As Yelai recounted the events in detail, Zhang Yinlin's eyes widened, filled with astonishment.
Xu Min actually came to the Safe Zone? He even sought you out? Well, given your situation, it’s no surprise he would be interested in you.
Thinking about Yelai's circumstances, she felt somewhat relieved. Although Xu Min was a globally renowned Sequence Scholar with an extraordinary status, even as an ordinary person, his contributions to the Sequence commanded respect from even the most powerful Sequencers. It was precisely because of Xu Min's contributions that Yelai had caught his attention.
Yelai, if Xu Min wants to collaborate with you, you need to be cautious, Zhang Yinlin advised.
What you know about Xu Min is that three years ago he was great and kind-hearted, but there have been some negative news about him in recent years. It is said that he conducted experiments on Sequencers for research purposes and that he has caused the deaths of many people. I don’t know if the rumors are true, but we should be on guard.
Yinlin, don’t worry. I’m not that reckless. Yelai nodded. I’ve died once; I cherish my life.
Then let’s proceed. Zhang Yinlin took the cleaned bell peppers from Yelai.
I’ll finish making the bell pepper rice bowl. Once we’re done eating, we can interrogate Zhong Zhi at the Defense Force Base. Ahem.
Yinlin, are you sure your cough has eased? Yelai noticed that Zhang Yinlin had been coughing since he arrived.
No, I just got choked by the cooking fumes earlier. Zhang Yinlin smiled and quickly chopped the bell peppers.
Yelai remained silent.
Zhang Yinlin understood him well; he also understood Zhang Yinlin. She was like an older sister raising her younger siblings alone—never directly voicing her worries or discomforts.
Perhaps next time when collaborating with Xu Min, she could ask him for something to alleviate or treat Yinlin’s cough as part of their compensation, Yelai pondered.
Collaborating with Xu Min certainly carries risks, and being a Sequencer means constantly being in danger. However, this danger seemed trivial in Yelai's eyes compared to the risks he faced during his three years outside Cthulhu Town.
Soon, Yelai had finished a meal with Zhang Yinlin. The two immediately set out for the Defense Force Base. Inside, Zhong Zhi awaited them.
The Fifth Squad Captain, responsible for guarding Zhong Zhi, noticed Yelai's arrival and gestured toward the cell door behind him.
Creak.
The cell door swung open.
Yelai caught sight of Zhong Zhi lying on the bed in the cell, his legs rendered useless.
Upon realizing it was Yelai who entered, Zhong Zhi's voice rumbled low like a beast's growl, his eyes bloodshot. His current predicament was closely tied to Yelai.
"Looks like you still have some spirit left; you can still bark at me," Yelai said with a smile.
"Do you want to interrogate him here or in the interrogation room?" Captain Wu asked.
"Here is fine; otherwise, I’d have to carry Zhong Zhi over, which would be too much trouble."
"Alright." Captain Wu nodded. "Do you need me to fetch any interrogation tools?"
"I don't need those."
Captain Wu was taken aback, seeing Yelai cracking his knuckles. "Then how do you plan to interrogate him?" he asked, somewhat amused.
He then pulled Yelai aside, concerned that Yelai might lose face in front of Zhong Zhi. He whispered, "You can interrogate others; maybe if you land a few punches on him, he'll feel the pain and start talking. But that won't work on Zhong Zhi; he's not an ordinary person."
Just earlier, Captain Wang and his team had tried various methods, and even with their subsequent interrogation tools, they hadn’t managed to extract much from Zhong Zhi.
To put it bluntly, you're just using that technique of poking needles into the gaps like Rong Mama. Zhong Zhi is probably just as tolerant as Ziweih. Especially now that this guy hates you to the core; if you just beat him up, he definitely won't say a word.
