"What do you want to do?"
Gu Shen was finally able to speak.
However, he heard his own voice, as if it was floating out of his chest and no longer belonged to him.
"You have no right to ask questions."
He was answered with a cold rebuke.
The lights above suddenly gathered into a fiery linear beam of light, completely covering Gu Shen.
In an instant, my soul felt like it was being poured with boiling hot water!
"On the day of the fire, what methods did you use to kill the two extraordinary beings?"
Han Dang kept an eye on Gu Shen.
Under the burning light, Gu Shen roared in pain, veins bulged on his forehead, and he didn't want to speak.
But then an angry voice sounded deep in the soul——
"explain!"
[Mantra, activate! 】
With a bang, Gu Shen's head seemed to explode, as if an invisible hand was pressing his head on the chief judge's table.
He tried to fight the truth.
But the voice squeezed out of his chest bit by bit uncontrollably, hoarse like dry sand: "It's... a sealed item... I used a transcendent sealed item..."
Han Dang looked directly at Gu Shen coldly.
In the realm of mantra, Gu Shen cannot lie.
Sure enough, just as he thought, Gu Shen himself did not defeat the strength of the two extraordinary beings, but relied on external forces.
"What kind of sealed object and where did you get it?" Han Dang said slowly. He slowly retreated from the furious state and restored his gentle face.
The surrounding dark riot slowly dissipated.
But the only thing that didn't change was that Gu Shen was still pressed on the table, and his voice was being pulled out of his throat bit by bit.
"It's...a ruler...I got it from A-009..."
"A-009?"
Han Dang frowned and suddenly realized.
The last doubt was cleared up.
This was indeed a blind spot in his investigation. Han Dang had previously guessed that the "extraordinary item" was an object that Gu Shen had already owned, so that Gu Shen could survive two extraordinary events that happened one after another.
So that's it... Gu Shen got the sealed artifact from A-009 by chance.
"The fire attracted a lot of people's attention, so you hid the sealed object under the wooden board in the corner of the rooftop stairs, and after the incident, you went to the fire scene to take it away." Han Dang smiled. Crossing his hands: "Gu Shen, I have to say... you are a courageous person. Is that ruler on your body now?"
"..."
There was a long silence.
Gu Shen's voice no longer trembled.
"No...I put it in the bedroom of my apartment in Dateng City."
"Oh?" Han Dang chuckled: "It seems that you are not smart. You don't carry such an important item with you... Where is the ruler in the bedroom?"
He didn't notice the slight change in Gu Shen's tone.
He didn't even see it.
Above the bench behind Gu Shen, a snow-white dress was suspended. The white dress slowly fluttered and fell in the dark space.
The girl and Gu Shen sat on the chair overlapped.
In [Truth], Gu Shen cannot lie.
But...someone can.
Chu Ling, who had carried out [Spiritual Link] to Gu Shen, was an uncontrollable bystander in this dream. No matter [Mantra] or [Jingzhe], all dreams and rules could not be applied to her.
This is what Gu Shen thought of at the last moment to deal with Han Dang's interrogation.
This is the thirteenth day of Han Dang's investigation, which has reached the final stage. He has extremely strong doubts about himself.
So facing this soul torture... Even if Gu Shen has the means of [Spiritual Link], he cannot try to deceive completely with lies. The opponent is an extremely sharp and ruthless character. Once he realizes that he can lie in the field of [Truth], then The situation has reached an point where it cannot be resolved.
Therefore, he could only honestly explain the existence of the Ruler of Truth.
You have to suffer what you deserve.
The reason is for the [spiritual link] at the last moment after Han Dang relaxes his vigilance.
"I put the ruler on..."
Chu Ling's voice covered Gu Shen's voice, slow and long: "Bedroom locker, drawer on the third floor."
…
…
A little strange.
Gu Shen's aura changed, and he became unlike himself.
Han Dang frowned slightly. He noticed something strange, but he quickly dismissed it as his own illusion. There was no way this boy could deceive him in the field of [Truth].
Now he has obtained the most important information, the location of the ruler——
You're done.
Finally... there is a choice, right in front of you.
Han Dang just wanted to sabotage this review.
There is nothing simpler and more direct than injuring Gu Shen severely.
In the dream of [Mantra], I only need to wave my hand to do it... let this kid lie in the hospital bed for three to five months.
But soon.
This idea was abandoned by Han Dang.
It's not that he doesn't dare to do it, it's that he doesn't want to do it.
If he deposes Gu Shen, once this matter is exposed, he will really be in trouble. The students under Mr. Shu are very united, and they might do something crazy... When I think of that crazy female surnamed Luo, Han Dang felt a terrible headache.
"That's it...get the ruler, submit it to the review team, and it's all over."
Han Dang thought silently for a minute.
It was also the minute when Mantra's dream fell into dead silence.
Within this minute, Chu Ling still maintained the [spiritual link] state and was not disconnected, while Gu Shen was tortured in the long wait, and his fate was not under his control.
It can even be said that life or death all depends on Han Dang's thoughts.
"Crack."
Finally, Han Dang snapped his fingers.
He looked at Gu Shen, and a smile bloomed again on his cold face: "Okay, let's forget everything that happened here and return to reality. In reality, we will become friends at first sight."
…
…
[Mantra] It seems like a long time has passed in the dream.
In reality, however, the clock seems to have only clicked.
In the stairway, the two men, condensed like stone sculptures, recovered as before.
Gu Shen scratched his head and said, "Mr. Han, did you just call me?"
"No."
Han Dang smiled gently and adjusted his glasses, "Did you hear wrongly?"
The mother-in-law's eager voice sounded from the bottom of the stairs: "Xiao Gu, the tea is ready. Come down quickly with Mr. Xiao Han..."
Han Dang picked up his briefcase and went downstairs to his mother-in-law. He bowed slightly and showed a gentle and harmless smile: "Mother-in-law, I still have something to do. I won't interrupt you any more."
The mother-in-law stood there, a little embarrassed.
"This... we had such a good chat, why are we leaving now?"
She tried her best to wink at Gu Shen, trying to figure out what happened while she was making a pot of tea.
This is a big fat fish...oh no, a big rare visitor.
Gu Shen shook his head cryptically, indicating that he didn't know anything.
The mother-in-law quickly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Hey, Mr. Xiao Han..."
"Mother-in-law probably wants to ask about sponsorship."
Han Dang smiled and said: "You can rest assured, of course there is no problem with sponsorship. Mr. Gu Shen and I hit it off and had a great chat just now, so I contributed the money for the renovation of the orphanage. What's more, I also paid for the flowers on the rooftop. I really like it. There are not many people like you in this era. I hope the welfare home can continue to do this."
If I hadn't read Han Dang's files in advance, experienced the [Mantra] dream personally, and used [Spiritual Link] to resist hypnosis.
Gu Shen might really hit it off with this "Mr. Xiao Han".
And anyone who looks at it will feel that this is a high-quality young man who is positive, loves society, speaks generously, and is gentle.
“This is the first batch of sponsorship money.”
Han Dang took out a check from the lapel of his suit, wrote the amount of 100,000 yuan, and then signed his name. He looked at his mother-in-law's happy and excited smile and said with a smile: "I will also make a check to the Chenguang Welfare Home in the future. money."
"Thank you, thank you." The mother-in-law pulled Gu Shen's sleeve and said, "Xiao Gu, don't be stunned."
Gu Shen quickly smiled and said, "Thank you very much, Mr. Han, for your kindness."
The kinder Han Dang is in reality, the more approachable he is.
Gu Shen, who had seen through everything, felt even more frightened and apprehensive.
Obviously this man already possesses the extraordinary power to change his mind in dreams, and there is no need to act or disguise, but he still puts on a mask and enjoys people's admiration endlessly.
Dream or reality, which one is Han Dang's true self?
"polite."
Han Dang smiled and patted Gu Shen on the shoulder: "It's my turn to thank you."
Seeing the "unexplained" confusion on Gu Shen's face, Han Dang smiled again, said nothing, just picked up his briefcase and left the orphanage briskly.
