Weird Live Broadcast: I Can Deduce Endlessly

Chapter 107: Interrogating Jin Xin

Jin Xin let out a strange cry, uncontrollably flying backward.

Unexpectedly, Jin Xin suddenly hung motionless in mid-air and couldn't move. He rolled his eyes backward. It turned out that Gu Yi had grabbed the rope on the top of his head.

"This rope of yours is quite nice." Gu Yi grinned, "It's perfect for hanging you."

"Gu Yi?"

"We can chat later. We've prepared a cozy solitary cell for you."

"I'll kill you!"

With his last bit of strength, Jin Xin lunged at Gu Yi's throat. Anticipating the move, Gu Yi quickly stuffed a salt shaker into Jin Xin's mouth.

"Hmm?"

Jin Xin's complexion turned ashen, and he passed out with his eyes rolling back.

...

Jin Xin was imprisoned in a special cell.

Following Gu Yi's instructions, the agents painted the entire cell black. They locked Jin Xin's head in a glass jar, with salt scattered around the jar and on the floor.

Agents interrogated Jin Xin throughout the night, but he proved to be quite cunning.

While he always answered their questions, his responses were information the strategy team already possessed.

There had been no substantial progress in the interrogation so far.

Standing outside the cell, Gu Yi volunteered, "Leader, let me interrogate him."

"You?" Qu Kangping raised an eyebrow, "We don't know what other weird powers he might possess. What if he harms you? In a few days, you're going to another dungeon."

"It's okay, I know my limits."

"Alright then... just be careful."

Gu Yi nodded, opened the door, and walked into the cell.

He took a chair, sat down in front of Jin Xin, and remained expressionless.

"You look pretty handsome as a human." Gu Yi remarked with a raised eyebrow, "Why get involved in all this?"

"How do you know about my abilities? Who told you? Or have you humans developed some new technology to combat the weird powers?"

"Right now, I'm the one interrogating you, not the other way around."

"Let me guess..." Jin Xin's eyes darted around, "You've figured out how to use weird powers in the real world? Hehe, that's a prerequisite to becoming a host. You're born for this, Gu Yi."

"Hmph..."

With a cold snort, Gu Yi punched Jin Xin, knocking him over.

The glass case around Jin Xin shattered into pieces, and he fell onto the ground, and the specially made salt burst into silver flames.

"Ah — stop it!"

Gu Yi ignored him, stepping on his head.

Ah Jian was taken aback, wanting to rush in to save Jin Xin, but Qu Kangping stopped him.

"Team Leader, this isn't right. We can't torture the suspect."

"Gu Yi isn't part of our strategy team," Qu Kangping said. "Our rules don't apply to him."

Jin Xin's screams echoed in the cell, his eyes rolling back as if he were about to lose consciousness.

"Can we talk civilly now?"

"Yes..."

Jin Xin glared resentfully at Gu Yi, squeezing out a single word through gritted teeth.

Gu Yi grabbed Jin Xin by the ear and placed him back on the table.

"Are there other hosts within Dragon Country?"

"I don't know."

"Still being dishonest?"

"I really don't know!" Jin Xin stared at Gu Yi, "The weird world selects adventurers randomly. The selection of hosts is also random. Who knows what the director is thinking?"

Judging from Jin Xin's previously stubborn nature, Gu Yi deduced that Jin Xin's words must be a mix of truth and lies.

"Have you seen the director?"

"I've seen him, and I haven't."

Gu Yi's face elongated in exasperation, and Jin Xin quickly elaborated.

"The director is a god. Mortals like us cannot directly behold deities. Every time I see the director, it's just one of his many incarnations. So naturally, I've seen him and haven't."

"What you're saying sounds just like the ravings of a fanatical believer. Did I come here to listen to your nonsense?"

Gu Yi punched Jin Xin off the table, sending him back into the salt frost.

"Ah! How dare you treat me like this? Ah—"

"Stop playing games with me," Gu Yi said coldly. "How many hosts are there within Dragon Country?"

"Just me, I swear, only me!"

"How is that possible?"

"We hosts have to follow strict rules and there's a survival of the fittest competition among us. If a host in a region fails in his duties, he will be replaced by the next one..."

"So you're still not being honest? Then why are you so keen on recruiting me? Aren't you and me will also be competitors?"

"Ah—" Jin Xin moaned in pain. "Wake up, Gu Yi! Humans aren't worth your loyalty. Let me go, and I can grant you immortality!"

Gu Yi stood up, looking down at Jin Xin, "Hmph, still not coming clean? Then continue rolling on the floor."

Tears of blood flowed from Jin Xin's eyes, quickly evaporating in the silver flames. He loudly cursed Gu Yi, seemingly the only way to alleviate his pain.

"Gu Yi, you're doomed! Sooner or later, humans will betray you. We are of the same kind; they won't accept you! Don't you understand this? You will understand, sooner or later!"

Gu Yi watched Jin Xin emotionlessly until the salt frost on the ground was completely burnt out. Jin Xin's face was scorched, but he was still weakly groaning.

A host's vitality is extremely strong, capable of surviving even if just a head remains.

Gu Yi pushed the door and left the room.

Ah Jian glanced at Gu Yi. "Did you kill him?"

"He can't die," Gu Yi shook his head, "He's a host. As long as the weird world operates, he can draw power from it, achieving immortality."

"This..." freewebnovel.cσ๓

"Lock him up. Let's conduct an experiment to see what happens if he doesn't return to the weird world on time."

"Do we need to continue the interrogation?"

"No need. This guy is full of lies. Interrogating him is a waste of breath."

Ah Jian pursed his lips, unsure of what to say.

Qu Kangping finished his last puff of cigarette and threw the butt into the ashtray. "Ah Jian, do as Gu Yi said."

"Yes."

Qu Kangping approached Gu Yi and asked curiously, "Gu Yi, I don't want to ask anything else, but I want to know how you foresaw that Jin Xin would fly and eventually try to escape through the sewer?"

"Hmm... For the past few nights, I've been having nightmares, which I think is my intuition at work.

I dreamt of a head floating in the sky, so I guessed that Jin Xin would possess the ability to fly."

"The head emerged from the ground in my dream, so I guessed that Jin Xin would escape through the underground sewer. When I arrived at the scene, I noticed blood on one of the manhole covers. As I approached, I realized it was just a hallucination.

So, I deduced that Jin Xin would use that manhole cover to escape.

Moreover...

There's another crucial detail.

In my dream, Jin Xin was saved by another person's arm. That's why I kept asking him if there were other hosts within the Dragon Country. I'm worried that an accomplice might come to rescue him."
