Chapter 937 The Originator Of The Truth Potion
Bernie turned around and walked toward the basement.
Following the stairs, he slowly walked down.
Lu Yu and the others followed closely behind, noticing that the poisonous gas in the basement was still dissipating slowly.
Bernie had no choice but to concoct a bottle of potion on the spot to eliminate the poisonous gas in the air.
Looking at his busy back, Lu Yu said, “It seems like it’s quite troublesome for a mage to prepare so many potions in battle.”
“Making potions isn’t a privilege for wizards. For example, alchemists can also make potions. Our attack methods include magic staffs and spells.”
“In fact, we are more similar to wizards.”
As he spoke, he walked toward the innermost wall of the storage room.
“There’s a hidden wall here. Once you open it, you’ll see what you want to see. But let me tell you in advance, the smell of blood is very strong inside.”
“Open it,” Lu Yu said calmly. “I’ve seen many such things.”
“What do you mean?”
“I’ve seen many similar situations as yours. You’re not the first one I’m going to kill, and you won’t be the last.”
“Impossible!” Bernie was confused. “We’re the only ones who have this potion!”
“Don’t worry; it has already been circulated to the outside world. After all, there is a huge market demand for a potion that can increase one’s strength. In the outside world, there are already organizations that are producing this kind of potion.”
At this moment, the Empress came to her senses.
“The Truth Department you asked me about before; it can’t be!”
Lu Yu looked at the Empress. “That’s right. There’s a Truth Potion here too. That’s why I was asking you about them, as I suspect that someone is making Truth Potion here.”
“Doesn’t that mean that you’re going to completely wipe out this place?”
The Empress was a little worried, as she knew that Lu Yu had been fighting with the Truth Department for a long time.
Although the remnants of the Truth Department had almost been wiped out, Truth Potion was still circulating around.
From the looks of it, the source of the truth potion was here.
She looked at Bernie as if he were a dead man. She knew that Bernie was a dead man walking, and he would not have any chance of escaping from Lu Yu.
Helen looked at the Empress and asked, “What is the Truth Department?”
“It’s normal that you don’t know about them. They have been a secretive organization whose source originates from the Ember Empire.”
“No wonder we encountered the Truth Potion here. Their origin is probably here!”
“Um, what is the Truth Potion for?” Shirley asked.
“After killing a living person that has just awakened, you can extract their blood essence and mix it with some other special materials to synthesize a bottle of Truth Potion.”
“In other words, to make this potion, you will need to kill someone. If you want to mass produce it, you need to slaughter a bunch of awakeners!”
“Of course, you don’t really need humans for this. Anyone with talent will do.”
“For example, demi-humans or other races.”
Hearing this, Shirley’s hair stood on end, and her entire body trembled.
“The person who invented this potion is a devil! Who knows how many people have died from this?”
“That’s right. That’s why we must kill anyone from the Truth Department!”
Bernie quickly turned to look at the Empress and explained, “I don’t know anything about the Truth Department. They have nothing to do with me!”
“It has nothing to do with you, but it has something to do with your guild. Open the door!”
Lu Yu patted him on the shoulder and pushed him forward.
Bernie took a few steps and came to the innermost wall. He reached out and touched the wall.
Immediately, a magic array appeared.
The wall distorted and disappeared.
The next moment, a pungent smell of blood assaulted their faces. It was like a storm that made their eyes tear up.
“This… This smell is so bad!”
“What is inside?”
Helen and Shirley both took a few steps back as they could not stand the pungent smell.
A room appeared in front of Bernie after the wall disappeared.
He had used a spell to create a space within this room.
“Follow me. I hope you can be mentally prepared.”
He walked forward into the secret room.
It was a dimly lit room.
The air was filled with the smell of blood. Walking here, one could feel the floor sticking to one’s feet.
Under an oil lamp was an operating table that could fit an adult male tied to it.
Lu Yu raised his left hand, and a ball of light appeared in his palm.
In an instant, the chamber was illuminated brightly.
Everyone was shocked to varying degrees when they saw the room for what it was.
The surroundings were filled with iron cages with flesh hanging from them, and the ground was covered in blood and some pieces of meat.
A few figures could be seen curled up in the cage next to them. They were so scared that their bodies were trembling, and their heads were buried in their legs.
Looking at the bloody surroundings, Shirley couldn’t help but bend down and vomit.
Helen was a little better but did not dare to look around anymore.
Many of those squatting in the cages looked young, and some of them had probably just awakened.
“So, what’s your excuse?”
Lu Yu grabbed Bernie’s neck and said through gritted teeth.
“Why should I have one? Didn’t I bring you in? You promised you wouldn’t kill me, no? Since you’re a gentleman, then fulfill your promise!”
Bernie retorted in a trembling voice,
After Shirley finished vomiting, she looked up at Bernie.
“Bernie, what have you done? Why would you do such a thing?”
“What do you know? I want to become stronger. If I become stronger, I will have everything! Don’t you realize why you have no freedom? Don’t you know you can only marry someone you are appointed to in this life? Isn’t this all because you aren’t strong enough?”
His words hurt Shirley.
“You bastard, you killed so many people, yet you still dare to boast shamelessly! You deserve to die!”
Shirley looked at Lu Yu and said, “Lu Yu, kill him. He can’t live. He has to atone for those who died!”
At this moment, Bernie desperately turned to look at Lu Yu.
“You… You are Lu Yu? You are THE Lu Yu? You, you!”
His eyes were filled with disbelief. He could not believe that the person before him was Lu Yu!
“You know me?”
“I’ve heard of you. On the fifth day of our revival, our guild leader sent a message asking us to pay attention to anyone named Lu Yu. I only know your name, but since there wasn’t any more information, I didn’t pay much attention to it!”
“I didn’t expect you to be here! What… What are you trying to do?”
“Don’t you know? I’m your enemy. I’m someone who will kill anyone involved in the making of this potion. You might not know this, but I’ve killed almost all the people who make this potion in the outside world.”
“You will be killed by me very soon. If you are the nightmare of those who are weak, then I will be your nightmare!”
