Chapter 733 Is this considered an interrogation?
After the previous accident, the honey badger keenly sensed that something was wrong.
Although the specific circumstances were completely unclear... at least when it came to killing people, honey badgers were considered experts. With such a public incident, the next steps would have to be cordoning off the area and questioning the guests.
If you try to escape at this time, even if you didn't do it yourself, you will definitely be suspected.
According to her understanding of the authorities, if they found that they could not find any trace of her after the search, they might put all the unsolved cases in the past on her.
——Since they can’t be caught anyway, then compared to “still have no clue who the murderer is”, it is definitely more understandable that “the murderer has been identified but has not been caught yet”.
So far, Hawkeye's assassins have been blamed for many similar things... For example, when they successfully assassinate a politician, a few more people often die inexplicably. Naturally, they can't come out and say, "Oh no, I only killed these few people, and those others weren't killed by me," so they can only bear the blame and settle the accounts.
After all, what the Hawkeye organization wants most is "deterrence."
Their original motivation was to become the "judge of the Son of the Moon and his followers" to prevent ordinary people from taking the initiative to embark on this path or trying to cooperate with the Son of the Moon.
It is actually a good thing for them to be able to use this opportunity for publicity, instead of killing the target as usual and having the news suppressed... This can be considered a win-win situation, a kind of "silent cooperation."
However, although she had no identity and was considered an illegal resident in Xingti... she was not too panicked.
Back when she was weak, she had long been accustomed to being questioned and interrogated. Although she has become a strong person now, she has not forgotten the survival skills she learned when she was weak.
The honey badger was confident enough to fool the police and get key intelligence.
Ding dang dang.
"Come in," said the honey badger.
——That’s what she thought until she saw Aleister, wearing a police officer’s coat, push the door and walk into the private room.
For a moment, the honey badger almost couldn't hold it back.
The honey badger never expected that he would meet Miss Aleister again in such an occasion.
The two bunny girls who were in the same room with her also blinked.
They also easily recognized the black-haired lady who was dressed noble and elegant.
"...What's with your clothes?"
The honey badger was somewhat helpless: "You don't even dress properly..."
Aleister wasn't wearing a shirt or tie underneath, but rather her red and black dress. She had a slightly larger policewoman's jacket draped loosely over her body, not even properly pulled on, not even covering her shoulders.
This made the honey badger want to help her put on her clothes.
"Because the inspector insisted that I wear this outfit before he would let me into the scene..."
As Aleister spoke, he casually pulled off his coat and threw it aside.
She sat on the sofa next to the honey badger and lay down very skillfully and smoothly.
She put her legs on the honey badger's legs, found a pillow and put it in the corner of the L-shaped sofa, and lay down comfortably.
Aleister grumbled softly, "Although the technology of this 'Philosopher's Stone' is decent, there's still a lot of room for improvement in terms of comfort. The sofas here are so soft, so why are the seats in such a high-tech car so hard to sit on? Can't they do some ergonomic optimization..."
"Look at you..."
Seeing Aleister so calm, the honey badger guessed her progress: "Should you have made some progress?"
"Yes, but I won't tell you yet. To prevent you from having preconceived notions when you tell me later."
Aleister hummed softly, "Let's talk about what happened on your side - and the two ladies, you can always add to it."
"...Is this, an interrogation?"
The smaller bunny girl was very surprised to see this.
"Yes. Come... sit over here."
Aleister smiled and asked her to sit next to him and help him hold his head first.
Then she maintained this relaxed and enjoyable attitude very easily, listening to the information from the honey badger.
The honey badger shared everything he saw with Aleister:
Even with just a fleeting glance, the honey badger could tell that the broken limbs were torn apart by a huge force.
That kind of wound was not a cut, and it was definitely not a split.
She had seen a demonologist summon a massive demonic claw and tear a human body in two. The corpse's posture was quite similar to that. And to tear a whole human body into pieces with bare hands, without the aid of any tools, without twisting or bending it repeatedly... that required at least third-level power, and that required a path that enhanced physical strength.
At that moment, the honey badger realized the killer's motive.
——This must be to “vent anger”.
"It's like hitting a sandbag repeatedly... It's not for exercise, nor is it to break through the sandbag."
Aleister nodded and commented, "He simply wanted to vent his excess energy and restless heart."
"That's right."
Honey Badger nodded in confirmation, "There's no doubt that the bigwigs who can enter the VIP room obviously can't have any conflicts or hatreds with the blood slaves here. Even if they do, there's absolutely no need for them to fight in public."
Therefore, he must have been deceived by someone——
"He already harbored immense anger in his heart, and after being affected by some supernatural power, he suddenly took his anger out on others.
"After venting his feelings, he felt immense satisfaction. In a state of irrational self-satisfaction, he turned on the visualization knob and displayed all his completed 'work' for everyone to see.
"At least at that point, he had completely ignored the potential trouble he'd face if anyone discovered this. He simply wanted to demonstrate his own strength. From this perspective, I believe his dissatisfaction and anger were directed at his own personal abilities."
Honey Badger further analyzed: "He committed such atrocities precisely to prove that he 'could do it.' In other words, he was doubting his own existence and abilities... He subconsciously felt inferior."
Aleister nodded and continued, "You are right, just as I thought."
"Miss, what you are talking about is..."
The honey badger paused. "Sudden killing intent... this isn't the first time, is it?"
"Smart. As expected of you, you're a professional."
Aleister praised.
Just as every detective is the best murderer and phantom thief—in a sense, the reverse is also true. In front of one of the world's most powerful killers, those exposed clues and motives are as obvious and easy to touch as vegetable stalks in a field.
"These sudden episodes started happening this week, once a day. Today was the fifth time. The characteristic is that everyone suddenly does something crazy, like 'this thought has crossed their mind, but is quickly stopped by reason.'
"For example, you might dislike me and want to stab me. Under normal circumstances, this would just be a thought... because you know what would happen if you did it."
Aleister said this calmly, glancing meaningfully at the honey badger. "But under the guidance of this special power, the moment you think to yourself, 'I want to stab her,' your body has already begun to act. According to the perpetrators of several previous incidents, this is how this power works."
“…What happens next?”
The honey badger keenly caught the part that Aleister didn't mention: "When did they react afterwards?"
"—almost immediately."
Aleister replied, "So I say, this isn't a loss of reason, nor is it a descent into madness. It's a delay in rationality taking control of the body."
But the honey badger frowned deeply.
Aleister noticed this and said, "You can tell me what you think. Don't worry about misleading me. I'm not that easy to mislead."
"...Yes. What I'm thinking is...this doesn't seem like the behavior of a Moon Child. Or rather, it doesn't seem like the behavior of a transcendent on the path of love."
The honey badger thought for a moment and explained, "They like to emphasize the importance of desire, believing it to be an essential part of one's personality and self. If it was a transcendent from the path of love who planned this conspiracy, they would have focused on 'expanding desire'."
“Although the direction is different, it’s the same idea as mine.”
Aleister nodded: "But I can basically rule out one wrong answer for you - this is definitely not what the Moon Child did.
"Because I've recognized it—it's just one big ceremony."
