The masked man's expression was extremely ugly, even the mask had changed color, which showed how angry he was at the moment!
"Come here, gather everyone in the hall immediately. We need to catch the traitor and cut him into pieces in front of everyone!"
"yes!"
The subordinate agreed and ran out quickly.
Half an hour later, all 1,000 people showed up, making the huge underground space seem very crowded.
The masked man stood in the front, his cold gaze burning everyone, especially the man standing in the front who was wearing the same mask but with fewer patterns.
These are his backbone members. Only these few people know the detailed plan of this operation, and they are the only ones most likely to leak the information.
Although other small bosses are possible, they are not highly suspected.
"Sir, what's the matter with calling us together?" asked a key member.
"Yes, our operation this time has been completely leaked, so we failed!" said the masked man coldly.
"How is that possible? This matter is strictly confidential and there is no way it can be leaked. Is there something wrong?"
"There is absolutely no mistake. I just received news that the nuclear beasts responsible for the attack on Chang'an have been completely wiped out, and it was the insect swarm that did it!"
"This proves that they got the news in advance, otherwise it would be impossible to wipe out all the nuclear beasts."
"How could this be..."
There was an uproar among the people present.
"So, there must be a traitor among us who told Zhao Lin the news, which is why the operation failed!"
"What? There's a traitor!"
The uproar grew louder, and everyone turned their eyes to others.
"We must find out this traitor today, otherwise we will all be killed by him." The masked man said coldly.
"But how do we check so many people?" asked a key member.
"Of course I'll check them one by one, starting with you guys!"
"Well... do you suspect there is a traitor among us?"
"You are the most suspicious. After all, only you and I know the detailed plan, so we must start with you."
"But how do we check it?"
"If we use conventional means, the speed will be too slow. We will be wiped out before we finish the investigation. We must use unconventional means!"
"Where's the mind reader? Stand up!"
Soon, four or five people stood up. They were all telepaths who could read the target's memory and use this method to determine whether the target had ever betrayed the organization.
"This is a good idea. Let's start with me!" A key member stood up, looking eager to prove his safety.
"Okay, let's start with you!"
Several telepaths came forward, placed their hands on Backbone's head, and began to read his memory.
Soon the five people finished, then looked at each other at the same time and told each other all the memories they had seen, without any discrepancies.
"You can be ruled out as a suspect now. Next is the second one..."
The second backbone is also fine, followed by the third and fourth.
After all the backbones finished the mind reading, it turned out that no one had any questions.
The masked man thought that it seemed that the news was leaked from somewhere else, which proved that some of these 1,000 people accidentally heard about the plan and then passed the news on.
"Keep reading my mind!"
Then the small leaders began to line up to read minds, but they found no betrayal.
"Could it be that only ordinary members did it?" The masked man had to doubt his own judgment. If there was nothing wrong with these big backbones and small leaders, then how did the news spread?
Next came the ordinary members, who began to read one after another.
After working all day, I finally came to the conclusion that everyone was fine and had no memory of betraying the organization.
The masked man fell into deep thought. There were only two possibilities now. One was that the other party's memory had been erased, and the other was that there was no traitor at all.
But how did the news get out?
The whole thing suddenly came to a dead end, and the masked man had no idea what to do.
"Sir, what should we do now? The brothers are all innocent, what went wrong?"
The masked man said in a deep voice, "If the brothers are all fine, then this matter is even more terrifying. I really don't know how Zhao Lin got the news. Is there an invisible bug around us that is constantly spying on us?!"
He knew that Zhao Lin had a lot of reconnaissance bugs.
Not only are these insects small, like ants, but they are also invisible and cannot be seen by the naked eye.
"Sir, I just received a message from Lord Black Robe, asking why there is no movement here. What should we do in response?"
"What?!"
