Chapter 351: Suspicion of the Butler, Opening the Void

Dachun then found himself lying in a luxurious room with a wheelchair.

A polite and unfamiliar voice came from the side: "Mr. Dachun, you are awake!"

A housekeeper?

The butler bowed and said, "I am the butler of Miss Remya's mansion. Just now, Miss Remya defeated the evil god... After the battle, Miss Remya immediately teleported you back to the mansion to rest and settle you. Currently, Miss Remya is handing over post-war work to the church."

Holy crap! I missed out on a big thing by sleeping! Luckily, it didn't affect my win.

Dachun asked hurriedly, "Does that mean I don't have to go to jail?"

The butler shook his head. "This is just a hasty arrangement made after the battle because Miss Remya was too busy. The specific arrangements will have to wait until dawn. Miss instructed that if you feel that your room is too stuffy, you can walk around the mansion. If you need anything else, you can ring the bell to summon me. Well, I will not disturb you anymore!"

After saying this, the butler bowed and left.

Ah, that's right. After all, I'm a meritorious blasphemous human shield. I can't just throw it back to prison after using it. That would be too inhumane and impolite. But it's the middle of the night now. What's the point of wandering around the mansion?
Ok? !

Dachun suddenly realized!

How could this be just a way for me to wander around? It was clearly Remya trying to use this opportunity to get me to find Beelzebub! Sure enough, Fafnir's Valhalla gathering had worked. If Beelzebub wasn't in the Valhalla restroom, then there definitely was in the real mansion!

At this moment, Ailian also spoke: "I didn't dare to take over the previous battle, fearing that the Saint would discover it."

Dachun said with relief: "It's right not to take over. Does Ailian feel uncomfortable and targeted since coming here?"

After all, Dilian showed signs of discomfort when she noticed Beelzebub approaching.

Ailian said: "Yes! The housekeeper has been watching over me and is very uncomfortable."

From what you said, it seems as if the butler is Beelzebub... huh?

Dachun was stunned. Isn't this impossible? After all, Libra was a high-ranking Beelzebub, and he was just posing as a head maid. So, the most convenient identity for Beelzebub to sneak into the Remya mansion was to be the butler!

But that's the problem! If the butler is Beelzebub, and the fight is successful, then it's a great success! He's completely cleared of all charges and even won Remia's trust!
If you hit the wrong person...you will be charged with additional crimes and continue to go to jail!

I'd better stop guessing and go walk around the mansion. Maybe I can find something. But that's not right. Assuming the butler is Beelzebub and is already wary of me, then I'll reveal my intentions by walking around! Assuming the butler isn't Beelzebub, with Beelzebub's cunning, can I find him by walking around?

So no matter what, going out doesn't seem to be a reliable option?

Dachun was conflicted, so he decided to contact Bubu using the Book of Seals to ask her what she thought.

As for now, let's read a book. Since Ailian is here, Dachun took out the treasure appraisal book and said, "Ailian, are you free now? Read a book!"

Ailian smiled: "I've been wanting to see it for a long time! I'm also thinking of adding more styles to the Undersea Garden."

Okay, I'll read. Reading can dispel Beelzebub or the butler's suspicions.

Then Dachun switched to Xiaohao, who was still drilling with a ground-penetrating radar. After reaching the master level of astrology, the radar's "transparency" was further enhanced, revealing a large, square, and magnificent structure nearby.

Dachun was surprised. There is an underground city in this city?

Then looking at Xiaohua, the Chouhuang was finally not the iron-clad academic genius anymore, and he also fell asleep on the sofa.

That’s good, I finally saw him sleeping. Otherwise, if a centenarian old man really couldn’t sleep, I’d be afraid something would happen.

Di Lian spoke, "Father is here! I noticed there seems to be an underground building nearby, but there's a strong and obvious spatial barrier. I don't dare get close. However, there are many cracks in the rock and soil near the barrier, making it easier for me to drill through. I feel like I'm about to drill through the ground! But the phantom won't last long."

Dachun immediately checked the phantom time, and it was less than two hours.

Looking forward, the radar was blank, which meant we were about to penetrate.

Dachun was a bit confused. Originally, he'd drilled underground to have a place to hide when the phantom disappeared, but after drilling through, he'd reached the bottom of the floating city. This brought up a question Xiaofan had asked, pointing at the globe: If someone stood at the North Pole, their head would be facing upwards. Wouldn't standing at the South Pole also be facing downwards?
Although this question does not apply to the Earth, it does apply to the globe, and it also applies to this not-so-big floating celestial body!

What to do with head down?

Dachun had no choice but to order: "Once you drill through, make a hole first, at least there should be a place to sit."

Di Lian said, "Actually, if I activate the Earth Rune Technique, I can directly crush the loose soil in the gap I drilled through and dig out a passage."

Dachun was very nervous: "No! The barrier of this nearby dungeon might be monitored by magic. We should try not to use magic if possible."

"I know, father. There's still enough time."

That’s enough. Let’s open the Sealed Book and ask Libalaxi first.

At this moment, on the "Video Surveillance" page of the sealed book, Librahi was standing by the sidelines of a ball resembling a palace ball, surrounded by a group of maids. On the dance floor, aristocrats in gorgeous attire were dancing joyfully.

Dachun suddenly felt very sympathetic towards her. She was like a nightclub foreman. What effect could she have by lurking like that? Just like Ailian said, could she hear the gentlemen talking in the audience while she was dancing on the stage?

Then her humming translation came from the book: "Master, good evening!"

This translation sound is encrypted, professional.

Dachun asked directly: "Suppose there is a Beelzebub who sneaks into the mansion of a noble lady. What is the best way for him to hide his identity?"

She smiled: "Of course it's the butler or the head maid!"

What the hell!

Dachun asked again: "How do we deal with him? I mean the butler."

She was in a dilemma. "Master, Beelzebub has three ways of hiding. One is like me, using energy to create a body. In places like the Golden Throne, it is regarded as a sign of divinity, even an angelic body. Another is hiding the body, which is the method used by the rookie. The third is still parasitic possession. If this butler is parasitic, it may harm the host."

Dachun was also embarrassed: "Then there is no other way?"

She smiled and said, "If the master no longer trusts the housekeeper, just fire him."

Dachun was stunned: "What if he was wrongly accused? Wouldn't that chill the heart of a loyal servant?
She smiled: "Actually, the master can also test it."

Dachun became interested: "How to test it?"

She smiled and said, "If she is a very beautiful and noble lady, as long as she doesn't take a bath for a few days, the housekeeper's mood will fluctuate." Uh... so has Remya taken a bath in the past two days?
Dachun continued to ask, "What if the noble lady not only doesn't take a bath, but also applies strong perfume on her body?"

The sound of her laughter changed. "The noble lady's sweat mixed with the scent of perfume, the smell of this feces is a bit... I'm sorry, Master, I'm rude."

Oh my god! Remia has already started preparing!
Her voice turned serious. "But Master, becoming a butler is not easy for Beelzebub. I can't offer any more advice."

"Okay, you're busy!"

Dachun closed the book. Although he really wanted to ask her if she had any suggestions for developing outside the city after lurking for so long, he decided not to ask. He couldn't trust her in that regard.

Honestly, even asking about this butler, Beelzebub, felt somewhat inappropriate. If I'd just asked about "noble ladies who don't bathe or use perfume," and word immediately spread that I'd killed the butler at the Remia Mansion, then the Beelzebub family would have immediately linked my account to both my main and secondary accounts!
When Dachun thought of this, he realized that it was not just inappropriate, it was extremely inappropriate!
Dachun switched back to his main account and fell into deep thought while looking at the previous system message. He was already qualified for pardon. Theoretically, if he fought for it and the mermaid showed some favoritism, he wouldn't have to go to jail?

Then I suddenly discovered that the "Basic Leviathan Power" in the system message had an additional 100% increased purification effect, and the skill "Toilet Cleaning Experience" was enhanced by the scavenger profession!

The small account does not have the scavenger bonus, and it can easily deal 4 times, 5 times, or even 10 times the damage. The large account scavenger has a 100% bonus, so how many times can it deal?
Damn, I really want to try this power!
Dachun suddenly had an epiphany and decided that no matter whether it was right or wrong, he should take action!

Because even if I was right to hit her, the target was the butler on the surface, and it was impossible for Remya to expose the family scandal and publicly expose the existence of Beelzebub. So even if I did a good job and she fell in love with me, I still had to go to jail - the key point is that from Remya's point of view, continuing to go to jail can actually solve the problem of her "pardoning" me!
After all, the Ten Lords will never allow me to be pardoned. If Remya makes any suspicious moves, the matter of Valhalla will be exposed, and Eve Fafna will be implicated!

So this is Eve's style. The closer the relationship, the more she wants to draw a clear line and avoid suspicion.

As for hitting the wrong person, you will just go to jail and make the best of it!

Now that I've figured it out, I'll ring the bell to call the butler over. The moment he opens the door, I'll throw a flaming car and a bottle at him...

That's not right. The butler should be on guard at all times at this time. He should wait until dawn. At that time, the butler should think that I have no idea about the young lady's intention of "going out for a walk" and his vigilance should be the lowest.

Ok, deal.

As for now, Dachun suddenly felt that something was missing. Yes, lunch? It's already past 12 o'clock!

Dachun picked up Zhou Qing's phone and saw a message on it: "Brother Chun, if you wake up, please reply and ask for dinner."

Ah! I have to say, Zhou Qing is really meticulous. She probably knew that something big had happened even when I wasn't online, so she guessed that I was sleeping and didn't worry about letting the guy deliver food and wake me up.

Dachun was moved and replied: "Leader, I'm awake."

Zhou Qing immediately replied: "Okay, Chun Ge, the food will be delivered right away."

"Thank you for your concern, leader."

"Brother Chun, why are you still being so polite..."

The next moment, the young man knocked on the door excitedly: "Brother Chun, lunch is here!"

Dachun opened the door with a smile, and the younger brother excitedly said, "Brother Chun, you're so awesome! You killed the evil god without even going online, and you gave some people a slap in the face."

Dachun laughed: "There's nothing I can do about it. I really had no idea."

The young man shook his head: "That's not what I meant. Some people think Chun Ge is in jail, so they started making some noise. Anyway, it's nothing serious. Chun Ge, take your time and eat."

Dachun laughed in surprise. Perhaps this is just human nature. But I'm going to continue to be imprisoned later. I don't know how fun it will be...

The home-cooked meal of three dishes and one soup is very much to Dachun's liking.

After eating, Di Lian's message also came: "Father, I got through."

Dachun looked down and saw the Earth below! This astronaut's perspective was terrifying.

Looking to the side, I suddenly saw a pile of giant metal circles, which looked like rocket nozzles!

Holy shit, this Golden Throne actually has jet power! So the dungeon just now is the power source?
Dachun suddenly had a crazy, terrifying thought: If I follow this vent into the power room and tinker with it, could I bring down the Golden Throne? That would be like launching a large-scale war against the Golden Throne. Then, at least the souls of the five city beauties could take advantage of the chaos...

But this crazy thought only flashed through his mind. How could a tiny person like me possibly cause damage to such a heavily protected, high-tech component? He'd probably be burned to ashes the moment he climbed inside.

As expected, Dachun discovered that all the rocks near the vent were melted into ceramic glass by high temperature, which firmly welded the vent in place.

Then Dachun's earth vein perception found that the rock at the junction of "ceramic" and ordinary rock appeared soft and had many cracks. Maybe it was caused by vibration and thermal expansion?
Dachun said, "Dilian, let's crawl over there and dig a hole to live in."

"Okay father."

As for the future, I might have to prepare for not being able to enter Valhalla and contact Eve and the others. While the transformation time is still there, I should contact them. Or perhaps listen to their suggestions for hiding and developing.

"Dilian, can we still go find Eve now?"

"Yes, but it's quite far and will take some time."

I finally feel the feeling of distance...

A few minutes later, Dachun finally changed the scene and appeared in Eve's study.

At this time, Eve was not sleeping and was still studying hard.

Eve noticed Dachun's arrival and typed with uncontrollable excitement, "You destroyed the evil god of Silver City!"

Dachunguai was embarrassed: "I didn't do anything. It was Silver Flower who did it. Actually, I just told you my plan. I suspect that Remya's housekeeper is Beelzebub. If I make a mistake and end up in jail again, don't be surprised, Miss Eve."

Eve was shocked. "That's impossible for her housekeeper! But, okay, I'll understand."

Dachun wrote again: "I've already reached the bottom vent of the floating city. I might not be able to contact you for a while. Miss Eve, do you have any suggestions for development?"

Eve was shocked again: "That place...you are really unexpected!"

Dachun was also helpless: "This is the only place to avoid surveillance, right?"

Eve frowned. "If we want to develop, we can consider drifting to the nearby void asteroid belt. However, the process of drifting there is very dangerous."

Dachun was surprised: "It can float?"

Eve wrote: "This is the void, zero gravity, you can float."

Ah, it really is a simulated space? Where does the high-tech gravity of the throne come from?
