"Maybe Peace has been deceived, but I think he’s a good person, and I trust him."
Gu Feng was dumbfounded, looking at Wu Chang, thinking to himself, does this kid have Enchanting Demon bloodline? How could he have bewitched He Yun, who is usually aloof and world-weary, in such a short ti?
If Wu Chang had the Mind Reading Technique, he would definitely correct Gu Feng, saying he’s not an Enchanting Demon; his roommate Fang Hui is.
Although being inexplicably sent a "good person" card made Wu Chang a bit unhappy, he took advantage of Gu Feng’s shift from questioning his identity to steer the topic back to the two people in the room.
He looked at Gu Feng with suspicion and said:
"If, according to what you say, the two of them believed the rumors and stumbled into here, then their focus should be on gathering intelligence or uncovering the secret of the Underground Shelter. We’ve never seen these two before, so why did they imdiately launch an attack on us as soon as we checked in?"
He wouldn’t rush to leave just because of a few words from Gu Feng. The actions of the two people in the room needed an explanation.
With these words, the atmosphere beca tense. He Yun squinted, waiting for Gu Feng’s answer, while her cha entered charging mode.
Gu Feng felt a bit numb, and he explained: "They infiltrated the Underground Shelter a few days ago, and we’ve been chasing them these days. Just now, we detected their Energy reactions, and we followed the Energy into the room and subdued the two of them."
"As for their attack on you, we are not aware of the details."
The Player using Yin God had violently died, but there was still one captive left in the room.
Wu Chang bypassed Gu Feng and went straight to the Player pinned on the ground.
"Tell , why did you attack us?"
The other party was quite sensible, after all, they were just here to try their luck for the money, not worth risking their lives over this, thus needing no severe imprisonnt, they quickly said:
"Soone paid a large sum to amplify her psychological weakness."
Wu Chang glanced back at He Yun, noting her face was a bit displeased, then continued to ask:
"Who hired you?"
The captive looked at Gu Feng and said, "Unless you ensure that once I speak, the people from the Managent Bureau will imdiately escort out of here, otherwise, I won’t say a word."
Gu Feng promptly agreed, "I can guarantee that you just say it."
The captive sighed in relief and said, "Though they were disguised, we could confirm using a special thod that the one who hired us is the Archbishop of the Bliss Sect."
At this, to increase credibility, he added to Gu Feng: "A few days ago, it was the Bliss Sect that helped us escape under your tracking."
"They know you very well, and with their guidance, we’ve been operating under your noses these days without being discovered."
The captive’s words undoubtedly slapped the faces of Gu Feng and the mbers of the Managent Bureau, turning their faces ashen.
Wu Chang tily said, "It seems that in the Underground Shelter, the Energy of the Bliss Sect is far greater than you imagine, and they have slipped beyond your control, instead they’ve been playing you thoroughly."
"I am certain they are plotting so secret deal, maybe we can cooperate in dealing with the Bliss Sect."
Gu Feng pondered for a mont, then took out a walkie-talkie from his personal space and handed it to Wu Chang, saying:
"If you encounter trouble, you can contact through it, but regarding dealing with the Bliss Sect, I advise you and Miss He Yun beside you not to rashly get involved. I know you have great confidence in your own Power, but this is not the Desolate Realm, the gap in absolute Power is insurmountable."
After giving his advice, Gu Feng left with his n, escorting the captive away.
Wu Chang and He Yun returned to their room, with Wu Chang saying, "They are targeting you and even know your weaknesses clearly, or else tomorrow’s plan to go to the Bliss Sect..."
He Yun interrupted, "It’s just what they think is a weakness, and the more they act like this, the more I want to see what they know."
Though He Yun acted indifferent, it was clear the attacker’s words affected her. She didn’t sleep again in the latter half of the night, but instead adjusted her cha, using it to divert her unease.
Early the next morning, the two of them left the hotel and headed straight for the Paradise Cathedral.
In the future tech-based Underground Shelter, the Starry Street where the Paradise Cathedral is located happened to be one of the few places that valued superstition.
Due to the rise of the Bliss Sect, a wave of Mysticism arose, and on Starry Street, many tag-along Divination stalls could be seen.
Things like electronic astrology, fortune-telling robots, big data facial analysis could be found everywhere.
Passing through a small alley, a middle-aged woman wearing a robe and smoking a cigarette recognized the two of them and gestured to them:
"Oh, isn’t this He Yun, and that newcor from last night? Kid, you made a big buck last night, how about I do a free Divination for you?"
Wu Chang stopped and took a look, finding the middle-aged woman’s stall different from others, as she was not using high-tech Divination but traditional paper Tarot Cards.
Moreover, the Tarot Cards she used had a real Mysticism aura attached, clearly not simple Tarot Cards, it was an Item.
Seeing Wu Chang’s gaze, the stall owner proudly said, "I’m different from those money-scamrs, before entering the Underground Shelter, my family was already in the Divination business on the surface, and this set of Tarot Cards is a family heirloom, extrely accurate in Divination, would you like to give it a try?"
