Keep attacking girls and try not to be killed by them

However, in the shadow of this "handsome" fluttering moth, the Frost Armor Knight who had troubled Shiiki Ruri for so long was actually lurking in it, watching Shiiki Ruri's every move.

·

·

Jiang Ran had already known the new method that Shiiki Ruri had come up with through mind reading when he was in the warehouse.

However, for safety reasons, he followed Shiiki Ruri all the way to her home and witnessed the process of her writing the application.

After all, in Jiang Ran's experience, women are fickle, and they might change their minds when Shiki Ruri returns home, so he can't take the risk for an hour or two of sleep.

Finally, only after seeing Shiiki Ruri mail the application form with a steel-feathered owl did Jiang Ran leave the cat girl's house and head to the outskirts of Mel Town.

Yes, in the middle of the night, Jiang Ran did not return to the hotel to rest, but went straight to the deserted suburbs.

Before going to bed, Jiang Ran still needs to give those troublesome cat-man ninjas a unique "interrogation".

·

·

Before the interrogation began, Jiang Ran had actually figured out the general reason why monsters would attack Mel Town tonight through his identification skills and basic logical reasoning.

These seven "rainbow-like" cat-man ninjas captured by Jiang Ran are the masterminds behind the whole incident.

Jiang Ran saw clearly that the identification information of the seven cat-man ninjas were basically members of the "Cicada Unit". Only the red-haired guy was slightly different. He was the captain of the "Cicada Unit".

Regardless of whether they were the captain or the team members, their strength was all at the maximum level of rank four, just like Shiiki Ruri. This gave Jiang Ran a basic understanding of the strength of the so-called "Cicada Unit."

In the identification information, Jiang Ran saw the description of the "Cicada Corps". Whether in objective or subjective terms, the "Cicada Corps" is the most powerful intelligence force among the cat people of the Farnas Empire.

However, the strength of each individual in this signature unit of the cat people is only at the level of Shiiki Ruri, and Shiiki Ruri is just the leader of a branch of the secret intelligence organization "Teruya Ryuja".

Therefore, after such a horizontal comparison, the cat-people's "Cicada Unit" is no match for the "Zhu Ye Liu Que".

The weak strength of the "Cicada Unit" allowed Jiang Ran to rely on his overwhelming strength to capture them all in one fell swoop. After the capture, Jiang Ran separated all of them and locked them up in their own small rooms.

The small room was bare, not to mention windows, there wasn't even a chair to sit on. And then, when Jiang Ran went in to interact with them, it was done in complete darkness, which prevented these cat-man ninjas from the "Cicada Corps" from even seeing Jiang Ran's appearance. As for the sound, Jiang Ran also disguised it with a different voice than usual.

After an all-night interrogation, Jiang Ran, through indirect interrogation techniques and his incredible mind-reading skills, successfully found out the real purpose of these cat-men ninjas. Their intention was to test the fighting style of the Frost Knight Stan, and thus determine whether this powerful knight who appeared out of nowhere was the "messenger of the underworld" they were looking for.

After learning the purpose of the cat ninjas, Jiang Ran was somewhat confused.

He had never taken the initiative to provoke the cat people of the Farnas Empire, so how did he inexplicably become the "messenger from the underworld" they were looking for?

Moreover, from the inner thoughts of the cat-people ninjas, Jiang Ran also discovered that this so-called "Messenger of the Underworld" is not only of great significance to the cat-people, but also has a vital importance to almost all sub-human races in the Prison Star World.

If that’s the case, how could Jiang Ran not accept the “benefits” that were delivered to his doorstep for free?

9.208 - Captain Hong Xin

The strongest secret intelligence unit of the cat people is called the Cicada.

The cat-man ninja with the strongest overall strength among the Cicadas, his code name is Hong Xin.

At this moment, Hong Xin, the red-haired catman who can be regarded as the strongest ninja among the cat people, is doubting his life in a small dark room where he can't see his hand in front of his face.

"Who the hell is he, meow..."

"Why does he know everything, meow..."

"Our round-the-clock intelligence work, is this just a joke, meow?!"

Hong Xin angrily threw a punch into the darkness ahead, but of course, he hit nothing.

This feeling of powerlessness to cause no harm to the air was the source of the pain that haunted Hong Xin like a nightmare tonight.

The story of how all this happened started about two or three hours ago.

·

At that time, in Mel Town, the members of the "Cicada Unit" led by Hong Xin saw the bat monsters attacking the warehouse of the Cat Girl Kitchen, and they all thought that their goal would be achieved soon.

However, the subsequent development of the matter was both in line with their wishes and beyond their expectations.

As they wished, their target, Frost Knight Stan, actually made a move, and the move he used was exactly the "Blue Flame Attack" they wanted to see. The wide range and great power of the move made these experienced cat-man ninjas marvel.

What was beyond their expectation was that just when they thought the mission was accomplished and they could retire, all the members of the "Cicada Unit" were attacked from behind almost at the same time. When they regained consciousness, they were already imprisoned in a dark room.

·

When Hong Xin woke up in the darkness, his first reaction was to confirm the enemy's position, because the last thing he felt before he passed out was that he was attacked from behind.

However, Hong Xin soon discovered that he had been moved to another place. The place he was in was an enclosed space with walls on all sides. There was no light at all, and the equipment and props on Hong Xin had long disappeared.

Fortunately for Hong Xin, there were no enemies around him, but unfortunately, he had no way to escape from this space.

As the captain of the intelligence organization, Hong Xin did not panic in this situation. He quickly calmed himself down and began to sort out the situation.

Hong Xin remembered very clearly that at the time of the incident, Frost Knight Stan was still within their observation field of vision, so the person who attacked them should not be him, but Hong Xin had no way of confirming whether Frost Knight Stan had other companions.

Intuitively, Hong Xin thought that if Frost Knight Stan was the "Messenger of the Underworld", then he definitely would not have any accomplices, because in ancient legends, the Messenger of the Underworld always acted alone.

Then, who would attack their "Cicada Unit"?

Hong Xin is not sure whether all members of the "Cicada Corps" have been attacked, but according to his judgment, the annihilation of the entire army should be a high probability event. After all, even he, who has the strongest comprehensive strength, has been captured, so the others are probably doomed as well.

——(So…we’re all locked up in a dark room now, meow? Looks like our enemies this time are also professionals, meow…)

Hong Xin knew very well the enemy's purpose in imprisoning them separately. This kind of lonely confinement in a dark room would not take long to make people feel extremely stressed and would also cause them to misjudge the passage of time.

As long as the prisoner can no longer bear the mental torture, the rest of the interrogation will become simple.

—(Wait, interrogation-nyan? Are they trying to get information out of us?)

Hong Xin suddenly understood that as the top intelligence organization of the cat people, since they were being targeted, the other party must be after the intelligence.

But who is the enemy who attacked them this time?

Hong Xin's train of thought stopped here. It was not because he could not remember any enemies of the "Cicada Corps", but because there were too many enemies and he was not sure which one was responsible for this incident.

·

Hong Xin shouted and screamed in the dark room, trying to lure the enemy outside (if any) into the room.

He knew very well that it would be of no benefit to continue staying in this dark room. Only by talking to the enemy could he find the flaws and the opportunity to turn defeat into victory.

After a short while, Hong Xin's efforts finally paid off - he successfully knocked himself to the ground.

Strictly speaking, it was not Hong Xin himself who knocked him down, but someone outside the small dark room. However, it was Hong Xin himself who forced the other party to do so, so it is reasonable to say that he knocked himself down.

When Hong Xin suddenly felt dizzy and fell down, he had no idea why he suddenly felt like this, because there was no one else in this small dark room except himself. However, when he saw a door suddenly opened on the originally closed black wall, he knew that his efforts had finally paid off.

·

The person who walked into the small dark room was a mysterious man covered in a black cloak. He had a pure white mask on his face, preventing Hong Xin from obtaining any useful information.

The only thing Hong Xin could see was a scabbard hanging around the other person's waist, but for some reason, there was no knife in the scabbard, and the other person was not holding a knife in his hand.

Hong Xin also knew that the dizzy state he was in was very similar to the feeling of running out of stamina during a battle, but he was fine before, so how could his stamina suddenly run out?

"Catman, keep shouting, why aren't you shouting now?"

As soon as the mysterious man came in, he began to mock Hong Xin in a condescending manner. Hong Xin didn't care at all and pretended to be a little angry. In fact, he was taking the opportunity to peek at the world outside the door, hoping to find some clues.

However, to Hong Xin's surprise, it was still pitch black outside the door. He was extremely confused and wondered where on earth was this?

"Hey, cat-man, speak."

Hong Xin's indifference aroused the mysterious man's dissatisfaction, and the other party kicked Hong Xin on the waist. Hong Xin, who was dizzy and unable to move, could only grit his teeth and take the kick.

"Hehe... Hehe, if you have the guts, then... kill me, meow. Otherwise, you'll have to... serve me... Hahahaha meow~!"

Hong Xin said this almost through gritted teeth. This was his way of provoking someone.

As a member of the intelligence organization, Hong Xin could basically guess what the mysterious man was going to do next, but he had no way of determining the specific details.

Judging from Hong Xin's own experience, he believed that no matter what happened, as long as he kept his mouth shut and didn't say a word, the intelligence held by the "Cicada Unit" would not be obtained by the enemy.

However, Hong Xin soon realized that even something as simple as shutting his mouth was impossible for him to do...

9.209 - Interrogation Game

In the pitch-black room, the captain of the "Cicada Unit," Hong Xin, lay on the ground, overcome by dizziness.

With the very faint light from the doorway, he could vaguely see the mysterious masked man in front of him.

Hong Xin’s current thought is that he must remain unchanged in the face of all changes and let this mysterious guy reveal his flaws himself.

After all, compared to himself, the captured prisoner, the mysterious masked man would definitely be more anxious.

However, Hong Xin's interrogation experience was of no use this time, and his response strategy was quickly defeated.

"It's not difficult to kill you, but it's better for me not to kill you."

The answer from the masked mysterious man made Hong Xin immediately realize that the other party's rank was not low.

The words I just used to mock him didn't cause any emotional fluctuations in this guy at all.

The mysterious man's next words made Hong Xin stunned with surprise.

"I don't like beating around the bush, so I'll get straight to the point. You have no choice but to answer my question. Captain of the 'Cicada Unit,' Hong Xin. Or should I call you by your real name, Red Xin?"

The mysterious man's simple words not only let Hong Xin know that the other party had known his identity, but even called out Hong Xin's real name!

Even the other members of the Cicada Corps don't know his real name!

Faced with such shocking remarks, Hong Xin's originally calm heart was suddenly shaken. The training he usually received as an intelligence organization member was of no use at this time.

——(Damn it, how is this possible, meow?! How on earth did he know this, meow?!)

If Hong Xin hadn't been unable to move due to dizziness, he would have jumped up and rushed over to question the other person.

Based on Hong Xin's understanding of the organizational structure of the Xianchan Corps, the fact that the other party knew his identity and real name meant that there was a huge problem within the Xianchan Corps... No, there was even a problem within the Ten Elders!

“You…you…you…!!!”

Hong Xin was extremely excited, so excited that he couldn't even speak properly. The mysterious man saw this and said to him with a smile, "Haha, don't be so excited. I know what you want to ask. You want to know who I am, right? But I obviously can't answer this question for you."

The mysterious man's calm attitude made Hong Xin even more angry, and then, after being angry to the extreme, Hong Xin suddenly calmed down.

·

When Hong Xin is extremely angry, his mind will automatically clear out of thoughts. This is Hong Xin's personality trait.

Relying on this characteristic, he made many outstanding achievements in the Xianchan Corps, which is why he was eventually promoted to the position of captain.

Now after calming down, Hong Xin quickly figured out one thing, that is, no matter how calm the other party looked, no matter how much the other party knew about the Xianchan troops and about himself, the other party always "needed something from him."

This "request from me" might be because they want the information in my head, or they might want to use me as a "person". In short, I am valuable to the other party, and this is his only chance to reverse the situation.

——(Yeah, that’s right, meow. First of all, I need to figure out why this guy wants to catch me…!)

"Hmph...just keep pretending, meow. If you know everything, why did you arrest me? I won't tell you anything, so just give up, meow."

Hong Xin continued with his original strategy. He would never betray the organization under any circumstances - even if it meant sacrificing his own life.

As for what else this mysterious masked man knows and what abilities he has, he wants to take a closer look.

·

"Haha, you really are worthy of being the captain of the Cicada Corps. You're truly exceptional. I like people like you who have a strong work ethic. It's a shame your teammates aren't as high-minded as you. With just a little coercion or inducement, they spill the beans."

The mysterious man's words, as a response to Hong Xin, were quite powerful.

However, as a member of the intelligence organization, Hong Xin had already seen this method.

——(So this is your trick, meow. I won’t fall for it…)

After hearing the mysterious man's words, Hong Xin did not feel that the other members had betrayed him at all. Instead, he thought that this was a lie deliberately made up by the mysterious man in order to make him waver.

"That's funny, meow. You say the same thing to other people, right? Forget it. It won't work on me, meow."

Hong Xin thought he had won a round against the mysterious man in the confrontation, and he smiled a little proudly. However, the mysterious man's next words immediately stopped Hong Xin from laughing.

"I see, there really are 'others'. Thank you for telling me, Captain Redsin Redsin."

The point of the mysterious man's words is not the truth or falsity of the information, but that he successfully fooled Hong Xin into falling for his tricks.

From beginning to end, Hong Xin did not see the whereabouts of other members of the Xianchan Corps. He just analyzed and speculated that the others might have been captured as well, so he assumed that the mysterious man knew the composition of the Xianchan Corps.

And now, just because of an unintentional remark, Hong Xin allowed the other party to obtain the information they wanted.

The importance of intelligence is irrelevant at this time. What really matters is that Hong Xin is no longer the opponent in the battle of wits. It is like a boxer has knocked out another boxer, and no one will care about the previous technical scores or losses.
