Yatai Policy: The New Order of the Mainland

Chapter 903 Collar (Part )

It was late at night, but the lights were on in the tents of the Macken army not far away. Patrolling soldiers were walking back and forth, keeping a tight watch. There was a shining pillar in the center of the camp, which looked like some high-level injector was working.

"My king, should we sneak in or make a formal announcement?" Xie Yao, who had his pointed ears tightly wrapped with a headscarf, asked in a low voice.

"My king... this title sounds like a bandit. Just call me Master Mai from now on!" The fat man corrected him dissatisfiedly. He seemed to be a little worried. The Silver Saint Tree was very secretive about the reason for its transformation. He was also hesitant when talking about the whereabouts of Master Gongzhuang and Queen Kailan, and only said that he would know when Senior Sister Dubi came. "Is there something wrong with Master and Kailan?!" Mai Sang kept muttering in his heart.

"Notify? What is there to report? We are not here to negotiate. If it were you, I would just charge in!" Wang Yao said disdainfully.

"Two elders," the fat man suppressed his worries and reminded them solemnly, "You are indeed invincible leaders in the Dark Night Forest, but you must be extra careful in the outside world. The McKen people must have come here with full preparation, and there are many masters who are stronger than me! So we must try our best to avoid direct confrontation this time, and you are not allowed to act without authorization, do you understand?!"

Eryao had always thought highly of himself, and with the Silver Sacred Tree's spirit accompanying him, he thought he would be invincible and successful in everything he did. But after hearing what Mai Sang said, he could not help but feel awe-inspiring, and at the same time apologized, saying that he was too impetuous.

Feeling the trust and respect of his companions, the fat man felt warm in his heart. "Of course, this is our first battle representing the Dark Night Forest, so we must let the enemy know how powerful we are!" His bold words immediately livened up the depressing atmosphere.

"Mr. Gecko, put this on first!" Mai Sang then took out five collars, put one on himself, and distributed them to Yin Shengshu and others.

"What is this?" the gecko asked hesitantly.

"Put it on first, why so much nonsense?!" Bi Yao, who was steady, alert and meticulous, scolded, snatched the collar and put it around the gecko's neck.

"Boy, let me tell you, Master Mai asked me to take care of you tonight. But I don't like nosy people, so just do whatever I tell you to do. If you dare to have any evil ideas, you'll know how it feels to be unable to live or die!" Bi Yao continued to threaten.

"You, how can you treat your allies like this? I just reported the news with good intentions. If I had known this would happen..." The Palace Guard turned pale and wanted to argue, but he felt a numbness in his waist and his tongue became clogged. He had already been paralyzed.

"Senior Biyao, you can't treat your friends like this!" The fat man advised with a smile, and then said to the palace guard: "Since you are reporting the news, then tell me, which tent is Capricorn pupil in?"

"I've said before that I don't know. I'm a guard of Atesban. I only know that his tent is near that pillar of light..." The guard had a sad face and before he could finish his sentence, Mai Sang tapped him on the collar.

"Then let's test whether you are telling a lie!" The fat man patiently explained: "This treasure is called the 'Yin Yang Ruyi Circle'. One of its functions is to distinguish the true from the false. If the wearer says something untrue, it will separate you from the Yin and Yang!"

"Huh?" Yin Shengshu and the others were also surprised when they heard this. They had seen Mai Sang's methods and believed what he said, but they didn't expect that this guy would use such a weird mechanism on his own people.

"It's disheartening that you can't even trust your own people! But everything I said is true, I... Ouch!" The Palace Guard was keenly aware of the dissatisfaction of Yin Shengshu and others, and wanted to say something fair, but he suddenly felt that the collar was tightening and it had affected his normal breathing.

"Hey, hey! Look, it worked, didn't it?! I knew this guy was a liar. Everyone, move aside, the collar will get tighter and tighter, and it might pop his eyeballs out first!" The fat man shouted excitedly, and took a big step back. Everyone did not doubt him, and they also retreated, but they were dissatisfied with Mai Sang's method of not distinguishing between enemies and friends. "Mr. Mai, you are our king, why do you have to attack your own people? The elves value their promises the most, how can you be a fickle villain? I don't agree with your approach!" The relatively straightforward Xie Yao said directly.

"Very good, very good, just tell the truth. You see, the collar doesn't react as you didn't lie, right?! Oh, as for whether the promise is important or not, it depends on the performance. Otherwise, what about what happened to Ceng Yao, Hou Yao and Fu Yao before? Aren't they elves?!" The fat man's attention was all on the gecko, and he said casually.

"You..." Several elf elders were filled with anger, but they had no way to refute the facts stated by the other party. For a moment, they felt that they had suffered a great injustice and felt extremely uncomfortable.

"I, I said..." At this time, the gecko, whose face turned purple due to suffocation, fell to the ground and begged.

“Could this guy really be just an ordinary person?” Mai Sang was disappointed and said with a stern face: “If you have something to say, just say it. Otherwise, it will be too late to save you!”

The gecko raised his hand and pointed towards the west side of the light column, then put it down weakly. At the same time, he exhaled his last breath and fainted.

"You saw what happened to this guy, right? We have to be honest with each other from now on. Whoever says something insincere will see the end. Don't blame me for using any means necessary. Once bitten by a snake, one becomes afraid of the rope for ten years. We are going deep into the enemy's territory this time, and we cannot be careless. If anyone has any other ideas, we will all be dead! I am also wearing the same collar as you!" said the fat man with a gloomy face.

When everyone heard this, although they still felt uncomfortable, they had nothing to say since their boss set an example himself. Only Bi Yao felt that Mai Sang might have other plans. “Mr. Mai, are you going to save the person or not?!” she asked softly.

"It doesn't matter, it's probably dead..." Mai Sang said nonchalantly, but glanced at the Silver Sacred Tree out of the corner of his eye.

"With me here, it's not easy to die! If you want to save me, just say so directly. Why are you trying to save me? Isn't that considered lying?" The old lady muttered and casually shot a stream of pure life energy at the gecko.

"If I don't loosen it up a bit, you can save one for me!" Mr. Mai said with a pout, and finally stepped forward and pressed the collar to restore it to its original size. "I tell you, don't think you'll be safe if you take it off yourself. Without my special skills, this thing will explode!" He warned again in an annoying way.

"Huh..." The gecko woke up slowly, his face looking uglier than a dead person.

"Don't you know where Capricorn Tong is imprisoned? Do you only remember it when you are about to die?" Master Mai asked with a sneer, ignoring the other party's resentful eyes.

"The direction I pointed to is just the place where they are most heavily guarded, so it is possible that is where Her Majesty the Queen is. If you still don't believe me, just kill me!" The palace guard sounded weak, but his words were much tougher.

"Hey! You don't want to give me face, right? You want me to die but I won't let you. I will slowly torture you!" The fat man said arrogantly, thought for a while, turned to the others and ordered: "Xie Yao and Wang Yao are responsible for preventing fires and killing people who are fighting fires. Remember to hide your whereabouts and don't fight too long. The collars on our necks also have the function of making calls. If you need to contact me, just press here!"

Mai Sang demonstrated the situation to everyone's astonished eyes, and then said to Yin Shengshu, Bi Yao and Shou Gong, "Let's go to the west side of the light column to find out what's going on. Shou Gong will lead the way and say that we are your men! Repeat, no tricks!"

Gecko: I am unlucky to meet such a person.
