Hunter of Mysterious Creature-Chapter 550 - 124: Interrogation

"Will she survive after your interrogation with the bewitching object?" Ye Jiu turned the folding chair under him in another direction, leaned on the back with his arm, and asked while staring at his counterpart, "If what you get from the interrogation is a corpse..."

"Using a bewitching object for interrogation won’t cause the prisoner to die, just a little side effect." The interrogation expert raised his hand, making a gesture symbolizing the loss of the Xinluo Market, "Just a tiny bit."

"Are you sure?" Ye Jiu looked doubtful.

"I vouch for it with my career," the interrogation expert stated.

"Let me think about it..."

Before Ye Jiu could finish his sentence, Song Yarong’s voice suddenly came from the preparation room: "No need to consider, I’ve approved it."

"If you approve, then should anything unexpected happen, the responsibility will be yours!" Ye Jiu said immediately.

"I’ll take it, I’ll take it," Song Yarong said instantly, "The pesticide plan has reached the most critical point, and any lapse is intolerable at this moment."

Song Yarong hadn’t informed Ye Jiu about what occurred at the PFDA testing site, but her intuition told her that the captured superhuman was very likely a member of the "organization" mentioned by Wen Ya and Yao Yu.

First, they collaborated with a bewitching object to attack Sun Hang, then they managed to sneak their pawns into the list of members executing the raid operation... Luckily, Sun Hang single-handedly thwarted these two plans. Otherwise, just imagining the outcomes if their schemes succeeded made Song Yarong’s spine chill.

"Shall I go prepare then?" The interrogation expert glanced at Ye Jiu and asked.

Although Song Yarong’s authority was a level higher than Ye Jiu’s, Ye Jiu was currently the "chief interrogator" of this session; if he strongly opposed using bewitching objects in the interrogation, things could become extremely troublesome.

This interrogation expert had been working within the system for many years and was all too familiar with various unspoken rules and procedures.

Song Yarong’s recent words primarily served to take on most of the responsibility for any accidents during the interrogation, but it didn’t mean Ye Jiu could entirely shirk his part.

This rule was originally designed to allow various departments to mutually restrict each other during power distribution... But sometimes, restriction turned into a shackle.

"Go ahead, go ahead." Ye Jiu waved impatiently, "Be careful not to kill anyone."

"Mr. Ye, you can rest assured, she absolutely won’t die."

...

Seemingly prepared, the interrogation expert reappeared before Ye Jiu in less than ten minutes.

This time, he wore a protective suit equipped with an internal Power Exoskeleton, and two assistants wearing the same protective suits followed, pushing a small cart.

"Is this what’s used to assist the interrogation?" Ye Jiu asked.

"Yes," the interrogation expert nodded at the assistant behind him, who immediately opened the cabinet on the cart and input a lengthy password.

Then, the interrogation expert removed his gloves from the protective suit and pressed his palm against the screen.

"Beep, palm scan successful, identity confirmed... Unlocking in process."

An electronic synthetic voice came from inside the cabinet, and the interrogation expert quickly withdrew his hand, hastily putting on the gloves again, and securing the sealing rings at the glove’s opening.

The top lid of the cabinet slowly opened, revealing a steering wheel-like valve handle.

The two assistants each grabbed the valve handle and slowly turned it.

A gush of white cold fog instantly emerged from the gap of the valve... Faintly, Ye Jiu seemed to hear the sound of some soft-bodied creature writhing.

"Cabinet temperature has risen to minus forty degrees Celsius... Thirty-seven, thirty-five degrees Celsius now," said an assistant watching the monitoring device beside him, "B-595 is reviving."

A tentacle covered in mucus extended from the cabinet, slippery on one side with a membrane, and covered with various-sized suckers on the other side.

"An octopus?" Ye Jiu muttered softly.

As soon as the tentacle emerged from the cabinet, it immediately curled around the neck of the nearest assistant. The assistant’s expression changed instantly, taking a step back and removing a spray can hanging from his belt, spraying the tentacle.

The tentacle recoiled immediately upon contact with the atomized liquid from the spray can, the effect was instant.

"What is this?" Ye Jiu couldn’t help asking.

"A separation agent specific for B-595." The interrogation expert’s voice came from beneath the helmet of the protective suit, "Generally used to separate B-595 from the interrogated prisoner, and can also be used to suppress overly excited B-595 when necessary... It might be overly excited, having not been out for activity for too long now."

"B-595 revival level is at 85%," another assistant spoke, "Boss, we can start."

"Begin," the interrogation expert nodded.

The assistant pushed the small cart behind the superhuman and then retreated a safe distance away.

A light purple octopus slowly crawled out from the cabinet, climbing up along the chair back onto the superhuman’s shoulders, then along the neck and nape to the top of the superhuman’s head.

Its soft body seemed to melt, drooping down to wrap half of the superhuman’s head—during this process, the superhuman who had been resisting the interrogation became extremely compliant, not even showing minimal signs of struggle.
