Chapter 1703: Eyeball

In the room next door, the layout was the same as Eve's room, only there was no bed. A girl was curled up in the corner, holding her knees with both hands, with several bloodstains on her face.

Su Xiao squatted in front of the girl. This was Eve's sister, Yul. From her mental state, one could see that her previous treatment wasn't good, and she had even suffered preliminary torture.

Actually, when seeing Eve, Su Xiao had already roughly judged that it was unlikely she had plotted to assassinate Monarch Harold, because the other party's body was very weak, and she couldn't even hold a knife steady, let alone assassinate others? Clearly, she was influenced by unknown power.

However, there was one thing that was hard to figure out, which was where the dagger that could cut iron like mud came from. That wasn't something from the Council Palace, and the only person who had contacted Eve recently was her sister.

Su Xiao squatted in front of Yul and looked her up and down. The first feeling was weird—not that the girl's aura was weird, but that she seemed weird compared to Eve.

Both were prisoners. Although Eve gave people a gentle and peaceful feeling, there was a faint fishy smell on her body. That kind of smell, Su Xiao had smelled on Ghouls last night; it was the smell of some kind of energy.

As for Yul, there was no such smell on her. And recently, only she had contacted Eve. That dagger was one of the most likely sources.

Eve, as a human, had the smell of a Ghoul, so her previous behavior was likely controlled. As for Yul, except for contacting Eve, she had no suspicion.

Su Xiao was just about to speak when a light knock came. After opening the door, it was Iseri Bonnie.

Bonnie signaled Su Xiao to get closer. She stood on tiptoe and whispered something in Su Xiao's ear.

"Are you sure?"

"I bet my life on it. If it's not accurate, you can hang me."

"Hmm."

"Hmm? You just said 'hmm', right? Hey, hey, we are partners. Cherish my life, you nasty Legion Commander."

Bonnie laughed. She leaned over to look at Yul in the room. That gaze was like looking at a mentally disabled person.

Bang, the iron door closed. Bonnie, who was almost hit by the door, laughed even more happily. That smile was like a little devil with wings.

Su Xiao walked slowly to Yul and took out a pocket watch from his arms.

"Found it. Unfortunately, it only lasted for a few minutes. This is the last chance. It wants to see you one last time. I didn't expect that thing to be so infatuated with you."

"What?"

Yul looked up at Su Xiao.

"Do you want to see it? You are, after all, a relative of Monarch Harold. It will definitely die, but you won't. Thank your sister."

Su Xiao rubbed his fingers while speaking, and invisible powder dispersed.

"What are you talking about? I don't quite understand."

Yul looked at Su Xiao blankly. For some reason, her forehead was stinging, and her mental state began to be muddled.

"Forget it. Monarch Harold's words should be more credible in your eyes, but he doesn't seem to agree with your last meeting. After all, that dagger was stabbed into his chest."

"..."

Yul still looked blank. Just then, Harold pushed the door and entered. He came to Yul and frowned after seeing the wounds on her face.

"How did you do things."

Harold looked at Su Xiao. Su Xiao didn't speak.

"I said, don't hurt her."

"Your Majesty..."

"Shut up."

Harold gave a "low drink," and Su Xiao stopped speaking.

"Yul, you have suffered. I once said that no matter what mistakes you sisters make, I will forgive you, even if you... fall in love with a Ghoul, because I believe in your kindness."

"Really...?"

Yul looked up at Harold, full of tears.

"Oh? You really have a relationship with a Ghoul?"

The smile on Harold's face gradually disappeared. Those eyes were ready to devour people!

"It shouldn't be wrong."

Su Xiao and Harold both looked at Yul. At this moment, Harold no longer had the appearance of scolding Su Xiao for poor work.

"?!"

Yul's mouth opened slightly, suddenly recovering from that muddled state. Her first thought was, what happened to me just now? How did I say my inner thoughts?

Even if Yul had no experience, she understood the current situation. She was deceived. What scolding, what "I believe in you sisters," were all fake.

"Catch that Ghoul as soon as possible. It's the key."

"Yul being caught should have already alerted it. The possibility is not high, but it's worth a try."

"Yul was arrested secretly, and it was this morning. Her residence hasn't even been checked. There should still be hope. Do your best."

Harold left this sentence and walked out of the room. When he passed by the red-haired man, he whispered: "Handle them all."

The red-haired man was startled, then nodded. Harold seemed to think of something and stopped.

"Let Eve go decently."

Leaving this sentence, Harold's figure disappeared at the corner of the stairs.

"Harold, you will die a terrible death!"

Yul's roar spread far away. The next moment.

Pfft!

A hook blade cut off Yul's head. The headless corpse fell to the ground, and blood splattered on the stained wall.

At most less than a minute, the red-haired man holding the dripping hook blade walked out of the last room. He wiped the blood on his face and nodded to Su Xiao.

After the red-haired man walked far away, Bonnie, who was leaning in the corner, dared to breathe heavily. Her legs were shaking uncontrollably. She was just smart, but today, she witnessed how ruthless the Empire's power-holder was. Was the man who slaughtered his wife's whole family with one sentence the Monarch who played chess with her in the afternoon and was beaten by her for 12 games?

"Don't just stand there, let's go."

Su Xiao walked toward the stairs. He didn't know how many similar situations he had experienced. Right now, it could only be considered a small scene. He had even seen brothers and sisters give up their humanity for royal power.

"Oh? Oh."

Bonnie steadied herself and followed behind Su Xiao. Until now, her little heart was still thumping, as if it were about to jump out of her chest.

It wasn't anyone else who suggested Yul had a problem, but Bonnie. She just made a suggestion to Su Xiao, not expecting it to develop into the current situation.

Half an hour later, Yul's former residence, a multi-story apartment. It was hard to imagine that the sister of the Monarch's wife would live with civilians, and it was a rental.

A lame man wearing a hat walked into the apartment and went up to the fourth floor along the stairs. He pressed his head against a wooden door. A moment later, he shook his head somewhat disappointed and kicked the wooden door. Bang~

"This is... Ugh~"

The lame Awakened retched. It was hard to imagine that such a person would be stimulated to retch by the scene in the room.

A few minutes later, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, with a bitter face, came to the room. It stepped over the broken wooden door.

"Ugh~"

Hearing Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's retching, Bonnie stopped and subconsciously wanted to retreat, but was pushed into the room by Su Xiao.

"Ugh!"

Bonnie was very straightforward, bending over and vomiting directly. In less than a few seconds, she almost vomited her gall.

Su Xiao stopped at the door, his brow furrowed. On the walls of the room, there were densely packed eyeballs! Eyeballs of various creatures were embedded in the walls.

"Let me... go out first, I beg you."

Bonnie grabbed Su Xiao's hem, full of begging.

"No problem."

"Phew, I didn't expect you to be so reasonable this time. Quick, let me go out to get some air."

"You'll adapt in a while."

"Wah (crying)."

Su Xiao looked around the room. Compared to the terrifying scene on the walls, the situation on the ground was much better. A red array was carved on the slate floor. Judging by the color, this wasn't blood, but a red fuel.

That kind of energy with a faint rot smell surged in the array. Su Xiao pressed one hand on the ground.

Boom!

A roar came from downstairs. Su Xiao rushed to the window in a few steps. Downstairs, a Ghoul over three meters tall was fighting with several Awakened, looking completely unyielding, scattering those Awakened in a few rounds and fleeing toward the east of the city.

Su Xiao punched and shattered the window, falling directly from the fourth floor. As soon as he landed, he disappeared from the spot. ===== CHAPTER 1704 =====
