Novel Full Chapter 363: Questioning (Bonus)
“Shut up! You are in the presence of the Supreme Judge.”
The summoner abruptly shut his mouth, unable to open it again. The summoner was trying to open his mouth with his hands, but to no avail.
“You are forbidden to self-harm, talk back, and get away from your seat. We’ll now begin the proceeding. I will be accompanied by two other judges.” Anubis raised his hand. All of a sudden, a huge golden scale appeared in the middle of the courtroom, which would measure his deeds.
“So strong. He can make him obey. During the previous fight, he had a hard time taking down that demon…” Bella was impressed.
“Well, he has certainly gotten stronger, so that might also be the case.” Neyeid nodded. “Still, he is a little too strong compared to other students in his year, don’t you think?”
Evelyn observed everything first and waited until her turn.
With the guy unable to do anything, Anubis began. “What is your name?”
“Y-Yassen.”
“Your age and how many familiars do you have?”
“38 years old. 8 familiars.” Yassen looked frustrated as he was trying to stop talking. For some reason, he couldn’t do anything other than answer Anubis. His eyes turned bloodshot, as if he wanted him to stop, but the latter didn’t care.
From these questions alone, they should be convinced that his power would allow him to extract information from them.
Hence, he continued, “How many familiars have you turned into aliens?”
Yassen was resisting with all his might, but to no avail. With a hoarse voice, he answered, “18.”
“!!!” Bella stood up in shock. “18? That’s not just his familiars?”
Anubis remembered Lees and the others, so he asked, “How many humans have you turned into aliens?”
“7.”
Anubis’ expression darkened. Yassen knew he had screwed up. He never expected he would blurt out all this information. The scale on the left had dropped to the lowest point and had no sign of going up.
“Are you involved with the kidnapping incidents? Do you kidnap people and put aliens into their bodies?”
“Y-Yes.”
“How many people have you operated on? How many of them have turned into aliens, and how many of them remain oblivious?”
Yassen clenched his fists but loosened them again due to the prohibition of self-harm. “39 people. 5 have turned into aliens, and the rest are still oblivious.”
Bella gasped. “This is… Since the number doesn’t match up, it seems he is turning people into aliens, not with the same method.”
Anubis glanced at Bella and said, “What method did you use to operate them?”
“I cut their bodies and put the alien into their bodies with my Ena before closing it again.”
“What about the other method?”
“I shove the alien into their mouth directly.”
Anubis squinted his eyes before glancing at Evelyn. “Do you want to continue?”
Evelyn thought for a moment before nodding her head. It was her turn to ask him the questions. “How many familiars have you turned into aliens or operated on?”
“I have operated on 79 familiars and turned 23 of them into aliens.”
Evelyn bit her lips. “Did you do this alone? Is there anyone with the same role as you in the organization?”
“Yes.”
“!!!” Evelyn gasped. As expected, the true number was much higher than they expected. “How many of them?”
“7 people.”
“How do you get the aliens?”
“We have caught a mother alien whose symbiote cells can regenerate almost infinitely. It produces small children.”
“How many people in total has your organization operated on?”
“I don’t know.”
Evelyn was frustrated. She never thought that the organization was this powerful.
“Should I begin questioning him about the organization?” Nathan asked.
Evelyn thought for a moment. “One more question. Is your organization related to the massacre at the banquet a few years ago where the rising stars all over the world gathered?”
“I don’t.”
Evelyn looked confused, wondering if this organization was the one responsible for that massacre.
To stop her from losing her motivation, Nathan asked, “The reason for your answer. Is it because you joined the organization recently or is it because you don’t know?”
“I joined the organization two years ago.”
“…” Evelyn looked surprised at Nathan but soon let out a long sigh, knowing Nathan’s intention. She appreciated the gesture.
Now that it was his turn, Nathan asked, “What’s the name of your organization?”
“Divine Hand.”
“Whoa. What a ridiculous name. Do you consider yourself an envoy of god or something?” Nathan chuckled.
“I don’t know, but I have heard about the rumor about a certain prophecy. It’s said that chaos will plunge the world next year. And it is our organization’s mission.”
“Chaos will plunge the world next year? What kind of prophecy is that?” Neyeid frowned. “Are they trying to become that chaos?”
“I think I have heard such a rumor in the past.” Bella closed her eyes, recalling it. “It’s an old prophecy that has been lost in the passage of time. However, there was an insane guy that shouted something similar in the past.”
“What do you know about the prophecy?” Nathan asked.
“I don’t know anything else.”
“Who is your leader?”
“I don’t know.”
“What do you know about your organization structure?” Nathan crossed his arms while thinking, ‘It seems this guy is still a low level guy, but…’
Yassen fell silent for a moment, which made Anubis angry. “Answer!”
Yassen gritted his teeth but ultimately gave the answer. “I only know that the organization is led by a death god. Every person who joined the organization would be marked where insubordination meant death.
“The death god has ten hands. I’m reporting to the seventh hand. Each hand has several subordinates.”
Everyone’s expression turned solemn. Yassen knew that he had screwed up big time. Their biggest advantage was that there was no information about them. With him blurting out all this, the organization would definitely be hunted down.
That was why Nathan’s next question was obvious. With a cold tone, he ordered, “Give me their names!”
