Chapter 298 Xiaobai's first inquiry
On November 4th, the sun was shining brightly in Guangming City.
Investigation teams from all the way from the divine capital have entered the city one after another. They brought a certain derivative that can eliminate the impact of space debris, and successfully cleared away the scattered fragments of the Pearl of Light one by one.
The ocean disappeared, and the cities that were split into small islands came together again.
Although the streets were broken and more than 30% of the buildings collapsed, the city did not die after all, but survived strongly.
However, the Pearl of Light that once represented Guangming City no longer exists.
Through the small window, the sunlight from outside shone into the secret room. Shen Bai looked along the light and saw the clear blue sky.
Kind of like ice cream, he thought.
Then the door of the secret room opened, and Shen Bai turned around to look at the person.
"Oh, I'm sorry, Lieutenant Colonel Xiaobai, for keeping you waiting."
The person who came here was not very old, had a shabby appearance, and his messy chicken coop hair was completely inconsistent with the nameplate on his chest that said "Special Agent of the Shendu Investigation Team."
"Lieutenant Colonel Xiaobai, let me formally meet you. I am Xiao Qingyi, a special agent responsible for your investigation."
"Hello, Agent Xiao." Shen Bai stretched out his hand to shake his hand and chuckled:
"Don't keep saying 'Lieutenant Colonel Xiaobai'. You are older than me, so just call me Xiaobai."
"Okay, Xiaobai!" Xiao Qingyi laughed loudly, without any hint of the dignity that an investigator should have:
"Have you had lunch?"
"not yet."
"Sorry, you also know that there are too many people to investigate now, and there will always be some oversights. Let's start quickly and finish early, so you can go outside to rest your stomach...Xiao Liu, turn on the lights, it's so dark, what the hell? We should be treated like spies!"
The lights were turned on, illuminating the old secret room. Shen Bai and Xiao Qingyi were sitting opposite each other. There was a subordinate of Xiao Qingyi at the door taking notes.
"Xiaobai, shall we start now?"
"You decide."
"Um, name?"
"Chen Bai."
"Place of origin?"
"The sixth living circle of the Human Federation, Blue Ocean City."
"age?"
"Seventeen."
"Do you have any relatives?"
"No, I grew up in an orphanage, and my adoptive parents also died unexpectedly."
"The information says they are professional soldiers, can you tell me more specifically?"
"good……"
The conversation between the two was very fast. Xiao Qingyi only asked some ordinary questions at first, but as the inquiry progressed, the topic gradually moved towards the Crazy October in Utopia.
"Intelligence shows that Feng Xuerou secretly came to find you before the official start of Crazy October."
Xiao Qingyi's eyes became slightly sharper:
"What does she want from you?"
"She had a conflict with Fenghua Lian." Shen Bai calmly recounted what happened that day, and then said:
"...That's all the above. Before me, she should have found Liu Tiancang first. You can verify what I said from this aspect."
"Okay, what do you think about Feng Xuerou's betrayal of humanity?"
"It's incredible. When I looked into her eyes that day, I didn't feel the emotion of a madman."
"That is to say, in your judgment, at least on the day we first met, Feng Xuerou had no tendency to betray humanity."
"Based on my personal life experience, I really can't think of any reason for a young lady from a business empire to rebel against humanity."
"Well, this is a very valuable judgment. In fact, this is also one of the problems that plagues the investigation team today." Xiao Qingyi nodded:
"Xiao Bai, let's talk about what happened after the Pearl of Flowing Light was broken... Why did you want to help Di Tian?"
"He is my friend and the hope of mankind's comeback. Is it strange to save him?"
"Even if you sacrifice your life? You know, taking an ordinary person across the ocean is equivalent to leaving your life to God's will."
"I have confidence in myself and [Tyrant], and more importantly, I never betray my friends."
"Okay, after all the [cursed fetuses] were killed, you manipulated the Guardian Key to bury the remains of the gods. Please answer me truthfully, Xiaobai, what were you thinking in your heart at that moment when you took control of Utopia? ?”
Shen Bai tilted his head and said uncertainly:
"Manipulating the Guardian Key...is much easier than eating a snake?"
"Hahaha, you kid!" Xiao Qingyi covered her stomach and laughed so hard that tears almost came out:
"He is worthy of being a proud man of heaven who lacks both strength and reason... Okay, Xiao Liu, put your pen away, don't you see that this is just going through the motions?"
The sloppy man stood up and stretched his waist:
"Xiaobai, maybe I am very incompetent when I say this, but in the preliminary screening of our investigation team, there are very few suspicious things about you. Whether it is from your background experience or your performance after the great changes, you are very similar to The probability that this matter is related is very small."
He poured a cup of hot water for Shen Bai and then said:
"Okay, the questioning is over, you can leave here...have a drink of water before leaving, so that others won't say we didn't provide good hospitality."
"Well, thank you for your hard work, Agent Xiao."
Shen Bai had already expected this result. If he was investigating other matters, he might still be afraid. But regarding the October incident in Utopia, Shen Bai dared to pat his chest and promise that he had a clear conscience and worked hard from beginning to end. Human role model.
"Classmate Xiaobai, what are your plans next?"
"Keep practicing, there's still the finals."
"Finals? Not necessarily."
"What?"
"Oh, yes, you came in in the morning, so it's normal not to know the statement." Xiao Qingyi said softly:
"The federation has just issued a document saying that this October Crazy is suspended. When and whether it will continue will be announced later."
"The boss wants to seek stability."
"My dear, I feel that before the Utopia October Incident comes to an end, the finals in Shendu should not be considered."
"Yes, but I can just go home."
"Classmate Xiaobai, I really envy you that you have a family to return to. In a profession like mine, I can only wander around..."
Xiao Qingyi sighed, looked at Shen Bai who was drinking hot water, patted his forehead and said:
"Oops, Xiaobai, is this water hot? I like to drink boiling water. I didn't pay attention just now, so I gave you tea at 90 degrees Celsius."
"Ha, it's okay, it's okay. It feels warm when I drink it."
"That's right. With your martial arts skills, your esophagus is very tough, and even if you wear gloves, you won't feel the heat... But it's strange. I saw your previous class photos and found that you didn't have the habit of wearing gloves when you were a child. , why do you never leave me every day now?"
The atmosphere suddenly became silent.
Perhaps it was an illusion, Shen Bai instantly felt that this small, old secret room had become darker and colder.
He knew that if he had no clothes on, the investigator opposite him would immediately see the fine beads of sweat on his arms.
Shen Bai took a sip of hot water and looked at Xiao Qingyi opposite again.
The agent was still slovenly, but in Shen Bai's eyes, Xiao Qingyi had become a different person at this time.
Chapter completed!
