Chapter 886: The Survival Way of a Spy
"You did so many things for Aleister just to see me? I don't think I have that kind of charm."
Tsuchimikado Motoharu had been standing at the door. He knew how dangerous Su Xiao was; this was definitely a ruthless person who killed without blinking.
"Don't be so vigilant. If something happens to you here, I won't be able to pass Aleister's test, and besides, other factions will come to find trouble with me."
After Su Xiao's spirit was no longer affected, his actions were clearly much calmer, and his logic was clear.
"Just a relationship of mutual utilization."
Tsuchimikado Motoharu walked into the room and sat on the sofa. He had been wearing sunglasses. The reason for this was to keep others from seeing his eyes. Eyes are the windows to the soul. As a spy, if others see through his thoughts, he is not far from death.
From the original story, Tsuchimikado Motoharu was a carefree teenager, but in reality, it was not so. His mind was meticulous, and he was calm in handling things. But he was different from other spies. He could go through fire and water for his friends, and in order to protect his sister who had no blood relationship, even if he was an enemy of the whole world, he didn't care.
"You see me for some intelligence? Besides that, I can't think of any other possibility."
Tsuchimikado Motoharu crossed his fingers and leaned forward.
"Of course, I came to Academy City just to find something."
"What thing?"
"The End Spirit Codex, that thing should be called that."
"..."
Tsuchimikado Motoharu fell silent. The pupils under the sunglasses narrowed. A long time later, he sighed.
"Sorry, that thing might not exist in this world anymore. Your efforts are destined to be a waste of time."
Tsuchimikado Motoharu stood up and walked out of the room.
"In order to find that thing, I will do many things I am unwilling to do."
Su Xiao, sitting on the bed, looked at Tsuchimikado Motoharu with a smile. Tsuchimikado Motoharu's footsteps stopped, and he turned his head to look at Su Xiao.
"You..."
Tsuchimikado Motoharu's voice was low, and his masseter muscles protruded.
"If you dare to move the people around me, even if I trade with a Demon God, I will go to hell with you."
Tsuchimikado Motoharu pushed the sunglasses on the bridge of his nose.
"It seems you misunderstood something."
Su Xiao didn't intend to use the people around Tsuchimikado Motoharu to threaten the other party. That was the least efficient choice. If he did that, the reliability of the intelligence obtained would be greatly reduced.
"To be precise, what exactly is the End Spirit Codex? I still don't know until now. Don't be so surprised. I am looking for that thing, not because I want to get its power or knowledge. My purpose is just to find it, that's all."
"Find the End Spirit Codex..."
Tsuchimikado Motoharu pondered for a moment and then thought of something.
"The organization you are in, let you bring back the End Spirit Codex?"
"More general, just find it. If the situation is critical, I can destroy that thing at any time."
"Sorry, I don't trust you."
Tsuchimikado Motoharu shook his head. He knew what the End Spirit Codex was; that thing was very dangerous.
"Consider it clearly. What have I done to see you? You can think of it this way: I could risk helping Aleister kill a Saint of the magic side for a clue before. If I don't get a clue about the End Spirit Codex..."
Su Xiao didn't continue. If he couldn't complete the Tier 3 promotion mission, after all attributes -10, he wouldn't be far from death. Now it was a life-and-death choice.
A long time later, Tsuchimikado Motoharu sighed and sat back on the sofa.
"If I don't provide clues, we will go to hell together? And it has nothing to do with the people around me?"
"You can understand it that way."
"It's simply an unprovoked disaster. There are still people waiting for me to go back to eat."
Tsuchimikado Motoharu relaxed his whole body, looking at the ceiling. The breeze blew from outside the window, and the white curtains floated up.
"The End Spirit Codex, also known as the Evil Spirit Magic Book, black magic, forbidden magic, etc., are all pediatrics compared to the things recorded on the End Spirit Codex. There is a rumor that the thing was compiled to destroy the balance of the world's composition. It is a power that transcends elements. To describe it simply, it is collapse, collapsing all objects, so as to achieve a permanent destruction effect."
Tsuchimikado Motoharu stopped after saying this.
"Now you know how dangerous the thing you are looking for is, so give up as soon as possible."
"Continue."
Su Xiao reached out his hand, signaling Tsuchimikado Motoharu to continue. Tsuchimikado Motoharu's mouth grinned, thinking quickly in his mind. He received Aleister's message before he met Su Xiao.
"About 400 years ago, the technology on the End Spirit Codex was mastered by a magician. Unexpectedly, when that magician used the power of the End Spirit Codex for the first time, he exploded, and a city was buried with him. The Cross Church learned of this and sent people to find the End Spirit Codex, and finally announced to the outside world that the End Spirit Codex had been found by them and stored in the Index Librorum Prohibitorum. In fact, they didn't find the End Spirit Codex.
300 years ago, another magician discovered the End Spirit Codex. It was still the scene of 400 years ago. That magician exploded and died, but he didn't destroy the town, but exploded beside a lake.
After that magician died, the Cross Church arrived at the scene for the first time. It is said that the water of that lake turned into a kind of gaseous water. Everything that came into contact with those gaseous waters would be completely decomposed. The destructive power of these gaseous waters was amazing and would drift with the wind. The Cross Church ran around for more than ten years before settling this matter. Strangely, the End Spirit Codex disappeared again."
Tsuchimikado Motoharu narrated the origin and danger level of the End Spirit Codex to Su Xiao.
"That is to say, it is some kind of technology? After mastering it, it is somewhat similar to a one-time high-power weapon?"
Su Xiao was somewhat puzzled. If it was just like this, the End Spirit Codex was not too dangerous, but Tsuchimikado Motoharu didn't need to hesitate before, hiding the intelligence about the End Spirit Codex. Of course, the intelligence related to the End Spirit Codex was just Tsuchimikado Motoharu's one-sided words.
"If it was just like this, the End Spirit Codex would not be too dangerous, but there is one point that makes it one of the most dangerous magic books. Things destroyed by that power have no possibility of restoration. For example, that lake, to this day, is a bottomless sinkhole. The Cross Church has tried to fill it, and it is impossible to do so. In the rules of the world, that place has already collapsed and been destroyed, and can never be repaired by any method. It is better to fill it with mud, and it is better to pile it with stones. As long as it is past twelve o'clock at night, that place will return to a sinkhole. The filler did not return to its original place, but disappeared, disappeared from the world."
After listening to Tsuchimikado Motoharu's description, Su Xiao knew the general function of the End Spirit Codex. It recorded a kind of technology or spell, and things destroyed by that ability were equivalent to being cleared of 'existence', that is, destruction was irreversible.
"That's it? Do you think I will study the technology on it, and then find a big city and die with that city?"
Su Xiao's words made Tsuchimikado Motoharu smile bitterly.
"Of course not. The End Spirit Codex is indeed dangerous, but its actual value is not high, and every time someone masters the technology on it, the End Spirit Codex will mysteriously disappear for a long time."
"Then you might as well tell me where it is, and I will let it disappear forever."
"I can't do this."
Tsuchimikado Motoharu was somewhat helpless.
"I actually... don't know the exact location of that thing at all, do you believe it?"
"Don't believe it."
"I knew you would answer like this. I might have been infected by someone's misfortune."
Tsuchimikado Motoharu sighed.
"However... there is a rumor recently, just a rumor, someone discovered the End Spirit Codex, and that person is preparing to do something with the End Spirit Codex."
"Tell me who that person is, and we will assume we have never met, and from now on, we will have nothing to do with each other."
"Just waiting for this sentence from you."
Whether it was the 'tearing off the face' before, or the 'hard struggle', Tsuchimikado Motoharu was waiting for this sentence from Su Xiao. After providing the intelligence, the two would have nothing to do with each other. This was the result Tsuchimikado Motoharu most hoped to get, and it was also the way of survival for a spy.
"Kihara."
Tsuchimikado Motoharu only said two words and stood up and walked out.
"Amata?"
Su Xiao spoke.
"An older generation."
Tsuchimikado Motoharu closed the door of the room. Just after walking out of the room, he let out a long breath.
"Kihara clan, don't blame me, this is your own choice." ===== CHAPTER 887 =====
