Chapter 54: Chapter 54: Brainwashing Chamber

Mountain Eagle’s exceptional situational awareness allowed him to move effortlessly without having to worry about his rear. His pace was slow, yet every action flowed seamlessly.

When he approached the eastern staircase, he discovered the body of a Myanmar person lying on the ground.

The narrow staircase was blocked by a sofa at the corner, behind which a terrified security guard was hunkered down, gun aimed tightly at the stairway entrance on the first floor.

Mountain Eagle did not wish to kill needlessly. He pressed against the corridor wall and pulled out his Police C badge, poking his head into the hallway and shouted loudly, "Don’t shoot, I am Police C..."

To his surprise, the security guard on the first and a half floor did not heed his words and fired two shots at him.

The bullets struck the corner of the wall, sending fragments flying, causing Mountain Eagle to grunt.

Not wanting to waste time, Mountain Eagle pulled out a shock bomb and amid the screams of the horrified security guard, he threw it into the stairway...

"Boom"

The confined space of the staircase amplified the effect of the shock bomb, knocking the frightened security guard unconscious instantly.

Mountain Eagle turned and charged through the stairwell, arriving in front of a heavy wooden door.

He tried turning the doorknob but found it locked from inside...

He knocked forcefully on the door several times, receiving no response. The Hummingbird Kit was unable to accurately detect the conditions inside, showing only blurred images. Resolutely, he raised his M2 and fired three shots at the positions above and below the door latch, then slowly pushed open the wooden door while leaning against the wall...

The moment the wooden door opened, a piercing white light leaked out, followed by a series of screams...

Mountain Eagle frowned and stormed in, spotting two young people in white attire hiding behind a golden chair.

A few women in white servant outfits, expressionless yet as loyal as guards, stood in front of the golden chair.

Mountain Eagle’s target, Basong’s daughter, was chained by the neck, akin to a dog, tethered to the right side of the golden chair.

On the sides of the basement against the walls, another dozen young women dressed as servants crouched in the corners, clutching their heads and screaming loudly.

Looking at the wall behind the golden chair, with marble inlays, hung a painting of Buddha with Adakuan’s head replacing Buddha’s, surrounded by strange symbols drawn in red paint...

If this wasn’t a cult headquarters, Mountain Eagle felt he could discard his own eyes!

Faced with this scene, Mountain Eagle raised his gun and shouted loudly, "Everyone be quiet, I am Police C, I’m here to rescue you..."

Mountain Eagle’s English did not resonate much; instead, a young man behind the golden chair stood up, holding a golden scepter, and shouted loudly, "We don’t need your rescue, close the door, the Divine Master will protect us from harm..."

Hearing this, Mountain Eagle glanced again at the portrait on the wall...

Buddha’s body was Photoshopped to have Adakuan’s face, and funnily, it also bore a pair of black-framed glasses similar to those worn by Li Shoufu.

Adakuan really knew how to brainwash people!

Watching the young man in white holding the scepter and yelling fervently, Mountain Eagle raised his M2 and fired a shot into the ceiling...

With a loud "bang", everyone instinctively covered their ears, and the women at the sides of the walls screamed even louder...

Seeing the young man in white frightened and falling on his backside, Mountain Eagle quickly stepped up to the podium...

"Did your Divine Master not tell you to be more careful when dealing with someone with a gun?"

The two young men behind the golden chair seemed to be brothers; the older one sat on the ground, loudly declaring he was not afraid, as the Divine Master would punish those who harmed him.

The younger one merely hugged his head and crouched under the chair, so terrified that he urinated his pants.

Several brave-looking female guards confronted Mountain Eagle, puffing out their chests to stop him from advancing.

Mountain Eagle had seen what people brainwashed by the Cult looked like, and impatiently reached out to push aside one of the obstructive women, only for his action to seem like triggering some sort of switch...

"Ah..."

Six women screamed simultaneously, pouncing on Mountain Eagle like mad, clinging to his body, scratching and biting.

Mountain Eagle really didn’t want to kill these women, so he raised his M2 and swung its butt, knocking two of the women on their heads, sending them off to dreamland.

After clearing some space, Mountain Eagle held his gun in his left hand and threw a series of heavy punches with his right, knocking the remaining women to the ground.

Seeing a woman lying on the ground gripping his trousers desperately, as if she would do anything for the Divine Master, Mountain Eagle gently kicked her nape, sending her into a baby-like sleep.

Mountain Eagle broke through and reached the Gold chair, his heart sinking the moment he touched the armrest of the chair.

It wasn’t the luxurious Gold throne it appeared to be, merely coated with a layer of gold...

Disappointed, Mountain Eagle abandoned the idea of scraping off the coating, drew his dagger, cut the leather collar off Basong’s daughter’s neck, pulled out his credentials and shook them in front of her, saying, "I’m Police, you’re safe now..."

Basong’s daughter slumped next to the chair, staring unfocusedly ahead, her right hand moving as if chasing something, continuously waving beside her.

Clearly, she had been given Hallucinogens, Mountain Eagle frowned deeply as he grabbed the young man who had wet his pants and asked loudly, "What did you give her?"

The young man curled up, gesticulating and begging for mercy...

"I didn’t, I didn’t, I know nothing..."

While the young man was talking nonsense, an older man beside him shouted, "That is the Spiritual Medicine the Divine Master gave her. After taking 15 doses, she will become the Divine Master’s Holy Daughter and will enjoy the most wonderful life one can have..."

Looking at that guy’s deep eye bags and sunken cheeks, if he wasn’t a hardcore addict, Mountain Eagle felt he could discard his own eyes.

Drugs—let alone 15 doses, even one or two can make a weak-willed person addicted!

Mountain Eagle roughly understood what was going on...

Adakuan was buying women and imprisoning them here, using drugs to control them and then brainwashing them with the Cult to satisfy his delusional fantasies.

The maids in the manor might also be followers, perhaps not ’chosen’ just because they were less attractive...

She probably didn’t think Adakuan was harming these women, nor cared whether the women were suffering; she might even envy those brainwashed women who lived a clean, carefree life.

The women lying unconscious on the ground clearly had their brains washed out, while those who still knew fear might still be saved.

Having declared his Police identity, Mountain Eagle couldn’t go on a killing spree, so he grabbed the radio and said, "This is Mountain Eagle, I’ve found Basong’s daughter..."

Looking at the girl with a dull gaze, he slightly shook his head, then somewhat dissatisfiedly said, "How much longer are you guys going to take?"

Just as Mountain Eagle finished speaking, Tessa’s voice came through the earpiece...

Amid various chaotic shouts and gunfire, Tessa shouted loudly, "Mountain, hold on, the 191 Special Forces have breached the manor and are moving towards the main building...

Protect Basong’s daughter, we’ll be there soon!"

"You?"

Upon hearing this, Mountain Eagle, anxiously holding the radio, said, "What are you doing here? It’s safe here, just stay at the back..."

"Boom"

As Mountain Eagle spoke, a fierce explosion occurred on the first floor of the manor, followed by a sudden burst of fire...
