The warden who guards the witches

After being forced to answer a question, Sophie immediately began to ask questions in turn: "Tell me the whereabouts of the goddess of conspiracy!"

The same command immediately sounded in Veronica's head, but the answer that finally jumped out of her mouth was: "I don't know what you are talking about."

"Damn it!" After understanding what Aiden did, Sophie immediately cursed in her heart.

The rules of the "Wordless Code" will apply to both parties. While forcing her to reveal information, she will also become aware of everything.

So he simply sent a person who knew nothing about confidential information to interrogate him. Either he was hiding somewhere with the "Wordless Code", or he directly lent the "Wordless Code" to him. This female prison guard.

Sophie did not expect that the other party would be so willing to sacrifice dignity, even if it offended Smile Balance's intelligence network, they would pry the information out of her mouth.

Veronica had no clue about the questions Aiden wrote on the paper or the questions raised by the other party.

She was only instructed to ask questions according to the procedure, write down all the answers, and then relay them to Aiden verbatim.

The paper Aiden gave her was a tree diagram recording various questions, roughly covering some possible answers and the questions that should be asked in order.

After hearing the answer to the first question, Veronica continued to look down, and then asked the second question: "When, where, and what information did he buy from you?"

"Two years ago in the Empire's White Horse City, he asked about the whereabouts of the 'Hand of Annihilation'." Sophie was once again forced to give an answer.

Veronica glanced at the record on the paper and continued to ask: "The answer you gave him-"

"Woo!!" Sophie suddenly bit her tongue hard, and the severe pain shook her whole body.

Under the influence of the "Wordless Code", she was still forced to answer the question, but with her tongue bitten, she could only make some indistinct sounds, and the taste of rust was in her mouth. It spread, and blood mixed with saliva overflowed from the corners of her mouth.

"Hey!" Veronica opened her eyes slightly when she saw this.

But she calmed down quickly. Aiden had told her that if the other party suddenly responded in such an extreme way, she would temporarily stop asking questions.

She immediately took out the "Wordless Code" and crossed out the rule that forced her to answer questions.

"Okay, I won't ask anymore! Open your mouth first and let me see the injury!" She signaled the other person to calm down first.

Sophie stared at her for a while, then opened her mouth - the tongue was not bitten off, but it seemed that the fangs had injured the muscle layer, and blood was constantly oozing from the wound. The injury seems unlikely to be life-threatening, but this kind of wound... it may be difficult to heal completely without a good suture technique.

Veronica sighed: "Let's go to treatment first."

An hour later, the infirmary.

"...Can you speak normally now?" Sophie asked, lying on the bench after Aiden received treatment.

After a long silence, Sophie said expressionlessly: "It's really amazing medical skills. The tongue that was almost bitten healed so quickly... although the treatment process is a bit strange."

Aiden turned to look at Mei Liujinu who was standing aside: "Thank you for your hard work."

"It's a trivial matter. Just using the bestiality medicine can heal most of the minor injuries." Mei Liujinu smiled politely.

Aiden signaled a prison guard to take Meluki out, and then signaled Veronica to take Sophie into the back room.

After entering the back room, Aiden asked Sophie to sit down face to face with him: "You are quite cruel to yourself. If your tongue is broken, the big singer will not be able to sing a word of the lyrics."

"It's not like you suddenly used this method..." Sophie's tone was a bit dissatisfied, "I thought you, the warden, would be a decent person."

"You can't eat something like dignity. This information is really important to me. I really can't afford the price you're offering." Aiden shrugged.

"So you decided to use this method to eat the King's meal?"

"If every transaction has to be calculated clearly, it's actually you who caused me trouble in the first place." Aiden spread his hands.

"I really didn't expect you to go to this extent..." Sophie sighed.

"I didn't expect you to be able to do this." Aiden replied.

"You are actually willing to hand over your sole authority to someone else. What is your relationship?" Sophie looked back and forth between Aiden and Veronica, who was standing behind Aiden, "Companion? Lover?"

"Eh?" Veronica subconsciously showed an expression of surprise and happiness.

"A trustworthy superior." Aiden didn't see Veronica's expression and gave an extremely realistic answer.

Veronica suddenly curled her lips in dissatisfaction.

Sophie looked at the two of them again: "Okay, I kind of understand."

It can be called a clear-cut relationship, but no matter what, there must be a trusting relationship that transcends interests enough to allow one of the parties to trust the other party with confidence.

Trust... Sophie couldn't help but think of the maid who was by her side again.

"You said Mr. Bloody Clothes once asked you about the whereabouts of the 'Hand of Annihilation', which means you know about it?" Aiden asked Sophie.

"You still ask?" Sophie frowned.

"Anyway, the information has been leaked, so why not tell me everything." Aiden persuaded the other party, "You have already seen the methods I will use..."

"Then you have seen the measures I will take... Please don't push me too hard." Sophie replied with a dark face, "This time you asked for important information of the only authority..."

"To be honest, I don't quite understand. Is this kind of information that can be bought with money really so important that you have to keep it strictly to the point of biting off your tongue?" Aiden asked, "You shouldn't be so short of money as a big singer?"

"It is the iron rule of the organization to keep information strictly. Everything I have is given by the organization." Sophie replied.

"Bound by the rules of the organization to make money? I thought rich people like you should be freer." Aiden commented.

Sophie was stunned.

"Well, today is a big gain. Let's stop here first." Aiden put aside further questions very simply, "Since you are injured, you don't need to work in the afternoon. Rest in the cell."

Aiden waved his hand, signaling Veronica to take Sophie back to the cell.

The Hand of Annihilation - he had heard this name from Chichimora.

Mr. Bloody is also looking for the sole authority of "Nothingness" just like Kikimora.

In other words, this is probably the method Mr. Bloody has found to crack Melissa's resurrection method and completely kill the existence of "Aiden Jarod".
