Chapter 2166: Ghost Shadow's Mental Collapse
When Baha returned, it brought back the old duke's message, the original words were: "It doesn't matter even if that manor is razed to the ground."
The old duke was now completely huddled in the Saint Court, and Su Xiao sent Baha to find him, wanting the old duke's manor's usage rights.
In Yalanse City, it was clearly not suitable for that unknown force to act, so Su Xiao would take the initiative to leave here.
Click, click, click...
The Exile on Su Xiao's sleeve completely shattered. The next moment, Ghost Shadow felt a stinging pain from her arm wound.
An injection gun pierced her shoulder. With the injection of anesthetic drugs, her body lost consciousness, but Ghost Shadow was not panicked. Instead, she sneered while she was not completely anesthetized.
Su Xiao kept staring at Ghost Shadow's expression. After hearing that sneer, his eyebrows raised. This was an unexpected gain. The change in expression when that 'sneer' occurred could be used later.
Su Xiao squatted beside Ghost Shadow and took out a pair of props that looked like invisible glasses from the storage space and put them on Ghost Shadow's eyes.
The thing that made Ghost Shadow terrified happened. She actually blinked uncontrollably, and her eyes regained their luster. This was not her intention at all. She couldn't control her body at all now.
Su Xiao slowly exhaled, completely concentrating. Just now, the Exile, which had been decomposed into dust-sized particles, had invaded Ghost Shadow's whole body, blood, muscles, subcutaneous tissue, etc.
Blue light emerged in Su Xiao's eyes. The next moment, Ghost Shadow stood up stiffly, walked slowly to Su Xiao, pressed her arm to her chest, and a smile appeared on her face.
This was completely the action made by Ghost Shadow driven by Su Xiao through manipulating the Exile.
"Hum."
Su Xiao manipulated Ghost Shadow to sneer. Feeling that it was not quite like the sneer the other party made just now, he began to manipulate Ghost Shadow to practice.
At this time, Ghost Shadow's heart was a bit collapsed. She regretted it, regretted the sneer she made at Su Xiao before, and regretted showing any change in expression in front of Su Xiao.
Eyes were the windows to the soul. Su Xiao couldn't change Ghost Shadow's gaze through the Exile, so he used high-tech products, manipulated by Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang.
Su Xiao manipulated Ghost Shadow's actions, and Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang manipulated Ghost Shadow's gaze through a sclera program to cooperate.
After familiarizing for about ten minutes, Ghost Shadow's actions began to be natural. Su Xiao signaled to Baha. Baha understood, took a black dress, which it had just bought in the Saint Court area, costing 32,500 gold pounds (1 gold pound is equivalent to about 10.5rmb purchasing power).
It was said that the tailor was sought after by many imperial ladies, and it was no exaggeration to say that it was a symbol of fashion.
Su Xiao took out a test tube from the storage space and tossed it to Ghost Shadow. Ghost Shadow took it naturally, drank the medicine after pulling out the wooden plug.
Not long after, Ghost Shadow felt that her injury was recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.
An hour later, Su Xiao manipulated Ghost Shadow to take a cold shower, cleaned up the blood on her body, and let Xiang Bubu put on the black dress bought at a high price.
As an assassin who could assassinate a duke, Ghost Shadow's temperament was already unique, plus the foil of this black dress, she looked even more heart-moving.
At this time, Ghost Shadow was completely desperate. Looking at her performance, no matter how you looked at it, it looked like she had already betrayed her organization.
Click~
A pair of metal shackles were shackled on Ghost Shadow's hands. If she rebelled too quickly, it would arouse suspicion. This kind of thing should be done gradually, not too abruptly.
If her accomplices saw her now, their first thought would definitely be that Ghost Shadow hadn't surrendered yet, but the distance to surrender was not far!
"Calm down, you will get used to it soon."
Su Xiao's hand pressed on Ghost Shadow's head. A moment later, he pushed open the door, Ghost Shadow walked side by side with him, and behind Ghost Shadow was Amu. Looking at Amu's expression, it was clearly protecting Ghost Shadow's safety to avoid her encountering any danger.
After passing through a small path in the woods, Su Xiao arrived at the Saint Court area. The prices in the three blocks nearby were high, but they were a symbol of luxury.
Su Xiao didn't take Ghost Shadow to stroll around. Not to mention that it was too ostentatious and would arouse suspicion. He didn't understand Ghost Shadow's habits of action. If he manipulated Ghost Shadow to dine, it would reveal flaws.
A carriage stopped, it was the old duke's one. Amu acted as the coachman. After Su Xiao pulled open the carriage door, he looked at Ghost Shadow.
"Hum."
Ghost Shadow sneered. Don't underestimate this sneer. If it wasn't for Su Xiao using the Exile to fight for a long time, plus being proficient in alchemy and understanding the human body structure, he couldn't do this.
Moreover, this sneer was the result of Su Xiao manipulating Ghost Shadow to practice for dozens of times, almost indistinguishable from Ghost Shadow's original expression.
Ghost Shadow got on the carriage, sat down with a cold face, her face a bit hesitant, more of guilt.
Located a hundred meters away, a wild mandarin duck saw this scene, her eyes gradually widened, her heart full of disbelief. She seemed... to have found Ghost Shadow, but Ghost Shadow was very wrong, very wrong!
This wild mandarin duck took a deep breath, tried to keep a smile on her face, stood up, and walked toward the carriage. Although she might die because of the subsequent actions, she had to do this. She had to confirm something.
The wild mandarin duck's expression was very hurried, as if she was in a hurry to do something, and started to trot. Finally, she 'accidentally' bumped into Su Xiao lightly.
"Sorry..."
The wild mandarin duck stopped halfway through her sentence, as if she just noticed the duke medal hanging on Su Xiao's clothes. There was shock in her eyes, more fear, and a bit of joy?
This wild mandarin duck's acting skills were explosive, at least Su Xiao couldn't find any flaws. However, in the current situation, the other party's identity was self-evident.
Just a small fish, not worth Su Xiao's move.
The wild mandarin duck took two steps back and bowed to express her apology. Just now, she glanced at Ghost Shadow with her peripheral vision, and Ghost Shadow... was looking down, not looking at her at all. The worst situation appeared.
Su Xiao closed the carriage door and gently rubbed his temples. Just this moment, he even felt a bit of mental exhaustion. Manipulating a person's expression with the Exile in a micro-state was too precise. Fortunately, Su Xiao often prepared alchemical potions and was handy with this kind of precise manipulation.
Until the carriage drove out of the city gate, Su Xiao relaxed his spirit. Doing this was more tiring than fighting a strong enemy.
Su Xiao began to close his eyes and take a nap. He could be sure that in a short time, Ghost Shadow's organization would make a move. Ghost Shadow's performance just now was enough to break the nerves of some people and make them make irrational actions.
Soon, Su Xiao arrived at the old duke's manor. The gap Amu hit on the wall had been repaired, and at this time in the manor, the old duke's family members had long since withdrawn and moved to the Saint Court area, which was safer.
There were 109 servants in the manor, who were responsible for maintaining the normal operation of the manor. After all, this manor was too big, and there was even a small farm outside the back wall.
As for the guards, there were 39 in total, all left by the old duke. Their strength was not worth mentioning. After the assassins came, they would definitely be the first to run. Fortunately, these people's background was clean, which was enough.
Entering the castle in the manor, Su Xiao lifted part of the manipulation of the Exile. Ghost Shadow's expression changed, very desperate~
Throwing Ghost Shadow into a bedroom, letting her 'standby' first, Amu was responsible for protecting her safety.
Closing the bedroom door, Su Xiao sat on a wooden chair very leisurely, put his feet on the stone table, took a tablet computer in his hand, and began to indulge in games. For subsequent things, he just needed to wait.
Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang might be too bored and started to circle around Su Xiao.
After Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang circled five times, Su Xiao's hand paused, the game character died, and the corner of his eye twitched.
After ten circles, Su Xiao put down the tablet computer in his hand and took out the artifact, custom-made big slippers, from the storage space.
Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was startled, and that little look was clearly: "Master, just kidding, why are you still picking eyeballs."
In a somewhat happy atmosphere, the night gradually fell. Su Xiao closed the puzzle game. Although the difficulty of this game was insane, it improved his thinking ability. He planned to contact the game developer, Pi Pang, in the near future to ask if there were any games of similar difficulty, preferably of other types.
The moonlight reflected outside the window was a bit red, and the candles in the room went out with a puff.
"Xiang Bubu, Baha."
Su Xiao signaled them two to meet with Amu. The assassins had arrived and sealed the surrounding area, forming an area similar to a barrier. The red moonlight reflecting into the room was the most obvious manifestation.
Su Xiao stood up and tucked the sheathed long knife into his waist. Perhaps, he could use this opportunity to judge his strength within the sixth tier. ===== CHAPTER 2167 =====
