But for Luo Xiu, no matter what other schemes he had, they weren't important. The most important thing was how he was going to play the role of a mute. Although he could obtain all of this person's memories through the Soul Search, there was one thing that Luo Xiu felt was somewhat troublesome. That was how he was going to deal with the relationship between the two. After all, a mute who was also a gatekeeper didn't give him much time.
Although this mute was only a gatekeeper, after killing someone, he would need to spend time to set up the scene. After that, if he wanted to rush to the back door in the shortest time possible, he would have to use some extreme methods. Otherwise, it was very likely that he would attract the attention of these powerful existences!
As for the reason why Luo Xiu chose to take action three days later, there was another main reason, and that was his own problem. He wanted to properly research what time period those fellows from the Guardian Marquis's Mansion would monitor the entire Marquis's Mansion.
This was very crucial. If by any chance, when he was just about to make his move, those fellows' mental strength would sweep over. At that time, even if he had a mouth, he wouldn't be able to explain himself.
However, after careful comparison, Luo Xiu also discovered an interesting phenomenon. That was, in the middle of every month, the Marquis' Mansion would host a banquet. The scale of the banquet was very large. It could be said that if it was any other time, Luo Xiu's move would very likely attract the attention of those powerful existences. However, if he made his move at that time, it would indeed reduce the chances of him being exposed.
At that time, Luo Xiu only needed to adapt to the situation and make sufficient preparations. The chances of him being exposed would be very small. However, he still didn't dare to lower his guard. On one hand, the time was short, and on the other hand, he wasn't sure if he could succeed in one strike.
However, there was one thing that he could be sure of, and that was that there wasn't much time left for him. At least, it wasn't as much as he imagined.
In these two days, Luo Xiu focused on observing the entire Marquis' Mansion's architectural branch. Even though his predecessor had lived in the Marquis' Mansion for more than a hundred years, that was all the memories of Head Steward Xue. Luo Xiu was only using it as a reference. Moreover, during this time, he also discovered some abnormalities. The entire Shenyue Clan didn't seem to be as united as he imagined.
Luo Xiu noticed that the second master of the Shenyue Clan, the old man who always had an amiable expression on his face, was the most scheming one. Moreover, the most important thing was that this person had great ambitions. Although he had an amiable appearance on the surface, he was actually the one that Luo Xiu couldn't see through the most out of all the members of the Shenyue Clan.
As for the blind man, he was purely there to make up the numbers. After all, this blind man's presence was still somewhat noticeable. As the caretaker of the ancestral hall of the Shenyue Clan, although this person's reputation wasn't obvious, and Luo Xiu had even carefully observed him several times, he didn't have a trace of cultivation. However, from this blind man's nimble movements, it could be seen that this old man was definitely not simple.
However, the most fundamental reason why Luo Xiu was interested in this person's identity was that he himself wanted to stay in the Shenyue Clan for a period of time. In the entire Shenyue Clan, there was no safer place than the ancestral hall. As a clan's ancestral hall, it could be said that it was one of the most important places in the entire clan.
Luo Xiu had observed and compared it with the information revealed in his mind, as well as other people's idle chatter. He knew that in the Shenyue Clan, those powerful existences of the clan were all in seclusion in that forbidden area. There was no one guarding the ancestral hall. After all, no one would dare to make a move in the core of the clan's ancestral hall.
After that, Luo Xiu carefully investigated for a few days, and then gave up on the blind man. After all, this blind man's goal was somewhat obvious. If the matter of him killing those crew members was exposed, the clan's ancestral hall would definitely be the first to be monitored.
At that time, the experts of the Shenyue Clan would definitely have a clear division of labor. Even if Luo Xiu had to arrange it himself, he would still do so.
In this way, Luo Xiu dispelled the idea of impersonating the blind man. Instead, he turned his main goal to the old man at the back door.
However, before that, Luo Xiu still had one more thing to do. That was to find a way to obtain the blood or hair of those young masters of the Shenyue Clan. Just in case, it was also to leave himself an escape route.
After all, Luo Xiu had already planned beforehand. If necessary, for the sake of his little life, he would pretend to be a person of this world. No matter what he did, there was nothing more convenient and fast than splitting his soul into two and creating a new body.
These three days were torturous. At the very least, for Luo Xiu, his nerves had been stretched taut the entire time.
Even with the System in his mind constantly comforting him, Luo Xiu still found it difficult to calm down. He did not know why, but the atmosphere within the Shenyue Clan suddenly became strange. Such a strange situation simply made him feel suffocated. It was as if the entire Shenyue Clan was filled with an anxious atmosphere, as if something was about to happen.
Such a strange atmosphere also made Luo Xiu somewhat hesitant and worried. He suddenly could not make up his mind. He did not know if he was overthinking, or if something was really going to happen in the Shenyue Clan. He was hesitant, hesitating whether or not he should act according to his original plan.
However, in the end, he clenched his teeth and chose to wait and see. A little impatience would spoil great plans. Under such circumstances, waiting for things to develop was the most important thing. If everything was peaceful after three days, then he would make his move.
If something happened, then he would postpone his plan. At the same time, Luo Xiu also wanted to see what was going on that would make such a powerful clan like the Shenyue Clan act as if they were facing a great enemy at this moment.
It must be mentioned that there were more than three thousand big and small forces on Taiyue Planet, and almost all of them were controlled by the Shenyue Clan. In the entire Kaiser Empire, the Shenyue Clan could be ranked in the top five. For such a huge clan to act like they were facing a great enemy, it would be a joke if nothing terrible happened.
During this period of time, Luo Xiu took advantage of his work to get the hair, clothes, and other things he wanted. During this period of time, he had already familiarized himself with all the big and small buildings in the Marquis's Mansion. Luo Xiu even secretly used the tools provided by the system to dig a tunnel underground.
Of course, when he dug this tunnel, he dug it through the room he lived in and was extremely careful. What made him feel more comfortable was that there seemed to be no such thing as a formation in this world. This allowed Luo Xiu's speed to increase by quite a bit.
However, even so, he was still somewhat alarmed. On the first day, when he was digging the underground tunnel, no matter how light his movements were, a powerful mental energy still swept over twice, scaring Luo Xiu so much that he did not even dare to breathe.
However, after the owner of the mental energy scanned for a long time and did not find anything out of the ordinary, it withdrew its mental energy. Even so, Luo Xiu was still frightened out of his wits.
If it wasn't for the system's reminder that he acted early and directly entered the World of Green Lotus, he would have been exposed by now. Even so, Luo Xiu was still so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.
After that, he did everything very carefully, afraid of attracting unnecessary trouble. During this period of time, the entire territory controlled by the Shenyue Clan was in a state of panic, and people's thoughts were stirred.
Luo Xiu, who was staying in the Marquis' Mansion, did not know all of this. At this moment, he was hesitating whether he should act according to his original plan. This was because in the afternoon, the entire Shenyue Clan was under martial law. Everyone, regardless of whether they were going out or entering the Marquis' Mansion, was strictly checked. Moreover, it was a very detailed check.
This strange atmosphere made Luo Xiu know that he could not hesitate any longer. At the very least, he should give up his original plan. After all, during this period of time, many things had happened that he could not control. Moreover, it seemed that these things would continue to develop. This made him feel somewhat troubled and at the same time, he also faintly showed a trace of fatigue.
"System, should I still act according to the original plan? Can you help me monitor what is going on in the Shenyue Clan? Here, I cannot use my Soul to explore the surrounding environment. Everything depends on you, System.
However, I always have a feeling of unease. It seems that if we dare to act, we will definitely be met with a violent suppression. Although I don't want to admit it, I always feel that my heart is filled with fear. There must be something here that we don't know. System, help me find a way to clarify this matter, please! "
When the system and Luo Xiu were at home that day, Luo Xiu could not help but speak of the panic in his heart.
He was very clear about his own feelings. Something was definitely going to happen. Moreover, from the tense appearance of the entire Shenyue Clan, it could be seen that something he did not know about was about to happen in this world or on this planet.
"Alright, don't take any other actions for now. Just stay here. I will think of a way to help you investigate this matter and see what exactly is wrong. However, you must be careful. Don't try to do anything out of line. At this time, stability is the most important. If you really want to leave the Marquis' Mansion, you have to take advantage of this opportunity. Now that this mysterious clan is in chaos, you should not cause any more problems.
Host, don't continue with the original plan. Just wait for some chaos to occur in the Shenyue Clan, then take the opportunity to slip away. This way, no one will know. Anyway, you have already taken out the body of Director Xue. When the time comes, just put the corpse on your bed and make some arrangements.
At that time, even if you are found dead, no one will suspect anything. "
At this moment, the system was exceptionally calm. It even had some understanding of this new situation. Therefore, when it spoke, it still considered Luo Xiu's feelings.
"Then help me investigate what exactly is going on in the Shenyue Clan. I have a feeling that something big is going to happen in this clan. Moreover, it is not far from us. Fortunately, we left some buffer time. Otherwise, this time, we would have really bumped into the muzzle of a gun and died without even knowing how.
In the past few days, I have already discovered that the entire Shenyue Clan is on guard as if they are facing a great enemy. There are experts keeping watch all day long, and the strength of those experts' Divine Souls is constantly enveloping the entire Marquis' Mansion. If this is really peaceful, then I am really an idiot. "
Luo Xiu sighed inwardly. It was very obvious that he also knew the relationship between the two. He spoke somewhat dejectedly.
At the same time, Luo Xiu inexplicably heaved a sigh of relief. In truth, he was not a person who killed indiscriminately. Even if that mute had some ulterior motives, to him, this person did not have any karmic relationship with him. It was not worthwhile to directly shout about killing someone.
The rest of the night was peaceful. Luo Xiu fell asleep early. This was not intentional, but because his nerves had been tense for the past few days, causing him to suffer a lot. Now that he had given up on his previous plan, it was like a rope that had been tied to him had been loosened. He was no longer as tense as before.
Ever since that night, Luo Xiu had already regained his usual calmness. This could be seen from the way the servants looked at him. Two days ago, Luo Xiu's nervous appearance, as long as one was familiar with him, they would be able to feel that something was wrong.
Although these servants were on good terms with Chief Manager Xue, none of them dared to offend his dignity at that time. Therefore, when they saw Chief Manager Xue smiling like this today, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. They all thought that something must have happened to Chief Manager Xue in the past two days.
And things were just as Luo Xiu had guessed. That night, after Luo Xiu finished a day's work, before he could even fall asleep, the entire Shenyue Clan was suddenly in chaos. The entire planet was trembling, as if a prehistoric monster had stepped on it.
Luo Xiu raised his head to look at the sky with a face full of shock. That was a huge battleship that far exceeded Luo Xiu's imagination. Its huge body emitted a powerful force, giving people a feeling that it was impossible to fight against.
Just by looking at the exterior of this battleship, Luo Xiu could feel the terror of this battleship. Luo Xiu could also see from the uneven scars on the surface of the battleship that this battleship had experienced a cruel battle.
What made Luo Xiu even more alarmed was that on the surface of this battleship, there were a few Chinese characters. Moreover, these were the Chinese characters that he recognized. They belonged to an ancient country of the Earth Federation. How could this not shock Luo Xiu?
"Oh!
System, what the hell is going on here?
It's been more than a day, and you still haven't figured out what's going on here? "Although he had some guesses in his heart, Luo Xiu could not help but ask the system in his mind.
