'One or two thousand awakened people. Tens of thousands of peripheral members?'
‘How many thousands of people are there in West Texas alone?’
'This Renaissance Society is quite powerful.'
'But in order to keep confidentiality, these members all have one-way contact with their superiors?'
'You don't even know the real name of the organization?'
'Well......'
Fang Ze lowered his head and pondered,
'Then... Now that Cui Xuemin has been arrested, as long as I get the contact information, can I secretly use his subordinates?'
Thinking of this, Fang Ze's eyes couldn't help but light up,
'That's right. There are so many cannon fodders that are cheap and don't hurt, so they are all in vain if you don't use them.'
Thinking like this, Fang Ze did not express his thoughts. He thought for a while, then raised his head, looked at Cui Xuemin, imitated Bai Zhi's tone, and said, "Since you don't want to talk about this, then tell me about your organization.
How did you contact me?"
Cui Xuemin lay on the ground without saying a word.
Thanks to the lack of people with psychic abilities in this world, although he said nothing, he did not deliberately avoid Fang Ze's questions...
After a minute, "Bai Zhi" looked at Cui Xuemin coldly, "Still not talking? Where are the other murderers in the case now?"
Cui Xuemin continued to remain silent.
After another minute, "Bai Zhi" continued to ask, "What is your status in the organization?"
another minute,
"Do you have any other offline people?"
Another minute,
"How do you assign tasks to your subordinates? Is there any secret code for communication?"
I don’t know if Cui Xuemin is too depressed to stay here, or if people don’t think about it, they will become stupid.
Anyway, no matter what Fang Ze asked, although Cui Xuemin would not open his mouth to answer, he would think about almost every question casually in his mind, or complain about it.
Of course, what's more, it's the despair about the current situation that I'm in, and...the abuse and ridicule of Bai Zhi.
However, no matter what, after excluding a lot of invalid information, Fang Ze still got some of the information he wanted from his intermittent inner words.
The organizational structure of the Renaissance Society is divided into six levels: leader-saints-messengers-senior members-ordinary members-peripheral members.
Cui Xuemin belongs to the third level: envoy. He is responsible for the affairs of the entire Emerald City and the five lower-level cities below it.
There are 2 senior members (fusions), 10 ordinary members (awakeners), and 89 peripheral members (warriors). They are all hidden in various cities.
Among them, he only led senior members (fusions) to meet his superior saints.
The identity of ordinary members (awakened ones) has been reported to the higher-level saints, but the higher-level saints have never seen it.
The other peripheral members are not even known to the superior saint and are completely under his management.
And if something happens to him, the superior saints will activate an emergency plan and transfer senior members directly to preserve their strength; they will reestablish contact with ordinary members to avoid losing contact; as for peripheral members, they will give up completely.
Therefore, Fang Ze can at least intercept the peripheral members in his hands.
Those are all warriors who have been trained for several years, or people with the potential to awaken, and they are considered very good cannon fodder.
And if he is bolder, he can disguise himself as Cui Xuemin and issue tasks to ordinary members (awakened ones).
As for the communication method between Cui Xuemin and his subordinates, it is also very simple, it is the Noble Phantasm of Communication.
The organization has made a set of extraordinary Noble Phantasms for each apostle, which is used as a communication device. The mother body is on the apostle, and the child body is in the hands of each subordinate, so that messages can be easily passed on.
And because you can only open the treasure if you know the correct way to use it, and every time you transmit a message, a secret code is hidden. So... it is very safe...
After finding out the situation of Cui Xuemin and his members, Fang Ze found that he disguised himself as Bai Zhi and asked questions. This investigation method was indeed very effective.
It was especially interesting to listen to Cui Xuemin scolding Bai Zhi in his mind while asking questions...
Therefore, he took advantage of the victory and began to continue asking.
"What are you looking for in this massacre?"
"Do you have any information or clues about the mysterious organization that attacked you?"
"In addition to this task, do you have any other tasks recently?"...
Question after question was asked.
Cui Xuemin always huddled in the corner and said nothing.
He didn't talk to him or pay any attention to Fang Ze, as if he was deaf and mute.
Moreover, although he still occasionally thought about the questions Fang Ze asked unconsciously in his heart, his thoughts gradually began to become more and more restrained.
Because...he finally felt something was wrong.
There are indeed not many people with psychic abilities in this world, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t any. Cui Xuemin didn’t pay attention at first, but that doesn’t mean he won’t pay attention forever…
As "Bai Zhi" asked questions one after another, but never cared about his silence, Cui Xuemin always felt as if he had missed something...
He secretly looked at the "Baizhi" in front of him.
Although the clothes and appearance are exactly the same as those of Bai Zhi, but... upon closer inspection, it seems to lack some of the nobility and arrogance of Bai Zhi.
After he had some awareness, he discovered more things that were wrong.
Why is the posture of the Angelica dahurica in front of me not in line with aristocratic etiquette?
The tone of conversation of the Angelica dahurica in front of me seems to be different from that of Angelica dahurica?
And, the most important thing is...how could this Bai Zhi in front of me talk to me about so many problems!
Based on his understanding of Bai Zhi, if he dares not to answer three questions in a row, Bai Zhi will twist off his Tianling Cap!
So...could it be that...the person in front of me is not Bai Zhi at all?
With the birth of this idea, Cui Xuemin suddenly felt a little chilly all over.
Because, if the person in front of you is not Bai Zhi, then it proves that the person in front of you probably has a strong disguise ability.
And with this ability, she came to see herself disguised as Bai Zhi and asked so many questions, why?
Obviously to get information from myself.
But I have never answered the question. Why does the other party not care at all and continue to ask?
If the person in front of him was a normal interrogator, Cui Xuemin might not care about this situation.
But if it is an unknown ability user.
So...will the other party have the ability to...read minds, peek into memories, etc.?
Although this ability is extremely rare, and its effect is very weak when faced with awakened people and fusion people protected by laws.
But just because it's rare, doesn't mean it's not available.
Maybe the Security Bureau took this case seriously and transferred a master from who knows which state.
When he thought of this, Cui Xuemin felt even colder!
Because, he suddenly discovered an even more terrifying fact: if the other party is really an esper with such a rare ability, then... whatever he is thinking now, the other party can read it!
Doesn’t this mean that if you discover something about the other party, at this moment, the other party will discover it?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at the "Baizhi" in front of him in horror.
And sure enough, after hearing his inner voice, the "Bai Zhi" in front of him finally stopped pretending.
That "Baizhi" clearly had the appearance of Baizhi, but she yawned in an indistinct manner, and even spread her legs in an exaggerated manner and squatted down.
Seeing "Bai Zhi"'s beautiful appearance making such an imageless action, Cui Xuemin felt like he was going crazy!
He felt that if he told Bai Zhi this scene, even if Bai Zhi betrayed the security bureau, she would chase the person in front of her to the ends of the earth!
However, he really doesn't have the leisure to watch the other party's civil strife now! Because he has realized belatedly that he has revealed too many organizational secrets!
He was really worried that if he chatted with the other party for a few more words, more secrets would be revealed!
At this moment, he just wanted to pass out quickly or...die.
He remembered the tutorial during the organization's training: It is useless to bite your tongue and commit suicide. If all suicide methods are ineffective, the best way is to hit the wall...
Thinking of this, he moved his eyes and saw the wall next to him.
He hesitated for a moment, and then used all the strength in his body to slam into the wall!
Hearing the sound of "Peng!", his head hit the wall firmly.
He felt that his vision was dark and he was dizzy.
But...he was not in a coma, nor was he dead.
Therefore, he could only use up his little strength and bang his head against the wall again.
Just like this, once, twice, three times...
He didn't even remember how many times he hit it, but he still didn't faint.
And... I was clearly committing suicide, but the mind-reading person didn't seem to care at all, just looking at me like a clown.
He couldn't help but look over blankly.
Then he heard the mind reader say nonchalantly, "No more collisions?"
"Maybe I forgot to tell you."
"You are not in reality. You are in my realm."
"Here, everything is under my control. You can't die even if you want to..."
Speaking of this, the mind-reading person in front of him snapped his fingers.
Suddenly, the dark cellar in front of him slowly dissipated like foam, and was replaced by an endless abyss burning with flames and lava.
At the end of the abyss, there is a tall black cross with chains tied to it.
The person with the ability waved his hand lightly, and the chains shot out and wrapped around Cui Xuemin's body. Then they retracted and completely tied Cui Xuemin to the cross.
Cui Xuemin looked at everything in front of him in shock.
Then he saw the image of the ability user Bai Zhi slowly shattering, turning into a man's figure shrouded in mist.
A black throne dragged the man up high, then looked at him condescendingly and said in a hoarse voice, "I was thinking of using a gentler way to quietly investigate some information."
"This is good for me and good for you."
"But, now that you've discovered it, then...I won't pretend anymore."
"Accept your upcoming fate..."
At this time, Cui Xuemin was stunned by the scene in front of him.
He is not a novice who has just come into contact with awakening abilities.
Knowing this kind of virtual and real transformation in front of you, you can control the material in the field at will, how powerful is it!
When did the Security Bureau have such a terrifying master?
Moreover, you are here to torture yourself?!
He had never doubted whether everything in front of him was an illusion.
But the pain of hitting the wall, the coldness of the chains that bound him, and the feeling of pinching himself secretly all proved that everything before him was real.
He looked at the man in front of him a little desperately, and then asked involuntarily,
"Are you from the Security Bureau?"
The man slowly shook his head, "No."
Cui Xuemin's eyes couldn't help but have a glimmer of light, "Then... Your Excellency, is there some misunderstanding between us? I don't seem to have provoked you, right?"
The man shook his head.
Cui Xuemin, "Then..."
The man sat high on the throne, looked at him with his chin in his hand, and then said, "But when you went to bed yesterday, you closed your left eye first."
Cui Xuemin, "Shrimp?"
Cui Xuemin was a little confused.
He had no idea that this could also be an excuse for the other party to interrogate him.
And...did I really close my left eye first?
.........
Half an hour later, Cui Xuemin was lying on the ground with bruises all over his body and his eyes unfocused.
Fang Ze walked over slowly.
Perhaps sensing the terrifying man approaching, Cui Xuemin raised his head with difficulty, and then looked at the man, his eyes full of confusion and confusion, "Please...please tell me the truth."
Fang Ze looked at Cui Xuemin condescendingly, then shook his head slightly, "You think too much. It's really because you closed your left eye first when you went to bed yesterday."
With that said, Fang Ze knelt down, took out the dagger, put it against Cui Xuemin's chest, and then slowly stabbed it in.
Blood gushed out, and Cui Xuemin trembled. He looked at Fang Ze in disbelief, and then the brilliance in his eyes gradually disappeared...
At the last moment of his life, what he thought was: That's wrong...Don't normal people close their eyes together when sleeping?
Looking at Cui Xuemin's body that was slowly losing its vitality, Fang Ze shook his head slightly: Murderers will always be killed. When Cui Xuemin commanded the killing of wealthy businessmen, wiped out Han Kaiwei, and wanted to hunt down himself, all of this might be possible.
It's doomed...
Even myself, when I stepped into this game, my life was no longer my own...
So...in order to survive, I can only become stronger and stronger!
So strong that no one can threaten you!
While thinking this, Fang Ze picked up the prepared vegetable oil and poured it on Cui Xuemin's body. Then he took out a box of matches, rubbed them, and flicked them on.
"Hoo!" The flames rushed to a height of three feet, and then burned Cui Xuemin's body.
Gradually, Cui Xuemin's body slowly disappeared like a bubble...
Watching Cui Xuemin's body disappear little by little, Fang Ze felt relieved: the golden fox that had troubled him for so long was finally solved...
However, he couldn't help but sigh: But...the greater danger seems to be approaching...
.........
at the same time.
Real world, task force.
Under the dark night, the task force suddenly shouted loudly, "Someone, come quickly! The cellar is on fire!"
"Someone come quickly!"
Ten minutes later, the fire in the cellar was extinguished, but everyone found that Cui Xuemin had been burned to death in the cellar.
The commissioners quickly went to ask Bai Zhi for instructions.
After Bai Zhi finished listening, she was silent for a while.
But in the end, she said, "It's okay. That's it. Store Cui Xuemin's body first and bring it back to the Emerald City in a few days."
"Now that the Flower Festival is coming soon, we already have the basic information about this organization, and there is another suspect in the bureau who can be interrogated, so there will be no further complications."
The commissioner obeyed the order and walked out quickly...
But when the commissioner went out, Bai Zhi clenched her fists unwillingly...
.......
And at the same time.
Eastern Jurisdiction Region.
Directly affiliated states.
The room with the dark giant hand and the candle.
The 13 saints in the Renaissance Society were communicating in a low voice...
The old voice was a little dejected, "Golden Fox must have failed...he had no news for a whole day, and his life was extinguished just now."
"And his father, because he has also been arrested. One of our arms in Cedar State is equivalent to being completely severed."
"And it's the Flower Festival soon..."
"Flower Festival..."
He was only halfway through what he said when the female voice who opposed him last time couldn't help but sneered and interrupted him, "I told you that Golden Fox is not good, but you still don't believe it."
"Last time, I promised Jin Hu would handle it well. He would handle it well."
"As a result, this is how it was handled?"
"Flower Festival?"
"How dare you talk about Hua Chao Festival?"
"Don't you know that pervert Gu Qing will go? If you try to help him in, you might even get his other arm cut off!"
Hearing what the female voice said, the old voice suppressed her anger, "Are you interested in making sarcastic remarks? The death of Jin Hu is also a loss to the organization, isn't it?"
"Now, we should find ways to solve the dilemma instead of blaming each other."
"If you have the ability, you can come too, right?"
The female voice said "haha" and laughed, "How do you know I didn't come?"
"Let me tell you... Cedar State, I have penetrated it a long time ago. I am buried deeper than you."
"In this operation, Jin Hu made a lot of mistakes. If my people hadn't been secretly helping to deal with it, he would have been caught by the Security Bureau long ago, completely exposing the organization."
"How smart do you really think he is?"
"With his brain, he doesn't even know if he is being played to death."
"As for...Hua Chaojie, I think you should stay out of it. My people will take care of it."
"This matter is really important. So many pairs of eyes are staring at it, wanting to pry into the secret."
"The Security Bureau transferred Gu Qing to Emerald City two years ago just for this matter."
"Don't get the secret, and bring everyone in."
"Then... you might as well give me all your people in Cedar State."
"I can also use the waste, hehehehe..."
As she finished speaking, the room fell into silence for a while.
After a moment, an old voice asked, "You buried nails in Cedar State? Why didn't I know that?"
The female voice choked, "Why do you know?"
The old voice was not annoyed this time. Instead, he took a step back and said, "Do you need my cooperation? Is Golden Fox's elimination plan still implemented?"
This time, before the female voice spoke, the young voice that spoke last time said with a smile, "Execute it. Why not execute it?"
"The organization has been exposed. If the elimination plan is not implemented, there will be no fun at all."
"And, I think, not only must we implement it, but we must also increase our efforts."
"There must be fusions and awakeners under Golden Fox, right? Send them all over."
"I also support two fusions."
"Anyway, they are all rubbish that were awakened in batches using special awakening methods."
"The Flower Festival is coming soon. If we can keep Angelica dahurica in Qingshan City forever, or distract the energy of the Security Bureau, it can be considered as a waste."
"The reputation of Angelica dahurica has been heard even in the state where I live."
"I have long wanted to see how powerful this famous master of the younger generation is. Hahahaha..."
As soon as he finished speaking, another old woman's voice slowly continued,
"I...I seem to have heard that Bai Zhi's ability is extremely powerful, but it has huge side effects..."
"It seems like we can't fight for long."
"I don't know...whether it's true or false."
As soon as she finished speaking, the atmosphere in the whole room suddenly became strangely quiet...
For a moment, other sounds in the room,
"I support two fusions."
"I support three."
"I support one, but I will support 20 more awakened people, Jie Jie Jie..."
The candlelight flickered, and even the dark giant hand on the ground began to become twisted and crazy...
...........
at the same time.
Late night investigation room.
After Fang Ze "sent away" Cui Xuemin, he quietly removed the disguise of the investigation room.
Although there were some twists and turns in the interrogation process.
But Fang Ze still got a lot of useful information from Cui Xuemin.
The amount of information was so large that it even made his head hurt.
Among them, some are good and some are bad.
For example, he finally figured out what the Fuxing Society was looking for when they killed wealthy businessmen.
That is an ore called [Qin 28].
It is said that this kind of ore is a companion when the world was born. It is also said that it is a product of the overflowing laws of the world condensed under the influence of nature.
There is no way to verify the specific statement. However, the effect of this ore is very powerful.
It can make ordinary people without any talents become awakened ones, and it can turn ordinary items into extraordinary treasures. It can also be used to control... powerful disaster creatures.
It is a real strategic-level weapon raw material that only nine regions can control.
The purpose of this operation of the Fuxing Society is to obtain this kind of ore.
But unfortunately...nothing was found.
In addition to this information, he also knew a lot of information.
For example, the purge plan left by Cui Xuemin.
For example, Fuxingshe is eyeing the Flower Festival.
For example, some of Bai Zhi's past...
For example, there is a pervert named Gu Qing in Emerald City...
Although he hasn't sorted out this information yet, it makes him full of expectations for tonight's harvest.
Especially after learning that Cui Xuemin was a second-level fusion person with two complete awakening abilities and one awakening ability under development, he became even more excited.
Previously, [Forest Ranger], a high-level awakener, allowed him to obtain a powerful [Awakening Crystal].
So Cui Xuemin, a second-level fusion person, will definitely get more good things for himself, right?
Thinking of this, he didn't even sort out the information in his mind, and came to the table to check the results of this investigation...
