"Huh...Huh...Nothing, Your Excellency the Inquisitor, let me continue my confession. What did I just confess?"
"You just said that the entire special envoy group was corrupted by heretics in Addis..." Clifton narrowed his eyes slightly and reminded Kidd, and Kidd did not speak.
"Ah, I remember now. Let's continue. Yes... We were corrupted by heretics in Addis. Then, from Sister Vanya to us, we all resisted this despicable corruption and fought bloody battles with the heretics. We not only defeated them with our beliefs, but also with our bodies! Our actions also infected General Shadi of the Addis Revolutionary Army, making him determined to break with the heretics and let Addis return to the embrace of the Lord. Soon, he will announce to the world this exciting news for all the believers of the Holy Church!"
With a hint of determination in his weak face, Kidd spoke to Clifton. After listening to Kidd's confession, Clifton's face suddenly darkened. It was obvious that the content of this confession was far beyond his expectations. Based on Kidd's performance just now, he should never have made such a so-called confession at this time.
Suddenly, a hint of golden light appeared at the edges of Clifton's pupils. He stared at Kidd in front of him with great seriousness and spoke in a stern tone.
"You are being controlled, who is it?! Who is controlling your body! Come out!"
Clifton shouted angrily at Kidd, and used Extraordinary Detection to quickly scan Kidd's body, trying to see the Extraordinary marks on him and determine what means were controlling Kidd, but he could not see any valuable marks. Kidd did not seem to have any external Extraordinary abilities attached to his body.
"Controlled? Ha... Your Excellency the Judge, I just said that I was controlled to carry out the assassination, and you asked me to show evidence. Now you inexplicably say that I was controlled, so why don't you show me evidence? Didn't you say that yourself? There are not so many extraordinary means in the world to control others... Are you also making excuses for your own incompetence?"
"you……"
Kidd spoke to Clifton with obvious sarcasm. Clifton became furious after hearing Kidd's words. Just when she was about to increase the power of extraordinary detection, Kidd suddenly fell to one side and fainted in front of Clifton.
"Open the door! Check him carefully! See if there are any extraordinary marks on his body. Don't miss any prop marks or any strange abnormalities!"
Clifton pointed at Kidd in the cell and shouted loudly, spitting. Following Clifton's words, the attendant beside him immediately opened the cell door and began to check the body of the unconscious Kidd, while Clifton watched from the side.
The inspection lasted for a while. Kidd was stripped naked on the spot in the prison. His whole body was checked, even his mouth and nose were checked. The abdominal cavity was also checked with extraordinary means, but no strange extraordinary traces or props were found, and there were no foreign objects in the body. There were only scars all over the body.
Clifton, who continued to use extraordinary detection, looked at Clifton who was being searched. After watching for a long time, he could not figure out the reason. Helplessly, he could only order to give up the search. After re-protecting the unconscious Kidd, he chose to leave. On the way out, he kept frowning, thinking about the situation just now. The situation that nothing was found on Kidd made him feel extremely confused.
'Could it be that... that kid just now was really not under control, and he just showed that he was willing to confess according to my wishes, just to play a trick on me?
"Hmph, I thought he was a pushover, but I didn't expect him to be as stubborn as the other guards. Not only is he stubborn, but he's also very mean... Is that little nun so attractive? Are these guys willing to die for him?"
"If that's not the case, then I'll see how long you can hold out!"
While thinking this, Clifton walked quickly forward. Now it was time for him to make a torture plan for tomorrow.
…
At the same time, on the other side of Kankerdal, Dorothy was sitting on the balcony of her hotel, looking far into the night, towards the port terminal.
"This judge really went to great lengths to do this. He even left a backup plan for those people. Otherwise, the situation would be very troublesome."
Dorothy murmured as she drank coffee and watched the night. At this moment, she was observing the situation inside the Burning Torch without using a small corpse puppet to sneak in. The eyes she borrowed were the guards of the special envoys imprisoned in the Burning Torch, including Kidd.
After the battle at Baruch's palace, the special envoy's escort suffered heavy losses. Except for Kidd, who was suspected of deserting the battlefield, the rest of the survivors were seriously injured and were treated by Vanya with all her strength.
Since these people might continue to follow Vanya for some time, and there might be monitors from different factions among them, Dorothy asked Vanya to be careful when treating these guards, and implant Dorothy's puppet mark into their body tissues through flesh and blood reconstruction, just in case.
The puppet mark implanted deep inside the body in a guided treatment method using blood vessels, nerves or muscle fibers is extremely hidden, often between the skin layers. Not only is there no trace on the body surface, but it cannot be detected in places where things are hidden in the body such as the stomach and intestines. The puppet mark has no extraordinary traces when it is not activated. After activation, Dorothy can also transmit the barrier or protection to the puppet target through conduction, allowing the puppet target to achieve extraordinary concealment without carrying any "shadow" items. This is an impossible phenomenon in the cognition of ordinary extraordinary people.
Are they the guards of the Japanese special envoy mission? Except for Kidd, whose injuries were so minor that he almost didn't need to waste spiritual energy on treatment, all of them had the puppet mark implanted in them by Dorothy. On the day of the assassination, after Vanya subdued Kidd, she followed Dorothy's instructions and immediately healed his unhealed minor injuries and implanted the puppet mark in them. Because when Clifton was interrogating Kidd just now, Dorothy could know what was happening over there from Kidd's own perspective.
When Dorothy saw that Kidd was persuaded by Clifton and wanted to take over the accusation of Vanya and other members of the special envoys, she took decisive action and conducted the electric current through, knocking the already weak Kidd unconscious. Then she used the puppet mark to immediately take over Kidd's body, said those words that mocked Clifton, and helped Kidd build the image of a loyal knight, thus resolving the crisis.
'Although the crisis has been resolved this time, the problem is still there. As long as that group of people are still tortured by the Inquisitor, there will always be a time when he will break through their defenses. But our spiritual power is limited, and it is impossible for us to use our abilities infinitely to fight against the Inquisitor.
"So, while those people can still hold on, the most urgent task now is to find the evidence that Evie mentioned and completely overturn the suspicion of the judge."
Looking at the moon in the sky, Dorothy's eyes showed a trace of solemnity, and then she began to think seriously about where to find irrefutable evidence that could make the judge whose position was very obvious irrefutable.
Looking at the moon, Dorothy thought of many options and finally locked on a direction.
"It seems that if we want to solve the current situation, we still have to find Baruch's group of people..."
…
Um... my work and rest schedule was seriously disrupted. I was too sleepy when I was typing during the day and fell asleep until almost night, so the update has been completed. Sorry.
Look at the time. It's the end of the month now, and tomorrow is the beginning of the month. I've failed to meet the full attendance requirement, and my work and rest schedule is so bad, so I'm going to take a day off tomorrow to adjust a little and solve some problems. Please forgive me, and I'll come back as soon as possible the day after tomorrow.
