Chapter 728 Li Shentan’s DNA sample

In the world of adults, if I didn’t want to answer your questions, I would just come up with an excuse to reject you, and you should know to back off.

Wang Yun understood this logic, but he just could not understand how this young man had the nerve to find such a lame excuse to do that.

However, he could be sure of one thing now. The other party was definitely not a nobody. His name must have come up in some past incidents, which was why he was unwilling to give his name.

Wang Yun thought about it carefully and tried to recall if there was anyone in his memory that matched Ren Xiaosu’s characteristics. Right at this moment, Wang Yun suddenly remembered a photo!

It wasn’t really an important picture, and it was even filed together with some Class C intel.

The Kong Consortium’s intelligence assessments were divided into four classes: A, B, C, and D. These four classes were used to differentiate the importance of the intel and prioritize them. Usually, directors of the intelligence agency would only read through the Class A and B intel. As for the Class C and D intel, they would at most give them a passing glance.

Most people would forget them immediately after seeing them, but Wang Yun was different. His memory was ridiculously good. That picture was of two sculptures that had just been erected on Wangchunmen Boulevard in Luoyang City. Although the Qinghe Group had tried its best to hide the true silhouette of the two sculptures, the girl’s cap remained on Wang Yun’s mind.

Previously, Wang Yun did not take notice of this at all as there were many girls who wore caps. Two years ago, there was a celebrity who was famous throughout the Central Plains who especially liked wearing caps, so a lot of girls imitated her fashion sense.

But now, it was clear that Ren Xiaosu was likely much stronger than him. Therefore, Wang Yun’s range of conjecture shrank infinitely as well.

Instantly, Wang Yun got down to guessing. He had also heard about the battle at Wangchunmen Boulevard back then, but because the Kong Consortium’s people had been killed by Wang Wenyan, he did not manage to get any concrete intel.

From the look of it, it was very likely this young man and young woman in front of him were the ones who defeated all the consortiums in that battle.

In that case, it also meant he was the legendary superhuman who had destroyed a stronghold in the Northwest!

Thinking of this, Wang Yun was a little baffled. Disregarding the whereabouts of his reinforcements, even if they were still trailing behind him right now, he also couldn’t be sure if he would be a match for the guy in front of him.

Moreover, White Mask had also appeared in Luoyang City back then and helped the Qinghe Group and the Riders. Could it be a coincidence that this young man and White Mask had appeared here together as well then?

He did not fucking believe that such coincidences existed in this world!

Wang Yun had always been a very conceited person, but he was also very aware of his own capabilities. He knew his greatest advantage was his brains, status, and the support this status brought him. He was indeed very strong in terms of his superpower, but he was definitely not the strongest.

Wang Yun knew very well that the strongest group of supernatural beings had already started to break away from the boundaries that defined humans.

However, Wang Yun thought that since he had not offended the other party, they were not on opposing sides yet.

But this time, the Pyro Company would probably be the ones getting a headache now that these two had arrived in the Sacred Mountains.

Thinking of this, Wang Yun calmed down again. He even started to worry for the Pyro Company.

Of course, Wang Yun felt that just these two people alone would not be enough to deal with the entire Pyro Company. After all, the Pyro Company was already prepared for their arrival. Who knew what kinds of traps had been set for them?

Wang Yun started getting excited as he really wanted to witness this battle. It would be great if the Pyro Company, the young man in front of him, and White Mask were to inflict damage on each other so that both sides would suffer!

However, what Wang Yun did not know was that Li Shentan, Zhou Yingxue, and Si Liren were currently leading a team into the canyon of the mountains on another route.

The canyon Li Shentan and the others were facing was almost exactly the same as the one Wang Yun and the others had encountered.

Just as they had guessed, this was a protective barrier set up by the Pyro Company in the first place. They could easily intercept most uninvited guests who tried to pass through here without having to trouble themselves.

If it weren’t for Ren Xiaosu and “Old Xu,” Wang Yun’s group would have already suffered more than 30 casualties!

Li Shentan raised a little red flag and said, “Come, everyone at the back, follow close behind me. Let me emphasize this again: After we enter this canyon, you all just have to keep your eyes fixed on this little red flag. Don’t go looking elsewhere, understand?”.

There was a scattered response from those at the back of the group. “Understood...”

Li Shentan did not seem too satisfied with everyone’s response. He said, “Have you all not been eating? This canyon is very dangerous. If you all can’t understand what I’m saying, I’ll have to hypnotize you all for the sake of your own safety.” Vanilla took the lead and roared, “Understood!”

Vanilla felt a sense of helplessness inside. For the past few days, Li Shentan had constantly been talking about hypnotizing everyone. All of them knew this was just a threat, but they could not muster up any resistance.

Over at Cheng Yu’s side, he got overshadowed by Luo Lan’s thughlike demeanor and had his authority usurped as a result. At the same time, everyone was also waiting to see Cheng Yu make a fool of himself.

But it was different here at Vanilla’s side. Everyone was cooperating closely with Li Shentan because they were acting upon their inner desires to survive...

In the legends that spoke of Li Shentan, he was someone who could kill 5,000 people without batting an eyelid. The number of people they had in their group was not even enough to satisfy his appetite for killing!

At this moment, Li Shentan was acting just like a tour guide, holding a little red flag as he walked in front of the group.

As they walked, he explained, “The problem with this canyon is not exactly a mystery. As you all can see, there are signs of manmade excavation marks on the cliff walls. You all must be thinking that the Pyro Company must have nothing better to do, right? Why did they insist on digging out a useless canyon here? But that’s not it. Every trace of excavation marks here was made to hypnotize you all. Although I don’t know what it’s for, you all might start hallucinating and killing each other after walking through this canyon. There’s also a possibility that you might end up in a vegetative state.”

Vanilla muttered at the side, “As if it’s that mystical.”

Li Shentan turned to Vanilla with a smile. “You don’t believe in my professionalism?”

“No, that’s not it.” Vanilla quickly shook his head.

Li Shentan smiled and said, “I don’t know why the Pyro Company has someone who’s proficient in the art of hypnotism either, but I know that DNA samples were stolen from the Li Consortium’s psychiatric hospital that I was staying in several years ago. It’s very likely that the Pyro Company was behind it.”

Vanilla was taken aback. This was something they really did not know about.

Li Shentan pondered things for a moment. “Then will I encounter another me in here? At that time, Little Liren had not been admitted into the psychiatric hospital yet, so they did not manage to get a sample of her DNA. However, they did steal mine. It’s so interesting just thinking about it!” When Vanilla and the others heard this, they were deeply worried. If there were really another Demon Whisperer from the Pyro Company here in the Sacred Mountains, that would be too dangerous.

But while they were worrying, Li Shentan turned to them and said with a smile, “Don’t worry, if there really is another me in here, I’ll kill him.”

Vanilla was stunned. “Why?”

“So that he won’t steal my limelight!” Li Shentan said matter-of-factly.
