In the end of the world, I become an immortal alone
#20 - Years of hard training, fear of interrogation
"Quick! There's a problem with Cold Storage Number Three!"
"Seal off the streets! That guy ran into Wanlijin's territory next door!"
"The bartender is dead! Report it now! The bartender and the guys guarding the door are all dead! The cold storage is fine!"
Outside the tavern, groups of men and women in green tracksuits ran back and forth, shouting.
More than a dozen drones equipped with automatic machine guns patrolled above the buildings, the noise of their engines piercing Wang Jixuan's eardrums.
He was not far from the tavern at this moment.
The most dangerous place is the safest place.
Wang Jixuan first created the illusion of fleeing, then doubled back, found a normal-looking house near the tavern, hid in the closet of a corner room on the second floor, and maximized his spiritual sense.
The noisy shouts on the street gradually faded away;
The area around the tavern gradually quieted down.
Wang Jixuan quickly formed hand seals, his fingertips emitting a faint golden light, leaving complex traces in the dim space.
A crumpled talisman slowly unfolded in front of him, and in the center of the talisman, that three-inch-tall translucent figure stared blankly at everything.
Fresh souls often only require simple cooking… This is a bit too demonic.
This soul was constantly flickering because it was too shocked and nervous.
Wang Jixuan said in his mind, "I'll ask a question, you answer a question."
The soul of Gu Wending was still flickering non-stop.
Truly terrified.
Wang Jixuan was not in a hurry.
This kind of fresh soul is controlled by the talisman and cannot lie in front of him. Later, he only needs to make this guy open his mouth to easily complete the interrogation he is least good at.
He closed his eyes and waited patiently for a while, quietly sensing the changes in the surrounding environment.
This two-story building was inhabited by five men and women: two elderly people, two children, and a young woman. They should be a family, and they were in a state of nervous tension because of the chaos on the street.
A family of five or six enjoying a small building is an incredibly good environment in the entire fortress.
Wang Jixuan speculated that someone in this family should be a leader of the Blackfire Gang, or a meritorious member of the gang; they formed a sharp contrast with those in the City of Rebirth who lived in cramped, pigeon-cage-like spaces and had barcodes tattooed on their necks.
Having not received a response from the soul in front of him for a long time, Wang Jixuan frowned slightly, and his sword finger flicked gently, a small flame blooming from his fingertip and burning on the Soul-Seizing Talisman.
The talisman was not damaged in the slightest, but the translucent soul was filled with firelight.
"Ah—"
Just half a minute later.
Gu Wending's soul knelt in the center of the Soul-Seizing Talisman, muttering blankly:
"Let me go, let me go, I beg you, it would be better to let me die directly…"
"Where is your gang leader?" Wang Jixuan asked.
"Gang leader? BOSS?" Gu Wending cried tremulously, "I, I don't know."
"Don't know?" Wang Jixuan flicked a small flame from his fingertip.
"I really don't know!"
Gu Wending shouted in horror:
"Only the top six figures in our Blackfire Gang and Big Mouth Hua know where the BOSS is! Because Big Mouth Hua is the BOSS's younger brother! I'm just a small character guarding the warehouse!"
"So that's how it is."
Wang Jixuan pondered slightly:
"Then tell me what you know, who are the core members of your gang, what kind of affairs is each responsible for, and where do they often appear."
Gu Wending's soul nodded hastily: "Okay! I'll tell you! I'll tell you everything!"
Wang Jixuan calmly pulled out a prescription pad and a ballpoint pen from his jacket pocket and quickly wrote down the information he heard.
—Before entering the Gathering Spirit Realm, a cultivator's memory will not be significantly improved.
Listening and listening, Wang Jixuan vaguely realized that something was not quite right.
After Gu Wending finished speaking in one breath, Wang Jixuan wondered: "What exactly does your Blackfire Gang do? Its relationship with the Upper City is so close."
"Don't you know? Organ trading is our main business, as well as blood products."
Gu Wending smiled bitterly:
"The meaning of our Lower City gangs' existence is to serve the Upper City and the fortress…"
Wang Jixuan didn't care too much about this complex issue, as it had little to do with him.
He turned and asked, "What's in the cold storage under the tavern? Are there any treasures related to Blade Beasts?"
"I'm only responsible for guarding the door and watching over it. I only know that there is a large batch of biological materials provided to the Thirteenth Institute here… and some controlled doctors…"
Wang Jixuan was still unwilling to give up: "How does your gang leader usually contact you?"
"I really, really can't get in touch with him…"
Gu Wending said tremblingly, his soul beginning to wail with his head in his hands.
Wang Jixuan frowned and thought.
He now only wanted to find the BOSS of the Blackfire Gang to settle the cause and effect, and then cultivate in peace, but the progress was a bit unfavorable.
According to Gu Wending, the BOSS of the Blackfire Gang would only periodically summon those few highest-ranking guys to meet, and most of the time it was a video conference.
Even if Wang Jixuan later caught the third or fourth figure in the Blackfire Gang, it was difficult to guarantee that the BOSS would not hide in the Upper City.
Sure enough, a cunning rabbit has three burrows.
"Come on, don't waste the last bit of your soul power. This talisman can only let you live for three more days, and after three days your soul will be completely destroyed."
Wang Jixuan retreated to second place:
"Tell me about your experts, snipers, and the location and quantity of various high-powered weapons.
"Don't force me to torture you again. After all, I'm not some kind of demon. If you're like this, I actually feel some pressure on my Dao heart."
Gu Wending's soul opened its mouth.
Is this human language?
Torturing him, or was he wrong?
He only had three days to live?
A trace of despair appeared in the soul's eyes.
Wang Jixuan once again bloomed a flame from his fingertips, but in his heart, he was already thinking about how to coax this Blackfire Gang small boss, both kindness and power are the right way.
"Don't burn me! I'll talk! Isn't it okay if I talk!"
Gu Wending's soul smiled miserably.
He had received strict anti-interrogation training.
But having his soul dragged out and burned… it's really not within their training course!
…
The scale of the entire City of Rebirth is like a small town of ten thousand people.
The commotion caused by the tavern attack quickly spread to the territory of the neighboring gang [Wanlijin], and these two gangs, which had been constantly rubbing against each other, began to have sporadic firefights.
This is how gangs handle problems. If they don't agree, they fight first. The Lower City gangs are least afraid of attrition.
Taking advantage of the concealment of the dark areas, Wang Jixuan easily slipped out of the City of Rebirth.
He walked half a circle along the border of the Blackfire Gang's territory, found the gap in the opponent's defense line, and secretly slipped back into the City of Rebirth again under the noses of several street-guarding 'green tracksuit' members.
Wang Jixuan's plan was very simple.
Since Gu Wending, this small boss, couldn't find the whereabouts of the Blackfire Gang BOSS;
Then he would use this small boss to find the high-level personnel of the Blackfire Gang ranked in the single digits… If he continued to search along the vine like this, he would always be able to kill the BOSS of the Blackfire Gang.
The target Wang Jixuan was currently locked on was the third-in-command of the Blackfire Gang, the old gang leader nicknamed 'Giant Bone Fish', Wen Heisen.
The 'Giant Bone Fish' Wen Heisen in Gu Wending's mouth was a short, unremarkable old man who lived year-round in the five-story spire in the southeastern part of the City of Rebirth.
The spire is the Blackfire Gang's dispatch center.
The tip of the spire rests against the ceiling of the forty-ninth floor of the fortress, and under the tip of the tower is connected a huge sphere, inside which is installed a biological radar.
When this radar is turned on, it can scan all life forms within a certain area and lock and track up to three hundred biological individuals.
Gu Wending speculated that now that something had happened to the Blackfire Gang, 'Giant Bone Fish' Wen Heisen would most likely be sitting in the command room on the third floor of the dispatch center.
"Wen Heisen has always been very responsible for his work. He is decisive, ruthless, and principled. Everyone is very convinced by him. He is one of the soul figures of our Blackfire Gang. He definitely knows where the BOSS is."
Gu Wending's voice echoed in Wang Jixuan's heart.
This old soul was sealed in the Soul-Seizing Talisman by Wang Jixuan, and a shallow pocket could be used to pack it up and take it away.
Gu Wending said tremblingly: "You promised to let me occupy his body. God will not deceive his weak believers, right?"
"This poor Daoist will naturally do what he says."
Wang Jixuan curled his lips slightly.
He would let Gu Wending's soul find a body, fulfill his promise, and then directly kill this new body.
Is this lying? This is called deception in war.
After directly feeling the power of the sniper rifle with his Qi Training Realm Dao body, Wang Jixuan didn't dare to be careless in the slightest now.
Even if Gu Wending's soul couldn't lie and completely gave the defensive loopholes of this spire, Wang Jixuan still observed the spire for nearly two hours before officially starting the action.
The defense of this spire is not strict.
These gangs themselves are just a bunch of amateurs.
In Wang Jixuan's spiritual sense, there were fifty or sixty gang thugs inside the spire.
On the roofs of these three or four-story buildings around the spire, there were also four groups of thugs on sentry duty, and some searchlights that were not fully turned on were distributed everywhere.
Gunshots and explosions suddenly came from a distance.
"They're fighting! The Wanlijin Gang is fighting!"
Gu Wending's voice echoed in Wang Jixuan's heart, and he was even a little excited:
"They may send people to support them here. Good opportunity!"
Wang Jixuan nodded and continued to wait patiently.
Two groups of thugs on the roof were transferred at the same time and left in cars covered with thick leather, which gave him the perfect opportunity to sneak in.
Using the darkness between the low buildings, Wang Ji Xuan's figure rose and fell like a hawk, successfully approaching the north side of the spire, lying down against a low wall on the roof of a small building.
The huge beam of light from the spire's searchlight passed over Wang Ji Xuan's head.
He held his breath, silently counted to three, rolled over, and darted forward. The Divine Speed Talisman flashed, and qi filled his feet. His figure shot out diagonally like a cheetah, accurately landing below the ventilation duct on the second floor. He used the tip of his left foot for leverage, grabbed the duct with both hands, and easily slipped into the ventilation duct.
"It's here! This ventilation duct leads to the second-floor storage room, which is very close to the only elevator! I helped design this place! I know all the routes!"
Gu Wen-ding said quickly:
"If we're lucky, we might find some clothes. I also have the access code for this place!"
"Can I really replace Wen Hei-sen?"
There was a hint of trepidation in the old soul's voice.
This was the only glimmer of light he could grasp in his despair.
"Yes."
Wang Ji Xuan responded simply, his figure moving silently forward in the cement ventilation duct like a gecko.
Gu Wen-ding exclaimed, "You really are a god! Only a god can manipulate human souls at will! Then why can't you directly find our BOSS and kill him? Aren't gods omniscient and omnipotent?"
Wang Ji Xuan did not respond.
The path was very clear, and Wang Ji Xuan was also lucky. Two dirty green sweatshirts were discarded in the storage room.
Wang Ji Xuan did a lot of work to calm his dao heart before steeling himself to put the thing on.
The smell really made Wang Ji Xuan uncomfortable.
The only way to go up and down the spire was a single elevator. To prevent an attack on the headquarters, there were no stairs. An emergency passage was reserved inside the elevator shaft, and the elevator was equipped with surveillance and scanning equipment.
Anyone entering the elevator who was not on the surveillance system's "whitelist" needed to enter a constantly changing access code based on a "fixed database," or an alarm would be triggered.
Wang Ji Xuan carried a mop and bucket, calmly walking along the circular corridor on the second floor. He naturally nodded to a few Black Fire Gang thugs playing cards in the corner and stood in front of the elevator door.
The elevator was rising from the first floor. Wang Ji Xuan casually pressed the up button.
—He had learned this common knowledge thoroughly from Mu Liang's memories.
Wang Ji Xuan knew that his raid on the enemy's stronghold had reached its most dangerous moment.
In the worst-case scenario, the 'Bartender' would want to die with him, enter the elevator and remain silent, refusing to give him the access code, and he would be surrounded by more than eighty Black Gang thugs inside and outside.
'In any case, be prepared for a hard fight. There shouldn't be any snipers inside the spire.'
Dong, dong, dong!
His heartbeat slowed strangely by half a beat, and his usually calm spiritual sense suddenly jumped wildly!
Ding!
The elevator door slowly opened, and an old man with a tired face, a height of only one meter and sixty centimeters, and short silver hair, appeared before Wang Ji Xuan with two burly men in green sweatshirts carrying rifles.
Wang Ji Xuan's eyes met the other's.
He felt the mottled aura entrenched within the strong old man's body.
A cultivator?
A psychic?
The old man's tired eyes suddenly flashed brightly!
He stared at Wang Ji Xuan, as if trying to recognize the face, and the aura in his body began to swell, instantly tightening the gray suit on his body!
Just as the old man was about to shout and clench his fist to strike, Wang Ji Xuan struck first, kicking him in!
