Chapter 45: The Third Stage, the Sword Catacomb!

Lin Lei smiled faintly.

The three investigators fell silent, then turned to look at Wang Ye.

“The three of you, go over and calm yourself down for a moment. I’ll chat with him alone,” Wang Ye glanced at them.

The three of them nodded, their minds in disarray as they walked off into the distance.

Wang Ye picked up his dagger, walked to Lin Lei, and stepped on his arm.

But Lin Lei didn’t panic. Instead, he said in a low voice, “Comrade, you are different from those good-for-nothings. You have potential and power. If we join forces, we can split the resources of this giant tree equally. I know some secrets. I can even bring you back safely.”

“Return safely?” Wang Ye laughed, “You mean to say that if we leave, we’ll be killed by an invisible sword energy, right?”

Hearing this, Lin Lei was stunned. Then, he suddenly turned to look at Wang Ye, saying in disbelief, “How did you know...”

“I guessed,” Wang Ye stabbed the dagger into Lin Lei’s palm, piercing through it, “Speak. Who exactly are you?”

Lin Lei’s face turned deathly pale, but he endured the pain and didn’t say anything.

“I’m just a Beastmaster who joined the Investigation Corps,” Lin Lei broke out in cold sweat. “Didn’t I say so?”

“An ordinary Beastmaster wouldn’t know so many secrets,” Wang Ye laughed, “Which organization sent you here?”

“What are you talking about? I don’t know...”

Wang Ye looked at Lin Lei, then slowly said, “I won’t kill you. But I will cripple your talent, turning you, a self-proclaimed elite ace, into a true cripple. Tsk, tsk. Lightning Control that is ranked in the top thirty of the Elemental Talent Sequence. This is no ordinary talent. It can even be considered to be on par with some of the talents of the four Ace sequences.”

Hearing these words, Lin Lei’s entire body trembled.

“How about it? Becoming that sort of trash you mentioned just now should feel pretty good, right?” Wang Ye grinned.

“No, no, no!” Lin Lei was frantic, “You should just kill me then! I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you...”

“I don’t know who it is...” Lin Lei swallowed.

“Hm?”

“Listen... Listen to me...” Lin Lei said in a low voice, “Before I came for the assessment, a mysterious black-robed man came to me and told me some things. He said that he would help me to acquire millions or even tens of millions of resources in the Sealed Demon Sword Tomb assessment. I just need to do something trivial.”

“A mysterious black-robed man?” Wang Ye was stunned.

“Yes, I don’t know what he looks like either.”

“What did he ask you to do?” Wang Ye asked after a moment of silence.

“I was told to find a fierce beast that looked like a purple giant tree and kill it. He also told me that I might not be strong enough, so he asked me to wait for a few more people to attack together. After that, I could kill them and take the resources for myself. He also told me that there was quite possibly a Qinglei Peachwood in the purple giant tree and that it was worth millions of dollars.”

“He told me that I had to bring the Qinglei Peachwood out, and I could do whatever I wanted to it. All this information was told to me by that mysterious black-robed man. I don’t know anything,” Lin Lei said in a trembling voice, “He even told me the steps to take! He didn’t promise anything, so I don’t know anything about him. He said that whether or not I want to do this is up to me.”

“Why did he choose you?”

“Perhaps... he is a good judge of character,” Lin Lei said.

“...” Wang Ye.

Indeed, the mysterious black-robed man was a good judge of character.

Wang Ye looked at Lin Lei. It didn’t seem like he was lying.

A mysterious black-robed man?

Could it be that he was one of those who had chased after Ming Kai?

Or perhaps... he was one of those high-level strange gods who were hidden amongst humans?

As for Lin Lei, Wang Ye had never speculated that he was a high-level strange god in disguise.

This was because high-level strange gods were very powerful. Based on the situation just now, if Lin Lei had been a high-level strange god, he would have definitely long discovered him.

On the contrary, Lin Lei had been clueless until his appearance and even deceived by his disguise just now.

In the simulations, as long as he investigated the mirror demon phantom, he would be discovered and killed. As such, there was no way Lin Lei was a strange god.

On the other hand, Lin Lei knew so many secrets.

Thus, Wang Ye guessed that he was probably just a chess piece.

To properly expose him, he had deliberately put on an act.

Of course, it wasn’t all an act. He was indeed quite weak because he had seized the opportunity to have Xiao Jiu do a simulation just now, raising the level of Feathery Habitat to the great success realm.

Thus, he was indeed quite weak now...

After pondering for a while, Wang Ye knocked Lin Lei out with a single punch, then walked over to the three investigators, “Bring him back. As long as you explain the situation clearly to the Investigator Corps, a checking inspector will use spiritual perception on him and his actions. There’s no way for him to escape what he has done here.”

Lin Lei couldn’t die like this. There was no point in him dying here.

Keeping him alive would be useful.

The three of them nodded.

“Wang Ye, what about you?” Yun Xiaobei asked.

“I’m continuing with the assessment. I’m going to the third stage to take a look,” Wang Ye smiled slightly, “After all, I’m so powerful. I can’t possibly just give up in the second stage, can I?”

The three investigators instantly laughed as well.

“Oh right. Wang Ye, you were pretending just now, right? How did you know that he would attack us?” Yun Xiaobei suddenly asked.

“Because I was here earlier,” Wang Ye said, “When I arrived, you were just beginning to fight. I had wanted to attack together, but I discovered that Lin Lei was behind you and was just about to kill you when you were knocked away by a tree branch.”
