Chapter 93: 92 Bandage and Questions

92 Bandage and Questions

「……」

So you haven't even thought about what you want me to do, and you want to write a slip to second me?

Stunned by Leon's flashy operation, but thinking that this was likely the last opportunity to investigate the original incident, after clenching her fists several times, the female police officer finally accepted the cooperation with the "bastard rebel," answering with a stiff face:

「You just fill in 'Assist in investigation'… speaking of which, are you really on field duty? And you are also going to the Laien family? What are you going to the Laien family to do? 」

「Why do you have so many questions? These are all secret matters, don't ask about things you shouldn't! 」

After retorting to the female police officer, Leon, who felt much more comfortable, filled out the approval slip with a flourish, stuffed it directly into her pocket, then pointed to the female prisoner pinned against the carriage wall, and put forward his first request.

「Loosen your hand a little, let me see the bandage on her wrist! 」？？？

Although she didn't understand what Leon wanted to do, seeing that he only extended one finger and seemed to just want to touch the bandage, the female police officer didn't stop him, but slightly loosened her hand that was pinning the female prisoner's arm.

「Sizzle…」

【Name: Plague-Infected Blood Bandage (Corruption, Healing)】

【Appearance: An old bandage stained with a large amount of blood; on the gauze used to bind the bleeding point in the center, there still remains a large amount of dark brown old bloodstains, and if you sniff closely, you can smell a faint salty taste】

【Ability: Actively wraps around any living target, taking away their health and causing them to rot and decay rapidly, but when used correctly, it can also quickly heal all external wounds below the level of "amputated limb"】

【Cost: When used, an unbearable sharp pain will come from the root of the right leg, making it almost impossible to walk】

【File: A bandage taken from the corpse of a soldier who died of injury and illness; every strand of gauze cotton in this bandage has been soaked in the painful tears of the soldier's wife】

【Evaluation: Bloodstains born from protection have not yet successfully conveyed the deceased's wishes, but the tears overflowing with hatred are repeatedly tormenting the living soul】

【Infection Value: 1.1】

「……」

Another "dual-characteristic" anomalous object?

After reading the ability description of this bandage, Leon could not help but frown slightly, feeling a bit strange. Like the 【Apartment of Parasitic Spirits】, the two abilities of this bandage were also somewhat unrelated, or even completely opposite.

And looking at the file and evaluation, the "creator" of this anomalous object might not just be that dead investigator, but most likely included the female prisoner who was being pinned down.

If he hadn't guessed wrong, her husband's will to struggle for survival and his concern for his family should have given birth to the bandage's healing ability.

As for the source of the other half of the corruption ability, it was most likely the female prisoner's bone-deep hatred and the resentment of wanting her enemies to feel the pain her husband suffered before he died.

Although this formation process looked "reasonable," the vast majority of anomalous objects were born from pure and extreme emotions.

And pure meant it was difficult to be complex; the probability of two emotions like "love" and "hate" being entrusted to an item at the same time was not zero, but it required both emotions to be strong enough and of basically equal degree; logically speaking, it should be extremely rare, but this was already the second one he had encountered.

So… this wouldn't also have something to do with that Water Bottle Director, would it?

Following this faint sense of familiarity, Leon, with his brows locked, leaned in closer, holding the intention of trying his luck, and asked in a low voice:

「I ask you, have you ever seen a person with long, narrow eyes, eyebrows and corners of the mouth tilted downward, and a face that is naturally crying? 」？！！！

They really knew!

Hearing Leon's inquiry, the female prisoner could not help but look stern, and thinking of the suddenly ineffective bandage, she finally completely confirmed her previous judgment.

There is a traitor in the organization! And it is likely not an ordinary traitor; the position might be higher than hers! It might even be one of the core members who also obtained power!

Damn it! Who is the traitor!

……

Although the female prisoner gritted her teeth and didn't make a sound, giving no response, her stubborn resistance, in front of Leon who possessed soul vision, had no meaning at all.

Good fellow, it seems she really has had contact? So that Water Bottle Director is still creating anomalies?

Watching the female prisoner's soul instantly become panicked after hearing his question, Leon could not help but take a deep breath, subconsciously clenching his fists, and immediately continued to ask:

「How did you meet him? Did he take the initiative to find you? 」

「I don't know what you are talking about! 」

「Sure enough, he took the initiative to find you! 」

After learning the answer through the reaction of her soul, Leon's brows could not help but lock again, and amidst the female prisoner's panicked expression, he continued to ask sternly:

「Tell me! Is it just you alone who has a relationship with him, or is it your entire rebel group? 」

「I said, I don't know what you are talking about! 」

「……」

No… why are you interrogating her? Isn't this my job? Then what exactly am I here for?

While Leon and the female prisoner were answering questions quickly, the female police officer on the side was completely confused, and could not help but ask in a low voice:

「Leon… what exactly are you…」

「Don't make trouble, hold her down! 」

After glaring at the tool person, signaling her not to interrupt, watching the female prisoner's soul that didn't change this time, Leon pondered for a while, then changed to a different way of asking:

「If these two answers are both wrong… then it means that not many people know about that person's existence or have seen him, but in your rebel group, there is indeed a group of people who obtained power from him? 」

「……」

Even now, she hadn't figured out how she had revealed the truth in the first two questions; the female prisoner simply gritted her teeth and held on without making a sound, so as not to be inferred the answer from her tone and demeanor.

However, although she didn't make a sound, her soul, which began to fluctuate again, directly told Leon the correct answer.

「It seems there is indeed a group of people who have had contact with him… then are there many of these people? Very few? Not too many? 」

「……」

「It seems not too many… tell me, people like you, added up, did they reach fifty? Thirty? Twenty? Ten? More than ten, right? 」

「? 」

「Did they reach fifteen? Twelve? Thirteen? Oh, it turns out to be twelve! 」

「?? 」

There are actually twelve people?

Relying on the changes in the female prisoner's soul, Leon quickly obtained the number of people who had obtained anomalies, and with a tight heart, he hurriedly continued to ask:

「What level are those people? Are most of them stronger than you? 」

「？？？」

「It seems they are all stronger than you… then how many are stronger than you? Three? Five? Seven? 」

「！！！」

He is also! He is also that kind of person!

Even though she held on without saying a word the whole time, after revealing the intelligence in one breath, the female prisoner, who was asked until she almost collapsed, finally understood what she had encountered.

Although she didn't know how this person managed to do it, she was afraid that as long as she was still alive, she wouldn't be able to keep any secrets in front of him!

「Go to hell!!! 」

After letting out a hysterical roar, she actually risked her arm being dislocated, her upper body suddenly leaned back, the back of her head slammed into the female police officer's chest, and then her body suddenly arched back, slamming forcefully against the hard iron carriage wall!
