Zhou Huai took a deep breath, forcibly calming his tumultuous emotions.
He had considered that the pendulum of life might be stolen.
He had considered that Principal Lin might be severely injured.
But he never imagined that she would die on the way back.
She was one of the Great Xia Country's top SS-Class Professionals.
How could she be killed so easily?
In Zhou Huai's mind, he uncontrollably recalled the old lady, who always had a stern expression, watering flowers in front of her villa.
In the mories shared by Gandalf, Principal Lin's figure was always so solitary.
She had no friends, no family.
Her greatest hobby was chatting with the flowers and plants she personally cared for.
Even though the plants never responded, she always enjoyed it tirelessly.
Later, General Zhang Donglai ntioned that although Principal Lin was an SS-Class Professional, she detested combat and killing the most.
She appeared harsh, spoke directly, and showed no ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) rcy.
But deep down, she was a very kind and gentle person.
At this mont, the Old General sitting opposite Gandalf was Hou Changfeng's old ntor, Chen Huaishuo.
His eyes were filled with confusion and scrutiny.
Gandalf was clearly on the airship at the ti, so why was he so shocked by Principal Lin's death?
His expression did not seem feigned.
What exactly was going on?
Before he could ask, Gandalf, controlled by Zhou Huai, was the first to inquire: "What about the others on the airship?"
"Are Zhang Cheng, Li Hao, and the others... still alive?"
Chen Huaishuo took a deep breath, his voice as heavy as iron.
"They're gone."
"Including combat and logistics personnel, there were a total of forty-three people on the entire military airship!"
"All sacrificed!"
"Except for you! Gandalf!"
Every word of the Old General's statent was like a thousand-pound hamr, striking heavily on Zhou Huai's heart.
All sacrificed!
Not a single survivor!
This airship carried the top Prodigies carefully cultivated by the Great Xia Country in recent years.
As a result, they all died.
It seed the other party's intention was not rely to seize the pendulum of life.
It was highly likely that from the very beginning, they aid to shake the Great Xia Country's Foundation.
Zhou Huai sighed deeply in his heart.
If.
If Gandalf had still been on the airship at that ti, would the outco have been different?
However, at that ti, Donghai City was on the verge of crisis.
He had no choice.
Moreover, judging by the enemy's ability to annihilate an entire ship of top powerhouses, even if Gandalf had been present, he would likely have been killed on the spot.
"Now, can you tell us?"
Watching Gandalf's emotions gradually calm down, Chen Huaishuo spoke again, breaking the dead silence in the interrogation room.
"We don't want to doubt you. But you are the captain of this relic exploration team, and when we last contacted anyone on the airship, you were clearly on it."
"But why, why did everyone on the airship die, yet only you survived unhard?"
"And then, suddenly appeared in Donghai City?"
"Gandalf... I need you to give an explanation!"
Zhou Huai's expression darkened, and he fell silent.
How could he explain this?
It was simply unexplainable.
He couldn't possibly reveal the truth.
That would completely expose the secret of his true body.
The military could not be fully trusted.
Seeing Gandalf remain silent for a long ti.
A deep disappointnt appeared on Chen Huaishuo's face.
"Gandalf, even now, you still refuse to speak?"
"Since you are unwilling to speak, then we can only... force you to speak."
Chen Huaishuo clapped his hands lightly.
The heavy alloy door of the interrogation room opened silently, and a middle-aged man in a white coat and gold-rimd glasses walked in.
He smiled, with a refined deanor, looking more like a scholar than a soldier.
Zhou Huai, controlling Gandalf, looked at him with wary eyes.
"What do you want to do?"
Chen Huaishuo leaned back in his chair, his voice cold: "Let introduce you, this is Wei He, an S-Class Professional specially hired by our military, the 【Mind Judge】. He is specifically responsible for the military's interrogation work."
"He has been in the profession for twenty years and has never failed. No lie or secret can hide from him."
"He can hypnotize your Soul, making you willingly reveal the secrets deep within your heart, one by one."
The middle-aged man nad Wei He pushed up his gold-rimd glasses, a highly professional smile appearing on his face.
He walked behind Gandalf, and his hands gently rested on his shoulders, kneading lightly.
"Don't be nervous, relax."
His voice carried a peculiar soothing power, making people involuntarily want to lower their guard.
"It's just a very routine psychological counseling; it won't cause any harm to your body or mind."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Huai secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
In the profession for twenty years, never failed?
Then I'm truly sorry.
Today, he would have to fail just this once.
As the thought settled.
Zhou Huai unhesitatingly withdrew his consciousness from Gandalf's body.
Gandalf's smart core ai took over.
Just as Zhou Huai's consciousness withdrew, Wei He's movents stopped.
A confident curve appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he lightly snapped his fingers in the air with his right hand.
"Snap!"
The crisp sound echoed in the silent interrogation room.
The next second, Gandalf, who had been sitting upright, suddenly went limp, his head dropping weakly, his eyes tightly closed.
Wei He pushed up his gold-rimd glasses, and his voice gently guided: "Now, raise your head, open your eyes."
Gandalf, with his head bowed, heard this and slowly, stiffly, raised his head.
He opened his eyes.
His eyes, once as deep as the starry sky, were now empty and dim, like a puppet that had lost its Soul.
Wei He gave Chen Huaishuo an "OK" gesture.
"Old General Chen, you may ask your questions."
Chen Huaishuo cleared his throat, leaned slightly forward, and stared intently at Gandalf's handso but vacant face.
He asked in a deep voice: "Gandalf, we have investigated your information in Donghai City, and everything is fake. Before participating in the National Examination, it's as if you never existed."
"Where exactly do you co from? Which organization do you serve?"
"What exactly did you do in this Castlantis relic incident?"
A series of sharp questions were fired off like a barrage.
The entire interrogation room suddenly fell into a brief silence.
Chen Huaishuo and Wei He both held their breath, awaiting the answer that was about to be revealed.
After a while.
Everyone heard Gandalf's hollow voice slowly begin to speak.
"Let go of ! You foolish human!"
Chen Huaishuo: "..."
Wei He: "..."
