The researcher with the whip looked at the white coat with a smile. When the white coat looked at him, he nodded slightly at it.
Whip and honey. This was their strategy. First, they gave the opponent physical torture, then they would give him some benefits to make him loosen up. Although this strategy was simple, it was often effective. Of course, whether or not the benefits they promised would materialize was something to be said. Although the Special Faculty was an organization that combined a bit of science and technology with a supernatural ability, there was no rule that said they must be honest and trustworthy.
In their eyes, Xu Yi had already started to waver, and would probably reveal everything he knew very quickly.
The three people in the interrogation room smiled at each other, then looked at Xu Yi with eyes full of contempt.
The reason they had to spend so much effort on Xu Yi was because the fact that they had a map was just too important. Furthermore, the people who had given Xu Yi the map thus far had yet to find anything.
What did this mean? This meant that the opponent had avoided the surveillance of Nuwa and Skynet and left them no clues — but this was something that should not have happened, a man who lived in a technological society, whose every phone call, every trip, even if he used a false identity, would have been exposed by his voice and his fingerprints.
To Special Faculty, everything in the world should be exposed to the fierce sunlight. Only they could stand in the shadows and observe it. But now, things had changed.
Someone who could avoid the Special Faculty's surveillance had appeared. This person had even managed to complete an invasion into the main building of the Special Faculty by bewitching a university student. What was his identity? What was his purpose? The elites of the Special Faculty knew nothing at all. At this time, the other party was the one standing in the shadows, while Special Faculty was thrown into his field of vision. This was something that the Special Faculty couldn't tolerate.
Although they still could not confirm that it was left behind by their opponent on purpose, but the Special Faculty had finally grasped onto the opponent's only weakness, and that was Xu Yi.
As long as they could get any bit of information from Xu Yi, they would be able to track their opponent down and find out. They were not worried that Xu Yi would lie, it was just like how a wheat field would be affected by the wind, even if Xu Yi deliberately lied, he would not be able to find out the truth behind the lie. Many of Special Faculty's top students were good at analyzing lies.
What they lacked was only a single sentence from Xu Yi.
As long as Xu Yi gave up, they could immediately start hunting the creator of the map.
Would Xu Yi let go? They think they will. They had already seen all of Xu Yi's resume, and even his communication and web browsing records had been found by them. From their point of view, Xu Yi was a very ordinary young man who had lost both his parents and sister to live together, and also lacked any social experience. Xu Yi's communication record showed that this person did not have a girlfriend, nor any close female friends, and there were very few interactions with female students like Bai Lu on the internet. Although he set up a special reminder for Bai Lu, the two of them did not interact much, much less have any intimate interactions.
It is easy to pry open the mouth of a young man who lacks emotional life and a strong mental backbone.
And at this moment, Xu Yi was indeed shaken. As long as he told his the information about that person, he would be able to avenge his parents. If what they said was true, he would also be able to use this opportunity to show his gratitude to Bai Lu.
As long as he said a name, as long as he sold someone that had nothing to do with him, he wouldn't even need to shoulder the burden on his conscience, and he could easily accomplish things that he couldn't.
Life is always like this, one choice after another, each time you make a decision, your lifeline will also make a change.
This time, the chance to change his life came once again to Xu Yi.
His mouth moved. The three people in the interrogation room pricked up their ears. Outside the interrogation room, researchers wearing white coats were wearing headphones as they looked at the screen in front of them. The screen showed the same picture — the scene in the interrogation room.
Everyone was waiting, waiting for the moment Xu Yi let go.
Xu Yi remembered that the first time he met that person was in the park. The person was sitting on a bench in the park, and called him over — he was wearing an inappropriate black windbreaker, and his face was covered by a white mask. At first, Xu Yi wasn't sure if the other party was calling him, but that person went straight to the point and said his sister's name.
"Want to save her? Do you want to save your sister Xu Lingshan? "
Xu Yi didn't know why the opponent would help him, but he knew that he had to do it. He couldn't allow his sister's body to become the target of his opponent's research.
"Sis, Sis." Xu Yi finally opened his mouth.
"Elder sister?" The researcher with the whip was stunned for a moment. Was the person who gave him the map related to his sister? A friend of his sister's? If that was the case, then everything made sense.
"Elder sister's corpse, return it to me." Xu Yi said in the end.
The researcher with the whip frowned.
"I think you still haven't figured out your situation," he said as he pointed at Xu Yi's broken nose. "We already gave you an extremely generous offer, so you don't have the qualifications to bargain with us!"
He was right. If Xu Yi told them the information of the creator of the map, they wouldn't mind helping Xu Yi. After all, punishing Zhao Lihai was a piece of cake for them. But Xu Lingshan's body was their important research object, and wanting them to let go of Xu Lingshan's corpse was simply a fantasy.
"Heh, heh." Xu Yi let out two cold laughs, and then closed his mouth.
He would not betray that man. In this world, there was no one who hated the driver who killed his parents more than him. When he found out that that person's name was Zhao Lihai and that he was still at large, Xu Yi really wanted to rush over and cut that scumbag's throat with a saw. But he couldn't do that. He couldn't betray someone who had helped him.
The man gave him the precious map and gave him the chance to save his sister.
Actually, Xu Yi could feel that the other party had other intentions in giving the map to him, but that was not important. The most important thing was that the stranger had given him a chance.
Maybe Xu Yi did not seize the opportunity, but he did indeed have that chance. For that alone, he would not betray that man.
"Little bastard!" The person holding the whip cursed angrily, "I'm going to kill him!"
"Calm down!" The white-coat scientist beside him quickly pulled him back.
At this moment, the door to the interrogation room was opened.
"The creator of the map has found it!" A surprised voice was heard.
