Chapter 1545: Special Background

~7 min read 1,305 words

Just from the fact that he knows about Superpowered Persons, his team must be a special one.

"The nature of the team I am in is rather special, so I know a few things and often encounter Superpowered Persons; these are nothing strange to us," Chen Bo said with a smile.

"So, have you retired?" Chen Yu said, "As far as I know, in such special teams, talented people are generally permanent employees and don't usually change professions."

"It's not retirement; this time I was originally going to Fusang to see an old friend, but I didn't expect to encounter this situation halfway there," Chen Bo said to himself.

"Brother Chen, I can see you aren't an ordinary person either. I have had contact with Martial Artists, but your strength is clearly much higher than theirs, almost not even on the same level. You are a Dharma Cultivator, right?" Chen Bo turned his head to look at Chen Yu.

"I won't hide it from you, Brother Chen, I am indeed a Dharma Cultivator." Chen Yu smiled slightly; ever since his rebirth, he had been encountering more and more people with such special abilities.

Chen Bo was not someone from an ordinary team, so it was normal for him to see at a glance that he was a Dharma Cultivator.

"Then you are truly too low-key, Brother Chen. I have had contact with Dharma Cultivators before; every one of them had that high-and-mighty air about them. How are you so approachable?" Chen Bo turned his head to look at Chen Yu.

"I am different from them. They view life as ants, but in my eyes, human life is life—though the lives of those villains don't count," Chen Yu said with a slight smile.

"Good. Actually, I feel that Dharma Cultivators should shoulder responsibilities instead of blindly pursuing cultivation and the Heavenly Dao," Chen Bo nodded slightly and said, "It would be better if there were more people like you in this world, brother."

"It's not that grand; it's just being in this position and having no choice in the matter," Chen Yu smiled and said, "Be careful, there is barbed wire ahead."

Chen Bo hurriedly reached out to make the team stop. He leaned forward to take a look, and sure enough, ahead was a circle of enclosed barbed wire.

"Cut it," Chen Bo picked up the pliers and prepared to act.

"Wait, behind the barbed wire, there are infrared sensors," Chen Yu looked ahead.

Sure enough, inside the barbed wire was a circle of infrared beams; if anyone went in, they would definitely be discovered.

"Were these things here before?" Chen Bo looked at Zhou Ran with some surprise.

"Before, it was just a circle of barbed wire. It wasn't electrified at all, and there were no high-tech things like infrared," Zhou Ran frowned slightly.

"Then this group of people is definitely not simple. It must be that his subordinates communicated with outsiders to rebel," Chen Bo said, "This kind of infrared is applied to military use; these people are wealthy enough."

"Then what should we do now?" Chen Yu looked at the infrared beams before them.

"Go around in a circle and see if there are any blind spots. If there are, we will enter from that place," Chen Bo considered for a moment.

"Alright, we will change direction and proceed, but this way the distance to the Torture Chamber will be further. Entering from this place is the closest," Chen Yu pondered slightly.

"No, we can't alert the enemy. We have to take a detour. Let's go," Chen Bo waved his hand, and the group followed.

After looking around the barbed wire, there were indeed blind spots. They cut the barbed wire, and everyone squeezed inside.

"This is the Torture Chamber, and this is the Water Prison. I have already sent out Wang Cheng's photo. Are we going together, or splitting into two groups?" Zhou Ran took out a map and marked the two locations.

"Split into two groups. I'll take a few people, and it will be safer for Miss Zhou to follow Brother Chen," Chen Bo said, "After finding the person, send a message first. We will talk after we rendezvous."

"It's settled then. Let's go," Chen Yu nodded and led Zhou Ran toward the direction of the Torture Chamber.

Along the way, the lights were dim, and the base was quite large. The two walked while avoiding surveillance and patrolling soldiers, their speed of movement extremely slow.

Seeing a patrol team coming their way, Chen Yu pulled Zhou Ran and dodged into the shadows.

The group walked away, but two patrolling pirates stopped. They lit two cigarettes and stood not far from Chen Yu and Zhou Ran, puffing away.

Moreover, the two were speaking gibberish; it was impossible to tell what language it was, but Chen Yu could roughly identify through his Mental Power that they were discussing nothing more than how enchanting a certain woman was or how explosive the woman they captured today was.

Looking at the two in front of them, Zhou Ran could not help but feel a little nervous. Chen Yu saw her nervousness, smiled at her, and then gave her a comforting look.

These two guys chatted here for a long time before leaving. It was not until they left that Chen Yu pulled Zhou Ran out from the shadows and continued toward the Torture Chamber.

Soon, the two arrived at the perimeter of the Torture Chamber. Outside the Torture Chamber were many torture devices, and people were locked onto various types of them.

Clearly, after that subordinate of Wang Cheng rebelled, many tourists who often passed by Pirate Island were caught off guard, so many were captured here.

There were still a few corpses on the ground, and through the wooden room, one could vaguely see the people hung up inside the Torture Chamber.

A few tall pirates with ferocious expressions were drinking and discussing something loudly on the side. They ate meat in large chunks, their expressions extremely arrogant.

"Wang Cheng is not inside," Chen Yu shook his head slightly.

"You saw that without going in?" Zhou Ran was slightly stunned. Chen Yu's words made her feel it was unbelievable. Chen Yu clearly hadn't gone in; how did he know Wang Cheng wasn't inside?

"Perception. Wang Cheng is not there. Although I haven't met him, I can roughly know his outline from the photo. Just now, I used my Divine Sense to scan the people inside the Torture Chamber, and Wang Cheng was not among them," Chen Yu explained.

"So that's how it is. Then he shouldn't be here. Let's head toward the Water Prison; he should be at the Water Prison," Zhou Ran nodded. She almost forgot Chen Yu's identity. For someone like Chen Yu, even if he didn't use his eyes to look, he could know whether Wang Cheng was there using his perception.

"Alright, let's head toward the Water Prison first, but if he is not at the Water Prison, does that mean he is already dead?" Chen Yu asked.

"That's hard to say," Zhou Ran shook her head slightly, "Wang Cheng is a very capable person. No matter what he does, he always paves a way out for himself. He should have anticipated today's events long ago. I feel he must have a way to escape."

"Alright, let's go take a look first. If he isn't there, we'll grab a few people and interrogate them to ask where he is," Chen Yu said.

The two figures flashed and disappeared into the darkness again. Along the way, they continued to avoid surveillance and patrolling pirates.

The Water Prison also held many people; most of the bodies of some were locked in the water, with only their heads left outside.
