Shelter City No. 6 was as calm as ever. For the poor and citizens here, yesterday's changes were just bursts of loud noises in the sea.

As long as the prices in the city didn't rise, they wouldn't care about these. Rumors said that many noble masters died outside the city yesterday. The God-Envoy personally came out to clarify and executed the "rumor-mongers".

Everything was the same as in the past. At noon, many distinguished guests from the main city arrived at Shelter City No. 6, causing onlookers when passing through the outer city area.

Inner city, God-Envoy's residence.

There were more than a dozen people in the living room, but only three were seated. Besides the Bolosi God-Envoy, among the two seated, one was wearing scale armor, with two horns curving backward on his head. This was a Sea Race member, looking capable and sharp.

The other was a woman, about 30 years old, like a ripe peach. Everything about her had a huge attraction to aliens.

These were two confidants of the Sea God, Black Horn · Luo E, Life Priest · Sophia, one famous for being suspicious and ruthless. The other was good at playing with people's hearts.

The Sea God sent these two, and the meaning was already very clear. Black Horn · Luo E was a direct military deterrent, telling the Bolosi God-Envoy to be honest recently.

"The Lord sent you here, so I can rest assured."

Bolosi sat on an extra-large chair, holding a teacup with his index finger and thumb, looking like a normal person holding a jelly bowl to drink, very uncoordinated.

Regarding why the Sun Bird attacked, Bolosi had already completed the blame-shifting operation, shifting the blame to the big-mouthed Sea Race member who shouted "swear to go through fire and water for him" in the battle before. Since the other party was so intentional, Bolosi also upheld the other party's good intentions.

The current situation was that Black Horn · Luo E arrived at Shelter City No. 6, learned the ins and outs of the matter, and ordered people to hack the big-mouthed Sea Race member to death with random blades. In fact, everyone knew the problem clearly; the problem must be with Bolosi.

If he continued to delve into it, Bolosi would lose people's hearts and would not be able to continue to serve as the God-Envoy of Shelter City No. 6.

Bolosi had "found out" the reason for the Sun Bird's attack: the big-mouthed Sea Race member picked up an iron box in an underwater ruin during an outing, and there was a mark inside.

This was of course nonsense. Su Xiao took out a 【Sun Flame · Explosive Mark】. He got two of these in the Sun Church, and now he took one out. Even if he couldn't get it back, the loss was within an acceptable range. This was an investment.

Bolosi barely repelled the Sun Bird and searched for the 【Sun Flame · Explosive Mark】 in the big-mouthed Sea Race member's house. Bolosi immediately ordered people to send this "stolen goods" to the main city.

Counting the time, the 【Sun Flame · Explosive Mark】 had already reached the Sea God in the main city.

The reason for the Sun Bird's attack, the scapegoat, and the treasure, all kinds of situations were clear. The most critical thing was that the treasure had now reached the Sea God's hands.

Through the mouth of Black Horn · Luo E, the Sea God conveyed a sentence to Bolosi, the general meaning was that Bolosi had the negligence of investigation this time and should have been punished, but considering his good attitude of admitting mistakes and finding the stolen goods, this time it would be let go.

Simply put, Bolosi handed over the 【Sun Flame · Explosive Mark】, the Sea God was very satisfied, and said: 'Little brother, your performance this time is good, work hard in the future.'

Whether the Sun Bird would come looking for trouble later, no one could be sure, and there was no good preventive means. If the Sun Bird went to the main city, it would at most hand over the 【Sun Flame · Explosive Mark】. If it went to the shelter city, the Sea God would care even less. He knew what kind of existence the Sun Bird was.

At the moment, no one knew that the Sun Bird was dead, and no one believed it would die. It could be said that so far, the matter of the Sun Bird's attack was turned over.

Precisely because of this, the atmosphere in the meeting hall was very harmonious. The Bolosi God-Envoy, Black Horn · Luo E, and Life Priest · Sophia were chatting and laughing.

Just as the three were chatting harmoniously, a knock on the door came. After Bolosi said come in, an elderly figure dressed as a butler walked in.

Bolosi didn't care and asked casually: "What's the matter."

The elderly butler stopped beside Bolosi, leaned over and whispered: "Master, the young lady's condition has improved a bit."

"Hmm, got it, go down."

Bolosi's expression was normal, but Sophia, who was sitting across from him separated by Black Horn · Luo E and had a face like a peach blossom, restrained a trace of her smile. She noticed that Bolosi was angry for a moment when the elderly butler spoke just now.

"Bolosi, is your daughter sick?"

Sophia asked casually. Hearing this, Bolosi sighed.

"I don't know what's going on. Half a month ago, she suddenly fell ill. It's just a trivial matter at home. Ms. Sophia, I heard that a distinguished guest recently went to the Sea God's side?"

Bolosi was changing the subject, not wanting to mention his daughter's illness.

"Hmm, a distinguished guest did come. If your daughter is sick, don't be polite. The Lord is very satisfied with the things you sent over this time. Send your daughter to the main city and let Master Xiulu treat her."

Sophia pulled the topic back again, pulling it to the condition of Bolosi's daughter. Black Horn · Luo E on the side was drinking tea and silent. He didn't know what Sophia wanted to ask, but just listened.

"How dare I trouble Master Xiulu."

"No trouble, Bolosi, your daughter... wouldn't it be beast-transformation disease."

Sophia looked at Bolosi with a smile. Bolosi's face stiffened, and finally sighed, picked up the black tea as if defaulting, and took a sip.

Seeing this, Sophia smiled even more charmingly. She said: "I just heard the butler say that your daughter's condition has improved a bit. Luo E, have you heard that beast-transformation disease can also improve?"

"Never heard of it. Once spiritual beast-transformation begins, either die or become a beast."

Black Horn · Luo E had already thought of the general idea of the matter, and couldn't help but admire. The Sea God's decision to send Sophia was really too correct.

"That is to say, in Shelter City No. 6, there is a doctor who can suppress, or even treat beast-transformation disease? Bolosi, am I right."

Sophia said this, her heart couldn't help but accelerate. She smelled a strong fragrance in this matter, which was the taste of money, status, and extraordinary resources.

"What are you talking about? How could I possibly have..."

Bolosi's words were halfway through, and he couldn't go on. Black Horn · Luo E and Sophia were both staring at him, especially Sophia, whose almond eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.

"Bolosi, let that doctor come to see us."

"This... is a bit difficult. If you want to see him, go find him. His name is Kuku Lin · Bai Ye."

Bolosi leaned back in his chair. His attitude was that he didn't want to pay attention to Black Horn · Luo E and Sophia. This not only didn't make the two feel angry, but instead made them confirm that there really was such a doctor, otherwise Bolosi wouldn't have this expression like his own father had died.

Sophia took out a folded list, opened it, and her index finger pointed at it, sliding downward.

"Now it seems, Bolosi, the list of personnel you handed to the Sea God is very interesting. Kuku Lin · Bai Ye, doctor, has research on beast-transformation disease. Siniyas, archaeologist, has dabbled in rituals. Wood, alien race, has unique insights into mysticism. Tell me, where are the addresses of these three people in the city."

Sophia used Su Xiao's data as a benchmark to find Wood and Siniyas. Was this a coincidence? No.

Sophia hadn't discovered yet that this list of personnel was actually disguised by a contract parchment. The names, introductions, etc., on it, if the contract parchment was turned to a certain angle, would reveal that these words vaguely constituted patterns.

This was the difficulty of Wood. Unknowingly, one would be affected by his contract ability.

At this moment, looking at the expression of the Bolosi God-Envoy again, his expression was a bit distorted. Due to his fear of the Sea God, he could only endure it.

Black Horn · Luo E and Sophia looked at each other. Both knew that if this matter was handled well, the Sea God's reward would definitely not be small.

The Bolosi God-Envoy suddenly became unenthusiastic. After sending someone to arrange the accommodation for Black Horn · Luo E and Sophia, he ignored the two, looking like he didn't want to see them.

This was implicitly expressing dissatisfaction, and letting these two bastards who wanted to poach the wall finish their work and get out.

Black Horn · Luo E and Sophia acted separately. Sophia went to see Bolosi's daughter who was ill, and confirmed that it was beast-transformation disease. This was normal. Bolosi had nineteen daughters, two of whom had the risk of beast-transformation, including his favorite youngest daughter.

Of course, this was not enough to confirm that Su Xiao could suppress beast-transformation disease. Through Bolosi's confirmation that he was starting to lose patience, Sophia learned that Su Xiao had lived in Shelter City No. 6 for 6 years.

For 6 years, Bolosi's subordinates must recognize Su Xiao. Black Horn · Luo E was responsible for this matter. Under his side-tapping, he found that most of Bolosi's subordinates said they hadn't seen Bai Ye, the doctor, before, but Luo E could perceive that some people were lying. They knew the person Bai Ye, the doctor, but were unwilling to say.

These subordinates of Bolosi, of course, knew that Su Xiao had just arrived in the shelter city not long ago. The reason they said they didn't know who Su Xiao was was because Bolosi told them that this old friend of his who had just returned to Shelter City No. 6 could suppress beast-transformation disease.

Anyone with a brain could think that if Black Horn · Luo E from the main city knew that Su Xiao could suppress beast-transformation disease, Su Xiao would definitely be taken to the main city. At that time, what should they do if they started to beast-transform? This led to Bolosi's subordinates keeping their mouths shut, all saying they hadn't heard of a doctor named Bai Ye.

Getting this answer, Black Horn · Luo E was not disappointed, but instead confirmed the following information.

1. Su Xiao could indeed suppress beast-transformation disease.

2. Su Xiao had indeed lived in Shelter City No. 6 for at least 6 years, otherwise, Bolosi's subordinates wouldn't all lie. Some of them performed very normally when lying, and Luo E couldn't see through it, but some, Luo E saw through at a glance.

3. Such an important person was actually staying in Shelter City No. 6. This is unreasonable. Must notify the Sea God immediately.

Black Horn · Luo E walked on the street. Sophia came face to face, stopped and said:

"Siniyas, ritualist, can alleviate other people's sea curses through the power of rituals. Wood, dark pattern master, dark patterns have many functions and categories. Some dark patterns are engraved on the body, which can make people powerful, and some can make people obtain longer lifespans."

After listening to Sophia's words, Luo E also said: "Bai Ye, doctor, can greatly suppress beast-transformation disease."

Both knew that this was not a stroke of luck, but the discovery of capable people and strangers hidden by Bolosi. Both immediately conveyed this information to the Sea God.

Time passed minute by minute. When time approached 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Su Xiao received a message from Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang. The Sea God already knew of his, Siniyas's, and Wood's existence, and was preparing to win them over. However, before winning them over, a final judgment had to be made. The Sea God sent a subordinate named Qian Ying to investigate the identities of the three of them.

According to Baja's investigation, although Qian Ying's specific abilities were not yet clear, he was responsible for assassination, torture, and forced confession under the Sea God, and could make people tell the truth.

If Qian Ying quietly came to Shelter City No. 6 and pried open the mouths of a few nobles, the truth would be revealed, and the layout of Su Xiao, Wood, and Siniyas would collapse.

Shelter City No. 6, south gate. Su Xiao, Wood, and Siniyas were all sitting on the steps in a small alley. They had been waiting here for a long time.

"Here."

Su Xiao spoke. He meant that Qian Ying, sent by the Sea God to investigate their identities, had arrived. This information was obtained by Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang monitoring the Sea God. It heard the Sea God's secret order with its own ears. After that, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang stopped monitoring the Sea God and began to track Qian Ying.

At the moment, Su Xiao only needed to know when Qian Ying arrived at Shelter City No. 6 through Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's position. As long as Qian Ying was handled, everything that followed would be easy to handle. At that time, Su Xiao, Wood, and Siniyas would have clean identities and could arrange the Sea God in the main city.

"As agreed in advance, I'll do it."

Wood stood up, but at this moment, Su Xiao threw a mask to Wood. It was the 【Ancient Mask】. Su Xiao transferred the right to use the 【Ancient Mask】 to Wood temporarily through the Reincarnation Brand.

After Wood knew the purpose of the 【Ancient Mask】, he almost said the same thing as Siniyas before: 'This item has a predestined connection with me.'

But after knowing the price of using the 【Ancient Mask】, Wood suddenly didn't want to get this thing. Soon, Wood, disguised as a city guard, stood outside the city gate.

More than ten minutes later, an imperceptible figure passed through the light film in front of the city gate and entered the city gate tunnel. It was Qian Ying sent by the Sea God.

Qian Ying didn't take a few steps before his raised right foot froze, and he was dragged into Wood's ability. That was a false reality, an illusion built by lies, an illusion identical to Shelter City No. 6.

After a long time, Qian Ying walked out of the city gate tunnel. He had already interrogated five nobles in the city, and all the information was true. Bai Ye, doctor, had lived in the city for 6 years. Wood, dark pattern master, had lived in the city for 7 years. Siniyas, ritualist, had lived in the city for 4 years. Qian Ying didn't know that everything just now happened in the illusion world, an illusion named lies.

Qian Ying penetrated the light film again, entered the seawater, and returned to the main city to report to the Sea God.

Not long after he left, Siniyas walked out of the city gate tunnel and asked Wood: "Wood, in your illusion world, he interrogated those people. Feed back the pictures during that period to me."

"Good."

Wood released a mental fluctuation. Siniyas closed his eyes for a moment and turned to walk toward the inside of the city gate tunnel. Details determine success or failure. Qian Ying interrogated five people in the illusion, and Siniyas had to disguise himself as Qian Ying in reality to interrogate those five nobles and create the same injuries.

At 6 o'clock in the evening, in the courtyard where Su Xiao was temporarily staying, he was lying on a lounge chair under a tree. A maple leaf fell. At the same time, the gate of the courtyard was pushed open, and Life Priest · Sophia walked into the courtyard.

"I am Sophia."

Sophia spoke in a soft voice, her eyes charming, making people's hearts ripple.

Su Xiao glanced at Sophia, then ignored her, and said casually: "I don't need special services here."

Hearing this, the smile on Sophia's face stiffened. She explained:

"Doctor Bai Ye, I am a subordinate of the Sea God."

"Oh."

"I came this time to invite you to God's Grace City. The Sea God has important matters to discuss with you."

"Ah."

"Doctor Bai Ye, shall we set off now?"

"Hmm."

After Su Xiao answered, he closed his eyes to rest on the lounge chair. Go to the main city? If the Sea God didn't take out benefits, Su Xiao wouldn't go.

The current situation was particularly wonderful. This was equivalent to the Sea God spending money to hire three people to go to the main city to arrange himself.

Only heard of spending money to find fun, spending money to find death, it was unheard of.
