Chapter 460: Chapter 114: Secrets and Commissions (Request for Monthly Tickets)

Seeing Xu Shu finally agree, the worry and gloom vanished from Su Ji’s face.

She slowly released her hand and gently parted her lips, saying, "I want to ask you to take action and help me kill someone. In return, after the task is complete, I will tell you an effective way to control that woman from the Star Group."

Oh?

Murder?

Xu Shu frowned upon hearing this. A dubious piece of information, and you want me to commit murder for you? It’s a bit funny, Miss. Without a greater cost, it’s impossible to move me...

He didn’t rush to refuse, but instead asked indifferently, "Tell me, who to kill."

"The Pale Death God’s last oracle, the Heart Demon, Suji Herrera."

"...Who?" Xu Shu raised his eyebrows.

"Heh, you heard correctly."

Seeing the surprise on Xu Shu’s face turned to delight, Su Ji regained her usual elegance and composure.

She crossed her legs and arms, bowed deeply to Xu Shu, and said, "I want to ask for your help to kill myself."

Xu Shu:...

Uh, how to put this? So after all this, she wants to commit suicide?

No, if it were suicide, it wouldn’t need to be this complicated, nor would she say things like "I’ll pay the rest after the task is complete"...

Right, her description of the target was "Pale Death God’s oracle, the Heart Demon."

And when her nuns describe her, they use "the master of Storm Manor, the Empress who wields catastrophe and blessings."

These are clearly statements with different implications, so these two "Suji Herrera" do not seem to be the same.

And the Pale Death God is Althias, which is also a part of the Tailed Ksitigarbha. It seems the Heart Demon she mentioned is undoubtedly the creature I once summoned from the "Mysterious Book" or perhaps the "Demon’s Book."

Tsk, this is getting interesting now. She said, "kill myself," implying she is both number N0.187 from the "Demon’s Book" and the mistress of Storm Manor...

Right, she just mentioned that she is a priestess at the Black Zhen School, studying the divergence of spirit and flesh, the fusion of soul and body.

It seems very likely that Suji Herrera split, her schizophrenia turning into a physical division, creating two separate entities.

This perfectly explains why she would want this odd arrangement of "me killing myself."

Xu Shu eyed Su Ji, who looked like an aristocratic lady, scrolling his gaze up and down her voluptuous body, more and more convinced of his hypothesis.

Su Ji noticed the surprise vanish from Xu Shu’s face and felt a bit disappointed.

Then seeing his gaze growing more perverse, she suddenly felt as though she was naked in front of him.

She instinctively pressed her chest, covering the lofty peaks and deep valleys with her collar, blocking Xu Shu’s view, and candidly said, "Okay, no more mysteries. Actually, she is also me, but she is a special experimental product, a mistake our Black Zhen School made on the path of seeking truth~"

Pausing, Su Ji continued, "Have you ever heard of the Three Corpses?"

I’m familiar with it; I’ve seen it, no, I’ve even engaged with it... Xu Shu, with a fleeting astonishment in his calm eyes, asked, "What do you mean?"

Su Ji sighed and said, "It’s shameful to say, but thanks to the Lord’s blessing, our school received a great theory. However, despite the grand divinity, we struggled to verify it until my generation. I used my own body for a live experiment, and the results proved the ’divergence of spirit and body, the separation of soul and flesh’ is an existing truth."

"But as a price, it also gave rise to one of my Three Corpses. She possesses decent strength and took advantage of my weakness at that time, killed the research staff present, and escaped, becoming the terrifying ’Heart Demon.’ To grow stronger, she later killed countless people, turning into a bloodthirsty maniac."

"The last time I heard of her, she had been listed by the Winter Valley Research Association in the world’s top 500 demons, ranked 187th. Speaking of which, the Demon Research Handbook from the Winter Valley Research Association should be in your possession, which is why I have been wanting to invite you over to talk."

After finishing, Su Ji looked steadily at Xu Shu, indicating she had revealed everything she knew.

"So it is..."

Xu Shu thought to himself, as expected.

So the octopus-headed Su Ji is the Three Corpses of the noble Empress Su Ji before him, aligning with his own initial guess.

He combined the information provided by the other party with his own speculation, further verifying his thoughts.

Indeed, the Three Corpses effectively created another self, an advanced version of "personality split" known as "physical split."

No wonder Su Ji half-jokingly, half-seriously said, "I’m asking you to kill me." In a sense, her Three Corpses is indeed identical to her, having the same memories, status, etc., which is far more advanced than any clone.

The only thing Xu Shu didn’t understand was why Su Ji’s Three Corpses possessed the same strength as her. He remembered that the Three Corpses he had encountered previously only had status and memory but lacked corresponding strength.

However, this could be attributed to her school’s research on "the divergence of body and mind," which sounded like a problematic area to begin with.
