From the end of the world

Chapter 107 Interrogation 1
While Lu Youxun was drawing the magic circle, the nightclub in the distance was experiencing an unprecedented impact.

Because the "fireflies" I set up in the nightclub had not been withdrawn, I could see all the changes that took place there. I had nothing to do anyway, so I temporarily focused some of my attention on that place.

Earlier, Lu Youxun called his men to deal with the nightclub. Since they were Youxun's men, they were naturally detectives, and detectives were ordinary people. It was impossible for them to destroy the nightclub by individual violence. They probably communicated with the official forces about this matter. Just as Zhu Shi said, now that Luoshan and the official forces were in a stalemate, the latter would never tolerate such nightclubs. Less than 20 minutes later, a large group of law enforcement teams rushed in without explanation.

What happened next was simply a complete destruction. No matter how many local dignitaries were behind the nightclub, it could not hinder the determination of the official forces to destroy it. Those guests who were having fun in the nightclub were caught on the spot by the law enforcement team without even having time to put on their clothes. All managers and employees were immediately subdued. Seeing this scene that seemed like the sky was falling, the security guards gave up their resistance and squatted down obediently with their heads in their hands, and their faces still showed the horror of not being able to accept the reality for the time being.

I saw Chang'an and Jinyu nearby. They were still lingering opposite the nightclub, silently watching one nightclub-related person after another being transported and transferred under the control of the law enforcement team.

Among the people being escorted was the little girl standing behind the shadow-changing man whom I had seen briefly before. She was no longer wearing the rabbit mask, but she was still wearing the hairpin, which was how I identified her. The law enforcement team treated her kindly. Goldfish also saw the other person, and his eyes stayed on his face for several seconds.

Chang An hesitated for a moment, then shouted into the air: "Zhuang Cheng, are you watching?"

So he knew I was watching this place. How did he find out? Was it because I rushed over in time when he was kidnapped and beaten by two shadow clones last time, and I didn't avoid him when I was discussing tactics with Zhu Shi and Ma Zao before, so he had some suspicions?

Now I don’t mind letting others know about the “firefly”, so I controlled the “firefly” and came to him and the goldfish.

The two immediately noticed the small light spot and showed suspicious expressions. I continued to control the "firefly" and headed for the dark alley not far away. The two looked at each other and followed without saying a word.

After arriving at a place where no one would notice me, I made the firefly expand into a fireball, built a vocal organ inside, and then transmitted my voice: "What's the matter?"

It sounds like building a vocal organ is very sophisticated, but it's not such a complicated skill at all. I just rely on my feelings. I can speak normally in the fire elemental form. Now I am just remotely controlling the flames and simulating some functions of the human body in the fire elemental form.

It would be a bit disgusting to create a throat and mouth out of thin air with fire, so I wrapped it with fire as a packaging.

Changan seemed unaccustomed to talking to me like this. After a moment's hesitation, he said, "Nothing special. I just wanted to ask... Is your battle over?"

"It's over," I said.

"Is the shadow-changing monster you are looking for really the goldfish's father?" He was very concerned about this question.

"Yes." I said.

"This form of conversation is really strange. I feel like you have become something weird..." He couldn't help but express his thoughts.

Really? I feel like it’s just like talking on a cell phone.

The goldfish suddenly said, "So, is he dead?"

"Not yet," I said, "There is still some information that needs to be dug out from him."

She asked persistently: "What happens after you ask?"

"Of course I kill him."

Although I was talking to the Shadow Changer's daughter, I didn't think it was necessary to lie. Not only did she hate the Shadow Changer to the core, but even if she and the Shadow Changer were in a normal father-daughter relationship, I had no interest in being fake in this regard.

"Don't say anything like 'Let me kill him'." I continued, "Even if he is tied up, the weirdo is not something that ordinary people can hurt, let alone kill. If you approach him rashly, you will only put yourself in danger.

"If you are determined to die, I won't say you are stupid. But we don't want him to find an opportunity to escape again because of your interference."

Changan said speechlessly: "Ah Cheng, can't you just honestly say that you don't want others to die..."

I always feel that both he and Zhu Shi have a weird filter towards me. Do they really think I am some kind of tsundere character with a sharp tongue but a soft heart? Am I that kind of person?

In comparison, Goldfish seemed to understand much more, and she obviously listened to what I said seriously.

"I understand." She said, "I won't do anything willful, but before you kill him, can you let me see him one last time?"

Upon hearing this, I consulted Lu Youxun, who was in charge of the interrogation.

"One is Zhu Shi's brother, and the other is the daughter of the Shadow Changer?" He thought for a moment and said, "It doesn't matter, bring them here."

So I said to the goldfish, "Okay, I'll take you there. If you have any final words to say to him, think about them on the way."

I changed the fireball back into a "firefly" that looked like Mars, and led the two of them towards the grove where we were.

On our side, Lu Youxun has made preparations and said that he has sealed the ability of shapeshifting. I can't see any light or sound that indicates "successful sealing". Since he said so, it must be sealed. He came in front of the shapeshifter and took out a pair of bluish-white leather gloves from his pocket. It looked like it was made of human skin, and the color reminded people of zombie skin. He put it on his right hand and then pressed the top of the shapeshifter's head with his right hand.

"You guy..." The shadow-changing monster showed a look of humiliation.

Lu Youxun said expressionlessly: "Behave yourself."

I also walked over and saw him take out new props again. I couldn't help but take a few more glances. I don't know if it's because he lost the power to fight, but he seems to be able to use a lot of magical props.

Seeing my curiosity, he put on a friendly expression and explained: "This glove allows me to read the surface thoughts of the interrogated person. After all, in interrogation work, sometimes it is not enough to just force the other party to answer questions. The interrogator himself may not be able to ask good questions due to insufficient information.

"After learning that this incident involved the Humanitarian Department and the Monster Maker, I specifically applied for some props from the department that keeps magic props so that I can interrogate and get more detailed information. This is one of them."

"So that's how it is..."

I was about to nod in response when the Shadow-Shadow Man suddenly made a move.

While Lu Youxun and I were talking, he seemed to think that we had revealed a flaw and launched an attack.

Now he was still restrained by my flaming hand, his ability to change his shape was also sealed, and his condition was even worse, but the power to control shadows seemed to be able to work. He suddenly opened his mouth, probably controlling the shadow inside his mouth, and a shadow spear as thick as a bowl shot out from it.

At this moment, it was a matter of life and death for him, and the first target he would attack must have been the result of his careful consideration. However, he did not choose Lu Youxun, who was the closest and a logistical support staff, but chose me as the primary target.

The shadow spear shot out at a very fast speed. To be honest, I didn't see clearly that it was a spear at first. It was not until the next moment that a silver sword light suddenly slashed from the side and intercepted and crushed the shadow spear. Only then did I judge what was attacking me through the traces left on my retina.

In fact, when I saw him open his mouth towards me, I knew he was going to attack, but there was no need to dodge. What surprised me now was not the counterattack of the shadow-changing monster, nor the fact that this counterattack was intercepted and crushed by others in time. When I saw the silver sword light appear, I thought the person protecting me was Zhu Shi, but when I looked closely, it turned out to be Lu Youxun.

What Lu Youxun was holding in his hand at this moment was a sharp long sword with a red tassel, a black hilt, and a silver blade.

The appearance of this sword is exactly the same as Zhu Shi's sword.

Seeing that his counterattack was ultimately futile, the Shadow-Changing Monster showed a look of despair, and the sense of power filling his body rapidly declined.

The heart seed is about to leave his body, and he is going to self-destruct!

Lu Youxun sighed with great regret, having spent time and patience setting up the magic array to seal the supernatural power, but the other party still had to self-destruct in the end. At the same time, Zhu Shi stepped forward with a sword without hesitation, trying to cut off the connection between the Shadow Changer and the Seed of Heart.

Ma Zao was even faster. She stood still and pointed her finger in the direction of the shadow-changing monster, saying in a deep voice, "Stop."

As these words rang out, the Shadow Changer was frozen in place just like the man in the black suit before, and his rapidly declining sense of strength suddenly returned to its original state, as if the decline that had just occurred was just an illusion. He didn't even suddenly shrink to a normal human size like the Undead Monster.

"Ah?" The Shadow-Shadow Man was stunned.

Zhu Shi also stopped his actions, and Lu Youxun was also shocked.

The two looked at Ma Zao with disbelief.

Ma Zao's face turned pale, and she looked weak, her body swaying back and forth. Her weak and pale face and her unsteady posture reminded me of her when I first met her.

I quickly went to support her.

"You actually canceled the escape program of the Heart Seed?" Lu Youxun seemed to not believe his eyes.

Compared to that kind of question, I was more worried about Ma Zao's physical condition: "Ma Zao, are you okay?"

"I am fine."

Ma Zao hugged my arm tightly and took a deep breath.

Maybe because she used the power of blessing on herself, her complexion suddenly improved.

Lu Youxun asked in an unusual tone, "How did you do it? You were able to forcibly detain the Seed of Heart... Even in Luoshan, no one has ever done it before."
