Chapter 133 What is the purpose of the eight corpses for you?
In the East District, after Sophia reported the matter of the slave traders, she received an order from Su Tu not to act rashly.
The command was pretty much what she expected, so she silently followed it.
However, to avoid any unforeseen circumstances, she still had some people keep an eye on the slave traders.
She can receive the news immediately if there is any disturbance and take appropriate action.
It can be said that her arrangement was very reasonable and could basically prevent a lot of trouble.
However, there was a flaw in doing this: the people she sent to keep an eye on things were too weak.
For powerful individuals, entering the slave trading guild silently is as easy as drinking water.
For example, Su Tu's incarnation.
Su Tu stood at the entrance of the slave trader's house, gazing leisurely at the man leaning against the wall not far away.
His gaze remained fixed on him, as if he were observing everyone who came in and out.
But for some reason, he was as if he were blind and did not see Su Tu's presence at all.
In fact, Su Tu had long anticipated that the Empire would send people to keep an eye on things here.
It's true that the main body issued an order not to act rashly.
But given Sofia's personality, she will definitely send someone to keep an eye on things here.
Therefore, when he arrived at the entrance of the slave trading guild, he naturally used an illusion to hide himself.
"If nothing unexpected happens, Sophia should be around here."
Su Tu pondered silently, his gaze sweeping around, trying to find Sophia hiding in the shadows.
Unfortunately, the streets were crowded, and Sophia's strength was slightly weaker than his, so finding her location was not so easy.
Of course, it's okay if he doesn't find it. Now he's going to find a secluded place and use the upgrade points he's gained to upgrade his abilities.
I had been following the progress of the Fame Project, but I hadn't used the upgrade points after obtaining them.
After all, upgrading skills takes quite a long time, which is incomparable to the instantaneous upgrade of attributes.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen to upgrade his attributes first, planning to upgrade his skills later.
The Empire should now intervene to stop the spread of rumors in the East District, and the Fame Project will most likely have to be halted.
I should take this time to improve my skills so I can plan my next move to make a name for myself.
Su Tu thought about it for a moment and felt that there wasn't much of a problem with this arrangement.
As for where he wanted to upgrade his skills, he already had a general idea in mind.
However, he still needs to thoroughly check whether the surrounding area is safe.
However, just as he was about to leave, a weak but strangely familiar voice rang out from not far away.
"Ke You, it's been a long time."
Upon hearing this, Su Tu's body stiffened abruptly, and his expression gradually became serious.
He slowly turned around, the Fool's Hat's power activated to its fullest extent in the shadows.
His S-level mental attributes erupted in full force at this moment, and everything around him gradually turned gray.
The colors were fading away, and time seemed to stand still at that moment.
When he turned around, the whole world looked like a gray photograph, eerie and lifeless.
This is the strongest power that Su Tu's avatar can currently unleash, and also the strongest illusion he can create at present.
However, the person who greeted him still had color on them, creating a stark contrast with the surrounding gray and white illusion.
Su Tu looked at the person in front of him without saying a word, but simply gazed at him with calm eyes.
After a long silence, he finally spoke slowly, "Rhys, it's been a long time."
Indeed, the man standing before them was Rhys, who had escaped from the royal residence and taken eight corpses with him.
He couldn't understand why the person who had taken away eight corpses would suddenly stand in front of him.
However, from the fact that he was unaffected by the illusion, Su Tu understood that the person in front of him was very strong, at least no weaker than him.
If he were weaker than Su Tu, he wouldn't be able to retain his color; instead, he would be assimilated into gray by the illusion.
Therefore, many of the previous speculations are likely correct.
"You're the one who spread the rumors about Her Highness the Princess, aren't you?"
Rhys's words came again, but they did not cause Su Tu any emotional fluctuation.
It's not surprising that the other party knew about his spreading rumors. If they wanted to investigate further, they could easily find him by following the clues.
After all, when he sent slave traders to spread rumors, he inevitably left traces.
These traces are the key to finding him.
If you don't want others to know, then don't do it in the first place.
"it's me."
Su Tu uttered two words calmly, his gaze remaining utterly still and undisturbed.
But in reality, he had already prepared for battle, even his strongest battle condition.
There's no way around it; the fact that they were able to take eight corpses from Haliel and then take those eight more from the royal compound despite its heavy guard shows just how powerful they are.
Even now, Su Tu feels that he might not be able to beat his opponent.
If the difference in strength is too great, all the fancy tricks will be useless, even if the illusion he is creating is terrifying.
Since the other party has come to our door and stated directly that he is the mastermind behind the spread of rumors, they must have found concrete evidence.
Rather than hiding it and causing unhappiness for both parties, it's better to admit it openly.
Besides, the person he's talking to right now is his avatar, not his real body.
Even if Eve finds out that he is the mastermind behind the rumors, it will not affect his true self in the slightest.
"Since I'm answering your question, shouldn't you answer one of mine?"
Su Tu spoke slowly, wanting to take the initiative in this conversation and resolve his doubts.
There was nothing he could do; he had known this person for a long time.
I initially thought he was just a mysterious relics merchant, but I never expected him to be a powerful boss who was hiding his true strength.
Not to mention, his second avatar had a close connection with Haliel and was quite curious about the purpose of those eight experimental subjects.
Rhys looked at Su Tu in surprise, clearly not expecting him to ask a question at this moment.
However, he didn't find the other party rude or anything; in fact, he found it quite amusing.
After regaining his strength and memories, this was the first time he had met such an interesting person, and he couldn't help but want to play with him a little longer.
"Sure, go ahead and ask."
Rhys's tone held a hint of amusement, as if he was quite interested in Su Tu in his current state.
Su Tu didn't stand on ceremony and directly voiced his biggest question.
"What specific purpose did those eight corpses serve for you?"
Instead of asking about the other party's plan, he inquired about the purpose of the eight corpses.
Knowing its purpose allows us to deduce the other party's plan.
Rhys's surprise deepened, clearly not expecting the person in front of him to ask this question.
However, he quickly returned to normal, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.
"I can answer that question for you."
