"Three questions."
"Who are you? Where are you from? Why are you hiding in the bushes?"
The masked man raised three fingers and questioned another masked man in black who had just woken up from freezing.
This is an abandoned wooden house with a messy floor, weeds everywhere, and even half of the roof is broken, revealing a starless night sky.
Now the man in black who just woke up was a little nervous.
Because not only was he tied to the pillar of the wooden house, there was also a pool of water on the ground next to him, which was the trace left by the melted ice, and he could not use any strength at all.
He couldn't even break free from such a simple rope, which showed that he had no spiritual power left. Was his cultivation restricted?
But this wasn't the most stressful thing for him. What really made the masked man in black feel uneasy was this wooden house...
"We've already explored the area within a hundred miles. There's no such wooden house anywhere... How far have I walked?"
Thinking of the last moment of freezing, that sense of disappearing movement, the man in black was terrified. At the other party's speed, it might really be possible...
"Huh! It takes you so long to think about three questions?"
The other party seemed to be a little impatient. Before he could react to the situation, he started to urge him. Not only that, the ropes on his body became powerless and tightened automatically.
The pain in his body made him even breathless, so he subconsciously answered:
"I am Guan Ji, a disciple of Fuming Academy..."
As soon as he said that, the ropes stopped tightening, allowing him to finally catch his breath and cough.
“Cough… cough cough…”
The other party was not in a hurry and waited for the masked man in black named Guan Ji to adapt.
He certainly wasn't in a hurry because it was a good start.
That’s right!
The man who was also masked was Chu You, who had burst out with spiritual power and attacked instantly. His purpose was very simple, which was to get some useful information from Guan Ji.
If the person is dead, there is no point in finding any information.
But the other party was also cautious enough. After revealing his identity and name, he stopped talking and just looked at Chu You, as if to say:
I've already told you my name, so isn't it time for me to reciprocate by telling you who you are?
"Damn it! This is an interrogation, okay? Do you understand the situation?" This was just Chu You's inner complaint.
He put on a vicious look on his face, saying nothing, waiting for Guan Ji to continue. Although Chu You covered his face and couldn't see...
This is the attitude, the personality, how can he be said to be a mysterious master with great strength but unknown truth, except for the question, he will not say a word more, even if he only suspects that the other party thinks so.
Don't think that just because you have Fuming Academy as your backing, you can deter the scoundrels...
Guan Ji's answer was ambiguous. He said who he was and where he came from, but he didn't explain it clearly. He used Fuming Academy to test the mysterious man and see Chu You's reaction.
If it is just a self-reliant master, then he will definitely be afraid when he hears the name of the top ten colleges of the Federation. If it is a master with the same background, even if he has hostility in his heart, he will show some disdain... ridicule... ignore... and so on when he hears this.
But the mysterious masked master in front of him had no expression on his face. It was impossible to tell what he was thinking. I could only read his eyes, which seemed to say:
Please continue with your performance. Whether people listen to it or not is my business and it’s none of your business!
Because after Guan Ji revealed his identity, but nothing happened, the rope that had been loosened was tightened again, frightening Guan Ji to explain:
"I say, I say, Senior, please stop now. If you continue like this, someone will die."
I am the fish on the chopping board. No one in this world is a fool, but in the face of strength, any little tricks are in vain.
For example, even if Guan Ji raised the banner of Fuming Academy right now, they still wouldn't acknowledge him...
"I'm from Fuming Academy. I've already informed you, senior." Guan Ji carefully looked at the rope that had stopped moving and seemed to be dead. Just now, it was like a snake that almost strangled someone to death. I really don't know how the other party did it?
"This time, I accepted a mission from the academy, so I came to Shapan Island overseas..."
According to Guan Ji's description, Fuming Academy had issued a mission, a difficult one requiring the joint efforts of several people. Their mission was simple: to defend the island, each responsible for an area, and prevent anyone outside the academy from approaching...
Speaking of this, Chu You had an unexpected gain. He finally knew where he was.
Still among the overseas islands, in the Haizhou area of the 108th District of the Federation, there is a small island called Shapan Island!
In other words, he made a big circle in the space channel, but did not go very far. Not only did he not leave the earth, he did not even go half of the earth. It only led to the area near the sea.
Come to think of it, the passage was opened on the imprisoned Dead Leaf Island. Even if the will of the Earth allowed the use of the Void Space, it was limited. It was already very difficult to teleport to Area 108, which was adjacent to Area 44.
So the geographical location shouldn't be deceiving. As for the mission...
Yes!
Chu You had already seen that there was something wrong with Guan Ji's answer. He was lying, and he was very good at it. He mixed truth with lies, making it impossible to tell the difference.
For example, that sticking to the mission just now...
It might be true that Shapan Island was guarding against outsiders. After all, it was also the place where Kou Ying wanted to bring his clone Zeng Yun. If they were to carry out any secret operations, they would naturally need to guard against outsiders.
At the same time, there is a problem with the answer to the Guan Ji task.
Since they have the task of defending the island, there is naturally a clear division of labor. They are either responsible for a specific area or hand over to each other. The island is so big that if something happens, it is impossible for others not to feel it.
But Chu You knew clearly before that two people came to explore the exit of the passage, but they acted separately. Moreover, when he found Guan Ji, he cursed and complained about certain people.
But now he said he was solely responsible for this area.
So Guan Ji is lying!
"Humph, it seems you are very dishonest!"
The rope was tightened again, this was punishment.
"Senior... Senior... spare me... spare me! I have told you everything... even... the meeting point after completing the mission..." Guan Ji cried, seeming to be really afraid of the rope.
But Chu You ignored him and never believed him from the beginning. Especially after Guan Ji said that he was a disciple of Fuming Academy, this distrust reached its peak.
Others don’t know, but he, Chu You, knows. He found out after eavesdropping at Sangyu College that night.
Fuming Academy had already secretly defected to Youxu Academy and joined the emerging human camp, so Guan Ji's academy mission was untenable from the beginning.
Their academy is probably busy adjusting right now, so how could they have the time to issue overseas island missions? If there really were any, they would definitely be related to the emerging human race...
For example, Qin Yining!
…
Seeing that his pleading was useless, Guan Ji's originally frightened and helpless eyes suddenly became fierce, and even his tone changed:
"Heh~ You didn't even fall for this, you really have some skills."
He was so sarcastic and completely different from Guan Ji just now!
