Chapter 318: Amnesia (1/2)

Chapter 318 Amnesia

North Tivian, Grace Hospital.

In the underground corridor of the Extraordinary Injury Department of the En Family Hospital, Edmund, wearing a black short hat and a thick coat, was walking quickly, with seriousness in his eyes and quick steps. Beside him, several hunters were following him in a panic. As he walked, Edmund asked questions to his men beside him.

"When did that guy wake up?"

"Not long ago, about ten minutes ago. I notified you as soon as he woke up." The hunter responded to the captain of the garrison beside him, and the other party spoke immediately after hearing it.

"You just said that he lost his memory? What exactly is going on?"

"It's like this. When Davik woke up, he looked very confused. He asked where we were and who we were. He didn't show any excitement when he saw us wearing hunter uniforms. We asked the doctor afterwards, and he said he might have lost his memory."

The hunter continued to explain to Edmund, and Edmund frowned slightly after hearing it.

"Amnesia... Is it possible that his injuries could cause amnesia?"

"Well... according to the doctor, the human brain is the seat of the spirit and soul, and it is the most unclear and hard to understand place. Davik had a head injury before, and the excessive blood loss affected the blood supply to the brain, so this situation is possible."

The hunter spoke as if reporting to Edmund. After hearing what the hunter said, Edmund did not respond immediately, but continued to walk forward quickly.

"Let me go and take a look first."

"Yes, Mr. Edmund."

After walking for a while, Edmund came to an open iron gate. After looking into the ward inside the iron gate, he saw Davic sitting on the bed, wearing a hospital gown and eating simple food. Next to Davic stood another hunter, a doctor and a nun. The nun was Vanya.

Walking into the ward, Edmund looked at Davik with a scrutinizing look, and Davik, who was eating, also looked at him with a hint of confusion. After the two looked at each other for a while, Edmund spoke.

"Do you really remember nothing? Davek Jones."

"Um... Davek Jones... Is this my name? It seems to have some effect, hiss... I seem to have a vague feeling that someone has called me like this? Excuse me... Do you know me, sir?"

Davic spoke to Edmund with confusion. Edmund did not see any tension or fear in the voice. Seeing this, he turned to the doctor and Vanya and spoke.

"You two should go out and wait at the door for a while. We have something to ask him."

Following Edmund's words, Vanya and the doctor nodded and left the ward. After the iron door was closed, only Edmund and a few other hunters and Davik who was sitting on the bed were left in the small ward.

Suddenly, Edmund's eyes became fierce. He took a step forward, grabbed Davik's collar tightly, and then said viciously while gritting his teeth.

"Don't try to play tricks on me, you blood-eating scum! I know what you're thinking! You want to get away with it by pretending to have amnesia? No way! If you tell me the truth today, maybe you can still survive! Otherwise, I'll kill you without you knowing how!"

Grabbing Davic by the collar, Edmund spoke loudly in a threatening tone, and Davic, who was caught off guard by this, now had a look of horror on his face.

"Sir! Please calm down, I, I don't know what you said... I don't know what I did... Can you please stop like this?"

Under Edmund's threat, Davik said in horror, but Edmund did not stop his actions, but took out a knife and pointed it in front of Davik's eyes. He stretched Davik's eyeballs open as if to stab the blade of the knife into his eyeballs.

"I'll give you one chance. Don't play along with me. Tell me the truth. Otherwise, I'll make you suffer the consequences..."

"I... I'm really not pretending! Sir! I really can't remember anything!" With a hint of tears in his voice, Davic said innocently to Edmund. Seeing that this didn't work, Edmund started other interrogation methods.

In the following period of time, Edmund and his hunters began to conduct both physical and psychological interrogations on Davik in the ward. The focus of the interrogation was to confirm whether Davik was pretending to have amnesia. However, no matter how they interrogated, Davik behaved like an ordinary person with amnesia and was panic-stricken, without revealing any flaws.

In essence, interrogation is to make the interrogated person bear the dual pressure of physical and psychological pressure, so that he can't bear it and collapse. This is to create a situation where the interrogated person is really in a desperate situation, under tremendous pressure both physically and mentally. However, the person being interrogated at this time and there is not Davik, but a puppet, a living puppet controlled by Dorothy.

No matter how Edmund and his companions interrogated Davik, the physical and mental pressure could not be passed on to Dorothy who was just standing by. The pain in Davik's body could not be transmitted to Dorothy, and no matter how they scared Davik it had nothing to do with Dorothy. Dorothy, who was acting like a third party, was able to manipulate Davik to deal with the interrogation absolutely rationally. As a result, after a long time of tossing and turning, Edmund and his companions finally gave up the interrogation. They were almost sure that Davik's amnesia was not fake.

"Huh... Most people are groggy when they wake up, so it's unlikely that they would come up with a way to lose their memory so quickly... It seems like this guy really can't remember anything."

Standing in the ward, Edmund frowned as he looked at Davic who was sitting on the bed in front of him in a panic. He was very conflicted at this moment. It was not easy to catch a member of the Wolfblood Society who seemed to have a special status. He was about to force him to reveal information, but he didn't expect that the other party had lost his memory.

Obviously, Edmund would not let go of this opportunity easily. After the interrogation failed, he took out a photo from his pocket and approached Davic again. When Davic saw Edmund approaching, he couldn't help but shrink back in panic.

"Don't be nervous, Mr. Davek. I'm sorry for my previous extreme behavior, but you need to realize that you were a criminal before you lost your memory. Even if you have lost your memory now, it doesn't mean you are absolved of your guilt. You need to cooperate with us, try to recall the details in your memory, and provide us with information. In this way, your guilt can be forgiven by the whole team."

Edmund softened his tone and spoke to Davic. Hearing Edmund's words, Davic's expression seemed to be slightly relieved. He nodded to Edmund, and Edmund immediately showed Davic the photo he was holding.

"Do you have any impression of this person?"

Edmund asked Davic. Through Davic's perspective, Dorothy saw the photo in Edmund's hand. The photo showed a middle-aged man. Dorothy recognized him. He was the werewolf Alex.

"These guys...seems to have located Davic's residence through the clues found in Alex's house..."

Looking at the photos shown by Edmund, Dorothy in the carriage thought so in her heart, and then she manipulated Davik to show a painful expression of headache, and let him cover his forehead and say.

"Hiss... there are some marks... it seems like there are some marks, a wolf... when I saw this photo, I felt like I saw a very big black wolf..."

Inside the ward, he was excited to see Davik react to the photo, and then he continued to speak.

"Think carefully, Mr. Davek, and see what you can think of. We need your memory. If you can provide valuable enough memories, I guarantee that your guilt will be reduced."

"Hiss... I think... I think... I think... I want to do some research... I think I used to read a lot of books... I studied something through these books... I saw that I still have a lot of research materials... Not only books, but also stone tablets and so on..."
