The liaison officer didn't want to admit it, but that seemed to be the truth.

He was somewhat desperate at this moment, for no other reason than this.

It was because the liaison officer had finally managed to persuade Yin Pan'er to go with him.

But at this moment, their ship encountered a problem.

Because of the problem with the ship, he failed to complete his mission, and he was doomed to die anyway.

Moreover, if things were really as Yin Pan'er said, then...

Then he will have no way to get out...

If he cannot get out, it means he will die here.

Yin Pan'er stared at the liaison officer, who stood there dumbfounded, as if struck by lightning.

Yin Pan'er then said to the liaison officer, "Liaison officer, are you alright...?"

Despite her pale face, the liaison officer nodded to Yin Pan'er.

He then forced a smile and said to Yin Pan'er, "Agent Yin, I'm fine... I'll try again... Anyway, this is the last signal flare... What if... what if..."

Looking at him, Yin Pan'er smiled faintly, then said to the liaison officer, "You've already sent several. If your people could see them, they would have seen them long ago. Aren't you afraid of attracting the pirates if you keep sending more?"

The liaison officer said to Yin Pan'er, "Agent Yin, without a boat, we have no choice but to leave this place!"

Yin Pan'er smiled at the liaison officer and said, "Why can't we... Don't worry, there won't be any problems... We can leave here... I have a way to get a ship to go out. But I need you to know where to go?"

Do you know which way is after you get out?

Upon hearing Yin Pan'er's words, the liaison officer grasped at a straw as if it were a lifeline.

Then he said to Yin Pan'er, "Agent Yin, we can try after we get out... If that doesn't work, we can try to find a solution through other Illuminati locations..."

Judging from his words, it's clear that he doesn't know the specific method.

"So, you're actually just a headless fly too?"

The liaison officer nodded awkwardly to Yin Pan'er.

Yin Pan'er said to the liaison officer, "Mr. Liaison Officer, please forgive my bluntness... If you're clueless after you go out, and I follow you aimlessly, wouldn't that be suicide? The risk is too great..."

The liaison officer, with a pained expression, said, "Acting Manager Yin..."

Yin Pan'er continued, "Alright, I've already come out with you. How about we go find the East Asia Association president?"

After hearing this, the liaison officer's face lit up with excitement, followed by an expression as if he were looking at his savior.

Just then, the liaison officer said to Yin Pan'er, "Agent Yin, thank you so much... thank you so much... I will never forget your kindness..."

After listening to the liaison officer's words, Yin Pan'er smiled bitterly: "Alright, if I ever encounter difficulties in the future, as long as you lend a helping hand, I won't have helped you in vain..."

After listening to Yin Pan'er's words, the liaison officer nodded repeatedly, almost like a chick scratching its head, "Agent Yin, you can absolutely trust me..."

Just then, Yin Pan'er said to the liaison officer, "Alright! I'll send someone to find a boat, and then we'll leave this place."

After Yin Pan'er finished speaking, she only glanced at Xiao Ce.

Xiao Ce knew what to do after just one glance at Yin Pan'er.

Xiao Ce was already prepared.

After pretending for a while, Da Lei ran back and said that their ship had arrived.

The ship that came over was a cargo ship.

It's not too big, but it's definitely big enough for going out to sea.

The liaison officer standing nearby was clearly surprised and worried when he saw the ship approaching.

"So fast?"

Yin Pan'er said to the liaison officer, "No matter what, I am also an agent of the Illuminati president, and I still have some influence... Alright, let's board the ship."

After they boarded the ship, the liaison officer quickly expressed concern that they might be captured at sea.

After all, the ship here is just a cargo ship, and it's quite conspicuous.

Yin Pan'er kept reassuring the liaison officer, "Don't worry...it's not difficult...although this area is controlled by the pirates, our cargo ship also has members among them."

After listening to Yin Pan'er's words, the liaison officer smiled and shook his head repeatedly, then said, "Agent Yin, you are indeed capable... Thank you, thank you..."

Yin Pan'er said to the liaison officer, "It's alright... I just have a question..."

The liaison officer respectfully said to Yin Pan'er, "Actress Yin, please speak frankly... I will tell you everything I know..."

Yin Pan'er said to the liaison officer, "Is your headquarters really that powerful? Why are you sent out on this mission? It seems like you don't even have a proper plan..."

Yin Pan'er was being too polite. What she really meant was that this liaison officer's abilities were rather mediocre.

Not to mention they're not as good as their shadow guards, they're even worse than some of their elite messengers...

The liaison officer said to Yin Pan'er, "Agent Yin, you're right... Actually, we're the lowest-ranking people in the headquarters. We're nothing special; we're just liaisons. There are powerful people in the headquarters... When we went out to deliver messages, we used to have no trouble because of the Illuminati... They actually have a misunderstanding about the situation here... That's why it's like this. There are indeed capable people among them... but they feel it's unnecessary..."

Yin Pan'er deliberately provoked the liaison officer, saying, "That doesn't mean we can treat you like dirt... Poisoning you without providing any proper planning or protection, isn't that sending you to your deaths? This is even worse than those pirates like Frank..."

The liaison officer agreed with Yin Pan'er's words, then looked at her with surprise and said, "Acting Lady Yin, be careful... don't say that..."

Yin Pan'er waved her hand: "It's alright, there are no outsiders here... I was just standing up for you. You can't report me, can you..."

The liaison officer naturally kept waving his hands to indicate that he wouldn't.

Yin Pan'er continued to brainwash the liaison officer: "It's good that you don't report me. Although I am an agent, I don't have much affection for the Illuminati. I only took this job because Mr. Ed White did me a favor. I need to follow him to take revenge... that's why I became a professional."

"Actually, many times I think Frank the Pirate and his group were right about the ideals of the Freedom Society. Everyone should be equal... everyone should be free... right now, in most parts of the Western world, power and property are controlled by the majority... they have inexhaustible wealth, and they still want to exploit ordinary people... I think the Illuminati is a joke; where the light shines, there is darkness..."

Hearing Yin Pan'er say this, the liaison officer was clearly somewhat surprised.

However, his expression changed from surprise to sympathy.

"Agent Yin, you're right... However, we wouldn't even dare to think about the things you've described... I also believe there are many problems within the Illuminati... The Illuminati is just a game for the ultra-rich... Everyone else is merely fuel... to keep this ship sailing further and further..."

Hearing his words, Yin Pan'er nodded in agreement: "What a great word about fuel... Relax, we're just bored at sea and chatting like this... I won't deliberately try to probe you, so you don't need to be nervous."

After Yin Pan'er finished speaking, she deliberately echoed him, trying to lower his guard.

The liaison officer nodded to Yin Pan'er and said, "Agent Yin, I trust you... Besides, my identity is nothing... No one will remember me even if I die... It's not worth you deliberately trying to harm me... I believe you..."

Yin Pan'er shook her head and said to the liaison officer, "Of course not... Mr. Liaison Officer, it's just like what the Freedom Society, formed by those pirates, said, we are all born the same... It's because of these things set up by the Illuminati that we've become different... I was originally an unknown person, but later I received guidance from President Ed White, which led to my current situation..."

"So, this is a manifestation of the Illuminati's power; they can elevate you to the heavens, and they can also trample you into the mud... It's inherently unfair! By the way, do you people usually live in the headquarters?"

Yin Pan'er's transition was very natural, so the liaison officer did not feel uncomfortable at all.

He nodded earnestly at Yin Pan'er, "That's right, Acting Agent Yin. We are actually descendants of the servants at headquarters. We are the descendants of servants, so we are servants. Of course, those people at headquarters might feel smug about it... Actually, I've been instilled with this idea since birth..."

"We are honored to be members of the Illuminati. However, the first time I went on a mission for the Illuminati, I realized that they have always treated us as fuel, to be used as useless dregs once we are burned out..."

"Although outsiders respect us, they never know where we live. All we know is that we live on an island, and when we leave, we are blindfolded and confined in a pitch-black cabin, unable to discern our course. Only after sailing for three to five days, completely far from headquarters, are we allowed to see... So, I know very well that they have never truly considered us one of their own... In reality, we are only deceiving ourselves..."

Once this liaison officer started talking, it was like opening a floodgate; he couldn't stop.

When Yin Pan'er heard the liaison officer say this, she looked at his expression strangely.

The liaison officer awkwardly said to Yin Pan'er, "Agent Yin... I... I just... I didn't..."

Seeing the liaison officer stammering, Yin Pan'er gave him a thumbs up.

He then said, "You're actually quite right... but there aren't many people as clear-headed as you where you're from..."

Upon hearing Yin Pan'er's words, the liaison officer's expression immediately softened considerably.

He then shook his head: "Of course not... Actually, there are quite a few conscious people like us here... It's just that we've all been controlled by them for a long time... We've been poisoned by them, and we need to take their antidote. If we don't get the antidote, we'll become neither human nor ghost..."

"So, we're all under their control... and once we're under their control, we have no other choice... Even if we're unhappy, we have to obey them to survive..."

Yin Pan'er quickly grasped the crux of the problem...: "Oh? What kind of poison did they give you?"

The liaison officer described it directly: "It felt like ants were gnawing at our bones..."

After the liaison officer finished speaking, Yin Pan'er's expression became somewhat strange.

Yin Pan'er subconsciously glanced at Xiao Ce.

Xiao Ce naturally understood the meaning behind Yin Pan'er's glance.

Actually, the symptoms described by this liaison officer are exactly the same as the effects of the "miracle ointment" used by those Japanese pirates to wreak havoc on the Great Xiao Kingdom...

However, this liaison officer's physical condition didn't seem like that of someone who had been taking this "miracle cream" for years...

Xiao Ce then said to the liaison officer, "Liaison officer, may I see your antidote?"

The liaison officer trusted Yin Pan'er, but clearly did not trust Xiao Ce, who was in disguise.

The liaison officer did not answer Xiao Ce directly, but looked at Yin Pan'er.

Yin Pan'er smiled slightly at the liaison officer, returned the smile, and then said, "Liaison officer, you don't need to worry... This is someone I absolutely trust. He's very knowledgeable about poisons and such. From the symptoms you just described, he's already guessed what it is... Now we need to confirm..."

After hearing Yin Pan'er's words, the liaison officer was surprised, but his wary look quickly turned into a much gentler one.

He nodded directly and took a bag out of his pocket; the bag was sewn onto his clothes.

After opening the bag, there was another layer of oil paper inside, and at the very bottom was a bottle.

He kept it safe, because it could save his life.

He carefully handed the bottle to Xiao Ce.

After Xiao Ce took the bottle, he opened it and then smelled it.

Then he raised an eyebrow.

The liaison officer excitedly asked Xiao Ce, "Sir, do you know what this is?"

Xiao Ce nodded to the liaison officer and said, "Of course!!"
