Chapter 114: Chapter 85: Star of Tomorrow_2

"Of course, it’s because I have special interrogation skills,"

All five Inspectors cast their gaze towards him at once.

"What skills?"

Rod had no choice but to bite the bullet and relay the psychological techniques, interrogation methods, and classical strategies similar to the prisoner’s dilemma that he had learned.

To his surprise, the Inspectors were so enthralled that after he finished, they even seemed eager for more, "Is there anything else?"

"That’s all, I only know so much, it’s all my own speculation," Rod replied.

An Inspector sighed lightly, "We professionals seem to know less than a student, perhaps we’ve relied too much on the method of extracting souls."

"That’s right, we can’t always rely on special interrogations; methods beyond the soul also need to be developed," another agreed.

An Inspector praised, "Truly a genius. Are you interested in a career at the Internal Affairs Court?"

Lauren coughed to interject, "Let’s discuss this incident first."

Rod was still a prime suspect in the Redstone Village migration case, a matter that was still highly confidential and known only to a few.

One of the Inspectors said excitedly:

"This is the biggest Doomsday believer case we’ve cracked today! A complete stronghold! Right in the High Court District! Who would have thought, no wonder we never found it!"

"You’ve made a big contribution! We will report your deeds to the Academy, and you’ll receive rewards and commendations. If you’re willing to join the Internal Affairs Court after graduation, this will count as a significant merit in your favor," the Inspector explained.

Moved by the notion, Rod asked, "If I don’t join, is that it?"

The Inspector chuckled and replied, "Of course not, our system of merits and honors is very well established; you have nothing to worry about."

Only Lauren noticed the thought at the bottom of his heart and said, "When you become a formal Combatant, you can cash in your honors, and not a fraction less."

Only then did Rod show a smile.

One Inspector stood up and announced, "That concludes our questioning; this is an account of your mission. If there are no issues, please sign it, and if anything comes up, we will come to check with you."

Rod nodded and signed his name on the document.

After the four Inspectors left, Lauren deliberately stayed behind, his grey eyes calmly watching over him.

"Rod, I’ve heard about what you’ve been through recently, I’m sorry I couldn’t come to help you," he said.

Rod hurriedly responded, "It’s okay, Mr. Lauren, I’m fine. How’s the case investigation going? The fake regional governor Alex who provided false testimony has had her identity exposed, so her slander against me definitely won’t count, right? And if I’ve been framed by the Polluter Sect, that should prove I’m a good person, right?"

Lauren replied calmly,

"Rod, things aren’t as simple as you think. We don’t know by what means the Polluter Sect can alter a person’s destiny."

"What’s worse is we don’t know the limits of their methods. Can they alter the destinies of higher-ups? Can they influence more people? Do we have any more such altered individuals among us?"

"All these questions remain unanswered, and all we can do is act with greater caution and prudence."

"The complicated part about your situation is that you lost your memory. We’ve found a lot of information about you and have been observing you for a long time. Now you are completely like a new person; whether it’s your personality, hobbies, or habits, there is no similarity at all. You used to be very lecherous, spending all the money you earned in the Red Workshop district. Your name was well known in the three Red Workshops, and many girls were even willing to be with you without charging a fee."

"But now, you haven’t even kissed a girl who likes you. There’s a theory among us that your soul has been swapped, possibly by some Evil God or unknown entity. Their suggestion is to directly destroy you to avoid unpredictable risks."

Rod was startled, his back breaking out in a sudden, dense cold sweat.

He hadn’t expected to reveal a flaw here.

But he had been in a great life-or-death crisis all the time. How could he have the mood to flirt with girls?

Even if it was about indulging in humanity, how much humanity could one satisfy in a night?

I can gain much more in other ways.

Just wait for me to get through this crisis, then I’ll show you!

He hurriedly explained, "It’s not that I don’t want to, but Kashan is very violent. If I touch her, she beats me up, and I can’t beat her."

Lauren’s gray eyes looked at him with a slight smile.

"Oh, is that so? I’ll pass that on to Mibor. He’s worried about his daughter being bullied on one hand and concerned that you are just playing and might hurt Kashan’s heart on the other. You have to understand a father’s dilemma."

Rod was stunned.

"What do you mean? Was what you just said not true?"

Lauren said seriously, "It’s true, but that theory is too ridiculous. No one believes it. We think it’s the amnesia that has changed you. Forget the past, and you will forget your habits; the personality formed by those habits will also change. This is the conclusion given by the experts of the Jinworth Psychological Association, and we have adopted it."

Rod took a long sigh of relief in his heart.

Thank goodness, thank you Jinworth Psychological Association, thank you, Mr. Lauren, for trusting me, thank you, experts.

"However, the biggest issue at the moment is what you’ve done. We now have fairly solid evidence that you helped the Polluter Sect transport a box of supplies."

"But, just this action alone cannot prove that you are a Doomsday believer or their accomplice. The Polluter Sect often pays unknowing civilians to help them with their work. Clearly, these civilians can’t be considered accomplices as they lack the ability to discern their employers, and as long as their actions don’t violate the laws of the Royal City, we generally don’t pursue it."

"Now, our investigation regarding you is focused on whether you were aware at the time."

Rod quickly said, "Of course I wasn’t aware."

Lauren said with a smile, "Your merit will make this statement more believable. The information you’ve provided this time is very important. We finally know the two plans they’re executing – the Savior Plan and the Eclipse Plan. Although we don’t know the specific details of the plans, at least we have a direction for the investigation."

He stood up, gently patting Rod’s shoulder.

"Sister Youse has prepared a new healing scheme for you. You can visit in the near future. I hope you can provide us with more useful information. The more significant your role in eradicating the Polluter Sect, even if some minor illegal actions are discovered in the end, we won’t pursue them."

"Remember, you are under the protection of Qingyu. She has used her privilege to tie you to our camp. The better you perform, the faster she can advance in the future."

"Please do your best, and if you run into trouble, use the Spirit Crow Messenger to send me a message."

Lauren walked out of the room, waving goodbye to him.

"I’m looking forward to your performance, our future rising star."
