Chapter 1745: Starry Seat

D·Assassination was aimed at the fifteen-eyed Ghoul in the cell. Su Xiao did not pull the trigger immediately. At this moment, Hank, Reinhardt, and others rushed into the basement.

Su Xiao signaled for these people to go out first. Sin had already escaped and was not blocked in the basement.

"You dare not... kill me."

The fifteen-eyed Ghoul leaning against the inside of the cell spoke and let out a strange laugh.

"Is that so? Then forget it."

Su Xiao stepped toward the outside of the basement.

"Wait, wait."

The fifteen-eyed Ghoul in the cell raised its arm. This very ordinary action exhausted all its strength.

"I will use, a secret, to exchange for, liberation."

The fifteen-eyed Ghoul had said Su Xiao dared not kill it earlier, but that was just a provocation. Compared to being imprisoned here, death was nothing; it was, instead, a liberation.

Imagine being imprisoned in a pitch-black cell for over a decade, or even several decades, without food, and unable to see even the most basic light. What kind of despair would that be?

A scientist had once conducted an experiment, locking several subjects in a pitch-black room and providing food, fresh water, etc. The experimental results were very unexpected. During the first half-hour of the experiment, the subjects would still overcome the loneliness by talking to themselves. After eight hours, the subjects developed mild paranoia, and after forty hours, the subjects' mental state was near collapse.

However, this fifteen-eyed Ghoul had been imprisoned for 36 years and 11 months. Its current state was: intermittent mental disorder + multiple personalities + paranoia + severe suicidal tendencies + partial loss of language ability.

The person who proposed using this basement to imprison Ghouls was definitely not mentally normal. Not to mention that capturing Ghouls and not killing them immediately was somewhat stupid, secondly, there was the risk issue.

Of course, this dark prison hadn't had new prisoners for a long time. As for the Ghouls already imprisoned here, if Sin hadn't come to rescue someone, perhaps Harold and other power-holders would have forgotten about these Ghouls, or thought they were long dead. After all, before the Ghost Ring incident, this basement hadn't been opened for several years, and the three keys were no longer in the hands of one person.

"Oh? Tell me about it. If the intelligence is valuable, I will consider wasting a bullet on you."

"Haha, hahaha..."

The fifteen-eyed Ghoul in the cell continued to laugh strangely. Once upon a time, it was also a famous powerhouse on the Ghoul Continent, once becoming the most wanted criminal with the highest bounty in the Empire. And now, it only hoped not to endure the loneliness any longer.

"I once, saw, powerhouses from other worlds. They, called themselves the Starry Seat, advocating equal trade. The human I saw, he was powerful enough to destroy the world we were in. He was also, a member of the Starry Seat. He called himself, the Leader. I was able to become a fifteen-eyed Ghoul, only, because, of one equal trade. I used, one-third of my soul, to exchange for sufficient potential."

Speaking of this, the fifteen-eyed Ghoul looked up at Su Xiao.

"I, once, was only a five-eyed Ghoul. I wanted, to join them, but, was not qualified enough."

"Starry Seat? Are you sure it's the Starry Seat?"

Su Xiao looked at the fifteen-eyed Ghoul in the cell with burning eyes because he had heard of the Starry Seat. This was a force in the Void. As for more specific intelligence, it was temporarily unknown.

Being able to learn of a force like the Starry Seat was because of Su Xiao's relationship with the Demon Race. According to information from the Demon Race, the members of the Starry Seat were very few, no more than 20, and they never snatched territory—or rather, they didn't need territory. Rather than calling this a force, it was more like a trading organization for intelligence, items, etc. But even so, the major races in the Void would not easily provoke this force.

The reason this force was so famous was that their only known member on the surface was the Blade Demon. That's right, the Blade Demon was one of the members of the Starry Seat. As for whether he would trade with other members, this remained to be verified. Many races in the Void held a skeptical attitude toward this, and some even said it was a rumor.

"That's right, it's the Starry Seat."

"Goodbye, no, farewell."

While speaking, Su Xiao pulled the trigger.

Pfft!

The bullet penetrated the fifteen-eyed Ghoul's skull. Although the gunshot was very low, Hank and the others guarding outside the door rushed in again.

【You have killed the fifteen-eyed Ghoul Kess Lecock.】

Sin had just leaped away when the blood energy around Su Xiao disappeared. The cooldown stage of Blood Beast hadn't ended yet. Although he could use it forcibly, he would likely be exhausted after using it.

The Boundary Line popped out, hooking the Codex Card: Frenzy out of the cell.

"This is Sin's accomplice. Dispose of the corpse as soon as possible."

"..."

"..."

Hank and Reinhardt didn't speak, meaning: "If you say so, then it is. Who told you to be the boss? You have the final say."

Facts proved that before doing things that violated Imperial law, it was very important to think of an excuse first. Although Su Xiao wanted to solve the other few Ghoul prisoners, the current situation clearly didn't allow it. There were many Awakened present, and this basement had special significance to the Execution Agency. Fortunately, the three keys were all in his hands, so there was no rush for this moment.

Turning and entering Fadir's cell, apart from two broken metal chains on the inside of the cell, there was nothing else.

Fadir was a sixteen-eyed Ghoul. According to the information Su Xiao knew, the plan to capture Fadir was actually initiated by the Imperial side.

That was over a decade ago. At that time, Harold had not yet taken power, and the Empire was in the midst of a struggle between the parliamentary system and the monarchy.

As a sixteen-eyed Ghoul, which was the strongest Ghoul in history, Fadir had not assembled a Ghoul army to go to war with the Empire. On the contrary, it lived very carefully.

Sin's gaze quickly scanned the new battlefield. Although he wasn't afraid of fighting Su Xiao head-on, he was still very guilty when it came to old schemers.

The result was that the Imperial army suffered over 200,000 casualties, 2,768 Awakened died, the town was almost razed to the ground, and Fadir was captured alive after exhausting its strength.

Fadir had done nothing wrong. Its sin was only because it was too powerful, causing the power-holders to be wary. In Harold's words, such a good opportunity, those fat pigs actually dispatched the army because of fear?

Standing in the cell, Su Xiao's gaze swept around. The spatial fluctuations in the cell had not yet dissipated. Clearly, Sin had used some kind of spatial item to escape. Su Xiao had once fought Sin, and he didn't believe that even after fighting to that extent, the other party would hide spatial abilities.
