Chapter 127 Ordinary People
Chapter 127 Ordinary People
[Obtained the usable abnormal object "Blood-stained Epidemic Belt", and the hidden feature of the colored badge "Materialistic Soul (Red)" was activated]
[Materialistic Soul (different color, red, cannot be upgraded): ...]
【Wearing effect: ……】
[Advanced route: ...]
[Hidden Features: Badge Slots +3, Current Number of Slots: 6, Total Number of Anomalies Required to Open the Next Slot: 8]
[Your Infiltration Value Increased]
[Current infection value: 2.8]
……
There was indeed one more slot, but the number of anomalies required to open the next slot actually went from four to eight...
Looking at the instructions on the badge panel, Leon couldn't help but sigh slightly.
Including the [Infected Blood Belt] that he had just obtained through "Friendly Exchange", he currently owned a total of 4 abnormal objects, namely a sheep's head, a broom, a pendant and a bandage. It was still a long way from the next "slotting".
Although the young Ha who was sleeping soundly on the sheep's head also had his own abnormal object panel, he was not counted. It was probably because he was alive and not considered an abnormal "object", or because he was still an underage dog and was not included in the list of child laborers.
Hmm... I feel the latter is more likely.
After reaching out and stroking the short fur of the little boy, which felt very nice, Lyon looked at the child laborer who turned over and continued to sleep soundly, even snoring a little. Lyon couldn't help but chuckle, and then nodded slightly at the female prisoner who was glaring at him.
"Thank you."
"..."
Thank you mom!!!
Seeing Leon nodding politely to express his gratitude, the female prisoner whose bandage was "forcibly taken away" wanted to scold him, but she was worried that if she angered him, it would harm her companions who had worked so hard to infiltrate the Secret Investigation Bureau. In the end, she had no choice but to swallow her anger and turned her head away with gritted teeth.
demon!
This damn guy usually looks harmless, but once he takes off his disguise, he is simply a demon who plays with people's hearts!
When I get out, I will tell everyone else not to be fooled by his appearance. This guy from the Cleanup Bureau is ten times more dangerous than he looks!
"By the way, before I leave, I have a few questions for you."
After looking at the half-angry, half-fearful soul of the female prisoner, Leon, who was about to leave, hesitated for a moment, and finally asked:
"If you manage to escape from here, are you still going to continue to be a rebel?"
"???"
What does it mean? He asked what this sentence meant!
Looking at the female prisoner whose eyes suddenly froze, and whose soul began to churn even though she didn’t say a word, Leon shook his head and said:
“Although you act normal, your soul won’t lie.
There are all kinds of emotions in your soul, but the only thing missing is the fear of death. But if you are the kind of person who is completely ready to die, then when I pointed out that you have an insider in the Secret Investigation Bureau, your fear of death suddenly broke out.
So I think that your insider in the Secret Investigation Bureau should have promised to rescue you. It is precisely because of his exposure that directly determines whether you can be rescued, so you would rather hand over the bandages than let me shut up, right?"
"..."
Faced with Leon who had revealed all her secrets in less than five minutes, the female prisoner felt a chill in her heart and fell into deep despair.
"Yes! All of them are correct!!!"
Knowing that lying in front of this "devil" who could see through people's hearts was meaningless, the female prisoner simply gave up and glared at him, gritting her teeth and saying:
“Although Bobby Ryan is dead, my husband’s revenge has not yet been completed! It was not only those fat-headed nobles of the Ryan family who killed him, but also this kingdom that was rotten to the core!
Since revenge is not over yet, if I can escape, I will of course continue to be a rebel! And I will continue until I die!"
"ok, I get it."
After looking at the extremely "sincere" soul of the female prisoner, Leon couldn't help but shook his head again, and then said with a hint of apology:
"Sorry, I will catch the spy as soon as I get out."
"you?!"
After hearing what Leon said, the female prisoner couldn’t help but yelled in shock and anger:
"You just took my stuff! Damn it! You actually lied to me?"
“Well… I didn’t promise you not to catch him. I only promised you to keep your mouth shut. In the words of our director, this is called one thing at a time.” After daring to say this rather shameless thing, Leon, whose face was not yet well-trained, couldn’t help but feel a little hot on his face, and then he said with some shame:
“I’m sorry, if you only attacked important people, I wouldn’t necessarily do this, but every time you launch an attack, it affects a large number of ordinary people, and I can’t just turn a blind eye.
Moreover, both you and the director of the Secret Investigation Bureau have shown considerable interest in me. He even has great hostility towards me.
Considering the style of your gang, there is a high possibility that you will attack my family, so I must be prepared in advance.
By the way, just in case, I need to confirm that the director with the scar on his face is the spy you sent to the Secret Investigation Bureau, right?"
"I have no idea!"
After hearing Leon's question and knowing that the other party was going to start his "mind reading show" again, the female prisoner couldn't help but struggle desperately, trying to knock herself unconscious.
However, as a serious criminal in the assassination of the princess, she was handcuffed to the chair tightly and could not make any big movements. She could only pull the handcuffs on her body, making them creak.
"It seems I guessed it right."
After directly knowing the answer to the question through his soul vision, Leon continued to ask as the female prisoner stared at him with bloodshot eyes:
"Next question, does he have anything unusual in his hand?"
"I have no idea!!"
"There is an abnormal object... Is his strength weaker than yours? Or is he stronger than you?"
"I do not know!!!"
"Stronger than you? Then do you know what his ability is?"
"..."
Do you really not know this time?
After asking a few more questions from other angles and realizing that he couldn't get any more information, Leon couldn't help but sigh and stood up from his seat.
"Thank you for your cooperation. Goodbye."
"You...you are despicable! You are shameless!"
Seeing Leon playing a trick on her and shamelessly cheating her of the right to use the bandage, the female prisoner could not help but struggle desperately while roaring hysterically:
"Stop pretending to be a good person and turn a blind eye... You are just stronger than me! Do you dare to touch those who are really strong?
If you really think you are a good person, go and kill all those bastards! Damn! I feel sick just looking at people like you! You are a hypocritical bastard!"
"..."
After hearing the female prisoner's curse full of blocked words, Leon, who was about to leave the interrogation room, stopped, thought for a moment, and nodded:
"you're right."
"???"
In her somewhat confused expression, Leon sighed again and admitted directly:
“And I’m not only hypocritical, I’m even cowardly. I clearly don’t like many things, but I don’t have the courage to give up everything and change them completely.
Not only am I cowardly, but I am also awkward. I know I have no ability to manage many things, but I can't turn a blind eye to them. If I really encounter them, I always want to intervene.
Not only am I awkward, but I’m also reckless. I know that if I start to act, I’ll get into trouble and put myself in danger. I just need to endure it for a while, but I often can’t help myself…”
"I am a real failure. Sometimes I even hate myself."
"..."
Faced with Leon's unusually sincere self-analysis and listening to his self-evaluation which was even more exaggerated than her own, the female prisoner could not help but be completely stunned.
"Then you...then you..."
"I am just an ordinary person, so I only do what I can do, as for the rest..."
After looking at the glittering badges on the panel, Lyon's right hand couldn't help but clench slightly, and a hint of not-so-pure determination revealed in his eyes.
That depends on how high I can go in the end!
