Infinite Job Transfers Starting from Mechanic-Chapter 1104 - 556: Conversation with Yi

As Su Yu spoke, the information source immediately fell silent.

After a long time, new information was transmitted through the Star Tower’s signal scan:

[How did you know?]

This was an admission.

It really wasn’t the Tenth Prince, but the cosmic undead known as "Yi."

What it just said were all lies to trick Su Yu, wanting Su Yu to pray to the Radiant Emperor, and thus infect the Radiant Emperor.

Hearing this, Su Yu smiled slightly and then said, "I guessed."

Of course, Su Yu didn’t rely entirely on guesswork.

Previously, he had encountered a cosmic undead who also tried to disguise itself as the intelligence of a battleship to deceive Su Yu, only to be seen through by Su Yu.

Even earlier, the Qi Chen he had contacted might also be considered a kind of cosmic undead.

Facing such beings, Su Yu was considered "experienced."

These cosmic undead seemed to absorb biological information to gain thinking ability and personality.

They are like powerful intelligent hosts but without installed intelligent programs.

Yet, they can absorb humans or other organisms and use those organisms’ thoughts and memories to think.

However, the thinking and personality acquired through this method are likely not as good as the original, with considerable differences.

According to the information Su Yu had obtained before, that Tenth Prince was undoubtedly a rather "righteous" person, filled with loyalty and honor, willing to fight the cosmic undead single-handedly for the people of the Oming River System.

Such a prince remained calm when Su Yu told him about the grand rebellion of the Empire a thousand years ago and the current dark practices of the Imperial tax ships.

This made Su Yu suspect.

Suspecting it was not really the Tenth Prince but a cosmic undead in disguise.

Thus, he took a bold guess and indeed exposed the creature.

[Guessed...]

The information or rather Yi seemed somewhat speechless because of Su Yu’s words.

A moment later, it continued: [You humans are indeed cunning. Although I acquired information about that Tenth Prince and can simulate his personality, ultimately it’s not alike...]

Then, its tone suddenly changed: [Since you’ve uncovered it then...]

[Leave...]

"Leave?"

Su Yu said.

He thought it would say "then you must die," followed by a terrifying attack.

But it directly let Su Yu go.

"It seems this creature doesn’t have a good way to deal with me either. I’m quite far, and it can’t attack me..."

Su Yu mused to himself, judging Yi’s state.

However, he didn’t heed Yi’s words and just leave.

He hadn’t yet solved the disease on him and didn’t want to leave.

Yi said again: [You are too far from me, I can’t attack you, and you don’t dare to come, so just leave.]

Su Yu said, "Do I really have some disease on me?"

Yi said, "Of course, you do."

Su Yu felt speechless.

Even though Su Yu had exposed this creature’s identity, it wasn’t of much use.

As soon as Su Yu leaves, the disease on him would become a source of infection, bringing Yi more infectees.

If Su Yu prays to the Radiant Emperor, he might even actually transmit the disease to the Radiant Emperor.

The last cosmic undead targeted the Jing God, trying to replace it.

And this Yi, actually targeted the Radiant Emperor, with quite the appetite indeed.

If it succeeds, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Whatever this disease is, I wonder if there’s any way to eliminate it..."

"But I sense nothing at all, how might I eliminate it?"

Su Yu fell into contemplation, and after a long time, he finally had a hint of an idea.

During this period, that Yi remained silent, seemingly too lazy to bother with Su Yu.

Su Yu suddenly asked, "You want me to leave, become a source of infection, attract other organisms to come here and have their information absorbed by you. Ideally, I should pray to the Radiant Emperor, letting the Radiant Emperor get infected by you, right?"

[Yes, so just leave.]

Yi at this moment had nothing left to hide, anyway, Su Yu couldn’t do anything to it.

Su Yu asked again, "Then, if other cosmic undead are devoured by you, wouldn’t the effect be much better than with normal biological civilizations?"

[Other cosmic undead?]

Yi’s tone changed slightly.

A moment later, Yi replied: [Indeed, ’similar’ beings are better ’food’ for me, better than ordinary biological civilizations, as they carry the information of a universe...]

Su Yu nodded and said, "I know the location of two cosmic undead, and I can take this ’disease’ there to infect them."

Yi immediately said: [Very good, then go quickly!]

It seemed somewhat impatient.

Su Yu shook his head, "It will require you to pay a certain price."

"Yi" immediately said: [You’ve contracted the disease and will uncontrollably spread the infection, working for me. Why should I pay any price?]

Clearly, to Yi’s view, Su Yu, as the infected, is already a puppet of the disease, subject to its control, requiring no compensation or fees.

Su Yu chuckled lightly and said, "You should have noticed, my battleship can travel outside the universe, it’s a ship from a thousand years ago used by the Human Empire to hunt cosmic undead."

"I can completely activate the battleship and leave this universe."

"From outside the universe, can your disease still function normally? Even if it functions, attracting organisms from outside the universe, they would only be devoured by the Primordial Universe, so what does it have to do with you?"

Su Yu’s words were just to tell Yi that he is not entirely helpless against the disease and won’t be manipulated by Yi.

Actually, Su Yu hadn’t finished his part, it’s that he himself also has a Little Universe, where it should also block the power of the disease.

Though it might also be infected by Yi, so Su Yu wouldn’t return easily to the Little Universe until absolutely necessary.

This time, Yi sank into a longer silence.

After a long while, it spoke again: [What do you want?]

Su Yu said, "Knowledge! I want to know what cosmic undead really are, why the Primordial Universe devours other universes and leaves behind undead like you? What is your ultimate goal in occupying this Oming Time System? And what happened to the Tenth Prince?"

Su Yu asked several key questions.

Upon hearing these questions, Yi seemed to chuckle: [Do you think I would tell you these? Information is my most precious treasure, not to mention these crucial pieces of information.]

Su Yu, however, smiled and said, "Compared to the expected gains, these concessions seem like nothing. After all, if successful, you can devour two cosmic undead. The information they contain is far more than what I’m asking for."

This time, Yi remained silent for a long time before finally saying: [You’re indeed right...]
