New City of Silver.
In front of Bai Xiaowen, Crimson Shadow and Blue Shadow were tied up in chains and kneeling on the steps.
As for Grey Shadow, who was the last to be captured, he was currently seriously injured and paralyzed. A group of demons had temporarily used demonic fire to stop his bleeding in order to save his life. Therefore, he was not in the hall.
"Take off their masks."
Following Bai Xiaowen's order, Crimson Shadow and Blue Shadow's masks were taken off by the two demon leaders, revealing their faces.
Bai Xiaowen and Xia Feng could see their true faces. These two people had obvious Caucasian characteristics and were not very old. Perhaps because they knew that the situation was bad, their faces were very pale. They did not know what kind of torture they were going to face.
"What are your names?" Bai Xiaowen planned to start with these ordinary questions. First, he had to resolve the other party's wariness. As long as the two of them spoke, he could slowly guide them deeper. Things would be much easier.
"Job …" The young man in the crimson robe hesitated for a moment before saying a simplified name. "His name is Jobs …"
Bai Xiaowen smiled. "This is just your name. What's your surname? What's your background in Star Alliance? "
Job said in a low voice, "I was originally a member of Bao Zan Ling. It's just an unknown small territory. It can't be considered a background …"
"Bao Zan Ling?" Bai Xiaowen did not have much of an impression of a territory that was ranked fifth or even lower. However, there was no point in understanding it in depth because this young man named Job definitely had nothing to do with Bao Zan Ling.
A shallow pond could not raise a big fish. This Job's strength was at the Overlord level. How could he reside in a small territory that was even weaker than Tang Ling's territory?
"After you left Bao Zan Ling, which territory did you join?" Bai Xiaowen asked.
Job originally did not want to say, but seeing Bai Xiaowen's urgency, he had no choice but to say, "It's Mise Territory."
Bai Xiaowen frowned. He had never heard of this territory either.
"Which large organization in Star Alliance does Mise Territory belong to?"
"The World Illumination Association."
Bai Xiaowen was a little surprised. He had some dealings with the Divine Court and the Pan-Asian Organization, but he had never had any disputes with the World Illumination Society, the third major organization. Why would the World Illumination Society come to the Dark Age Plane and fight over the Death God's Bone with him?
On the side, Xia Feng said, "The World Illumination Association is a loose organization, much looser than the Divine Court and Pan-Asia. This Mise Territory is only one of the mid-tier territories and cannot represent the will of the World Illumination Association's high-tier core territories. "
Bai Xiaowen instantly understood that the Mise clan was only using the World Illumination Society as a cover.
In fact, Bai Xiaowen had also considered letting the White Phoenix Territory join a large organization so that it could maintain a certain degree of independence and slowly develop. However, ever since the White Phoenix Territory appeared in the Star Alliance, it had been targeted by the Great Tang Territory. The subsequent series of wars had also caused the White Phoenix Territory to no longer be able to keep a low profile.
"The two of you, and the other five teammates, are all members of Myst?" Bai Xiaowen asked.
"… Yes." Job said hesitantly.
Bai Xiaowen could see the change in Job's aura. Although he hesitated, what he said was true.
"Last question. If you answer honestly, I can let you go. "
Bai Xiaowen stood up. "What is the purpose of the god behind you to let you fight over the Death God's Bone?"
A hint of fear appeared on Job's face. "No … I don't know."
"It's impossible that you don't know, right?" Bai Xiaowen could tell that he was lying. "You can also change it to two small questions … What is your god's name? Did he instruct you what to do after you obtain the Death God's Bone? "
"I … I can't answer you," Job said with his head lowered.
Bai Xiaowen looked at Job, who was wearing a blue robe beside Job. He had been kneeling on the ground without saying a word.
Job felt Bai Xiaowen's gaze and looked up. He said calmly, "Don't waste your energy, Lu Wang. You won't get any valuable information from us. "
"Is that so? Looks like you're quite loyal." Bai Xiaowen's gaze quickly turned cold. "Take him out and behead him."
The two demon leaders took Job out.
Surprisingly, Job was still a tough nut to crack. When he was taken out, he did not even beg for mercy.
However, a tough nut to crack was equivalent to a thorny hedgehog to Bai Xiaowen. He could not show the slightest generosity. That would be interpreted as weakness.
After a few minutes, the two demon leaders returned and threw Job's head in front of Job.
Job gritted his teeth and clenched his fists tightly. His body was also trembling. It was not out of hatred, but out of fear.
"I … I can't say it. My every move, every word, can't escape the control of the great god … I have signed a blood oath! " Job said sadly. "Lu Wang, it's no use even if you kill me. Before I reveal any information about that god, I will die directly, even if it's a single word …"
The demon leader responsible for killing Job suddenly walked toward Bai Xiaowen, knelt on one knee, and presented an item.
"This is … a scroll?"
Bai Xiaowen took the scroll and glanced at it with the Eye of Evolution.
[Mysterious Invitation: Teleports the user to an unknown mysterious place.]
On the side of the scroll, there was a small line of words written in the demonic language.
Bai Xiaowen had a certain grasp of the demonic language at this time and translated the text at a glance.
[Do you want my wealth … Come on! I have put everything there. Only the bravest, smartest, and strongest are qualified to inherit my legacy!]
Bai Xiaowen's heart suddenly froze.
"All the wealth … Only one person can inherit the legacy …"
Bai Xiaowen chewed on the two lines of information in the demonic language and suddenly said, "This is the ticket to the Land of Origin?!"
Xia Feng was stunned. "What Land of Origin?"
Bai Xiaowen did not answer Xia Feng. His eyes were fixed on the red-robed young man, Job.
The latter was half shocked and half surprised. Bai Xiaowen caught the change in his expression at that moment.
"I don't know what you're talking about …" Job noticed Bai Xiaowen's stare and lowered his head.
"Haha, combined with the analysis of your micro-expressions, you should at least understand half of it," Bai Xiaowen said slowly. "You at least understand the word 'ticket' … As for the Land of Origin, there are many other names. Maybe the names are different in your world. But the fact that you got this ticket from Steve Jobs suggests that most likely everyone in your organization has a ticket. "
"I don't … I haven't seen any tickets," Job denied.
Of course, such a weak denial couldn't fool Bai Xiaowen.
"Haha, you don't have to deny it. I think this kind of ticket should be automatically dropped after killing. Even if one of my demon leaders killed Job, he still got the scroll, which is enough to prove this point. Maybe the ticket can't be put in the storage space, or maybe the ticket has a 100% drop rate … "
"… You really are a demon …" Job said weakly. "You guessed it all right."
Bai Xiaowen reached out his hand and said, "Give it to me."
Job lowered his head and said, "I can't give you my ticket … In addition to the ticket not being able to be put in the storage space and having a 100% drop rate, it also has a property … that is soul-bound."
"Only by killing you can I get the ticket?" Bai Xiaowen reacted quickly.
Job lowered his head and did not speak. Obviously, he agreed to this fact.
"Job, I need two tickets now," Bai Xiaowen's tone was gentle. "However, including you, there are a total of three captives … That means, I can keep your life and not take your ticket. However, you have to give me a reason for doing so. "
Job raised his head.
"Tell me all the information you know and can tell me," Bai Xiaowen said. "As for the secrets you can't tell, I can use the method of speculation to bypass your blood oath. The premise is that you have to cooperate. "
There was a hint of struggle in Job's expression. This meant that he was going to betray his god.
However, Job was also very clear that he had no choice, but 'Lv Wang' had a choice.
If Job did not cooperate, 'Lv Wang' would look for Seventh Brother Flobsey. Then, only death would await him.
However, even if he decided to betray his god, Job was not sure if he could survive. He had lost his value, but he still had a ticket. Would 'Lv Wang' really keep his promise and spare him? Or would he kill him and take another ticket?
After all, no one would complain about having too many tickets. If he took away a ticket now, it was equivalent to cutting off a competitor.
"I'm willing to cooperate …"
Job said softly.
"A wise choice." Bai Xiaowen smiled and got everyone in the hall except for Xia Feng to leave.
Job did not know many secrets. The purpose of snatching the Death God's Bone and so on were things that could not be revealed. However, regarding the seven-man organization, the Secret Society, and their boss, Gast Bibi, he still spilled everything.
"You're saying … Back then, Gast Bibi was favored by a god and became the first Chosen. Then, Gast looked for Evolvers in the Star Alliance and developed new Chosen. You were one of them?"
Job said softly, "Yes, I was only an Elite Evolver at that time. I also don't know why Boss Gast found me and gave me the opportunity to receive a god's blessing. My strength directly rose to the level of an Overlord, but from now on, I have to listen to the god's orders and follow Boss Gast. "
"From Elite to Overlord …"
Bai Xiaowen thought for a while and said, "There are two possibilities. First, Gast, or that god, has some ability to see Evolvers with potential, so he found you and infused you. Second, you're a lucky person. From my immature experience, you're most likely the second situation. "
Bai Xiaowen had once used the power of the Death God to infuse summoned creatures. The principle should be similar to Job's growth.
There were indeed summoned creatures with great strength, but the proportion was very small. Many summoned creatures couldn't withstand the infusion of divine power and exploded. However, they all had the Death God's Countenance as a foundation and could be revived after a period of time, so there wasn't any substantial loss.
If the test subject was an Evolver, naturally, he wouldn't have the ability to revive.
However, the one infusing divine power was a real god, and the potential of an Evolver was most likely stronger than a summoned creature. It wasn't impossible for Job to evolve from Elite to Overlord, but the success rate was low. Job was one of the luckier elements. Before him, he had probably exploded dozens or even hundreds of denominators.
This was also easier to explain why the Myst Hill wasn't famous and why Job was born in a weak territory like Bao Zan Hill.
Gast Bibi didn't want to attract too much attention. With such a huge increase in template, it would definitely become the focus of the entire Star Alliance. Therefore, when Gast chose "test subjects," he always chose Evolvers from weak and inconspicuous territories. He never looked for the rising stars of large territories to avoid unnecessary attention.
Bai Xiaowen then used the method of speculation to confirm some other secrets about the gods.
Job shut his mouth tightly, not daring to say a word. He could only use his eyes to confirm whether Bai Xiaowen's guess was correct or not.
Blinking meant nodding, which was correct; moving one's eyes left and right meant shaking one's head, which was wrong.
It needed to be explained that Evolvers had great control over organs like eyes and eyelids. There wouldn't be the problem of "not blinking for three days and three nights, would it be sore?"
"Is your god called Amotava?"
Moving one's eyes left and right.
"Has the god revealed his image? Is he a strange nine-headed snake? "
Moving one's eyes left and right.
"Was it your god's order to seize the Death God's Bone through Gast?"
Blinking.
"Your tickets were given directly by the god?"
Blinking.
"The god wants you to go to the Land of Origin. Is it because he himself can't go?"
This question made Job pause. He didn't blink or move his eyes.
Xia Feng had been listening attentively. Seeing Job's lack of reaction, he was a little surprised.
"Not good!"
Bai Xiaowen suddenly used a teleportation spell and hid behind Xia Feng.
In the next second, Job's head exploded like a watermelon hit by a sledgehammer. Stinky blood splattered everywhere, leaving little bloodstains on the ground. The blood seemed to have a strong corrosive effect. On the silver floor of the hall, smoke curled up in spirals.
The speed at which the blood splattered was extremely fast. It was a bit like a hidden weapon thrown by a hidden weapon expert. Three of the bloodstains shot toward Xia Feng.
Xia Feng could have dodged, but Bai Xiaowen hid behind him. He could only give up on using the power of space and use the Seed of Symbiosis to defend himself.
Three armor plates were exposed from Xia Feng's chest, legs, and face. The blood fell on the armor plates and bounced off without causing any damage.
"He's dead?" Xia Feng quickly realized that he had said nonsense. "Your reaction is quite fast."
Bai Xiaowen smiled without any embarrassment.
"The god behind him is really ruthless," Xia Feng said.
"Don't sigh …" Bai Xiaowen sighed. "Brother Xia, you have the God of Truth behind you."
