Chapter 790: Chess Player and Chess Pieces

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lu Shu had an unpleasant premonition, as Lu Xiaoyu’s spirit had been produced because of the celestial map. They had always been very careful so that they would not be discovered by others.

In reality, the combination of Anthony and Johnson was easy to hide. An earth-type Metahuman could easily hide underground with Johnson. Furthermore, Johnson did not need to be exposed during close combat. There were times when he had to be exposed, for example back then, when he controlled the Class D expert’s spirit to collect blood samples.

Although they had not completely avoided surveillance, they were already very careful. Furthermore, who would check so much surveillance footage? They had not made use of Anthony often in China either.

There were so many oddities that Lu Shu did not know who the culprit was.

The culprit had only posted a thread that pointed out a member of the Heavenly Network. Lu Shu could not confirm that the culprit had only discovered Lu Xiaoyu’s identity by coincidence, or had verified it. He wanted to reply to the thread and attack the culprit verbally. He would be able to find out the culprit’s real name through the distress points earned. But he had to be cautious, as he did not know whether the culprit had other tricks up their sleeve.

Lu Shu was different from the culprit. He had not made sufficient preparations. The culprit could hide their identity even after posting a thread, but it was very likely that Lu Shu would be exposed by his IP address or other leads.

Although he had the entire Heavenly Network behind him, Lu Shu had not even dared to tell the Heavenly Network about Lu Xiaoyu’s ability.

At first, when he and Lu Xiaoyu realized that she could collect souls, they were extremely careful. This was because they knew others would see this as a taboo. It could even be considered as a dark ritual by those with a sense of justice. Even those who possessed this ability considered it evil.

This was the first time Lu Shu felt a real sense of danger, as well as the first time he broke out into a cold sweat after seeing a thread. It was as if he and Lu Xiaoyu had been trapped by a large net. They did not even know what the culprit was up to.

Li Xianyi did not even realize that his picture was taken. How could they act recklessly?

Lu Shu stayed on his phone. He wanted to see whether there were any other clues that could shed light on the identity of the culprit. He was also waiting for their next move. It was a whirlwind inside his head. He wanted to find a way to earn distress points without being discovered. He could act as a passer-by and verbally abuse the culprit...

Lu Shu continuously refreshed the page. Suddenly, the user posted another thread. The account had not been suspended as it did not explicitly mention the Ancient Yi Clan.

Lu Shu opened the thread. To his surprise, he saw a blurry photo. It was taken at the Koh Chang Island. The photographer seemed to have been following Lu Xiaoyu from a distance before taking a photo of Lu Xiaoyu experimenting with Johnson, while Anthony laughed at the side. Their faces were blurry as the picture was taken from a distance, but Anthony’s laughter was like a lighthouse in the dark... but Lu Xiaoyu had been cropped out of the picture.

Back then, Lu Xiaoyu had just obtained Johnson’s soul. It was normal for her to experiment with Johnson in a secluded place on Koh Chang Island.

Lu Shu knew that the culprit had definitely taken a picture of Lu Xiaoyu, since they had taken a picture of Anthony and Johnson on Koh Chang Island. But why was Lu Xiaoyu cropped out?

So their aim was not the Golden Foundation, the secret practitioners, or even the Heavenly Network... it was him!

Of course, he could not be sure of what was happening. He could only continue to observe.

Suddenly, the user commented. “How painful would it be for your soul to be taken away after your death?”

Lu Shu was silent for two seconds. He then commented. “Look at his expression. Isn’t he quite happy?”

When the other users saw Lu Shu’s comment, they were speechless...

Lu Shu waited for distress points. But it was as if the culprit did not look at the comments after they had posted. They had disappeared.

Others provided him with around ten distress points. After all, it was just an insult. But the culprit should have provided him with more points. However, there were none.

Lu Shu believed that many people had planned to go to the Changbai Mountains. At first, they did not believe the information. But now, even if they claimed that they did not believe the news, they were planning on how they would go to the Changbai Mountains.

Of course, the culprit was slowly moving ahead with their plan. They would make use of the Golden Foundation and Li Xianyi’s deep concern towards the Ancient Yi Clan to make a firm conclusion. How amazing!

Lu Shu was planning to kill. No matter who this person was, they had to die!

This had not happened by accident. The culprit was making full use of this incident. Even if Lu Xiaoyu had been cropped out, Lu Shu would not tolerate this.

“No matter who you are, I will find you and I will kill you!” Lu Shu was furious.

When Lu Xiaoyu heard that Lu Shu wanted to kill, her expression turned cold. She was ready to kill as well. She turned and asked Lu Shu, “Are we going to the Changbai Mountains then?”

Lu Shu was silent for two seconds. “No.”

“From Lu Xiaoyu’s distress, +166!”

Lu Xiaoyu was speechless. “Didn’t you want to kill them?”

“We may not be their objective. Of course we can’t go,” explained Lu Shu. “They are controlling everything now. We cannot walk into their home ground. Even if we want to kill, we should kill them later!”

But what did he have that the culprit was so concerned about? Lu Shu suddenly felt that there were many things that others would be interested in. Refresher fruits, the Cheng Ying sword, the head-twisting gourd, Chaos... so many! He still had the celestial map!

Lu Xiaoyu was also silent for two seconds. “This is my first time seeing someone who is able to still be so logical even when they are terrified.

“From Lu Shu’s distress, +166!”

Lu Shu decided to set these aside for now. He felt that if he did not go despite this, the culprit would give him some distress points, right? Furthermore, the culprit was very secretive. Evidently, they did not dare to face the Heavenly Network directly.

Unless... the Heavenly Network wanted to eliminate them because of the problem with Lu Xiaoyu’s techniques?

Lu Shu did not want to see that day come, because he... had acknowledged the Heavenly Network.

Although strictly speaking, they could not be considered friends, Lu Shu had considered the Heavenly Network as his friends in his heart.

This world was growing more and more dangerous. Lu Shu suddenly realized that he had to work even harder to protect everything he cared about.

Lu Shu had never thought about being a chess player 1 , like the culprit, but he wanted to be a chess piece that could escape the board. Even if he could only be a pawn, he would kill whoever wanted to control him.
