Chapter 155: Interrogation Results (2/2)

The Head Researcher had a helpless expression as he shook his head. He already gave up.

”Why don't you let me try? Just that, I don't need any spectators.”

I suggested which resulted in the Head Researcher's raised eyebrows. He didn't retort in consideration of Nysia but he looked at her asking for confirmation.

”Grant him what he wanted. I'll stay with him to get first-hand information in case he succeeds.”

”Y-yes. Right away!”

Hearing her answer, the old man and his subordinates vacated the room. The triplets' containment cells couldn't see what's happening outside so they're fine to be left there.

It's been a while since I let it surface. I just wonder how dark will I go this time.

”Are you sure you want to see?”

I asked Nysia. Though I told them about it, as much as possible I don't want the girls to see me in that state.

”Un. No matter how dark you become, I might still be worse than you. The things I did to survive…”

”Alright. I'll enter his containment cell. Disable his restraint also, let them watch. Who knows, they might still be clinging to hope that even if they didn't give everything, they would be saved.”

Nysia nodded and did everything I asked. When the triplets saw that they could see outside, they all looked at us but neither Nysia nor me gave them as much as a glance. They could see but they wouldn't be able to hear anything.

After entering the containment cell, I also lost sight of what's happening outside.

When that Dark World denizen saw me entering, he looked up and laugh despite his cracked voice from the torture he received.

”So now they sent that woman's plaything? This is laughable. Just kill me already. You won't get anything from me.”

”Do you not know? I am one of those you called Helpers.”

When he heard the word I used, his ears perked up. No matter how I looked at him, that dark hair and dark skin, he might not look like the Dark Elves but he's closer to those Dark Beastmasters, especially the three 2-star Beastmasters I used to further corrupt that Barbarian before.

”You? Don't joke with me. You're clearly a denizen of this world.”

”I see. Then will this prove it to you?”

By revealing my origin to him, it confirmed that I'm still not detected by them. Well, it could be that he's just too low level to be given new information about the Helpers.

On my palm, a ball of Psyche Energy was produced. It's not a Psyche Boost but just about 20 units of it made into a small ball.

”You recognized this energy, right? What do you think? Normally it could refresh one's mind if I use this on anyone but I could also use this to force out the Source Energy inside you or maybe corrupt you.”

”Y-you… just kill me!”

Though he was surprised, the result was the same. The appearance of the Psyche Energy might've proven my claim but only that wasn't enough to make him talk.

”Alright. Let me experiment on you. You also don't need to shout again, I won't grant that wish of yours. I have these too after all.”

Upon saying that, two more balls of energy were formed from my palm. Physical and Spirit Boost.

I waved my hand and the two balls flew towards him, instantly covering his body. As soon as it settled, his wounds that were still oozing out blood visibly closed and his complexion turned for the better.

It's not a heal but those boosts could somehow amplify? Right. That should be the term since it's not adding stats. It's amplifying his Strength and Endurance which could lead to temporary natural strength and regeneration.

That's why that girl from the competition could somehow recover from the pain when I used Spirit Boost on her.

Err… I'm not planning to use anything Physical on this guy but I can spare at least 500 units of Psyche Energy to let him feel how it was to be corrupted by an unknown Energy Source and something that was seemingly higher than their own Dark Energy.

This probably wouldn't work that well on those stronger or close to me in stats because of the current state of Psyche Energy. That's why I'll do this experiment to him who's just a Gold-rank.

I smiled and turned towards the guy. His haughtiness from earlier was suddenly transformed to his fright towards me that he couldn't help but gulp his saliva down. Whether my smile could be seen as evil or not. I don't know, I don't have a mirror here. In any case…

”Well then, let's start. Shall we?”
