Chapter 507: Interrogation (6400 Bonus)

Enide was still in astonishment, only to discover that the Hyena leader had already knelt down, as if he had seen the deity he worshipped.

"This lord, your humble servant is willing to serve you."

The Hyena leader, who had been ferocious and evil just before, now seemed to have devolved from a wolf into a husky, making Enide inexplicably want to laugh.

But seeing the bloody scene around her and the corpses of her companions on the ground, she could not laugh at all.

"I need to know some things."

Aaron got straight to the point: "When did the apocalypse arrive?"

"Sorry... my lord, ever since the alternation of day and night disappeared completely, I have forgotten normal time, but it should have been more than ten years..."

The Hyena leader's eyes lit up immediately, and he shouted: "This lord, do not be deceived by this woman, she is lying to you!"

Enide quickly thought through the situation, pricked up her ears, and prepared to listen carefully to the next questions from this big shot.

"Very good, it seems you also recognize Spirit Material..."

This newly appeared Extraordinary of High Primordial Quality might not be an emissary of justice.

'He deliberately left the two of us behind just because we have hatred for each other and would definitely betray one another, or even expose the falsehoods in each other's words?'

Aaron was a bit enlightened, and also a bit vigilant: "The flow of time in the two histories may not be consistent... but it should all be something that happened recently."

She found it truly hard to imagine how many tragic and inhumane things this Hyena leader had encountered during the apocalypse, to the point that even a slight recollection would trigger a loss of control!

Roar!

Although he did not know why this terrifying high-level existence would ask such simple questions, the Hyena leader knew very well that his life and death were in the other's hands, and he had to please him.

'I didn't expect that the most insidious and the most powerful Hours would be the first to fall when the apocalypse arrived?'

Enide saw that spike, and her eyes could not help but light up.

Enide let out a scream; she did not feel much joy, but instead felt a bone-chilling cold.

Aaron's voice became heavy: "And then?"

Hmm, after the apocalypse arrived, etiquette had long since collapsed, and only the simplest and most direct violence ran rampant!

Enide immediately spoke quickly, receiving a hateful glare from the Hyena leader, but she knew this was her only chance, and she quickly recalled the content she knew: "According to a group of wandering apocalypse believers... the apocalypse is the punishment of the Hours of the Spirit World, it is the Gods Beyond the World punishing the faithless in the Mortal World!"

A trace of deep fear appeared on the Hyena leader's face: "Before the apocalypse... those Hours who ruled the Spirit World fell one after another, first the 'Mother of Nights' who presided over January, followed by the 'Lord of Hidden Corpses' of February, and then the 'Daybreak' of March..."

'If I am of no use to him, perhaps the next moment, this big shot will leave and throw me to the Hyena leader.'

Sharp black spikes broke through his skin one by one, continuously growing on his face, his limbs, and his torso...

Enide answered immediately, her expression very calm.

Behind this woman, there was at least one fairly high-level Extraordinary standing!

Perhaps from the other's mouth, she could know more about the truth of the apocalypse!

"Then... it was the Spirit World invading reality... weird curses broke out in major cities, and the most densely populated places died out first... only a few people in the Wasteland managed to survive... but this was not luck, but the beginning of suffering. Under the apocalypse, no one could be spared... food shortages, climate anomalies, curses, Mythical Creatures, Spirit World erosion... each one could easily take the lives of humans and even Extraordinaries; everything was darkness, and no hope could be seen..."

"These... these Talismans were obtained during a trade, I didn't see the trader's face."

"Oh?"

A sense of emotion arose in Aaron's heart.

In his view, 'Daybreak' was undoubtedly the strongest of those Hours, while 'Mother of Nights' was perhaps the most gloomy one.

Only one black spike became deeper in color, landing in the ashes.

After catching the linguistic loophole of that female Scavenger, he retaliated without hesitation.

"He... he lost control?"

This made Enide feel a violent threat.

Although Enide was very tempted, she did not dare to act while looking at Aaron.

Not to mention anything else, even if He obtained the tacit approval of most of the Lords again, if I don't nod, He will still fail!

'This world... has indeed experienced something extremely terrifying.'

Aaron casually flicked a 'Furnace Fire', and the semi-out-of-control monster was touched by a bit of it, immediately wrapped in pure white flames, and turned into ashes in an instant...

"Several years or even more than ten years?"

Hmm, even if he could not achieve Changsheng, he possessed a long life that exceeded that of ordinary humans.

"You are lying!"

The Hyena leader answered immediately.

Aaron seemed to be interested, ignoring Enide's pale complexion: "Then... what is the truth?"

Yet he did not expect that just by changing to a different historical development, there would be such a vastly different ending.

As the Hyena leader spoke, his pupils became stained with a trace of Scarlet.

The reason for leaving this woman behind was entirely because these special Talismans had aroused Aaron's interest.

Having an unbearable past is not a reason for doing evil.

Sure enough, the next moment Aaron let her know that there is no free lunch in this world: "And in return... you must tell me the origin of these Banyan Leaf Talismans on you."

Aaron smiled: "It is your reward..."

If it were an ordinary person, perhaps they would know nothing about the existence of the Hidden Realm, so what kind of intelligence could they have?

"I know this."

As for the 'Keeper of Secrets'?

Perhaps His ultimate move to trace back the history of 'Sun Fall' was very powerful, but there were too many restrictions, and it was basically impossible to reproduce...

This was also the reason why he found these two people.

For him, who was about to achieve Changsheng, a dozen years was indeed a relatively short period of time.

Aaron felt no guilt at all for killing that Hyena leader; after all, he knew how heinous he was from the other's previous words.

At the very least, with this woman's strength—not having opened the First Primordial Substance and only accumulating Spirituality—she could not have made them even if she killed someone.

The Hyena leader, well-versed in this unspoken rule, naturally understood that the weak must obey the rules of the strong.

Aaron thought for a moment and asked again: "Regarding the cause of the apocalypse... do you know anything? What major event happened in the Spirit World at that time?"

However, as Aaron looked at her, his expression carried a playful tone: "You are lying!"

At his rank, his intuition of Spirituality was already capable of discerning many truths.

Not to mention, he could also directly use a Banyan Leaf Talisman for divination.

Or even, utilize more bizarre means to knock open this woman's mental walls!
