Even goblins are dangerous in this other world!

"Furthermore, I really don't know what kind of conflict Miler has with Bodecca. If it turns out that Miler is innocent, things will become even more complicated."

"Let them take the people away. If Pozelika and the other two don't show up by the day after tomorrow, we can classify this as a missing persons case. Then I can use that as an excuse to push Miler out, and she'll be at a disadvantage in no time."

"Once Milair is arrested, I'll find that man and capture him. That will be the perfect end to this matter."

Barr spoke one sentence after another, clear and logical, leaving Larry stunned.

He couldn't help but praise:

“Baal, you’ve really changed. If it were the old you, you would have already charged straight in.”

Praised by Larry, Barr's expression showed a hint of pride:

"If you want to advance from the top four to the top five, you need to make some changes. Patience is indeed very important, and Larry, you're right about that."

Larry nodded, pleased that his old friend had finally improved, but then he suddenly remembered a loophole and quickly spoke up:

"Do you remember what that person looked like? You haven't lost them since, have you?"

Baal smiled, a wisp of black energy rising from his hand, carrying a terrifying aura of death:

“I have already placed the [mark of death] on them. They can’t escape. If any priest has the means to remove the mark, I will sense it the moment the mark disappears.”

Larry was finally relieved.

He knew about Baal's [Death Mark], a third-tier skill of Baal as a Death Knight. It could leave an invisible mark on the opponent, which was very subtle. With Baal's years of experience in mastering death-related skills, even a fifth-tier skill would be difficult to detect if one was not careful.

"Baal, once you bring the man here, I will definitely keep my promise to you once I succeed."

Larry spoke excitedly, wide awake now. If it weren't for the communication crystal separating them, he would have even wanted to have a drink with his old friend to celebrate their success ahead of time.

"Well, just wait. I estimate I can bring the person to you in two weeks."

Barr, on the contrary, calmed down at this moment, and his initial excitement was gone:

“Canriel has been quite unstable lately, so taking leave might be a bit complicated.”

"No problem, it's only two weeks, I can wait."

Larry laughed heartily, his eyes gleaming with reminiscence as he gazed at the crystal facets of the communication crystal:

"After all, I have waited far too long for this day."

"Yes, it has been far too long."

When Baal spoke, his gaze fell on the surface of the communication crystal. Through the crystal, it seemed as if he was not seeing Larry, but rather himself from many years ago.

Back then, he wasn't the first-ranked vice-commander he is now, possessing the fourth-level upper rank, but he looked exactly the same as he does now, and hasn't changed at all over the years.

……

"Wow!"

As a basin of cold water was poured over the heads of Bojelica and her two companions, the three women, who were bound by ropes, opened their eyes.

The first thing they saw was a blinding white light, so bright that they couldn't open their eyes.

That was a lighting magic circle that Luo Xiu had learned from the booklet given to him by Tata, which he fixed with a fixing magic circle to serve as a light for interrogation.

"Cough cough."

Luo Xiu sat in the chair and coughed lightly. On either side of him were Tassanya and Miler, while Leila sat directly on his lap.

Compared to his robust physique, Leila was tiny; when she sat on him, her head only reached his chest, as light as if she had no bones.

"Begin the interrogation now."

As soon as Luo Xiu finished speaking, Miler picked up the booklet she had prepared and began to speak directly:

"The prisoner, Bojelica, Lundelor, Dorian, is that his name?"

The three of them were still in a daze and hadn't realized what was going on.

Pojerica even frowned and spoke:

"Miriel, you kidnapped three vice-captains. Are you trying to betray the Knights?"

Even at this point, her first reaction was still to frame someone.

Upon hearing this, Luo Xiu coughed lightly twice again, his face illuminated by the light, which activated the memories in Bojelica's mind.

She trembled involuntarily, her face filled with terror, and her previous air of wanting to frame someone vanished completely.

Even though she had gone mad after drinking the fifth-tier potion, she still remembered the face of the man in front of her. He was the one who had dealt with her mutated self in just a few seconds, and she was still in excruciating pain all over her body.

“If you confess, you will be treated with leniency, if you resist, you will be treated with severity.”

As Luo Xiu finished speaking:

"Tasanya, get them to cooperate with our work."

Tassanya immediately stood up, cracked her neck, rubbed her hands together, and grinned.

Bojelica and the other two immediately changed their expressions. Dorian, being the youngest, had never experienced such a scene before and hurriedly spoke up:

"Wait a minute, we'll cooperate."

"What? You absolutely refuse to cooperate?"

Luo Xiu stood up, waved his hand, and Tassanya immediately rushed forward.

The three men paled; they knew this was a sure way to get a beating.

Soon, screams erupted from inside the cubicle shop.

A few minutes later, the three men, who were already seriously injured, suffered an even worse fate. They were all bruised and swollen, their faces covered in blood, and they were unrecognizable.

Luo Xiu nodded in satisfaction:

“Now Milair will ask, and you will answer. Do you understand?”

The three nodded hurriedly, like chicks pecking at rice.

But in reality, apart from Dorian, Bozelica and Lundel had other plans at the moment, intending to use lies to fool Luo Xiu. After all, they had been vice-captains for many years, and their mental fortitude was not so fragile that their psychological defenses would collapse after a beating.

And most importantly, Luo Xiu didn't seem to intend to kill them.

People never truly learn until they're faced with a hopeless situation. This gave them a glimmer of hope, but also fueled their ulterior motives.

Lundel squeezed Dorian's arm, signaling him not to speak first and to let the two of them speak first.

Luo Xiu naturally noticed their subtle actions, but he didn't care. With [Scrutiny] present, it was pointless for them to try to hide anything.

"My first question is, are you involved in this disappearance case?"

Milair asked the question as written in the notebook.

"No, it's okay."

At this moment, Bojelica's voice was slurred, but she still tried her best to deny it, claiming that the three men attacked Miler simply because they didn't like Miler, and it had nothing to do with the so-called disappearance case.

Luo Xiu's eyes flashed with scrutiny, naturally concluding that Bojelica was lying.

He beckoned, and Tassanya, who was beside him, stepped forward again with a sinister grin.

Soon, screams rang out again.

Lying is no big deal, you'll just get a beating.

The second question Miler asked was whether there were other people behind the group who were in charge of the disappearance.

This time, Lundlor replied, denying the existence of anyone else.

The investigation revealed it was another lie, and the group was naturally beaten up again.

When it came to the third question, Milair asked again:

"Who is the person behind the missing persons case?"

"No, no one, really no one. We have nothing to do with the missing persons case."

Lundel's words were mumbled and difficult to understand, but he still tried his best to deny it.

In Luo Xiu's eyes, the "Scrutiny" indicator showed that the group had lied again.

He smiled slightly. Lying was pointless. He had prepared many answers, and the following questions would be changed into yes or no questions. He would always be able to get the truth out of them.

For example, "Was the Grand Master of the Knights the one who spearheaded this disappearance case?"

But now he has changed his mind.

The three people in front of me were not cooperating at all; perhaps I had been too gentle.

A silver-white longsword appeared in his hand as he walked towards the three, smiling as he spoke:

"Are you really unwilling to tell the truth?"

"I, we are telling the truth."

Pojelica spoke with difficulty.

Dorian, standing to the side, stared at the gleaming sword in Luo Xiu's hand, his pupils trembling. Having just endured so many beatings, he was already on the verge of losing control. Fearing that Luo Xiu would kill him outright, he spoke in a trembling voice:

"I, I'll say—"

"Dorian!"

Lundel shouted, stopping Dorian from continuing.

He was unaware that Luo Xiu had seen through his lies perfectly, yet he still tried to deceive him.

The people behind them were simply too terrifying, and they were unwilling to bear that kind of price.

But Luo Xiu didn't speak again. He smiled and suddenly his right hand flashed out two cold lights, accompanied by a rapid whooshing sound. Lundelor and Bojelica's right arms landed directly on the ground.

puff! ! !

Blood gushed out like a fountain.

Pain caused Bojelica and Lundel to writhe to the ground, but this did not stop the blood from gushing out. As the blood gradually stained the ground, their faces turned pale, and even the speed at which they curled up and rolled on the ground slowed down.

In their hazy state of consciousness, they saw Luo Xiu's face stained with blood, like a demon emerging from hell, with a smile on his face:

"Whoever tells the truth first will live."

"Tata, it's Master Tata!!"

Almost instantly, Lundlor spoke first.
