Occam is still alive, and has been asking Rorschach and Rachel to intensify their efforts to obtain information from each other.
That means they should go back to that place next.
After all, he has been following me all day long, so how can I have time to rest... If I don't take advantage of the time when I am meditating and resting to find him, I will have no time!
Sean controlled the squirrel's body and ran to catch up with the two. He could only run from the rooftops, while amplifying his [Monitor~] ability...
hiss~
The chirping of night cicadas suddenly became louder.
It's uncomfortable, but at least I can hear what they have to say.
Since alchemists are in power here, they don't have the same alertness as wizards, and they can't even remember this very unpopular and almost seldom seen magic.
But then again, this magic was taught to Lucille twenty years later, so I'm sure I'll teach it to the present Lucille later... So where did it come from? How strange.
Following the two people running all the way, the direction seemed to have returned to the yard where he lived.
"Has Master Sean gone out?"
It was Rorschach who asked.
They must be the soldiers patrolling nearby.
"No, Master Sean went in early. He told us not to disturb him. He was meditating and closed the door." said the soldier.
"Closed?"
Hearing Rorschach's doubtful voice, Sean crawled down from the eaves along the tiles into the corridor so that he could see the movements of the two people...but this was quite dangerous. If he was discovered, he might not be able to continue following them, so Sean was very careful.
He wasn't going to break in, was he?
If you go in, you can only temporarily withdraw the magic.
However, once the magic disappears, the little squirrel may not be able to withstand the sudden backlash of the magic and fall down, which would be difficult to explain.
Sean looked at the two of them, fortunately neither of them went in.
Just a glance at the door...
There are also candle lights in the room. If you get closer, you can see your own shadow in the room.
"Then you guys should just stay here and don't let anyone in to disturb Master Sean. I heard that if a wizard is disturbed while meditating, it's not good for their magic power."
"clear."
The two soldiers answered firmly.
Fortunately, no one went in, and the little squirrel standing on the roof breathed a sigh of relief.
Continue to follow the two of them...
I haven't walked through the entire Alchemist Headquarters in the past few days, and some places are not open to me. I can only follow them to find the place where Occam is imprisoned.
…………
Behind the alchemy workshop, there is a place that looks like a blacksmith shop.
The room inside was actually empty, but there was a basement further down...
In a place like this!
No wonder most people can’t find it.
When Sean controlled the squirrel and followed the two people here, there were not many people around. When he entered the workshop, he saw a few people, but then they disappeared. It was pitch black here.
Rorschach snapped his fingers and the flame next to him lit up, while Rachel simply made a piece of iron at hand into the shape of a torch... The two looked behind them!
The little squirrels were small to begin with, hiding in the grass. They could look at them all they wanted, but they couldn't see them.
"No one."
"Um."
The two men said something to each other and then walked away with the torch.
Dungeon...
It seems that every organization in this world likes to build such a place. In the past, there was also such a place in his own Earl's Mansion. In a conversation with Ascalante, the other party said that such a dark and damp environment can easily make people with weak wills collapse. After being locked up in it for a long time, they may even feel that it is better to die than to stay in that environment.
Rats, mosquitoes, cockroaches, spiders and other insects are crawling around inside, and it is even more torturous when there is a water leak. The prisoners tied up in the darkness can only endure constant psychological torture, and many people eventually can't stand it.
Ascalante was right about this.
There are indeed not so many tough guys in reality. After being tortured, most of them will answer honestly.
For them, even immediate death is much better than endless torture...
The fact that this water alchemist has refused to speak for such a long time suggests that the matter is probably more important than him, or there is a force behind him that can silence people.
Follow the firelight down.
The dungeon was not deep, and the flames soon stopped. Sean stopped nearby and waited quietly, while also listening!
"How was your day today? Lord Arkham, can you please tell the truth?" Rorschach said impatiently.
It's time to rest now. I remember that the two of them get up very early every day, at least earlier than me, a guy who goes to bed early and gets up late... Of course I feel unhappy that they still have to take time to torture prisoners at this time.
Then, in the light of fire, Sean saw a man trapped in a cell and tied with iron chains. His upper body clothes were taken off, probably to prevent the alchemy array from being engraved on his body.
"Hmph, I heard there are many ways to interrogate a person, including torture, coercion, deception and mental oppression. You might as well try them all before asking again. Otherwise, wouldn't it be very troublesome if you ask like this every day?" Ockham suddenly laughed.
The last time he attacked the other party was at night, and Sean didn't get a good look at the man.
Still a tough nut to crack!
"Do you think we can't do anything to you if you don't tell us? I advise you to confess here, otherwise if you are sent to the imperial capital, you should know what awaits you?" Ruiqier also said.
I don’t know why Sean didn’t see any wounds on the other person. If these people wanted to interrogate him, why was he so honest?
Gentleman asking the law?
How can you know that the other party will not confess under torture if you don't even fight him?
It seems that they have failed miserably in this regard!
Watching the two men sitting in front of Occam and asking questions, it seemed that their purpose was to trick him into asking questions about alchemist groups and figures. However, Occam rarely answered and remained silent most of the time.
The best way to avoid being tricked is to remain silent, and he does this very well...
I probably lasted for forty to fifty minutes.
It was obvious that Rorschach and Rachel were just conducting a routine interrogation and did not expect to get the answer today. After asking a few questions, they were ready to leave.
But this time, Sean didn't follow them. Instead, he lit up a dark corner and hid there. With his tail down, even if he ran in the dark, the two would mistake him for a mouse and ignore him...
Only after confirming that the two of them had left did Sean slowly approach Occam.
"You did a good job, Ockham." The voice echoed all around.
"who?"
The person who was about to sleep on the rope was frightened and woke up immediately after hearing such a sound.
"It's me."
Bang~
Flames flickered in the corners.
Sean did not control the mouse to come out, but deliberately let the candle cast his human-shaped shadow on the wall.
"Who are you?!!"
