Chapter 676: Chapter 186: Xu Shu’s Nine Questions (6K Words for Monthly Pass)_2
“You!” Deacon Yu’s legs clamped together, his face turning green.
Xu Shu had picked soone with a fat head this ti, a head one size larger than the person before. If that head had made it in, he surely couldn’t have withstood it.
The mber of the White Emperor Army he held was screaming frantically, struggling: “Boss, save ! Boss, save I don’t want to die ahhhh!”
However, no amount of arm twisting could surpass the strength of a thigh, and with his strength, how could he possibly compare to Xu Shu?
Xu Shu pushed with his hand, aiming the guy’s head towards Deacon Yu to make him a new ghost beneath Deacon Yu’s crotch.
“Hold on, I’ll confess everything!” Deacon Yu said.
“That’s more like it,” Xu Shu dropped the White Emperor Army mber, who seed as if his soul had fled in terror.
He took paper and pen and wrote quite formally:
“Today, the sword catcher of the Astronomy Association, Investigation Officer Xu Shu of the Judgent Departnt, hereby swears! In this interrogation, I seek only information and will not actively harm anyone’s life! Should I break this oath, may I never recover from the disaster! If anyone does not tell the truth, may they be struck by lightning! Lie Zhenzi above, bear witness!”
After writing, he pressed a bloody handprint on the paper and showed it to everyone:
“Don’t say I am bullying you. Next, I ask, and you answer. If you honestly confess the information I want to know, I naturally will let you all leave here according to the agreent! A man of his word, one spit one nail, what’s said is absolutely binding!”
“But! I will only ask once, and you can only answer once! If anyone dares to conceal purposefully, or to maliciously lie, hey, my knife isn’t vegetarian.”
After speaking, Xu Shu with a smack shattered a load-bearing column, displaying sufficient martial power.
Cai Qijun and Deacon Yu and others stared blankly at Xu Shu, not understanding the purpose of his actions for a mont.
This scoundrel obviously had such strange and dangerous thods enough for interrogation, why then did he need to swear an oath to restrain himself?
Moreover, it was just a piece of paper… it didn’t hold any power.
But no matter what, Xu Shu’s actions still reassured these people.
Even if they were individuals involved with a cult, when it ca to Lie Zhenzi, they wouldn’t dare to be disrespectful, let alone a text contract with a blood handprint. They said they felt it wasn’t a big deal, but when it really ca to violating it, they truly did not dare.
Looking at it this way, as long as they answered the questions truthfully, this guy really would let them go…
The people looked at each other, and one by one, pressed their bloody handprints onto the contract.
After completing the preliminary work, Xu Shu had them stand one by one in a big circle, back to back like a spider’s web.
He organized his thoughts, then took another piece of paper, listing the questions he wanted answers to, to avoid forgetting them later, and to cross-examine them one by one.
The first question, “Who sent you here?”
The answers to this question were different.
Cai Qijun’s side was following orders from their superiors, but he didn’t know who the superiors were. In the Salvation Army, superiors contacted subordinates only with military orders called “Tiger Talismans.” The subordinates didn’t know their superiors’ identities; they only recognized the talisman, not the person.
Deacon Yu said he received an order from an elder in his own organization nad “Silver Fire Dragon.”
Xu Shu turned on the Promotion Drive and went online to find several posts that cataloged “list of the powerful,” gaining more understanding.
Silver Fire Dragon, real na unknown, ranked 105th on the Earthly List, a new demigod who had entered the list just a year ago, nicknad “Swallowing Gold and Spitting Silver.”
So it seed, this “Silver Fire Dragon” was actually a Destroyer of the Star Group.
Xu Shu nodded, jotting down the information, involving
a fighter from the Earthly List…
The difference between the Star Group and the Salvation Army was that the Salvation Army had always been a very positive character. So they acted covertly, not daring to show their true faces;
While the Star Group had always been a target for criticism, their actions mostly erratic and perverse, bringing calamity to the people, belonging to an Esoteric Buddhism-style organization, they were quite open, wishing the whole world knew who they were.
Xu Shu’s second question was: “What is the plan for the day after tomorrow?”
This question didn’t yield a very precise answer.
Because they all said: They only knew it was a critical plan, very secretive, but didn’t know the specifics of the plan, only vaguely guessing it might be to attack a certain place, which would surely provoke a strong suppression by the Astronomy Association.
Thus, all of them, by latest tomorrow during the day, would withdraw from the safe zone, to avoid being involved in the calamity.
As for more, they didn’t know, they were just fulfilling their superiors’ orders, there for the promised benefits.
Xu Shu believed they probably hadn’t concealed anything, this group’s strength wasn’t very high, they might not have access to sufficiently deep secrets.
He imdiately took the opportunity to pose the third question: “Who is going to carry out this plan?”
This question got two answers.
People from the White Emperor Army said the person who promised them benefits was nad “Alynad.”
Deacon Yu, however, said the person who promised him benefits was “Rashaim.”
Afraid Xu Shu might not believe them, they also emphasized that they definitely hadn’t lied.
Xu Shu pondered for a mont and asked the fourth question: “Are they Chosen Ones?”
Both n were shocked: “Could it be you also are…”
Xu Shu gave a sly smile: “I’ve killed a few; their nas are all quite similar, easy to recognize.”
Cai Qijun and Deacon Yu bowed their heads; they didn’t expect that the person before them was a fierce man who could kill a Chosen One. Their downfall wasn’t unjust.
While Xu Shu appeared calm on the surface, inside he was sowhat tense.
These two were Chosen Ones. The Heroic Society had ntioned a Chosen One nad “Sarquis,” and the Archbishop, having recovered, was already pursuing the individual throughout the city.
