Once, I wanted to be a good person

Chapter 79 70. Torturing Golden Fox (Looking for first subscription of 10k+ words! Seeking monthly pass!)

"A thousand or two Awakeners. Tens of thousands of Periphery Members?"

"Just in Xida State there are a few thousand?"

"The power of the Rejuvenation Society is not small at all."

"But to keep a secret, all these members only have single-line contact with their superiors?"

"They don't even know the real name of the organization?"

"Hmm..."

Fang Ze lowered his head, lost in thought,

"Then... now that Cui Xuemin has been captured, as long as I get hold of a way to contact them, I could covertly make use of his subordinates, right?"

With this thought, a light sparked in Fang Ze's eyes,

"Right. Such a large number of disposable and expendable cannon fodder. It'd be a waste not to use them."

Thinking this way, Fang Ze did not reveal his thoughts. He pondered for a moment, then lifted his head, looked at Cui Xuemin, and imitating Bai Zhi's tone, said, "Since you don't want to talk about that, how about you tell us how your organization contacts each other?"

Cui Xuemin lay on the ground, silent.

Thanks to the lack of Mind Power Users in this world, although he remained silent, he didn't intentionally avoid Fang Ze's question in his mind...

After a minute, "Bai Zhi" looked at Cui Xuemin indifferently, "Still not talking? Where are the other perpetrators of the case now?"

Cui Xuemin continued to be silent.

Another minute passed, "Bai Zhi" asked again, "What is your role in the organization?"

Yet another minute,

"Do you have any other subordinates?"

After getting a clear picture of Cui Xuemin and his subordinates' situation, Fang Ze realized that his method of impersonating Bai Zhi to inquire was indeed very useful.

Especially the part where he could listen to Cui Xuemin internally insulting Bai Zhi as he asked his questions, which was particularly amusing...

So, he seized the momentum to chase the victory and continued to ask questions.

"What were you looking for in this massacre case?"

"Do you have any intelligence or clues about the mysterious organization that attacked you?"

"Aside from this task, do you have any other missions recently?"...

One question after another was posed.

Cui Xuemin was curled up in a corner, utterly mute.

He didn't respond or pay any attention to Fang Ze, as if he had become deaf and dumb.

What's more, although he still occasionally thought about the questions Fang Ze asked unintentionally, gradually, his thoughts began to concentrate more and more.

Because... he finally started to feel that something was amiss.

It's true that this world doesn't have many Mind Power Users, but that doesn't mean there are none. Cui Xuemin hadn't noticed at first, but that didn't mean he would never notice...

With "Bai Zhi" continuing to ask questions, not caring about his silence, Cui Xuemin started to feel like he had overlooked something...

He sneakily observed the "Bai Zhi" in front of him.

Although the clothing and appearance were exactly like Bai Zhi, on closer inspection... it seemed to lack some of Bai Zhi's noble aura and arrogance.

Once he had a hint of suspicion, he noticed even more incongruities.

Why didn't the posture of this Bai Zhi conform to noble etiquette?

The tone of conversation of this Bai Zhi also seemed different from the real Bai Zhi?
