Chapter 1139: Chapter 879, Spiritual Love Chapter 1139: Chapter 879, Spiritual Love “This involves the secret of my advancement.” Wu Heng hesitated, then said, “I can only tell you that a large part of it was buying bodies from outside.”
The elf glanced at the Special Item, which showed no reaction, so that means it's the truth.
“What's the deal with these oddly shaped skeletons around you?”
“I can't tell you, only that it has nothing to do with Necromancy experiments,” Wu Heng stated directly.
For the fourth question, the elf asked, “Are you a reincarnation, or have you taken over this body in some other way?”
“No!” Wu Heng replied.
The elf looked at the Dwarf Leader and Lilith Leader, and seeing them nod, turned the mask back around.
The room fell into silence again, with the investigators of both parties writing non-stop on paper.
When the writing stopped, the Dwarf Leader continued, “Alright, questions are over. We will stay on the island for two more days to continue investigations in some locations.”
“I will take you to places guarded by skeletons,” Wu Heng said.
“Agreed!”
Perhaps feeling that Wu Heng truly had no issues, the dwarf's attitude had improved quite a bit.
“You may go back now,” the Dwarf Leader spoke again, with a tone similar to releasing a prisoner.
Wu Heng took back his earlier thought about the dwarf's improved attitude.
“Lilith Leader, we'll be leaving now,” Wu Heng stood up and greeted Lilith.
They nodded in response.
Wu Heng, along with the people from Xi Ligui's side, left the conference room directly.
Walking out the door.
Some members were waiting outside.
“Is Wu Heng okay?” Cavina pressed through the crowd and asked worriedly.
As Wu Heng's teammate from Black Stone Town, and because Wu Heng was transferred here, she truly didn't want any trouble for him.
“I'm fine. With my integrity, I'm not afraid of their investigation,” Wu Heng said with a smile.
Cavina breathed a sigh of relief, “Good to hear you're fine, that dwarf…”
Wu Heng immediately made a silencing gesture.
He's still inside the room.
Cavina realized that and shrank back, not daring to say more.
Wu Heng might confront heroes head-on, but she, just a common Captain, had no grounds to challenge them.
After saying hello to a few people there,
Wu Heng was about to step outside when he saw a man wearing a hood that completely covered his face, standing in front, bowing respectfully with fear and pity in his eyes.
Underneath the hood was a sealed mouth.
The professional who had his mouth sealed by Wu Heng himself, back in the factory.
With a casual wave from Wu Heng, the man's mouth reappeared.
“Thank you, Island Lord Wu Heng!” The man bowed deeply again.
“Uh-huh,” Wu Heng nodded and walked away.
The man kept bowing until Wu Heng had disappeared before slowly straightening up.
Back in the conference room.
After Wu Heng and the others had left.
Only the members of the headquarters remained in the room.
Lilith said, “Bruno, curb your bad temper.”
“Why don't you say that to the kid!” The dwarf glared back in response.
“You're over two hundred years old, and he's just in his twenties. Do you want me to go lecture him?” Lilith questioned.
Uh…
The Dwarf Leader stroked his beard, finding her argument reasonable.
The Dwarf Leader then said, “If there's no issue with Gold and Silver Island, of course, I wouldn't say anything.”
“I will report today's matters back to headquarters. For the next few days, you should restrain yourself as well,” Lilith stated plainly.
“I know what to do; you don't need to remind me.” The dwarf stood up and added, “Let's step outside; he has to deal with the side effects of the Special Item.”
Lilith also glanced at the elf holding the mask and stood up to follow outside the room.
The door closed, and from within, the elf was faintly heard speaking to the mask, “For the sake of a man, I specifically chased his wife.”
Returning to the Island Lord's Mansion.
Shanaela and the maids all gathered around.
“How is it? Did the headquarters give you a hard time?” Shanaela asked anxiously.
Andre Willow had returned earlier, and she must have already informed everyone.
Wu Heng said, “No worries, they asked me some questions at the association, and there were no issues.”
Necromancy experiments surprised Wu Heng a bit.
When they asked if he had conducted any living sacrifices or Necromancy experiments.
The first thing that came to Wu Heng's mind was the prison from Zombie World.
Although he answered no, he was still prepared to be revealed by the Special Item.
But the Special Item did not react.
What is the mechanism for the mask to detect lies? Mental fluctuations, or language, or Perception?
In any case, it did not produce any lie detection effect.
It might be possible that the prison doesn't fall under the category of necromancy experiments.
“Will they continue the investigation?” Andre Willow continued to ask.
“We will stay for another two days, and I will accompany them to any key locations on the island,” Wu Heng leaned on the sofa, stretching lazily.
Consequently, he wrapped his arms around the shoulders of both Shanaela and Andre Willow.
“It's good you're fine,” Andre Willow half leaned into his embrace.
Shanaela then said, “This time it's fortunate the Lilith Leader was present; to a great extent, she eased the conflict between both sides.”
“I felt the same.”
Mini brought over a cup of tea, then said, “Master, Mrs. McIntosh called earlier.”
“Uh-huh.” Wu Heng stood up and walked over to the phone to call her back.
Soon, 'McIntosh's voice came from the other end of the line, “My lord, the Hunter fleet has landed on the island, you're aware of that, right?”
“I know, just came back from there.”
McIntosh continued, “After they landed, they divided some people at the port to different locations for exploration, some inquired at the tavern, some in residential areas, at the outskirts of Port No.2, and even on several commercial streets, making use of scrolls resembling those for exploration.”
Wu Heng's eyebrows raised.
This Dwarf Leader seemed rough but had made such arrangements in advance.
“No need to interfere with these actions, we have nothing on the island they could possibly find; just keep an eye on them,” Wu Heng instructed.
“Understood! I'll go and make the arrangements then.”
“Good!”
After hanging up the phone, Wu Heng continued to call the Steward's Office of the association.
To avoid suspicion, he didn't go to the office with the two sisters before, now it was a good time to call and inquire about the situation.
After two rings, the voice of Shi Yali came from the other side, “Hello!”
“Is it convenient to talk?” Wu Heng asked.
“It's convenient, just Xi Ligui and me.”
“How are they doing?”
Shi Yali spoke in a lowered voice, “We've arranged accommodations for them, they have all returned to the dormitory.”
“Oh, as long as there are no problems.”
“Don't worry, I'll inform you if anything comes up.”
In a spacious and bright dormitory of the association.
The Dwarf Leader sat at the table, removing the clasps hanging from his beard.
Behind him stood his likewise heavily bearded assistant, reporting the arrangements for the members, with most staying on the ship, and a few staying in the association's dormitory.
At this moment, someone knocked on the door.
The assistant went over to open it, letting in several members who had been out.
“Leader!” The group saluted.
“How did the investigation go?” The Dwarf Leader glanced sideways at them.
These were the members who had split up to investigate at the port.
One of them reported, “We conducted separate explorations of the island, the number of skeletons is overwhelming, but we didn't find any experimental bases or transformation graveyards.”
Another followed, “We've questioned the local residents, and they adore him on the island, they simply don't believe he would carry out necromancy experiments.”
The others also reported their findings one after another.
The intelligence was more or less the same; aside from the exaggerated number of skeletons, there were no clues found regarding any experiments.
The Dwarf Leader nodded.
He was not surprised by this result.
Rising quickly, everything clean on the island, and adored by the residents.
How could such a person be a Necromancer!
“Go back and rest, continue to inspect the other areas tomorrow,” the Dwarf Leader directed straightforwardly.
“Understood!” The members responded.
“Make sure everyone who landed on the island stays in line, anyone who stirs up trouble in this matter can leave the Hunters on their own initiative,” the Dwarf Leader reiterated his instruction.
“Understood, Leader!”
After saluting again, the members exited the room.
The door closed.
After hesitating, the assistant still asked, “Leader, do you think there's a problem with him?”
“The likelihood of a problem is not high; that woman Lilith is best at intelligence, she would have discovered a problem on the island long ago,” said the Dwarf with a smile.
The assistant spoke, “This Island Master truly is somewhat courageous.”
Laughing, the Dwarf Leader said, “I wasn't quite convinced before that he dare kill the Pope, but now it seems, he really does dare.”
In the study of the Island Lord's Mansion.
After Wu Heng returned, investigating Gran was the first to fly back.
Gran spoke, “That Leader also arranged for others to investigate the island; they will also continue searching for clues separately tomorrow.”
“I've instructed McIntosh to make arrangements for someone to keep a close watch; we don't hold any leverage in this world, they'll get nowhere even if they exhaust themselves searching,” Wu Heng took a sip from his teacup.
Gran nodded, “Also, be careful, someone might try to frame us at this time.”
“Mhm, we will be mindful of that,” Wu Heng nodded.
As they were speaking, Bella also flew back in.
Taking the lead, she said, “Wu Heng, that male elf who questioned you, he's in the conference room divulging his secrets to the masked one; he himself seeks a romantic love on a spiritual level.”
“What does that mean? Is there a problem with his spirit?”
