Chapter 374 - 254: Another Hard Case
Lin Qi did have a way to make the Moon Worshiper talk—he just needed to use his previous methods again.
But after the interrogation, the man could not, under any circumstances, be returned to Ding Yang.
When the time came, if that Moon Worshiper started spouting nonsense, pointing at Lin Qi and yelling "Blood Moon Envoy," and then exposed Wei Yue’s existence, Mo University Camp would instantly be branded as a Moon Worshiper faction.
Even if Lin Qi was innocent, he wouldn’t be able to explain it.
This was a secret of the Wizard Profession, and a Wizard Profession from the Cyber World at that.
The Wizard Profession had not yet appeared in the Doomsday World.
Ding Yang fell into a thoughtful silence but quickly came to a decision. Gritting his teeth, he said, "I’m willing to trust Mo University Camp. I’ll have my men send the Moon Worshiper over right away."
Lin Qi nodded and said to Ding Yang, "Once you bring him here, Director Ding, just coordinate with Wang Ziru."
Wang Ziru would handle the initial handoff and take the prisoner to Wei Yue. Only then would Lin Qi go and join the interrogation.
This was to prevent the Moon Worshiper from immediately shouting something like "Blood Moon Envoy" the moment he saw Lin Qi, which could easily lead to a misunderstanding with Ding Yang.
Ding Yang had already made his decision. With no objections, he gave a word of assent and left the meeting room.
He headed straight back to Hongshan Camp to make the arrangements.
Lin Qi left the meeting room, found Wang Ziru, and gave him his instructions. "Hongshan Camp will be sending someone over soon. Arrange a team to handle the handoff and escort the person to Wei Yue, but don’t let Ding Yang’s men follow."
"Understood!" Wang Ziru never questioned Lin Qi’s decisions, even when an order sounded a bit strange, seeming to imply they were to do something behind Ding Yang’s back.
After briefing Wang Ziru, Lin Qi returned to the sixth floor of the Club Activity Building.
He entered the production workshop to guide the research and production efforts of the workhorses, something he hadn’t done in a long time.
Currently, the workhorses were simultaneously preparing for the production of a new spacecraft and going full-throttle manufacturing Prosthetic Body equipment for the Mo University Camp squads.
They were already proficient in Prosthetic Body production, but they still needed Lin Qi’s guidance when it came to the underlying principles and design concepts.
...
Ding Yang didn’t keep Lin Qi waiting long. A little over an hour later, a vehicle from Hongshan Camp slowly rolled into Mo University Camp.
The aura of Extraordinaries emanated from the vehicle. Two Tier One Peak Extraordinaries from Hongshan Camp were personally handling the escort.
They were paying this first-generation Moon Worshiper the proper respect.
He was a Tier Two Extraordinary, after all, and his combat power was nothing to scoff at. If not for their numerical and equipment superiority, Hongshan Camp would have struggled to capture him.
"Good work, soldiers. You can leave the rest to us." Wang Ziru was already waiting downstairs to greet them with a fully armed field team.
Some squad members were already equipped with newly produced L-Class Prosthetic Bodies, enough to let them handle Tier Two monsters.
The soldiers from Hongshan Camp recognized Wang Ziru. They knew he was the second-in-command of Mo University Camp, so they had no suspicions.
Still, he offered a word of caution to Wang Ziru. "Be extra careful with the transfer, man. He’s a Tier Two Awakened."
Wang Ziru was a little surprised. Lin Qi hadn’t mentioned this.
’The boss has so much faith in me! This is a testament to his trust in my abilities!’
Far from being worried, Wang Ziru felt a surge of pride.
Wang Ziru immediately made new arrangements, sending for Mo University Camp’s own Extraordinary squad to assist with the escort.
Before long, the special squad appeared.
It was Mo University Camp’s Extraordinary squad, led by Xia Chu. On average, they possessed Tier Two Extraordinary Combat Power, and all of them had undergone Prosthetic Implantation with L-Class Prosthetic Bodies manufactured by Mo University Camp.
The soldiers from Hongshan Camp were stunned when they saw the team’s loadout.
They were well aware of the combat power boost granted by Prosthetic Bodies, having seen Mo University Camp’s Implanters in action recently.
But beyond the visual shock of the Prosthetic Bodies, the Extraordinaries from Hongshan Camp clearly sensed the auras of Spiritual Power being deliberately released by the squad members.
One word surfaced in their minds.
Elite.
True elites.
"Brother Wang, is this your Mo University Camp’s Awakened squad? This is just too..."
He trailed off, but the Extraordinary from Hongshan Camp couldn’t hide his utter shock.
The pressure from their Spiritual Power was immense!
The weakest member of this squad was at least Tier Two.
And their leader... she wasn’t far from Tier Three!
You could say the impact this one squad had on him was no less than that of a Tier Three Powerhouse from Headquarters.
’Perhaps, working together, this squad could actually take on a Tier Three!’
Wang Ziru was usually swamped with administrative work, so he actually hadn’t realized Mo University Camp’s Extraordinary squad had become this powerful.
With the boost from their Prosthetic Bodies, every single member of the team, if considered individually, was among the absolute strongest below Tier Three.
"My friend, when Mo University Camp does something, you can rest easy."
"A mere Tier Two Extraordinary isn’t going to make any waves here at Mo University Camp."
"Forget Tier Two, even if he suddenly became a Tier Three, with Lin Qi around, he could be suppressed with a single hand."
Though Mo University Camp and Hongshan Camp were sister camps on the surface, at the end of the day, in Wang Ziru’s eyes, they were outsiders.
In front of outsiders, Wang Ziru naturally had to display Mo University Camp’s most confident side.
The Extraordinary from Hongshan Camp swallowed hard and nodded blankly.
’As expected of a sister camp. Their strength is incredible.’
’Mo University Camp might just be the most powerful independent camp in all of Dragon Country, second only to Headquarters.’
"Brother Wang, he’s all yours. I have to get back and report to Vice Director Ding."
