"What's wrong?"

Qin looked at Duke strangely.

"I seem to have discovered something incredible..."

Duke did not answer directly. He first carefully recalled the development of the matter, then reorganized his inferences, and finally said:

"According to my speculation, the leader of the Hyena Gang has not left, he has always been with the Hyena Gang!"

As soon as Duke said these words, everyone was shocked!

Karl's eyes were as bright as lightning, staring at Duke.

"Mr. Duke, are you telling the truth?"

"I think the probability is very high."

Duke didn't say enough.

He combined his speculation with the information in the newspaper and explained it to everyone.

After everyone was silent for a while, Karl looked at Duke and said:

"Mr. Duke, I think your speculation is very reasonable. I want to go to the Hyena Gang to have a look!"

If there was anyone in their group who hated the leader of the Hyena Gang the most, it was definitely Karl.

Duke expressed his understanding. He thought for a while and said:

"Not to mention that Mr. Carl is one of our own, let's just say that the leader of the Hyena Gang also has a grudge against me. Now that I have discovered where he may be hiding, I naturally have no reason not to go. Why don't we go there together? If he

If he is really there, then find him out!"

"good!"

After some discussion, everyone decided to go out at night.

With Karl, the top combat power here, if the leader of the Hyena Gang is really here, he doesn't believe that the other party can still escape!

Although Karl's actions may cause black mist, Karl can foresee that as long as he controls the frequency of his attacks, there is a high probability that black mist will not come in the near future.

As for the city defense troops, Duke naturally tried his best to avoid conflicts with them. His target was very clear, which was the leader of the Hyena Gang.

To be honest, the conflict between Duke and the leader of the Hyena Gang was just a matter of some of the other party's lackluster subordinates, which offended Duke, and then expanded step by step.

Duke even guessed that the leader of the Hyena Gang might not know his identity yet.

But the enemy is the enemy, and it is true that the other party has angered Duke, and he will not be soft-hearted.

But before making preparations, Duke suddenly remembered that he seemed to have forgotten something.

"By the way, that woman..."

About three seconds later, Duke finally remembered.

Duke took Alyssa out together and came to Building 3 next door.

Building 4 and Building 3 are side by side, and Duke plans to turn back and merge Building 3 into Building 4, which means they will be connected to each other and become one building.

Because there are a lot of things at the moment, and he still has two companies to worry about, he will discuss the merger later. Anyway, he is not in a hurry now.

However, Building 3 is not vacant either, and Duke has locked up the sneaky woman that Qin captured before.

"What's that woman's name? Blanche?"

"Yes, young master, her name is Blanche."

Duke and Alyssa talked and entered Building 3 together.

Several burly men nodded respectfully to Duke, walked all the way inside, and came to a room with sealed windows and only a door.

"This is it."

Alyssa said softly.

After Blanche was captured by Jean, she was locked up in Building 3 by Duke, but this woman was very dishonest after waking up and always wanted to escape.

If it had been anyone else, Duke would have killed Blanche, but after all, Blanche was also a high-level member of the Hyena Gang and had some understanding of the gang leader. Duke thought it might be useful to keep her, so he temporarily spared her life.

However, in order to prevent the other party from continuing to think about what is and is not, Duke asked Qin to teach her a lesson.

Duke didn't know exactly how he taught her a lesson. Anyway, Qin took her to Building 3. After a while, Qin said that the other party was much more honest.

After handing it over to Qin, Duke stopped taking care of it.

Before going to the Hyena Gang to find the gang leader, Duke thought it might be time to talk to him to see if he could get some more useful information.

Although Karl was friends with the leader of the Hyena Gang before, he didn't know much about him.

Arriving in Building 3, Alyssa took out the key and opened the door.

It was dark inside, without even a trace of light.

Duke walked in first, followed by Alyssa, and closed the door gently.

As soon as he entered, Duke smelled an unpleasant smell, the smell of blood.

In the darkness, his vision automatically changed to night vision, and he saw the woman hanging in mid-air at a glance.

The woman was naked and had her eyes closed, wondering if she was asleep.

But after hearing the noise, she trembled and seemed to wake up instantly, with a look of panic on her face.

Since there was no light, Blanche could not see anything, but she vaguely felt someone coming, which made her even more frightened.

Duke looked at the scene in front of him and suddenly raised his eyebrows.

Qin is very good at playing!

Alyssa didn't have night vision, so she turned on the light out of habit.

Snapped--

Looking at the scene in front of her, Alyssa was stunned.

I saw that the woman named Blanche was hanging in the air in a strange posture without any clothes on.

There was some unknown liquid on the ground, like urine or something, and it had an unpleasant smell.

There were no scars on Blanche's body, but she was dirty and had all kinds of filthiness.

There were some instruments of torture nearby, a faucet with no water, and so on.

The weather is already very cold now. Although the temperature inside the room is much higher than outside, Blanche is obviously unable to keep out the cold.

The moment she opened the door, cold wind blew in, making her body tremble even more.

Blanche looked dying at this time, and Duke felt as if she might die at any time.

But Duke had no mercy, after all, this woman had threatened him in the first place.

"please……"

The sudden appearance of light made Blanche, who had not seen a trace of light for several days, quickly close her eyes, and even burst into tears stimulated by the light.

She wanted to say something, but she didn't even have the strength to speak. If Duke hadn't had good hearing, she wouldn't have been able to hear clearly.

Duke frowned and came to Blanche.

He looked at Blanche, who was as dirty as any mutant in the wilderness, and frowned and said:

"Can you still talk?"

Hearing Duke's voice, Blanche wanted to open her eyes, but the light from the headlight was so dazzling that she couldn't open them for a while.

Duke suppressed his nausea, stretched out his hands, pressed her head with one hand, and forced her eyelids open with the other.

Suddenly, dazzling light entered Blanche's eyes, and tears flowed out uncontrollably.

Blanche finally saw the person in front of her, but she felt like she was going blind.

Duke didn't show any pity for her, he asked expressionlessly:

"Blanche, do you still know me?"

Duke didn't know how Qin taught the other party. Although the other party had no physical scars, he seemed to be mentally tortured, especially his eyes were dull, making him feel like a fool.

But fortunately, when Duke asked the question, the other party nodded quickly.

"Uh-huh……"

Duke then let go of his hand, as long as he wasn't stupid.

As soon as he let go, the other party quickly closed her eyes, but because she was tied by the rope, she couldn't protect her head with her hands, so her body trembled, which looked a little funny.

Duke frowned and walked directly under the light bulb, just in time to block the light for Blanche, and she slowly calmed down.

"The hyena gang is gone."

Duke spoke.

Blanche lowered her head, trembled slightly, and had no major reaction.

"The Hyena Gang was wiped out and everyone died."

Duke said again.

This time, Blanche finally raised her head. There were still tears in her eyes, but Duke still saw a hint of shock.

"No, you can't..."

Duke took out today's newspaper and placed it in front of Blanche's eyes.

"Nothing is impossible. I don't need to lie to you. An out-of-control awakener appeared in the Hyena Gang. Overnight, the Hyena Gang was wiped out. No one can escape."

After Duke finished speaking, he seemed to have remembered something and then said.

"Oh, yes, except for you, you are lucky enough not to be in the hyena gang, so you happened to be spared."

"..."

Blanche was really stupid this time.

She was already at this point, and Duke really had no reason to lie to her.

Blanche never imagined that the hyena gang she relied on for survival would be gone?

If we say that her hope of survival before was to expect the Hyena Gang to negotiate with Duke and then pay a small price to exchange her back.

After all, she has worked for the Hyena Gang for so many years, and she has worked hard without any credit. The gang leader will definitely not be so unkind... right?

Thinking of the cruel gang leader, Blanche felt a little desperate.

There is a high probability that the Hyena Gang will not save him, and they don't even know that she is captured, but... there is a thought after all, what if?

But now, this thought is completely gone, and the hope is shattered!

There was a trace of confusion in Blanche's eyes. Without the Hyena Gang to rely on, whether she could survive, let alone revenge, was a question.

Duke looked at Blanche, who was a little disappointed, and suddenly said:

"I'm quite interested in you as gang leader. If you can satisfy my curiosity, I will consider letting you live."

Duke was afraid that the other party would become discouraged and hang up, so he quickly got to the point.

But what Duke didn't expect was that Blanche's eyes lit up after hearing what he said. She endured the discomfort and said quickly in a weak voice:

"I said, I said everything..."

Blanche is actually very aggrieved.

Because when Qin was teaching her a lesson, she didn't ask any questions at all!

She thought that Qin wanted to ask something and press her for something. Blanche originally thought that she might have some room for maneuver by exchanging information with Qin in her mind.

But who knew, Qin didn't ask at all, wasn't curious about anything, that horrible woman was here specifically to torture her!

This makes Blanche miserable.

After experiencing a period of despair and darkness, Jean finally left, but Blanche felt scarier than death these days!

Now that she heard that Duke was finally going to ask questions, she wanted to open her mind and let Duke come in to see it in person!

After some not very smooth communication.

Duke also gradually learned about the leader of the Hyena Gang from Blanche.

The short answer is that he is a ruthless person who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals.

This is similar to what Duke had in mind.

Blanche's speech was very disorganized. She said whatever came to her mind, intermittently, and there wasn't much useful information.

However, Duke still got some interesting information.

Blanche said that she once saw the leader of the Hyena Gang talking to someone on the phone very respectfully. That was the first time she saw the other person being so respectful.

Moreover, the person making the call was not a personal computer, but a separate communication device. This device was carefully placed in a hidden safe by their gang leader.

Although Blanche didn't know the specific situation, she knew she couldn't talk about this kind of thing, so she pretended not to see it, and even subconsciously made herself forget about it.

If it weren't for the special situation now, she might not be able to remember it.

This news was valuable to Duke, and Duke asked again about the location of the safe.

Blanche naturally answered everything.

After that, Blanche said a lot more, until she really had nothing to say, then she weakly lowered her head.

He, who had little strength to begin with, said so much in one breath, she felt like she was really about to die.

Duke estimated that given Blanche's current situation, she wouldn't have the guts to deceive him, but he still wanted to warn her.

Duke reached out and pinched Blanche's chin, forcing her to look at him.

The other hand was combing Blanche's hair, gently peeling back her messy hair that clung to her face.

Revealing Blanche's bloodless face, and her somewhat hollow and somewhat frightened eyes.

"I hope what you said is true."

"Uh-huh--"

Blanche nodded frantically, but Duke grabbed her chin and she couldn't move.

"very good."

Duke touched her head as if stroking a pet.

Then without saying anything more, he and Alyssa left together.

Blanche didn't react until the lights dimmed again.

"Please, stop torturing me, I'm willing to do whatever you want..."

boom!

The door has been closed, and Blanche fell into despair again...

Outside, Duke asked Alyssa:

"What do you think about this woman? Kill her?"

"Master, I don't know."

Alyssa lowered her head and said.

"Forget it, I keep my word and give her a chance. When I go to the Hyena Gang, if I find the safe, I will spare her life. If I don't find it, don't blame me..."

Duke shook his head, not bothering anymore.

To be honest, although he was not someone easy to kill, there was a conflict between the two of them, and Duke planned to kill her.

But after the questioning just now, Duke suddenly discovered a problem, that is, this Blanche seems to be quite capable.

The fact that the Hyena Gang has grown to its current scale has something to do with her.

And Duke is now in need of someone. If she can be used for him, Duke doesn't mind letting her live.

Of course, these are things for the future, at least until she comes back from the Hyena Gang.

After returning to Building 4, Duke saw Qin cleaning her sword. He asked strangely:

"Jean, how did you teach Blanche a lesson?"

Duke just took a look and found that there were no injuries on Blanche's body. It didn't look like she had been abused, but her spirit was indeed very depressed and she felt like she might die at any time.

That's why he asked Qin, otherwise he would have no curiosity about this kind of thing.

After Qin heard Duke's words, she immediately said with some trepidation:

"I, I saw it in the book..."

"What kind of book is it? Is it serious?"

Duke was stunned.

Qin didn't hide it, she went back to the room and brought out a thin book.

After Duke got started, he was a little surprised. The material of this book was obviously a relic item.

When I opened it, I saw, sure enough, the word "relic" was written on it, and it was also in Japanese.

Although Duke has no research on Japanese, he has number two.

The moment he saw the Japanese text, a lot of things suddenly came to his mind.

Duke blinked, and when he looked again, it was like reading Chinese characters without any obstruction.

"Call Manual..."

These big words above gave Duke a dark look on his face.

He quickly turned to the next page and sure enough, the content was the same as the title of the book, and there were many simple drawings similar to stick figures.

"You can understand?"

Duke asked curiously.

"I can't understand it, but there are pictures!"

Qin pointed to the illustrations in the book and said.

"Then do you know what this is for?"

Duke asked again.

"I don't know, but I guess this was done through torture. Although it feels a little strange, the effect is still achieved..."

Qin's face turned slightly red.

The posture of the villain in this picture is weird and even makes people a little shy, but there are many torture instruments on it, which is obviously used to extract confessions through torture.

Although she can't read, she can still talk by looking at pictures.

After hearing this, Duke was speechless.

He finally understood why Blanche was tortured to the point of dying.

Qin couldn't read the words, so she was completely free to look at the pictures.

There are many pictures in this book, but they are barely coherent. Qin followed this and tortured Blanche to death.

Don't think wrongly, although some of the pictures in this book are quite revealing, this is not a book that tortures the body, but starts with the spirit.

for example.

In a dark environment, he pretended to cut Blanche's wrist, and then placed a faucet next to it, which kept dripping water slowly, making Blanche think that she would slowly bleed to death...

There are many similar methods.

Qin couldn't read the words and didn't know the time, precautions and other information mentioned in the book.

The book said that a few hours is already a long time, but when we arrived at Qin, a few days passed by!

Duke suddenly felt that it was a miracle that Blanche was not dead!

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Duke looking at her strangely, Qin suddenly felt uncomfortable.

"It's nothing, I just think you are awesome."

Duke returned the book to Jean.

If he had time in the future, he would briefly explain it to Qin.

Now is obviously not the time to think about this.

night.

After Duke and his party put on makeup and preparations, when the sky turned completely dark, a dilapidated car quietly left Ping An Street.

The nights in the City of Dawn have never been very peaceful.

Along the way, they encountered several groups of sentries alone, not to mention the sirens that sounded from time to time.

In the car, Qin frowned.

"It's getting more and more chaotic lately..."

The group of people dodged sentries and police cars and spent a lot of time getting to the hyena gang.

On the way, Duke saw many four-star wanted posters, and the wanted person was Karl, but Duke was not too worried.

Because there is no Karl's name or portrait on these wanted posters, it is just a mysterious black shadow.

Obviously, they don't know Carl's identity now.

It is estimated that apart from Duke and the others, the only person who knows Carl's identity is the leader of the Hyena Gang. This also made Duke determined that the leader of the Hyena Gang must die!

As long as he dies, no one will know who this mysterious out-of-control awakener is, and Duke will not be at risk of being implicated...

The Hyena Gang was pretty much what it said in the newspapers. From a distance, I could see a lot of city defense troops stationed around, and some sentries walking around.

Only three people came this time, namely Duke, Qin and Carl.

As for Alyssa and Alger, Duke stayed at home.

Although Alyssa is not inferior to other awakened people when using her prophecy ability, her physical fitness is relatively weak after all, and she is not suitable for such actions.

And Alger is because he is good at defense, and Duke is not going to fight with the city defense army, so it is better to let him stay at home.

Besides, there are more and more awakened people now, and Duke has to distribute them reasonably.

Someone has to guard the home. Although the chance of someone attacking Duke's base camp is very small, we have to be on guard. After all, no one knows whether things like the last night attack by the hyena gang will happen.

Of course, there is another most important reason, because Karl is here.

This is the ceiling-level combat power in Shuguang City. Even if they don't attack with all their strength, ordinary people can't stand it.

After parking the car, the three Dukes came to the edge of the Hyena Gang.

There are currently no sentries here, but there are several heavily armed city defense troops.

The strength of the three of them was extraordinary, and with Karl around, it didn't take much effort to escape the sight of the city defense troops and quietly enter the Hyena Gang.

Karl let go of Duke's arm, Duke pointed in a direction, and the three of them moved forward silently.

After walking for a while, Duke discovered that the city defense army was tight on the outside and loose on the inside against the hyena gang. Maybe it was because they had rested at night.

There were many soldiers outside, but not many people inside.

Duke estimated that it wouldn't be long before the city defense forces retreated. After all, Karl, the culprit, had never been found, and they couldn't spend time here forever.

Not long after, Duke arrived at the small apartment where the leader of the Hyena Gang lived.

There was no one on the way, so I came in easily.

But before entering, Duke went to the warehouse again and saw that it was indeed flooded with water. Duke was very satisfied.

Because Matthew had drawn a map for him, he knew that the door of the secret passage from the apartment to the underground warehouse opened outward!

In other words, under the action of water pressure, people in the secret passage will most likely not be able to open the door!

Arriving at the small apartment again, everyone entered carefully.

Recalling the previous conversation with Matthew, Duke led the two of them to explore and found a very hidden electronic switch.

Duke was immediately delighted, he liked such high-tech things.

After a second, there was a beep and the unlocking was successful.

Click!

Under the bedside, a small door opened.

Everyone looked at each other but did not enter. Duke took out three grenade-like objects, pulled the tabs, and threw them in.
Chapter completed!
