Chapter 25: Interrogation
Branch of the Imperial Bureau of Investigation in Port Mousse, inside the "Tea Room".
Henry and Jacques sat on either side of the long table, and Fat Orange crouched in a small cage in the corner, constantly whispering. Only Jacques knew that it was swearing everyone in the Bureau.
"Let the emperor out! The bespectacled fox eyes! The pickled cucumber-smelling stinky paws, you have no right to shut up the emperor! The dog's legs that robbed along the road, the aborigines' crotch cloths! If the emperor is mad, he is afraid, don't let the emperor catch you, I will tie you up and throw you into the sewer to feed the mice." Stupid donkey, baboon, caterpillar......"
Jacques couldn't hold back a smile, and secretly sighed that the fat orange soaked in the library for half a year was really not in vain, and the scolding words were novel and not the same.
Henry leaned back in his chair and squinted at the boy opposite, compared to what he saw from the source energy monitor half a year ago, the boy had grown slightly taller, his body was much stronger, and he was no longer lean.
Henry stroked his round glasses and said in a gentle tone as much as possible: "Mr. Renault, introduce yourself, I am the head of the Imperial Bureau of Investigation Port Mousse, Henry Anglade. I invite you to come over today, mainly because there are a few things that need to be confirmed with you.
Don't be nervous, our Investigation Bureau talks about evidence, and we will not dispose of people casually. I invite you to tea today, because I need to understand some things from you, as long as you cooperate well, you can return to the academy in a while, and today's events are like nothing happened.
Hey, doesn't the tea taste the same? Try it, this is the latest popular way to drink in the imperial capital. ”
Jacques looked down at the small porcelain cup in front of him, the milky white porcelain cup contained light yellow hot water, and thought: no sugar, no milk, the tea is not reddish-brown, you call this tea? It seems to have a little fragrance, and there is a hint of tea in the fragrance.
Jacques picked up the porcelain cup and took a slight sip, it was the taste of tea, but it was not so strong, the fragrance remained in the mouth, and the aftertaste seemed to be a little sweet.
Seeing this, Henry asked, "Mr. Renault, then we begin." First question, have you ever practiced the Source Energy Technique?"
Jacques almost dropped the porcelain cup in his hand, and replied calmly: "No, the academy does not have my source energy skills. ”
"So have you learned the Source Energy Technique in the Transcendent Guild? As far as I know, the Guild has a record of Chaos Source Energy Technique. ”
"No, I don't know any source energy skills at the moment. ”
"And what do you do with frequent visits to the Transcendental Guild?"
"My master is training my martial arts skills. ”
"Your master, Lily Naselli?"
"Yes. ”
"So you're also training your martial arts skills today?"
"Yes!"
"Who's training you? Lily Naselli has been out of town for a week. ”
"I train myself according to the requirements set by my master. ”
"What requirements?"
Jacques began to list the amount of training prescribed by Lily, and after listening, Henry pondered for a few seconds, and continued to ask: "Can you control the source energy to leave the body now?" like ......this, he stretched out his right hand, and a small blue light appeared in the palm of his hand, Jacques knew a little about this, Emma was able to do it last week, and it was the first of the three of them to be able to control the source energy out of the body, but Emma's light cluster was black.
Jacques shook his head and said no, "I can't separate the chaos system in the source energy yet, and without the support of the source energy technique, I can't separate the source energy, let alone the source energy out of the body." ”
Henry put away the light, grabbed Jacques's right wrist, and said, "Perhaps, we can try." ”
Immediately after, a stream of heat entered Jacques's body from his right wrist, and the heat rushed through Jacques's body, rushing left and right, leaving a strong burning sensation in the place it passed, and this heat flow also wanted to burst out of the body, and every time it tried to drill out, it would leave a huge pain in that position, which was heavier than Alixia's punch.
In just ten seconds, the heat flow traveled almost all over Jacques's body, and he also tried to break through Jacques's body five or six times. Jacques could no longer sit still and was about to slip off his chair, but two of Henry's men stepped forward and held Jacques together to secure him in the chair. The heat flow seemed to be controlled by Henry, and it did not harm Jacques's vital organs, but it left Jacques with great pain.
......Seeing this, Fat Tangerine couldn't scold anymore, and shouted: "Jacques, 'Eight Winds Refinery', entering the Eight Winds Refining Body can drive away the source energy that he forcibly stuffed into his body." Hurry!"
At this time, Jacques felt as if his whole body was being burned, and he was subjected to heavy punches, and vaguely heard Fat Tang's words, so he tried to hit his spirit and tried to enter the state of Eight Winds Refining Body.
However, although Jacques has entered the Eight Winds Refining Body dozens of times in the past six months, all of them have entered in a state of complete exhaustion of physical strength, not only does the body still have the remaining strength to compete with the source energy for control, but the pain all over his body makes him unable to concentrate, and after another half a minute, Jacques still can't enter the Eight Winds Refining Body.
Commissioner Henry also felt a little surprised, judging from the subtle reactions of his body, Jacques lied about the source energy technique, judging from the amount of training Jacques said just now, it was impossible for a 13-year-old boy who had not mastered the source energy technique to complete it. If he had mastered the Source Energy Technique, under the great pain, a 13-year-old boy would have been able to use the method of mobilizing the Source Energy in the Source Energy Technique, and drive out the Source Energy that he had forcibly poured into his body to cause trouble.
Henry stroked his glasses and continued, "Then I will change the question and answer to my satisfaction, and I can help you relieve your pain." Where were you on Monday, March 16, four days ago?"
Jacques tried his best to squeeze a trace of voice out of his throat: "Training in the guild in the morning, huhu, classes at school in the afternoon, and dormitories in the evening." ”
"Who can prove it?"
"Deacon Falk of the guild helped me open the door to the training room, and he was the one who locked the door when I left...... Yes!...... My afternoon class was the basics of alchemy and the general knowledge of spiritual planting, which the instructors and students in the class could prove. I've said it all, I've said it all......"
"Have you been out of town lately?"
"Nope!"
"What about going to sea?"
"Neither!"
"Who can prove it?"
"I'm either in the academy or in the guild every day, how can I have time to go out of the city and go to sea?"
"You don't know how to use energy skills?"
"No!"
Jacques didn't lie completely about this, his two talent source energy skills can hardly be used actively, and his mother's alien beast contract is also completed under the stimulation of Fat Tangerine, and at present, he can't even use the most basic subsidiary skills, and it's not wrong to say that he can't use source energy skills.
Henry wanted to add some extra weights to stimulate Jacques one more time, so he grabbed his wrist and sent another stream of heat into him.
The pain stacked up, and Jacques couldn't help but scream.
Fat Tangerine was anxious in the cage on the side.
