The captains of Shannan City looked at each other in surprise. They even suspected that they had heard it wrong. However, the psychics in other cities were very calm. Did they know it a long time ago?
Looking at Chu Tiankuo's serious expression, they finally realized the seriousness of the matter.
"Chief, is this a rehearsal? Just let Brother Sheng play the villain himself. I'm afraid I'll burst out laughing. Haha... ha..."
Yu Yin laughed dryly twice, but found that everyone's expressions were very solemn. This atmosphere was not suitable for friendly communication.
"Chief, are you serious? Why would I betray the base?!"
Yu Yin tried violently to pull her arms free, but she found that her whole body was weak and was locked tightly.
"Yes, Chief, we can't betray the base. Xiaoyin and I almost died during a mission a while ago!"
Cold sweat broke out on You Yun's forehead. Being declared a rebel in front of so many people had already brought him to the brink of collapse.
"Why did the leader slander us?"
Xu Xiao didn't explain anything. Her expression was a little angry, but Chu Tiankuo's eyes were even angrier than hers. He snorted lightly, as if he saw through the disguises of several people.
"Slander? Do you think I would do something to slander you? If you confess now, I will punish you leniently. But if you continue to conceal it, your end will be painful."
The room went dark for a moment and then lit up again. Everyone looked around and found nothing unusual. Was it because of unstable voltage? All the rooms in the base were dependent on lighting when in use.
Han Yesheng, who had been a little panicked just now, met Chu Tiankuo's eyes at this time. Chu Tiankuo had an illusion that the other party didn't seem to be afraid at all.
"Oh? I wonder how the leader determined that we betrayed the base. I guess you already have enough evidence."
Han Yesheng did not dodge Chu Tiankuo's gaze at all, and Chu Tiankuo narrowed his eyes.
"Of course I have my own methods. I have checked all the special-level superpowers in Shannan City. You are the rebels I have selected."
"Chief, you are really good at talking. Why don't you tell me in detail how you investigated it?"
Chu Tiankuo frowned. He didn't expect Han Yesheng to say such a thing? Should he reveal his special ability?
"I didn't tell you that this rebel had no need, so stop quibbling."
"Since you don't want to talk about it, I can show everyone how you investigate. Lu Mingxuan, try to attack Chu Tiankuo gently. Don't be afraid with so many people watching."
"ah?"
Lu Mingxuan felt strange. Why did he have to do this? What was the point of attacking the leader lightly?
But Chu Tiankuo immediately realized what Han Yesheng was going to do, and his eyes widened.
"Rebel, it looks like you'll have to be tortured before you confess!"
"Lv Mingxuan, do as I say! I'll show you the truth!"
Han Yesheng sounded very confident when he said this, and everyone in the room was a little confused. What was the truth?
"Shut up! Xiaolan, freeze him now!"
After Chu Tiankuo gave the order, Xiao Lan raised his hand without any hesitation and prepared to release his supernatural powers, but he found that his supernatural powers seemed to be ineffective.
After several failed attempts, "Poof—"
Xiao Lan actually spat out a mouthful of blood and his face turned pale in an instant.
"Xiao Lan!"
Xiao Jin hurriedly helped him up, not understanding what was happening as the people on the opposite sides didn't move at all.
"You didn't complete Chu Tiankuo's order, and now you're suffering backlash. Lu Mingxuan, you can also try to hit Chu Tiankuo lightly, but you will find that you can't even make a move..."
“That’s enough!”
Chu Tiankuo looked very bad. He didn't expect that Han Yesheng had already noticed the effect of his supernatural power.
Lu Mingxuan was somewhat shocked. Han Yesheng's words contained a lot of information. Why would he be attacked if he failed to complete Chu Tiankuo's order? Why couldn't he attack Chu Tiankuo?
As if possessed by a ghost, Lu Mingxuan stood up and walked towards Chu Tiankuo.
"Lv Mingxuan, are you going to rebel?! Go back and sit down!"
There seemed to be an invisible force, and Lu Mingxuan almost subconsciously returned to his seat and sat down. Chu Tiankuo's order seemed impossible to disobey.
"Chief... Chief... What have you done to us..."
Lu Mingxuan's voice was trembling and his eyes looked very helpless.
The other captains became increasingly confused, not understanding what was happening.
"It's a contract. You have been completely controlled by Chu Tiankuo. You cannot attack him, and if you fail to complete his orders, you will suffer severe backlash."
Han Yesheng's eyes were full of disdain, but the captains of Shannan City felt a chill in their hearts. Although they had no intention of rebelling, who wanted to be a puppet controlled by others?
"You are a traitor! You are a traitor! Han Yesheng, you are a traitor!"
Chu Tiankuo raised his voice and even wanted to kill the other party directly, but he did not dare to gamble with the chance to save the world.
"Which of my statements is false?"
Han Yesheng spoke in a relaxed tone and seemed very frank.
"Since you have a chair that can completely restrain us, why do you want to invite the top fighters from so many cities? Do you want to collect more fresh puppets?"
Some captains had already begun to look at Chu Tiankuo warily; Han Yesheng's words forced them to consider their own safety.
If Chu Tiankuo really has this kind of means, and they are controlled by Chu Tiankuo, the city they are in will probably also gradually be controlled by Chu Tiankuo.
"Asshole, I invited these captains here only for the safety of Shannan City. You four rebels are very powerful. If there is any mistake, Shannan City will be in danger!"
"Really? Then, apart from the investigation methods you mentioned, what other evidence do you have that we are rebels? The four of us have made a lot of contributions to the base."
Chu Tiankuo has no other evidence, and the inability to sign a contract is the best proof.
Today's conversation made Chu Tiankuo even more certain that Han Yesheng must be a rebel. All of the other party's words were pointing the finger at him, and Han Yesheng was destroying the captains' trust in him.
Han Yesheng didn't understand what was happening outside in Ji Chuan's space, but he believed that the ancestor's action would calm everything down.
Ji Chuan disguised himself as Han Yesheng and continued to attack Chu Tiankuo. He had to admit that Chu Tiankuo was very perceptive, but he had fallen into the trap he set.
Han Yesheng and his companions did not betray the base. They just acted as their own believers and would not accept contracts from others.
Chu Tiankuo had no evidence to prove their betrayal. If this could not be proven, it would be a deliberate frame-up, and there would definitely be a conspiracy hidden in the frame-up.
"Speak up, Chu Tiankuo. Where is your evidence? Or will you label me a rebel if I don't become a puppet controlled by you?"
Chu Tiankuo's breathing was a little rapid. He met Han Yesheng's calm gaze, but found that he had never seen through the tomb robber in front of him.
