Chapter 674: Catching the Traitor
Sun Cheng nodded, glanced at the room he had just come out of, and got a nod from the other party before walking towards the room where Wu Yue was resting.
Wu Yue had been on guard all night, and had gone out for a while, so his supernatural powers were greatly consumed. He had been resting after breakfast. Even so, when he heard the sound of someone coming in, he reacted quickly and opened his eyes. His eyes were clear and it was impossible to tell that he was still asleep.
"What's wrong?" Seeing that the person coming was Sun Cheng, Wu Yue thought that something had happened to the wounded and immediately stood up.
"It's not a big deal." Sun Cheng stopped him and told him the news that Fang Tang was coming. He also briefly talked about Fang Tang's experience. "This child doesn't look very old, but he is very trustworthy to Qi Le. He is a smart child."
Sun Cheng sighed. He was just a child but he was able to protect his sister and live in such a world. It was obvious that the experience was not a good one. It was a pity that he met Qi Le.
I don’t know what the future will be like.
"Hearing what you said, since his supernatural power is so strong, maybe he can be won over to help us." This was not just Wu Yue's idea. After returning home in the middle of the night last night, he recalled what happened here. Suddenly, he felt that not everyone had noticed Qi Le's little action.
At least he believed that Sha Peng must know something, otherwise how could he not know that he was gathering information from his position? The reason he accompanied him in the play was just for his own purpose.
As for what he wanted to do, Wu Yue hadn't figured it out yet.
"His sister is not very old, and she must be in Qi Le's control. Just looking at the identities of the psychics they chose, we can tell that they really have ulterior motives. These family members are not that free." Sun Cheng sighed in his heart, misfortune often finds those who are suffering.
As Wu Yue was talking to him, his supernatural power had already spread along the ground beneath his feet to the room where Fang Tang was. Mo Tiantian was a little girl who was really easy to coax. At this moment, she was immersed in the snack TV show again. Fang Tang, who was sitting next to him, lowered her head and looked at the small bag in her hand, not knowing what she was thinking.
After all, she felt that she was being lazy. After Mo Tiantian tried to invite Fangtang to watch the variety show together but was rejected, she didn't dare to eat the meat anymore. She became much more well-behaved. After sitting upright, she whispered, "Brother Tangtang, can you please not tell Aunt Tan and Master that I'm here when you go back..."
"Did you agree to anything else?" Fang Tang asked directly without looking at her.
"No, no, I..." Mo Tiantian saw Fang Tang's calm eyes looking at her as if he saw through everything. She stopped talking silently, twisted her fingers, and said for a while, "They just want me to rest for a while so that I can absorb a few more crystal cores..."
"But I know my limits. I definitely didn't hurt myself." Mo Tiantian knew what a healing person like her meant to the base. She was almost ready to swear to the heavens. Then she clasped her hands together in a flattering manner, "Can you please not tell them..."
Fangtang looked at her bright and innocent smile and asked an irrelevant question after a while, "How old are you this year?"
“…Thirteen, what’s wrong?” Mo Tiantian was puzzled.
"Thirteen... Thirteen..." Fang Tang murmured softly, holding the dried meat bag that Sun Cheng gave him in one hand, and the other hand unconsciously touching his pocket.
The bulge there was not noticeable on people who carried weapons nowadays, but Wu Yue had a hunch that the source of Fang Tang's uneasiness must be placed there.
Mo Tiantian was still begging him not to tell on him. After a while, Fang Tang said, "I won't say much, but the master has come out of seclusion. You'd better be careful that he finds out that you have been punished."
Just these words frightened Mo Tiantian, and the relaxed look on her face instantly disappeared by half. "Master has come out of retreat? When did he come out?"
She lowered her head and sniffed herself, "I don't have any smell left on me, do I?"
Fang Tang ignored her and said, "He who came out this morning said that the Mountain God was not feeling well and needed to recuperate for a while. He will be in charge of the base temporarily."
The worry on Mo Tiantian's face was real. She wanted to say something, but seemed to be concerned about Fang Tang's identity and hesitated.
"I don't know anything" Fang Tang answered all her questions with one sentence.
Neither of them spoke for a moment. Wu Yue thought for a moment and focused his attention on Sun Cheng. "You should have more people promote our base in front of him. Anyone who has concerns will know what to choose."
"You want him to go to our base, but his special abilities..." Sun Cheng didn't finish his words. After all, they were just guessing about the special abilities of everyone in the Mountain God Base.
Wu Yue didn't answer, but sighed, "Let's just get through the present moment. Qi Le has come out of confinement."
Under normal circumstances, with so many people carrying weapons, the other party would definitely send someone to investigate immediately, and Fangtang's purpose of coming here would become clear.
Wu Yue asked Sun Cheng to do his work while he stared at Fang Tang for the whole morning. Finally, he saw that he secretly pointed the device in his pocket at the surroundings. On the small screen like an MP3 player, wavy lines kept rolling.
Fang Tang himself didn't seem to understand. After clicking a few places, he gave up debugging and concentrated on scanning everyone around him.
Fortunately, the coverage of that thing was limited, and the sugar cube could not move around freely, so the fluctuations shown on it were not that large. During this period, he asked about Wu Yue's news several times, but was always pushed away by saying that he was busy.
This made Wu Yue even more certain that this person was coming for him.
Fang Tang stayed with Mo Tiantian for the whole morning. When leaving, he specially thanked Sun Cheng for his gift. Sun Cheng responded cheerfully and sent the two out of the yard.
Mo Tiantian, with a bulging belly from eating so much and two packed lunch boxes in her hands, did not forget to ask if she could come earlier tomorrow.
"Yes, we'll have meat buns tomorrow morning. If you come early, you can eat hot ones," Sun Cheng said, looking at Fang Tang, "Tangtang, come along if you have time. Uncle Pang used to be in the kitchen and his cooking is delicious."
"Okay, thank you Brother Sun."
Mo Tiantian waved at Sun Cheng in front, skipping as he walked away. Fang Tang took a few steps hesitantly, then suddenly turned back, "Brother Sun, did you go to the central area last night?"
"At night?" Sun Cheng looked puzzled and shook his head, "We walked for a whole day to get here, so we don't have the time to run around."
"Yes...someone attacked?" Sun Cheng said nervously, "Could they be suspecting us?"
Fang Tang shook his head and said, "Just asking casually."
He said see you tomorrow and followed Mo Tiantian.
Sun Cheng frowned and returned, immediately telling Wu Yue what he had just said.
"Do you think it could be someone from Panshui Base who ran over? Wouldn't they be trying to push the blame on us?" Sun Cheng frowned as he thought about the possible person, and saw Wu Yue raised his eyebrows but said nothing.
"Won't……"
"It's me," Wu Yue said frankly, "it turns out he came here to check this."
Since they had already come to investigate, it proved that the other party already suspected them. Fang Tang also gave that reminder at the end, which made people think too much.
"What do you think Qi Le will do?" Sun Cheng was thinking about the team's restored combat effectiveness, hoping that the bad things would come later.
"That depends on what he does next. If he remains silent..." Wu Yue seemed not to notice his anxiety, "then he is planning a big move."
Thinking of the instrument that Fangtang was carrying, Wu Yue let out a long breath and said slowly, "It seems that there is no SS-level psychic in their base."
Sun Cheng's heart skipped a beat and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.
But Wu Yue comforted him as if it didn't matter, "What are you afraid of?"
He spoke gently, with a desperate momentum, "Haven't we been prepared for this a long time ago?"
**
Wu Yue guessed that Qi Le might take action, but he didn't expect him to act so quickly.
Not long after Fang Tang left, a rumor spread that the reason why Lord Mountain God had been in seclusion was not only because he had enlightened too many people with special abilities, but also because there was a traitor in their base who had done something to harm Lord Mountain God.
Combined with what Fang Tang said before she left in the morning, Wu Yue immediately had a bad feeling. Before he could react, Shengli Village was surrounded, including people with special abilities and ordinary people who were filled with righteous indignation.
Everyone at the Yuebanwan base immediately became alert, but the other party's target was not them, but directly towards the home of the village chief Lao Zhangtou who was not far away.
Wu Yue asked Wang Bao to lead the rest of the people to pay attention, while he and Sun Cheng asked what happened and entered the crowd.
"I heard that they have a traitor in the Panshui base, who hides in our base and secretly hunts people with special abilities and eats their flesh and blood." The people with special abilities here are not very old. Although they are law enforcement officers, they still have the curiosity of children. They start gossiping as soon as they hear someone asking.
Wu Yue felt that there were still some issues with the people Qi Le chose to awaken. Looking at the more than 200 people with special abilities at this time, less than one-tenth of them were middle-aged men, and the rest were all minors. If the immature minds of these children were properly educated, they might be brainwashed into becoming his loyal supporters, but this would take a lot of time.
In today's world, who can guarantee that they will not be abducted and taken away while growing up?
"How come the traitor from Panshui Base is here?" Seeing the child off guard, Sun Cheng immediately asked curiously.
"Who knows?"
"Do you have evidence? Are you going to arrest someone?"
"I think so, otherwise he wouldn't have asked us all to come. He's just worried that he has accomplices."
"wheat--!"
An adult spoke up, interrupting the boy, glanced at Sun Cheng and Wu Yue warily, and turned his head away.
Sun Cheng looked at Wu Yue and got a signal from him to continue forward. The two of them squeezed their way to the center of the crowd and saw that the team leading the way was actually Fang Tang's team.
Fang Tang remained silent. Next to him stood four familiar children, some of whom had stern faces and pretended to be mature. The lively Li Jing moved her eyes mischievously when she met Sun Cheng's gaze. Sun Cheng smiled silently at her as a greeting.
Next to them, being forced to kneel on the ground were Cangcuo and Nan Xiaomo, who had negotiated conditions with them last night.
