"Even though I'm certain it's a trap, I have to go, even if there's only a one in ten thousand chance that those promising followers will actually suffer persecution at the company..."
"They all suffered because of me. This is not what they deserve. Don't worry, sister. Even if I fail, I will never implicate you."
Hearing Ma Xianhong's words, Qu Tong frowned:
"Xianhong, even if there's really a one in ten thousand chance that they've been persecuted by the company, what can you change if you go?"
“You’re an adult now. You can’t do things that only children do. Wouldn’t it be more reliable and safer to seek revenge on the company after we’ve achieved our goal?”
"Think about what you've been working so hard for to get to where you are today. Once you've completed the Body Refinement Furnace, your memories will return."
"Xianhong, you don't want our goal to fail again because of today's recklessness, do you?"
Qu Tong spoke earnestly to Ma Xianhong, using her sharp tongue to persuade him.
She is the type who uses reason and emotion to persuade.
However, after listening to what she said, Ma Xianhong remained unmoved.
"Sister, to be honest, you don't understand me at all..."
Ma Xianhong looked at Qu Tong, paused for a moment, and then said:
"For me, the lost memories and family are certainly important, and I would give my life for them, but more important than these is... to live in peace."
"I can't rest easy if I don't check on the situation of these people with superior innate abilities!"
Old Ma is still the same Old Ma, from beginning to end, even after being deceived... he is still the honest man from Biyou Village.
"Xianhong...believe me, believe in your sister...even if you go, you won't find the peace of mind you crave!"
Seeing that Ma Xianhong was determined to go, Qu Tong could only use a little trick, employing her dual-wielding technique to change Ma Xianhong's perception.
As she spoke, her eyes gradually turned blue, and under her seductive words, Ma Xianhong trembled and knelt on the ground.
"In this world, there is nothing you need to be certain about except for life and death. It is the desire to know and judge that is the root of your unease!"
"Give me the source of your unease... and I'll teach you how to do it; that's the way to peace of mind!"
Qu Tong continued to brainwash Ma Xianhong, even going so far as to use the Blue Hand to modify Ma Xianhong's fragile brain neural pathways.
Such high pressure ultimately only resulted in Ma Xianhong's backlash.
"Sister, do you know what? Lately, there's been a voice in my head that I can't shake off... It's telling me... it's saying, why should I believe you?"
Ma Xianhong stood up from the ground and stared into Qu Tong's eyes as he questioned her.
"Sister, tell me...why should I believe you?"
Faced with Ma Xianhong's questioning, Qu Tong was taken aback at first, and then seemed to realize something, giving up the idea of continuing to brainwash Ma Xianhong.
Intense pressure will only drive Ma Xianhong to the brink of collapse, turning him into a Muggle...
"Fine, this day was bound to come eventually. Go ahead."
Qu Tong tossed a package of magical artifacts to Ma Xianhong, then said:
"Your magical artifacts were all damaged in Biyou Village, weren't they? These are all gifts you gave me before. Take them with you, and remember... come back immediately after you discover it's a scam."
Ma Xianhong was somewhat taken aback by Qu Tong's change in attitude.
He thought the next step would be a standoff, but unexpectedly it turned into Qu Tong's compromise.
Am I really wrong?
My sister is just worried about me?
Before Qu Tong could break through his psychological defenses any further, Ma Xianhong suddenly began to question himself again.
"Sister... I'm sorry, I shouldn't have questioned you." Ma Xianhong apologized softly.
It's clear this person responds better to gentle persuasion than force...
Qu Tong listened to Ma Xianhong's apology and silently shook her head.
"Alright, remember to come back soon."
After saying that, she turned and left, leaving Ma Xianhong with a look of remorse and regret.
Honest guy Ma Xianhong is no match for Qu Tong, this high-level mind control player...
With each pull and tug, Old Ma was stretched into a daze, completely unable to discern Qu Tong's true intentions... and was left hanging upside down.
...
Ma Xianhong still left.
Qu Tong did not try to stop her. After returning to Yaoxing Society, she carefully considered the information provided by the mole and the recent events.
While Ma Xianhong's awakening of self-awareness was one of the factors that caused her to somewhat slip out of her control, Zhang Chulan's disruption of her plans was the more significant factor.
For example, this plan to lure Ma Xianhong... really got Ma Xianhong completely under control.
Since he's so good at causing trouble, let's just get rid of him.
Qu Tong spoke into the remote communication ring, and soon three men arrived in front of her.
These three were the promising talents she had prepared for Ma Xianhong: Xiao Xiao, who had previously appeared at the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony; Chai Yan, the master of Na Ruhu, one of the Ten Elders; and Jiang Liu, a naturally gifted individual.
"The three of you, your mission is simple... You must kill Zhang Chulan."
Hearing Qu Tong's words, the three of them had no objections. After all, with the change in perception brought about by the Dual-Hand Technique, Qu Tong's orders were absolute.
"Zhang Chulan will definitely have guards and helpers by then, but you all have only one goal: to kill Zhang Chulan..."
"If the three of you can't kill Zhang Chulan... then you can all die."
As Qu Tong spoke, a blue light flashed in her eyes. Hearing her words, the eyes of the three people present also shone with a blue light, and they still had no objections.
Watching the three of them depart, Qu Tong felt no psychological burden whatsoever.
These pawns she manipulates, unable to achieve their goal, have no reason to live, to prevent them from revealing the information they possess...
Qu Tong has been in this business for so many years, and her main strength lies in her meticulousness.
It was this meticulousness that allowed her to gradually develop and expand Yaoxing Society.
She was certain that to this day, no one knew that she was the mastermind behind those unsolved cases with no leads.

P.S.: Poor newbie author, all you godfathers...
Also, I updated late yesterday because Tomato (the author) checked my status again...
It's the same situation as last time... so the update didn't happen until daytime.
Woo woo woo.
Chapter 236 What does your arrest of Ma Xianhong have to do with me, Ma? (First Update)
Just as Qu Tong was setting up a trap for Zhang Chulan, Zhou Fengliu, who had already seen through Qu Tong's plan from an omniscient perspective, was warming himself by a fire in the abandoned bunker.
As the saying goes, money is hard to earn, and food is hard to eat.
Zhou Fengliu hadn't had a proper meal for several days, eating canned food and self-heating food every day. At this moment, he suddenly missed the days when he could go to the kitchen of Fu Rong in Biyou Village every day to freeload a meal.
Although Rongzi didn't cook him any fancy dishes, her cooking skills are still commendable, especially her noodles. Even a simple noodle soup can have the freshness of abalone and seafood, absolutely amazing.
"Hey, Xiao Zhou, this is yours."
Beside the campfire, Feng Baobao handed a warmed can of food to Zhou Fengliu.
Zhou Fengliu accepted the gift, said thank you, and then quickly finished his dinner.
"I don't know if Lao Ma will come or not (chew chew chew). We've been waiting for him for several days already (chew chew chew). If it really doesn't work (chew chew chew), let's leave tomorrow if we can't wait for him."
Zhang Chulan chewed on the canned pork in his mouth while looking at Zhou Fengliu and said.
"No rush...wait a little longer."
【Transfer Station of World-weary Fiction 1 ⑦ ㈨ ⑨ ⒋ 3⒈ June th】
Zhou Fengliu said that he had waited for several days, and if he gave up now, wouldn't it be a waste of time and effort?
"Brother Liu, do you really think Lao Ma will come?"
"I believe in Lao Ma."
Hearing Zhou Fengliu's words, Zhang Chulan was momentarily stunned as he looked at Zhou Fengliu's face.
What kind of bond could make Zhou Fengliu so convinced that Lao Ma would come? And how could he endure such harsh conditions for several days?
Is it friendship?
Is it trust?
No.
Neither...
If Zhang Chulan had met Zhou Fengliu on the first day, he would definitely have imagined a friendship between Zhou Fengliu and Lao Ma. But now he has known Zhou Fengliu for quite some time.
The only reason Zhou Fengliu could wait so long for Lao Ma is that the reward for Lao Ma's mission is too tempting.
