Chapter 23: Confronting the Brotherhood Cross-Examination

Elmo thought for a moment, then suddenly came back to his senses, stared at Murray and said slyly: "Good boy, you deliberately brought up the problem of the mechanical arm, don't think that if you can fix the hidden danger of my arm, I can let you go, I can't do this matter." ”

Murray immediately smiled and said, "Yes, yes, I understand, in fact, I just have a small question for you." ”

Elmo hesitated, waved his hand, and said, "Okay, if you have any questions, just ask." ”

Murray lowered his voice and cautiously asked, "That, that Jack, how the hell did he die?"

Elmo raised his eyebrows, looked Mori up and down carefully, and then said, "It is said that he was burned to death, but I don't know the specifics." ”

"What, burned?" Murray cried out in feigned surprise.

Then he asked with a puzzled face, "Since he was burned to death, what does that have to do with me?"

The smile on Elmo's face instantly closed, and he replied with a straight face, "I'm sorry, this is already the second question." ”

Murray immediately covered his mouth, and sure enough, he didn't ask anything more, just lowered his head and rubbed the corners of his clothes like a child who had done something wrong.

Seeing Murray's appearance, Elmo smiled again and said, "The reason why I brought you back is because someone knew that Jack was looking for you last night, and we just wanted to know, did you see Jack last night?"

At this point, the smile on Elmo's face disappeared again, and he looked at Murray seriously and asked, "Little one, you'd better tell the truth." ”

In the face of Elmo's gaze, Murray didn't hide much, and replied directly: "Actually, I, I did meet Jack last night. ”

As soon as this sentence came out, the sound of "click" gears suddenly sounded around, and the next moment under Moli's surprised gaze, the narrow alley in front of him changed suddenly, the walls on both sides of the alley slowly lowered, and the passages on both sides of the alley were blocked, and in a blink of an eye, the originally narrow alley became a spacious courtyard.

One woke Murray from shock: "Tell me, was Jack still alive when you saw him?"

Following the sound, I saw a group of young men in suspenders dressed in the same outfit as Elmo, surrounded by a middle-aged man in an aristocratic suit and an aristocratic manner.

The man's outfit shows that he is a true nobleman, and his elegant demeanor is almost impeccable.

At this time, the man stared at Mori, as if quietly waiting for Mori to give him the answer he wanted.

Murray hesitated for a moment, first saluted the middle-aged man, and then replied, "Hello sir, when I met Jack, he was indeed alive, but his death really has nothing to do with me. ”

The man's gaze suddenly froze, and he continued to ask, "So, what did you say when you met Jack?"

The moment he was stared at by the man's gaze, Murray suddenly felt a dangerous aura of life.

I can clearly feel that as long as I say even one word wrong, I may die on the spot.

Luck is in the machinery of the heart, and the operation of the machine replaces the role of the heart, keeping one's heart in a state of calm.

Then Murray confronted him and said, "Jack stopped me and wanted to collect the protection money I owe him. ”

"And then?" the man's voice was almost emotionless.

Murray calmly replied, "And then I didn't give it to him, and we had an argument." ”

"There was an argument, so you burned him to death, right?" The man's eyes shot a magical light as his voice rose instantly.

The moment he saw those two rays of light, Murray subconsciously wanted to dodge, but the running machinery helped him stop his steps.

Sure enough, after two flashes of magical light, the ground around Mori suddenly cracked, and the surrounding area became an abyss, and Mori became the person who occupied the abyss alone, unable to advance or retreat even a single step.

Faced with such a scene, Murray could only helplessly reply: "No, sir, I, I'm just a little handyman, I can't kill Jack." ”

The man's voice raised again: "Then answer me, who was it at that time, who killed Jack, and how did you escape?"

The questioning made Murray show a panicked look, which was normal in the eyes of men and bad boy brotherhood people.

Murray hesitated for a moment, and could only continue: "At that time, a woman in a black velvet robe appeared, she was the one who saved me, and then I fled, I really don't know what happened next. ”

"Black velvet robe?" This time, the sharpness in the man's gaze disappeared in an instant.

"Black Velvet Magic Robe" In the Sun Empire, the only person who is qualified to wear such a magic robe is a witch.

Knowing that it was a witch who made a move, it really shocked the middle-aged man, and the momentum of oppressing Moli was much weaker all of a sudden.

But just for a moment, the man's momentum instantly recovered, and he angrily scolded: "Bastard, you are lying. ”

With the other party's angry shout, a powerful spiritual oppression hit instantly, and Murray only felt as if his head had been hit hard, like a nerve had been broken, and he only felt that his head was split, and his spirit instantly became sluggish.

This is a unique kind of spiritual magic, which is the spiritual oppression of a high-level magician against a low-level magician.

High-level magicians often use mental oppression to deter low-level magicians, so that low-level magicians cannot perform magic.

This trick is even useful in the current era of mechanical spellcasting, because when the spirit is oppressed, the caster cannot use the spirit to control the magic power, and naturally cannot use the magic power to urge the machine.

And this kind of mental oppression against magicians can be said to be a devastating spiritual blow to ordinary people like Murray who don't know magic at all.

At the moment of mental oppression, his eyes were almost golden, and even his legs were no longer obedient, and his feet seemed to be stepping on cotton.

Standing on the platform of isolation, Murray felt very isolated, people have not fallen into the abyss, but the spirit and soul have fallen into the abyss.

The middle-aged man frowned slightly when he saw Mori's appearance, completely unexpectedly that the young man in front of him didn't understand magic at all.

Ordinary people who don't know magic at all suffer mental oppression, which is simply a devastating blow, and even the spirit may be completely crushed, and some people may directly become idiots.

Seeing the young man standing there staggering, but gritting his teeth to keep his balance, the man couldn't help but murmur: "Oops, is it really nothing to do with this kid? If that's the case, wouldn't it cause any trouble if you hurt him directly like this? Alas, damn it, why do you have anything to do with the witch? But even the witch is afraid that it can't be separated from this kid, and the answer must be found out as soon as possible." ”

Muttering a few words, the man looked at the young man who was still insisting on not falling, and suddenly raised the mechanical wand in his hand as if he had made up his mind.
