The Japanese side's trump card was the talisman that Jiang Qiao had suggested, and the person who drew the talisman was none other than Sato.
Having been imprisoned for years, he had neither tools nor materials. He wanted to quickly draw a talisman for himself, but unfortunately, he had nothing, so it was all in vain.
Now that he's finally out, he needs to quickly find a way to solve his health problems.
Speaking of which, this talisman-drawing technique was passed down from their Sato family ancestors. It is said that when their ancestor came here, he met someone, learned a few tricks from that person, and then went back and pondered on his own, creating this unique talisman.
What he didn't expect was that after so much research, the medicine made with this talisman would still have flaws.
He didn't dare use the first talisman himself, but gave it directly to someone who had taken the medicine. After the person drank the talisman water, there was indeed a reaction, but they looked to be in great pain.
Sato remained quite calm. "Don't worry, it's nothing. This is a detoxification process. Although it may be a bit painful, it's better than being weak, right? We've tested this before, so don't be afraid—"
It's not like we haven't tried it before, and the results have been the same, so Sato isn't really worried about it.
However, he overlooked one problem: so much time had passed, and the other person's body was on the verge of collapse. Even a normal person couldn't withstand the effects of his talisman, let alone someone like that.
So, to everyone's astonishment, the person rolling on the ground gradually fell silent, and his eyes widened in disbelief.
Someone went up and touched her, "Dead?"
Sato still didn't believe it. "How is this possible? We've tested this before, how could this happen?"
Not to mention him, even the people present looked at him with suspicion.
One of them rushed over and grabbed Sato by the collar, his expression very excited.
"You stood up for my brother, you old devil! How many of my brothers have died because of you bastards? We rescued you, and you repay kindness with enmity by harming my brother."
The other person stared coldly at Sato Keiichi. "Mr. Sato, I need you to give me a reasonable explanation."
The member of the Japanese organization standing next to Sato pulled out his weapon and said, "Everyone back off, or what I have here is no joke."
Sato Keiichi looked apologetically at the people opposite him. "I'm sorry, I... I didn't mean to hurt him. I didn't expect it to turn out this way. It wasn't like this during the previous experiments."
We just realized that after so many years, the effects would be completely different. We're truly sorry, but please believe me, even without this talisman, we can still use acupuncture and medication to regulate the body. I promise I will give everyone an explanation.”
The man snorted, "Explain? How are you going to explain? The person is already dead, what do you have to explain? We risked our lives to rescue you, only to come here and harm us?"
Just as tensions were running high, a sharp shout rang out: "Put down your weapons! What kind of time is this to start fighting amongst yourselves?"
"Don't you know the people outside are searching for us? And what do you do? Come here and start a fight! You've got guts! You can open fire right now and see which one of you can escape!"
Upon seeing the woman enter, everyone fell silent. The woman held a piece of paper in her hand: "My third uncle called, telling us to leave here immediately."
The others were dumbfounded. "Are you kidding me? They're searching everywhere."
The woman snorted, "That's how we get out of here. Follow my orders!"
"Commander, what are you commanding? You want us to charge out? Let me tell you, I'm not doing this anymore. If you want to charge, you can charge out yourselves. And let me tell you, there might be spies outside lurking in some corner waiting for us."
The woman scoffed, "Foolish! How could Third Uncle have a subordinate like you? Use your brain and think it through. Do you think I'd let you rush out like this? Come with me—"
The investigators on the second floor across the street saw the people inside trying to escape and quickly reported to Jiang Jinyu.
"Chief, it seems they've made a runaway; there seems to be a tunnel inside."
Jiang Jinyu on the other end of the phone hummed in agreement, then instructed, "Proceed according to the original plan."
"yes--"
Jiang Qiao was in a hurry to get back, so she took a shortcut. Who would have thought that she would run into trouble in such a short time? Just as she reached the corner, she saw the door of a house in front of her open, and a head was poking out, looking around.
Jiang Qiao had a gut feeling that this person was definitely suspicious. Before she could think any further, she rushed over. The man was about to close the door, but Jiang Qiao kicked it open.
The people standing in the courtyard tensed up as soon as they saw Jiang Qiao, especially their subconscious movements, which Jiang Qiao noticed at a glance. Since these people had something to do with each other, there was no need to hesitate.
The silver needles in her hand moved faster than her brain could process them. By the time the other party tried to pull out their "tools," it was too late. Jiang Qiao's needles had already pierced their pressure points, making it impossible to remove them.
As for the man who was peeking around, he was so frightened that he knelt down on the ground with a thud and said, "Comrade, I'm a good person, they're bad people, I'm not lying to you."
Jiang Qiao snorted and went over to tie the man up first. Since there were no tools, she used his own shoelaces.
Then they tied up the other two as well and confiscated their weapons.
"Alright, who can tell me what exactly happened?"
The man who was peeking out spoke first, "Let me speak first. I don't know either of them. I don't know how they ended up in my yard. They even threatened me, telling me to check if there were any People's Liberation Army soldiers outside. Comrade, I'm just a good person."
Jiang Qiao brandished her weapon at the two men, "You tell me, what's going on with you? Where did you come from?"
The man stared at Jiang Qiao for a long time, scrutinizing her closely. "You, you're Jiang Qiao?"
Jiang Qiao smiled and pursed her lips. "I didn't expect you to know me too. Since you know me, you must know what kind of person I am. Tell me the truth, or you'll be in for a world of trouble."
After confirming it was Jiang Qiao, the two men exchanged a glance, both seeing helplessness in each other's eyes. Why were they so unlucky to have come to this exit? If they had chosen another one, would they have avoided running into this woman?
Those two unfortunate brothers, who considered themselves unlucky, had nothing left to hide now.
“We climbed up from their well. There’s a secret passage in there. We don’t know him.”
Jiang Qiao sized up the two people and asked, "Who are you? Where are you from? Where are you going? Who were you with before?"
Having learned that these two people had previously been with Sato Keiichi, Jiang Qiao understood everything.
"Where's Sato? Where did he go?"
