Chapter 204 Soul-Collecting Treasure Box

Chu Xiu was stunned by the words of the information body.

His information body had contact with very few people in Yuan City. He didn't expect that his identity information would be exposed so quickly, and he didn't know how Shanwailou learned about it.

"Did Song Linchuan reveal it? It's possible, but more likely, it may come from within the investigation bureau."

"No matter which one, it shows the terrifying ability of Shanwailou to obtain intelligence. The number one darknet organization all over the world really deserves its reputation."

Chu Xiu thought to himself, then nodded readily and admitted it.

Seeing that he was indeed the King of the Dark Night, the information body suddenly became respectful: "Our senior cadre wants to meet you. I wonder if you are free at this time?"

After the words fell, Chu Xiu couldn't help showing a surprised look.

The senior cadres at Shanwailou want to see me?

Chu Xiu had briefly understood the structure of Shanwai Tower before.

From low to high, there are three levels of killers: bronze, silver, and gold, and those above are cadres.

Cadres are divided into four levels: Heaven, Earth, Xuanhuang, and those who reach Heaven and Earth Level 2 are senior cadres.

You know, Wang-level Wen Feiyan only has a Xuan-level Shanwai Tower token, so wouldn’t a senior cadre

[Heroic Spirit]!

What business could a person of this status have with him?

Could it be because of Wen Feiyan's death?

Seeing that Chu Xiu's expression became a little serious, the information body quickly said: "Our current directors and cadres have learned that the killer in our building has caused you some trouble and want to apologize to you personally."

After finishing speaking, seeing Chu Xiu seeming a little confused, the information body smiled and added: "I'm not afraid of your ridicule. Although our Shanwai Building is a killer organization, we believe in harmony and wealth."

Hearing this, Chu Xiu did not refuse, but followed the information body and walked upstairs.

There is not much difference between the upper floor and the first floor of Shanwai Building. In fact, in Yuan City, all luxurious decorations have lost their meaning. Anyway, everything is just a stream of data gathered together.

When the essence of everything can be seen at a glance, the beauty of things will disappear.

"This is such a dead world."

Chu Xiu couldn't help but sigh again. He only stayed in Abyss City for a while before feeling suffocated. This was probably what the world would look like after being swallowed by the abyss.

Shaking his head and putting away his pretentiousness, Chu Xiu quickly followed the information body to the top floor of Shanwai Building.

The information body took Chu Xiu to the innermost room, a spacious room.

At this time, there was a huge human-shaped tiger sitting in the innermost part.

His body was covered with data diversion tubes, and Chu Xiu could see massive amounts of data intersecting in his body.

"Sir, the King of Dark Night has arrived." The information body beside Chu Xiu saluted respectfully.

As the words fell, the burly humanoid tiger raised his head and looked at Chu Xiu.

"Hello, let me introduce myself. I am the chief cadre of Shanwai Building this year, 'Sheti'."

Chu Xiu nodded: "My name is Chen Ce."

He has heard of the name Sheti, which is a word representing the zodiac sign "Tiger" in an ancient chronology.

It fits the characteristics of the creature in front of me.

However, in Yuan City, the user can freely fabricate his or her appearance, but there is no way to guess what the user looks like.

"It turns out to be Mr. Chen," Sheti said, his voice strong and polite at the same time, "I invite you here because I want to apologize on behalf of Shanwai Building for the inconvenience caused to you by the cadres in our building."

"This is a little thought, please accept it."

As he spoke, he pushed a small crystal forward and handed it to Chu Xiu.

Chu Xiu could clearly feel that after the crystal was handed over, the eyes of the information body standing next to him suddenly opened wide, filled with envy and greed, but it seemed that in order to avoid losing his temper, he quickly lowered his eyes. Eyelids, lowered his head and exited the room, closing the door at the same time.

"Bang."

With a soft sound, Chu Xiu and Sheti were the only two people left in the room.

"What is this?" Chu Xiu glanced at the crystal and asked.

"This is the only common currency in Yuan City." Sheti said with a smile.

Chu Xiu glanced down and said calmly: "Currency needs an anchor."

Yuancheng put it bluntly, it was actually just a large anonymous dating platform that could not involve any material exchange. In this case, it was difficult to assign a currency meaning.

"Yes," Sheti nodded, "In Yuan City, only information can circulate, so any commission or transaction must be done in the real world."

"And how to ensure the authenticity and reliability of transactions?"

Sheti smiled and tapped the table with his index finger: "That's our job at Shanwailou."

"In Yuancheng, 85% of transactions and commissions are completed through our Shanwai Building. This is the achievement and reputation achieved by this building in its long-term operation."

"After gaining everyone's trust, we can provide further high-end services."

"The thing in front of you is the 'Yuan Coin' issued by us. It can be exchanged for Huaxia Coins simply and crudely at any offline stronghold in Shanwailou. One Yuan Coin is worth one million Huaxia Coins."

"But we don't recommend that you do this. It has more and wider uses, such as purchasing information, issuing commissions, etc. There are also many special services that can only be purchased with Yuan coins."

"And what is in front of you is a total of ten thousand Yuan coins."

Ten thousand Yuan coins is ten billion!

Moreover, if what Sheti said is true, its real value is probably much higher than tens of billions of Chinese coins!

Chu Xiu's eyes narrowed slightly, but he was not polite. He raised his hand and took the crystal to his eyes for a closer look. He then put it back on the table and said calmly: "I accept your kindness, but Gui Lou Paying such a high price must be more than just an apology.”

Although due to the development of a large number of abyssal worlds, a large amount of high-value items have poured in, making the amount of currency issued in this world more than a hundred times that of the previous world, and it is highly concentrated in the hands of the top.

This has resulted in little change in the lives and wealth of common people, but the number of rich people has increased dozens or hundreds of times compared to previous lives.

Those [heroic spirits] awakened even control trillions of wealth per capita!

But even so, 10 billion Huaxia coins is still a huge number.

Even those who have awakened at the king level will be moved by this!

Chu Xiu didn't believe that the other party paid such a high price and sent a senior executive to apologize in person just because he was afraid of his talent.

Although the information body just said that "harmony brings wealth", Chu Xiu is not a fool. Naturally, it is very clear that the essence of Shanwailou is a violent organization parasitic in the dark web!

With so many killers and high-level awakened beings at his command, how could it be that the White Lotus is harmless to humans and animals?

Faced with Chu Xiu's doubts, Sheti was calm and said bluntly: "If it was just because of the attack and killing by our cadres, then naturally we wouldn't care so much. After all, the rules of Shanwai Tower are clearly written. We just This intermediate platform, unless it is directly entrusted by Shanwai Tower, is the source of the blame. In the past few decades, no one has been stupid enough to express his anger at us. "

"And I also believe that Mr. Chen, you are not such a fool."

"But your situation is indeed a bit special. Part of this Wanyuan Coin is to redeem Wen Feiyan's Shanwailou token, and the other part is because the awakened person named 'Li Zhan', then... A special commission was given.”

"You should have seen an item called [Soul-Napping Box] in his storage space, right?"

Sheti's words made Chu Xiu look thoughtful.

He did notice this special item at that time, but because the decisive battle with Disaster was about to begin, he didn't have time to look at it carefully.

Chu Xiu's body in Blue Star immediately took out this item with a thought.

This object, like the Shanwai Tower Token, is subject to special restrictions and cannot easily read the item information.

After using the Blood-Burning Golden Eyes to investigate, the information about the item slowly appeared.

[Soul Treasure Box (Legend of the King)]

[Effect: It can hold a soul temporarily. When the soul is stored in the treasure box, its plasticity is greatly improved. 】

[Current status: Full. 】

"This is."

A solemn look appeared on Chu Xiu's face.

"This is a common prop used to 'seize someone's body.'" Sheti's words were astonishing.

Even Chu Xiu, who had always been calm and composed, was startled.

"Seize the body?"

"That's right," Sheti said frankly: "I won't hide it from you. There is always a commission with a very high reward hanging in our mountain outside the building, which is to find a suitable container for 'seizing the body'."

“The term ‘body seizing’ is commonly used in fairy novels, which is a special method of transferring someone’s soul into the body of another person to occupy their body.”

"In recent years, as the exploration of the abyss deepens, we have also discovered many small worlds related to immortality. The various magical methods in ancient myths may not be just legends."

"This [Soul-holding Treasure Box] is a special prop we found in a sect called 'Yanshen Sect'. It can have an effect similar to 'seizing a body'."

"Of course, there is still a certain gap between it and the 'seizing the body' in myths and legends, and there are quite a few side effects and limitations."

"First of all, naturally, after taking the body, whether it is talent, profession or level, there will be a sharp drop, with a guaranteed drop of one level. If the soul compatibility is poor, it is not surprising to drop three levels at once."

"Secondly, if you want to fuse, you need to obtain the blood of the body that has been taken away, and inject it into the treasure box to reshape the soul of the original owner so that it fits the body of the person who has been taken away. This process is extremely painful."

"Finally, the strength of the soul held by the soul-containing treasure box is limited, and the maximum cannot exceed the king level."

"But even so, it is extremely rare. Currently, we have discovered seventeen small worlds of cultivating immortals, but only three treasure boxes have been found. The value can no longer be measured in money."

"I might as well tell you that the reward for this commission alone is three king-level [legends]!"

Three pieces of King Rank [Legend]!

Sheti's words made Chu Xiu take a breath.

I have to say that such a generous reward even made him excited! He even had the urge to hand himself over!

But soon, he calmed down and figured out everything!

It turned out that Li Zhan's real purpose was not just to deprive him of his talent and career, but to completely dedicate his entire body to a certain soul!

At the same time, he also understood many details that were confusing before.

For example, when he first entered the world of zombies, a Ji Dao who mastered the magical power of shadow came to sneak attack him. Now that he thought about it, his purpose was to obtain his blood essence!

He later died tragically in an underground passage. Most likely, he was brutally silenced after completing his mission.

But after figuring out these details, instead of letting Chu Xiu relax, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter, and a deep uneasiness surged in his heart.

This attack was jointly planned by Li Zhan, Wen Feiyan and Disaster.

In other words, the person behind the attack on him must have the ability to unify Shanwailou and the Yakuza!

Moreover, you can even directly take out three [King Rank] legends as rewards!

It can be said that a person with this method is 100% capable of directly mobilizing a heroic spirit to kill him, if not to avoid attracting attention!

In fact, the original staffing was luxurious enough. Wen Feiyan was good at sneak attacks and restrained Qin Xiang, a top-level king, with one move. After receiving the blessing of the Jida, Li Zhan also had a number of people close to the top-level king. He has a high level of combat effectiveness, and is thoughtful and ruthless. This is much more important than combat effectiveness.

If Chu Xiu's strength hadn't exceeded common sense at all, it could be said that he would have been killed without the slightest resistance! Next, Qin Xiang will not be able to escape the siege of the other three, and will definitely die in a nuclear explosion.

Then this plan will form a perfect closed loop. After seizing Chu Xiu, the mastermind behind the scenes can change his appearance at will and appear in the public eye with a brand new identity!

This made Chu Xiu feel a chill down his back, and a strong sense of crisis arose in his heart.

Seeing his expression, Sheti also knew that Chu Xiu was aware of the seriousness of the matter, and said leisurely: "This Wanyuan coin is the compensation for isolating this matter from our Shanwai Tower."

"Whether you destroy the treasure box yourself, hand it over to the state, or want to find the person behind it independently, it has nothing to do with our Shanwai Tower."

Hearing this, Chu Xiu smiled bitterly, and he understood why the other party gave such a high compensation.

For an institution like Shanwailou, which exists in the shadows, to develop to its current scale, it must be possible without the tacit approval of several heavenly kings.

But this acquiescence, for example, is conditional.

If Chu Xiu guessed correctly, one of them was that he was not allowed to issue any commissions that were detrimental to national public officials.

But now, Shanwailou is openly attacking Qin Xiang. If the mission is successful, they can naturally escape unscathed. But now, they must find a way to make up for it. It is not just a simple "This is Wen Feiyan's private behavior." It has nothing to do with our Shanwai Building" and can be easily picked.

Otherwise, if the killing king who is in charge of the army and has the most murderous intention is angered, no matter how powerful Shanwailou is, it will be destroyed in an instant, and senior cadres like them will become the rats on the street that everyone wants to beat.

Chu Xiu said no more, just reached out and picked up the crystal. Suddenly, a flow of information poured into his body.

Upon seeing this, Sheti breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you, Mr. Chen, for your understanding. This is our stronghold near Jiangcheng. You can place the token of the traitor in our building wherever you like."

Chu Xiu agreed and immediately walked out.

At this time, Sheti's voice sounded again: "By the way, Mr. Chu, there is one thing we must tell you. The soul is extremely fragile. The soul-sucking box can only be used once."

Hearing this, Chu Xiu paused and sighed in his heart.

This means that the big man's target for seizing the body has been locked on himself.

"People who can mobilize such huge resources will never give up easily!"

"This trouble really comes in waves."

Fortunately, thanks to Chu Xiu's usual caution, his identity is well hidden and should not be exposed in a short period of time. Moreover, since he is not aware of his movements, it is extremely difficult to ambush him in the world of zombies.

What's more, as long as he doesn't sell anchor points, the next anchor spot will not be released until four or five months later, giving him enough time to develop.

But even so, Chu Xiu did not take it lightly.

After thinking for a moment, he entered the bloody arena without stopping after exiting Yuan City.

It’s time to redeem the points accumulated in the past for some blessings in advance.
