Chapter 4: Detecting Thoughts

As roommates in the same dormitory, the river demon in Pagoda Town just took over the task and shared it with the Heavenly King Gaidi Tiger (warrior monk), Touching shrimp and clams (mage), talking at noon (mutant fighter), and who can't fly (archaeologist).

No more, no less, exactly five people.

During the investigation, he came to the Cormorant Tavern by the sea, and as soon as he entered the door, the non-flying non-flying archaeologist who was a poet by profession passed the inspection and saw through the two pirates were red.

So they listened patiently for a long time, and only when the two decided to gather men to sneak in and raid the Eight Kings caravan during the docking, they swarmed up and took it on the spot.

Immediately, after knocking out the two of them, he brought them back to the equipment transformation shop, and easily interrogated the information of the Black Sail Pirates' lair, ships, manpower, number of professionals, and the purpose of coming to Flower Harbor under the money offensive.

Later, when Chen Zhou, who had been playing ice sculptures in his new home for an afternoon, came over to pick up the seeds of the cold-resistant shrub.

The five players were found to have stripped off their coats, formed a circle, tied the two pirates to their chairs, and danced an indescribable dance around them.

Neurotic! Have you completely let yourself go since you came to this world!?

He thought he had made a mistake, so he deliberately closed the door and went around to confirm that this was indeed his own transformation shop.

When the door was opened again, the five neuropaths had already dressed as fast as they had ever lived, and were sitting precariously waiting for him to arrive.

"Did you just perform some strange ritual?"

Chen Zhou, who was only a college student himself, had never heard of the interrogation method of taking off his coat and dancing around the captive, and it could only be attributed to the ritual magic of one of the spellcasters.

"Uh...... Yes, we are in ...... Psychic assault on captives, yes that's it! ”

Gradually, the pagoda found a reason to convince himself: "Although we have judged a lot of things, we are not sure whether they are true or false, so we use mental attacks to put them in a trance, and then ask the same question to make sure that it is true." ”

In fact, it's an activity in the dormitory when the whole person is tidying up, such as tossing the worst person in KDA after qualifying.

I thought it would be okay to lock the door, but the five neuropaths ignored one problem - this house was not their dorm.

"Maybe it will really work? Why do I think that?"

"Okay, don't lie to me, don't lie to yourself, next time I'm going to play at my own home."

"Yes, yes, yes." "You're right." "No more trouble next time."

The five of them turned their heads to the ground as if they had been grabbed by the dormitory manager, completely embarrassed to look at them.

However, judging from the posture of peeking at each other, it has changed but not completely changed, and I am afraid that I will continue to toss next time.

But that doesn't have anything to do with him anymore.

"So, what exactly did you come up with?"

The five of them, you look at me, I look at you, and finally the pagoda told the information that Harat, the leader of the Black Sail Pirates, fell in love with aquatic products and searched for the heart of the hilly dwarven treasure furnace at the request of the other party.

After listening to their descriptions, Jerry was a little unimpressed.

"Good at playing and singing? It doesn't have to be a merfolk, it could be a siren, a siren, or something else, and illusions or shapeshifts can change their form."

"Considering that the Black Sail Pirates seem to have some kind of attachment to merfolk, it is a natural advantage to negotiate with them like this."

The Merfolk are most famous for their singing voices, and the Merfolk who are close to the Pirate King are equally adept at other instruments, which is obviously unusual - most of them cannot be used underwater.

"I see, thank you for your help. This information is useful to me, so let me interrogate them myself. ”

The employer spoke, and the pagoda and the others happily left the room with a thousand experience and transformation discount coupons per person.

The side quest was still not over, and only a fifth of the reward had been handed out, and they were thinking about going out again to find out more about the movements of the Black Sail Pirates.

And then...... Of course, I'm looking for an opportunity to see if there are any tasks that can be done or achievements that can be brushed over there.

And after everyone left, the two who were originally tied to the chair in a trance suddenly realized that they had fallen into the hands of the tiger man, and they were immediately full of fear.

They bet their lives that the other party's interrogation would never be as safe as those five retarded minds!

"Wait! Wait a minute! Master Warlock, if you don't do it, we'll say everything! ”

"Yes, yes, we'll say whatever you ask!"

Chen Zhou obviously didn't eat this, and directly used wild arcane magic to cast the "Detection Mind".

A 2-ring arcane technique that identifies the number of individuals with thoughts in the vicinity, as well as the apparent thoughts of all individuals within range.

Strong willpower was able to exempt from this spell, but the two pirates, whose spirits had already been shattered, were completely incapable of resisting.

"I really want to eat duck neck......

Rats and rats, even the superficial thoughts are to eat and eat.

"You can telepathize yourself, just tell me directly?"

"I'm called well-behaved and sensible!"

Ignoring Jerry's protests, Chen Zhou, who planned to buy it later, looked at the pirate who was worried about whether he would die at the moment.

"I asked, and you answered. I won't kill you, but I'll send you to the guards when I've learned everything I want to know. ”

Hearing this, the two of them immediately fell into an ice cave, which was even more terrifying than killing them!

Most cities would hang captured pirates, a long and painful punishment.

The victim will be hit both physically and mentally, and eventually slowly enter death in hypoxic suffocation.

Rather than that, they would rather have the adventurer killed.

But Chen Zhou didn't care about this, he was not obliged to be considerate of the pirates' feelings.

If he understands the feelings of pirates, who will sympathize with those who have been robbed and killed by them?

In the midst of their anguish and despair, he and Jerry interrogated most of the information they wanted to know.

This includes important information about the leader of the Black Sail Pirates, who is actually in charge, the status of the professionals, their strongholds and hideouts, the number of personnel on the ships, the stockpiles of weapons and supplies, and who they have cooperative relations with.

In the end, he judged that the information they knew in their minds was not misinformation that had been fed into them.

Rather than seeing the Blacksail Pirates as a gang of lawless people at sea, it is more of a professional army under the guise of pirates.

They do not have benefactors from secular countries or organizations, and maintain friendly relations with some aquatic races, such as the Koutao Fishmen, Sawa Fishmen, and Aquatic Ogres.

It will trade with them through land supplies such as slaves, and exchange information to attack people, ships, and towns......

Harat, the leader of the pirates, had great ambitions and plans, and even had the intention of establishing his own organization and regime on the sea.

In addition to the information about the Black Sail Pirates, Chen Zhou also used the detection mind to obtain an extremely crucial piece of information - they planned to attack the Flower Harbor with the Kou Tao Fishmen this month!
