Mystery: The New Dark Emperor Arrives

Chapter 287 Interrogation of Ambassador Fenepot

The "Psychological Spoon" on Hobert has a passive skill that can block attacks from the spiritual level for him. After each block, the "Psychological Spoon" will heat up.

Hobert has also done research, blocking the psychic attack at about the Sequence 7 level, the "psychological spoon" will only become a little warm, and the Sequence 6 will make it scorching hot.

Hobert couldn't simulate the psychic attack of Sequence 5, so he didn't know the specific reaction, but according to this incremental reaction, facing the psychic attack of Sequence 5, the "psychological spoon" should become very hot.

And when it comes to demigod-level psychic attacks, the "Psychological Spoon" may not be able to stop them.

After seeing Tim, the "psychological spoon" is scorching hot, which is a Sequence 6-level psychic attack.

Hobert couldn't tell for a moment that Tim was a Beyonder of the "spectator" path?Or does he have a magical item of this path?
At the moment, he pretended to be in a trance: "Mr. Ambassador, hello, I, I, sorry, I suddenly feel a little, a little uncomfortable."

He didn't pretend to be immediately affected by Tim's hypnosis, because Beyonders of the "lawyer" path can not only resist mental attacks, but also have some resistance to spiritual attacks.

Hobert's disguise was perfect, and Tim asked with a gentle smile, "Are you a 'savage' or a 'briber'?"

Hobert's expression seemed to be resisting something, but he still said "speak the truth": "The briber."

Tim nodded, that was about as much information as he knew.

No one would have thought that Hobert would become a Sequence 6 so quickly.

"No wonder." Tim said: "You will completely forget about the discomfort now, well, please sit down."

Through the reaction of the "psychological spoon", Hobert knew that the other party's psychological attack had been continuing, and the "resistance" was about the same now, so his expression gradually eased, and his eyes became blank, following Tim's instructions sit down.

Tim said again: "Drink tea!"

Hobert picked up the teacup and began to drink tea. He drank all the tea in the cup and did not put down the cup.

Tim nodded with satisfaction: "Put down the teacup."

Hobert put down the teacup blankly, and couldn't help admiring his acting skills in his heart.

Seeing that the "hypnosis" had worked, Tim began to ask: "What clues did you get from the two cadres of the 'Spiritual Retreat' that you killed before?"

The "Spiritual Retreat" is a cult organization established by a deputy head of the "Judgment Group". The headquarters was captured by a mercenary team before, and two cadres fled to Backlund.

MI[-] learned of this information, but after dispatching informants to search for it to no avail, they issued a mission to the mercenaries.

Hobert entrusted this task to Hugh. Under Hugh's plan, they killed two cultists in the dormitory of a textile factory.

There was also a deceased person at that time. Through psychic communication, Hobert learned that the deceased was actually a spy sent by ambassador Tim.

It was also through that psychic communication that Hobert knew that the Kingdom of Fenepot had been supporting the actions of the "Spiritual Retreat".

Later, when Hobert helped Kelly get rid of the solicitation of the "jury" and did not give the information of the "jury" to MI[-], he connected all the clues together through some information given by Byron.

Hobert replied: "There must be their accomplices in Backlund, otherwise they wouldn't be able to hide so well."

He was a little strange in his heart: this ambassador with a mustache is too cautious, he is just two outcasts, and he still needs to take such a big risk to find himself for questioning?

Tim: "Why didn't you follow this lead?"

"We are only interested in the bounties of those two cultists, and there is no need to investigate further."

"Where did you get the mission from?"

"Mercenary club."

Tim nodded, these were all in line with his guesses and investigations, and then he asked again: "Did you kill Bolton?"

Hobert showed genuine doubts: "Who is Bolton?"

Tim took out a portrait that he had prepared a long time ago. It was the "Dawn Knight" who called himself "John".

Hobert's thoughts changed sharply: No wonder he took the risk to find himself. It turned out that he suspected that the four members of the "judgment team" were killed by me.Your suspicion is quite right, but the method of investigation is not very good.

Then he thought again: Where did the flaw appear?Or was it because he was followed by Tim's eyeliner that he suspected me?
Hobert replied cautiously: "I have seen him."

Tim followed up and asked, "Where did you see it?"

"A studio for a wild 'artisan'."

Tim pondered for a moment, then asked again: "Did you kill Burton?"

Hobert said to himself: It seems that he is not sure whether I killed those people.

So he replied, "No."

"On Tuesday night last week, did you accompany your assistant to negotiate with Bolton and the others?"

"Yes, but when we arrived at the agreed place, we didn't see them. We only found some signs of fighting." Hobert was a little apprehensive. This answer was a bit risky, but it was all he could think of in a flash. Best answer.

Tim's expression was obviously a little confused: "What else did you find?"

"There seems to be some water on the ground." Hobert was relieved, it seemed that Tim didn't know much.

Tim asked again: "Have you told anyone else about this negotiation?"

"No." Hobert said truthfully.

"Are you planning to find other helpers and kill Bolton and others?"

"No." This was still true, because Hobert alone was enough.

Tim pondered for a while before saying: "Okay, our conversation is over, and you will completely forget what we just talked about. When I count to 3, you will wake up by yourself, 1, 2, 3!"

Hobert seemed to come back to his senses suddenly, his eyes recovered, and then he smiled and said, "Sorry, Mr. Ambassador, I, I seemed to be distracted just now."

"It's okay." Tim smiled and said, "I called you here today because I want to ask a few legal questions..."

More than half an hour later, Tim personally sent Hobert out of the embassy, ​​watching the carriage leave, the warm smile on Ambassador Tim's face gradually disappeared: "It seems that we are looking in the wrong direction, do you think there is any suspicion on him? "

The butler who followed Tim replied: "According to my observation, his reaction is normal, and I only found traces of Hobert and his assistants outside the scene. From the window of the scene, it should be No less than two people managed to escape, but they were still caught up or besieged, indicating that the other party had already set up a trap and there were a large number of them, which was not like an action that Hobert and others could complete.

"There must be an organization behind them. Hobert said there is no, or the relevant memories may have been erased."

He suggested: "We can follow Hobert and his assistant for a period of time, and we will definitely find new clues?"

"No." Tim said: "This is Backlund, and our tracking is exposed to MI[-]'s view. Calling Hobert to the embassy this time is already very risky."

As soon as he turned around, he walked into the house and said: "And we have a bigger plan recently, related to Hobart, don't ruin our plan just because of four insignificant people."

The steward followed closely: "I see, I will inform the 'jury' that we have taken a huge risk to conduct a series of investigations, and we can rule out the suspicion of Hobert and others. After all, he is only a Sequence Seven, no It is possible to kill Bolton and others quietly. Didn't Gail say that he still left a trap, so let them continue to investigate."

Tim nodded slightly.
