......
"Damn it, the Hehuan Sect actually abducted so many decent women to assist them in these illegal activities?"
Jiang Lu looked at the photos of missing persons found according to the information provided by the witch, and felt terrified:
"So, the chicks she mentioned at the train station weren't the fast-food chicks I thought they were. They were all top-notch resources?!"
"Ah, why do I hear regret in your tone?" The director pursed his lips with a strange expression.
"I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense." Jiang Lu denied it three times in a row.
After a short silence, Jiang Lu asked, "But if, I mean if, I didn't have a conflict with her at the time, but really went there, I should be considered a victim, right?"
"Strictly speaking..." The director thought for a moment and nodded: "Yes, after all, its nature is quite special."
"Damn it!" Jiang Lu punched the air hard.
"No matter what, your idea is still too naive, isn't it?" Dong Wanggong couldn't help but complain: "People have been brainwashed, and you still want to take advantage of them?"
"You have no level of words."
Jiang Lu shook his head and thought carefully about the logic:
"It is because they have been brainwashed that I have no sense of guilt, because the body is only a window to the soul, and since their souls are not their own at this moment, then of course I am not having sex with them.
How to explain it? Oh, I figured it out.
It is equivalent to the house having been rented out by the landlord. Then the dispute between me and the sub-landlord has nothing to do with the landlord himself. Do you understand what I mean?"
The director felt something was wrong the more he listened: "No, you still regret not going..."
"You'll regret it, after all, they will be rescued and sent to the law enforcement bureau by then." Jiang Lu said indifferently.
"?" The director was startled, and immediately whispered to the person beside him: "Don't let him participate in the rescue operation, and don't let him have any contact with the rescued people."
As for why Jiang Lu suddenly became so unbridled, it was naturally because his companions had already gone to the scenic hotel to rest, and only he, as the law enforcement officer and the person involved, had to stay here to follow the progress.
At this time, the only companion left by his side was Dong Wanggong.
The reason why they wanted to keep him was, firstly, because he was the ceiling of the team's combat power, and keeping him here could protect Jiang Lu's safety in case of emergency, and the second reason was Jiang Lu's bad taste.
After learning from a casual chat on the train that Dong Wanggong possessed the ability to erase other people's memories, he wanted to see when the people from the Kunlun Law Enforcement Bureau would discover that this was a fugitive.
Although the director was somewhat reluctant to let an irrelevant person get involved in the case, but considering that it was Dong Wanggong who fought with and subdued the Hehuan Sect's demon girl, and after investigation he found that the Hehuan Sect's demon girl was actually a cultivator in the fusion stage, the director let him go.
After all, there are no cultivators in the fusion stage among the permanent law enforcement officers of the Kunlun Law Enforcement Bureau. If there are any emergencies, they have to go to the Sanqing Temple, the headquarters or Kunlun Mountain to ask for help. But after all, distant water cannot quench immediate thirst, and it is always a good thing to have someone who can take over.
In short, it is not known whether the evil woman from the Hehuan Sect was so unscrupulous and not afraid of the law enforcement bureau at all, or whether she recognized her fate, or whether she had some other conspiracy. Anyway, the interrogation went very smoothly, and she answered almost everything she was asked, and soon the interrogator obtained all the confessions he needed.
After completing the interrogation, the witch suddenly looked at the one-way glass in the interrogation room. Her staring eyes seemed to be able to see through the glass made of special materials that could block the cultivator's ability to see objects from a distance.
Jiang Lu, who was outside the interrogation room, noticed this, narrowed his eyes, and said to the director who was checking the latest intelligence in his hands: "She... seems to be looking at us."
Upon hearing this, the director said firmly: "Impossible, this is one-way glass, the standard material of the Law Enforcement Bureau. Even if she is a great cultivator who has passed the tribulation, there is no way she can see through it."
"But she is clearly looking at us." Jiang Lu remained confident.
When Dong Wanggong heard this, he also looked at her and found that the demon woman did not look away, and there seemed to be some amusement in her eyes. He also felt it was a bit strange: "It seems to be true."
"And she was winking at me. I felt like she was interested in me." Jiang Lu continued.
"It seems really...really not, right?"
"She is clearly making eyes. Look at her eyes, they are almost thread-like. She is clearly trying to seduce me and wants me to go in and subdue her right now."
"Isn't this really a provocation?" Dong Wanggong was speechless.
The director beside him also tilted his head with a confused expression and reminded: "I'm still here."
"Hehe." Jiang Lu raised his lips and said confidently, "We'll know after we give it a try."
After saying that, he extended his index finger and placed it against his lips, with a charming look on his face, alluring and hot like a succubus. He then extended his pink tongue, gently raised the tip of his tongue, licked his fingers, dipped his saliva all over his fingertips, then squinted his eyes, smiled evilly, pressed his index finger on the glass, and drew a heart for the witch.
Dong Wanggong, the director, and the interrogator who had just come out of the interrogation room all felt greatly violated when watching this scene. Just standing next to Jiang Lu made them feel dirty, and their brains were filled with strong alkali.
The witch's expression changed from provocation and mockery to confusion, and finally to disgust after she reacted. It was as if she was looking at garbage, but with a hint of fear. To round it off, it was probably the same as looking at a large pile of shit flying towards her.
Seeing her reaction, Jiang Lu felt incomprehensible. Then he looked like he had been hit hard. He fell to his knees helplessly and pounded on the glass: "Kuso! Are you really not seducing me?!"
"Ah, isn't this nonsense?"
"But..." The director was a little unbelievable: "She seems to be able to see us."
Before he could confirm further, he saw the witch waving at them, and then her voice was transmitted to the room they were in through the voice transmission equipment.
"I have told you everything I need to tell you. I am leaving now. Whether you can rescue them depends on the ability of your law enforcement department."
"What do you mean?" The director was stunned and was about to rush into the interrogation room.
But the next second, a cloud of smoke rose from under the feet of the witch and enveloped her.
"Don't you have a long memory?"
Dong Wanggong reacted instantly and stretched out his hand to repeat the same trick and catch her back, but strangely, he failed this time.
His expression changed, and he immediately discovered the problem: "This time she didn't run away on her own, but someone forcibly grabbed her from somewhere else. She was too fast, and I didn't have time to seal the space around her!"
Several people watched helplessly as the witch disappeared into the interrogation room.
Blessings are unparalleled, and misfortunes do not come singly.
At the same time, the front line, which had received intelligence earlier and went to rescue the victims, also sent back the news.
They were not only brainwashed, but also reformed. Not only did they indiscriminately attack law enforcement officers and agents, but when they found they could not win, they actually committed suicide on the spot. What was worse was that the Hehuan Sect even arranged for live broadcast equipment to broadcast the entire process, so all the people saw the law enforcement bureau "massacre" the victims.
Upon hearing the news, Jiang Lu's face changed and he frowned, "Fortunately I didn't go."
Chapter 337 Let’s live together
It was unknown how the images in the stronghold were accurately projected onto every screen in Kunlun Town. Big screens, mobile phones, and even roadside billboards were all broadcasting real-time images from the stronghold.
A mocking voice accompanied the picture at the right time.
"Oh my, is this the way the Enforcement Bureau suppresses people? So as long as they are ordinary people who have no ability to resist, they can empty the magazine without any investigation?"
Judging from the images transmitted from inside the base, the victims were just ordinary people who had no ability to resist, but they suddenly died the moment they approached the law enforcement officers and agents.
The victims were still tied with ropes, and it was obvious that they were hostages who needed to be rescued, but they were still crying in fear and dying quickly. Especially when hearing the voice-over, this scene naturally made people feel that the law enforcement agency was indiscriminately killing people.
The evil cultivators slaughtering ordinary people might worry the people, but it would not make them panic. However, if the people wielding the butcher knife were the law enforcement agency that had always guaranteed their safety, then the nature of the situation would be completely different.
It was not until this time that everyone finally realized why the witch from the Hehuan Sect gave up all the information so easily.
She didn't have a change of heart or realize that she had no choice. Instead, she wanted the people from the Law Enforcement Bureau to enter the Hehuan Sect's base and then use the victims to undermine the credibility of the Law Enforcement Bureau.
"What a clumsy attempt to sow discord." Jiang Lu couldn't help but complain: "Will anyone really believe this?"
"It's very crude, but based on my experience, it's also very effective..." The director looked solemn, as if he already knew what kind of storm he was about to face.
The subsequent development of events was just as he expected, and it led to a situation that he had no control over at all.
Admittedly, the Hehuan Sect had a very crude beginning, and if you look into it in depth you will find many flaws.
But there are always people who like to watch the fun and try to make the water even more turbid.
The media who are willing to take advantage of others for traffic, the conflicting interests that have long been dissatisfied with the law enforcement agencies and will jump out at the first opportunity, as well as the keyboard warriors and some conspiracy theorists who are keen to show their presence by showing their unique insights and unconventional ways.
These various groups are enough to confuse the public and make those who are already confused even more wavering.
In fact, no one cares what the truth is. After all, they were not the ones being slaughtered. What they can get from this incident is what they care about.
The Hehuan Sect took advantage of this point and was able to cause such a huge uproar with such a clumsy layout.
"It's really strange. I don't know why they do this. It won't benefit the Hehuan Sect at all, right? Even if the credibility of the Law Enforcement Bureau is completely damaged, their activities cannot be legal."
At the emergency press conference of the Law Enforcement Bureau, Jiang Lu, who was in the backstage, peeked at the situation in front and said puzzledly.
However, the Dong Wanggong beside him seemed to realize something and murmured to himself: "I feel... I should understand."
"What do you unserstand?"
Dong Wanggong showed hesitation: "But I don't know if my guess is correct."
Seeing him being so fussy, Jiang Lu, who was curious and had his appetite whetted, urged him anxiously, "Just tell me quickly, it's urgent."
"Remember what I told you about the casino?"
"The casino..." Jiang Lu thought for a moment and said, "You confessed a lot of things. Which one did you say?"
"It was because I was guided by Yuanshi Tianzun that I opened a casino in the mortal world."
"Oh, you're talking about this." Jiang Lu was a little confused: "So what?"
Dong Wanggong hesitated a little: "I feel that the situations on both sides are somewhat similar. The Hehuan Sect... seems to have done something that I couldn't do."
"What couldn't be done?"
Dong Wanggong sighed and finally revealed everything: "If we follow the original plan, the ending of Nanjiang City... no, all cities with casinos should be the same as the current Kunlun Town.
Although I probably wouldn't choose such an extreme method, in the end both the Law Enforcement Bureau and Sanqing Temple would definitely lose a great deal of credibility.
Although the Law Enforcement Bureau is currently bearing the brunt of the impact in Kunlun Town, if this incident is not handled properly, Sanqing Temple will certainly be to blame as well, and the fire will sooner or later spread to them."
Jiang Lu was stunned: "Uh... I thought your ultimate goal at that time was to make people addicted to gambling..."
"Getting people addicted to gambling is a means, not an end."
Dong Wanggong explained:
"The ultimate goal is to make these people go down a path of no return, leaving them with no choice but to stand against Sanqing Temple and the law enforcement bureau.
Once the situation is formed, whether it is because there are too many people like this, Sanqing Temple and the law enforcement bureau choose to condone them or not to condone them at all, thus causing greater conflicts and involving more victims, they will no longer be high and mighty in the end, but will be knocked off the altar and receive mixed praise and criticism. "
Jiang Lu seemed to be thinking about something, and asked as if to verify it: "Yuanshi Tianzun... wants a chaotic world?"
"I don't know whether it's a chaotic world or not, but he must be dissatisfied with the current state of the Three Pure Ones Realm and wants to change it."
Dong Wanggong paused, then continued:
"Or maybe there was some reason that forced him to plan all this."
"I don't understand." Jiang Lu was confused: "If he really wanted to break the existing situation, why would he go through so much trouble? With his methods, even if he was dissatisfied with Sanqing Temple, he could just say one word to get them off work, right?"
"It's not that simple. According to what you said, when he showed up in the early stages of the Conferred Gods War, King Zhou should have abdicated. What do other immortals have to do with it?"
"That's not a problem." Jiang Lu nodded when he heard that.
