Chapter 60: Lie Eyeball (Two-in-One) Interrogation (Supplement 3.30...
This is a pub with a clear target customer.
When you push the door open, the first thing you see is the colorful chandelier hanging from the ceiling. The uniquely designed lampshade divides the light, and a hazy halo envelops the entire interior space.
The atmosphere was dim and ambiguous, with a mixture of the smell of alcohol and tobacco hitting the face, and a strong smell of perfume floating between the two, which made the nose very uncomfortable.
At least the fox felt very uncomfortable.
The orc's sensitive nose was completely disturbed by the mixed smell, and the rich aroma even made him sneeze more than a dozen times.
When I smelled it again, the familiar scent had long disappeared. The smell of family was like a drop of water mixing into the sea, and was instantly absorbed and covered.
Where exactly is it.
The fox carefully distinguished the scent, trying to get clues again, but he still couldn't find the right direction until he reached the center of the tavern.
The guest sitting at the central round table glanced dazedly at the intruding fox, burped, and then shouted at the top of his lungs, "Who let the dog in? Quick, some people, get rid of it!"
"Here we go, wait a moment, we'll take care of it right away!"
The person in charge who was resting at the bar smiled awkwardly, then turned around and looked serious. He quietly called a few guards, rolled up his sleeves and started catching the fox.
Four adult men surrounded the brightly-furted fox, and the guards took net bags and ropes and tried their best to put them on the fox.
The iron net made a clanging sound when it hit the ground, and it was obvious that a lot of force was used. However, even though the guards tried their best, the net was often empty.
The fox, having once again evaded capture, didn't even glance at them, but just shook its tail and continued to explore forward.
The fox narrowed his eyes slightly.
Where is it?
"Damn it."
Seeing this arrogant fox about to break into the VIP area of the tavern, the person in charge felt his hair stand on end.
If the guests in the VIP area were disturbed, he would have to pay for it even if he had ten lives.
The person in charge looked around quietly.
Leaving aside the VIP area, even the guests sitting in the center of the pub were becoming increasingly impatient, seemingly dissatisfied with the efficiency with which the pub handled affairs.
The wealthy person in charge wiped the sweat from his face, frowning anxiously as he said quickly, "Hurry up and drag this guy out! Everyone, use some strength!"
If this fox affects regular customers and their business, the boss will have to demolish it first, not to mention the customers.
The guards looked at each other, blocked the fox's way with their bodies, and then tacitly narrowed the range.
The agile fox took two steps back, looked around vigilantly, found a gap and jumped, successfully escaping from the encirclement of several pairs of hands, and in the process, it also scratched the slow-moving person in charge with its claws.
Two bleeding red marks instantly appeared on the wealthy face, and a short, sharp sound was heard inside the tavern.
The person in charge covered his face and said, "Hurry, hurry, go to the warehouse and get that rune magic tool."
He ordered, "This thing can scratch and bite people. Electrocute it to death and drag it out."
The tavern is equipped with magical items, including an intermediate alchemical item called the Thunder Staff. The boss bought it to save face and never used it. Unexpectedly, he made an exception today because of a fox.
However, as long as it can be resolved as soon as possible, even if the boss comes back and finds that the staff has been used, he will praise him for being decisive.
The fox jumped in the tavern with his agile body. He glanced back a few times and saw the guard who was chasing him was following him. He had a strange metal stick in his hand, and there was a faint light flashing on it.
Suddenly, there was a burning smell in the air, and the fox's hair was pulled upward by an invisible force, making it look like a furry ball with its fur frying.
It is the power of thunder and lightning.
But it's still within the manageable range.
The fox ignored him and continued to nimbly dodge the magical attacks, its eyes accurately locked on the room deep in the tavern.
No, no, not yet.
Where exactly is it.
He gritted his fangs, and while sneaking past a few guards, he carefully searched for and identified the familiar scent.
It was not until the fox broke into the fourth room and woke up the sleeping guests inside that angry screams finally erupted behind him.
The person in charge said word by word: "You are finished."
The guards were sweating profusely and could not even speak clearly. The thunder staffs in their hands seemed to have run out of power, and the light on the top began to flicker.
The person in charge followed the angry guests, bowing and nodding, and apologized to each of them one by one. He also had sweat on his forehead, but it was obviously caused by fear and anger.
He snatched the staff from the guard's hand and painfully inserted the energy crystal he had kept in the bottom of the box into it. The purple light on the top of the staff instantly became extremely bright.
The person in charge, whose face was as dark as ink, snorted coldly and pointed his staff at the fox that had jumped to a high place: "You're dead, you damn idiot."
The light of lightning gradually became brighter, and the crackling sound of electric current rang out in the space. Until it reached the limit of energy, several thick electric currents extended in the air, forming the structure of a closed cage, directly restricting the fox's movements in the electric current cage.
"Take your regret and confess it to God."
The staff was fully activated, huge lightning gathered at the top of the cage, and then fell down instantly, accurately hitting the fox trapped in the middle. The purple electric current divided into tens of millions of branches, completely wrapping the prey.
From an unnoticed corner, a light female voice was heard, then dissipated in the wind.
Chen Shuang patted the lid of the vacuum cleaner and said with emotion: "There is actually an item that is more handsome than you. The title of the most handsome, elegant, suave, and rare alchemical item in the world no longer belongs to you."
She said slowly: "But it doesn't matter, you can still come in second."
Second... Second...
second? !
The battery level of the vacuum cleaner kept rising, even showing signs of turning red. A confident sound of electricity came out of it, carrying an air of arrogance.
"impossible."
Vacuum Cleaner: "Since I was born, I have never been second to none in my handsomeness."
It said seriously: "Nothing can be more handsome than me."
The handsome vacuum cleaner slid its wheels in front of Chen Shuang, glanced up and down at the riot in front of him, and glanced at Chen Shuang: "You step back."
It said in a deep voice: "...I am going to start the show."
*
The raging sound of thunderstorms reverberated in the space. The fur on the back of the fox trapped in the cage exploded, and its amber pupils had been completely dyed purple by the lightning.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
It was the echoing heartbeat, one after another, transmitted heavily in the ears, as if trying to break free from the body and jump out.
The fox's eyes, which were once occupied by purple light, suddenly showed a bright red. He stared at the lightning rapidly falling from high above. The power in his blood dyed his body hot, and even his breath was filled with the heat of bravery.
Orcs are famous for their tough and majestic bodies.
The fox licked its fangs.
Even though he would get hurt, he would bite the cage to pieces.
The vertical pupils dyed red looked at the hideous-looking human in front of him.
Then tear these hypocritical humans apart.
The crackling sound of thunder and lightning rang in his ears, and even the soft and fluffy fur on his body was burnt black. The fox raised his nose and waited quietly for the thunder and lightning to come.
Pain will temper the body, and after that, new courage and flesh will grow again on the charred body.
"It's spicy, cough."
After the strange sound, the tavern manager suddenly exclaimed. The fox did not feel any pain after waiting for a long time, but instead felt a warm hand.
The hand pinched the fox's neck fur and lifted it up. Then, looking left and right, it said regretfully, "This dress was the most beautiful. How did it get burned like this?"
The fox suddenly opened his eyes.
The familiar black color came into the fox's sight, making its eyes begin to ache. Two bean-sized tears fell down. The fox hugged its big tail that was burnt black, and suddenly sobbed.
Chen Shuang: "Just buy you a new one."
She put the fox down steadily. The reddish-orange fox curled up in grievance, secretly glanced at the tavern manager and guard in front of it, then stepped back in fear, and the whole fox began to tremble.
Chen Shuang retracted her gaze and suppressed her smile.
If she hadn't seen the fox running around the group of people like a dog, she would have believed it.
"What did you just do to my pet?"
"This noble lord, it's all a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding."
A fawning smile appeared on the face of the person in charge, and his back was instantly soaked with cold sweat.
What he just saw.
The moment this person appeared, the huge thunder cage was instantly absorbed by the invisible force and disappeared completely in an instant.
You have to know that this is a mid-level magic item, which is well-known in the entire Kingdom of Thorns. The person in front of you is at least mid-level... No, the one who did it so casually must be a senior wizard.
The person in charge swallowed.
God of Light, a high-level wizard is enough to run rampant in their small place.
He felt cold all over.
Compared with a high-level wizard, those VIP guests seem insignificant. If you offend the guests, the tavern will at most go bankrupt. But if you offend a high-level wizard, he will be destroyed along with the bankrupt tavern.
But the facts were stark before him. He was even clutching the staff in his hand. The person in charge could only smile stiffly and repeat the same words: "We were impulsive. To maintain internal order, we wanted to remove this fox master. There may have been a slight misunderstanding in our approach. This was a mistake in our decision-making, and we will definitely correct it in the future."
"Is that so?" Chen Shuang said, "I understand."
"That's good, that's good," the person in charge breathed a sigh of relief. He was so nervous that he held his breath for too long, and there was even a sharp pain in his lungs the moment he exhaled.
"I want to see your boss."
The person in charge took his breath away again.
Does this mean we need to settle the score?
His face was pale, and he looked ready to die. “The boss is away for a while. If you need anything, you can tell me. I’m the person in charge of this tavern.”
I hope this wizard won't kill him out of spite.
"I see."
Chen Shuang picked up the fox and said, "I came here to experience your service. It seems that I came here at an inopportune time today and caused such an unpleasant incident."
The manager's soul, which was about to wither, was instantly injected with a shot of adrenaline. He finally shook off the shadow of his impending death and skillfully introduced the business: "How could that be? The customer's requirements are our guiding light, not to mention such a distinguished guest like you."
He glanced at the fox, who had just been gnashing with hatred, and unconscionably praised it, "Your pet is truly unique. As soon as I arrived here, I could tell it was extraordinary. Its posture is so agile, and its jumps are so beautiful."
The person in charge, with a face covered in scars from a fox scratch, said: "Look at this scar, it's precise and powerful, enough to give us a glimpse of its heroic figure."
Chen Shuang: It can be seen that he has a strong desire to survive.
"Please come this way, let's talk in detail." The person in charge took Chen Shuang to a luxuriously decorated room. Sitting in the familiar environment, he slowly relaxed.
The person in charge finally got back to the point and asked, "Which type do you like? I can give you some recommendations."
He rubbed his hands together and said, "I'm an expert in this area. Just tell me your race and preferences. Given the scope of our tavern, we can even get you the goods even if we don't have them here."
goods?
Chen Shuang looked at him deeply, then calmed down the restless fox, and said calmly, "Can you introduce me?"
The person in charge mysteriously took out a form and handed it over: "Please fill in your preferences first, so that I can make accurate recommendations."
Chen Shuang took the paper. The dazzling array of "product T" introductions on it dazzled her. She lowered her eyes, picked up a pen, and drew on it casually.
"Animal ears, amber eyes, both male and female." The person in charge nodded in understanding and praised, "You really have good taste."
He pulled a thick stack of sales invoices from a filing cabinet and enthusiastically began promoting the product: "These are orcs captured from incredible places. They're strong and savage, and hard to tame. Both men and women are incredibly strong and beautiful, and they're a hot commodity lately."
"It would be a shame if you missed this batch."
Chen Shuang nodded: "That's true."
You are using "Slightly Extraordinary Dice"
[Throw successful, "fraud" in progress]
A huge gold nugget was thrown onto the wooden table with a dull sound. The dazzling gold was more eye-catching than the entire luxurious room, instantly attracting the person in charge's attention.
He stood up instantly, his face full of smiles: "I'll take you to choose the goods."
Chen Shuang smiled and said, "Let's go."
She let go of the fox and patted his back gently. The fox, who was about to move, stopped and followed her obediently with red eyes.
The person in charge chatted harmoniously with Shen Shuang along the way. Thinking of the gold, he suddenly felt more refreshed.
However, it still feels a bit uncomfortable.
He glanced down secretly and instantly met eyes with the fox walking beside him.
He quietly touched the raised hairs on his arms.
The wizard was easy to talk to, but her pet fox was extremely ferocious and seemed to want to eat him.
The person in charge looked away, ran forward a few steps quickly, put some distance between him and the fox, and led the way: "We're here, we're here."
Chen Shuang looked around.
This is an underground square.
In the dark space, there are endless iron cages, some large, some small, some empty. Claw marks and bloodstains can be vaguely seen inside, as if they have experienced a tragic struggle.
There were living creatures in some of the iron cages, but they were all tied with thick iron chains, and most of them were drowsy.
A strange fishy smell mixed with a complex aroma spread throughout the underground square. Chen Shuang put her hand to her nose and asked, "What is this smell?"
"It's a good thing," the person in charge said with a smile, "Some of the newcomers are disobedient. After being locked up here and smelling the potion for a few days, they will become much more well-behaved."
He assured, "Don't worry, if the goods you choose are wild and untamable, our tavern can give you some free potions."
"Your service is really thoughtful." Chen Shuang followed the person in charge and listened to his introduction of the goods. After walking through the entire underground square, she asked, "Is that all?"
"Didn't you pick anything you liked?"
The person in charge thought for a while and said, "Our industrial development area is very large, so just tell us the type you want and we can help you transfer it."
He arbitrarily guessed, "Do you like the fox type?"
The person in charge thought carefully, then clapped his hands and said, "We do have a fox orc here, but it's dying, so I won't show it to you. We do have some in other shops."
He rubbed his hands and said, "As long as you become a super member here, you can be transferred here within three days."
Chen Shuang smiled and took out the second gold brick and threw it on the ground.
The person in charge immediately beamed and said, "Dear super VIP, your goods will be delivered soon."
Chen Shuang didn't stop. She took out the third, fourth, and fifth gold bricks, piling them up layer by layer. When the person in charge's eyes almost popped out, she slowly said, "I want to see the dying orc."
The person in charge ran quickly: "Okay!"
*
Chen Shuang returned to the room she had just been in, sat on the large sofa, and leaned back slightly.
She was holding a metal-textured eye craft in her hand, a simple eye consisting of two upper and lower arcs and a circle in the center. She lowered her eyes to look at the eye, turning it over in her hand and playing with it.
The fox waited quietly beside her. Chen Shuang said, "Sometimes not being anxious will make things go better. I believe we will get news about your people soon."
She stopped flipping the metal eye, and the stick-drawn eye lay quietly in the palm of her hand. At a certain moment, the handicraft eye suddenly blinked strangely.
Chen Shuang was not surprised at all. Feeling the sound gradually approaching, she retracted her eyes and moved her gaze towards the door.
Before coming to the Kingdom of Thorns, Chen Shuang ripped off the gas station and returned it, with an extra 100 of the 499 magic crystals to use, and added another one for himself, making a total of fifty draws to draw them all.
This is one of the more interesting purple items.
【Lie Eyeball】
[Stripped from the body of a being that is most adept at lying, although its existence is often criticized, no one can deny that it possesses a talent for deception that rivals that of a god. Extremely skilled at lying, it possesses a unique advantage in identifying lies.]
If you say something false, it is true; if you say something true, it is false.
[Note: The eyes cannot speak in a broad sense, please pay attention to their body language]
The eyes can detect lies, but because of their inherent tendency to lie, they can only tell lies. However, because they can detect whether the other person is telling the truth, a fixed pattern has been formed.
When something is true, it will roll its eyes, indicating that it is lying; when something is false, it will smile and guarantee that it is absolutely true.
In a sense, he is an honest child.
"I brought the person here," the person in charge pushed the door open with a smile. Looking at Chen Shuang sitting on the sofa and the pile of gold in front of her, the smile on his face became more genuine.
After him, the orc woman who was almost half-dragged in knelt on the ground, her face flushed abnormally, and her whole body was visibly hot.
"Very good," Chen Shuang turned her gaze towards the excited person in charge, "but I still have something I want to know, so please stay here for a while."
"How can you say that? It's my honor to serve you..."
【You are using Shadow Clone】
The plump body was instantly pressed to the ground by the agile Miss Shadow. Shen Shuang was filled with magical aura, and the door of the room was instantly blown shut by the strong wind, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't push it open.
"You, what are you doing!"
The person in charge tried to get up in panic, but was pushed back by a huge force. Miss Shadow dragged him for a distance without any courtesy. Seeing that he was still restless, she kicked him in the back of the chest, and finally got a moment of peace.
The fox rushed out instantly and nudged the orc's body with its nose, but unfortunately it could only feel the penetrating heat and saw no hope of waking up.
Chen Shuang squatted down to support the orc, used magic to create a breeze to cool him down, took out the "Dead Tree Comes Back to Life" ointment that she had been storing away and applied it to the wound. The cool and gentle effect of the ointment gradually spread, and the orc's ears stood up slightly, and the temperature of his body didn't seem so terrible anymore.
Feeling her breathing gradually stabilize, Shen Shuang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The situation has stabilized for the time being. I'll take her back to the temple later."
Only by using the power of priests to heal within the temple can the hidden danger be completely eradicated. We can simply go back to the bakery and teleport back in time.
She turned her attention back to the whimpering leader, helped the unconscious orc onto the sofa, and then sat on it as well.
Miss Shadow dragged the person in charge back with great force and forced him to stand up straight.
The lying eyeball was placed on the table, and the stick figure's body was floating and spinning in the air.
Chen Shuang asked directly: "What's your boss's name?"
The person in charge knelt down without saying a word, and then Miss Shadow punched him hard in the abdomen. Tears came out of his eyes, and he said quickly: "I'll tell you, we all call him Boss Rick."
He rolled his eyes: Fake.
It's the truth.
Chen Shuang then asked the next question: "Which family is he from?"
Person in charge: “I don’t know.”
His eyes narrowed: Really.
It's a lie.
Chen Shuang said: "Perhaps you really want to die with this tavern."
Miss Shadow waved the blade and gestured it back and forth on the face of the person in charge. With a light press, a trace of bright red appeared, scaring him so much that his face turned pale instantly.
"I said, I only heard that it has some relationship with the Wilson family. As for the rest, I really don't know."
He rolled his eyes: Fake.
It's the truth.
"Okay, one last question. Who are you notifying? Is it your accomplice?"
The person in charge asked in confusion: "I don't understand what you are saying."
Chen Shuang smiled: "You understand too well, this cunning gentleman."
Miss Shadow was not polite at all. She directly picked up the miniature magic item from the person in charge's clothes and then stepped on it hard to crush it.
Discovered.
The pretentious person in charge instantly became so nervous that a chill ran down his spine. He quickly explained, "Yes, I was just contacting someone, wanting to inform her to leave this troubled place as soon as possible. She is my wife, not my accomplice in these things."
Eye Rolling: Fake.
It's the truth.
The person in charge pleaded, "She knows nothing. She's a simple girl. Please let her go. I'll take care of everything."
His eyes narrowed: Really.
It's a lie.
After being interrogated for such a long time, even the person in charge, who was an ordinary human being, figured out the meaning of this alchemical item.
When this thing rolls its eyes, it means it is telling the truth, and when it squints, it means it is lying.
But what he just said was true, which one was false?
He tried to repeat: "She knows nothing?"
It's the truth.
"Is she a simple girl?"
His eyeballs were almost invisible from laughing.
It's a lie.
Why is this a lie?
The person in charge suddenly thought of something unbearable and said in a trembling voice, "She is gentle and soft."
It's the truth.
"She's looking for a lover."
A huge eye roll was given, causing the person in charge to remain silent for a moment.
It's the truth.
Now he really started to tremble all over.
"I knew it, I knew it," the person in charge said with a tone full of madness. "She said before that she went to see that guy every day for hairdressing. I knew something was wrong."
He rushed over and hugged her, his eyes red: "She is at home now and not with her lover!"
His eyes narrowed with laughter.
It's a lie.
She actually, actually had a secret meeting with her adulterer at home? ! !
The person in charge felt chest tightness and shortness of breath, as if his whole body was blocked. After he couldn't catch his breath, his eyes rolled back and he fainted completely.
Chen Shuang: “…”
The lie test can also detect family conflicts.
It seems that its ability is not limited to identifying lies, and it can even tell the truth from the falsehood to a certain extent.
She looked at the culprit's eyes.
His eyes blinked very innocently.
Eyeball: What can I do? I don’t know how to tell the truth.
