Chapter 1988: The Search In the Caves -Part 3

"We really do not know anything..." One of the terrorist cell members said as all he could feel right now was merely the huff and puff of his breaths. Fear had taken over him so deeply that the only thing his body could comply with was the command from Kraft.

"They really do not know anything." Kraft sighed as he decided to try root a.n.a.lysis of their memories once more. The 'fast scan' can only reveal so much and if he were to take his time, there could be traces of clues that might prove useful.

Yet at the same time, he knows that he did not have much time to play with. One of the Night Foxes was able to pinpoint the location of an incoming group of people. And their scent was enough to differentiate them from the locals since that group had the stench of spilled blood on their bodies. Thus, Kraft could at most search one cell member and hope that he could get the most out of that.

"System, based on what you have seen, choose one." Kraft said as he tossed the cell member that he had 'played' with to the side. Eleven of them were all lined up at the wall, with broken bodies and loss of limbs. All of them were on the verge of death and were kept alive because of the Sun Foxes' magic.

If the Sun Foxes were to cut their magic away, they might at most live another 2-3 minutes or so before bleeding out and all they need was just a nudge for them to have their lives snuffed out instead of living in h.e.l.l eternity for that 2-3 minutes.

The System originally did not wish to be part of this ...selection process but when given the choice, it had decided to choose the one that Kraft let go most recently especially when he was supposed to be the person with the highest authority and the reason why he was the last to be interrogated.

All the information that Kraft had acquired from the previous ten was sufficient enough to collaborate with the leader's interrogation.

"Urgh so boring. People keep thinking that the leaders have all the information but when in actual fact, it's the people right under the leader that had the most privy of information, not the leaders themselves." Kraft said as he pulled the supposed leader out again and he was begging to just end his life.

"Dude, I am sorry. I am not the one who chose you. If you want to blame someone, please blame my biggest boss," Kraft smiled empathetically as he literally put his hand into the 'leader's' head and he started to scream. "Relax, it doesn't hurt. It really doesn't."

…And the leader really did not feel any pain. Instead, it felt like it was a physical ma.s.sage onto his brain muscles and it actually felt good. The only difference was that he was not supposed to feel positive about it and thus he screamed. "Oh, you~! Be honest about it, or else I will give you real pain." Kraft reiterated and the leader kept quiet.

So, once more, the Devil Fox squeezed the 'leader's' brain in hopes of finding something more relevant. And perhaps he was too numb to the word Fox that he did not notice it during the quick scan but during the deep search, he started to have some suspicion about that particular word.

"Who is Fox?" Kraft asked the 'leader' and the mention of that nickname brought shudders to not just him but the rest of the terrorist cell members as well. It was at that moment, that Kraft literally cast a wide net to capture the thoughts of Fox from the rest of the terrorists with his psychic abilities.

The immediate impression that the Banned Emperor Terrorists gave was that Kraft and the others were the police considering how swift and brutal they acted and fell them. And what's more, Kraft found out that this...

Fox had given them tips that the Chinese Strike Force was coming to annihilate them and they actually created a diversion and a big trap beforehand where just a single drop of blood would activate a summoning circle to call upon the Void Beings.

Bits and pieces of information came together and Kraft was able to mould out the entire scenario with a few a.s.sumptions. (He, as usual, forgets to credit the System for helping him to do this out.)

"Huh, they really think the Void Beings are part of the Celestials? Guess the knowledge gap is really non existential for them. Also, why not Demon Summoning? Does this group of people feel that this is superior to summoning Demons?" Kraft shook his head when he tried to gather more information to ensure that the estimated coordinates based on their memories were correct.

"Technically speaking... the Void Beings is a menace that we cannot handle." One of the Night Foxes said, knowing that speaking out of hand might cause Kraft to punish him.

"Meh, you are right. If angels had been depicted to be either humans with wings or grotesque monsters with angelic wings, I guess they believed Void Beings might be the Celestials they are looking for." Kraft frowned when he made that deduction and that gave the Night Fox a breather that he made the right choice.

"Jin. You are right, there is a sleeper but whether the sleeper is within the current force or outside of it, I do not have enough information. Just that, this sleeper is one h.e.l.l of a crazy b.a.s.t.a.r.d. He recommended a summoning circle. For. Void.

Beings." Kraft sent his comments to Jin and Kong Rong to hear.

"Again?!" Jin complained. "Can you prevent them from activating the summoning circle then?"

"I do not know whether I would be in time, but I know that even with your...a.s.sistance in letting me feel how Void Energy is, I do not have the ability to generate it." Kraft sighed. "So, just a heads up."

But even when he was having this conversation with Jin, he already teleported himself to the approximate location where he should have been. The circle was not activated yet considering there were no bodies around and Kraft had a thinking. Why allow the summoning of a Void Being when he manipulates the summoning with a twist of his own?

"Oooooo! This should be fun!" He thought to himself as he broke the summoning circle by literally decimating a piece of the circle's line with his powers. After which, he took a stone, cut himself, and poured some of his own blood on it so that he could complete the circle.

"Let's see what comes out of this instead!" Kraft was excited to know whether the abrupt change would bring any unexpected surprises. Of course, he was not left without supervision.

The System was eyeing his every movement and had also noted the initial summoning circle's design in case Jin ever needed a summoning circle spell to call out Void Beings now that they knew how the Banned Emperor Terrorists were able to put Demons through the thin veil that separate Earth and the Void Being's World.

But the System was more concerned was how much more they do. Who was their teacher? Or is there a Void Being that controls this particular faction that used Void Beings as a way to terrorise people? Did this particular ideology of using Void Beings being shared with other factions of the Banned Emperor? Are there equally dangerous factions that the Internal Security or the System does not know?

Is this group the same group that Zeru had been chasing after since their attempt to enter the Flower City?

There were so many questions in the System's logic circuit that Kraft's overthinking pales in comparison.

"They are coming! They are coming!" Kraft felt delighted that he could finally see movements from afar as he snapped his fingers and trans.m.u.ted into a Fox. What's the best way to catch a fake Fox? Of course! By becoming a fox himself!

The surrounding environment was also suitable for Kraft in fox form as the summoning circle was being placed in the centre of a derelict abandoned group of wooden houses and it had been overgrown with scrubs and bushes that it was easy for Kraft to hide in there and watch the action.

(Of course, he rather jump up on a branch and oversee the entire situation from the top but there were no good trees around.) He also ensured that he was not within the summoning circle.

The Chinese Strike Force eventually came and they looked extremely well prepared although overgeared seemed to be the right word as Kraft felt there was no need for such equipment. Regardless, he started to count the number of personnel the strike force had and collated it with the System's information. (Kong Rong did allow the System to read through the briefings.

"Ho... who's the missing one?" Kraft asked as he noted that out of the 7, there was one not around with them. The System already started a.n.a.lysing based on their masked features as well as height and voice tones. (Kong Rong really gave everything.) and subsequently reported that a 1st Lt was not in the picture.

The Devil Fox was eager to see where this particular 'fox' is and wished for it to show its true colours before the real fox comes in to show him, who's the person that was worthy of the codename 'Fox'.
