The second reason was that he had already obtained valuable information that could be used, and in order to maximize the value of this valuable information, he needed to find someone to cooperate with him - this person was none other than the head of the Ryudo Hall of Teruya Ryuque, Shiiki Ruri.

Previously, Jiang Ran successfully sneaked into Tetodaff's secret base and found a lot of explosive information in Tetodaff's room.

Among the intelligence, there was irrefutable evidence that the Queen of the Kingdom of West and the third prince of the Farnas Empire were having an affair, and there was also evidence that the King of the Vanya Emirate was actually a woman disguised as a man. However, these explosive intelligences had nothing to do with Jiang Ran for the time being. The intelligence that was truly useful to Jiang Ran was the following:

"The secret of the genius power of Shiiki Ruri, the head of the Ryudo Hall of Teruya Ryusaku"

·

·

When Jiang Ran first identified Shiiki Ruri's basic information, he was very surprised why this 19-year-old girl had such powerful strength and identity.

The 19-year-old Shiiki Ruri not only possesses the combat capability of a fourth-order level 140, but is also the owner of two "Cat Girls' Restaurant" chains.

In addition to his public identity as a restaurant owner, Shiiki Ruri is secretly the head of the Ryu-do branch of the secret intelligence organization, Teruya Ryusaku. This position of head of a branch branch can be said to be the second-tier position in Teruya Ryusaku, second only to the head head, Tetodaf.

Such a dazzling resume for a girl who is only 19 years old can no longer be summarized as a "genius". Based on Jiang Ran's knowledge of the Prison Star World, even a "Son of God" from a big family like Viviana can only tie with Shiiki Ruri.

So, could it be that Shiiki Ruri is also the son of God of some big family or powerful force?

Jiang Ran denied this possibility through identification ability and direct contact. The only possibility left was that the organization Zhaoye Liuque had super training capabilities and could train people with potential to be no less capable than the Son of God of the big family.

Unfortunately, after Jiang Er had many contacts with Zhao Ye Liuque, he also denied this possibility.

As an intelligence organization, Zhaoye Liuque pays more attention to the cultivation of intelligence capabilities, infiltration capabilities, etc. As for frontal combat capabilities, they are just icing on the cake.

Therefore, the mystery of Shiiki Ruri's strength had actually been lingering in Jiang Ran's mind for a long time, until he discovered the scroll of Tetodaf's cooperation with the "Dark Rabbit Clan", and finally solved this difficult mystery.

·

When Jiang Ran had previously infiltrated the "Spiral Underground Library", he had already speculated that the Dove-Winged Man, Tetodaf, might have a deep cooperative relationship with the Dark Rabbit Clan, and that this cooperative relationship might contain many unspeakable secrets.

In the room of Tetodaf's secret base, Jiang Ran found a scroll about the production of the "secret medicine" developed by Tetodaf and the Dark Rabbit Clan. The scroll detailed the development process, effects and usage of the secret medicine.

In the usage record list, Jiang Ran saw many names, but all of them were crossed out. In the end, only one name was left, and that was "Shiiki Ruri".

9.251 - Secret Medicine

Before Jiang Ran saw the scroll on the development process of the secret medicine, he thought that the names crossed out on the list might have been excluded simply because they were unsuitable.

However, the truth is that everyone on the list took the secret medicine, and those whose names were crossed out were all killed by the side effects of the secret medicine.

Shiiki Ruri is the only survivor who overcame the side effects of the secret medicine and is still alive today.

·

In that year, when the magpie-winged man Magae founded the Cat Girl Restaurant in Mel Town, Shiiki Ruri, who arrived in Mel Town following the "Great Migration", was taken in by Magae.

At that time, Shiiki Ruri was only five years old. Due to the long-term precarious life she had lived during the great migration, and the fact that she had accidentally eaten a lot of poisonous plants and fruits, her fragile body had become like a candle in the wind.

At that time, the head master of Zhaoye Liuque, Tetodaf, was in need of test subjects for his secret medicines, so he gave a lot of secret medicines to Magai, the then head master of Liutang, and asked her to conduct experiments on the people he took in.

However, Tetodaf did not tell Magai the truth. He only told Magai that it was a magical medicine that could improve physical fitness and heal injuries. Even if it could not produce a therapeutic effect, it would not cause any harm to the body.

The ignorant Magai provided the secret medicine to a large number of weak people. Even though many people died after taking the secret medicine, she did not attribute the cause to the secret medicine.

After all, these poor people who experienced the Great Migration already had one foot in the coffin. Moreover, Magai's loyalty to Tetodaf would not make her doubt it easily.

·

The record scroll states that all the experiments that Tetodaf conducted himself ended in failure, which made him place his hopes on Magai.

What surprised Tetodaf was that there was actually someone on Magai's side who could withstand the side effects of the secret medicine. This person was a five-year-old cat-man girl, Shiiki Ruri.

Because the effect of the secret medicine was too special, Tetodaf did not dare to show too much, for fear that Magai would notice something unusual.

He simply allocated a lot of funds to Magee in the name of the head master so that she could maintain the business of the Cat Girl Restaurant more smoothly. In fact, his purpose in doing so was to give Shiiki Ruri a better growth environment.

Afterwards, living up to Tetodav's expectations, the once sickly Shiiki Ruri quickly recovered her health and showed extremely amazing fighting "talent".

Taking this as a starting point, Tetodav naturally gave Shiiki Ruri the treatment that a genius deserved, and used all the resources of Teruya Ryuque to train her to become the youngest successor to the branch leader in the organization's history.

Until this time, Magee, who had already treated Shiiki Ruri as her own daughter, was completely unaware of Tetodave's plan. She was very proud of Shiiki Ruri's growth and was very grateful to Tetodave for the cultivation he gave to the child.

However, there is no impenetrable wall, and paper cannot cover up fire. During one of his operations, Tetodaf accidentally let Magai discover his contact with the Dark Rabbit Clan. After that, Magai secretly investigated and learned the truth about those secret medicines.

·

The secret medicine developed by Tetoduff and the Dark Rabbit Clan is called "Linkanasen", which means "medicine of rebirth".

This medicine comes in two doses, called "essence medicine" and "fetal medicine" respectively.

The medicine that Tetodaf provided to Magai was the "fetal medicine" of "Linkanasen". The effect of this "fetal medicine" is to immediately enhance the physical ability of the user and reduce pain after taking it, but the price is a rapid consumption of the user's vitality, or in other words, life.

Generally speaking, most people cannot survive more than three months after taking "fetal medicine". Even those who are relatively strong cannot survive more than half a year.

What Tetodav wants to find is someone who can withstand the side effects of the "fetal medicine", because as long as he survives for half a year, it means that he has completely defeated the side effects of the "fetal medicine", and then the real effect of this medicine will begin to take effect - this effect is to greatly enhance the potential of the user, allowing him to obtain growth comparable to the "reincarnated son of God".

At this point, the effect of "Linkanesen Fetal Medicine" has become clear, but what benefits does it bring to Tetodaf himself?

If he just wanted to train a strong successor for Zhaoye Liuque, why did he hide it from Liutang Master Magai?

The answer to this question lies in "Linkansen Essence Medicine".

·

Unlike the "fetal medicine" which has terrible side effects, the "sperm medicine" has no side effects at all.

The effect of the "essence medicine" is simple and clear. It allows the user to transfer their soul into the body of the user who takes the "fetal medicine" and occupy that body.

However, if someone takes the "fetal medicine" first and then takes the "essence medicine" on their own, they can eliminate the vitality-depleting effect of the "fetal medicine", but correspondingly they will not be able to transform their physical abilities.

From a pharmacological point of view, Linkanesen Essence Medicine and Taiyao are actually a set of poisons and antidotes, but due to their special "physical ability enhancement" and "soul transfer effects", this set of secret medicines has become fascinating.

With this explanation, Tetodav's plan has come to light. What he really wants to do is to cultivate a reincarnation vessel for himself and then be reborn.

After investigating the true effects of this group of medicines, Liutang Master Magai immediately understood Tetodaf's intentions and began to plan an action to steal the "essence medicine".

Unfortunately, Tetodaf noticed Magae's abnormality before she did, and then took advantage of the situation to lure Magae to the Night Crying Mountains, where she died under the vines of the "Alchemy Coupled Monster, Silci".

·

The "Alchemy Coupled Monster - Silci" has a special skill that can absorb the person it devours and then create a very similar puppet.

[Note: For details, see chapter 9.249 - A Story]

After Magai was killed by the monster Silci, Tetodaf waited patiently until the monster created a puppet, and then found an opportunity to take the puppet out of the Night Crying Mountains, covering up the fact that he had killed Magai, and made up an accident in which Magai unfortunately died in other missions.

At this point, the obstacles on Tetodav's path to reincarnation have been basically cleared. All that remains is to wait until Shiiki Ruri has grown up enough and things in the organization are ready, then Tetodav can execute the final step of the plan.

Now that he knew this secret, Jiang Ran felt a little scared.

His previous infiltration into the Spiral Underground Library accidentally made Shiiki Ruri the primary suspect.

At that time, Tetodav immediately found Shiiki Ruri to ensure that his container was still under control.

If something had gone wrong at that time, Shiiki Ruri's body might have been directly taken over by Tetodaf.

[Death Future Remaining: 5 Days]

[Confession death countdown remaining: 25 days]

"Curse of the Ancestral Wolf: 71 Days Remaining"

━━━━━━━━━━

Under the clear autumn sky, Jiang Ran, who had left the Night Crying Mountains, was on his way back to Mel Town.

This time, he failed to directly capture the chief master of Zhaoye Liuque, Tetodaf, which had a significant impact on his action plan, but overall, his pace was not disrupted.

Moreover, in the long run, Jiang Ran felt that the failure of the assassination attempt on Tetodav might be a good thing, because if Jiang Ran wanted to get Shiiki Ruri to switch to his side, he would still need Tetodav's "help".

(There is not much time left, we must race against time.)

Thinking of this, Jiang Ran couldn't help but quicken his pace.

·

At the same time, in the sky above the Night Crying Mountains, the Dove-Winged Man Tetodaf was slowly flying towards the nearest Zhaoye Liuque stronghold, intending to find a place to stay and sleep first.

From last night till now, Tetodaf not only did not sleep, but also had almost no rest for a moment. His magic power and endurance were about to run out at any time, and he really couldn't hold on any longer.

When he was lying in ambush outside the cave just now, Tetodaf had already made up his mind. If the half-human, half-plant monster failed to deal with the pursuers, he would give up the counterattack plan and wait for a chance in the future to settle the score with these enemies who were chasing him relentlessly.

As the saying goes, the more you fear something, the more likely it is to happen. After Tetodaf made this decision, the outcome of the battle in the cave really took the direction he least wanted to see:

The half-human, half-plant monster, "Alchemy Coupled Monster, Xierci", was defeated, and was defeated very quickly, not even being able to last more than five minutes.

·

While the "Alchemy Coupled Monster Silci" was fighting its pursuers, Tetodaf was lying in ambush outside the cave.

Being outside, he had no way of spying on the battle inside the cave, but this did not prevent him from knowing the outcome of the battle, because he had a rune stone infused with magic power in his hand. When the rune stone shattered on its own, it meant that the "Refined Coupled Monster·Xierci" was dead.

Back when Tetodaf was trying to bind the rune stone to the "Alchemy Coupling Monster - Silci", he suffered a lot and almost lost his life. However, after the task was completed, the rune stone did make things a lot easier for him.

As the rune stone shattered in Tetodaf's hand, Tetodaf had no choice but to accept the result even if he didn't want to believe it. He then evacuated the scene as soon as possible to avoid being caught by the pursuers.

Now that the "external forces" have been destroyed, Tetodaf can only return to the organization's arms. However, even in defeat, Tetodaf still obtained some valuable information, such as:

——The pursuers’ strength has reached at least the sixth level.

·

"At least level six combat strength," such a seemingly simple piece of information can be interpreted in great detail by Tetodaf.

According to the regional combat power situation that Tetodaf knew, in the rear countries east of the front line of the war with the Hell Abyss Empire, whether it was the Farnas Empire, the Vannia Emirate or the West Kingdom, people who could reach the sixth-level combat level were rare.

[img=1200,521]https://rss.sfacg.com/web/novel/images/UploadPic/2024/02/17c8f807-3682-48f8-9593-725df33ca839.jpg[/img]

Since there are powerful people of level six or even above in the pursuer's troops, it means that the organization that sent out the pursuers is definitely not an ordinary organization.

As far as Tetodaf knew, with the current decline of the Cat People, it was impossible for there to be any Level 6 combat professionals among the active members of the Cicada Corps.

In other words, Tetodav's previous judgment was once again verified here. The cat people of the Cicada Corps were indeed used as guns by some other organization.

So, who is this mysterious organization that wants to target Teruya Ryuque?

Tetodafu thought about it over and over again, but could only come up with the same answer in his mind, and that answer was the "Snake Shadow Society".

·

Putting aside the ruling class forces of the three countries, the Vannia Chiefdom, the Farnas Empire and the West Kingdom, Tetodaf believed that the most likely one was the Snake Shadow Society.

Given that Zhaoye Liuque had a good relationship with the ruling class of the three countries in the rear, Tetodaf directly ruled out these three options. The only one left was the Snake Shadow Society, with which he had had a minor friction not long ago.

At that time, the Snake Shadow Society contacted the personnel of Zhaoye Liuque to place an order. There were some unpleasantness due to the price issue. Fortunately, the deal was finally reached, and Tetodaf thought that the matter was over.

But now, after using the process of elimination to make Tetodaf think of the Snake Shadow Society again, he realized that things might not be that simple. However... if the people who were chasing him this time were really sent by the Snake Shadow Society, then what was the real motive of the Snake Shadow Society for doing this?

·

The reason why Tetodaf used the concept of "real motive" was because he felt that the friction over the price issue would not cause Snake Shadow to take action against Ye Liuque.

Even if Snake Shadow really brings up the price issue later, it will only be an excuse.

What is the true motive of the Snake Shadow Society? Is it to eliminate Tetodav and then take advantage of the chaos to swallow up Zhaoye Liuque, or is there something else going on?

——(Could it be that during the previous price negotiation, they took the opportunity to infiltrate our organization?)

After thinking about this, Tetodav suddenly felt as if he had been enlightened.

If the three incidents of "the Spiral Underground Library being broken into", "the Post Office Information Center being attacked" and "himself being attacked" were all the work of the Snake Shadow Society, then everything seems to be explainable!

With the strength of the Snake Shadow Society, it is not impossible to incite or control the lower-level members of Zhaoye Liuque. The price they communicated was fake, and poaching was real. No wonder this wealthy organization would cause trouble for such a small amount of money at that time. It turns out that they have other intentions!

[Heavenly Ghost, Earthly Ghost: No, no, no, we are really poor???]

The more Tetodav thought about it, the more he felt that he had found the right idea. All the recent events can now be connected together logically!

However, after figuring out who the enemy he was facing this time was, the pressure on Tetodav's shoulders became even greater.

Unlike Zhaoye Liuque, who is only good at intelligence work, the Sheying Society is strong in all aspects. If a head-on battle were to break out, Zhaoye Liuque would not be a match for the Sheying Society at all.

Therefore, even though he now knew the "truth", Tetodaf could only fly to the base to recuperate. If he wanted to deal with the Snake Shadow Society, he still needed to make long-term plans.
