Chapter 124 [The Asylum] Hysteria
"I made two mistakes."
"Two very serious mistakes."
There were no windows in the room, only a dim white light shining from the wall.
The shadow fell over the man's face, making it impossible for Commissioner Wu to see his expression.
"Of course you—"
Commissioner Wu was interrupted halfway through his sentence, and the man opposite him continued speaking on his own.
"one."
"Because of Tang Qin's influence, I overlooked what was actually in the metal box that the warehouse department escorted three days ago."
"Of course, it's also possible that its delirium and passivity affected my perception."
"What?" Commissioner Wu was taken aback.
The red-haired man ignored him, remained silent for a few seconds, and then continued:
"That's why I didn't tell the person I should have told about 'The Netherworld: Hysteria'."
Commissioner Wu's expression hardened.
Without stopping, he immediately copied down what the other person said in its entirety in his notebook.
"What is the second point?" After finishing writing, his expression shifted slightly, and he asked.
"Tang Qin ordered you to arrest me without the 'Supervision Committee's' approval, didn't she?"
The man's tone was not a question, but a statement.
He did not answer Commissioner Wu's question.
"..."
Commissioner Wu's face instantly turned cold.
"Xu Sandao".
“I have been interrogating you for 24 hours, and you have been silent 99% of the time.”
"So now you're finally willing to speak, just to say this?"
Xu Sandao smiled.
He looked up, his face appearing even paler under the incandescent light, perhaps because he hadn't slept for nearly 30 hours.
"Commissioner Wu."
"You know that if the higher-ups find out that you cooperated with Tang Qin in arbitrarily detaining and interrogating a middle-level manager in the company, the consequences will be very serious, right?"
"I don't need to know," Commissioner Wu sneered.
"Once you clearly explain how you killed Zhang Heng, I will consider this a proper interrogation."
Xu Sandao immediately chuckled, as if he had heard a funny joke.
"Big brother."
"Please inform Tang Qin that the fate of the domain hangs in the balance. Zhang Heng's incompetence is none of my business."
He paused and then said:
"Oh, I forgot."
"Has Tang Qin already gone to Tianhai?"
"You probably can't contact her now."
Commissioner Wu's expression changed drastically!
He was about to ask how he knew, but he stopped himself from speaking.
"...I'm warning you one last time, stop saying anything that's unrelated to the interrogation."
"The last information Zhang Heng gave us was related to you, and after that you entered a domain with him."
"At the same time, we discovered that you lent Zhang Heng the 'Compass,' which has extremely serious side effects, without his permission."
"All the clues suggest that you suspect Zhang Heng of eavesdropping on your conversations and that he is Tang Jie's informant, which is why you maliciously killed him in the domain."
"Xu Sandao..."
Commissioner Wu said coldly, "What secret do you have that you don't want Zhang Heng to know?"
Xu Sandao grinned, a somewhat neurotic smile on his face.
"First of all, I do not 'suspect' that Zhang Heng was eavesdropping."
"You, me, Tang Qin, and Zhang Heng's departed soul..."
"Everyone knows this is a 'fact'."
In that instant, in the dim light, Commissioner Wu suddenly vaguely saw something hidden under Xu Sandao's tongue.
It looks like a... white pill?
His heart suddenly skipped a beat!
Commissioner Wu knew very well that Xu Sandao had already lit up two stars, allowing him to use supernatural objects in the real world!
For this reason, Tang Qin deliberately arranged the arrest very suddenly, catching him off guard. At the same time, she searched Xu Sandao's entire body to confirm that he was not carrying any strange objects!
Commissioner Wu stood up abruptly, but at that moment, his eyes suddenly glazed over.
"I......"
Xu Sandao remained seated in his original position.
He said softly, "There's one more thing."
"My second mistake..."
"I shouldn't have come to work yesterday."
"Commissioner Wu, do you know that I didn't sleep well the night before last?"
He yawned, looked at the man opposite him, and sat back down in his original seat in a daze.
"I have already told you the truth."
"Next, it's your turn."
Commissioner Wu's face immediately turned red, his eyes widened, and his body trembled as if he wanted to stand up and say something!
"Don't worry, I won't hurt you."
Xu Sandao said that, like Commissioner Wu opposite him, his body was firmly imprisoned in place.
The "truth pills" are starting to work.
It treats both users and objects of its influence equally.
"After you finish saying what I want to hear, I will tell you what you want to know."
After saying that, Xu Sandao crossed his arms and didn't ask any questions, as if the other party already knew what he wanted to ask.
"I......"
Commissioner Wu hesitated for a moment, then his words poured out like a flood:
"Sister Tang suspects you're colluding with the sales department or even external forces to deliberately drag her down, so she's been keeping this mission from you—"
"I don't know what happened, but President Su Qiuyue and Sister Tang flew to Tianhai City this morning—"
"Everyone in the warehouse department was ordered to stay put and wait until dawn to receive a key individual—"
Xu Sandao's fingers twitched almost imperceptibly.
He remained silent, but the other person, as if knowing what he wanted to ask, continued:
“Su Qiuyue is Sister Tang’s mentor, and she did indeed previously order Sister Tang not to continue the pursuit—”
"But it seems like higher-ups spoke with her; I don't know what happened in between—"
"She took her A-grade artifact with her to open the [Netherworld·Hysteria]."
Xu Sandao waved his hand.
He already knew the information he needed, and the effects of the "truth pill" were about to wear off.
Across from him, Commissioner Wu's eyes darted around in their sockets; in a few more seconds, he would regain his ability to move independently.
However, he doesn't have that much time left to live.
Xu Sandao moved his wrists, and his body somehow broke free from the shackles of the hemp rope.
He stood up abruptly, grabbed the pen from the table, and plunged it into the throat of Commissioner Wu across from him.
Blood splattered everywhere instantly!
“Hoh—hoh..…”
Commissioner Wu regained control of his body just a few seconds later than Xu Sandao.
He gripped the pen tightly, feeling an intense pain shooting through his throat!
His eyes were filled with disbelief!
Didn't Xu Sandao say he wouldn't hurt him?
How dare Xu Sandao lay a hand on an employee of the "company"?!
When did he first decide to kill?!
In front of Commissioner Wu, a red-haired man stood alone at the table.
There was no emotion in his eyes.
[The Mysterious Object: The Truth Pill]
[Ability: Causes the target to lose control of themselves and reveal the truth]
[Applicable premise: exchanged for truth of equal quality and quantity]
[Note: The "Truth Pill" only works on humans and cannot be used on ghosts (humans include human NPCs in the domain)]
[Cost 1: From the moment the "Truth Pill" is activated, for the next hour, any communication the user engages in will automatically be a lie.]
【Cost 2: ?】
Cooldown period: 48 hours / Each domain can only be used once.
Xu Sandao silently watched as Commissioner Wu twitched on the ground like a headless chicken.
He paused, and only after the other person gradually stopped convulsing did he take his own phone out of Commissioner Wu's pocket.
It's already six o'clock in the afternoon.
At this point in time, most employees, except for those in the warehouse department, had already left the company.
"Is it because Su Qiuyue's ghostly possession of 'delirium' is passive, or because I'm too sleepy?"
Xu Sandao silently recited a phrase in his mind, feeling that his head was still dizzy, but much better than before.
He opened his phone; there was only one message:
[Extremely: I went to the bookstore, but the owner wasn't there.]
It will be sent out at 1 p.m.
There has been no further news since.
Xu Sandao's brows furrowed deeply; everything had happened too fast...
During the time he was interrogated, Chen Ji was most likely already involved in:
【Netherworld·Hysteria】In.
However, Xu Sandao could not confirm...
To what extent will Su Qiuyue open up her Netherworld?
