Chapter 201. Frightened investigators
Meanwhile, on the side of Coswall City.
Fame, who was waiting for orders from his superiors, suddenly saw a new mission arrangement appearing on the parchment.
Fame gave a quick glance:
[Please ask President Qing Yuhuai to come over and help test whether the testimony of Yan Liu and others is credible. Then ask Ninety-Nine to come to the house and let her admit that she didn't use hallucinations or hypnotic magic. Then ask him about the purpose of coming to Kecheng and the reason for using self-destruction magic. Advice: Please be prepared to teleport crystals. In case of danger, come back immediately. 】
After reading it, Fame almost didn't faint.
"Damn, didn't you say you didn't need to ask these questions!" He scolded angrily and fearfully in his heart. Before he came to Kecheng, he specifically asked Minister Edward, 'I don't need to ask such a question?', and the minister replied in the affirmative—no.
In his decades of fame, he has heard no less than 40 times about people who have been seriously injured, even disabled, or even killed in the line of duty because they have carried out such a mission. So he was well aware of the dangers of the task of 'inquiring about the purpose'.
Take a case that Cheng Ming recently heard as an example:
Four months ago, an orc adventurer came to Egret City, and he did a lot of good things. However, there are frequent cases of missing girls in the city. Therefore, the higher authorities sent an elite unit of the military department to investigate.
As soon as I asked, I immediately found out that the orc was lying.
After further investigation, that person actually killed directly.
It turned out that the one was not an orc at all, but an Immortal who disguised himself as an orc with illusion magic.
Although the Nevernight Clan was wiped out in the end, only three of the 24 elite troops in charge of the interrogation survived.
And Egret City also paid a big price: the death toll exceeded 40. Most of them were sucked dry and died by the Nightless Clan without knowing it.
"Isn't this kind of questioning usually done by someone sent by the military department! Why do you want me to do it? What a meow! I'm sick! Fame continued to scold in his heart.
"Ah ↗↘, that's enough!" Fame squinted tightly, trying to take it all as a dream, but when he opened his eyes again, nothing changed.
"Ugh!"
"Uh, Team Leader? What's wrong with you?" Li Wenzheng on the side asked with concern.
"Ah, it's nothing, it's just that I suddenly remembered that my superiors had explained some things. There may be some trouble, so I don't know how to speak to you, Lord Castle, for a while." Fame said with a wry smile. The smile was somewhat helpless, and although it was a laugh, there was a feeling of crying.
"Ninety-Nine, I beg you to be a good person. I beg you, even if you are a bad person, please let me go! I don't want to die yet! Fame pleaded in his heart.
"Haha, as long as it is the above arrangement, I, Li, will fully cooperate, just say it." The city lord didn't know why, so he smiled politely.
"Hehe, just say it......" Looking at Li Wenzheng's gentlemanly smile because he didn't understand the seriousness of the situation, he really wanted to cry without tears, and he even began to fantasize that someone would suddenly be sent to replace him.
Fame at the moment, I really don't want to perform this task.
However, if he did not carry it out, it would be disobeying military orders. After all, the Battle Damage Investigation Team is a state-level agency subordinate to the Ministry of War.
Disobeying military orders is a capital offense at least and a family member is very involved. Fame didn't want his wife and daughter to become slaves, so he could only bite the bullet, try to suppress the fear in his heart, and told Li Wenzheng about the arrangement of his superiors: "That's the case......
……
After some exchanges. City Lord Li Wenzheng understood what his superiors meant.
"I see. The team leader doesn't need to mind, since it is the intention of the superior, we will implement it. I'm going to go to President Qing."
So, in accordance with the requirements of his superiors, Li Wenzheng invited Chairman Qing.
……
After a while, Qing Yuhuai came to the city lord's office.
"Lord Castle, what are you looking for me?"
"That's right, it is suspected that Yan Liu's memories and I have been altered by Ninety-Nine. So I'd like to ask you to help us identify it."
"Hah, that's easy to say." Qing Yuhuai smiled helplessly. The heart said, "Even if that one really used hypnotic magic, I wouldn't be able to detect it."
"Well, since it's the arrangement above, let's do it."
Immediately, Qing Yuhuai began the 'magic skewer'.
Golden, purple, light red, and white circles took turns to fight, and bursts of light, light explosions, and light winds echoed in the room one after another.
After more than 10 minutes of 'fireworks display'. Qing Yuhuai looked at Cheng Ming, who was standing aside, a little dumbfounded: "Cheng Team Leader, I have already used all the high-level (awakening, disillusioning) magic that I can use according to the requirements of my superiors."
"So, did you find anything?" Fame smiled bitterly.
"No, nothing. Upon inspection, I didn't find any control magic. Hallucinations, hypnosis, modified memories, mind control, none of them." Qing Yuhuai replied calmly, she had already guessed the result.
"So......" Cheng Ming nodded, and then looked at the City Lord, Yan Liu, and the others: "City Lord, and everyone from Yan Liu's team, do you have anything new in mind about Ninety-Nine?"
"No", "No," the castle lord and the others shook their heads.
Chengming looked at the hourglass that was not moving, and his heart relaxed a little.
Then he looked at the parchment and prayed in his heart, "That's it, there's no need to look for that person again." ”
However, when "Please continue with the mission. When these 7 big characters came into the eyes of fame, his heart swirled again.
"Ah~!" Fame was so desperate that he broke the jar at this moment, so he smiled and said, "Then Lord Castle, next, I want to meet the Nevernight Clan." But those eyes were somewhat dim. Fame heart: "Well, it doesn't matter......"
"Okay," the lord said, still with a kind face.
"But before I do that, I want to do some precautions to prevent danger." Fame said with a wry smile.
"Huh?" Li Wenzheng frowned and looked at the nervous investigator in front of him in confusion. I was speechless in my heart: "It's all investigated (on the part), are you still (is) not trusting?" ”
"It's not necessary, Adult. I'm sure the Ninety-Nine won't be bad people." Yan Liu said.
"I also believe in Sister Xiaojiu." Fran followed suit.
"I understand the trust you place in her, but, for security reasons, I ask you to cooperate with me." Fame said helplessly.
"Alright, then we'll prepare." The city lord nodded helplessly. He couldn't help but think of the first time he saw Ninety-Nine, and he had also made all preparations. So he laughed at himself again: "Oh, isn't it the same for myself (at ......the beginning)?"
"Thank you for your understanding," Seimei nodded.
