Chapter 54 Liu Chun's Identity Verification
The following day, although Liu Chun, who had not yet secured a job, was still allowed to stay at the company, she had become Wang Pei's right-hand woman and would start working whenever she had free time.
However, as soon as the matter was over for the day, Wang Pei led him to a hidden room at the entrance of the stairwell.
Since he had already been here before, one more risk of exposure wouldn't make a difference. Besides, once he realized that Liu Chun was acting strangely, he probably wouldn't be able to leave this secret room alive.
Wang Pei walked in front, with Liu Chun following behind. In such a depressing environment, since the other party did not speak, he remained silent until the two entered one of the rooms.
"What are we doing here?" Liu Chun asked. Although the room was pitch black, there were other people besides himself and Wang Pei.
Wang Pei did not answer him, but instead politely bowed to the pitch-black darkness, clenching his right fist and placing it on his chest, saying, "Lord Gu Xie, we have arrived."
Upon hearing the name, Liu Chun's body trembled involuntarily, but he quickly followed Wang Pei's example and bowed to the person in the shadows.
Liu Chun still vividly remembered that deadly punch. If he hadn't absorbed a lot of the internal energy emanating from the ancient artifact, he probably would have been "out of commission" when that Gu Xie threw that punch.
After they finished bowing, the entire room was lit up with yellow light, as if it had just been turned on. The light was so dim that you could barely see the whole room, and it was impossible to see it like it was during the day.
Gu Xie sat in the chair, and as the lights came on, he spun the chair to face them, his entire face shrouded in darkness, making outsiders think that he was made of steel and was indestructible.
An Iron Man with Self-Awareness!
Liu Chun said this to himself, keeping his head down, not wanting to face Gu Xie, afraid that if he stayed too long, the other party would really see through him, so he had to be careful.
"Alright, no need to be so polite." Gu Xie said, noticing the two men look up at Liu Chun. "You can leave now. Brother Liu, you can stay for now. I need to give you a check-up. Is that alright?"
Considering that they were all on the same side, Liu Chun nodded in agreement without much thought: "I might really be sick recently. If you're willing to treat me, I have no objection. After all, President Wang Pei promised to reimburse me."
Wang Pei, looking embarrassed as he reached the door, turned to look at Master Gu Xie with a pleading expression: "Master Gu Xie will take a good look at you. All you have to do now is cooperate with his work. As long as you're alright, you can leave this secret room and go sit outside."
Gu Xie softened: "It's alright, I'll send him out once it's done."
He got up and fiddled around in the room for a while, quickly making an interrogation chair with his hands. Moreover, there were even methods to restrict the person sitting on it, so it was obviously impossible to break free by brute force.
"Are you ready?" Gu Xie asked casually, as if it were just a small matter, nothing serious, and that they would still be good friends.
Liu Chun knew he couldn't escape, and since the box hadn't been found yet, he wasn't going to leave.
He also wanted to find a way to remove the power of the "ancient artifacts" from the children and restore them to normal.
If there's no hope for anyone who comes into contact with the power of the 'Ancient Artifacts,' how many people in this world would be affected, living a life worse than death?
"I'm ready."
Liu Chun obediently sat down, firmly believing that he would pass the test. He still needed to get things done afterward, otherwise, if the world really descended into chaos, it wouldn't do him any good.
Following the procedure of the interrogation chair, Liu Chun's hands and feet were tightly bound, and he was wearing a helmet that looked like an armored helmet on his head. He couldn't see many fine wires, so he could only assume that it was intelligent.
Along the way, Liu Chun watched Gu Xie busy himself around the room, and finally he moved a chair over and sat down in front of her, and began to ask Liu Chun questions.
"Please tell me, how did you discover this secret room?" Beneath the black robe, Gu Xie's eyes seemed to flicker, as if a flash of white light had just passed through them.
Liu Chun understood that the other party was watching him closely, ready to find clues from seemingly insignificant details.
Moreover, given their close proximity, if Liu Chunzhen were to regain her normal condition, Gu Xie could easily knock her unconscious or even kill her.
Releasing them is definitely not an option.
Liu Chun thought carefully and explained, "I wanted to go to the restroom earlier, but I went to the wrong place and unexpectedly found that there was still space here."
"Because it was found inside the company, I thought it was a place to store things. In order to get along well with my colleagues in the future, I decided to come in and take a look... I had already looked around the company before, so I didn't want to miss this place either."
"So I stumbled into this place by accident and accidentally injured a few of the 'little monkeys' here... Later I found out that this place is off-limits."
"I'm so sorry, I've trespassed into this place."
For Liu Chun, lying to the enemy was as easy as drinking water or eating. Moreover, he was a skilled actor; this Q&A session felt like a performance for the public on television, posing no challenge whatsoever.
So let's see if this ancient evil spirit is so easy to fool.
"You're lying!" Gu Xie stood up and walked to Liu Chun's side, standing there. "Ordinary people wouldn't come into a place like this with lights on, but you not only came in with a flashlight, you also injured several of those 'little monkeys.' Do you think an ordinary person would do that?"
Liu Chun quickly shook his head: "I did come to the wrong place, and I don't know what this place is or what it's used for. Coming here was purely a misunderstanding."
Anyway, Liu Chun's internal energy hasn't disappeared yet. He's naturally strong, so it shouldn't be a problem if he's a little stronger, right?
In short, he was determined to kill them all, and apart from seeing those man-eating 'little monkeys' after entering, he really didn't notice anything else unusual.
Gu Xie remained skeptical and then walked behind him. Some time later, Liu Chun received a punch to the stomach, feeling as if his bones were about to crack; it was excruciatingly painful.
"Are you unwilling to tell the truth?"
Seeing the bloodstains at the corner of Liu Chun's mouth, Gu Xie stopped and sat back down in front of him.
"If you don't want to tell the truth honestly, I can't guarantee you'll leave this place alive."
"Tell me, what exactly are you doing in this secret room?"
Liu Chun struggled to stay upright: "I've already said it, I just came in out of curiosity, and I'm also very strong."
"It's just killing a few 'little monkeys,' what's the big deal?"
"Yeah?"
Gu Xie went out and pulled one of the 'little monkeys' back in. Now, under the room's lighting, Liu Chun could clearly see the children's clothes on the 'little monkeys'. Although they were tattered, it wasn't hard to tell which stage of life the clothes belonged to.
"Liu Chun, do you think this 'little monkey' is very cruel?"
Gu Xie gripped the mutated boy's head tightly, as if it were about to explode at any moment.
Liu Chun seemed a little anxious and quickly turned his head to the side: "This monster is so terrifying, why are you still holding onto it? Quickly throw it away."
Seeing Liu Chun's disgusted expression, Gu Xie put the "little monkey" down and let it run away.
Liu Chun's reaction was noticeably different from before, but he was still in a state of amnesia and remembered nothing.
