CH 85

The sunstone is an important material for making "soul ashes," and Rode only lacks this one item at the moment.

To make it, you need a monster's bone ash, a complete soul corresponding to the monster, ten parts of humanity, and a sunstone weighing over thirteen grams.

Once completed, it can summon the corresponding monster's soul entity for battle.

Although it is a disposable item, it can be used as a last resort to save his life in a critical moment.

Rode already has many complete souls and monster bone ashes, and he is not lacking in humanity.

However, because he has no way of purchasing sunstones, he has been unable to make it.

And now, the opportunity has come, hasn't it?

There are so many sunstones, more than enough for him to use.

Rode grasped one, feeling the warmth spreading in his palm. He gently weighed it, and it was definitely more than thirteen grams. Moreover, it was only the size of his thumb, and he could easily bring it into the dream world.

Theft is never good, try looking at bit.ly/3iBfjkV.

"Okay!

I declare that this item has been taken away by the Doomsday Cult. When I arrived, I only saw an empty box."

Rode quickly grasped the sunstone, pinching the lightning symbol, and brought the stone into the dream world.

In just a moment, all twenty sunstones were moved into the dream world by him.

Rode's heart was burning with excitement. He was about to continue searching in the hall when suddenly there was a noise outside. He turned around and saw Scarface rushing in with several guards.

"Rode! Are you okay?"

Scarface rushed over, relieved to see him in one piece, but then he became nervous again.

"Have you been infected? Or cursed? Don't worry, we'll take you to the Soul Church right away. You'll be fine..."

Rode interrupted him and said, "I encountered the Doomsday Cult and found their base." He then explained the whole thing in detail.

The more Scarface and the guards listened, the more surprised they became. One of them couldn't help but interrupt and ask, "How did you find them?"

Rode smiled and said, "Of course, it was through my keen observation skills. Don't forget, I am a fully clairvoyant person."

"But..." The guard was still very skeptical. "Why are the Doomsday Cultists so straightforward? You ask them something, and they answer it. This is too incredible."

"Maybe that person is just not very smart."

The guard wanted to ask more, but another person suddenly interrupted him.

"Quick, come on! This is a big base! It's permanent, not a temporary shelter. They have their altar of prayer, the Black Soul Device, sacrificial items, and even their action plan!"

The guards almost jumped up, their excited expressions evident.

And in the subsequent search, they became more and more amazed. The intelligence they uncovered and the desecrated items they confiscated were unprecedented in the past few years.

After they opened a secret room and saw the pile of corpses in the deep pit, they knew that this time's harvest was even greater than they had imagined.The scar-faced man contacted his superiors, and soon a large number of soldiers and officials from the Internal Judgment Court of the Royal City arrived and quickly took over the scene.

As the main person involved, Rode was taken back to the Military Department of the Royal City and questioned intensively. Among the members questioning him was the Chief Inspector Lauren, who hadn't been seen for about ten days.

He looked very haggard and was surprised to see Rode, but didn't show too much of it. However, his subsequent statements made all the Chief Inspectors more and more surprised. One of them couldn't help interrupting and asking, "What level of combatant are you?"

Lauren explained in a low voice, "He is a special student and a secret operative of the Academy's secret forces."

The other four Chief Inspectors looked at each other, still feeling somewhat incredulous. One of them asked, "How many fire seeds have you ignited? What are their abilities? And what are your psychic levels and maximum psychic intensities?"

Rode answered truthfully, "I have ignited two fire seeds, one is called 'Black Rice Bucket' and the other is 'Grass'. Their abilities are to provide spiritual vision and a means of attack. My psychic level is 2, and the highest psychic intensity I tested last time was 366, which should have increased a lot this time."

The four Chief Inspectors were all very surprised. "Black Rice Bucket? Grass? Your fire seeds are really strange."

"I've never heard of such strange names."

"Did someone from the Mechanic Research Institute go crazy again? Or are you really special?"

"Why do you only care about the names and not my specific data?" Rode answered slightly annoyed, "I don't know."

One of the Chief Inspectors said seriously, "Special student Rode, from the paper data you provided, we cannot accurately judge your actual combat ability, but we believe in the Kimberley Academy and His Excellency Theodore, the Dean."

Another Chief Inspector said, "The most difficult thing to understand in this whole thing is Robert. This person used to work in the logistics department and was very cunning and full of lies. He embezzled a large amount of materials and replaced normal drugs with expired drugs, causing dozens of soldiers to die. It took us a long time to catch him, and his lies allowed him to escape a lot of charges. At that time, he was only dismissed."

"When we found out the truth about everything, he had already disappeared."

"It's hard for us to believe that such a person would confess to all the questions so honestly."

Rode scratched his head. He didn't expect the short guy to have such a legendary experience. In his eyes, this guy was like a jumping clown, but in the end, he was shot by him.

"Of course, this is because I have special interrogation skills."

All five Chief Inspectors turned their attention to him.

"What skills?"

Rode had to tell them about the psychological skills, torture methods, and classic methods similar to the prisoner's dilemma that he had learned.Unexpectedly, the five chief inspectors were all fascinated by Rode's words, and even after he finished speaking, they still wanted more. "Is that all?" one of them asked.

"That's all. I only know this much, it's just my own speculation," Rode replied.

One of the chief inspectors sighed, "It's surprising that none of our professional students know as much as you do. Maybe we rely too much on soul interrogation methods."

"Right, we can't always use special interrogations. We need to develop other methods besides soul interrogation," another chief inspector agreed.

One of the chief inspectors praised, "You're a genius. Are you interested in developing your career at the Internal Adjudication Office?"

Lauren coughed and interrupted them, "Let's discuss this case first."

Rode was still a major suspect in the Redstone Village Migration Team case, and it was still confidential, known only to relevant personnel.

One of the chief inspectors exclaimed excitedly, "This is the largest case of the Apocalypse Cultists we've uncovered today! A complete stronghold! It was right in the Gao Ting district! I never expected it. No wonder we couldn't find it!"

"You've done a great job! We will report your achievements to the academy, and you will receive commendation. If you're willing to become a member of the Internal Adjudication Office after graduation, this will be a great achievement for you and bring you a lot of points."

Rode asked, "If I don't join, will I lose the points?"

The chief inspector laughed, "Of course not. Our system of achievements and honors is very complete, and you don't have to worry about it."

Only Lauren could see what Rode was thinking and said, "Once you become a formal combatant, you can exchange your honor points. You won't lose a single point."

Rode smiled at this.

He had already realized that many of the controlled materials and supplies couldn't be bought with money alone. They needed other currencies, such as credits, to exchange for them. However, credits could only be exchanged at the end of the term, and honor points required becoming a formal combatant. But it didn't matter as long as he didn't lose them.

One of the chief inspectors stood up and said, "The questioning ends here. This is your task process. If there are no problems, please sign it. If there are any issues in the future, we will come to you to verify."

Rode nodded and signed his name on the document after the four chief inspectors left. Lauren stayed behind and looked at him calmly.

"Rode, I've heard about everything that's happened recently. I'm sorry I couldn't come to help you."

Rode replied, "It's okay, Mr. Lauren. I'm fine. How is the investigation going? Has the false district governor, Alexis, who provided false testimony, been exposed? Her accusations against me won't count anymore, right? I can prove that I'm a good person and that I was framed by the Apocalypse Cultists, right?"

Lauren replied calmly, ""Rode, things are not as simple as you think. The fate of the second largest district governor in the outer city has been tampered with. We found the original governor, Gedan, but unfortunately, he has become a fool. We still don't know what means the Polluter Sect used to tamper with a person's fate, and most of the people related to it."

"Even worse, we don't know where their limits are, can they tamper with the fate of higher-level people? Can they affect more people? Do we have any such tampered people among us?"

"All these questions have not been answered, we can only be more careful and cautious in our actions."

"And the complexity of your situation is that you have lost your memory. We have found a lot of information about you and observed you for a long time. You are now completely like a new person, with no similarities in personality, hobbies, and habits. You used to be very lecherous, and all the money you earned was spent on the Red Lane Street. Your reputation is well-known in all three Red Lanes, and many girls are willing to be with you even without money."

"But now, even the girls who have a good impression of you, you haven't even kissed them. There is a view within us that your soul has been replaced, possibly by some evil god or unknown existence. Their suggestion is to destroy you directly to avoid unpredictable risks."

Rode was shocked and covered in cold sweat.

He never thought he would reveal his flaws here.

But he has always been in great danger, how could he have the mood to enjoy?

Even if it's about human nature, how much human nature can he have in one night? Can't we have a group comfort?

Wait for me to get through the crisis, I will show you then!

He quickly explained: "Well, I don't not want to, but Kassan is very violent. Every time I touch her, she beats me up, and I can't beat her."

Lauren looked at him with a slightly amused gray gaze.

"Oh, I see. I will tell Mibor. He is worried about his daughter being bullied and also worried that you are just playing around and will hurt Kassan's heart. You have to understand the difficulties of a father."

"Huh?"

Rode was stunned.

"What does that mean? Is it fake?"

Lauren said seriously: "It's true, but such a view is too absurd, and no one believes it. We think that your memory loss has changed you. Forgetting the past will also forget habits, and the personality developed by habits will also change. This is the answer given by the experts and scholars of the Kimberly Psychological Society, and we have adopted it."

Rode breathed a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness, thank the Kimberly Psychological Society, thank Mr. Lauren for trusting me, thank the experts.

"However, the biggest problem at the moment is what you have done. We have fairly conclusive evidence that you helped the Polluter Sect transport a box of supplies.""But just this action alone cannot prove that you are a believer of the Doomsday Cult or their accomplice. The Polluter Sect often pays ignorant civilians to help them with their tasks. Obviously, these civilians cannot be considered accomplices, as they have no ability to discern their employers. As long as their actions do not violate the royal city's laws, we generally do not pursue them."

"Now, the focus of the investigation on you is whether you were aware of the situation at the time."

Rode hurriedly said, "I certainly didn't know."

Lauren smiled and said, "After your meritorious service, more people will believe this statement. The information you provided this time is very important, and your contribution is even greater than you think. We finally know the two plans they are executing - the Savior Plan and the Eclipse Plan. Although we don't know the specific content of the plans, at least the investigation has a direction."

He stood up and gently patted Rode's shoulder.

"Sister Yusef has prepared a new set of treatment plans for you, and you can go for a visit soon. We hope you can provide us with more useful information. The more you contribute to the elimination of the Polluter Sect, the less likely we will pursue any minor illegal activities that may be discovered in the end."

"Please remember, Lady Green Feather is your protector. She has used her privilege to bind you to our camp. The better you do, the faster her future path will be."

"Please do your best, and if you encounter any trouble, please send me a message through the Spirit Crow Messenger."

Lauren walked out of the room, waving goodbye to him.

"I look forward to your performance, our future star of tomorrow."
