Chapter 449 Involvement
Chen Chuan turned around and found that there was another person in the office.
The man seemed to have walked out of the shadows and stood there silently. He didn't look very tall. He was wearing a military overall and had a short sword with a silver scabbard at his waist. He had a rectangular face, slightly dark skin, thick and messy hair, and a sinister look in his eyes.
Judging from its appearance, it matches the archived photo of the base, and it is Fei Tong, the garrison commander of Fort No. 285.
He looked at this person and said, "Because I knew from the beginning that all this was your doing behind the scenes, Fei Shoubei, and it wasn't anything unusual."
Fei Tong squinted at him: "Really? Then how did you know that?"
"When I arrived at the office yesterday, I found this torn piece of paper." Chen Chuan took out the pieced-together paper and gestured to the other party.
This was torn from your personal diary. Looking at the messy lines and the characters, do you seem to be planning to make us think you are crazy?"
Fei Tong took a look and asked, "Why, am I not imitating well?"
Chen Chuanshuo said: "I can't say it doesn't look like it, but it's just similar. Although you try your best to make your lines look 'crazy', they lack that real madness. And Fei Shoubei, your biggest flaw is that you wrote so much without puncturing the paper even once. It's hard to say that you are really crazy.
And then at the end, they tore it up and threw it into the wastebasket. There was nothing in the wastebasket except it. This was clearly intended for people to see. This action was too logical and too deliberate.
Fei Tong was silent for a moment before he said, "Just based on this, you're sure it's me?"
Chen Chuanshuo said: "This alone is indeed not certain, but at least it lets me know that someone is deliberately disrupting the view, because if it is abnormal, with the completeness of the protection here, it is impossible to get in without an insider.
Since you are the owner of the diary and the one who has the ability to do it, I have no doubt who you are doubting."
Fei Tong suddenly had a cold smile on his face and said, "So you don't have any clear evidence and are just speculating based on your own feelings?"
Chen Chuan said sincerely, "That's not the case. In fact, I knew yesterday that it was Fei Shoubei who was going to take care of you."
Fei Tong's expression was slightly tense. "Yesterday?"
"Yes, yesterday."
Chen Chuan looked at him and said, "Captain Fei, you probably haven't practiced your field specifically or learned any field techniques, right? Last night, when you were standing outside the hall, I could sense your field.
That is a field that only third-level fighters can enter. Combined with the previous evidence, it is enough to prove that it is you.
By the way, when I came in just now, you followed me in quietly, but your presence was very obvious, almost making it clear that you were there, it was hard for me not to notice."
He smiled and said, "This fully demonstrates that without some skills and knowledge, even disguises cannot be done well."
Fei Tong's expression darkened. "What you said was very unpleasant. I don't like it."
A strong murderous intent emanated from his body, but Chen Chuan remained unmoved and continued to speak: "When I pointed my suspicion at you yesterday, I kept wondering why you would do such a thing?
Judging from what happened in the rest stop, I guess it's probably because your brains have been activated, so you did these things. If a problem occurs in the third-limit combat of a base, you are indeed capable of doing this.
But I think..."
He raised his eyes and said slowly, "Your problem definitely didn't arise suddenly. You didn't passively accept it. Instead, you planned it for a long time and took the initiative."
Fei Tong sneered and said, "You figured this out again?"
"yes."
Chen Chuan said frankly, "The field I felt yesterday was icy cold, but there was something hidden within it. It was very similar to the Iron Demon I once encountered. I don't think this is a surprise, but a similar situation.
And I happened to hear that this is a kind of activation technology of the old imperial family, and this technology is currently being given to some people who have been granted titles by the old imperial family."
He looked at Fei Tong and said, "So, it seems that you have received benefits from the old imperial family and are ready to serve them?"
Fei Tong stared at him intently.
Chen Chuan added, "I've thought about it. Although the events here and the Iron Demon happened some time apart, I've checked. If their plan doesn't go well and both retreat routes are blocked, they can still go through some remote areas and then go back from here. That's also possible.
Although there will still be losses by doing so, it is much better than going somewhere else. From this point of view, you may be the retreat they arranged early on, or you may be the traitor.
But after the Iron Demon was dealt with, the original plan could not be completed, and you may have already staked everything on one thing and there was no turning back, so the things that happened later happened.
But I don’t know why you are still staying here since you have done all these things.
I'm guessing that Tie Yao might have been your introducer. Now that Tie Yao is dead, you're afraid that if you just go there, the old imperial family will embarrass you, so you've caused so much trouble. You want to bring back more spoils, hoping to use them to give them an explanation. Am I right?"
Fei Tong's expression became increasingly gloomy.
Chen Chuan looked at his expression, nodded, and said, "It seems that I guessed right about this matter. Well, at least I guessed right a little bit."
Fei Tong took a deep breath, stretched out his hand to the hilt of the dagger at his waist, his eyes filled with murderous intent, "Yes, where else can I go after doing this? I can only go to the other side, but I have to bring some gifts when I go there, right?
But I didn't expect it would be you.
I heard it was you who slew the Iron Demon, so I think they would love your head, and maybe even give me a real title."
Chen Chuanshuo said, "You seem very confident."
Fei Tong snorted and pulled out the dagger from his waist with a clang. This weapon was suitable for use in this not-so-wide venue. At the same time, tendrils sprouted from his exposed neck and quickly wrapped around the outside, looking somewhat similar to the situation of the Iron Demon at that time.
"Activation has given me tremendous strength and has made me understand many things. My spirit and body have been elevated once again. Now I am at least twice as strong as before.
He looked at Chen Chuan with a sinister grin. "Besides, why do you think I showed up? Was it just because of a word you said? I've already seen that you sent two of your team members out and they won't be back for a while. And you don't have a knife on you, how can you be my opponent?!"
Chen Chuan stared at him with calm eyes. Originally, they were far apart, but the next moment, he suddenly appeared in front of Fei Tong and punched the latter in the stomach.
Fei Tong realized something was wrong and tried to step back, using the alienated tissue in his body to absorb the force. However, the force was too strong and it was running rampant in his body. He had no way to completely dissipate it. After retreating several meters, he suddenly half-knelt on the ground and retched.
"Why do you think I didn't bring a knife?"
A calm voice suddenly appeared in his ears, and he was startled. Chen Chuan appeared in front of him again, looking down at him.
"That's because I don't need these to deal with you."
As he spoke, he kicked him. This time Fei Tong reacted and tried to thrust out the dagger while turning his back.
However, the dagger was kicked back halfway by the powerful force of the foot. The sword and the arm hit his body back, and the whole person was kicked into the wall behind him, creating a huge gap there, and bricks fell to the ground with a crash.
Chen Chuan walked forward slowly. He did not carry any weapons. That was because he had previously understood the man's strengths and weaknesses through the field, and he could subdue him even with his bare hands.
And if we don’t do this, how could the other party pop out so easily?
Fei Tong coughed several times while lying in the pile of broken bricks. After these two blows, if it were before, he would have broken bones and lost his fighting ability, but now he could still struggle to get up from the ground.
But before he could stand up again, another punch came at him. He quickly raised his hand to block it, but the fist pushed his hand and hit him in the face. With a bang, he staggered backward.
This force not only made his arms sore, weak and numb, but also sent a powerful force into his brain, repeatedly impacting it and causing his eyes to go black.
Fortunately, he is no longer a normal person. His brain tissue is firmly attached to his skull, so he has not suffered a serious concussion and can still maintain clear consciousness.
At this time, he was shocked and angry, realizing that he had greatly underestimated his opponent, so he roared wildly, his aura suddenly rose, and the dense limbs on his body suddenly turned bright red, while his body gradually turned white, as if it had drunk a lot of blood.
Chen Chuan could feel that when those limbs grew stronger, the field representing the limbs rose rapidly, while the field representing the part of the body declined rapidly.
This is an extreme overdraft of one's own life potential to increase the strength of the alienated tissue. Perhaps all of one's own essence and blood are also invested in it. This practice can indeed temporarily improve combat effectiveness.
But it's only for a period of time. If he holds on a little longer, even if he doesn't actively attack, the other person will exhaust himself to death.
So if he had no scruples, he could just keep his distance from it and wait for it to be defeated.
But he had other team members outside and couldn't do such things, so he could only do it himself with a little more effort.
At this moment, taking advantage of Fei Tong's body change, he took another step to stand in front of the man, stretched out his hand and pushed him. The latter felt that he had just blocked it, and then he felt an unmatched force hitting him. His whole feet left the ground and he was pushed out of the gap in the office.
