Chapter 1163: Chapter 973: Turning the Tables_2

"Dumb Bird Observation Diary" indicates that as soon as Song Lan drinks alcohol, he will feel drowsy; it’s just unclear whether it’s due to the effects of alcohol or an act he puts on.

Lu Xiang’s words made the man tense up, his body stiffened in readiness for battle.

Could this woman have sensed something?

Before he could give it any further thought, Song Lan’s actions answered the question in his mind. With a "thud," Song Lan lay straight down, collapsing onto Lu Xiang’s lap.

"Wait a minute, this is a misunderstanding!"

There’s definitely no narcotic in this wine!

The man was so nervous that he almost blurted it out; although he certainly planned to use anti-Spiritual Energy devices to control the three of them and lock them up in a dungeon like other Psychics, he had not put any narcotics in the wine. Indeed, even the medication to suppress Psychic Abilities was designed to take effect with a delay, just to be safe.

"His alcohol tolerance is really bad. He falls asleep as soon as he drinks. I warned him not to drink."

This time, it was the man’s turn to feel strange.

These were clearly words of complaint, but he always felt that Lu Xiang seemed unusually happy when she said them, her right hand even stroking Song Lan’s hair as he fell asleep.

The man suddenly had a bizarre thought—Even if he didn’t do anything, this woman seemed to have planned to knock this young man out cold.

Wait a minute, are these three really friends?

"Phew, thanks to you, you’ve saved us a lot of trouble."

After confirming that Song Lan was completely asleep, Lu Xiang flicked her bangs, and her whole demeanor underwent a drastic change, "It really took us a lot of effort to gain his trust."

At the moment Song Lan fell, she thought of a new plan.

Torture-style interrogation might not extract reliable information from the man, so why not change the approach and let the other party lower his guard and share the intelligence with them?

However, this was not an easy task, especially since she had to convincingly perform her hatred for Song Lan and Psychics.

But for a top student who had undergone professional training by Morning Star, simulating emotions was no trouble at all.

Mentor Catherine had taught them method acting.

Just like now, Lu Xiang imagined herself having worked overtime at the Counter-Intelligence Department the whole day, returning home exhausted late at night, to be touched upon finding that Song Lan was still awake and had prepared her favorite shredded potatoes.

This originally heartwarming scene changed when she picked up her chopsticks.

The intensely spicy sensation made her belatedly realize that the plate was not filled with shredded potatoes, but shredded ginger.

At the same time, a schadenfreude smirk appeared on Song Lan’s face, who then pompously told her that he had hidden all the water and drinks in the house.

"Hisss—"

Lu Xiang drew in a cold breath, and her hand that was gently stroking Song Lan’s hair turned into a Nine Yin White Bone Claw shape due to the strong surge of emotion, as if the next moment she would leave several claw marks on his forehead.

The method acting achieved outstanding results.

Even though she knew very well that the scene just now was an illusion, it still made her furious, and her teeth-gritting look and chilling gaze successfully frightened the man.

"You guys..."

"To bring down this Devil Believer, we have been tracking him for several months."

An unexpected situation arose!

The man was shocked to the core, his mouth agape, yet he couldn’t make a sound for a long time.

After all that, it turns out they’re on the same side!

The term "Devil Believers" is the internal jargon used by The Keepers.

Lu Xiang cleverly exploited the time difference—there were still a few months before Benjamin Abell would publicly speak on the media, and at this point, the "Witch Hunt Movement" was still in its infancy, with few members in the organization.

It was only after she arrived at the villa that she recalled the identity of the middle-aged man, prompted by the "Sea of Souls".

"Bloody Executioner" - this was what the United Government called him after the conclusion of the Witch Hunt Movement. The man, for his bloody and cruel methods, in the face of public outrage, was sent to the guillotine, becoming one of the rare modern-era criminals to be publicly executed in front of a large audience.

He was one of the veteran members of The Keepers and was also the main funder during the early days of the organization’s establishment.

His identity as a corporate executive was incongruous with civilian organizations; later, there were many different rumors about his motives—some believed he joined The Keepers purely to vent his twisted, sadistic cravings, while others thought he had hated all psychics due to some experiences in his early years.

"Drugging the wine and food, and then using the anti-psychic field device to completely strip them of their ability to resist—it’s a good method, but why didn’t you kill them immediately instead of locking them up in the basement?"

The "Bloody Executioner" had converted the storage room in the basement of the villa into a dungeon during the Witch Hunt Movement, where he subjected psychic ability users to inhumane torture. The remaining photographs and video materials cast a psychological shadow on many investigators, and as late as 2167, there were rumors that the resentment of the psychic ability users could not fade away, causing frequent hauntings in the villa area.

"Killing them all at once would have been too easy on them."

The man’s tone immediately darkened, yet excitement surged within him; he had never before encountered someone who could sit and discuss his thoughts, "Were you sent by Benjamin?"

"We just have a temporary convergence of objectives."

"Eliminate the psychic ability users."

The man blurted out The Keepers’ ultimate goal without a second thought. They were a noble organization fighting against the Devil Believers, and also those who had recognized the true nature of psychic ability users before anyone else. He coldly glanced at Song Lan and asked, "What did this kid do to have you track him for months?"

"Just look at his current state, and you can probably imagine."

Lu Xiang glanced over at "Emperor," who was in a state of confusion.

The turn of events had also caught him off guard. Those transformed artificial eyes emitted a confused pale blue glow. They hadn’t discussed any plan beforehand, and he genuinely couldn’t figure out how Lu Xiang came up with all these arguments just from Song Lan’s drunkenness.

And now, this hot potato was thrown to him.

Lu Xiang and the man watched him, waiting for him to reveal the various brutalities Song Lan inflicted on him.

"This man is a devil."

He was not adept at lying, and he preferred to act openly and honorably. After a long silence, "Emperor" finally had a burst of inspiration and, in front of both of them, opened the door of the mini-fridge and said with grief and indignation, "This is what he did, just to satisfy his own vile taste, he turned a true warrior into this!"

"What a heinous crime!"

The man was deeply affected and cursed through gritted teeth. If it weren’t for the fact that this heinous Devil Believer was now lying on Lu Xiang’s lap, he would have splashed the red wine in his cup on his face!

"Lock him up in the dungeon, I have prepared many torture devices there."

"It’s not the time yet."

Lu Xiang said, "This person has deep ties with a certain psychic, we approached him to extract information about the crime syndicate."

"Psychic crime syndicate!?"

Upon hearing this, the man straightened his body, his eyes lighting up, "What’s their background?"

"That’s an international psychic crime organization, with many names you might be familiar with, ’Tyrant’ Esinvig, ’Hades’—these notorious international criminals, are members of the organization, and this person, is the contact that the organization has planted within the United Government territory."

"To go against those people, it’s not something that can be achieved with just two or three individuals."

"That’s right, hence we’re currently raising funds and securing secret bases."

Lu Xiang feigned difficulty, "It would be great if we could find someone to provide funding."
