Chapter 134 - Endless Seas 09 (1/2)
Xiao Lou picked up the cards Group Leader Yu discovered and carefully observed them.
The S-grade card ‘Quiet World’ only had one skill. It was the first time he had seen a card that had an impact on the environment. Every 15 minutes, it could completely mute a designated area of 10 square metres. In frontal combat, this silence wasn’t very useful. However, it was the strongest trump card when used for a.s.sa.s.sination.
The cards ‘Water Ghost’ and ‘Frozen like a Statue’ had very short cooldown times. The former was a tailor-made card for surviving at sea while the latter’s group control skill was very aggressive. The reason they were both A-grade cards rather than S-grade was because they had a limit on the number of users. After 10 uses, the cards would be completely damaged.
Each of the three people were holding a Frozen like a Statue card. This meant that if Yu Hanjiang didn’t stop these three people in time, they could lurk underwater and quietly kill 30 s.h.i.+ps. This was more than 300 challengers!
Xiao Lou had chills at the thought. What was the deep hatred between the Hunter’s League and the challengers? Why ruthlessly kill them like this?
What’s more, the boss of this organization seemed to know the many secrets of the challengers. These three cards were almost customized for this week. Otherwise, how could they happen to bring the Water Ghost card with them to a secret room that was survival at sea? With all this preparation, did the Hunter’s League know in advance where the World Weekly rooms would take place?
Xiao Lou was deep in thought. Since he and Group Leader Yu were connected, this thoughts were pa.s.sed onto Yu Hanjiang.
Yu Hanjiang said, “Professor Xiao, the Hunter’s League has many secrets. You are thinking correctly. They probably know this week’s secret room and prepared cards in advance. I have to interrogate the three in detail to see if I can pry information from them.”
These hunters couldn’t take poison to commit suicide and were viciously staring at Yu Hanjiang. Yu Hanjiang carefully searched the three people. He found a sharp military knife in the boots of the three people. The knife matched the wounds of those who died on the two escape boats.
Yu Hanjiang stated, “This should be the murder weapon. The three knives aren’t cards. They brought them in from the City of the Moon.”
“We can’t bring anything into the secret room. It seems that they are indeed hunters.”
Yu Hanjiang pulled apart the clothes and indeed saw the familiar tattoos in different locations. They were complex patterns and shaped like a primitive tribe’s totem. Xie Qi curiously looked over using the Night Pearl. “It is the same as the Financial Crisis!”
Shao Qingge touched his chin. “It seems that all members of this organization have tattoos, like a symbol of loyalty?”
Old Mo nodded. “Yes, it is the symbol of the Hunter’s League.”
Yu Hanjiang stepped forward. He leaned toward one of them and raised this person’s chin. “If you fail in the mission, you will commit suicide. This is also a rule of the Hunter’s League, right? Is your boss worth your life? You killed so many foreigners and should get enough rewards, right? Don’t you think it is a pity to die before you can spend it?”
His sharp eyes swept over the faces of the three men in turn and he whispered, “If you are willing to give information on the Hunter’s League, I can let you go and a.s.sure your safety. Don’t you want to think about yourself and your family? Surely the three of you aren’t orphans with no relatives?”
Two of them looked grim and stared at Yu Hanjiang like a poisonous snake, almost boring a hole in Yu Hanjiang’s face. The young man on the left heard this and seemed to remember something. There was a hint of pain and contradiction in his eyes.
Yu Hanjiang had interrogated tens of thousands of suspects and could judge from their facial expressions whose mouth would be difficult to pry open, whose psychological quality wasn’t tough enough and who would easily explain. He looked at the young man on the very left. He was a young man in his early 20s whose youthfulness hadn’t faded. He should’ve just joined the Hunter’s League. More crucially, once he heard the word ‘family’, conflicted emotions flashed across the young man’s face. Apparently he had someone worth remembering, unlike the other two.
Yu Hanjiang glanced at Xiao Lou.”Control them and first deal with the toxins in their mouths.”
Xiao Lou might not be an oral doctor but the tooth with poison hidden wasn’t difficult to find. He carefully observed the person’s mouth and found that an upper left tooth had a slightly different colour from the surroundings. Moreover, the fit between this tooth and the gums wasn’t close. Obviously, it was a pa.s.sive operation. Xiao Lou concluded, “The upper left first premolar.”
Yu Hanjiang asked, “Can you take it out?”
Their teammates, “……”
Group Leader Yu’s thinking was too amazing. Was this the rhythm of pulling out teeth?
They thought Xiao Lou would refuse. As a result, Professor Xiao seriously thought about it and took out Compa.s.s. He drew a few small circles and put them together to make a disc. Then he cut a ring to make wire and fixed the metal wires to the disc.
After that, he cut a big circle and held the thin wires in his hand. He looked at Yu Hanjiang and said, “I’ll take out his tooth. Help me s.h.i.+ne the Night Peal to the top left of his mouth. I have to grab the teeth and I can’t let the toxins flow isn’t his mouth.”
Yu Hanjiang nodded. “Yes, I’ll help you.”
His right hand continued to squeeze the man’s jaw while his left hand raised the Night Pearl to help Xiao Lou. Xiao Lou picked up the disc and put it in the man’s mouth. His right gently covered the root of the tooth with the thin metal thread.
The hunter, who had his mouth forcibly opened, slightly changed expressions. Who was this? How come they were going to pull out his teeth on the spot? To his shock, Xiao Lou really accurately caught the poison tooth. He pulled it gently and the fragile tooth really ‘popped’ out. Xiao Lou quickly and accurately caught it.
Xiao Lou took the temporary utensil out and smiled at Yu Hanjiang. “Take it.”
Their teammates, “……”
They really wanted to get on their knees! Professor Xiao could do really extreme things with this S-grade Compa.s.s. First, he made a temporary furnace with it. Now he made a small disc to receive the poisonous tooth. He also used the thin wires as tools to do a tooth extraction on the spot?
Professor Xiao’s flexible thinking meant that perhaps later, he could use the metal rings to make iron pots, wash basins, chopsticks, flying saucers and other tools! Xie Qi couldn’t help giving a thumbs up. “I estimate that the person who designed this Compa.s.s card didn’t think this card could be used so much. Hahaha!”
Shao Qingge stated, “It is Professor Xiao’s on-site tooth extraction.”
Xiao Lou smiled. “The tooth was originally pulled out so it was easy.”
Liu Qiao looked at Xiao Lou with admiration.No wonder why so many people rushed to choose Professor Xiao’s cla.s.s at university. She had never seen Xiao Lou before and couldn’t understand. Now she finally understood…
Yu Hanjiang was accustomed to Xiao Lou’s wit and calmly took the small disc, looking at the tooth. “There is a sealed transparent capsule in the tooth that should be highly toxic. If the teeth breaks it then the poison will flow into the mouth.
Xiao Lou looked carefully at the nail-sized capsule. “It is likely to be pota.s.sium cyanide. This highly toxic substance will kill immediately. Even a trace of pota.s.sium cyanide touching a skin wound would lead to immediate death in humans. Group Leader Yu, be careful.”
Yu Hanjiang nodded. He took a plastic bag to wrap up the capsule and handed it to Old Mo. Old Mo looked at the poisoned tooth in his hand with disbelief. Others who heard the word ‘hunter’ would be pale with fright. After all, this group of thugs were like ghosts and killed without blinking. Challengers were likely to lose their lives after encountering them. As a result, these two big men… actually pulled out the teeth of a hunter on the spot?
