Inslei Castle, interrogation room.

Rather than saying that this is an interrogation room, Ash feels that this place is like an altar used for some kind of ritual.

This is a circular room with a large and aggressive surface. On the top is an arched dome made of steel. Intricate keels intertwined in the air dozens of meters. The ground is spliced ​​with large pieces of neatly cut obsidian. The surfaces of these obsidians have a large number of etched grooves, which form strange and beautiful patterns, just like the patterns that the ashes looked at on Margaret's sniper rifle.

These patterns are obviously not simply decorations, but the crystallization after the development of energy application technology to its peak.

"Super-large ink crystal array..."

Although I don’t know why this kind of thing appears in the interrogation room, it is obvious that this super-large array of ink crystals has been activated more than once, and even obvious burning marks are left on the edges of the grooves.

The ashes were pressed by two soldiers on the chair in the middle of the interrogation room. The chair was made of special military-grade alloy, and the base and the ground had been cast together. There were extended ring shackles on the back and feet of the chair, which locked the ashes on the chair tightly.

Ashes remained calm, although the strong sense of uneasiness was gradually eroding his heart.

"Is it necessary... It makes me look like some dangerous person..." Ashes looked at the shackles locked in his own abilities. His own ability alone could not break free from this chair that looked like a torture instrument.

"It is necessary, of course, it is necessary. You are very dangerous and extremely dangerous." Loxso stood ten meters away from the ashes. Behind him was a long black table painted with a thick stack of documents on it.

"This is the entire investigation report of the people involved in the operation when you were brought out from the second quarantine by our people." Loxso extracted one of the documents.

"After separation from Soya, you encountered a frenzy beast in the quarantine area that became extremely aggressive due to the dual reasons of Dark Season and Plague Mist. You were not equipped with steam-powered armor. The only weapon left on you was a standard military dagger with a blade length of thirteen. You did not inject auxiliary drugs such as stimulants. You killed sixteen frenzy beasts with your own strength... Even those senior agents in the combat system, not everyone can do this." Loxso walked around the back of the table and sat down, "Can you tell me how you did it?"

"...I don't know, my last memory of the second quarantine area is Soya shouting to let me escape."

"Indeed, it is mentioned in the medical report that your head has been hit hard, and it is not strange to lose memory... But after experiencing that intense battle, your protective suit has been severely damaged, and you are in the core of the black fog area. The dose of plague fog that your body is exposed to is enough to kill an ordinary person hundreds or thousands of times. Why are you waiting for our rescue safely and safely, and even the symptoms of plague infection have not appeared?"

"Maybe...because I've been vaccinated?"

"No, the vaccine you configured is not as effective as you imagined. When Margaret's team was evacuated from the quarantine area, a total of 12 people were infected with the plague. They all received the same vaccine as you, but the concentration of black fog they were exposed to was less than one thousandth of yours."

“…”

"This is your detailed physical examination report. You are not an awakened person, and there is no apostolic power in your body that is in an "active state", but some of the values ​​in the report are more abnormal than those in the awakened person."

"What?"

"Drug resistance, your drug resistance is far beyond ordinary people, or even far beyond awakened people. Common drugs are difficult to have effects on awakened people. That is because the internal circulation system of awakened people is different from that of ordinary people. They do not belong to pure humans. Drugs configured with humans are difficult to apply to the awakened people's bodies... Generally speaking, six to eight times the dose of drugs is needed to play an equivalent role for awakened people. This number is fifteen times in you."

"In addition, your self-recovery ability is also amazing. In fact, even if we don't save you and throw you in the isolation area, the wound on your body will probably heal slowly after a while... According to reports from those medical officers, even when they sutured your wound, the injured area began to regenerate itself."

"Finally, when you were performing this mission, you encountered the unplanned Union Army steam-powered armor. After being forced into the desperate situation of ten deaths by the steam-powered armor, in the absence of life, the light of descending appeared, destroying the Union Army armor and saving you from the brink of death."

"So, who are you... no, no, I should ask: What kind of thing are you? What kind of relationship does it have with the guy who is called the 'apostle'?" Loxso stared at Ashes' eyes, as if he wanted to see something from his eyes.

However, Ashe himself knew nothing about these questions raised by Loxso.

Apart from the nightmare that felt extremely mysterious, Ash lost almost all the key memories - the disaster ten years ago, the details of his departure from the core of the Black Mist Zone, etc., he remembered nothing, and he didn't even have a vague impression.

As for the drug resistance and self-resilience mentioned by Loxso, these ashes have never been paid attention to. Often when he wakes up from his serious injury, the wounds on his body will heal... As for the medical officers responsible for helping him deal with the wounds, it seems that they have received silent orders without exception.

"I also want to know these things, or I want to know more than you. After all, in my personal consciousness and memory, I should be a very normal human being, and I have always regarded myself as a human being. If Lord Loxso insists on characterizing me as a non-human creature... I hope you can provide strong enough evidence." Ash replied.

The situation was very unfavorable to him. The other things may be as reasonable as possible, but the light of the coming that saved him could not be evaded - whether intentionally or unintentionally, in short, his life was indeed saved by the light of the coming, and since the whole thing involved the light of the coming and the apostles, no matter how small the actual scale of the incident was, its influence and attention would not be affected. Even for the senior officials of the empire, the priority of handling this matter was still above the war with the Northern Federation.

Because no one knows when and where the next light of arrival will appear... People originally thought that the light of arrival will appear hundreds of years before it will appear, but the interval between this time was only ten years, which completely overturned people's original understanding of the light of arrival. No one can guarantee whether this pillar of light that will destroy the world will appear over the imperial capital tomorrow.

"Are you really not willing to say anything?"

"I don't know what I can say? Sir, you're a tough guy."

"Aren't you afraid of death?"

"It's useless for me to be afraid of death. My life is now in the hands of my lord. If I have to kill me, I hope I can burn some interesting novels for me during the holidays in the future, so as to save me from being too lonely on the other side."

"You seem to be very confident? Are you so sure I dare not kill you?"

"Don't dare, I'm just stating the facts, I really don't know anything." From beginning to end, Ash never avoided Loxso's gaze. Of course... Loxso did not get any useful information from his eyes.

Damn it... this kid, either his disguise was too clever to reach the point where even I couldn't see through it, or... what he said was true.

Locksho frowned slightly, and a irritable mood surged up. He stopped continuing to interrogate, but kept looking through the files in his hand, even though those things had been read by him no less than a hundred times before.

"Bang!" Loxso closed the folder in his hand and stood up.

"Since I can't ask anything, let me do an experiment." He pointed his finger, and accompanied by a heavy sound of gear choking, the steel dome of the interrogation room slowly opened, revealing the dark and deep sky.

Mercury flowed out from many hidden holes, gradually filling the grooves on the obsidian floor, and the silver-white liquid metal outlined the entire array again.

Loxso took out a small box from the inner pocket. Inside the box was more than a dozen high-purity ink crystals. He inserted these ink crystals one by one on the "array eye". When the last ink crystals were connected with the entire array, the mercury in the grooves suddenly rolled up like boiling water. A dark red light wall rose up and wrapped the entire interrogation room, leaving only a hole of about one meter in diameter directly above the ash.

"What's this?"

"Using the energy shield driven by the ink crystal array, as long as the energy is sufficient, any energy-form attack will be neutralized by this shield. If it were just the light of the arrival that night, this shield should be able to block it." Loxso said, pulling out the narrow scimitar on his waist and walking to the ashes.
