As the two entered the hotel, no one noticed them; it was as if they were invisible.
Xu Xiao's Divine Sense had already spotted the gang on the upper level of the hotel; they were a bunch of Koreans.
As if entering an empty place, Xu Xiao led Lucy by elevator all the way to the floor where Mr. Jang was supposedly located, and then went straight into the presidential suite where he was staying.
At that moment, the guy was dealing with a man in the bathroom, and the screams and the sound of blood spurting made Lucy tremble.
"Sir, why are we here?" Lucy asked Xu Xiao, mustering her courage.
Although she followed Xu Xiao after being subtly influenced by his words, she did not become a puppet.
"It's alright, this isn't your fault. I promise you'll be safe."
Xu Xiao smiled, then led Lucy to sit down on the sofa in the room and wait.
Just as Mr. Jang, the gangster in the bathroom, finished his work and came out, he saw Xu Xiao and his companion sitting on the sofa.
Who are you people?
Xu Xiao could understand the other party's Korean language; he could understand what everyone said in every world he had traveled to.
After shouting, Jiang Bangzi instinctively drew his pistol from his waist after finding no movement from his underlings outside the door.
Then, he gripped the gun and pointed it at Xu Xiao's right hand, twisting the gun into a pretzel shape.
The intense pain caused the gang leader to cry out in agony, and he was then pulled directly in front of Xu Xiao by an invisible Telekinesis.
"Nice to meet you, South Korean. I have something I'd like to ask you."
Xu Xiao snapped his the Snap, and the briefcase that had been flying beside him opened naturally, revealing four packets of blue-purple crystals inside.
After seeing CPH4 in the box, Jiang Bangzi's expression became visibly unnatural, and Xu Xiao's Divine Sense did not miss a thing.
"South Koreans, who did you order this for, or who developed it?"
Xu Xiao's voice carried a hint of mental manipulation.
If he could access other people's memories, he wouldn't even bother to speak.
The reason they found the man in front of them was naturally because he was the boss of this deal; the creator of CPH4 was either controlled by him or was his partner.
Four packages were far from enough to satisfy Xu Xiao's appetite; he had no intention of making a special trip to the Lucy World to transport goods again.
"It's... it's a drug lab in Taipei. This is our first time working with them, and this is a new product."
Jiang Bangzi slowly recounted everything he knew.
It turns out that CPH4 was accidentally synthesized by a drug dealer in Taipei. They later discovered that inhaling small amounts could cause euphoria and dependence in the brain, so they planned to sell it as a new product.
However, the local gangs didn't accept this unknown stuff, so they had to contact foreign gangs.
As for Jiang, the boss from South Korea, he was forced to bring his underlings to try this new product category because his business in China was being suppressed by other competitors.
If it were possible, he could use this opportunity to forge a new path.
This is why he was so nervous when he heard that Lucy had delivered the items at Richard's request.
This was his first time working with this drug dealer in Taipei, and he had no idea whether the other party was reliable or not.
After listening, Xu Xiao looked like he understood.
When it comes to researching and creating new things, the Huaxia are second to none.
Even in the Limitless World, if Eddie hadn't had the protagonist's halo, he might not have been the first to succeed.
Among the hundreds of experimental groups in USBM, 35% were of Huaxia descent with yellow skin, which is enough to demonstrate the excellence of the Huaxia race.
"Are you still able to contact that drug dealer? Or do you know their location?"
"I'm not sure, but I've checked, and they're most likely hiding in Taipei," Jiang Bangzi replied respectfully.
"I see." Xu Xiao rubbed his temples. He had acted too quickly. He should have known better than to kill Richard.
"Then go die yourself, jump off from here."
Xu Xiao casually pointed to the floor-to-ceiling windows in the room.
"Yes, sir."
Jiang Bangzi got up, walked to the window, opened it, and jumped out without hesitation.
Lucy, standing to the side, stared at Xu Xiao as if he were a demon, her eyes practically bulging out of their sockets.
"What's wrong? Are you scared?"
"Mmm!" Lucy nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
Xu Xiao did not control her; he merely used emotional reassurance to get her to come up with him. In essence, she possessed the ability to think independently.
Hearing the commotion outside, all the gangsters rushed in. Xu Xiao glanced at them, then spoke:
"Since you're already here, you might as well jump down together."
Like God with divine authority over their mouths, one after another, the Korean gangsters climbed onto the windowsill and jumped off.
Lucy was so frightened by this scene that her face turned pale, but Xu Xiao then comforted her:
"Don't be afraid. Since we don't know where you are for now, I'll ask you for something first."
As he spoke, Xu Xiao took out a small box, about the size of his palm, from the inside pocket of his pocket and opened it.
Inside are hollow bottles, and an automatic collector.
"Come on, Lucy, I'll draw some of your blood and spinal fluid and then I'll let you go."
Xu Xiao smiled, took out several empty bottles from the box, and quickly assembled the collection needle.
Before he arrived, he had already prepared to collect Lucy's body samples.
Like Spider-Man Peter Parker, the protagonists' corresponding adventures are definitely unique.
Lucy's body sample could definitely accelerate the research work on CPH4 for the Limitless scientific research team.
Looking at the sharp collection needle, Lucy was still afraid because Xu Xiao hadn't been able to control her.
But thinking of her boyfriend's tragic death and the group of people who had just committed suicide, she finally nodded and agreed to Xu Xiao's request.
Half an hour later, Xu Xiao led Lucy out of the hotel and then flew to the local police station.
It's the same old routine: when it comes to troublesome things like finding someone, it's much easier to do it yourself than to have a powerful force intervene.
With the help of Taipei's top officials, the Taipei launched a thorough search the following day, eventually finding the brilliant drug maker in an abandoned factory outside Taipei.
After a series of threats and inducements, Xu Xiao successfully obtained the synthesis formula for CPH4.
After that, high-ranking officials in Taipei were arranged to closely monitor the other party and Lucy's whereabouts, in case Xu Xiao couldn't find them the next time he came.
Xu Xiao's mind control is permanent as long as it is not broken, and he is not afraid that these people will disobey his will after he leaves.
