I'm a villain, not a devil

Chapter 652 Born Bad

The suburbs of the imperial capital, the poison city.

The reunited team of explorers looked at each other in silence. Chuan Jiu, who went to "surrender", returned safely, but he still brought back the magical necklace.

Finally, Huo Bao couldn't help it: "Brother Jiu, what happened? Why did you stay silent after you came back?"

May gave Huobao a reproachful look, and after thinking for a moment, she pulled Chuanjiu aside.

The girl's wounds had not yet healed, and her face was very pale. She held Chuan Jiu's hand and said softly, "What happened? Did the Eternal Ashes Church ask you to come back? Did they make any requests?"

Chuan Jiu raised his head slightly and looked at the girl's concerned and pale face. His lips moved a little, but he finally shook his head.

"I met the legendary Sean."

May covered her mouth in shock: "Is Sean here too?"

"He took the initiative to come see me..."

“To see you? Is the necklace really a sacred object of the Church of Everlasting Ashes? But, but why did he let you come back… He didn’t accept our surrender? But, that’s not right…”

Chuan Jiu just said in a deep voice: "Sean told me that this necklace is not only a sacred object of the Everlasting Ashes Church, but also an important item used by the Everlasting Ashes Tyrant to deal with other evil gods."

God? Wu Yue was extremely shocked. She would never have thought that the things her companions occasionally picked up would actually involve a confrontation between gods.

When she thought of this, she couldn't help but said anxiously, "Then we shouldn't let you come back... This is not something we are qualified to hold in our hands... Did he let you come back to use you to complete a certain ritual? Does this ritual require your sacrifice? No, absolutely not..."

Chuan Jiu forced a smile and shook his head: "No, Sean asked us to join the Church of Eternal Embers in secret. He said that after a while, other evil gods' human forces will find us... In other words, he wants us to be undercover."

"Undercover? No, getting involved in the battle between gods is too dangerous for you and others..." May said worriedly.

Chuan Jiu grabbed the girl's hand and said firmly, "But this is the only choice we have. Moreover, Sean gave me the necklace so that I can continue to improve my strength. Moreover, he will continue to help us secretly. He said that he can guarantee my promotion to Deep Blue."

"Deep Blue?!" May's eyes widened in surprise. Deep Red was already the absolute top combat force in this world, and there were only a few people left in Deep Blue. How could Sean guarantee that Chuan Jiu would advance to Deep Blue? !

But... she couldn't help but worry, "If he can train you, he can naturally train others. We have no relationship with him, and he is even wanted. I don't think he is telling the truth."

Chuan Jiu shook his head: "We have to believe it whether it's true or not. Sean's strength is beyond our imagination... But I have a hunch that Sean didn't lie to me, otherwise, he could have used other means to control us. For example, this..."

He took out a bottle of potion.

May was surprised and asked, "Elk potion?"

Chuan Jiu nodded. The elk potion was a specially made antidote used to treat special toxins - and May was currently suffering from that toxin.

"I tried, it's true... May, Sean knew exactly what we were doing before, it would be too easy for him to do something to us... Your injuries must be treated, but we can't get the elk potion. And, think about it, his arrest warrant for us is actually unnecessary, so it was just for the other evil gods to see... He had planned all this before."

Wu Yue was surprised and said, "You mean, Sean has been targeting us for a long time? The wanted notice is just a cover..."

Chuan Jiu nodded: "Yes, this is all part of Sean's plan. And he... is not someone we can fight against... May, this is the only choice we have now, but Sean has at least promised me a lot. Instead of fighting against him, it is better to follow his wishes. As long as we don't go against him, at least we are safe now."

May fell silent.

Chuan Jiu looked at the girl and said nothing.

Sean did say that, but he hid something from May.

In my mind, what Sean said not long ago resurfaced.

"Your girlfriend will die in the future. Well, I should say she will most likely die. You are very clear about your abilities, and I also know what May will do for you. As for May herself, you know her identity and her illness even better."

"So, the choice I give you is, help me, and then I will help you save Wu Yue's life, and I can ensure that Bai Ye will not do anything to her."

Sean's voice was still echoing in his mind, and Chuanjiu's eyes flickered slightly.

He might hesitate about other things, but he must save May's life!

And, like Sean said, he had no other choice…

In the end, Chuanjiu and his group agreed to Sean's request, but Chuanjiu didn't notice that there was a hint of unrelieved sadness in May's eyes when she looked at him.

"You definitely don't mean that well. That team is in trouble." After hearing about Chuan Jiu's situation, Luo Xi, who had just returned from Paradise City, immediately gave this evaluation.

The Rainbow Nest Clan settled in Paradise City, and as the clan leader, she ran back and forth whenever she had time to help her people gain a foothold.

Sean, who was sitting next to her, just said lazily: "Why are you so mean? I gave Chuanjiu the opportunity to choose, and he gladly accepted it. And it's not my fault if they have any problems internally."

Luo Xi couldn't help but say, "It's not your fault. The various reactions of the other team were all within your plan, right? You must have anticipated what would happen next."

Sean smiled and didn't explain, but just asked: "Have you visited the Stoneheart man?"

Luo Xi nodded: "They still treat me as a saint... I'm really not used to it. However, the Stoneheart people have been providing sacrifices steadily. I estimate that in half a month at most, the number of sacrifices will be sufficient - it could have been faster, but I went to the Sunken Port to check, and the number of tree people landing recently has decreased a lot."

Sean knew that the number of tree people landing was decreasing, so he just narrowed his eyes slightly.

Seeing Sean's expression, Luo Xi continued, "I went to take a look. There was something strange about the newly captured tree people, but I couldn't tell why. Also, the babies and young children born recently by the Stoneheart people matured very quickly. I don't know if it was the influence of that tree. I don't know why, but I still feel a little upset about that place."

Sean pursed his lips and just smiled: "After all, it's not a good thing..."

"If he's not a good person, why are you helping him?"

Sean spread his hands and said, "I'm not a good guy either. Two bad guys are more likely to become friends, right?"
