Chapter 220.1: Teigu
Su Xiao's eyes narrowed.
Akame has definitely been here before.
He began to carefully check the nearby walls, but there were no signs of recent human intervention.
Su Xiao tapped the floor with the dragon flash blade...
*Knock, knock, knock...*
There was an empty space under the floor, and from the sound of it, this space wasn't small.
Taking the sword in both hands, Su Xiao slashed at the floor, but it wasn't enough.
Su Xiao pulled out the blade and threw a couple more punches.
After looking at the blade and finding no blood on it, Su Xiao used all his strength to kick straight at the spot that he had previously attacked with the blade of his sword.
With a crack the floor caved in and a hole appeared in it.
Taking out a flashlight and shining it down, Su Xiao saw a tunnel slightly away from the hole formed.
Akame escaped using this tunnel.
— The capital's guards are so stupid, the capital must have turned into a Night Raid nest long ago, " Su Xiao muttered. She escaped through such a primitive tunnel. The capital's guards were really useless if they didn't even know that tunnels like this had been dug under the capital.
After cutting a bigger hole, Su Xiao jumped down into the tunnel.
Smelling a strong smell of mildew, Su Xiao used the flashlight to light up the area around him and walked forward.
There was only one path in this tunnel.
The underground passage wasn't located too deep — it was probably only five or six meters underground, and judging from the tunnel walls, it was already very old.
This tunnel looked more like a miner's passageway. Planks supported the ceiling from the top and sides. Sometimes there were even metal frames in the aisles. If all these props hadn't supported this tunnel, it might have collapsed long ago.
This entire tunnel looked very unreliable and seemed like it could collapse at any moment. It took some guts to climb into this tunnel.
Even though the tunnel and its supports looked frayed, he couldn't see any signs that this tunnel was about to collapse. Even if all those planks and metal supports had rotted away long ago, the tunnel wouldn't have collapsed anytime soon.
After confirming that there was nothing wrong with the tunnel, Su Xiao began to slowly move forward.
He got something out of this Akame harassment. He found another use for his ability.
After the Qing Gang Yin energy penetrated his enemy's body, he could sense the enemy's location if they were within a certain distance of him.
Qing Gang Yin's energy was like a coordinate, and he was the only one who could detect this coordinate.
This feature was very good for harassing people. If his enemy was injured and this energy entered his body, he wouldn't be able to escape from it.
The reason why Akame was able to escape was because Su Xiao wasn't familiar with the capital's terrain, and obstacles kept appearing in his way.
After walking through the tunnel for a while, Su Xiao saw a pool of blood on the ground. Bloodstained underwear and a piece of cloth were left next to the blood.
Immediately after such a discovery, he accelerated and in about ten minutes found himself in front of a fork in the road.
There was no clue left at the fork, so he could only choose one of the directions at random.
If he chose the right one, he would be able to catch up with Akame, and if he didn't, he would miss such a great opportunity.
Most people subconsciously chose a side based on their leading hand.
Most people wrote with their right hand, and they unconsciously always raised their right hand when they wanted to do something.
Su Xiao used his right hand and always used it to hold the sword.
People usually chose sides in situations like this based on their leading hand.
But in any case, everything depended on his luck right now, so he chose the right side.
After half an hour of active movement, Su Xiao realized that he had made the wrong choice.
It came to a dead end.
Of course, it wasn't entirely true to say that he had made the wrong choice. After all, Akame had clearly been in this tunnel before and knew that the right passage led to a dead end, while he didn't know anything about this underground passage.
The ground in front of him had clearly been there for a long time, so Su Xiao could only go back. Just as he turned around and took a few steps, he noticed a faint metallic glint in the ground.
As he crouched down and slammed his sword into the ground, he heard a clang.
There was a hidden metal door in this abandoned tunnel?
Su Xiao followed this path for about half an hour, and even if he went back at his maximum speed, it would take more than ten minutes, so he definitely wouldn't be able to catch up with Akame.
And this metal door piqued Su Xiao's curiosity. It suddenly occurred to him that this was some sort of hidden treasure.
In the end, Su Xiao quickly took out a white shield from his inventory and used it as a shovel to dig.
He got this shield in the world of titans, but it was damaged, and its repair cost was the same as a new shield, but even though it was useless, he didn't want to throw it away.
After a few minutes, Su Xiao removed the dirt from the metal door and saw a red rusty metal door.
In the center of the metal door was the Imperial flag.
Su Xiao took hold of the door handle with both hands and started to pull on it.
*L-I-I-I-I-z-g!*
