Trickster Hunter.

Chapter 392 Motive
“…” Ye Jiu was speechless.

This is not his ability at all, this is clearly the ability to kill!
It's like a heavy engineering mecha with dozens of tons of thrust, which can easily lift a whole concrete precast slab... but after removing the body, you ask the driver to lift something of the same weight for you? Are you sure the driver won't treat you like a fool?
Unless the pilot's name is Dongfang Bubai or Domon Kaxiu.

Ye Jiu remembered very clearly that when the figure was chopped into pieces, Shafa was lying right inside the special weapon box that was under a ban.

It is impossible for it to break through the restriction, because if it breaks through the restriction, it will not be possible for it to regain its sanity later.

Not to mention that Ye Jiu deliberately glanced at the safety lock on the box before coming out. He was absolutely sure that the box had never been opened during the time when he was trapped in the illusion.

"What I mean is, without the help of strange equipment, who can have this kind of ability?" Ye Jiu said.

"Then I'm not sure... People with this ability are either hunters or psychics. Even if ordinary people practice swordsmanship for a lifetime, they can't create sword energy... This doesn't conform to the laws of science, unless the sword in his hand is a strange weapon." Researcher Huang was suddenly stunned. He glanced at the evidence bag containing the fragments of the action figure, then glanced at the training sword in Ye Jiu's hand. His eyes suddenly changed slightly.

"Brother Ye, you are not going to tell me... this thing was given to me by this sword..."

Although this researcher surnamed Huang was just a nobody in the Tianfu City Weird Things Research Institute, he was admitted to the institute, which showed that he was definitely not a fool. Combined with Ye Jiu's previous performance, he quickly connected Ye Jiu's problem with the two items he was asked to test.

"Hush." ​​Ye Jiu put his arm around Researcher Huang's shoulders, "Don't tell anyone about this."

"What's going on?" Researcher Huang asked in confusion. "Although the intelligence control between departments has been very strict recently... but the things you privately gave me to test, there shouldn't be any problems, right? Besides, the test results are there. These two things don't have any memetic aura at all. Why are you so nervous, Brother Ye?"

"Who told you that this matter is not a big deal? It's a big deal!" Ye Jiu's heart moved, and he immediately changed his words, "This is the responsibility of our field department. It is precisely because it is a big deal that I asked you not to tell anyone. Do you understand?"

Thinking of the recent intelligence control regulations, Ye Jiu simply elevated the matter from a "personal private matter" to the work of the entire department. With this sentence as a guarantee, even if the other party wanted to find out more information, Ye Jiu could use a legitimate reason to shut the other party up.

"I understand!" Researcher Huang nodded repeatedly. "But since this is a serious matter... then Brother Ye, you shouldn't ask me about it. Wouldn't it be more reliable for you to go to the intelligence department or ask the people in the archives directly? I'm just a meme detector. How would I know about those things?"

"I'm just asking casually. I do need to go to the Intelligence Department later." Ye Jiu nodded. "Okay, I'm leaving... By the way, don't play porn during work hours in the future. If you want to play, play something for all ages... The surveillance cameras are watching us."

"It's okay. Just because there's a camera watching me doesn't mean there's someone watching me behind the camera." Researcher Huang waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "I'll only be socially dead if something happens and the video footage is replayed... But if something happens here that needs to be investigated with surveillance footage, I think it won't make much difference whether I'm socially dead or not."

"You are a very clear-sighted guy..." Ye Jiu pulled the corner of his mouth helplessly. In terms of thickness of skin and psychological endurance, this guy is much better than himself... It's a pity that his synchronization rate is not enough, otherwise this guy might be more suitable for being a "killer" than himself.

But speaking of being thick-skinned...

For some reason, Sun Hang's face suddenly appeared in Ye Jiu's mind.

If he had to find someone to tell the truth to, the first person Ye Jiu thought of was Sun Hang... In his opinion, anyone would immediately and nervously control themselves after knowing their "symptoms", except Sun Hang.

Even if that guy was really controlled by killing, he would probably stand opposite me and talk nonsense for a long time...

What's more, with Sun Hang's strength, it shouldn't be a big problem to suppress the rampaging "killing"...

"Maybe I should go talk to Sun Hang?" Ye Jiu thought to himself after walking out of the laboratory.

……

Tianfu City, interrogation room.

There were still fifteen minutes left before the scheduled conversation time, but Sun Hang and Wang Xiyi had already arrived here in advance. They watched through a one-way glass as the people from the field department interrogated Yao Yu, who had just been brought back.

Although Yao Yu himself had no fighting ability, he was still firmly tied to the interrogation chair that was welded to the ground. His hands and feet were handcuffed, and his clothes were replaced with a straitjacket made of special material. The straitjacket and the sleeves and top were completely connected. After putting on this straitjacket, unless the wearer was strong enough to tear the whole piece of clothes into pieces, he could only keep his arms close to his sides and his hands fixed at the back of his waist.

When wearing these restraints, Yao Yu was very cooperative. Not only did he not resist, he did not even complain verbally. He even took the initiative to suggest to the field staff that he be given an injection of muscle relaxant to ensure that he would never escape.

The field department staff naturally rejected his request.

Muscle relaxants are something that will not be injected into the interrogated person unless it is absolutely necessary...especially the interrogated person who is not infected.

Once this thing is injected, the mildest consequences include weakness in the limbs and incontinence; the worst cases include cardiac arrest and respiratory failure. There are very strict standards for dosage control, and the slightest mistake will lead to very serious consequences.

You know, in some countries, this drug is used when executing the death penalty by injection.

Yao Yu, sitting on the interrogation chair, was illuminated by four high-brightness incandescent lamps. The cuffs and collar of his straitjacket were connected with bundles of cables - one end of the cable was connected to the electrode attached to his body, and the other end was connected to the vital signs monitoring equipment next to it.

In addition to ensuring that Yao Yu's vital signs are always within the safe range, these things can also be used to "detect lies" to a certain extent. People who have not received professional anti-interrogation training will show some subtle changes in their heartbeat and blood flow, increased skin surface temperature, and wandering eyes when they lie. These changes may be difficult to detect with the naked eye, but in front of sophisticated instruments, even the slightest changes will be recorded and then processed and analyzed by artificial intelligence... The researcher in charge of operating the instrument told Sun Hang that the accuracy of artificial intelligence's analysis is at least over 80%.

Although he didn't say how the data was obtained or who the data samples were from... Sun Hang still believed what he said.

Because Sun Hang doesn't care at all.

80% is 80%, anyway, even if we encounter the remaining 20%, it will be no problem. What the instrument cannot do, Sun Hang can do.

"So, you don't know what the mission the 'Organization' has assigned to you?" The interrogator, who was sitting opposite Yao Yu and almost hidden in the shadows, asked, "You only received the first phase of the mission, is that what you mean?"

"Yes." Yao Yu replied calmly, "The organization only allowed Wen Ya and me to participate in the PFDA test personnel selection program, and required Wen Ya to be selected to obtain the opportunity to use PFDA to get close to the 'Holy Ark' - that is, Chimera 17."

"But the 'Organization' didn't tell you what to do after you get close to Chimera 17?"

"Yes." Yao Yu continued to nod, "According to the organization's conventions, the complete mission content will only be notified to frontline executors like me and Wen Ya the day before the mission is officially carried out."

Just after he finished asking this question, Yang Qi's voice rang out in the communication channel: "The people in the field department are a step too late. The secret contact point in Tianfu City that Yao Yu told him about is now empty, and the person he met at the contact point is also dead. The body was found in the garbage dump in the east of the city. The cause of death was cardiac arrest."

"The clues are broken." Song Yarong concluded, "They are moving too slowly. During the time they were searching for Yao Yu, they had enough time to deal with these things."

"Do you think Yao Yu is telling the truth?" Yang Qi suddenly asked.

"The truth." Sun Hang nodded. "There's no need for him to lie. There's no point in lying."

"I think so too... But in this case, don't you think it's meaningless for us to capture Yao Yu?" Song Yarong muttered, "We have basically guessed about 80% of the things he confessed, but he also doesn't know the information we want..."

"The most questionable thing is his motive for joining the cult..." Yang Qi emphasized, "He has only come into contact with a few people who are not very high-ranking in the 'organization', but he joined this cult just based on a few words from these small characters... Isn't this a bit too ridiculous?"

"It feels like those grandpas and grandmas who were cheated out of their pensions by those health product sellers just for a basket of free eggs," Wang Xiyi complained. "It's a bit too easy to be fooled."

"No, I'm not kidding." A figure that Sun Hang hadn't seen for a while pushed open the door of the interrogation room and walked in with a stack of paper documents.

The person who came was Ye Jiu's biological sister, Ye Xuan, who had been staying in the military command center all this time.

"I sent people to search Yao Yu's residence in Chunming City and checked the search history of his computer browser and the communication records of all devices, as well as all the files and storage devices in his home... The investigators found that before he joined the cult, he was searching for information about these organizations..."

Ye Xuan paused and continued, "In other words, it wasn't the cult that found him, but he found the cult."

Sun Hang and Wang Xiyi looked at each other. At the same time, the interrogator who received Yang Qi's order also asked Yao Yu: "Why did you join the cult? What is your motive?"

Yao Yu suddenly looked at the one-way glass - although he could only see a layer of silver-white coating from his side, Sun Hang always felt that his gaze seemed to sweep over himself and Ye Xuan.

"You have searched my residence in Chunming City, right?" Yao Yu asked.

"Answer my questions." The interrogator said seriously.

"I admit that I was the one who took the initiative to find the members of the organization and I was the one who took the initiative to ask to join the organization... At first, they thought I was an undercover sent by the federal government. It was not until I accomplished several major things and brought Wen Ya, a powerful, useful and brainless guy, into the organization that they gradually recognized my value."

"Several major events?" Sun Hang turned his head and glanced at Ye Xuan. "What else has this guy done?"

"He leaked a lot of secrets from the Tianshu Tower and stole samples of strange creatures cultivated in the laboratory..." Ye Xuan flipped through the documents in her hand and listed all of Yao Yu's crimes. "According to the laws of Chunming City, he deserves ten death sentences for these crimes."

"Has he ever killed anyone?" Sun Hang asked again.

"That's not the case... but because of what he did, many people died indirectly because of him." Ye Xuan said, "If he didn't still have a little value, I would have shot him right now."

"Please answer my questions directly," the interrogator said in a deep voice, "Why did you join the cult? What was your motive?"

"Motive?" Yao Yu asked back, "Does this require a motive?"

"This is the first time he has refused to cooperate with the interrogation." Yang Qi whispered, "Before, he always answered whatever the interrogator asked."

"That shows that this question hits the nail on the head." Sun Hang shrugged. "Very good."

"Please answer my questions directly." The interrogator repeated the questions mechanically like a tape recorder. "Why did you join the cult? What is your motive? If you refuse to answer, we may use torture on you... We have obtained the highest level of torture permission. As long as it does not endanger life, any torture method is allowed."

"The motive... is very simple." Yao Yu suddenly stared at the interrogator in the shadows seriously and said slowly, "Because I believe that with the development policy of the federal government, human civilization will disappear from this planet in the near future. I joined the organization just to find another possibility..."

"Another possibility? Please elaborate."

"Is it referring to the possibility of coexistence of humans and monsters?" Song Yarong muttered, "This guy doesn't look like he has a problem with his brain. How could he believe that?"

"The possibility of humans surpassing strange creatures." Yao Yu said word by word.
