"Are you sure?"
Lin Xian was somewhat surprised. The organization "Holy Revelation" had never revealed its true form. Other than knowing that they were ardent enthusiasts of the Dark Power, little else was known about them.
Having just acquired that device capable of detecting Taboo Items, Lin Xian originally thought this organization was not only mysterious but also surpassed Phoenix Society, the Federation, and even the Deep Red World in knowledge of Taboo Items, which must imply some means.
Unexpectedly, the member of Holy Revelation controlling Zhou Lei, referred to as âOld Ghostâ, was captured so effortlessly by Monica.
However, considering that the person was a Holy Revelation member and had the power of a Taboo Item, Lin Xian exchanged a cautious glance with KIKI.
KIKI understood immediately and used telekinesis to search the manâs body, and indeed, found a unique metal box. Upon opening it, Lin Xianâs pupils contracted instantly, as the box was of the same type that Hu Lushou had used to deliver the Flashing Bullet!
"Interesting, it seems Holy Revelation indeed has profound research on Taboo Items, with specialized storage devices."
Lin Xian picked it up and opened the box, instantly a layer of dim light spread out, making the train carriage feel as though it was covered in a layer of haze. When he looked up, even Monicaâs red lips seemed a shade lower, looking quite eerie.
Inside the box lay a black candle less than ten centimeters long, about the thickness of a finger, seemingly half-burned. Aside from the wick being charred to a metallic color, it was just an ordinary candle.
In this era, candles were rare, mostly used as art pieces or collected by enthusiasts, with little practical value.
Seeing the candle in the box, Zhou Lei, locked in the isolation chamber not far away, nearly had his eyes pop out. He pointed at the black candle in the box, urgently sputtering, "Thatâs... thatâs the thing I found in that underground warehouse, which was then snatched by those guys!"
Because of the Flashing Bullet, Lin Xian didnât touch the black candle directly, instead, he observed it closely and said,
"Didnât you say youâd die if this thing went out? It doesnât seem to be burning."
Zhou Lei was clearly stunned too: "Huh, right, thatâs what this guy told me, this candle was always lit!"
"Simple." Monica motioned to a subordinate standing behind Old Ghost. That subordinate immediately twisted the electric gunâs knob, then jabbed it into Old Ghostâs side.
Hiss!
A gasping sound of agony resonated as Old Ghost, restrained, jerked violently and screamed out,
"Ah!!"
After a scream, he awoke abruptly from a daze, realizing he was in a tightly sealed train carriage, immobilized, glaring furiously at Lin Xian and the others. But when his gaze landed on Zhou Lei in the isolation chamber, his expression changed instantly as if seeing something terrifying. His eyes flickered for a while before he looked at Lin Xian and spoke,
"Who are you people, why are you capturing me?!"
"Oh, playing dumb." KIKI crossed her arms and stepped back: "Look closely, do you recognize this person?"
Old Ghost shook his head, flatly denying, "Hell no, I donât know this Zhou guy, who the hell are you people to capture someone randomly, Iâm a legal resident of Silent City, I want to lodge a complaint, whereâs the mechanical inspection!!"
As soon as he said that, Lin Xian and KIKI were visibly surprised. How come this guy seemed... not very smart?
"Old Ghost! You donât recognize me?! You kidding me, Iâd recognize you even if you turned to ashes!" Zhou Lei was extremely emotional, nervously tense, fearing Lin Xian might think heâs lying and then crush him with a finger, so when Old Ghost blatantly lied, he lost all reason and erupted.
"Are you a fucking idiot?!" Old Ghost frantically winked at Zhou Lei: "Whyâd you rat me out? Did you forget Holy Revelationâs first doctrine, how am I supposed to save you now?"
"You? Save me?" Zhou Lei looked amazed, sneering, "What does Holy Revelation have to do with me? Didnât you say I was your servant? I was captured by you for seven days, used as a scout 32 times, had to explore every zombie nest and Abnormal Body lair for Taboo Items, even those rotten panties of female zombies you made me pull aside. And now youâre preaching doctrine? Save me? Youâre really fooling me, your conduct would surprise me less if you said you were the exhaust pipe of this train! Idiot!" As Zhou Lei spoke, he became more agitated, and if not for the isolation chamber, he might have rushed up to spit on him.
"Zhou Lei, fuck you!" Old Ghost fumed, countering angrily.
"Go screw the exhaust pipe, Ted lighting a candle, you posers!" Zhou Lei retorted defiantly.
Suddenly, the two were passionately cursing each other, their words causing Lin Xianâs eye to twitch, while Monica couldnât help but frown at the mention of pulling apart female zombiesâ panties and screwing the exhaust pipe, making him quite the character...
"Hey, quiet down."
KIKI couldnât tolerate it further, sheâd squeezed Old Ghostâs mouth shut with two fingers, leaving only muffled, furious growls echoing abruptly.
