Chapter 1725

In the dim and damp hallway, silence, deathly silence.

Harold was very calm, even though two councilmen had been murdered one after another in just a few hours.

You have to know that Councilman Jones and Councilman Leopold were the leaders of the radical and conservative factions. With them there, the other ten councilmen could only shrink back. Once the two of them died, the power structure of the council system would be leaderless.

Even more serious was that the golden triangle formed by Harold, Jones, and Leopold had been broken, which made one wonder if the next target would be Harold.

"Kuku Lin, what I say next is confidential. Even if you and I might die in the near future, you cannot reveal it to the outside world."

Harold spoke in a deep voice; he seemed to have vaguely guessed something.

"I will find others to investigate the matter of Jones and Leopold being murdered. If I am murdered tonight, you must go to..."

Harold's voice became lower and lower. A few minutes later, the two walked out of the building half-built underground.

Just as the two entered the Parliament Palace, the red-haired man who had gone to handle the eye chamber hurried back and whispered something to Harold.

"Hmm, got it."

Harold's expression was as usual. After hesitating for a moment, he handed a key to Su Xiao.

"Keep it for the time being, including Nancy's."

Su Xiao didn't speak. After taking the key that was only one-third of the whole, he took Xiang Bubu Wang and Amu and left the Parliament Palace.

Just as he walked out of the Parliament Palace, Su Xiao's expression gradually became ugly. Although he now had Harold's support, the hidden dangers left behind before had completely erupted.

Harold should have already guessed something, otherwise he wouldn't have handed the key to the Execution Agency basement to Su Xiao and let him keep all three keys at the same time. You have to know that with these three keys, Su Xiao could open the Execution Agency basement, where there were too many secrets.

The reason Harold did this was because he wanted to withdraw from a certain matter, thereby calming the impact caused by the deaths of the two councilmen.

Su Xiao had been searching for eye chambers before, and had already achieved some results. Perhaps it wouldn't be long before the second, third, and even fourth eye chambers were found one after another.

Just at this time, Councilman Jones was suddenly murdered, and his corpse was covered in eyeballs. There was no need for deduction; everyone could think that his death was related to the eye chambers and the Ghouls.

This was a counterattack from the Ghost Ring forces. Although they had been beaten all along, they only made one move and killed two councilmen.

Moreover, there was a Some Qiyuezhe who wanted to buy Councilman Jones's head for 800,000 Paradise Coins before. That could almost be taken as a provocation, or rather, the other party wanted to use 800,000 Paradise Coins to buy Su Xiao's position as Legion Commander of the Execution Agency.

It could also be understood as: you are very troublesome, so here is 800,000 Paradise Coins + a chance to change the mission; don't interfere with my actions again.

Su Xiao directly ignored this kind of semi-threatening transaction and exchanged for the highest-value Ghost Treasure. Just a few minutes later, that Some Qiyuezhe bought the second-ranked Secret Tome Card: Greed. Judging from the speed of the purchase, the other party was enraged.

A few hours later, Su Xiao ferreted out an eye chamber. That Some Qiyuezhe hiding in the dark was like someone whose tail had been stepped on, killing Councilman Jones and Councilman Leopold in a short period of time.

Ask yourself, two councilmen died one after another, and the cause of death was likely related to eye chambers, Ghouls, and the Ghost Ring. Who would the empire's high-ups find to be responsible for this?

The Seventh Division? Impossible; that was just an intelligence and cleanup unit. The other party dared to kill councilmen; at this time, of course, they would send the empire's strongest mystery-side unit: the Execution Agency.

As the leader of the Execution Agency, Su Xiao was the first to be summoned by Harold, even though he was dealing with matters related to the eye chambers.

Perhaps in the eyes of that Some Qiyuezhe hiding in the dark, Su Xiao would be dragged down by the councilman assassination case, or rather.

However, Harold was not a pig teammate. He separated Su Xiao from the councilman assassination case at the first opportunity, took this matter upon himself, and significantly delegated power, handing that key to Su Xiao.

The meaning was already very clear: Kuku Lin, you go deal with the eye chambers and the Ghost Ring; that side is completely handed over to you. Acting first and reporting later could only be considered minor power; that key was the special privilege. In other words, Su Xiao could use certain things in the basement of the Execution Agency headquarters—some extremely powerful and extremely dangerous things. Of course, a certain thing in the deepest part must never be released.

With a teammate like Harold whose IQ was online—no, whose IQ was burning brightly—Su Xiao's pressure was greatly reduced, but this couldn't make up for one disadvantage: he was the second to complete the first ring of the promotion mission.

The earlier the first ring of the promotion mission was completed, the higher the intelligence and rewards obtained should be. The intelligence Su Xiao knew was about the eye chambers; as for the intelligence obtained by the first place, it was temporarily unknown.

What could be determined was that the Some Qiyuezhe hiding in the dark had already changed camps, from the empire's side to the Ghost Ring's side. Perhaps it was for this reason that the other party completed the first ring of the promotion mission at such a fast speed.

Su Xiao had thought before that in the promotion mission, he might be hostile to other Some Qiyuezhe. This was the mission style of the Reincarnation Paradise: the strong continue to promote, and the weak die.

Although cruel, compared to the Second-Tier promotion assessment, the current method was obviously easier for people to accept. The Second-Tier promotion mission was a battle royale, dropping all Some Qiyuezhe onto a huge island to start survival + battle royale + treasure hunting + siege by local indigenous forces.

Right now, it was letting the Some Qiyuezhe compete in martial power, IQ, action, etc. Only the winner could continue to promote. As for the forced execution for mission failure, it wasn't needed at all; if you lost, you died, no need for the Reincarnation Paradise to execute you.

Walking on the streets in the city center, Su Xiao was deciding on one thing: whether to solve that unknown Some Qiyuezhe first, or search for eye chambers first.

After thinking about it, Su Xiao decided to search for eye chambers first. When he found the first eye chamber, the other party was like someone whose chrysanthemum had been poked with an iron shovel, immediately coming out to kill the councilmen.

If Su Xiao found more than five eye chambers, how would the other party react? Moreover, Su Xiao could never figure out one point: why didn't the other party use physical means to destroy himself? As long as he was killed, perhaps the effect would be better than killing the councilmen? Or rather? Did the other party know the combat power on his side?

Moreover, at the beginning, the other party intended to use 800,000 Paradise Coins to persuade him to quit. Someone who would do that kind of behavior, no matter how you looked at it, couldn't complete the plan to assassinate the councilmen, and do it without leaving a trace.

This made Su Xiao wonder: could it be that there were two Some Qiyuezhe hiding in the dark? One of them could summon 'ghosts' and intended to persuade him to quit with benefits? Or rather, was this also an interlocking trap?

As for the other person, this one was much more cunning. No negotiation, no trace, directly killing the councilmen to hinder Su Xiao's actions. If Harold were cowardly and not ruthless enough, Su Xiao would indeed be hindered quite a bit.

Unknown Some Qiyuezhe 1: Ability related to ghosts, likes to scheme against others, but IQ is not high enough to be terrifying. Belongs to the primary old schemer level, combat power should not be weak.

Unknown Some Qiyuezhe 2: Super old schemer, everything else unknown.

As for the Ghost Ring leader, Sin, the other party was highly likely cooperating with those two Some Qiyuezhe.

Deducing to this point, Su Xiao had walked to the front of the Execution Agency headquarters. Gus, Hank, and Reinhardt were already waiting here in advance.

Su Xiao didn't speak, took the three of them, and walked towards the Execution Agency headquarters. Just as he entered the front door, he saw Madam Nancy walking towards him.

The two brushed past each other, and a key appeared in Su Xiao's hand.

【Hint: Hunter has collected the 'Execution Agency Headquarters Basement Key'.】

Taking the three keys, Su Xiao entered an office on the fifth floor of the Execution Agency. This was Madam Nancy's office.

There was a faint fragrance in the office. The sound of mechanisms operating came, and with a boom, the wall near the inside of the office opened, and a steel-structured elevator appeared. This elevator was the only passage to the basement. Su Xiao was prepared to enter there to take out some things. m.
