I painted an aircraft carrier on the courtyard house for Dongda University.

"Screw you! I'm about to fight the Kuomintang secret agents to the death!" Zhou Weiguo cursed inwardly. "Let me ask you something: Can the space store living people? What's their state when they're stored inside?"

"You can collect any living creature you touch," the system replied casually. "Living creatures enter the space and remain still, forgetting everything that happened inside. Friendly reminder: After the space is upgraded, it can actively collect living creatures and adjust the flow of time. Keep up the good work, host."

"Go for it! Upgrade me already!" When Zhou Weiguo asked again, the system was silent.

He gritted his teeth in anger—this damn system failed him at the crucial moment, he had to rely on himself!

Just as they finished complaining, the two henchmen threw Tian Zao onto the bed, then turned and left with grins on their faces.

The bald man rubbed his hands together and grinned lewdly, his eyes greedily fixed on Tian Zao on the bed, as he moved closer step by step.

Tian Zao was so frightened that she closed her eyes tightly and her body trembled uncontrollably.

Without further hesitation, Zhou Weiguo suddenly darted out from behind the door, grabbed the bald man's belt, and, taking advantage of the man's momentary daze, used his mind to pull him into his spatial storage.

Tian Zao waited on the bed for a long time without any movement before she opened her eyes with trembling hands—but there was nothing in front of her. The fierce-looking bald man had vanished without a trace! She looked around in astonishment, momentarily forgetting her fear.

Zhou Weiguo was pondering whether to take Tian Zao into his spatial storage for temporary refuge when a playful voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Brother Dao, the water's here! You're pretty fast, finishing in the first wave? Impressive indeed!"

Zhou Weiguo almost burst out laughing—it only took a few dozen seconds, and this was called "powerful"? He was just about to hide behind the door when there was a knock. Helpless, he quietly opened the door a crack and saw two henchmen standing in the doorway with basins of water, peeking into the bed.

"Hey? Where's Brother Dao?" The two were stunned when they saw Tian Zao sitting on the bed with his clothes intact, and they subconsciously looked around.

Zhou Weiguo seized the opportunity, suddenly opened the door and rushed out, grabbing the wrists of the two men with one hand each, and before they could struggle, he took them into his spatial storage.

Unexpectedly, one of them lost his grip on the basin of water, and it crashed to the ground with a loud bang, the crisp sound particularly jarring in the quiet night.

"What's going on?" A questioning voice immediately came from afar, accompanied by hurried footsteps.

Zhou Weiguo had a bad feeling and quickly closed the door and stuck it to the back.

Soon, a group of figures rushed over, brandishing pistols. The leader was none other than Liu Zi, who had been following him during the day.

The crowd gathered outside the door, calling out, "Brother Dao! Brother Dao, are you alright?"

Zhou Weiguo's eyes narrowed – a direct confrontation would easily expose him, so it was better to strike first! He suddenly flung open the door and rushed forward while everyone was still stunned. He quickly slapped each person's shoulder and, in the blink of an eye, pulled four or five people into his spatial dimension.

The last remaining six men had just reacted and were about to raise their guns when Zhou Weiguo had already touched their shoulders. With a "whoosh," the six men disappeared from the spot.

After confirming that no one was in the courtyard for the time being, Zhou Weiguo breathed a sigh of relief and then began to search the courtyard carefully.

They searched the place three times but couldn't find the basement they mentioned. They only found four agents sleeping like logs in the back room, along with food, meat, and vegetables piled up in various rooms.

Without any hesitation, he put the supplies, along with the four spies, into his spatial storage.

At this moment, he remembered the skinny guy who had relayed the message to the bald man, so he simply went into the space, tied him up tightly, gagged him, and then let him out.

The skinny guy screamed in terror as soon as he hit the ground. Zhou Weiguo deliberately concealed himself and said in a sinister voice, "I died a terrible death... It's all your fault... Give me back my life!"

The skinny guy was terrified. He knelt on the ground, looking around frantically, but couldn't see anyone for a long time. His crotch was wet.

Zhou Weiguo frowned in disgust and slapped him.

"Ooh!" The skinny guy was woken up by the beating, staring wide-eyed and shaking his head desperately.

Zhou Weiguo lowered his voice and threatened, "You answer whatever I ask. If you dare hesitate or shout out loud, I'll tear you apart and eat you raw!"

The skinny man trembled like a leaf, nodding repeatedly.

Zhou Weiguo then pulled the sock out of his mouth and asked coldly, "Where's the basement?"

"Under the artificial hill..." the skinny man stammered.

How many of you are there in total?

"15... Dear ghost, please don't eat me..."

Zhou Weiguo's eyes darkened, and he continued to press, "Where are you planning to attack?"

The skinny man, with a mournful face, replied, "I...I received orders to bomb the steel mill, the Fifth Research Institute...and the residence of the man surnamed Lin!"

"Where are the explosives hidden by the research institute and Mr. Lin's family?" Zhou Weiguo's voice was as cold as ice as his fingertips gently stroked the back of his thin neck.

The skinny man's eyes darted around, looking left and right for a long time. His lips moved but he didn't make a sound—he was clearly still hesitating about whether to tell the truth.

Without further ado, Zhou Weiguo pulled out a dagger from his spatial storage, and with a flash of cold light, chopped off the other man's little toe with a "splat".

The skinny guy convulsed in pain, about to scream, but Zhou Weiguo swiftly shoved the dirty sock back into his mouth, leaving only muffled groans of pain. Large tears rolled down his cheeks, his eyes filled with desperate fear.

"Human flesh actually tastes pretty good."

Zhou Weiguo deliberately made a "smack smack" sound, threatening in a sinister tone, "If you dare to hide it again, I'll chop off your fingers next time. Just shout and I'll cut off an extra piece."

The skinny guy trembled like a leaf, nodding frantically.

Zhou Weiguo then pulled the sock out of his mouth and pressed him again, "Where was the explosive hidden? And where did you get the poison gas?"

"Ghost, ghost sir, I'll tell you! I'll tell you everything!"

The skinny man, his face contorted with grief, spoke in a trembling voice, "The research institute's explosives are in the basement, and Mr. Lin's are hidden in the storage room next to his house... The poison gas bombs were buried in the mountains when the Japanese surrendered; we dug them all up recently, along with a lot of guns and ammunition!"

Zhou Weiguo silently considered the situation. Including this guy, there were a total of 11 enemy agents in his spatial storage. He then asked, "Where did the remaining four go?"

"They were guarding the explosives at Mr. Lin's house and the research institute..." The skinny man dared not hide anything.

"Who is your superior? Are there any other accomplices?"

"Only Brother Dao can contact me online. I'm just a gofer, I don't know anything!" Skinny guy shook his head like a rattle drum.

Zhou Weiguo stared into his eyes, sensing he wasn't telling the truth. He slashed his arm with a dagger, blood instantly seeping out: "Don't try anything funny with me. If you don't tell the truth, I'll break your arm right now!"

"I'll talk! I'll talk!" The skinny guy screamed in pain, completely breaking down. "I heard from Brother Dao that there aren't just two other groups this time, and one of them is supposedly planning an attack during the goose expert's visit! I really don't know anything else, Grandpa Ghost, please don't kill me!"

P.S.: Please urge me to update more and give me good reviews. Thank you!
