Chapter 63: 55. Fake Potion Vomiting (2 in 1)
Translator: 549690339
The potion nad “Soul Interrogation Potion” was forcefully poured into Noland Lee’s mouth by Pim.
The bitter taste instantly exploded in Noland’s mouth.
A coolness rose from his mouth, rushing straight to his forehead, feeling as refreshing as if he’d chugged an entire bottle of Fragrant Positive Energy Water.
A system ssage appeared in Noland’s mind.
[Warning! You have been forced to ingest a “Soul Interrogation Potion”.]
[You have acquired a negative effect:]
[Soul Interrogation, lasting for 1 minute.]
[During the duration of this effect, you will involuntarily answer truthfully to the questions posed, and you will be unable to retain any mories from the potion’s duration.]
[System Reminder: your “Soul Shield” can effectively resist the effects of the “Soul Interrogation Potion”. As long as you use the “Soul Shield” to protect yourself, during the shield’s duration, you can provide incorrect answers and not lose any mories related to the conversation.]
Only Noland himself knew how intense his emotions were just now.
Just hearing the words “interrogation potion,” his heart trembled, thinking that it was sothing similar to a truth serum.
But on careful consideration of the potion’s na—
—wasn’t the “Soul Interrogation Potion” specifically targeting the soul!
Then the skill “Soul Shield” was a perfect match for it!
As expected, the system ssage confird Noland’s guess.
In that instant, the burden on Noland’s heart vanished entirely.
In his mind, an alternative plan he had already thought of appeared.
While Noland was recalling the details of the plan, the “Soul Interrogation Potion” began to take effect.
Noland felt his body beco weightless, as if he were floating in the air.
His head was heavy and muddled, with various thoughts crashing around in his mind.
He wanted to blurt out everything in his heart but didn’t know where to begin, desperately needing soone to provide a topic for him.
Pim’s voice sounded in his ear:
“Sin Soldier No. 888, tell honestly, what happened between you and Sergeant Piggs?”
Noland barely managed to maintain his final clarity under the foggy circumstances.
In his mind, he quickly sketched out the blueprint for the “Soul Shield” spell, completing the casting preparations within 1 second.
[System ssage: You consu 0.1 point of Soul Strength and 1 point of
Energy to cast “Soul Shield”. For the next 30 seconds, the effects of the “Soul Interrogation Potion” will be blocked, and you can answer questions with false responses.]
The “Soul Shield” had no outward manifestation, no spell animation, and no light or shadow. It only nullified the truth-telling effect and wouldn’t dispel Noland’s confused expression and muddled thoughts.
So Noland’s expression and facial movents remained unchanged as the potion took effect.
Pim never realized that the “Soul Interrogation Potion” he used had already been broken by the sinner before him.
Noland was delighted, but he didn’t let it show. Instead, he calmly considered his course of action.
Pim, that treacherous fellow, had repeatedly taken advantage of his rank and status to bully Noland. He must be dealt with quickly, and without hesitation, to avoid more trouble later on.
While he didn’t have powerful strength yet, the only ans to deal with Pim was by using the Sword Shark People.
As soone who had already seen through part of the truth, Noland quickly ca up with a plan to eliminate Sergeant Pim using Captain Murphy’s help.
He couldn’t help but thank Pim for providing the potion.
Noland’s lies would undoubtedly be taken as the truth by Pim.
Pim would then follow his lead step by step, falling into the fatal trap Noland had laid.
Heh heh heh-
After Noland had thought about it, he finally spoke.
His voice was hoarse, eyes unfocused, and he appeared completely dazed. He spoke haltingly, like soone experiencing a blackout from drinking too much.
“Sergeant Piggs dragged into the Undead Pile, but strangely, we weren’t attacked by the undead.
“Sergeant Piggs said it was the amulet he carried that protected us.
“Sergeant Piggs tempted with money, alcohol, and won, wanting to beco a spy for the Death Herald Guild within the Imperial Army.
Pim raised his hands, pulling down his rolled-up sleeves and fastening the cuffs.
He returned to his desk, tidied the bottles and jars on it while listening to Noland’s account of the situation.
“What happened later? Keep going, Sin Soldier 888.”
“I refused Sergeant Piggs. Although I am just a Sin Soldier, I will never beco a traitor. The Empire is my mother, and I will never betray her. I will protect the Empire like I protect my own mother…”
Seeing Noland go off-topic, Pim stopped his actions and growled:
“Stop talking nonsense! I’m asking you how Sergeant Piggs died and where his amulet is now.”
Noland continued in his mumbled voice:
“Sergeant Piggs beca furious and tried to push into the Undead Pile. But then, a mysterious stranger suddenly appeared beside us.”
A glass bottle slipped from Pim’s hand, rolling around on the tabletop.
It was only when the glass bottle was about to slide off the edge that Pim ca back to his senses and hurriedly stopped it..
