Chapter 129: Scheming
Chapter 129: Scheming
How could it be so fast?!
Just as Leon was unable to find an exit and started a violent demolition, a deeply hidden rebel faction member immediately sensed the anomaly.
Feeling the intense tremors, the "Dungeon" was being destroyed, and Scarface Chief's brows furrowed in an instant.
Even though he didn't expect to trap the enemy to death, he wanted to delay as much as possible to buy time for his comrades to retreat. However, the opponent's reaction was surprisingly fast, and when they realized they couldn't leave directly, they immediately started smashing the wall. Scarface hadn't even had time to leave the Secret Investigation Bureau...
"What's going on?"
Sensing the change in his expression, the female prisoner, whose handcuffs had been removed, looked at him with caution:
"Could it be... something happened at the Cleanup Bureau?"
"No."
Scarface shook his head and said,
"The Commissioner of the Virgin Bureau in the Cleanup Bureau is incredibly strong. Even if she's occupied with guarding the anomaly, using up most of her strength, she's not someone we can deal with. If she makes a move, we might as well wait for death.
The problem is with the one in the dungeon. He's currently causing havoc in the real dungeon, and once he completely destroys it, my replicated dungeon won't be able to hold up."
"How is that possible?!"
Upon hearing Scarface's words, the female prisoner hadn't spoken yet when the other young man beside her exclaimed in shock:
"I twisted the staircase so tightly that it's impossible to climb. Normally, wouldn't someone try to climb for a while? It's been less than half a minute, and he's already started breaking through the wall?"
"I don't know how, but now isn't the time to think about that."
Scarface quickly walked through the empty Secret Investigation Bureau lobby, glanced out the window toward the Cleanup Bureau, and after a moment's thought, he spoke to his two companions:
"You two go ahead. I'll stay here."
"Barton!"
Hearing his words, the young man exclaimed:
"You can't stay here! We're so close to the Virgin Bureau. Even if our abilities show almost no fluctuations, it's still too risky. If that woman takes action, you're done for."
"It's fine. I've been prepared to sacrifice myself since the beginning of our infiltration.
And it's not a sudden decision. A few days ago, when Samantha mentioned that person's abilities, I already had this plan in mind."
Scarface took out a command token, opened its casing, and showed it to his two companions. He explained calmly:
"Just like this one, there's another hidden inside Samantha's handcuffs. I was actually eavesdropping upstairs while he was interrogating Samantha during the interrogation.
Samantha, you've experienced his interrogation twice, so you should understand how terrifying the Virgin Bureau newcomer's abilities are. Whether you speak or remain silent, it doesn't hinder him from getting the answers he seeks.
This person is extremely dangerous to us. No one can keep secrets from him. If he starts helping Isa, our entire operation will be exposed, and we'll all be caught eventually. That's why this person must die."
"Indeed... I agree with Barton..."
After listening to Scarface's words, the female prisoner clenched her fist and nodded in agreement, her eyes filled with fear:
"That person is truly like a demon... It's not just his manipulation of people's hearts, but also the feeling he gives off.
Honestly, when I look at him, I sometimes even hallucinate, imagining that he has demonic horns growing from his head. If we can get rid of him early on, it's worth paying a price..."
"Then there's no need for Barton to stay!"
Seeing that the other two agreed with this plan, which could be described as "one life for another," the young man urged:
"We're in the shadows, and he's in the light. There will be other opportunities to deal with him later. We can frame him, kidnap his family, or even launch a surprise attack..."
"No, those methods might not work.
Scarface Bully thought for a moment before shaking his head and said:
"Although I had the idea of getting rid of him after hearing Samantha's words, Isa bringing him to me was truly unexpected. Just as I was about to take advantage of the situation, he almost simultaneously looked up at me.
So if I'm not mistaken, this person's ability consumption should be very low, perhaps even activated all day long. Once someone harbors intense hostility towards him, he will detect it immediately and prepare in advance..."
"Wait a minute?!"
Hearing this, the female prisoner couldn't help but exclaim in shock:
"You mean he sensed your hostility towards him even before he came downstairs? That means..."
"You're right, that's exactly what happened."
Scarface Bully said with a hint of helplessness:
"Before the interrogation, he probably had some suspicions. Once he and Isa entered the dungeon and saw my name on the register, he likely figured out who I was. So, your anomaly was essentially tricked away by him."
"..."
"But it's not a total loss."
Seeing the regret and disappointment on the female prisoner's face, Scarface Bully comforted her:
"Though he saw through my facade, I also realized he suspected me to be a spy. So, before they entered the dungeon, I made my move, which is why I have this opportunity to deal with him directly!"
At this point, Scarface Bully's eyes were resolute:
"So, listen to me! You two need to leave immediately. The abilities I've bestowed upon you aren't much, but they're enough to help you avoid people on the way and escape the municipal area."
The young man hesitated:
"What about you..."
"Go now!"
"We should go, at the very least we need to deliver the information Bardon got back!"
"..."
"Ah!!!"
Under the persistent persuasion of the two seniors, the young man stomped his foot, then directly picked up the female prisoner and ran out of the empty Secret Investigation Bureau hall without looking back.
It was daytime, and there were quite a few people on the streets, but strangely, everyone seemed to ignore the two of them.
Wherever they passed, the people around them would suddenly vanish one by one, and after they left, they would reappear a bit further from where they had disappeared, as if they existed in a different world...
Just go, as long as the information reaches its destination, my years of infiltration won't be in vain.
Standing at the entrance of the Secret Investigation Bureau, watching the two companions' figures grow smaller in the distance, Scarface Bully couldn't help but raise his hand to touch the gruesome scar that stretched from his face to his earlobe. Then, he smiled faintly with a sense of relief and turned to walk towards the stairwell.
At least it's a one-for two exchange, not a bad deal!
Moreover, since I can no longer return...
I might as well make a bigger commotion!
