Chapter 1388 - 635: The Truth Revealed (Part 3)

Cui Tiq was noncommittal: "Hundred Demons Workshop, with a name like that, they must be very close to the Devil, perhaps as close as a servant is to a master."

Li Banfeng stood up to leave, but Cui Tiq asked him to wait a moment.

He prepared a vial of potion, corked it, and handed it to Li Banfeng: "I have a collaborator with the surname Du, who may also be very close to the Devil recently. This potion is a lifeline for him, but a deadly poison for others.

Take this potion; I believe my collaborator will listen to you."

Was he talking about Du Wenming?

When did Du Wenming ever collaborate with Cui Tiq?

Li Banfeng accepted the potion: "Are you planning not to cooperate with him anymore?"

Cui Tiq shook his head: "If he becomes a servant of the Devil, my collaboration with him should end,

and even if we successfully cooperate, the value of the collaboration itself cannot compare to the friendship between us."

Cui Tiq picked up a spray bottle and watered the small flowers in the can.

Li Banfeng took the test tube and left Rongku Mountain.

On the way, Li Banfeng called Luo Zhengnan, asking him to immediately inform Liao Zihui that the Hundred Demons Workshop is an organization sent by the Neizhou Faction that recently instigated a war in Amikan Country, and that Shen Jingye must handle it carefully.

Luo Zhengnan went to the Defense Agency and conveyed the message to Liao Zihui, who immediately sent someone to relay the message to Shen Jingye.

Shen Jingye replied on the spot: "Please tell Director Li that I will pass on the relevant information to my superiors. I have already made arrangements for the next steps, so please assure Director Li..."

At this moment, Li Banfeng was rushing towards Iron Gate Fort.

Shen Jingye's deployment was indeed appropriate, but Li Banfeng was not at ease.

Different regions of the Hundred Demons Workshop may have different characteristics, but an organization that could cause trouble for the Amikan Country certainly can't be handled by the Dark Star Bureau alone.

Let alone with Du Wenming involved.

This bird person, he is too familiar with the Dark Star Bureau.

...

Du Wenming danced his way into Drum Garden Farm.

Li Banfeng's concern was not misplaced; Du Wenming was too familiar with the Dark Star Bureau, knowledgeable about their patrol habits, their shift-change times, and even the visual blind spots during drone patrols, all of which he understood crystal clear.

Near the dungeon, Du Wenming walked around the Boundary, soon sensing a crack near it.

This crack was the natural entry point of a wormhole; the electromagnetic cannon made by Yu Yaoming could automatically lock onto the wormhole's exit and entrance and could tear the entry and exit to a degree that would allow humans to pass through.

Du Wenming could sense the entrance's location; he could even directly use dance steps to squeeze into the narrow entrance, but the crucial problem was whether he could get out.

The exit is much harder to find than the entrance, and before entering a wormhole, Du Wenming always prepared himself mentally that he might be trapped inside for a lifetime.

Now, he had to take a gamble; gritting his teeth, Du Wenming entered the wormhole, ran in the fixed direction to the other side, and within less than twenty minutes, he found the exit.

With a sigh of relief, Du Wenming crawled out of the wormhole, arriving beside the dungeon.

Things were easier from here.

A suspect named Lei Yuze was sitting in the cell, staring blankly.

He was very scared and didn't know what crime he had committed. After much toil, he had finally become a full member of the Hundred Demons Workshop; he had not even learned a real spell yet, and now he was locked in such a place.

In his frustration, he suddenly noticed there was one more person in the cell, looking at him with a blank expression.

Lei Yuze glanced towards the door, and at that moment, he felt the urge to call out.

Du Wenming gestured for Lei Yuze to remain calm, he entered the cell and whispered: "I'm sent by the sect to rescue you; Master Pei asked me to ask if you have completed the task given to you by the sect?"

"Completed!" Lei Yuze replied without thinking.

In fact, he didn't understand Du Wenming's words, and the Hundred Demons Workshop had also not assigned a special task to Lei Yuze since he had just become a full member.

But if he didn't answer according to this person's line of thinking, the other might not save him.

Du Wenming asked again: "What is the task the sect assigned to you?"

Lei Yuze thought for a moment and replied: "The Sect Leader ordered not to disclose the content of the task to anyone."

Du Wenming's face darkened: "If you can't tell the content of the task, I won't take you out."

Lei Yuze didn't yield: "I can't go against the Sect Leader's order!"

Du Wenming slightly frowned: "Then you'll have to suffer a bit."

Lei Yuze, aware of the impending trouble, wanted to call for help but couldn't make a sound.

Du Wenming twisted his right ankle clockwise, and Lei Yuze's ankle twisted in response, his toes turned directly to the back, in extreme pain, tears rolled from Lei Yuze's eyes.

Du Wenming paused, realizing that a key member of the Hundred Demons Workshop shouldn't be so fragile.

He twisted the left ankle again, Lei Yuze's left foot turned once again, and he nearly fainted from the pain.

After some interrogation, Lei Yuze confessed: "The Sect Leader didn't assign me a task; I only became a full member last month."

"Last month..." Du Wenming was stunned for a long while, his neck slightly twisted, and Lei Yuze's neck turned all the way around, spine snapping, Lei Yuze died instantly.

This person wasn't a key member.

What about the others?

Du Wenming entered several rooms in succession, and soon, he reached the conclusion that none of these people were key members.

Where are the key members?

Du Wenming's temple twitched, realizing he had fallen into a trap.
