As if grabbing a life-saving straw, Noita tightly grasped the Jade Heart Gauntlet: "Please take me there."
"That's what I'm here for."
Considering that Noita was unable to move, Feixin picked her up and then flew away, leaving Chir dumbfounded.
No, you left before you even received the commission?
Fei Xin's armor was very cold, like ice. Noita's eyes moved slightly, scanning Fei Xin's vital points and limbs. A sense of malice was swirling in her heart.
If she suddenly attacked at this moment, what were her chances of success? If he suddenly took out his Frost Blade and slashed at her, could she block it?
The desire to fight was extremely strong, but the murderous intent was tightly restrained by the girl, preventing it from breaking out and becoming a reality.
When Leng Xing was hanging in the air, Fei Xin arrived at the camp holding Noita.
This is a militarized town built outside Serkar, with a large population and heavy guards.
Fei Xin passed the identity verification and brought Noita to an interrogation room, where she placed her on a chair. She would later invite professionals to diagnose Noita, focusing on confirming whether she had the hand of Hongrong.
The female doctor carefully examined Noita's body. When the night was quiet and everyone was asleep, she finished the examination and took Fei Xin outside to discuss the condition.
"An extremely tenacious alien life force exists within her, constantly eroding her body. However, her own strength is equally formidable, and she is fighting back against the invading life force. Her body has become a battlefield, and her physique is strengthened in the struggle. From what I can see, she must have achieved extraordinary attainments in the two great ways of fighting and cups. Where did you capture this suspect?"
Fei Xin described in detail the whole process of how she found Noita.
Someone reported that the aura of the Cup was strong in Shihuo Town, and that remnants of the Cup Cult were suspected to be hiding. She went to investigate and upon arriving, she saw the battlefield and Noita, which was suspected to be a sacrificial site, and brought her back for questioning.
The doctor asked, "What's the result of the interrogation?"
Fei Xin was a little embarrassed: "I haven't had time to interrogate yet."
The doctor held his forehead with his hand. "Be more careful, Fei Xin. Don't bring your abundant compassion into your work. The Shadow of the Quiet Forest requires decisiveness and silence, like a winter wind that crushes everything. Not being ambushed and knocked unconscious because of a lack of decisiveness. You almost lost your life and your sword. Your nearly shattered heart should teach you a lesson. If you don't wake up, you'll be dismissed soon."
Fei Xin forced a smile and said, "I'll soon no longer be the Shadow of the Quiet Forest."
Chapter 57: Parliamentary Permission to Execute First and Report Later
This is a depressing story for Fei Xin. She lost her sword, failed in her mission, and because she has a bad compatibility with the path of winter, she is about to be expelled from the Shadow of Jinglin.
The Shadow of the Quiet Forest is not only the name of a unit, but also a profession. Without the resources of the Shadow of the Quiet Forest, and being judged to have poor compatibility, under the double blow of material and spiritual suffering, the possibility of making progress on the path in the future is very slim.
The doctor knew he had spoken out of turn, but he thought it was a good thing.
Occupations like logistics personnel and healers are more in line with Fei Xin's nature. Even being a pure warrior is better than the Shadow of the Quiet Forest.
The doctor said softly, "In short, the suspect you captured doesn't appear to be infected by Hongrong. I can prescribe a medicine to suppress her abnormalities, but how she escaped remains a mystery and requires careful investigation. Logically speaking, no matter how badly Hongrong was injured, she shouldn't be unable to handle an ordinary professional."
"Everyone has a secret. I don't need to dig deep into it, but..."
As she was speaking, Fei Xin was suddenly stunned. She smelled a faint fragrance like orchid, sweet as honey. Just the smell made her mouth water and she wanted to drink it.
Amidst the wonderful fragrance of orchids, she also smelled a familiar scent.
Fei Xin was delighted that her sense of smell had returned to normal, but the familiar fragrance made her suspicious again. Before she could retrieve the corresponding smell from her mind, the orchid fragrance dissipated and she covered her nose uncomfortably.
She couldn't smell anymore.
The doctor chuckled at this and handed over a packet of ointment.
"Take it three times a day as before, and avoid spicy food. Your sense of smell will be fully restored in half a quarter."
"Thank you." Fei Xin thanked her and asked her if she could smell the fragrance of orchids.
The doctor replied, "The smell is coming from the person in the room. As for the familiar smell, I don't smell it. After all, I don't have your dog nose."
Fei was annoyed and said, "It's a wolf, a wolf! Not a dog!"
"There's no difference, they're all canines... Let's not talk about that. Do you need me to take your statement?"
"Ah."
The interrogation needs to be conducted by two people, although Fei Xin, in her position, does not need to care about these details.
After asking a doctor to accompany the interrogation, Fei Xin pushed the door open and entered the room.
Under the soft white light, Noita sat quietly, with her hands resting naturally on the table, her head slightly raised, staring intently at the illuminating crystal stone.
For a brief moment, Fei Xin's spiritual sense flickered, sparks of inspiration danced, and a strange sense of familiarity struck her. It was like the sudden flash of inspiration when walking down an unfamiliar street, a sense of déjà vu that hit her as she'd seen this scene before.
I may have seen her.
An idea flashed through his mind like lightning, and then quickly dissipated among thousands of distracting thoughts.
Somehow, Fei Xin remembered the powerful enemy she met in the Layered Rock Cave. She had the same focused expression as Lady Roshivia, but the former was as sharp as a throat-slitting blade, while the latter was as dignified as a university scholar.
Fei Xin cast aside the inappropriate thoughts, sat down at the table, and asked Noita, "Name?"
Noita smiled and replied, "Loxivia."
Before she could tell a lie, a string of words appeared in the diary.
You have entered the Realm of Honesty, where lies are not tolerated. Spend 3000 experience points to negate the Realm of Honesty.
The interrogation room was set up with a spell that forced people to tell the truth. Those affected by the spell could not lie according to their subjective will, but they could avoid answering questions by refusing to answer or being evasive.
Noita can ignore the effects of the Realm of Honesty by spending experience.
"age?"
"21."
"Place of origin?"
"Twin Lions Mountain."
"Where is that?"
Fei Xin was stunned. She had never heard of this place.
"In the Kingdom of Rongguan, I'm not from Serkar. I heard that there's money to be made in Serkar and the taxes are low, so I came here to make money."
"Do you have any identification?"
"Is the nameplate of the Adventurer's Guild okay?"
“Not credible enough.”
The Serkar people were well aware that the information recorded on the Adventurer's Association nameplate was of poor authenticity, but Noita couldn't come up with a better proof of identity, which gave both of them a headache.
It was definitely impossible to find out the identity, let alone people from outside the Dark Moon Land. Even the information of the local mountain people in the Dark Moon Land had not been fully entered into the identity system by Serkar, so where Noita came from depended entirely on her words.
Noita knew the characteristics of Serkar's makeshift team very well, so he reported an outsider's identity.
Anyway, she is not on the wanted list, so whether they believe it or not depends entirely on the other party.
The massive influx of people and its own chaos made it impossible for Serkar to count the population quickly and effectively.
The doctor recorded the conversation between the two parties in a serious tone without making any comments.
Fei Xin asked again, "What is your purpose in coming to Serkar?"
"To make money, I was helping people handle some shady deals in Shuangshi Mountain. But my former boss became suspicious of me and wanted to kill me, so I had to leave. Coincidentally, someone told me that I could make more money in Serkar, so I came here."
Noita smiled and replied, "Because I've been here so recently, I haven't done anything bad. My background is clean. You can investigate this."
Fei Xin retorted: "Without household registration documents, your assets are no longer clean."
"That's true, but I didn't have time to process it. I'm willing to pay the fine."
Noita spoke briskly and without timidity.
Judging from what I heard before and the brief time I spent with her, Fei Xin is by no means cruel and will always follow the rules and regulations. She is a kind person and can even be called a gentleman.
As long as Noita doesn't touch the point that disgusts her, there will be no problem.
"Did she say anything when she was fighting Hong Rong? Where did she escape to in the end?"
"She said she wanted to return to the source and become one with me, but she died. I killed her with my own hands."
There was silence in the interrogation room.
Hongrong is dead?
Fei Xin and the doctor looked at each other, and at the same time checked whether the Realm of Honesty was working. Fei Xin tried to tell the lie that she "liked taking bitter medicine", but when the lie was about to come out, the Realm of Honesty forced her to change it into the truth.
"I don't like bitter medicine."
The Realm of Honesty is in good condition.
Did she really kill Hongrong?
Fei Xin hoped that this news was true, but she really didn't think that any mediocre professional could kill a second-level professional.
Regardless, the interrogation must continue.
The questions continued to dig in the direction of Hongrong, and Feixin carefully questioned the details of the battle. Suddenly, the topic changed to Noita's living place and activities in the past few days.
Noita replied that she took on commissions to earn a living, and would spend the money in various places after receiving it.
Her answers were watertight, but she avoided sensitive topics and avoided conflicting questions so that they wouldn't find herself able to ignore the boundaries of honesty.
The interrogation continued until dawn. Noita was full of energy. Her psychic and physical powers gave her a clear mind and a strong body. She was still able to respond to the interrogation with a clear mind. She also marked various questions in her log. It only took a glance to read them all.
"Thank you for your answer. Do you need to rest? We have a special rest area here."
"Of course, thank you!"
Fei Xin calmly sorted out the notes and sent someone to take Noita to the rest room.
Beside her, the doctor who had been taking notes all night yawned sleepily and half raised his eyes to look at Fei Xin.
"You're so energetic, you're not even sleeping yet."
"I'm used to it." Fei Xin said to the doctor uncertainly, "I always feel like there's something wrong with her. She handles things too naturally and too skillfully."
"There's definitely something wrong, but what do you suspect her of? Is it Hongrong's death? Her sexual orientation? Or all of these? You captured her, and you have the right to dispose of her. If you have any doubts, then lock her up for ten or eight years, and no one will say anything about you. If she can't resist trying to escape, that would be a sign of conspiracy, and she could be executed immediately."
"How can this be possible?" Fei Xin frowned, "I have no actual evidence."
"You still haven't adjusted to your identity, Jade Heart." The doctor smiled like a wicked witch in a tale of evil. "You are the Shadow of Quietwood, the sharp edge of Serkar. With the special permission of the Council, you can execute first and report later. Why do you need any evidence? Everything is for Serkar. As long as the actions revolve around this slogan, you don't need evidence."
"Think about it carefully. After all, you captured him. How to deal with him is your business. I still have to analyze the remains of Hongrong's synthetic beast. Remember, don't play dumb with those light people. We can't learn the optimism and enthusiasm of the Sky Patrollers."
P.S.: There is one more chapter, which will be posted later. I might be a little sleepy tomorrow. I found blood in my stool today, so I need to get checked out.
Chapter 58: Leaving the Camp
Noita was led to the lounge, which was clean and tidy, with a simple bed, table and chairs, nothing else.
Noita placed his palm on the eaves of the door, and the invisible vibration was transmitted along the bricks and stones, instantly gathering the structure of the house into his mind.
No traps, very safe.
So the girl lay down on the bed, pulled up the quilt to wrap herself up, buried her head in the quilt, and fell into a deep sleep.
Her consciousness leaped up and she arrived at the Gate City.
Although she felt that Fei Xin could be deceived, her own safety needed multiple guarantees. Noita needed to find another insurance to ensure that she could get out after being trapped in the camp.
If she had a choice, Noita didn't want to follow Feixin to the guard camp outside the city of Serkar. Unfortunately, she had no choice. After Hongrong followed the evil fusion concept and gave her power, she fell into an awkward state where she couldn't move for a long time.
She needed to concentrate on suppressing the affected flesh and blood, and it was already very difficult to separate herself and talk to people.
When she was well enough to run away, Fei Xin arrived and took her to the camp, sending a doctor to examine her and help her suppress Hong Rong's restless power.
But it was not a big problem. Hongrong's consciousness was received by the log, and only power remained in her body. The only conclusion the doctor could draw was that Hongrong's power had eroded her and was fighting against her own power.
Fortunately, Fei Xin is a good person.
Noita walked into the public gate city and sent a chat room spell to Roshivia.
The opponent sent back a spell.
So persistent.
Noita entered Roshivia's chat room and saw a beautiful elf sitting on the sofa.
"Meimei~"
Noita waved her paw in greeting, thought for a moment, and then transformed as well to talk to Roshivia.
"Good evening, Miss Witch, is there anything I can help you with?" Luo Xiweiya sat gracefully on the sofa and asked Noita what she wanted.
There were only a few occasions when Noita took the initiative to send her messages, so when she didn't meet Noita in Gate City the day before and received the spell sent by Noita at dawn, Luo Xiweiya knew that this quirky girl had something to ask for.
