MTLNOVEL Chapter 446: Subdivine Skill - God Control
Within the Sea of Consciousness, the winds rage and waves surge.
But inside the office, it's as quiet as night.
Outside the office, Blue Demon and Chang Ye occasionally exchanged glances, both trying hard to find some concern in each other's eyes, but unfortunately, they both failed.
What filled their eyes was confusion.
They had been talking for a while now; would there be any breakthroughs?
Isn't that too optimistic?
Impossible!
Regardless of whether Miao Yan has issues, it's not something that can be discovered just by talking.
But what did that sentence he said before taking action actually mean?
When the water is drained, when the water is muddied, the fish will jump out on their own...
Suddenly, a group of people entered from outside!
The one leading them was unexpectedly the Nine Department Head of the Decision-making Department.
Qianlong is an exceedingly complex and vast organization.
It has the Chief Long and the Decision-making Department.
Of course, overseeing the big picture is the Chief Long, but the Eighteen Department Heads of the Decision-making Department also have authority over major decisions.
Their authority stands at the second level, only beneath the Chief Long.
One level higher than a Heavenly King!
The Nine Department Head, about fifty years old, strode forward with three people behind him, heading straight to Miao Yan's office.
Blue Demon stepped out, blocking his way: "Please wait, Nine Department Head, there's something going on in Miao Yan's office!"
"Oh? King Lantian is here too?" the Nine Department Head said, "What's going on in Miao Yan's office?"
"Investigating the death of Wang Zhongze!"
"Who's investigating?"
Blue Demon was momentarily speechless.
When a superior asks a question, it's expected to answer truthfully; however, Lin Xiaosu's situation is a bit sensitive—a non-staff member! Explaining it is quite troublesome, especially with a heap of mid and lower-level staff around.
Someone else chimed in: "The name is Lin Xiaosu, the information shows he is a non-staff member!"
"Nonsense!" The Nine Department Head's face suddenly darkened: "A non-staff personnel enters the headquarters, directly into such a crucial place, go! Apprehend this person and investigate clearly!"
With a swish, the three people behind him instantly darted forward!
However, just as they crossed the twenty-meter corridor, someone suddenly appeared ahead!
Blue Demon's face darkened like water, and her hand lifted gently!
A flash of electricity, and the three people retreated simultaneously!
"Presumptuous!" The Nine Department Head stepped forward!
Blue Demon's eyes shone brightly, lifting her hand to grab the Nine Department Head.
This was insubordination!
It was a very obvious violation!
However, Blue Demon at this moment couldn't care less, at worst she would bring out the Old Man.
However, just as her hand was about to touch the Nine Department Head.
Someone appeared in front of the Nine Department Head!
Blue Demon's claw landed accurately on this person's shoulder, with a booming shock, Blue Demon flew back far, crashing through the office door behind her with a loud thud!
This person, as straight as a javelin, had a solemn expression, appearing rather unremarkable, yet he was like a towering mountain.
He was unexpectedly the first Heavenly King of Qianlong: Jing Lei!
As strong as Blue Demon was, her grasp on Jing Lei sent her flying directly!
This was the power of Jing Lei!
Jing Lei spoke in a deep voice: "Blue Demon, what are you trying to do? Do you still understand any rules?"
His voice was low and powerful.
In the office behind, everyone stood up.
They looked on in surprise as the two great Heavenly Kings faced off.
Chang Ye stepped between the two, lifting her hand lightly, with a Dragon Eye in her palm.
From the Dragon Eye, a bright spot gradually enlarged, forming the scene of an office.
Behind the office, someone slowly raised their head.
"Chief Long!" Jing Lei exclaimed, coming to attention.
The Nine Department Head was also slightly surprised, coming to attention.
All the people behind them stood up and came to attention.
The Chief Long stood up from behind the desk, seemingly stepping right into this office.
"Listen up everyone!" The Chief Long said: "Lin Xiaosu was invited by me to investigate the case of Wang Zhongze, everyone, no matter the rank, must cooperate!"
"Yes!" Jing Lei responded.
However, the Nine Department Head pointed to the office: "Chief Long, look!"
All the eyes gathered on the office.
Inside the office was a bizarre scene.
Lin Xiaosu stood in front of Miao Yan, with a finger pointing at Miao Yan's forehead.
Blue Demon's heart surged wildly, acting directly? Killing Miao Yan with just one finger? Impossible, right? If you do this, not even the Yellow River can cleanse it...
She could see this, and naturally, others could too.
Everyone's heart pounded, most anxiously Chang Ye...
She knew very well Lin Xiaosu's methods, with just one finger, he could really kill.
Little rival, you mustn't do this, otherwise, even the godfather can't protect you!
Lin Xiaosu suddenly spoke: "Tell me! Was it you who killed Wang Zhongze?"
"Yes!"
With Miao Yan's one-word response, everyone was shaken simultaneously.
How is that possible?
How could it be him?
"How did you kill him?"
"I used the Subdivine Secret Technique along with this God-slaying Pen to kill him."
Everyone's eyes turned to the pen in Miao Yan's hand, Chang Ye and Blue Demon had a wild heartbeat, they suddenly understood Lin Xiaosu's pre-mission question: Is this pen your everyday item?
The pen had long fallen under his suspicion.
But, how does this pen kill?
Lin Xiaosu seemed to hear everyone's inner question and asked the next question: "How does this pen kill?"
"My Subdivine Skill is at Level 28, normally unable to kill externally, at most it's God Control, but this pen contains a Sun Lotus Fragment, which enhances the power of the Subdivine Skill, allowing it to erase his consciousness."
Sun Lotus Fragment!
These four words, even Lin Xiaosu was taken aback.
Sub-god Three Treasures, Lost Lotus, Sun and Moon Double Lotus.
The Lost Lotus is pressed beneath the Abyssal Grand Formation of the Bridge Realm, he saw it, and although he didn't obtain the real lotus, its effect had already been exerted, which was equivalent to receiving it.
There are signs that the Moon Lotus is in the hands of the Utopia Ancestral Hall, which is what the Left Envoy referred to as the Holy Lotus.
He had never heard of the Sun Lotus.
But now, in the hands of this undercover agent in Qianlong, there was unexpectedly a pen, with fragments of the Sun Lotus inside, no wonder the earlier strike was so terrifyingly powerful.
"Where did you get the Sun Lotus Fragment from?" Lin Xiaosu asked a more critical question.
"It was given to me by Liu Ye of the Nine Strategy Department."
The gaze of everyone present instantly turned towards the Nine Strategy Department!
At this moment, the face of the Nine Strategy Department was utterly bloodless.
"So, Liu Ye of the Nine Strategy Department is your superior?"
"Yes, Liu Ye asked me to kill Wang Zhongze..."
"Nonsense!" the Nine Strategy Department roared...
The shadowy face of the Chief Long at the scene sank like water: "Arrest them!"
In a flash, Blue Demon struck!
Stretching out a hand, she pressed down on the left shoulder of the Nine Strategy Department, and on the other side, a shadow flashed, and Chang Ye's finger pointed at the brow of the Nine Strategy Department, her nails were long and shiny.
Her face was radiant and colorful.
Liu Ye of the Nine Strategy Department shouted, "He's lying, I... I've never..."
"Shut up!" Blue Demon snapped coldly, and a strong blue light burst from her hand, enveloping the entire body of the Nine Strategy Department in electricity, causing him to tremble incessantly.
Lin Xiaosu glanced back: "The Nine Strategy Department probably thought that shouting and causing a commotion could interrupt my interrogation, but unfortunately you misunderstood, you can't interrupt! Miao Yan... keep talking! Why did you work for the Nine Strategy Department?"
"Ten years ago, I made a mistake overseas, and the Nine Strategy Department held that over me, so I had to obey him. Later, he used his position to promote me..."
The tremors of the entire Nine Strategy Department intensified.
Lin Xiaosu said, "One last question... Who are your people within the Qianlong team?"
"Wang Hong, Li Li, Zhou Sifeng, Du Hejin..."
Miao Yan mentioned eight names.
The Chief Long's eyes shone brightly: "Red Flag! Go!"
Three words, signifying the downfall of eight people.
Everyone present was in shock.
What kind of interrogation rules are these?
No buildup, no techniques needed, just ask, and the truth spills out like beans from a bamboo tube.
Could this also be a Subdivine Skill?
Miao Yan killed invisibly with a Subdivine Skill.
Lin Xiaosu made him confess with a Subdivine Skill.
The killing technique is extremely frightening.
Because no one can guard against it.
The interrogation technique appears much more mild, but in fact, its terrifying degree is even stronger than that of killing.
Because in just a moment, eight undercover agents were exposed.
How could undercover agents hidden within Qianlong be so concealed? Each of them is proficient in the Path of Concealment; their actions are flawless, but under the Subdivine Skill, all your secrets are laid bare.
This is too terrifying.
This is not interrogation, this is Divine Magic!
Lin Xiaosu slowly turned around, his face slightly pale, strolling over, and walked past Jing Lei.
Jing Lei quietly watched him.
But Lin Xiaosu did not look at him; Lin Xiaosu was looking at the trembling body of the Nine Strategy Department.
"I just decided to come visit Miao Yan, barely arrived, and you came immediately right after. How timely, how clear your objective, but Liu Ye! You're seeking your own destruction!" Lin Xiaosu raised his hand, pointing a finger at his brow.
Strangely, Liu Ye's trembling stopped.
His eyes were filled with confusion.
"Speak! Who is your superior?"
"Cai Qin of the Second Strategy Department..."
The whole place was shocked.
The Decision-making Department counts eighteen Department Heads.
A status above even the Eighteen Heavenly Kings.
They have Second-level Authority, while the Heavenly King possesses Level 3 Authority.
The difference of one level represents an immense difference in status.
Even among those of the same authority level, the actual power is worlds apart.
The Nine Strategy Department is just one Department, but the Second Strategy Department is terrifying.
He is one of the seven-member group!
What is the seven-member group?
Qianlong's highest decision-makers, a total of seven people.
The Chief Long, the main and deputy Flag Master's Red Flag, the Decision-making Department's Great Strategy Department, Second Strategy Department, plus two unknown Hidden Elders whose names and specific duties are undisclosed.
The Second Strategy Department is one of the seven heads of Qianlong!
"Jing Lei!" The voice of the Chief Long called out.
"Here!" Jing Lei spoke.
"Apprehend them!"
"Yes!"
With a swish, Jing Lei broke through the window.
"Chang Ye, you interrogate!" Lin Xiaosu's form rose, following Jing Lei through the hole, leaping up, lightly touching down on the branch just treaded by Jing Lei, ricocheting into the air, almost mirroring Jing Lei's trajectory, lunging towards the building.
Chang Ye was slightly shocked.
Me interrogate?
I don't have your secret technique, will people speak for me if I question them?
Attempting to open his mouth: "Liu Ye, in the Hidden Dragon Team, who are your people?"
"Zhang Yan, Wang Hong, Li Li, He Jingzhong, Zhou Sifeng, Du Hejin..."
Zhang Yan, which is Miao Yan's name, Miao Yan had just spoken eight names, now from Liu Ye's mouth, four more were added, aside from Zhang Yan himself, three others were included.
With the mention of names, Red Flag took action!
Indicating immediate capture.
Chang Ye was stunned.
Lin Xiaosu has already flown away, yet Liu Ye still truthfully speaks.
Is there a delay effect in this secret technique?
Taking advantage of this moment when the effect of the secret technique hasn't worn off, quickly delve deeper...
Blue Demon's gaze drifted across the long sky where two figures slid, her heart undulating layer by layer.
The Chief Long instructed Jing Lei to apprehend the Second Strategy Department, and Lin Xiaosu dropped the half-finished interrogation, hastily following up, why?
She had an uneasy premonition that this junior brother seemed to distrust Jing Lei?
