Chapter 117 Invaders, the Japanese

Not long after, Shen Qing brought the unconscious seventh-grade supernatural being to the interrogation room.

"No, who is this?"

Xie Chong, who was already waiting there, looked bewildered. "The surveillance footage didn't show anything. How did I sneak in?"

Shen Qing casually tossed it to the ground and shook his head.

"I don't know. One is a seventh-rank official, and the other two are eighth-rank officials. They all have methods of concealment, but only this one was left alive."

"Methods of concealment?"

Xie Chong was stunned for a moment, then realized, "No wonder! They took advantage of Captain Wu being injured and in the hospital. Otherwise, these rats would be dreaming if they thought they could sneak in."

As he spoke, he reinforced the other person with another layer of stone locks, noticed the slightly trembling eyelids, and slapped the other person across the face.

"Stop pretending to be dead if you're awake. Tell me, who are you?"

Shen Qing crossed his arms and leaned against the interrogation table, constantly scrutinizing the man.

The captain had just finished discussing the martial arts competition with those forces during the day, so what's the point of invading them now while they're weakened?

Even the representatives from all sides haven't left yet.

If you really don't want to, sneaking into the Evil Realm is easier than infiltrating the Bureau of Alien Affairs base.

After carefully examining the situation, Shen Qing suddenly spoke.

"You are not from the Xia Kingdom."

He thought of Fang Shu's words during the day: since the civilian forces within Xia already knew about the situation in the Evil Realm, there was no point in doing this.

In addition, the other party had a somewhat strange accent.

On the contrary, foreign powers only noticed the situation here through satellites, and if they wanted to know the specifics, they would need to investigate in person.

"Japan?"

Shen Qing asked casually, just to test the waters, without even asking about other options, but the other person's pupils instantly contracted, clearly indicating that he had hit the nail on the head.

The other party then tried to play dumb, but couldn't escape Shen Qing's extraordinary eyesight.

"You've got some nerve!"

Upon hearing this, Xie Chong didn't have a good attitude and couldn't help but kick him, saying, "Damn it, you little Japanese dare to trespass here?!"

Shen Qing did not stop her and continued the interrogation, "Just the three of you?"

One was a seventh-rank official, and the other two were eighth-rank officials.

The event occurred only one day after the demon incident, so even though Japan is relatively close, it's unlikely that it originated from the mainland.

It's highly likely that they're within the territory of the Xia Kingdom; otherwise, why would they be learning the Xia language?

However, after asking for a long time, they still couldn't get anything out of them. Shen Qing and the other person were somewhat helpless, after all, they were not interrogators.

Just then, the door to the interrogation room was suddenly opened.

"team leader?"

Shen Qing and the other person were both taken aback. Fang Shu, who should have been resting, actually appeared at the door of the interrogation room. He nodded.

"I heard you caught an intruder?"

Shen Qing nodded. "They must be Japanese. They're very stubborn."

Fang Shu followed the gaze and said, "Japan? They're quick on their feet. Leave this to me."

Shen Qing and Xie Chong nodded. Fang Shu had always been in charge of the interrogations at the bureau, so there was no need for them to waste their time here now that the professionals were here.

However, not long after, Fang Shu came out with a frown, clearly indicating that there had been no progress.

"You're really stubborn."

Specially trained spies, or even those with supernatural abilities, are just more stubborn than ordinary people; routine questioning and psychological pressure are completely ineffective.

Just as Fang Shu was considering what means to use, even a spy should not resort to vigilante justice.

But he didn't have a good impression of the Japanese, and besides, even if he used some tricks, his injuries wouldn't be visible.

"Captain, perhaps we can do this."

Shen Qing suddenly had an idea and went forward to whisper it to him.

As Fang Shu listened, his brows gradually relaxed, but then furrowed again.

"These Japanese are skilled at stealth. Are you confident you won't lose them?"

This method is somewhat risky. If the other party manages to escape, not only will the follow-up clues be cut off, but it will also alert the enemy.

Seeing Shen Qing nod, Fang Shu realized that torture was unlikely to yield any results, so he ultimately agreed.

"Then let's give it a try."

Just as Shen Qing was about to enter the interrogation room to escort the other party, Fang Shu stopped him.

"I'll handle the initial phase. You're too strong; if the opponent gets away, your weaknesses will be too obvious."

"Others, if they're too weak, are easily in danger. I'm just right; I'm injured, and I'm only an eighth-rank."

After saying that, he went back into the interrogation room and soon brought the Japanese man out.

"You're being stubborn, aren't you?"

Fang Shu's voice was cold. "Then take it slow. Go to prison and calm down for a while first. I have plenty of time to waste with you."

He led the Japanese man towards the base prison.

Shen Qing disappeared from the spot without anyone noticing.

In the corridor, the Japanese man secretly sized up Fang Shu, who was escorting him, and thought about the conversation in the interrogation room earlier.

team leader?

Xiao Dongyang was puzzled. The Xia countryman who had just killed him was also an eighth-rank, but he was clearly stronger, yet he was only a team member.

Surely this captain can't be stronger, right? But he looks injured and his breathing is still very weak.

The Japanese began to get restless.

He wasn't sure if staying here would leak information. The Xia Kingdom had a long history and a large population, and the methods of those with supernatural powers were completely unpredictable.

Even being killed is better than being interrogated.

"Baka!"

Looking at the door at the end of the corridor, Xiao Dongyang suddenly sprang up and rammed into Fang Shu.

Seemingly because of his injury, Fang Shu was caught off guard and stumbled, releasing his grip on the other person.

Then, the Japanese man broke free of his chains and shackles, pulled out a short knife from somewhere on his body, and stabbed at Fang Shu.

In the corridor, blades flashed and fists whistled.

A few seconds later, the dagger still pierced Fang Shu's abdomen, though it was firmly stuck by the muscles. The entire base was already sounding a piercing alarm.

"Damn Xia people, they still want to capture me?!"

The Japanese did not dare to linger in battle.

His most important task now was to find a way to escape. He didn't even care about the dagger. He pressed his body against the wall and disappeared from the spot in an instant.

"Squad leader, how are you doing?"

The Li siblings and others on patrol rushed over upon hearing the alarm. When they saw Fang Shu clutching his abdomen with blood seeping from his fingers, their expressions changed drastically.

"I...I'm fine," Fang Shu waved his hand. "Just a superficial injury."

The Japanese man had a severed arm. He could have easily dodged the blow, but to make the performance more convincing, he chose to take the hit.

Fortunately, this Japanese man did not seem to have opened up his eight extraordinary meridians. Although he was a seventh-rank man, his strength was not very great.

He looked up at the location above the base, as if he could pass through layers of concrete and soil and reach the ground.

Now, it's up to Shen Qing.

at the same time.

Two or three minutes after the alarm was sounded, Shen Qing, who had been waiting above the base, also blended into the surrounding walls.

Suddenly, a faint sound of footsteps came from the hidden stairwell exit in the corner.

The closed door seemed to move, yet it also seemed not to move.
