Chapter 217 Different Styles
"Tsk tsk." Qiao Yu smacked his lips, a helpless expression on his face. "Do you have to suffer a little before you tell the truth?"
Jiang Zhan did not attack Cao Yabagen's hand considering that he still needed to write, but he was merciless in injuring the wound on his leg.
Qiao Yu watched quietly for a while, and when the painful expression on Cao Yaba's face temporarily eased, he said quietly, "Can you tell the truth now?"
"Let me remind you, if you lie again, it won't be just two simple cuts." Qiao Yu tilted his head. "Besides, you don't think we know nothing and ask you here, do you?"
When Cao Yanba heard this, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.
Since they knew, why did these people ask him?
Are you not sure if the information you received before is correct and want to confirm it?
Cao Yanba gritted his teeth, endured the pain, lay on the notebook, and wrote another paragraph.
His hands were shaking badly, but there was nothing he could do.
After two attempts, he had clearly realized that these people were not easy to deal with.
He was now trapped in the dungeon, the door above locked, and he couldn't make a sound. No one could help him, no matter how hard he tried.
It seemed that he really had no other choice but to answer their questions.
Cao Yanba held up the written text and faced Qiao Yu.
——"The powder attached to the white paper is the base medicine. It has no effect. It will have no effect on people after using it."
Base medicine.
Qiao Yu raised an eyebrow. This seemed to be the truth.
They had just heard this word from Chen Wanning.
Moreover, when they were in Mingxia Mountain before, the mercenaries of the 331st Legion did appear to be very normal.
The most important thing is... Jiang Zhan did not make trouble this time.
So Qiao Yu nodded with satisfaction and said, "Continue."
Cao Yanba felt a chill in his heart when he saw this.
What he wrote this time was indeed the truth. He wanted to test it one last time.
If Qiao Yu still believed that he was lying, then it meant that they had just been deceiving him. They had no answers to all the questions they were asking, and they were just trying to trick him into telling the truth. In this way, he could find a way to mix truth and falsehood in his answers to deceive him.
But unexpectedly... Qiao Yu immediately became certain that he was telling the truth this time.
—I didn't lie to him. They really knew...
Cao Yaba's heart sank, but he didn't dare to lie anymore. He lowered his head and began to confess resignedly.
"These medicines all have names. The one with the green paper is called 'Soul Loss.' When used on someone who's already taken the base drug, they'll instantly lose consciousness and enter a state like the walking corpse. The one with the blue paper is called 'Soul Capture.' When used with the base drug, it will make the person lucid, but without self-awareness, only aware of what the owner tells them to do. And the one with the red paper is called 'Angry God.' If used with the base drug, it will cause a sudden surge in strength and cause them to fall into a rage."
Qiao Yu looked at what Cao Yanba had written and rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "Losing consciousness is understandable, but being obedient...how can one be obedient? Since those drugged have no self-awareness, how can they identify their master?"
Upon hearing this, Cao Yanba lowered his head and wrote a few strokes.
— “They can tell the taste of human blood.”
"You mean, I can mix the blood of whoever I want them to obey with the medicine and feed it to the slaves?"
Cao Yanba nodded silently.
Qiao Yu frowned. "Then when someone who has taken the Wrath God falls into rage, what medicine can be used to prevent their indiscriminate attacks?"
Cao Yaba was stunned, as if he didn't expect that they even knew this.
But he quickly lowered his head and wrote: "There are two situations with this medicine."
"One scenario is that the slave has previously consumed the master's blood and 'Soul Harvest,' in which case he will automatically avoid his master during attacks. The other scenario is that the slave has never consumed 'Soul Harvest,' in which case the person controlling him will need to wear a powder bag containing a mixture of 'Soul Loss' and 'Soul Harvest' in a 2:1 ratio."
Qiao Yu suddenly realized, "So that means that smell will affect those who are hit by the 'God of Fury' and make them automatically avoid it?"
Cao Yanba nodded again.
Qiao Yu waited for a while, and seeing that Jiang Zhan didn't make any more moves, he knew that he was indeed not lying.
So Qiao Yu pursed his lips and asked again: "Where did you get these medicines?"
This time, Cao Yanba did not rush to write. He tightened his grip on the pen slightly, seeming a little scared and embarrassed.
But before he could struggle for a few seconds, he felt severe pain in his legs again.
——Jiang Zhan stabbed him twice more with the wind blade.
Blood spurted out again. Cao Yanba covered the wound with his hands, which were covered with bright red blood.
He didn't dare hesitate any longer and immediately wrote down the answer with trembling hands.
——"I don't know his name or where he came from. I only know that he seems to be from City B because he speaks with a bit of a City B accent."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Yu concluded almost instantly that the person who provided the medicine to Cao Yanba must be Lu Zixian.
So, Cao Yaba is the source of evil in the entire slave market!
He is the one who has been selling these drugs to the outside world!
But...why didn't Cao Yaba know Lu Zixian's identity?
Chen Wanning and Qi Yong both knew about this, so why was Cao Yanba, who had direct dealings with Lu Zixian, completely unaware of it?
"How do you do your business?" Qiao Yu's voice was slightly cold.
Cao Yaba was afraid that if he hesitated any longer he would be stabbed twice more, so he quickly lowered his head and wrote.
——"We will meet at the Municipal Hospital in City A on the 20th of every month."
Qiao Yu frowned when he heard this.
It’s the municipal hospital in City A again.
When interrogating Meng Chao before, he mentioned that the meeting place between Lu Zixian and Qi Yong was also the Municipal Hospital in City A.
"How many crystal cores do you need to pay him for these medicines?"
Cao Yaba shook his head when he heard this, then he lay down and wrote: "No need for crystal cores. Just exchange with people."
Using people for exchange? Qiao Yu suddenly realized.
Lu Zixian provided drugs, allowing Cao Yanba to make money while abducting more people for human experiments...
This method is very similar to Han Ming's style...
"Have you seen anyone else around that person?"
Cao Yanba shook his head again and wrote, "He always comes alone. And I've never seen what he looks like. He always wears a mask."
Huh? Qiao Yu frowned.
This mute Cao not only doesn't know his name or origin, but he has never even seen what he looks like?
Why did she feel... that the way Lu Zixian treated Qi Yong was completely different?
