Chapter 1162: Chapter 973: Turning the TablesOn the matter of the big house, the man did not lie.
The address is located in the villa area near the beach in the southwest corner of The First Region, which until 2167 remains the premier villa area of the United Government. Mr. Hog Foster, an employee of the H1 Department, owns one of the properties here.
However, according to Hog, most of these villas are vacant most of the time, and properties are usually maintained by real estate agents or maids. Here, possession of real estate is more akin to a symbol of status, and in addition to sufficient wealth, a certain social status is required to purchase a property in this area.
Hog cordially invited his colleagues from H1 to visit his villa, and he set it up as their tea ceremony activity center in The First Region.
But perhaps due to the Witch Hunt Movement, the villa area felt desolate. After passing the security booth, they didn’t encounter a single person along the way. Coupled with the fact that it was a cloudy and misty day, the deserted luxury villa area felt a bit more eerie.
Before long, under the lead of the middle-aged man, the three of them arrived in front of a villa with its lights on.
The door was opened by an elderly female wearing a maid’s dress, who was not surprised by the man bringing guests back and quickly prepared three guest rooms and a change of clothes for Song Lan and the others.
During this time, the man went to the wine cellar and brought out a bottle of red wine he said had been long cherished. He then ordered the maid to prepare a sumptuous dinner.

Song Lan guessed that other Psychics probably felt much more strongly about this.
After the Witch Hunt Movement gained momentum, Psychics lived each day in immense fear, despised by those around them, becoming the targets of the hunt, and the man’s attitude towards them undoubtedly formed a stark contrast.
The ones detained in the villa’s basement must have been tricked this way.
Due to some unknown reasons, the man didn’t kill them immediately but instead prepared individual cells for them and provided them with the minimal nutritional injections required for survival.
What truly restricted the Psychics’ movements must be the devices on their wrists and ankles. A similar restraint had been placed on the limbs of Rebel Army executive Aishi when she was escorted to the Seventeenth Region.
Anti-spiritual energy field.

Song Lan let down his guard and drank a large glass of grape wine without any precaution.
"You should drink less."
Seeing this, Lu Xiang frowned.
It was no secret in the rescuer department that Song Lan couldn’t hold his liquor. At every department gathering, he would sit with the navigation robot Nami since most in the department were fans of liquor, so he, together with the artificial intelligence, opened a "non-alcoholic" race at the gatherings.
