Chapter 146: Looking For The Shadow (Part 2)

When Tasa regained consciousness, he felt a stabbing pain in the back of his neck.

Damn it, these women are really ruthless. He opened his eyes, tried to move, and found that his hands were firmly tied behind his back, and his feet were tied separately to the two chair legs.

"He's awake," a woman's voice came from next to my ear.

"Your name?" A person walked up to him and raised his chin, "I suggest you not to lie, otherwise you will become a floating corpse in the moat tomorrow."

Tasa blinked. The woman in front of her was wearing a veil and her whole body was covered by a robe. She obviously didn't want her to see her appearance.

"Tassa." He replied truthfully, while quietly looking around.

It was a cramped room surrounded by dusty plaster statues, some completed and some apparently half-carved. Accumulated dust has stained the plaster a taupe, as if it had been abandoned for a long time. There are no windows in the room, the sky cannot be seen, and the time cannot be guessed. The only light source comes from an oil lamp on the wall.

"From Falling Dragon Ridge to Silver Light City, you have worked tirelessly," the woman said coldly, "What do you want from us?"

"It's not me looking for you, it's the mutual aid association looking for you."

"What is a mutual aid society?"

"A witch organization like you, I was entrusted by them to spread the news."

"It's nonsense," she said sharply, "I don't know where you heard this name, but the Mutual Aid Society is far away in Haifeng County in the east, do you think we will believe it if you just use any name?" Suddenly, Tasa pulled out a dagger and found that it was the one he used before, "I'll give you one last chance, don't challenge my patience!"

"What I said is true!" He said in a suppressed voice that wanted to shout but didn't dare to shout out loud, "They originally planned to go to the Impassable Mountains to find the holy mountain, but now they not only found the holy mountain but also found it in Border Town. After settling down, the symptoms of phagocytosis disappeared, so they want to rescue more witches, I swear I am not lying!"

"Then why did they find you?"

"Because I helped them, when a member of the Freedom Society was chased by the Church Judgment Army, I helped her divert the pursuers. Their mentor is called Hakara, and Wendy and Scroll are the ones who asked me to come! "

The masked woman was silent for a moment after listening, inserted the dagger into her waist, and walked behind him. Soon, Tasa heard two people muttering from behind.

The fledglings, he commented in his heart, these two men were good at playing tricks, but interrogation was a total novice.

The most taboo of interrogation is to only give one choice. If the answer is not asked, it is easy to drive the interrogator to a corner. Should he kill or not? If you kill him, you will lose the possibility of obtaining information. If you don't kill him, it means you have failed to realize the threat you uttered. This would severely damage the interrogator's dignity and greatly reduce the effectiveness of the next threat.

If it were him to interrogate, he would definitely cut off a finger every time he told a lie starting from the finger torture, so even if there was a mistake in judgment, it would not be a big problem. The threat of words and deeds will quickly break the enemy's heart, and it is difficult for people without professional training to survive such an interrogation.

Pretending to be terrified and fascinated by myself made the other party doubtful, and at the same time exposed the fact that they had no ability to distinguish whether they were lying or not.

The information of Hakala, Holy Mountain, and the Mutual Aid Association are all true and reliable, which will further strengthen the persuasiveness of their intelligence.

Not long after, the masked woman appeared in front of him again, "When did they arrive in the west?"

"Two or three months before the month of demons, after the end of winter, they returned to the town and claimed to have found the holy mountain."

"They... how many are there?"

"Forty or so? I don't know much about this. Except for Hakara, other witches hardly appear." Tasa decided to add a little more chips. "Hakara, the snake demon, have you heard of it? Her ability It is a snake that summons magic power. There is a kind called "nothingness", which can quickly remove any toxins. I have seen it with my own eyes, and it is very miraculous. "

"Are you not afraid of witches?" The woman's tone seemed a little puzzled.

"Why should I be afraid? The witches of the Mutual Aid Society are all...beautiful, and they are not monsters with claws and claws. They have never hurt ordinary people. If I were afraid, I wouldn't have gone so far to help them spread the news .”

"If someone goes to Border Town, how should I contact them?"

"Some of them can perceive magic power, and they will naturally find the witches when they get there."

"Youying, what do you think?" The masked woman looked up behind him.

"I don't know," the witch called Shadow hesitated, "Why don't you make a decision after my sister comes back, she must know what to do."

"...Alright." She nodded, found a fairly clean chair, and sat in front of Tasa.

"Who is the sister?"

"Guide," the masked woman's attitude has softened a lot compared to before, probably because the words not to be afraid of witches touched her a lot, "she will lead us out of here."

"Leave, where are you going?"

The other party shook his head and did not answer.

"Aren't you a witch from Silver City?" Tasa continued to ask, "Your accent doesn't look like that of the Wangdu. Silver City is very close to the Wangdu, so the residents here are proud to imitate the accent of the Wangdu. .”

She hesitated for a moment, "I... come from the southern border."

Witches from all over the kingdom gather here, and they will soon be taken away by the guides... Tasa thought to himself, there is no doubt that this is another witch organization, and they are recruiting companions, just like what the Freedom Society did before the same. But where are they going?

At this moment, footsteps sounded outside the house.

"Sister is back!" You Ying cheered, and as the wooden door creaked open, Tasa also held his breath.

"Is he the one who has been using underground channels to spread the news?" The newcomer's voice was mature and steady, "Did you ask anything?"

"What he said seems to be true." The masked woman repeated the content of the inquiry and her own opinion. "If he hadn't had in-depth contact with the mutual aid association, he would not have known so clearly."

"Well, that's true," she said, passing by Tassa and standing in front of him. Unlike the masked woman, she has no cover on her face, her long black hair reaches her waist, and she seems to be in her mid-twenties. The most interesting thing is her eyeballs. It is golden in color, and even standing in the backlight, you can clearly see her star-like eyes.

Tasa thought that he had seen many witches by His Highness's side, but this woman's appearance was still considered to be of the top class. Over her left eye there is a scar that runs through the brow bone and runs down her cheek. Not only did this scar not destroy her beauty, but it added a chill to her. From the first moment he saw her, Tasa felt that this woman was a complete warrior.

"If the Mutual Aid Society really found the holy mountain, they shouldn't send people to spread such news." She shook her head, "This will only make the church hear about it, and if they don't leave Border Town as soon as possible, I'm afraid there will be a catastrophe. "

"Then... what to do?" You Ying asked.

"The ship will arrive at midnight today, and there are other witches on board, so you have to leave." She said without hesitation, "I will escort you to the ship. As for the mutual aid society..." The black-haired woman glanced and was caught Tasa, who was tied to the chair, "Please say hello to Tilly for me, tell her that I will arrive a few days later, and maybe I can bring her more companions."

"You want to go to Border Town with him?" You Ying said in surprise, "But, in case this is a scam..."

"Then he will only kill himself," she smiled, her words full of confidence. (To be continued.)
