59 – Drowning (7)

Due to Innis and Lilia’s cooperation, Morve was easily captured.

She was thrown into the depths of her cellar with her body restrained.

The sound of a person’s body hitting the barren stone floor echoed.

“As expected, I like the Devil’s Land. Get a place like this.”

“Personally, I hoped I wouldn’t have to write anything, but…”

Innis shook her head and smiled wryly.

Because of the nature of this case, which started with a ‘letter’, there was a high probability that a human was the culprit, so the specially dispatched devils and witches were given a soundproof room where they could be interrogated freely.

Morver, a very strong suspect and has already committed a crime, cannot be confined to her inn. So she was brought to the cellar like this. Of course, there are other reasons as well.

“Then what about him?”

“As expected, we should start with the interrogation. We will blow everything we know!”

“Hey, senpai, is this witch vampire? Didn’t you use blood magic with her tongue after taking off her gag?”

Layla stabbed her to the core. That’s what it says. She has to get information from Morbe. However, it is too risky for her to unleash her restraints prematurely.

“Oops!”

Morbe was dissatisfied with her restraints, and even though her whole body was restrained, she let out her displeasure by leaping like a live fish.

“Lilia, I’m sorry, but can you restrain me a little harder?”

“Of course you can, Innis.”

Lilia smiled at Innis’ request. She took out her cane, which had been overworked even today, and knocked a couple of times, tapping her in the air as if bursting her flower bud.

【Ivy Chain】

A restraint magic that she often uses. The sharp iron vines wrapped around Morbe’s body.

“Aww!!”

Now that she couldn’t even jump like her live fish, Morve showed her displeasure even more.

“Ummm…So what about this?”

As Inis rested her chin on her chin, Lila cautiously raised her hand.

“Hey, how about something like this?”

“What is it, Mr. Lila?”

Koh-Hum, after slitting her throat once, Layla made a motion.

“Don’t bother taking off the gag, just communicate with her eyes.”

“Eyes? You can tell just by looking at them… What is that? That’s great, Mr. Layla!”

“Is that so?! Innis-san, I don’t have that ability…”

No, no. Even in the original setting, I couldn’t read anything like that.

“It’s not different, if you blink your right eye, it’s ‘yes’. If you blink your left eye, it’s ‘no.’ Limited to.”

Certainly, it’s the most usable method right now. One of the classic methods used when interrogating an opponent who cannot use their mouth and hands. Classic but useful. Classics are classics for a reason. You can show off yourself even today.

“…Is Layla a genius?”

“You are a genius.”

“Eh, ah what. I have this much…”

Her false modesty trembles, but her mouth twitched as if her heart didn’t. She then glanced back at Lillia, watching her reaction.

“That’s a good idea.”

“!”

As Lilia responded in her affirmation, Lila opened her mouth, which she was barely firming up.

Her expressionless expression, like a plate of thin ice, was shattered, and a bright smile appeared on her face.

“By the way.”

Lilia raised her finger and pointed at her morbe.

“What can we get out of a guy who behaves like that?”

As Lillia said, it seemed difficult to get information from Morbe with Layla’s interrogation method.

Blink blink blink blink.

Morve overheard our conversation and blinked like crazy. It’s a kind of protest. It is a very childish and sure strike that they will never spit out information that way.

Lila looked at her and hardened her smiling face. She became expressionless like thin ice again.

However, the disappointment and anger that flowed beneath the ice sheet were not erased, and it gave off a strangely dejected atmosphere.

“Aww!!”

Morve opened her ax eye and glared at me as if to complain of her frustration.

“What is that really…?”

Lillia put her finger on her forehead and shook her head. Her headache, caused by her irritability, stimulated her diligently today.

“I see. There are so many things we don’t know about this case. I want to get information quickly on what I’ve caught…”

After Innis finished, Laila raised her hand again cautiously.

“Well then…”

She turned her head and looked at the other people’s eyes, then suggested it in a much more uncertain voice than before.

“As expected, to make them confess through torture…”

“…”

“…”

“…Oh.”

Suggesting such a method, Layla, does it when she does it too. I let out a faint exclamation. Maybe it’s because I’m stuck in rap, theoretically it’s perfect.

Because smooth conversations don’t work, violence! It is a simple and exemplary answer.

Lilia laughed bitterly, and Innis frowned at her in displeasure.

“Torture is not allowed! No matter how much this person is garbage that is of no use to society, waste that is more insignificant than food scraps! I will follow the humane policy!”

Lilia also supported that opinion.

“Innis is right. Although a witch has many powers, she has no right to torture for investigation.”

“That’s right! No matter how much this woman attacked Iba, it’s a b*tch! No torture! To do it last, last! When it’s unavoidable!”

“I see…”

At those words, I clicked my tongue slightly. I thought it was a chance to show off the 108 torture skills cultivated through my mercenary life.

The white bone extending from the index finger, long and thin like a long needle, was removed by activating the brand with tears in it.

It was a good opportunity to be buried in memories after a long time. It was unfortunate.

“Ah… I see… I made a mistake. I’m sorry.”

Lila bowed her head.

Lilia’s hand was placed on top of Lila’s head.

“It could be. Don’t worry too much about it.”

As if complimenting her Lila earlier, Lilia ran her hand through her purple hair. Her tangled hair swayed with the touch.

“…Yes.”

But Lila’s expression was more subtle than before. Her sense of self-doubt was palpable just by looking at her. It seems that the country is also like that.

I also tried to be active in anything when I was a freshman, but she got depressed because she didn’t do anything properly. Lyla would feel the same way.

That’s why I must have chosen to accompany you even though I was afraid.

The fear of not being helpful must have been bigger and heavier than the fear of me.

Pair.

I cheered up the atmosphere by clapping.

“So? Are there any better ways to interrogate that madman other than torture?”

“Hmm…”

“Ahahahaha, sorry. I’m not sure…”

Lillia groaned as she folded her arms and closed her eyes. Innis smiled shyly and scratched his cheek. It seemed that neither of them had a good plan. Even as a magician, it seems that he is not omnipotent.

Still, they did a great job securing Morbe. It would be too much to criticize him for being incompetent.

I wondered if there was such a thing as a drug that made me speak only the truth, but unfortunately it turned out.

“No really? Why are so many wizards so inventive!”

Still, I couldn’t help but feel disappointed.

Lilia averted her gaze, then she glared back at me. Still, it seems shameful to be in this situation where you can’t think of any solution because your ear lobe is red.

I let out a deep sigh and put my hands on my hips.

“I can’t help it! Then I have no choice but to use the room I’ve hidden!”

Oh, I just wanted to put my hands on it until it was done quietly. If you’re a magician, I want you to use magic that brings out the other person’s thoughts and displays them. Is there no magic like hypnosis?

“Take it out from the beginning. Madman please.”

Ah, I thought the wizards would take care of everything. I confidently confronted Lilia’s stare at me. Because she was confident without any shame.

Personally, I really didn’t want to write this plan, but I can’t help it because I’m in a hurry.

If I don’t clear my doubts right away, I don’t know what witches might still be afraid of me. It’s fortunate that it ends with fear, but it can also lead to doubt.

I looked at Lila quietly. My eyes met, she lowered her gaze, then turned her head right next to her.

It was unexpected. I thought I’d roll her eyes while frowning at her. Did she have a change of heart or something?

“As expected, Iba, it’s great! So? What’s the plan? Let me know!”

Innis asked, her eyes twinkling. It’s not such a great idea.

“Blackmail.”

“…Threats?”

“Yes. I will threaten you into telling the truth.”

“No wait.”

Lillia interrupted her words in an embarrassing way.

“Threats, with what?”

Lilia’s question was reasonable.

Intimidation basically requires knowing something that the target values. In other words, you need to know the value standard.

But you have to see Morbe. You don’t know what you value or what you value. It was only natural that ordinary people would not know the value standard of a madman. I don’t really know either.

That’s why misunderstandings happen. Trying to judge those who are far away from general value judgments with his own eyes, he can’t think of a means of intimidation.

But I am different. As a euthanasia specialist and semi-mad, I can read a snippet, but not all of the madman’s thoughts.

A half-crazy bastard is good at this. You can read both normal and crazy thoughts at the same time.

In terms of being able to sympathize with your thoughts, it means that I can become a sympathizer for everyone.

Wildflowers can extend their hands to both the flowers of the nobility blooming in the flower bed and the grass in the smoke. How benevolent they are.

Look sage. My heart is full of mercy I’m not the devil I can control my emotions!

“Secret.”

I answered that and moved her feet to get closer to Morbe.

I crouched down and brought her face close enough that I could count the number of veins in her eyes.

“Hey wait a minute. It’s dangerous. Back away! And get closer! Get away!”

Ignoring Innis’ words, he whispered in Morbe’s ear.

“Follow us.”

“Huh.”

Morveh’s mouth is shut, but she can feel her snort now. Yeah, that would be ridiculous If you say that, Puck will cooperate.

So, we have to put conditions on it.

For her to obey, not to rebel.

“If not.”

What Morbe considers most important right now.

“I will die.”

That being is none other than me.

The existence that I have been chasing after like crazy for half a year.

A being so obsessed with her that she wastes her time again and again.

She yearned for me, spending her own resources to near pointlessness.

I still don’t know why. Maybe I’m greedy for my body, or I want to manipulate me or something like that.

“mmm!!”

Morve, who heard me, jumped wildly despite this strong restraint.

As expected, the response is good.

“Ugh!! Ugh!!!”

Her eyes were wide open, and her veins were greatly swollen. Tears welled up in her bloodshot eyes. I smiled and whispered in her ear again.

“The demon came on the train. This sentence puts my position in danger. If the investigation proceeds, I will be accused and subdued.”

“Ugh! Ugh!”

Morve shuddered as if she had been struck by lightning. You might want to move her body right now, but Lilia’s magic is strong. Her breath gasped with great excitement, and tears welled up in her eyes.

“I don’t care if you don’t. If you don’t cooperate, I’ll stab myself in the heart. Remember my curse? If I stab you with that cursed blade, I’ll regenerate, and I’ll die too.”

I smiled even thicker and whispered.

“So, cooperate. If you don’t want the devil dear to you to die. Please tell me why you wrote this letter.”

She put her hand on her gag which bit her.

“For the answer, let’s go to the room Mr. Layla said earlier. If you’re going to cooperate, blink your right eye. If not, blink your left eye and see me committing suicide. Answer on the count of three. Now, one…”

Before she could finish her words, Morbe frantically opened her right eye. It was so fast that it even gave the illusion of looking at her sewing machine.

“Oh, you’re scared. Come on, tell me.”

I undid her gag as Morve was biting her. I could feel the people behind me getting agitated by the scene. I promised, so it’s okay. These guys keep their promises.

The gag she was biting on was dripping with saliva. As if the afterglow of her still biting her gag hadn’t gone away, he spread his own saliva on her floor.

“What, what, what are you doing! After all, that necromancer’s gang…”

“Be quiet and listen. Hey Morbe. What does the letter mean?”

I quieted the most flustered Lila and asked Morbe again.

Morve, who was lying on her floor gasping for breath, looked up at me and exclaimed.

“What do you mean letters? I’ve never written anything like that!”
