Global Evolution: I transplanted the heart of the Supreme God.

Chapter 934 You are very perceptive and decisive

Imperial military camp, Marshal's golden tent.

Bai Pu met Gallius again.

The Imperial Legion Commander remained as handsome as ever. This time, he finally gave Bai Pu a proper look.

"Steelheart, you've improved quite a bit in strength to be able to kill Karamango."

"I was forced to retaliate in self-defense."

Bai Pu immediately explained, "Most importantly, Karamango's actions were obstructing me from reporting important military intelligence to the Legion Commander, which seriously damaged the interests of the Empire. I had no choice but to kill him."

"Oh? Then tell me. What kind of important military intelligence would make you risk the crime of killing a gladiator nobleman?"

Bai Pu briefly organized his thoughts and then took out two image-recording crystals.

Using the recording crystal, Bai Pu recounted three things in turn.

First, there's the matter of Mrs. Reige—Galius's wife—who, through Karamango's arrangement, secretly "met" Steelheart in the western part of the Black Algae Mountains, but in reality, they were meeting up.

Gallius, after seeing the first photographic crystal, had a rather intriguing expression.

"What does this prove? That my wife, Reese, is so thirsty she wants to have a wild encounter with you, this newly minted gladiator?"

Bai Pu quickly waved his hand: "No, no, she can't be your wife. You should have been able to sense the subtle changes in her over time!"

"My relationship with Mizuki has taken a sharp turn for the worse in the past year."

Gallius shook his head and said, "At first I thought it was because I was focused on military affairs and neglected her feelings."

"No, it's actually quite possible that Mrs. Mizuki was switched."

Bai Pu then brought up the second matter: "In the Grand Arena, before I killed Naga General Volash, Lady Reish didn't offer me even a single silver coin in support. But after confirming that I had killed Volash, she suddenly threw in ten thousand Ember silver coins! Don't you find that unusual?"

Gallius hummed in agreement, without denying it.

Bai Pu continued, "A coded bottle was found on General Vorash of the Naga. He must be on a mission to deliver this encrypted intelligence to his superior!"
"Ever since I got the Secret Bottle, I've been thinking about who Volash's superior is and who he's going to pass the Secret Bottle to."

"When I ran into Mrs. Mizuki in the Black Algae Mountains, I almost immediately listed her as my prime suspect. It was all too coincidental, and through probing, I learned that Mrs. Mizuki was after me!"

Gallius frowned slightly: "...So you used this recording crystal to record your meeting with Mizuki? You already planned to use this recording crystal to prove Mizuki's suspicion back then?"

“Yes,” Bai Pu said.

"...You are very perceptive and decisive. A recording crystal is quite an asset for a newly recruited gladiator," Gallius said.

Bai Pu let out a soft sigh of relief.

In the Crimson Blood Arena's merit exchange section, there is a "Remembering Crystal".

When Bai Pu saw the function of the recording crystal—that the recorded images could not be confused or altered by magic and could serve as evidence recognized by the natives—he did not hesitate to spend almost all of his merit points to exchange for a recording crystal.

Of course, in the words of the two wizards, "Steelheart used his bonus to buy a Memory Crystal." Using almost all of his merit points to buy a Memory Crystal was a commendable and decisive move.

As for what happens next, activating this precious photographic crystal in the Black Algae Mountains is actually not difficult.

Because at the time, there was a notification that "Continuous Task 1: Decryption" was completed.

Before meeting Mrs. Ruixi, Bai Pu was already certain that the other party was someone "capable of deciphering secret codes"! Otherwise, the objective of step one of the consecutive missions could not be achieved.

Based on this alone, Bai Pu was basically certain that Lady Reish was General Volash's contact.

Bai Pu was convinced from Lady Ruixi's urgent need for the secret bottle, and even her direct demand for it, that the bottle contained confidential information that the Naga clan wanted to give to Lady Ruixi, their "spy."

However, at that time, Lady Ryze was high up on the mountain wall and did not discover that Bai Pu had controlled a Naga captain—Korsasis.

She casually assigned Bai Pu a task to explore the Rotting Scale Naga's lair and collect its books.

However, Bai Pu still discovered a suspicious point—the task requirements described by Mrs. Ruishi did not completely match the [two-step continuous task] given by the spirit world's will.

Mrs. Reishi's main goal was to "bring back the library of the Rot-Scaled Naga".

In addition to the books, the Spirit Realm's [Continuous Quest 2 Steps: Search] now includes a new step: "Further search for clues about the Secret Message Bottle!"
They look almost the same, or even a bit superfluous.

—The bottle of secret messages has already been given to Mrs. Reishi, so the work of deciphering it should be done by Mrs. Reishi. The Awakened Ones should just honestly collect books and act as errand runners. Why are the Awakened Ones being asked to "further search for clues about the bottle of secret messages"?
This is precisely a subtle hint from the spirit world's will—Madam Reishi is unreliable, and the awakened one needs to find the clues in the secret bottle and the correct quest route!
Because of the presence of Kor'thas, Bai Pu did not spend any time searching before he entered the lair of the Corrupted Naga.

This advance in time was beyond Mrs. Reich's expectations.

Immediately afterwards, the projection of the "Shadow Baron" in the Rotscale Naga Assembly Hall informed Kor'thas that "a human thief will come to steal the book."

Based on the timing of the intelligence delivery, Bai Pu concluded that Lady Ruixi and the Shadow Baron were likely the same person!

Because she didn't expect Bai Pu to arrive so quickly, Lady Reese—also known as the Shadow Baron—made a blunder by personally telling the traitor Kossachs the key decryption book, "The Dark Moon Era."

The information Bai Pu later deciphered from the coded bottle matched Lady Reishi's situation again—to guide the Empire's main fleet to bombard the Abyss Gate, the identity of the Legion Commander's wife was indeed the most convenient for Naga spies to carry out their mission.

The fact that the real Mrs. Reese was replaced gives us a clue.

However, before Bai Pu returned to Tefra City, this information was only the result of Bai Pu's deductions and could not convince the natives to bring down Madam Ruixi, since Madam Ruixi's status far exceeded Bai Pu's.

Therefore, Bai Pu generously informed Bart's team about the deciphering details of the secret bottle.

He originally thought that the entire Bart team would defect, after all, informing the lady would grant them the status of a secret guard, freeing them from the slave status of gladiators, and greatly increasing their freedom of action in the later stages, which was an irresistible temptation for many awakened individuals.

Bai Pu also used the pure magic crystal ore that the traitor Kosasis had stolen from the "Rotten Scale Naga Nest" to exchange for several recording crystals in the black market of Tefora's lower city, intending to record the scene of Bart's team being silenced by the Dark Guards as evidence that Lady Ruishi was a spy.

To Bai Pu's surprise, most of Bart's team members were quite loyal and did not defect.

Fortunately, a three-person team called "Brass Gunther" appeared at the last minute, allowing Bai Pu's plan to proceed smoothly.

When the Dark Guard leader Alice silenced Gunther, Bai Pu recorded the process simultaneously—this is the content of the second recording crystal, and also the third thing Bai Pu told Gallius.
