“Tell me, how did you remind yourself to call me on time?” Zhushi Jiu asked, receiving a long, awkward silence in response.
Zhushi Jiu’s tone turned cold. “Can’t answer in a timely manner, or do you need to consult with someone beside you?”
He wanted the other person to feel the pressure of his tone, the same kind of pressure he had experienced when conversing with the Black Soldier organization’s man. It was as if he was being suffocated, with every move tightly controlled.
After a long pause, Bro CD finally responded with difficulty, “I set a reminder alarm, but I let my guard down for a moment and didn’t notice…”
Zhushi Jiu cut him off, taking control of the conversation. “—Resulting in your carelessness, you didn’t hear the alarm or notice the time… Do you want to explain it like that?”
Bro CD: “…”
“It’s too forced.”
Zhushi Jiu didn’t explain why it was forced, but his confident tone spoke for itself.
He hadn’t forgotten the most important thing: confirming the existence of an organization capable of counteracting the Black Soldiers. Now that he had confirmed Bro CD wasn’t under hypnosis and was in a state of disarray, his mind was almost at ease.
The next step was to force the other party to reveal themselves.
How? Just make Bro CD crack, and the person on the other end would come out.
Zhushi Jiu didn’t give Bro CD time to think, accelerating his questioning. “After I called you, it took you nearly forty seconds to answer. Why? Was it because your phone’s volume was too low, so you didn’t hear it?”
“And, you clearly knew your last task for tonight was to contact me, yet you were so careless when we spoke at eight o’clock. This doesn’t add up.”
Bro CD was overwhelmed by the questions, his voice trembling. “I…I…”
“The post on the forum was closed at eight o’clock, and you reported it to me. I told you to pay attention to subsequent events, but now you’re not mentioning it at all. Is it because the people around you don’t know about our conversation, so they’re not daring to answer easily?”
Bro CD’s voice was laced with despair. “Boss…”
Zhushi Jiu coldly pointed this out, dealing the final blow. “Your voice is trembling with fear, and you can’t have a calm conversation. You’re stuttering and contradicting yourself… At least I’m certain the person beside you is an idiot, trying to fool me with such incompetence.”
Zhushi Jiu had finally taken pleasure in this simple provocation, trying to stir up the anger of the person on the other end. However, Bro CD still refused to reveal anything, only pleading, “Boss, please don’t say anything else, I beg you…”
He felt that if Zhushi Jiu continued to speak, his life would be in danger.
At this moment, a man’s voice interrupted Bro CD’s desperate plea.
“—Hello, Zhushi Jiu.”
Zhushi Jiu’s grip on his phone tightened, and his eyes lit up!
This voice wasn’t that man’s!
The voice sounded younger, with a hint of subtle anger, as if being easily provoked by his words. It was vastly different from the middle-aged man’s style in the Black Soldier organization.
Zhushi Jiu had almost instantly judged that the person on the other end wasn’t from the Black Soldier organization.
As for the man addressing him by name, Zhushi Jiu wasn’t surprised, responding calmly, “Hello, how should I address you?”
“You don’t seem surprised?”
“There’s no need to be surprised. Since you were able to find Wang Ruo Bai before those people, it means your intelligence capabilities far surpass theirs. It’s not difficult for you to investigate who I am, especially since I’m using my real phone number.”
The man on the other end was silent for a moment, seemingly still astonished by Zhushi Jiu’s calmness.
Zhushi Jiu was getting impatient, asking directly, “Do you want to waste more time chatting with me about these trivial matters?”
The man finally broke his silence, asking, “Why did you release those two images online?”
This was a question to gauge his stance.
Zhushi Jiu immediately understood the meaning behind the man’s question. However, he didn’t respond, instead countering, “Why don’t you ask me how I encountered those people? If you’ve investigated me, you should know I was just an ordinary college student on the surface until today.”
The man’s response was cryptic: “Our intelligence capabilities are more excellent than you imagine.” The words seemed to imply that they knew many things.
…Bullshit!
It was clear that this person was playing the same game of bluffing as him.
Zhushi Jiu mentally retorted.
His ability to reverse-engineer was his greatest secret, his ultimate trump card. As long as they couldn’t figure out how he transformed from an ordinary college student to a rebel against the Black Soldier organization, the conversation would continue until this question was resolved.
The man continued, “Tell me, why did you release those images online?”
“Because I want you to stop them.”
Zhushi Jiu directly stated his purpose, without beating around the bush.
It seemed that a bright future was within reach, and he could finally unload the burden on his shoulders, letting these people take care of stopping the Black Soldiers. He only needed to wait for tomorrow’s doomsday to pass.
However, before that, the massive doubts in his heart needed to be resolved. He needed to seize this opportunity to gain a large amount of previously unknown information, allowing him to dispel the mist and uncover the truth.
As the enemies of the Black Soldiers, they must possess more detailed information about the Black Soldiers, the doomsday-level superweapon, and tomorrow’s doomsday.
The plot was finally about to unfold~
