Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train-Chapter 856 - 360: Forced Into Submission (Part 2)

Zhou Lei, at this moment, was not as panicked as before. The black candle along with Old Ghost had been caught, and the candle was in an extinguished state. This indicated that Old Ghost might have been lying to him before, so he wasn’t going to die for now. Comparatively, Old Ghost was in more trouble than he was. What did he have to worry about?

Lin Xian also observed Zhou Lei. From the long-standing resentment this guy exhibited, the situation he described was likely true. This made him curious about the real characteristics of this black candle. If one acquired this ability, wouldn’t it mean that one wouldn’t be detected by zombies and Abnormal Bodies to some extent?

"Finished arguing?"

Lin Xian walked up to Old Ghost and raised his hand to create a metal stool with shackles. Then he had Monica’s two subordinates cuff him and leave the compartment, and he began interrogating Old Ghost.

"Will you confess voluntarily, or do we have to force it out of you?"

Old Ghost watched as Lin Xian produced a metal stool out of thin air, and couldn’t help but reveal a look of shock in his eyes. He sat on the cold stool, looking at the chains on his hands, and tried to defend himself with a panicked face, "Confess to what? Hey, buddy, haven’t I been on good terms with you guys?"

"Is that so?" Lin Xian turned his head to look at KIKI and Monica.

"Technically, we haven’t had any dealings with the Holy Revelation," Monica said.

"But they cooperated with the Deep Red World, they’re definitely not good people. We can take them out!" KIKI said proudly.

"But we also work with the Phoenix Society!" Old Ghost immediately defended himself loudly. "And... and the Federation, we’re also collaborating with the North American United Front. What does that prove? We only care about Taboo Items and Disaster Plants, we’re not the ones doing the heinous acts!"

"Oh?" Lin Xian raised an eyebrow and said, "So you’re saying the Merlion Statue at Star Abyss No. 5 has nothing to do with you?"

"Of course!"

Old Ghost refuted without hesitation, "We’re only responsible for testing the characteristics. We can’t contain that thing, and what the Deep Red World does is none of our business."

"How do you know the characteristics of a Taboo Item?" Monica asked.

"How could I tell you that?" Old Ghost puffed out his chest and said disdainfully, "Our Holy Revelation has its own unique ways. That’s commercial secrecy. Would you easily share your commercial secrets with others?"

"Captain Lin!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Lei immediately retorted, "Don’t listen to his nonsense. The Holy Revelation is nothing good, they’re running with the tigers, treating Abnormal Bodies as gods. Does this B-like person look like a good guy to you?"

"You, you, you damn..."

"Shut up." Lin Xian directly stopped Old Ghost’s retort, impatiently saying, "So you’re not willing to confess voluntarily. Okay, Monica, do you have any ideas?"

Monica’s gaze swept coldly over Old Ghost. "Simple, castrate him first."

Old Ghost shuddered at her words, his face instantly turning pale, "No, no, let’s talk it out, don’t get physical, don’t get physical!"

Lin Xian glanced at Monica and thought to himself that this woman really hit the mark. From what Zhou Lei said, this Old Ghost was clearly a lecher, and with just one sentence, she had effectively made Old Ghost a eunuch.

"First, tell us, what are you looking for here?"

Lin Xian took out a detector and asked.

Old Ghost licked his lips, glanced at Zhou Lei, and said guiltily, "I’m, of course, looking for Taboo Items. This device is for that purpose. I really have no hostility towards you..."

"Is that so?" Lin Xian smiled and pointed directly at the black candle, "Then tell me, what is this for?"

"This is a Taboo Item!" Old Ghost immediately became serious, as if he were explaining something significant. "Once you light it, you can contain it, and then you can hide in the shadows, making it hard for others to find you. Even the dark attacks you suffer will be reduced, and the chances of being detected by Abnormal Bodies will be lower!"

"Hey, then why didn’t you light it to hide your tracks?" KIKI directly asked.

"It... it doesn’t have to be lit all the time, as long as it’s lit once... then, then, then," Old Ghost hurriedly and incoherently explained.

On the other side, in the isolation chamber, Zhou Lei, upon hearing this, almost popped his eyes out and shouted, "Damn, didn’t you say people die once the candle burns out?" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"Nonsense, if I didn’t say that, would you have listened to me and entered Star Abyss?" Old Ghost’s gaze flashed with a certain ferocity.

"Damn you..." Zhou Lei was about to passionately speak again, but Lin Xian raised his hand and interrupted.

Old Ghost watched this scene and looked at Zhou Lei with some mockery, "This guy isn’t a good person either. You’re not going to make an enemy of our Holy Revelation because of him, are you?"

"So, if I light this candle, I can hide my tracks, right?" Lin Xian looked at the black candle in the box and asked doubtfully.

"Yes, yes, yes," Old Ghost nodded repeatedly, saying very seriously, "But it has side effects, so I suggest you don’t try it lightly."

"Alright."

Upon hearing Old Ghost’s words, Lin Xian directly closed the box and put it away.

"Hey, don’t you want to try it?" Old Ghost didn’t expect Lin Xian to be so receptive, and upon hearing a suggestion not to try, he really didn’t. Why wasn’t this man playing by the rules?

In a post-apocalyptic world, the ability to be invisible was so powerful. Could anyone withhold the urge???

"Didn’t you say it had side effects?" Lin Xian smiled.

"I..."

Before Old Ghost could come up with a reason, Lin Xian suddenly raised his hand, materializing a handgun, the dark barrel aimed at the center of Old Ghost’s forehead, and he pulled the trigger without hesitation.
