Chapter 613: Unraveling the Mystery
by xennovelChapter 613: Even Sh*t Gets Out (Update 1)
At Xiao Yu’s words, Wang Dong’s face suddenly darkened. Lin
Took out a cigarette case, pulled out a cigarette, and lit it—forgetting he was in a car and that it wasn’t even meant for Little Brother.
He looked so greedy, as if even smoking had become an indulgence reserved for the elite…
“Why’d he stop asking? I haven’t even started showing off…” Xiao Yu smirked, setting down his chopsticks as he waited for Wang Dong to process the information.
There was no helping it—when Wang Dong considered the possibility, it shocked him to his core.
The case definitely had problems.
It seemed that some folks built the Chamber of Panic for the sake of a certain experiment.
Experiments on live humans!
As for the nature of the experiment, Xiao Yu hadn’t figured it out yet.
He could only guess it involved human psychology and physicality.
Why say that?
Because a place like the Chamber of Panic easily brings out humanity’s most primal instincts.
One might even say that mankind’s inherent vice is the essence of human nature.
More precisely, it’s a trait shared by all living beings.
The phrase ‘inherent vice’ might sound sophisticated,
but it’s really just another term for Original Sin.
As humans, we try to overcome such vices through good environments and habits.
Yet the emergence of the Chamber of Panic forces people back to their most primitive states.
In order to survive, they’ll stop at nothing.
Selfishness, ugliness, brutality, cannibalism… everything is exposed.
In a primitive society or a post-apocalyptic world, that might be understandable.
The problem is, someone managed to create this nightmare in a peaceful age.
When Xiao Yu shared his theory with Wang Dong,
the older brother was completely dumbfounded by Little Brother’s reaction.
“Are you this bored?”
Wang Dong, with a puzzled look, asked, “What do they gain from such experiments?”
“No pain, no gain,” Xiao Yu replied.
After all, who would do something that offers no benefit?
“You want me to ask someone? Who else would I ask?”
Xiao Yu shrugged. “They did it anyway, and even built a Chamber of Panic. I suspect there are more than one of these places!”
“…”
Wang Dong’s heart pounded and his face twisted in alarm. “Can you stop joking around?”
“Do you think I’m joking?” Xiao Yu sneered.
Wang Dong fell silent.
“Inside the Chamber, I found a room that was unbelievably luxurious, complete with extravagant goods.”
Xiao Yu continued, “But there were no signs someone had lived there long-term. It was clearly just a temporary hideout for whoever built the Chamber of Panic. If even a temporary place is this lavish, they must have money to burn. Judging by human nature, if they created such a place and don’t intend to stay, it implies they have many of these. Most likely, there’s more than one.”
“They’re just rich—old money dogs!”
Wang Dong couldn’t help but join in the banter.
“It’s not just about money,”
Xiao Yu shook his head. “Constructing a Chamber of Panic involves countless factors. To build one like this, you need connections. For ordinary people, money alone won’t get you far.”
Wang Dong nodded in agreement.
He understood the reasoning all too well.
Take, for example, the Chamber inside Jinjiang Amusement Park—it undoubtedly involves many people.
Yet with how cautious they are, tracking anyone down is nearly impossible.
“Not impossible,”
Taking the cigarette from Wang Dong, Xiao Yu lit it and inhaled deeply. “Go check out the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Business Vehicle VS780 in Magic City. See how many showed up near Jinjiang Amusement Park about three days ago.”
“Hmm?”
Wang Dong stared at Little Brother with a questioning look.
“The day I was taken, I first swallowed a pill, then rode in one of these vehicles. Even though I was effectively blind, the car’s seat was distinctive—I’ve sat in one before, so I recognized it instantly.”
A spark lit up in Xiao Yu’s eyes. “I even left an identifying mark on it. Once you find this car, do you really think they can get away?”
“Damn, that’s awesome—666…”
Wang Dong gave a genuine thumbs-up, his face completely sincere.
In forensic work, if you can pin down the car, you can track the people.
Once you catch them, you unravel the entire network—how could they possibly escape?
Within the Chamber, clues can be completely snipped away.
But in the outside world, even a small trace means there’s no running away!
Magic City has many Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Business Vehicles VS780,
but in fixed locations, they’re few and far between.
Especially those that appeared near Jinjiang Amusement Park three days ago.
The National Security investigation moved swiftly.
Using the Tianyan Surveillance Camera, nearby monitors, and various inquiries, it only took half a day.
A Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Business Vehicle VS780 with a local plate was identified.
When Xiao Yu opened the car door and stepped inside, it was confirmed.
It was indeed this vehicle.
What identifying mark did he leave behind?
When Xiao Yu was thrown into the car, his hand grazed the genuine leather seat, tearing a small piece and leaving a mark.
That tiny rip in the leather was all the confirmation needed.
“Arrest them.”
Stepping out of the business vehicle, Xiao Yu issued his command.
Anyone owning the car, anyone connected to it, or anyone who had recently ridden in it—
They were all to be arrested!
No excuses about innocence or bad luck; if there’s a mistake, they won’t be let go.
National Security doesn’t concern itself with evidence like the police do.
Any issues can be sorted out later after proper investigation.
In just one day, Team Two, in conjunction with local law enforcement, launched a citywide manhunt.
One single car was linked to over twenty individuals.
After all these people were gathered in a hall, Xiao Yu strode in.
Activating Wangdie’s Nose, Xiao Yu walked past the assembly of men and women.
Until (Li Zhaozhao) pointed out a young man with a horrified expression and a middle-aged man.
“Take them away!” Xiao Yu ordered coldly.
These two were the ones who, after Xiao Yu had taken the pill, had escorted him out of Jinjiang Amusement Park.
Yet even Xiao Yu hadn’t expected these people to drive around aimlessly.
In the end, they wound up back at Jinjiang Amusement Park, delivering him straight into the Chamber of Panic.
“What are you doing? Why are you arresting us…”
The two suspects struggled and shouted.
In the end, several SWAT teams moved in, and after a flurry of gunfire and boots, everyone fell silent.
Criminals are like that—they won’t give up until there’s no escape left.
They thought Xiao Yu wouldn’t recognize them.
But what did they know? Xiao Yu had their tag on him.
Anyone who had been in contact with him and tried to escape? Not a chance.
I left with my head hung low—exactly as I had schemed when I came to rob.
With a wave of his hand, even sh*t was forced out!
