Defying the Fate of Beheading
Chapter 720 - 376 Alice: Louis, are you not capable?
"Aside from these two pieces of good news, what's the bad news?"
Ali looked at him deeply and said, "My brother and the others have uncovered some strange intelligence. They couldn't figure out what it meant, but instinctively felt something was wrong, so I brought it to you for a look."
"What is it?"
Ali handed Louis a detailed report of the investigation.
Louis frowned and said, "Such important things, you carry them around with you?" ๐๐ง๐๐ฎ๐๐ฎ๐๐ฃ๐ธ๐๐๐.๐๐๐
Ali shrugged and said, "If you weren't here, we would definitely have ensured confidentiality and sent it back home directly, but since you're here..."
Louis said nothing.
Alright.
It's reasonable, special matters call for special actions.
After all, to be honest, handing the intelligence directly to him reduces the chances of it being discovered by the Lokeshi people and other forces.
After all... this intelligence investigates some related information within the Lokeshi.
Or more specifically, investigates some internal information about the deadly sin of jealousy.
While Louis was reading the intelligence, Ali was idly twirling a dagger, asking curiously,
"Isn't the direction you asked my brother and the others to investigate a bit too bizarre?"
"What's so bizarre about it?"
"In a normal investigation into information on deadly sins, would anyone be bored enough to check if someone had a personality change and amnesia experience after a coma?"
"What do you know?" Louis shook his head and said, "There's definitely a reason for asking you to investigate it. Haven't we identified the problem now?"
He shook the report in his hand and said, "Didn't you have your own suspicions, which is why you quickly brought the intelligence to me?"
Ali said nothing, just spun the dagger faster and faster.
Louis didn't place his gaze on her bosom that rose and fell with her breathing, focusing entirely on analyzing the intelligence received from the Ashford Family.
After all, those best at intelligence investigation and outsourcing mercenary work were this group of people.
However, as he continued to go through the intelligence, his expression grew increasingly grim.
The first-generation deadly sin of jealousy, or rather, the boy with the highest compatibility with the deadly sin of jealousy initially, was brought back to the Lokeshi Empire from a small human nation.
This was specific information he received while chatting with Bart Jean.
The boy's village was attacked by Evil God Cultists and was on the brink of destruction when the boy suddenly erupted with immense vitality and willpower, fighting with those Evil God Cultists for a long time until a guard team from the small nation discovered him.
Initially, they thought this boy who had escaped a disaster was a genius, battling the cultists for two days and nights relying on his own talent.
But later, when they treated the boy, they found he had not formally become a professional.
In other words, he fought those notorious Evil God Cultists for a long time with nothing but his bare body.
After repeated investigations, the mage from that small country suspected he was a host of the legendary deadly sin.
Yet, despite his desperate efforts, he still couldn't prevent the tragedy of his village being destroyed.
The upper limit of the deadly sin's power ultimately needed one's own strength to support it.
Having nothing, he was imprisoned by the small nation due to their fear of the deadly sin of jealousy.
That small nation couldn't possibly nurture a deadly sin; they didn't have the capability.
But they also didn't want to directly kill it.
After all, it was a legendary deadly sin, involving the Path of Godhood above demigod!
Even though it was very dangerous, they didn't want to kill it directly.
Ultimately, they made a choice, using the deadly sin of jealousy to exchange with the Lokeshi Empire, hoping to gain Lokeshi's support.
Lokeshi agreed.
This was the process by which the first-generation deadly sin of jealousy entered Lokeshi.
Initially, the Lokeshi Empire actually didn't intend to kill him directly.
According to Patriarch Jean, at that time, the empire even arranged for a minor noble to adopt him, merely hoping he would cooperate with Lokeshi to research the deadly sin.
It's said that at that time, that little noble family was quite kind to the boy.
But later, a great fire consumed the entire noble family.
Already like a taut string, after that fire, he increasingly lost the will to live.
The Lokeshi people sensed something was wrong and quickly arranged for peers to accompany the deadly sin of jealousy, hoping to heal his wounded spirit.
Yet perhaps because there was already a wound in his heart, the power of the deadly sin of jealousy became increasingly uncontrollable and even hurt his peers.
Fortunately, that peer had a good attitude and continued to stay with him.
The situation of the deadly sin of jealousy visibly improved.
Yet misfortunes came unexpectedly; on a rainy night, the companion suddenly killed the deadly sin of jealousy.
This incident shocked the entire experimental base.
No one could understand why it happened.
At that time, the first-generation deadly sin of jealousy, after a round of cultivation by the empire, had an overwhelming advantage in strength over his peers.
But he died.
Died by being strangled.
The boy who strangled him tearfully told the staff he didn't mean to do it, but Sinus didn't want to live anymore, and then he didn't understand why his hands just wrapped around his neck.
God bless, the kid was only 14 years old; even with a weapon, it would have been difficult to harm the deadly sin of jealousy.
Yet the deadly sin of jealousy allowed himself to be strangled without resisting, suffocating to death.
Though hard to understand, eliminating all impossibilities, the remaining must be the truth.
