A burly man over two meters tall knocked out several people before they could react, sending them into a deep sleep.

Five people formed an encirclement, surrounding him in the center.

The familiar scene oddly reminded the rookie of the image White Surrounded by Five Black Pieces.JPG.

If nothing unexpected happens, he's going to be in deep trouble.

He carefully looked in the direction of the voice he just heard and saw Li Zaisi, the embodiment of Wu Chang, teasing Sword Star and the Negotiation Master.

The rookie looked fearfully at Wu Chang and whispered, "President Li?"

Li Zaisi shrugged and said, "I didn't expect to run into you here, how should I address you, Inspector Gray, or Bishop Park?"

The rookie spy was taken aback, the panic on his face faded, and he replied in Park Changmin's voice:

"How did you find out?"

Wu Chang replied casually, "Intuition."

The spy disguised as the rookie was actually Park Changmin.

As the spy leader of Mid Country and a leader of a faction, his public status could not be low.

Only a higher position could allow him to gather enough important intelligence to live up to his title as leader.

Surely you can't rely on a bunch of low-status lackeys to steal any valuable intelligence.

From the perspective of a cooperative operation, a heavyweight title also makes it easier to recruit players to your faction.

In a multiplayer competitive scenario, unless you have exceptionally outstanding abilities, choosing an excellent faction is much more important than just working hard.

Here, Sword Star and the Negotiation Master are specifically named; they did almost nothing and inexplicably became the top force.

In contrast, players who joined the Mid Country and Li Yubin's faction couldn't escape their fate of just participating, despite their efforts.

Once you ascertain the high status of the Mid Country spy leader, the scope of the target greatly narrows.

Plus, being able to mobilize the Ritualists makes the identity of the spy leader obvious.

That identity is Park Changmin.

This conclusion initially feels very incongruous; a dignified bishop of the New Cosmos Sect, a high-ranking member of the Peaceful Sect, how could he be a spy?

But on further thought, it seems very reasonable.

This sacrifice will be the ultimate sacrifice for the mysterious Earthly Divine Kingdom, possibly also the highest pursuit for the New Cosmos Sect's devotees.

This kind of good thing, the Pope of the New Cosmos Sect, and Zheng Taimin, the president's father's friend, didn't get to partake in, why would it fall onto Park Changmin?

Wu Chang had been perplexed before; whether setting up the mystical ceremony or defending it with force, or for reasons of identity and qualifications, Park Changmin's presence was unnecessary.

But if he represents not only the New Cosmos Sect but also Mid Country, then his identity becomes necessary.

Moreover, being a Mid Country spy is work, and believing in the New Cosmos Sect is life; the two do not conflict. To the New Cosmos Sect, it may even seem like they've found a big backer.

After a brief silence, Park Changmin said:

"President Li, I don't wish to be your enemy, and you should know, although I am a spy, your esteemed father and the Star Heaven Group have always cooperated with us. We should be a family."

In Gao Mu Country, it's not shameful to side with Mid Country; after all, the president's most proud achievement was singing the "Midie Faction" in public using Eagle Language.

If the president could perform to please Mid Country for free, a spy at least gets paid, which seems much more principled in comparison.

Wu Chang beckoned to the Negotiation Master and turned to Park Changmin, saying:

"Precisely because we are family, it's best not to resort to force for problems that can be solved through negotiation."

"Bishop Park, I suggest you cooperate a little, don't delay. If we haven't reached an agreement before your men return, I'll have to take you away."

Park Changmin forced a smile and said:

"What do you want to know? I'll do my best to cooperate."

In front of Park Changmin, Wu Chang asked the Negotiation Master:

"What do you need him to do in order for him to answer everything we ask and forget everything that happened tonight afterward?"

The Negotiation Master took out a pre-written parchment, "Just have him and me sign this contract."

「Item Name: Peace Contract」

「Item Type: Special」

「Item Description: By agreement, once both parties voluntarily sign the contract, it will unconditionally take effect and cannot be violated in any form.」

「Note: The premise of adhering to the contract is voluntary participation by both parties; how to make the other party willing is what you need to consider.」

The contents of the contract, previously discussed by Wu Chang and the others, include revealing the location of the communicator, how to use it, and the truth behind the mysterious numbers, as well as forgetting the fact that Wu Chang and the others appeared after the contract is completed.

The promise Wu Chang and the others made on the contract is that they will not directly or indirectly harm Park Changmin within 24 hours of the contract's effect.

The contract was ready; the next step was to make Park Changmin willing.

Wu Chang looked at Park Changmin and gestured invitingly.

With people as the knife and he as the fish, Park Changmin had no choice but to take the contract and sign it.

The Negotiation Master shook his head and said, "He has a special power protection on him that's blocking the contract's success; he must voluntarily lower his mental defenses to sign the contract."

Park Changmin said helplessly, "This is a blessing from the Lord, there's nothing I can do."

The Negotiation Master added, "If Bishop Park can't suppress his resistance, we'll have to break his will to find a way for him to sign the contract."

Wu Chang asked accordingly, "How do we break it?"

The Negotiation Master pulled out a baseball bat from behind, "Just a physical breakdown will do."

Watching the two of them banter in front of him, cold sweat oozed from Park Changmin's forehead, and the baseball bat in Wu Chang's hand had two obvious dents, with traces of blood caught in the grooves.

If guessed correctly, this was the baseball bat used to bash the heads of Jiang Junsu and Li Yuanzhi.

Recalling the scenario he witnessed two days ago, Park Changmin immediately changed his tune, "President Li, I suddenly thought of a way!"

Three minutes later, after asking the questions, Wu Chang looked at Park Changmin and said:

"Bishop Park, for the contract's forgetting clause to take effect, you need to fall unconscious. Should I help you, or will you do it yourself?"

Park Changmin didn't waste words; he pushed off with his feet and shot forward, ramming his head into the wall.

As Park Changmin lost consciousness, the contract in the Negotiation Master's hand dissolved into light and vanished.

Wu Chang and the others, shielded by shadows, left the lower cargo hold before the Ritualist returned, and ten minutes later, Wu Chang found a bizarre-looking camera in a room on the fifth floor of the Star Jump.

Looking at the attribute panel of the camera, he couldn't help but punch the air—he found a way to save the passengers on the ship!
