Atobe Sousuke's expression changed.

......

Chapter 266 A Fish That Escaped the Net

[It feels so...so bad...Am I going to die?]

!!!

Sosuke was carefully analyzing Hisanobu's chaotic thoughts when he suddenly saw his last sentence.

His expression changed, and he immediately asked Akai Subaru beside him urgently, "Hebi-ga Hisanoshin doesn't seem to be in a good state. Can the Truth Potion be fatal?"

"What!?" Subaru Akai immediately pressed his face against the window to examine Hisanosuke Jabi, then turned around and shouted, his expression changing drastically, "Medical team! Medical team! Hisanosuke Jabi is in critical condition, start treatment immediately!!!"

Everyone became agitated.

Immediately, someone rushed into the interrogation room to try to save him.

However, Hisanobu Herakuya had already started twitching while Subaru Akai was observing him.

By the time the medical personnel entered the room, the top-level expert had already gone limp and shown no signs of life.

he died!

Subaru Akai slammed his fist on the glass in front of him and turned around angrily: "Find the person who gave the injection right now!"

Before anyone else could react, Shin Kyogoku had already transformed into a blur and rushed out of the room, heading straight for the department that managed the truth serum.

......

Ten minutes later, everyone reunited.

Shin Kyogoku and Subaru Akai stood before the chief with grim expressions. Subaru Akai, head bowed and holding his breath, said, "Chief, Hisanobu Hebigagi died after being injected with Truth Poison. The medical team analyzed his blood and found a small amount of highly toxic components."

Shin Kyogoku continued, "The logistics department in charge of medicines is missing two people, and we have immediately arranged for people to hunt them down."

Kim Bradley remained calm, displaying the demeanor of a great general: "The Truth Poison was injected into Snake Fang Hishin and he died within five minutes. The traitors shouldn't have gone far. Do everything you can to capture them."

"As for Serpent Fang Hisanoshin..." He nodded helplessly, "I didn't really expect to get any information out of him anyway. It's a pity that he's dead, which means we'll lose a bargaining chip when we face the Serpent of the World."

Sosuke stood aside, remaining silent as an outsider, though in his heart he had already cursed the chief's words eight hundred times.

Clearly, the director himself is a big shot in the World Serpent, so arranging for the death of a top-tier prisoner who has no ability to resist is extremely easy for him.

As for those two traitors responsible for the injection and the preparation of the truth serum...

It's easy to guess—either they've already been assigned a place, or they've died along with everyone else.

Thinking of this, he felt that he should not stay in this damned Bureau of Abnormal Countermeasures for long, and that he should never reveal the information he had received to anyone in this department.

So he stepped forward, putting on a helpless expression: "Director Bradley, it's clear that there's nothing I can do to help now. I'm afraid that the remnants of the Ring Serpent might attack my hometown, so I plan to return to the dojo. I'm taking my leave of you."

When Kim Bradley saw Sousuke suddenly speak, he stared at him quietly for two seconds, then nodded slightly: "Alright, I was originally thinking of talking to Mr. Atobe about the follow-up cooperation, but there are too many unexpected situations now, so let's talk about it another day?"

He turned to Akai Subaru: "Subaru, then I'll trouble you to see Mr. Atobe off."

“No problem.” Subaru Akai responded immediately, then turned to Sousuke Atobe, “Let’s go, it’s time to take you back to rest.”

The two left.

Kim Bradley watched Atobe Sousuke's departing figure thoughtfully.

He subconsciously felt that the boy's behavior seemed a bit strange.

......

On the way, Subaru Akai was driving, and surprisingly, he was somewhat silent.

Sousuke sat in the passenger seat, carefully examining Akai's dashboard for a long time to confirm that he was indeed clean and without any problems. Then, he carefully chose his tone and asked, "Akai, didn't you say that the Countermeasures Bureau had already undergone a major purge? How could something like this still happen?"

Subaru Akai frowned: "I've been thinking about this the whole way here. Logically speaking, a special organization like our Countermeasures Bureau, once it really launches an investigation and purge, it's hard for anyone to escape. But..."

Poor guy, because your boss is the biggest fish.

He even wove the net.

That doesn't mean you can just let any fish slip through your fingers!

Sosuke smiled silently.

However, he couldn't say these things to Subaru Akai. Even if this guy and Shin Kyogoku were good people, Sousuke couldn't risk his own safety by telling them things like, "Your chief is the biggest villain boss, so hurry up and find a way to take him down."

He was absolutely certain that if he said something like that, he didn't know whether the bureau chief would fall from power.

However, Atobe Sousuke was definitely the first to die.

Therefore, Sousuke could only subtly remind Akai Subaru: "I'm an outsider, so I can't say much. But your Countermeasures Bureau has such a treacherous traitor hidden so well. You and Kyogoku, as frontline personnel, should be careful when you go on missions in the future, especially those high-risk and difficult missions. Don't let your own people trap you."

Subaru Akai glanced at him, his face full of suspicion: "I have a feeling... you're hinting at something, can't you just say it directly?"

"No." Sosuke shook his head. "Anyway, as comrades who have fought side by side, when you and Kyogoku are going on any dangerous missions in the future, remember to come to me first to get your equipment. Don't just blindly rush in."

"OK, OK, I understand!" Akai Subaru nodded irritably, but couldn't help asking again, "You really can't tell me what you know?"

"Yes, I can." Sousuke stroked his chin.

"Then tell me quickly!"

"I'll tell you the day you leave the Countermeasures Bureau."

"Are you kidding me?" Subaru Akai's eyes widened.

Sosuke shook his head: "Anyway, I don't want to get involved in your Countermeasures Bureau's mess anymore. If you consider me a friend, please don't tell anyone about our casual conversation just now, OK?"

"Alright, I won't tell anyone." Akai Subaru gave Sousuke a deep look.

He is a very thoughtful person.

He still remembered the time when Atobe Sousuke single-handedly dismantled the Red Serpent Group and rescued Yae Baixuan.

He heard from the communicator that Atobe Sousuke had managed to find out the exact location of the silent Red Serpent Group leader's secret room in just a few words.

Therefore, Subaru Akai was certain that Sousuke Atobe must have some kind of method that allowed him to see through other people's thoughts from their micro-expressions or eye movements.

Now, this guy who can "read people's minds" to some extent is seriously reminding him to be careful in future missions of the Countermeasures Bureau.

They even said they would "withdraw from the countermeasures bureau" and then have a deep conversation with themselves.

Isn't that blatantly telling Subaru Akai that he already knows there are still suspicious people in the Countermeasures Bureau?

......

Half an hour later, Sosuke, who had gotten out of the car, leaned against the door and raised an eyebrow at Subaru Akai: "Remember, don't tell anyone in the department about the chatter we had in the car earlier."

Subaru Akai nodded helplessly: "You've reminded me three times already along the way, don't you trust me that much?"

Sousuke was also a little helpless: "I trust you, but I also value my own life!"

Then, Sousuke emphasized again: "Akai, I know you're probably thinking about going back and investigating on your own right now, but listen to me, you and Kyogoku should keep a low profile for a while, otherwise the effect might be counterproductive."

This kid! He can definitely read minds!

Akai stared wide-eyed at Sousuke's 'meaningful' smile, thought for a moment, and nodded in agreement.

The two said goodbye to each other.

Sosuke watched Akai Subaru's sports car drive away, then turned around.

He was struck on the head directly by the oncoming scabbard!

"Snapped!"

Sosuke groaned in pain, clutched his head, and glared at the beautiful master before him.

"Hey, what are you doing!"

Unexpectedly, Yae Meixuan slashed at him again: "You dare ask me again!"

Sosuke simply caught the blade barehanded, but Yae Baixuan skillfully changed her move, turning the blade and pressing the hilt against Sosuke's stomach.

"hiss!"

Sosuke gasped, "Old woman, are you trying to murder your husband?"

"Tell me quickly, what did you do tonight!" Yae Meixuan gritted her teeth, reached out and grabbed Sosuke's collar, pulling him in front of her.

He looked fierce and menacing, but the worry in his eyes wouldn't go away.

Sousuke felt a warmth in his heart and immediately put his arm around the waist of his beautiful master: "Let's go back to the room, and I'll tell you everything."

"You'd better not lie to me..." The beautiful master turned his head away unhappily, but obediently followed Atobe Sousuke back to his room.

Before they could even exchange a few words, the beautiful master was carried to bed by Atobe Sousuke.

Faced with the shameless dojo master, she was both angry and ashamed, so she had no choice but to obediently feed him soft European bread and drink eight-salt wine, while singing "Fireball Boys" and exercising.

Only after finding comfort both physically and mentally did Sousuke tell her about what happened that night.

Then, she was shocked by the news that Atobe Sousuke brought her.

"You're saying the head of the Countermeasures Bureau is a high-ranking member of the Ring World Serpent!?" Yae Meixuan asked Sosuke in disbelief, so shocked that she couldn't even continue her training.

Sousuke, who was practicing with great enthusiasm, angrily pressed down on her waist.

Her already stunned expression almost completely crumbled, and she nearly drooled.

The steel pipe almost broke the vise.

Sousuke sighed crisply, "Yeah, it's terrifying, isn't it? But right now, you're the only one who knows about this besides me. If you don't want us to become a pair of doomed lovers, don't tell anyone else."

He thought about it for a long time on the way, and finally decided to tell Yae Meixuan about it. After all, apart from his female disciples, this beautiful master was his closest companion.

Moreover, she is strong enough in combat and has made many friends from all walks of life over the years. If she knew the truth, she could at least provide a lot of help to Sousuke.

Yae Meixuan was stunned for a long time before she came back to her senses. She looked at Sousuke with a complicated expression and slowly resumed her training. She did not ask Sousuke how he knew this shocking news, but said seriously, "If that's the case, then we are now without any reliable allies. We can only rely on ourselves from now on."

Then, she wrapped her arms around Sosuke's neck and looked him in the eye with a serious expression: "Things are getting more and more complicated and bigger. If you choose to back out, I... I won't blame you."

Looking at the beautiful woman's serious expression, Atobe Sousuke chuckled and patted her large cushion: "Do you think I'm like you? I've already accepted the payment, so I can't go back on my word. Besides, this isn't your problem anymore."

He smiled calmly: "Now, I have ruined so many of the Serpent's plans, I'm afraid I'm already their number one enemy in Japan."

Yae Meixuan gave him a deep look: "Don't worry, I'll stick with you to the end..."

"Hehe, let's see if we can get to the bottom of it first!"

"Ouch! It's at the bottom! Stop pressing it!!!"

......

Late at night, Yae Meixuan, feeling weak all over, secretly ran back to her room.

Sosuke lay on the bed, rubbing his aching back, just about to go to sleep.

Then, the door opened, and a tall, aloof figure quietly slipped in.

Sosuke turned around quickly and was immediately startled.

"Motoko, what brings you here!?"

......

Chapter 267 Motoko Keeps Her Promise!

"Motoko, what brings you here!?"

Sosuke stared wide-eyed, completely bewildered, at the kendo girl who had walked to the bedside and was quietly looking at him.

He glanced at the time instinctively—it was three in the morning.

From his departure at 8 PM to fight the Madman, to killing Yokoi Atsushi, slaying the remnants of the Snake Bone Society, capturing Snake Fang Hisanobu to the Countermeasures Bureau, and finally to the dust settling on Snake Fang Hisanobu's death.
