Chapter 270 Yes, I am a Spy (5000, Seeking Monthly Tickets~)

The failure of the Void Transaction Ritual in Shan State was the most serious loss the Holy Serpent Litanies had suffered in the last hundred years.

A group of members from all over the world, the most loyal to the organization, the strongest, and with the highest operational capabilities, all died for unknown reasons.

Because of that operation, the heads of the Litanies' Zhugu, Shan State, and Zheng Country branches all died, causing the Litanies' forces in the above areas to fall into chaos, and even collapse overnight.

But more importantly, the previous generation 'Leader' from the Bedouin region of Central Asia, whose real name was unknown, died, and all secret communication channels were cut off, so that the Litanies' power in the World Island completely collapsed, and the forces in various places could only fight on their own, or even hide completely.

It was precisely because of this that the young man, a former high-level member of the American Federation branch, was able to successfully take over as the new Leader by virtue of his strength, skills, and already existing status.

According to past practice, he would abandon the name Krosel and only use the title of Leader, but since the old batch of Litanies members were all dead, it meant that no one cared about the old rules, and Krosel was too lazy to follow them.

"The number of members in the American Federation area is second only to World Island, but most of the remaining members of this branch support 'isolationism', only wanting the organization to continue to erode the high-level of the American Federation, and form a secret authority and money alliance to maintain mutual interests—this essentially greatly weakens the identity of the Litanies as a mysterious organization, and is just a deeper hidden collection of capital."

The young man with golden hair picked up the photo on the table. He stared at Su Zhou's photo circulating outside, which everyone jokingly called 'Sea King', surrounded by many sea snakes and sea fish, his expression thoughtful.

A secret capital collection is not bad. The Holy Serpent Litanies can serve as a notary in the extraordinary aspects, ensuring that members have no worries when cooperating. In this way, their evil sect organization can gradually be whitewashed, turning from the dark to the light, and the offering money and保证金 (bao zheng jin - deposit) paid by the members are enough to maintain the organization's development.

But Krosel found it boring—secret capital alliances, there are countless in this world, but there are only two mysterious organizations of this scale in the whole world!

The reason why he chose to join the Litanies in the first place wasn't because it was so cool?

As for the Demonic Descent Society, the style is too low. They are both playing with blood sacrifices, but the Litanies are very secretive and don't let others know. The Demonic Descent Society has to make it known to the world. Sometimes, even when the Litanies' sacrificial site is discovered, the Demonic Descent Society has to jump out and say that they did it.

Too low, no way, that organization. That's what Krosel thought at the time.

Who knew that less than ten years after joining the organization, all the old people above were dead. Although he was young, because of his talent and the power of his family behind him, he became a divisional cadre early on. Just as the position of Leader was passed down, he became the organization's Leader inexplicably.

Krosel appeared to be strategizing, with everything under control, but to be honest, no one can not be dazed for a while in this situation—I just went to a classmate reunion, and the upper echelons of the mysterious organization I participated in were all wiped out, and I became the organization leader?

Was it so ordained?

"I can't forget my original intention—is a Litanies that does not trade with great beings still a Litanies? But blood sacrifices..."

Thinking of this, Krosel couldn't help but ponder for a moment—he was naturally not a kind person. If a blood sacrifice was needed, he would do it without hesitation, but it seems that the organization's every blood sacrifice doesn't end well. He felt that this path was a bit blocked: "The easiest and lowest way to please a great being is to sacrifice souls with blood."

"Overthrowing the original order, this ritual is the Holy Serpent's favorite sacrifice."

"The multinational joint operation in the Beast God Realm will inevitably overthrow the original order of the Beast God Realm in the future, and the organization's lurking members entering it can also be regarded as 'our Litanies' participating in this action to subvert the order... Taking this as a sacrifice, maybe we can once again obtain some extraordinary inheritance or power—it's a pity, the last time in the prophecy, the one-in-a-thousand-year sacrifice where the great being was the most generous failed, otherwise, this kind of ritual could at least obtain a trace of 'Undying Blood' again."

And speaking of Undying Blood, one has to mention Su Zhou. Krosel's slender fingers crossed and remained still, but his hair moved nimbly like little snakes, taking out reports, records, and analyses from his arms, allowing him to browse through them again.

"Su Zhou... the most powerful extraordinary being in Zheng Country, and even the most powerful in the world." Staring at the information above, he couldn't help but mutter to himself: "Possesses powerful Dragon Blood, but to this day, no one knows what kind of Dragon it is—his power and talent far exceed common sense, and it is not an exaggeration to describe him as a monster."

"Coincidentally, he was traveling in Shan State when the organization's ritual failed, and he might even be one of the dozens of surviving ritual sacrifices."

At this time, the middle-aged man who had been serving beside Krosel had already retreated, and the golden-haired young man took out his mobile phone. He logged into Weibo, frowned, and clicked on Su Zhou's Weibo account: "How can things be so coincidental?"

"Perhaps, the organization's ritual did not fail, but was just intercepted by someone, or rather, an accident occurred during the ritual, and everyone in the organization died, but the Undying Blood that was traded was accidentally obtained by a survivor."

"Isn't the powerful but unprototyped Dragon Snake Blood the Undying Perfect Blood, the Original Dragon Snake Body from the Holy Serpent Spirit? All of Su Zhou's conditions are met, and he may be the lucky one who accidentally obtained the Holy Serpent Spirit's gift."

This is the most likely scenario.

Although it may not be luck, after all, judging from the style of Su Zhou's subsequent actions, it might be him who disrupted the ritual and forcibly snatched the Undying Blood from the organization—Krosel attaches the greatest importance to Su Zhou, and no matter how unbelievable the possibility, he believes that Su Zhou can do it.

Be an enemy of Su Zhou? It's meaningless, why be an enemy of a strong person with whom there is currently no conflict of interest.

What Krosel wants is just a part of Su Zhou's body tissue, just a little blood.

"This time in the Beast God Realm, there will inevitably be a battle segment, and Su Zhou, as the strongest, will definitely face the high-end combat power of the Beast God Realm—no matter how strong he is, he won't be able to avoid getting hurt at all, and the organization's secret agents carry special storage equipment, which can completely take advantage of the chaos to obtain a little flesh and blood tissue. At that time, we can analyze the remaining bloodline and determine whether it is Undying Blood."

If not, it doesn't matter. There are many things that the blood of the strongest person on Earth can do, and the American Federation government would be willing to exchange it at a great price.

If it is, isn't that great? As the Litanies who hold the Holy Serpent Litanies, this great prayer, they are experts in related matters, and it is easy to analyze the hidden powers and abilities from it—at that time, all the extraordinary people in the entire organization may be able to advance because of this!

It can be seen that Krosel's Weibo account name is [Su Zhou Support Group 014].

This is not strange. It is the right behavior to infiltrate the internal group as a fan and grasp first-hand information—he is even one of the administrators of the official fan main group, and has built a good relationship with the group owner [I Understand Everything!], at least he has become familiar with him.

It is said that the group owner is also Su Zhou's friend in reality. In the future, if he has the opportunity, he may be able to secretly approach Su Zhou in reality in the name of offline gatherings and integrate into his circle of friends.

"But that risk is too great. Secret methods to see through people's spirits are not rare in this world. With the difference between Su Zhou's and my great realm, the risk and return are not proportional."

Krosel went online and chatted in the group for a while—of course, this was to ensure his activity in the fan group, and because the matter was confidential, he couldn't let others act on his behalf. The golden-haired young man's eyes were cold and wise: "However, I can hire other people as my offline identity to attend offline gatherings and look for opportunities."

Krosel's plan can be said to be seamless. He did not show any hostility, so there is no question of conflict. He has no malice towards Su Zhou now, so even if it is a mystical method or the way of sincerity, it is impossible to foresee it for no reason.

If possible, it would be the best result to bring Su Zhou, who may possess Undying Blood, into the Litanies—in the face of powerful forces, any organization's idea will never be to eliminate it, but to try to incorporate it into its own system.

"Almost time to contact the secret agent."

Thinking like this, on the luxurious throne made of silver, environment, and gems, the golden-haired young man closed his eyes and began to contact the Litanies' secret agent on the distant other side.

[Serpent Possession Technique]

The secret technique that Krosel cultivates is the power from the ancient Mycenaean region, derived from the Gorgon-Gaia lineage, derived from the power of the Earth Dragon Serpent, just like in myths and legends, his hair can turn into snakes, and his gaze can make people's bodies stiff, or even petrified.

However, the power of the Gorgon lineage reaches the limit at the early stage of overlord. If you want to continue to deduce upwards, you will definitely reach the realm of the former Earth God, Mother Gaia, but that is at least the power of the Great Lord God, in other words, at least the power of the Creator's First Order.

The span is too great. From the peak of the Leader to the early stage of the Overlord, directly across to the Creator, Krosel does not think that he is an unprecedented genius who can comprehend the cultivation method across nearly two great realms. Therefore, he can only choose to switch to the Quetzalcoatl Kukulkan system in the ancient American mythical legends midway.

It is precisely because of this that, influenced by the power of the bloodline, Krosel is not as interested in flesh and blood sacrifices as the previous Leader.

But even so, Krosel can still use some of the secret methods derived from Gorgon—using the little snakes transformed from his hair to attach to other people's bodies, and cast the Serpent Possession Technique. In this way, he can share the same perspective with the possessed being, or even communicate with and influence part of the possessed person's behavior.

It is precisely because of this that he is not worried that the secret agent will be greedy for a while, and refuse to hand over Su Zhou's flesh and blood tissue after obtaining it, and instead use it for research.

"Let me see, how is the situation now."

Smiling confidently, Krosel activated the secret method, and his spirit crossed a long distance, directly connecting with the 'secret agent'.

Then, his smile froze: "What's going on?"

Because, when Krosel synchronized the secret agent's vision, he saw a face.

He saw a rather serious face of a young man.

This face was very close, less than a meter away, it could even be said to be close to the body. If it were between extraordinary people, being approached to this distance, even a great archmage who speaks and follows the law could not say even half a word.

But compared to this dangerous distance, what was even more terrifying was the other party's identity.

A head of somewhat messy black hair, tied behind him with a messy technique, that delicate and clean, seemingly sunny and clean face could give people a good first impression. Krosel was incredibly familiar with this rather approachable face.

It's Su Zhou.

This is Su Zhou's face.

He was in front of the secret agent.

"This friend from the Americas, you have a lot of curses on you."

At this time, Su Zhou was talking to the secret agent, and he was speaking in Chinese, completely ignoring whether the other party could understand it.

The young man stretched out a hand and placed it on the secret agent's shoulder. Although it seemed gentle, the power that could shatter steel like water was condensed in these five fingers. Krosel could feel that the secret agent was stiff all over at this time, not daring to move, let alone resist or refute.

"This is not just a measurement that can be accumulated by being hated and cursed by criminals. You have definitely killed innocent people, and more than one. Well, this smell, and the wailing, is the smell of blood, I heard the painful screams."

"It's actually still abuse? Hey, Mr. Estner, what's wrong with your American Federation, how can you even let a perverted murderer in, and let him join the action team?"

Su Zhou's voice was very soft, and his voice was also very pleasant. Listening to this kind of voice, even if he was scolding someone, it was a different kind of enjoyment, and the sense of puzzled doubt in Su Zhou's tone could be clearly heard by anyone, and they felt the same way.

But Krosel could hear an incomparably deep demonic nature and malice like fire from this seemingly sunny and cheerful tone.

That was the sound of swallowing in the throat, the tide of appetite and hostility rising together, the gaze of a snake staring at a frog, a feeling that was more terrifying and desperate than encountering a natural enemy.

It was as if a monstrously evil monster whose true form could not be seen at all was lurking beneath that beautiful boy's appearance.

And he was staring at the essence behind the secret agent's body, the thing called the soul.

—Death—murderous intent—will be eaten—why is he here!

Krosel is, in the end, a genius. He can be in charge of the Litanies at the age of twenty-something, serve as the new leader, and no one has any objections. Naturally, he has his strength. Faced with Su Zhou's soul pressure, he only panicked for a moment before making the most correct choice.

—Clatter.

He completely cut off the Serpent Possession Technique.

And on top of the secret agent's head, who had fallen into despair, two inconspicuous strands of hair immediately broke and turned gray.

"Huh? Strange."

At this moment, Kunlun Secret Realm.

Su Zhou, who was formally meeting and communicating with the action teams of other countries before the Beast God Realm mission, released his hand that was holding the shoulder of Andreis, an American action team member.

He muttered to himself in some bewilderment: "This guy originally gave me a very important feeling, but I don't know why, he suddenly became a little ordinary."

It was not until this time that the members of the action teams from various countries, including Zheng Country, reacted to Su Zhou's actions just now.

At the beginning of the exchange, Su Zhou, who should have spoken after Dao Sheng, suddenly stepped forward and came to the American action team. He directly took action and restrained the action team member named Andreis, and then began the above inquiries.

"Andreis? Abuse? Perverted murderer?"

The tall man known as 'Rock Tower' repeated Su Zhou's words. He frowned, glanced at Dao Sheng, then glanced at Su Zhou, and finally looked at Andreis, who was kneeling on the ground. The American action team leader let out a breath. He didn't say much, but said solemnly: "Andreis, speak, refute, otherwise, it's acquiescence."

His words were concise and powerful. When he spoke, he brought up ripples of spiritual power around him.

And Andreis, who had not yet recovered from the instinctive pressure brought by the Devouring Demon Lord, was unable to refute at this time... Whether he was lying or not, at this time, without any preparation, who present couldn't see it?

Zheng Country opened the Kunlun Secret Realm, this secret inheritance place, to the action teams of various countries—this was for the safety of mankind.

And for the same sake of human safety, even the American Federation could not make a short-sighted behavior and allow dangerous elements to mix into the team entering the Beast God Realm—theoretically, even if Andreis was really a murderer, it would not be Su Zhou's turn to point it out. Not to mention that there was no evidence, even if there was evidence, the laws of the American Federation would naturally punish him.

But the current situation is special.

And the user of the Holy Light, Rock Tower Estner, is also a person who hates evil.

So he whispered: "Tell the truth, Andreis—either prove your innocence, or wait to go to the Extraordinary Tribunal. Otherwise, just wait to die here."

This was the last bit of face—Andreis was, after all, a senior agent who had made contributions to the peace of the official and society in the Foundation. He had saved many people, made many contributions, and had gained everyone's trust in countless tests.

It was precisely because of this that he was allowed to join the action team.

And Andreis was well aware of this.

So, under Su Zhou's calm gaze, under the shocked and suspicious gazes of everyone around him, he raised his hand, held it over his head, and slowly leaned his body forward, sticking to the ground, making the most standard surrender posture of the American Federation.

Bowing to the ground, Andreis said with a wry smile: "Yes, that's right... I am a spy."

1 Quetzalcoatl is a rare benevolent god in American primitive mythology. He hates live sacrifices and is a rare primitive god in all primitive god beliefs who does not require blood sacrifices.

That should be all for today... Normal updates will resume tomorrow.
