Chapter 727: Chapter 289: The Safe in the Laboratory [10,000 Words]_2

"Tell me, why did you throw the phalanges into the fireplace?" Mu Rufeng asked again.

"I don’t know, I just wanted to put out the fire in the fireplace, I really don’t know," Yalu repeatedly shook his head, indicating his ignorance.

At this point, the other Contractors also realized something was amiss.

Even though Yalu’s expression and tone were of ignorance and denial,

he had clearly just answered Mu Rufeng’s question.

This was strange, and they speculated that it must be Mr. Sen’s ability at play.

This ability appeared to be altering another’s cognition?

"Why did you want to extinguish the fireplace, and who told you to do so?" Mu Rufeng asked again.

"It really wasn’t me, Mr. Sen, my only task was to extinguish the fireplace, I couldn’t help it, it truly wasn’t me." Yalu’s face showed growing panic as he struggled to understand why Mr. Sen was convinced he was the one who put out the fire.

"Task? The task told you to extinguish it? So, besides the main task, you had an extra task?"

"So, how about you guys, do any of you have extra tasks?" Mu Rufeng looked at the others and asked.

"No."

"Mr. Sen, I don’t have an extra task."

"I have an extra task."

"I only have the main task, Mr. Sen."

"How could there be extra tasks?"

"Right, how could there be extra tasks?"

"I actually have an extra task."

...

The group hastily responded.

Most people answered that they had no extra tasks, but two individuals stood out with their responses.

Everyone looked at them in surprise.

When Mu Rufeng used his ability, he set it to only affect those who intended to lie to him.

If they lied to him, it would alter his cognition.

"So there are two, Mitchell and Mumu Ya, plus Yalu, making it three people with extra tasks," Mu Rufeng’s gaze swept over the three.

Though they couldn’t see Mu Rufeng’s face, they all felt the pressure emanating from him.

"I know about Yalu’s, now, what about the two of you, your extra tasks, tell me," Mu Rufeng looked at Mitchell and Mumu Ya.

Mitchell swallowed and spoke first, "I don’t know."

Mumu Ya also said, "My task is to explore Mr. Sen’s room and look for something."

"Huh? Mitchell, you’re quite good, actually willing to tell me, come on, say it again," Mu Rufeng looked at Mitchell surprisingly and then removed his ability from him.

Upon hearing this, Mitchell’s face showed a bitter smile and said, "My extra task is to find the spy hidden among us players and then kill him."

"Oh? Killing the spy, that’s interesting. So who do you think is the spy?" Mu Rufeng suddenly became more interested.

"I think... he must be the one, his extra task was to extinguish the fireplace, and the fireplace is meant to protect our ancient castle, so, he must be the spy."

Mitchell pointed at Yalu and said.

"That’s too intriguing, so have you received any hints about finding the spy yet?" Mu Rufeng asked.

"No... I haven’t," Mitchell said.

"Really? Then it must be that you have to kill the spy to complete it, well then, go ahead, take this guy out," Mu Rufeng said.

"No, don’t do it," Yalu was immediately alarmed.

But before he could react, Mu Rufeng’s Ghost Power quickly enveloped Yalu’s body, immobilizing him on the spot.

It even sealed his mouth shut, preventing him from speaking.

"Am I... supposed to kill him?" Mitchell looked at Mu Rufeng incredulously.

"Yes, kill him," Mu Rufeng nodded.

"But... but... wouldn’t that be a violation of the no-fighting Rule you set, wouldn’t it violate the Ancient Castle’s Rule?" Mitchell spoke softly.

"You said it, I set the Rule, and besides, your task is to kill the spy, how could it violate the Ancient Castle’s Rule?"

"Now, right now, immediately, kill him, or else, I’ll kill you," Mu Rufeng spoke coldly.

Mitchell finally took action, and in Yalu’s horror-stricken gaze, he used his ability to dismember Yalu.

Soon, Mitchell’s face broke into a smile, "Mr. Sen, my extra task is complete, he really was the spy."

"Good, now, let’s talk about you, tell me, why is your task to go to my office?"

"What is it you’re supposed to find in my office?" Mu Rufeng looked at Mumu Ya and asked.

Mumu Ya’s heart quivered, resigned to his fate, knowing whether he spoke or not, he would have to reveal it.

"I don’t want to say, I don’t want to tell you, I don’t know," Mumu Ya said.

"Good, willing to say it yourself, that saves me some effort, now, say it again," Mu Rufeng removed the ability from Mumu Ya.

Mumu Ya repeated, his task was to look for a key in the butler’s office.

If he found the key, he would complete the first phase of the task, which would then unlock the next phase of extra tasks.

"Heh, still an extra task," Mu Rufeng smirked lightly, then reached out and took out a large bunch of keys.

He also used a marking card to tag the keys, then handed them to Mumu Ya.

"Here, see if you can complete the task," Mu Rufeng said.

Mumu Ya was dumbfounded; he hadn’t expected Mu Rufeng to actually give him the keys.
