"Yongshan, your uncle didn't commit seppuku just to apologize to Ming Song. He was also apologizing to the prisoners that died unjustly, and to the Head of the Pagoda, who was fooled. He was one of the guards that was involved in the evil organization, and he was the one that compiled the list of non-evil members and gave it to the Head of the Pagoda."
"Ming Song was indeed killed by mistake, but every prisoner that died because of the incident was killed by mistake. However, the other prisoners were all serious criminals, so the society wouldn't care if they were dead or alive. Ming Song was an accident, and it was because of this accident that people learned about the evil organization and the plan to eliminate the roots. Unfortunately, people only knew the surface."
Everyone's expression shifted after Ling Ling finished her speech, as if they needed some time to digest the enormous information.
That being said, some of the management's faces were extremely pale, as they continued to ponder the matter.
"If the people that died back then were all dissidents of the evil organization, it means the prisoners in the East Guardian Tower were all evil. So many years have passed, doesn't that mean they have grown so strong that we can't even imagine?" Shou Watani suddenly spoke up. His voice was trembling slightly!
Wasn't that too terrifying!?
Not only were the evil groups not eliminated, they even became the dominant group because of the wrong name list. Didn't that mean the East Guardian Tower had turned into a gathering place for the evil groups, considering how quickly they were growing like a parasite?
"Err … Miss Ling Ling, do you have any evidence for what you just said?" asked Ozawa softly.
Ozawa had purposely asked the Hunter Master from China to calm everyone down and resolve the strange situation, just to calm the panic in everyone's hearts. After all, there were too many strange things happening at the same time.
Ozawa was quite happy when he saw Ling Ling resolving the problem between the Training Hall and the National Training Hall. It turned out that the seemingly strange things were actually the students' own problems.
To his surprise, Ling Ling suddenly threw out a nuclear bomb. Everyone's hair stood on end when they heard the news, let alone calming down their panic.
Instead of calming down, they panicked even more!
"I don't have any clear evidence, but you all know whether it's true or not. I'm just saying it out loud. Pavilion Master, if you wish to continue hiding the truth, I can tell you responsibly that when the moonless night arrives, everyone in the Shuangshou Pavilion will lose their lives. At that time, not only will you be the sinner who accidentally killed a prisoner and strengthened the evil organization, but you will also be the sinner who destroyed the centuries-old foundation of the Shuangshou Pavilion. " Ling Ling's attitude was very firm. There was not a trace of playfulness or doubt on her somewhat youthful face.
Ling Ling was so serious and dignified. Even though she was a young girl, her aura was beyond her age. She was like a senior scholar who had a lot of experience.
Pavilion Master Chong Jing had been sitting in a daze for a long time.
The truth was buried deep in his heart a long time ago. He was unwilling to accept it. He tried to convince himself that the plan was to eliminate the evil organization, but was that really the case?
This subordinate of his had also confessed everything to him before committing seppuku.
That night, Pavilion Master Chong Jing was in his room. He witnessed his subordinate committing seppuku, with blood flowing out and life fading away. The man's face was full of regret and despair, as he begged him to save the Shuangshou Pavilion …
Pavilion Master Chong Jing initially thought it was a great sin that he would bury in his stomach, but he did not expect it to be pointed out by an outsider Hunter today.
How did an outsider like her know it so clearly?
"Pavilion Master!"
"Please tell us the truth!"
"Pavilion Master, is the Shuangshou Pavilion really in danger?"
"Pavilion Master, let's lift the seal and contact Osaka. Ask them to come forward and solve the problem."
"Yeah, it's not the best idea to seal everyone here. It will only make us more uneasy and cause more terrifying incidents."
The Pavilion Master suddenly slammed the table. His aura skyrocketed!
"Impossible! There's no way the seal can be lifted. I won't allow any scum to escape into society. Even if the Shuangshou Pavilion is covered in bruises, I won't let it happen! "the Pavilion Master said sternly.
Everyone fixed their eyes on the Pavilion Master. They did not understand why the Pavilion Master would say something like that all of a sudden.
"Hei Chuanjing is only an excuse. I believe the Pavilion Master knows where Hei Chuanjing is. The Pavilion Master's goal is to seal off the Shuangshou Pavilion and use Hei Chuanjing to find the leader of the evil organization, "Ling Ling said to the crowd.
"Miss Ling Ling is right, Hei Chuanjing didn't escape from the prison. I was the one who sent a troop into the East Guardian Tower to escort him out," Pavilion Master Chong Jing nodded.
"Pavilion Master, why did you do that? Why did you create such a panic for everyone?" an instructor asked in confusion.
"Miss Ling Ling, please tell us, I … I … I don't know what to say." Pavilion Master Chong Jing's attitude toward Ling Ling was completely different. It was obvious that he respected Ling Ling, an outstanding Hunter!
"As I said before, the evil organization has gotten rid of their dissidents, and has been growing stronger in the East Guardian Tower. Many people in the East Guardian Tower have even become their members. As a matter of fact, that was something that happened many years ago. Until now, the evil organization has already crossed the suspension bridge and infiltrated the West Guard Pavilion. They have also spread across the management of the West Guard Pavilion, the school, the military, the prison, and many other areas. It's just as you all are panicking, your friends, colleagues, teachers, subordinates, and superiors are all members of the evil organization, "Ling Ling glanced at the emergency meeting room sharply.
Her words immediately stirred up a great uproar!
The evil organization that was born among the prisoners had already infiltrated the West Guard Pavilion?
"Pavilion Master, is that true?" General Takuichi obviously did not know the truth. He stared at the Pavilion Master.
Mochizuki No Ken and Nobuko Fujikata remained silent.
Did they really not know anything about it?
Perhaps they were aware of it, but they were unsure.
Ling Ling's words left them in disbelief, yet they had no choice but to face the truth helplessly.
"The West Guard Pavilion has always been in order for so many years. How could the evil organization possibly infiltrate the place?"
"Yeah, the prisoners are all locked up in the East Guardian Tower. There are forbidding auras trapping them inside. So what if they are all members of the evil organization? They won't be able to escape from the East Guardian Tower."
"Pavilion Master, I don't think we should accept it so easily. No matter what position we are in, we are all serving the Shuangshou Pavilion loyally. It's quite disappointing that we're being doubted like this."
"The enemy might not be able to destroy the Shuangshou Pavilion, but the fear and suspicion caused by the rumors are the ones that are going to kill us, right?"
Soon, a group of people stood up to object. They expressed their own opinions, and there were also people who refuted Lin Ling's statement.
Most people were like that. Even if they knew the truth, they would rather believe it to be fake. Otherwise, it would be difficult to maintain the current situation …
"I'm sorry, everyone, but by sealing off the Shuangshou Pavilion, it means that I'm determined to stop the Shuangshou Pavilion from being corrupted."
