Male Succubus Apocalypse

Chapter 142 Puzzle Game

"You... you are right..." Quessus knew that Xu Heng would definitely question Machi. After answering, he hesitated for a moment, wondering whether he should tell everything immediately. Xu Heng interrupted him:

"Xiao Kui, now, I don't want to know what he did in the black market and what kind of great achievements he has made. I just want you to notify the other secret guards to find his location and bring him here if possible." Xu Heng didn't want to waste any more words. He wanted to meet Machi directly and curb his possible plan on the spot, although he knew that the probability of this would be very small.

He knew that March, the cunning little brat, was ready to be checked by him, his big brother, starting from the moment he stepped into March's seemingly ordinary room.

"Yes." Quessus nodded, not daring to say anything more. Xu Heng's attitude was very strong, so he raised his hand and used the secret guard's "multi-functional ring".

But after contacting them and receiving unbelievable news, his face suddenly froze.

"Haha, is it possible that the secret guards you sent out to protect Machi have lost contact?" Xu Heng sneered, as if he had already anticipated the outcome. "Then, Xiao Kui, how will you be responsible? Or, who can fight against your secret guards? Knowing that it was someone from the Flame Cloud Chamber of Commerce, you still took action? Isn't Machi in great danger?"

"Sir Xu Heng, this is my fault! I take all the responsibility! I deserve death!

But I can guarantee that my men are absolutely elite, and in order to protect Mr. March, we have specially prepared a team to follow up.

Judging from the positioning and reaction of the bound ring, all members of this team are alive and in their respective positions. Even if they are demigods, it is impossible for them to be alive and lose contact quietly.

Moreover, Mr. March is actually the real controller of the black street now, since…” When Quessus heard Xu Heng’s sarcastic question, he had no time to be surprised by his prophetic words. He half-knelt down, bowed his head to admit his mistake, and then went to respond to Xu Heng’s concerns.

A flash of doubt flashed through his mind as to why Xu Heng did not get furious but was instead unusually calm.

In Quess's eyes, Xu Heng had not returned for a month and had no idea about the current situation. He was probably just confused.

However, Xu Heng interrupted him again, "Stop! Quessus! I am not worried about Machi's life, but I am asking you, do you think he is in great danger!

You said he is now the master of the underworld, I don't believe that this process would be so easy, I want to know how he did it. "

Xu Heng's tone became even firmer, with an implicit seriousness in it, reminding the people facing him to only answer the key questions, otherwise they would be interrupted.

This time, Quess was at a loss. He didn't know what Xu Heng wanted to ask, but he had an intuitive feeling about how March became the real controller of the Black Street. "To answer you, the process was not easy. We dealt with some of the dangers, but Mr. March was very shrewd and resourceful. He integrated the Black Street almost single-handedly. Do you want to hear the details?"

"Wait a minute... Alas..." Xu Heng stopped interrupting, but replied quickly. After a pause, he let out a long sigh and stopped being so tough, "Xiao Kui, Xiao Kui, you guys have really been fooled around by that little bastard, or rather, by that crazy guy... Get up, go back to Machi's room first, and start all over again."

Quessus felt his chin being lifted, and then he saw a pair of extremely indifferent eyes without any emotion, which he had never seen before. Xu Heng's eyes were neither emotional nor rational, but a "neutral state" that was difficult to describe?

His intuition and feelings disappeared for a moment, as if he was facing a mass of "nothingness" if he had not seen Xu Heng's physical body.

……

"Now, Xiao Kui, I want you to divide into three groups. One group will go to the tavern and sneak into all the places. Turn it upside down, but don't alarm my brothers and guests. See if you can find the business flow report or business plan. Bring all other paper documents here as well.

The second group of people will control the black market and subdue those who have close ties with Machi. Then, see what happens to your so-called team. Although I guess that it is likely that their minds are controlled, if they can meet the conditions of not dying and not moving but staying in place,

The third group, search for Machi's location, and find Mia, and continue to follow her. I know you have a lot of questions now, but wait, just do as I say... There is no need to turn on the lights, there is no need to see this place clearly."

In the dimly lit room of Machi, Xu Heng sat on the sofa with his legs crossed and spoke calmly to Quessus who was standing in front of him.

Quessus really didn't understand, but Xu Heng's current state made him feel inexplicably uneasy. Those eyes were like an eagle in the sky, looking down at the earth, with its pupils dilated, seeing the barren land clearly.

"Okay, Master, we have already been asked to follow your arrangements as closely as possible. I will contact all the secret guards in Jincheng now." Quessus promised and began to carry out Xu Heng's orders.

"Xu Heng, you seem very calm?" Julie was actually very familiar with Xu Heng's current state, but she could not understand Xu Heng's arrangements at the moment.

"Calm? Humph, it's better to say that I'm going crazy, but not in a very mild way. Although I don't know the specific measures that Machi will use to operate the community economy, I can be sure that the community economy itself is not something he can suddenly realize overnight. Even if he can, the more detailed steps and development direction, based on my understanding of him, are simply impossible.

Rather than believing in this magical reality, I would rather believe that the madman wants to snatch the right to education from me. "Xu Heng responded.

"You mean, Krollitz is channeling March?"

"Of course, we can assume now that Krolitz is with Machi. As Quessus said, his team has lost contact. I think the only one who can do all this quietly is Krolitz, who was able to push the Orc Alliance forward. It is also the easiest to do.

And until now, the slimes on you and me have not reacted to any stronger fluctuations, so it is highly likely that there is no other demigod in this city except Krolitz."

"Then...what does that mean? Why are we taking away the right to education?"

"It shows that Krolitz could have played around with Jincheng, but he didn't. He is now playing with March. He is inspiring March's economy and even the political consciousness that I least want to see. He is using the entire Jincheng as a testing ground.

Then he might want to take Machi as his apprentice, wouldn't that be stealing the right to educate?

Because male succubi are indeed very suitable for the psychic department, and this may be to target me. Although I don't know how he fooled Machi, he made Machi completely go against my original instructions. He can take people away, and it is voluntary, but Krolitz still stayed. What is he trying to do?"

As Xu Heng was speaking, several blurry human figures suddenly appeared in the room. They stood neatly behind Quess and knelt on one knee together. Some presented something, while others just knelt.

"Sir Xu Heng, according to your instructions, the first group of people have completed the mission. These are the results. I'm sorry, there are no reports, let alone plans, only some paper miscellaneous items." Quessus neatly collected the things presented by his men and prepared to hand them over to Xu Heng.

"You guys are really quick to act, wow... no plans and reports? Forget it, Xiao Kui, can you help me take a look? Aren't there only things like invitations and black cards?" Xu Heng waved his hands. He couldn't see clearly in the dark - mainly because he was afraid that other people would notice - Quessus was a vampire with strong night vision.

"Yes...it is just as you expected..." Quessus paused, carefully flipped through the things in his hand, and responded.

"Well... wait a little longer. Since you guys are moving so quickly, the third group should have results soon..." Xu Heng nodded and responded casually.

"The third batch?... This..." Quess was still confused when the message on the ring suddenly came. He followed Xu Heng's instructions to sense it, and just as he was about to say something, his voice trembled. "I can't find it... The closest ones have also lost contact."

"Okay, okay, then Machi will definitely not be found. Alas, I didn't expect this to be the worst result. Although, I was mentally prepared... Let's go. Maybe today, I can't beat that madman. After all, he knows me, but I don't know him. He hides and sets traps for me secretly. What a good tactic... Tsk." Xu Heng immediately stood up, patted his legs, straightened his clothes, and said with a sigh.

"Sir...Sir, where are you going?" Quessus could no longer understand what Xu Heng was saying, what he was thinking, or even what judgment he made based on the current situation.

"Where else can we go? To the Black Street, the little secret base of that little bastard Machi. Oh, and search the Black Street for me too. Also, ask someone to go to your Yanyun branch in Jincheng and bring back everything related to the cooperation between the tavern and the Chamber of Commerce. There must be some of them, and that's what that little bastard definitely wants me to see." Xu Heng opened Machi's door, letting the light in, into this neat and somewhat deliberate room.

……

First of all, the person who drugged the patient must be someone inside the tavern, right? Why? The purpose is obvious, which is to provoke confrontation between the tavern and the black market.

In other words, it is the confrontation between Mia and the black market.

Could it be those water elemental slimes? Hum, no way.

Then who else could know Nolan's death match so well? He might even poison his opponent and quickly cover up the toxicity when the poison took effect - he must have given the antidote nearby.

A poison that can paralyze a fourth-level demon? This is no joke.

As for those little bastards in the black market, there is no doubt that the little bastard March is there. At the same time, he is satisfying the people in the tavern, is present when the poison takes effect, understands and can control the situation of the death match - think about it, why is Nolan winning so easily all the time? Is his opponent so weak in every round?

And it was the first time he was seriously injured? Humph, even when the poison took effect, he could still fight back, does anyone believe it? He is a genius, but he has very little combat experience. I don't believe that he was injured by such a coincidence until today.

Reasonable? Yes, it can be reasonable, and you can get stuck in a rut, but March is the ruler of the underworld, and that's irrefutable evidence.

The ruler of the underworld wants to create an enemy? There must be something wrong when things are abnormal. His underlying demand must be in that letter.

He must have a plan that he really doesn't want me to discover.

Second, what is this layout?

I don’t have the information for now. All I’m missing now is Yan Yun’s information and the details of the black market.

Don't talk about breaking the deadlock.

I don’t even know what the situation is now!

But the little bastard's arrangement of the tavern itself reflected his importance of this situation, his desire to achieve a certain goal, or in other words, his cautiousness in wanting to confuse me in the "dream" he had woven.

From the moment I returned to the tavern and entered Nolan's room, something felt wrong. The moment I learned about the existence of the alienated "black card", I was wondering, how would March reconcile the conflict between the so-called free entry and exit black card and the time of ordinary guests?

And, did he keep the "Night Invitation" business system? That is, during the day, the kids can give guests the opportunity to meet at night.

After the "invitation letter" was finally found, I couldn't help but have a question:

Aren't you afraid of being caught? Damaging the expectations of the "fans"?

What's even more coincidental is that the tavern is very quiet today, but it's morning. However, according to Quessus' description, at least Kaven is very popular, so there is only one possibility.

Based on the alienation, Marchi broke the principle of long-term contact with customers with the black card - it is easy to turn public into private, because you can come over in your free time, so it is not a work meeting. I had strict regulations before for meeting at night. After all, when the moon is dark and the wind is high, there must be more restrictive fences - developed a new system.

It is probably that a few days are set aside as "Black Card Exclusive Days" and only available to high-end guests holding black cards to come to the store.

Am I right, Xiao Kui? Yes, don’t mind me talking to myself, just answer me - "Black Card Zhou"? Humph, no wonder it was so quiet before sneaking into the tavern, I thought the situation was not what I thought.

Every room is so beautiful. This little bastard must have set his sights on his brothers. The people he gave black cards to are all in some ambiguous relationship with them.

You put the so-called beautiful dream in front of me, but will I believe it? You think this is right, little bastard? Let the brothers forget their identities as demons and indulge in the land of gentleness?

What then? Shatter it? Or continue? Let you play with it?

You crossed the line, March. You are the first bastard to attack your brothers!

It seems that you have also realized that none of them will take care of your business. After all, among all people, you are the only one who has resisted my decision and asked me about the business details. This is why I handed the store over to you.

Now I regret the most that I shot myself.

And before you left, you, little bastard, erased all traces of your room and all the operating records of the tavern. That was simply an admission of guilt.

But this just goes to show that you think it is more beneficial for me to realize that information is being concealed than for me to discover important clues in the tavern.

At the same time, prepare the illusion and the back-up plan. Black Card Week should be the critical period for you to realize your plan. If you prepare early, you can delay it even if I come back suddenly.

Unfortunately, I was not fooled.

Machi, Machi... this little bastard, he made the greatest possible sacrifice for his own goal. However, he must have left a record in the Flame Cloud Chamber of Commerce, but it can only be a modified version. There is no other way, I can only look at this version that may have been greatly modified by him.

Right, Quesus, he used the Flame Cloud Chamber of Commerce to accomplish the so-called genius transformation you mentioned?

And integrating the black market? Do you think it was his own effort? Humph, your team has lost contact. Do you think that if he can use the resources of Yanyun Chamber of Commerce, he can’t use you?

But this is my fault. It's my fault for being too cautious. He noticed that if I dared to leave, I would definitely leave a backup plan for them. The implicit warning I gave them a month ago might have been the clue for him to deduce the conclusion that "they have bodyguards around them".

Damn it, a month ago! No, even longer ago, you little bastard! You started planning! And you just happened to run into a lunatic!

Alas, Xiao Kui, I'm not crazy, I'm still very calm, I just don't talk to myself, my brain is a little slow...

So, do you understand, Mr. Quessus Dark Guard? Whether it is my brothers or you, you can all be played happily by him. Not only you, but the whole city, are his toys.

He used all of you, you were all just his pawns.

Why? It’s because you all ask why that I can only be reduced to a toy. But there is no other way, I have to use dimensionality reduction to attack that madman.

I can only guess what they are going to do...

How did he control the black market? How did he carry out the new reforms? What will he do, overtly or covertly?

What a great puzzle game! Do you want to play with me?

No, Xiao Kui, you don't need to tell me that what you see is not completely true. Now your brain is being circled by that madman...hahaha!
