Chapter 67
Qi Leren was a little anxious.
After entering the court house, he was taken to an underground room with unidirectional glass on all sides. The people outside could see the inside clearly, but the people inside could only see the black glass walls on all sides.
He sat in the interrogation chair, and there was only one chair opposite to it behind a table, which was so clean that there was not even a trace of dust.
Al also disappeared, and Qi Leren was the only one sitting in the interrogation room devoid of privacy, waiting anxiously. In the interrogation room, there was silence, one could only hear his own breathing, and the cold from the ground climbed all the way up from the soles of his feet. It didnt take long for Qi Leren to feel cold and have stiff hands and feet.
Qi Leren felt that someone was constantly looking at him behind the one-way glass, which was the kind of examining look that abandoned respect for human beings, and weighed him with the eyes one used when evaluating goods. He stared back unhappily. Although he could only see pure darkness through the glass, he stared back intuitively.
Oh, this guys intuition is very sharp. Does he have extrasensory talents? a girl with black-rimmed glasses said as she pushed them further up her nose.
Al stood by with his arm crossed: Miao Li, talk scientifically.
Miao Li curled her lips disapprovingly: Science cant explain everything. In the Nightmare World, you should have thrown away such useless things as science. Otherwise, how can you explain such things as power-ups, skill cards, and survival days? Oh, and that demon crystal. I still dont understand what supernatural energy it is. The Europeans magnetic stones of Atlantis sound* more scientific than the demon crystal. But you cant deny that the science and technology of the Nightmare World is based on devil crystallization, otherwise things could only be like medieval Europe now. There is also the seed of slaughter. Is this a plant or an animal? Or is it simply a new category beyond the existing species classification, such as the demon species? Anyway, we are far away from science, right, Boss?
{*E/N: referring to Platos claims that the people of Atlantis had stones that enabled telepathy}
The long-haired man took his cold eyes back from Qi Leren and said coldly, "Cancel Plan A and enable Plan B, just let the long line catch the big fish*.
{*E/N: A long-term plan seeking a large reward}
But Boss Miao Li wanted to argue about something, but suppressed it when the man turned his gaze onto her. Well, I see. Then the one responsible for training him
Its up to you and Al. The long-haired man turned to leave.
Boss, one more thing Al stopped him. He looked back and arched his eyebrows impatiently to signal him to continue.
Al has obviously felt his impatience. It was better to talk quickly to a boss with poor patience, so he said simply and neatly: Listening to the passengers on the aircraft, Qi Leren should have some resurrection skills. When he fought with the parasitized player, he was resurrected twice in a row.
Let Miao Li ask everything clearly. After that, the long-haired man, lazily looking at the interrogation room, took his long legs and left the cold basement.
Miao Li spread her hand: If the lady said so, then Ill go in.
Al glanced at her, and there seemed to be some warning in his eyes.
Well, I know, thats just what I call him behind his back. Who asked him to have a ladys temper. Mao Li laughed and opened the door of the interrogation room.
Qi Leren raised his head at the sound of the door opening, and a young woman with black-rimmed glasses came in. She smiled politely at Qi Leren, put down the notebook and pen in her arms, and pulled out her chair to sit down.
Hello Qi Leren, my name is Miao Li, an executive officer of the court. I know that you have a lot of confusion about why youve come here. After all, Al who brought you here isnt a person whos good at communicating with people, but you have to believe that we are trying our best to ensure your personal safety. Miao Li smiled at him, leaving no room for him to speak. Lets get started.
Qi Leren thought for a moment and chose to cooperate.
Name.
Qi Leren.
Age.
Twenty five.
Time since you entered the Nightmare World.
Ten-plus days.
Miao Li stopped her pen, looked up at him, and said with great interest, You are the coolest newcomer Ive ever seen.
Suddenly praised by the opposite sex, Qi Leren was a little embarrassed, and his anxiety eased for the first time since court house: Thank you.
Im serious. I think about my stupid appearance when I first came in. Haha, as a newcomer, you have performed very well. You could escape from a person infected by a seed of slaughter and even use the terrains characteristics to kill him. Very good, Im very optimistic about you. Miao Lis sincere smile made it so that Qi Leren couldnt help believing her words.
She continued to ask, and learned about what happened on the airship from beginning to end. Qi Leren didnt want to explain his skills, but he also knew that there were so many people on the airship who saw him using the S/L skill, so it was impossible to hide this skill card. Fortunately, this was a bound skill, which relieved him a lot.
What reassured him most was that Miao Li didnt show any special interest in his skills. She seemed to admire his good luck politely: This skill is really good, and its suitable for catching the enemy by surprise. After all, people will subconsciously relax their vigilance after theyre sure theyve killed their opponents.
Qi Leren smiled shyly and said nothing.
After learning about the matter, Miao Li closed the notebook, looked up at Qi Leren and said, I think you must have a lot of questions to ask me now. Ill ease your doubts to the degree that Im able to answer.
What is the seed of slaughter? Qi Leren immediately asked. That parasitic thing in the back of his neck disturbed him greatly. Seeing that someone was willing to answer the full of his questions, he asked without thinking.
Ah, its a complicated problem. I could talk about it for three days and three nights to explain it in detail, but I cant disclose to you some confidential aspects of the Trials Office. To put it simply, the seed of slaughter is something the Devil of Massacre gives to his followers. The parasite, when in the human body, will enhance the potential of the body in a short time, which will significantly strengthen various abilities such as strength, agility and reaction. But this kind of power-up is not without cost. You should have seen its side effects. Miao Li twirled her pen and watched Qi Lerens reaction silently.
Qi Lerens fingers moved as he listened carefully.
As you have seen on the airship, the kind of killing will gradually affect peoples sanity, and while strengthening their abilities, they will constantly lose their reason as human beings. The stronger they are, the crazier they will become. Once they cant grasp the boundary between power and sanity, they cant suppress anymore Miao Li pushed the black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of the nose and smiled a little meaningfully. Everything is over, and it is irrevocably over.
Qi Leren swallowed saliva and his throat was dry: But why
Miao Li understood what he didnt say: Let me show you something.
She took off a ring from her middle finger and put it in front of Qi Leren. At this time, he discovered that it was not a plain ring, but she turned it in her hand so the gem was facing her and he could only see the band.
The ring was then moved to face Qi Leren, and the silvery white gem was filled with black mist, which changed in different shapes like a burning flame.
I can see when it senses evil forces around it, and the kind of killing ability in you is no exception. Miao Li took the ring back and put it back on her finger. Where did I stop just now? Oh, yes, speaking of parasitism. There is a certain probability that the seed of slaughter after its outbreak will be sown into nearby people, just like dandelion seeds blown away by the wind take root in suitable soil, but the probability isnt high. Al was waiting at the landing dock of the airship, and only you were infected among the confirmed passengers. Generally speaking, the spread of seeds of slaughter requires a ceremony between the original host and the new host. The original host introduces new people to join the Devil of Slaughters camp, just like mature plants spreading seeds, spreading and spreading Believe it or not, for many players, mere survival consumes all of their willpower. Even if they know that its to sate an unquenchable thirst, theyll choose to take the initiative rather than be killed.
Miao Lis mouth held a mocking smile, and her eyes behind the lenses were cold: There are so many ordinary, cowardly, and incompetent people.
Qi Leren recalled the tragedy on the airship. Before this, he hadnt been able to figure out why he had still been parasitized after using his S/L skill. Now it seems that he was sown with the seed of slaughter before hed made his save point. Just like being in the same room with a flu patient, some people will not be infected, but some people will be infected. Although the probability was very low, he still got caught. His luck was really hopeless.
How can we get rid of this kind of thing? Qi Leren asked.
Miao Li turned the ring on her hand and said regretfully, Im afraid its not easy.
But there is still a way, right? Qi Leren asked with absolute certainty.
Miao Li looked into his eyes deeply, and the lenses reflected a bright light under the pale light overhead, which made Qi Leren unable to see her eyes clearly.
Yes, but it depends on your determination and sincerity. Are you prepared? Mao Li asked, smiling.
What preparation should I make? Qi Leren was nervous, and he felt subtly that it would not be a pleasant decision.
Miao Li leaned forward slightly, her chin resting in her overlapping hands, and looked at Qi Leren who tried to hide his emotions. She seemed to find his reaction interesting, just like a researcher who observed creatures in a Petri dish. She showed her own interest without any disguise, and it was unpleasant.
