Chapter 951: Fang Liangye
Fang Liangye
"The moment the explosion occurred, all the Police Officers in the Detention Center passed out. There were traces of witchcraft being cast left at the scene. It's certain that those fish that slipped through the net did this."
"As expected..." Chi Tong snorted coldly. "Are there any casualties?"
"There are no casualties, but..."
"But what?"
"Those prisoners locked in the Detention Center have all been released."
Hearing this, Chi Tong frowned. He seemed to have thought of something and muttered to himself:
"Could their target be... him..."
Those imprisoned in the Detention Center were all ordinary people who had committed crimes like theft and robbery. In addition, there were also some civilians who attempted to resist the Silver Government, and the one recently imprisoned in the Detention Center was Fang Liangye.
But the current Fang Liangye had already been grafted with Chen Ling's memories and was an unconscious madman... Probably, after those witches rescued him, they could only be disappointed. Thinking of this, Chi Tong immediately felt much better.
"Have people been sent to track them down?"
"They've already been sent, but after so many of our extermination campaigns, the witches still active in the Wuji Domain have too many bizarre methods. I'm afraid it'll be very difficult to get results..."
"A bunch of remnant soldiers and defeated generals. Besides sneak attacking facilities guarded by ordinary people, they can't accomplish anything major either... Just investigate as best as you can."
"Yes."
After the Fire-Stealer went far away, Chi Tong turned around preparing to leave, only to see that Chen Ling was still following beside him with a somewhat strange expression.
He almost forgot that the current Chen Ling was an impassioned 'human rights fighter'. If this guy knew that those witches attacked the Detention Center at night to rescue him, who knew what kind of trouble he would cause...
"Chen Ling, this has nothing to do with you. Hurry back and rest." Chi Tong tried to shoo Chen Ling away.
"I want to find the Silver King." Chen Ling suddenly spoke. "He promised me that after I personally kill the Dusk Society villain, he will cancel the mandatory eighteen-hour work time... Where is he right now?"
"..."
Chi Tong had no time to discuss Silver Government policy issues with him right now, and this wasn't something a Thief Saint like him could decide anyway, so he could only reply perfunctorily, "Oh, about this... It just so happens that the King has gone out for business these past two days. You can wait for him to return and chat with him personally."
After speaking, Chi Tong hurriedly walked into the distance.
Wearing the Great Crimson Theatrical Robe, Chen Ling stood in place, looking at the slightly chaotic church, his eyes narrowing slightly.
Oh~~~
No wonder someone dared to attack the Detention Center. It turns out the Silver King isn't in Wuji right now...
Then things are easy to handle.
Figures passed by Chen Ling one after another, all busy with their own matters. No one paid attention to Chen Ling, no one cared about Chen Ling, as if his presence and threat level in this church had been reduced to the lowest.
The glimmer of dawn gradually rose from outside the window of the corridor. Chen Ling unhurriedly turned around and walked toward his room.
...
Several figures wearing black robes carried an unconscious youth on their backs, sprinting through the dark alleyways of the Wuji Domain.
"How is it, have they caught up?"
"No, this time not even a Thief Saint-level person came to chase us. It seems they truly don't care about the Detention Center, nor do they care about Mister Fang."
"Mister Fang is just an Ordinary Person, they certainly wouldn't care. We attacked the Detention Center, apart from rescuing Mister Fang, the more important thing was to confirm whether the Silver King had truly left... Now looking at the reaction from the church, he really has left."
"Once the Silver King leaves, there's more room for us to maneuver. Maybe we can send another batch of children out."
"It should be very difficult to send people out again. After all, there is only one Holy Relic. Even if we send them out, it's impossible for them to cross the Gray World... I just don't know how that batch of children we already sent out is doing right now. Have they successfully arrived in the Tianshu Domain?"
"By the way, I heard that Mr. Fu also returned today? Is it true??"
"It's true, it's just that he suffered very heavy injuries and needs to recuperate for a period of time..."
"Wasn't he locked in the Dungeon on the lowest level of the church, with a Thief Saint personally guarding him? How did he escape?"
"I don't know... But it seems to be related to a certain person. He mentioned it casually, something about Red something... When he finishes recuperating, let's go ask him."
"Red...?"
Everyone fell into deep thought.
Right at this moment, a faint voice came from their backs.
"Red... Hearts..."
"Mister Fang, you're awake?" Everyone was somewhat pleasantly surprised. "How do you feel? Are you injured?"
Fang Liangye slowly raised his head, his weak complexion like white paper in the gloom. His eyes were glazed over, and his voice fluctuated, erratic and drifting:
"Me... injured?"
"Right, are you injured?" Everyone asked again.
"Injured... How could I be injured?? I won't die. I performed very well, and the Audience approved of me. Right now, to kill me, you need two shots!!" Fang Liangye suddenly yelled excitedly!
"???"
"I remember now. I shouldn't be here... I was kidnapped!"
"Mister Fang, what are you saying? We have already rescued you."
"No, the Silver King must have stolen my memory. I knew something was wrong... Zou Wei... Zou Wei and the others should have already escaped back to the Tianshu Domain. I just don't know if the Silver King will make a move on their memories... But Ke Xiaoyan has a Curse, she can be immune to memory theft. Even if an accident happened, she should still be able to remember me..."
Fang Liangye's words became denser and denser, and his body trembled uncontrollably. Seeing this, several witches waved their palms and knocked Fang Liangye unconscious on the spot.
"...What's wrong with Mister Fang?"
"Didn't you hear? The Silver King stole his memory... Now his entire person is chaotic."
"But Mister Fang is just an Ordinary Person. Is it worth the Silver King making a move personally?"
"Damn it, what exactly is going on?"
Everyone found it inconceivable, but at present, they still carried Fang Liangye and swiftly traversed through buildings, eventually arriving near an aqueduct in the suburbs.
They looked around, and after confirming that no one had caught up, they lifted a manhole cover and entered the sewer one after another...
The sewer was dark and damp, filled with a nauseating stench everywhere, but these people seemed to have gotten used to it. As a witch raised a fingertip, a glimmer of light lit up from the void, dispersing the darkness around them.
After traversing several sewers, they arrived in front of a seamless wall. One of them raised a palm and twisted it across the air toward the wall surface...
A portal shrouded in shadows slowly opened to everyone.
