Chapter 215 : Interrogation
......
......
Lonis, of course, knew what Elucia meant.
But doing it herself... how could that be possible!
And in front of Elucia, using a basin to catch it... In fact, doing such a thing under Elucia's gaze would be worse than making Lonis commit suicide.
"No way, absolutely not."
However, before Lonis could shake her head, Elucia pounced on her: "Hmph, refusal is invalid. Beginning forced execution!"
"Wha... what?!"
"Surrender without resistance~~"
"Nooo!!!!"
Although it wasn't the first time being forcibly taken by Elucia, being suddenly pinned against the wall by Elucia still made Lonis want to cry.
"How can you do this! Who bullies a maid like this!"
"Hehe, I'm bullying you, what can you do to resist?"
"Wuu wuu!"
......
Lonis was disheveled as she was pressed against the wall. Due to her earlier resistance, her clothes were already somewhat wrinkled.
This silver-haired little fox girl could only pitifully widen her eyes, pleading for her master to be gentler.
However, Lonis never expected...
Elucia didn't lift her skirt, but instead inserted her fingers into her mouth.
"Eh?"
"Stirring~"
This time, Elucia didn't insert just one finger, but two fingers pressed together... The little fox's mouth was immediately filled, unable to close properly, only able to pitifully make "wuu wuu" sounds.
"Wuu wuu! (What is Elucia trying to do?)"
"Don't move, okay? I'm currently extracting magic-rich liquid, you know?"
"!"
Lonis was startled, only then realizing that the magic-rich liquid Elucia spoke of wasn't her (that), but saliva!
If it was saliva, she could directly drool into the plate—there was no need for Elucia to forcibly extract it!
However, now it was all too late.
Her little mouth was being toyed with by Elucia, even her tongue was forced to lift up, as if performing some kind of kiss.
"Ah, ah (E)lucia, hah (ha)ven't you finished yet!"
"Mm, extraction is about done. But this master hasn't played enough yet, you know?"
"Eh?"
"It's rare to be able to appreciate the little fox's lewd expression—how could I not bully you a bit more?"
"Wuu wuu!"
Saliva continuously flowed from the corners of her mouth, not only filling the small basin but also soaking the clothes on Lonis's chest.
Just like that, Lonis was bullied for quite a while.
And this black-hearted girl? Although her personality was somewhat nasty, her abilities were truly excellent.
Not only was she skilled in combat, she also knew about pharmaceuticals and such... Among those various test tubes, Lonis couldn't recognize what was contained in them at all, but Elucia handled them with ease, preparing the medicine in less than a quarter-hour.
"So, so amazing..."
"Hmph, of course. After all, when you, you idiot, went to exterminate the demons, I wasn't idle either."
"Eh?"
"Such a long time was enough to learn lots of knowledge."
"Wuu!"
......
Lonis was shocked—no wonder Elucia seemed to handle everything with ease. It turned out Elucia had been studying day after day for decades in the virtual world.
After injecting the sedative into the woman, her movements seemed to slow down considerably.
She no longer shouted at the two, just collapsed on the ground as if entering a dormant state.
Elucia also nodded, saying to her:
"Can you hear me speaking? I'm the one who defeated you, so according to Exotic Decay Tribe tradition, you should obey my commands."
"Com... mands?"
The woman's voice was very hoarse, as if she had never spoken before.
"That's right. In that case, please first tell me your name."
"Name..."
"It's what you're called. Perhaps it's something from long ago... but I believe you definitely won't forget that unique name of yours."
Under Elucia's patient guidance, the woman's gaze actually became confused.
As if remembering something nostalgic, she finally spoke:
"Pearl... Pearl..."
(Pearl? What a strange name.)
Although thinking this, Lonis didn't interrupt, instead quietly waiting for Elucia to continue her "interrogation":
"Mm, then Miss Pearl, please cast aside all distracting thoughts in your heart and tell me... whose orders you received before, and why you came here."
"Why I came?"
"Mm, it's the purpose of your mission and your upcoming plans."
It was fine when Elucia didn't mention it, but once she did, the woman was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, quickly pouncing forward.
"Ah ah, ah ah ah!!!!!!"
She opened her mouth, trying to bite Elucia's arm.
But the bars were sturdy, and Elucia seemed to have anticipated this, saying calmly: "Is the plan to eliminate all humans you see? But unfortunately, I'm not human, you know?"
"You're not... human?"
"Mm, like you, I'm probably also part of the darkness. Look, this is the power of Exotic Decay, you know?"
Having said that, flames appeared in Elucia's palm, and after Pearl saw this, she also showed a dazed expression:
"Same as me..."
"Mm, so please tell me your plan."
"I understand, you are also... a lord of Exotic Decay..."
......
......
If she were a normal Exotic Decay Lord, she definitely wouldn't submit to Elucia like this. But the medicine just prepared seemed to also contain some hallucinogenic components.
So this woman's eyes were unfocused as she slowly revealed all her mission plans:
"Our purpose is to prevent Clear Academy Island from sending reinforcements to the Bright Ember Kingdom."
"Oh? Is there only your unit?"
"No, there are 19 other Exotic Decay Lords who received orders. We will attack the inner ring civilization's ports within these three days... This is a suicide mission with no survivors needed."
"The one who gave you orders—was it the Trickster Demon Lord?"
"No, it was the Corruption Demon Lord."
......
After that, Elucia extracted quite a lot more information from the woman.
All of it was combat intelligence about the demon tribe, which made Lonis overjoyed... because this way, their side could gain the initiative.
"Elucia, this is great!"
"Hmph, Lonis, don't get too excited... Not everything Pearl said is true."
"Eh?"
"The one giving her orders is undoubtedly the Trickster Demon Lord. Someone like the Corruption Demon Lord wouldn't act this way."
"!"
"The Trickster Demon Lord is very cunning—even its subordinates mostly don't know what it's actually thinking... No, rather, its most trusted subordinates are all complete lunatics who simply don't care what the Trickster Demon Lord is thinking."
"Eh?! Then what should we do next?"
"The intelligence must be reported to headquarters, but selectively. Also, during this time, we need to perform reverse purification to gradually restore Pearl's body from Exotic Decay control to normal."
"We can do that?!"
Lonis was delighted—she had thought that after being interrogated for information, Pearl would be useless like garbage.
Even if she was still alive in such a dangerous state, she would probably be locked in a cage forever, right?
......
"Mm, but... this isn't a simple matter. After all, we only have 3 Rainbow Abyss powers."
"Eh?"
"Only by gathering all 7 Rainbow Abyss powers can we completely purify a converted person's body and restore them to normal human appearance... and this is also the power of the Sun Loli Goddess from back then."
"I see..."
"For now, let's talk with her more every day. Let her calm down as much as possible and slowly remember past events."
"Mm mm!"
And so it was decided.
Although not everything Pearl said was true, without doubt, the Bright Ember Kingdom where Prince Ruowei Palace was located was indeed under siege by the demon tribe.
So the Time Shuttle went full speed ahead, rushing toward their destination without stopping.
And over the next few days, Lonis and Suling also tried communicating with Pearl, helping her remember things from when she was alive...
But the results were minimal.
It wasn't like in stories where hearing about the past would make Pearl cry tears of restored consciousness... After all, her demonification wasn't just a simple mental change, but also involved physical transformation.
Her cellular structure was already completely different from a normal person's, her instincts and thought patterns were very beast-like. She needed to eat several pounds of meat every day and absolutely refused to eat vegetables.
Without sedative injections, she would become extremely violent and aggressive toward humans.
......
The fruitless communication made Suling hang her head dejectedly:
"Wuu... Little Lo, I'm sorry, I couldn't help at all?"
"Hehe, it's okay. After all, Suling did her best... Besides, Pearl isn't beyond help."
Seeing the minimal progress, Lonis had also felt disappointed at first... but somehow, seeing Suling feeling down, she herself didn't feel disappointed at all.
"Mm, we need to collect all 7 Rainbow Abyss powers, right?"
"Yes, next we can obtain the power of Bright Ember. I really hope we can meet His Highness Prince Ruowei Palace soon?"
"Eh... Little Lo means you know Prince Ruowei Palace?"
"Barely, I suppose I know him?"
"Oh~~~ Then on this trip, can't we stay in the royal palace and enjoy VIP treatment?"
"Mm... probably, I guess?"
Lonis blinked, replying somewhat uncertainly.
