This was the game between Almighties. They were like giants who had come ashore and trampled on the calm beach, completely disregarding the lives of the small shrimps at the bottom.
Odd Zhuo had been caught, and this meticulously planned scheme had officially been exposed.
"Whose instructions did you receive?" To the surprise of the team leader of Team One, Odd Zhuo didn't resist at all, and obediently put on the Spirit Shackles.
"Director Zhuo, you can only blame yourself for meddling too much in other people's business. We're just following orders. You have no right to know whose instructions we received. "The team leader's expression was indifferent as he waved his hand and ordered the others to take Odd Zhuo away.
"Team leader, Odd Zhuo didn't resist at all. Could it be a trap?"
"It can't be." The team leader shook his head confidently. "The Spirit Shackles can restrain all spirit power. If it's just Odd Zhuo's clone who's being taken away, the clone will automatically disintegrate the moment the handcuffs are put on."
At that moment, outside the General Administration of 100 Schools building in Songhai city, in a van operated by a humanoid Loopy Toad, Odd Zhuo heaved a long sigh of relief. "As expected of shifu, he actually predicted this …"
The person being handcuffed was the "real clone" that Wang Ling had customized for Odd Zhuo remotely. Like Crispy Noodles Dao Monarch, Odd Zhuo's real clone also had spiritual intelligence and was completely no different from a real person.
How could a mere Spirit Shackles break through such a high-level Heaven's Path Clone Technique?
Although Odd Zhuo had been saved by Wang Ling, he still had lingering fears.
Because Warden Liang really was dead.
Although Odd Zhuo hadn't seen it with his own eyes, the "real clone" shared memories. When he saw Warden Liang's head roll at his feet, it was as if he had experienced it himself, and he felt the pain in his heart.
"Don't worry too much. Once everything is over, Little Master Ling will find a way. But given the current situation, someone has to die for the whole thing to be more real. We have to make the mastermind believe that he's carrying out his plan step by step; only then will we have a chance to ferret him out. "Loopy Toad skillfully drove the car away from the scene with Odd Zhuo.
It had learned this skill from Wei Zhi when he had been driving around the blue circle in the game, and didn't have a driver's license yet. But in order to save Odd Zhuo, Loopy Toad couldn't care less.
"I understand, I trust shifu completely. It was just that this matter was too sudden. What kind of secret does this Cleon have that's worth that pusher doing this? "In the front passenger seat, Odd Zhuo was puzzled no matter how he thought about it.
"Maybe the answer is here." Loopy Toad casually tossed him a brocade pouch.
This was in fact the last message Warden Liang had left for Odd Zhuo.
In order to get this message out, Warden Liang had sent out several spirit swords. He knew that his message could be intercepted, so he used the Infinity Sword he was wearing as bait and prepared another spirit sword to deliver the message to Loopy Toad.
After opening the brocade pouch, he found a strange list.
"SBP Foundation's name list? Why does Old Liang have it? "
"Yes. I've seen it before, but I don't understand what it means. "
There were seven numbers on the list, which corresponded to seven tarot cards: Moon, Star, Sun, Judgment, Chariot, Fate and The Fool.
"It seems that Huaxiu Alliance has long been aware of the SBP Foundation, but their internal opinions on this foundation aren't unified, which is why today's incident happened. And this Cleon might be the key to everything, "Odd Zhuo said as he stared at the list. This was all just speculation, and so far, he didn't have any proof.
Furthermore, the message Warden Liang had left him was really too vague. The only thing Odd Zhuo could glean from it was that behind the SBP Foundation, there might be seven big shots who represented these seven tarot cards.
But who these seven people were on earth was still a mystery.
"Where are we going now?"
"When we get to Wei Zhi's house, we have to gather our people first. Senior Immortal is already on his way to Jinghua city. He wants to go to HQ to see what's going on. "
"Won't he be intercepted?"
"Senior Immortal just gave me a new message. He said that a mysterious person helped him change his identity and smoothly passed the security check at the ship yard."
Mysterious person …
Odd Zhuo rubbed his chin as he muttered in his heart.
"This means that behind this matter, there are two forces that are fighting against each other."
"No, there are three forces."
Loopy Toad said, "We're the third."
…
After successfully arriving at the staff apartment where Wei Zhi lived, the first thing Odd Zhuo did was turn on the news channel. After skimming through it, he realized that the news of his arrest hadn't been announced yet, and he breathed a slight sigh of relief in his heart.
"For them, the news of your arrest is just a pawn in a game of chess. They won't announce it unless it's absolutely necessary," Wang Zhen said.
The people in the apartment had already roughly understood the ins and outs of the incident while Loopy Toad and Odd Zhuo were still on the way.
At that moment, Wang Zhen, Liu Qingyi, Gu Shunzhi, Zhenyuan, Li Huanran and Wei Zhi were all here.
Loopy Toad looked around carefully and didn't see any trace of Jiang Yingyue. "Where's the founder of Shadow Stream?"
"She's in seclusion in the bathroom," Liu Qingyi replied. "She's been like this since the news about Cleon came out. It doesn't feel good to be deceived by a big shot in drag. I actually quite understand … "
"…"
Skipping over the topic of Jiang Yingyue, Odd Zhuo still felt like his mind was in a fog. "I don't understand why they captured me."
"You were very close to Battle Sect, so it was probably to restrain Battle Sect. It's just that they didn't expect us to protect the real you."
Everyone sat cross-legged on the carpet in a circle as they started to analyze the situation in front of them.
"There are at least two forces secretly competing inside Huaxiu Alliance … but I feel like we're missing something," Odd Zhuo said. "Even if Cleon is from the SBP Foundation, he's just a foreigner. In theory, there's no conflict of interest involved. Huaxiu Alliance also has no reason to protect him. "
"We'll talk about this later. Let's first analyze the information that Warden Liang left behind." Gu Shunzhi also felt that this matter was a little interesting. When Odd Zhuo showed them the identity information of the seven tarot cards that Warden Liang had left behind, Gu Shunzhi felt that the whole thing had become even more interesting.
"What are you laughing at?"
"Right now, it's possible that we're the only forces in this mess on paper, and the others don't know each other's identities behind the scenes. Don't you think it's a little like playing werewolf? "
Gu Shunzhi said, "If these seven cards symbolize the seven people behind the SBP Foundation, then why do they call each other by their code names? Doesn't this mean that they also don't know each other's identities? "
"You mean …" Everyone looked at Gu Shunzhi as if they understood, but not quite.
"The way to break out of this situation is actually very simple. We just need to ferret out one of these seven people, and then make a bold move. At that time, all the things hidden in the deep water will surface. "
