Chapter XIX: Cross-examination
Scold!
The blade of the sword was fierce and murderous, but it stopped suddenly when it was only a centimeter away from Natsuki's neck, causing Natsuki's body to shake and freeze in place.
Goodo......
"Uh, that...... Sir, what are you? ”
After a while, Xia Mu swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and finally held back such a sentence from his throat.
"It's routine, don't care, let's go inside."
Cheng Hunt's tone was flat and indifferent, and the piece of sword in his hand instantly disintegrated into wisps of data and disappeared without a trace.
"Ah...... Good! ”
Natsuki nodded, and hurriedly continued to lead the way, while also breathing a sigh of relief in his heart.
The reason why he suppressed the movement of his fingers just now was that he didn't want to expose his ability, and second, he was sure that the person in front of him would not really kill him.
If it were someone else, he would not dare to gamble on the contempt of the guys in the upper city for the residents of the lower city, and he would definitely fight back directly.
Because this matter involves "natural disasters", if they can force out the real target at the cost of slaughtering the low-level fallers in the entire lower city of Heavy Star City, the guys above must be very happy.
But this one is different, Natsuki knows this person's past, and at the same time knows some secrets that most people don't know, so he dares to take risks.
Of course, even if he loses the bet, he is sure to protect himself, and the "magic of time" he has just obtained is Alkaya's strongest life-saving ability...... Not one of them!
"Sir, please take a seat, I'll pour a glass of water, wait a minute."
"No, I'm in a hurry, ask a few questions and leave, you can answer well."
"Oh, okay, okay!"
Seeing that the other party was so direct, Xia Mu stopped doing superfluous things, and quickly sat down, looking well-behaved.
He knows the way the bureau behaves very well, and as long as he cooperates well, there will generally be no problem.
"Let me ask you, what were you doing when that weird talk came up last night?"
After Natsuki sat down, Nariki asked directly, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his sharp gaze pierced Natsuki's eyeballs.
"Last Night......
As the "old fritter" in Xiacheng District, Xia Mu didn't show too much nervousness, just thought about it naturally, and then immediately replied:
"I just finished making a list last night, and I was going to go to the No. 36 night market for some supper, but before I arrived, I saw a strange talk there, I guess it was at least 'different-level', and I definitely couldn't handle it, so I quickly slipped away."
He was telling the truth, and it was also the situation that had been captured on the surveillance screen, and even the polygraph program in the prosthetic eye could not detect any problems, so Narikari nodded and continued:
"Well, what did you do after you slipped away?"
"After slipping away...... Not long after I ran out, I saw the dark barrier and knew the gravity of the matter, so I thought I should run away......
Soon after, I received a 'recruitment notice', but you should also know that I was a D-class with the tail of a crane, and I usually had to deal with some 'mortal-level weird talk' to make a living, so I didn't dare to accept this recruitment order. ”
It's the same truth, but it's just that some details are hidden, but it picks itself out in disguise.
Natsuki never mentions that he escaped from the regular field, but his statement could easily lead people to mistake him for luck and escaped just before the field was formed.
"Hmmm......"
According to the information from the polygraph program, Narikari nodded again, and he didn't think that the guy at the end of the crane in front of him would be a hidden S-class.
In fact, after seeing Natsuki appear in the surveillance, he had already called up Natsuki's complete information from the database......
Although this guy seems to have a good mind, he is still only D-class after seven years, indicating that the world he fell in has little potential.
This is also a problem common to the vast majority of downtown fallers.
"Okay, that last question...... Who is that person in your bedroom? ”
As early as when Natsuki opened the door, Narikari roughly scanned the office, and the interior of the office naturally couldn't be shielded for scanning, and he immediately found the girl lying in the bedroom.
"In the bedroom? Oh, she's ......"
"Ahem, ahem! Ahem...... Brother, who's coming? ”
Just as Natsuki was about to answer, Sosivia walked out with her clothes draped and coughing.
Seeing the girl who suddenly appeared, Narikari narrowed his eyes, and his face was full of scrutiny......
A hint of surprise flashed in Natsuki's eyes, but he quickly understood Sosvia's intentions.
There is no record of himself living with Starry Night in the Federation's database, and his own statement alone is not enough to completely convince Nariga.
But with the personal appearance of "Starry Night" himself, things are different, as long as the cooperation is good enough, the other party basically can't find the flaw.
"That...... Sir, let me introduce you to this is my sister 'Starry Night', of course, not my own, but I picked it up......
Starry Night, this is the head of the processing bureau, who came to inquire about the situation last night, you go back and lie down, don't worry. ”
Natsuki reacted quickly, and still didn't lie, Soxivia was indeed picked up by him, but ...... It was at the time of Al Caya.
It is true that he has always regarded Soxivia as his sister, don't look at her now she only looks sixteen or seventeen, but this is because the witch's body will not change after she grows to a fixed age, in fact, she is only one year younger than Xia Mu.
"Starry Night......"
Through the prosthetic eye, Narikari has found out the data about the "Starry Night", which is indeed comparable to the girl in front of him.
At the same time, he did not detect the gloovirus in the girl, indicating that she really has no problem.
"So...... Is it a 'dust disease'? ”
After confirming all the information, Narigari glanced at Natsuki and asked lightly, but there was still no expression on his face.
"Hehe......"
Natsuki didn't answer, didn't even nod or shake his head, just showed a helpless face...... and distress.
"Brother Xia Mu is very good, he not only saved me, but also helped me heal!"
At this time, Sosivia came with an assist, and then coughed violently:
"Ahem, ahem, ahem!"
"Okay Starry Night, you hurry back and lie down, your body is not good!"
Seeing this, Xia Mu quickly stood up and forcibly took Soxivia back to the bedroom, and did not walk out again until she covered the quilt, with an apologetic face on her face.
"I'm sorry, sir......"
"Okay, there's no problem, I'm in a hurry, I don't need to send it."
Without waiting for Natsuki to say anything more, Narikari stood up directly and walked straight towards the door.
It's just that when he walked to the gate, he suddenly stopped, seemed to hesitate, and then turned his head:
"If you have enough money, you can come to me, the medicine for dust disease is not easy to buy in Downtown, but it is still very simple for me."
With that, he reached out and tapped on his temple, and an encrypted number was instantly sent to Natsuki's star ring.
"This number can be used to contact me once, and then it will be invalid, and you will call me when you have enough money, and I won't help you anything else, remember."
As soon as the words fell, Narikari's figure disappeared into the doorway, rushing towards the next target.
And what about Natsuki?
After confirming that the other party was really gone, he suddenly narrowed his eyes and showed a playful expression......
