Wu Ming and Zhao Sida spent a lot of effort to hold down Alex who was about to explode, and finally stopped him from trying to break Otto's legs and use physical means to make him have a long conversation with them, and Made him aware of the language barrier problem.
"You can't ask Otu to speak Russian just because you can communicate with us without any barriers..." Wu Ming wiped the sweat from his forehead and glanced at the man who had put away his fantasy since just now. Liu Yu, who was sitting quietly on the side with Jian Lao, said, "Fortunately, I discovered it early, otherwise the beating would have been in vain..."
The old hunter, who almost gave Otto a beating in vain, scratched his head in embarrassment: "I'm really sorry, I was a little too impatient..."
After that, he apologized very solemnly to Otto - but unfortunately it was still in Russian, which the latter couldn't understand at all.
"How did you interrogate those three people before..." Wu Ming said a little incredulously. He carefully recalled the appearance and characteristics of the three psykers last time and found that there were indeed two European faces among them. "They will Russian?”
"They had to tell them in English after I beat them like this last time..." Alex suddenly paused before he could finish his words, and then his expression became more embarrassed as if he realized something. , smiled and began to change the topic: "Don't mention this, brother, let's talk about how to interrogate..."
This blunt topic-changing technique is almost like a certain e-sports anchor who was exposed by fans and yelled, "Fuck you, watch the game! Watch the game!" 'Exactly the same as before, anyone can tell that he is forcibly changing the topic.
Damn it, I'm afraid the interrogation was in Russian last time. As a result, the other person couldn't understand and was beaten severely before he thought of communicating in English... Wu Ming cursed in his heart, but did not say his true thoughts: "Forget it, you Tell me the questions you want to ask, and I'll ask him..."
"Well, please leave it to me, brother. First of all, there is the issue of this ritual, who revealed it to them, and what purpose they want to use this ritual to achieve..." Alex nodded and said.
Wu Ming replaced the angry-faced Alex: "Have you experienced the anger in Brother Hunter just now? I can tell you responsibly that if you refuse to answer the question, you will really be beaten. .So I suggest you be honest and tell me the origin of this ceremony you held..."
"The ritual... I stole the ritual from the Truth Society with the help of others..." Otto, who had been frightened by the old hunter just now, would have dared to hide anything. In fact, if it weren't for the language barrier, he wouldn't have been able to do it. If we were to communicate, I'm afraid he would have told everything he knew, "Because our psychic abilities are very weak, it is almost difficult to produce any substantial effects in the real world. Later, I accidentally learned that the truth can strengthen our power." method. But they have a monopoly on this technology. Lower-level members like us who have just become psykers and have only joined the association for a short time are not qualified to have access to this technology..."
"So you stole this technology?"
"Yes, to be precise, I stole this technology. I first attracted a few senior members, and cleverly caught the handle of one of them, and then got a lot of useful information from her. , including where the ritual methods that permanently strengthen our strength are kept, the treasured [wisdom] potion that is said to be able to super-strengthen our strength in a short period of time, the extraordinary materials needed to perform the ceremony... and then inspired many people like me who have the same problem. The lower-level members who had not been promoted and strengthened, and formulated a plan. Finally, when most of the members of the Truth Society were mobilized for a certain action, they defeated the guards there and implemented the stealing plan..."
When Otto said this, he looked a little elated when he was originally depressed. After all, he considered that period to be the most glorious and eye-catching period in his life so far. Not only did he successfully complete the IQ test on members of the Truth Society, After completing the plan, he led the team to fight all the way out of the Society of Truth, and finally came to the shallow layer of the shadow world to successfully hold the ceremony...
"That is to say, your actions were completely organized spontaneously, and no one instigated or instigated you, right?" After An Jing listened to Otto's account, Wu Ming concluded.
Otto's voice was full of arrogance: "Hmph...how could I sacrifice my life for them?"
This looks like being used as a weapon... But what emerged in Wu Ming's mind was a completely different feeling: "Let's talk about something else. The purpose is to steal ritual information, materials and wisdom potions. , you came here to hold a ceremony again, what is the purpose of working so hard to become stronger? Or let me put it in a simpler way, what do you want to do after you become stronger? "
In the final analysis, performing rituals to become stronger is just a means to achieve the ultimate goal. Judging from Otto's previous words and deeds, he does have an original motive, and it is this motive that drives him to this point. This situation today.
This time Otto was silent for a long time, so long that Wu Ming even wondered if he refused to answer, he finally finished his answer.
"I want to make everyone in the city bald without hair, and I want those who laugh at me to taste the pain of baldness..."
The unexpected answer stunned Wu Ming, Lin Jiaojiao, and Liu Yu beside him. Even the puppet girl Zhao Sida's eyes flashed with exclamation marks. Only the old hunter couldn't understand the other party. What exactly did he say, so he was not surprised by this answer.
For a moment, Wu Ming didn't know what kind of expression he should use to face Otto, and even deep down in his heart, he began to secretly pity the latter. Afterwards, he turned to Alex with a complicated expression and exchanged the results of the interrogation with Alex. After taking this opportunity to regain his composure, Wu Ming continued to ask.
"What do you know about the [truth] circulating among ordinary people and students?"
Perhaps because he even revealed his ultimate goal, Otto felt that he no longer had a bottom line to stick to. This time he confessed as readily as pouring beans through a bamboo tube: "That is something made by the truth... It is said to strengthen I came into contact with the intelligence, brain and extraordinary potential of ordinary people a year ago. After I awakened my spiritual power and was admitted as a member of the Society of Truth, I was responsible for spreading it to the ordinary people together with several colleagues who had awakened at the same time. These potions..."
"How did you awaken your psychic abilities?"
Otto hesitated for a moment. He searched his mind but could not find the answer to this question. His tone was full of uncertainty and doubt: "I...I don't know..."
"I suddenly discovered one day that I had awakened my spiritual power, but I don't remember much about what happened in the days before I discovered my awakening. I only remember that during the period before my awakening, people seemed to be in a daze, and then their consciousness became blurred. About a week later... no, it could be even longer. Suddenly one day I woke up a little bit, and then I had more thoughts about my fantasy sword in my mind, and what my awakened spiritual power was, and what else. Functional information..."
"Um... I seem to be like Otto, who awakened my super powers inexplicably..." At this time, Liu Yu weakly raised his hand on the side. Under the gaze of several big guys who had just smashed their small group, he He said tremblingly: "I have also had a state of blurred memory. It's not just me, but also several of my classmates..."
Wu Ming raised his eyebrows slightly, realizing that the problem seemed a bit complicated.
