Xiahoudun tried hard to open his eyes, his right eye could be opened, but there was a heart-rending pain on the left, he glanced to the left with his right eye, as if he saw something like white gauze sticking to his left eye. He knew he was sitting, and he wanted to change his position, but his body couldn't move. In the haze, he saw a bright light rushing towards him, and there seemed to be two people on the other side of the light. He tried to block the light with his hands so that he could see who was on the other side, but found that his hands were handcuffed to the armrests on either side.

Xiahoudun tried to remember what had happened before, he remembered going up the mountain with Cao Ren, remembering that he had met the source of the sin blade in the woods, remembering what Cao Bao and Lu Bu seemed to have said to him, and he couldn't remember anything else.

"Where am I?" Xiahoudun's chapped lips trembled slightly, and his voice was so small that only he could hear it.

"This is the underground interrogation room of the Mengde Division of the Spirit Record Bureau, and we are the representatives who have been ordered to interrogate you. Team Leader Xiahou, you have finally woken up. With a shrill and piercing voice, a person walked towards Xia Houdun from the other side of the light. The man was dressed in a white shirt and a black suit, with a large shiny back, small, round eyes, a slightly crooked hooked nose, a pointed face, thick lips, and "eight-twenty" eyebrows that echoed his short mustache. The man shook his head and walked up to Xiahoudun and continued, "Perhaps, I should call you a demon now. ”

Demons? Why? Xiahoudun could only ask in his mind at this time, and he didn't have the strength to ask a complete question because of his body collapse. Once again, he remembered everything that had happened before, but he didn't get anything out of it. Xiahoudun looked at the man's face and didn't recognize him. I looked at the nameplate hanging on the man's chest again, which read the words "Proceedings of the Linglu Bureau - Li Dao". It turns out that this person is Li Dao, so who is that person? Xiahoudun thought to himself, and moved his gaze to the person who was sitting there without moving, because the light was blocked, Xiahoudun couldn't see the man's face clearly, and could only see that the person kept shaking a white feather fan in his hand.

"It seems that Team Leader Xiahou can't remember." Li Wei sneered, propped one hand on the back of the chair that was handcuffed to Xia Houdun, stared at Xia Houdun and said, "Can I remind you?" ”

What's going on? Why are you being tortured here? Xiahoudun thought like this, he was powerless to answer, and he didn't know how to answer, so he had to look at Li Dao with a fierce face in confusion.

Seeing that Xiahoudun still didn't answer, Li Dao said, "Then you can tell me first, how Cao Bao was killed by you, right?" ”

Cao Bao is dead? How did he die? Who killed him? At this time, Xiahoudun was like a dream, and he didn't know how to answer at all, so he could only answer weakly: "I don't know." ”

Li Dao walked back to the table in front of his seat just now, picked up some things from the table, and walked back and held them in his hands to show Xia Houdun one by one. It turned out that there were several photos, and they were all bloody scenes, and Cao Bao's death was horrific. Li Wei put the things in his hand on the table beside him, and then asked, "Do you remember now?" ”

"Water ......" Xiahoudun faintly began to ask for water.

When Li Dao heard Xiahoudun ask for water, he first glared at Xiahoudun with contempt, then sneered and said, "Okay, I'll give you water." Li Wei picked up a glass from the table next to him, then walked to the water dispenser and took a glass of water, and handed it to Xiahoudun.

Xiahoudun looked at the glass of water, then looked down at his handcuffed hands, took a deep breath, and did not make a sound.

"That's fine." Then Li Dao took out a straw in the small cabinet under the water dispenser, put it in the cup, and then handed it to Xiahoudun.

Xiahoudun followed the straw and drank it in a big gulp, and drank all the water in the cup in two sips.

Seeing that Xiahoudun had finished drinking the water, Li Wei withdrew the water cup and put it aside, "Now, you can talk about it." ”

Xiahoudun was silent for a while, then looked up at Li Dao, then at the mysterious person who had been shaking the feather fan on the other side of the light, and finally stopped his gaze on the empty cup placed aside, his voice was still so weak, "I remember that I seemed to have a quarrel with Cao Bao, but I didn't kill him." ”

"Didn't kill him?" Li Wei smiled bitterly, and then said impatiently: "Could it be that he died by himself?" Everything at the scene can be attested to that you killed him. ”

"I've met demons." Xiahoudun explained, "I chased the demons in the woods, and chased them to the gate of Lu Bu's camp, and wanted to go in to find out where the demons were, but Cao Bao refused, so we had a dispute. I'll admit that I was too reckless, but I really didn't want to kill him. ”

"You? Chasing demons? Hearing this, Li Wei was stunned for a moment, then looked back at the person who was still shaking the feather fan there, turned his face back, and laughed, "This is the most ridiculous lie I have ever heard!" ”

"Li Shiwei, I don't think I need to ask." The man shaking the feather fan finally spoke, and he stood up and walked over the light. The man had a bookish face, looked no more than thirty years old, wore a pair of rimless glasses, and was very sven, with a beautiful face and attentive eyes. The man was dressed in a pale blue suit, with a dark red tie tied under the collar of his linen-colored shirt, and a white feather fan in his hand, which shook rhythmically. The man walked up to Xiahoudun, glanced at Xiahoudun with a hint of pity in his eyes, sighed softly, and then turned his head to look at Li Dao and said, "Just hand it over to the Council of the Spirit Record Bureau." ”

"Oh?" When Li Dao heard this, he glanced at the man who was shaking the feather fan with some excitement, and said, "According to what you mean, there is no need for trial?" ”

"I've always felt the need for trial." The man shook his feather fan and slowly paced towards the door, "The evidence is conclusive, even if he doesn't admit it, he can be punished." You go and ask the other delegates what they mean, and I'll go back. ”

Li Dao twisted his mustache with his hand, and said with a smile: "Then it depends on Dr. Zhuge will." ”

Zhuge ? It turned out that this person was Zhuge Liang. Xiahoudun was even more puzzled, he had long heard that Zhuge Liang was fair, honest and thoughtful, and would never do unreasonable things, and although the two had never met before, they cooperated a lot remotely, not only had no grievances, but they could also be regarded as colleagues with good relations, but he said here today that he wanted to punish his own crimes, and also said that the evidence was conclusive, why is this?

Li Wei intervened his hand, looked at Xiahoudun for a while, and then said to him with a wicked smile: "Why do you say you are doing this? It's already a fact that you're a demon who killed a member of the Spirit Record Bureau, so why are you bothering here? You can honestly explain the process of your collusion with the demons, so that you may be punished lightly, and I can also win a merit in the game, and we can have the best of both worlds, okay? ”

"I said I didn't do it, I didn't do it, and I'm not a demon." Xiahoudun sat there and said panting.

"Then you just wait to die!" Li Wei said viciously, but glanced back at Zhuge Liang with some fear.

Zhuge Liang walked to the door of the interrogation room, heard Li Dao say this, he glanced back, stood there thoughtfully and stopped for a while, then calmed down, opened the door, and walked out of the interrogation room.

Li Wei sent Zhuge Liang away with his afterglow, then turned his head to look at Xiahoudun, smiled weirdly, and left.

Watching the two of them leave, Xiahoudun let out a long breath. His spirit regained a little, and he managed to sit up straighter, looking around, only to find that he could not see anything in the blinding light ahead. The interrogation room was separated from the outside world, and I didn't know what day it was, or what time it was.

Xiahoudun fell into deep thought. What's going on? Why did Zhuge Liang and Li Dao insist that they were demons? Why can't I see in my left eye? This series of sudden problems brought a huge sense of oppression to Xiahoudun. What made Xiahoudun even more worried was Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Ling, Chen Xuan and his unborn child. Are they okay now? Is it safe? Do you know your condition? Are you worried about yourself? These questions made Xiahoudun close his right eye, which was the only one that could see.

Zhuge Liang and Li Dao got on the elevator together, Li Dao put his finger on the fingerprint reader on the control board, and pressed the button leading to the hall on the first floor as the prompt sounded. The elevator doors closed and began to rise.

Zhuge Liang glanced at Li Dao, who seemed to be smiling on the side, and a series of doubts suddenly aroused in his heart. Whether it is Lu Bu's confession or the analysis of the scene, the death of Cao Bao and those guards must have been caused by Xiahoudun, and with this alone, Xiahoudun's sin can be cured, not to mention that the laboratory department really detected the demonic qi from Xiahoudun's body, you must know that if a person really does not have the will to become a demon, he cannot be forcibly instilled with demonic qi by external force alone. But why does the intervention from the beginning to the current interrogation make people faintly feel that Xiahoudun is a victim? Also, since Xiahoudun is a demon and has already killed the members of the bureau in public, why should he deny it at this time? The most incomprehensible thing is that the demonic energy on Xiahoudun's body is slowly dissipating over time, why is this? Could it be that he wants to hide his demonic energy? But if you want to hide it, why hide it slowly?

The elevator came to the first floor, the door opened, the two of them got out of the elevator, came to the hall, looked around, and saw Dian Wei and Cao Ren standing near the elevator.

There was a person standing very close to Dian Wei and Cao Ren, that person looked to be around thirty years old, born heroic, with upright facial features that brought a strong sense of justice, and was wearing a black suit that was uniformly required to be worn by the head of the Spirit Recording Bureau. This person is the leader of the Zilong group who walked with Zhuge Liang this time - Zhao Yun.

Looking further afield, there was a man standing alone in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the lobby, looking out the window at the evening snow. The man looked younger than everyone present, and he looked twenty-four or five years old, and his handsome silhouette, delicate facial features, fashionable and steady hairstyle, coupled with his fair skin comparable to that of a woman, formed a sharp contrast with his tall and burly figure, and this made many young girls fall for it. A dark black suit, the white shirt inside is also very elegant, and the patent leather shoes under his feet are polished without a trace of patterns. And this person is the leader of the Gongjin team - Zhou Yu.

Zhuge Liang walked to Zhao Yun's side and said, "After sleeping for more than a day, I finally woke up." ”

"What? Xiahoudun woke up? When Dian Wei heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "How is he?" ”

Although Zhuge Liang was talking, he was still thinking about the questions just now, so naturally he couldn't answer Dian Wei in time, but he was still slowly walking forward to himself, "What the hell is it?" ”

"I'm asking you!" Dian Wei's words shook the entire hall.

Zhuge Liang was startled by this shock, then turned his head to look at Dian Wei, and then asked, "Huh?" Did you just ask me? ”

"Are you deaf?" Dian Wei pointed at Zhuge Liang and shouted.

"Hugh is presumptuous!" Zhao Yun stepped forward to protect Zhuge Liang, glared at Dian Wei and said.

Dian Wei stared at Zhao Yun fiercely, then grabbed Zhao Yun's collar again, and shouted, "Believe it or not, I punched you flat!" ”

"You let me go!" Zhao Yun grabbed Dian Wei's arm and pulled it away.

"Stop." Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan, looked at Zhao Yun, and shook his head.

"Stop, Dian Wei." Cao Ren stepped forward and grabbed Dian Wei, who wanted to do it again. He shook his head at Dian Wei, and then said to Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun, "I'm sorry, two. We just want to know about our friends. ”

"Team leader Xiahou is awake, and his body is fine." Zhuge Liang looked at Cao Ren and replied, "It's just that I haven't explained anything, if there is still no confession before nine o'clock tonight, I have to hand it over to the Council of the Spirit Record Bureau according to the existing evidence." ”

"Transfer the council?" Cao Ren was startled, his hands trembled a little, his index finger rubbed the jade wrench on his thumb vigorously, thought for a while, and continued to ask: "If the council is handed over, with the current situation, how will Xiahoudun be handled?" ”

Zhuge Liang sighed slightly, maybe he didn't want to see such a thing happen. He shook the feather fan gently, shook his head slightly, and said, "The council has decided that if Xiahoudun is unwilling to cooperate with the interrogation, they will permanently seal Xiahoudun's fighting spirit. ”
