Global Lords: Hundredfold Increments Starting With the Undead

Chapter 335: Chapter 329, Spy Plan_1

Their conversation helped to rouse Lai Gou from his stupor.

Gradually, in his daze, he was able to make out the two figures before him.

He saw the woman who had attacked him, as well as the dark-haired man beside her.

His pupils abruptly constricted when he managed to identify the man’s face.

He was instantly alert.

This was a man he had noticed before.

In the tavern, with an orc girl accompanying him.

With black hair and black eyes, he had caught his attention instantly.

Noticing the man’s gaze on him, Lai Gou closed his eyes again, feigning unconsciousness.

“Is he still alive?” Fang Hao asked after checking Lai Gou’s condition.

“He’s alive,” Little You responded.

They both noticed the eyelids of Lai Gou rolling under them as they spoke.

He was clearly awake already, just pretending to be unconscious.

Fang Hao turned his back, calling two skeleton warriors over from outside the Blood Prison.

He commanded them to pick up the whip conveniently provided in the Blood Prison.

“Help him fully awaken,” Fang Hao said.

The skeleton warriors stepped forward, their stiff arms swinging the whip onto Lai Gou’s body.

Crack,crack!!

With the crisp sound of the whip echoing through the room, Lai Gou screamed from the pain before the third lash had even landed.

Upon opening his eyes, he saw two towering white skeletons punishing him.

His pupils widened in disbelief. Even the whip lashing against him was temporarily forsaken for a scream.

Once the shock subsided, the surging pain all over his body prompted Lai Gou to beg, “Stop! Stop! Just tell me what you want.”

Despite this, the skeleton warriors didn’t pause, continuing to shower blows on him, leaving a trail of lacerations oozing blood on Lai Gou’s body.

Only when Fang Hao felt it was enough did he have the warriors stop.

The two skeletons stood at attention to the side.

Fang Hao seated himself across from Lai Gou, massaging his forehead. “Lai Gou, just talk. If you do, you might feel better,” he said.

Blood-stained and head drooped, Lai Gou questioned, “What do you want me to say? If I have upset you, I’ll make amends, I’m willing to compensate.”

Running a gang and kidnapping people, were Lai Gou’s most polished skills.

He knew well enough that being stubborn would only hurt himself.

“You’ve seen a lot of people like me, haven’t you? If you manage to offend me, wouldn’t I become your next captive?” Fang Hao stated calmly.

At these words, Lai Gou felt a pit in his stomach.

How did this man know he had been planning to capture him?

He was after a particular group of individuals.

The most noticeable common feature among this group was their black hair and black eyes.

He started plans to kidnap Fang Hao after accidentally spotting him in the tavern.

However, by the time he rounded up his men, Fang Hao had already left Lyss City.

And now, he had fallen into Fang Hao’s hands.

“What are you talking about? I don’t think we’ve met before,” Lai Gou feigned confusion.

“Hit him!”

The pair of skeletons on standby immediately moved to action, wielding their whips for another round of merciless lashes.

The properties of the Blood Prison provided a 30% increase in the feeling of punishment pain.

As such, the punishment Lai Gou was currently undergoing was significantly more painful than anticipated.

With each echoing snap of the whip, Lai Gou’s expression became progressively distorted.

He roared, “Enough, I’ll speak! What exactly do you want to know?”

Fang Hao signaled the skeletons to stop once again. “Why do you want to capture us transmigrators?”

Lai Gou’s face darkened drastically. He didn’t expect Fang Hao to know this much.

Why would he know that? It shouldn’t be possible.

“I like it when people play tough. If you spilled the beans too early, I wouldn’t have an excuse to torture you,” said Fang Hao casually. He then turned to the skeletonsagain, “Hithim.”

With that, Fang Hao walked out of the Blood Prison, leaving the skeletons to do as they were told.

The bodies of the five transmigrators still loomed in his mind.

Ripped flesh and unrecognizable faces.

Just the sight of their wretched state was enough to send chills down his spine.

Even though Fang Hao did not see transmigrators as having any special privileges, he could feel the fury in his heart.

Abducting and torturing people just for information collection?

Transmigrators are humans too, how could they be treated this way.

If anything, he hoped that Lai Gou could hold back a bit and not reveal too much too soon.

Breakfast was eaten.

When Fang Hao returned, the sound of whipping was still going on, but Lai Gou seemed as lifeless as a dead dog, hanging limply in mid-air.

The ground under him had turned into a pool of blood.

Fang Hao signaled the Skeleton to stop and went forward to examine.

The breathing had become very weak and death seemed not far off.

Fang Hao took out the Unclean Magnet Talisman from the storage space and directly put it around his neck.

A faint blood-colored glow enveloped Lai Gou.

His split-open flesh began to mend visibly, slowly healing.

This was the first time Fang Hao had seen the effect of the talisman, he didn’t expect it to be this strong, visibly healing at a noticeable rate.

He put away the Unclean Magnet Talisman.

Soon after, Lai Gou slowly woke up.

Seeing Fang Hao sitting in front of him, his body shook violently, and with a crying voice he asked, “What exactly do you want? Why are you treating me like this?”

“Why capture transmigrators?” Fang Hao reiterated his earlier question.

After a brief silence, Lai Gou replied, “I don’t know anything about transmigrators. The orders from above asked us to capture people with black hair and black pupils.”

“Who’s ‘above’? Who are you referring to?”

“My, my, my boss.”

“Who’s your boss? Give me a name.” Fang Hao reminded coldly.

He was not very familiar with these gangsters. The tavern owner had mentioned some gang-related incidents to him before, but he hadn’t given it much thought.

He hadn’t taken much note.

“Lei Li, he’s the one who asked me to do it. I have no idea what would happen after capturing them.” Lai Gou said, somewhat agitated.

Betraying his boss was a grave matter.

If the truth gets out, he would be killed by Lei Li.

But if he doesn’t spill it, he would die right now.

“What about the others? Mention everyone you know.” Fang Hao continued, this time etching the name Lei Li in his mind.

“I don’t know the others, everyone’s appearance is always concealed, I have no idea who these people are. But I am certain that they are from Lyss City.” Lai Gou answered swiftly this time.

Fang Hao stared intently at Lai Gou.

Since he had already betrayed his boss, the likelihood of him lying afterwards was low.

It seemed that the people of the Faceless Cabin always concealed their identities from each other when they met, out of fear of exposure.

“As for those who took part in the abduction, tell me everything you know.” Fang Hao continued.

Even if it was a transmigrator.

For Lai Gou to abduct someone and keep them alive all by himself would not be an easy task, there had to be accomplices.

“Alright.” Lai Gou spouted several names.

Fang Hao’s shadow squirmed, and Little You appeared.

She took a pen and paper and wrote down all the names Lai Gou had given.

“Tell me about all the interrogation locations you’re aware of.” Fang Hao questioned finally.

Without any hesitation, Lai Gou recited all the places he knew.

Getting the information he wanted, Fang Hao appointed the Skeleton to guard the Blood Prison.

He and Little You then left the Blood Prison.

Lai Gou couldn’t die yet, he had to be kept in the Blood Prison.

Further questioning was still required for any information needed in the future.

Back at the lord’s hall.

Fang Hao called down Demitrija, Anjia and a few others.

He recounted every detail of the interrogation to them.

With the future development of the territory leaning towards Lyss City, the threat posed by the Faceless Cabin could not be ignored by Fang Hao.

“What’s your plan, My Lord?” Dimitrija looked towards Fang Hao.

“The development plan for Lyss City is unchanged. At the same time, I am thinking of assigning someone to disguise as Lai Gou to investigate all of the ‘Faceless’, including Lai Gou’s boss, Lei Li.” Fang Hao thought for a moment and let out his plan.

“Disguise?” Everyone looked confused.

Fang Hao took out the demon mask, and said, “Disguise!”
