Chapter 054 Interrogation 2
"But it's not easy to do this, so the Fujido Group needs a large number of people to conduct experiments. It is definitely unrealistic to arrest people directly, and large-scale disappearances will attract great attention. And this experiment of the Fujido Group will inevitably lead to collective interference from other large conglomerates."
"So the Fujido Group found the Spacetime Knights and established a cooperative relationship with them. The Spacetime Knights kidnapped some homeless vagrants for the Fujido Group to do research, and the Fujido Group used spacetime particles in return."
"I have done some investigations on the Todou Group bases in the wild, but so far I have not been able to get very far. So I have been tracking down the lone members of the Todou Group."
"It wasn't until we caught this ascetic that we were able to extract some information from him."
Chen She suddenly realized.
Once the Naraku plan came out, many things were connected together.
He originally thought that the Space-Time Knights captured these homeless people in order to supplement their combat power, but now it seems that is not the case. Many of the homeless people were sent to the Fujido Group in exchange for space-time particles.
Thinking of this, Chen She couldn't help but feel a little scared. If he didn't have some special connection with the Knights of Time and Space, then Xia Lirong might not be able to come back. He would either be developed into a follower of the Knights of Time and Space, or become a guinea pig for the Fujitang Group's experiments.
This incident also made Chen She even more certain that the people in the Space-Time Knights were absolutely unreliable.
This matter must have been secretly instigated by Grantham. In other words, for the sake of space-time particles, these people of the Space-Time Knights can actually do anything, even if it means sending these innocent homeless people into the fire pit!
As expected, apart from the resistance army, most other powerful people in this world, whether they are big capitalists or the Knights of Time and Space, do not care about the lives of these ordinary people at all.
However, Chen She had a piece of information that Aunt Li didn't know, which was that the Space-Time Knights and the Fujitang Group had fallen out.
Because of the previous cooperation, the Space-Time Knights knew that the Fujido Group stored a large amount of space-time particles in its warehouse, so when their performance failed to meet the target, they came up with the idea of directly robbing the Fujido Group's warehouse.
After all, it is too troublesome to catch homeless people one by one, so it is more straightforward to directly snatch the space-time particles.
Aunt Li added, "Oh yes, he also said that this time it's not just the Fujitang Group that's targeting you, but also the Changye Entertainment Group. But the Fujitang Group obviously underestimated your strength."
"In the short term, I still suggest that you do not act rashly. Play it safe. Before the Fujido Group completes the Naraku Plan, they will not take any large-scale actions against you."
Chen She couldn't help but shake his head slightly, thinking, you are underestimating our resistance army by saying that.
Is that safe? That's just sitting there and waiting for death.
Aunt Li didn't say anything more. She looked at the ascetic and said, "Take him away. If you can prove his relationship with Fujido Group, it should be helpful for you to win the war of public opinion."
"Whether you intervene or not, I will deal with the Fujido Group in my own way, so there is no need for us to cooperate deliberately. Of course, if you can find a way to weaken the power of the Fujido Group, I would certainly be more than happy to do so."
Chen She nodded and looked at Zhang Sirui: "Take him back to the headquarters and interrogate him first."
…
After returning to the Chen Group's headquarters, the ascetic was imprisoned next to the tamperer.
Although Aunt Li has already obtained some information, it is still necessary to re-interrogate her to verify the authenticity of the information.
Although it is true that this ascetic is related to the Fujido Group, how to prove this is still a problem.
Hand it over to DCPD? But whether DCPD dares to mess with Fujido Group is still unknown.
Maybe this ascetic died mysteriously by then, leaving no evidence.
Even if the ascetic is handed over to the Skyline Network Group for interrogation, the Fujitang Group can still say that this is slander. After a war of words begins, it is not necessarily possible to gain the upper hand.
Therefore, Chen She had to consider carefully how to use this ascetic.
We still have to interrogate him first and completely break down his psychological defenses, then things will be easier afterwards.
Zhang Sirui volunteered to take on the interrogation task, while Chen She paced back and forth outside, thinking about the next strategy.
Chen She couldn't help but sigh. He was just an ordinary game tester before he traveled through time. How come he became the IQ representative of the resistance army here? He kept challenging the limits of his thinking ability. How could this make sense?
Just then, Zhao Zhen hurried over.
"Mr. Chen, I have some bad news."
"I just urged the Hi-Tech Group to deal with the chip and communication module issue, but they still said they would postpone it. I think there must be something wrong with this."
"It is very likely that someone is playing tricks and deliberately preventing Gaoke Group from selling chips and communication modules to us."
Chen She couldn't help but look gloomy.
I knew it wasn't that simple.
I just don’t know whether it was Changye Entertainment Group or Fujitang Group that reached a deal with Gaoke Group. They both have the motive to kill Lishan Technology’s new game cabin.
However, for Chen She, this was not unacceptable.
Firstly, the shackle bracelets and the game cabin he planned to produce were originally niche products. Although he invested in a new production line, he did not put all his assets on it. Even if it failed, it would not be a big deal, but it could reduce the risk of profit to a certain extent.
Secondly, he also made a plan in advance for this possible situation.
Chen She said: "It doesn't matter, then we will no longer consider Gaoke Group and buy batches of first-class chips and communication modules from other companies."
Zhao Zhen nodded: "This is the only way. Although inferior chips and communication modules will make our products uncompetitive, as long as we reduce the price slightly, we can minimize the loss."
Chen She added: "This batch of chips and communication modules must be delivered as soon as possible and delivered to me as soon as possible. In addition, purchase some space-time particles as a supplement. I will use them."
Zhao Zhen nodded, didn't ask any more questions, and did it immediately.
Time is running out. The production lines of the new factory, which rely on bracelets and Super Dream Game Pods, are still running normally, and a batch of goods have been piled up. Electronic products themselves have a strong timeliness. Once new products are launched, the old products will depreciate rapidly.
The chip backup of Gaoke Group has caused Lishan Technology to lose its advantage to a certain extent. If it is delayed any further, the loss will only increase. So we must race against time.
Chen She has made up his mind. He wants to try to use his ability as a creator to slightly modify these chips and communication modules.
It is not realistic to rub it directly by hand, because the internal structure of the chip and communication module is too complicated. This is the most advanced technology product of the Gaoke Group. Although Chen She is the creator, with his current strength, it is still very difficult for him to rub the latest chip directly by hand.
First buy a batch of first-rate chips to study them, and make some simple modifications, which may help to slightly save the fate of these two products.
…
The interrogation room was well soundproofed, but screams could still be heard faintly from time to time.
Chen She opened the security door and walked in.
Zhang Sirui was stunned for a moment: "Mr. Chen, why are you here? Leave the dirty work to me."
Chen She sat down on a seat beside him and said, "Just do your thing, don't worry about me."
Zhang Sirui didn't ask any more questions and continued to work.
Hearing screams one after another, Chen She endured the discomfort and forced himself to watch Zhang Sirui interrogate the ascetic.
The reason why Chen She walked in and faced this tragic scene was that he felt that he could no longer deliberately escape, but had to start actively adapting to this cruel situation.
Whether it was killing Buano or interrogating the enemy, it was a necessary stage in this environment. He was now the leader of the resistance army. If he had an emotional breakdown under extreme circumstances, the consequences would be disastrous, and it was likely that all the resistance fighters would suffer.
Being kind to the enemy is being cruel to oneself. Chen She must be strong. Only by becoming a ruthless person to the enemy can he successfully overcome every difficulty in the future.
However, Chen She found that he adapted faster than he thought.
Perhaps it was because he had a high psychic talent and a strong spiritual power, or it could be that Epsilon and synaesthesia were subtly influencing his mind. Chen She quickly suppressed this discomfort and could look at everything in front of him relatively calmly.
He found that although Zhang Sirui volunteered to take on the interrogation task, it was obvious that the rebels were not very good at this job.
Although Zhang Sirui was also torturing the other party, the profession of ascetic itself was known for its high tolerance.
Ascetics can endure physical and mental pain. This strong tolerance allows them to endure pain and kill enemies in combat or to persist for a long time during interrogation.
Chen She guessed that the reason why Aunt Li was able to make the ascetic speak successfully was probably because she used mental power through some hypnosis-like methods.
Zhang Sirui could only torture the ascetic physically through conventional means, but of course the results were minimal.
What's more, Zhang Sirui himself is not a vicious person, and he is not capable of carrying out some cruel and inhumane punishments.
At this moment, Chen She's mind moved and he entered his own world of consciousness.
…
The moment Chen She entered his own conscious world, he discovered that there seemed to be some subtle changes compared to before.
Time snow was falling in the sky.
Although Chen She can make any changes in his own conscious world, most of the phenomena are directly related to the manifestation of certain power in his conscious world.
Time snow represents space-time particles and synaesthesia power, which is definitely not a good phenomenon.
Epsilon was still sitting in front of the tea table, drinking tea leisurely, but this time there was no seat for Chen She opposite him.
"You've noticed it, right? Although you did limit my power through the embers, it only delayed the time by a few seconds. There will be no fundamental change."
"Because I have an inseparable connection with the world of time and space, I can still gain power from it. Although this process is slow at the beginning, these powers will continue to accumulate."
"Even without your help, my strength will continue to increase."
"The good news is that you can also use these powers and directly use some of the abilities of the Curse Scholar. I strongly recommend that you use it, because if you accumulate too much synaesthesia, you will be less able to suppress my power."
"But please note that every time I use my power, my power will grow faster in the future. So should I resist the urge to use this power, or should I squander it? This is really an interesting choice."
Chen She didn't say anything. He could tell from the changes in his world of consciousness that what Epsilon said was indeed true.
Epsilon's spirit was in the world of time and space, and what he showed up in Chen She's world of consciousness was just a projection. Due to this special connection, Epsilon's synaesthesia could be continuously transmitted from the world of time and space to Chen She's world of consciousness.
Previously, Chen She had accidentally solved the problem of improving his own abilities and suppressing Epsilon by upgrading the embers, but things were obviously not that simple. Epsilon had other ways to gain power.
Chen She could feel that as time went on, the snow accumulated more and more, and the black tide around him was also rising.
Chen She can use these powers to consume it, but the problem is that the more frequently it is used, the faster Epsilon gains power, which is a bit like the effect of drinking poison to quench thirst.
Chen She couldn't help but sigh. Just when he was about to go to sleep, someone handed him a pillow. It seemed that he would never return from the path of becoming a cult leader.
But what can he do? Facing the threat from the big consortium, Chen She had no other choice.
So he said "thank you" and then left his own conscious world.
Epsilon was stunned, he was a little bit unbelievable.
"Thanks?"
According to Epsilon's original idea, shouldn't Chen She be furious and cursing at this time? Or at least he should be in a dilemma, not knowing what to do.
Why did you say thank you?
Seeing that the script did not develop as he had expected, Epsilon could not help but feel disappointed. He stood there blankly, and even the tea in his hand had lost its fragrance.
…
Back in the real world, Chen She stood up and said to Zhang Sirui, "Third brother, you go out first. Leave this to me."
Zhang Sirui wiped the blood off his hands and said with some surprise: "Mr. Chen, this kind of dirty and tiring work is not suitable for you. There is no need to dirty your hands, let me do it."
Chen She shook his head: "You go out first."
Zhang Sirui didn't ask any more questions. Before leaving, he said, "Mr. Chen, call me anytime if you need anything."
After the security door was closed, Chen She began to look at the ascetic from a close distance.
Judging from his appearance, he looked somewhat similar to Fujido Yuki, and he should have lived a good life. At this time, his hands and feet were locked to the chair with alloy locks, and he was tortured to the point of dying, and basically no longer posed a great danger.
But even so, his eyes were still as firm as a lone wolf, which made Chen She doubt whether he would commit suicide in a minute if he let him go.
It has to be said that ascetics do have advantages in resisting torture that no other profession can match.
But Chen She did not intend to use the same torture method as Zhang Sirui.
Chen She took the space-time particles from his side and put his fingers into the container to absorb some of the power of the space-time particles.
Then he placed his right hand, which had absorbed the space-time particles, on the ascetic's left arm.
"From now on, you will witness with your own eyes the entire process of your left hand aging, decaying, and finally turning into bones."
The ascetic was stunned for a moment, seeming to be a little puzzled as to what Chen She was saying. Although he understood every word, he could not comprehend the true meaning when they were put together.
But the next second he understood.
Because he watched helplessly as his left hand, which was originally scarred but muscular, gradually became shriveled, as if it had aged dozens of years in just a few seconds.
But this was not the end, the hand continued to rot quickly, he could even see maggots crawling on it, and in the end only the bones were left. In the end, even the bones turned into ashes.
His entire left arm just disappeared in front of him.
Immediately afterwards, a pain that was difficult to express in words drilled into his brain, causing him to scream miserably.
This feeling was like his arm being severely burned, then skinned and cramped, and even the feeling of the insects drilling back and forth in his arm were mixed together and entered his brain at once. The various pains did not cover each other, and all appeared clearly in his consciousness, causing all his tolerance to collapse instantly.
Chen She leaned down and whispered in his ear: "I can make this process fast or slow. I can also let you slowly turn from a conscious corpse into bones over a year. I don't think that would be an enjoyable experience."
"Would you like to try it and share your experience with me?"
…
Outside the security door, Zhang Sirui felt a little uneasy.
He was a little worried that the ascetic still had some accumulated power, which might endanger Chen She's safety. At the same time, he felt that Chen She was wasting his time. After all, when it came to ruthlessness, Chen She was not as good as him.
What results can be obtained from this interrogation?
However, just as he was feeling anxious, the security door opened.
Chen She said calmly: "He confessed everything, go and record it."
