The effectiveness of the method needed no further explanation. The fact that it could grant someone bearing the curse of power his current strength was proof enough.
Li Chonglou also spoke up at this moment, "So the method you're talking about is to kill those innocent people?"
He wasn't a fool. In such a situation, not only did the other party not seek help from others, but they dared to kill wantonly. Li Chonglou couldn't think of any other reason.
Grey Dog hadn't expected Li Chonglou to react so quickly. He had initially planned to hold something back and see if there were other opportunities, but now he could only nod and say, "Brother, you're amazing. You figured that out. Yes, although this method is a bit cruel, it can indeed unseal."
Li Chonglou asked with a strange expression, "You don't think I'm unsealed now?"
Grey Dog was stunned. Only then did he realize he had done something incredibly foolish.
That's right, if he hadn't been unsealed, how could he have gotten himself into such a sorry state?
However, Li Chonglou's next sentence ignited a glimmer of hope for him.
"Tell me what you know."
Grey Dog became excited, which aggravated his internal injuries. He couldn't help but cough a few times before quickly saying, "As long as brother doesn't kill me, I'll say anything!"
"And it seems we don't have any grudges, right? It was that idiot Fang Si who was blind before, and so was the leper. Brother, I don't think I've ever offended you, have I?"
The more Grey Dog spoke, the more confident he became. Thinking about it again, he realized he hadn't actively offended anyone. Of course, that was his own perception.
Li Chonglou didn't bother with such pleasantries. He asked about the method again, and Grey Dog then spilled everything.
He became more animated as he spoke, because in his opinion, this method was something that people of the same kind could never refuse. It wasn't just about unsealing one's strength.
In the process, Grey Dog clearly felt his understanding of cultivation deepen. This was also why he was confident that he could break through after the final unsealing.
It was just that he didn't know that the colder Li Chonglou's eyes became the more he listened.
At first, he thought it was just about killing. But according to Grey Dog, killing alone wasn't enough to achieve the desired effect; torture was also required!
Only the resentment of people before their death could truly achieve the effect!
In other words, it was highly possible that the leper and the other two had this habit passed down by this guy. How many innocent lives had he tortured to unseal his power to this level?
However, Li Chonglou thought about it again. There hadn't been any missing person cases in Shangjing recently. At least, Lin Qianqian hadn't mentioned anything. So how had he unsealed himself to this extent?
"I'll ask you a question."
After Grey Dog finished speaking, Li Chonglou couldn't help but ask directly.
Grey Dog was stunned for a moment and instinctively said, "Brother, just say it."
"China has always been very strict about this. Where did you collect resentment? Or does it not require a large number of people?"
A hint of hesitation appeared on Grey Dog's face. Li Chonglou's expression immediately turned cold, and he said in a deep voice, "I hope to hear the truth."
Grey Dog reluctantly said, "A large quantity is indeed needed. It took me ten years to achieve the current effect. But brother, don't worry, if you want to, I also have a way to achieve it in a short period, although the risk is a bit higher."
Li Chonglou continued to question him calmly, and only then did Grey Dog reveal the truth.
"There are still many undocumented individuals here. And we might also capture pregnant women and raise them. If you're in a hurry, brother, going abroad is the fastest. In many places, you can kill people freely."
After listening, Li Chonglou's mood sank to the bottom, but his expression remained indifferent.
"Then which one is the Lost Land you went to?"
Grey Dog was stunned again upon hearing this. "Isn't it the deserted island? Are there other Lost Lands in this world?"
A deserted island? Li Chonglou was certain that the place he had gone to wasn't called a deserted island. Coupled with the fact that Liu Fei could possess such a weapon before, his guess was clearly correct.
There was more than one Lost Land in this world!
Afterward, Li Chonglou wasted no time. After getting all the information he wanted from Grey Dog, he slowly walked up to him.
"I hope in your next life, you won't be human anymore."
As soon as he finished speaking, in Grey Dog's astonished gaze, Li Chonglou directly twisted his neck.
It was quick and decisive, without a hint of hesitation!
"Xiao Li, if you have time, go and take a look. You might find the truth about the Lost Land."
Old An's voice suddenly sounded. He was the first to suspect that there was more than one Lost Land. As one of the earliest soul bodies from the Lost Land of Base 13, he had seen many people and things.
He had never heard of any other Lost Lands.
Li Chonglou nodded. Even if Old An hadn't said it, he had planned to do so.
Currently, regarding the matter of unsealing, only Du Tian had some news. If there was no progress from his side, this could provide another path.
However, these were all later matters. With the soul bottle, Li Chonglou was not in a hurry to unseal. The main issue now was with the company.
And now there was one more thing to do.
After tidying up Grey Dog's body, Li Chonglou called Lin Qianqian, whom he hadn't contacted in a while.
"What happened again?"
Lin Qianqian seemed accustomed to Li Chonglou only calling when something was up and got straight to the point.
Li Chonglou coughed lightly and explained the situation at the service area. The other end of the line fell silent.
"Huh? Where are you? Can you hear me?"
Li Chonglou thought the line had been disconnected until after a while, Lin Qianqian's weak and helpless voice came through the phone.
"I say, are you the real-life Conan?"
"Ah?"
Li Chonglou didn't react for a moment.
"Why are you always involved in these major cases?"
Li Chonglou was speechless.
"You don't think I did it, do you? Although I've already killed the person, the surveillance footage and fingerprints can prove it!"
"Heh, of course I know that. If you had really done it, you wouldn't have gotten away with it. But that's not what I meant. I'm just wondering why you always run into these situations?"
This time, Li Chonglou fell silent. You ask me, who do I ask?
I'm also innocent, okay!
To change the subject, Li Chonglou could only drop another bombshell.
"Oh, and there's one more thing. The killer also set up a criminal den in his hometown. There, sigh, I'll send you the address, and you'll know when you send people to check."
"What?"
Lin Qianqian wanted to ask more, but Li Chonglou directly hung up the phone, then sent the address he had learned from Grey Dog, along with a reminder.
If it's not necessary, you don't have to go in person.
However, Li Chonglou didn't know that since the location wasn't in Shangjing, Lin Qianqian didn't need to go there in the first place. But now, hearing him say that, she became interested.
