Chapter 237: Chapter 172: A Heart-Wrenching Scene_2
“His right hand and everything below the elbow vanished into thin air, along with a special operations report.”
“This was the first case committed by Amputator Burshman against the Military Department.”
“Take a good look at the content above, and then answer me, the crime scene in this photo, do you have any recollection of it?”
Lynn didn’t hesitate and shrugged his shoulders.
At the same time, some speculation began to form in his mind.
Seeing this, Xiya didn’t seem surprised and continued to make notes in the notebook beside him.
Then, he pushed the second photo forward, “Ashley Laurent, a candidate soldier from the Special Service Department, mysteriously disappeared from her dormitory two months ago. When she was found again, she had been horrifically dissected, yet this time the entire left leg was missing.”
“It seems the perpetrator has a special fondness for the victim’s limbs; in our view, there are two possible reasons for choosing such a brutal method of operation.”
“One, to complete some kind of Ascension Trial for the ‘evil’ faith, to spread panic widely, becoming a horrifying tale that people dare not speak of.”
“Two, in order to become complete themselves, thus committing indiscriminate murders continuously, solely to select the limbs they desire.”
“Lynn Bartleion, in your view, which of these two possibilities better fits the true purpose of the limb connector’s actions?”
Xiya’s gaze was sharply upon him, seemingly trying to detect guilt and abnormality from the depth of his eyes.
Was this an attempt to portray him as a Demon Clan killer with a second personality?
Lynn instantly understood.
Unfortunately, it was useless.
Lynn replied in the same way.
Seeing this, Xiya continued writing something in the notebook.
After a while, he pushed the third photograph toward him: “Kyle Pereya…”
For the next ten minutes, the two of them repeated the question-and-answer sequence like machines.
However, no matter what Xiya asked, Lynn’s response was always no comment.
Finally, after inquiring about all the photos on the table, Xiya closed the notebook.
It seemed to be fruitless.
And there wasn’t much time left for the interrogation given by the substitute punisher.
That’s when Xiya recalled his main purpose for coming.
“Before ending this interrogation, I have a personal question to ask you.” A cold glint suddenly emerged in his eyes, “Last night… did you and Tiya meet?”
Since Xiya had left the scene first, he did not know that Lynn had appeared there.
It was only after he found out about this afterward that he sensed something was amiss.
Lynn still had that irritating smirk.
Xiya took a deep breath, as if finally angered by that expression.
Or perhaps, everything until now had been irrelevant to him, and he was merely going through the motions, so he didn’t feel the outrage.
So, under Lynn’s watch, he slowly stood up.
Due to the special nature of Punisher Prison, the entire area was under the suppression of Sealed Objects, which prevented the use of Extraordinary Abilities, to prevent the horrendously evil criminals from rioting.
As such, nothing but physical strength could be relied upon.
Even Xiya was no exception.
But in some ways, this was where he excelled.
“The first phase of the interrogation is over.” Xiya slowly undid his cuffs, revealing his muscular arms, “Next, is the personal questioning time of this interrogator.”
“I seldom have the chance to engage in physical combat with someone; it’s been a while, and I’m a bit out of practice.”
“But don’t worry, before the interrogators sent from the Three Great Churches arrive, I will end all this.”
In an instant, as if imbued with the might of a giant dragon, a punch as heavy as iron barrels rushed towards Lynn’s abdomen!
The sound of the howling wind engulfed the entire interrogation room, creating a dull noise.
Lynn instinctively raised his hand to block the heavy punch.
After all, Lynn was in possession of an authentic Burning Flame Giant Dragon’s Heart, with every beat of his heart, Dragon Blood constantly enhanced his body.
In a sense, Lynn’s appearance was extremely deceptive.
Looking at the effects of his skills, his ability lacked direct combat methods and tended towards concepts.
But to truly believe that would be a big mistake.
The real human-shaped ancient dragon was actually him.
At least with his current strength, without using Extraordinary Abilities, deflecting Xiya’s attack was not difficult.
For a Transcendent, physical strength was the least important aspect.
Compared to others, Xiya’s physical strength was already considered top-notch.
Therefore, Lynn felt somewhat eager inside, wanting to break free from the handcuffs and have a fight with this fated male protagonist, to see who was stronger.
After all, this was a rare opportunity to ban the bug-like Extraordinary Abilities of the opponent.
However, upon realizing the implication of Xiya’s words just now, the hand that was about to rise suddenly stopped in place.
The Three Great Churches would send interrogators too?
Does that mean the Silent Church was among them?
In an instant, the image of a cold and indifferent silhouette, like a puppet, unconsciously surfaced in Lynn’s mind.
A barely perceptible smile curled at the corner of Lynn’s mouth, a shadowy thought emerging.
