[Name?]
"Zhang San."
[Gender?]
"Are you blind? Can't you see?"
Snap--
The water flow transformed into whips that lashed Zhang San's face.
This was an extremely dark and unknown space. After being swept in by the sewage, he only saw a huge square projection in front of him, on which text appeared, interrogating him with various questions.
Zhang San was just a temporary alias he had created, but the other party didn't seem to care.
[Gender?]
"Male," Zhang San replied weakly.
[What was the purpose of attacking He Ming?]
Zhang San: "I don't like him."
Snap--
The water whip lashed him again.
"Hehe~" Zhang San looked completely unconcerned. Despite being a prisoner, he seemed confident and fearless.
[What is the purpose of attacking He Ming?] This line of text flashed repeatedly on the projector.
"Just passing by, thinking of killing him and slicing him up." Zhang San continued rambling incoherently.
Hu Jiu chuckled. You dare to be so arrogant even after being arrested? You little punk, you think I can't handle you?
Let me guess, what makes you so confident?
Zhang San raised an eyebrow. "Oh, then guess." He did indeed have a trump card; ordinary people couldn't easily defeat him.
[Are you a clone? No matter what kind of damage you take, it won't affect your main body!]
Hu Jiu wrote down his first guess, which was also the most likely one.
Zhang San's expression remained unchanged. "Actually, I am immortal. I am not afraid of pain or death, and I can even regenerate from a drop of blood."
[Lie.]
Hu Jiu had considered this possibility, but quickly dismissed it. An immortal body granted by Supernatural, simply being trapped in the Golden Container, would be no different from being dead, so this was probably not Zhang San's trump card.
Only unimportant clones or fabricated aliases can be discarded without hesitation.
Hu Jiu didn't dwell on the question anymore, but instead asked again: [What was the purpose of attacking He Ming?]
Zhang San said, "I refuse to answer."
Snap--
This time it wasn't a water whip, but an invisible force that didn't affect his body, yet severely damaged his spirit!
"Ah!" Zhang San couldn't help but cry out. His body, constructed of talisman paper, felt no pain, but the mental anguish was unbearable.
[What was the purpose of attacking He Ming?] Hu Jiu asked again.
"I don't know!" Zhang San retorted defiantly.
Snap--
It was yet another blow to the soul.
[No matter what cards you have up your sleeve, I can pry them open. This process will be very unpleasant, so I hope you can hold on.]
Zhang San suddenly had a bad feeling...
While interrogating the prisoners, Hu Jiu urged the newly established Playing Card Organization to work hard.
The Mirage Ghost can replicate Supernatural; it must remain hidden behind the scenes and rapidly expand its power.
In Langzhou City, far from Linjiang City, even the moon dared not peek out from under the cover of night.
Langzhou City is a bustling city, and its nightlife is naturally very vibrant.
The most bustling East Ring District, is a key development area in Langzhou City. Numerous new restaurants, clubs, and other entertainment venues have been built there, and the surrounding area is filled with luxury cars and bright lights, creating an exceptionally lively atmosphere.
However, in this East Ring District, there is a rather special old-fashioned bar - Crocodile Bar. Before even entering this bar located near the underground parking lot of the shopping mall, you can hear a loud and noisy heavy metal music playing in your ears.
This wasn't Xiao Yu's first time here; she knew it was the base of several Senior Employees of the Beidou Organization.
She didn't particularly like noisy places; Xiao Yu preferred to stay at home alone, playing on her phone or computer, or even just spacing out. The atmosphere of nightclubs was never suitable for a reclusive person like her. Although she had been there a few times, she couldn't help but frown every time she entered Crocodile Bar and saw the crowded scene inside.
There's a drinks promotion tonight, so there are even more people than usual. To make matters worse, it's Saturday, so you can imagine how packed the bar is.
Why would those Senior Employees use this place as a meeting point? Aren't they worried about the noise?
However, considering that everyone has a different personality, Xiao Yu stopped worrying about it.
The Beidou Organization has a large number of employees who come from all walks of life, so naturally there are all kinds of people. After experiencing Supernatural events and repeatedly teetering on the brink of life and death, even normal people will inevitably develop personality problems.
Some of these individuals have warped personalities, have become antisocial and inhumane, suffer from mental illnesses, or have become increasingly eccentric and paranoid.
The one Xiao Yu had contacted was alright, but she heard from others that some Senior Employees had degenerated to the point of being abstract and anthropomorphic.
"Why hasn't the Gu Dao arrived yet?"
Gu Dao is the Senior Employee Xiao Yu had contacted. Xiao Yu tried to contact Gu Dao using a code, but doesn't know if he came.
While lost in thought, she turned to glance at the man sitting next to her, Yin Wenxian. His suit and tie seemed somewhat out of place in the bar's atmosphere.
The lights were dim, and the infatuated men and women were partying wildly. The bar's lead dancer was swaying her sexy body, looking hot and alluring.
The more lively the surroundings were, the more annoyed Xiao Yu felt. Suddenly, she stood up, walked through the crowd, and headed towards the emergency exit.
She had just caught a glimpse of Gu Dao's figure flash by, so she hurriedly chased after him.
But as she approached the emergency exit, she immediately sensed something was wrong.
"This is..." The area around the escape door was pitch black, as if a pure black wall blocked the doorway, and behind the door was an extremely dark space.
Xiao Yu looked around and realized that the others in the bar seemed oblivious to the unusual situation; only she noticed what was amiss.
"Is it haunted? Or is it caused by Supernatural Item?" After a little speculation, Xiao Yu, who had some experience, felt that the scene in front of him was most likely related to the Supernatural.
Ordinary people would naturally Neglect this area; they wouldn't realize there's an escape door there, nor would they approach it, as if the place exudes an aura that keeps out unauthorized personnel.
Xiao Yu didn't dare to be careless. She picked up a nearby mop and poked it forward, only to find that she could pass through the darkness. It wasn't a wall, but more like a wisp of black smoke that didn't spread, hanging down from above like a curtain, obscuring the space behind it.
After thinking for a moment, she took a deep breath, mustered her courage, and went inside.
It has to be said that Xiao Yu has become much bolder now. With a Hexagonal Copper Bell, a Playing Cards, and the Queen of Spades promising to protect her life, she has become a little arrogant. At the same time, she has a sense of trust in Crocodile Bar and Gu Dao, so she acted impulsively for once.
"A bunch of bastards, weren't you all so stubborn just now? Why are you silent now!"
Xiao Yu had just stepped through the darkness, heard this sound. Her heart skipped a beat. Oh no, she seemed to have gotten herself into some trouble. Her impulsiveness vanished instantly, replaced by regret. She gripped the Hexagonal Copper Bell and the Playing Cards tightly in her hand, ready to make her move at any moment if things went wrong.
Just as she suspected, a troublesome situation was indeed unfolding in the space behind the escape door. Three senior Big Dipper employees, led by Gu Dao, were being repeatedly rubbed against the ground like dead dogs.
An arrogant young man sat with his legs crossed in a chair, saying, "You're all courting death! I warned you beforehand to hand over what you had, but you insisted on playing dirty tricks, so don't blame me for being impolite!"
The young man looked at the three people lying on the ground with disdain, as if they were three dead dogs.
Xiao Yu froze on the spot. She realized that Gu Dao's current situation was very bad. The young man was indifferent and did not take Xiao Yu, who had unexpectedly broken into the room, and Yin Wenxian, who followed closely behind, seriously. He didn't even bother to give them a glance, completely ignoring them as if they were just insignificant insects.
They were just two nobodys. His Supernatural Item, the "Wangliang Box," could create an alternate dimension in the real world, and everything in that dimension was under his control! In his eyes, Xiao Yu and Yin Wenxian were just ordinary people, so the young man naturally wouldn't take them seriously.
"Liang Rong, you bitch, don't think I don't know you've sided with those bastards abroad and become their accomplice. You think we'll listen to you? Dream on!" The one speaking was Gu Dao, who was lying on the ground. He was Senior Employee whom Xiao Yu knew.
At this moment, he had completely lost his former composure and calmness. His Supernatural Item, a rusty longsword, had also slipped out of his control and was tossed aside like trash not far away.
Gu Dao himself was in an even worse state. He was being trampled on the ground by a tall, thin, skeletal black monster, his hair was being pulled tightly, and his face, forced to look up, was filled with anger, shame, and resentment.
"Tsk~, even at this point, you're still being stubborn. Don't worry, I admire people with backbone the most. I'll satisfy you in a moment and castrate you to sell you to Thailand. Let's see if you still dare to spout nonsense!" Liang Rong said viciously. He had kindly persuaded these people to hand over the Supernatural Items, but these bastards actually dared to resist him. They really don't know what's good for them!
Liang Rong has never been stingy with her methods when it comes to fools who overestimate their abilities; she is determined to make them taste her iron fist, iron fist, and iron heart!
Snap--
The black monster suddenly exerted its strength, flipped the Gu Dao over, and stepped between its legs. The Gu Dao felt an unbearable pain rush to his head and couldn't help but let out a scream.
"Heh, you feel the pain now, don't you? I haven't killed you yet. Your manhood can still be saved. If you know what's good for you, hand over what you got in the Endless Corridor right now, or don't blame me for being impolite!" Liang Rong's gaze swept over Gu Dao's face. "You're good-looking and have a good physique; you'll definitely be popular."
The Beidou Organization has clear rules that employees cannot kill each other. However, there are large loopholes in this rule. As long as you don't "kill" someone with your own hands, it doesn't count as breaking the rules. Using other methods to murder or indirectly killing someone will not trigger Big Dipper's punishment mechanism.
In other words, as long as a person is still alive, an employee has many ways to torment another employee.
Liang Rong was once an employee of Big Dipper, but his experience was quite legendary. Now he has more identities and seems to no longer be afraid of Big Dipper.
"Liang Rong, do you think we're fools? We went through so much trouble to bring that thing back from the Endless Corridor, how could we possibly give it to you for nothing? Besides, given your character, if we gave it to you, would you let us go?" These words came from Gu Dao's companion, a woman with half her face covered in strangely shaped scars, who was also being held to the ground by the black monster.
"Qiu Shuang, you little bitch, don't bark like that. I'll turn you into Wangliang in a moment, and you'll taste what it means to wish you were dead!" Liang Rong sneered. As soon as she finished speaking, the three men from the Gu Dao Sect changed their expressions drastically.
"Liang Rong, how could you be so heartless? We were once comrades, why did you have to be so ruthless!" The third person lying on the ground, a middle-aged man with slightly graying hair, had a trembling voice. When he heard Liang Rong say the word "Wangliang," he immediately recalled a Supernatural event he had experienced.
That was a mission that Liang Rong, Qiu Shuang, Gu Dao, and the middle-aged man participated in together. The source was the Wangliang Box, which could drag living people into the box and transform them into monsters called Wangliang. This process was extremely painful!
This incident was named "[Wangliang]", and it was during this incident that Liang Rong unexpectedly obtained the Wangliang Box.
The four of them originally had a pretty good relationship, but later Liang Rong started associating with some people, and they gradually went their separate ways.
Having witnessed firsthand the horrific transformation of living beings into Wangliang, the three members of the Gu Dao naturally understood the extreme pain involved.
Furthermore, since Liang Rong controlled the Wangliang to harm people, rather than personally carrying out the attack, the Beidou Organization's rules probably wouldn't classify it as infighting among employees. In fact, this loophole in the rules seems more like a deliberate design left by the organization.
"Heh! We're just temporary partners, what kind of friendship is this? I gave you all a chance, but you didn't cherish it." Liang Rong took out a small black box, about the size of a palm.
"Gulp!"
The box was opened, and a strong, pungent odor immediately wafted out.
"Come out!" Liang Rong commanded, and a lump of pitch-black flesh wriggled out of the box. The lump of flesh had tangled eyes, a nose, and a mouth. It quickly transformed into a human face, but it was hideous and covered with drooping wrinkles.
The chunk of flesh gradually swelled, wriggling and twisting into a tall, thin, skeletal black monster that resembled a human. This was the Wangliang, a special kind of Ghost Slave, the very thing that had pinned the three Gu Dao to the ground.
"My Wangliang is incredibly powerful; I'll show you what it's like." Liang Rong grinned wickedly, his gaze shifting to the two who had intruded. "Go on, kill those two over there first!"
He was naturally referring to Xiao Yu and Yin Wenxian. He didn't take these two ants seriously at all. Since they had barged in on their own initiative, he might as well deal with them.
Upon receiving the order, the Wangliang immediately took action, attacking Xiao Yu and Yin Wenxian.
Liang Rong was confident of victory and felt she could easily defeat everyone present.
