Chapter 825 Is Xue Rou Dead? Or a Mole? Bai Wan Pursues the Truth

"What? The reason for the war with Gran Kingdom is actually related to the secret of the Captain-Commander's suicide?"

Not only Bai Wan, but Su Yuening was also unsure. Both of them looked at Li Shoushi, who then continued:

"The four strongest leaders of the World Demon Hunter League are known as the Four Emperors, you should know that, right? The former Captain-Commander was also one of the Four Emperors."

Su Yuening nodded.

There is an organization in the world called the World Demon Hunters Alliance, which is composed of powerful nations. Among them, the four top leaders are known as the Four Emperors.

Li Shoushi continued, "The Four Emperors represent the four strongest nations, and our Dragon Kingdom is one of them. However, our power is the weakest among the Four Emperors because our country did not have any gods at that time."

"The other three countries are all incredibly powerful, but besides the Four Emperors, there is one country that is particularly special. It is a no-man's-land where all the world's most wanted criminals gather. It can be said that they commit all kinds of evil and it is a lawless land."

“I’ve heard of the location of many S-level wanted criminals.” Su Yuening nodded.

However, this was the first time Bai Wan had heard of it. After all, he wasn't particularly interested in the world's political landscape, so he asked with some doubt:
"A country made up of wanted criminals still exists? Are they really that brazen? If so, why not just wipe them out?"

Li Shoushi lowered his voice again: "That's why I brought them up. The other three countries are all incredibly powerful, but besides the Four Emperors, there is one country that is the most special. It is a no-man's-land where all the world's wanted criminals gather. It is a lawless land."

"Many righteous top demon hunters wanted to attack that wanted criminal's country, but they all disappeared without a trace. There was even a relative of one of the Four Emperors who was hunted down by the wanted criminal, who was hiding in no man's land."

"Back then, that Yonko (Emperor of the Sea) forced his way into the unclaimed land, and ultimately disappeared without a trace..."

Upon hearing this, Bai Wan and Su Yuening both frowned. This country formed by wanted criminals seemed to be quite extraordinary.

Li Shoushi, with a solemn expression, introduced Bai Wan as follows:

"That country is extremely chaotic, made up of wanted criminals, and has not formed any organization, so it is called the Land of No Master. But everyone says that there is a King of No Master in that Land of No Master, who secretly protects the wanted criminals. That King of No Master has immense divine power."

"A king without a master? That sounds quite mysterious..."

Bai Wan was also feeling a bit of a headache. The S-class wanted criminals were all very strong, but behind those wanted criminals was a hidden emperor.
"So, what does this have to do with the captain's suicide?" Bai Wan couldn't help but ask.

"Don't rush, listen to me. The Captain-Commander is a very righteous person. He is one of the Four Emperors, so he also wants to do something for the world. Therefore, he proposed that the Four Emperors work together to conquer the unclaimed lands."

"Oh? And then?"

Li Shoushi took a sip of water and said with a strange look in his eyes:

"...Just one week after the Captain-Commander made the suggestion, our country's demon hunters began to die mysteriously one after another, as if some mysterious person was targeting us."

Upon hearing this, Bai Wan suddenly thought of a person.

"blank??"

Li Shoushi nodded: "Yes, it's the one named Blank. Nobody knows who he is, and his name doesn't appear in any game. Yet, our country's genius demon hunters are dying one after another, as if it's a warning to us."

Bai Wan suddenly realized that he had never known who this so-called Blank was. He had only encountered a fake Blank in the haunted school, but he had never met the real Blank.

"This matter has put us in a somewhat passive position, and the Captain-Commander has begun to investigate the rumored Unclaimed Emperor."

"One day, the Captain-Commander suddenly told me that he had found a clue. It turned out that the Captain-Commander had a good relationship with the Kingdom of Gran. Even the Queen and eldest daughter of the Kingdom of Gran had participated in a dungeon called Onizuka in the Land of No Man's Land with the Captain-Commander."

"It's a world-class instance that any demon hunter from around the globe can participate in."

"A rulerless emperor... does such a person really exist in this world?" Su Yuening was curious about what happened next, and then asked, "And then?"

Li Shoushi said with some helplessness, "In that instance... only the captain came out alive. Moreover, Li Wei, the captain of the Grand Kingdom, and his wife both died in that instance. Their eldest daughter was also on the verge of death and barely managed to leave the instance."

"The Kingdom of Gran ultimately used their divine artifact, the 'Projection Mirror,' to project the historical events of that time. The final image showed the Captain-General killing the Captain-General of Gran and his wife for some opportune moment. Thus, the Kingdom of Dragon and the Kingdom of Gran began their war." Bai Wan felt there was a lot of information to absorb after hearing this, so she sorted it out.

"To put it simply, the Captain-General entered a world-class instance in order to find the identity of the Unclaimed Emperor. In that instance, he killed the Captain-General of the Grand Kingdom and his wife, and their eldest daughter was left barely alive. Now, the successor Captain-General, who is their second daughter, Viya, has started a war against the Dragon Kingdom, right?"

Li Shoushi nodded, then shook his head and said, "The captain isn't that kind of person. He's very righteous and wouldn't steal someone else's opportunity to do something like that."

"Then why doesn't our country explain this?" Su Yuening couldn't help but ask.

"Sigh... Why didn't we explain? They only believe what they see in front of them. Their memory projection mirrors don't make mistakes, so this misunderstanding is very deep. More importantly, the Captain-Commander disappeared after leaving the instance, so we can't explain it either, since the person involved is no longer here."

Bai Wan remained silent for the time being, quietly absorbing the information.

As Li Shoushi spoke, Bai Wan pieced together the puzzle in his mind, one piece at a time.

The mysterious Unclaimed Emperor, the mysterious Void, the Captain-Commander's suicide, Zhang Xuerou's identity, the mysteriously fallen black smiling face, the hidden truth of the world...

They are all connected.

Finally, Bai Wan couldn't help but think of Zhang Xuerou, who appeared in the image, and the white six-pointed star on her body.

If the Unruly Emperor truly exists, then Xue Rou is indeed the traitor.

The captain committed suicide after returning from the no-man's-land, and the messenger was Xue Rou.

Based on the available information, it can be inferred that both Xue Rou and the mysterious Unclaimed Emperor may be members of an organization called the World Truth Organization.

Bai Wan thought about it and realized that he couldn't get the answers from this information, so he could only go to Haili Kingdom in person to seek the answers.

Li Shoushi then said, "That's roughly the situation. Because our two countries are at war, you can't cross their border."

"Unless you can sneak in, Princess Viya of the Kingdom of Gran is currently recruiting new personal bodyguards, and the country's most powerful demon hunters are competing for the position."

"If you can sneak in, you might be able to go to Haili Kingdom with Princess Viya."

"The Kingdom of Gran is extremely powerful, and the whole world doesn't understand why they are so strong. Moreover, they have so many gods, as numerous as hairs on a cow. Becoming a personal bodyguard can even allow you to inherit the power of a god. You must be careful."

To gain divine power by becoming a guard is truly extravagant.

After hearing this, Bai Wan suddenly thought of her newly acquired ability.

Infiltrating might be difficult for others, but he might be able to create an NPC and descend upon the Kingdom of Gran, then blend into Princess Viya's guards to participate in the guard assessment.

At the same time, Bai Wan heard that the Gran Kingdom actually had a great many gods, and couldn't help but feel a little expectant.

Wouldn't it be easy for one's own underwear deity to absorb divine power and obtain new underwear deity skills?
"I might be able to infiltrate Gran, so leave the investigation of the Captain-Commander's truth to me."

Bai Wan said to Li Shoushi.

Only then did he remember that Princess Viya had heard of her, because in the notes of many top ghost hunters in the world of death on the disc given by Fang Hanxin, the last name was Viya, with a question mark above it.

What does this mean? Does it mean that Viya will be the next victim, or that Viya herself is questionable?
Let him see who this so-called one of the Four Emperors, the most famous and hailed as the strongest and most beautiful demon hunter in the world, Via, really is.

If Viya is the next to die, then as her personal bodyguard, I can witness firsthand the truth of the world that led to the suicide of a top ghost hunter.

Then, with the help of Viya, they went to Haili Kingdom to find Xue Rou.

He wanted an answer: death or a mole.
