"I..." The security guard struggled to recall, then said, "It was just a subconscious thought, an urge to kill anyone who leaked information, so I..."
He looked at his hands, realizing that without Lin Xiao, he would have become a murderer.
This couldn't happen.
The old man's face was grim. The Jile Sect actually had such orders.
Instead of protecting their members, they were ordered to kill them!
After all, dead men tell no tales.
Furthermore, killing a member with no means to fight back would be far simpler than dealing with the police.
This was likely the reason for such psychological manipulation.
"I think I understand now," the old man said in a low voice.
"Are you coming with us?" Lin Xiao pressed the elevator button. Speed was of the essence. If they rushed now, they might still be able to rescue Hu Zhicheng's son.
No one knew what the people from the Jile Sect were planning at this moment.
"Brother Xiao, we need to go. Tonight is the full moon night; they will act."
Ming Yi spoke first and entered the elevator.
The others followed. As for the other security guard lying on the ground, Lin Xiao casually flicked his wrist as he left, using his true qi to dislodge the silver needle from the guard's brain. When he woke up, he should be back to normal.
Hu Zhicheng, inside the elevator, was extremely anxious. He hurriedly asked, "Full moon night? What does that mean?"
"On the full moon night, the power within a newborn can be fully activated. Only by drawing out all the power within the newborn can that cultivation technique be performed to its utmost," Ming Yi explained, looking at the ceiling. After midnight, the ritual would begin.
"Midnight?!"
Hu Zhicheng checked the time. It was already eleven o'clock.
This meant they had only one hour left.
In this hour, they had to arrive immediately, find Hu Zhicheng's child, and rescue him.
This was no simple task.
"Don't worry, it's very close," the security guard said. "This bathhouse is an industry of the Jile Sect, and their headquarters are on the second floor."
"The second floor?"
Lin Xiao blinked. He hadn't expected that the second floor had no unusual aura, and it should be filled with ordinary people.
"Yes, the second floor. The top floor is for members' enjoyment. Each year, members pay a membership fee of ten million. As a benefit, members can enjoy themselves on the top floor without any disturbance, releasing all their desires. If they require women, the Jile Sect will provide them. If they require men, they will also be provided."
"Require men?"
Hearing the security guard's words, Ming Yi and Zhu Guangyu twitched their lips. Indeed, in one of the rooms, the men played even more extravagantly than the women...
"Yes, everything follows desire, according to what the member wants most. Therefore, the top floor is the most private place." The security guard continued, "As for the headquarters, they believe in 'the greatest secrets are hidden in plain sight,' so they placed their headquarters on the second floor. We're almost there."
As he spoke, the elevator arrived on the second floor.
The second floor was where acupuncture was performed, and there was a strong smell of mugwort.
