Chapter 1728: The Traitor Talent

Being inside the Eye Chamber, Su Xiao felt vaguely uncomfortable. A kind of nearly twisted energy drifted here. This energy was extremely impure; it didn't have strong corrosiveness, but it was also difficult to devour and extinguish.

If the Green Steel Shadow energy was the color of a pure sapphire, then the energy inside the Eye Chamber was a mass of gray-black sludge, mixed with all kinds of suspicious impurities, or rather, all kinds of thoughts—crazy and chaotic thoughts.

It was like various memories had been shattered and eventually kneaded into a ball. At the very least, Su Xiao could not understand what these thoughts represented.

Su Xiao did not want to figure out the source of this energy; that didn't have much direct relation to him. He wanted to know more about why the three Eye Chambers had stacked together to form an almost indestructible Eye Chamber.

Judging from the situation of the patients in the insane asylum, this situation might not be a coincidence, but an inevitability achieved by some factor.

Mental patients have broad thinking? Their twisted thoughts attracted the Eye Chamber? This possibility could not be ruled out.

What Su Xiao couldn't figure out even more was that those patients had actually repelled the Phantoms of the Ghost Ring organization, completing a homeland defense battle. This was even more surprising, or perhaps those Phantoms were just there to probe?

After a preliminary observation of the three-in-one Eye Chamber, Su Xiao prepared to relay the situation here to Harold and let that red-haired man handle it; the other party was the professional.

Su Xiao pushed open the tin door of the Eye Chamber. Just as he was about to step away, he heard a faint sound from behind.

Clang.

Zhan Long Shan was unsheathed, and light blue electric arcs flickered on Su Xiao's body. He could be certain that he had heard some kind of sound just now.

Although the Eye Chamber was filled with eyeballs, these rotating eyeballs were close to energy bodies and would not make physical friction sounds.

Su Xiao's eyes scanned the Eye Chamber, but he found nothing unusual. The faint sound just now seemed to be an illusion.

The Devouring Core ability was activated, and blue smoke enveloped Su Xiao. His vision changed, and the entire world turned black and white. In this state, he could clearly see all kinds of energy, and his perception of life energy was particularly keen. Previously, in a certain world, even the Goddess of Luck hiding in a different dimension could not escape detection in this state.

In the black and white world, Su Xiao saw an eyeball among the many eyeballs that faintly revealed a black light, as if black flames were burning on it.

It was not a life form, nor was it an energy body, but an object existing in the real plane.

Su Xiao walked forward slowly. Through the judgment of his intuition, this thing was not dangerous.

Closing the Devouring Core, Su Xiao's vision gradually brightened, and the world returned to its original colors.

Crack, crack, crack...

A crystal layer clung to Su Xiao's right hand. This was not cowardice, but caution. Nearly 10% of contractors died from exploring unknown things.

Su Xiao's three fingers reached into the space between the energy eyeballs. Enduring the slight psychological discomfort, he touched a spherical object. It felt quite hard. Su Xiao was not as calm as he appeared; he also felt nausea and other discomforts, but it just didn't show obviously.

With a snap, Su Xiao seemed to have torn something. A pitch-black eyeball was pulled out by him. This eyeball was two sizes larger than a normal eyeball, and there were three golden pupils in the front, forming a standard triangle.

【The Hunter has obtained 'Unknown Eyeball'.】

【Unknown Eyeball】

Origin:???

Type:???

Usage Effect:???

Introduction:???

……

Seeing this pile of question marks, Su Xiao's eyes revealed confusion. If it were just the origin and other things that were unknown, that would be fine, but this unknown eyeball actually had no quality, rating, or selling price. This was a very rare situation.

If it were an ordinary item, Reincarnation Paradise would at least give a simple introduction. That pile of??? indicated that even if this thing didn't have much use, its tier was not low. Yet, for such a thing, Reincarnation Paradise neither marked its quality nor provided a selling function.

Although very confused, Su Xiao prepared to study this thing when he had free time. Just as he was about to put this thing into his storage space, he was surprised to find that this thing could not be put into the storage space.

With a heart full of confusion, Su Xiao left the Eye Chamber and let Gus run an errand to the Council Palace.

Forty minutes later, the red-haired man arrived. Su Xiao did not use the Apostle's Eye to detect the other party's data. Rashly using the Apostle's Eye to detect others, once discovered, there was a high probability of causing conflict. The red-haired man's aura was very special; he seemed like an Awakened one, but also had some aura of a Phantom.

【The Hunter has notified Monarch Harold of the location of the Eye Chambers (3, 12, 15), and you have obtained 9% of the World's Source.】

【Promotion Mission: Sixteen Eye Chambers, completed (4/16). After finding at least five Eye Chambers, this mission can be completed.】

Only one Eye Chamber short, and Su Xiao could complete the second ring of the mission. Of course, if he could find the 'Core', he could directly complete the promotion mission.

At the same time, on the west side of Zuer City, the Tranquil Cemetery.

Tall tombstones and statues stood here. The deceased buried here were all officials or heroes who had made huge contributions to the Empire. Some were famous, while others could not even leave their names on the tombstones.

And under the largest mausoleum, this place had been converted into a secret base. Sin was hiding here. For some reason, this mausoleum was actually the resting place of Harold's ancestors. In other words, Sin had dug up Harold's ancestral graves.

In the dim burial chamber, the firelight flickered. It did not appear narrow here; the four walls were made of stone, and a solidified mucus solved problems like water seepage and ventilation.

Sin lay on a stone coffin, crossing his legs, wondering what he was thinking.

"The fourth one."

A female voice came from the darkness, her voice somewhat dissatisfied.

"Be patient. Waiting is the best choice right now."

A voice that could not be identified as male or female appeared.

"Still waiting? By the time that guy finds more than five Eye Chambers, I might not be able to hold on here. Mr. J, you are just talking wind."

The female voice did not continue; Sin was present after all, and some things she couldn't say too directly.

"Believe me, waiting is the best choice right now."

That Mr. J still had his original tone. Every sentence he said seemed to be a joke, full of playfulness.

"I feel that eliminating him physically is a better choice. He is currently the Legion Commander of the Execution Agency; how could anyone obtain such a high position in such a short time?"

The female voice was clearly dissatisfied, but hindered by Mr. J's mystery and strength, she did not flare up.

"The main reason for waiting is... I can't beat him. I tried a long time ago."

"Huh?"

The girl in the darkness was a bit stunned. She thought the other party would continue to pretend to be mysterious. Who knew that Mr. J's answer was so sincere, bluntly stating he couldn't beat him.

"That's still better than waiting for death."

The woman in the darkness stood up and turned to walk into an underground passage.

"Fate is always so wonderful. Which side will you eventually choose to stand on?"

Rustle, rustle, playing cards flipped. Mr. J in the darkness grinned. It was a mouth covered in lipstick. He watched the back of his temporary teammate walking away, just like seeing his former self. Although he could keep the other party here forever, there was no need; the other party was a very important part of the plan.

……

In the underground passage, a slightly frail figure stopped. She looked back, and a smile appeared on her face instead.

"I'm not going to throw my life away. That's a monster who slaughtered Stan."

The woman was not old and could be categorized as a cute girl, especially her delicate skin, which was impressive. And this person was none other than the wet nurse, Elegy, whom Su Xiao had met once on the stone bridge. Her appearance was holy, but her inner self was thick darkness. As for her three temporary teammates—Earring, Butcher, and Mandola—they had already cooled down.

"Hmm~, what should I do? Return to the embrace of the Empire again? But the Empire is already a 'stepmother'."

Elegy not only had a unique aura, but her talent ability also made people want to beat her up. That talent destined her to be a super traitor. Heaven knows which faction she would eventually belong to.
