I'm a villain, not a devil

Chapter 649 Dilemma

When Chuan Jiu picked up this necklace, the round beads on it were still foggy and there was nothing magical about it.

As a scavenger since childhood, he was used to collecting some small things that looked good, so this necklace was naturally preserved.

But later, by chance, during a battle, the beads on the necklace accidentally got stained with his blood and the blood of a crazy beast. Then, Chuan Jiu was shocked to find that the beads on the necklace had undergone magical changes.

The blood stain seemed to bind him to the necklace, and the blood of the crazy beast provided the first energy source.

Yes, energy. After repeated experiments, Chuan Jiu discovered that this necklace and the round beads on it were actually an extremely rare treasure - as long as they were soaked in enough crazy beast blood during the day, at night, the beads would automatically absorb the starlight and moonlight from the night sky.

Whenever the starry sky and the Milky Way in the beads begin to appear and rotate, it means that the charging is complete.

Chuan Jiu still doesn't know how to fully utilize this bead, but what he knows is that as long as the bead is charged, he can absorb massive amounts of energy from it!

Two months ago, he was only a lower king level, but with the help of this bead, he was promoted to Crimson in just two months. What was even more shocking was that when he was promoted to Crimson, he encountered the crazy abnormalities brought about by the blood of the mad beast, but the bead that could only provide energy in the past could easily quell the abnormalities and helped him successfully promote to Crimson.

This made Chuan Jiu realize that using this bead as a "power bank" might just be the most superficial way of using it. The mystery hidden in this bead was beyond his imagination.

But what Chuanjiu didn't expect was that the newly appeared Church of the Eternal Ashes actually began to hunt him down. Not only him, but also May, Hotshot and Mr. Cuban who had always been with him were also wanted.

This is the most difficult thing for Chuan Jiu to understand. A few months ago, they were just an explorer team that could be seen everywhere in this world. The most special thing about them was the strength of the four of them. A team of explorers with four king-level members also had a lot of say in this world.

However, for some reasons, Chuan Jiu and his team did not join the official forces, but lived a low-key life.

Only a few people know about them, and occasionally a few teams will have some impression of their appearance, but to be honest, four king-level people would never be in the eyes of Her Majesty the Queen and His Royal Highness the Prince.

However, the wanted poster actually accurately described the names and appearances of the four people.

Chuan Jiubai was puzzled. His team had almost no contact with the empire. They usually stayed in the suburbs of the imperial capital, that is, outside the city. They would only enter the city when they needed supplies. So how did the Church of Eternal Ashes get such accurate information?

He previously suspected that the team's contact in the city had betrayed them, and when he ventured into the imperial capital to verify it, he discovered that the contact's family had actually been captured by the imperial army...

In this situation, could it be that I really happened to pick up something from the Church of Eternal Ashes, and then they discovered it using divine means?

"Chuan Jiu..." The injured Wu Yue hesitated for a moment before speaking softly, "After thinking about it, it can only be the necklace you picked up... Although the empire is overbearing, it is not overbearing without reason. On the contrary, after the new queen took office, many policies have a sense of fairness..."

"If we surrender directly, maybe they won't make things difficult for us..."

Without waiting for Chuanjiu to speak, the boy, whose name is as hot as his personality, immediately retorted: "No! Why should we turn ourselves in? If we really stole something, we would admit it! But Brother Chuanjiu only picked it up so far away from the imperial capital, how can it be their empire's? Moreover, they issued a wanted order for us without any explanation or warning, why? "

The middle-aged man, Mr. Cuban, just covered his one eye and remained silent. Obviously, he was a little hesitant, but overall he agreed with the idea of ​​May turning himself in.

Chuan Jiu frowned tightly, feeling mixed emotions.

This necklace is a good thing, a great thing, so good that he can't bear to give it up, but the people standing on the opposite side are not other explorer teams, but the entire empire...

Wu Yue just calmed down Huo Bao, then gently grasped Chuan Jiu's hand and said softly: "Chuan Jiu, even if you reach the deep red level, we are still no match for the Empire. The previous prince of the Empire, Bai Youming, was a real deep blue level, a strong man that we can't imagine."

"And the current prince, Mr. Sean, was previously an important suspect wanted by the late emperor. There are even rumors that the eldest prince, who was originally the first heir, died at his hands... Now, he has become a prince as an adopted son, which can only prove one thing... Either Bai Youming is standing firmly behind his adopted son, or this Sean has a strength similar to Bai Youming..."

Mr. Cuban said in doubt, "Deep Blue? This is impossible, right? That Sean should be about the same age as Chuanjiu. Chuanjiu is a genius, and he was promoted to Deep Red by chance... Even if Sean has a digital source, it is impossible for him to reach Deep Blue at this age, right?"

Chuan Jiu shook his head seriously. "I just got some news today. I heard that when the Empire attacked the Sand City, no Imperial Army was dispatched. The Imperial Army was only responsible for the final finishing work. All this is because that Prince Sean had already solved the entire Sand City before them... He is most likely Deep Blue."

Upon hearing this, even the indignant and angry man couldn't help but hold his breath.

Wu Yue advised: "If that's the case, then we are even more powerless to fight back. Chuan Jiu, why don't you just hand it over..."

Chuan Jiu hesitated in his heart, but it was not because of this magical necklace. It was true that he was reluctant to part with the necklace, but for him, he had gained enough benefits after being promoted to Crimson in two months. He felt lucky enough as he was easily satisfied since he was a child.

If it really could save the lives of the four of them, he would hand over the necklace.

But he was worried that even if he handed it over, the Church of Eternal Ashes would not let them go.

In addition, in addition to this concern, there is also May's identity...

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

May's identity is the main reason why they have never joined the official forces and have been living alone. But if they go to surrender, May's identity will most likely be exposed...

"Chuanjiu..." May's hand grabbed again.

He looked up and saw the girl's firm yet gentle eyes, which made him feel even more uneasy.

"No, they will find out your identity... By then, even if the Church of the Eternal Ashes does not pursue us, the Empire will not let you go... The Empress of the Empire did not ascend to the throne illegally, but she is not the legitimate heir... She will definitely be wary of you..."

"But if we continue like this, we will be discovered sooner or later... and... you have already given too much to me over the years..."

Huobao immediately yelled, "No, Sister Wuyue, I will never agree to this! You were the one who saved my life in the first place, this is what I should have done."

Mr. Cuban also nodded: "I can agree to the rest, but May's identity cannot be revealed."
