#682 - Chapter 682 Don’t Talk Nonsense Here
"Jiang Ziya? We don't have anyone like that here," the security guard said, finding it a bit funny.
What era is this? Still talking about Jiang Ziya.
The masked man was suspicious.
What he said didn't sound fake.
His tone was very disrespectful. If he was intentionally hiding something, he wouldn't have said it like that.
He now realized that he might have been misled.
Since the person he was looking for wasn't here, he turned around to leave.
"Want to leave? Impossible!" The security guard charged forward.
The masked man had Rank 8 strength, but his movements were skilled. The security guard had Rank 9 strength, but lacked experience.
In a one-on-one fight, they might have been evenly matched.
But now the security guard had the mech and the spaceship base as helpers, and the situation was completely different.
The masked man's moves were constantly interrupted, forcing him to retreat.
"Bind!" the security guard commanded.
The mech suddenly shot out a metal ring that landed directly on his neck.
Zhang Jue was terrified, but too busy defending to block it.
He tried to pull the metal ring off, but once it was on his neck, it locked in place and couldn't be removed.
"Creak~"
After locking, three needles appeared on the inner wall of the ring, piercing directly into his flesh.
Zhang Jue quickly lost his fighting ability and was captured.
This metal ring was specially prepared for cultivators, and it contained a certain amount of reagent.
This reagent could hinder the energy circulation of the core within the body, preventing cultivators from mobilizing that energy.
This was the second side-effect-free ability suppression solution provided by Xiaolin.
The metal ring itself was a small robot with some self-navigation ability, which greatly improved the hit rate of attacks.
"Take him away!" the security guard ordered.
Zhang Jue was taken directly to the interrogation room.
"Name!" the security guard asked.
"What did you do to me?" Zhang Jue asked weakly.
"We just temporarily suppressed your abilities. The mistake you made isn't that big. I hope you can cooperate with the investigation. If you don't cooperate, you might permanently become an ordinary person," the security guard said patiently.
He only injured a few students. As long as he admitted his mistakes and compensated for the losses, he would naturally be allowed to leave.
"Ask away," Zhang Jue said.
He knew he had come to the wrong place today, and it wasn't worth losing his life here.
"Name!"
"Zhang Jue."
"Zhang as in bow and long?"
"Zhang as in article, Jue as in absolute."
"Where are you from?"
"Hushan."
"Hushan? Where do you live now?" The security guard was a little surprised.
Besides the underground base in Binjiang City, Hushan Province had no other human settlements.
But the Binjiang underground base had always belonged to the Huatong Chamber of Commerce and the Mercenary Guild, so it was impossible for someone like this to exist there.
"I currently live in Qizhou," Zhang Jue replied.
Qizhou City was the capital of Dongzhou Province and currently had four underground bases.
"Who is Jiang Ziya, and why would he be here?" the security guard asked.
He didn't think this Jiang Ziya was the historical Jiang Ziya.
"This Jiang Ziya is the Jiang Ziya you know," Zhang Jue said.
"I know? What do you mean?" The security guard frowned.
"Jiang Taigong, Jiang Ziya," Zhang Jue said.
"Jiang Taigong? You came here looking for Jiang Taigong? I advise you to honestly confess your problems, don't talk nonsense here!" The security guard slammed the table, warning him.
"I'm not talking nonsense. I heard that Jiang Ziya was at Hongmeng Academy, so I came here to find him," Zhang Jue said, feeling depressed that no one believed him when he was telling the truth.
"Are you taking me for a fool? Look at me, please, do I look that stupid? When did Jiang Taigong live? Do you think I don't know?"
"If you want to find Jiang Ziya, you should take a space-time spaceship," the security guard said.
"Heh heh, you're really humorous. Don't you know that Jiang Ziya is still alive?" Zhang Jue said with a mocking look.
"What? Are you kidding me?" The security guard was stunned.
The person in front of him was definitely a madman.
But at that moment, a message came through his digital eye.
"System prompt: You are currently discussing confidential matters. Please stop the interrogation and report it immediately."
The security guard was dumbfounded, feeling like he was dreaming.
But since he had received a system prompt, it meant that there must be something unknown hidden here. So he didn't dare to delay and immediately reported it.
When Dongfang Chen received the message, he felt very strange.
He felt like someone was orchestrating things behind the scenes.
An unidentified cultivator went to Hongmeng Academy to challenge them for no reason and immediately asked for Jiang Ziya. This meant that either this person had a problem, or someone was deliberately misleading him.
Since cultivators existed, then Jiang Ziya could naturally exist. In other words, this Zhang Jue must have been misled.
But why would someone want to mislead him? What was the purpose?
