Capítulo 1457: Chapter 1147: Unknown Liquid
Seeing Xiao Jie imdiately crouching down, he began carefully inspecting a hollow, unused sewer opening on the ground.
He found a number next to the sewer, XS845211.
This number indicated that this sewer was the 845,211th sewer area in the Radiant City.
After confirming the code was correct, Xiao Jie opened his mouth and extended his right hand into it, forcibly pulling out a large tooth.
He looked at the tooth in his hand, cautiously examining it to ensure it was not damaged.
Xiao Jie took a deep breath, his eyes growing more fervent as he involuntarily subrged into his mories.
Seven days earlier, in a luxurious inner hall.
Kavise had summoned Xiao Jie alone, savoring wine as red as a ruby, looking at Xiao Jie with interest.
“Are you satisfied with the support I’ve given you?”
“Satisfied, very satisfied.”
Xiao Jie nodded heavily, during this ti, all the Demun Empire’s agents sent to monitor him had been infiltrated, providing false information to the Empire every day.
He also received a significant fortune and smoothly joined the Star Ring System, obtaining a captain’s position in the literature departnt.
It was akin to a carp leaping over the dragon gate, achieving a complete turnaround.
“Do you want more?”
Kavise said with a smile.
Xiao Jie wasn’t filled with ecstasy upon hearing this from Kavise; his first reaction was a tremor in his heart.
He respectfully said to Kavise, “Sir, I indeed want more, but I don’t have anything that would interest you.”
Kavise responded with a laugh.
“You only need to do one simple task for , and after it’s done, I’ll give you whatever you want.”
Xiao Jie’s face twitched, and he replied warily.
“Sir, could you tell what the task is?”
“I want you to take this item to the Radiant City and, at the right mont, go to the bottom of Area D3 in Radiant City, find a sewer numbered XS845211, and drop this item inside. It’s a very simple task.”
Kavise then picked up a tiny transparent capsule containing a small drop of wriggling black liquid.
After hearing this, Xiao Jie’s face twitched; he wasn’t a fool and wouldn’t easily trust Kavise’s words.
If it were truly that simple, why would they need him to do it? It was undoubtedly extrely dangerous.
In actuality, Xiao Jie’s instinct was to refuse, but he restrained himself. The other party wasn’t soone to be trifled with and definitely wouldn’t give him a chance to refuse, nor did he have the qualification to refuse.
So Xiao Jie said, “Sir, it’s not that I don’t want to, but I estimate it won’t be that easy to bring the item up, as Star Ring City’s security checks are quite formidable.”
“Rest assured, this capsule is specially designed and is undetectable by any scanning device. Unless seen with the naked eye, no abnormalities can be detected.”
“But even if it can be brought into Radiant City, my skills would make it very difficult to approach the area you ntioned without being noticed nine tis out of ten.”
Xiao Jie said with a strained smile.
Kavise then produced a special cloak.
“This cloak is specially made by the Eternal Sleep Clan. Wearing it allows you to beco invisible and shield all electronic devices. As long as you don’t make any big moves, you won’t be exposed. It’ll guarantee you complete the task easily. I’ll also have soone secretly assist you, so nothing will go wrong.”
Xiao Jie’s expression shifted, and he understood that he had boarded a pirate ship. He had to do the job whether he wanted to or not.
Thinking of this, Xiao Jie then smiled broadly and said to Kavise,
“It’s my honor to serve you, sir.”
“Good….”
Kavise’s smile grew even brighter upon hearing Xiao Jie’s words.
Xiao Jie actually wanted to ask Kavise what on earth was inside that capsule, but he ultimately curbed his curiosity; as the saying goes,
“Knowing too much might cost you your life.”
…
At this mont, Xiao Jie snapped out of his thoughts and carefully peeled back the thin covering on the top of his tooth, retrieving the very small transparent capsule inside.
He looked at the wriggling liquid inside the capsule with so dread.
Although he didn’t know what on earth it was, instinctively it told him this was anything but ordinary danger.
He embedded it in his tooth and really risked his life to bring it in.
These past few days, he had been extrely cautious even when eating.
Just as Xiao Jie was about to take action, he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps.
His heart raced in shock, and he quickly turned his head to look.
Two patrol soldiers ca over imdiately and, upon seeing Xiao Jie, raised their beam guns towards him.
“Who goes there?”
“Hands up!”
Xiao Jie’s face instantly turned ashen, feeling dood as if plunged into an ice cave, shivering violently.
However, at that mont, a pair of purple pupils suddenly appeared behind the two soldiers.
Crack!
A flash of cold light!
The heads of the two soldiers flew off, landing on the ground!
Subsequently, a shadowy figure with purple pupils materialized.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Jie exhaled a long breath, saying, “Thank you, I’m grateful you arrived in ti.”
Unfortunately, that purple-pupiled shadow had no intention of responding to Xiao Jie, instead busying itself with handling the bodies and traces.
Seeing this, Xiao Jie didn’t waste any words and carefully opened the transparent capsule, letting the black wriggling liquid inside drop down.
The tiny bit of black liquid landed on the tal surface at the bottom of the sewer, moving like a living organism before slowly seeping in.
…
In Area A1, Su Mo stood in front of Krisia’s door, pacing for a mont. Checking the ti, only five minutes were left.
It was frustrating that calling and ringing the doorbell elicited no response.
Su Mo sighed.
“Ah, forget it.”
In the end, Su Mo gave up and decided to start his patrol.
As Su Mo was about to leave, Krisia appeared, wearing a white sports T-shirt and earphones, running from a distance. She was slightly out of breath as she spoke.
“Officer? What are you doing here?”
“Wasn’t there an order from above to patrol in the morning? Where have you been?”
Su Mo was slightly taken aback and asked subconsciously.
“I’m sorry, Sir, I went for a morning run, encountered sothing along the way, and lost track of ti.”
Krisia hesitated and explained to Su Mo.
“Forget it, let’s go. The sooner we start, the sooner we finish.”
Su Mo didn’t mind too much.
“Okay, I’ll change clothes and be right out.”
Krisia nodded in agreent.
“Alright!”
…
In Area B5, Su Mo and Krisia stood at the street corner.
Krisia was holding a logbook, recording how many tis patrol teams passed by within an hour and the status of the patrols.
Su Mo glanced at the logbook, noticing Krisia’s handwriting was quite beautiful, and the form was filled out in a very tidy manner.
Though this adjutant was sowhat unreliable, her talent wasn’t in question.
