Barrier of Light

Chapter 5 Interrogation

"Name."

"...Gu Shen."

"age."

"Seventeen years old, one month and three days left for my birthday... It is necessary to remind everyone that I am still underage. If you want to do something, you have to think carefully... Some things are legally responsible !"

"gender."

"???"

Under the spotlight, in the interrogation room, there are three people on a table.

Wei Shu is on the left, Nan Jin is on the right, and Gu Shen on the opposite side is handcuffed to a chair by vines, and keeps winking at the person on the right to send distress signals, but is constantly ignored.

"Place of residence."

"...Room 703, Building 13, Beihuan Residential House, Datang City, Qinghe District, Dongzhou...Brother, is this checking your household registration?"

After routinely asking about personal information, Wei Shu nodded to the camera in the upper right corner.

The basic information is correct, and the boy did not lie.

Mr. Shu in front of the screen held hot tea, smiled and snapped his fingers.

"Pa-ta--"

In the interrogation room, the two vine handcuffs were loosened and turned into ashes.

Gu Shen breathed a sigh of relief, moved his wrist, and finally felt comfortable. He grinned at the camera, and nodded his thanks... He could tell that the old man was not a bad person. The handcuffs tortured him for a long time, but they were only tightly bound, not strangled.

The interrogation has officially started, but the chief interrogator, Wei Shu, is sitting in a chair and lost in thought... On the way to the interrogation room by helicopter, he read the boy's file no less than ten times, from birth trajectory to major deeds. He is a very ordinary boy.

But at the last moment of the deep-sea link, he provided him with a video on the light rail train.

Under the influence of A-009's ability, the light source in the entire carriage was almost broken, and the specific details could not be seen clearly, but it could be seen... This young man named Gu Shen maintained absolute calm during the conversation with A-009.

This is rare, but nothing.

A-009 is a crazy "out-of-control person". Her characteristics have not been fully discovered...but obviously, it is useless to be calm in front of her. If it is someone else, there is a high probability that she will become a... corpse.

In the video, the boy actually made A-009 "calm down" too!

Wei Shu leaned forward slowly, his fairly handsome face was rendered eerie and pale under the light.

During an interrogation, this is a way of applying pressure.

The boy was put in shackles because his "dangerousness" is still uncertain. A guy who can "tame" A-009 cannot attract too much attention.

According to past experience, people with ordinary files like this often have many unknown secrets, are good at disguising, refuse to communicate, and will not cooperate even if they enter the interrogation room. Wei Shu thinks this is a difficult nut to crack. He is ready to fight a long battle.

He said word by word, "You have the right to remain silent, but every word you say will become evidence in court and be recorded in the file."

The young man had a dazed expression on his face, and the disguise was good, but Wei Shu's eyes caught it sharply, and the other party swallowed.

Hmm, it's an expression of nervousness... Has it worked?

Wei Shu: "What happened on the No. 13 light rail at 23 o'clock last night? We have the video, as long as you are truthful..."

"Ah sir."

Gu Shen interrupted him and scratched his head: "I'm sorry...I'm too thirsty, can I have some water?"

Wei Shu frowned.

"Are you curious about what happened on the train, sir?" Gu Shen cleared his throat after drinking the water, and gestured with lingering fear: "Let me tell you... this train is too scary, I'm just a child, After getting in the car, I saw a big man of eight feet, oh no, a burly lady..."

Wei Shu stared blankly at Gu Shen dancing and dancing, and vividly described what happened after getting into the car.

It is completely different from what I imagined.

This is not a reticent diehard who refuses to communicate at all, but a social bully who doesn't tell himself the whole story.

There were some minor problems with the video footage of this light rail trip.

Seemingly eroded by the power of A-009, Shenhai only provided a small part of the picture about to exit the tunnel. According to the young man's eloquent description, Wei Shu completed the whole process of the real event bit by bit.

Half an hour later, the world was finally quiet.

Gu Shen slumped on the chair, took another big sip of water, and asked expectantly, "Sir, how did I go just now?"

He concealed the story of seeing the girl in the white dress and the last silver ruler.

This kind of concealment is a kind of temptation and also a protection for oneself.

The other party didn't seem to notice something was wrong... This disappointed Gu Shen, it seemed that the surveillance system in the car was damaged.

"...It's very good, don't tell me any more."

Nan Jin responded coldly.

She glanced at the blank file in Wei Shu's hand, which was filled with densely packed writing at the moment. This interrogation was undoubtedly a fruitful one, because the expected questions had been reasonably filled.

This boy discovered the characteristics of "A-009" in the first encounter, successfully dealt with it, and survived... Although this explanation sounds incredible.

But the real person is right in front of him.

This boy named Gu Shen looks harmless to humans and animals, with a pure face, but Nan Jin knows very well that what happened on the train cannot be done by pure luck... It requires a very strong observation ability.

"that……"

Gu Shen asked cautiously: "Sir, have you finished the transcript? Can I go home?"

Nan Jin hesitated.

Wei Shu stroked his fingers silently, looked at the transcript, and didn't know how to respond for a while.

"Squeak—"

At this moment, the door of the interrogation room was slowly pushed open.

"Teacher." Nan Jin stood up respectfully.

Wei Shu hurriedly trotted over to send the file, and the old man with the dragon head stick stood in front of the door, just glanced at the file, then smiled and waved his hand to signal Wei Shu to keep it by himself.

"Young man, come here." He smiled and waved to Gu Shen: "Come out with me and have a chat, and I'll take you home after the chat."

...

...

Gu Shen and Mr. Shu came to the rooftop.

A cool breeze blows.

After going through this series of changes, Gu Shen's original spirit was already quite tired, but now he is much more sober.

"Young man." Mr. Shu said softly: "I saw the surveillance in the carriage. You are excellent. You can deduce the 'answer' to the question by observing the newspaper of A-009 at close range. It’s not something ordinary people can have.”

With such a boast, Gu Shen was a little embarrassed on the surface.

But in fact, his heart didn't fluctuate much.

Hmm... It seems that the scene where I took over the "ruler" is lost.

Gu Shen tightened his clothes, smiled awkwardly, "Good luck, good luck."

"You are indeed lucky."

Mr. Shu said lightly: "You know, if you had physical contact with A-009, it would be a puddle of corpses now."

Gu Shen was startled.

He looked aside, this old man's face was full of dimples, but his eyes were clear and clear, without any cloudiness. Being beside him, he would not feel the slightest pressure, but it was like bathing in the spring breeze.

"Normal people will not be as calm as you when they come into contact with 'extraordinary events', and after surviving, they will not be calm." Mr. Shu smiled: "We are alone this time, do you have any questions? "

"...Actually, there are."

Gu Shen sighed softly, and said with a smile: "But there are some questions, it's better not to ask them, I still understand the truth."

What a smart boy.

There was a look of approval in the old man's eyes.

But there are some things that don't have to be asked before they can be said.

"Before A-009 lost control, she was a member of the Ancient Literature Society. This organization spread across five continents and studied taboo science. She possessed the extraordinary power of 'corrosion and dissolution'. Because of indulging in the power of taboo, she eventually sent herself into the abyss."

Although Gu Shen didn't ask, Mr. Shu still spoke, and he said in a calm tone: "Then... she became what she is now. For some research needs, we didn't kill her directly, but Constantly detained and transferred."

"Although you were lucky and didn't suffer any injuries in this accident. But after this incident, you have already connected with the world of superhumans."

"From now on, it will be difficult for your life to calm down."

Speaking of this, Mr. Shu moved his head slowly.

He looked at the boy, and sincerely stated the real purpose of this rooftop meeting: "Why don't you think about it and join me?"

"..."

Gu Shen had a headache.

The reason why he chose not to ask questions was because he wanted to avoid similar troubles... Extraordinary world, what the hell is this? Are these extraordinary beings who really dominate the world order?

It's just that he knows it too.

If this is the truth, then even if you ignore it, the truth will not change.

"You can think about it, this is my number."

The old man took out a note from his arms and wrote a string of numbers: "Call anytime if you change your mind."

Gu Shen stood on the rooftop, silent for a moment.

He finally chose to take the note, but only glanced at it.

Gu Shen has always had a good memory, he quickly memorized the numbers on it, then crumpled the note into a ball and threw it out of the rooftop.

Seeing this scene, Mr. Shu was slightly surprised, but he smiled immediately, and he didn't ask Gu Shen if he remembered that at the moment when Gu Shen threw the ball of paper, he snapped his fingers lightly——

"laugh!"

This piece recorded the contact information of Mr. Shu, and it spontaneously ignited without fire, and gradually turned into ashes.
