I'm a villain, not a devil

Chapter 736 Finding the Source
Is Shadow infected too?
Sean lowered his eyes and asked in a deep voice, "What have you been up to recently?"

The one who answered him was Bai Ye, who had a frown on his face: "Shadow is in charge of the blockade of East City, and has been in contact with various infected people recently."

The two couldn't help but look at each other, and both saw the solemnity in each other's eyes.

The danger level of the curse was raised again. Shadow was a real Crimson-level warrior, and even he was infected without realizing it...

Doesn’t that mean that even Bai Ye and others are in danger?

The hiding shadow obviously realized this. His voice continued to come from the shadows: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, for the sake of safety, I think you two should not get close to the infected. Even if you want to get close, don't get close to the area where the infected gather."

Sean nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Is this what you wanted to say just now?"

Shadow replied, "Yes, Your Highness. The cook died because he had been in contact with the infected. The moment I realized that I was also infected, I realized that my guess was correct - the infected gathered together, which would make the curse spread faster and increase the intensity of the infection."

A little man emerged from the shadows, looking like a shadow.

The little man bowed to Bai Ye and said, "Your Majesty, I need to be alone to slow down the spread of the curse. Please grant me your permission."

Bai Ye nodded: "You take a rest first."

Shadow replied, "Yes, if my guess is correct, the curse in my body should last for a long time after being alone. Of course, whenever you need me, Shadow will come immediately."

"Well, let's go."

Shadow left. His ability ensured that he was hidden in a place where no one could reach him, and his strength also ensured that the curse would not erupt in a short time.

However, Sean and Bai Ye now have to face more serious problems.

Bai Ye said in a deep voice: "This curse was created specifically for contagion. If the infected want to slow down the speed of the curse outbreak, they must be separated, which will take up a lot of space. Correspondingly, the remaining uninfected people have to gather together, but gathering together will cause the undiscovered infected people to become the source of the spread of the curse..."

Sean said thoughtfully: "It was created to deal with ordinary people and vetoes. Not surprisingly, you and others have been infected, but it just didn't spread as fast as the shadow."

Hearing this, Bai Ye felt a little headache and said, "It won't be fatal until the last moment. There is no big problem for the time being, but as long as it drags on, not only the entire empire, but the entire world will be ruined."

Sean nodded and stood up: "You will still be in charge of the affairs of the imperial capital. The others will be temporarily withdrawn and resettled in batches. All matters related to contact with the infected will be left to the poor and weak. It is strictly forbidden to gather people for a long time in the infected area. Try to let them be alone, or only allow small groups of families to stay together."

Bai Ye nodded to show that he understood, and then asked, "What are you going to do?"

Sean shrugged. "Cheryl and Moza haven't come back yet. I wanted to slack off, but the situation got much more out of control than I thought. In addition, I also suspect that my presence will accelerate the spread of the curse. It's a good opportunity to go out and find a solution."

Bai Ye said with some concern: "But this curse seems to have no source, and there is no solution. Why don't you go find Cheryl and the others?"

Sean smiled and said, "Moza and Cheryl can handle a whole city. I estimate that the curse outbreak over there may be more serious than that of the Imperial City. They have to face a lot of problems. Don't worry, they should be back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. I will also be back at that time. Combining the clues from both sides, we should be able to find some clues."

Bai Ye nodded thoughtfully, and then asked, "Are you going to the hidden family?"

Sean narrowed his eyes slightly. "In terms of various secrets, the hidden families know much more than us. It just so happens that the Yun family needs my help. I wanted to use this opportunity to do something. Now it seems that I should get rid of the curse first. I'm leaving, remember to miss me."

After saying that, Sean disappeared from the spot and no one knew where he went.

Bai Ye was the only one left in the hall. She looked at the place where Sean disappeared and sighed slightly.

However, she immediately turned into the majestic Queen again.

"Someone is coming."

……

"The estimate is normal. The outbreak in the imperial capital was indeed caused by Elisa Lam. The cities and gathering places around the imperial capital have not yet seen any curses."

Sean, who had explored the environment around the imperial capital, landed outside the secluded valley of the Yun family. He took out the flying sword that Yunshan gave him and waved it lightly, and the mountain protection formation began to shake.

Soon, Yunshan came out to greet him personally.

After the two parties had a "friendly exchange", this was the first time that Sean took the initiative to come to the Yun family. Yunshan naturally understood that the other party must have come with a purpose, but this was exactly what he wanted to see.

"Rare guest, is this your first time visiting my Yun family?"

I came here last time. Your concentration incense is very useful. The [Dragon Feast] divinity and the pure white crazy beast are also good things.

Xiao En smiled secretly in his heart, and looked around with curiosity on his face: "Brother Yunshan, your Yun family's place is really a Feng Shui treasure land."

Yunshan smiled and waved his hand: "It's a remote place, it's just a valley that the ancestor found at random. But it's a bit beyond my expectation that my friend would come here this time."

Sean asked curiously, "Surprised? Why do you say that, Brother Yunshan?"

Yunshan laughed loudly and said, "My friend, don't play tricks with me. I know your character a little bit. After the last negotiation, I'm afraid you have caught a lot of those hidden small families, right?"

This old fox...

Sean laughed secretly in his heart. The two of them had discussed before. For the sake of their own face and reputation, the Yun family was unwilling to do something like "betraying their companions". Just for providing some information, the Yun family asked for 30% of Sean's benefits.

Of course Sean would not agree. How could a person like him, who was a hard-working person, give up the meat in his mouth? After some argument, he naturally got the upper hand in the end.

The Yun family hesitated and wanted a few more days to consider, but Sean did not stop them. After all, what he was really interested in were those big families at the same level as the Yun family.

However, Sean didn't have the chance to do anything because he was busy with other things during this period.

Presumably, with the shameless character of Yun Shan, the head of the Yun family, many of those trembling small families have been taken under his command during this period of time.

He also said that I caught a lot of people. This old guy is almost as shameless as me.

Xiao En smiled but didn't expose it. He just said frankly: "No, no, I haven't had the energy to deal with these things during this period. To be honest, Brother Yun, I have also encountered a lot of trouble."

Yunshan showed a look of surprise, but this time he was not pretending.

He originally wanted to delay some time to subdue other small families, but he didn't expect that Sean would actually let him act secretly without urging him. Yunshan knew that Sean probably had other important things to do, otherwise he wouldn't be like this - presumably, this was the trouble he mentioned?
He looked inquiring, and Sean explained.

However, he automatically extended the curse that had just erupted for less than a few days to more than a month.

Yunshan frowned slightly: "I see... Is this why you came here?"

"Of course." Sean said frankly.

Yunshan observed his expression for a moment, but could not tell anything. He immediately turned aside and said, "It is not the right way to entertain guests to talk here. Come in and have a cup of tea, my friend. I just need to go to the clan's secret room to look for some information."

"Thank you, Brother Yunshan."

After staying in the reception room for a while, Sean noticed that the incense burning nearby was the concentration incense. He laughed in his heart, guessing that the Yun family was still testing him, and immediately inhaled the smoke secretly and "openly". Although the smoke had no effect on him, it didn't matter if he pretended.

Yunshan, who had been secretly observing Sean, received the news and his suspicion of Sean was reduced a little. He didn't let Sean wait any longer and came out after a while.

"My friend, to be honest, the Yun family has never seen a similar situation as the curse you mentioned..." Yunshan dragged out the last syllable.

He looked sideways and saw Sean with a look of regret on his face, and he even put down the teacup in his hand.

This kid...he still refuses to give in even though the situation has become like this?

Yunshan cursed in his heart, why did he say that on purpose? Wasn’t it still for Sean’s [Dragon Wings] that could sense other divine powers?

Sean naturally knew what Yunshan wanted, but unfortunately, what was in his body was [Dragon Feast] instead of [Dragon Wings] - although he was ready to pay the price, Sean could not help but know that the other party wanted to control him.

The weight of the chips here simply depends on how important that side is to one's own forces.

The curse on Sean's side is spreading, and the situation seems to be even more critical. After all, if there is no solution, most of the imperial capital will probably be destroyed.

However, Sean's character has been fully demonstrated, and Yunshan will not doubt Sean's coldness and indifference.

The situation on Yunshan is completely different. The Yun family seems to have not suffered a catastrophic disaster, but the Rise of the Gods is about to come. The Yun family has been in seclusion for so many years just for this moment. If they cannot find the [Dragon Feast], everything will be in vain.

What's more, Yun Shan, the head of the Yun family, is a man of dignity. He has to care about both face and reputation, and he has to worry about the future of the Yun family.

This is the difference between a bad guy and a hypocrite. Sean is a rebellious person who regards human life as worthless. He is always the one who is barefoot.

In the end, Yunshan couldn't help but speak first.

He sighed secretly and continued what he had not finished saying.

"To be honest, I have never seen an identical curse, but the Yun family did record its origin."

Sean said "Oh?" and showed a little expectation at the right time. Before Yunshan could offer any bargaining chips, he took the initiative to say, "I really have no idea about this matter. If the Yun family can help me solve this problem, I am willing to spend a lot of vitality to activate [Dragon Wing]."

Yunshan was a little caught off guard. This guy, who would not give up until he saw the rabbit, actually took the initiative to bring up the thing that his Yun family valued most.

Suddenly, some of the prepared remarks were difficult to use. Yunshan hesitated for a while, and continued: "Since you said so... However, the Yun family cannot guarantee a complete solution, but can only provide you with an idea."

"All ears."

Yunshan nodded slightly and said slowly: "First of all, my friend, your judgment is correct. This is indeed a curse that affects the soul. And there is one point worth paying attention to, and that is the mechanization of the infected."

Sean asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"

Yunshan thought for a moment and explained, "First, let's come to a conclusion. This is the work of someone above. After all, in our world, even the Deep Blue Peak can't do this."

"Right," Sean agreed.

Yunshan continued, "Then the next step is to narrow the scope, which is the mechanization I just mentioned. I believe you are familiar with the era, and the characteristics of mechanization are destined to determine that the one in the starry sky will only be born in the third or fourth era."

Sean nodded thoughtfully.

Yunshan said, "My friend, you are right. The characteristics of the real world also match some of the characteristics of the gods. Although metal objects were produced in the first and second eras, their products were relatively limited and it is difficult to judge their quality. It is easier to find a source based on the characteristics."

"Mechanization and robots are things that only appeared in the Third and Fourth Eras. If you want to use them as a symbol to curse the other party, it means that the other party was born in the Third and Fourth Eras. To be honest, my Yun family knows all the gods born in the Fourth Era, and there is no such person among them. Therefore, the other party can only be from the Third Era."

The third era, which is the high-tech era, is the time when Qi Xiaoyu lived before his death.

Yunshan nodded: "There are very few gods born in the Third Era. As far as I know, there is only one who meets the characteristics."

Sean frowned slightly: "Who? Why is he causing trouble again?"

Yunshan said helplessly, "Even my Yun family cannot know what's going on in the starry sky. I'm sorry I can't explain it - but I think this idea is correct. My friend, if you want to solve the problem, you need to find the god's walker in the world, or the altar or sacred objects he left behind."

Sean nodded: "How do I find it?"

Yunshan played dumb: "How to find it? My Yun family doesn't have an accurate method. We do know one thing, this god and another god have a grudge, and the two gods happen to be completely opposite in appearance, but..."

Yunshan wanted to get more benefits, but he didn't expect Sean to say:
"Opposition? Is the god who is opposed to Him Nieqi?"

Yunshan was stunned. He never expected that Sean would guess it directly.

How does this guy know so many things...

Before he could continue speaking, Sean stood up and said, "Thank you for telling me, brother. I have something urgent to do. I have to go talk to Nieqi."

Yunshan: "Um, okay, but... I..."

Sean bowed and said, "I have promised what I promised. I will come to see you when I finish my work, so you don't have to see me off. Bye."

After saying that, he left straight away, leaving Yunshan staring blankly.
