Chapter 987: The Whereabouts of Memories

In front of Hong Xiu, killing a Fire-Tamperer was as simple as pinching an ant to death.

She dropped the headless corpse in her hand, walked slowly to the other person, and lifted him from the ground again in the same posture...

"I’ll ask one more time, where is the person who possesses my memories?"

Hong Xiu’s voice was bone-chillingly cold.

"In... in the prison under the church." Watching his companion die, the only remaining Fire-Tamperer dared not hide anything. He could feel the murderous aura emanating from Hong Xiu’s eyes, and he was nearly suffocating.

"Any prisoner who possesses a Divine Path is locked up there..."

Under the church...

Unlike Chen Ling, the one who exchanged memories with Hong Xiu was a "Knight" who also possessed a Divine Path. Hong Xiu inherited the Knight’s memories, and that Knight naturally inherited the memories of the Chief Enforcer... And a Knight possessing Hong Xiu’s original memories could never work for the Silver King.

Therefore, the Silver King could only trap it in the prison, pressing it under the church. Fortunately, the Knight’s own strength wasn't very high, so escaping the church was naturally impossible.

"And the person who possesses Chen Ling’s memories?" Hong Xiu asked again.

"The one who swapped memories with him is just an ordinary person... no need to be locked under the church, just put in the detention center... but it seems they were rescued by someone two days ago."

"Rescued? Who rescued them?"

"It was the Rat Party..."

Hong Xiu raised her eyebrows slightly.

Having obtained all the information she wanted, Hong Xiu raised her hand again and pressed her fingertip against the Fire-Tamperer’s forehead...

"No... no!!" the Fire-Tamperer said in terror. "You can't kill me... You didn't intercept the Rat Party, but instead killed us here... If you leave the bodies, Lord Chi Tong will definitely find out!!"

"Oh?"

Hong Xiu said expressionlessly, "Who said it was me who killed you..."

Bang—

The second blood-red watermelon exploded, lightly splattering the walls. A headless corpse was dropped on the ground like mud, and the air fell into a dead silence.

Hong Xiu stood before the two corpses, took a playing card from her pocket, and tossed it casually near the bodies...

—[Queen of Diamonds].

Then, Hong Xiu stomped down, and the underground tunnels within a radius of several miles were instantly shattered. The surface lost its support and collapsed downward with a roar!

……

Boom—!!!

A deafening roar came from the distance, and Huang He, wearing a straw hat, frowned as he looked into the distance.

"...That’s the aura of the Soldier Divine Path... Hong Xiu?"

"Such a terrifying aura fluctuation... Who is she fighting? In this city, is there still an opponent who can make her this serious?"

Huang He had an ominous premonition in his heart. After hesitating for a moment, he set off directly toward the direction of the roar.

About half a minute after he left.

Jian Changsheng felt his way through the dark, cautiously walking from another tunnel.

"This is... the aura of the [Asura] Leader?" Jian Changsheng was on the [Asura] path himself and was extremely sensitive to the pressure of the Leader. He looked into the distance with suspicion, and after a long while, a trace of envy appeared in his eyes.

"Such a strong murderous aura, when will I be able to become an [Asura] Leader..."

"If I became the Leader, I wouldn't have to be so cautious... Even if I were unlucky, nothing could hurt me. If I saw something I didn't like, I’d just wipe it all out... I wouldn't be stuck here walking in circles..."

"Damn it... why is it like a maze down here?!"

Jian Changsheng gradually lost his patience.

Just then, his peripheral vision suddenly caught something, and his gaze locked onto a touch of red in the corner of the wall...

It was a symbol drawn in blood, a crooked [6].

"6... red... Heart 6??"

Jian Changsheng’s eyes suddenly lit up!

Could it be that this was information left by that guy, Heart 6? Is he down here??

As soon as this thought appeared, Jian Changsheng rushed along the path leading underground without hesitation. He didn't know why he was so certain, but the moment he saw that "6," he had an intuition...

This was left specifically for him by Heart 6!

"Heart... just you wait," Jian Changsheng muttered to himself as he sprinted downward. "I will definitely lift your veil... and see who you really are."

……

In the dim, narrow tunnel.

Fang Liangye, taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, silently wrote a [6] in the corner.

Fang Liangye had secretly cut his index finger with the blade to write it in blood. He had left about three marks along the way, each only the size of a thumb. If one didn't look carefully, one wouldn't see them at all.

Fang Liangye did this naturally to rendezvous with the "Queen of Diamonds." Since he had been captured to the Wuji Domain, he hadn't made contact with any Twilight Society members, and this was naturally the best opportunity.

The Queen of Diamonds was a letter card, meaning they had joined the Twilight Society very early. Usually, this also meant that the other party’s strength would be very high and they would be experienced, just like Bai Feng... And since the Queen of Diamonds was here to save him, rendezvousing with them meant establishing contact with the Twilight Society.

This would be his greatest reliance for survival!

"I wonder what kind of senior this Queen of Diamonds is?" Fang Liangye thought to himself.

At this time, Chen Ling was walking at the very front of the group, actively clearing the way while also calculating the exit route for the Rat Party.

In Chen Ling’s calculations, they were now far away from the Fire-Tamperers' encirclement and were underground in another street block... The path ahead, which was gradually sloping upward, verified his thoughts. Not long after, they passed through into another relatively new underground drainage tunnel.

Walking out of the narrow alchemical path, they were met with the stench and humidity unique to sewers, but at this moment, the Rat Party members all let out a sigh of relief.

"We escaped..."

"Yeah, it’s a good thing there was no ambush underground. Everything went very smoothly."

"But Dulan and the others haven't come out yet..."

"Dulan is very strong. Even facing a Saint of Thieves, he might not be without a chance of winning. Let’s trust him."

“……”

Just as everyone was talking, Chen Ling had already found an exit from the sewer. He pushed the manhole cover open for everyone and stepped aside to let them go first.

"This should be the factory area above. It’s a few kilometers away from the previous place. Once we get up there, we should be safe."

Chen Ling said seriously.

Seeing this, the Rat Party members looked at him with guilt.

One had to know that just a moment ago, they had suspected Jia Chen and almost caused him to be disfigured just to prove himself. Yet, all along the way, it was Jia Chen who had been charging at the front, bearing all the risks for them...

"Is your face okay?" Wu Duo asked with concern, looking at the scar on his face.

"I’m fine, you guys go up quickly."

Chen Ling urged everyone.

The Rat Party members climbed to the surface one after another. Just as it was Fang Liangye’s turn, a hand firmly pressed onto his shoulder.

"Fang Liangye..." Chen Ling said faintly,

"You stay behind."
