Chapter 22: Interrogation
I sat in the Lonestar Limitless Academy interrogation room, hands cuffed to the metal desk. It had been three days since the expedition.
Back in Nightfall Territory, we barely escaped. The rift collapsed abnormally fast, giving us less than two minutes to flee. Many didn’t make it out—especially the non-combat units.
Two Limitless students alongside a dozen non-combatants, and over twenty bodies were left behind. But I doubted that was the real reason I was being held.
What really had them rattled was the fact that they had to abandon everything they stole from the vampire lord’s library and they didn’t get to enter his vault. They believed killing Lady Maria and the Lord had triggered the rift’s collapse.
This basically meant we didn’t gain anything from the expedition. We only lost Limitless, powerless humans and resources.
Because of this, I hadn’t even been allowed to explore the rewards the system gave me for completing the mission. I dare not check them out in the holding cell bugged with cameras.
Clank!
The door swung open. A tall man entered, with Viktor trailing quietly behind him. The man had spiky white hair, oversized glasses, and a face so thin you could trace his skull. Just like I looked a month ago.
He wore a military-style lab coat, hands buried in his pockets. He took the seat opposite me while Viktor stood behind him like a statue. Oddly silent.
I leaned back and watched him remove his glasses, revealing sharp violet eyes. Then he reached out his hand.
"I’m Professor Lenort, A-Grade Limitless and Lieutenant. Most people call me God Eye."
