Chapter 551: Interrogation and Deciphering

High Priest Anmusu's eyes flickered.

If Bai Xiaowen had made it clear from the beginning and forced the questioning, An Musu would definitely not have revealed his relationship with these three people. However, before Bai Xiaowen pretended to be a believer, he had already confirmed that An Musu knew these three people, and it was not so easy to deny it.

"These three people... used to be the high priests of the Edjo Temple. Later, they turned their backs on the snake god and established themselves. Until now... I don't know if they are dead or alive."

Li Shuyi's face changed slightly.

Bai Xiaowen narrowed his eyes and said, "Be more specific."

An Musu: "They are inconsistent with our ideas. We are rooted in this land, hoping to reawaken people's respect for the snake god through Edjo's miracles and wonders. This is Edjo's teachings But the three of them asserted that the snake god belief in this land is dead, and they want to find a new piece of pure land, plant the seeds of faith, and reproduce the glory of the patron saint..."

After a pause, An Musu said: "The three of them formed a new sect, named it Silent Tongue, and left here. Since then, we have stopped communicating."

"you are lying."

Bai Xiaowen's half-closed eyes suddenly became fierce, while An Musu was a little flustered under his gaze, and did not dare to look at each other.

"I... I'm telling the truth..."

"There may be some real elements in the front, but the last sentence..." Bai Xiaowen said with a smile, "It is impossible for you to break contact with them. The three of them are pioneers. Once they find a suitable land to spread their faith, you will be needed in the end." These priests and monks. Tell the truth, High Priest Anmusu, or I can only treat you as one of them and punish them all for treason."

An important reason for Bai Xiaowen to judge that An Musu was lying was the unequal strength.

Generally speaking, when a sect splits, the big figures with prestige and strength in it are all opposed to each other, and they each win over a group of middle- and lower-level congregants.

It is impossible to have a situation where all the big shots stand on one side and the middle- and lower-level congregants stand on the other-that is not called splitting, that is called revolution.

Bai Xiaowen knew that the Tiya trio of the Silent Tongue sect were all leader-level, and the most crooked people in front of them were elites, not even a leader... The result was that An Musu and the lower-level monks occupied the temple, and the temple was raised. The Asian trio went to other places to establish their own? is it possible?

Of course, the level of strength belongs to off-site information.

An Musu shook his head stubbornly: "I'm not lying."

"Okay then... tie them all up, and I'll interrogate them one by one slowly." Bai Xiaowen said meaningfully.

Two elite Egyptian officers ordered the soldiers to tie up the priests and monks.

If it was the priests of those big temples, they would not dare to be so presumptuous, but the temple of Edjo is too dilapidated, and it is impossible to arouse any reverence.

Soon, less than a hundred priests and monks in Edjo Temple were separated and detained.

Bai Xiaowen began to interrogate the priest with the highest status.

The interrogation process did not use any violent measures. Bai Xiaowen just gave the other party two choices-the first way was to insist on concealment and be executed for treason; the second way was to tell the truth and succeed Eddie The high priest of the temple.

Although this interrogation routine is very old, it is very effective. Bai Xiaowen has always believed that an organization, no matter how cohesive it is, will produce traitors under the contrast between the temptation of power and the threat of death.

The first few priests who refused to answer were hanged in front of everyone else.

When the heavy corpse fell to the ground and the stench of incontinence spread, no one could keep calm.

In the ruined Edjo Temple, there are unexpectedly many traitors. With everyone's confession, the so-called Silent Tongue Sect and the secrets of the Tia trio pursued by Bai Xiaowen gradually and completely presented in front of Bai Xiaowen.

The fact is as Bai Xiaowen expected,

The three of Tiya are not splitters of the sect, but "forerunners".

After repeated efforts to call back the people's belief in the snake god failed, the priests of the Edjo Temple were on the verge of despair. The patron saint of Lower Egypt, who was once the patron saint of Lower Egypt, is now neglected, with few believers, fewer and fewer monks convert to Edjo, and the life of the sect is getting more and more difficult.

And the three high priests—Moai Taihe, Amos and Tia—established the Tongue of Silence organization. With the help of an ancient and mysterious object, they tried to open the door to a new world and find a pure land suitable for the sowing of faith.

This ancient item is called the Golden Snake Disc.

This is the legendary era of the ancient kingdom more than 2,000 years ago. When Upper and Lower Egypt were not unified, the crown on the head of the King of Lower Egypt was a gift from Edjo, the patron saint of Lower Egypt. It possessed mysterious and powerful power...

As for how to use this power and how to open the door to the new world, these rebellious priests and monks couldn't tell why.

Bai Xiaowen took out the papyrus that was obtained from the snake shepherd Tia at that time, and asked these rebellious priests to translate the lines and marks on the paper. Of course, this process is still carried out separately in order to avoid collusion.

For this reason, it doesn't matter if Bai Xiaowen wastes a little more time.

In the hall of the temple, Bai Xiaowen interrogated the high priest An Musu again.

"An Musu, I will give you one last chance... What is the Golden Snake Disc? Where are Moai Taihe and the others hiding?"

An Musu's old face was expressionless. At this moment, he had already thought through many things.

"Master Secret Envoy, the real reason why you found the Edjo Temple is not to track down the traitors, but for the Golden Snake Disc."

Bai Xiaowen shook his head and smiled: "No, the investigation of traitors is an important goal. The three priests of your sect, including Moai Taihe, are suspected of colluding with the Hittites, so I must find them and find out what they are doing As for you, High Priest Anmusu, as long as you answer my question and get rid of them, you will be fine."

"At this point, there is no need for the emissary to deceive me anymore," Anmusu said calmly, "It is impossible for the three high priests to collude with the Hittites. They are basically isolated from the world, and the Silent Tongue organization carries The last hope of the Zombie Sect. When the enemy threatens with death, I will be silent, and this is the purpose of the Silent Tongue."

At this time, two Egyptian soldiers brought up a stack of papyrus—this is the interpretation of Tia's map by many priests and monks.

Bai Xiaowen flipped through them, extracting the commonalities among them. A three-dimensional structural diagram gradually took shape in Bai Xiaowen's mind.

Suddenly, Bai Xiaowen laughed: "An Musu, the people under you don't seem to be as determined as you... Now, I don't need to ask you anymore."
