The comments said I was deeply affectionate, I just added points by using an alternate account.

Chen Guan looked at this seemingly docile girl, but in fact, he knew very well that Su Yuehe's words just now were just an excuse.

"You bypassed the association to gain interrogation rights."

"right."

Su Yuehe answered crisply and decisively.

"My mother, as the speaker, was able to approve these procedures. In fact, she has already approved them, but if the person is in the hands of the Superpower Association, even if I get my hands on it, I can't get around one person."

"An Changqing?"

There was no answer, but they had already reached their conclusions.

Chen Guan crossed his arms.

He re-examined the girl sitting opposite him.

Gentleness and kindness were once the labels attached to her.

But now this girl next door is meticulously planning to crack open the mind of a cult member.

She has paved the way to the parliament's underground prison in such a short time; her meticulous thinking is astonishing.

"You're telling me all this, aren't you afraid I'll just sell it to An Changqing?"

Chen Guan asked a very practical question: the reason Su Yuehe went to so much trouble was simply because she didn't want An Changqing to know her other side; otherwise, why go through all this trouble?

The reason why Su Yuehe hid her forbidden technique was probably also related to An Changqing.

"You won't."

Su Yuehe's answer was decisive and without any hesitation.

Why?

"Because you also want to know the truth."

Chen Guan fell silent. Su Yuehe was right; he did want to know.

Su Yuehe observed his micro-expressions.

That faint smile reappeared at the corner of her mouth.

She made the right bet; she didn't misjudge him.

"When we were underground in the temple, the black mist stopped when it touched you."

Her voice was so soft that only two people could hear it.

"Long Ao saw it, Chang Qing saw it, and I saw it too."

"Changqing didn't ask you in public because he trusts you, but that doesn't mean he has no doubts, whether in the North or now."

Chen Guan's mind was racing. He was aware of these things, but since An Changqing hadn't asked, he hadn't brought them up either; the two had developed a tacit understanding.

"What do you want to say?"

"I want to say that you have a connection with the Lord of Nothingness. I think you know better than I do that you have some kind of connection with him."

Su Yuehe laid her cards on the table.

"I don't know what that connection is, but the information I got from Yue Teng can help you find the answer."

"All I need is for you to do it with me."

"Interrogating Yue Teng, organizing civilization data, and analyzing the Lord of Nothingness are too much work. An Changqing is too upright and cannot accept extrajudicial torture that bypasses procedures. Long Ao is even less suitable; he will most likely beat Yue Teng to a pulp before he can even speak."

Clearly, these were all issues that Su Yuehe had considered.

Of course, the most important thing is Chen Guan's mysterious background. Others may not have a motive, but Chen Guan has no shortage of motives.

"So you chose me?"

"You're the most suitable."

Su Yuehe made no polite gestures.

"You're calm enough, you can keep things to yourself, and you have the most direct motive."

Chen Guan glanced down at the fruitless documents on the table. He had no reason to refuse. He wanted to know not only the secrets of the Lord of Nothingness, but also Su Yuehe's question.

Was Long Ao really the only one in the main group who should have gone in the opposite direction?

"OK."

Chen Guan nodded in agreement.

Su Yuehe's eyes lit up, and she quickly put away her books, hugged them to her arms, and stood up.

"I will contact you again regarding the specific arrangements. The interrogation is scheduled for next week, after my mother completes the final procedures."

She took two steps, then stopped and turned back.

"By the way, what books were you looking through just now? Judging from your expression, you didn't seem to find the answers you were looking for. I can bring you some similar ones later."

Chen Guan glanced at the spines of the books containing articles on the pathology of supernatural abilities and cases of soul damage, and chuckled, "I'll just take a look."

Su Yuehe glanced at it for two seconds without asking any further questions, and her figure quickly disappeared into the depths of the stacked bookshelves.

Chen Guan remained seated, watching as the twilight completely swallowed the last glimmer of light.

……

A week goes by quickly.

Classes went on as usual, meals were eaten as usual, monsters were still being hunted, Long Ao still dozed off in class, An Changqing still sat upright, and Su Yuehe still frequently appeared in the library. Everything seemed no different from usual.

On Thursday afternoon, Chen Guan's phone screen lit up briefly.

A message was sent by Su Yuehe.

The message contained only six words: "Tonight at 8 PM, Ximen."

Chen Guan glanced at the phone, turned off the screen, and continued flipping through the book.

Long Ao leaned over and took a look.

Who posted this?

"GG".

"oh."

Long Ao didn't ask any more questions and lay back down on the table.

At 7:50 p.m., Chen Guan carried the black coffin out of the dormitory building and walked along the campus path towards the west gate.

The streetlights cast a long shadow over him. There weren't many people on campus; only a few students who had finished their evening self-study occasionally passed by.

A dark gray sedan was parked outside the west gate, with the window half open. Su Yuehe was sitting in the driver's seat, flipping through a document in her hand.

Chen Guan opened the car door and sat inside. The black coffin was placed horizontally on the empty space in the back seat. The car had been specially lengthened, which was obviously a deliberate decision.

"Are the formalities completed?"

"The final signature was completed yesterday."

Su Yuehe closed the folder and handed it to him. The cover was stamped with the red seal of the Human Council, and there was a series of numbers in the lower right corner.

Chen Guan glanced at the document; inside was a special interrogation authorization form. The authorizing person's name was listed as Speaker Su Jin, the interrogated person was Yue Teng, and the interrogator's name was left blank.

"The interrogator did not fill in his name."

"Once you fill it in, it leaves a trace."

Su Yuehe's tone was very ordinary, yet it had an eerie sense of familiarity.

Chen Guan suddenly thought of Long Ao from before, "Are you really the main characters?"

"My mother knows what I'm going to do, but she won't ask about the details; it's an unspoken understanding between us."

The car started, and listening to Su Yuehe's tone, Chen Guan felt that the relationship between this family was a bit strange.

It seems that it's not just Long Ao's family; all these privileged children have their own troubles.

Chen Guan closed the folder and placed it on his lap, leaning back in his chair.

"Since your mother is the speaker of the council, she should know more about Yue Teng's affairs than we do."

"She knows more than we do, but she won't tell me."

Su Yuehe looked out the window at the flowing night view.

"Her position as speaker of the council dictates that she cannot privately disclose information to anyone, not even her daughter."

"So you'll have to dig it yourself."

"right."

The car drove out of the city and turned onto a highway without streetlights. On both sides were continuous industrial park walls. Occasionally, trucks would drive by from the opposite direction, their headlights so bright they made your eyes hurt.

About twenty minutes later, the car stopped in front of a gray building.

The building's exterior resembles an abandoned logistics warehouse, with peeling white paint on the walls and a rusty lock hanging on the iron gate.
