Chapter 351: 351, Right Party Deburring Tool_1
During his crawl, Su Yu had used his magic to tear his own clothes into rags, making him look like a beggar on the street.
Upon reaching the side of the highway, he held out his arm, waving weakly at the passing vehicles. He shouted in the Skru language hoarsely, “Help me, help me!”
An air vehicle would fly past on this road about every two or three minutes.
Float cars were the most commonly used transportation among the Skru people. The family-grade model operated using anti-gravity technology, allowing it to glide along the ground.
The automated driving systems of the passing cars precisely captured Su Yu’s waving motion.
These systems then independently pushed notifications to their owners: “A call for help detected ahead, x meters away. Would you like to stop?”
This alert system was installed in every vehicle and could not be uninstalled.
Speaking of this system, you have to mention the two major groups on Skru Star.
There were two primary groups within the political spectrum on Skru Star – the Left Party and the Right Party.
The Skru people from the Left Party were compassionate.
They were highly invested in protecting the rights of vulnerable groups and took issues such as environmental conservation, animal protection, and minority rights to heart.
The more extreme Left Party members would even go as far as saying, “It’s not his (the murderer’s) fault, he also deserves sympathy,” and forgive the murderer who killed their own parents.
The Skru people of the Right Party, on the other hand, were on the opposite extreme.
They were extremely self-centered and only cared about their own interests, boldly imposing harm on others to benefit themselves. They emphasized the survival of the fittest and valued pure bloodlines.
This “SOS Reminder System” used in Floating cars was a mandate legislated by the Left Party when they were in power. It had to be installed in every car.
As such, all the float cars that passed Su Yu received this notification.
But, unfortunately,
After waiting on the side of the road for half an hour and having over a dozen of floating cars passed by him, not one stopped to help Su Yu. Leaving him to wait helplessly for half an hour.
Brilliant Star, growing impatient, told Su Yu through a secret message: “Nemesis, how much longer are we going to wait like this? If this were to continue, I don’t think any car will stop even by tomorrow!”
“Don’t worry!” Su Yu, however, remained composed: “We’ve wasted half an hour, but we’ve actually gained quite a bit in return.”
“Gain?” Brilliant Star was utterly confused.
Lying on the ground for half an hour without moving. What kind of gain could that possibly be? Were they inflating their pride or was it some strange psychological tactic?
“Haha, let me explain…” Su Yu detailed the situation regarding the Skru “Left Party” and “Right Party” to Brilliant Star.
After listening patiently, she fell into deep thought.
After some time, she spoke: “I understand all that… but what does that have to do with you lying here for half an hour?”
“Of course it does!” Su Yu replied with a laugh: “After half an hour, with over a dozen cars passing me and none stopping to help, it suggests that we might be in a stronghold of the Right Party—The Raging Sun Empire.”
“Oh, so what’s next?”
“To deal with the Right Party, I’ll need to use their ‘decontraption’,” Su Yu replied.
“‘Decontraption’? What is that?”
“You’ll see,” he said.
As Su Yu chatted with Brilliant star, he used the Mirror skill.
An exact replica of “Su Yu” was left in place, while the original Su Yu had traveled a click away from the road.
Then, he took out a large piece of gold from his necklace, added some sand and stone, and using his magic, reshaped it into a “doghead gold”.
After the doghead gold was made, Su Yu took it back to the road.
Then, holding the doghead gold, he hoarsely shouted, “Help, who will help me?”
At this point, he displayed extraordinary acting skills, accurately conveying a sense of desperation in his cries.
At that moment, a blue float car passed Su Yu. Like the previous cars, it drove around him and didn’t stop.
However, after the car had traveled few meters, it suddenly halted with a screeching sound.
Two brawny males in black tracksuits jumped out of the car and walked toward Su Yu. But their eyes were all fixated on the doghead gold in Su Yu’s hand.
“Big bro, it looks like the real deal!” one of the Skru men said, his eyes gleaming.
“It does seem genuine… Damn, it’s gold!”
The bigger of the two snatched the doghead gold from Su Yu’s hand, weighed it- it was about a kilogram, and what’s more, it was genuine gold!
The “big bro” couldn’t hide his delight: “This much gold can certainly be worth tens of thousands!”
They were just out for a casual ride, but they didn’t expect to find such a treasure on the way!
The other Skru man took out a laser gun, crouched down, and pointed it at Su Yu’s head. “Hey, boy! Where did you get this gold from?”
“Please, don’t kill me!” Su Yu pleaded weakly, “As long as you don’t kill me, I will tell you everything about this gold.”
“Relax, we won’t kill you.” The bigger Skru laughingly answered, “Killing you does us no good, plus if you tell us where you got the gold from, we’ll drop you at the nearest town and give you enough food and water.”
“Alright,” sighed Su Yu. He shakily raised his arm, pointed behind him and said, “About two kilometers from here. My gang and another group fought and both suffered considerable losses. I was the only one who managed to escape. There are two more boxes filled with gold just like this one there…”
…
After about fifteen minutes, the two Skru men arrived at the location Su Yu talked about along with Su Yu.
The two men cautiously held their guns, checking their surroundings for any surviving gang members.
But when they reached the place where Su Yu directed them, they found no traces of any gang fights. It looked no different than a regular wasteland.
“Hey, boy! Are you fooling us?” The “big bro” pointed his laser gun at Su Yu.
At this point, Su had no plans to continue playing along.
He stood up straight and said with a smile, “And what if I am?”
“You’re seeking death!” Without hesitation, the “big bro” pressed the trigger. A laser beam sprayed out from the muzzle of the gun.
Before he could shoot, Su Yu had already used Flash Skill to move behind them.
Then he took out the [Soul Stealing Wand] and [Fragment of Hifan’s Soul] from his necklace.
“Mind Control.”
Two ribbon-like dark lights entwined around the two Skru men’s heads.
Being ordinary people, their thoughts were controlled by Su Yu in mere moments.
The reason Su Yu had tricked them into coming two kilometers away before using mind control was that every float car had a surveillance system installed. The coverage area of the system was approximately 500 meters.
By avoiding the surveillance system, he could rest assured to cast his spell without revealing himself.
