Chapter 63: Having accomplished his task, he departed without a trace.
Of course, Sasuke Genpu was also well aware.
Merely leaving traces of Xia Country's experts wouldn't completely clear Fusang of suspicion.
The Truth Society wasn't stupid—their first question would be how did Xia Country's experts know about the flight route?
The Truth Society extracting the Molten Flame Spirit Crystal from beneath Mount Fuji was top secret, and the crystal's formation time was also classified information. Only the Truth Society and Fusang knew about it, so how did Xia Country find out?
But as the saying goes, these weren't conclusive evidence.
Moreover, Fusang had absolutely no motive to snatch the Molten Flame Spirit Crystal—who even knew what use it had?
To attack the Truth Society over a Molten Flame Spirit Crystal with unknown purpose?
That didn't make logical sense.
Plus, with Xia Country sharing the pressure.
Even if the Truth Society suspected Fusang, their suspicions would remain just that—suspicions only.......
As his thoughts shifted, Sasuke Genpu rapidly released his Mental Force.
In that instant, the souls and minds of the dozen-plus Fusang soldiers on the island were struck as if by a heavy blow, rapidly collapsing.
Even though his strength could only be maintained at the peak Great Yin-Yang Master level, Sasuke Genpu could still easily eliminate dozens of elite soldiers.
"Ichiyo, this matter is critically important. Besides you and me, there can't be any other survivors on this island. Do you understand?"
Sasuke Genpu looked at Chizuru Ichiyo and explained.
"Understood."
Su Yuan nodded.
Sasuke Genpu doing this saved him the trouble of taking action himself.
"Then go throw those corpses into the sea now. Don't leave any clues behind."
Sasuke Genpu commanded.
"Alright."
Su Yuan immediately turned and headed toward the center of the island.
Ten minutes later.
Su Yuan returned.
"Ichiyo, you've done very well."
Sasuke Genpu's gaze was gentle—he was already preparing to make his move.
His earlier statement about 'no survivors besides you and me' was naturally meant to reassure Chizuru Ichiyo.
"You've done pretty well yourself."
Su Yuan suddenly said.
"What?" Sasuke Genpu was slightly stunned.
He hadn't expected Su Yuan to say such words.
Before Sasuke Genpu could react.
Buzz~ A vast, mighty Mental Force swept over him.
This Mental Force was so powerful that it far surpassed even his Mental Force at his peak.
"You?"
Sasuke Genpu found it hard to believe.
Under the suppression of this Mental Force, his consciousness began to blur, without any ability to resist whatsoever.
"You're not Chizuru Ichiyo?!"
Sasuke Genpu suddenly realized this fact—how could the real Chizuru Ichiyo possess such terrifying Mental Force?
However.
Upon realizing this.
Sasuke Genpu immediately felt a chill in his heart.
If the Chizuru Ichiyo before him wasn't the real one, then what did that breakthrough technique manual the other had presented to him mean?
Was it fake?
Or did it have some other purpose?
Thinking of the latter possibility, the Molten Flame Spirit Crystal immediately surfaced in Sasuke Genpu's mind.
It was precisely because of that breakthrough technique manual that he had decided to take the risk of snatching the Molten Flame Spirit Crystal from the Truth Society.
"So that's... so that's it..."
Sasuke Genpu's consciousness grew increasingly blurred, but the many events of the past few days quickly connected in his mind.
His decision to snatch the Molten Flame Spirit Crystal had been entirely driven by external forces, and now that he had successfully obtained the crystal, he was no longer useful.
Sasuke Genpu felt only bone-chilling cold.
From beginning to end, every step he had taken was what someone else wanted him to take. What was even more terrifying was that Sasuke Genpu had been completely unaware—if the mastermind hadn't revealed themselves at the final moment, he would never have known he had become a pawn.
If Blue Star was considered a chessboard, then the mastermind orchestrating all this was the chess player, and their opponent across the board was the Truth Society from across the ocean.
Beyond that, whether it was him, Artificial Human 232, or even Fusang Country itself—they were merely pieces on the chessboard.
"Dark, so very dark..." Sasuke Genpu's consciousness completely sank into darkness, his life ended.
......
Su Yuan looked at Sasuke Genpu's corpse before him, his expression calm as still water.
If Sasuke Genpu hadn't used that forbidden technique, with his Yin-Yang Divine Master strength, even if he wasn't Su Yuan's match, he could have struggled for a while and might even have had hope of escaping.
Unfortunately, there were no what-ifs.
Under Su Yuan's plan, Sasuke Genpu was bound to use the forbidden technique, and his strength was bound to fall below the Level 2 lifeform tier.
Even if that Level 2 artificial human had died under missile bombardment, eliminating Sasuke Genpu's need to use the forbidden technique on it.
Su Yuan would have created other external reasons to force Sasuke Genpu to use the forbidden technique.
"Next is setting the scene."
Su Yuan picked up the black-gold box containing the Molten Flame Spirit Crystal.
The black-gold box didn't have any tracking devices left on it, so no replacement was needed.
Su Yuan threw Sasuke Genpu's corpse into the sea. Through the gray mirror, Su Yuan already knew that Sasuke Genpu's body would quickly be devoured by fish, leaving no clues behind.
In Su Yuan's plan, the other corpses could remain, but Sasuke Genpu's body had to disappear.
Only this way could Sasuke Genpu's theft of the Molten Flame Spirit Crystal be firmly established.
Otherwise, if Sasuke Genpu died on the island, wouldn't that suggest someone else had stolen the Molten Flame Spirit Crystal?
Then the Truth Society's suspicions wouldn't be limited to Fusang alone—they would still launch a worldwide investigation.
......
After dealing with Sasuke Genpu's corpse, Su Yuan went to the eastern side of the island and took out a test tube.
The tube contained blood drawn from the real Chizuru Ichiyo.
After sprinkling Chizuru Ichiyo's blood on an inconspicuous rock near the ocean, Su Yuan returned to the center of the island again.
Although Sasuke Genpu had already silenced the dozen-plus Fusang soldiers, the island still contained many traces, such as missile launchers and so on.
Launching missiles wasn't simple—it required many auxiliary components.
Su Yuan didn't leave those launchers behind, instead proactively cleaning up all traces.
This wasn't to help Fusang avoid suspicion, but rather to increase suspicion against them.
Through the gray mirror, Su Yuan knew that deliberately leaving traces of missile launches would instead arouse the Truth Society's suspicions, because if Fusang had truly been responsible, they wouldn't have left such obvious clues.
The real clue Su Yuan left for the Truth Society was Chizuru Ichiyo's blood.
Even if the island contained no other clues related to Fusang, as long as that blood was discovered and DNA testing confirmed it came from Fusang's Chizuru family.
The matter could basically be settled.
Even if they didn't know what use Fusang had for the stolen Molten Flame Spirit Crystal, with conclusive evidence right there, motive became irrelevant.
......
"Time to return."
After setting everything up, Su Yuan quietly left the island.
Next, the Truth Society would discover this island in two hours, and within half a day, world-class forensic experts would come to investigate.
Of course, none of that concerned Su Yuan anymore.
One hour later.
Su Yuan silently boarded a cruise ship heading to Xia Country and returned to Xia Country a day later.
