Volume One, Chapter 21: Interrogation Through Formation Techniques

As Lin Yun conversed with Leng Cang, a strange light flickered in Wu Zhiyuan’s eyes.
“Lin Yun, you actually know this old demon?” Wu Zhiyuan asked, surprise lacing his voice.
Lin Yun replied casually, “That old demon spent some time on the first floor before. Back then, I was in charge of delivering his meals.”
“I see!”
Wu Zhiyuan feigned sudden understanding and then continued forward with Lin Yun.

Soon, they encountered the fourth prisoner.
This criminal was emaciated, even thinner than the red-haired monster they had seen earlier—practically a living skeleton!
He was bound by specially forged chains, and atop his head were eight long black spikes...

Hearing her footsteps, he turned his head to look at her, his gaze settling on her reddened eyes.

“Old Director Ding is still generous!” Chen Jianghe laughed and applauded. “Everyone heard that tonight, Old Director Ding is hosting a banquet at the state-owned Grand Hotel for all employees. After work, bring your families along.”

It turned out the house arrest was merely a charade played out by the emperor and Xiao Zimo, designed to facilitate Xiao Zimo’s covert operations.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Jue’s face shifted through shades of blue, purple, and red. She struggled to find words but ultimately said nothing.
She didn’t want to know why Jing Ye was unwilling to help; she neither blamed nor resented him, nor did she wish to ask for reasons.

Still, this person indirectly allowed Gao Xin to experience the placebo effect and, through that, to grasp the heart of the hidden logic.
With that secret guard unit, understanding the Wei family’s training methods for covert operatives, the prince could train even more undercover guards.

As a mother, she sometimes felt overshadowed in front of her son; whenever he was displeased, she felt a bit intimidated.
It seemed she had recently been living atop a mountain of toxic waste—how the original owner chose this garbage mountain was beyond understanding.

In truth, snake bones were suitable for crafting retractable hidden weapons, ideal for surprise attacks or mechanisms.
“How can it be so weak when it’s supposed to be a mid-level ancient beast?” Ye Han muttered to himself.

“All right, have your first battalion march boldly out from beneath the city. Brothers, prepare defenses but keep them concealed. Do you dare?” Qu Yi asked solemnly.

“What brings you here so early?” Shangguan Ling sat down gracefully in her chair and eyed Lin Yifeng.
Even now, Shangguan Ling couldn’t believe Lin Yifeng would accept such a challenge. She and Jiang Jin both thought Lin Yifeng was courting death.

Unlike many other games, League of Legends didn’t demand overly precise hand skills.

“There’s no question—siege the city, leave not a single warrior corpsman alive, put everything on the line,” Chi Tu commanded, gesturing grandly. The warrior corpsmen, like a dark tide, surged toward the city gates.

But the near collapse from depleting his mana made Huang Xuanling vow never to conjure that precious pagoda again unless absolutely necessary.

“Of course,” Hang Yu considered, “maybe I should just pay for it all myself and hire NetDragon to develop a game. But developing a new game is risky. I can’t guarantee success, so sharing the risk is better.”

Who knew Long Sihai wasn’t generous? Fearing someone might discover his refining process, he outright refused to send protection.

I took two sips of water, screwed the cap back on, turned, and handed the bottle to Shuni, meeting her “bull-like” eyes calmly.

Suddenly, blood flowed like rivers, cries of anguish echoed, the ground was strewn with broken limbs, and the mountain was filled with the harrowing screams of ghosts and wolves.

On the weekend, Li Zhenguo sent Zhao Hui 3,000 yuan and they spoke on the phone again. Li Zhenguo urged Zhao Hui to take care of her health and improve her nutrition. Zhao Hui was filled with joy.

Zheng Fei chatted and dined with Emperor Nangong until late at night before returning to the hotel to rest. Early the next morning, after breakfast, their group sped toward the branch office in Jingben country in two buses.

“Just kidding! I bet even foreigners would give a thumbs-up to my sandwiches—haha… this is my specialty,” I said proudly, smiling at the half-finished product I made.

“Never expected a senior to be here. No wonder this place has always been forbidden,” said Da Huangjian respectfully.

When he used the Soul Control Technique, he could clearly see the shadows of the dead souls within fifty meters, like a modern-day spirit sight, only more advanced. Those souls he could see, he could tame and turn into slaves for their host.

Each classmate sang loudly their favorite song, the voices invigorating their spirit of diligent study, exploration, and relentless struggle.

“Done, big brother, let’s go back!” September on Earth was still very hot. After a day’s sun, the workshop’s temperature soared. Zheng Xi’s face was flushed; she hadn’t noticed the heat while working but felt it afterward.

Jiang Juan slept deeply until past nine in the morning, waking with a sore, bloated stomach.

He knew very well that whether or not Tong Xuepian had been intimate with another man, his heart had never truly been with her—at least, he would never give her the love she most desired.

“Our private rooms are divided into upper, middle, and lower classes. Lower costs ten black amethyst coins, middle one amethyst coin, upper ten amethyst coins. Where would you like to sit?” Clearly, they were being bullied—prices were listed upfront to prevent any payment troubles.

With a sharp, piercing scream, the spinning fan blades “popped” open a large gash in the head of the black-clad strongman, who collapsed stiffly onto the ground.

Wang Yuquan admitted he had spoken out of turn—he was an honest man who wouldn’t lie. So he told the plain truth: one plus two equals three.

A scene of marital tenderness moved him to tears, overwhelming him with emotion.

Suddenly, Xu Chuan shivered as if something within his body had been activated, making him feel incredibly light and free.
