Gu Yunzhen went into the mountains.
Only Gu Shiyi and Gu Yuan's five bodyguards accompanied them, while the others who were transferred were left behind to be blocked by Qin Yichen, who arranged for the necessary route to Omaro.
On the other side, Gong Wujue, wearing a raincoat, led his teammates through mountains and valleys, successfully entering the epicenter of the earthquake.
But it got dark.
"Captain, it's quite dangerous in the deep mountains at night. Let's find a place to spend the night," someone suggested.
"good."
Gong Wujue nodded with a cold expression.
Just as they were looking for a safe place to rest, they saw the body of a wanted criminal.
"vomit!"
Some people turned away and gagged upon seeing it.
After someone stepped forward to confirm, they said, "Captain, this man is called Pockmarked, one of Scarface's henchmen. Judging from his wounds, he was probably bitten by a wild beast. There's blood in front of him, so he probably bled to death after climbing here."
He pointed in a direction, and the group walked over. They saw crawling marks on the ground, and blood from the withered branches and fallen leaves seeped into the soil along with the rainwater.
"With only half a body left, why is he still crawling in this direction?"
"He didn't want to die; he wanted to find his companions to save him."
"That means they're in this area, or even here!"
What they guessed, Gong Wujue also thought of; he suddenly stood up and left.
"Captain, where are you going?"
"I'm going to take a look around the neighborhood. You don't need to come with me."
Gong Wujue didn't want to wait even a moment longer, let alone until dawn.
He knew that his junior sister was physically weak and unable to practice martial arts. Given the cruelty of that group and the harsh environment of the earthquake, if his junior sister became a hindrance, they would abandon her without hesitation or even kill her. Therefore, he could not wait and had to find her as quickly as possible!
Gong Wujue walked alone in the deep mountains.
While Gu Yunzhen and Gong Wujue were rescuing people in the deep mountains, a third group of twenty people also entered the mountains. Judging from their appearance and physique, they were clearly international mercenaries.
They are also looking for Shangguan Wu.
In the deep mountains, it gets dark early. Because of the earthquake, snakes, insects, and rodents have all come out. Their original homes are gone, and they need to find new ones.
If viewed from the air, the three groups of people would be seen to the east, west, and south of the epicenter of the earthquake.
The cave where Shangguan Wu was located was on the north side of the central area.
At this moment, Shangguan Wu finished reading the hypnotist's notes, turned off the flashlight, and fell into deep thought.
It is important to know that people with weak willpower, strong desires, or excessive defensiveness are particularly susceptible to being controlled by hypnotists.
Once controlled by a hypnotist, one will be completely unaware of death.
After returning to the hypnotist organization, the notebook's owner endured hardship and honed his skills, completing missions brilliantly time and time again. He refused any material rewards and instead entered the organization's library, reading through all the books related to hypnosis. Ultimately, he used his powerful hypnosis to kill the leader who had ordered the killing of his wife and children, as well as twelve hypnotists.
Shangguan Wu felt that his strength had far surpassed that of a hypnosis master, and he should be at the level of a hypnosis grandmaster.
Grandpa Hai, who taught her hypnosis, was a master hypnotherapist.
He once said that when she reached the master level, he would need her to do something.
She asked what it was about.
Grandpa Hai didn't say anything. He only told her not to tell anyone that she knew hypnotism.
But now, Shangguan Wu has a strong premonition that it must be related to this hypnotist's organization!
The notebook's owner said that almost all hypnotists in the world are members of this organization. So, what about Grandpa Hai? Is he one of them?
Absolutely!
At least he used to be, otherwise he wouldn't have lived in Hakugakure to escape the world.
Why does such an organization exist?
What do they want to do?
The notebook's owner also said that the organization's leader had stated that everyone in the world was a sleepwalker, someone who could be driven and controlled at will.
This statement reveals his extreme contempt for life.
His order to kill the notebook's owner's wife and children also demonstrates his extreme cruelty.
Such people and such an organization are rotten.
But this notebook was written in 2001, when hypnotists were already found in almost every industry. Now, twenty years later, there will only be more and more hypnotists, right?
However, so far, Shangguan Wu has never encountered another hypnotist.
However, she had encountered it in her previous life in 2025.
The other person tried to hypnotize her, but she hypnotized them instead. Unfortunately, she didn't get any information out of them before they committed suicide. Looking back now, they must have been under deep hypnosis, meaning someone had placed a restriction in their brain, so that if they were to be asked about a secret they couldn't reveal, they would choose to 'commit suicide'.
At the time, she was only focused on revenge and didn't pay any attention to this person.
Looking back now, the troubles she encountered later were not all caused by Quan Tianrui and Shangguan Xinyi; she had been targeted long before.
Shangguan Wu took a deep breath. The events of her past life were as if they had happened yesterday. Even if she didn't meet that hypnotist, she might encounter other hypnotists. Rather than being apprehensive, she might as well let things take their course...
Suddenly, there was a loud thud.
Little Black barked, "Woof!"
Shangguan Wu immediately turned on his flashlight and discovered that Xiao Hei had a wild pheasant lying on the ground.
At this moment, Scarface walked over and complained, "One chicken isn't even enough to fill a tooth gap, why didn't you bring in that wild goat?"
Shangguan Wu shone the flashlight on his face and said coolly, "You really want to eat wild goat?"
Scarface: "Nonsense! You have no idea how delicious that meat was. If you hadn't asked me to help you, I would have eaten that whole wild goat!"
Shangguan Wu: "Go out to eat."
Scarface: "...I don't know the way. How about this dog shows me the way?"
Shangguan Wu snorted coldly: "Xiao Hei isn't one of your subordinates. If you want to eat, go get it yourself."
After saying that, she took out a stun gun and pressed it onto the pheasant's carcass.
Because the current was too strong and the pheasant was too small, a burnt smell immediately filled the air.
Shangguan Wu was dumbfounded.
Little Black looked at the black blob on the ground and barked, "Woof!"
"Cough cough, the meat inside should be edible."
As Shangguan Wu spoke, he used a dagger to cut away the blackened chicken meat, leaving only about a third that was edible, but it still had a burnt taste and didn't taste good.
She wasn't picky about food last time; as long as it filled her stomach and kept her from going hungry, she could eat it.
One-third of the meat was then divided into two portions.
The big one was given to the small black one.
"Eat up, I'll take you out for something delicious later."
Shangguan Wu ate a small piece of chicken.
Scarface watched longingly from the side, then timidly asked, "Miss, where's my chicken?"
Shangguan Wu raised an eyebrow: "Isn't yours on your arm?"
Scarface didn't react for a moment, and said blankly, "I don't have any chicken on my arm!"
But soon, Scarface looked at the muscles on his arm, his face twitching, and said, "It's okay, I'm not hungry yet, you guys eat."
