Ma Xingbang was taken aback, clearly not expecting Fang Xiu to be such a hothead.
However, he reacted quickly and laughed, "I was being presumptuous. It's rare to meet a young talent who can foresee the future, and I can't help but be curious."
"By the way, Investigator Fang, I heard that you became a Spirit Master in the Ghost Realm of Qingshan Mental Hospital. As the person involved, you must be very familiar with that place. Would you mind telling me about it?"
Ma Xingbang smiled.
However, at that moment, Fang Xiu suddenly found that another voice from Ma Xingbang rang in his mind, as if it were a secret transmission.
His tone was no longer friendly, but unusually cold: "Fang Xiu, I already know your secret. If you don't want it to be exposed..."
"What secrets of mine do you know?" Fang Xiu asked Ma Xingbang bluntly.
Everyone was stunned for a moment.
What's going on here? Nobody knew that Fang Xiu was talking to Ma Xingbang, so his words seemed a bit nonsensical.
Ma Xingbang was stunned on the spot, and his kind smile froze.
"You...you..."
He stammered for a moment. Is this the kind of reaction a normal person should have?
Your secret has been discovered, and you just ask me about it in front of so many people?! Aren't you afraid of being exposed?
You asked so openly, how the hell am I supposed to threaten you with a secret now?!
After a moment, Ma Xingbang composed himself and continued with a smile, "Investigator Fang, I'm sorry, I didn't quite understand what you were saying."
At the same time, a chilling voice echoed in Fang Xiu's mind once again.
"Kid, don't be so arrogant. Believe me or not, I'll expose your secret right now!"
“The threat of the weak is always laughable,” Fang Xiu said calmly.
Ma Xingbang's smile slowly faded, and he stared intently at Fang Xiu.
At this point, everyone gradually realized that something was wrong.
No one present was a fool; they clearly realized that Ma Xingbang had communicated with Fang Xiu in a covert manner and had even threatened him.
"Good, very good. I never imagined that in my lifetime I would be called a weakling by a second-tier Spirit Master." Ma Xingbang seemed to have completely dropped his pretense, and said to Wang Dehai in a gloomy tone:
"Director Wang, what if spies from other forces have infiltrated the Investigation Bureau?"
Wang Dehai was immediately startled. He quickly realized what was happening and said in a deep voice, "Advisor Ma, do you mean that Fang Xiu is a spy?"
Ma Xingbang gave a sinister smile: "Not bad."
"Impossible! Fang Xiu is a hero of the entire Green Vine City. Consultant Ma, even if you were sent by headquarters, you cannot slander a hero without evidence." Wang Dehai was both shocked and furious.
He realized he had been naive; he had been fooled by Ma Xingbang's appearance and believed that the other party was a normal person.
Haha, that's a joke. Are there any normal people among spirit masters?
Yang Mingbai's expression also began to darken. They were well aware of Fang Xiu's achievements; how could such a meritorious official be a spy?
Faced with the angry stares of the crowd, Ma Xingbang was also slightly angry. He originally wanted to test Fang Xiu first, arrange to meet him that night, set a trap, and force Fang Xiu to submit.
Who would have thought that this kid, as a spy, would be so arrogant, directly confronting him and completely disrupting his plans.
However, he was not flustered. Since he dared to say it, he was not afraid of the other party's sophistry.
Ma Xingbang sneered, "There is evidence, of course. The Ace of Spades in the Poker Organization once blocked Green Vine City to help Nightmare evolve, while the King of Spades blocked the headquarters' aid personnel. All signs indicate that Nightmare and Green Mountain Mental Hospital have a deep connection with the Poker Organization."
"What does this have to do with Fang Xiu? If you suspect he's part of the poker organization, you need to provide concrete evidence," Yang Ming retorted, frowning.
"Since you want evidence, I will list it for you one by one. Evidence one: Qingshan Mental Hospital was able to release an S-level monster like Nightmare. I don't need to say more about how dangerous it is. Even a third-level Spirit Master might not be able to come out alive after going in. But Fang Xiu, who was an ordinary person at the time, came out alive."
"Tch, do you think I have any evidence?" Yang Ming said with a disdainful look. "Others can't possibly come out alive, but Fang Xiu can foresee the future and know the way out in advance. Coming out alive is a piece of cake for him."
Ma Xingbang sneered again: "What if the prediction of the future is false?"
Everyone was slightly taken aback. Was it fake?
"Hahaha..." Yang Ming laughed loudly, "Do you want to hear what you're saying? Fang Xiu's ability to foresee the future is something we all witnessed. Without his foreseeing the future, the entire Green Vine City might have been destroyed by Nightmare. How can you question that?"
Everyone cast distrustful glances at Ma Xingbang, thinking he was talking nonsense.
Because Fang Xiu has already proven countless times that he can predict the future, now some people say that he cannot predict the future?
Then explain how he was able to predict the future multiple times.
Faced with everyone's doubts, Ma Xingbang remained calm: "The reason I dare to say that his prediction of the future is false is because I have irrefutable evidence. Fang Xiu, if I'm not mistaken, your ability is to hurt others and make them feel pain?"
Upon hearing this, the entire room fell silent for a second.
A second later, Yang Ming's loud laughter broke the silence in the room.
"Hahaha... Consultant Ma, you're really something, I'm impressed. Are all the people from headquarters this humorous? Even if you want to frame Fang Xiu, you should at least make it believable. Hurting someone should make them feel pain."
Hahaha... What kind of ridiculous ability is this? It's completely pointless. If there were a ranking of Spirit Masters' abilities, this ridiculous ability would definitely be ranked last. How could you even come up with that? According to you, everyone is a Spirit Master because everyone has the ability to hurt others and make them feel pain.
Even a three-year-old child can cause pain if they bite someone.
Fang Xiu: "......"
He felt offended.
(More to come later)
