Chapter 224: Willing to Prove Loyalty
"What! You encountered the real body of the high-dimensional demon!"
When Captain No. 1 told the details of the entire mission and the demon in the dungeon, the officer who had been listening quietly stood up suddenly, stared at him with burning eyes, and confirmed again with some distrust: "Are you sure it's the real body of the demon!?"
Captain No. 1, who was originally full of confidence, was also a little dumbfounded at this moment, and subconsciously glanced back at Bai Er standing behind him, "Is it... right?"
If it's not the real body of the demon, then what is it?
It has the ability to share real-life images with everyone at the same time, and can even create different horror illusions for each of them according to the things they fear in their hearts to force them into the sinking of fear.
Although none of their soldiers and refugees had ever seen the real body of the demon in the past, after everyone discussed it, they determined that there was no other possibility except that it was a demon.
"..."The officer in charge of listening to the statement looked serious.
Facing the demon is not a trivial matter.
In some places, even information about the demon is not allowed to be circulated, let alone facing the real body of the demon.
Even if they only meet, those powerful high-dimensional creatures are at risk of falling. This is the professional field of the adults in the Heretic Arbitration Office. Ordinary people are not joking, and he doesn't know much about the ins and outs.
"You wait here, I'll call the psychic over."
"Yes."
Captain No. 1 responded subconsciously.
In the silent room, the members of the joint team looked at each other.
"It seems like a big deal?"
"Hasn't everyone been driven away by Bai'er? There shouldn't be any problem, right?"
The battle is over, isn't it enough to just make a narration and reward?
The warriors who have not been in contact with the demon field also don't understand the meaning behind this caution.
Seeing the reaction of the superior, everyone was a little uneasy at this moment.
In silence, everyone's eyes inadvertently swept over Bai'er-if there is really a problem, this god of war is probably the most troublesome one.
...
But a moment later, a tall man lifted the curtain and strode in.
"Did you encounter the real devil?"
The psychic's voice echoed in his ears with a buzzing sound, as if it had a special magic that made people afraid to tell lies easily.
Some basic auxiliary abilities such as enhanced reaction or physical fitness belong to the general abilities of psychics.
But the core abilities of each psychic are different. The core ability of this psychic is to make people dare not lie easily.
It's just... this is not a lie.
"Yes, sir."
After a short period of calm thinking, Captain No. 1 showed the responsibility he should have.
Facts are facts, and they will not change because of asking a few more times.
"We encountered the devil together, and the soldier Bai'e defeated him independently!"
No matter what is waiting for them, the facts always need to be explained.
"Who is Bai'e?"
"I am." Bai'e took a half step forward and took the initiative to respond.
"Did you defeat the devil alone?" The psychic stared at Bai'e. He felt that the boy looked familiar, but he had no time to think about it for a while.
Looking at Bai'e's eyes covered with a layer of light mist, "The devil died in front of you?"
"No! Sir! It was exile. He returned to the high-dimensional space." Bai'e answered calmly with his hands behind his back.
The psychic frowned slightly, "How can you be sure it is a high-dimensional space."
"After being defeated, the space where he was located became hazy and could not be looked at directly, and it would stir up a storm in our consciousness. I believe that is the characteristic of the high-dimensional space. There are more than 400 refugees present, and they all know it."
"More than 400 refugees saw it together?" The psychic muttered softly, "It's a big trouble."
He glanced back at the officer who called him over, and blamed him for not telling him such important information...
He turned to Bai'e and continued to ask: "What about them? Why did you defeat the devil alone? Demon?"
"They temporarily lost their ability to move under the erosion of the demon's power, and I sent them outside the nest to rest."
"You are the only one who faced the demon? They were just eroded by the demon's power?"
"Yes, sir! But there are more than 400 refugees in the nest with me."
"..."The psychic fell silent, and after a moment, he said to the officer who was reporting: "Come out with me."
After going out to a place where it was difficult for the soldiers to hear, the psychic stopped and looked at the officer with a serious face and said: "I suspect they are lying."
As for the purpose... maybe it is to cheat military merit?
Most of the soldiers are loyal, but it is not impossible to have some personal thoughts under loyalty.
As a psychic, he knows more about the mysteries of high-dimensional space than ordinary people who have not been exposed to the psychic world...including middle and high-level officers in the barracks.
This era is corrupt and dark, and no one can avoid it.
People living in this era have so many belligerent, bloodthirsty, jealous, and twisted tendencies. Is it really just because of human nature?
No!
The sinful atmosphere that permeates from the high-dimensional space affects the world all the time!
Every breath of air you breathe, every mouthful of water and food you swallow, is full of sin.
Every creature will be infected by the crazy factors that permeate the air every time it breathes, and it will penetrate deep into its bones over the long years. No one can avoid it, it is just a matter of time.
Before falling, how much value one can provide to the human empire is the contribution of this person's life.
Therefore, in a world where even betrayal is so reasonable, some warriors who just want to seek their own interests with lies... It is really normal.
"Isn't it true that no one can lie in front of you?" The officer was a little confused, which is why he specially found this psychic.
"My ability is not a definite rule."
Anyone who tells a lie in front of him will be instantly crushed by the spiritual pressure because of the inner turmoil, but... if someone has targeted training or has the corresponding resistance ability, he will naturally be immune.
Psychic power is a kind of ability beyond common sense, but in essence it is just another kind of contest.
"Then is there anything wrong with what they said?" The officer frowned.
"I don't know where they got some knowledge about demons from, but they said there is basically no big problem." The psychic shook his head.
Normally circulated information about demons will not contain such detailed content, such as everyone's subjective impression of demons, the interference of demons on everyone's thoughts, the feelings of the demons when they were repelled back to the high-dimensional space, etc. ... Without personal experience, it is difficult to say so accurately and firmly.
And it was defeated by a single person, which is far from the truth!
Let's not talk about the authenticity of this victory, just say... But how can this be true? !
Demons are also divided into levels!
Normal and ordinary demon soldiers can actually be completely killed in the material world. Only those so-called "origin demons" who have reached a certain level and whose core is linked to the source of emotions have the special authority to return to the high-dimensional space for cultivation after suffering a fatal blow in the material world.
Do these special forces really understand how powerful an origin demon is?
If they really encounter a demon of that level, even the executives of the Heretic Arbitration Office will probably have to be on high alert.
If they don't form a team of at least ten people, those executives may not even dare to look at him.
Such an existence was defeated by a single soldier like you?
Even directly killed its body in the material world and sent it back to the high-dimensional space to sleep?
Do you think you are the imperial war god Ares in person?
The officer did not have the complicated thoughts in the psychic's mind, but just frowned and focused on the present, "What should we do now?"
Defeated the high-dimensional demon, but there is no evidence, how to deal with this?
Will this military merit be recorded?
Even if it is to be recorded... How to record a single person defeating a demon?
There is no standard and no precedent to refer to...
"Or... just erase it." The officer was too lazy to go through so much trouble.
"Remember! Of course I will remember it." The psychic insisted.
For the soldiers themselves, fairness is needed.
For the military camp, lying is the beginning of depravity.
Excellent soldiers should be praised, and corrupt soldiers must be purified.
Either spiritual purification or physical purification.
Otherwise, there will be bigger mistakes in the future!
"Let's go, let's go back!"
...
"Are you willing to take all the responsibility for what you said?" The psychic came to Bai'e and stared into his eyes quietly.
"I am willing." Bai'e's voice was sonorous and powerful.
The psychic turned to look at the other members of the joint team, "What about you?"
"Yes!"
"Okay." The psychic nodded, "Since you insist so much, then I can tell you everything that will happen next. Remember, this is your own choice..."
The psychic put his hands behind his back and sternly swept his eyes over all the soldiers in front of him, "Anyone who looks directly at the high-dimensional demon is very likely to have been contaminated by the demon! Even if you are still a soldier of the empire, it is very likely that you have already joined the demon camp without realizing it. Use your hands to destroy everything that was originally guarded by you!"
"..."
The faces of the soldiers who had never been exposed to this kind of information began to show some obvious panic.
The psychic was very satisfied with this reaction. As long as they are willing to turn back, they can still be saved.
The psychological counseling team in the camp does this.
"If you are sure that you have really encountered high-dimensional demons, then I will request the executive officers of the Heretic Arbitration to conduct the final arbitration on you.
If it is confirmed that you are still the most loyal warriors of the empire, then you will get the rewards you deserve.
But if... you have become the minions and slaves of those demons without even realizing it, then... the psychic furnace is waiting for you!"
If it were a lie, these words would have been enough to make them retreat.
Once they retreat, their hearts will no longer be firm.
In front of him, lies are exposed!
The psychic's eyes were lightly misty, and he calmly waited for the chain collapse caused by these warriors from a certain point.
The buzzing sound still echoed in the room, and a firm voice sounded first.
"I am willing to prove my loyalty to the empire!"
Bai Er shouted expressionlessly.
The demon was really repelled by himself, which was an indisputable fact.
The panel acknowledged everything, and no judgment related to corrosion has popped up so far.
Bai'e believes that he is clean.
The first voice that sounded reassured the warriors who felt sympathetic because of the psychic's words.
Yes, this is the fact.
Although they did not help much in the process of repelling the demons, this is the fact!
The credit that belongs to Bai'e should not be buried!
And... if they have really been corrupted by the demons inadvertently...
Then for the sake of mankind... for the empire... they should ensure that they are clean!
The city can be destroyed tomorrow, and the fortress can be breached by foreign enemies, but it should never! Be buried in the hands of these warriors who once protected everything!
"I am willing to prove my loyalty to the empire!"
All the warriors shouted in unison!
