Chapter 373 Interrogation, the Open Door

When Ruy walked into the living room with a tool bag, Colin had tied up Marco's hands and feet, and was stuffing a towel into his bleeding mouth.

Seeing Rui approaching, Colin stood aside. It would be better to leave things like body search and interrogation to him.

Rui directly injected an anesthetic to the painful Marco.After he was completely unconscious, he pulled out the towel that Colin had stuffed for a long time.

Then pinched Marco's jaw with his hands, looked into his bloody mouth, and checked whether there were capsules hidden in his teeth.

In the palm of his huge hand, Marco's jaw is like some kind of toy.

"There are so many decayed teeth..." Rui muttered while watching, "A few of them seem to be broken by you."

"That can't be helped," said Colin.It was probably bitten off by Marco himself under severe pain.

Finding nothing in his mouth, Rui lifted off Marco's clothes again, and pressed his thick middle and index fingers together on his abdomen.When the flank was checked, Rui suddenly stopped and raised his eyes to look at Colin:

"There is."

As he said, he drew a cross on Marco's flank with an ink pen. If you look closely at that inch of skin, you can see a light-colored scar.

"There are things like hard capsules hidden in it." Rui closed the pen cap and said:

"It will have to be taken out with a knife."

"...It's really ruthless."

Colin, who was watching from the sidelines, murmured and sighed, not knowing whether he was talking about Marco or Rui.

But when dealing with wizards, it is always right to be careful.Even Colin himself once met a ruthless character who hollowed out a finger bone and stuffed a ritual trigger in it.

The reason why Ruy had to search so carefully was because he still had to "get along" with Marco for a while.The first is for interrogation, and the second is because Marco's heart is probably related to a certain ritual, which will be triggered once it stops.

This is a common practice of the Grand Duke for expatriates. The only problem is that setting up such a ceremony is very expensive.But this can ensure that the Grand Duke knows Marco's life and death in the first place, and even controls the victim's body to confirm who the murderer is.A few months ago, Colin contacted the Grand Duke through this ceremony and reached a deal.

Before the ritual tied to Marco's heart can be undone, he must be alive, and without threat.

Ke Lin is a very studious person, so he has been watching Rui's operation techniques and procedures from the beginning to the end.Ruy has rich experience and is undoubtedly a top figure in his own field. It is a rare opportunity to observe him at such a close distance.

"Rui closed Marco's clothes, his movements were gentle, but it looked like a bear was taking care of some puppet: "If you can use the tiny elf to probe his body, it doesn't have to be so troublesome. "He said:
“It’s a pity who made the big net of narrative devices everywhere.”“

Ruy is also an elf messenger.But rather than controlling a single large spirit body, he is more specialized in driving those tiny elves that are so small that they are almost imperceptible.Maybe the performance in combat will be slightly weaker, but the versatility of the ability will be much stronger than the former.

It's a pity that I can't use it here tonight.

Then Ruy took out large rubber gloves from the toolbox and put them on, then he began to apply glycerin to his fingers.

While painting, he turned his head to look at the studious Colin, and then at Marco's body, his expression gradually became a little weird:
"Actually."

"Rui said, with a faint voice:
“One more place to check in general.”

Where?Colin didn't react for a moment.

But he looked at Rui Yi's glance to the side, and suddenly thought of something.

... All I can say is, really dedicated.

Ke Lin sighed again, and at the same time, silently put aside the idea of ​​observation and learning.

Some tasks should be entrusted to others, and you should forget them yourself.

"I'll deal with those who are asleep." Colin said so, got up naturally and gracefully, and left the living room.

…………

…………

The remaining six people slept deeply and were controlled by Colin without any resistance.

In just a few hours, Colin and Ruy shut down Danaro's perception of the Stade Institute.

But this alone is not enough, because there is no guarantee that there is any routine communication between the hidden pile and the Grand Duke, and if the connection is disconnected for a long time, problems will still be discovered.

"The coordinates of the five wizards are estimated to be in Edmond's hands. It is difficult to expect them to betray." Rui said: "On the contrary, there are two ordinary people left, and the probability of cooperation will be higher."

"Should Ricardo send someone to take them to another place?" Colin asked.

"That's not necessary." Rui said, and then he looked at the small building he was in:

"I want to move here from the hotel and live here for a while. After all, there should be a lot of clues here. Besides, the room is enough..." Rui turned to look at the seven people who were tied up:

"They can be interrogated separately."

…………

…………

There was nothing important in Rui Yi's luggage, so he stayed in this small building that night, and someone would bring the luggage over later.

Colin drove away from here alone, and the sky was even a little pale.Driving along the seaside road, Colin was thinking aimlessly about where he should live. After all, although the Aspen Hotel has been renovated, there are too many people coming and going, and the sightlines are confusing, so it is still not convenient to live in.

He didn't really want to go back to the gloomy ancestral home of the Dallozzo family. What if he went to live with Ricardo temporarily?He was also afraid of bringing any danger to him and his family.Where are you going to build a house?Just for a few days?
...But after all these things are over, maybe I will return to Stade.

While thinking about it, Colin noticed that some wobbly people began to appear on the side of the road in twos and threes. Most of them looked younger. Observing their appearance, he guessed that these people should have been drunk all night in an underground bar, and then after the show ended, Go home delirious.

But looking at it, Colin's expression began to cool down.Then he stopped the car slowly, opened the door, and at the same time, called out Kushigami.

Following Colin's instructions, the huge figure of Kushio began to emerge, perched on the pier, its terrifying appearance was more solid than ever.

"Eat it."

Colin pointed to the swaying back of a young man and said.

Kushihwa swayed and floated in the air, hovered for a while, then swooped down from behind the man at an astonishing speed, like a roaring train crashing forward.

But the figure of Kushio passed directly through the man without causing any harm. At the same time, Colin heard the scream of some kind of larva.

Comb fire held a meatball-like parasite in its mouthparts, and was still screaming, but Comb fire swallowed it without chewing.The man immediately fell to the ground, foaming from the corners of his mouth twitching.

But the other people on the road continued to walk forward shaking as if they didn't see this scene.

Ke Lin closed his eyes and tried to sense the position of the stars. According to the angle of the seven celestial bodies ether at this time, it should be difficult for Comb Fire to enter reality at this time.But the fact is that it comes in almost without hindrance, and even hardly needs to go through its own human ether.

It was the first time he had encountered such a sight since he began to control the demon of Urju.

It's like Stade's gate to the virtual world has been completely opened.
