'Six second-tier Cataclysms...'

Imagining the image of the man in the suit appearing in his true form along with five clones, Qiu Tu suddenly felt that his cataclysmic abilities weren't so strong after all...

Thinking this, Qiu Tu glanced again at the way the man in the suit was referred to in Wang Xi's interrogation record...

'Javi?'

Qiu Tu muttered the name, his gaze somewhat somber...

'So... the man in the suit really is Jia Shu's murderer brother?'

Thinking of this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but recall the information about Jia Wei that he had seen in Jia Shu's file.

According to the records, Jia Shu's younger brother, Jia Wei, was also a student at the shelter [military academy]. Like Jia Shu, his future was limitless.

However, during a field trip, he brutally murdered several public officials in the area to be planned.

Although these public officials were not high-ranking and were not on the shelter's list, Javi was not a big shot either; he was just an ordinary intern. Murder should be punished with death.

Therefore, he was sentenced to death by Yan Chen, the presiding judge in the case, during the first trial.

Later, Jia Shu may have used his connections or bribed Yan Chen. During the second trial, his death sentence was commuted to exile.

So he was expelled from the Eighth Sanctuary...

The case file doesn't contain much information, but it still gives one a vague sense that something is amiss.

However, Qiu Tu was not concerned with the love-hate relationship between the Jia brothers, Jia Shu and Jia Wei, and Yan Chen over the past ten years.

He was concerned about... the current relationship between Jia Shu and Jia Wei.

Judging from the "crisis sense" indicator, the two clearly belong to two different factions, and their mutual hostility outweighs their cooperation.

Why did Jia Shu and Jia Wei attack him together?

Why was Jia Shu so interested in himself?

Chapter 176 The Truth Behind the Attack (1.1 words, please subscribe!)

Thinking this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but look through Wang Xi and Jia Wei's interrogation records again.

Unfortunately, there are no records related to Jia Shu in it.

Qiu Tu tossed the notes onto the table, put his hands behind his head, leaned back in his chair, and quietly pondered where else he could get clues...

As Qiu Tu was thinking, his eyes suddenly lit up!

He remembered that he had once placed a Silver Key Bee on the man in the suit, Javi!

After tracking Javi's movements for 36 hours, the silver-key bee returned to his side early yesterday morning and flew back to the hive.

Qiu Tu was probably asleep at the time and didn't notice its return, so he forgot about it.

Is now the perfect time to take a look?

Perhaps we can find some clues in those 36 hours?

Thinking this, Qiu Tu quickly took out a thumb-sized [Silver Key Beehive] from his pocket.

Sure enough, four snow-white, slender silver key bees lay quietly in the silver key bee hive, along with one... a bloated silver key bee whose entire body had turned black and was lifeless.

Qiu Tu picked up the black silver key bee and crushed it with practiced ease.

The next second, a scene flashed through Qiu Tu's mind like a movie. The scene recorded everything that happened in the 36 hours after the man in the suit, Jia Wei, left Qiu Tu.

Qiu Tu had used the Silver Key Bee before, so he skillfully began to speed up the images, searching for clues containing information.

Soon, his camera focused on a scene where Javi was performing a strange ritual in the villa late at night.

In the picture, Javier is holding an old, worn-out coin.

He rubbed the front of the coin three times with his thumb, then the back four times, and finally placed the coin respectfully on the table.

The next second, the ancient coin slowly vaporized, floating in the air and forming a human head...

The head looked to be only a teenager, with an oval face, almond-shaped eyes, and exceptionally beautiful—it was none other than... Lariluo, the evil goddess girl Qiu Tu had seen in his dream...

At this moment, upon establishing a remote communication with Larilu, Javi immediately knelt down and said with great piety and respect, "My God, I have met with Qiu Tu as you commanded."

"You know what, with his carefree and unrestrained manner, he actually has the potential to become one of us."

Upon hearing Javi's words, Larilu chuckled softly. Her voice was gentle and alluring, like a songstress softly singing, "You left my mark on him?"

Javier replied respectfully, "Yes. It's already been done."

"Moreover... I also reserved the most successful work from your batch, Mrs. Kong, for him."

"I believe that once he experiences it for himself, he will understand that only the joy of procreation is true bliss!"

After saying that, he saw La Riluo nod charmingly. Javi then asked cautiously, "But, my god, I still don't quite understand why such an important task was given to Qiu Tu, a mere section chief."

"With so many clones, I could easily kill my brother. Why go through all that trouble?"

Hearing Javier's words, Larilu gave a charming chuckle. She looked down at Javier and said, "Javier, do you really think you can kill your brother?"

"Let's not even talk about how much security he has around him as a high-ranking member of the investigation department."

"Just talk about his own abilities..."

She said in a light tone, "You and he share the same parents and are closely related by blood. Your catastrophic abilities also come from the same source."

"Your ability is to devour and split, while his ability is to devour and condense..."

"Although his abilities are far more limited than yours, requiring certain conditions to be met before he can devour others, ... over the years, he has still consumed countless Cataclysms. His strength has increased by leaps and bounds."

"If I'm not mistaken, he should be around the peak of the second tier right now, only one step away from becoming a third-tier Cataclysm..."

"Peak of the second tier?!" At that moment, Jia Wei's pupils visibly contracted slightly.

He lowered his head, his face revealing suppressed hatred. "I never expected him to improve so quickly!"

"I really underestimated him!"

Seeing that Javi was starting to lose control again, Larilu shook her head slightly and then said softly, "Calm down!"

With that soft shout, it was as if a "reset button" had been pressed for Javier, and his emotions actually calmed down quickly.

He looked at Lariro apologetically, "My God, I lost my composure."

Larilu chuckled a few times, saying nonchalantly, "Your brother is your Achilles' heel. You must overcome this tribulation to achieve inner peace..."

"It's not your fault."

"But precisely because he is your biggest worry, this time, I hope you can use yourself as bait to lure your brother out."

"Trick them out?" Javi was a little confused.

Larilu narrowed her almond-shaped eyes, which were full of cunning. "Tonight, use your true form to go find your brother and meet with him. Ask for his help."

"Just tell him that Qiu Tu has his eye on you, and you hope he can help you resolve this matter so that Qiu Tu will stop investigating you."

"Given his cold-blooded nature, of course he won't help you."

"But it's okay. When the time comes, you can use what happened back then as leverage. Tell him that if he doesn't help you, you'll reveal the truth about that case to the public."

"The parents of the victim in that case are still alive and active in the political arena of the planned area."

"He wouldn't want to offend that important person at a time like this. So, to avoid trouble, he'll most likely agree to your request on the surface."

"At this point, you can reveal your real plan. Tell him you don't want to live in constant fear, you want to eliminate the root of the problem and kill Qiu Tu directly..."

At this point, Larilu revealed an evil smile, "Qiu Tu should be the key to his advancement to a third-tier Cataclysm."

"It is the fruit of his hard work."

"But... Qiu Tu has already become a section chief, and he will be added to the shelter's list in two days."

"If he can't devour Qiu Tu before then, things will get even more difficult in the future."

"Believe me, right now he wants to kill Qiu Tu more than anyone else."

"So... once he discovers that you can be a very useful tool to cover up his actions, he will definitely be tempted and agree to your invitation to cooperate..."

"And then, he will fall completely into Qiu Tu's trap..."

Upon hearing Lariro's words, Javi's expression gradually changed from pain to surprise, and his eyes slowly turned crimson!

He murmured, "Just like... how he used me back then, to make him realize I still have value to him?"

"Given his past experience, he must have assumed I would still be manipulated by him and become his scapegoat..."

"Therefore... his arrogance will lead him into a real trap!"

Hearing Javier's analysis, Larilu nodded with a light laugh, "Yes..."

She said, "In this way, we can both get rid of him and remove your inner demons, and also kick away a stumbling block."

“He’s been investigating us quite a bit over the past two months.”

"A while ago, after discovering the connection between the Qin family, Vice Speaker Tian, ​​and me, he deliberately... used his unusual behavior as bait to attract the attention of Yan Chen and Qiu Tu, guiding them to delve deeper into this case!"

"Therefore, getting rid of him will make our plan go much more smoothly!"

Upon hearing this, Jia Wei also revealed an expression of anger that reflected his own feelings.

However, the expression on his face vanished after a few seconds. He tentatively asked, "But...my god, can Qiu Tu really deal with my brother?"

"He's just a lowly Tier 1 Cataclysm, and only a section chief..."

Upon hearing Jia Shu's words, La Riluo giggled. A bewitching smile appeared on her face. "If you really think he's just a Tier 1 Cataclysm or an ordinary section chief..."

"Then you're going to make a mistake too easily..."

"This person is no ordinary person; you have no idea what he's been doing behind the scenes..."

"If Jia Shu underestimates his opponent even slightly, he might not be a match for him..."

At this point, Larilu paused for a moment, then continued,

"Besides, it wasn't just your brother who ruined my plans, there was him too. Now let them fight like dogs, I'll be happy no matter who kills the other one..."

"At worst, we can take the other one later..."

"Giggle..."

After watching the long-distance call between Jiawei and La Riluo, Qiu Tu continued to fast forward, checking for any other important information.

However, after quickly reviewing the entire record, there was no other noteworthy information.

Thinking this, Qiu Tu canceled the images in his mind and began to ponder the information he had obtained from the Silver Key Bee.

This intelligence is extremely crucial; it could even resolve most of his doubts.

For example, Larilu and Javi clearly know her, so why did she let Javi meet her that day, deliberately falling for her trick?

Clearly, this was Larilu's scheme. She deliberately wanted to "meet" him in this way, giving him false information and true intelligence in order to achieve her plan of using one wolf to devour another.

For example, why did Jia Shu always treat me strangely and look at me oddly?

So... I was chosen by Jia Shu as "food"?

Once certain conditions are met, it will become "food" for Jia Shu's advancement. At that time, as long as it devours itself, Jia Shu's strength will become even greater!

That's why Jia Shu deliberately cultivated him and tolerated his many outrageous actions.

And it's possible that once a goal is chosen, it cannot be changed, or it's difficult to find a goal similar to one's own.

Furthermore... Jia Shu only needs to "devour" himself to advance to a third-tier Cataclysmic Being...

That's why he wanted to devour himself before he was even added to the shelter's roster!

For example... La Riluo's mole in the Investigation Bureau was indeed not Jia Shu.

Judging from her conversation with Jia Wei, she truly understands herself, Jia Shu, and the entire Investigation Bureau.

However, this conversation also reveals that her relationship with Jia Shu was not harmonious; the two were adversaries.

Therefore... she must have other sources or channels of information. And this person must be lurking among the high-ranking officials of the Investigation Bureau.

To be honest, compared to the destructive power of humans planting spies among themselves, the high-ranking "traitors" recruited by evil gods are far more terrifying.
