Chapter 481: Chapter 122: Acquired, Third-order Curse Crystal, The Chief Informant (Seeking Monthly Pass)_2

Boom~

In the midst of a massive explosion and fire, Su Ji Herrera, who had transformed into an octopus and still looked quite cute, screamed as she got burnt to a squid skewer, and then to charcoal squid, leaving only Fish Head Su next door, who also suffered a blow to the face by a shoehorn, staring at Xu Shu in shock.

She never imagined that this man would actually be able to kill Fish Head Su.

She thought she had been hit!

No, her fate might not be good even after this...

"Lance Xu Shu, can we reconcile? I can tell you all the information I know... I have my difficulties... Give me a chance, Li Fengtian?" Su Ji Herrera pursed her lips.

Xu Shu looked disdainful, "A chance? You chose to betray me, why would I give you a chance?"

Su Ji said bitterly, "I had no choice before, but now I just want to be a good person, really."

Xu Shu chuckled derisively, "Fine, go and ask the Dark Mother Goddess if She will allow you to be a good person?"

Su Ji’s pupils dilated in disbelief, "You, how could you... how..."

"Curious how I know your background?"

"No, it’s just that I..." Su Ji’s words fell into disarray, obviously, Xu Shu’s direct mention of the "Dark Mother Goddess" had completely robbed her of her confidence.

Xu Shu’s eyes shifted, taking the chance to say, "How about this, tell me the exact location of the Dark Mother Goddess and her believers, and where the impending transformation of the Sky Sea will take place. Tell me where the last failure occurred, and I’ll let you go. How about that?"

At these words, Su Ji’s pupils widened even more.

She couldn’t imagine how the man in front of her could speak of secrets only she knew as if they were cabbages by the roadside.

He even knew that this wasn’t the first time the Sky Sea had undergone transformation!

How was that possible?

How could a human possibly know these things?

This was impossible; no one other than herself should have this knowledge, let alone dare to reveal it!

Su Ji Herrera’s mouth quivered a few times, completely losing the Empress’s proud composure, she slowly said, "The Sky Sea is a counterattack! It belongs to higher beings... A counterattack! They have been planning for many years but failed a month ago... This time, they will succeed..."

Her voice grew quieter and quieter.

"To put it simply, it sounds like some kind of terrorist attack plan, doesn’t it? When is this going to happen? Where exactly is it? Can you give me the coordinates?"

Xu Shu’s eyes lit up, thinking he might get more information.

He spread his legs and grabbed Su Ji’s shoulders, making a firm promise:

"Just tell me, and I’ll let you go! A man’s word is his bond!"

"The coordinates are... it’s to the...!!" Su Ji’s face was filled with terror. She seemed to want to speak, but her body suddenly started to break apart, revealing cracks filled with writhing masses of red, black, and white.

Could there be such a restriction?

Xu Shu’s eyelids twitched, hurrying to ask, "To the east what? The eastern part of the Wasteland, right? What about the exact coordinates?"

"East... coordinates, at... Ahhh!"

Su Ji uttered a word and then clutched her head, her face twisting in agony, "No, I can’t say it... please, let me go, ahh!"

The cracks on her body widened, and a sticky liquid started to ooze out, which was very viscid and horrifying to look at.

Seeing this, Xu Shu dared not press her further.

These cracks looked like they could take Su Ji’s life, and if she died, he would have to accompany her to the grave.

So, he decisively stopped asking and kicked Su Ji away, sending her tumbling among the nuns scattered all over the floor.

Su Ji then came back to her senses and said in astonishment, "You, you let me go?"

"What do you think? Better keep your distance from me." Xu Shu sneered, no longer wasting words with her, and immediately picked up three completely fused, dazzling curse crystals from the ruins and stuffed them into his pocket.

Among these, the First and Second Rank Curse Crystals had a full 18 erosion spirals, and the Third Rank Curse Crystal had 16 spirals, just two short of being full level.

Even so, this was Xu Shu’s richest haul from his many hunts so far.

In fact, there had been three Erosion Crystals with Lance last time, all of them Level 18, which wasn’t bad at all, but unfortunately, most of them had been taken by Wuxin.

After all this was done, Xu Shu didn’t linger, turning around and walking away immediately.

Su Ji lay on the ground, staring in astonishment for a while.

Rubbing her gradually recovering chest, then looking at the Fish Head Su’s body on the ground that had turned into crushed pieces, her face actually showed a moment of daze.

"Li Fengtian, wait a minute..." Su Ji suddenly halted Xu Shu.

Xu Shu stood on the border line, slightly tilting his head, "Is there anything else? You can’t say it, so why call me? It would be better if we pretended we never met each other."

"I..."

Seeing Xu Shu so determined, Su Ji shook her lips and after a long pause said, "I am very grateful for your help. I can promise you that from now on I will never step into human territories again, but I want to tell you that I hope you leave this place as soon as possible! I do not wish to see someone like you die in such a place."

It seemed like she was under some sort of affliction, looking at Xu Shu as if she suddenly saw him in a new light.

Even though just a moment ago, Xu Shu had been pressing her down on the ground, writhing between life and death.

Xu Shu, upon hearing this, was silent for a while.

For him, had he not known that Su Ji’s death would have caused terrible consequences, and that the secrets she carried were too terrifying, too terrifying to even share with others, he would never have let her go.

But now, with the most valuable Curse Crystals inside Fish Head Su obtained, and with Human Head Su being a hot potato he could neither kill nor keep imprisoned, for who knew when the "Dark Mother Goddess’s" eyeball might appear?

Under these circumstances, since Su Ji herself offered to leave, Xu Shu naturally felt it was the best outcome.

Thinking it over, to cement this matter, Xu Shu paused slightly, waved his hand, and without looking back said, "I get it. I hope you live up to your words and never enter human territories again!"

Having said that, he strode swiftly and quickly vanished from everyone’s sight.

Leaving Su Ji lying on the ground, her beautiful form stretched out, her eyes shifting, as if whispering.

"Master, what shall we do next?"

"Are we going back to Storm Manor?"

The Broken Finger Nuns who had lost a lot of blood gathered around, seeking instructions.

Su Ji Herrera’s gaze regained its icy cold look, and she calmly said, "There’s nothing to stay for, let’s go."

Then, without another word, she began to heal her wounds right there.

Slowly, a group of people were covered by the windswept sands of the wasteland until they were no longer visible.

Xu Shu walked a great distance, staying vigilant as he made his way back to (15,19), and immediately upon entering the door, he had Gu Pan and Gu Yue Ming pack their things and leave on the spot.

His mind lingered on the difficult-to-extract bits of information from Su Ji Herrera, surmising that something was about to happen with these cultists somewhere in the eastern wasteland.

Moreover, it seemed no small matter, possibly tied to the life and death of many.

Not until he boarded the car did these pieces of information stop swirling in Xu Shu’s mind.

Eyes closed in contemplation, it was only nearing evening, as the sky grew dark and a relatively intact (1,19) lighthouse appeared not far ahead, that Xu Shu finally opened his eyes, a smile on his face.

As the driver, Gu Pan saw all this in the rearview mirror and couldn’t help but be curious, "What’s suddenly so funny? And did we really lose those Ghost Nuns, they’re taken care of?"

Xu Shu chuckled, "Of course they’re taken care of. Not only that, but we can also rest easy now."

"Why?" both Gu Yue Ming and Gu Pan were puzzled.

Xu Shu smiled, "It’s nothing, let me file a report!"

Finished speaking, he sat in the back seat nudging his crotch, calmly opening the upgraded network panel and switching to the small screen mode.

In the "Private Message Channel," he found a familiar name.

Yu Mingluan.

The Archbishop of the Dawn Church in the local safe zone!

"Lord Bishop, I have a report! There’s a cult planning a terrorist ritual in the eastern wasteland, involving a sect known as the ’Dark Mother Goddess’. The name of the ritual is related to the Sky Sea! I couldn’t get more information, as they self-detonated into ashes. Do you know what the Sky Sea is, Lord Bishop? I’m looking forward to your answer—a kindly and outstanding youth concerned with the well-being of all mankind, Xu Shu, reporting to you."
