Apostle of Cthulhu

Chapter 249 Interrogation

When Laisen woke up again, what appeared in his field of vision was no longer the gray-blue sky of heavy industry.

A simple electric lamp hangs on the mottled gray ceiling. Visible wires extend from the ceiling to the door. You can still vaguely see the electricity bill and gas meter, but whether the numbers on them will change, it's just a It’s unknown.

At this time, Laisen was lying on a wire bed, his wrists and ankles were tied, and his whole body was in a large shape, leaving no room to move.

Si Wei, who had just sold him the newspaper, was sitting on a wooden chair near the door, reading yesterday's newspaper tirelessly, seemingly waiting for Laisen to wake up.

Sensing something strange about Laisen, Si Wei turned his eyes away and looked at Laisen who looked panicked, "Are you awake? Mr. Laisen."

"You...who are you? Why do you know me?" Lathan's words were trembling, and he was obviously scared.

Si Wei said in a more relaxed tone: "Why do you care about this kind of thing? If you don't get into trouble with these little things, the conversation between us will be much simpler."

Laisen didn't understand what Si Wei meant, or rather he didn't understand why Si Wei tied him up here after attacking him. Did he have any grudge against him? I have obviously never seen this guy before!

No wonder Lathan had broken away from the pirate social circle a long time ago, and he had no idea that there was a guy like Si Wei who got off the Falcon Arrow unscathed. Even if he knew, he probably wouldn't have guessed Si Wei. Can interact with Isaac.

So far, there are only a few people who know about the close relationship between Isaac and Si Wei, and they are still very important people. These people will definitely not share this kind of information easily.

In the current Chadril territory, except for the life-threatening guy Ogutan, who is willing to be at odds with Si Wei?

Seeing that Laisen had not spoken for a long time, Si Wei said, "Don't be so nervous, Mr. Laisen, I just want to ask you a few questions. If you were of no use, you wouldn't be the one appearing here. But a corpse."

Lathan was greatly frightened by these words. The reason why he broke away from the pirate's social circle was mainly because the experience of living on a knife's edge was too difficult to continue for a long time. It had been a long time since his life had been threatened. How could he not be timid now that he met a guy who didn't tell lies?

"Ask...a question...right..." Laisen swallowed and tried his best to raise his head to look at Siwei and monitor his every move, but his neck was extremely sore and his strength was disappearing at any time.

And fear has filled his heart. He can feel every heartbeat very clearly, as if his heart will burst out of his body at any time!

"I...I will answer honestly...Please, let me go..."

Si Wei folded the newspaper and rolled it into a stick shape. He pulled the chair forward and sat next to Lathan. "It's such an old-fashioned line of begging for mercy. I've heard it several times. Can you Can’t you change it to something else?”

Laisen almost cried. Is this guy playing with himself? When begging for mercy, you have to do it one by one. Isn't this because you are determined not to let yourself go?

But the person who could decide his life was right in front of him, so Laisen had to compromise. His brain worked at an unprecedented speed, and he came up with a new set of begging lines in the shortest time.

"Then...that...please...let me go..."

After thinking for a long time, he finally failed to break through all these shackles, and what he blurted out was still the simplest words of begging for mercy.

Si Wei shook his head silently and chose to get straight to the point, "You answer whatever I ask you. I have a way to confirm whether your answer is true or false, so it's best not to fool me. Do you understand?"

As he spoke, the face of the Omniscient Book appeared in his right hand. This was his trump card to confirm whether Laisen was lying.

Indeed, dream eaters can find correct answers in dreams, but some answers cannot be obtained from one-sided dreams. Si Wei at the third node must use interrogation to flesh out his conclusions.

"I, I understand!" Leson nodded anxiously, his eyebrows furrowed together in anxiety.

"Tell you the name of the man who put the reward on his head?"

Lathan answered honestly: "He has no name, only a nickname, Clay Man. He is an information dealer. He had a good relationship with me before, so he told me about the reward."

Information dealer? Even the information dealer doesn't know about his existence? Then this person is not very qualified.

Then, Si Wei asked a second question, "Then did the clay figure tell you who posted the reward?"

Lathan shook his head honestly, "This... I don't know... the rewards are all anonymous, through our internal pirate social network... you should understand..."

The social network within the pirates... There is no reason why Isaac should not know about this. In terms of intelligence network, there are only a handful of people who can surpass Isaac.

However, Isaac did not seek help from Si Wei, which meant that the matter should still be under control.

However, the information revealed by the clay figure about the identity of the person offering the bounty was related to the expedition team, which was within Si Wei's control.

If this matter had nothing to do with the Pantheon Sect, the Star Foundation and the expedition team, then Si Wei would just have to do his job and everything would be fine. Unfortunately, the expedition team was involved now.

Siwei is now very curious about Curtis Brandt's identity. It would be great if he could find someone from the expedition team to ask about it.

Jack is the typical guy who doesn't want to tell him anything. Even if he asks, he will probably be kicked out. And Siwei can't find Jack now.

In this case, Siwei needs to find the bounty holder.

"Have you... done with your questions?" Lassen felt a little sore in his throat, his lips were a little dry, cold sweat kept oozing from his back, wetting his clothes, and his legs couldn't help shaking slightly.

"Oh, I'm done." Siwei put away the all-knowing book. All the answers given in the all-knowing book showed that Lassen was telling the truth.

"Then..." Lassen looked happy. Does this mean that Siwei can let him go?

Siwei looked down at Lassen, and there was a bit of doubt in his eyes.

This doubt was like asking... why do you think so?

Lassen was stunned. At this moment, Siwei had pressed his eyes with his right hand. Quan Zhishu's ring hurt his eyeballs.

"Since you've told the truth, I'll let you die without too much pain. Anyway, you won't be able to get out of this bed today."
