Chapter 950: Fang Liangye

"The moment the explosion occurred, all the officers in the detention center fainted. Traces of witchcraft were left at the scene, and it can be confirmed that it was done by those fish that slipped through the net."

"As expected..." Chi Tong snorted coldly, "Any casualties?"

"No casualties, but..."

"But what?"

"The prisoners who were locked in the detention center have all been released."

Hearing this, Chi Tong's brow furrowed. He seemed to think of something and muttered to himself:

"Could their target be him..."

Those locked in the detention center were all ordinary people who had committed crimes—theft, robbery—and some civilians who had tried to resist the Silver Government. The one who had been locked in the detention center recently was Fang Liangye.

Who was this Fang Liangye? A core member of some human rights union. Could it be that the witches raided the detention center at night just to rescue him?

But the current Fang Liangye had been grafted with Chen Ling's memories and was a madman with an unclear consciousness... I guess those witches would be disappointed after rescuing him. Thinking of this, Chi Tong felt much better.

"Did you send people to track them?"

"We have, but after so many purges, the witches still active in the Wuji Domain have too many strange methods. I'm afraid it will be difficult to get results..."

"A bunch of remnants, besides attacking facilities guarded by ordinary people, they can't do anything big... Try your best to investigate."

"Yes."

When the Fire-Tampers went away, Chi Tong turned to leave, only to see Chen Ling still following him, his expression somewhat strange.

He almost forgot that the current Chen Ling was a passionate "human rights fighter." If this guy knew that the witches raided the detention center to save him, who knows what kind of trouble he would cause...

"Chen Ling, it's none of your business, go back and rest." Chi Tong tried to drive Chen Ling away.

"I want to find the King of Silver." Chen Ling said suddenly, "He promised me that after I killed the Twilight Agency thief with my own hands, he would cancel the eighteen-hour mandatory working time... Where is he now?"

“……”

Chi Tong had no time to discuss the Silver Government's policies with him, and this wasn't something a Saint of Thieves could decide, so he could only perfunctorily reply, "Oh, about that... it just so happens that the King has gone out for a few days. Wait for him to come back, and then you can talk to him personally."

After speaking, Chi Tong hurried away.

Chen Ling, wearing the bright red opera robe, stood where he was, looking at the somewhat chaotic cathedral, his eyes narrowing slightly.

Oh~~~

No wonder someone dared to attack the detention center. So, the King of Silver is not in Wuji right now...

That makes things easier.

Figures passed by Chen Ling, all busy with their own affairs. No one paid attention to Chen Ling, no one cared about Chen Ling, as if his presence and threat level in this cathedral had dropped to the lowest point.

The dawn light gradually rose from outside the corridor window. Chen Ling turned around unhurriedly and walked toward his room.

……

Several figures in black robes were running through the dark alleys of the Wuji Domain, carrying an unconscious young man on their backs.

"How is it? Did they catch up?"

"No, this time not even a Saint of Thieves came to chase us. It seems they really don't care about the detention center, nor do they care about Mr. Fang."

"Mr. Fang is just an ordinary person; they certainly don't care. We raided the detention center, besides rescuing Mr. Fang, more importantly, to confirm whether the King of Silver had really left... Now judging from the cathedral's reaction, he really is gone."

"With the King of Silver gone, there's more room for us to operate. Maybe we can send another batch of children out."

"Sending people out again should be very difficult. After all, there is only one Holy Relic. Even if they are sent out, they can't cross the Gray Realm... I just don't know how the batch of children already sent out are doing, and if they have arrived at the Tian-Shu Domain safely?"

"By the way, I heard that Mr. Fu also returned today? Is it true??"

"It's true, but the injuries are very severe and require a period of recuperation..."

"Wasn't he locked in the dungeon at the very bottom of the cathedral, guarded by the Saint of Thieves himself? How did he escape?"

"I don't know... but it seems to be related to someone. He mentioned it in passing, something about a 'Red' something... Let's ask him once he's finished recuperating."

"Red...?"

The group fell into deep thought.

Just then, a faint voice came from their backs.

"Red... Heart..."

"Mr. Fang, you're awake?" The group was pleasantly surprised. "How are you feeling? Are you injured?"

Fang Liangye slowly raised his head. His weak complexion was like white paper in the dim light. His eyes were unfocused, and his voice fluctuated, drifting in and out:

"I... injured?"

"Yes, are you injured?" the group asked again.

"Injured... how could I be injured?? I cannot die. My performance was excellent, the audience recognized me well. To kill me now, it would take two shots!!" Fang Liangye suddenly shouted excitedly!

“？？？”

"I remember now, I shouldn't be here... I was kidnapped!"

"Mr. Fang, what are you saying? We have already rescued you."

"No, it must have been the King of Silver who stole my memories. I knew something was wrong... Zou Wei... Zou Wei and the others should have already escaped back to the Tian-Shu Domain. I just don't know if the King of Silver will tamper with their memories... But Ke Xiaoyan has a curse; she is immune to memory theft. Even if an accident happened, she should still remember me..."

Fang Liangye's words became increasingly rapid, and his body trembled uncontrollably. Seeing this, several wizards waved their hands and knocked Fang Liangye unconscious on the spot.

"...What's wrong with Mr. Fang?"

"Didn't you hear? The King of Silver stole his memories... Now his entire mind is in chaos."

"But Mr. Fang is just an ordinary person. Is he worth the King of Silver taking action personally?"

"Damn it, what on earth is going on?"

The group was baffled, but for now, they carried Fang Liangye and quickly passed through building after building, finally arriving near a canal in the suburbs.

They looked around to confirm no one was following them, then pried open a manhole cover and descended into the sewer one after another...

The sewer was dark and damp, filled with a nauseating stench, but the group seemed accustomed to it. As one wizard raised his fingertip, a faint light ignited from the void, dispelling the darkness around them.

After passing through several sewer tunnels, they arrived before a seamless wall. One of them raised his palm and made a twisting motion in the air toward the wall...

A portal shrouded in shadows slowly opened for them.
