The Crisis World XX

Chap. 146: Interrogation

Alright. Being knocked unconscious and having both my legs and hands tied to a chair is not something I imagined would happen to me tonight, but unfortunately fate says otherwise.

Not to mention that Nigiyaka-san also experienced the same thing as me. An Assassin with experience seemed to have the same fate as an amateur like me, wasn't that what his name meant?

And if you think it can't get any worse, in front of us there's a woman in a warden costume who's arguably quite seductive. The face of this female warden was also quite beautiful. But I'm sure he didn't come to give us the good news.

"I didn't think it was finally my turn to interrogate the troublemakers."

We're called vandals. Well ... that's not wrong because we almost beat the whole bald guy in this bar. Although all of that has a purpose, if according to Nigiyaka-san.

"I didn't mess up, I was just defending myself" Nigiyaka-san said.

"Defend yourself? Of the dozens of big men who attacked you and won, you call that defending?"

"You can call it that, because no matter how they start."

Nigiyaka-san was quite sure of his words because even if I checked the CCTV I don't think he was lying. But he was the one who provoked them, anyway. And the way to provoke can also I say ... how, yes? Childish.

The guard sat at the interrogation table. Someone then came along with a CCTV recording and put it in front of us, he also gave a remote to the warden. And after that, he immediately walked out of this room.

"Let's see if you're really just a 'victim' or not."

And the warden restarted the CCTV footage, it could be seen that at first Nigiyaka-san had clipped one of the bald men's feet, and his anger was further ignited when he threw my expensive drink at him.

Oh, aye! I haven't made anyone pay about the expensive drinks I bought. It is impossible to ask Nigiyaka-san for sure he will beat me up, so I will ask someone other than him.

By the way, the CCTV footage continues until we beat them all. The guard turned off the tape. "look, right? He hit first." Nigiyaka-san is still trying to make herself look innocent.

"And of course because there's something that's provoking him, right? for example, a leg and a drink flush."

"At that time my feet happened to be there when he passed by, then my fingers also happened to be slippery and accidentally fell on him instead. It was all unintentional."

"Continue, huh? What a strange coincidence."

"really. It's so weird."

The two of them looked at each other no one wanted to budge. With all the reasons Nigiyaka-san said just now, I'm not sure if she'll believe it.

"All right."

Eh?

"I don't know how, but for now I believe that what happened on the tape was an accident."

He just believed it?! What the fuck is this overly positive-thinking warden? If I were him, I would immediately imprison him, torture him, and make him pay for the expensive drinks he spilled.

But when I was thinking about how someone would change the expensive drink, the guards attention now turned to me and left Nigiyaka-san who was 'innocent' for the time being'.

He brought his face closer. Real close. Too close! Our noses are almost touching and our eyes are not far away. I try to move my pupils in the other direction so as not to look them in the eye.

"Now ... Let's talk to you."

I have nothing to do, I'm not involved, let's just say I'm the poor guy who lost his expensive drink. But despite trying to ignore him, he did not move his gaze at all. Which finally made me give up.

"Huh ... okay, what do you want to ask?"

"good. You're more submissive than the other." He took his face away from me and began to ask. "Because you talked to him on the CCTV footage and beat up other visitors, you were arrested too. Is there a defense?"

"Nothing." I answered resignedly. Besides, the evidence is already on CCTV, so why would I lie any further.

Or that's what I was thinking.

I glanced towards Nigiyaka-san and his gaze was annoyed. Eh? Did I make a mistake? He then shook his head still while looking at me annoyed. What the hell does that mean? I can't read that simple code.

The warden seemed quite satisfied with my answer earlier. "Okay, this is the last question. If we answer correctly, we'll move on." Oho! Finally getting to the last question, after this we might be able to move from this boring room.

"What is an Exception doing here?"

"??!!"

The question made my eyes widen. He knows about 'Exception', which means that the warden's guard is no ordinary human. It seemed like he saw my agitated expression and instantly gathered the aura in his hand.

He created a black chirp and immediately slashed and wrapped the whip around my neck. "Don't try anything in this place, I won't let my first interrogation fail either." His words became colder.

"Mhh ...!"

He choked me very hard. I can't breathe when it's just a whip. I-I.m.must free myself before losing consciousness.

I tried to focus the aura on both hands and a few strands of my hair started to rise, but strangely in an instant they instantly descended as if my abilities were not up to them. What the hell is going on?

For a long time my body relaxed and my aura did not come out perfectly. It was like ... All my power was sucked out. Since giving off an aura was useless, I tried to thrash as hard as I could but my hands were tied so strongly.

"You want to do something funny? It's a pity, but this is no ordinary whip. I can absorb your energy and if I don't stop it, your life could be in danger, you know."

"D-basic .. j*lang ...."

It's critical. I can not do anything — even just thrashing was difficult. Something ... I have to think of something to get out of this situation. But that meant the longer I thought, the more my strength was sucked up by it.

"To ... please a—"

"Geez .. You're really an amateur when it comes to interrogation, huh?"

But suddenly Nigiyaka-san spoke something and it also stopped the straw from whipping this warden as his attention was distracted. I had forgotten that Nigiyaka-san was here with me because I was busy looking for a solution.

It seemed like a provocation and managed to pull the warden.

"Did you say something?"

She let go of her whip from my neck which made me cough and try to take as many breaths as I could. Damn it, why not just now, Nigiyaka-san?! But it's better to be late than not, although of course I'm still upset.

"I'm telling you, you're really an amateur when it comes to interrogation. And it's better to be replaced by someone else."

"It's just fine that you were never chosen to interrogate someone. If I were your boss, of course I'd tell someone else instead of a fool like you."

A hint of annoyance appeared on the guard guards forehead and quickly, instantly grabbed Nigiyaka-san's face with a whip. There were no significant scars on his face, although when spitting, his saliva turned red from mixing with blood.

"What do you know about the boss? He was a man of honor who had men interrogate men, and women interrogate women. It just so happens that you guys are the first troublemakers, so I'll play until I'm satisfied with you!"

He returned to whip Nigiyaka-san repeatedly in a state of annoyance. I even closed my eyes because I didn't want to look at it any further, he broke it down with all his might and Nigiyaka-san was also in a state of being unable to resist.

But the whip stopped and now the warden's guards started to strangle his neck and absorb Nigiyaka-san's energy. The satisfied grin on his face never disappeared from the start he broke it.

While Nigiyaka-san also never removes the sharp look on the warden guard. Although his face is now reddened and many scars are spark scars.

"I'll make you run out of steam!"

"really? Amateurs talk a lot like you can do that? I'm amazed if you can actually do it and not just bullshit."

"Shut up!"

He choked her harder than when he strangled me. "Stop!" I'm trying to stop him because it's bad if this keeps going. The warden's guards were also seen being exposed to Nigiyaka-san's provocation and wanted to finish him off. Don't talk more than this, Nigiyaka-san. Or your life could be in danger.

However, all for free. The thrashing was difficult for me because the aura that the warden had absorbed earlier was too much. God fucking. Anyone please stop him. Akihito-san!

As I pleaded in my heart, suddenly the door of the room opened and I felt relieved that maybe it was something that answered my expectations. But it turned out that my guess was wrong, the hope that had previously been high now fell to the ground and was smashed to pieces because the one that came was not Akihito-san.

I don't know him. But the man pushed an iron table with wheels under it. Then on the table there are various objects that look very creepy.

There are pliers, hammers, tools used to pull nails, and so forth. What's even worse is that in each tool there is dry blood evidence that it is not an ordinary tool. It was a torture device.

The warden then loosened the chuckle of a whip in Nigiyaka-san's neck that allowed her to breathe a little — even though it didn't seem like too long. He approached the man and brought two identification cards.

Waita minute. That's my identity card! Why would it be with him?! And also one more card seems to belong to Nigiyaka-san.

"I can finally use these tools. Hah .. I can't wait to hear your screams, must be very stress-relieving." He took the pliers that had traces of his blood and brought them closer to his cheeks with a grin on his face.

I swallowed my crinkly saliva worried. He's psychopathic! This woman is a psychopath! I don't want to end up here because of a psychopath. Got to get out ... get out of here any way!

"Quiet." Nigiyaka-san noticed my uneasiness. His face was very messy from the wounds now.

"Eh?" I looked at him.

"We'll be out of here in a minute" he murmured softly.

I don't understand what he's planning. But it is clear that now is not the right time to calm down, Nigiyaka-san! We need to figure out a way to get out of here as soon as possible.

"This is their identity, ma'am."

"Where, mana. Let's see the name of my first victim."

The man gave me my identity card and Nigiyaka-san and the warden checked it. "Kurobane May, 20 years. Oho~ Looks like our first victim is still quite young, huh?" continued.

"Tch!"

"Then the other one .., Nigiyaka Eiko, 27 years old. Hmm .. There is nothing special about you. So without any more lingering, can we start the party?"

"Nope-no ... Anyone help me! I don't want to die here! Nigiyaka-san!" He walked towards me with a creepy grin, while I tried to thrash and break away from this bond.

"That's great. Shout as loud as you can, your screams are music in my ears."

"I didn't expect you to be this stupid" said Nigiyaka-san.

"What?"

"When you've seen my face and even know my real name, but you still don't know who you're dealing with? Amateurs are a little too stupid."

The guard tilted his head. He still did not know who Nigiyaka-san really was. And finally Nigiyaka-san mentioned a word that made the warden realize who he was fighting.

"Still not familiar? Well then, how about this ... 'Nymist'. Ever heard of his name?"

And when Nigiyaka-san mentioned his pseudonym, the warden was shocked until his eyes widened. "Ni-nymis?! The person the Boss said should be wary of that?! Why is someone like you here?!"

"It looks like your boss knows about me. That means I don't have to explain at length, right? I came to kill your boss!"

"D-damn it!"

The guard re-created the whip from his aura, but this time the whip was caught when he wanted to whip Nigiyaka-san again. The bond has been removed — no, more precisely burned quickly.

"No way! You still have the power to bring out your aura?! What kind of monster are you?!"

"The monster? Unfortunately no, I am your angel of death. An Assassin!"

After that, the flames propagated from Nigiyaka-san's grasp burning the whip of the warden guards all the way to his body. The fire did not stop until it burned its entire body.

"Nrgkhh ... The heat! Anyone! Quickly extinguish! I don't want to die yet! I can't die!"

"Actually I want more revenge than this for having whipped me up so many times, but since I still have a mission, this much might be enough."

The warden who was still in a burning state tried to grab Nigiyaka-san, but before he could hit his body, he had already fallen to the ground. Killed with terrible burns.

While I who witnessed it could not say anything. This was the real Assassin, not even shouting for help like a foolish child. Then Nigiyaka-san let go of all my ties."

"Ma-Ma—"

"Save your apologies for later, now let's get out of here first."

"... Fine."

We'll get out of there soon. Oh yes, the man who pushed the wheel table with many torture devices on it was also burned to the ground by Nigiyaka-san. So that no witnesses and information that we escaped did not leak.
