I am the villain in the book
#24 - Storm is coming
After the time it takes to burn an incense stick, Wei Changtian and Guo Ying exited the interrogation room one after the other.
The situation was roughly understood, but also seemed not to be understood.
Guo Ying asked, "Young Master, are you going to interrogate that Liu Yingying next?"
"Wait a moment, I need to think about something first."
Leaning against the cold bluestone wall, Wei Changtian frowned, comparing the current situation with the novel's plot in his memory to sort out the whole story.
Seven days ago, Xiao Feng passed by Houqiu Village and easily dealt with a pig demon, which matched the novel's plot.
But the subsequent development was not right.
So... why is it different from the novel?
He had not even met Xiao Feng at that time.
Even a butterfly effect shouldn't have had such an impact so early!
This feeling... it's as if there's a mysterious force in the dark hindering him from killing Xiao Feng.
Heavenly Dao's blessing?
Luck protecting him?
Damn! How is he supposed to play this game?
Rubbing his forehead, Wei Changtian smiled wryly and muttered to himself.
"Transmigration plus system VS Child of Destiny?"
...
"Young Master Wei, what did you just say?"
Guo Ying, who had been standing beside him, was somewhat puzzled.
He clearly heard Wei Changtian say something, but he didn't understand the meaning.
"It's nothing."
Wei Changtian shook his head: "Let's go, let's go see that Liu Yingying again."
"Yes."
Guo Ying bowed and led the way, and soon the two stopped in front of interrogation room C-3.
All the interrogation rooms look almost the same from the outside, and outsiders can't tell which is which.
This is mainly to prevent jailbreaks.
Looking at the girl with her eyes closed in the interrogation room, Wei Changtian suddenly turned his head and said, "Brother Guo, I want to talk to her alone."
"Huh?"
Guo Ying was stunned for a moment.
This was actually against the rules, but since it was Wei Changtian...
"Young Master Wei, I'll be waiting at the door. Just call me if you need anything."
"Okay, I know."
The iron door behind him slowly closed, and the already quiet environment instantly became so silent that a pin could be heard dropping.
Without rushing to ask questions, Wei Changtian first sized up Liu Yingying, and then turned his gaze to the items placed on the table.
Besides some small items that girls carry with them, the most conspicuous should be the demon core that emits a fluorescent light.
Wei Changtian recognized this thing, because he had a box full of them in his room.
And judging from the quality, they were much better than the one in front of him.
"Did Xiao Feng give this to you?"
Wei Changtian picked up the demon core and looked at it, casually saying: "It's worth about a few hundred taels of silver, enough for you to spend until the next time you see him."
"Of course, provided he can live until then."
"..."
Liu Yingying suddenly opened her eyes, with a hint of doubt in addition to fear.
In her heart, everyone who was unfavorable to Brother Xiao was a bad person, but at least this man in front of her didn't look as fierce as those constables just now.
"I, I've already said it, I don't recognize Xiao..."
"Alright."
Wei Changtian waved his hand to interrupt: "Your grandfather has already confessed everything."
"When he killed the pig demon, when he was injured, and how you took care of him... I know everything I need to know."
"Wha, what..."
The girl's face instantly turned pale.
She stared at Wei Changtian, and after a long while, she trembled and asked: "Xiao, what crime did Brother Xiao commit? Why are you arresting him?"
"He didn't commit a crime."
Wei Changtian replied without any logic: "But he just has to die."
"Wha, what kind of reasoning is this..."
Liu Yingying stared wide-eyed in disbelief, obviously this answer had exceeded the scope of her understanding.
"There's no reasoning."
Wei Changtian glanced at her: "Answer a few questions for me, and then you and your grandfather can go back."
"Did Xiao Feng say anything to you before he left?"
"..."
"Not talking? Then that means he did say something."
Taking two steps closer, Wei Changtian bent down and looked directly into Liu Yingying's eyes, saying lightly: "If you tell me now, you might still be able to see each other again."
"But if you don't say, I guarantee you won't see each other again."
"No, no..."
Under the high pressure, Liu Yingying finally couldn't take it anymore, and suddenly denied in a broken voice: "Brother Xiao's martial arts are so high! He won't be killed by you!"
"Kill him? You misunderstood my meaning."
Wei Changtian's expression remained unchanged, but the words he said made Liu Yingying's hair stand on end for a moment.
"If I kill you, wouldn't you not be able to see each other either?"
"..."
"Pa ta!"
Tears of fear filled her face, and in an instant, they dripped from the girl's delicate chin onto the ground.
Death is always the most effective means of threat, and as long as the timing is right, it can pry open anyone's mouth.
Especially a twelve-year-old girl whose mind is not yet mature.
"..."
Liu Yingying bit her lip tightly, seemingly forcing herself not to speak.
But there was still a voice uncontrollably squeezing out from between her teeth word by word.
"...Xiao, Brother Xiao said, he wants to go figure out some things..."
"..."
...
A quarter of an hour later.
Outside the gate of the Suspended Mirror Division, Wei Changtian took a deep breath of fresh air and smiled at Guo Ying: "Brother Guo, thank you for your hard work today."
"Not hard, not hard! It's just my duty!"
Guo Ying diligently opened the carriage curtain, and whispered: "Young Master, what should be done with those two?"
"Let them go back, send a few people to keep a close eye on them, Xiao Feng will definitely go back."
Wei Changtian glanced at the cloudy night sky, then bent down and got into the carriage.
Wang Er waved the whip in his hand, the wheels rumbled, and the carriage sped away into the distance, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
And just as Yongning Lane returned to peace again, a gambling den in the west of the city was in an uproar.
"You little bastard! You dare to cause trouble in my Xuantian Society's casino! You must think your life is too long!"
"Damn it, kill him!"
"Fuck!"
A group of burly men holding various weapons surrounded Xiao Feng, who was disguised, although they were yelling and screaming, no one dared to really step forward.
The wailing companions lying on the ground were a lesson to them.
They didn't attack, and Xiao Feng didn't make a move, and the two sides were deadlocked in place.
Until the crowd suddenly opened a path, and a refined white-robed man walked in slowly from the outside.
"Good man, I wonder where my Xuantian Society has offended you, that you have to start a fight here?"
Xiao Feng's face was gloomy: "I just wanted to see your helmsman, but these people repeatedly blocked and ridiculed me... It's good that I didn't kill them."
"Heh heh, what big words."
The white-robed man sneered: "Our helmsman is not...
"Clang!"
The black sword was unsheathed, its dark light sharp.
The next second, the white-robed man exclaimed in shock: "Xuantian Sword!! Who exactly are you? Why is this sword in your hand?!"
"You don't need to know who I am."
Xiao Feng asked indifferently: "Can I see your helmsman now?"
"Ca, can..."
"Then lead the way!"
"..."
In the shocked eyes of the Xuantian Society, Xiao Feng and the white-robed man walked out of the gambling den, and soon merged into the night.
The clouds in the sky became denser and denser, they lined up on the east and west sides of the moon, like millions of troops about to go to war.
This Danning capital, which has stood for hundreds of years without falling, suddenly seemed to be on the verge of a storm.
