Chapter 523 Response
Chapter 523 Response
"What did you say? Prince Andre killed all the royal family?!!!"
Just as Prince Andre carried the incubator, got on the carriage and left the palace, Leon and others on the other side also completed the preliminary "interrogation" of Filia.
After learning about the current situation of the Korok royal family from the emerald-eyed girl, several cleaners from the Scorpio branch, both alive and dead, were all shocked. Even Leon couldn't help but shrink his pupils.
Although he had some vague guesses about what happened to the Crook royal family, Lyon still couldn't help but be slightly shocked when he got the personal confirmation from one of the "parties involved".
You know, the first goal of this investigation mission is to ensure the continuation of the royal bloodline of the Korok Kingdom. At present, in the entire Korok royal family, the only two people who can be called "living people" are the murderer Prince Andre, except for the strange little girl in front of him.
This is really...
After subconsciously shaking his head slightly, Leon waved his hand to signal Alger and the others to calm down, and then continued to ask:
"What happened to you? Why did he kill all the royal family members but leave you alone?"
"I... maybe because I'm his sister?"
Feeling that if she told others that she was Atefy 01, she would suffer a more tragic fate. The emerald-eyed girl could only sniff and lie with tears in her eyes:
"Brother Andre still values family affection very much, so to me... Hey! Don't! Don't! Ahaha! Ahahahaha! Don't!"
"I remind you again, it's useless to tell lies in front of me."
Holding a handful of freshly plucked wool and scratching the white and tender soles of Felia's feet, Leon said seriously:
"You'd better tell me the truth. Why didn't he kill you? And what happened to your soul?"
"I……"
After trying hard to kick her legs twice, she still couldn’t get rid of Leon’s grip. Feliya closed her eyes in despair and shouted as if she had given it her all:
"I won't tell you! Even if... Ouch! Ahahaha! Ahahahaha!"
Seeing that she had become tough and refused to confess, Leon continued to scratch her.
As one of the great demons, the black goat has fallen on hard times, but the quality of its wool is still top-notch, light, smooth, soft and dense, far superior to ordinary wool, and is extremely effective in tickling the soles of the feet.
Before Leon could scratch her a few times, Filia, who was suffering from such "torture", screamed twice, and her toes, like scallion segments, curled up desperately, squeezing out tiny horizontal wrinkles on the white soles of her feet.
The whole person was like a little frog with its belly facing upwards, kicking with its two white legs, trying desperately to retreat, but her strength was too weak to break free from Leon's iron-like grip. She could only laugh and cry:
“You… go ahead and scratch me! Even if I’m dying of itchiness… I won’t… ahahaha! I won’t tell you! You… don’t even think about it… wuwuwu… don’t even know… ahahaha!”
Still pretty tough...
After scratching for seven or eight minutes, seeing that the little face was covered with sweat, and the sideburns and bangs were soaked with sweat, sticking to the forehead in strands, but Filia was still holding on and not speaking, Leon felt that the problem could not be solved for a while, so he had to temporarily give up this method of forcing a confession and turned to look at the other cleaners.
"Seniors, do you have any other ways to make her speak?"
"Well... we do have a way to make people talk, but it shouldn't be suitable for her..."
After looking at each other, several cleaners from the Scorpio Branch shook their heads one after another and replied helplessly:
"She is a member of the Korok royal family after all, and she is still a child. Our methods are too cruel, and her body can't withstand it. Moreover, her soul is also... special. It seems to have its own set of rules. We don't know how to deal with it."
So you still can't help at all?
After getting the answer, Leon opened his mouth, sighed and said nothing, but it seemed like he said everything.
Feeling a little embarrassed by his sigh, several senior cleaners from the Scorpio Branch exchanged glances, and then Reuben suggested:
"How about this, since you can tell whether what she said is a lie or not, let's try to guess as much as possible. As long as the guesses are almost right, her soul will definitely react. In this way, we can know the reason without her saying anything." "The question is how to guess?"
Lyon spread his hands and said:
"It's not impossible to do this, but we need to ask questions first to know whether the result is right or wrong. However, we have too little information now. We don't even know how to ask questions. There is no way to ask at all."
"This……"
After hearing this, the people from the Scorpio Branch also fell silent. After a while, the female cleaner Mona seemed to have thought of something and suggested hesitantly:
"If the problem is insufficient intelligence, how about we raid the archives in Administrative District 3? There are a lot of important information about the Kingdom of Korok stored there, which might give us some inspiration."
"That's a good suggestion... Let's go! The car is coming."
Leon nodded upon hearing this, and without any hesitation, he knocked out the emerald-eyed girl who was glaring at him, carried her barefoot on his shoulders, and walked towards the station on the street.
“We have been delayed long enough. Senior Reuben’s ability has expired. We must now rush to the embassy district to pick up people. My companions who stayed there have a way to find the palace.
After we pick him up, we will kidnap the Minister of Foreign Affairs and look for the information of the scholar in District 1 to see if we can find District 1 through him, and then find the real body of Atifi 01. Besides, the archives are also in Administrative District 3, so we can do these three things at the same time!"
……
The next day.
"Dear citizens of the Kingdom of Korok, it's time for the morning news."
Just as the sun passed over the neat skyline and cast its rays on the land of the Kingdom of Korok, the sweet voice of the announcer came from the metal speakers in the streets and alleys.
"Yesterday, an attack occurred in Administrative District 38. A group of vagrant criminals from the Kingdom of Alesund detonated homemade dangerous weapons. The impact of the explosion caused the destruction of most of Administrative District 38.
In Military Industrial Zone No. 38 and Production Zone No. 2 adjacent to Administrative Zone No. 9, a large number of houses collapsed due to the shock of the explosion, and more than citizens were injured.
Fortunately, no one died in the incident, and the main members of the criminal gang have all been arrested or shot dead. The three blocks damaged in the attack will be reopened within 15 days..."
"Tsk... so noisy..."
Awakened by the broadcast content coming from outside the window, a man with messy hair and beard muttered twice, then climbed out of the bed with an unhappy look on his face, took off the scholar's robe hanging on the hanger beside the bed, and put it on hastily, while the sweet broadcast sound outside the window continued.
"In addition, another group of roving criminals attacked District 3 a little later.
The criminals broke into the embassy, kidnapped the foreign minister, ransacked his office, and then raided the archives, stealing a large number of precious files, whose whereabouts are now unknown. Citizens, please be careful when traveling.
The specific appearance of the criminal gang is as follows: there are two main members, the main culprit is a young man with black hair and black eyes, handsome, well-proportioned but slightly thin..."
My goodness, there are two attacks in one day. It's been really chaotic recently...
After listening to the report, the unkempt middle-aged man shook his head, then picked up a razor and started to trim his beard in front of the mirror.
Fortunately, I am a scholar in Area 1 and I am walking through an exclusive passage that is not open to the public, so it is unlikely that I will encounter any crime... Uh... What the hell is this?
Looking at the man smiling at him in the mirror, the middle-aged man's mind went blank and his eyes suddenly widened.
What the hell, I'm clearly looking in the mirror, why is the person in the mirror not me, but a young man with black hair and black eyes? Hmm... a young man with black hair and black eyes... why does he feel a little familiar?
