Yelai squinted, a mysterious and wicked smile playing on his lips. Zhong Zhi, caught in the confusion of the unknown, felt a sense of urgency, not daring to delay even for a moment.
"I don't know what you're pointing at either," he admitted. "I've only heard others say that the Li Family's Ruler is not human. Some speculate it’s an Anomalous Entity, while others think it might be the Enigma. There are many versions of this story."
However, none of these claims had been substantiated; they were merely rumors swirling around.
Yelai glanced at Zhong Zhi and pondered for a moment before asking when the rumors had started circulating.
"It’s been a long time," Zhong Zhi replied. "Ever since the Li Family established themselves in the Numbered Protection Zone, there have been whispers. At first, I dismissed them as mere slander because the Li Family wasn’t one of the founders of the Numbered Protection Zone. They were originally just a small faction within it."
"But then they suddenly rose to power in a short time, becoming one of the top forces in the Numbered Protection Zone and gaining a foothold in the Association. The rumors spread during their rise, so I suspect it was instigated by the other three major families and some members of the Association to suppress them."
"The Numbered Protection Zone isn’t managed like the Safe Zone by Sequencers and Defense Teams. It’s governed by the Four Great Families and various factions forming the Sequence Bearers Association. Not just in the Numbered Protection Zone, but other strong Safe Zones are also managed in this associative manner, devoid of any national concept. Nations have become history."
"Are there any other rumors about the Li Family or the Numbered Protection Zone?" Yelai asked.
As Zhong Zhi racked his brain for memories, Yelai gathered quite a few tidbits about the Numbered Protection Zone. Unfortunately, none of these rumors held any substance.
Yelai was not one to mince words. As Zhong Zhi finished answering his last question, Yelai pressed harder against Zhong Zhi's forehead, clearly intending to use Sequence on him.
"What are you doing?! You said if I told you everything, you would let me go!" Zhong Zhi exclaimed.
"I only mentioned considering it; I never said it was certain."
Yelai spoke slowly.
I considered for a moment; Marx and Lenin once said that the dead keep secrets best, and I believed they were right.
As soon as the words left my mouth, without giving Zhong Zhi a chance to respond, the Sequence of Fear activated at that moment.
Zhong Zhi's eyes widened in rage.
He wanted to say something, but it was too late; all that escaped his lips was a pitiful scream.
Ah.
Once again, he fell into a nightmare of fear, and until the moment of death, he couldn't utter a sound, his mind consumed by terror.
Three minutes later.
Zhong Zhi was dead.
He couldn't withstand it; his expression before death was one of sheer horror, mouth agape, drooling, his state resembling that of someone who had been scared to death.
The cell door opened.
Yelai stepped out of the cell, adjusting his collar.
Interrogated?
Captain Wu approached and peered into the cell, his expression suddenly frozen.
Some interrogations had gone too far, accidentally leading to his death. Yelai wore an awkward expression of concealment.
Well, he’s dead now.
Captain Wu waved his hand dismissively.
If it comes to that, the Numbered Protection Zone will hold us accountable; no matter how much they pursue it, we are justified in our actions regarding what happened to the children in the Safe Zone; the Numbered Protection Zone can do nothing to us.
As he spoke, he picked up the phone to notify the other captains about this incident.
Yelai didn’t linger; he exchanged a few brief words with Captain Wu before heading back to Zhang Yinlin.
That night.
Knock knock knock.
The door to the room was knocked on.
"Come in, the door's open," Yelai said, turning around while packing his luggage, preparing to leave tomorrow.
Zhang Yinlin entered the room, holding a phone.
In the next moment, before Zhang Yinlin could finish her sentence, Yelai instinctively flew over to her as soon as he heard the name Zhenxue. Unable to control himself, he snatched the phone and shouted into it, "Zhenxue!"
"Yelai!"
