Chapter 392

Hu Zhilong bowed his head, tears falling drop by drop: "I… am guilty, beyond pardon!"

Su Yang stared at the water stains on the cement ground, fell silent for a long while, then spoke slowly: "I'll try—on the condition that you were once a member of the Emergency Unit."

"Thank you!"

Su Yang looked at the Chromatic Illusion Butterfly: "Hypnotize!"

The Chromatic Illusion Butterfly had no hypnotic talent; logically, it could hardly hypnotize a Platinum Peak expert.

But it possessed the Spiritual Domination talent—once it fully dominated a Platinum Peak expert, it could hypnotize that Platinum Peak beast-tamer.

After the Chromatic Illusion Butterfly fully hypnotized the target, Su Yang asked: "Where is Hu Zhilong's daughter?"

The Black Feather Organization expert spoke: "Dead!"

Dead?

Dead!

Su Yang stared in shock at Hu Zhilong.

"When did she die?"

"Three years ago!"

Three years ago?

Hu Zhilong suddenly leapt to his feet, grabbing the Black Feather Organization expert's collar and roaring: "You're lying! You're lying, aren't you? I talked to her just a month ago!"

The Chromatic Illusion Butterfly had first dominated the target before hypnotizing him.

Otherwise, Hu Zhilong's strength would have already shattered the trance!

"Hu Zhilong, calm down!" Su Yang pulled him back and stepped before the Black Feather Organization expert: "Then who did you speak to Hu Zhilong with a month ago?"

"Zhang Hanyang!"

Zhang Hanyang?

Su Yang didn't recognize the name.

Hu Zhilong shouted: "Captain Su, the person I video-called a month ago was definitely my daughter—my daughter isn't dead!"

Su Yang asked calmly: "Who is Zhang Hanyang?"

"One of our Black Feather Organization members—he specializes in disguise and mimicry!"

"How did Zhang Hanyang impersonate Hu Zhilong's daughter and deceive him?"

"Hu Zhilong's daughter, Hu Min, committed suicide—we couldn't save her. At the moment of her death, the High Priest of the Shoushen Sect happened to be present, so he forcibly extracted part of Hu Min's memories and had Zhang Hanyang assume her identity!"

Su Yang looked at the Chromatic Illusion Butterfly.

The Chromatic Illusion Butterfly confirmed the target was fully hypnotized.

Therefore, the target's words were almost certainly true.

If they truly extracted fragments of Hu Min's memories, it was entirely plausible they could deceive Hu Zhilong.

Since it was a video call, the limitations were too great!

"Impossible! Impossible! My daughter would never kill herself!" Hu Zhilong roared. "She promised me—she promised she'd live, wait for me to rescue her! Impossible! Impossible! You're lying—you're lying to me!"

Hu Zhilong's emotions were nearing madness.

He lunged at the Black Feather Organization expert, but the Chromatic Illusion Butterfly restrained him.

Su Yang asked: "Why did Hu Zhilong's daughter kill herself?"

"During a conversation three years ago between Hu Zhilong and Hu Min… he revealed our transaction details!"

Hu Zhilong's eyes widened, fixed on the Black Feather Organization expert.

His consciousness remained intact.

"What transaction details?"

"Hu Min desperately wanted to see the outside world, but I refused. At the time, Hu Zhilong said he'd arrange for more people to go out—on the night Hu Min returned after her trip, she took advantage of our distraction and killed herself!" the Black Feather Organization expert said. "We had no choice—we had Zhang Hanyang impersonate her, using those memory fragments to deliberately shorten his calls with Hu Zhilong, and we got away with it!"

Hu Zhilong stood frozen, his eyes filled with despair and agony!

"Who is Zhang Hanyang?"

"A Platinum-level beast-tamer—killed by Su Yang!"

Su Yang asked again: "Where is Hu Min's body?"

"Burned to ash with the others in the crematorium—taken out of Anlong City!"

"…"

The hypnosis ended; nothing more needed to be asked.

The control over Hu Zhilong was lifted—he collapsed helplessly onto the ground.

Su Yang sat on the nearby flowerbed, unsure what to say.

Hu Zhilong's daughter had killed herself to help her father escape the Black Feather Organization's control.

But clearly, she had failed.

"The Black Feather Organization must have agents inside Anlong City's military too, right?"

Having infiltrated Anlong City for so long, besides Hu Zhilong's cooperation, they must have also penetrated Anlong City's military!

"Yes," Hu Zhilong whispered. "All of them were placed by me."

"Name them all."

"Alright."

Hu Zhilong had no reason left to protect the Black Feather Organization.

His hatred toward them was boundless!

The purge began with Anlong City's main beast-tamer forces.

Among the Anlong City beast-tamer troops Hu Zhilong brought, there were Black Feather Organization members.

But after eliminating the young bait, Su Yang swiftly located the underground research facility—these people had no chance to send a message out!
