Chapter 1851: Flipping the Table

In the bedroom on the third floor of the castle, a giant rectangular fish tank occupied most of the bedroom. The water inside was very clear. Near the top, a mermaid was floating, her upper body wrapped in cloth strips, with blood vaguely seeping out, diluted by the clear water.

Dong, dong, dong.

Su Xiao knocked on the giant fish tank. The mermaid inside had no reaction, as if she had been broken.

"A part of her brain is missing."

The Old Monk tapped his chest lightly, drawing an inverted triangle.

"Blumer did it?"

Su Xiao had long expected that Blumer wouldn't easily hand over Queen Moon. Cutting off a piece of her brain wasn't impossible.

"Unlikely. His Majesty once... did something similar."

The Old Monk sighed low. He had prepared to help Queen Moon find relief before, but was stopped by Su Xiao. Blumer risked such a big risk to hide Queen Moon. Su Xiao absolutely didn't believe there was no secret in it.

"Does she have any abnormal reactions?"

"No, she hasn't eaten any food, but there are no signs of weakness."

"Is that so? Then you stay here and observe her."

Su Xiao walked toward the outside of the room. Just as he reached the corridor, he heard a thumping sound.

"My lord, I can't hold on anymore."

Zos, covered in black smoke, was leaning against a door with his back. The thumping sound was coming from inside the door.

"Move aside."

Su Xiao waved his hand at Zos, and crystal layers clung to his hands.

Just as Zos dodged, the black smoke on the door dissipated. With a crisp sound, a figure rushed out from inside the door.

"Roar!!"

Like a beast's roar, the little girl who had been assimilated changed greatly. Her height rose to about 1.7 meters, her whole body skin withered, full of black spots.

Su Xiao stepped forward, and the boundary-breaking line popped out, wrapping around this humanoid monster.

A moment later, the humanoid monster was tied up like a zongzi. Compared to Prisoner · Chila, this guy was more active and had a strong desire to attack.

Su Xiao had just prepared to study the characteristics of this monster when the Old Monk pushed the door and walked out from the room behind.

"Queen Moon has stood up."

"Hmm? Stood up?"

Su Xiao didn't understand what the Old Monk was saying for a moment. He signaled Amu to freeze the humanoid monster, and then walked quickly back to the bedroom before.

At this time, Queen Moon had turned from a dead fish into a "female ghost." She stood straight in the fish tank like that, her fish tail stretched straight, the scales on the lower half of her body standing up, like sharp little knives.

Blumer had studied Queen Moon for a long time. From the point that the other party was willing to hand over Queen Moon, one could judge that the other party had gained nothing from Queen Moon.

Su Xiao didn't think he was a chosen one, that just by coming into contact with Queen Moon, the other party would have any revelation or send benefits. The current situation was more likely to be danger. This clearly was a habit of being unlucky.

Yesterday afternoon after four o'clock, someone had quietly thrown Queen Moon under the outer wall of the manor. From then until now, Queen Moon had been maintaining the state of a dead fish.

"Queen Moon, Dead Silence City resident..."

Su Xiao touched his chin. He was considering what would happen if these two were put together.

Seemingly guessing Su Xiao's idea, the Old Monk shook his head, meaning he didn't know what would happen either, and trying had risks.

Su Xiao hesitated for a moment before coming to the fish tank, knocking on the fish tank with one punch, and the glass and ice shattered at the same time.

Amu saw this and released the cold ice on the humanoid monster, throwing it toward Queen Moon.

With a plop, the humanoid monster and Queen Moon fell together. Their gazes stared fixedly at each other, and they reached out their arms at the same time.

Queen Moon's lips opened and closed, seemingly singing something, but Su Xiao only heard all kinds of strange noises.

The humanoid monster seemed to be deflated, its body shrinking rapidly, and brown ashes rose from its body. When the brown ashes completely dissipated, a naked

Su Xiao hesitated for a moment before arriving in front of the fish tank, tapping it lightly with his fist. The glass and ice shattered simultaneously.

Seeing this, Amu dispelled the cold ice on the humanoid monster and tossed it toward the Moon Queen.

With a splash, the humanoid monster and the Moon Queen fell together. Their gazes locked onto each other, and they simultaneously reached out their arms.

The Moon Queen's lips moved, seemingly singing something, but Su Xiao only heard all kinds of strange noises.

The humanoid monster seemed to deflate, its body shrinking rapidly as brown ash drifted from it. When the brown ash completely dissipated, a naked little girl was curled up on the ground.

"Thank you."

The little girl's voice was very soft. The next moment, her body began to collapse, turning into a pool of clear water.

"So that's how it is."

Su Xiao glanced at the pool of water, then looked at the Moon Queen, who remained in a dead-fish state.

The Moon Queen wasn't hiding the secret of the Black King; to be precise, she should hate the Black King, because she was likely the method the Black King had researched to undo the assimilation. And judging from the change in that little girl, the Black King had failed.

Su Xiao had always been puzzled by one thing: why did the Sea Race offer mermaids to the Black King? Mermaids and humans have different reproductive structures; one is placental, the other is oviparous.

Don't think mermaids are as beautiful as in legends; their physiological structures lean more toward fish, with mucus on their bodies and a fishy smell—at least the mermaids in the Black King world were like this.

Princess Moon's scales were clearly much dimmer, which showed she wasn't a sharp weapon against the residents of the Dead Silence City. 'Purifying' one newborn resident had already exhausted her to this state. If she encountered a ruthless character like the Prisoner Chila, the Moon Queen would turn into dried fish in minutes.

There were more and more clues about the Dead Silence City, but Su Xiao couldn't enter it yet, at least not until he completed the second ring of the main quest and cleared out the rule-breakers.

If Su Xiao wasn't mistaken, the danger level of the Dead Silence City definitely reached the Sixth Tier. He couldn't even deal with the Prisoner Chila alone, let alone the more powerful existences within the Dead Silence City.

The mess in the room was handled by the old priest. Su Xiao sat by the window, preparing to implement his second plan: eliminating Blumer.

This time, Su Xiao didn't intend to engage in a battle of wits with Blumer, but to go directly and assassinate him.

It seemed reckless, but in reality, Blumer would never expect Su Xiao to go and assassinate him personally. When dealing with Duke Silver Feather, Su Xiao had shown the style of an old schemer, which inevitably led Blumer to believe Su Xiao would deal with him in the same way.

But Su Xiao had no intention of doing that at all. Duke Silver Feather was the easiest to deal with, which was why Su Xiao had arranged him so clearly.

Blumer, that old fox, was different. To calculate against each other until one was dead would take at least half a month, or even longer.

So Su Xiao decided to flip the table directly, stabbing across the table with one slash—clean and decisive.

Night fell. At two in the morning that night, Su Xiao was already standing on top of the castle. A hunting falcon landed on his shoulder, its eyes scanning the surroundings.

Su Xiao shrugged his shoulder, the falcon flew up, his long blade was unsheathed, and as a few feathers fell, Su Xiao disappeared from where he stood.

The Senate, fourth floor, the bedroom was pitch black, with only the sound of light snoring.

The blade cut through the darkness. Silently, the long blade pierced a heart. The person on the bed suddenly opened his eyes, and just as he was about to scream, his throat was crushed.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, who had been waiting, pressed the recording device, and the snoring in the bedroom continued.

【You have killed Blumer.】

【Blumer was an Imperial Elder; you have obtained 7.6% of the World's Source. You now have a total of 11.3% of the World's Source.】

Su Xiao pulled out the Dragon Flash. This was his advantage: he didn't rely on power; it was just a tool. Wandering in the Reincarnation Paradise, his own strength was more reliable.

Just like Blumer, he had immense power in the Empire and could use that power to command strong men to fight for him, but now, with one slash, Blumer lost everything. Power was very useful, but it was also the fastest thing to lose.

Blumer didn't die unjustly. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's main tracking target was him, monitoring his every move, just waiting for this opportunity to use the Wolf Clan heirloom to teleport Su Xiao over and solve the enemy with one slash, without making a sound.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang definitely couldn't do this alone. It had considered poisoning, but Blumer was more cautious than imagined. Once it failed, all its previous efforts would be in vain.

In the dark bedroom, Su Xiao made a gesture to Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang tilted its head to indicate it understood and used 【Divine Traveler】 to pass through the wall.

5 minutes and 12 seconds later, Su Xiao pushed open the door. He couldn't go through the window; the Senate was guarded by many sentries at night. Even for Su Xiao, it was impossible to force his way in here.

Moonlight shone through the window by the corridor. Su Xiao completely suppressed his aura. Arriving at the corner ahead, he leaned against the wall to wait.

3 minutes and 6 seconds later, Su Xiao passed the corner, reached the stairs, and headed straight for the first floor.

Half an hour later, Su Xiao sat on the chandelier in the first-floor lobby, waiting for a full two hours.

Boom!

The explosion spread at the main entrance, and fire filled the entire lobby. This was a C-type combustion bomb, a Void product.

A crystal layer clung to Su Xiao's entire body, leaving only the joints on his legs. He leaped directly into the flames and walked out of the Senate's main entrance.

The Dragon Shadow Flash ability was activated. Su Xiao suddenly disappeared, and when he reappeared, he was already on the roof across the street. Compared to conspiracies, Su Xiao was better at using force to eliminate enemies.

"Xiang Bubu, let's go."

"Woof~"

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang yawned, feeling somewhat tired; after all, it had been busy for two days and two nights.

The next target: after Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang rested, they would go directly into the palace to find the Black Throne and steal the World Core.

Playing wits with rule-breakers? A fair contest? That didn't exist. As long as he got the World Core, Su Xiao could definitely lead that rule-breaker on a chase until they doubted their life. Moreover, he had never thought about fighting them one-on-one.
