Just then, a figure suddenly flashed past in front of them.
Baz was taken aback. He vaguely felt that the figure looked familiar, but the figure only flashed by and disappeared in an instant, like a ghost.
Even though Baz knew it was a scam, he couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.
Do ghosts really exist in this world?
In Western countries, most people are Catholic. Catholicism doesn't believe in reincarnation or retribution, but it does emphasize good and evil. Good people go to heaven, and bad people go to hell. Perhaps the greatest benefit of religion to society is this: all large religions that have spread widely emphasize guiding people towards good.
Although Buzz wasn't religious, he couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine at that moment.
In the silence, he could vaguely feel something whizzing past his back, and each time it did, he couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body.
"Hallucinations. These are all hallucinations, they can't scare me!" Buzz desperately reassured himself. He, who had never believed in God, couldn't help but keep muttering "Amen, Amen" in his heart.
Suddenly, the figure flashed past Buzz, but this time it was different. Buzz clearly saw his face. After a moment's thought, his face turned deathly pale!
Sir Fania! This person is actually Sir Fania! Sir Fania, the one whose entire family he killed!
Assassins like Baz often target nobles or high-ranking members of corporations—the so-called upper class. They use various means to approach these individuals, obtaining the information they need or eliminating the target. They often operate as corporate spies.
This Sir Fania was a Spaniard, and from a hereditary Spanish earldom.
More than a year ago, Buzz received an order to find a way to get close to Sir Fania and find a treasure passed down in the Fania family.
Buzz went to great lengths to research Sir Fania's hobbies and lifestyle. He eventually learned that Sir Fania loved horseback riding, and Buzz had specialized in equestrian training. Through various means, he eventually became good friends with Sir Fania. Unaware that he was now under death threats, Sir Fania one day hosted a private party and invited Buzz.
At that very party, Buzz witnessed Sir Fania take out his main target: a magnificent, all-gold crown adorned with a large diamond! Buzz then drugged the drinks and murdered the entire Fania family, several of his friends, and forty-three servants from the castle—completing his mission!
How could Baz not be terrified when he suddenly saw the person he had killed appear before him in the form of a ghost?!
Although they are assassins, assassins are still human! It's rare to find a truly pure atheist in this world. Anyone would be afraid if they suddenly saw the ghost of someone they had killed with their own hands!
Just then, the scene before Buzz's eyes suddenly changed, and he found himself able to move! And he was now in a very classical castle!
"Uncle Buzz." Buzz suddenly felt someone shaking his arm. He turned his head and saw something truly terrifying: a beautifully sculpted little girl. Her eyes were wide open, a cute hair clip adorned her brown hair, and she clutched a toy teddy bear. She looked at him with innocent, wide eyes and said in a childish voice, "Uncle Buzz, can you take me horseback riding?"
"Ah!" Even a top assassin like Buzz, with his strong willpower, couldn't help but scream at this moment. He fell backward violently, crashing heavily to the ground. He scrambled backward on all fours, barely managing to shout, "Don't come any closer! Don't come any closer!"
This little girl was Sir Fania's biological daughter, and the four-year-old Tafa was killed along with her.
When he killed the little girl, her pure and innocent eyes left a deep impression on him, so much so that he would occasionally think of her in his dreams later on.
But she actually appeared in front of me?
Buzz pinched himself hard; he could feel the pain! This wasn't a dream!
But vaguely, he could sense that something was amiss.
Just then, the little girl gave him a very strange, sinister smile!
Buzz felt a chill run down his spine from that smile. When he looked again, the girl's face remained innocent and naive. Her large eyes stared at him with a puzzled expression. Buzz felt like he was going crazy!
Just then, a woman's voice rang out: "Tafa. What are you doing? Why did you scare Uncle Baz?"
A middle-aged lady walked over gracefully. She bent down and affectionately patted the little girl's head: "Tafa, you've been naughty. Hurry up and apologize to Uncle Baz."
Buzz recognized the woman too; it was Mrs. Fania!
She strangled herself to death with a rope!
The mother and daughter both looked at Buzz. Their previously kind and innocent expressions suddenly turned incredibly sinister and terrifying. And an even more sinister voice rang out: "I...I...am...sorry...! Mr...Buzz!"
The voice was drawn out and terrifying, accompanied by an eerie tone. Buzz screamed in fright and scrambled to his feet, trying to rush out the door!
Just as he rushed to the door, someone came in and blocked his way, saying in a puzzled tone, "Oh. Buzz. My friend, what are you doing in such a hurry?"
Seeing this person, Buzz felt like he was about to pee himself!
This is the man he killed, Sir Fania!
Sir Fania took his hand very kindly and said, “My dear Baz, you don’t look too well. Would you like a glass of red wine to calm yourself down? Look, this is a Bordeaux red wine that I’ve been treasuring for twenty years. Most people can’t even get their hands on it.”
Baz stared at the bottle of red wine, his face covered in cold sweat, because he recognized it as the very bottle he had poisoned!
Sir Fania now held a wine glass in his hand. He simply stood in the doorway, poured a glass of wine right in front of him, and handed it to him: "Want to try some?"
It's important to know that European nobles enjoyed drinking red wine, and they had very specific rules for how to drink it, unlike ordinary people who might just wander around with a beer bottle and drink directly from it. They had a set of rules for how to open, inspect, pour, taste, and ask questions about the wine, and the more aristocratic the family, the more particular they were about these things.
But at this point, Buzz couldn't care less about anything else. He stared at the red wine in the clear glass. It looked exactly like thick blood!
Buzz was initially hesitant to drink, but somehow, as if his body was on its own, he picked up the glass and brought it to his lips. Instead of taking a small sip, he tilted his head back as if drinking beer and poured the entire glass of liquor into his mouth!
"Wow!"
Suddenly regaining control of his body, Buzz spat out a mouthful of "alcohol"...
"Blood! This is blood!"
Buzz wasn't unfamiliar with blood. In fact, he'd seen it countless times. But when he tasted blood in his mouth and saw the spurt of "liquor" staining his and Sir Fania's white shirts—and the color on the shirts... it wasn't liquor. It was definitely the color of blood—Buzz finally broke down!
He screamed loudly and tried to back away, but everyone in the room was doing their own thing and no one came up to ask him anything. However, everyone was secretly watching him with a sinister and terrifying smile on their faces!
Even with his strong will, Buzz couldn't help but break down when he personally witnessed such a terrifying scene.
Killers are human too.
Especially for killers with a bloody past, it's difficult for them to remain calm when they encounter the person they killed.
If I were to encounter such a terrifying and bizarre situation again... I'd be lucky if I didn't go insane.
Sir Fania was covered in blood, sprayed all over his face and body. But he seemed completely oblivious. He poured himself a glass of wine and said, "Hmm. This wine is indeed quite good. It's truly worthy of our own blood!"
The last sentence was incredibly sinister. Suddenly, Buzz's vision blurred, and he saw that Sir Fania was covered in blood, not only on his body but also on his face!
Turning around, he saw that everyone in the room, including the little girl, was bleeding from all seven orifices. Their faces and bodies were covered in blood, and they were all walking towards him with a sinister, terrifying, and extremely frightening "hehe" laugh.
"Don't come any closer! Don't come any closer!" At this moment, Buzz had even forgotten that he was still capable of fighting. He was almost instinctively crawling backward, screaming as he crawled.
"My friend, what's wrong with you?" Sir Fania suddenly returned to his normal appearance, smiling like a spring breeze, but in the blink of an eye, he reverted to his blood-soaked state, saying in a terrifying, drawn-out tone, "You killed me, you killed my whole family, I will take revenge, I will definitely take revenge!"
The little girl, Tafa, first transformed into her adorable form: "Uncle Buzz, your hands are covered in blood!" But the next second, she appeared beside Buzz, stuck out her little tongue, and licked his blood-soaked hand, saying in a terrifying tone, "Blood, I like it, I'll taste it... Oh, this is my mother's blood, you killed my mother..."
"Help!" Buzz cried out in despair. "It's not my fault. The organization wants to kill you. I was just following orders."
"What organization?"
"A twelve-petaled golden chrysanthemum. I said. I'll tell you everything."
Chapter 320 Playing Big (Part 1)
"Only twenty minutes?" Wolf Fang looked at Chen Xu with a strange expression. "My God, the last guy held out for twelve hours before giving in, how come this one was finished in 20 minutes? Could it be that his willpower is that weak?"
“No doubt about it.” Chen Xu sighed. “I had no experience dealing with Yamada Daiki, so I just created a random, terrifying illusion for him. But while that illusion was terrifying, it was very slow to take effect on someone with strong willpower. Besides, that guy is Japanese. You know, the Japanese are world-renowned for their weirdness; their horror movies are truly the most terrifying. I guess he watches a lot of horror movies, so those ghosts and gore things couldn't affect him. But I used a different method to deal with Baz. I think if it were you, you'd probably have a hard time resisting it too…”
Upon hearing this, Langya became unwilling and insisted that Chen Xu use this method on him... Moreover, to be honest, Langya was very curious about how Chen Xu interrogated him, because he had no idea what method Chen Xu used, and Chen Xu only told him that he used a hypnotic technique to induce hallucinations.
Chen Xu wanted to slap himself. He hadn't expected these soldiers to be so fearless. If there was anything that could frighten them, it would truly enrage them. So, Chen Xu had no choice but to have Wolf Fang enter the illusion, ordering Xiao Min to retrieve someone Wolf Fang had killed from his memories, and then have that person appear before Wolf Fang. Upon seeing this person, Wolf Fang immediately shouted, "You're still alive?!"
Then, without saying a word, he reached for the gun!
When Wolf Fang realized he didn't have a gun, he wasn't afraid at all and rushed up to give the guy a punch!
But this punch was delivered from within the illusion.
Then the guy turned into a blood-soaked figure. Then, in a drawn-out, eerie tone, he said, "I... am... dead..."
"Dead? A ghost?" Wolf Fang sneered. He cursed, "Even if you are a ghost, I'll kill you again today!"
Then, without caring whether he could hit the guy or not, he went forward and attacked!
This left Chen Xu completely dumbfounded. A guy who's not afraid of ghosts?!
Chen Xu thought that if he were in this situation, he would probably faint from fright... Of course, his first reaction would be to suspect that someone was deliberately messing with him, but... his fists clearly couldn't hit his body!
Could it be that Wolf Fang knew all of this was an illusion, which is why he was so carefree and bold?
It's alright, Chen Xu still has other tricks up his sleeve.
Chen Xu wasn't using ordinary hypnosis; he was using the hyper-realistic sensations of a virtual illusion! Within this illusion, aside from the unseen and intangible, the legendary sixth sense…inspiration, all human senses could be simulated.
Chen Xu had Xiao Min control the vengeful spirit to attack Wolf Fang, and it bit off a piece of flesh.
Wolf Fang frowned and cursed, "This bastard, he can still hurt me?"
The ghost laughed loudly: "How about that? Now only I can hit you, you can't hit me! Watch how I bite off pieces of your flesh!"
Wolf Fang frowned. At this moment, he had completely forgotten that this was an illusion, and that the person in front of him was a Vietnamese special agent who had ambushed and killed several Chinese soldiers years ago before being killed by Wolf Fang.
Seeing how arrogant this guy was, Wolf Fang frowned, finally gritted his teeth, picked up the dagger in his hand, and stabbed it fiercely into his heart!
This scared Chen Xu half to death!
Don't assume there's no death in virtual reality! As mentioned before, the human mind is a strange force. If the simulation is so realistic that it blurs the lines between reality and illusion, there's a high chance that the person will believe they've actually been injured!
Someone like Langya, who actually chose to commit suicide with a single blow, might have actually received a death signal in his brain and thus become brain dead!
There are such examples.
In America, a group of young people played a prank. They blindfolded one of their friends and tied him to a train track. Then a train rumbled closer. The unfortunate guy was terrified, but he didn't know that his prankster friends had actually tied him to a different track, a safe distance away from the one the train was coming from. In the end, the unfortunate guy died.
In layman's terms, he was scared to death.
But in reality, he died because his brain received a very strong death signal when the train was coming!
This is why many people die of fright.
Fortunately, Xiaomin has very strong computing power. The moment the wolf fang pierced his chest, she transformed his dagger and sent it into reality.
"Big brother, please don't play this on me!!" Chen Xu was covered in sweat and almost collapsed to the ground. "You can't beat him, don't try to kill yourself!"
The other soldiers had no idea what had happened. Only Chen Xu and Xiao Min, who had now established a mental connection, saw everything. After Chen Xu explained, Langya realized that what he had just experienced was a hypnotic illusion. He first looked at the spot on his arm where a piece of flesh had been bitten off, and then laughed, "Goodness gracious! This hypnosis is really realistic. No wonder those guys gave in. Sigh, I was thinking, he's a ghost, and I'm a human, so I can't hit him, but he killed my comrades, and I can't let this go unavenged! Even if I become a ghost, I'll still get my revenge! So I decided to commit suicide. I thought that if I became a ghost, I could at least hit you."
Chen Xu fell silent. He finally understood why Wolf Fang was not afraid of those he had personally killed.
Heaven and earth possess righteous energy, which manifests in various forms.
With righteousness in their hearts, evil cannot invade! The Wolf Fang warriors are the nation's elite soldiers; everyone they kill deserves their fate!
Facing these people, they felt no shame. As Langya would say, "I'm not afraid of you alive. Do you think I'm afraid of you dead? At worst, we'll all become ghosts, and I'll still beat you to a pulp!" The fierce general charging down with such murderous aura that even small ghosts dared not approach. When ghosts haunted Emperor Taizong of Tang's palace, two powerful generals of the Tang Dynasty—Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong—wearing full armor, guarded the door, thus preventing evil from harming them! Their portraits, pasted on the door, were also a common sight… These are the door gods of Chinese legend, not some two generals, but Qin Qiong (Qin Shubao) and Yuchi Gong (Yuchi Jingde), two great generals of the early Tang Dynasty.
If you have a clear conscience, you have nothing to fear. Like the two fierce generals of the early Tang Dynasty, Wolf Fang and his men possessed an unyielding sense of righteousness. Naturally, they were utterly unafraid of the little devil.
Under interrogation, both Baz and Yamada Daiki came from the Twelve-Petaled Golden Chrysanthemum's European base, a large one located in a Portuguese port. Yamada Daiki also confessed that there were similar bases in Finland and Italy, but he didn't know the specific locations of other bases.
