Hunter of Mysterious Creature-Chapter 552 - 125: Safehouse

Right, but something still feels off.

Is it? Or is it not?

Is the Holy Master really Chimera 17? If so, then why was it contacting Sasha through "dream communication" at that time, planting this backup plan?

Could it be that Chimera 17’s target from the beginning was Sun Hang?

This doesn’t seem right, does it?

It can’t possibly be for avenging Tai Sui, can it? Ye Jiu has dealt with the entities for so long, and he’s never heard of an entity avenging another entity.

Ye Jiu felt like his mind was now a tangled ball of yarn. Initially, he had grabbed the loose end, and with a gentle pull, the whole thing was supposed to unravel... Yet now he realized that as he tugged at the string, the ball only became more chaotic.

It even got damn well tied into a dead knot.

Ye Jiu couldn’t help but sigh inwardly... Maybe it’s best not to take on this kind of task next time; perhaps fighting entities on the front lines suits him better.

Just as Ye Jiu was pondering how to proceed with his questions, Song Yarong’s voice suddenly rang out in the interrogation room. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

"Sasha, do you know about the ’Holy Cabinet’?"

"Holy Cabinet?" Ye Jiu paused, and the words "What is the Holy Cabinet?" emerged in his mind instinctively.

He knew that currently, Tianfu City enforces information control, and aside from work-related overlaps, different departments don’t know much about each other’s tasks. However, a term like Holy Cabinet, rich with religious undertones, was clearly associated with a Cult Organization—Ye Jiu thought he’d gone over Tai Sui organization’s files repeatedly, yet had never encountered any mention of "Holy Cabinet" in any related documents.

Could it be associated with another Cult Organization?

That doesn’t make sense either. Sasha was part of the Tai Sui organization and never joined any other cult after Sun Hang destroyed it, right until the time when this so-called ’Holy Master’ communicated with her through dreams...

How could you expect her to know about the "Holy Cabinet"...

Sure enough, faced with Song Yarong’s question, Sasha remained silent—just as Ye Jiu had predicted, if not identical, at least indistinguishably similar.

"Are you sure she’ll answer all the questions she knows the answers to?" Song Yarong asked again.

Clearly, this time she wasn’t asking Sasha, nor Ye Jiu, but the interrogation expert beside her.

"I’m sure." The interrogation expert glanced at the monitor screen, "All the parameters are normal, she’s under complete control by B-595, in this state, she speaks all she knows."

Having said this, the interrogation expert rewound the interrogation footage a few seconds—to the moment when Song Yarong asked the question about the "Holy Cabinet," Sasha’s facial expression hadn’t changed at all.

But on another note, with her orifices plugged like tubes by the entity’s tendrils, even if she wanted to show any change, it probably wouldn’t be easy...

"Nor are there any changes in brainwaves, which means even her subconscious doesn’t react to this question in a ’resting’ state." The interrogation expert shrugged, "She probably genuinely doesn’t know what the ’Holy Cabinet’ is."

"Alright then... Sasha, do you recognize ’Wen Ya’ and Yao Yu?"

Sasha remained silent.

"Can she answer questions based on images?" Song Yarong asked.

"Yes."

The interrogation expert tapped a few keys on the screen, and several robotic arms reached toward B-595. The next moment, faint electric arcs were released from the front end of the robotic arms, striking the surface of B-595’s body.

B-595’s body twitched slightly, and soon, the part covering Sasha’s eyes rolled back, with eight slender tendrils flipping open her eyelids to reveal two bloodshot eyes.

"Is this okay?"

"Yes."

Accompanied by the sound of gears grinding, the projector hanging from the ceiling of the interrogation room shifted in front of Sasha, casting two images onto the opaque window separating the interrogation room.

The people in the photos were precisely the second-tier Hunter "Wen Ya," recently killed by Sun Hang, and his direct superior, Yao Yu.

"Do you recognize the two people in the photos?" Song Yarong asked Sasha.

Still, no response.

"It seems she really doesn’t know... Wait a minute, isn’t this guy ’Wen Ya’? What happened to him?" Ye Jiu exclaimed in astonishment.

"He’s dead." Song Yarong suddenly switched the communication channel, turning the public channel that could be heard in the interrogation room and preparation room into a one-on-one private chat with Ye Jiu.

"What? Dead?" Ye Jiu’s eyes widened, "Wasn’t this guy a quasi-first-tier Hunter? How did he die so casually? Who killed him? Chimera 17?"

"It was Sun Hang."

"Oh, then that’s okay... Wait, wait! Sun Hang killed Wen Ya? Why would Sun Hang kill Wen Ya? Has he gone crazy? Has he lost control? Or..."

"Calm down, there is nothing wrong with Sun Hang. The problem lies with these two."

"They... Could they be part of the Cult Organization?" Ye Jiu gasped.

"That’s right, Sun Hang inadvertently uncovered their secret. Wen Ya tried to kill Sun Hang to silence him but was killed instead. Yao Yu fled the scene immediately and is still being hunted down," Song Yarong explained, "Initially, I had some doubt about Sun Hang’s account, but Yao Yu’s actions dispelled my suspicion completely... The reason I urged you to interrogate Sasha was to determine whether there was any connection between her and those two."
