"So the strange things that happened at the Training Hall were only because of the students' personal issues?" Ozawa was quite surprised.
He did not expect this to be the outcome. After all, it was difficult to explain the series of events that had happened.
"I'll take care of the Training Hall. There's no need for you all to worry about it," Nobuko Fujikata said.
"I'm sorry for troubling everyone," Takaqiaofeng said.
"Miss Ling Ling, if you're a Seven Star Hunter Master, and you're only settling the personal issues of these young people, there's no need for us to hold this emergency meeting," the Manager was already dissatisfied with Ling Ling's attitude.
In the Manager's opinion, these matters were not worth mentioning compared to Hei Chuanjing's whereabouts. The atmosphere in the Shuangshou Pavilion was extremely tense. Everyone had their own thoughts, and would sometimes do something out of line. It was impossible to tell how long it would take them to find out the truth.
"If you want to know Hei Chuanjing's whereabouts, listen to me patiently. It's related to something I'm about to tell you," Ling Ling said.
"Can't you just tell me where Hei Chuanjing is!?" the Manager snapped angrily.
"Manager, let's just listen to Ling Ling. Even if it's urgent, there's no need to rush. Besides, the Shuangshou Pavilion has been sealed off. There's no way Hei Chuanjing could have escaped," Mochizuki No Ken advised.
Ling Ling ignored the Manager's impatience and continued, "Let's talk about the officer who committed seppuku at the same time. He used to be a guard of the East Guardian Pavilion. He had been blaming himself for killing Ming Song, who was sent to prison after being framed. He even started to lose his mind recently, claiming that he kept seeing the souls of the dead. In the end, he couldn't stand the torture and chose to commit seppuku as an apology."
The Manager harrumphed coldly. This time, he did not interrupt Ling Ling.
Everyone knew about what Ling Ling had said, and Uncle Yongshan's death was not included in the list of bizarre events. After all, it was not only his self-blame that affected him, but the public opinion also put a lot of pressure on him. It could be said that many people had expected that he would choose to end his life in this way.
"Speaking of which, we have to mention the evil group that has been spreading in the East Guardian Tower for a long time. The evil organization once recruited a huge number of prisoners and formed a formidable force. They posed a great threat to the guards of the East Guardian Tower, so I would like to ask, did you give the order to eliminate the members of the evil organization? "Ling Ling asked the question directly.
Pavilion Master Chong Jing glanced at everyone present. This matter was not considered a secret within the Shuangshou Pavilion. Pavilion Master Chong Jing openly admitted, "Yes, I gave the order to eliminate the source of trouble, so that the souls of the prisoners who were originally serving their sentences would be extracted in advance."
"Then, Pavilion Master, have you ever thought of a problem?" Ling Ling asked.
"What problem?"
"The people you gave the order to kill weren't the members of the evil organization, but those who did not join the evil organization, or were unwilling to …" Ling Ling suddenly said.
Pavilion Master Chong Jing's expression darkened when he heard the words. He slammed the table furiously and snapped, "Nonsense!"
Mochizuki No Ken, Nobuko Fujikata, General Takuichi, Mochizuki Chihaya, Takahashi Kaede, Ozawa, and the others were dumbfounded.
"How … how is that possible? The evil organization had already been eliminated. It's true that some of the prisoners were killed in the process, but it's unavoidable since I've stopped the evil organization from expanding. Miss Ling Ling, are you mistaken? How could our Pavilion Master, the soldiers, and the guards who were carrying out the order have the situation reversed?" Ozawa said with a stiff expression. However, he forced a smile to ease the tension in the air.
"Since there was an incident of accidental killings, and a huge number of them were involved, it means that even you couldn't tell who the members of the evil organization were and how many people they had. Is there a possibility that the evil organization is actually quite huge in the East Guardian Tower, but some people are still unwilling to obey them and join them, like Ming Song, who is a righteous person to begin with."
"Therefore, when Pavilion Master realized the organization was growing stronger, the leader of the evil organization knew about the plan to eliminate the source of the problem. He placed the innocent prisoners and those who were unwilling to join them on the evil organization's list, and used Pavilion Master's hand to eliminate the dissidents, allowing them to control the entire East Guardian Tower."
Ling Ling paced around as she spoke. Her eyes were staring at Pavilion Master Chong Jing as if she was interrogating him!
The meeting room suddenly fell silent. Only the sound of Ling Ling's footsteps and her terrifying speculations could be heard.
Pavilion Master Chong Jing's chest began to rise and fall heavily. It was obvious that his emotions were unstable.
"Bullsh * t! Bullsh * t! What does a little girl like you know? Have you experienced that era? Do you know what happened? Ming Song was framed, and he joined the evil gang out of resentment. This was the truth at that time. Why did you say that we wronged him? Why did we have to accept the reprimand of society? "Pavilion Master Chong Jing said angrily.
"Pavilion Master, there's no need for you to be so angry. I believe you were misled by someone else, too. You would never have thought that not only were the prisoners brainwashed by the evil organization, some of your guards had also joined the evil organization," Ling Ling said to Pavilion Master Chong Jing.
These words struck Pavilion Master Chong Jing, who was originally furious, as if he had been struck by lightning. His entire body stiffened as he returned to his seat.
"Pavilion Master?" Mochizuki No Ken stared at Pavilion Master Chong Jing in astonishment.
What Ling Ling said was just a hypothesis. It was normal for the Pavilion Master to scold her. After all, if what Ling Ling said was true, Pavilion Master Chong Jing had made a huge mistake back then, an irreparable sin.
Even though Ling Ling's hypothesis was reasonable, no one believed it, including Pavilion Master Chong Jing, who was infuriated after being insulted.
Mochizuki No Ken and Nobuko Fujikata finally realized that Ling Ling's hypothesis might be true when Pavilion Master Chong Jing wore a look of disbelief and panic!
Otherwise, why would Pavilion Master Chong Jing be acting like this!?
Could it be that the people killed in the plan to eliminate the roots were not members of the evil organization?
At that time, the entire East Guardian Tower was already under the control of the evil organization?
