#86 - Chapter 86: First Encounter with the Red Sect
The night passed without incident.
Dongfang Chen woke up, stood up, and stretched.
A notification sound came from his ear. He opened his Digital Eye and saw a pile of call requests and unread messages.
They were all asking where he was. He didn't reply, but closed the dialogue window.
He was locked in a metal cage, his hands and feet originally bound. But these petty tricks couldn't hold him. In fact, for him, such a cage and such a basement couldn't trap him.
He was just waiting, waiting for the person who kidnapped him to come and see him.
He even felt a little excited and expectant, thinking this was more fun.
Before long, the door to the room opened. A person wearing a deep red cloak and a snow-white mask walked in, followed by several burly men.
As expected, it was the Crimson Robe Sect!
The group walked up to the cage holding Dongfang Chen and stopped. The masked person spoke:
"It seems you have some strength!"
One could hear that the masked person's voice was a bit hoarse.
"Your eyesight is good!" Dongfang Chen replied.
"Interesting. What's your name?"
"Before asking others, shouldn't you introduce yourself?" Dongfang Chen retorted.
"Everyone calls me Divine Envoy. You can call me Lord Divine Envoy," the masked person said.
"Divine Envoy? What a big flag to wave. You don't even dare to say your real name?" Dongfang Chen thought. So he said:
"Everyone calls me Boss. You can call me that too."
"Heh heh, young man, I'm afraid you haven't figured out your situation yet!" The Divine Envoy said with slight displeasure, half threateningly.
"Oh? Then tell me, what situation am I in?" Dongfang Chen retorted.
"You brat, I think your skin is itching!" A burly man beside him scolded.
The masked person raised a hand to stop him, then said:
"You all go out. I'll chat with him alone."
The burly men hesitated slightly, then bowed and said in unison:
"Yes!"
After speaking, they turned and went out, closing the door again.
"Young man, do you know why we invited you here?"
"Are you sure it's an invitation? Are the people of your Crimson Robe Sect so rude?"
"Oh? It seems you really know about the Crimson Robe Sect. Then things are much simpler. Did you kill Mei Wenhua?" The masked person went straight to the point.
"You've wronged me. Mei Wenhua was executed by the Suiyang Settlement. It has nothing to do with me," Dongfang Chen denied everything.
From this sentence, he understood that his exposure had something to do with the Suiyang Settlement.
"In my opinion, there's no difference. Mei Wenhua is a minor character. It doesn't matter if he dies. What I want to know is, how do you control those spiders?"
Dongfang Chen frowned. The question was a bit serious.
Were there people from the Crimson Robe Sect present at the time? How did they know about the spiders?
Clearly, the other party was deliberately asking this, implying that they had already grasped a lot of information about him.
The masked person observed the change in Dongfang Chen's expression and felt slightly pleased.
However, he quickly adjusted and said:
"You'll know this later. But I think it's much simpler than your Spirit Summoning Technique." Dongfang Chen used their own methods against them, also throwing out a clue.
"You know the Spirit Summoning Technique?" The masked person was obviously surprised and began to lose his composure.
"I don't know! I was just teasing you. Stop talking about these useless things. Tell me your purpose. I'm in a hurry and don't have time to waste here with you." Dongfang Chen retreated immediately. From the other party's performance, he determined that a character like the Divine Envoy was not a very high-ranking position in the Crimson Robe Sect, and he no longer had much interest in continuing the conversation.
"I originally wanted to develop you into the Crimson Robe Sect, but now it seems you know too much. I can't keep you!" The Divine Envoy said fiercely.
"Your Crimson Robe Sect doesn't have that much face, and you have even less," Dongfang Chen found it funny. It was truly like playing the little devil in front of the King of Hell, a shameful display.
"Prepare to die!" After the masked person finished speaking, he thrust his hands forward in the shape of claws.
At the same time, two blood-red curtains flew out from the deep red cloak behind him, one on the left and one on the right, towards Dongfang Chen's cage. The curtains were very wide and long, swirling and constantly wrapping around the cage, until the entire cage was wrapped like a rice dumpling.
The curtains emitted a faint bloody aura.
"Warning! A large amount of hallucinogens has been detected entering the body. The automatic decomposition program has been started."
"Liver function has been increased to 300%..."
"Heart function has been increased to 280%..."
"Blood flow rate has been increased to 200%..."
"Lung function has been suppressed to 30%..."
"..."
The panel in the Digital Eye automatically started, filled with red text and numerical prompts.
This was the vital sign monitoring system that Xiaolin had the special equipment research lab custom-made for Dongfang Chen. The entire system consisted of a central control unit the size of a capsule and 2 million nanobot sensors. These 2 million nanobot sensors were distributed throughout Dongfang Chen's various organs.
When some nanobot sensors detected abnormal vital signs, they would transmit the abnormal data to the central control unit. The central control unit would make specific responses based on the danger level and threat type, and issue instructions to the corresponding nanobot sensors.
After receiving the instructions, the nanobot sensors would perform the corresponding operations. For example, improving cardiopulmonary function, improving the metabolic function of organs, stimulating the lymphatic system, etc.
