CHAPTER 63: INTERROGATION - INCOMING WAR

XENON WINGATE

PRESENT DAY - INTERROGATION

I can’t remove the grin on my face. Remembering that I have killed Cheng Du makes me want to jump in joy. If only I’m not restrained on an electric chair right now, I’ll be hosting a party in this grim dark room. My eyes are flaming with happiness.

“Cheng Du… Cheng Du is dead.” I laughed. “I knew it. I knew he would die in my very hands.”

[You needed Cheng Du alive! Why did you have to kill him!?] The interrogator raised his tone.

“I never needed Cheng Du alive. All I want in the very first place is for his corpse to be melted by a nuclear explosion.” I laughed.

[You didn’t think through your actions! Doctor Cheng Du is the inventor of the Psychic Amplifier, and Alterra needed him in custody to stop Eldritch’s plan! He has the best knowledge when it comes to the Psychic Amplifier, and yet, you killed him! We needed him alive!]

“I don’t care what you need!” I shouted at the interrogator even though I could not see him. “Cheng Du is dead, and he deserved to die! With the Psychic Amplifier destroyed by Lady Danielle Keine, it doesn't matter anymore!”

[It does matter, Xenon. Danielle Keine only destroyed the prototype. The world domination schemes are held by Michael Eldritch. Even though Cheng Du is dead, his plans will still commence. Only Cheng Du can tell us everything we needed, but your reckless and selfish actions made it impossible to obtain the information we want.]

“Stop crying over spilled milk.” I mocked the interrogator. “That happened a year ago, and no matter how you torture me, the dead ain’t gonna come back.”

There was a long silence as if the interrogator is in deep thought himself. Or maybe he's checking the files for the next questions he wanted to ask. This gave me enough time to catch my breath. My sweat is getting cold, and my body is getting a little weaker. The Memory Reading device is straining my brain, and I can even feel my magic being sucked every time I get a flashback.

Fleeing this scene is almost impossible. I wanted to break free and save Serena from the hands of these pussies who are hiding their faces in the dark, but I will admit that I don’t have the power to do so.

[During the operation, we saw from your memories that you met Sakuradrop. Everything from then on, your memories became corrupted, and you were next seen during the fight against Lothar Pendragon. Tell me, Xenon. What happened during the gaps in your memories? You did not kill Sakuradrop or stole her eyes as Necross Messiah instructed. What happened during your encounter with her?]

“How should I know?” I scoffed. “You said it yourself. My memories have been corrupted. Even if I think through it, all that appears in my mind are blank.”

There was silence again. It took about five seconds until the interrogator concluded that I’m not telling a lie. He has a lie detector test after all.

[Let’s move on. The death of Cheng Du made a lot of implications between Alterra and Elysia, mainly their political relationship. Emperor Michael Eldritch was extremely furious for his loyal subject’s death, and it became a main trigger for the incoming war to come.]

Suddenly, the hologram globe flashed a video clip containing a broadcast from Elysian Royal Castle more than a year ago. There, Eldritch is seen standing on the podium, with his wife Trystgade standing behind him. His filthy mouth came out convincing lies that made every idiotic people believe in him.
