NOVEL NEXT Chapter 505 Trouble
Dream Spirit Communication!
Tao Yu was the first to use the corpse of the "Light Swordsmith," Frey, to initiate their deceased spirit's Dream Spirit Communication.
He felt he did not possess any extraordinary talent for questioning, nor did he have any special Taming Techniques as a man, so he opted for the more barbaric use of Dream Spirit Communication.
Though he could not excavate everything with complete certainty, it was sufficient to corroborate some of the words from the living captives later on!
"Frey, you've been a Patrol Executive for twenty years now, haven't you..."
In an office, a figure enveloped in cigar smoke slowly exhaled.
"One opportunity, and after it's done, this position is yours, think it over."
His direct superior's advice.
"I remember you have a daughter..."
While he was "considering", a stranger passing by greeted him with a smile.
"Someone will teach you the specifics."
An indiscernible figure coldly issued him orders.
"Come, sign a contract..."
"!@#&...!@%#~"
Scenes and figures switched continually, finally settling on the contract.
Symbols soaked in blood on human skin parchment seemed to magnify through Dream Divination, attempting, in turn, to infect and pollute Tao Yu.
But such pollution held no meaning for Tao Yu.
However, it was precisely because of this pollution's washout, similar to the drop items from those polluted Wish-Powered Creatures, that it muddled the information, leading to the spirit's dissolution and subsequent spirit communications losing valid information...
"People from the Security Department, huh."
Tao Yu knew this well-known "Light Swordsmith" was part of the Security Department.
Yet through Dream Spirit Communication, he discovered it was orchestrated by his direct superior and even the superior's superior, suffice to suggest the hidden representatives' influence!
In both the Inner City and Outer City, the Security Teams, which strictly just "maintain public order", could be considered elite and indeed managed most issues.
Theoretically, Security Teams were subordinate to the government and belonged to the city council.
Nominally, the company had no direct authority to appoint members to the Security Teams.
However, from the start to the finish, the most robust, most organized military branch in Starshine City was always the company's direct Security Department!
The Security Department often dealt more with issues within the Abyss.
"The Suns are also part of the corporate decision-making layer, and it's normal for the company to have internal factions. Although having someone from the Security Department doesn't clarify everything, it also implies that the forces behind the scenes can at least wrestle with the Suns..."
While this could be seen as "individual action" and also corporate "factional behavior," directly deploying someone from the Security Department sent a significant signal!
And the most effective piece of information from him was that their reason for coming was to incite Baron Harkonnen to strike at a specific moment.
But exactly when and what they intended was unknown.
Knowing this information, because it was disclosed in advance to Baron Harkonnen, was unprotected.
From the Black Mud, they extracted a second prisoner who was on their last breath and sealed.
Cloaked, his entire body was sticky, and his face had black lines continuously crawling as if little insects were moving inside him.
Seeing this, Rasa and Yecang, who came along with the Foreman's people, observed quietly.
Indeed, you're the most twisted one!
What are these abilities, anyway!
"Wow, no news about you, who are you? Your strength shouldn't be unknown."
As Tao Yu looked at the man, whose eyes even struggled to move and did not match up with any heroes he knew.
"Eight-Armed Vajra... you deceived everyone, but as a follower of the Evil God, you needn't be a servant for the Suns, we haven't missed an opportunity to collaborate, or rather, we are more suitable for you..."
Under Tao Yu's control, the shadowy figure managed to speak in a hoarse voice.
Clearly, due to Tao Yu's Underworld techniques, he was directly regarded as a follower of the Evil God.
And it had been nearly two years since Tao Yu awoke; his power had inflated so much within those two years.
He did not just swiftly kill a "Light Swordsmith".
The chains with strong sealing abilities and the wide-ranging Wood Release skills had both proven that the opponent's strength was no ordinary World Breaker.
Coupled with these Underworld abilities, if not a disciple of the Evil God, then who could he be?
He must have paid a huge price, such as overdrafting his life or selling his soul, to acquire something by twisted means from the Evil God.
To be honest, if he could gain such a formidable power, he was tempted himself.
It wasn't incomprehensible!
"Even if you don't want to join us, I can join you, how do I sign up, take me with you..."
This shadow seemed to have sensed Tao Yu's slight speechlessness and changed the angle, causing Tao Yu to feel even more helpless.
You, how dare you tarnish my reputation!
There were plenty of Underworld abilities in the Abyss, and wasn't Sun Guangyao also from the shadow side?
Well, but it looked like the Suns had even managed to conjure up a Succubus, indeed unclean, but he was definitely wronged!
"Tell me everything you can, I might consider it. I've already learned some information from Foreman before; don't try to fool me, I have the skill to discern your words..."
Tao Yu spoke calmly.
"You've already discovered it, actually there's nothing bad to say. Our goal is actually quite clear, just to prove that the Suns are mismanaging the New Development Zone..."
The mysterious captive opened up honestly.
Having been caught red-handed, their goal was actually easy to deduce.
But specific details about the timing, form, and methods couldn't be revealed due to the constraints of the contract.
What he could say was actually a clear and obvious conspiracy.
Just like the Alien unrest in the Avatar Forest.
Destruction is always easier than construction!
Under the leadership of Sun Shiyu, the Suns had been thriving.
With the Scripture Depository, Superconductive Mines, and even specialties like Spice.
Plus Alien breeding, Wish-Power crops cultivation, and other long-term activities, along with the billions of indigenous manpower nearby and a few relatively stable fragments.
The future looked promising. Find adventures at My Virtual Library Empire
The Suns had always managed the New Development Zone well and also proved its value.
Initially, the Suns were also forced to venture into the New Development Zone due to an accident with the family core, receiving no support from other families.
Now that they had risen, they naturally had greater autonomy.
If someone wanted to reshuffle the cards, they would naturally want to muddy the waters.
From colluding with the Fortune Thief to wanting to use a one-time personal Teleportation Device to inciting local powers for trouble.
It could be said that their attempts had never stopped.
These were just what Tao Yu knew, the little rich miss had not mentioned some of the overt and covert attacks, and who knew how many there were.
But their strength was strong enough, and since they held control of the Teleportation Device, it only looked calm on the surface.
But obviously, some behind the scenes didn't want this kind of 'calm'.
This may involve competition among original family forces as well as disputes over the original interests of the New Development Zone...
"So that's it, I'm quite interested in you guys now; come, give me a copy of the contract to understand better."
Tao Yu reached out his hand to the other party, his face full of eager anticipation.
"Ah, about that... I brought only one-time items, already used by Baron Harkonnen; maybe you can wait a bit."
The captive showed a bit of difficulty on his face.
But him willing to listen was actually good news!
No matter what the other party lacked, his side could specifically provide it, definitely tempting for the other side!
"I have a copy of the Contract Document here, can it work as a substitute?"
Tao Yu took out the one he had previously seized.
"Er, actually both types are from the Evil Spirit World, and although what I used is a one-time item, the binding power is indeed stronger, and you can't override it."
Hearing this, Tao Yu sighed slightly, then said somewhat indifferently,
"Then lend me some Yuan Force, I don't have any Yuan Force to make inter-dimensional contacts anymore..."
