Zosia: Quick Transmigration System -
Chapter 74 - 72- Vindication in progress
"Something, just wasn't adding up." Holliste muttered to herself.
While she was watching the footage, Zosia was being carried to the cell, Sara was in.
Arriving at the cell, she looked at Sara that was sitting in the corner of the cell, her sharp eyes scanned Sara and she confirmed it was really the blue being she had met.
The electronic cell door opened. Zosia's eyes looked at the mode at which it was being opened and lowered her head. A curl on her lips formed as she thought of a plan.
"You! How dare you frame me?" She shouted and charged at Sara. The officer by the side pushed her and slammed her back on the panel for opening the electronic door.
Zosia immediately activated InfoLink which had the ability to bypass virtual passwords and dig up information. Since the password has already been keyed in, it was even easier.
Since, only a part of her body needed to be in contact with it. Her back that was slammed on it, could do justice to that.
"You better respect yourself, else the cell you would be transferred to will be worse than this." The officer warned while pointing a baton to her face.
The baton looked different from the normal baton but she called it a baton since all of them had a general function, which was to make the prisoners obey either by electric or a surge of soul power suction.
Thinking about it, she shivered.
"But, she was the one that framed me. I was getting ready for my next mission and now it has been put in hold.
Do you know what it means when I am only a few hours away from upgrading my level. I even spent a lot of money just to treat her despite her being the one that called me out." She retorted. Her face twisted in anger.
The officer was about to retort when a familiar voice was heard.
"You said she called you out? Tell me what happened and why you didn't say it in the interrogation?" Nelson questioned.
Zosia looked at him, her face returning to the previous calmness which caused Nelson to chuckle.
"Futile calmness." He muttered under his breath.
He believes that Zosia was only feigning calmness and with her previous display, he knew that the Captain made the right choice by putting them together. It would make them spill the truth in their fight.
As for what he said before about her looking like the victim, it was only to counter Julieann.
"First, I was not questioned on how I knew her. Everyone's assumptions is that I am her ally? But How?" Zosia said.
Her temper subtly revealing itself.
"I was quite surprised by how I was arrested and why, and after the interrogation and all that, I started questioning you all ability.
Cos, I don't understand how after seeing my space, I was termed a terrorist and since I met her, that the points I got was from trading with them."
Nelson raised and eyebrow, he was intrigued by her words but he couldn't listen without recording it.
"Follow me." He commanded and led Zosia back to the interrogation room.
"Sit." He ordered Zosia to sit and left.
Zosia stared at his leaving back, thoughts roaming in her mind as she went through the data of the lock in the prison cell.
The last one she was in was a manual one, so she couldn't do anything about it.
She noticed that the source code for it was the source code for others, so it would be easier to hack.
Thud!
As she was lost in thought, she heard the sound of a water bottle hitting the table.
"You were lost in thought. Are you thinking of how to lie to me?"
"No." Zosia raised her head and answered, her eyes meeting his. Zosia had only wanted to say that but she suddenly felt something strange in Nelson's eyes that seemed to compell her to talk.
She decided to go along with it. It would be more believable.
"No. I was thinking of if maybe I hadn't obeyed my guide's words to go wipe my emotions, maybe I wouldn't meet her in the first place."
"Hmm. You have a guide? I thought you said you had a chip. Chips don't usually come with guides."
"Really? Well I was meant to get a guide but then the Soul world was experiencing an influx in new souls, so they gave a chip to manage and that I would receive a guide later."
"So your guide visited you that day? So the guide is someone you share with others?"
"Yes."
Nelson nodded his head. He felt that this was heading somewhere.
"Why did he come to visit you?"
"He noticed my emotional fluctuations and immediately came and asked me to go do a memory or emotional wipe instead of going for the next mission and that I should rest.
The rest was what I had today and was planning to go for the next mission and then, I was arrested."
Nelson became intrigued and sat down, drawing closer to Zosia.
"Tell me, why was your emotional fluctuations, high?"
"I had just finished a mission and in that mission, I had gotten attached to the people there and something happened and the host I inhabited may die." Zosia closed her eyes, but it still didn't hide some body reactions that showed how traumatic it was.
"That was my second mission as a Realmrider despite it not being a main one and I am not yet used to the seperations."
Nelson nodded his head in understanding. It made sense that the Guide would feel it and order her to do the emotion wipe. As he stared at her, he was sure that the guide must have told her memory wipe but from the attachment she was feeling, she probably disagreed and finally agreed on emotion wipe.
"So where did you meet Sara?" He asked.
"Okay, I had just gotten my number for when to enter next for the emotion wipe when the blue being sat beside me.
I was surprised and wanted to shift but to avoid looking like it was discriminatory, I could only sit and pray for my time to reach faster.
I didn't even know her name or anything, she started telling me about her problems etc. I didn't want to listen and wanted to tell her to shut up. I haven't even dealt with mine, is it hers I will have to endure or start listening to. She didn't even get the hint to shut up, she kept talking.
When it was finally my turn. I was so grateful and wanted to immediately go but she held me back and said, she didn't have any friends which is why she had been talking and complaining, that she was sorry.
I told her ok and wanted to leave, then she asked for my number.
I contemplated giving her my Chat id number but my emotions were also fragile and since she was the first blue being I was seeing, it wouldn't hurt to make new friends, so i agreed.
That was how we met."
Nelson nodded his head. "So Sara made use of the window in your emotions?"
"Yes."
He believed what she had said, since she was under his spell, she couldn't lie.
"When I was preparing to go for the second main mission, she chatted me up. She asked if I could drink with her that after the Memory wipe she had, she was feeling empty and I said okay since a friend, someone who helped me in explaining some things when my guide wasn't with me, said he was back from his own mission.
I decided, let's all meet so I would be able to go for the second mission immediately.
When we met, my friend had already called others. He called for two more friends with their guide.
I asked why and he told me that anyone that sees me with a sub being, I could end up going to the Oblivion.
I asked Sara if it was true and she acknowledged it. I was angry. Why did she then call me out? what did she need? Why did she want to put me inside trouble? Was there any need for that hate?" Zosia's voice rose by a few decibels, displaying her anger and disappointment.
I decided to pay for everyone as If not for them turning up, maybe you people wouldn't even listen to me and I would have been thrown into the Oblivion."
Nelson nodded his head in agreement. Everything she said aligned with what they had found out and since she was under his spell, he was made to believe that this person was thrown to their radar to give the main person a leeway to escape.
"So why didn't you immediately go for the mission you wanted to go for?"
"I wanted to visit the library. I didn't have much money and I want to learn how to cultivate my soul and learn some things about the soul world. If my friend hadn't helped me, it would have been worse yesterday. So I left the space and decided to stroll, any shop I enter, I would ask for the library direction.
I asked my friend and he said he doesn't know since he always threw himself into missions, he hadn't considered that."
Nelson looked at Zosia and felt a hint of pity for her. Indeed, no one knew of the library and her thinking of going to the library to see if she could get any for free, he understood that mentality very well. It was the mentality of those who had no money.
But what about the luxury furnitures she had?
"Your furnitures? If you do not have money, how did you get them."
"My first main mission, my reward was a furniture and survival packet, so those things are rewards gotten from it."
"Oh!" He finally understood.
She wasn't the first to receive such. He had once reviewed a fighting gear during a lucky draw chance, and that was the worst among the stuff he got. So he could imagine her getting only furniture and some measly points after an adrous mission.
"Alright. Stay here " he said and cut off the spell.
"Huh? Ah! My head aches." Zosia said as she clutched her head.
Nelson glanced at her, her actions was the finally click that made him believe that the spell wasn't being countered.
Zosia had allowed the spell to take effect but she was still able to say what she wanted to say. So, the after effect was real.
If it were others, they may have directly fainted.
Nelson left the interrogation room. He needed to bring his findings to the Captain.
The real person was still on the run.
