Transforming Succubus: Almost Doomsday

Chapter 52: Zhou's Confusing Speech



In the resounding voice of the pioneers, a unique statement from the unchallenged expert sent a chill of fear down the spines of countless pioneers, but soon after, it was his words that rallied everyone.

Now, the chorus of voices all called for vengeance for the great wind that had begun to rise.

All were also aware that the great wind that had begun to rise had relayed intelligence at the cost of life.

Even those who had had differences with him were now grateful for the great wind's heroic sacrifice.

The entire forum clamored for Zhou Shou's blood, to avenge the great wind that had begun to rise.

At this point, anyone who dared to disagree would likely attract severe enmity.

But Zhou Baiyu... still jumped out.

"The senior great wind that began to rise is a true hero, who brought us extremely valuable intelligence at the cost of his life. Indeed, this intelligence is of significant importance to all pioneers. It may even concern our very survival."

"But I still have a question, seniors, haven't you felt that Zhou Shou has said too much?"

First, affirm everyone's thoughts, then pretend to find doubts, little by little changing people's opinions. Remember not to reveal your stance from the get-go.

Zhou Baiyu was exceedingly cautious in his actions.

He was well aware that he needed to "exonerate" Zhou Shou, and this process, if not careful...

Might put him at odds with the pioneers.

"The situation now is that Zhou Shou has already expressed in the 'video' that he has an older brother... damn it, setting me up."

The good news is, Zhou Shou has a severe brother complex and will be very reliable in the future.

The bad news is, his brother has now become the target of all pioneers.

Zhou Baiyu also gradually clarified that, in all likelihood...

Some of Zhou Shou's actions had been at his own behest.

Through conclusions to deduce the process, through the future to deduce the past...

This was exactly what Zhou Baiyu was doing now.

He ultimately concluded—

Zhou Shou was a double agent. In the end, he was working for him.

So if he didn't save Zhou Shou now, if he didn't find a way to make others doubt Zhou Shou's identity, Zhou Shou might really die.

If the relationship between him and Zhou Shou were dug up, he too would die.

Thus, Zhou Baiyu began.

In the Pioneers' Voice forum, many had a favorable impression of Jiang Xianwu, and a high-ranking woman from the Divine Consort Association said:

"Brother Jiang, what do you mean by that? I don't quite understand."

Other pioneers sent a string of question marks.

The unparalleled one frowned slightly while Guang Tongchen smiled meaningfully.

Zhou Baiyu said:

"I wholeheartedly agree with Chairman Unparalleled's words, and I was genuinely frightened when I learned of the Reversers."

This was true. Zhou Baiyu indeed feared that one day while walking down the street, like the wallfacer in The Three-Body Problem, someone would suddenly appear and say to him:

"Jiang Xianwu, I am your wall-breaker."

The mere thought was terrifying, but the more he considered it, the more Zhou Baiyu felt something was off, and he continued:

"Chairman Unparalleled's words also inspired me, that as long as we work hard, we can certainly use the pioneers' advantage to nip the Reversers in the bud."

"But here's the problem. Suppose, and I'm just speaking hypothetically, suppose I were a Reverser... why would I expose myself?"

This statement sparked a lot of thought among the people.

Actually, the unparalleled one had also suspected this before.

But Tianxiawuer was definitely not Zhou Baiyu, nor did he have any fraternal relations with Zhou Shou, so he definitely couldn't prioritize the assumption that Zhou Shou might be one of his own people.

After all... Zhou Shou was a Reverser, and the fact that he had killed a real ally "Great Wind Begins" was indisputable.

Of course, Tianxiawuer was very rational, and he was worried that Jiang Xianwu's words would offend people, so he actually took the initiative to speak first:

"No one else should comment, young brother Jiang, please continue."

Zhou Baiyu once again felt admiration, Tianxiawuer truly was a very wise and charismatic person.

Hmm, I like Guang Tongchen even more now.

He continued to speak:

"Thank you, Chairman Wuer, you were right about one thing earlier, if there are Reversers, then the Reversers must have come after us, they are a later emergence."

"All we have to do is pluck them from the source before they are born."

"But think about it, everyone, if we can think of this, could the Reverser force not think of it too?"

"If the Pioneers become conscious of this, it would undoubtedly be a devastating blow to the Reverser force."

"And you see, this Reverser in the video, this person who calls himself Zhou Shou, he's extremely arrogant and very hateful."

"But he shouldn't be foolish."

"Don't you think, Zhou Shou's words have been a bit too much?"

"It's almost like he's educating us through the screen about the existence of Reversers."

"Also, he even unnecessarily told the senior 'Great Wind Begins' that he was looking for a treasure, a treasure from Linxiang City."

Zhou Baiyu also suddenly recalled, from his memories in Midel, that he also knew of a treasure.

It was the information he obtained after using the comb transformed by his mutation to comb Midel's hair—

A powerful artifact exists in Linxiang City, said to be related to the gods. Yet, despite the demons' search for one hundred and fifty years, they have never found it.

Zhou Baiyu couldn't help but connect the two artifacts together.

"Is Zhou Shou deliberately leaving me a message?"

Of course, Zhou Baiyu didn't have much time at the moment to think about this issue, as he first had to "clear" Zhou Shou's name, so he continued to post in the Voice of Pioneers:

"If they come from the future, reversing into the past, then they should be very clear that going back into the past to kill means they shouldn't say a single extra word. Otherwise, any piece of information they inadvertently leave behind might give us in the past... the chance for a comeback."

"And this Zhou Shou, is incredibly talkative to an unbelievable extent."

"Of course, these are just some of my doubts; I absolutely do not intend to speak for Zhou Shou, his killing of the senior 'Great Wind Begins' is unforgivable!"

"I just suggest that everyone reexamine the scenes and dialogues of Zhou Shou's murder closely."

Guided by Zhou Baiyu's words, many people indeed began to rewatch.

It wasn't long before the Pioneers noticed these two sentences—

"You're brave, stronger than most Pioneers. I believe if you were alive, by version 2.49, you would definitely be a top warrior."

"But ugly uncle, I must kill someone to settle a score, right, before you die, let me ask you a question, I'm looking for a treasure, is this Linxiang City?"

Though Tianxiawuer and Guang Tongchen had noticed these two sentences long ago,

After Zhou Baiyu's emphasis, they also thought more deeply about these two sentences.

This Zhou Shou really did seem to be overly talkative on purpose. No...

For the Pioneers, these few sentences, not one was idle talk! Each was loaded with information!

Zhou Baiyu struck while the iron was hot, making the final defense for his good brother:

"Recently, because the Snow Demon almost revealed some information to me, it nearly got erased by the rules, bleeding from every orifice, a horrifying sight."

"And everyone watch, after Zhou Shou killed Great Wind Begins, he also went through this process."
