Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Liu Fuping looked utterly perplexed, clearly unable to figure out why this matter had anything to do with her.Qiu Tu pointed at Jia Wei and said, "Who is he?" Liu Fuping replied, "Jia Wei." Qiu Tu asked, "What is his identity?" Liu Fuping replied, "He is Director Liu's arch-enemy." Qiu Tu nodded and said, "Yes." "So... what kind of agreement do you say I can reach with her?" Liu Fuping paused for a second, then looking somewhat astonished, pointed at Jia Wei and said, "You mean... you got the Evil God to turn over His follower?" "To have His follower sacrifice himself?" "So, His follower self-destructs and reveals the truth behind the [8.19 Pharmacy Robbery Case]?" Qiu Tu: ..... Qiu Tu felt that Liu Fuping had really improved a lot recently, having come up with such an outlandish yet somewhat reasonable plan. But he still shook his head with a smile and then said, "I don't have that much leverage. And Her Highness Larilo is not one to sacrifice her followers." Qiu Tu said, "I just know what she wants, and what she needs happens to be the same as what you and Director Liu need." "For example... she wants Jia Shu to die. And her follower just happens to know a shocking secret—the real murderer who killed Director Liu's son..." Upon hearing Qiu Tu's information-loaded words, Liu Fuping paused for a moment, then immediately caught on. She looked at Jia Wei in surprise and then said, "You mean... he isn't actually the killer of Director Liu's son? Jia Shu is?" Qiu Tu nodded. Then he turned towards Jia Wei, who had been watching the scene from the interrogation table the whole time, and said, "Jia Wei, it's your turn now." Upon hearing this, Jia Wei grinned sinisterly, his teeth stained with blood, and said, "No wonder Qiu Tu told 'God' he was confident he could eliminate Jia Shu." "It seems it's because he has tied up with The Liu family member." "Indeed, once Jia Shu is no longer the Head of the Political Department, with Liu Xiongyuan's ruthlessness, he won't live much longer." Having said this, Jia Wei looked towards Qiu Tu and commented, "Quite the hand at using others to get rid of one's enemies..." Qiu Tu tapped the table, reminding, "Jia Wei, complete your task. Don't go off-topic." Jia Wei huffed and then finally closed his eyes and began speaking slowly, "Since you all want to hear it, I'll tell you." His tone was deep, filled with hatred, despair, and unwillingness... "It all starts with my brother, also known as Jia Shu's Cataclysmic ability." "His ability is called 'Shadow Devouring,' a very powerful one." "This ability allows his shadow to transform into a dark realm completely under his control." "Within that dark realm, he becomes immensely powerful. Not only can he hide within the shadows, but he can also control the shadows, giving him the ability to activate the shadows." "What's more important is that his shadow isn't static; it can evolve." "He just needs to devour certain targets to enhance the shadow's abilities and increase his own strength." "The only pity is that the targets he needs to devour are held to very high standards, and the conditions are quite strict." "Firstly, the target must harbor secrets. The bigger the secret, the stronger the boost in strength he gets after devouring them." "Secondly, once he has chosen a target, he cannot switch targets before 'eating' that target." "This means that once he has locked on to a target but is unable to devour it, his strength will stagnate." "Finally, and most importantly, although the target has secrets, he can't just directly devour them. He must 'cultivate' the target." "This 'cultivation' includes, but is not limited to, contacting the target, stirring up the target's emotions, digging into the target's secrets, and so on..." "And the more he interacts with the target, the more intense the target's emotions become, the bigger the secrets of the target uncovered, the more 'ripe' the target becomes!" "A target supposedly has several levels of ripeness. He can choose to wait until the target is completely 'ripe' to devour them, or he can choose to act when the target reaches its first 'ripe' state." "This entirely depends on his personal judgment." "And... Liu Xiongyuan's son was his first target..." While listening to Jia Wei's "exposé" on Jia Shu's abilities, Qiu Tu also sat quietly, mulling things over. From the first day he transmigrated and met Jia Shu, Qiu Tu actually felt that Jia Shu's attitude towards him was a bit different. For instance, Jia Shu would always look at him with a slightly twisted gaze; for instance, even though he had done many things perfectly, Jia Shu nevertheless harbored suspicions about him; for instance, Jia Shu always found various reasons to summon him or to make contact... Back then, Qiu Tu didn't understand why all this was happening. He just suspected that Jia Shu was too clever to be fooled by him. But now, he had finally understood. Stay connected through My Virtual Library Empire He estimated that from the first night after he transmigrated, the moment he encountered Jia Shu, Jia Shu must have discovered the huge secret hidden within him! A secret that could greatly enhance his own strength! Therefore, from that day on, Jia Shu had set his sights on him, preparing to choose him as his target. Following this train of thought, Qiu Tu discovered more actions that matched the capabilities of Jia Shu. For instance, Jia Shu would call him to witness the dissection of young girls. (Chapter 16) This was to instill fear in him. For instance, Jia Shu would take him to the rooftop to show him the privileges enjoyed by officials above the director level of the Investigation Bureau. (Chapter 69) This was to incite greed within him. For instance, although Jia Shu was lenient towards him, he constantly put him in dangerous situations. Like proactively suggesting that he investigate the Qin Family, or assigning him the exceedingly complex case of Yin Caimei. This was to keep his emotions in a constant state of flux. Plainly speaking, Jia Shu did all these things in order to "nurture" him, to let him "mature"! And ultimately to become his nourishment! So, no wonder for such a long time, Jia Shu was clearly filled with suspicion towards him, but never took direct action. No wonder, when he found out that he was about to be promoted and enter the Sanctuary listings, Jia Shu couldn't wait to act! Ultimately, it was because previously he was in the "nurturing" phase, not yet mature. Jia Shu wasn't in a rush to devour him.

Later, when Jia Shu realized that he had matured, but was about to be out of his reach, Jia Shu became anxious and started scheming ways to devour him. After all, if he couldn't devour him, then Jia Shu would be unable to find the next target, and his strength would also hit a plateau. It was precisely because of this sudden change that Jia Shu lost his usual calm and chose to risk everything, eventually falling into the trap Qiu Tu and Larilo had set. Thinking of this, Qiu Tu finally unraveled the long-puzzling mystery of Jia Shu... 'However... Jia Shu's ability is indeed powerful. To be able to progress by devouring others.' 'If only I could extract it using the "Salvage Game" and give it to one of my confidants.' Thinking this, Qiu Tu gradually regained his composure and looked towards Jia Wei. According to his understanding, if the son of Director Liu was also a target chosen by Jia Shu, then the son of Director Liu must have a big secret, just like him. Only then would Jia Shu be interested in him, and ultimately devour him. With this in mind, Qiu Tu pulled his thoughts back and continued to listen to the story about Jia Shu and the son of Director Liu. Jia Wei, "The son of Liu Xiongyuan is actually a genius." "Although he was only 18 at the time, his marksmanship and interrogation techniques were both a true heritage from his father. He was quite famous in the Cuishan City Investigation Bureau." "Moreover, having made several merits, he became a Second-Class Investigator in the Cuishan City Investigation Bureau at such a young age." "And no one thought he relied on his parents' influence or connections." "At that time, I was a student at the Military Officers' Academy of the Sanctuary. The purpose of establishing the Academy was to train excellent mid-level officers and to explore the Planning Area." "Therefore, the school required us students to participate in field practice in the Planning Area during the last semester." "Thus, our batch of students, in accordance with the school's requirement, formed teams and headed to Cuishan City for practice." "At the time, the teacher leading the team was Yan Chen, and... the counselor was my own brother Jia Shu!" At this point, Jia Wei's eyes almost spit fire, and his voice seemed to squeeze out through the gaps in his teeth. Qiu Tu glanced at him, then looked at Liu Fuping. Then he realized that Liu Fuping was already completely absorbed in Jia Wei's narration, with her hands clenched tightly... --------- Still 3 chapters of 10,000 words each.
