Chapter 3537

The night was deep. In previous years on the God Sacrifice Day, even at night, High Wall City was brightly lit and very lively. But on this year's God Sacrifice Day, after the daytime celebration ended, High Wall City had a long-lost curfew.

During the day, the torrential blood rain and many people witnessing the God of Eternal Life statue in the central park come to life, so tonight's curfew was exceptionally smooth.

A magic eagle, under the cover of night, glided into the main courtyard of the Treatment Institute and flew into the room where the Deputy Dean's office was located.

"Damn, you didn't call me for a midnight snack."

Baha landed on the desk, its feathers a bit messy. Looking at it, it was like being caught in the hands of some creature with sharp claws and then rubbed.

The facts were actually similar. The sudden change on the God Sacrifice Day during the day was originally thought to be the Duke trying to cause trouble. As a result, the Vadi family among the four major forces directly threw out a king bomb. By comparison, the things the Duke prepared to do were not called things.

Judging from the current situation, the Vadi family's known plan was to first use the special nature of the God Sacrifice Day to steal part of the divine power of the God of Eternal Life, and use this to summon many extra-boundary existences. This also caused the Vadi family manor in the North District to deform into an unrecognizable state. That place was already a posture of a "danger zone".

The so-called extra-boundary existences might not come from other native worlds and the void, but exist in the "between the cracks" or "abyss erosion zones" and other boundaries.

Under normal circumstances, unless it reached a reckless degree, no one really went to summon extra-boundary existences. Even the Evil Gods were unwilling to have anything to do with those things.

At the very least, the Evil Gods were just bad and evil, but they were negotiable. Extra-boundary existences were completely unknown. Some of them were combinations of negative alien energy and were extremely dangerous existences.

And at this moment, in the Vadi manor, there were many extra-boundary creatures. The good news was that the High Wall Council, one of the four major forces, took this opportunity to reveal a trump card, which was the secretly cultivated silver-armored large team.

The smoke-skirt woman Su Xiao met before was named Anas. This person was the leader of the silver-armored large team. Speaking of the name Anas, few people knew it, but if the Smoke Lady was mentioned, few people in High Wall City didn't know.

The four major forces of High Wall City had four combat power representatives. The Treatment Institute side was Su Xiao, the Steam God Sect was the Duke, and the High Wall Council was Anas, which was the Smoke Lady. The last Vadi family was the head of the Vadi family of all generations.

It had to be said that the Vadi family was indeed full of talents, and every generation of family heads could support the facade of the Vadi family.

Speaking of the Smoke Lady who controlled the silver-armored large team at the moment, it had to be mentioned her relationship with the Duke.

When they met in front of the Vadi manor before, the Smoke Lady's hostility toward the Duke was not hidden at all. Some people said that these two were once old lovers and later fell out because of interests. In fact, it was not. The Duke and the Smoke Lady were once rivals in love. The Duke's current wife was once the object of the Smoke Lady's admiration.

Su Xiao was not interested in this kind of gossip. He asked Baha to keep an eye on the movement of the Vadi manor. Now that Baha returned, there must be a harvest in kind.

After Baha ate a few mouthfuls of rice, it took out an object and asked: "Boss, is this thing valuable?"

After saying this, Baha put down a piece of severely corroded pottery shard in its claws. Seeing that it was a pottery product, Su Xiao was subconsciously vigilant. He only picked it up to check after his right hand was covered with a crystal layer.

After the pottery shard was in hand, even through the crystal layer, it was difficult to hide the bone-chilling coldness on it. This was not physical coldness, but tended to be spiritual, intentional, etc.

After thinking for a while, Su Xiao decided to take some risks. Right now, he knew too little about the Vadi manor. If he wanted to find the Sanctuary Key from inside, he must not fear risks.

The crystal layer faded on Su Xiao's hand. He touched the pale pottery shard in his hand with a tiny amount of spiritual power fluctuation. The next instant, he felt that the scene in front of him changed greatly.

Gurgle~

Bubbles rose in the water. A torture tool similar to an iron maiden sank in the water. This torture tool was covered with holy white marks and wrapped in circles of cloth strips similar to holy relics, trapping the tortured person inside tightly.

Through the hole in the upper part of the iron maiden, one could see a beautiful face inside. But at this moment, this beautiful face was full of pain and despair about to be drowned. What was more desperate was that this beautiful woman was immortal. Sometimes, immortality was a disaster. For example, at this moment, after this beautiful woman was drowned, she would immediately be reborn, and so on.

And now, this beautiful woman who didn't know how many years she had been trapped in the deep sea, because of the Vadi family's summoning, arrived at the Vadi manor in this world. She would kill any living creature within her sight. Her heart had been filled with deep sea and hatred. This was the Daughter of Pain.

Su Xiao let go of the pale pottery shard in his hand, and the illusion in front of him disappeared. He couldn't understand why the Vadi family summoned these extra-boundary existences. As long as the head of this generation of the Vadi family, Vadi Lifak, didn't have water in his brain, he shouldn't do this.

The situation at the moment was that the Vadi family not only got nothing, but all the clansmen, including the family manor, deformed. This also caused the four major forces of High Wall City to become three major forces within a day.

At this time, other families in High Wall City were like sharks attracted by the smell of blood, biting the flesh and blood of the Vadi family.

Su Xiao felt very confused now. The Vadi family's plan, which had been planned for many years, actually died suddenly. This... really made people unable to figure it out.

It was precisely because of this "weird" situation that Su Xiao and the Duke didn't enter the Vadi manor for the first time. Only the Smoke Lady entered under pressure. This was an excellent opportunity for the "Silver Armor" to rise and surpass the "Treatment Institute" and the "Wrath Hammer organization". The Smoke Lady actually didn't want to enter the Vadi manor now, but she had no choice.

Su Xiao didn't care about others. His core goal was to find the Sanctuary Key in the Vadi manor. This was the key object of the promotion mission.

Good and bad news were half and half. Now just waiting for the Smoke Lady to come out of the Vadi manor, or be wiped out in it.

Behind the desk, Su Xiao extinguished the cigarette in his hand. He didn't plan to carry this matter himself. Such a sudden change occurred in High Wall City, and the other two major forces must come forward. Therefore, it was a wise choice for the Treatment Institute, the Wrath Hammer organization, and the silver-armored large team to join hands to handle it.

Of course, if he could find the traces of two "good teammates" at the current stage and fool those two people into going deep into the Vadi manor with him, it was also a good choice.

Unfortunately, those two dog thieves hid better than the other, with a posture that Su Xiao wouldn't show up until he found the Dead Silence City.

Glancing at the time, it was already 8:30 in the evening. Xiang Bubu Wang was sleeping soundly on the side, Amu was still gorging, Baha was summarizing the information obtained today, and behind the desk against the wall opposite the office, the new Dean Lis was reading documents, occasionally secretly yawning.

"..."

Su Xiao frowned. Lis was surprisingly active today. In the past few days, Lis left on time at 5:30 every day, and it was accurate to the second.

Today it was already 8:30, and the little secretary Lis was actually working overtime for free until now. This was very abnormal. Su Xiao just acted as if he didn't see it and continued to lean on the leather chair to take a nap.

When the time reached 9:30, Lis peeked at Su Xiao. She was waiting for Su Xiao to praise her for being active in work, and then go down the slope to say her small request.

"Sir?"

Lis tentatively made a sound.

"Well?"

Exchange good books and follow the vx public account 【Book Friends Base Camp】. Follow now to receive cash red packets!

Su Xiao glanced at Lis, and then said: "You are still here? Thank you for your hard work."

"Not hard, not hard."

"..."

Su Xiao stopped talking, which made Lis, who was waiting to pick up the conversation on the opposite side, almost hold back internal injuries. After another half an hour, Lis took a deep breath and got up, came to Su Xiao's desk, and said somewhat uneasily:

"Sir, I want to advance my salary."

"..."

Su Xiao looked Lis up and down. He thought the other party was going to say something just now, but it turned out to be just this little thing.

Pulling open the drawer and taking out a stack of paper money, about 500 gold pounds, Su Xiao put it on the desk, signaling Lis to take it.

"Si... Sir, I'm afraid this is not enough."

Speaking of this, Lis herself felt a little guilty.

"..."

Su Xiao looked at Lis again, feeling a little surprised. The annual salary of a Treatment Institute member was only a little over 4000 gold pounds. Pre-knowing more than 500 gold pounds was not enough? You know, except for the central district, a very good residential house in the other four districts was only more than 1000 gold pounds.

Su Xiao pulled open the drawer again, took out more than 1000 gold pounds from it and threw it on the table. For him, if Lis was greedy for money, it was also quite good. People had shortcomings. For Su Xiao, subordinates being greedy for money was one of the non-dangerous shortcomings.

Baha asked half-jokingly: "Why do you want so much money? Buy a house in the central district?"

"Well."

Lis nodded very seriously.

"Hiss~, where is the property in the central district so cheap? Can you introduce it to me?"

Baha was interested in this. Now the number of gold pounds that the Treatment Institute could control was limited. Being able to make a profit was always good, to be used to buy people's hearts later.

"There is only one building, so keep it secret," Lis smiled at Baha, then turned serious, and applied to Su Xiao: "My lord, I might come a little late tomorrow morning, you see..."

"..."

Su Xiao raised his hand to signal Lis to leave quickly if there was nothing. Seeing this, Lis took the gold pounds and left with satisfaction.

Looking at Lis's back, Baha muttered: "Is there such a cheap house in the central district? I'm afraid it's an omen."

Baha didn't know that it was an open mouth this time. Lis bought not only a haunted house, but also a top-level haunted house. The original words of the profiteer who sold the haunted house to Lis were: "Three days ago, the owner of this residence died in the house by accident, so this residence is so cheap."

As a member of the Treatment Institute, encountering this kind of haunted house was no different from picking up a treasure. However, the profiteer didn't say one thing, that was, none of the previous owners of this haunted house could survive three days.

After Lis left, only Xiang Bubu Wang, Amu, and Baha remained in the office. Su Xiao prepared to start refining the title.

Through the failure of the main mission, Su Xiao consumed the 8-star title "Doomsday Monarch" and obtained 5 7-star titles (no attribute). That is to say, as long as he had a 7-star combat-type title now, he could refine it into an 8-star title in a safe way.

And this combat-type title, Su Xiao had already chosen, was the existing 5-star title, 【Deep Blue Shadow】.

Don't look at this title as only 5 stars, but its potential was huge. Among the nine titles Su Xiao had, excluding strength, the potential that could be compared with it was only the War Lord.

Otherwise, in so many title refinements before, Su Xiao would not have kept a 5-star title until now.

A title could only be refined three times at most, that is to say, the limit star level of 【Deep Blue Shadow】 was 8 stars, but this was only a normal situation. Before, Su Xiao had obtained a 7-star title on the Cell World, named 【Holy Meal】.

"Title effect: Reverse/Positive Eating (Passive), can select 1 3-star to 6-star title, let this title swallow it, there are two types of swallowing results in total."

1. This title completes swallowing, that is, this title has no changes,

2. This title is swallowed in reverse, and the new title that swallowed this title will inherit the star level of this title.

Prompt: If this title swallows more than 3 titles in a row (the swallowed titles are not lower than 4 stars), this title will enter a period of "full state". During the "full state", this title is more easily swallowed in reverse."

Su Xiao's idea was to use the title shop in this world, use ancient gold coins to buy 6 6-star titles, feed them to the 【Holy Meal】 title, to ensure that 【Deep Blue Shadow】 could swallow 【Holy Meal】 in reverse with a very high probability, thereby leaping to a 7-star title.

Theoretically speaking, 【Holy Meal】 only needed to swallow 3 6-star titles to enter a very strong "full state", but Su Xiao was confident in his own luck. Even if it was a 99.99% success rate, he would find a way to gamble on that 0.01%. If he happened to be unlucky, it would be too depressing.

This time 【Deep Blue Shadow】 impacted the 8-star level, not only to safely explore the "Vadi manor", but also to prepare for entering the Root · Dead Silence City.

Su Xiao used his own reincarnation brand as a medium to open the title shop notarized by the Void Tree. The next second, a large book materialized in front of him.

This large book, more than 1 meter high and 50 centimeters wide, slowly opened. The first page was densely packed with titles the size of a little finger nail. 1-star titles were generally this size. With the star level increase, the volume of the titles gradually increased. After reaching 8 stars, they were two circles larger than gold coins.

Half of the 1-star titles on the first page had been exchanged, leaving grooves on the thick pages.

Su Xiao tried to turn back with his mind, and the pages really moved. The second page was all 2-star titles, and the quantity was one-third less than the first page.

He kept turning until the sixth page stopped. There were the seventh and even the eighth pages, but because the sum of the world source obtained by the contractors in this world didn't reach a certain threshold, the seventh and eighth stages of the title shop hadn't been opened yet.

This also led to the fact that the 4-star to 6-star titles in the title shop couldn't be sold out. The contractors who dared to enter the Dark Continent this time were relatively confident in their own strength, so they were all saving ancient gold coins, waiting to take down the 7-star and 8-star titles that appeared later.

For this, Su Xiao didn't have much expectation. He came here this time to end the cause and effect with the Dead Silence City. Being able to survive was an unprecedented victory. As for saving ancient gold coins and waiting to compete for the 7-star titles or even the only 8-star title in the title shop, this was up to fate.

One thing was certain, that was, the 8-star title that appeared in the title shop would definitely be so expensive that people would doubt life, and it would even appear that a group of people had saved ancient gold coins waiting to buy, but after the 8-star title was made public, everyone found that the ancient gold coins they had worked so hard to save were only equal to the last few digits of the 8-star title price, which made people very depressed.

Don't think this was Su Xiao's speculation. He had obtained two 8-star titles. The first was 【Sky-Plundering Shocking Waves】. He did that mission from the first stage to the seventh stage to complete it. And the second was the 【Doomsday Monarch】 that was just consumed. This was the spoils of stepping on the Underworld. From this, one could imagine how high the difficulty of obtaining an 8-star title was.

Right now he had the opportunity to promote 【Deep Blue Shadow】 to 8 stars, which was entirely the shade of 【Doomsday Monarch】.

The 8-star title that would easily appear in the title shop this time had too low a threshold. One could imagine how high its selling price would be.

Su Xiao checked the 25 6-star titles embedded in the title book, of which 6 had been exchanged by others, and the remaining 19 were priced between 97 and 180 ancient coins.

What Su Xiao needed was quantity, and quality was secondary. He got a total of 662 ancient gold coins from the Duke. According to the priority of cost-effectiveness, he began to exchange for titles.

【You obtained 6-star title · Dark Spirit Touch.】

【You obtained 6-star title · Wild Beast Hunter.】

【You obtained 6-star title · Wanderer.】

【You obtained 6-star title · Wall Guard.】

【You obtained 6-star title · Mechanical Pioneer.】

【You obtained 6-star title · Fortune Reversal.】

After getting 6 6-star titles, Su Xiao only had 5 ancient gold coins left.

Among the 6 titles, Su Xiao was most interested in 【Fortune Reversal】. The description of this title was that it could greatly feed back the luck attribute according to the wearer's luck.

With such a good thing, Su Xiao naturally had to try it. He wore the 【Fortune Reversal】 title, and then checked his personal information, carefully observing the changes in the luck attribute.

Time passed minute by minute. After a while, Su Xiao found that 【Fortune Reversal】 was useless. He calmly removed this garbage title. Xiang Bubu Wang, Amu, and Baha, who came to watch the title refining, were all in a state of nothing happening. When it came to pocket money, they must pretend that nothing happened at this moment.

Su Xiao removed the fat seal state of 【Holy Meal】, activated the title effect, and used this title to swallow all the 6 6-star titles just exchanged.

In terms of resource allocation, Su Xiao's current choice would consume more resources to upgrade 【Deep Blue Shadow】 to an 8-star title. However, he had a precedent for similar things. That time was to upgrade the War Lord. Until now, he didn't regret using the 【Dream Chaser】 title to upgrade the War Lord.

More than ten minutes later, the attributes of 【Holy Meal】 changed greatly, becoming:

"Title effect: Reverse Eating (Passive), can select 1 3-star to 6-star title, let this title swallow it, this title will definitely be swallowed in reverse, the new title that swallowed this title will inherit the star level of this title, and obtain the potential superposition effect."

Su Xiao swallowed 【Deep Blue Shadow】 with the 【Holy Meal】 title. Rather than saying it was swallowing, it was better to say that the semi-fluid 【Holy Meal】 title wrapped the 【Deep Blue Shadow】 title, which was circular as a whole and had sharp marks inside, in it.

The transformation speed was faster than expected. After more than half an hour, 【Deep Blue Shadow】 completed the counter-swallowing.

【Deep Blue Shadow has been upgraded to a 7-star title.】

Seeing this prompt, Su Xiao opened the title refining disk covered with magma patterns, and pushed it away with his mind. It was too close, a bit roasting his face.

With a crisp sound, the Deep Blue Shadow that had just been upgraded was embedded in the center of the refining disk, and the five grooves around it were embedded with 5 7-star titles (no attribute) in turn.

【Yes/No to perform this title refining, if you need to perform it, you need to pay 5000 soul coins.】

【Prompt: The success rate of this refining is 100%.】

Su Xiao currently has 3909 soul coins. This was because after witnessing the umbrella-less brother jump off the plane without an umbrella, he left the remaining money after each upgrade.

For the missing soul coins, Su Xiao had a way to get them. Caesar was still in the central district. He took out the communicator to contact the other party. Hearing that there was business, Caesar's efficiency immediately increased by 500%.

A few minutes later, in the office.

"My dear friend, I heard you are in urgent need of money? Just throw the goods to Caesar, I guarantee that I will not deceive the young and old, you have to believe in my character."

"..."

Hearing Caesar's last sentence, Su Xiao was silent for a time. What he wanted to sell was not other things, but a few pieces of "Star Flow Ore" that the two mining brothers had just dug out not long ago.

Amu had been staring there for a period of time. At the moment, the two brothers had reached the deep underground. Unless they were particularly unlucky, the probability of problems was very low.

Su Xiao put the 6 pieces of "Star Flow Ore" obtained on the table. Seeing this thing, Caesar's eyes flashed with thief light. This guy didn't know when he put on a single-sided inch mirror and white gloves, and picked up a piece of "Star Flow Ore" to observe.

"Good thing, really good thing, my dear friend, Caesar will open a high price, 500 soul coins a piece, how about it?"

Caesar came with a treacherous momentum. This guy was like this. In the face of large interests, he was never greedy. Every time he shared the spoils with Su Xiao, even if it was more than 100,000 soul coins, he would pay Su Xiao without missing a cent. But in the face of small profits, Caesar would show his unique greed.

"How about 600 a piece? This is the highest price."

Caesar might also feel that the price given was too low, so he chose to take the initiative to increase the price. However, this thing was 700 soul coins a piece on the trading street, and it would be gone after being placed for a few minutes.

"650, no higher."

"Deal."

Su Xiao spoke. Hearing this, Caesar smiled happily. He took advantage of 50 soul coins per piece, but this guy was happier than when he got 50,000 soul coins when sharing the spoils.

The transaction was reached. Before Caesar left, he successfully went to the restaurant for a stroll. Learning that the Treatment Institute provided midnight snacks all year round, Caesar greatly appreciated this and had a meal.

Ignoring Caesar who went to have a midnight snack, Su Xiao reactivated the title refining disk. After embedding the six titles into it, he began to refine.

Hum~

The magma patterns on the refining disk became more and more conspicuous, and the office began to become scorching hot. Su Xiao hid the refining disk. It would take 13 hours and 21 minutes to complete this refining.

At the same time, on the east side of the central district, in a residential area.

The time was already 10 o'clock in the evening. A thin man, who was clearly cool in the summer night, but full of hot sweat, stood in front of a private courtyard. Behind him was a two-story residential house, and a front and back yard totaling more than 200 square meters.

In the anxious waiting of this man, the little secretary Lis finally arrived. At this time, she was very confused in her heart. Clearly, the appointment was to complete the property transaction tomorrow morning, but the other party said there was an emergency, it must be completed tonight, and the price was reduced by 10%.

If it were an ordinary person, their heart would have been empty long ago. How haunted must this haunted house be to be so anxious to sell it.

But for Lis, this was meeting a noble person. She worked in the Treatment Institute and stayed in the same office as Su Xiao every day, so she had already looked down on ghosts and the like. Where could ghosts be as terrifying as her own Deputy Dean's aura.

In the yard, Lis paid the money, and then the opposite side completed the handover of the land deed, contract, etc. at the speed of light. The transaction was reached in this way. All procedures were handled by the other party in advance. As long as the money was paid and signed, the transaction was reached.

"I have a place of my own."

Lis spoke in a low voice. She looked at the two-story residential house in front, and the feeling in her heart was a bit excited.

Looking at the two-story residence in front, Lis couldn't help but have an idea. If she invited her own Deputy Dean to stay for one night, this place would be completely safe the next day.

Lis opened the door with a key. After entering the door, it was not as cold as she imagined. Instead, because the windows were closed, the room was a bit stuffy.

After turning on the lights and opening the windows, Lis began to visit this new home where she could move in with a bag. Except for no bedding on the first floor, everything else was 90% new. No, it should be brand new. Some utensils such as water cups had not been unpacked.

Going up to the second floor, Lis held a short knife in one hand. After a cautious inspection, she found nothing. The only thing that made her care was a floor-standing round mirror with some years in the second-floor hall.

Lis, standing in front of the floor-standing round mirror, held the short knife against the mirror surface and tapped it lightly, but no abnormality appeared.

"Could it really be a ghost-like thing?"

Lis thought of the sudden change in the Treatment Institute recently, and couldn't handle the supernatural events in High Wall City, which also led to such haunted houses. If there were ghosts making trouble, it would be an exceptionally tricky problem. It was difficult to find people who specifically handled this aspect, and even if they were found, they wouldn't handle it for free like the Treatment Institute, but had to pay a high salary.

Thinking of this, the smile on Lis's face gradually became bright. This time she really picked up a big bargain. After this idea appeared, she suddenly found that she couldn't move.

Lis, holding the short knife in one hand, stood in front of the floor-standing round mirror motionless, or rather, her body below the neck couldn't move.

"Lucky one, I am the Magic Mirror, I can satisfy all your wishes."

Lis in the mirror spoke. The smile on her face looked weird and sarcastic no matter how she looked at it, and there was no comfort when Lis smiled.

"You are just a dangerous object, satisfy all my wishes? Can dangerous objects really brag now."

Although Lis was relatively cowardly when facing Su Xiao, she was not a coward. On the contrary, being able to become a new member of the Treatment Institute through layers of selection, Lis had high talent and outstanding courage.

Hearing Lis's words of revealing scars, Lis in the mirror smiled even more weirdly. Suddenly, Lis herself and Lis in the mirror swapped positions. To be precise, the evil spirit in the mirror seized control of Lis's body, while Lis's consciousness was trapped in the mirror.

"Your name is... Lis, Lis, given your disrespect for me, I will slowly kill everyone related to you. Your parents, friends, and even the people you work with, they will all die because of you."

The evil spirit Lis held her fingertips against the mirror surface, smiling at Lis herself who couldn't move in the mirror.

"The emotions of intelligent creatures are very wonderful. I am an evil spirit in the mirror, feeding on the despair of you intelligent creatures. Despair has freshness. For example, if I go to kill your parents now, you will erupt with huge despair, but later, when I kill your friends, your despair will be weaker. Therefore, attacking your parents first is the worst choice."

The evil spirit Lis smiled even more weirdly. She continued: "I can track your life trajectory, so finding your relatives and friends is simple. As kind as I am, I will attack your friends and colleagues first, and use their deaths to stack the despair in your heart little by little until your despair erupts."

The evil spirit Lis looked incomparably enjoying, but in the mirror, Lis herself, who heard these words, finally let go of her fearful mood. She once tried hard to join the Treatment Institute, so she had no friends. As for colleagues, that's great, please be sure to attack her colleagues, because being presumptuous in the Treatment Institute was no different from looking for death.

"If you have a job, I will kill your boss first, then your friends. Wait here with despair."

The evil spirit Lis left this sentence and walked toward the first floor of the residential house. Hearing this sentence, Lis herself in the mirror was not only not afraid, but even curious about what would happen tomorrow morning. She really wanted to see what a wonderful expression it would be when the evil spirit disguised as herself pushed open the door of that office.

The night passed quietly. When the morning light of the fish belly white appeared on the horizon, the cool morning arrived. Lis woke up in the crisp call of the cicadas on the branches, but she immediately realized that she was trapped in the mirror.

"You're awake."

The evil spirit Lis pointed at the corner of her eyes with her middle finger. With light makeup, she had a bit of charm that Lis herself didn't have.

"I must admit, among the many targets I hunt, you are one of the two that can attract the opposite sex the most."

The evil spirit Lis pursed her lips at the mirror, very satisfied with her current image.

"Then thank you for your compliment, dangerous object."

Lis herself spoke. Hearing this, the evil spirit Lis smiled without saying a word. Although she couldn't easily spy on Lis's memory, she could track her previous trajectory.

"I will bring you souvenirs, such as the eyes of your friends."

After saying this, the evil spirit Lis walked out. She left the residential house and walked toward the central street direction according to the trajectory that Lis herself often walked recently.

In less than half an hour, the evil spirit Lis walked to the front of the main gate of the Treatment Institute courtyard. She seemed to confirm Lis's own trajectory many times as if she couldn't believe it. After confirming that the other party's trajectory in the past few days was coming and going here, the charming smile on her face gradually disappeared.

Although the evil spirit Lis was weird and cruel, she was not crazy. Killing people in the Treatment Institute was something she couldn't do. Even, her current idea was whether to go back and find Lis herself, even if it was an apology, she had to finish this matter.

Just as the evil spirit Lis wanted to turn around and leave, an old voice came, saying: "What is Lis looking at, why not go in, you are almost late."

Old Chaman, carrying breakfast, walked over. He lived at home last night and also instructed his wife to make more breakfast this morning, and bring out the shares for Su Xiao, Silver Wolf Girl Marina, and others.

After the evil spirit Lis saw Old Chaman, the memory picture in her brain flashed away. This was one of the abilities to temporarily control this body. After meeting an acquaintance, she could "recall" the other party's identity, etc. to a certain extent.

In fact, there was no need for this memory picture at all. The evil spirit Lis knew who Old Chaman was, or rather, she knew better than others how terrifying a hunter this thin old man was.

The evil spirit Lis was in a dilemma for a time. She could only walk side by side with Old Chaman, walk through the courtyard all the way, enter the main building, and go all the way to the third floor, stopping in front of the Deputy Dean's office door.

When the evil spirit Lis saw the doorplate of the Deputy Dean's office and the words Kulin Bai Ye engraved below, she felt that her ghost life had come to an end. This world was too magical. As an evil spirit, she actually kidnapped the assistant of the Healing Church · Treatment Institute Deputy Dean · Kulin Bai Ye, which was like a dream.

In fact, the evil spirit Lis didn't know that what she kidnapped was actually the Dean of the Treatment Institute.

With a mood of extreme uneasiness, the evil spirit Lis's hand raised, making a move to open the door.

"Lis, what's wrong with you, you look weird."

Old Chaman spoke. In fact, this old hunter had long discovered the clues. He felt interesting and also wanted to test Lis's own safety, so he didn't directly poke it.

"Nothing."

The evil spirit Lis pushed open the office door. In her spiritual perspective, the door just opened, and the blood energy that made her whole body ache spread over.

Ordinary people couldn't see this unconsciously spreading blood energy, but for the spiritual body, this blood energy was like blood flames with strong erosion power. Just approaching, it seemed that there would be tremors from the depths of the soul. How many living creatures must be slaughtered to have such blood energy.

To be precise, on the ancient battlefield, many races were exhausted, and it was the kind of extinct race. As for the dead of other races, it was difficult to calculate.

After the evil spirit Lis shrunk her own spiritual body to the limit, she could use this body to avoid the erosion of unconscious floating blood energy. She walked into the office.

Behind the desk, Su Xiao looked at the evil spirit Lis. Thinking of Lis saying excitedly last night that she wanted to buy a haunted house, he had already guessed the general situation in his heart.

At the current stage, except for waiting for the news from the Smoke Lady, there was really nothing else to do. Thinking of this, Su Xiao said: "Lis, the office hasn't been cleaned for a long time. Your work today is to clean this place."

Just as Su Xiao's voice fell, Baha followed up and added: "By the way, weed the grass in the backyard."

"O... okay."

Under the guidance of Xiang Bubu Wang, the evil spirit Lis found the cleaning tools in the small room and began to clean the cabinets, floors, etc.

Su Xiao glanced at Baha. Baha understood and quietly gave Old Chaman a look. The two of them found an excuse to go out together. This was Baha understanding Su Xiao's meaning, going to find the traces of Lis herself.

Really, this evil spirit wiped the cabinet quite clean, and the floor was even a bit reflective.

Observing the evil spirit Lis for a while, Su Xiao habitually took out a soul crystal and bit off a large bite like eating an apple. The evil spirit Lis, who witnessed this scene from the corner of her eye, almost collapsed on the spot.

Not long after, Baha returned. It found Lis herself. Except for being trapped in the mirror, there was no big problem.

"Mirror?"

Su Xiao looked at Baha when he spoke.

"Well, mirror, a very wonderful ability, anyway, I have no way to let Lis out."

Baha spread its wings, expressing helplessness.

The evil spirit Lis, who was wiping the vase, stopped. The teeth in her mouth clicked. By this time, how could she not know that she had been exposed.

'Fight! Kill everyone present!!'

The evil spirit Lis thought so, with fierce light in her eyes. She turned around, her hair scattered, making a move to attack. But at this moment, her eyes met Su Xiao's. In this instant, the evil spirit Lis seemed to see a huge blood beast behind Su Xiao with a mouth full of sharp teeth, grinning at it, just waiting for it to take the initiative to rush up, and then bite it to pieces and swallow it.

The evil spirit Lis knelt on the ground neatly and said as sincerely as possible: "I am a good spirit, bypass me this time."

"Can you enter the mirror?"

Su Xiao spoke thoughtfully.

"Can."

The evil spirit Lis didn't dare to hide it. As for threatening with Lis's body safety, she had thought about doing so, but after considering Su Xiao's strong blood energy, she didn't think that a person like Su Xiao would become timid because of being threatened.

"What does it look like in the mirror?"

"It is a pseudo-world where spirits and dreams are interconnected."

The pseudo-world mentioned by the evil spirit Lis meant that although the mirror world existed, it was a bizarre scene.

To be precise, it was a pseudo-world that appeared by combining the mirror + spirit + dream trinity.

Su Xiao could be sure that he couldn't enter the pseudo-world. Even if he could enter, he wouldn't strip his own spiritual body to enter there. That was a very unwise choice.

However, he didn't need to enter himself. Just let this evil spirit enter. For example, if he needed to steal some important object, it would be too risky to let Xiang Bubu Wang go, so let this evil spirit go.

Or to inquire about particularly dangerous information, if Xiang Bubu went, Su Xiao would inevitably worry about accidents. If this evil spirit went, Su Xiao didn't care about the life or death of this evil spirit.

Thinking of this, Su Xiao's gaze toward the evil spirit Lis became kind. Such an evil spirit cannon fodder delivered to the door, if not used, would be sorry for the other party coming from a long way.

"You are very good, I should reward you."

Su Xiao spoke. Hearing this, the evil spirit Lis was very confused in her heart.

"Well?"

The evil spirit Lis looked at Su Xiao blankly. At this moment, a translucent crystal needle appeared in Su Xiao's hand. This needle was nearly 20 centimeters long and covered with dense patterns. Su Xiao's hand flicked.

Splat~

The evil spirit Lis suddenly raised her head. The translucent crystal needle pierced into her eyebrows. Her hands turned into claws, trembling and trying to clench, but couldn't clench a bit.

The translucent crystal needle quickly dissolved and merged into the head of the evil spirit Lis's soul body, turning into a crystal core. As long as Su Xiao wanted, this crystal core would erupt with soul energy and explode, blowing the evil spirit Lis's soul body to pieces.

"Give you 10 minutes to exchange Lis back. When I need you, I will let Lis notify you."

Su Xiao's tone was flat, without any threatening tone, but if the evil spirit Lis dared to refute, Su Xiao would make it disappear in the next second.

The evil spirit Lis lowered her eyes and said: "Impossible, even if I am faster, I cannot let that woman appear in front of you within 10 minutes."

Hearing this, Xiusi on the side pointed to himself, then looked at Old Chaman, and after asking for the address, he opened the spatial ghost gate.

5 minutes later, the spatial ghost gate opened in the office. As soon as the two appeared, Lis cried out, which startled Xiusi beside her, and the language booklet in his hand fell.

However, Su Xiao was still reading the ancient book obtained from the Dragon Academy, not looking at Lis who was crying like rain. Finding that acting pitiful was useless, Lis blinked at Xiusi, meaning, the lord usually likes you best, please help me plead.

Xiusi's head shrank, his high collar blocked his nose bridge, and he looked up at the ceiling, as if the stigma he was practicing was on it.

Lis turned to look at Old Chaman and Ms. Marina. Old Chaman looked half-asleep, and Marina wanted to speak, but after being aimed at by Baha, she pretended that nothing happened.

"Lord Bai Ye, I was wrong."

Lis spoke with her head down, like a student who made a mistake.

"You are the Dean, I am the Deputy Dean, I cannot judge your right or wrong, don't you think so, Lis."

Hearing this, Lis knew that she had to recognize her mistake in one sentence, otherwise she would no longer be a member of the Treatment Institute.

"I shouldn't be arrogant because I joined the Treatment Institute."

Speaking of this, Lis's tears fell, which could be said to be a very good attitude of admitting mistakes.

"Boss, how about forgetting it this time?"

Baha spoke very timely.

"I will definitely work harder in the future."

After saying this, Lis wiped away her tears and returned to her desk to approve documents.

Seeing this, Su Xiao was quite satisfied in his heart. Even if he was almost at the ninth stage, singing red and white faces was still useful.

Old Chaman and Ms. Marina beside the door naturally saw some clues, but pretended not to know anything. The young Xiusi breathed a sigh of relief. Lis was in the same period as him, so naturally he didn't want the other party to be dismissed.

Time passed in waiting. When it was almost noon, Baha returned through the air from the window. It said loudly: "Boss, news came from below, there is movement in the Vadi manor in the North District."

Hearing this, Xiusi immediately opened the spatial ghost gate. Su Xiao took Xiang Bubu Wang, Amu, Baha, Old Chaman, and Silver Wolf Girl Marina into it.

Just out of the spatial ghost gate and arriving in the North District, Su Xiao felt the cold purple mist spreading over. The sky was dim, not the darkness of the night, but a heavy, sinking darkness.

The Vadi manor in front was still in that appearance, the main gate was twisted and deformed, and purple-black tumors seeped out from inside the two metal doors.

The entire Vadi manor, the planting area near the front, had been filled with large pieces of purple-black flesh, and purple mist with strong corrosiveness was spreading above.

The castle further behind was penetrated by the purple pillar of light falling from the sky. The castle as a whole was like being urged to grow, and its volume was at least several times larger than before, giving people the feeling that this building had come to life.

The backyard was still viscous, surging purple-black semi-fluid. There was obviously something hidden there. Even looking from such a far place, Su Xiao could feel that there was a pair of eyes in the darkness looking at him.

At this time, the main gate of the Vadi manor was wide open, and half of the corpse of a silver-armored member was lying there. Obviously, the silver armor's deep entry into the Vadi manor was not smooth.

At the moment, the Healing Church, the Steam God Sect, and the High Wall Council all dispatched a large amount of combat power to guard the surroundings of the Vadi manor. However, the departments that dared to enter the manor were the Treatment Institute, the Wrath Hammer organization, and the silver-armored large team. Others were not strong enough, but lacked the experience and training to handle such events. The so-called specialization in the art industry was the reason.

Su Xiao arrived not long after, and the Duke also brought people to rush over. It was worth mentioning that the noble young master Krank also came. This newly promoted Son of the World had a good complexion. Looking at the spirit in his eyes that was different from the past, it seemed that he had experienced the huge pleasure brought by the "Betrayer's Will" when betraying others.

"Bai Ye, the Smoke Lady's silver-armored large team seems to have been wiped out inside, and she herself unfortunately died..."

The Duke's words were only half said when a hand covered with mottled bloodstains reached out from the half-covered main gate and rested on the side of the door. Those seemingly slender and white fingers left dent marks on the metal door more than 10 centimeters thick.

"You are the one who died."

With hair scattered and the smoke skirt partially damaged, the Smoke Lady walked out. Behind her were more than 20 silver-armored guards, and several of them were seriously injured.

The Smoke Lady led more than 200 silver-armored guards into the Vadi manor, but now she only brought out more than 20 people. It could be seen how tragic the battle inside was.

"It's good that you are fine, Smoke Lady, tell me, what is inside?"

The Duke's words made the Smoke Lady feel even more unlucky. In turn, she looked at the Duke with a smile that was not a smile, and said: "There are many creatures with weird abilities inside."

"Weird? What specific aspect?"

The Duke became interested. The information obtained by the Smoke Lady losing nearly 200 people and almost putting the entire silver-armored large team in was naturally precious.

"This matter is not in a hurry to say. That was probably this morning, I led people to rush to that place."

The Smoke Lady pointed to the castle shrouded in purple-black smoke in the distance, and she continued:

"In the library of the Vadi family castle, I found a letter on the desk."

Speaking of this, the Smoke Lady had inadvertently arrived beside Su Xiao. Seeing this, Su Xiao's hand naturally pressed on the hilt of the knife.

"Letter? What letter?"

The Duke's mechanical eye seemed to faintly show red light, and the operating efficiency of the heart core in the center of his chest improved.

"The letter you wrote to the current Vadi family head, Vadi Lifak."

As the Smoke Lady spoke, she took out a letter and was closer to Su Xiao. She was injured, which was obviously fearing the Duke's silencing, and firmly believed that Su Xiao would not let her, who had the letter, be attacked.

The Duke looked at the Smoke Lady calmly, with a somewhat tired expression.

"..."

Su Xiao turned his head and glanced at the Smoke Lady, which was considered to give the other party a look, letting the other party understand it himself.

The Smoke Lady, this person, valued feelings, kept promises extremely, treated subordinates well, and had strong strength, but she also had shortcomings, that is, she was very vengeful. She belonged to the kind that if some words offended her unintentionally many years ago, she could hold a grudge for many years and find opportunities to retaliate.

High Wall City had a half-joking saying, that is, if you offend Kulin Bai Ye of the Treatment Institute, you will die on the spot, or die that night. If you offend the Smoke Lady of the High Wall Council, you had better choose to die yourself.

"Do you suspect that I framed the Duke?"

The Smoke Lady's aura changed. This was true anger.

"I believe you wouldn't do such a thing."

The Duke spoke and nodded to the Smoke Lady again, expressing his belief in the other party again.

It could only be said that the Duke's emotional intelligence was very high. Although the original meaning was "I think you don't have the wisdom to plan this matter", it was perfectly replaced by "I believe you", which sounded much more comfortable.

This frame-up letter came out, giving Su Xiao a feeling of turning around. At the moment, he basically determined that the Vadi family head, Vadi Lifak, was not dead, but had achieved his goal.

Su Xiao was really not afraid of what the enemy was planning. He was afraid of that kind of enemy who 'as long as I die fast enough, you won't know what I want to do'. That kind of enemy was too confused, and his brain hurt when dealing with it.

"Smoke Lady, you went deep into the castle, did you find a key?"

Su Xiao didn't hide his purpose, or rather, there was no need to hide it. Judging by the current situation, the interests of his side were consistent with the Duke and the Smoke Lady.

This was also why Su Xiao was sure that the Duke would not collude with the Vadi family. To put it another way, even if there was collusion between the two sides before, it was treated as if nothing happened now. There was no need to force an "ally" who could be used as a scapegoat into an enemy, which was very unwise.

"Key?"

The Smoke Lady's gaze toward Su Xiao was obviously more vigilant. She hesitated for a few seconds and replied: "I not only saw the key, but also almost died in the hands of its owner."

Hearing this, Su Xiao felt that the situation at the moment was simple and clear. The key the Smoke Lady saw was almost certainly the Sanctuary Key. Everything the Vadi family did was based on the Sanctuary Key. This point could be inferred through the promotion mission.

The situation now was very obvious. The Treatment Institute was severely damaged. Excluding Su Xiao, Xiang Bubu Wang, Amu, and Baha, the only combat power the Treatment Institute could take out was Black Axe Chaman and Silver Wolf Girl Marina.

The silver-armored large team was half-dead, and the remaining combat power was only the Smoke Lady and her dozen or so confidants.

The best was the Wrath Hammer organization side. The Duke himself was in a full state, and the Wrath Hammer members under his command, as well as his eldest son Krank, had no combat damage, belonging to a full body.

No matter how you look at it, the three parties joining hands to go deep into the Vadi manor together was the best choice. At least in the eyes of the Duke, the Smoke Lady, and even all the high-level officials of High Wall City, it was so.

But Su Xiao had other ideas. He didn't want to rush into the Vadi manor anymore at this time. After confirming that the Sanctuary Key had a protector, everything was simple.

Are there many extra-boundary existences in the Vadi manor right now? Is it weird and dangerous inside? It doesn't matter, let the extra-boundary existences inside praise the sun together. Su Xiao had even blown up the wreckage of the Dawn Paradise. Right now, he didn't believe that gathering the resources of High Wall City to manufacture Apollo couldn't blow up the Vadi manor.

The ideas in his brain became clearer and clearer. Su Xiao's feeling toward the Vadi manor was different. If the plan succeeded, there would be a bunch of treasure chests + world sources that could still move inside. This good opportunity must be grasped.

Just as Su Xiao was about to implement the plan, the prompt of the Reincarnation Paradise appeared.

【Prompt: Title refining has been successful.】

【Deep Blue Shadow has been promoted to an 8-star title.】
