In front of us right now was a gigantic food processor that was producing a decidedly human voice. And this human voice said it forgot who it was
Combining that with the fact that Floater found evidence of people being dragged here it was clear to anyone with a brain what this machine was actually meant for
What a horrific way to murder a person assuming the above was correct
No
Lixiang quickly picked up on this possibility as well. She covered her mouth and gasped in horror, eyes filled with disbelief. The way humans treat each other is truly the worst!
Do you recognise this item? I opened up my palms to reveal the USB stick. Did you drop this?
That looks familiar but I cant remember The mysterious voice seemed to be able to perceive the outside world through some unknown means. His voice almost quivered as he said with a pause, I feel I should know it but I just cant remember
Should I open it up?
Please please do
Alright, Ill open the USB.
By employing my electronic AI, I didnt even need to insert the USB before opening up its data storage.
Within it was a lone video file, which I played on my holographic display.
Like an old cinema, a video of an average-looking youth in casual clothing appeared on screen.
Greetings everyone, Im your reporter for the Federation Broadcasting Station (FBS), Zuoqiu Shanming. Behind me is the underground munitions factory and storage facility, hidden within an abandoned warehouse, which I mentioned before. Do not be fooled by its decrepit exterior, but here in the most remote regions of the 12th District, where no one frequents without reason, lies a den of criminal activity
Zuoqiu Shanming?! Floater barely held a gasp back as she stared at the reporter on screen. Youre THE Zuoqiu Shanming?
Who is Zuoqiu Shanming?
Xue Guode!
Thats right, its me. I bet you never expected that this day would arrive when you exposed me, did you?
You psychopathic scumbag merchant! Why are you still alive? Werent you already
Xue Guode kicked the reporters side before he could even finish his sentence, cutting him off right at the crucial moment.
Cough, cough Zuoqiu Shanming tried to double over in pain, however the burly mens hands kept him pinned down.
I bet you still dont know that it was Committee Member Li who saved me right at the last moment. Or should I call him, cousin-in-law? His smile grew even wider at that point. I knew you wont give up after exposing me like that, but just when I was considering whether or not to escape to another planet, my good old cousin got hitched to Committee Member Li what a fortuitous turn of events, even the heavens are protecting me!
Committee Member Li?
Thats right, Committee Member Li.
Impossible how can it be him he clearly Zuoqiu Shanming shook his head in disbelief, completely unable to accept the reality of the situation.
Why not? He was the one who gave you the address. Even the secret codes were given by him. Yet here you are, pinned to the ground. Isnt that proof enough?
Zuoqiu Shanming was left speechless by the momentous betrayal.
Really, how old do you have to be before you grow out of your little justice make-believe? Xue Guode smiled derisively. Anyway, I need to check on the surprise I prepared for you. Wouldnt want it to mess up at the best moment. You two, teach him a lesson first, then burn him but dont burn him to death, I want him to be barely alive for the last part. I did swear to rip you to shreds and turn you into mincemeat. I might not be the best person ever, but I keep my promises.
Barely a second after the man left, the two burly men started beating up the poor reporter. And as instructed, they set him on fire.
Wreathed in flames, Zuoqiu Shanming desperately tried to put out the flames by tossing and turning. Unfortunately, that wasnt going to cut it at all
From that point, the video proceeded as expected. Severely injured but still alive, the two burly men put out the fire before dragging the half-dead Zuoqiu Shanming towards the kitchen
