Hunter of Mysterious Creature-Chapter 551 - 124: Interrogation (Part 2)

The tentacles hanging down used an extremely "gentle" motion to pry open the lips of the supernatural being, then drilled into her mouth—not just her mouth, but some finer tentacles also explored into her nasal cavity and ear canal... just not sure if her eye sockets covered by Bing 595’s body have received the same treatment.

An assistant pushed a portable CT machine from the side and aimed the lens at the supernatural being’s head.

"The ends of the tentacles are about to touch the criminal’s brain..."

As soon as the words were spoken, the supernatural being’s body suddenly trembled as if electrocuted, then her whole body became limp on the interrogation chair, her arms hanging weakly on both sides, shaking slightly.

Pale yellow stains spread across the supernatural being’s trousers.

"Is she dead?" Ye Jiu stood up abruptly.

"Not dead, not dead." The interrogation expert quickly said, "It’s just that Bing 595 has taken over her brain... everything is going smoothly."

"Then why did she lose control?" Ye Jiu asked again, "Are you sure you can insert tentacles directly into the brain and still keep her alive?"

"Bing 595 doesn’t like killing people; it even hates killing." The interrogation expert said, "As for the prisoner’s loss of control, it’s because during the transition of thalamus control, there was a momentary gap leading to sphincter loss—this is a common occurrence during interrogation with Bing 595, don’t worry."

"Boss, the connection is complete." The expert’s assistant said, "The language center is being adjusted and the interrogation can begin in about half a minute."

"Very good." The interrogation expert looked at the electronic clock hanging on the wall and nodded.

Half a minute passed quickly, the expert glanced at the CT screen, then walked to the supernatural being’s side, enunciated clearly: "What is your favorite fruit?"

"Coconuts." The supernatural being answered, her tone was very calm, but perhaps because there were two tentacles inserted into her throat, her words sounded slightly muffled.

"What’s your name?" The expert asked again.

"Sasha." The supernatural being replied.

Her submissive appearance now and her stubborn refusal to cooperate before were practically like two different people.

"How old are you?"

"..." Sasha did not answer.

The interrogation expert frowned and walked over to check the large pile of monitoring equipment next to him, ensuring all parameters were fine, then approached Sasha again, pondered a moment, and asked: "You don’t know your own age?"

"Yes." Sasha answered.

"Alright." The expert turned around, faced Ye Jiu through the isolation window, and said, "You can ask her anything; if she knows it, she’ll tell you."

Ye Jiu took a deep breath and asked: "What is the purpose of this attack?"

Sasha fell silent again.

"Uh, Mr. Ye, pay attention to the wording of the questions..." The interrogation expert reminded from the side, "Keep the questions direct and simple... If too complex, she... uh, Bing 595 may not understand. Furthermore, don’t mention the ’attack’; be specific, or else she won’t be able to provide an accurate answer."

Ye Jiu thought for a moment, reorganized his wording, and asked: "Who instructed you to attack the Hunter Villa District?"

"The Lord."

"Who is the Lord?"

Sasha once again fell silent.

"Uh... do you have any accomplices?"

"No."

"How did the Lord convey the order to attack to you?"

"The Lord gives me instructions in dreams; I just need to follow them."

"In dreams?" Ye Jiu pondered, "Have you seen the Lord in your dreams?"

"I have."

"What does the Lord look like?" Ye Jiu’s heart was filled with joy, finally reaching a critical point.

"The Lord appears in different forms each time: sometimes as a man, sometimes as a woman, an elder, a child, a bird, a stone..."

"Stop, stop!" Ye Jiu instantly felt defeated, suddenly realizing he might have asked a foolish question.

"Before receiving instructions from the Lord, you were a member of the cult organization that worships the supernatural being Taishan, right?" Ye Jiu simply shifted direction and asked anew.

"Correct."

"When your cult was destroyed by Sun Hang, who is your target, where were you?"

"I wasn’t in Sky City; I was in Lizhou City."

"Why were you in Lizhou City?"

"Preaching."

"Are there other Taishan believers in Lizhou City?"

"There are."

"Tell me their names."

After recording a string of names, Ye Jiu asked again: "Are any of them infected or supernatural beings?"

"No."

"Do they keep any supernatural beings?"

"No."

"Phew... Good, let the Public Security Bureau in Lizhou City take care of these people."

Ye Jiu casually sent out the list and continued asking: "After your organization was destroyed, what did you do?"

"I returned to Sky City."

"Then?"

"I went to the organization’s meeting place, which had become a ruin, and the sheriff had put up a security line outside the ruins, so I couldn’t enter."

"And then?"

"I went back to my temporary residence."

Ye Jiu irritably rubbed his temples; this interrogation’s efficiency was indeed very low, yet after being controlled by Bing 595, this supernatural being named "Sasha" had her mind dulled, and wouldn’t provide much without such questions.

Ye Jiu pulled out a box of mineral water from under the table, unscrewed a bottle, gulped down half, then took a deep breath and continued questioning: "From that point until you attacked Hunter Villa District, were you always living in this temporary residence?"

"Yes."

"Where is the temporary residence?"

"A low-rent apartment in the southern slum area."

"What’s the street address?"

"1236 Shuicang Street." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

"Is anyone else living with you?"

"No."

"During this period, did you go out?"

"Yes."

"What did you go out for?"

"Buying daily supplies."

"Anything else?"

Sasha fell silent.

"Alright, aside from buying supplies, did you go out at all?"

"No."

"After returning to Sky City, on which day did you receive instructions from the Lord?"

"The ninth day."

The ninth day?

This answer slightly surprised Ye Jiu.

According to the return time to Sky City, at this time, Chimera 17 hadn’t yet proactively attacked humans—it hadn’t even appeared in the public’s view...

No, it already had!

Ye Jiu suddenly realized, this supernatural being’s ninth day was the day of the celebration banquet for Dragon Rock Fortress!

Sun Hang also saw the white shadow on the high-rise that day!

Wasn’t the white shadow the early form of Chimera 17!

Was Chimera 17’s plan targeting Sun Hang actually initiated so early?

Ye Jiu felt a chill in his heart, and his speech unconsciously quickened: "What was the Lord’s first instruction to you?"

"He told me that those who destroy the organization would eventually be punished, and to always be prepared in the dark, to devote everything for the great cause."

Those who destroy the organization... Isn’t that Sun Hang?

Ye Jiu slammed his fist into his palm. Damn, now it’s all coming together!

But what is the connection between Chimera 17 and this cult?
