Chapter 491: Dark Forces, the Octagonal Tower’s Mystery
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
When Chu Feng left the beast world, he was engaged in a battle with the avatar of the “sky god” who was more fitting to be called an “evil god” on the game ground.
In the meantime, a conversation was taking place in the beast world’s tree world. After the Beastmaster left, Lila, the Mythical Tree, followed Chu Feng’s instructions and continued to interrogate the prisoners of war.
The interrogation venue was the same as before, in the divine palace that the treants had built for the God of Life.
Without needing Lila to ask any more questions, Kunda, whom Chu Feng had cast a confession spell on before he left, poured out everything he knew like beans.
Although he had participated in many projects as a producer, such as live horror broadcasts, grand escape death reality shows, and organ auctions… he was neither the executive producer nor a confidant of the executive producer.
Therefore, even though he was busy working on the program team every day, he did not come into contact with the core business of the organization. Therefore, his understanding of the program team was not very deep.
However, even though he did not come into contact with the core, he did stay in the underground program team for more than ten years. Therefore, Kunda knew more than the audience of the underground dark net.
“There are so many dark forces in the underground world that I can’t even count them. Among them, the dark forces that are related to the grand escape program team who sent me here include the Eight-headed Snake, Dark River, Ghost Realm, Peach Blossom Smile, Machinery Pavilion…”
In fact, shadows of various big forces could be found in all program teams in the underground network.
“Most of the dark forces in the underground network have their respective roles.”
For example, the Eight-headed Snake was mainly responsible for accepting bounties, assassinations, and other missions. Every member was very good at killing.
The Dark River was mainly responsible for collecting information from various channels and selling it to those in need. It was somewhat similar to an “intelligence building”. Back when it had been at its most prosperous, it was said that among every five members of the underground dark net audience was an agent of the Dark River.
The Ghost Realm had members that often abducted souls. Most of the time, they cooperated with the Amassing Chamber of Commerce such that the former was responsible for abducting souls while the latter abducted people.
The Peach Blossom Smile consisted of women only, and the strongest among the higher-ups would kill any men they see.
As for the Machinery Pavilion, there were both dedicated scientists who had their heads buried in research, as well as madmen who used bombs and the latest high-tech weapons to kill.
“Strictly speaking, these dark forces are only second-rate in the underground dark net…”
Seeing that Kunda was about to continue, Lila waved her hand to interrupt him. If he were to talk about it in detail, he would not be able to finish it even in three days and three nights.
She limited the scope frankly, “Let’s not talk about other things for the time being. Just tell me about the living tranquilizer, the octagonal tower.”
Chu Feng was about to battle the octagonal tower. If they had more relevant information, it might be able to come in handy.
Thus, Kunda’s voice slowly continued, “In the underground world, there are a total of ten beings who have the respected title of living tranquilizers. All of them can quickly restore the rationality of others!”
These ten beings were also the only ten innate tranquilizers in the underground dark net. Since they were innate, there were naturally also those who were trained later.
For example, the Living Research Institute had modified several batches of low-level tranquilizers. Since these low-level living tranquilizers were from the same institute, they were naturally united by the researchers and formed a group using the reputation of tranquilizers as a gimmick.
It was said that some of the test subjects had defected from the institute, which led to each test subject being added with a spiritual shackle similar to a beast contract…
The humans and beasts that had defected and escaped from their original forces were mostly scattered in the two underground factions.
The first was Weeping Snow, and the second was Blood Poison. There was nothing special about the former, while the members of the latter were mostly anti-human and were very accustomed to fighting, bloodshed, and madness. They could often be seen in the underground arena.
It was rumored that the members of Blood Poison all carried a kind of medicine on them. With this medicine, each of them could self-destruct multiple times without dying.
“Speaking of which, most of the human Beastmasters in the underground world have joined another two organizations.”
It was said that one of those organizations had gathered many righteous people. Outsiders only knew of this organization, but they didn’t know its name. The goal of this special organization seemed to be to destroy the underground dark net!
Many people treated this as a show.
“After all, the underground dark net isn’t an ordinary organization in the real world. Instead, it’s an intricate, multi-layered entity made up of countless dark organizations. It’s impossible to destroy such a behemoth unless a supreme existence takes the initiative to end it!”
The other organization that Beastmasters often joined was the Black Imperial Alliance, which did well in the dark net. Most of its members were dark-type beastmasters who became stronger by absorbing their beasts. Rumor had it that the executioner, Kewen, who loved to torture and kill beasts, was its member.
Hearing this, Lila looked pensive as she thought to herself, “Until now, no one seems to have found out that Chu Feng has already killed the executioner.”
Kunda’s confession continued, “Let’s talk about the living tranquilizer, the octagonal tower.”
The reason why many dark forces took the initiative to sponsor high-level living tranquilizers, including the octagonal tower, was actually very simple.
“After a creature that is a living tranquilizer is successfully nurtured, it is more suitable to be possessed than other beings. To be honest, their bodies have long been secretly reserved by some guests.”
Just like how the octagonal tower had many clones, he himself was also another person’s clone and a backup. This was something that Kunda had learned by chance.
Lila recorded the information and prepared to report it to Chu Feng.
She took the initiative to ask, “Do the program team members, including you, know anything about the octagonal tower’s strangeness?”
When the octagonal tower entered, it was just an ordinary God Marquis. Yet, later on, it repeatedly displayed strange methods that far surpassed other true gods. Did the program team know about this?
The man shook his head and said, “The program team finds it strange as well. That’s why they want to bring it back to study it.”
Lila continued, “The program team seems to be targeting newcomers?”
Kunda shook his head, then nodded, “It wasn’t like this in the past, but recently, I’ve heard that several forces are targeting newcomers… The higher-ups seem to have issued some new orders.”
As he said this, he became excited as he added, “Before I came here, the program team said that if the situation in the game ground is out of control, then forget about the octagonal tower and just format the game ground. By then, there will be no living creatures left alive on the game ground! In my perspective, the program team’s authority is still too small. If it’s the dark net administrator, then not only the insides of the game ground but the entire game ground would be completely destroyed!”
Hearing this hidden danger, Lila’s gaze turned slightly cold.
“Right now, there’s still the main control room in the void outside the game ground. In case of an accident, we still have to find time to destroy it,” Just as she was thinking about this, she suddenly heard the man opposite her take the initiative to suggest.
“We are just the vanguard team that was sent here. The program team will definitely send more people later… If you let me go, I can help you pass on some fake news.”
