His prized hypnotism technique had been discovered by Diller so quickly; he had ticulously arranged the scene to hypnotize the man.
The staircase was a temporary alteration, the top featured thirteen mirrors at varying angles, using light refraction to create an infinite sense of space visually.
Moreover, the use of lighting and sound effects in the stairwell was also thoroughly executed, deceiving Diller with magic techniques and a sudden hypnotic attack, which finally put Diller under hypnosis.
Under hypnosis, Diller disclosed so of Tang’s plans and information about the new Black Wall, giving them a certain advantage in terms of information.
Firstly, Tang’s sche to fra Jiang Shu was almost as Jiang Shu had estimated himself, with only minor discrepancies.
Secondly, the new Black Wall was actually a kind of hybrid material, the most special and crucial component being a gaseous tal at room temperature, created directly by Black Silver.
The new Black Wall could also block the intrusion of the Deford Area, and its black fog could completely disorient people, making it impossible to directly traverse the fog, and conventional human thods could not disperse it either.
Diller’s own research indicated that once the new Black Wall rose, the conventional thods available to humans could only disperse it partially.
As for shutting down the new Black Wall, Diller had buried the thod deep in his subconscious, and even under his instinctive resistance, not even the fox could coax these secrets out.
"Let’s go, head back; he’s probably returning soon," Jiang Shu said, then headed towards another car.
Their secret base was of course not in District D, and over the two hours Diller was knocked out, they had brought him to this falsely created base.
Returning Diller and exposing their own location was sowhat a loss.
Monts later, after watching the news, Diller rented a car and left the convenience store.
The Dick Family hadn’t run into any trouble, Tang hadn’t made a move against them, so he could go back.
—
Half an hour later, his car stopped at the gates of the Dick Manor.
Diller got out of the car and gazed at the spire-like castle at the center of the manor.
Gloomy clouds hung over the manor, with slivers of moonlight sprinkling inside, giving the entire manor a silent and ominous atmosphere.
He walked to the gate, and a servant dressed as a doorman quickly opened the door for him and offered a substitute vehicle.
The doorn were sowhat shocked by Diller’s arrival, but being well-trained, they didn’t discuss it much, just swiftly relayed the news higher up.
As Diller was halfway through his route, Tang appeared under a tree, smiling and spreading his arms towards Diller.
"You actually ca back on your own," he said, his voice carrying his customary calm, "Where have you been all this ti?"
"It’s a long story," Diller nodded. He hesitated a mont, then stepped off the substitute vehicle and gave Tang a cursory hug.
During the brief physical contact, Tang’s fingertips pressed on Diller’s neck in mid-air, though all of this was unseen by Diller.
"We can talk about it slowly then," Tang said with a smile, retracting the poison needle from his hand, watching as Diller collapsed unconscious at his feet, the smile fading from his face.
No, not unconscious—dead.
The needle had been coated with a lethal toxin, and Diller would silently pass away within a minute after collapsing.
"The last Dick is now in place," Tang murmured, looking toward the somber sky.
—
Lying on the couch, Jiang Shu suddenly jolted, turning to look at Liu Tingruo.
An odd thought had suddenly popped into his mind.
"Ruojie, Shubao never observed that race before because he hadn’t been out on the streets, hence Ding being weaker and unobservable..."
Jiang Shu hesitated a mont, then continued to ask:
"What about Tang?"
