After following Xu Jiujiu there, Lu Yu abandoned that lead and turned to investigating some of the merchant associations selling players.
He discovered that the people in these associations really were all ordinary people. It seemed that the Holy Spirit Cult had only rushed in additional personnel on the first day because they had been short-handed.
Moreover, this merchant association from the Sun Moon Empire had completed a deal with the Star Luo Empire's Imperial Family. Its operations gradually expanded, large numbers of Star Luo City locals joined in, and fewer and fewer of the association's original personnel remained.
Meanwhile, Elder Yi squeezed an entire day out of his already beast-of-burden work schedule to research the player.
In the end, he angrily delivered his verdict: this was nothing but an ordinary player. Other than playing recordings, it wasn't good for a damn thing. Its internal core array was extremely cheap, a thoroughly industrialized assembly-line product.
Forget serving as a node in some array-inject just a little too much soul power into it, and it would break down on the spot.
It's probably just some evil propaganda film.
After two or three days of fruitless investigation, Lu Yu no longer wanted to pursue the matter. Even if there was a conspiracy, the Star Luo Empire would be the one to suffer. What did that have to do with him?
Besides, judging by how quickly these soul tool players were making money, even if Evil Soul Masters were exposed as the people behind them, the Star Luo Empire would quietly continue cooperating.
After all, they must have taken these soul tools apart and studied them themselves. The principles were simple, with absolutely no room for tampering.
As for telling Xu Jiujiu and getting her to believe him?
Don't make your big sister
