Chapter 661 - 286: That Deeply Rooted Defiant Streak!!

Ji Lang answered quickly this time, but then shook his head forcefully, "Yes! But... it’s not just our Ji Family! We did it together with another family! It seems to be called ’Luo’? Or something... I really can’t remember clearly!"

"I only heard once from afar that someone from above had a big argument with people sent from over there because... because of the division of goods and whose responsibility it was to secure the transfer routes! The argument was fierce!"

He strained to recall, his face twisted with pain.

"Luo?"

Fang Qingyu noted down this word, continuing his questioning, his voice suddenly turning cold.

He asked the most pressing question weighing on his mind: "Third question: Why? Why would your Celestial Frost Castle Ji Family, along with that Luo Family, go to such great lengths and take such massive risks to capture the Federation’s precious Tier Two combat forces and deliver them to the Life Ghost?"

When this question was asked, the whole living room fell into silence.

Even Chu Kuanglan temporarily suppressed his anger, his brows deeply furrowed.

Yes, what is the motive?

To curry favor with the Life Ghost? Such little goods are just a drop in the bucket for the Destiny Ghost Army.

To exchange for resources?

The risk and reward are completely disproportionate.

Pure evil?

That still can’t explain such a large, sophisticated organization and its long-term operation.

Ji Lang was also stunned by the question, clearly having never deeply considered this issue.

He was bewildered for a while, then stammered uncertainly, "I... I heard a bit from a drunk cousin who is of a slightly higher status than I am... It seems... it seems to be because there’s a very, very special ’King Species’ newly arrived on the Life Ghost’s side."

"Urgently needing humans with a certain level of power... What they’re specifically used for, I really don’t know! Maybe... maybe as food? Or... for experiments? Or perhaps... sacrifices?"

His voice was filled with uncertainty and fear.

"King Species? Fresh human elites?"

Chu Kuanglan listened to this vague, evasive answer, unable to hold back his temper any longer, he suddenly stood up, his towering body looming over Ji Lang with immense pressure, his massive fists crackling, his eyes shooting fire as he furiously shouted, "NMLGB! You know nothing when asked, what’s the use of a waste like you?! You don’t even know why you’re being a dog?!"

Spittle nearly sprayed onto Ji Lang’s face.

Fang Qingyu raised his hand, stopping the enraged Chu Kuanglan.

Putting down his phone, he calmly looked at Ji Lang, who was trembling on the ground, his gaze coldly piercing through everything, revealing no anger.

"One last chance for you."

Fang Qingyu’s voice was as light as a sigh, yet it sent Ji Lang into an icy abyss.

"Say something you know, something truly useful."

"First, within the Arctic Front Great Wall, who are your people? Give me names, positions."

"Second, how did you accurately know the individual mission information of those Tier Two Grandmasters and send Tier Three teams to capture them? Who is the source of intelligence?"

"Third, the Tier Three teams responsible for executing the captures, who specifically are they composed of? Names, strengths."

"This is your final value."

Ji Lang’s body trembled as he closed his eyes in despair, then suddenly opened them after several seconds, only madness of reckless abandonment and a glimmer of hope for survival remaining in his eyes.

Without further hesitation, he spilled the beans like a bamboo tube pouring out beans.

Hoarsely, he began to recite name after name and position:

"Ji Lie! Deputy Commander of the Third Battalion, City Defense Army! Responsible for dividing certain outer patrol areas..."

"Ji Feng! Elite of the City Defense Army’s Recon Team... Responsible for selecting ’suitable’ target routes and times..."

"Ji Hong, Ji Yuan! Technicians at the Logistics Equipment Department... Using location system permissions, they can temporarily block or interfere with specific area’s emergency communications..."

"Ji Wuying! Deputy Director of the Ministry of Internal Affairs’ Security Department! He... he’s responsible for handling certain accidents, such as witnesses."

"Ji Wen! Level-two Manager of the Confidential Communications Section... All non-top-secret field mission briefs and communication records go through him... He’s one of the most important intelligence sources..."

"Deputy Section Chief Liu of the Logistics Department Scheduling Section... not surnamed Ji, but heavily bribed, responsible for providing conveniences in the transportation segment..."

"Zhao Meng, Watchtower Duty Commander of the East Seventh District Garrison Army... He’s in charge of ’ignoring’ abnormal signals from certain areas at specific times..."

"And also..."

The list was long, with names and positions recited by Ji Lang.

Not only did it include the seven core members from the Celestial Frost Castle Ji Family that Wei Banmeng focused on investigating today.

It also included six additional individuals with the Ji surname not previously on the main list.

Even more alarmingly, the list included over a dozen names entirely outside the prior investigation scope.

These individuals were spread across logistics, city defense, communications, and even elements of the front-line combat units, almost all holding some power or occupying critical positions.

Wei Banmeng, recording swiftly on the side, turned paler and paler.

The sheer shock of this list was far beyond imagination.

If these people acted simultaneously, even merely creating chaos or paralyzing parts of the system would be disastrous for the entire Arctic Great Wall Defense Line.

Until finally, Ji Lang’s voice became extremely hoarse from fear and shouting.

"There’s one more... even if I don’t say, you should be able to guess."

"Celestial Frost Castle, Ji Family Ancestor Ji Wuya?"

This name struck like a heavy hammer, pounding the heart of everyone in the living room.

Though they were mentally prepared for the possibility of Tier Four involvement behind the scenes.

When it truly occurred that a Tier Four was involved.

It still brought considerable pressure on everyone.

After a brief dead silence, Wei Banmeng took a deep breath, suppressing the storm in his heart.

Quickly accessing the shared internal database of Abyss Hunting, he then spoke, "Found it... Ji Wuya, Chief Commander of the Garrison Army’s Cold Bone Fjord War Zone! Currently stationed at the frontline command post in that war zone, directing the battle against the Life Ghost’s main force, the Frost Corps!"
