Chapter 282: Interrogation of Julius, the name of the undercover (thanks to the leader "Johannes van der Berg")
Dead silence, dimness, and darkness, the basement was empty, and the incandescent white light bulbs flickered on and off. Insects crawled in and out of the sewer hole, making rustling sounds.
At this moment, a dark and slender figure was hanging upside down below the ceiling.
He held a comic book in his left hand, and a restraint belt extended from the sleeve of his right hand, tightly tying up the old man in the tattered officer's uniform, wrapping around his body, and then asked almost word by word:
"Mr. Julius, do you know... where the base of the Salvation Society is?"
The words ended. The clear words were replaced by a brief silence. A deathly silence gradually spread in the air of the basement. The swarm of insects completely drilled into the holes in the sewer. The only sound that could be heard was the buzzing sound of the exhaust fan.
With nothing to do, Black Pupa simply activated the "restraint belt detection" and took a look at the opponent's attributes.
[Achievement conditions: Touch the target's body, and activate the passive skill "Restraint Detection". ]
[Target gender: Male]
[Target attributes: Strength: S+ level; Speed: S+ level; Spirit: S level]
[Superhuman]
[Superpower: Control rocks and stones, but cannot be created out of thin air, must be extracted from the surrounding environment. ]
"So that's how it is. Is this the standard attribute of a disaster-grade creature?" Black Pupa raised his eyebrows.
He thought, "Julius is the best among the natural disaster-level. His individual combat ability at his peak is probably comparable to that of the members of the Lake Hunters, so his attributes should be slightly higher than the normal natural disaster-level... From this point of view, my body attributes are not far from the natural disaster-level standard."
Black Pupa looked up and saw that even under the pressure of the restraint belt mantra, Julius still did not react. He just frowned slightly, and veins appeared on his forehead - this was because Julius' "spiritual power" was too high, so he was able to briefly resist the effect of the "restraint belt mantra".
But judging from the sensory observations of the restraints, Julius could not hold on for long. His brain was like a slowly opening computer, stuck at the password input interface.
The restraint belt mantra is like a hacker, constantly trying various passwords, trying to wake up this sleeping computer and spy on the various data in the disk.
This process takes some time. After all, Julius is a strong man with "S-level" spiritual attributes, and his defense mechanism is not so easy to penetrate.
But Hei Pupa was very patient. Anyway, he didn't have anything else to do at the moment, so he had plenty of time to spend with the other party.
He suddenly shook his head and sighed, then casually put down the book "The Abyss of Youth" which he could not finish reading, and turned to read another borrowed comic book "The Original Sin of Octopus Crack".
These two comic books were recommended to him by the comic store manager, and now it seems like a bit of malicious revenge.
He just looked at the comic, waiting silently for a while, and then narrowed his eyes slightly.
Julius finally showed some reaction. The old man's lips moved slightly.
The officer spoke, hoarsely: "I... don't know."
"You don't know? How could you not know? Aren't you a member of the Salvation Society?"
The officer was silent.
Black Pupa thought for a moment and said, "Then when was your first contact with the Salvation Society? How did they contact you?"
"I don't know, the Savior... the Savior, I don't know. It can't be... it can't be the Savior?"
"Then how did you get to the Savior's base? Did they cover your eyes with a piece of cloth?"
“I can’t say… I can’t say, I can’t say!” Julius suddenly roared, his body twitching violently like an epileptic patient, his pupils filled with terrifying bloodshot, and his eyeballs were about to pop out of their sockets.
Through the feedback from the restraints' sensors, Black Pupa realized that the situation was getting bad.
I'm afraid Julius is experiencing the same symptoms as he did on the train that day when the red light appeared - he is about to face spiritual death, which is completely different from physical death, more empty and more terrifying. After brain death, only an empty shell will remain in the world.
This is definitely the work of the mentor. At present, Hei Pupa only knows that there are two psychic supernatural beings in the Salvation Society, one is the mentor and the other is Kong Youling.
There is no other possibility except the mentor. The last red light incident also proved this point.
"We have to hurry up... We have to find out something before Julius completely brain-dies." Hei Pu narrowed his eyes, his mind in a mess. "But what can I ask? He has already been mentally branded by the mentor. The mentor is really cruel... Doesn't he let go of anyone he comes into contact with? Or... Is this a hard and fast rule of the Salvation Society, and Julius has accepted it by default?"
In the test just now, he seemed to understand one thing: as long as the "Salvation Society" was mentioned, Julius would not answer, or rather, "could not answer."
There is no doubt that this is the effect of the mentor's spiritual imprint.
If it were a dragon-level mutant like Hong Lu Deng, he would probably have been brain dead long ago.
But Julius is different. He is a veteran natural disaster-level psychic, and his mental strength is naturally much stronger than that of ordinary people, which can also be seen from the panel measured by the [Restraint Belt Detection].
"Nevertheless, in this situation where the other party has lost the ability to think, if I avoid asking questions about the three words 'Salvation Society', I might be able to bypass the mentor's spiritual imprint and get some crucial information."
When his thoughts came to this, Hei Pupa suddenly raised his head and asked at a very fast speed, like a machine gun shooting:
"Where do you usually meet the man with glasses and a white coat? Where do you see the children in hospital gowns every time? How can you see them?"
“I don’t know!” Julius almost growled. His voice became weaker and weaker, losing the pride and anger that came from being a superior man. Finally, he had some of the weakness of an old man. “I don’t know. I can’t say…”
“So… which people in Rainbow Wing have you met?” Hei Pupa narrowed his eyes. He knew that Julius’ spirit had reached its end, so he asked with the last glimmer of hope.
After he finished speaking, there was silence in the basement for a while. Surprisingly, Julius answered his question this time.
The words were unclear, but we could roughly make out what he was saying:
"Urushihara, Ruri, Kalina... Oda Hideo, there's another person, no... no, there should be another person, I don't know his name. But he called Ajaya, he called my old friend Ajaya..."
At this point, Julius' pupils were stunned and he was completely speechless.
He stared at the ceiling in a daze and fear, as if he had seen something extremely horrible. His body stopped twitching and he slowly fell onto the sofa. He seemed to be dead, sleeping soundly and quietly.
Black Pupa looked at Julius silently. His spirit was dead. Only his body remained here.
He closed Julius' eyes with his restraints, and then thought silently:
"Urushihara Ruri, Kalina, Oda Hideo, and another person, a person in the Rainbow Wing. Is he related to Ajaya? I remember Ajaya was the 'Machine Soul Bodhisattva'. Did someone do something to him?"
"If you count it this way, it is indeed the same as the information provided by the supernatural system: there are a total of four undercover agents of the Salvation Society in Hongyi. The names of three of them are already known. As for the identity of the last undercover, there is no need to worry. It will be revealed naturally after exchanging information with my brother."
Black Pupa let out a deep breath. After a moment, he used the restraints to steal Julius's power, and then slowly took the restraints away from him.
[Tip: Your restraint belt has stolen the supernatural power of the supernatural user "Julius", which can be released within 48 hours (after "releasing skills" or "exceeding the time limit", the stored supernatural power will automatically disappear). ]
If possible, he would certainly want to keep Julius' body and use it to steal the other party's superpowers regularly. Doing so is equivalent to treating the officer as an unconscious superpower ATM, which is of great strategic significance to Black Pupa.
This is the ability of a natural disaster-level psychic, so it naturally has a very high upper limit. Not to mention, Julius is also an important fighting force in the Savior Society. His strength ranking in the organization is probably second only to those monster children in the Savior Team.
But the problem is that Black Pupa can't keep Julius here, because the people of the Salvation Society may have some means to find out Julius's location and then find him.
It was even possible that the people from the Salvation Society were already on their way. Therefore, Hei Pupa had to get rid of this old man who had become a vegetable as soon as possible to prevent any future trouble.
"But someone else has to kill the officer, so that the efficiency of using this body can be maximized," he thought.
At this moment, a figure suddenly pushed the door open and walked in. He turned his head and saw a silver-white giant statue, with a noble and graceful temperament and blue flames flashing in her eyes. She walked in slowly, holding a dagger in each hand.
This scene seems incredible, but it is actually not strange.
Xia Ping Zhou was taking the JR express train to flee Hokkaido with the brigade members. If he sneaked over to collect the bodies at this time, he would definitely be suspected by the hackers. He didn't want to be considered an undercover agent who was constantly providing information to Hei Pupa.
But the Queen Statue is different. This piece can move beyond the scope of the "chessboard".
So Xia Pingzhou sent the stone statue of the queen and asked her to come here from afar on his behalf.
The purpose was to take Julius's head.
"The Queen's stone statue, kill him." Hei Pu tilted his head, and while reading the comic that gave him a headache, he gave orders to the Queen's stone statue in Xia Pingzhou's tone.
The statue of the queen nodded.
She shared memories with the chess player, so she naturally understood that the black pupa and the chess player were one.
Then he raised his hand and swung the dagger. The moment the dagger fell, Julius' head flew upwards and was then burned to ashes by a dark blue flame.
Immediately afterwards, Julius' body began to burn violently.
This is the hidden feature of the Queen's statue. After killing an enemy, she can use the blue ghost fire to ignite the opponent's body.
But this feature doesn't have much use. At most, it makes it more convenient and fashionable when collecting corpses.
"The work is done, you can go back to the chess library." Black Pupa closed "Octopus Crack", tied it together with "The Abyss of Youth" on the ground with a restraint belt, and then threw it into the dark blue fire.
The shape of the stone statue of the queen suddenly became blurred, and then turned into a black and white stream of light and disappeared.
In a moment, Julius' body was burned to ashes in the fireworks.
The dark blue flames flickered, reflecting Hei Pupa's uncertain expression. He stared at the last piece of flesh and blood being burned, and then wrapped his whole body with restraints, and his slender figure melted into the air as if it was transparent.
A few hours later, at 5:30 pm Japan time, in Sapporo, Hokkaido, on a JR express train heading out of the city.
The carriage was shaking, Xia Pingzhou opened his eyes, and the dusk sunlight shone through the window onto his cheeks.
He narrowed his eyes and turned to look at the girl in kimono who was sitting next to him and reading a collection of haiku.
In fact, she was not reading a book, but she put her phone in a collection of haiku and practiced typing with it. Since she got a phone, Ayase Origami's interests have been diverted, as if she had opened the door to a new world.
The next moment, a black and white prompt box suddenly appeared in front of Xia Pingzhou, distracting him from his thoughts.
[Hint: You have killed a "Disaster-level" mutant - "Julius", and received an additional reward feedback from the "Wild Hunt Winter" training system - "1 skill point". ]
[Killing a "Disaster-level" mutant can bring a higher number of kills to the task progress of the "Wild Hunt Winter" system. The current progress of the training system has been updated: 63/70 kills. ]
"Can I get a skill point by killing a Calamity-level player?" Xia Pingzhou thought, "This is too convenient. If I kill a few more Calamity-level players, won't my skill tree be fully developed?"
Xia Pingzhou shook his head, retracted his unrealistic thoughts, and closed the panel with his mind.
At this moment, the cell phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated, and the bumpy ride in the car made him feel a little dizzy.
I rubbed the Tianming acupoint, took out my phone and saw a "Line" message popped up on the lock screen.
The sender's name is "KamiNeko" in English, which is also the pronunciation of "paper cat" in Japanese. There is no doubt that this is the social account of the eldest lady.
She had only just learned how to use a mobile phone. Even the account on Line, the most commonly used social software in Japan, was registered by Xia Pingzhou himself.
When filling out the information, he wrote 3 years old in the age column, and then the three-year-old child pinched his face with a piece of paper.
Xia Pingzhou asked her why she didn't ask a hacker for help, as he was an expert on the Internet.
But Ayase Origami did not answer. She just lowered her head and played with her mobile phone attentively, choosing a nickname stroke by stroke, and finally came up with the name "KamiNeko".
【KamiNeko: Idiot.】
【Xia Pingzhou:? 】
【KamiNeko: Practicing typing. 】
Xia Pingzhou raised his eyes from his phone and looked sideways at the girl in kimono. She coughed lightly twice and looked away like a mischievous child.
He turned his head to look out the window, and a rice field on the top of a distant mountain came into view, swaying gently in the afterglow of the setting sun, like a golden sea.
Next, he and Ayase Origami will leave Hokkaido and meet up with the leader in Tokyo, Japan. Then they will meet the new members and see what kind of monster this person who has been imprisoned in Xinye Township for several years is.
The train passed through Ishihamakari Coast during the bumpy ride.
Xia Pingzhou was suddenly stunned. He saw Gu Qiye's figure on the fence at the coast.
At this time, Gu Qinye was staying with the white-haired girl from Hongyi, leaning against the fence and whispering something.
"Oh right...does my brother know now that she is the one who 'killed' my father?" Xia Pingzhou suddenly thought, "Even if he is slow-witted, he should have realized it, right?"
Thoughts drifted through my mind, but the scene on the window flashed by, leaving only a blurry outline that was losing color. Amid the rumbling sound, the JR train gradually moved away and left the coast.
It was getting dark, and the kimono girl sitting next to him suddenly felt tired. She naturally leaned her head on his shoulder, closed her eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.
