My incarnation is becoming a global calamity.

Beller Lane, a slum.

Su Tu pulled up the collar of his trench coat, stood in front of the red wooden door, and frowned slightly.

The air was still filled with the stench of excrement, unchanged.

"Number 001 Beller Lane, if there are no surprises, that should be it."

He hadn't forgotten Rhys's trick of swapping doorplates.

During his first transaction, he thought this was a way to avoid being noticed.

However, it now seems that the purpose of that guy's actions may not be so simple.

Based on what I overheard in the interrogation room, the change of the nameplate was most likely an attempt to conceal the Purification Crown.

Su Tu glanced at the number 002 hanging next to the red wooden door and fell silent.

The house number has been changed.

Moreover, the person who changed the house number is most likely Rhys.

Based on the now-swapped house numbers, the information Rhys gave to Bot is most likely true.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have swapped the house numbers.

If the royal reconnaissance team arrives at this time, they will inevitably enter the house behind Su Tu after seeing the house number.

That is, the house where Su Tu and Rui Si made their transaction last time.

They probably wouldn't even glance at the real house number 001.

When that time comes, those who came looking for the Purified Crown based on Rhys's information will definitely suffer a crushing defeat.

Even time is wasted.

Even if Bot had been there once before, he would still lead people into the house behind him.

After all, when Boye brought Lila over last time, Rhys had already changed the address to 001.

It's even possible that Rhys knew in advance about the possibility of Bot and his group's visit and made such arrangements accordingly.

The purpose was for this moment.

If Rhys manages to obtain the fan and leave the reconnaissance team's base while they are searching for magical artifacts.

Therefore, he must be the biggest beneficiary of this trip into the Ashir Vault.

Not only will they achieve their goal and obtain Ashir's exclusive magical artifact, but they will also be able to preserve the Purification Crown.

It's like killing two birds with one stone, a truly fruitful outcome.

Such meticulous thinking and detailed planning are simply terrifying.

"It will most likely take some time before the Royal Scouts arrive."

Su Tu rushed over without stopping while Bote was arranging for his subordinates to come and search.

Based on the distance and their approximate speed, it would take at least half an hour to get here.

If he finds the Purifying Crown during this time, it would be tantamount to ruining Rhys's near-perfect plan.

Recalling the calm look in Rhys's eyes when he ambushed you in the Ashir's Vault, Su Tu felt that his idea was pretty good.

This time, Su Tu didn't knock on the door. Instead, he went outside the alley and climbed in through the window.

The room was very dark with very low visibility.

A strange smell filled the air.

The smell was a bit like a rotting corpse hidden in a dry latrine; it was nauseating.

He sniffed uncomfortably, and his brows furrowed slightly.

"This smells a bit strange; I've never smelled it before."

The unpleasant smell compelled him to examine the room, trying to pinpoint its source.

However, the view inside the room was very dark.

Apart from the sunlight streaming in through the window behind him, there were no other sources of light, making it impossible to see what was inside the room.

"I don't even know if there are any lights in this room."

Su Tu groped in the dark, using his limited vision to observe the general situation inside the house.

The layout of the house is similar to that of Rhys's house across the street; it's very simple.

The only difference is that there are no cabinets for storing magical tools next to the wall.

Based on this, the house across the street should be similar to a warehouse, and this house is where he usually rests.

As he pondered this, he observed his surroundings by the light streaming in through the window, trying to see if there were any signs of life.

Walked up to a table and gently stroked it with his finger.

It is very smooth and free of dust.

He then squatted down and looked at the ground, finding that the carpet on the ground was also swept very clean.

These two points are enough to show that the house is inhabited.

In other words, Rhys most likely lives in this house.

That room across the street, number 002, was probably used by him to cover his tracks.

If we confirm that someone lives here, then there must be lighting inside the house.

He stood up, walked to the counter in the dark, and reached out to feel around, trying to find something like a candlestick by his fingers.

As his fingers reached towards the corner of the counter, he touched a smooth-feeling object.

In the center of the object, there is a thin thread resembling a candle wick.

"This should be the candlestick."

Su Tu reached out and touched his surroundings again, and picked up a small box.

Open the box, and by feel, take out a small wooden stick from the box and gently slide it along the side of the box.

*Pfft*

The flame of the match flickered slightly, illuminating the darkness before Su Tu's eyes.

However, his calm expression faltered slightly as he brought the flame close to the candlestick.

After a brief hesitation, he took the flame and lit the wick of the candlestick.

Soon, the firelight spread from the candlestick, dispelling all the darkness in the room.

However, Su Tu did not look at the situation inside the room; his gaze remained fixed on the candlestick in front of him.

The candlesticks are beautiful, but also terrifying.

What's beautiful is that this candlestick has clearly been carved by someone; the patterns on it are interwoven, presenting a mysterious beauty.

What's chilling is that the raw material used to make the candlesticks is human skulls.

The reason he felt the candlestick was slippery was simply because his fingers had brushed against the top of his head.

Su Tu looked at the eerie yet exquisite skull and let out a soft breath.

It has to be said that even the most composed person will be momentarily stunned when they first see this thing.

He had originally intended to take the candlestick and look around the room to find the source of the strange smell in the air.

But look at this candlestick made from a human skull.

He simply gave up on the idea and decided to leave as soon as he found the purified crown.

After glancing at the candlestick again, Su Tu slowly turned around and began to scan his surroundings using his magical artifact appraisal ability.

With the upgrade of identification capabilities, the scope of identification has also expanded significantly.

A quick glance around is enough to examine all the magical artifacts stored on the first floor.

"It seems the Purification Crown wasn't placed on the first floor."

Su Tu withdrew his gaze and murmured to himself.

There are indeed quite a few magical tools on the first floor, and the highest-level ones are even S-rank.

However, judging from the appraisal, these magical tools are all sealed and cannot be used.

Otherwise, he would definitely have become a thief and taken all the magical artifacts.

"If it's not on the first floor, then it should be on the second floor."

Su Tu looked up at the bottomless stairwell not far away, his expression remaining calm and unchanged.

But the stairwell is so dark, should we bring the candlestick up with us?

He thought to himself, his gaze also falling on the skull candlestick on the table behind him.

After a brief moment of hesitation, he decided to bring the candlestick with him.

In the dark, the threat is greatly increased, while with a light source, it is much less.
