Chapter 3608: Clues

Su Xiao picked up the Hunter List · Blood Pact on the table. This list had a somewhat ancient style, with a texture like animal skin or cloth. There were bloodstains on the edges, and the bottom edge was ragged and uneven. The entire list emitted an inexplicable sense of deterrence.

At this moment, a line of handwriting had appeared on the first line of this list:

"Deceiver · Pisiwo (this is the name used by the Deceiver in this reincarnation): Reincarnator, has not awakened past life memories (bounty 200 ounces of space-time power or equivalent resources)."

The information contained in this line is not small. The title "Deceiver" needs no explanation. Among the six traitors, this traitor represents deception. His name is Pisiwo; to be precise, his name in this life is Pisiwo.

Su Xiao certainly knew what a Reincarnator was. This is an extremely rare bloodline in the Void. Originally, this was a Void race called the Spirit Race. They possess souls that are unimaginably tough, which is also the reason they can launch the reincarnation ability.

The so-called reincarnation is actually a kind of immortality. When the Spirit Race "dies," their soul body will drift away due to the reincarnation ability and be absorbed by the new life about to be born.

After the new life is born, it also means the Reincarnator has gained a new life, because from the moment their soul body merges into the interior of this new life, it is already occupying the magpie's nest, fusing with the new life's soul with a powerful soul.

After that, the Reincarnator's soul will enter a dormant period of several decades due to fusing with the new life's soul. During this period, the Reincarnator doesn't remember their past life but grows normally, until a certain time decades later when the Reincarnator's memory suddenly awakens. This is awakening past life memories.

It is precisely because of this that the birth rate of the Spirit Race is extremely low. A Reincarnator might not have an offspring for more than a dozen lives, but once a Reincarnator has an offspring, that offspring will also be a Reincarnator.

This near-immortal ability once attracted many covetous eyes, but because Reincarnators are difficult to discover during the reincarnation period and can quickly become powerful after awakening past life memories, they could calmly deal with covetousness even when facing it.

Until this Reincarnator force provoked the Spellcasters and made the Spellcasters pay a price, and made the Spellcasters unable to retaliate directly due to the situation.

Would the Spellcasters just let it go? Of course not. A few years later, Mage Sage Serphilia announced a matter: she discovered the secret of reincarnation. The so-called reincarnation is an ability maintained by a tough soul, and the reason why Reincarnators have such tough souls is because their origin soul blood is nourishing them. Extracting this soul blood and absorbing it oneself can seize the power of reincarnation.

Not long after, the secret method of how to extract reincarnation soul blood and how to absorb reincarnation soul blood began to circulate in the Void. A few years later, the Reincarnator force perished. This is driving a tiger to swallow a wolf.

The appearance of a Reincarnator in this world now made Su Xiao think of a possibility: back then, Deceiver · Pisiwo defected to the Arcane Eternal Star side, and what he got for betraying the Law-Breakers was the reincarnation soul blood, with which the Deceiver became a Reincarnator.

After the Deceiver won on the Arcane Eternal Star, fearing that the Law-Breaker faction hadn't been completely eliminated and would come to retaliate against him later, he colluded with the other five traitors and came to this world, which is the Shadow World.

It makes sense. In the Void where big shots gather, they were already not glorious as traitors, plus some Law-Breaker remnants still existed. As the saying goes, better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix, so the six of them all came to the Shadow World.

Whether the other five were Reincarnators, Su Xiao didn't know, but the probability of this possibility was not high. Reincarnators are too easy to be dealt with by enemies before awakening past life memories. Presumably, the other five all had their own trump cards and were much harder to deal with than Deceiver · Pisiwo.

This point can be seen from the bounty on the Hunter List. The bounty for Deceiver · Pisiwo is 200 ounces of space-time power or equivalent resources, the lowest bounty.

Su Xiao stared carefully at the handwriting on the list. The bounty amounts for the six traitors were all on it.

Deceiver: Bounty 200 ounces of space-time power.

Informant: Bounty 400 ounces of space-time power.

Thief: Bounty 500 ounces of space-time power.

Mystic: Bounty 600 ounces of space-time power.

Defector: Bounty 800 ounces of space-time power.

Traitor: Bounty 1500 ounces of space-time power.

Su Xiao previously paid 800 ounces of space-time power to Reincarnation Paradise to build the "Hunter List · Blood Pact." The situation now is that as long as he successfully hunts the first three people on the list, namely the Deceiver, Informant, and Thief, he can get 1100 ounces of space-time power or equivalent materials, not only breaking even but also making a profit.

If he hunts all six traitors, it's a gain of 4000 ounces of space-time power. This is definitely a huge sum, which can make Su Xiao, who is a triple master, rich for a period of time.

Obtaining the bounty corresponding to the traitor is simple: kill the other party and smear the other party's blood or soul debris on the corresponding name on the Hunter List with your thumb, representing the completion of the hunt.

Su Xiao looked at the names on the Hunter List and began to think about the current situation. From the known information, Pisiwo, who is a Reincarnator, has not awakened past life memories.

In other words, the current Pisiwo doesn't know he is the "Deceiver," let alone remember that he once betrayed the Law-Breakers. Furthermore, the other party likely hasn't obtained supernatural power yet. For Reincarnators, this is very normal. All Reincarnators are soul-type ability users. They are also afraid that they will master the basic core abilities of other systems during the memory-less period of reincarnation, eventually turning their own ability system into a hodgepodge.

What Reincarnators fear least is death. Even if they are killed before awakening past life memories, their soul bodies will continue to reincarnate. To be precise, except for having their souls slashed, Reincarnators almost never die.

Conversely, Reincarnators are very afraid of mastering the basic core abilities of other systems before awakening past life memories. If they master the energy release system or the physical strengthening system, it's fine, but if they master a basic core ability of the mental system, then it's a big joke.

This also leads to the fact that before Reincarnators awaken past life memories, they are not much different from ordinary people. But once they awaken past life memories, the first thing released is soul power, followed by recalling knowledge, etc. Under such circumstances, it is very easy for Reincarnators to obtain other things.

Years later, this body ages, and a new reincarnation will begin. There is one more point, which is that the more times a Reincarnator reincarnates, the stronger the soul, and the harder it is to kill.

For Su Xiao, the immortality of a Reincarnator's soul is no different from a decoration. He has even slashed the God of Immortality, let alone a Reincarnator.

Su Xiao felt that the Deceiver who hadn't awakened past life memories was more critical than imagined. This should be the only clue given by the Hunter List.

Not only that, the identity he obtained with the "Plundering Heaven and Startling Waves" title, the advantages derived from this identity, eight or nine out of ten, are also in this matter.

After the Blade Magic Spirit digests the origin power of the "undying trait Abyss-spawn," Su Xiao can completely find the Deceiver · Pisiwo himself and slash him to death with one blade. But if he did this, where would he find the remaining five traitors? Just wait for the Hunter List to give clues?

Don't forget, this is a Hunter List built by Reincarnation Paradise. It's not bad to give some clues in the initial stage. Expecting it to give clues for every traitor is truly whimsical.

This represents that he must use Deceiver · Pisiwo as the starting point of the clue and, before eliminating him, learn the clues of other traitors from this guy's mouth.

This has a premise: he must let Deceiver · Pisiwo awaken past life memories. Su Xiao estimated that if he found him, such a level of life-threatening stimulation might cause the Deceiver to awaken past life memories on the spot. In that case, things would be a bit troublesome.

No one can be sure whether there is one of the other five traitors beside Deceiver · Pisiwo.

After weighing it, Su Xiao picked up the phone on the table and dialed the Hunter Unit leader, Tessa. The phone rang for a long time before she answered, saying with full sleepiness:

"Speak!"

Tessa hadn't closed her eyes for more than half a month. Recently, she had been tracking the twisted species summoned by the Dark God Sect. This morning, she finally eliminated the Dark God Sect members and the twisted species they summoned, and later came to the asylum to hand over the matter about the Abyss-spawn.

After this busyness, Tessa finally had time to go home, greeted her younger sister who was ten years younger and in the rebellious period, and finally lay on her long-missed bed at home, falling into a dream.

However, after falling into a dream for only an hour, the phone on the bedside table rang like a life-threatening call. The specially set emergency ringtone was only heard when two people called: the warden of the Twilight Asylum and Mayor Perkin. When these two called, it was basically a particularly important matter. If not handled well, it would be a major event concerning the entire Alliance. Tessa had to ensure she could receive it the first time.

Su Xiao listened to Tessa's "gentle and kind" tone on the phone, as well as the fragrant words whispered in a low voice. He didn't need to think to know that the other party must have just fallen asleep and was woken up. For this, he felt very sorry and was prepared to let the other party not sleep, and sleep after finishing the business.

"If you can tell me that you're just calling to greet me and hang up immediately, then I thank you, thank all your ancestors."

Clearly, Tessa was already so sleepy that she was about to spit out fragrance.

"Help me investigate someone."

"No time."

"One of the three things."

"I......, okay, okay, got it, I'll get up and go out now."

Although Tessa's attitude was not very good, she didn't intend to let her subordinates do this, but went personally. The intelligence channel of the Hunter Unit was like a pyramid. Of course, Tessa, who was at the top, had the strongest intelligence authority.

Half an hour later, Tessa's phone called, saying straightforwardly: "I'm at headquarters. Give me the information of the person you want to investigate."

"Pisiwo."

"Hmm, and then?"

"This person is cunning, glib-tongued, and good at observing words and colors."

"Nothing else?"

"Correct."

"Wait."

Both sides belonged to people who didn't talk much, and they hung up one after another.

"Boss, the Sun God Sect is urging more and more urgently. Those bishops really want to see you. I can't hold them back a bit."

Bahar spoke, its expression a bit hard to describe.

"......"

Su Xiao didn't speak. Seeing this, Bahar knew this was to let it hold them back for another period of time. Vice Warden Yasinger hadn't made a move, so it wasn't good for them to make a move first.

"Woof."

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang suddenly appeared, and it suddenly appeared on Su Xiao's desk, its dog face less than five centimeters from Su Xiao's face, and it tilted its head.

"......"

Su Xiao made a gesture to pull open the drawer. There was nothing else inside, only the large slippers specifically for pulling Xiang Bubu. Seeing this, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang quickly went down.

"Is the monitoring device on Tessa's side set up?"

"Woof."

"Hmm, you did the right thing. Don't set up monitoring devices in private spaces. Just set them up at the main entrance of the Hunter headquarters and around her house. We just need to determine if anyone is assassinating her, not spying on her."

"Woof woof, woof."

"Correct."

"Woof, woof woof woof, woof, woof woof."

"Hmm, that's how it is."

"Woof woof."

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang took out the terminal and began to lie on its velvet blanket to play games.

The Hunter Unit didn't make Su Xiao wait too long. Ten minutes later, Tessa called.

"I used a lot of connections and subordinates to help you get this information. Among the three things, I have already completed one."

Hearing Tessa say this on the other end of the phone, Su Xiao had a slightly ominous premonition in his heart. This time it seemed to be a loss.

"The person you want to find is settled in Suto City, not far from us. His name is Pisiwo, and he is in a wealthy merchant family. When he was in his teens, his father was cheated of all his family property by a partner, which led his parents to flee to the Saint Lan Kingdom, leaving him at his uncle's house. Perhaps because of the influence of this matter, Pisiwo became a swindler. Until he was 19, he was arrested for fraud and released four years later. Now he is 46 years old, has a wife, six lovers, and also, forget it, forget it, not reading it. Look at this morning's Saint Capital Morning News yourself. What's not on it, my subordinates have sent you the supplementary files. Also, don't call me within 12 hours."

After saying that, Tessa hung up. When she said "Look at this morning's Saint Capital Morning News yourself," Su Xiao knew why he had a bad premonition in his heart.

"Bahar."

"Understood."

Bahar flew out of the window and quickly bought a copy of the Saint Capital Morning News. Su Xiao flipped through it and saw "Financial Fraudster Pisiwo Arrested" in a conspicuous place on the back. Below was a photo of Pisiwo with slightly messy hair being pushed into a Tribunal car.

Deceiver · Pisiwo was indeed a clue. After learning this news, Su Xiao felt that the information for the main quest was simple and could be fully understood. With the Deceiver's current situation, if the main quest had a lot of information, it would make people feel creepy instead.

And Su Xiao was also puzzled why Tessa kept emphasizing that this matter should count as one of the three things. It turned out that this matter was on the newspaper. No wonder Tessa's tone was a bit guilty at the beginning.

One can imagine that when Tessa mobilized a large number of intelligence personnel and the entire Hunter Unit's intelligence department was ready to investigate this matter, Tessa's assistant handed her a copy of the Saint Capital Morning News. Her stunned expression at that time, and the intelligence personnel who had all made efforts to perform in front of their boss, all ended up flashing their waists on the spot.

Named Pisiwo, good at deception, cunning, glib-tongued, good at observing words and colors, all matched.

Su Xiao dialed Tessa's phone again. It didn't connect for a long time. The first sentence after connecting was: "There's no possibility of going back on this matter."

"Am I the kind of person who would go back on his word?"

"You are. Both of us are. I'm especially sure of this."

"......"

Su Xiao didn't speak, but instead, he said: "This matter is not over yet. I want to know Pisiwo's current situation."

"Checked this aspect. He is locked in the detention department of the local Tribunal, waiting for the Tribunal to open the court for judgment. Now, besides the staff of the local Tribunal, only his lawyer can see him."

"Lawyer?"

"Correct. He found the best lawyer. This guy's fraud amount reached more than 70 million Gulang, enough to sit through the prison."

"Tessa, I want the information of his lawyer, and also, which judge is judging this case?"

"No problem, these materials can be delivered to your hands within five minutes."

"Finally, help me contact that lawyer and judge."

"Good, anything else needed? You entrust more things, otherwise this matter counts as one promise, and I feel a bit uneasy."

"Nothing else."

After saying that, Su Xiao hung up the phone. A few minutes after he hung up, the door was knocked. After Bahar opened the door, it found no one outside, only a file bag floating in mid-air.

"Lord Bai Ye, this is what you want."

A man's voice came. This was a man who was completely transparent. He could even evade perception. Tessa's subordinates were indeed full of talent.

After letting Bahar send away the Hunter Unit member, Su Xiao opened the file bag, which contained all the information about Pisiwo. The most important point was that Pisiwo would be judged by the local Tribunal tomorrow morning.

"Silver Face, Veronica, go and invite this lawyer over. Just say the asylum has some cases to entrust him to handle, and offer a price three times higher than the market price."

"Obey."

"Yes, officer."

Silver Face and Veronica left quickly. Among the three-man team found, only the "Gold Medal Bodyguard" Dre remained. He, with a stubble and looking decadent, said:

"Mr. Bai Ye, I should also go together. If I encounter danger on the way, with me as a bodyguard protecting that lawyer......"

"If you don't go, he will be safer."

"But......"

Dre had a look of wanting to say something but stopping, and finally didn't say anything more.

Su Xiao left the office and headed straight for the third level of the underground prison. He came to the cell where Banshee was imprisoned. Through the gravity crystal layer, Banshee inside was mimicking a black panther, her whole body hair black and shiny, hanging on the lamp post with her long tail, hanging herself upside down.

"Warden Bai Ye, are you looking for me?"

"Help me do something."

"Of course, but you have to promise that after the matter is done, transfer me to the second level above."

"......"

Su Xiao frowned and looked at Banshee, not quite understanding why the other party would say such a thing.

"After the matter is done, help you improve your food. You can move freely in the courtyard for one hour a month."

"At least twice a month."

Banshee spoke in the form of a cheetah, and while speaking, she let go of her long tail and landed lightly.

"Then forget it."

After saying that, Su Xiao turned and walked out.

"I agree, I was just joking just now."

Banshee said, returning to her normal appearance, but for some reason, the gravity crystal layer in front of her suddenly rose.

Boom!

A strong wind raided. When the scene in front of Banshee recovered, she found that she had been lifted by Su Xiao, who was pinching her neck with one hand, and the hand pinching her neck was constantly tightening. She could hear the "crack" sound from her neck bones. This wasn't a matter of being pinched off, but the entire neck would be pinched and exploded.

"Don't, with me, joke."

Su Xiao looked at Banshee calmly, the force on his hand getting greater and greater. When dealing with these criminals, he couldn't have the slightest hesitation and retreat.

"Under...... stood."

Banshee's vision had already begun to turn black. The next second, she felt the hand grabbing her neck loosen, and she fell to the ground with a pitch-black vision. This feeling of soul suffocation was something she would never forget in her life. The thought of escaping that was eager to try could only be suppressed for the time being.

Half an hour later, in the canteen on the first floor of the asylum, Su Xiao sat by the dining table and lit a cigarette. The table was full of delicacies, and opposite him was Banshee, who was wolfing down food. Don't think that the food of the criminals on the third level is okay. For these heinous people, letting them not starve to death is the bottom line. Once they regain their strength, they will come up with prison break methods that others can't imagine. Extracting iron elements from their own bodies and then making keys is a standard operation.

After wolfing down food, Banshee picked up a bottle of red wine, pulled out the cork, and drank it down. After drinking half the bottle, she put the wine bottle on the table with a "bang" and began to laugh loudly. After laughing for a full half minute, she let out a long sigh and asked:

"Warden Bai Ye, you asked me to do things for you, not find someone to watch me?"

"No need."

"Oh? You're not afraid I'll run away?"

Banshee looked at Su Xiao with a smile that wasn't a smile. She wouldn't believe Su Xiao's words.

"This is actually an opportunity for you. Kusi City is not far from the Saint Lan Kingdom, only two cities away. As long as you run to that side, you will be free. But as a risk, after you are caught this time, you won't be sent to the asylum; you will be sent to the monastery to accept correction and reform 24 hours a day."

Hearing Su Xiao say the last part, Banshee's scalp felt a bit numb.

"Go here, and someone will tell you what to do then."

Su Xiao placed a file bag on the table. After Banshee picked up the file bag, she stood up tentatively and walked out, seemingly not believing that she could leave like this.

After Banshee left, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang appeared beside Su Xiao.

"Xiang Bubu, watch her closely. If she dares to have any unusual movements, use the catalytic mist to induce the fierce poison in her body."

Su Xiao picked up the remaining half bottle of red wine on the table, observed it for a moment, and nodded with satisfaction. His method of making red wine-flavored fierce poison had improved.

"Woof."

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang barked and merged into the environment.

Su Xiao picked up the newspaper on the table and looked at the photo of Deceiver · Pisiwo on it. Before noon tomorrow, he would arrange this Deceiver clearly. ===== CHAPTER 3609 =====
