His tone was calm and gentle, without any threat, but rather as if he was joking with an old friend: "Sir, aren't you afraid that I am really arrogant?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the male law enforcer felt an inexplicable chill.
"If I was really arrogant, guess what would happen? I would speak rudely to someone who seemed to be a golden strongman.
You might think that this is the Law Enforcement Bureau, and there are gold masters here, so they can catch Pride, but before catching Pride, it is reasonable for him to kill a few insignificant people, right?"
"You...you..." The male law enforcer seemed to be choked by something and couldn't speak at all, or rather, he didn't dare to say anything.
He was indeed afraid. If Su Muzhen was arrogant, he would definitely not survive. He didn't think that a man who dared to kill even nobles would not dare to kill people in the Law Enforcement Bureau.
“Heh…” Su Mu chuckled: “Don’t be afraid, sir. I was just joking. After all, I’m just a Bronze 2nd-level transcendent. How could I be arrogant?”
"This joke is not funny at all." Mu Lingxi said coldly.
Su Mu shrugged, looking calm: "It seems that I don't have any talent for humor."
"Sumu, what is your bronze law?"
"【Giant Power Punch】"
"And the other one?"
Su Mu did not answer directly, but suddenly asked: "Don't you think it's too dark here?"
Mu Lingxi frowned and was about to speak when she heard a click and the light in the interrogation room was turned on.
She turned around suddenly and looked at the staff guarding the door: "What are you doing!"
The staff member scratched his head in confusion: "I.....I just think it's a little dark."
Mu Lingxi realized something and quickly turned her gaze to Su Mu, her eyes as sharp as a sword: "Did you do this?"
Su Mu nodded: "Bronze Law Sequence 44 [Concentrating the Mind], in layman's terms, it can be called hypnosis."
This is a real bronze law, and it is also the one that is most similar to his hypnotic ability. He has no intention of hiding his hypnotic ability because it is easy to find out.
Mu Lingxi's eyes were still sharp: "Your behavior is already a provocation to the Law Enforcement Bureau."
“Actions speak louder than words, don’t they?”
Su Mu's words were ambiguous, and no one knew the real meaning of his words. Did he want to use action to prove his hypnotic ability, or was he telling Mu Lingxi not to make such meaningless threats and instead take action directly?
Suddenly, Mu Lingxi smiled and said, "Mr. Su, you are very arrogant, which is very similar to the first of the seven deadly sins, arrogance.
It's just that the arrogance of the Seven Deadly Sins is even more outward. He broke into the banquet and killed people unscrupulously. He obviously had the ability to kill Murong Zhuo in seconds, but he chose to play around first.
You are introverted, seemingly gentle and treating everyone equally, but in fact, you don't take anyone seriously. Even in the law enforcement bureau where there are golden masters, you still dare to act at will.
Murong Yun, who is a Silver 2 noble, couldn't help but feel nervous and anxious when he came here. But you, who are a Bronze 2 from the Lower City District, did not panic at all from beginning to end. I am really curious why?
Perhaps you are really arrogant?"
Su Mu smiled slightly and gave an answer that surprised Mu Lingxi: "Because I am the Apostle of Nightmare."
Mu Lingxi was stunned. Nightmare Apostle? Yes, he was a Nightmare Apostle, a person who had to face the danger of the nightmare world at any time.
People of this type are either hysterical or paranoid and crazy, and it is difficult to find a normal person among them.
Not every normal person can remain calm when they know clearly that they are about to die.
This explanation was reasonable, but she always felt something was wrong. She felt that Su Mu had the madness of a Nightmare Apostle, but he did not act like a Nightmare Apostle.
However, she finally said nothing and let Su Mu go.
After Su Mu left, the law enforcer who had been threatened before said with an unpleasant expression: "Captain Mu, are you just going to let him go like this? Look at his attitude, he might be really arrogant!"
Mu Lingxi glanced at him and said calmly, "Do you think we can survive if he is really arrogant? Lord Sikong Zhen went to the Mithril Mine and is not in the Law Enforcement Bureau at all. Even if he is arrogant, do you dare to arrest him?"
The law enforcer's face froze and he was speechless.
"And according to normal logic, he should not be Arrogant. Arrogant has the power to kill a Silver Level 3 Transcendent in seconds, and is suspected to be a Gold Powerhouse. Su Mu is just a Nightmare Apostle from the Lower City. I have checked his information. He has not been a Nightmare Apostle for long. Now that he has reached the Bronze Level 2 realm, he can be considered a genius."
The law enforcer raised his head and said hurriedly, "Since he is Bronze II, then we should arrest him..."
Mu Lingxi stared at the law enforcer with sharp eyes, causing the other party's heart to tremble and swallow the rest of his words.
"He's not arrogant, why arrest him? Just because he played a joke on you? We are law enforcers, not gangsters!"
"Yes, Captain Mu, I understand." The law enforcer lowered his head in shame. Of course, it was all fake. There are few magnanimous people in this world. No one will bow his head and admit his mistakes because of someone else's words, unless that person is a leader.
You have to admit it even if the leader says so in person.
He cursed in his heart, it’s because you are too arrogant that I don’t dare to catch you, it’s not because you are too arrogant that I can’t catch you, then what the hell are you doing here?
"Did his polygraph light up?"
"No, it didn't light up once during the whole show."
Mu Lingxi narrowed her eyes slightly: "The polygraph only judges whether someone is lying based on the heartbeat. Some prisoners with strong psychological qualities will not cause any reaction from the polygraph even if they lie.
Arrogance can kill imperial nobles without restraint, his psychological quality must be far superior to that of ordinary people."
The subordinate who was fiddling with the polygraph nearby gave him a puzzled look.
"I know what you are thinking. Why do you insist on using a lie detector when you know it is useless?" Mu Lingxi's lips curled up in a sneer of confidence.
"This is a reverse lie detector test. On average, people lie at least 25 times a day, mainly for three purposes: showing off, pleasing others, and self-protection. Many lies are told subconsciously. For example, Murong Yun, even though he is a victim, there are still many lies in his words that are processed by his subjective consciousness."
"You mean, lying is normal, and not lying is abnormal?"
Mu Lingxi shook her head: "That's understandable, but the polygraph can only be used as a reference. There are many people in this world with strong psychological qualities, especially the extraordinary ones. My real purpose is to make them let down their guard."
"Let your guard down?" The man's eyes widened. "Do you have any follow-up measures?"
Mu Lingxi stopped talking and stared at the person who asked the question with interest: "Xiao Li, you talk too much today."
(Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, my family!)
