Chapter 665: Su Yang’s Realization
Janet said coldly, “I’m not listening.”
Although Janet did not listen, the Clown Sea Serpent continued, “You see, you’re far stronger than me, aren’t you? Plus, Master also has many terrifying superpowers in his hands, while I’m just an ordinary person. It might be an exaggeration to say that I’m harmless, but it wouldn’t be wrong to say that I’m weak in comparison to the both of you.
“Especially since I’ve signed a contract, I can’t go against it. So, I’m like a harmless little lamb to my master.
“Let me recall the contents of the contract… I have to listen to my master and must do whatever it is, as long as it is a command from my master.
“So, you see, since there’s even such a contract, why would you guys be wary of me?
“Also, think about it carefully. If I intended to be disloyal, why would I have signed the contract?”
Janet wasn’t stupid, she immediately retorted and said, “You’d have been eliminated if you didn’t sign it, you’ll be obliterated.”
The Clown Sea Serpent pouted. “Exactly! See, you already know this, so of course I’d know as well. Why would I resist and betray if I know I would die by doing so? I’m not a fool. Wouldn’t it be better for me to live an honest life then?
“Because of hatred? Surely you jest. That was the previous Clown Sea Serpent, not me. I’m a brand new person with my own set of memories.
“So… you guys have really demonized me. I’m already lying flat on the ground right now, what else do you want me to do?”
Janet’s brain worked hard as he thought about the situation.
He felt that what the Clown Sea Serpent said made sense, but he also felt that it was all twisted logic. ‘I can’t judge whether he’s telling the truth or not, my head’s spinning just from thinking about this.’
After thinking about it for a long time, Janet finally came to a conclusion. ‘Master’s right, this man is too scary with his way of words. I mustn’t talk to him.’
With that thought in mind, Janet did not reply to the Clown Sea Serpent. Instead, he brought him up, walked to the gra.s.s, plucked a handful of weeds and stuffed them into his mouth so that he could not speak.
The Clown Sea Serpent’s mouth was now stuffed full of weeds and was unable to make a sound. He struggled for a while before he finally gave up while Janet pressed him to the ground, keeping his mouth shut. All he could do at that moment was to smile helplessly. ‘Why don’t you guys believe me?’
After Su Yang finished his meal, he even washed a bowl before returning to his room.
At that moment, Little Deeny’s voice was heard. “Master, I think it’s about time. Shall we go over?”
Su Yang nodded. “Alright, I’ll head over now.”
Then, he slowly put down his things and used [s.p.a.ce Traversing Eyes] to fly directly to Socot Island.
After transforming into flames, Su Yang flew across the Pacific Ocean like a fiery phoenix and landed on Socot Island.
Seeing that Su Yang had landed, Janet quickly pulled the Clown Sea Serpent up.
The Clown Sea Serpent’s face was now covered in mud and there was even a layer of green gra.s.s in the middle. He looked dirty, but he still had an obedient smile on his face. In fact, he even raised his hand to greet Su Yang. “Oh, Master, you’re here.”
Su Yang replied with an expressionless “Mmhmm” before saying, “You know why I’m here, don’t you?”
The Clown Sea Serpent chuckled. “I do.”
Su Yang found a rock and sat down. “Do you have anything to say for yourself?”
A smile tugged at the Clown Sea Serpent’s face. “I know I was wrong.”
[s.p.a.ce Traversing Eyes] judged it as. [Sincere]…
Su Yang was speechless.
‘Something’s wrong with this guy, something’s really wrong.
‘The Clown Sea Serpent seems to be different from what Zhao Licheng described him to be previously.
‘He’s exactly like the modern era’s perfect young man.
‘Is… Is he really one though?
‘I find that a little hard to believe.
‘Forget everything else, just the fact that he had ma.s.sacred three boats full of people already shows that he isn’t a perfect young man.’
When he thought about how he had ma.s.sacred three people, Su Yang’s expression turned serious again. “Why did you kill those people?”
the Clown Sea Serpent said in embarra.s.sment, “Because they are Master’s enemies.”
[s.p.a.ce Traversing Eyes] judged it as. [Truth].
Su Yang frowned. “My enemies?”
“That’s right. I heard them through the sea breeze, they were discussing that they were going to come aboard the island. I also saw that they were hiding firearms, so it was obvious that they were up to no good.”
[s.p.a.ce Traversing Eyes] judged it as. [Half True].
Su Yang actually heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the evaluation.
‘Now this is the normal Clown Sea Serpent. I would actually feel very uneasy if he doesn’t lie.’
Now that he was lying, Su Yang felt that the Clown Sea Serpent had finally revealed his true nature and was relieved.
Su Yang asked calmly, “What did they discuss?”
It was supposed to be a simple question, but the Clown Sea Serpent hesitated for the first time since his resurrection.
After hesitating for a few seconds, he smiled and said directly, “I’m sorry, Master. I lied just now. At first, I heard someone discussing that they were going to come aboard the island, but I didn’t hear them say they were going to harm you, nor did I see their firearms. Instead, I just wanted to have some fun.”
[s.p.a.ce Traversing Eyes] judged it as. [Truth].
Su Yang was stunned for a moment. Then, he looked straight into the Clown Sea Serpent’s eyes without saying a word.
The Clown Sea Serpent was smiling at Su Yang as if he was a loyal servant.
Looking at the Clown Sea Serpent’s smile, a storm was brewing in Su Yang’s heart, although it did not show on his face.
Because he knew… The Clown Sea Serpent had guessed it.
‘He’s guessed that I can detect lies…
‘Does this person really have such high intelligence? Those eyes of his can practically see through people’s hearts.’
Su Yang felt that it was not wise to continue chatting, so he told Janet, “Bring him to the dungeon and lock him up. Without my orders, no one is allowed to release him.”
“Understood,” Janet replied expressionlessly and allowed Su Yang to send him and the Clown Sea Serpent back into the virtual s.p.a.ce.
Su Yang opened the virtual s.p.a.ce app and heaved a sigh of relief.
He stood at the edge of the sea and patted his face. ‘Something’s wrong with me, my mind’s a little off-balanced. Why am I so worried? The Clown Sea Serpent is just another normal little monster. It’s not as if I won’t be able to carry on living without him.’
At that thought, Su Yang seemed to have understood something.
He lowered his head in deep thought.
After a while, he raised his head with a smile. ‘I’ve got it, I’ve really got it now. I know why I’m being like this now and I also understand what the Clown Sea Serpent is doing.
‘Still… Everything still needs to be verified.’
Su Yang suppressed this thought in his heart and decided to deal with the matters at hand.
Hence, he followed Little Deeny’s lead and reached the sh.o.r.e not far away.
There was a reef there, stretching out into the sea like a natural pier.
Previously, this pier was the place that Su Yang had done his investigation previously.
Then, at that moment, there were three yachts parked at the pier.
One of the three yachts was big, while the other two were smaller. The bigger one was almost twice the size of the one that Su Yang had obtained previously, while the smaller ones were about the size of a speedboat. However, the three yachts were now covered with corpses.
Su Yang counted. ‘There’s more than 40 corpses here.
‘That’s over 40 lives. The stench of blood is so strong that even the salty sea breeze can’t blow it away.’
Su Yang climbed the ladder and boarded the boat. The first corpse that entered his sight was the Caucasian man who was the leader of the group.
When he saw the body, Su Yang’s eyes narrowed. ‘There’s something familiar about him.’ Hence, he examined the corpse closely and realized that it looked similar to the Caucasian man that he had killed previously.
‘Could he be that Caucasian’s brother?’
With that thought in mind, Su Yang started to search the s.h.i.+p.
There were many doc.u.ments on the s.h.i.+p and most of them were placed out in the open. ‘Based on the blood stains on top of these doc.u.ments, it’s very likely that the Clown Sea Serpent purposely left them there after he searched through the boat.
‘Did he even calculate that I would do this?’
Su Yang smiled and shook his head.
The change in his mentality made him no longer feel that the Clown Sea Serpent was scary. Instead, he felt that he was an interesting person.
As the three s.h.i.+ps had too much s.p.a.ce, Su Yang took out more than 10 Little Monster Beans from the virtual s.p.a.ce for them to collect all the information.
Soon, half an hour had pa.s.sed and a pile of doc.u.ments was placed in front of Su Yang. Su Yang once again verified what the Clown Sea Serpent had said just now. ‘These people are here for me.
‘Other than a doc.u.ment here, there are many photos of Socot Island.
‘Not only were these pictures taken during the day, there’s also some taken at night. There are even pictures that could have only been taken if they came aboard the island.
‘If this doesn’t prove that these people were up to no good, I think the 2020 Olympics will be able to be held smoothly.’
After organizing the doc.u.ments, Su Yang placed them in the virtual s.p.a.ce and pa.s.sed them to Little Deeny for her to translate.
Within less than five minutes, Little Deeny had roughly translated the information. She realized that the information was all business records, but the business terms used were obviously written in code, so Little Deeny needed some time to decipher them.
However, based on the current information, these people obviously had malicious intentions and were probably involved in illegal businesses.
When Su Yang saw the guns on the boat, he had a feeling that these people did not have good intentions.
Even overseas, automatic rifles were illegal. However, on these three boats, there were more than 30 automatic rifles and several boxes of ammunition.
‘Now I’m curious how the Clown Sea Serpent managed to kill them.
‘There are so many criminals with automatic rifles in here, so how could he be a match for them If he were actually a normal person?’
As Su Yang pondered over this matter, he kept the boats in the virtual s.p.a.ce and got Little Deeny and the rest to go through it and see if there was anything important that could lead him to finding out who these people were.
On the other hand, Su Yang used his power to return to Shanghai. He went to the office as if nothing had happened and accompanied Chu Xia while she wrote her novels.
Of course, when he read novels, his books never left his hands and his virtual special effects servers were increasing one by one. This made him feel more and more accomplished.
‘It’s not going to be long now before I’m able to create a large group of servers. Then, I’ll be able to create “Wandering Planet” with all of them, which is going to be amazing.’
The day pa.s.sed quickly. When he reached home, Su Yang ate something and did not continue reading. Instead, he went to the circus to verify the conclusion that he had drawn earlier…
When he left the circus, Su Yang was smiling.
Little Deeny happened to be looking for Su Yang at the time, so when she saw Su Yang’s smile, she asked, “Master, what are you happy about?”
Su Yang smiled and shook his head. “Nothing.”
Then, he asked, “How’s the Clown Sea Serpent doing?”
Little Deeny said, “He’s spent the whole day in the dungeon cell obediently. He was just laying on the bed with his legs crossed and his eyes closed as he hummed leisurely. He did not have any intention of escaping or doing anything unusual.”
Su Yang nodded. “That’s normal.”
Little Deeny was confused. Normal? Why is it normal? Why is his behaviour normal? What’s happened?
She had no idea what Su Yang was up to.
Looking at Little Deeny’s confused expression, Su Yang started the conversation again. “Oh, right, why were you looking for me?”
Little Deeny said, “Oh, Master, my doppelganger has deciphered the code on these doc.u.ments and made a big discovery. Do you want to take a look?”
“You’ve deciphered it already?” Su Yang said hurriedly. “Come, let’s go and take a look together!”
