played poker, but they did play with some stakes—chips they made themselves, sometimes ludicrously writing figures in the millions, pretending to be wealthy gamblers during the game. Sometimes when one of them ran out of money, they would borrow from the other and repay with chips the next time. So the money Eagle Eye was referring to wasn’t real; it was a coded invitation for a game of poker.
But Deputy Qiu seemed stunned upon hearing this and stared blankly at Eagle Eye for a while, "Oh, Eagle Eye, how much do I owe you?"
Eagle Eye was also taken aback upon hearing this. Naturally, his name wasn’t Eagle Eye; that was the codename given to him by the higher-ups after he gained his ability. In private, Deputy Qiu would call him by his nickname—Stone. Being addressed so formally as Eagle Eye made him feel uncomfortable, but he didn’t protest. Suspicion crept into his mind as he replied, "Fifty thousand."
"Oh, all right. Give me your account number, and I’ll transfer it to you later." Deputy Qiu fumbled in his pocket for paper and a pen and handed them to Eagle Eye. Eagle Eye looked at him curiously, scribbled a series of numbers, and Deputy Qiu immediately turned and left with it.
Eagle Eye looked around above and to the sides, suspecting that new cameras might have been installed or that some superior officer was observing, which is why Deputy Qiu had to pretend. However, he saw no one around, and what unsettled him most was the text message that pinged on his phone shortly after. When he checked it, his account had indeed received an additional fifty thousand yuan.
Eagle Eye’s heart sank. He wasn’t a rookie or a fool; what could this mean?
