I'm a villain, not a devil

The Youye who had evolved again was more powerful than expected. The swallowing ability of the big earthworm gave it an ability that was almost the same as the "Star Absorbing Method".

Moreover, this was not the same as its own ability to swallow and evolve, nor did it conflict with it.

The only pity was that the energy absorbed by Youye could not be used to replenish the user, but it made the surface of its rusty energy battle blade smoother.

After killing Pazuzu, Youye also gained a new ability: spreading the plague.

When waving, the plague will spread uncontrollably to the surroundings. When it affects a certain limit, the enemy will be infected with the plague called "Holy Fire Disease".

However, Youye is a weapon after all, and Sean is not sure what this Holy Fire Disease is.

Glancing at Pazuzu's body, according to the other party, he was one of the test subjects of the Plague Walker and the only survivor of the Holy Fire Disease.

The Holy Fire Disease should be the ultimate form of this plague, and Pazuzu seems to have the ability to "spread the Holy Fire" because he survived.

Sean didn't want to kill him. As a master of punishment and a master of deception, he had many ways to dig out important information from the other party.

However, Pazuzu was Crimson after all. When he wanted to die, Sean couldn't stop him.

As Pazuzu's life breath completely dissipated, the plague around him gradually disappeared into the air, as if nothing had happened.

"It's different from the plague in the stereotype..." Sean muttered.

After cleaning up the scene, he disappeared silently.

...

"Id Church... Tsk, it stands to reason that such a big church doesn't need to hide a name..."

After returning to his residence, Sean looked through all the information he could find. Without exception, the name of Id Church did not appear in the information.

Sean, who had dealt with the Church, had naturally looked up relevant information early on, but at that time he only knew that there was a religious city-state far away from Paradise City, with a population similar to that of Paradise City after the disaster, but many small cities and tribes around it believed in the Church, and there were many believers.

At that time, Sean was a little strange, because the Church did not have a specific religious title, and the Lord it believed in was only called a more abstract and popular "Great Lord".

However, after all, they were far apart, and there was no direct conflict between him and the Church at that time, so Sean still focused on other things.

Unexpectedly, he would actually meet someone from the other side in the imperial capital.

The Self Church... Why did it hide the name of its sect?

Moreover, Sean always felt that the other side might have more special proliferation in its hands than he imagined.

The forehead gem that once used Ganhu as a power bank was one, and the Crimson Peak that had negotiated with him should also have one, and now, the source of the big earthworm should also have one.

Sean took out the metal fragments he got from the giant earthworm. It was not possible to tell what it looked like before it was alive, but it was certain that it was part of a special proliferation.

He guessed that the Bezoar cut off a special proliferation and used some elements of the evil dome to cultivate creatures like giant earthworms.

However, these can be temporarily stopped at the level of the Bezoar sect, and now may not be the time to delve into it.

What Sean needs to figure out is how the Bezoar contacted the top leaders of the empire and reached a certain consensus with the tree people on the other side of the violent sea.

"The Bezoar is even helping to monitor... This shows that this matter is indeed unrelated to Bai Youming and the emperor. They are also worried that the forgery of Major General Lance's resume will be discovered, which will expose the tricks of the Raya Volcano Guard."

It's a pity that Pazuzu didn't say who the traitor in the empire was.

Of course, Sean already had some guesses.

After noticing Pazuzu's identity, the first people he suspected were the fourth prince Bai Si and Golden Dawn.

Although different sects are all heretics who are unforgivable in their own eyes, it is not uncommon for sects to have connections. Moreover, the status of the Golden Dawn in the entire empire is not high, and the military can bully it at will. Sean borrowed the name of Bai Youming and also made moves on the other side.

He suspected that the Golden Dawn might be a branch of the Self Church in the empire.

Moreover, the identity of the fourth prince Bai Si also meets the requirements of this inner ghost.

Generally speaking, there are only a few people who can tamper with the resume of a major general and do it in a subtle way. Even if others have this ability, they are not qualified.

Several princes, several grand dukes, a group of people in the parliament, and a group of people in the military are qualified.

In addition, Sean noticed a sentence that Pazuzu said before.

"It is not considered surrender to nothingness. At least, our collaborator should also be qualified to accept the surrender of the people of this country."

The collaborator mentioned by Pazuzu should be the inner ghost, and this person is qualified to accept the surrender of the people of the empire?

The implication is obvious: the other party is related to the royal family.

After excluding the prince and the emperor himself, the only suspects left are the eldest prince Bai Zhan, the second prince Bai Wen, and the fourth prince Bai Si.

The third prince Bai You, who is currently in prison and trying to take every opportunity to avenge his brothers, obviously cannot be a traitor, and Bai Ye Ye, who is qualified to inherit the throne, has no chance.

Among the remaining three princes, Bai Wen's forces are all concentrated in the three major administrative regions. His biggest forces in the imperial capital are the Security Bureau and his biological mother, Grand Duke Yuan Tie. The Security Bureau has been taken over by Sean and Bai Ye's people, and Grand Duke Yuan Tie Bai Youming has never been liked by Bai Youming, and the military is Bai Youming's territory. It is too difficult for the other party to intervene, so Bai Wen can basically be ruled out.

This matter has obviously been planned for a long time, because Major General Rensi went to Laya Volcano more than three years ago, and so many things had not happened at that time. Among the princes, the eldest prince Bai Zhan has the highest chance of inheriting the throne. There is no need for him to join forces with outsiders to disrupt the entire country in order to seek benefits. The risks are too high and the returns are too low.

On the other hand, the fourth prince Bai Si, before this, although he had always had the right to inherit, he had always been suppressed by his brother Bai You. He basically only stayed at the Golden Dawn, which also led to his low reputation. From all aspects, he inherited the throne. The probability is the smallest.

His attack on his brother Bai You has already proven his ambition, so it's not surprising that such a person would do anything.

Moreover, it is the easiest and most convenient among these people for Bai Sisi to clearly grasp Lan Ke'er's whereabouts, and no one will even suspect his intentions.

"It seems like Bai Si is the only one left..." Sean muttered to himself.

"However, I always feel that something is wrong..." He thought, trying to remember the point where he felt something was wrong.

Of course, advancing to Crimson will not bring about changes in my life form, nor will it improve my IQ or anything. What I couldn't figure out before will most likely not be figured out now.

Not finding the answer, Sean could only shrug his shoulders.

However, compared to other crimsons struggling with pollution, I'm pretty good. Sean thought with some schadenfreude.

After thinking everything through, Sean stood up and raised the corners of his mouth in a slightly evil arc.

It doesn't matter whether the inner ghost is the fourth prince Bai Si or the eldest prince Bai Zhan.

Now, just think that the other party is Bai Si...

Of course, it would be even better to find out after solving the 'inner ghost' that there is someone else.

When killing someone with a borrowed knife, it doesn't matter who the person is, the most important thing is that they have a knife in their hand.

…

On the tenth day after the empire's leading 100,000-strong army was defeated, the Treant Legion from the other side of the Raging Sea officially broke through the empire's northernmost defense line and declared its entry into the empire's territory.

They launched a new banner: "The people of the fertile soil have returned, and the thieves of the world must be punished."

The implication is that they are the indigenous people of this continent, and the humans who have survived, multiplied, and developed here for hundreds of years are just a group of thieves.

The tree people even sent diplomats.

The tree diplomat with the small red fruits on his ears demanded that the entire empire hand over all its territory and release all defense lines for the army of tree people to march in.

They promised that the original aristocratic class could become second-class citizens of the new country, and all they had to do when meeting the tree people aborigines was to bow.

As for the original civilians? What a joke, slaves are nothing more than commodities available for trade in this world.

Such arrogant words aroused the dissatisfaction of the entire empire, and the emperor, who had not responded for a long time, finally spoke.

Kill all the invading enemies!

The tree diplomat was turned into a wooden sculpture and sent back to the enemy camp, announcing the complete breakdown of the negotiations.

Taking the northernmost border of the empire as the fighting area, the two sides launched a fierce battle.

After initially figuring out the details of the enemy, the Imperial Army finally showed outstanding combat effectiveness. After all, it was the country that beat the most people on this continent.

The first contact ended with a great victory for the Imperial Army, but soon bad news came, as the observed number of enemies decreased instead of increasing.

The spies sent back a secret report. Near the coastline, what was visible to the naked eye was full of driftwood from across the ocean. They stepped on the beach, and then absorbed the volcanic ash brought by the continuous eruptions of the Laya volcano, completing their first evolution. , and quickly entered the battlefield.

It was as if these tree men could not be killed cleanly, and the imperial army could not open a hole in the front.

At the beginning, even when a hundred thousand troops were defeated, the entire empire was only shocked, replaced by anger. When had the empire ever suffered such a defeat?

However, as the war became more and more anxious, some people finally began to worry.

They began to worry whether the tree people really couldn't kill them all. If this was the case, then even if the imperial army could win, it would probably be a miserable victory.

I heard that someone entered the palace and wanted to see the emperor to see if there was any other way to deal with it. However, His Majesty the Emperor fell silent again after declaring war, completely obsessed with saving his life.

This news was spread widely by people who were interested. For a while, although there was no change on the surface, people in the empire began to feel a little unknowingly.

Of course, for the entire imperial capital, the changes are not big.

The last time the army led by Shi Hai was defeated and was hunted down, it was nearly a thousand kilometers away from the imperial capital. What's more, the current war is concentrated near the national border further away. If it weren't for the soldiers wearing helmets and armor every day in the city, Walking through it, it feels like nothing has happened in the imperial capital.

The same goes for Sean.

He has no sense of belonging to the empire. The most serious days these days are basically when he occasionally expresses his concerns when meeting Bai Youming.

But his cheap godfather didn't seem too anxious, and in the end Sean simply stopped acting.

He did not tell Bai Youming about the insider. Now was not the best time. He had to wait for a more urgent time to throw out more explosive news. Of course, he also needed to collect more effective evidence.

In addition, to be honest, Sean personally believed that although the tree people looked powerful, they would be just like that in the end.

Because of Bai Youming.

Bai Youming was too scary. In this world where personal force can greatly affect the direction of the entire world, if you can't deal with the opponent's top combat power, you can't cause a fatal blow to the opponent.

A few days ago, a large army of tree people took advantage. They were probably really proud of themselves. Only 10,000 people actually killed into the border of the empire.

Coincidentally, Bai Youming was about 300 kilometers away from there that day.

No one knows what happened specifically, but the people who went to clean up the battlefield turned around and left after arriving at the scene.

Have you seen a big pit? Is there any value in cleaning up a big pit with nothing in it?

Bai Youming is so terrifying.

However, up to now, no one really knows the specific strength stage of Bai Youming, and no one knows what his proliferation is and where it is hidden.

In addition, one thing that can be seen is that Bai Youming seems to have a fixed range of activities. Until now, he has not stepped out of the imperial border. This seems to be some kind of restriction.

Since Bai Youming is not in a hurry, Sean is even less anxious.

He still exists as a "dead man". Occasionally, when he follows Bai Youming to the military headquarters, he still becomes the same image as last time. In the process of going back and forth, he has become familiar with the military.

Even the eldest prince Bai Zhan has come to him more than once to try.

The last person who received this treatment from Bai Youming was called Wu Xiao, and he is now the Grand Marshal of the Empire.

After that, there was another one, that one was called Sean, and he was the prince, but he was unlucky and died.

Then, this one is naturally necessary to make friends with.

After declining the invitation of the eldest prince many times, Sean finally agreed reluctantly on this day.

There is no way, he is too enthusiastic.

"Lord Lan Ye, the princess has been waiting for you for a long time." The person leading the way was a second lieutenant. Although he was at the same level as Sean and even a confidant of Bai Zhan, he still smiled and looked quite flattering.

Lan Ye, this is a name Sean casually gave, which sounds a little sensitive.

However, the military has investigated and found that this unknown Lord Lan Ye has no connection with the Lan family or the Bai Ye caravan of Her Royal Highness the Princess.

But after knowing this, Lan Keer giggled and served Sean well, and also played some tricks that could not be said.

It can be seen that naming is indeed a bit particular.
