by post_apiChapter 593: Lolth’s Unique Interrogation Skills
After Lolth slapped him hard…
The director of the Heretic Tribunal quickly opened his eyes.
As Lolth said, even in this seeming "deep sleep," the mind was actually awake.
He was not unaware of what was happening outside…
He looked at Lolth and immediately began to curse.
"You wretched succubus! You cursed, filthy creature, a heretic scorned by the Lord and Holy Light! I will burn you to ashes!"
He spoke harshly, trying to summon the power of Holy Light within him to break free from Tina’s grasp.
However…
He found that the power of Holy Light could not respond to him.
Lolth looked at him and let out a gentle sigh.
"Do you think I’m foolish?"
While she was releasing him from this sleeping state, she was also careful to guard against any attacks from him.
So, Lolth did not fully release him.
She only undid the severing between his body and soul…
Regarding her extraordinary power, she still retained the effectiveness of the landlady’s Magic Potion.
"You cunning, treacherous, and wicked succubus! I will surely purify you!"
"And the Lady of Light who is in league with you… that scoundrel! I will kill her too!"
The director of the Heretic Tribunal said this, grinding his teeth and staring furiously.
Lolth looked at him and burst into silent laughter.
"Then it seems you are a bit hasty!"
"And… you say I am a heretic despised by the Holy Light, right…?"
As Lolth said this, she casually conjured a ball of Holy Light.
Then, she smeared it on the director of the Heretic Tribunal’s face.
"Look at this, what a cursed thing!"
After the Holy Light faded, the director of the Heretic Tribunal was stunned for a few seconds.
Then he began to roar even more angrily.
"You, the blasphemous creature who stole the Holy Light, I will tear you to pieces!!!"
"I will slice you into meat slices, each one burned to a crisp!!!"
He shouted like a madman, surprising Lolth quite a bit.
This was the first person who, after seeing himself use the Holy Light, was so sure he was "stealing" it.
She somewhat admired the director of the Heretic Tribunal.
So, Lolth decided to reward him once more…
A slap.
"Slap!"
A crisp sound rang out, and five clear fingerprints appeared on the young man’s face.
"Don’t scream; your master agreed."
Lolth said this as she showed off her bishop’s robe.
Then she revealed the aura of the Holy Light power around her.
This was not the aura of Holy Light power that Lolth herself possessed…
But it was tainted with the purest aura of Holy Light from the Holy Capital and Eden Palace.
The director of the Heretic Tribunal was stunned!
Soon, his furious anger slowly faded away, replaced by a somewhat cold gaze.
Although he did not have extraordinary powers, he could still feel the familiar energy from the other person.
Not only that, but he could also sense things more sharply than most of the higher-ups in the Church of Light.
This power of Holy Light did not come only from the Holy Capital.
It also came from someone he knew very well.
"So, you have met His Holiness the Pope… right?"
As he said this, his voice became quieter.
But there was still a hint of anger in it.
"Oh, yes…"
Lolth was also a bit curious about how much this guy really knew.
"He has asked me to do quite a few things, and we had a very pleasant chat."
Lolth said calmly.
The director of the Heretic Tribunal lowered his eyes.
"So what His Majesty meant by waiting was actually for a succubus…"
"This is really crazy… No wonder he would want an impure and mysterious person to be the Holy Maiden… and even want her to succeed…"
"The Pope has indeed been crazy for a long time!"
"And he is so accepting of those tainted by succubus blood…"
The director of the Heretic Tribunal sighed deeply…
"I understand now, it was you group of succubi who enchanted His Majesty!"
Listening to the other’s conclusion, Lolth felt helpless.
Things were just fine a moment ago…
Now strange comments were coming up again!
"Pope Charm, how could succubi have such great power… You think too highly of the Succubus clan."
Lolth said, shaking her head helplessly.
"Why don’t you say we charmed the God of Light too!"
Lolth said this with a bit of annoyance.
The director of the Heretic Tribunal did not respond and just sneered again.
He closed his eyes as if he had accepted his fate.
"You can try to kill me or humiliate me, do as you wish…"
"But you will never make me fall, and you shouldn’t expect me to yield to you!"
"You will get nothing from me!"
He said this with great certainty.
However, Lolth shook her head.
"I’m sorry, I told you, I have no interest in your downfall…"
"I just have a few questions I’d like to ask you."
Lolth said this, but the director of the Heretic Tribunal did not reply.
He simply opened his eyes and continued to look at Lolth with disdain.
"You are the interrogator of the Demon Army, right…"
"In a way, we are colleagues."
"If you want to interrogate me, I would also like to experience your methods."
The director of the Heretic Tribunal said this, his tone revealing a hint of confidence.
Clearly, he had absolute confidence in his willpower.
And just as he said…
As the director of the Heretic Tribunal, even when he could not use extraordinary powers…
His mental strength and soul were still strong enough.
As a demi-god with special training, he was confident that he would not leak any important information, even when facing the mind spells of the Succubus clan.
After all, he was the assistant to the pope and handled all the dark matters of The Church of Light.
How could a spy leader not understand the importance of intelligence?
The Heretic Tribunal separates judgment from sentencing.
"Judgment" naturally includes the "questioning" aspect!
He also wanted to see what this succubus wanted from him.
As for the methods…
They were nothing more than temptation, mind spells, or making him feel pain.
And Lolth looked at the confident expression of the director of the Heretic Tribunal…
She also shrugged her shoulders.
"Is that so?"
"Then I will… begin now."
Lolth thought to herself, pulled over a chair, and then sat down.
After that, she took out a stack of white paper, a notepad, and a whiteboard from her bag, and started to write and draw.
"To be honest, even though I am indeed the Chief Interrogator of the Demon Army…"
"This is actually my first time doing serious interrogation work…"
"I hope I can still remember those techniques."
"However, I think you might feel a little surprised."
"In short, here is the first question…"
As Lolth spoke, the Director of the Heretic Tribunal furrowed his brow and finally couldn’t help but interrupt her.
"Don’t you use any extraordinary powers?"
He could sense that the paper and pen had no magic at all.
Lolth’s words also did not include any mental spells.
Was the other party’s method too clever?
No… that’s not right, she really didn’t use any magic!
The Director of the Heretic Tribunal was very surprised.
Is this succubus looking down on him?
Is she playing house?
Lolth looked at him, raised her head, and smiled.
"I told you, it would surprise you a little…"
"Next, I won’t use any special powers on you; you only need to answer my questions—of course, it’s okay if you don’t answer."
As Lolth said this, she tapped her pen on the handwritten notepad in her hands.
"So… do you think your faith in the Holy Light is strong?"
He was indeed surprised when he heard Lolth’s question.
For a moment, he felt… that Lolth was humiliating him.
But he still answered proudly.
"Of course, you don’t have to question my faith in the Holy Light here!"
Lolth looked at him and began to write and draw.
"Good… now for the next question, what did you eat for your last meal?"
Lolth asked sincerely once more.
The Director of the Heretic Tribunal paused for a moment, but soon became angry.
"Why should I tell you these things!"
"What is the purpose of your questions?"
Yet Lolth just quickly wrote down something.
After that…
She ignored the other person’s outburst.
Instead, she kept asking questions.
"I understand, the next question… Do you want to be the Pope? Please answer yes or no as clearly as possible."
The Director of the Heretic Tribunal was taken aback by this question.
Then, he gave a cold laugh.
"You know about this matter… But so what?"
Lolth did not dig deeper; instead, she began writing again.
Then she asked another unrelated question.
"Does the title of Giloviev Church, Bishop Nai, have any special meaning for you?"
This made the Director of the Heretic Tribunal a bit cautious…
Could it be that this succubus has some special ability to peek into his thoughts?
But he was very sure that if someone was peeking into him, he would feel something!
No one on this continent can do that!
However, what he did not know was…
In a certain way, Lolth was indeed peeking into his thoughts.
However… it was not done with extraordinary powers.
One hour later…
While the Director of the Heretic Tribunal was still confused, Lolth closed the notebook in her hands.
In front of her, countless white papers floated in the air.
"Thank you for your cooperation, I have learned all that I wanted to know."
Lolth smiled gently and stood up.
The Director of the Heretic Tribunal looked at Lolth, his expression shocked.
"What did you say?"
He clearly hadn’t answered anything, at most just responded to a few questions about his favorite colors and his loyalty to the Holy Light.
Those were very sensitive questions, involving the secrets of the Church of Light, the workings of the Heretic Tribunal, and the information of various high officials…
When he was asked, just to be safe, he didn’t even dare to think!
This girl might have the ability to read minds… but she couldn’t possibly see through him, right?!
Lolth looked at the other person’s doubt and couldn’t help but laugh.
"I say, thank you for your cooperation—Sir Flynn Ney Hayden, educated personally by His Holiness from the Northern Archdiocese, Hayden family."
She put away her notebook and turned to leave.
As the spell was lifted, the white paper filled with Common Language writing lost its shape and began to flutter down from the air.
The director of the Heretic Tribunal looked at the notes filled with questions about himself and the numerous comments below…
Almost everything pointed to his thoughts at the time and the hidden answers within him.
"How is this possible—what kind of mental spell is this?!"
He cried out in distress.
Is this… an Abyssal Succubus?!
Is this the power of the Demon Army Chief Interrogator?
When did she read his heart?!
But Flynn N. Hayden did not know…
As a succubus, Lolth was actually not very good at mental spells.
Being an interrogator was not really the right job for her.
Lolth had always been slacking off, and she somewhat used "Anyway, I’m not good at mental spells" as an excuse.
But someone like Lolth…
Even though she was lazy, she always left herself an escape route.
As the Chief Interrogator in the Interrogation Department, she could not really neglect her work completely.
One of Lolth’s biggest advantages was that she was not as dependent on superpowers as most of the other Superoperators in this world.
After looking through countless related materials, Lolth confirmed one thing.
Superpowers made interrogations easier, but they also became outdated.
In this world, due to the presence of mental spells and Star Spirit magic, the interrogation techniques and psychological knowledge from past lives had become very rare.
For Lolth, duplicating them, even if she was not an expert,
was still enough.
After using the information collected by the church to bluff, induce, and confirm,
Lolth had almost uncovered the identity of the Church of Light’s most mysterious spy chief and his plans from the past ten years.
"Although I know in a way it’s like ‘dimensional reduction strike’, but… it was still too easy."
"I have finally used the ‘benefits of being a traveler’ to outsmart the people from another world."
At first, Lolth felt a bit nervous facing the Director of the Heretic Tribunal, a top colleague!
But now it seemed… she was completely overthinking it.
With today’s unexpectedly rich harvest, her actions in The Church of Light would become smoother.
The chances of making the Lady of Light the Pope…
had increased a bit more.
"Next, it’s time to look for the Lady of Light…"
Lolth thought this and began to search for the presence of the Lady of Light.
To her surprise…
The Lady of Light and her knight did not seem to be in the torture tower.
The two of them were actually in the southern new area of Hillenbrand Town, doing who knows what?
"This is quite strange…"
Lolth was a bit confused about what the Lady of Light and Janine Irene were doing in the southern new area.
Moreover, the two of them seemed to be radiating extraordinary energy that kept flickering.
It appeared they were using first and second-level extraordinary skills intermittently.
Although she had lifted their restrictions, still…
Lolth could not understand why they would use first and second-level extraordinary skills.
