The first to be captured was Number 31, a well-known scholar and professor at one of the top ten universities within the Confederation.
He was not a Practitioner but rather an ordinary person, yet many research projects from the Digital Group were secretly supported by his technological expertise.
The Bureau of Mystic Security was ecstatic, for if they could pry open Number 31's mouth, they could trace back to the Digital Group's anti-humanity research projects and prevent more tragedies like the moss virus.
It was Chen Jixian who personally led the team that captured Number 31. He had wanted to take charge of the interrogation himself, but after three days with no progress, he had no choice but to hand Number 31 over to the Bureau of Mystic Security's interrogation experts.
For such an important suspect, the Bureau was reluctant to use memory reading unless absolutely necessary.
