Chapter 224: Reality

"Immediately make an arrest of heretic 0006 Bai Liu!!!"

Su Yang took out his walkie-talkie and ordered in a stern voice: "HQ is sending a large number of gas masks and exhaust fans, the rest of the team will go to the periphery and get the exhaust fans to surround the whole factory."

"Make sure to keep the aroma spilled from the explosion under control!"

The team received the order to salute and turned to leave.

On the open space in front of the factory, only a few members of the team who had raised their guns to aim at Bai Liu, Su Yang, and Lu Yizhan, who had not regained his senses at all, looked incredulously at Bai Liu, whose clothes were fluttering in the night wind.

Bai Liu still had the leisure to wave at him, without any self-consciousness that he had committed a mortal sin and needed to run away immediately, smilingly looking at Lu Yizhan : "Remember to treat me to thirty years of hot pot, Lu Yizhan."

Lu Yizhan was subconsciously taken away by Bai Liu's words, and was about to ask, "Isn't it ten years of hot pot?

How did the price suddenly go up to thirty years?

But before Lu Yizhan could ask the question, Bai Liu raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, as if he could see the team members coming around from behind him, ready to arrest him, and fully prepared to surrender.

The team was stunned for less than a second, and quickly moved forward to clasp Bai Liu's hands behind his back and handcuff his wrists with the strongest and tightest handcuffs they could find.

At this time, Su Yang's serious reminder came out from the communicator hanging on the shoulder of one of the team members, "Be careful not to talk to him! Team Tang has said that he has an extremely strong verbal compulsion to strangers! He's very good at guiding people to do things for him!"

"Is that right Captain Su?" The handcuffed Bai Liu slowly and methodically approached the team member's communicator, tapped the answer button with her chin before the team member could respond, and smiled into the communicator, "If I say I have the solution to the rose perfume on you, am I not allowed to speak either?"

The eyes of all the team members looked straight at Bai Liu in a flash, and one of the team members couldn't hold back, and even directly stepped forward and grabbed Bai Liu's neck to ask him what the solution was!

It was a way to save Captain Su and the thousand ordinary people in the Heretic Bureau!

Su Yang's breath stalled for a second before she gave the order in a cold voice, "Shackle him at the mouth and forbid anyone to have any personal contact with him until HQ comes to take him over!"

"Of course if you're willing to explain where you set the explosion, I can get you to talk." Su Yang slowed her tone, a common method of psychological pressure in their interrogation sessions.

Bai Liu sighs, and replies honestly, "I really did try to stop it, but sure enough explosions are the only thing that solves everything."

Su Yang paused for less than a second, "Hold his mouth and forbid him from communicating with anyone, don't let anything he says guide you."

The team stuck a huge ring shackle on both sides of Bai Liu's molar teeth in his mouth, holding his upper and lower jaws open - this is usually used on heretics to prevent them from attacking or biting during transportation, kind of like a dentist's forced-open mouthpiece.

But it looks a lot creepier than the forced openers.

Bai Liu was escorted down from the roof of the building with his mouth half-open and unable to speak, and when he passed Lu Yizhan, Bai Liu glanced at him askance, and was handcuffed behind his back with the number thirty.

And Lu Yizhan watched dumbfounded as Bai Liu crossed him and was escorted to the car.

Lu Yizhan's knees were a little weak for a moment, he took two deep breaths to stabilize himself, and looked up at Su Yang who followed the car up : "What are you ...... going to take Bai Liu for?"

"Interrogation." Su Yang put one foot on the car and turned to look at Lu Yizhan behind him, "Leave it to the professionals to interrogate with the means of a true interrogation of a heretic."

When he finished, he pulled the car door closed.

The last time Lu Yizhan saw Bai Liu, the man looked up at him with eyes as calm as water.

--as if he had expected all this.

--------

The car, already on its way to the factory, swerved at breakneck speed at Mu Ke's wheel and headed the other way, its tires leaving blackened tire marks on the pavement.

"Bai Liu's phone is unavailable, right?" Mu Ke kept his eyes controlled above the road, but his entire body was leaning towards the backseat, his tone so deep that it could drip, "Bai Liu didn't hang up the phone when he just made that proclamation, Captain Tang, you do realize what that means that Bai Liu has done for you, right?"

"He should have been captured by your Heretic Authority people, you'd better throw in the towel and rescue him." Mu Ke's eyes were gloomy to the limit, "Otherwise, if anything happens to Bai Liu, I won't let go of any of you Heretic Authority people."

"Including you, Captain Don." Mu Ke glanced sorrowfully in the rearview mirror.

Sitting in the back row, Tang Er's brain was no clearer than paste now, and Bai Liu's words just now had stirred him up into a mess-obviously, it was the same approach as the other timelines, but the purpose was completely different.

This makes Tang Er fight wonder if the Bai Liu of the other timeline is also trying to save lives.

But Tang Er hit quickly dismissed such thoughts - Bai Liu wasn't there to save anyone at all; the reason he was at the factory was to spectate, or rather, to admire the world-crushing explosion that made the world fall apart.

Bai Liu knew when Generation Factory Manager would detonate the factory, and he deliberately directed an entire third detachment to the Rose Factory at that point in time, and then stood on the top floor with the best view, just to have a front-row seat for a close-up view of the catastrophe that was tormenting everyone.

But Bai Liu is a completely different story - this guy actually found inspiration within this kind of thing and did what he hadn't been able to do before with this complete lack of retreat.

Tang Er never imagined that there was such a thing as presupposing one's own position and threatening others to follow one's lead, but that was certainly Bai Liu's style of doing things.

The process is grueling, the means are outrageous, the public is raised and the cost is high - it's simply not something a normal person could come up with.

But Bai Liu did achieve his goal.

The sirens echoed shrilly in the sky over and over again, and as the lights now began to come on one by one in the houses on both sides of the street, Tang Er hit on the sight of panic-stricken people running out of their homes, coming down in their pajamas and hurrying to drive as the sirens continued to sound and move closer and closer to the outskirts of the city.

At the same time, a considerable number of heavily armed police officers arrived amidst the sirens, and Tang Erda saw some of his team members follow.

They were masked and gloved, wrapped tightly from head to tail, each holding a shield-sized electric fan-like extractor fan in their hands, trained and yards away, forming a line of defense around the factory five kilometers away in reverse exhaust.

The originally quiet street was instantly buzzing with activity.

Tang Er fought to maintain a basic level of composure, desperately trying to claw his way out of this bizarre state of affairs:

"Bai Liu's cell phone is off, he should be controlled by the team members, Mu Sicheng's cell phone is not in the service area, it's not clear what the situation is yet, if Bai Liu and Mu Sicheng are controlled by the Heresy Handling Bureau together, two high-risk heretics, then they are likely to be transferred to the General Directorate for interrogation. "

Tang Er hitched a long breath, "If Bai Liu covered Mu Sicheng and was arrested by himself - I know the Heresy Handling Bureau has a stronghold three kilometers from here."

"--Specialized for pre-processing heretics who are about to enter the Directorate, now that the explosion hasn't happened yet, in order to get specific information about the explosion, Bai Liu will most likely be transported there by the Heresy Processing Bureau for interrogation."

"What if, during the interrogation, Bai Liu says nothing and continues to pretend to be the initiator of the bombing in order to ensure that this citywide retreat continues?" Mu Ke asked calmly.

Tang Er hit's voice was a bit raspy, "...... We could use some of that on him, heresy specifically for interrogation ......"

Mu Ke's grip on the steering wheel tightened, "Like that Mo Fei magic mirror, right?"

Tang Er hit closed his eyes and replied in a hard voice, "...... Yes."

Mu Ke grits his teeth and slams his foot down on the gas.

--------

Bai Liu was taken into an interrogation room covered with a black cloth, which was only lifted from his face when he was seated.

Looking at the person across from him, Bai Liu raised an eyebrow in slight surprise.

Su Yang gazes at him with heavy eyes, inserts her fingers into his mouth and touches a ring stuck on both of Bai Liu's molars. Su Yang's fingertip hooks slightly, and the shackle, which prevents Bai Liu from speaking, makes a clicking sound and is removed from Bai Liu's face.

The pressure on his gums caused blood to ooze from the corners of Bai Liu's mouth the moment he was removed from the yoke.

He absently licked away the blood with cold metallic gas around his mouth, lifting his eyes to look straight at Su Yang, seemingly smiling, "I didn't expect that Captain Su would still be interested in arraigning me for a second time."

"Isn't this what you want to see?" Su Yang didn't dodge either, looking straight into Bai Liu's eyes, "You pointed out that I was the one who was poisoned by the rose perfume, and you used that to lure my team members, if they were the ones who came to interrogate you, in fear of me, they could easily be taken away by the handle you grabbed."

Bai Liu leaned back in his seat with his hands handcuffed and cuffed behind his back, but the smile on his face grew thicker, "So in order to protect the team from me, you chose to come in person, Captain Su, you're really a good captain."

"- reminds me of another not-so-popular captain."

"Compared to you." Bai Liu lifted his eyelids and smiled at Su Yang, "It's pathetic how he's being treated by the crew, no one even cares where he's been after such a big deal."

The thought of being beaten up by Tang Er, who had been questioning him, made Su Yang's heart sink, and he clenched his hands on his knees, but he quickly forced himself to calm down, not to be distracted by Bai Liu, and continued to calmly confront him.

The captain was right, Bai Liu is too good at manipulating people's emotions, it's like a heretical ability.

"You wanted me to interrogate you, and now you've accomplished that." Su Yang looked straight at Bai Liu, "Now are you willing to tell me where the blast site is?"

"No, I won't." Bai Liu said softly.

Su Yang stared nicely at Bai Liu : "Why are you doing this? If you have any purpose, you can tell us, we, the Heresy Handling Bureau, can help you achieve it in a more reasonable way too."

"There's no reason for that." Bai Liu spared a glance across the table at Su Yang, "If I must say, I'm just thinking of telling the rest of the people in this world that there exists a third mesmerizing pastime besides cigarettes and alcohol."

"They should try roses for a taste." Bai Liu leaned forward and leaned close to Su Yang's ear to whisper with a soft smile. "Because it's really, really wonderful."

"I'm sure your captain, too, would agree with me."

Su Yang's pupils contracted slightly.
