I'm a villain, not a devil

"The real coordinates have been generated, and the database has been updated from the map data you uploaded nineteen days and seven hours ago. Saint Three, please confirm."

"Confirm."

"Yes, the real coordinates are being sent."

When the real coordinates corresponded to the directions on the map, Sean narrowed his eyes slightly.

This location...how come it is in the north of the imperial capital? And it is almost outside the city.

Sean originally thought that this location would most likely lead directly to the palace, and even directly correspond to the emperor's bedroom where he stayed for more than ten years.

The black nematodes must have been created by the emperor, but the importance of this kind of prop implanted in people is self-evident. How could it not be connected to the palace? Could it be that the location pointed to some secret base of the emperor?

Wait...

Sean suddenly paused, and he remembered that the direction of the Black Pigeon Prison was exactly north of the imperial capital.

The prisoner imprisoned at the bottom of the Black Pigeon Prison had a great connection with the black nematodes. Sean even suspected that he was the source of the black nematodes. The emperor locked him up in order to continuously produce "resources".

Now that the prisoner and the black pigeon have flown away together, doesn't it mean that the resources used by His Majesty the Emperor to control the entire imperial capital have no follow-up?

However, the release of the black pigeon was apparently the work of Bai Zhan, but in fact, Bai Zhan must have obtained the emperor's tacit approval... The emperor must know what will happen after this decision is made...

Wait, then why, after these things, ordinary residents in the slums began to have black nematodes in hibernation?

Because the prisoner who might be the source of the black nematodes was far away from the imperial capital - just like the distance between the larvae and the mother is too far, resulting in the larvae being unable to have a mysterious connection with the mother, and the larvae can only enter a dormant state...

Sean frowned, standing in place, pacing back and forth while dragging his chin to think about everything that has happened recently.

He always felt that there was something that didn't make sense.

Sean is a person who often makes inferences based on the details he observes, and facts have proved that his inferences are often on the right track.

In the matter of the black nematodes, the eldest prince Bai Zhan, and the emperor, Sean obviously knew more secrets than others. He did speculate many things that others could not speculate, but he always felt that there was something he had not thought of.

Sean thought carefully about what he had focused on during this period of time.

Gradually, he found that he seemed to have been following Bai Zhan's rhythm?

Starting from accompanying Bai Ye to advance to Crimson, although Bai Ye took the initiative to advance and he helped, everything that happened near the Raya Volcano could not be said to have nothing to do with Bai Zhan.

Then came the matter of Paradise City. The group of tree people tried to control Jin Kui and take charge of Paradise City, but were taken down in advance by Sean who had invented the summoning ritual and had been prepared for a long time.

Then there was the Black Pigeon Prison incident not long ago. Others did not know, but Sean knew very well that the driving force behind it was Bai Zhan himself.

Finally, Sean finally traced the "fire" at the construction site and the crazy beast incident to the Kaizhi Institute.

Sean did not think that Bai Zhan was the first to grasp his information and actions, and led him into a trap step by step in various ways, because he took the initiative to participate in all these things, and in the second half of the matter, he wanted to dig out more secrets before he came into contact with deeper secrets.

To be frank, with the brains of Bai Zhan and the people behind Bai Zhan, they wanted to set a trap for Sean, and wait for them to travel back to Earth and meet the production team, and then travel back again, which was almost enough.

Sean was very sure that he would not step into the other party's rhythm for no reason, which could only mean one thing.

All things seemed to have nothing to do with each other, but the connection behind the scenes was too strong, and the ultimate goal was highly consistent with the goal that Sean wanted to achieve.

This directly led to Sean accidentally "keeping up" with the other party's rhythm-even, Sean believed that this "rhythm" was not done by Bai Zhan, because according to the information he found, Bai Zhan seemed to be one of those who were brought into the rhythm.

So, what has been his goal all along?

Sean was very determined, and what he had to do was very simple-to completely subvert the world he created.

As for whether the world will completely fall into hell after the overthrow, or be reborn on the ruins, these are not things Sean cares about.

To achieve this goal, Sean needs to conduct enough and long enough experiments. The one-third acre of land in Paradise City is not small, and the controller there is also closely related to him, which is an excellent choice for the experiment site.

But unfortunately, Paradise City is only one city-state after all, and the city that is in ruins needs time to develop, soar, degenerate, and corrupt. Sean firmly believes that the latter two can be done well with the nature of Paradise City, but the former two are always indispensable.

Then, a sufficiently powerful and vast empire became Sean's best choice.

Whether it is to fully support Bai Ye, or to take Lam under him, or to build a good relationship with Bai You, who is both a brother-in-law and a nephew, it is all for the purpose of controlling the empire.

Exploring secrets and secretly suppressing the other princes is also for this purpose.

In other words, the person who made Sean unconsciously set the same rhythm is also doing this.

That person also wants to completely hold the empire in his own hands...

It seems too broad to say this way - whether it is Bai Zhan, Bai Wen or Bai Si, they are all doing this, even Cardinal Karado of the Golden Dawn and the unknown strong man of the I Church, who says they don't want to?

Then refine your feelings a little more... The other party is just like you, wanting the empire to become more chaotic, wanting the empire to develop in the direction you envision in your heart.

Sean suddenly realized that if the scope is narrowed so much, there will be no one in the selection range at once.

Because this goal is naturally in conflict with the upper class's vision - vested interests and those in high positions naturally want stability.

So, what if the other party's desire to do all this is even greater than the upper class's natural mentality of maintaining stability?

This means that the other party must have something that must be achieved, and this kind of thing is often related to the most important factor, such as... life and death.

Sean narrowed his eyes slightly.

Life and death... chaos... guiding Bai Zhan...

All of this points to the emperor who rarely shows up and is gradually being labeled as stupid.

It sounds ridiculous.

The emperor is already the most powerful person in the entire empire. With just one sentence, he can make the whole country tremble, because this country is his property.

Making his own property chaotic and disordered is fundamentally a conflicting behavior.

However, the emperor is dying.

What if he really found a way to prolong his life, and this method requires making the entire empire chaotic and disordered?

Logically speaking, the emperor could have made more foolish moves. He has plenty of ways, instead of secretly pushing Bai Zhan like he is doing now - yes, Sean has almost determined that Bai Zhan may think that many of his decisions are his own, but in fact, not everyone can perceive the emperor's big hand behind the scenes.

However, these speculations are all from the most realistic and practical perspective, and some secret factors cannot be derived by Sean's current speculation.

"If it is said that all that Bai Zhan did was secretly promoted by the emperor... Bai Zhan may not know that some people in the slums have black nematodes in hibernation. No, to be precise, he does not even know the existence of black nematodes, and he only thought that the lowest-level prisoner of the Black Pigeon was a strong man from the tree people..."

"But everything Bai Zhan is doing now is what the emperor wants... The fire at the construction site and the crazy beasts are to cover up the thousands of corpses that have been added for no reason. Since corpses and death can be used, Bai Zhan is most likely preparing a super-large ceremony, which corresponds to the ego religion."

"But this is also what the emperor wants... Could it be that this is also a ritual?"

Sean muttered to himself, and then cast his eyes on the statue on the throne in front of him again. Even though it was blurred, it can still be seen that the statue is looking calmly into the distance.

Following the direction of the statue's eyes, Sean looked over there. There was the highest position in the entire imperial capital, the mountain in the city, and on the top of the mountain was the emperor's bedroom.

He looked down at the people in the imperial capital from a high place, and let all the eyes of the people look at him.

Sean grinned. This emperor must be a super narcissist.

However, if this is the emperor's own plan, is there any need for him to intervene?

This is a question...

Sean has always been a pragmatist. Although he likes to indulge in tenderness, likes to pretend to be a bit of a big deal, and likes to see the faces of those who are against him full of despair, it must be said that if many things can be solved without his personal intervention, he is also happy to be idle.

This has little to do with ambition or not, it is mainly laziness...

If I suspend many investigations now, then the emperor's plan should proceed as usual, and the empire is likely to enter chaos according to my guess-although this chaos is caused by their emperor himself.

But for Sean, it doesn't matter who caused the chaos, the most important thing is to make it chaotic.

It seems that putting everything aside is the most cost-effective option.

However, after only hesitating for half a minute, Sean gave up this idea.

He stretched his body vigorously, then lazily dropped his arms, looked up at the emperor who was high above him, and said helplessly:

"Your Majesty, if my guess is correct, then you can help me a lot... It's a pity."

Sean showed a mouthful of neatly arranged white teeth: "Although I am lazy, I still don't like to leave important things to others."

The statue did not respond.

However, in the palace far above the peak, someone stood up from the bed.

With hurried footsteps, the palace minister Covens led several eunuchs in and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, are you feeling unwell again? I brought painkillers and tranquilizers."

The emperor on the bed could not see his face through the curtain. He just coughed several times and waved his hand: "It's okay, but there are too many things to do recently, so I can't sleep well."

"Your Majesty, are you worried about the progress of the statue? Otherwise, I will send someone to ask the prince now."

"I am still relieved by Bai Zhan's work, even though... even though this child sometimes has some small thoughts, it's okay. Covens, go down, I will rest."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

When the room became quiet again, the man on the bed raised his chin slightly.

There was a hint of doubt and solemnity in his voice.

"This dream... is really interesting..."

In the dream, he felt that he was falling rapidly, surrounded by broken feathers. He looked up hard, but only saw a weird smile.

"Is this, some kind of reminder..." He slowly turned his head, and there was a potted plant in the corner in front of the bed.

The emperor stretched out his hand and barely touched the potted plant. The leaves were weak and seemed to have not been watered and exposed to the sun for a long time, but they were still a little prickly.

Gently flicking the curled leaves, the emperor's voice gradually became deep and old, but for some reason, his face was covered with the same weird smile as in the dream.

"Mother, it seems that someone... wants to stop me..."

His body was twitching, his arms curled up like a bird retracting its wings, and his head was stiffly tilted to a weird angle.

"Mother, no one can stop me... because no one can stop your child..."

...

"Boss, this is the distribution map of the area. According to your instructions, we just asked a few brothers who were active nearby to observe it intentionally or unintentionally, but they didn't notice anything."

Sean nodded. The observation of the gang members was just a casual instruction, and he didn't expect to find anything.

Unfolding the distribution map, Sean frowned slightly: "Sewer pipes, and connected to the moat? Why didn't I see it on the previous map?"

Black Fox explained: "Because this is an old map, that place is almost outside the city, and there are no living areas or markets nearby."

He stretched out his hand and pointed at the distribution map: "Look here, I heard that there was originally a very, very large pit under the imperial capital, and this pipeline was not dug later, but was slightly modified. The pipeline and the pit were originally there, but I don't know how they came."

"Later, when the imperial capital was built, it was said that the pit at the original site was filled, but it was still Many places were connected to form sewer pipes. Didn't you notice? No matter how heavy the rain was in the capital, there was no flooding. "

"Well, I see." Sean nodded thoughtfully, and then asked, "What about the situation I asked you to investigate in the slums?"

"There are too many people and the place is too big, so we dare not go in and ask openly, but the preliminary situation is indeed very similar to what you said. Some of the residents who disappeared recently are indeed easy to be discussed during this period, mostly for disrespectful issues, so when they disappeared, many people speculated that they were arrested and punished by the authorities.
