When Liu He heard Song Qi's threat and imagined the tragic situation of her face being covered with knife scars and unable to get treatment, she couldn't help but feel fear and her psychological defenses collapsed instantly.
She begged for mercy quickly: "No, don't do this, please, I'm willing to tell you anything and I will fully cooperate. Can you give me the medicine to treat the wound now?"
Her voice trembled as she continued, "I don't want to be ugly."
Song Qi smiled proudly, slowly put away the knife in his hand, and looked at Liu He's reaction with satisfaction.
"As long as you answer our questions truthfully and behave well, I will naturally give you the medicine."
Jiao Peng secretly gave Song Qi a thumbs up, and then began to interrogate Liu He.
It turns out that Liu He's mother is from the Sun Country. After she grew up, she was led by her mother to help the Moon Worship Cult deliver messages.
Once she reached adulthood, she began to complete the mission on her own.
When she was twenty years old, she gave birth to a son, and her child was taken away by the leader, who would only allow the mother and son to see each other once a year.
She was then sent to live in this city.
She didn't receive any assignments in the first ten years.
She used the metaphysical knowledge she learned in the Moon Worship Cult to tell fortunes for others to make a living.
Five years ago, her superiors instructed her to start collecting information on wealthy and powerful people.
The information she gathers will be passed on through her superiors.
Her superiors would instruct her to take action depending on the situation, either by secretly placing items such as wooden plaques or talismans in the homes of these powerful people.
Or they could try to make acquaintance with these people and use divination to guide them to specific places or perform specific tasks.
The fate of these people changed as a result. Some continued to get promoted and become rich, while others quickly became ill and died.
However, Liu He didn't care about it at all.
She only needs to complete the tasks assigned by her superiors to obtain the beauty pills provided by the organization, which is enough to meet her needs.
The map found in Liu He's home was drawn a year ago when Liu He was delivering poison according to the instructions of his superiors.
It was only a year ago that she learned that the Moon Worship Cult had a base for refining poison in the mountains behind the temple.
At first, Liu He was only responsible for the poison delivery tasks of the two bases, but later for some reason, her superiors changed, and from then on all the poison delivery work was undertaken by her alone.
Over the past year or so, she has traveled to seven or eight locations across the country to deliver poison.
These locations are widely distributed, including various places such as bookstores and tailor shops.
Every time Liu He went there, she would meet according to the secret code agreed upon in advance.
After they exchanged the secret code, she gave the poison to the other person.
However, Liu He was not clear about the specific uses of these poisons.
At the same time, her superiors also asked her to bring some Buddhist beads to the temple for Huiwu.
Huiwu used his identity to distribute the Buddhist beads.
After listening to Liu He's narration, Jiao Peng immediately called Niu Bo, reported in detail what Liu He had said, and asked him to continue investigating other strongholds.
After careful consideration, Niu Bo finally approved Jiao Peng's application.
Due to limited manpower and the fact that these strongholds were far apart from each other, everyone had to act separately.
The members of Operation Zero were divided into two groups to carry out their respective missions.
Jiao Peng led a team of three people and was responsible for one of the strongholds.
Song Qi led another team of four to take charge of another stronghold.
As for other strongholds, Niu Bo will arrange for members of other groups to go there.
After Su Muxi discussed with the four family heads, they also decided to act separately.
Su Muxi, Xu Mingyang and the head of the Shi family chose to follow Song Qi.
The heads of the Lin and Bai families joined Jiao Peng's team.
This way, they will have a higher chance of success when searching for their family members.
Taking advantage of the afternoon break, Su Muxi quickly drew a large amount of talisman paper to replenish the reserves consumed previously.
The others also took advantage of the time to practice or draw talismans.
After a whole day of rest, everyone set off for their respective destinations early the next morning.
Jiao Peng specially assigned Song Qi a city called Tianling, which is closer to Beijing.
It only took them half a day to reach their destination.
Since they were not very familiar with the situation inside the stronghold, they decided to park the vehicle properly, observe the surrounding environment first, and then determine the next plan of action.
So they divided the personnel into two groups.
One of the groups consists of Song Qi, Su Muxi and Xu Mingyang.
Because this base is a restaurant, they pretend to be a family going to the restaurant for dinner to observe the situation inside.
The other group consisted of the head of the Shi family and three other members of the action team.
They are responsible for hiding and observing on the periphery.
After the distribution was completed, Su Muxi and the other two walked towards the restaurant at a leisurely pace.
Along the way, the three of them chatted as they walked, and the atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant.
Song Qi looked at the bustling crowds on the street and couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect it to be so lively here, not inferior to Beijing at all!"
Before Su Muxi and Xu Mingyang could respond, a man passing by suddenly interrupted and said, "Hey guys, is this your first time in Tianling City?"
Song Qi immediately became alert and stared at him cautiously, but did not say a word.
The man smiled friendly and said, "Don't be so nervous. I'm just asking casually."
But in the eyes of Su Muxi and the others, no matter how they looked at the man's smile, they felt that he had bad intentions.
Song Qi didn't want to cause any more trouble, so he pulled Su Muxi forward and said, "Let's go quickly. We still have things to deal with later."
Seeing this, the man's eyes flashed with a shrewd light and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
He stuck closely to the three people like a sticky plaster, and as he walked, he enthusiastically introduced himself: "Hey! My name is Jiang Lang, and I'm a native of Tianling City. What are your names?"
Seeing that the three ignored him, Jiang Lang did not give up. Instead, he continued to follow them with an even more shameless smile and said, "Are you here for tourism or just passing through?"
"I'm very familiar with Tianling City. I know exactly where the delicious food and fun things are."
Jiang Lang walked up to Xu Mingyang, grinning widely and revealing his white teeth. He said, "Brother, our meeting is fate. How about this? I'll treat you to a meal of our unique local delicacies and then tell you about our local customs and practices."
Hearing this, Xu Mingyang couldn't help but frown, with obvious impatience on his face.
