172: If you want to be a human, you must first be a dog

Tian Ming and Zou Ping were separated, each entering an interrogation room.

The conditions here were much better than outside; it was clean, and there was even an air purifier to clean the air inside.

"Sister Li, this is a new arrival, I'll leave him to you!" The guard was very polite and respectful to the woman in the interrogation room.

The woman named Sister Li hummed in response, and the guard, not daring to say more, saluted and then left directly.

Bang, the door closed.

This woman was ugly and fat. When she turned around, her plump face was caked with thick powder, a large round face with a double chin. Tian Ming, who had been calm all along, frowned slightly upon seeing this woman.

"What's your name?" The woman's tone was flat as she sat down, the chair beneath her creaking under the strain.

"Lu Tianming!"

The woman looked up at Tian Ming, beckoned to him, and said, "Come over, why are you standing so far away?"

Tian Ming didn't move; the woman gave him too much of a repulsive feeling.

Seeing that Tian Ming didn't move, the woman didn't mind. She stood up from the chair, walked over to Tian Ming, and said, "Don't be scared, come closer, I won't eat you!"

An ugly woman's flirtatious smile would make even a man of steel wilt. Tian Ming could only look elsewhere, hoping this interrogation would end quickly.

He didn't care if he was treated as a human, a slave, or even a piglet. Give him a little time; he first needed to figure out the situation, then control the scene, and finally, those who deserved to die would die, and those who could be used would all be rescued.

Direct action would surely lead to chaos. From the moment he entered this place, he realized that the Xuan Long Gang had completely lost its bottom line. Once chaos erupted, it was very likely that no one could be rescued; before their downfall, they would surely take all these slaves and piglets with them.

Thinking of this, Tian Ming felt it was better to endure for now. So he looked up at the fat woman and said, "Didn't you say you wanted to interrogate me? Aren't you starting yet?"

The fat woman's lips curved into a smile: "Young man, you're very good; I can't see any fear in you. I, your big sister, like you very much. If you don't want to be a slave or a piglet, I can give you a chance."

Tian Ming was a bit puzzled: "A chance, what kind of chance?"

"Hehe! It depends on your performance!" The fat woman walked to the door, and with a click, she locked it from the inside.

Tian Ming instantly understood what the so-called 'performance' meant. However, looking at Sister Li, it was estimated that not many men would have the appetite for it.

The fat woman smiled, tore at her clothes, and prepared for a big show.

Tian Ming only felt a mass of slime standing before him, a large expanse of pale flesh.

"Come on, if you want to be a human, you first have to be a dog. I think you wouldn't want to become a zombie's food, or be bled to death, would you?" The fat woman sat directly on the wide sofa nearby and beckoned to Tian Ming with her finger.

"You're disgusting!" Tian Ming's eyes were cold, and his words were full of revulsion. This woman was purely a mass of slime-like flesh; even one more look felt like an eyesore.

"Disgusting?" The fat woman was enraged; she hated it most when others called her disgusting. She immediately snapped, "When you're here with me, it's not up to you whether you like it or not!"

This ugly woman, somehow, pulled out a pistol. Without hesitation, she pulled the trigger, aiming at Tian Ming.

Bang!

What shot out of the gun was not a bullet, but a syringe. It directly stuck into Tian Ming's neck, and the liquid inside was quickly injected.

Tian Ming didn't defend himself; no amount of medicine would have an effect on him. He calmly pulled out the syringe and threw it aside. Within his control range, Tian Ming had already sensed what was inside the gun the woman had hidden behind the sofa.

What he needed to do now was to find an insider first. Although this fat woman was repulsive, she was definitely the best choice for an insider. Next, it was time for deterrence.

The woman saw that Tian Ming had been injected with the medicine, and a triumphant smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. That medicine contained a highly concentrated hallucinogen plus Viagra. This young man had a good physique; he could at least last for several hours.

But Tian Ming was too calm, so calm that the fat woman forcibly reined in her smile.

"Why aren't you scared? Are you out of your damn mind?" The woman stood up; she always felt there was something strange about Tian Ming, as if Tian Ming was the one in control.

Tian Ming's face turned cold. With a raise of his hand, an invisible pressure directly bound the fat woman. The fat woman's face flushed crimson, and her entire body was squeezed and deformed.

The woman's face was filled with terror, and she immediately screamed.

"You... you..." The ugly woman was so terrified that she couldn't even speak properly.

Tian Ming said indifferently, "From now on, you must listen to me and help me conceal my identity until I control the entire Xuan Long Gang."

"W-why? Do you know that the Xuan Long Gang not only has First-Class Ability Users, but behind them, there's a top-tier Corpse King in charge?" The woman knew the consequences of betrayal, but the fear this person in front of her instilled was even more intense.

Tian Ming's lips curled into a sneer: "Corpse King? A Corpse King is nothing but a small fry that I can easily crush."

As his consciousness moved, countless chronic poison particles were synthesized out of thin air. These particles were all injected into the woman's fat.

"What did you do to me?" The woman screamed in terror.

"Poison!" For a place like this, Tian Ming had no mercy for these administrators.

"This poison will deposit in your nerve cells. Don't worry, it's extremely slow. If you dare to betray me, you'll die a painful death in about a month. Only I can remove it; no one else can."

The woman's expression changed dramatically. Judging by Tian Ming's ability to control things from a distance, what he said couldn't be false. After quickly weighing her options, the woman made her choice.

"Okay... okay! I'm willing to cooperate, I'm willing." The woman squeezed out a smile on her fat face; the smile was as ugly as could be.

With a thought from Tian Ming, the woman directly fell to the ground. She unhesitatingly scrambled up from the ground and quickly put on her clothes.

Tian Ming said coldly, "You can assign positions to newly interrogated people, right?"

The woman nodded slightly: "Yes, I can."

"Alright then, give me a patrol identity so I can freely enter and exit all areas. Also, give me a list of all the management personnel you know."

"Okay, Tian Ming, Sir, I'll do it immediately." The woman finished speaking and immediately began to organize.

In a moment, a list and a patrol team uniform were handed to Tian Ming.

"Tian Ming, Sir, if you wear this uniform and the identification badge, you can enter and exit any place freely. However, you can't enter the residences of personnel with higher positions than you. If you want to rescue those slaves, you'll have to deal with everyone, especially the management personnel, otherwise, you won't be able to save a single one."
