"I will judge you carefully."
Ji Chuan pretended to be angry and glanced at the three people, causing a chill to run down their bodies.
It's like a prey encountering a hunter, it's an instinctive fear. The deputy leader is so young, why does he have such a strong aura?
Hua Ranqiu and Ji Chuan disappeared. Yin Lie and Ning Chuhe knew that this was the first person Ji Chuan would interrogate.
Generally, in order to prevent collusion in confessions, important cases would be tried separately. Although it was already late at night, they did not feel sleepy at all.
Ning Chuhe sat on the ground with her head buried in her knees, hugging herself with her hands. She was very sad.
I originally thought that Yin Lie was a simple-minded, rough guy, and one of the few people in the base with whom I could have a close relationship, but I found out that he was not simple.
He took advantage of her kindness towards him and made her fall into this trap.
Strictly speaking, it was she who proposed the action plan for tonight. What should we do next?
The deputy leader didn't look like someone who could be fooled. If I told him the whole truth, would he believe me? Even if he believed me, what punishment would I receive?
"Xiao Ning..."
Yin Lie called Ning Chuhe with a look of grievance, but Ning Chuhe did not respond. Ning Chuhe would not believe him anymore.
"It's really not what you think..."
"Get lost! How long do you want to play tricks on me?"
Yin Lie shut his mouth. He knew that all explanations were in vain. He could only pin his hopes on the deputy leader being able to restore the truth of the matter.
Hua Ranqiu was trembling all over. In a completely closed room, Ji Chuan was sitting on a very high chair, examining her. He even untied all her restraints. That was the confidence of a strong man.
"Tell me, why did you betray the base?"
"Deputy leader, I didn't... Ning Chuhe found me today and said that Xu Huaizhi was in imminent danger and only we could save him. Xu Huaizhi usually treats me well, so I listened to the plan she told me."
"They want to take advantage of the gathering of personnel at the base during the banquet. Because my ability can cause people to have negative states, I can make the guards at the contact center appear abnormal, and Ning Chuhe can take them to treatment."
"Yin Lie took this opportunity to enter the contact center and sent a distress signal to Shannan City. I was really just confused for a moment and had no intention of betraying the base!"
Hua Ranqiu knelt down. She didn't expect that her action would make her be labeled a traitor.
"Nonsense! As an adult, don't you have any judgment on a matter? How dare you rescue a suspect like this! You asked for help from other bases without telling the base! What if the base really needs help in the future? What if Xu Huaizhi and Shannan City take control of the base?"
Ji Chuan spoke with righteous indignation, like a deputy leader who really cared about the base.
Hua Ranqiu just kept crying. That was all she knew and she had already told him everything she knew.
"Today's incident has caused a big stir. All members of the base are paying attention to it. Shannan City will also pay attention to how you are dealt with. I'm afraid you can't be saved. The base will not keep anyone who is suspicious, and you are also powerful special-level psychics..."
"Deputy Chief, save me! I'm really not a traitor! I can do anything for you. I don't want to die..."
Hua Ranqiu grabbed Ji Chuan's calf and begged for mercy. She was just a clerk in a piano store before, but after awakening her special superpowers, she inexplicably became the captain of the combat team.
She actually didn't want to take on this responsibility, she just wanted to survive in the apocalypse.
There were very few employees in the music store and she had no experience in getting along with her colleagues. She didn't keep any grudges at the base. She treated anyone who was nice to her as her friend and did things without much thought.
People will only sum up their experiences and grow after encountering practical things. If she is given another chance, she will no longer agree to other people's requests casually.
But she seemed to have no chance. In the apocalypse, betraying the base could be considered one of the most serious crimes, and that meant becoming the enemy of all the survivors.
"There may be only one solution left..."
"What's the solution, deputy leader? I'm willing to do anything!"
"Sacrifice your soul so that I can be sure that you have no second thoughts about the base. The interrogator has also been turned, and I cannot trust his judgment."
Ji Chuan lifted Hua Ranqiu's chin with one finger. Their faces were very close, and Hua Ranqiu felt a strong sense of oppression, a feeling she had never felt from anyone else.
She felt that there was a faint red glow in Ji Chuan's eyes, which was cunning and tempting in the slightly dim room. She didn't understand what Ji Chuan's words meant, but it seemed that this was the only way to survive.
She was stunned for a moment, met Ji Chuan's bottomless eyes, and nodded.
Ji Chuan was in a good mood. He signed soul contracts with Yin Lie and Ning Chuhe in the same way. Although their superpowers were not what he wanted very much, he currently had few special superpowers, so it was better to have some than nothing.
The three people were extremely grateful to Ji Chuan because they had no evidence to prove that they were not traitors, and Ji Chuan had already done his best by saving them.
What's more, after signing the contract, they didn't feel any discomfort, but just respected Ji Chuan more.
Ji Chuan even let them go back to their rooms that night and have a good sleep.
The deputy chief lived up to his reputation. He was indeed the kindest and most benevolent leader. He did not make things any more difficult for them and did not use any punishment.
Such a serious crime would normally result in physical pain, and if offering their souls could free them from suspicion, they would be very willing to prove themselves.
The unconscious Xu Huaizhi appeared in a closed room, and Ji Chuan used the range healing power of [Spring] he had just acquired on him. The healing effect of this power was limited, but it was much better than his original healing power.
If you want the best single-target healing effect, you still need the [Holy Healing Spirit] of that person in Xinze City.
Xu Huaizhi slowly opened his eyes. He looked very haggard and tired.
Seeing that it was Ji Chuan who was standing opposite him, he gave a bitter smile.
"Any more explanation, rebel?"
Ji Chuan's voice was cold, like a dagger stabbing into Xu Huaizhi's chest.
He shook his head indifferently. He knew that he had lost his composure tonight and wasted his only chance to ask Shannan for help without any certainty or definite evidence.
Chu Tiankuo would not care about him anymore. Li Jingru wanted to get rid of him, and Ji Chuan, the only one who could save him, was also offended at night.
He had a chance, but he put himself in danger step by step.
He still doesn't understand why Li Jingru wants to get rid of him, since he is so loyal.
"You shouldn't have resisted me. In fact, your judgment was correct."
Hearing Ji Chuan's words, Xu Huaizhi's dull eyes became alert again.
