The Good for Nothing Seventh Young Lady - Chapter 2452

Chapter 2452: Self-Explosion (1)

Qin Ge smiled and said, "Just a trifle; it's not worth mentioning."

"Qin Ge, you are too modest." Shen Yanxiao laughed in spite of herself. The increase in the number of experimental subjects by Uncle Jiu’s side was due to the work of the Silver Hands. Based on Lan Fengli's character, if he had gone alone, he would not have left anyone alive and would have surely killed them all. Fortunately, some people from the Silver Hands followed him around, which saved those subjects who had still not lost their minds.

"Although many bases have been found, unfortunately, we haven’t found what Lord wants." Qin Ge had always been very depressed about this point. No matter how much they looked for it, they didn’t have the slightest clue. Other teams had completed their tasks very well, except for their side, which had not been able to complete theirs after over two years.

Qin Ge felt rather guilty about this.

Shen Yanxiao smiled slightly, "I have found what I am looking for. It was already not in the Radiance Continent, so it’s just natural that you were not able to find it."

"Is that true? Congratulations to Lord!" Qin Ge was delighted upon hearing so.

The Silver Hands could be regarded as the only organization in The Rising Sun City that had not increased its manpower at present. It was not that Qin Ge was unwilling to accept people. It was just that the Silver Hands was a special organization that not any person could enter. Its members were all thieves who were accomplished in stealing. In such a stable and peaceful place as the Barren Land, let alone stealing, even if you threw something halfway, a demon would send it back to you. Who would dare to steal under the patrol of demons?

According to the investigation conducted by the Silver Hands, the locations of the various bases of the Warlocks, who secretly carried out the forbidden technique, were scattered throughout the Radiance Continent. There were hidden gathering points in the Long Xuan Empire, the Lan Yue Dynasty, the Seven Kingdoms, and the Divine Wind Alliance. Even around the Barren Land, two such points were found. Meanwhile, there was nothing suspicious inside the Barren Land.

The members of Silver Hands, relying on their ability to come and go without a trace, gathered intelligence everywhere. Just a year after Shen Yanxiao left, they discovered seven or eight bases one after another, and Lan Fengli smashed them to bits one by one. About a year ago, the Warlocks finally noticed the situation and gradually shifted their positions. Although Silver Hands’s work afterwards still bore results, most of the bases were already empty. There were very few bases that had not been completely evacuated, but these still left no valuable clues. Instead, they just caught a few fish that had escaped the net.

"Those guys were so tight-lipped that no matter how we interrogated them, they wouldn't say a word. Within a few days, they blew themselves up." Qin Ge felt numb on his scalp when he thought about it now. In order to keep the secret, the Warlocks actually planted a self-explosion curse in their own bodies, blowing up their flesh and bones. The force of the explosion even carved a hole in the dungeons where they were being detained. If they happened to have exploded themselves on the way back from their capture, many members of the Silver Hands responsible for transportation would probably have suffered.

"Are you sure it was suicide?" Shen Yanxiao slightly raised her brow.

Qin Ge froze for a moment before saying hesitantly, "I also had doubts before, so I asked Master Yun Qi to check it out, but the remains of those people had been thoroughly blown to bits and pieces; there was simply no way to find out the reason."

A self-explosion curse detonating in one's own body was equivalent to a bomb exploding in the same spot. Let alone a corpse, one would not be able to find even an intact bone. Such a death was extremely tragic and creepy.
