Chapter 294: Becoming an Idiot

After Yingzhou hung up the communication, he finally could not hold back and began to laugh out loud.

"Hahaha, after dragging it out for so long, he finally showed his true colors!"

Lu Zhenda, standing to the side, looked at Yingzhou, who had been suppressing his laughter just a moment ago and had started laughing out loud after hanging up the communication.

His first reaction in his heart was actually: No way, it's just been half a month of reading documents, it shouldn't be that bad, right? I read quite a few more trivial documents than he does, and I'm fine.

"Lao Lu, it's Pake, he exposed himself!"

"Ex... exposed himself?"

Lu Zhenda looked at Yingzhou with a blank expression. His chief usually had no airs and was easy to approach, but sometimes he would say things that left him unable to figure out what was going on.

"That's not the point. The point is, that guy Pake is definitely the one who attacked the other Councilors. Now we just need the evidence. I'll think about which squad to send over first."

"Councilor Pake? It really is him!"

Lu Zhenda muttered to himself in surprise, then said to Yingzhou.

"Chief, since that's the case, he must have a reason for wanting the soldiers you summoned. If you send them to him like this, wouldn't you be fulfilling his wish?"

The corners of Yingzhou's mouth turned up, and he said confidently.

"Don't worry, Lao Lu, I have a handle on this. When the time comes, I'll catch him red-handed."

Ninth Defense Zone Inner City.

Pu Lie walked out of the study, and Lu Wang, who was to the side, bowed respectfully and said to Pu Lie.

"My Lord, what is the Master's intention?"

Pu Lie sighed, shook his head, and said.

"The Master's intention is that this is not the best opportunity to act. The Master needs us to open the Hell Gate in order to appear, but the Believers in the Inner City alone are not enough. We need to open the Hell Gate in the Outer City so that the Master and his great army will have enough blood-food and sacrifices when they arrive at the Ninth Defense Zone."

"But, My Lord, the troops currently maintaining order in the Production Zone of the Outer City are all soldiers under that Military District chief, Yingzhou. We do not have enough manpower to set up the ritual to open the Hell Gate."

As soon as Pu Lie heard the name Yingzhou, he gritted his teeth in hatred. "That Yingzhou, he really knows how to cause me trouble. Why was it Lu Yang who disappeared instead of him? If that were the case, perhaps we could have taken advantage of the Ninth Defense Zone falling into chaos to open the Hell Gate and let the Master arrive at the Ninth Defense Zone smoothly."

"My Lord, then what is the Master's intention?"

"The Master's intention is to wait for an opportunity and secretly develop our forces to ensure that the Hell Gate can be opened smoothly."

The two walked into the living room. Pu Lie sat down on the sofa with a thud, took a red fruit from the fruit tray to the side, slowly placed it into his mouth, and said to Lu Wang while chewing.

"Speaking of Yingzhou, how is his older brother doing?"

Lu Wang respectfully handed a cup of tea to Pu Lie from the side and said in a respectful tone.

"According to your requirements, that Yingfang has now become an idiot. He no longer has the ability to think. Should we continue?"

A trace of a smile appeared on Pu Lie's gloomy face. After pondering for a moment, he said to Lu Wang.

"Take me to see him. I am actually quite curious if this guy still remembers me now."

"As you command, My Lord."

In a dark secret room, a dozen ragged, emaciated children were locked in a cage. They looked at the bed outside the cage with dim eyes.

Lying on the bed was a man who was drooling and acting like a fool. The scars on his face had become loose due to his extreme thinness. From time to time, he would let out a few laughs, and his body would struggle incessantly, but it was to no avail; it only added a little sound to the quiet environment.

Just then, two sets of footsteps approached from afar. Two figures appeared in the sight of these children. Upon seeing the newcomers, the children subconsciously shrank back and huddled toward the inner side of the already cramped cage.

Pu Lie glanced at the shrinking children in the cage and said to Lu Wang beside him.

"Keep this in mind, don't let them die. They are the sacrifices for the Master to open the Hell Gate; there can't be any slip-ups."

"Don't worry, My Lord, I won't let anything happen to these sacrifices."

After hearing this, Pu Lie went to the bed where Yingfang was being controlled. Looking at Yingfang lying flat on the bed, drooling like a fool, Pu Lie kicked Yingfang with disdain.

"Ah... ah... hahaha... ah hahaha... hehe..."

Yingfang, having been kicked by Pu Lie, let out a series of chaotic cries, his body began to struggle, and his head shook back and forth.

"Yingfang, do you still remember this name?"

Seeing Yingfang in this state, Pu Lie stepped back a few paces, fearing that the other party's saliva would land on him. After all, this guy had now become an idiot, and if he were to bicker with an idiot, wouldn't that make him look very stupid?

He had originally thought that if he said the name Yingfang, the other party would react, but now it seemed that this guy had completely become an idiot.

Looking at Yingfang, who was screaming wildly on the hospital bed, Pu Lie covered his ears and said to Lu Wang.

"Make him be quiet!"

After saying this, he turned around and stopped looking at Yingfang's state.

"Yes, My Lord."

Lu Wang walked up to Yingfang. After a round of torture, Yingfang finally closed his mouth and lay on the bed, shivering all over.

Hearing the movement behind him subside, Pu Lie turned around and sighed with emotion.

"Ah, I am still too kind. I really can't bear to watch such scenes of abusing an idiot."

"My Lord is merciful; otherwise, in his state, he would have already died."

"Hahaha, is that so? Hmm... since this Yingfang has become an idiot, then don't keep him tied here. In case the Master doesn't get his desired vessel, he would be a good substitute choice. After all, they are biological brothers.

Oh my, if it really comes to that, wouldn't I be able to witness a scene of brothers killing each other? I wonder if Yingzhou will be ruthless enough to kill his brother when the time comes?"

Thinking of this, Pu Lie nodded with satisfaction and began to fantasize about the expression on Yingzhou's face at that time; it should be quite spectacular.

After leaving the secret room, Pu Lie saw an attendant appear in the living room and asked with a smile.

"Fang Kai, is there something you need from me?"

The attendant called Fang Kai bowed to Pu Lie and Lu Wang before speaking.

"Lord Pu Lie, according to intelligence, that Yingzhou from the Military District has already sent a squad to Councilor Pake to protect Councilor Pake's safety."

Pu Lie chuckled, as if he had heard something funny.

"Heh, that guy Pake actually asked for a squad from the Military District to protect him, that's hilarious. Since when does he need protection? By the way, which combat squad did they send?"

After pondering for a moment, Fang Kai replied.

"Reporting to My Lord, your subordinate does not know which combat squad it is. Their equipment does not look like Human Alliance equipment."

"My lord, it should be the soldiers summoned by Yingzhou."

Lu Wang whispered a reminder to Pu Lie from the side.
