I'm a villain, not a devil

Bai Zhan’s manor in the imperial capital covers a large area. If you walk around the outer wall, you can occasionally hear the calls of some animals inside. It seems that many species are raised there.

Mio Shisan still didn't quite understand Sean's intention, and asked in the headset: "Why did you come to Bai Zhan's manor? Isn't it said that Bai Zhan has almost no fixed residence and spends most of his time in the military?"

Sean said lazily: "Who said I want to arrest Bai Zhan? He is the eldest prince. The emperor will feel something if he is killed. There is no way to do it directly."

"Then why are you here? For Bai Zhan, this is just a place to live. There won't be many useful things here, right?"

As he spoke, Sean had already blended into the night and jumped onto the top of the wall.

He gently extended his fingers forward a little, then quickly retracted them.

"Why do you think Bai Zhan wouldn't keep too many useful things at home?" Sean asked with a smile.

Mio Shisan wondered in her heart, "No one would leave many valuables in a place where you don't often come back, right? Besides, even if there are, you are not short of money."

"That's human nature..." Sean snapped his fingers. "Generally speaking, it's more reassuring to keep certain important items close to you. But what if you're always surrounded by someone you don't know anything about?"

Mio Jusan was startled, then said, "Jehovah? You mean..."

Sean smiled and said, "The Lord is manipulating Bai Zhan as a chess piece, and he and the emperor are using each other. Bai Zhan is at the 'bottom of the food chain'. However, a qualified heir to the throne will never be 100% open with his subordinates. The Lord has shown too many things, Bai Zhan is happy, but his concerns will also increase at the same time."

At this moment, Noah's voice sounded in Sean's mind: "Test completed, the protective device is the Imperial Energy Field Defense Type III Modified, and is being analyzed according to the database..."

Sean's smile was full of mockery: "Since Bai Zhan hangs out with Jehovah all day long, he naturally wants some private space to store some things... or, to store some information that Jehovah doesn't even know..."

"Instead of sneaking around and building another secret base, it's better to use a ready-made place."

Mio Shisan suddenly understood: "You mean, Bai Zhan had already made preparations for both scenarios because he was concerned about Jehovah?"

Noah's voice sounded: "Analysis completed. Next, the energy field will shake for half a second. This is a normal shake. I have prepared it forty-six hours in advance. It should not attract attention."

"Shh-"

The invisible stance caused the air to fluctuate, and Sean's figure disappeared directly over the wall.

Standing firmly inside the wall, Sean stretched his body and said, "Of course Bai Zhan didn't have to make any preparations. Or, he didn't think of making any preparations. But even if he really wasn't smart enough, if he still hasn't learned it under Jehovah's teaching, then I'll just say that I made a wasted trip today because of his stupidity."

Mio Shisan was speechless for a while: "You have figured out Bai Zhan's thoughts, and you still call him stupid..."

"Isn't that stupid?"

"When I was a kid in the imperial capital, Bai Zhan was already very famous, and it was a good reputation. Even though he looked straightforward and reckless, he was good at strategy when fighting."

Sean raised a mocking arc at the corner of his mouth: "The empire's military is strong, how can he show his strategy? Besides, if he is really smart, this place should have someone guarding it by now..."

Mio Shisan was stunned again, then reacted: "When you left Baiye's residence, did you deliberately let the surveillance people see you and then disappear?"

Sean smiled and patrolled Bai Zhan's manor like a ghost: "There should be a large number of strong men lying in ambush near the monster imprisoned in the palace, right?"

……

At night, the palace is still brightly lit. This is the habit of the royal family, who do not like dark environments.

However, most of the time, the area around the temporary prison was quiet and silent, except for the occasional sound of dragging chains.

Not far away, in a seemingly ordinary bush, a group of people were hiding.

It was a fairly large white room, covered entirely with holographic equipment.

Bai Zhan, who was in the center of the crowd, was staring at the translucent window in front of him.

However, perhaps because his subordinates knew that Bai Zhan was not in a good mood at the moment, they did not dare to get too close.

Only Jehovah, dressed in black and with his head covered in a hood, was beside him.

Seeing Bai Zhan staring intently, Jehovah chuckled and said, "Your Highness, you don't need to watch it yourself. If anything goes wrong, our people will notice it."

Bai Zhan frowned. "I can't help but keep an eye on him, Military Advisor. I've always wondered why I always have a strange feeling in many things, as if someone is spying on me. It wasn't until you reminded me that I realized... Sean is not dead at all."

Hearing the name Sean, Jehovah shuddered involuntarily.

He quietly pressed the medicine injection button on his waist, and then he felt a little better.

The feeling of fear still could not be eliminated. He could only use drugs to forcibly change his hormone levels and muscle reactions... It was a huge burden on the body and the physical pain was very strong. However, this body would have to be abandoned sooner or later, so he just had to be patient.

But hatred is getting stronger

On the other side, Bai Zhan was still talking: "I didn't look down on Sean before. I also heard about what he did in Paradise City... But after listening to your description, I realized that I still underestimated him... It is conceivable that he has already grasped many of my secrets. I will not be able to sleep or eat well until I get rid of this kind of person."

Jehovah smiled upon hearing this and said, "Your Highness, don't be impatient. Sean is the best of the best in both methods and thoughts, but this kind of person's conceited problem will never change."

Bai Zhan frowned: "What if Sean doesn't take the bait?"

Jehovah sneered, "No, he will definitely take the bait. He has an unconcealable curiosity about these secrets. With Panda in his hands, he will definitely know what happened in the shelter. Therefore, he must know about this monster... He will definitely not let go of the evil god, the tempter Gao Zhi."

The reason why Jehovah dared to say this was that although he successfully summoned the seducer Gao Zhi, before that, Sean also responded to the ceremony and came to the scene.

Combined with his own discoveries in the Gray Sea, Jehovah could be sure that there was an unimaginably close connection between Sean and Gao Zhi.

And many of the things Sean did were sending a signal that he was looking for something.

Becoming Deep Blue? Or something even scarier?

The details are not important. All you need to know is that a conceited and stubborn person like Sean will never miss the opportunity to obtain a lot of confidential information - and, in his eyes, this is just a palace.

Sean must have thought that he could hide under the nose of the evil god's body for so long, let alone a mere palace.

Arrogant... still arrogance!

A cold look flashed in Jehovah's eyes.

Bai Zhan looked at Jehovah without revealing any expression. After the military advisor came back, he revealed more information than before...

Sure enough, just as I expected, the military advisor has been hiding many things... and this time, he revealed the news, probably wanting to use me to get rid of Sean, although I also have a strong need in this regard.

"Ugh……"

Bai Zhan sighed inwardly. As expected, such a strong man would not be 100% loyal to him.

However, I just need to keep enough backup plans... If everything goes well, that would be the best. When I ascend the throne, I won't have to worry about loyalty. If anything goes wrong, I have a way to solve it.

Two people, each with their own thoughts, were thinking secretly. Suddenly, in the center of the picture, a eunuch carrying a bucket passed by the temporary prison.

Suddenly, everyone in the room tensed up.

Bai Zhan calmly ordered: "Keep a close eye on him, but don't act rashly."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

A hint of coldness flashed in Bai Zhan's eyes: "But if you are sure, kill him on the spot!"

"Yes!"

The room was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop, but the eunuch who passed by just looked up at the prison with some fear, then immediately quickened his pace and left.

No? Bai Zhan frowned.

Soon, someone reported back: "Your Highness, the eunuch just now was a cleaning eunuch in the office. He is innocent. We searched everywhere in the vicinity and did not find him unconscious or stripped of his clothes."

Bai Zhan frowned and ordered, "Keep watching all the eunuchs, duty officials, etc. nearby, and make sure everyone is under our sight."

"Yes."

Jehovah smiled and said, "Your Highness, there is no need to be so cautious. Sean has many tricks, but he would not have expected that the most advanced technology of the shelter has always been in your hands... As long as the defensive position is triggered, we can deploy the restraint net."

"Military Advisor, I'm worried that even if the restraint net is opened, it will be difficult to catch Sean..."

Jehovah said confidently, "No, the device I brought back can even temporarily restrict the etheric body... In addition, Your Highness, don't forget that we are in the palace, and we all have legitimate reasons... However, for other people who trespass into the palace, the Palace Crimson has the qualifications and obligation to take action... and kill them on the spot!"

A glimmer of light flashed in Bai Zhan's eyes: "Indeed...but this is under Father's feet...if there is too much noise..."

Jehovah smiled and said, "Your Majesty is only concerned about the construction of the statue of the founder of the nation... Even if there is a commotion, just blame the other party for the last fire... Your Highness, sometimes you don't need to be too cautious. Although His Majesty does not ask about state affairs, there are some things that he knows but pretends not to see, that is..."

Bai Zhan narrowed his eyes slightly: "Acquiesce... Go, ask someone to find the leader of the guards and tell him that I want to treat him to a drink... No, tea."

"Yes."

……

"This is it." Sean muttered as he looked at the mechanism in front of him.

Noah's voice came at the right time: "Your judgment is very accurate, Saint Three. According to my detection, the energy field strength here is much higher than other directions. At the same time, there is an adaptive binding net here. If any abnormal movement is detected, it will be directly activated to unfold an energy net that can bind the etheric body."

Sean was surprised and said, "You can even trap the etheric body, so awesome?"

"Yes, this is one of the last cutting-edge technologies in the shelter, and the restraint net has not been modified in any way. However, the shortcomings of this technology are obvious. First, it is extremely expensive but it is a disposable product. Second, it only has a restraining effect, not a suppressing effect."

Sean thought thoughtfully, "It turns out that Bai Zhan has this kind of good stuff hidden in his hands. If I rashly enter the palace, I might be locked up there."

Noah said: "At present, it seems that I cannot help you escape after the binding net is activated, and your shadow world cannot leave the range of the net."

"And now this?"

"This is the third shortcoming that I haven't mentioned yet. The unactivated restraint net is just a program, and the shelter technology has a program level. The restraint net program level is very high, but I am above all programs - Saint Three, the restraint net program has begun to sleep, and the energy stand can be shaken at any time according to your needs."

"Too reliable—" Sean exclaimed, "Right now."

"Yes."

The mechanism rumbled and the energy field shook violently, but at this moment Bai Zhan was drinking tea with the leader of the guards. The silver piece he touched subconsciously was the same as usual, without any movement.

"Wow, what did I say? Can our great prince take some time off?"

Inside is a huge basement with bright lights. A large number of robots are working in an orderly manner.

These robots have many similarities with the ones Sean had seen in the Survivor Mountain, but judging from their appearance, they are all operating according to set programs.

Sean did not disturb the robots. He disappeared into the basement, and on the left hand side was a password door - Bai Zhan's password door was worthy of being Bai Zhan's password door. It took Noah a full ten seconds to open it!

"Damn, I regret this..." Sean sighed as he entered.

I should have brought Zhu Zhu here… I was in such a hurry to steal the house that I forgot to drive the truck.

This is the resource area, where a wide variety of precious items are displayed on various shelves.

"Can the pocket hold it?" Sean asked sadly.

Noah replied, "No, the [Pocket] has many limitations, and the volume is not large. Based on the layout rules, I can point out the most valuable areas for you."

"Finger, don't look at it first, take them all away!"

Seeing Sean moving things into his pocket non-stop, Mio Shisan was dumbfounded: "Don't you need money?"

Sean kept moving his hands and cursed, "Stupid, there is no one who doesn't lack money? There are only people who lack brains!"

"So, Bai Zhan knew everything shortly after returning?"

Sean rolled his eyes, "What else? Noah!"

"exist."

"Can the program warning be modified?"

"of course can."

"The warning program was suppressed so that they could not issue it, but the warning time was changed to two hours later."

"Yes."

Sean threw a bunch of expensive-looking medicines and the refrigerator into his pocket, then chuckled, "I love watching other people's intrigues the most."
