Starting from the folklore forum, making up town objects

Chapter 442 The First Meeting Between the Underworld and the Six Clans of Great Xia

In the isolation room of the interrogation room at the Bureau of Public Opinion Research headquarters, Chu Xiu's forehead was covered in sweat.

The hearing had been going on for almost half an hour, but Yu Shanze on the other side of the glass hadn't said a word.

The General Administration naturally has special means to deal with Yu Shanze, and it would be best if they could find out the truth.

If special methods fail to uncover any information, the Bureau of Investigation will have no other options.

No matter how much persuasion or reasoning was used, or even threats and intimidation were employed, Yu Shanze insisted on one thing: he was only seeking revenge, and had no ulterior motives!

Even threatening Yu Shanze's relatives did not change this statement.

Chu Xiu even thought that Yu Shanze's family information was fake, so he didn't care.

However, after he sent people to interrogate Yu Shanze's relatives using special methods, he discovered that all of Yu Shanze's growth trajectory could be traced.

So either Yu Shanze is inherently cold-hearted, or he has been brainwashed.

Of course, if it's a non-governmental organization, saying that they altered the memory might be more accurate.

This is also why Chu Xiu dared not directly interrogate Yu Shanze. If he really tampered with his memories, the Bureau of Investigation might not be able to find much useful information from Yu Shanze's memories, since memories are almost irreversible.

Previously, the Bureau of Investigation had a device called "Memory Ghost" that was very powerful in this area, but Zong Peng, the previous carrier of "Memory Ghost," had some problems. Now, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that "Memory Ghost" is Zong Peng himself.

If the understanding of 'remembering ghosts' is truly broken, then Zong Peng will truly be gone.

Of course, what was more important for Chu Xiu at this moment was whether he could stall until Feng Jin returned.

Once Feng Jin returns, he won't have to decide what happens next.

What you fear most is what will happen.

The crow, which had been silent for half an hour, finally spoke.

"If you can't do it, I can do it for you."

The Raven Prophet looked at Chu Xiu and said.

"Well, Prophet Crow may not know this, but the methods of those organizations in the folk are unpredictable. If we use special methods, we may end up with nothing."

Chu Xiu was making up lies, but what the Prophet Raven said next made them turn pale.

"It doesn't matter, so what if he's dead? We can just grab another one from your Bureau of Investigation. Anyway, there are plenty of traitors in your Bureau of Investigation. If one isn't enough, we'll just get another one."

"Of course, the underworld naturally trusts the Bureau of Investigation, after all, we are partners."

"So, if this person dies, the underworld is willing to help the Bureau of Investigation screen out all the rebels within the Bureau. This would be more beneficial for our future cooperation, wouldn't you agree?"

Chu Xiu's face turned from black to white.

It sounds nice to say that we're helping the Bureau of Investigation screen out traitors, but if we do that, won't all the Bureau of Investigation agents have no secrets left in front of the underworld?

But could the Bureau of Polls refuse?
No.

If you don't agree, it means you have something to hide.

Even if the Bureau of Pollution manages to persuade all its agents, if it still fails to find a defector within the Bureau, does that mean that everything before was done by the Bureau itself?

So Chu Xiu really didn't know how to answer that question.

Looking at the Crow Prophet, Chu Xiu gritted his teeth and ordered, "Bring Old Li over here and get to work!"

Less than a minute later, an old man with a long-handled pipe in his mouth entered the interrogation room.

Sitting in the interrogation seat, the old man didn't say a word. He simply placed his pipe on the table and began stuffing tobacco into the pipe bowl from the small bag hanging on it.

Once the pipe was full of tobacco, the old man put the bowl in his mouth, took out a match, and lit it.

Throughout this process, Yu Shanze kept his eyes on the old man.

Seeing this, Chu Xiu couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

Whether it works or not depends on Lao Li.

Just then, Old Li started puffing on his cigarette.

As he smoked, he grinned, revealing his teeth covered in nicotine stains.

"Kid, if you don't talk, I'm going to torture you."

Snapped!
Old Li pulled a cloth bag from his back and spread it out on the table.

Wow!
Dozens of small instruments of torture were displayed, and none of them were very clean.

It might be rust, black bloodstains, or barbs.

Looking at those instruments of torture, Yu Shanze's eyes twitched.

"Is it right for you to torture a BIA agent without any evidence?"

"Hehe, this is a very important matter. Which do you think is more important, your life or the relationship between the Bureau of Investigation and the Underworld?"

Old Li exhaled smoke and looked at Yu Shanze with a smile.

Yu Shanze sneered.

"Since that's the case, what else is there to say?"

"If I'm not valuable enough, I can only be a sacrifice. If other things happen in the future, you, and everyone else in the Bureau of Polling, can also be sacrificed. This kind of Bureau of Polling, haha..."

Yu Shanze looked at the glass next to him, which was already covered with a layer of smoke, with a cold smile.

Just as he was about to continue speaking, he was suddenly startled.

This cigarette isn't right!
As soon as the thought arose, Yu Shanze's eyes became blank.

Seeing this, Chu Xiu thought to himself, "They're here!"
Old Li wasn't some kind of executioner; his real skill was his pipe.

Once inhaled, the smoke gradually paralyzes the target, eventually putting them in a special state.

In this state, the target is like someone who has been given a "truth serum," answering any question asked.

"Yu Shanze, who instructed you to attack Bai Yongnian's chicken farm?"

When Lao Li saw that Yu Shanze had been infected, he began to follow the procedures.

"I only attacked Bai Yongnian's chicken farm because I had a grudge against him. He didn't give me any face and actually sold my father-in-law's chicken combs at a higher price! This made me lose face in front of my wife. Killing his chickens was just to get revenge on him."

Seeing this, Old Li didn't ask any more questions and continued smoking.

After the smoke concentration in the room increased again, he asked the same question again.

But Yu Shanze's answer was still the same!

Another ten minutes or so passed, and the interrogation room was so thick with smoke that you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.

Old Li's voice rang out from the smoke, but Yu Shanze's answer remained unchanged.

After three inquiries, everyone heard a "sizzle" as all the smoke in the room was sucked into Old Li's pipe.

Old Li put down his pipe, nodded toward the glass, and left with his hands behind his back.

Chu Xiu's expression was rather unpleasant.

Old Li used his methods, and Yu Shanze also gave an answer, but Chu Xiu didn't believe it, nor could he believe it!

"Someone, call him..."

Chu Xiu was about to call for more people, but the Crow Prophet couldn't wait any longer.

In a flash, everyone saw the Raven Prophet appear on the table in the interrogation room, having passed through the glass.

"Yu Shanze? I am a messenger from the underworld. Is what you did really what you intended?"

The Crow Prophet paced back and forth, turning his head to look at Yu Shanze with one of his red crow eyes.

Yu Shanze, who had just regained consciousness, was still feeling smug when his body suddenly tensed up.

He had heard of the Underworld from the Bureau of Investigation long ago. Putting aside everything else, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the Divine Messenger Organization owes its current success to the Underworld.

He wasn't afraid of the Bureau of Investigation, but he was somewhat afraid of the Underworld. He knew the Bureau of Investigation's methods, but he had no idea what methods the Underworld had.

The unknown is the scariest thing.

"Yes!"

Yu Shanze calmed down and said.

"In that case, let me see."

As he spoke, a red light flashed in the Crow Prophet's eyes, and Yu Shanze's eyes once again fell into a state of confusion. ...

When Yu Shanze regained consciousness, he found himself having left the interrogation room of the Bureau of Investigation and returned home.

"Am I back?"

Yu Shanze's eyes flickered.

No, this is an illusion, a ghost wall!

Yu Shanze guessed to himself, while also breathing a sigh of relief.

As one of the deepest infiltrators in the Divine Envoy organization, Yu Shanze's body had naturally been tampered with by the Divine Envoys.

No matter what illusion he falls into, he can maintain his own consciousness and not be deceived.

Although Yu Shanze couldn't break the illusion or the ghost wall, he could at least keep his secret from being lured out, which was enough for the undercover agents of the Divine Envoy.

"Ha, so this is all the underworld can do. I thought it would be any different."

Yu Shanze felt contempt and no longer had the fear he had previously felt towards the underworld.

He got up and started walking around the room.

Try to follow your usual behavioral logic as much as possible.

Although he had broken free from the maze, he still needed to make sure he was out of it. Otherwise, it was very likely that people would find out that he had broken free, and then it would be difficult to resort to other methods.

"I want to see what the underworld wants to do in my 'home'."

Yu Shanze glanced at the time; it was six in the morning.

After washing up, it was 6:30.

This is his daily workday.

After changing his clothes, Yu Shanze went to the doorway to look in the full-length mirror and straighten his clothes.

"If the methods aren't at home, then they're outside."

Yu Shanze was guessing what was going on in his mind and was about to open the door when he suddenly felt something was wrong.

He turned his head and looked at the full-length mirror.

"Did I just see it wrong?"

The moment the thought crossed Yu Shanze's mind, his eyes widened.

Even though he didn't say anything, his reflection in the mirror opened his mouth.

There's something wrong with this mirror!

The moment the thought crossed his mind, his mouth started moving again in the mirror.

"What's going on? They want me to kill ghosts in this illusion, then reveal my true strength so they can guess which organization I belong to?"

"Heh, naive. Before I went undercover, everything was normal for me. Apart from the organization doing some things for me during the missions, all my strength came from my own hard work!"

"Even the evil spirits within me were obtained from the Bureau of Investigation; they have absolutely nothing to do with the organization!"

Yu Shanze looked at himself in the mirror, a cold smile on his face, still opening his mouth to say something, and felt even more disdain.

Immediately, he shouted loudly, pretending to deal with the ghost in the mirror, and summoned the ghost inside his body.

With one strike, the mirror shattered.

Immediately afterwards, Yu Shanze noticed that his surroundings had changed. He had gone from standing to being bound to a seat.

Yu Shanze smiled inwardly, then pretended to look around blankly.

"what happened……"

Before he could finish speaking, he saw the mirror that had appeared in front of him.

The reflection in the mirror is still sneering.

"A double illusion?"

"A double illusion?"

A voice came from the mirror, and Yu Shanze was startled.

"Who?"

"Who?"

Another voice came out.

Yu Shanze's gaze was fixed on himself in the mirror.

"Was it me speaking?"

"Was it me speaking?"

Yu Shanze's face turned pale. His inner thoughts had been repeatedly spoken by his reflection in the mirror. Even if he was slow to react, he knew what had happened.

He immediately tried to suppress his thoughts and refused to think about anything anymore.

But he wasn't a saint, and he had never done similar training before. Even with his strong will, he couldn't completely suppress his thoughts.

"How is this possible? What is this thing?!"

"How is this possible? What is this thing?!"

"No, I can't think about it anymore. I need to calm down, I need to calm down!"

"No, I can't think about it anymore. I need to calm down, I need to calm down!"

Yu Shanze kept trying to adjust his state of mind, but the image of himself in the mirror repeatedly expressing his innermost thoughts, and the panic on his face, shattered his composure time and time again.

Meanwhile, Chu Xiu and the others standing behind the glass all had rather strange expressions on their faces.

After the Raven Prophet entered, they discovered that Yu Shanze had been bewitched by the Raven Prophet.

This is a situation they can understand, similar to Lao Li's capabilities.

But then, when the Raven Prophet brought out the mirror and placed it in front of Yu Shanze, everything took a turn in a direction they had never seen before.

Even though Yu Shanze didn't say anything, the Yu Shanze in the mirror kept talking. Not only did he talk, but his expressions and movements in the mirror were also vividly reproduced.

At first, Chu Xiu and the others didn't understand what was going on until Yu Shanze woke up and the words that appeared in the mirror made them understand.

It turns out that the 'Yu Shanze' in the mirror is the 'Yu Shanze' in his inner world!
While marveling at their performance, Chu Xiu and the others also breathed a sigh of relief.

At least, Yu Shanze confessed!

Chu Xiu sat down in the chair and lit a cigarette.

A cigarette afterwards really felt good.

Just then, Chu Xiu received news that Director Feng Jin had returned.

"I'm back. I'm glad I'm back."

Chu Xiu smiled and said to Ya Xianzhi, "Ya Xingxing, the matter has been resolved. Yu Shanze is indeed a member of the Divine Envoy Organization. Next, our Bureau of Investigation will definitely intensify its crackdown on the Divine Envoy Organization and make the Divine Envoys pay the price!"

After speaking righteously and sternly, Chu Xiu continued, "Ya Xingxing, our director has just returned. Let's go see him together. If the underworld has any requests, we can discuss them with the director."

The Raven Prophet, having heard Chu Xiu's words, did not leave but continued to ask Yu Shanze, "Where is your divine messenger's Grand Guide? How can we contact him? What does he look like?"

After asking the question, the Prophet Crow didn't care whether Yu Shanze would answer or not, and looked directly at the Mirror of Inquiry.

Several places flashed in the mirror, revealing the faces of several people.

After noting it down, the Raven Prophet put away the Mirror of Inquiry and teleported onto Chu Xiu's shoulder.

This time, Chu Xiu's reaction wasn't as strong as before.

After all, they are allies.

Soon, Chu Xiu led the Crow Prophet to a conference room.

As soon as he entered, the Raven Prophet's gaze fell on a certain spot in the conference room.

There, Xia Xianfeng was also watching the Crow Prophet.
