Chapter 456 You Didn't Escape?
"Yes, it's an order from above."
"Wasn't this person supposed to be very important? And given how severely he's been tortured, won't he die as soon as he gets in?"
"Well, there's nothing we can do about it. He's a tough nut to crack. We don't know what's so bad about talking about or making those things. The higher-ups promised him so many benefits, but he refused and even cursed at them. Oh, don't ask so many questions. I heard that person's situation is getting worse and worse. Let's not mess with him. We'll just do whatever the higher-ups say."
"Oh, that's the only way!"
Looks like the guard; it seems we'll have another 'neighbor' soon.
"Is the person locked in that room dead?"
"I don't know. That person said he couldn't be used by him, so he died and that's that. Anyway, the higher-ups don't ask, so we shouldn't mention it to avoid trouble."
"What a pity for such a beautiful woman. She's been in a terrible temper these days. At the very end, she even tried to drag a few people down with her. Luckily, I don't have a sister."
"Shh! Are you out of your mind? What nonsense are you spouting? Don't drag me into this!"
"Tch! Let's go!"
Did they think she was dead? Did they just give up like that? Maybe they knew she couldn't accept it willingly, so they came up with another plan.
Song Tingnan thought it was good that no one would disturb her. She closed her eyes and meditated again. According to the child, when brainwaves are unusually strong, they can connect with destined people like a telephone line.
Among Gao Haoran, Liu Dayong, and Song Yanchu, Song Tingnan chose Liu Dayong as the destined person. Firstly, he had communicated with the Taoist priest in her mind and was familiar with the process, making it easier to connect with his brainwaves; secondly, he was involved in the whole affair, and connecting with him might reveal some of the truth.
Could it be that it's too noisy during the day since we couldn't get in touch once? Actually, Song Tingnan couldn't distinguish between day and night here anymore, and she had to thank the two guards for what they mentioned in their conversation.
After some time, Song Tingnan tried again and connected. Liu Dayong was only surprised for a moment before chatting with her and confirmed that the Taoist priest was his senior brother, but they were on different paths and could not work together.
He did not defend himself, only saying that he discovered the Taoist priest was practicing a longevity technique for the Great Emperor, which involved absorbing yin to replenish yang, but his attempts to dissuade him were ineffective.
Because he had no power, and his senior brother claimed it was to fulfill their master's dying wish, he inadvertently learned that his senior brother had planted "beans" for a girl across thousands of miles. Wanting to investigate further, he quietly left. Along the way, he met like-minded people and joined the organization, further confirming that his departure was the right thing to do.
It wasn't until Gao Haoran brought her to him to become his apprentice that he confirmed her identity. He taught her lip reading, ventriloquism, and makeup because he saw potential in her. So, it was only by chance that she became Song Wanli's benefactor and reduced the hardships she endured in her childhood.
Whether these words were true or false, Song Tingnan had no interest in investigating. "Do you think I can escape now?"
Liu Dayong asked in surprise, "You didn't escape? You've already contacted me like this, and you're still asking me?"
Uh, I seem to have gotten carried away. It seems like my super strong brainwaves can do a lot of things, such as manipulating and guarding them, or modifying other people's memories... Upon hearing this, Song Tingnan decisively cut off her contact with Liu Dayong. She was busy.
Song Tingnan hadn't forgotten her mission. She planned to first investigate the neighbors next door, hoping the guards' conversation might reveal the person they were looking for. Even if it wasn't Professor Ou, the enemy of my enemy is my friend, and she admired those with backbone. Besides, she wanted to test her skills.
There must be guards outside the door. She started to manipulate things—she came over, opened the door, went to the next room, and tentatively called out 'Oremu'. Great, there was a response. It was like finding a needle in a haystack. This dark room was a good place to keep her locked up.
Professor Ou didn't seem to be doing so well, so Song Tingnan quickly took over and soon... "Why did you take these two people away?"
"The Imperial Palace urgently needs it!"
After they came out, Song Tingnan didn't kill them to cover it up. She simply erased their memories and sent them back, continuing to pretend they died in the dark room. She planned to create a time gap to make it easier to carry out what followed.
Under Professor Ou's scrutiny, Song Tingnan pretended to be nonchalant. She only relaxed after seeing Li Yaqi and the others return to the Taoist temple together. She was quite nervous about controlling so many people.
Without resting, she went inside to have a private talk with the abbot. Then the abbot went into the city. Song Tingnan didn't come out for two hours. As soon as she came out, she found a room and fell fast asleep.
Li Yaqi and the others didn't dare to disturb them and could only wait, worried that the other party would retaliate, while gathering everyone to prepare for the final battle.
The next day, when the sun came out, Song Tingnan woke up and felt that sleeping was more suitable for her. She was more used to the abbot's meditation and cultivation.
The abbot returned after being away for several days. Upon his return, he winked at Song Tingnan, indicating that the matter was settled, and then said that he was going into seclusion.
When Chu Yile was about to ask, Li Yaqi pulled her aside to arrange her return to China.
"Sister Yaqi, aren't you curious about what Tiantian and the Abbot are plotting?"
