Chapter 435: Make a Mistake and Pass the Blame First
"Dong~~"
With the quick response of the Secret Guard Party, a container engraved with sealing patterns was delivered to the internal square of the Secret Guard Party.
Not far away, Li Zhongren was still wearing handcuffs and shackles.
A layer of light green light appeared on the square, forming an arc-shaped barrier.
This is also a product of the Empire's alchemical technology.
Sealing barrier.
Within this barrier, there are no restrictions on the use of abilities, but the space inside and outside is sealed and cannot be left.
The purpose is to restrict certain people from escaping.
However, because of Li Zhongren's ability, it is suspected to be a spatial ability.
So, he was also fed a metal pill.
The pill would attach itself to the stomach and, once a switch was pressed, release a solution of forbidden metal.
Of course, I can’t say that this is 100% true.
In fact, throughout the history of the empire, the means of detaining high-ranking transcendents have always been limited, and killing is the best solution.
But the man in front of him did not run away when he was caught, which means that his ability is flawed.
There's no need to be too nervous.
"let's start."
Gonsarev patted the container not far away. There were dense patterns painted on it, making the entire container look as if it was a whole. In fact, in a sense, it was a scaled-down version of the forbidden barrier that now enveloped this place. It could even block spatial abilities, but it would break at the slightest touch. The problem with the container was obvious.
"Remember, don't play tricks, otherwise, you will die miserably."
"Ah."
Li Zhongren nodded.
Look aside.
"What am I going to transfer into this?"
"this one."
Gonsarev pointed to a wooden box nearby and transferred the box into the container without damaging it.
"it is good."
Li Zhongren nodded and looked at the secret guard beside him. He took out the key and opened the anti-magic collar on Li Zhongren's neck. The moment the needle that pierced the skin was pulled out, blood also flowed out. However, because the needle was special and the insertion position was also selected, the bleeding stopped by itself soon.
Li Zhongren took a deep breath.
He came to the wooden box, touched it gently with one hand, and had an idea.
In front of him, a worm suddenly appeared out of thin air. It had a translucent body and a worm-like appearance, but it had wings and floated in the air weightlessly.
"Eat it."
At Li Zhongren's command, one of the worms opened its mouth wide and swallowed the wooden box.
In an instant, the insect's body became thick and a box appeared directly in its stomach.
Transfer the boxes into the container.
Under Li Zhongren's command, the insect floated to the side of the container, seeming to mutter something.
Then, in just a blink of an eye.
The box disappeared.
To be precise, it seemed as if a different insect had appeared, and this one looked a little different from the previous one.
This is the male insect.
The one that can devour things is the queen insect.
"It worked, sir."
"How did you do it?"
This scene really surprised Gonsarev.
"They are my contracted summons. I don't know where they came from, but it's as if they are born with a connection to me."
"This one is a male insect. It can appear in any position under the will of the female insect, regardless of whether there is any obstruction. Then the two insects can exchange positions in an instant."
"Check the seal."
Gonsarev nodded and looked at his men beside him.
"Yes, supervisor."
"Reporting to the supervisor, there is no problem with the seal."
"Kaifeng."
"Yes."
The container was slowly opened.
In the dark space, as the light came in, Gonsarev saw the wooden box, which was parked steadily inside. He was the one who chose the wooden box, and he was there the whole time when the container was sealed.
So no one can cheat.
In other words.
Everything this guy said was true.
"Ding~~"
"Your entry "Phase Mayfly Summoner" is triggered and used, gaining experience"
"Ding~~"
"Your entry "Phase Mayfly Summoner" has been upgraded"
"The current level is 3."

Property 3: The summoned Phase Mayfly can sacrifice itself to fix the coordinates. As long as these coordinates are not destroyed, they can always be used as teleportation coordinates.
"Ding~"
"Your entry "Mysterious Person" is used to trigger the use and gain experience"
"Tip: The Mysterious Person entry is triggered in a special way. You must make the other party's suspicions come true in order to gain experience."
"Ding~"
"Your entry "Mysterious Person" has been upgraded"
The current level is level 5.

Attribute 1: +25 Spirit, +25 Mystic.
Attribute 2: Any suspicious incident that is causally related to you increases your chances of being suspected by 100%.

Attribute 4: Active skill, Shadow Hide. You can hide in the shadows and can actively break away from and interrupt all mysterious monitoring, prediction, and tracking methods.
Attribute 5: Mystery descends and turns into mystery itself. Duration: [(25+15)*(25+15)/100 seconds]. During the duration, the enemy's fear, uncertainty, doubt, and other emotions will become your strength and weapon.
"Awesome, now we can ship it."
When he saw this thing, Li Zhongren's calm eyes showed a hint of excitement.
With it, you have a trump card.
Simply put, the highest level of an entry is level five. Unless there are special circumstances, such as encountering certain special phenomena, the entry must be upgraded. Otherwise, this level cannot be changed and other entries cannot be swallowed.
Moreover, after reaching level five, you will gain an ultimate skill.
Like a mysterious person, his ultimate skill is this mysterious arrival.
In layman's terms, it is a skill that allows a person to transform. As for the specific effect of the skill, it is still a lie. The smarter and more thoughtful a person is, the more powerful the transformation will become, and it can even prolong the duration of the transformation.
"We've harvested enough, it's time to withdraw."
Li Zhongren looked around inconspicuously. The Secret Guards were still immersed in the joy of finding clues. In the short term, they would not have any extra thoughts about themselves. It was not realistic to want to gather entries. Also, if he stayed, he would have to get a Secret Guard tattoo on his body.
A symbol, but also a confinement.
Similar to a contract.
Once signed, you will be a dog of the Secret Guard Party for the rest of your life.
"Well done, it seems you didn't lie."
At the door of the container, Gonsarev looked at Li Zhongren with satisfaction. He would not be stingy with his smile for such a scavenger since it didn't cost any money anyway.
"Let's go. Tell us everything you know. After that, the Empire will send you a citizenship certificate and the medal of the Secret Guard."
"Okay, sir."
"But before that, you have to wear this collar for a while longer."
"It's natural."
Li Zhongren nodded.
He let the Secret Guards put the collar around his neck again. It was useless to him anyway. His power came from the entries, not the psychic energy of this world. In other words, it was the entries that relied on the psychic energy of this world, not him, so the thing was ineffective.
Following the footsteps of the guard, Li Zhongren walked underground step by step.
Soon, he was taken back to the room where he was interrogated. Nothing in the room had changed.
The table is still the same table.
The lamp is still the same lamp.
Facing the stool opposite.
The shadow of the stool was cast on the wall.
Li Zhongren seemed to be going home. He was the first to walk in, walking in front.
For his behavior.
Others, including Gonsarev, had no idea. They just thought that this man was anxious to confess and then join the Secret Guard Party.
However, he, who has always been cautious, would not allow potential enemies to act alone. Two members of the Secret Guard Party still followed Li Zhongren on his left and right.
then.
Of course, after Gonzalez pushed open the door and walked in, he just stood there in a daze.
Empty room.
A lone searchlight.
And a seat that rotates there.
Three people, all disappeared.
"Level 1 lockdown."
"Retrieve the surveillance crystal to record the video."
Gonsarev took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
The person has disappeared.
Being angry won't help.
His first priority now is to preserve the evidence.
Fortunately, he was careful and took photos of all the operations on the whole person.
Make sure he doesn't make any mistakes in the procedure.
After all, space-related abilities are too rare, and there are loopholes that can be exploited. However, he believes that with these photos, the punishment for himself will probably remain at the administrative stage.
Li Zhongren walked into the interrogation room.
This is the content played in the video. Behind him, two Secret Guards were still following him. They let him sit on the chair, stood beside him one on the left and one on the right, and handcuffed his hands and feet to the chair again.
But it was just this moment.
The target person, Jeff, just disappeared, or rather, merged into the shadows, and the two people beside him also fell and disappeared.
"Director, this is all the information I provided."
In the imperial capital, Gonsarev personally brought Liuying to the headquarters of the Secret Guard Statistics Bureau and met with the director, Lum Weaver.
At the moment, he was standing in front of the director, sweating profusely, hunched over, with his head lowered, and even trembling a little.
"call"
After watching the video, Lum Weaver looked up and looked at Gonsarev.
"So, after he escaped, was there any evidence or clues?"
"Absolutely not."
Gonsarev smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"I immediately activated the first-level blockade, using up a stock of spiritual crystals to search the entire Raven Branch, but found nothing. However, we found the two Secret Guard members who were taken away. They were stuffed into a storage room. We read their memories, but they were unconscious at the time, so there were no useful clues."
"Okay, sit down."
"Thank you, Chief..."
After hearing these words, Gonsarev finally felt relieved.
He was Lum Weaver's student and knew his temper. If he asked you to sit down, it meant that there was still room for improvement. If he asked you to stand, you would be waiting for death.
"You're smart. You kept an eye on it."
Looking at his student, Lum Weaver glared at him.
"With these photos as evidence, the worst you can do is fine you half a year. Otherwise, dismissal is the lightest punishment."
"Yes, yes, thank you very much...thank you teacher."
"Ah"
Lum Weaver shook his head.
“Spatial ability.”
He watched the video several times and was sure that this was a kind of superpower he had never seen before. Fortunately, it was a superpower. As for the fact that the other party was not afraid of the anti-magic collar, since the other party had spatial abilities, whether this thing could really touch the other party was still an unknown.
However, he was also keenly aware of some problems.
the first.
Why didn't he escape immediately when he was arrested?
Maybe he wanted to see what useful information the Empire had found, probably.
This was the only reasonable explanation he could give.
second.
Why doesn't he fake his death and leave? Since he can replace an ordinary person, he can replace another ordinary person.
The status of this ordinary worker named Jeff is of no value.
However, he still stayed and wrote something every day.
The diary also came into his hands, but unfortunately, he could not understand what was written on the other side. The only thing that could be confirmed was that it must be a kind of writing, because experts had repeatedly compared all the texts.
These words are highly related and regular, and many of them are repeated frequently.
Therefore, it is very likely that this mysterious guy must have received orders from the Plague Baron and wanted to carry out some special purposes, so he stayed in the Mithril Raven Port. Moreover, with his ability that even the anti-magic collar and anti-magic pills are useless, his status in the organization would not be too low.
At least he is a leader-level existence.

"Ding~~"
"You get a new entry"
Title: Shadow Faceless
Rarity: Purple
Level: LV1
Ability 1: If there are members of an undisclosed secret organization near you, you can detect its existence
"What the hell?"
Li Zhongren, who had randomly found a hotel to stay in, suddenly sat up.
Looking at this sudden extra entry, I couldn't help but smile.
Even if the person is not here, there will be an entry.
It was obvious that his own affairs had been reported to the higher-ups.
That’s why we have this ability.
However, it is also quite interesting.
Li Zhongren pinched his chin.
He is Li Gui, not Li Kui.
In a sense, neither the Empire nor the Plague Baron would like him.
So, since I have offended everyone, I might as well follow through to the end.
It would be fun to find the Plague Baron.
