Chapter 232: Bad News

With Bubuteni, the journey became easy. Su Xiao didn't need to walk anymore.

Although Bubuteni was a biological weapon, if it wanted to maintain vitality, it also needed normal food. This was a common characteristic of biological biological weapons.

Bubuteni only needed to eat once every three days, but Bubuteni's appetite was a bit large.

Su Xiao looked at the water buffalo that had been eaten for the most part. Looking at the situation, this water buffalo could barely satisfy Bubuteni's one meal.

Bubuteni licked the blood on its mouth. Although it was the first time eating, it seemed very interested in eating and ate happily.

"Let's go."

Hearing Su Xiao's voice, Bubuteni ran over quickly, showing no attachment to the remaining meat.

Su Xiao keenly sensed that Bubuteni's pitch-black eyes were peeking at the pile of meat, seemingly still longing to continue eating.

There seemed to be no problem with loyalty.

Su Xiao rode on Bubuteni and signaled Bubuteni to continue the journey.

Three hours later, in front of a small village.

This was the village where Terry's family lived. Su Xiao had promised the other party to hand over the gems to Terry's wife and daughter.

Su Xiao would do what he promised, but it seemed there was no chance now.

The village where Terry's family lived was charred. The village emitted wisps of blue smoke. All the buildings in this village were burned into charcoal, and a burnt smell drifted far away.

"Bubuteni, go in."

Bubuteni stepped into the charred village carefully, its eyes flashing with wolf-like light. When encountering danger, Bubuteni was not stupid at all.

Bubuteni's head suddenly lowered, its sensitive nose seemingly smelling something.

Not long after, Bubuteni ran to a burnt building and barked twice.

"Hmm?"

Su Xiao looked at Bubuteni in confusion. He didn't quite understand what Bubuteni meant.

Bubuteni walked to a pile of charcoal, its sharp claws extended, and began to dig a hole in the charcoal.

Su Xiao jumped down from Bubuteni's back and looked at Bubuteni in confusion.

One minute later, Bubuteni actually bit a person covered in pitch-black from the pile of charcoal.

This was a man with large-area burns all over his body, his limbs were carbonized, and looking at his appearance, he still had one breath left.

Bubuteni placed the man in front of Su Xiao, baring its full mouth of sharp teeth, seemingly if the man moved slightly, it would bite hard on the other party's throat.

Bubuteni inherited the loyalty of the canine species, and also inherited the cruelty and keenness of the wolf. Being able to find a survivor in such an environment showed how sensitive Bubuteni's sense of smell was.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

A violent dry cough came, and the man with large-area burns woke up.

"Kill... kill me, please kill me."

The pain of large-area burns made this man want to die.

"What happened here? Give you a quick death after answering the question."

"Burning... burning unit, kill... kill me."

Su Xiao understood. It turned out that the burning unit had come here, no wonder such a tragedy was left behind.

"Where is Terry's house?"

"The first house at the entrance of the village, hurry... so painful."

Su Xiao got the answer he wanted and signaled Bubuteni to solve the other party.

Bubuteni was very human-like and immediately understood Su Xiao's meaning, biting directly at the man's throat.

"Let's go."

Riding on Bubuteni's back, Su Xiao signaled to walk toward the entrance of the village.

Arriving at the entrance of the village, the scene here was even more miserable than before. The houses were burned to only a frame, and it was impossible for the people inside to survive.

"It seems that a family really died neatly."

Su Xiao took out the bag of gems and threw the gems into the charcoal not far away.

With a crash, the gem bag was shattered, and various crystal-clear gems were very conspicuous in the pitch-black charcoal.

"Let's go, this direction."

Su Xiao pointed toward the Imperial Capital, and Bubuteni ran wildly.

He had left the Imperial Capital for three days. There were five days of rest time, and he had to return quickly.

Su Xiao rode Bubuteni and began a long journey. It had to be said that Bubuteni's endurance was very strong. Running continuously for seven hours, Bubuteni didn't even pant.

From a certain aspect, Bubuteni was more suitable for traveling than a car. Not only was the ride comfortable, but it could also ignore harsh terrain.

Su Xiao couldn't help but sigh. If Bubuteni had existed before, Leone and Akame couldn't have escaped from his hands.

Su Xiao had tested it. Bubuteni's sense of smell was several times stronger than ordinary canine species. From now on, he could ride Bubuteni when chasing enemies.

Imagine the enemy running in front, and he chasing behind riding Bubuteni. This kind of pursuit was time-saving and labor-saving, and the style was full.

After traveling for about ten hours, Su Xiao returned to the suburbs of the Imperial Capital.

Arriving here, he put Bubuteni away and put Bubuteni's core into the storage space.

It was very troublesome to explain the sudden appearance of a Teigu, or rather, it couldn't be explained at all.

Not to mention that the Empire recorded the appearance and functions of forty-eight Imperial Arms, and Bubuteni was not among them at all.

If Esdeath saw Bubuteni, the other party would definitely recognize it. Bubuteni was too similar to the giant wolf Fenrir.

The Imperial Capital was still in its original appearance. Su Xiao first appeared near the Imperial Palace, and then appeared in many places such as the Third Dark Unit and Esdeath's military camp. This was to cover his tracks.

Walking on the street, Su Xiao vaguely felt that the atmosphere in the Imperial Capital was a bit strange. Just at this time, a black-haired girl walked over from a distance with a group of soldiers.

"White Night? Where have you been these few days?"

Walking toward him was Kurome. The other party had a long blade Yatsufusa strapped to her waist, and she was followed by an army, looking like she was ready for battle at any time.

"Went to the suburbs to find the Night Raid unit's lair. The direction the two Night Raid unit members escaped before was the suburbs of the Imperial Capital."

Kurome didn't suspect anything.

"Something happened. Dr. Stylish and Ran were harmed."

Su Xiao was startled.

"When did it happen?"

"Last night. Both were harmed in their own homes. Nearby residents didn't hear any fighting sounds. This kind of card was found at the scene."

Kurome took out a tarot card. Su Xiao's eyes narrowed slightly after seeing this tarot card.

The back of the tarot card was a large area of mysterious patterns, while the front was blank, with faint traces of fire burning.

"Left by the murderer?"

"Yes, dozens were left at the scene, and the appearance was the same."

"I'll keep this one."

"Hmm, do you want to search for the murderer together?"

Su Xiao nodded and acted with Kurome, which could make others no longer suspect where he had been these few days.

Su Xiao and Kurome took a large group of soldiers to check in the Imperial Capital.

Although Kurome was not enthusiastic about her companions in the Jaegers unit, Kurome's companion consciousness was extremely strong, strong to a somewhat pathological degree.

In order not to lose her companions, Kurome once killed her dying companions with her own hands using Yatsufusa, with the purpose of being able to see her companions in the future.

The Jaegers unit lost two people just after its establishment, which obviously angered Esdeath, so she sent the army to conduct a detailed exclusion in the Imperial Capital. Any suspect could be caught wrongly but not let go.

Su Xiao also joined the search camp, but he was waiting for something. ===== CHAPTER 233 =====

Su Xiao also joined the ranks of the search party, but he was actually waiting for something.
