Han Yesheng noticed something strange about the base today. There were many more guards on duty than usual, and they were fully armed, as if there were intruders in the base.
With Mengli's reminder, Han Yesheng became alert. He didn't understand why there were so many people who were malicious towards him.
They were led to a seldom-used conference room that was large and somewhat depressing-looking.
The chair looks very high-tech and heavy, like a high-end massage chair. I don’t know what kind of mechanism is inside.
The walls are also a bit depressing, and there are many gaps in the ceiling that seem to be movable.
The conference room was already full of people, many of whom were members of combat teams from other cities that Han Yesheng had never seen before. They had different expressions, but Han Yesheng felt a strong sense of oppression.
Mengli said that all those unfamiliar faces were malicious towards him.
I don’t know if it was a coincidence, but the seat reserved for him was on the left of Xu Xiao, and next to him were Yu Yin and You Yun. Lu Mingxuan, An Jing, and An Yan, who entered with him, were arranged to sit opposite him.
Han Yesheng actually felt that Chu Tiankuo was looking at the four of them with a scrutinizing gaze.
"This person also has great ill will towards you."
Han Yesheng almost lost control of his expression when he heard Mengli's words. He finally figured out something.
If those strangers had ill intentions towards him, he could also use the fact that other city captains would be wary of powerful people to paralyze himself.
But if all the leaders have ill intentions towards him, then these captains are likely to be deliberately arranged by Chu Tiankuo to target him.
Why? What did I do wrong? Is it because I don't do many tomb raiding missions? Or is it illegal to take out the artifacts I like from the ancient tomb? It's the end of the world, right?
"Yesheng, please take a seat. We have invited captains from so many cities today. Let's communicate with each other."
Chu Tiankuo urged him, but Han Yesheng knew that he could not sit on that chair. There were some reception rooms equipped with weapons in Shannan City, which were used to deter threatening people, and this room was very much like that type of reception room.
"Chief, I couldn't help but go to the ancient tomb again today. I didn't expect it to be so cold and damp inside. My hemorrhoids are acting up and I can't sit down. I want to go back to my room to get a cushion."
Han Yesheng touched the back of his head awkwardly and smiled. The safest thing for him at the moment was to find an excuse to get out of this situation.
Even if I can't get away, I have to stand aside, sitting on this useless chair facing a room full of people who are malicious towards me. It's too dangerous.
Mengli reminded him that the malice of the people around him continued to rise, and it was obvious that Han Yesheng's lame excuse had made others alert.
However, Xu Xiao, Yu Yin and You Yun did not understand the seriousness of the matter. Yu Yin couldn't help laughing when she heard Han Yesheng's words.
"Yesheng, take a seat quickly, don't keep so many captains waiting for you."
Chu Tiankuo's tone was already threatening, and Han Yesheng's thoughts were working quickly.
"Old Ancestor, I seem to be in some trouble. The leader has called a room full of captains from other cities, and they all have ill intentions towards me."
"Okay, I'll be by your side to protect you."
After hearing Ji Chuan's answer, Han Yesheng finally breathed a sigh of relief. He pretended to be in pain and frowned as he sat down.
Seeing Han Yesheng sitting down, Chu Tiankuo straightened his body, made eye contact with the person on the other side, and nodded slightly.
Then Chu Tiankuo smiled and seemed to be about to announce something interesting.
“Today, we are honored to have invited captains from so many cities to Shannan City for exchanges. Before we get into the main topic of today’s meeting, please put your hands on the armrests of your chairs so that everyone can experience the research results of Shannan City first.”
Han Yesheng sighed. Even though he knew that this action would put him in danger, he still did it because he believed in the strength of his ancestor.
Not surprisingly, the armrests of Han Yesheng, Xu Xiao, Yu Yin, and You Yun bound their hands to the seats, while the seats held their hands and torsos.
Something pierced their skin at the wrist lock position, and an unknown liquid was injected into their bodies. The four of them suddenly felt weak, as if their energy was blocked.
“How amazing…”
Yu Yin sighed, but she didn't realize that there were only four of them in this state, and the chairs of the others didn't react at all.
The captains' eyes were all on the four men, as if they were looking at prey caught in a trap.
Xu Xiao frowned. She had already noticed the abnormality. As she tried to break free with her arms, it didn't work except for the pain in her wrist.
Chu Tiankuo's smiling expression turned cold. Through his investigation of people with special abilities over the past few days, he found that only these four people in Shannan City had abnormal conditions.
Two of them can even light up the oracle star disk. Their strength is very strong. Even if we communicate with other captains of Shannan City in advance, there is no chance of suppressing them.
So Chu Tiankuo contacted several leaders he trusted and asked them to borrow some very powerful psychics.
There are three reasons for doing this.
First, Han Yesheng and his companions might not be able to sit on the torture chair smoothly, nor might they cooperate with the restraints of the torture chair. If they discovered something in advance, they would need enough powerful psychics to suppress it.
Second, since the Oracle Star Plate is the key to saving the world, he needs to light up the star plate quickly so that he can invite some experts to come and test the star plate at the same time.
Third, Chu Tiankuo also used this incident to remind other bases that the ambitions of too many people in the end times would put the superpower base in danger. If the base gradually began to fall, they would fight alone without reinforcements.
Fortunately, the plan went smoothly. With the restraints of the torture chair, there should be no casualties, and all we need to do is conduct the interrogation.
Han Yesheng quickly observed the situation around him and found that the malice was not only directed at him today. Xu Xiao, Yu Yin, and You Yun were also tied up. What did these four people have in common?
"We have asked everyone to come to Shannan City today. I believe your leader has already informed us of the purpose of this trip. You are all elites in your respective cities and the most trusted people of each leader. I believe you can definitely help Shannan City handle today's affairs."
Only the captains of Shannan City were confused; they had no idea what Chu Tiankuo was referring to.
Although Chu Tiankuo has confirmed that they are all loyal to the base, the captains seem to have a good personal relationship with each other, and he is worried that those captains will reveal the plan to these people.
He did not tell anyone else in Shannan City about his plan. He knew that he had to win this battle in one go, otherwise it would be difficult to eradicate the rebels and the forces behind them.
The ceiling of the room made mechanical sounds, and all the gaps opened up. Countless mechanical arms with weapons stretched out, all pointing towards Han Yesheng and the others.
"Let's get to today's topic. Han Yesheng, Xu Xiao, Yu Yin, You Yun, when did you betray the base, and what organization do you serve?"
