cheating
Boredom is one aspect, but on the other hand, judging from the rumors coming down from above, as long as one occasionally slacks off in this regard and doesn't neglect important matters, even if it's done in front of the marshal, he won't say anything.
Are all the guards here this gossipy?
Alina looked up and asked with a calm expression, her tone filled with simple curiosity.
"Meow." What person doesn't gossip?
Looking down, Chu Yanbing looked into her eyes and said.
"Hmm, I don't understand."
Alina smiled and tapped the other person's fluffy head.
"Meow."
Chu Yanbing looked up and rubbed against the inside of the other person's wrist as he held him.
The two chatted idly, their conversation not very smooth and the content rather bland, as they walked. Before long, they arrived at the secret door where the criminals were held.
Surrounded by seemingly normal but actually heavily guarded personnel, Chu Yanbing skillfully and smoothly completed the verification process.
In order not to alert the enemy, in the eyes of outsiders, or rather, in the eyes of the mastermind behind the scenes, the people inside were just on a normal mission, living a life no different from their daily routines.
After walking through a rather dimly lit corridor and turning a corner, Alina's vision suddenly went dark. After a moment of reaction, she realized that Chu Yanbing had suddenly stretched out his tail and wrapped it around her eyes, like a silky, fluffy hair ribbon.
She blinked, her eyes darting around unconsciously. From the bright ground to the glaring, tiny, reflective lights, Alina immediately understood her boyfriend's intention.
Is this also a method of torture?
Considering that some animals have exceptionally sensitive vision, Alina felt she had found the answer.
As the two approached, the bright lights gradually dimmed, as if afraid of hurting the visitors, finally settling on the eye-friendly yellow lights.
As Chu Yanbing's tail disappeared, Alina finally saw the criminal who was being held alone inside.
The environment in the dark cell was definitely not good. Although on the surface there was nothing but chairs, considering the high-tech furniture, she had no doubt that there might be torture devices hidden in the walls.
But that's not what she needs to focus on, since it was she and Chu Yanbing who were kidnapped and hurt.
She was only slightly surprised by the criminal's appearance, because she looked so innocent, like a well-behaved child who had been raised with love at home and had never gone through a rebellious phase.
However, the reality is likely quite the opposite, since she is already here.
Alina wasn't going to say anything pointless.
She simply looked up and asked Chu Yanbing, "Besides the three of us, are there any other people here?"
"Meow." They've already all gone out.
Chu Yanbing shook his head.
When she mentioned that she might have a solution, and considering her abilities, how could Chu Yanbing dare to expose her other special abilities to outsiders again?
"Knock her out?"
Chu Yanbing suddenly transformed into human form and asked.
"No need, this spell requires the person to be awake."
Moreover, if this method works, she will know everything she can after asking.
The Truth-Spitting Mantra does not have the function of causing amnesia.
The criminal, who had been fearless, suddenly felt a sense of foreboding after hearing their conversation. After all, she had also watched Alina's live stream where her identity was revealed.
"What are you trying to do!?"
The other person asked this question with an innocent and lovely appearance, while being tied to an interrogation chair. If an uninformed third party were present, they would think that Alina and her companion were bad people.
As she broke the seal on the magic spring, her pale pink lips parted slightly, and a string of elven words that no one present could understand came from Alina's mouth.
She could cast other spells instantly, but she rarely used this one.
Thinking about how elusive the person beside her had been these past few days, Alina really hoped that the spell would work on the orc.
The translucent white ball disappeared from the forehead of the person being treated, and the two people watching this scene couldn't help but hold their breath.
Ever since he found out about that incident, Chu Yanbing regretted it. He shouldn't have let the other party go astray, knowing that the other party had ulterior motives, just to save his own life.
He never expected him to go this crazy.
Alina was unaware of how much the people around her were anticipating her spell. Seeing that it seemed to be working, she tentatively asked, "What's your name?"
"My name is... Mo Yu."
The girl's black eyes were vacant.
Alina's eyes lit up, and she quickly glanced at Chu Yanbing, suppressing her excitement as she said, "It seems to have worked. Let me ask again!"
"Why did you kidnap me?" Alina asked.
Mo Yu replied coldly, "Who told you to be the one the First Prince likes?"
The eldest prince?
This was the first time in all her time since she transmigrated that she had heard someone address Ayan as the First Prince, not His Highness the Crown Prince or the Marshal.
There's something in my intuition.
"This should be a success. Are you here to ask?"
Alina looked up at Chu Yanbing, after all, she didn't know how deep the water was in here.
Should I leave?
"No need." Chu Yanbing squeezed the soft little hand in her hand and gently tugged at the corner of her lips.
Looking at the person bound to the torture chair, Chu Yanbing asked with a tone of certainty, "Are you a person from 'Nirvana'?"
Mo Yu exclaimed with fervent pride, "Of course I am!"
"Is Nirvana conducting illegal human experiments?"
Although it was a question, Chu Yan's voice, so cold it seemed like ice crystals were about to fall, carried an absolute certainty.
"No, how can this be called an illegal experiment? This is clearly a contribution to the great and bright future of the orcs!"
Mo Yu's eyes were filled with fervor, but it seemed to extend beyond the "bright future" she spoke of.
Upon hearing this, Alina finally realized what Chu Yanbing had been busy with lately.
I felt like my heart was about to explode with anger, and my crimson eyes were burning with rage. Why didn't you do such a glorious thing yourself?
Alina's chest heaved violently, but she remained silent so as not to interrupt the other party's questioning.
Chu Yanbing: "Have you taken any mental enhancement drugs?"
Mo Yu: "Of course!"
"Doesn't this medicine have side effects? Aren't you afraid of dying?"
The other party's appearance seemed both afraid of death and unafraid of death, but Chu Yanbing had a suspicion that needed to be confirmed.
Sure enough, "Hahaha! Of course I took the version without side effects!"
Mo Yu's face suddenly lit up with the ecstatic joy of being favored by a lover he couldn't have, and a hint of shyness flickered in his dark eyes.
At this point in the interrogation, Chu Yanbing took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and continued to ask, "Aren't there many others like you who have successfully improved their mental strength and infiltrated the military?"
"A lot? Not really, just a bunch of small fry."
For some unknown reason, Mo Yu's eyes were vacant, but his face was filled with a gnashing hatred that would be quite unsettling to most people.
Of course, neither Chu Yanbing nor Chu Yanbing were people who would be frightened by such an expression.
"Huayuan Domain belongs to your people, doesn't it?" Chu Yanbing's voice was extremely cold, yet extremely certain.
"How did you know?" Mo Yu asked, puzzled. She was completely under the influence of the spell, like a puppet with her own thoughts.
Yes or no?
To get a confirmed confession, Chu Yanbing asked again. Thinking about how he almost lost Lin'er forever because of this spy, he felt like stabbing Hua Yuanyu to death.
"Of course...that's right."
“Tell us who you know in the military, parliament, and the royal family.”
Upon hearing this question, a struggle flickered in Mo Yu's eyes, but then she fell under the control of the magical incantation and numbly uttered the names and identities of the people she knew.
What are your bases?
Mo Yu only mentioned two places that she knew.
"Where is the main base?"
Mo Yu: "I don't know."
"One last question, who's behind you?"
Before she finished speaking, Alina could feel the hand gripping her suddenly tighten, and the man's expression changed from pure coldness to something else.
"Yes, yes... Ah!"
Just as Mo Yu was hesitating as if she was about to speak, some word seemed to have touched a nerve, and there seemed to be a struggle of reason in her empty eyes.
Alina swiftly cast a magic spell to stabilize the other party, then suggested to Chu Yanbing, "Are there any other questions? Ask the others first, and then try this one last."
Chu Yanbing hadn't expected that her words, which she had already avoided mentioning, would still touch a nerve. Or rather, she had some suspicions. After all, she was one of the few people who hadn't had a control chip implanted, so she must have something unique about her.
"No, is there anything you want to ask?" Chu Yanbing turned his head and looked down at Alina as he replied.
“There is one.” Ever since she heard Chu Yanbing mention the mental power enhancement potion, Alina suddenly had one, or rather two, ideas in her mind.
"Does the stronghold you mentioned have the kind of mental enhancement potion that you drink without side effects?" Alina asked, looking directly at the other person.
"Yes." Mo Yu's voice was exceptionally cold.
"I'm all better now. Should we go out?"
Alina clenched her fingers and looked up into Chu Yanbing's eyes to ask.
"Okay, get out."
The atmosphere between the two was unusually quiet throughout the journey. Alina didn't ask about the person behind the scenes, and Chu Yanbing didn't ask why she had asked that question earlier.
Soon, a beautiful silver streak flashed across the sky, and the two quickly returned to the Marshal's Manor in their private aircraft.
"I have a half-brother."
Once home, Chu Yanbing pulled Alina directly into the study, and she didn't struggle.
After sitting opposite each other on the sofa for about two minutes, she heard him suddenly bring up a topic that seemed to have nothing to do with what they were about to do.
Alina didn't ask anything, she just looked at the other person with a slight smile on her lips, looking like she was listening attentively.
“Although my mother passed away when I was very young, she will never fade in my memory. At first, I was not happy when my father married a new queen. It wasn’t because I thought that having a stepmother meant having a stepfather; I just felt that my mother’s position had been replaced by a stranger.”
"But later, many people around me told me that this new queen was my mother's good friend. My mother was afraid that I would be bullied by others after losing my mother when I was young, so she asked her to take care of me. Although... I don't think I met her many times when my mother was still alive."
Upon hearing the last half of the sentence, Alina's inner fairy nodded frantically: Yes, yes, so it must be fake! It's all a lie!
Who would come up with the idea of having their best friend marry their husband just so they could have her take care of their child after they die?! Nobody's an idiot (scratch that, brain-dead)!
