Become a powerful shadow master in the new world

Fortunately, it's just a small matter and no one will doubt my identity as a supporting role, but I need to sort out my abilities afterwards. I can't fall behind in combat, nor in auxiliary abilities.

He caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye, frowned, and stopped reviewing the situation in his mind. Sid turned his head to look at the little Tacheng cat who was staring at him, and tilted his head.

"What's wrong, Koneko-chan?"

"…Senior, I have completed the commission you asked me to do."

The kitten shifted his gaze, considered for a while, and then spoke about this matter hesitantly.

What commission?

Blinking, a question popped up in Sid's mind.

...It seems to be true.

After going through his memories in his mind, Sid remembered that he had entrusted all the cats that Xia Yin had entrusted to him to help find adoptive families... It seemed that Xia Yin had not contacted him yet?

"Senior, what are you doing?"

"nothing."

Stopping his hand that took out his phone to look through the chat history, Sid put the phone back without changing his expression and answered as if nothing had happened.

People are like this. When they think of one thing, they will think of another related thing.

Forget it, what's the point of looking for the chat records now? It's been almost half a month and I haven't contacted him yet. I guess Xia Yin has succumbed to reality and flew away. It's just that there are some things that are beyond her control.

"Thank you very much, Koneko-chan. I know why you asked me to do this. You want a reward, right?"

Sid could still give this amount of compensation. He had already negotiated the price by taking advantage of Xiaomao-chan's sympathy for stray cats, and he had kept the price very low.

"No, no need..."

To Sid's surprise, the kitten shook his head.

"Consider this as a gift for you joining Captain Rias' team, Senior."

"Oh, thank you, Koneko-chan. Is there anything else?"

After saying thank you, Sid continued to look at the kitten in Tacheng.

"No, nothing. I just came to tell you, Senior."

Looking at the hesitant and conflicted expression on Tacheng Kitten's face, Sid remained silent.

No, you look like you have something to tell me.

"Ahahaha, then I'm making a big profit now, I can get a free deal without paying."

Since the kitten from Tacheng didn't say anything, Sid didn't bother to ask and just let it go.

"Well, maybe I made a mistake."

Tacheng Kitten spoke the last sentence very softly, but Sid, whose attention was focused on Tacheng Kitten at the moment, still heard it clearly.

Doubts arose in Sid's mind. He didn't know what Tacheng Kitten meant by this. What went wrong? Was there any flaw in his perfect disguise as a supporting role?

Subconsciously, he wanted to reach out and grab Tacheng Kitten to ask what was going on, but he quickly suppressed the impulse. He just looked meaningfully at Tacheng Kitten who was running to help others, and a hammer appeared in his hand behind him.

Calm down, Sid, don't scare yourself, maybe Koneko-chan really made a mistake...

I will delete the kitten’s memory of today tomorrow. It’s difficult to do it today as there are so many people around.

Having planned out tomorrow's schedule in his mind, Cid walked towards Rias and the others with a smile on his face.

After a conversation, Sid learned about Rias and the others' next plan. Rias and Shito Sona had discussed it before he woke up, and decided to give up today's platform operation and go home in several teams led by their respective powerful followers.

The descendants of other forces would also restrain their targeted behaviors for a while and would not need to worry about being dragged into an alley and beaten up on the road... after all, a horrific church attack that could kill gods had just occurred, and they would have noticed such a big commotion on the island no matter what.

"Church guys, do you want to fight again?"

Staring at the church warriors who were blocking their way out and looking at them with lasguns in their hands, Sairaorg and his men, who had recovered their full strength, stood in front and confronted them.

Dulio, who was attacked by various magical powers, did not make an attacking gesture. He just waved his hand back to signal the church warriors to put down their weapons, and then looked at Sairaorg and the other two who were demon nobles.

"First of all, I want to apologize to you for this attack. This attack was planned and carried out by me alone. If you demons want to hold me responsible for trying to start a war, I will accept all the accusations..."

After hearing what Dulio said, Rias and the others looked at each other. They knew that Dulio was taking all the blame, but the situation was stronger than people, so after thinking for a moment, Rias spoke.

"I'm sorry, but we have no say on your behavior. We need to report this to the higher-ups in the underworld, and they will decide on the response."

Dulio was not surprised by Rias's and the others' answers. Now that Delta was no longer their common enemy, they also knew from the transatlantic phone call that the curse had eased a lot. It was naturally impossible for Rias and the others to cover it up as they had agreed before. In fact, that was not realistic.

“So the second thing I want to say is…”

Dulio raised his head, murderous intent revealed in his eyes. What he was about to say now was actually the key point.

"I hope you demons can find the terrorist hiding among you. We need to find a solution to this curse, and the demon involved in this incident must die."

This time, Rias and the others all looked unhappy at the same time, staring at each other in silence, and finally reached a consensus through eye contact.

"Please rest assured, Mr. Joker, we will definitely catch the terrorist hiding among us. We also don't want the world peace to be destroyed because of this."

"I hope so. We will follow the formal procedures this time..."

After taking a deep look at Rias and whispering something, Dulio turned around and led the church warriors away.

The main reason why he directly attacked Rias and the others before was because there was too little time. It would take too much time to follow the formal procedures and let the demons find the criminal themselves. Hundreds of thousands of lives cannot wait, not to mention that the demons might be covering up the criminal.

Now that he knew the curse was lifted, he naturally didn't mind following formal procedures to investigate the murderer. Or rather, if he wasn't pushed too hard, who would be willing to take such a big risk to attack a group of heirs to a demon family.

……

"So, Rias-senpai, you just accept it. Isn't it often said that in situations like this, people will take revenge in private by slowing down the process and taking revenge in private?"

Walking beside Rias, Sid asked Rias a question. He never minded assuming the worst of others.

"No, Sid, on the contrary, we must find the criminal who stole the King's Sword as soon as possible, otherwise we will be in big trouble."

Sighing at Sid, Rias covered her forehead with a look of pain.

The only clue revealed by the man in black who stole the Sword of Kings and spread the black spot curse is that his identity is a devil as Shido Irina said. It can be said that if you want to investigate the identity of the man in black, you cannot avoid the devil.

And because of someone's personal confession, the demon's identity information has been locked down among the more than 40 demons present.

If it were normal times, then Rias and the others would be able to refute the church's attempt to attack all of them by saying that individual actions cannot represent the collective.

As luck would have it, because of the actions taken against demons by the descendants of various forces, they, as demon nobles, planned to take a trip to show the descendants of other forces that this group of people were under their protection. It was fine for the two to separate, but when they joined together, they would run into the church's gun.

Among this group of demons there is a murderer that the church wants to catch. The heirs of the three major families in the underworld plan to take a walk today and announce to everyone that this group of demons is under their protection. These two things are purely coincidental. Do you think others will believe it?

The current situation is that because of their coincidental actions today, they themselves have been dragged into the list of suspects and need to prove their innocence before they can say that it was the church that attempted to provoke a war.

Individual behavior cannot represent the demons as a group, but the heirs of the three major underworld families, two of whom are relatives of the four major demons now, and one is the heir of King Baal's family, are definitely qualified.

It is useless to reason with them, because of the evil dragon plundering incident, other forces now have a biased and neutral attitude towards the demons.

And to be honest, Rias and the others were actually wondering if the other two were suspects, and they were pulled over to be used as shields.

It's not surprising that they think so, mainly because most of the demons that came to them for shelter today were the weaker ones, otherwise they wouldn't have been defeated so quickly by the offspring of other forces. They are basically intermediate demons (level B).

With such strength, he couldn't even withstand a large-scale AOE from Dulio, and he even succeeded in attacking the user of the Sword of King who was the natural enemy of the demon... It can only be said that most of the suspicion lies on these three family heirs and their families.

That's why Rias and the others are so distressed, and the source of their distress is that they are sure that the murderer is among them, so...

"This is all the fault of the evil Shadow!!!"

Sid clasped one hand together and hammered it against the other, shouting loudly in anger.

Nice, this is what he has wanted to say for a long time.

Frightened by Sid's sudden loud voice, after realizing what Sid said, Rias suddenly hugged Sid tightly, with one hand raised in front of her mouth, constantly making sounds representing silence.

"Sid, I know you feel indignant about my experience, but promise me that you will keep some things in your heart and don't say them out loud. I understand your intentions, and I believe that my family and you are innocent."

Feeling Rias's delicate slime and tense body, looking into Rias's emerald eyes, and seeing the anxious look in Rias' eyes, Sid nodded.

Only after getting Sid's assurance did Rias' body relax. What Sid said just now really scared her. You know, Shadow just left, who knows if Shadow would pass by and hear these words. Such a strong man can really do whatever he wants.

Then, as if because of the previous episode, the two of them were speechless for a while and could only walk on the road in silence.

"Hey, Sid, can I ask you for a favor?"

"Ok?"

Turning around, I saw Rias with her head lowered, her bright emerald eyes hidden beneath Rias's face.

"I would like you to help me find out who is the murderer among me, Shito Sona and Sairaorg's followers."

"Eh?"

Sid made a surprised sound and looked at Rias in surprise. Perhaps she felt Sid's gaze, so Rias hurriedly opened her mouth to disband.

"It's not what you understand, Sid. I believe that my followers and you are innocent, but because everyone is suspected, Cang proposed that you, the only one who is not a demon, should help with the investigation. I am against this proposal, but two votes against one vote...

I know this mission is very dangerous, if you are unwilling, Sid..."

"sure."

As if she heard some incomprehensible sound, Rias was stunned for a moment, looked up at Sid, but only saw Sid's bright smile.

"Well, Sid, you may not understand the danger of this mission. You also know what happened today. Shadow may kill you himself to hide the truth..."

"Isn't this better?"

Seeing Sid's smile getting brighter and brighter, tears gradually welled up in his emerald eyes, and Rias's eyes gradually became dazed.

Chapter 189: Ita Arrives and the Fourth True Ancestor Disappears

Standing by the French window with her eyes closed, listening to the last note played by the boy in the moonlight, Jiada opened her eyes, revealing her emerald-like eyes.

"What a sweet Moonlight!"

As if she had just come out of the music, Jiada turned around and sat on the table, speaking in a tone of praise and admiration.

"Huh... Tell me, you have spent two days investigating. Have you found out where the Fourth True Ancestor is now?"

Exhaling, Jiada glanced at her vampire follower who was half-kneeling on the ground. He seemed to be still immersed in the clear moonlight just now. She just asked casually.

As soon as these words were spoken, the two female vampires' bodies suddenly stiffened. They looked at each other, pursed their lips, and still spoke with courage.

"My Lady Princess, the investigation into the Fourth True Ancestor has not made any progress. Please give us a few more days to investigate. We will soon be able to find the Fourth True Ancestor's location."

Without replying, Jiada just looked at them quietly, and the atmosphere in the room gradually became cold.

"never mind……"

When the two vampires were almost unable to bear the depressing atmosphere in the room, Jada took the initiative to speak and put their hearts at ease.

"Keep looking for me. Once you find the location of the Fourth True Ancestor, no matter which faction it belongs to, notify me immediately and I will personally take the Fourth True Ancestor away."

"Yes, Princess!"

The two female vampires knelt on the ground, nodded in unison, and replied to Jiada loudly.

"Also, send a message to Emma and ask her to look through the antiques I put in the Chaos Realm. I remember there is something in there that can decompose the immortality of the Fourth True Ancestor. Bring it to me if you find it. Also..."

At this point, Jiada paused, closed her eyes and recalled. Thousands of years had passed since the decomposition of the Fourth True Ancestor. She could not quite remember how the three True Ancestors had divided the Fourth True Ancestor into twelve parts.

"It's been so long that some parts of that thing must have been damaged. We need to go find the First and Second True Ancestors and ask them for the other necessary items to decompose the Fourth True Ancestor."

After giving the order, the two vampires below did not act immediately, and one of them objected with a hesitant look on his face.

"Princess, the First True Ancestor is currently on the World Battlefield, and the Second True Ancestor is still unaware of the Fourth True Ancestor's mysterious disappearance. Should we tell the other two about this operation to destroy the Fourth True Ancestor? Otherwise, it could develop into a diplomatic incident."

Jiada sneered at the concerns of her subordinates with a cold look in her eyes.

“Qi Yi and the others won’t object. Just because we think it’s funny doesn’t mean we’ll let them do whatever they want.

Let them dream of stealing our things. I would rather destroy the Fourth True Ancestor and wait for thousands of years than give it to them."

Things have come to this point, and if the subordinates continue to refute, it cannot be explained by worrying about accidents. The female vampire on the left winked, and the female vampire on the right understood and immediately stood up and left to send the message.

"Let me think, what else is there..."

After the female vampire left, Jiada sighed and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, thinking about the terrible energy that had just erupted from somewhere on the island and the handsome young man sitting in the moonlight playing the piano.

"A troubled autumn..."

Although she used a melancholy tone, Jiada's mouth corners couldn't stop rising.

“It’s really… so interesting!”

What happened in just half a month has already brought Jiada a long-lost sense of freshness and fun. She simply couldn't imagine how much more fun was waiting for her in the future.

"But...if it really comes to that, what should I give as a replacement for the fourth true ancestor that I promised to give to the boy in exchange for blood?"
