Once, I wanted to be a good person

"Why does it feel like peaceful days last only one night?"

Thinking this, Fang Ze gradually stopped pondering and temporarily put the matter aside.

After all, those were future concerns, and right now, there was still an old fox standing before him...

Thinking this, Fang Ze looked at Director Pang and continued to probe, "By the way, Director. There's something I'm very curious about."

"How did you fool the lie detection? And how did you escape the 'Prisoner's Dilemma' I set up?"

Upon hearing Fang Ze's words, Director Pang's chubby face momentarily displayed astonishment.

Then he muttered, "So it was you who devised that plan?"

"I thought it was Gu Qing, that pervert, who had formulated it..."

"Prisoner's Dilemma?"

"Nice name..."

After evaluating it, he opened his mouth and said, "Because of my Awakening Ability."

Fang Ze, "Awakening Ability?"

Director Pang, with his hands behind his back, said cheerfully, "Yes."

He said, "Actually, under normal circumstances, a person's Awakening Ability is their greatest privacy and secret. It should not be shared with others." Your next journey awaits at empire

"However, since you are curious, there's no harm in telling you."

As he spoke, he paused, then asked, "Have you ever heard of Dry Bones?"

"Dry Bones?!"

Fang Ze was stunned for a moment.

He had certainly heard of it.

And he had heard about it many times.

Dry Bones involved an Awakening where, with the emergence of power, the flesh completely separated from bones, with the soul residing in the bones, while the flesh could be discarded at will, or changed like one changes clothes.

Wang Hao's first girlfriend was a possessor of the Dry Bones Awakening Ability (see Chapter 7).

He said it was one of the Awakening Abilities best suited for hiding and disguising oneself!

Latter, Bai Ling also mentioned this ability (Chapter 39).

She said this Awakening Ability directly affected a single part of the body. Though powerful, because it did not involve the physical body and relied mainly on the Awakening Ability, "Law Prohibition" would have a miraculous effect...

Thinking this, Fang Ze instinctively reached into his pocket, cautiously touching the cloth-wrapped "Law Prohibition"...

Director Pang did not notice Fang Ze's odd behavior as he continued explaining, "This ability, Dry Bones, regards the body merely as a shell, as mere clothing."

"Only our bones are the true abode of our souls."

"Therefore, lie detection tools often target the wrong part when used, rendering them ineffective..."

Hearing this, Fang Ze gripped the "Law Prohibition" tightly, then asked, "But that still doesn't make sense."

"What does this have to do with breaking the Prisoner's Dilemma?"

"And... Officer Bai Zhi did detect three traitors. If the escapee wasn't a traitor, who was the other one?"

Director Pang said cheerfully, "Who says Dry Bones can only manipulate one body? And who says that after being tested for lies, I can't control another body?"

A flash of insight struck Fang Ze's mind, and he felt as if everything was connected!n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

He couldn't help saying, "So... there actually was no fourth traitor!"

"From the beginning, it was you, Golden Fox, and Han Kaiwei!"

"In the Special Case Team, there was another body you controlled, which allowed you to monitor activities when you weren't there!"

"And after the lie detection ended, realizing something was amiss, you took refuge in Shan Hui's body!"

"Because you could exchange information!"

"That's why you weren't caught by the Prisoner's Dilemma!"

Director Pang first nodded, then shook his head.

He said, "You're wrong about one thing. The reason I knew that night was a setup was not because I controlled Shan Hui."

"Controlling him was indeed to absolve myself of guilt."

"But I wasn't deceived because…" he looked deeply at Fang Ze and said softly, "I knew how many traitors were in the Special Case Team. I also calculated that Bai Zhi's 'Twenty-Two Winged Angel' would break on the 24th attempt."

"Therefore, if she had any sense, she would definitely trust the 24th investigator tested."

"So..."

In that instant, Fang Ze felt his skin crawl.

That day, it was indeed the 24th investigator, disguised as a Black Clothed man, who collaborated with Bai Zhi and Bai Ling in their act. That investigator was the executor of the entire Prisoner's Dilemma…

No wonder...

Everything made sense...

...

Possibly seeing the shock on Fang Ze's face,

Director Pang chuckled, then nonchalantly said, "Don't worry too much about these minor details."

"These are all insignificant matters."

"Also, don't pity the investigator or Shan Hui."

"You must understand. To achieve a great ideal, some sacrifices are necessary."

Upon hearing Director Pang's words, Fang Ze came to his senses and gradually calmed down.

Director Pang, seeing his composed demeanor restored, nodded in satisfaction and praised, "I truly didn't misjudge you."

"Your intelligence, your calm, your potential, your strength, all are top-notch..."

"Rest assured. For a talent like you, the organization will definitely invest resources to cultivate you."

"And you can also access resources in the Security Bureau."

"Double the resources, enough to make you grow rapidly!"

"Soon, you will become the number one among the younger generation surpassing Bai Zhi!"

"Admired by thousands!"

"And what we need is not much, just a bit of minor information, a few little clues..."

Saying this, he couldn't help but stretch out his plump hand, "How about it? Join us."..........

...........

10 minutes later.

"Boom!"

A body was fiercely thrown down from the rooftop of the Qingshan City Investigation Bureau, crashing heavily onto a fruit stand by the roadside!

"Buzzing!!!"

The entire Qingshan City was filled with a piercing alarm!

The Governing Hall, the Investigation Bureau, countless people in horror holding weapons, firearms converged towards the rooftop of the Investigation Bureau.

Mixed among them were Awakeners from the Security Bureau arriving through the air!

Soon, the rooftop of the Investigation Bureau was completely surrounded.

Everyone tensely aimed their weapons, firearms at the young man in front of them with a sunny smile.

The young man, holding a dagger, drenched in blood, standing on a mound of mangled flesh and blood, turned around, flashed a grin, looking particularly upright and sunny, "Don't panic. I'm one of you. I can explain...."
