Chapter 229: Chapter 39: Plundering Someone Else’s Treasury
Standing in front of the metal door, Su Xiao began examining the structure of the door.
The entire metal door was very tightly constructed, with numerous gears and mechanisms distributed across it.
"Looks like that guy wasn’t lying."
Su Xiao set the girl on his shoulder down, lifted her slender arm, and inserted it into an opening in the metal door.
Clack, clack, clack...
The gears on the metal door started to operate, and after a few seconds, the metal door slowly rose.
This thing was not merely a door; it was a subject tool.
A so-called subject tool is a forgery of an Imperial tool, imitating the craftsmanship of an Imperial tool, but its ability is much weaker compared to the Imperial tool.
Four hundred years after the emergence of Imperial tools, an emperor attempted to create them again, but the counterfeit Imperial tools that were made were not as strong as before.
The emperor considered this a disgrace and sealed all the subject tools, and a few hundred years later, due to war, the Empire brought out the subject tools for use.
This door in front is one type of subject tool, called the Monsonia Gate of Eternity, which can only be opened by its user.
The girl Su Xiao kidnapped is the user of this subject tool. Without her, opening this door would be challenging, requiring violent means.
Sensing the surroundings, it seemed safe, but he did not rush into the Revolutionary Army’s Imperial Instrument Storage Room.
Su Xiao narrowed his eyes and bent down to look into the basement, where some nearly invisible thin metal wires covered the entire basement.
Taking out a package of dust, Su Xiao scattered it into the basement.
A red mist spread throughout the basement, gradually settling on the ground, with hundreds of red threads now visible.
Triggering these threads could likely set off an alarm. These threads should be disarmable, but the small leader he captured did not know about their existence, which Su Xiao had just discovered.
Understanding the Monsonia Gate of Eternity was lucky enough; one shouldn’t be too greedy.
Carefully observing the threads in the basement, Su Xiao found a gap among them.
In the center of the basement, there was a wooden table with several Imperial tools placed on it.
Bending low and threading through the lines, any slight misstep now would expose him.
As time passed, Su Xiao slowly approached the wooden table in the basement; it was very meticulous work.
Ten meters, five meters, three meters.
Su Xiao reached the wooden table; around this time, he was surrounded by threads everywhere, and even a slight movement of his body could touch them.
He could reach out and touch the Imperial tools on the table, but things were not so smooth.
The Imperial tools on the table were entwined with numerous threads, and grabbing one recklessly would surely trigger an alarm.
But this was not something that could stop Su Xiao; he had maneuvered through rooms full of infrared beams, much less these metal threads.
Before entering the Reincarnation Paradise, Su Xiao had the habit of carrying some small tools with him, especially now that he had a storage space.
Taking out a palm-sized pair of pliers and several small tools, Su Xiao began disarming the room’s alarm system.
The alarm system is merely triggered by these threads; he tried it earlier, as long as the threads were not tugged significantly, there would be no problem.
The source of the alarm system was within the walls, something he could ignore, meaning he could only manipulate the metal threads.
Snipping one metal thread after another and securing them in place, five minutes later, the first Imperial tool was in his hand.
Su Xiao didn’t check the functionality of the Imperial tool and directly stored it; there were five in total on the table, and one of them was a biological type, which cheered him up.
As long as there were no slip-ups, he could gather all the items needed for the design plan today.
Su Xiao’s fingers were nimble and steady, and one by one, the Imperial tools were being stashed into his storage space.
Two, three, four items.
Su Xiao looked at the last Imperial tool, which was the biological type, encased in a medium-sized test tube filled with light green solution.
Due to its size, this Imperial tool had the most metal threads wrapped around it. He tried opening the test tube to directly take out the biological Imperial tool, but the test tube was sealed tight.
Other Imperial tools had at most a dozen threads wrapped around them, but this half-meter-high test tube had dozens.
Flexing his somewhat sore fingers, Su Xiao took a deep breath and continued.
This was the Revolutionary Army’s Imperial Instrument Storage Room, and the guards outside might periodically change their posts. He had already been in the basement for an hour.
He could stay for a maximum of two hours, something Su Xiao had planned beforehand.
He could take risks, but not reckless ones; it wasn’t worth risking his life for a single biological Imperial tool.
Clipping one metal thread after another, time flowed by at his fingertips.
After half an hour, three threads remained wrapped around the test tube.
With a final snip, the last metal thread was clipped and secured, and Su Xiao placed his hand on the test tube, making it disappear.
Su Xiao slowly retreated from the basement; the densely packed metal threads weren’t enough to stop him.
Reaching the door of the basement, he exhaled deeply; this was more exhausting than fighting a battle.
Su Xiao rubbed his slightly swelling forehead. Disarming the basement mechanisms while also sensing every stir in the surroundings drained him.
His perception became somewhat blurred; Su Xiao knew this was an aftereffect of energy exhaustion, something he had experienced before, and could recover after a period of rest.
His perception somewhat recovered, and Su Xiao’s pupils narrowed sharply.
Someone was coming, heading straight to the basement. Even worse, there was only one tunnel leading to the basement, with no place to hide along the smooth steel walls.
He glanced back at the basement; Su Xiao shook his head, knowing that returning there would make him a sitting duck.
He must fight his way out! And it had to be fast.
Dragon Slash appeared in his hand; Su Xiao looked upward at the top of the stairs—the enemy was near.
A white-haired "big sister" emerged at the corner, accompanied by several officers of the Revolutionary Army.
Su Xiao quickly charged up the stairs; at this moment, there wasn’t a second to waste.
"Najenda?"
While running, Su Xiao glanced at the white-haired woman. He unexpectedly encountered the leader of the Night Raid Team, Najenda.
Najenda was momentarily stunned upon seeing Su Xiao, her eyes widening.
"Bai... Bai Ye!"
Najenda gritted her teeth. Just as she was about to shout, Su Xiao had already rushed forward.
At such a moment, Su Xiao wouldn’t waste time with words.
"Com..."
Just as Najenda was about to yell out half a word, the long knife in Su Xiao’s hand slashed towards her, causing Najenda to instinctively step back.
Splurt.
Blood splattered on Su Xiao; the Revolutionary Army members blocking in front of Najenda had already been slaughtered.
The other Revolutionary Army members instinctively lunged forward to protect Najenda, yet the silver blade light flashed, dismembered limbs flew, and in an instant, several were cut down. Su Xiao charged towards Najenda; her speed seemed slow, appearing somewhat weakened.
Dragon Slash sliced through the air, the blade light exceptionally prominent under the moonlight.
Splurt.
Najenda was slashed from her abdomen into two parts, as Su Xiao stood on the stairs and could only reach Najenda’s waist.
Cut in half, Najenda fell to the ground with a thud.
"Ah!!"
Najenda wasn’t screaming in agony, but deliberately letting out a shout to draw the attention of other Revolutionary Army members. Under Su Xiao’s blade, she simply couldn’t get a word in.
Su Xiao paced up to Najenda; though she was already bound to die, he could not allow her to keep shouting. It was vital to finish quickly.
Bang.
A loud crash sounded above, as a stark-naked man crashed through the ceiling, leaping down—it was the humanoid biological Imperial tool, Lightning Flint · Susanoo, who was in the adjustment phase.
