Wang Junyi stared blankly at Wen Wen's sudden appearance, then at him muttering to himself by the window, and couldn't help but ask, "Detective Wen, what happened?"
Seeing that the demon had started to ascend the stairs, Wen Wen said to Wang Junyi, "Things have turned out a bit differently than I expected. For your safety, please bear with me for a moment and pretend to be unconscious."
With that, he ghost-like knocked out Wang Junyi, Yu Hui, and Wang Zixuan, sending all three into the containment facility. Just as he did, a knock sounded at the door.
Wen Wen hesitated for a moment, then also entered the containment facility with the three children. He decided to temporarily halt his actions against these demons until he had a complete understanding of the situation.
Back in the containment facility, Wen Wen began to examine Rodney's small button. If this button was an electronic communication device, Wen Wen could use it to directly locate the other party.
Unfortunately, this thing seemed to use technology that Wen Wen couldn't understand. It didn't transmit information using electronic signals.
"In that case, I'll just have to interrogate that demon."
...
In the dim and damp prison cell, Rodney was suspended, still unconscious.
Wen Wen sat on a chair eating watermelon, while Xu Hai held a small water gun and sprayed two streams of holy water onto Rodney's face with a 'ssss... ssss...' sound.
The holy water evaporated instantly upon touching Rodney's skin, making it feel as if it were being burned. In extreme pain, the unconscious Rodney finally woke up.
"Where is this... Ah, don't hit me!"
Upon seeing Wen Wen, Rodney reflexively tried to cover his face, but he discovered that all his movable parts were bound, including his limbs and all his tentacles.
"Xu Hai, keep him conscious for a bit, and then I'll ask questions."
Xu Hai grinned and said, "Understood, great master."
He then picked up various unique tools and began to work on Rodney.
In the past, Xu Hai enjoyed creating puppets from living creatures. In terms of perversion, Wen Wen couldn't catch up to him even riding a rocket. Furthermore, Xu Hai, hailing from the inner world, was more familiar with monsters, which was why Wen Wen had him interrogate Rodney.
Listening to Rodney's screams, Wen Wen felt that the watermelon was exceptionally sweet, so he opened another bottle of red wine and savored it. Ah, the red wine was contributed by Feng Ruixing to the detainee gathering.
Finding the taste good, Wen Wen took it all for himself to drink. As compensation, he also replenished the gathering with a barrel of premium red wine from the Cat Ear Cup.
"Don't torture me anymore. Ask me anything, and I'll tell you. I'll cooperate honestly and won't play any tricks," Rodney said mournfully.
"Your willpower isn't very strong," Wen Wen said, walking over to Rodney with the watermelon.
Demons, on one hand, are extremely bound by agreements, but on the other hand, they have no integrity. They will uphold agreements, but they will do anything that isn't agreed upon. Su Dan Novel Network.
Wen Wen was satisfied with his attitude. Such companions were likely the enemy's favorites. He patted Rodney's cheek with a piece of watermelon rind and asked, "Tell me, where is your stronghold, how many people are there, and what are their strengths..."
Upon hearing Wen Wen's questions, Rodney's face contorted into a bitter gourd shape: "Sir, I truly cannot answer these questions. Why don't you ask me something else?"
Wen Wen's expression tightened: "It seems you're still stubborn. Xu Hai, let him enjoy himself a bit more."
Seeing Xu Hai rubbing his hands together, Rodney hastily said, "Sir, listen to me. Those who understand the nature of us demons best are demons themselves. Therefore, to ensure we don't betray the collective, we sign mandatory contracts upon joining."
"Anything that we believe might endanger collective safety, we truly cannot tell you. However, I can tell you how many concubines my boss has and what he likes to play..."
"What use is it to me that your boss has concubines, you lunatic..."
Wen Wen pressed the watermelon rind onto Rodney's face, about to lose his temper, when he paused, his eyes brightening. He then said to Rodney, "You can't say things that you believe might endanger collective safety. Then, can you say things that you believe won't endanger collective safety?"
Rodney nodded like a pecking chicken, "Yes, as long as it's not something that cannot be said, I will tell you everything."
Wen Wen ignored his nonsense and began to ponder. He now knew how to obtain information from Rodney.
Since they wouldn't answer questions that they felt might reveal important information, all he had to do was make them believe that his questions wouldn't reveal important information.
And this required driving Rodney insane!
This was simple for Wen Wen. He picked up the Staff of Madness, pointed its tip at Rodney's head, and injected the scarlet frenzy stored within the staff into his mind.
After injecting only a small amount, Wen Wen stopped. This should be enough to shatter Rodney's sanity without driving him so mad that he couldn't say anything.
"What have you done to me!"
Rodney struggled wildly, his courage towards Wen Wen increasing. Even Xu Hai couldn't help but take a step back. Just as Wen Wen thought he had injected too much frenzy, Rodney's state became somewhat unusual.
"This feeling... it's really good. Can you give me more?" His eyeballs rolled upward, and his face wore an epileptic smile. He was clearly high to the extreme.
Wen Wen stroked his chin: "Looking at him, he's like a wild kitten on catnip. Could my frenzy also have an effect on monsters?"
With this thought, Wen Wen directly poked Xu Hai beside him with the staff and injected a small amount of frenzy.
After receiving that bit of frenzy, Xu Hai's eyes became distant, and his body trembled unnaturally. After the small amount of frenzy was consumed, he looked at Wen Wen with craving.
Wen Wen understood this craving because when he didn't restrain his madness, he was indeed at the peak of exhilaration. Heaven knows how much willpower Wen Wen exerted to maintain his normal appearance.
"Frenzy that can drive ordinary people insane, if applied in small doses to monsters, it really has the effect of catnip... Would it also have an effect on Tao Qingqing and the others?"
Having discovered an alternative application for frenzy, Wen Wen was eager to experiment. However, the most important thing now was to obtain information about these demons.
He grinned and asked Rodney, "Besides carrying out missions, what do you do when you go out from your base? Answer me, and I'll let you feel good again."
Rodney answered without hesitation, "Go to the nearest seafood restaurant to buy pretty female octopuses..."
"And what is that seafood restaurant called?"
"Hai Yan Ge..."
