Transported to a hyper-realistic RPG.

Lesson 598 Interrogation

There is a slight difference in magic power, both in and out of the body, and it was found that it is normal that it is evenly mixed.

However, I don't know how it connects to the gray black crystals and the weaknesses of the Dark Elves.

"I was thinking that if the phenomenon of metamorphosis is happening when the crystal is crushed. I think it's important to borrow Heine's witch's words about what color has changed to what color's magic power..."

"What color does it change from...?"

“To be precise, I think it's important to know what color it changes from. No matter how many colors of magical power come out of the crystal, it will transform to become uniform from there, so it will eventually melt into the air. So, it doesn't matter what color comes out of the crystal."

"In other words... what color is the magic power in the gray-black crystal? Could it be that it would lead to the weakness of the Dark Elves?"

The magic itself is a weakness... it's a little hard to think of... "

If you think that a certain magic color is a weak point, it is too hard to live in this world that is constantly exposed to magic power.

I'm not convinced that there are races that are against the laws of nature.

Sure, it might sound strange when you think about it normally, but what if it's a magic force that can't exist normally?

"Normally...? Hmm...?"

"Let's assume that the colors of magical power present in this world are seven colors that can become seven commonly known attributes."

To be precise, Cynthia and Nil can use other magic, so I don't think it's seven colors, but I want you to think about it when you talk about my thoughts. "

Hmmm.

"What if there is only seven colors of magic in this world, but this gray-black crystal has the characteristic of accumulating magic that does not apply to the seven colors of magic?"

"I see... does that mean that the crystal itself has the ability to degenerate into such magic power?" If that assumption is correct, then that special magic power will be the weak point of the Dark Elves. "

“Yeah, that's what I think.

Probably, the moment it crushes, it doesn't lose its color, and it maintains its magic color for only a few seconds. Maybe that poisons the Dark Elves. ”

"It's okay to think that it won't affect us... what is it?"

"According to Cynthia, you fought where there was a lot of gray and black crystals." If it doesn't, it definitely won't. ”

At least Nil and I were okay, and so were the five Eagle Crows. This means that there will be no influence on the Transferor, Black Wings, Man, Beastmen, Elves, Dwarves, and later Witches.

Well... it's safe to say that most races will not be affected.

Thinking about it now, if the object enclosed in the black gray crystal was poison, I think that it was doing quite a dangerous thing. I'm glad I didn't die...

Thanks to that, we're safe, but we don't know yet about the vampire race. I think it's highly likely that the vampire tribe that is alive by using magic power from magic roses and blood is immune to magic power... but it's dangerous to get close without any proof.

It would be better if Heine and Pilté were separated just in case.

Surakutan. If the hypothesis so far is correct, how do you use the grey-black crystal and what do you think its effect will be?

"That's right... For now, I don't know how to take out the magic power that might be in the gray-black crystal except to smash it." Therefore, I don't think there is any point in directly touching the gray and black crystals.

Then... I guess I'll just have to smash it closer than the Dark Elves. If I let it touch the magic power that jumped out of the crystal, it would be meaningless if I didn't smash it pretty close.

As for the effect... honestly, I don't know at all. However, even if it's poisonous, it can only really touch a small amount, so I don't think it will have much effect. That's a very small amount of lethality... I don't think it's a zero likelihood, but I think it's quite unlikely. If that magic had that power, the Dark Elves would have been extinct much earlier. ”

Technically, it wasn't extinct.....

As Suraitan put it, if there is a deadly thing that can kill Dark Elves so easily, it is a strong species… No, because it is a strong species, it will be targeted by other races.

I don't think the opponent who can easily win with only the gray and black crystals is a scary species.

But that's not what we're talking about in real life. I heard that there were many people called Eiji in the Dark Elves, and they were named after them. Naturally, the fact that weaknesses are still transmitted to the present day should have been known about weaknesses at that time. Even so, it can be deduced that being called Eiji has no fatal effect.

We need to see if we can use it for interrogation, but it's worth it.

"I think I got it." Thanks, Lenya. "

"I hardly did anything, but..."

"That's not true." Thanks to you, we may be able to get an edge. Thank you. ”

“If it helps, I'm glad.”

"We've talked a lot, but please keep this to yourself."

"Yes, I understand."

Now, I'll excuse you around here. "

Yeah.

Lenya and the others will stay in the city for a while and continue to search for the bandits who escaped.

If you're a shinobi skilled at covert magic, you might want to pursue those who escaped. I feel sorry for the bandits hunted down by Ninja, but... well, I deserved it.

Lenya leaves the mansion and passes through.

"Now... let's resume the interrogation of that woman."

"Master, are you really going to interrogate me alone...?"

Nil looks worried when I try to get back in the basement.

"I don't know what the effect of the gray-black crystal looks like, but I don't want to cut all my hands first."

If Nil had come, I might be able to talk about something... "

Just now, during an interrogation, Nil called for me.

When Nil's voice resounded in the basement, the Dark Elf woman's expression tightened for a moment. I pretended not to notice, but perhaps the presence of Nil meant something to the Dark Elf woman.

If you take Nil with you, the woman might say something... but I also knew that the reaction shown when I heard Nil's voice was overwhelmingly louder and more upsetting than the reaction shown when I saw the gray-black crystal.

A black dog who was supposed to be trained not to show such emotions, even I, the amateur of the interrogation, showed so much agitation. In other words, there is no doubt that the existence of Nil is only effective for women.

However, if you take Nil with you in the current state, you may not say anything with your mouth closed.

And if we can't talk until the end, we're out of cards to cut. That's the most troublesome thing to do.

First of all, it would be good to bring it to a situation where you can have a conversation at the worst possible time, engage with Nil at the most effective time, and have her speak at once. Well... this is a sale from Heine.

"The possibility that the gray-black crystal might work on that woman was even higher." The method of use also stood in front of me, so I'll talk to you alone first. "

"But...."

"It's okay, I can move and I won't be alarmed. I'll call you when I need your help, but wait till then.”

"... I see."

It was Nil with a slightly dark face, but she nodded reluctantly and waited for me at the entrance of the basement.

Although my physical condition was not perfect, it was the same for my opponent. I won't be late.

I'm going down to the moldy basement again.

When I was called back up by Nil, the woman sat in the last position without moving.

For a Dark Elf woman, this is the enemy. It's a place where you have to be constantly on the lookout. I guess they're careful not to show it to us even for a moment.

When I come up to the iron lattice, the woman stares at me once and turns away.

Kachan!

I unlock the iron lattice and approach the woman in custody.

"I've brought you a meal. Eat it."

…………………

If you don't want to have a conversation, you're going to have to talk to someone. I don't think I'll even put my hands on the food the enemy gave me... but if I don't eat, I won't be able to fall, and I need more blood soon. Forcing me to eat and eat blood from Blood Football.

For now, I have prepared a magical dish with a handle that can be eaten without using your finger, even with one of the restrained hands, but... even if you hand it over like this, you may be able to punch the contents.

"I'll tell you what, if you do something like punching the contents, I'll force you into your mouth and eat it."

We don't need to waste any effort on each other, so please eat quietly.

Unless you want me to eat it with my hands. "

……………

I'll tell you what, I'll put the plate in front of the woman.

Idiot! I was prepared to hit the plate, but it wasn't done.

But women don't try to lay hands on their meals.

"Do you think we're going to stand by and watch them weaken without eating?"

"...... Damn......"

When she hears my words, she unexpectedly starts eating from herself.

Just in case, in order not to restore a woman's strength too much, I have reduced the amount of food. In the end, the blood from the Blood Football prepared for me was consumed, and the dish was emptied.

Although it is a more submissive attitude than I expected... I heard from Heine that this attitude would be expected to be to some extent.

The reason is, perhaps, not to let them chase the remaining Black Dog mates.

A black dog is a unit under the direct authority of the demon king, and it has a duty to inform the demon king who is in the demon world of the situation. Either you kill this girl suddenly, or if she kills herself, we'll be chasing after the black dog.

If that happens, we could catch up with the black dog and get in the way. Especially since there are ninjas here with more covert technology than they do, it's more likely. If that happens, they will not even be able to report the situation, so it is very inconvenient for them.

So this is the only woman who survives, so maybe she'll let us stay here and buy us some time.

In fact, when the woman regained consciousness, she seemed to have made a monkey egg (wiggle) not to bite off her tongue, but even if she took it off, she would not show such a gesture, so she is not making a monkey egg now. Heine had speculated from that time that she was buying time.

If you're going to keep us here, you can survive for a while, make us think you can get information, and predict that if you can escape from a good place, you'll escape, or if you can't, you'll commit suicide.

And this woman is practicing exactly that.

Maybe we should go and get the Black Dog who's headed for the demon world, but rather than chasing after someone we don't know if we can catch, we should focus on getting information from someone who's already in captivity.

The one who pursues the two of them is the one who does not get one of them.

Besides, even if the demon world gets information that we have eliminated the bandits and defeated the black dogs, there is no particular problem. If you say so, it's just a matter of reporting that you lost to us.

You've already told us about our own strength and methods of fighting, and we're not going to make any more noise.

In short, right now, we have no choice but to ask this woman something from her mouth, but if she suddenly asks a question related to the demon race, she could die as soon as she answers it. A contract of death, an advanced dark magic. Perhaps if I took out a testimony against the demon king, this woman would die.

The information we would like to know about the Dark Elf and the Black Dog is about the situation of the entire demon world, the anti-magic king organization Lampard, Turra, the daughter of Granny Artem, and Nil's demon eyes...

If we talk about it, there may be more things we want to ask later, but at present, if we listen to it around here, it will be a long time ago.

For once, I thought about the possibility that a woman might suddenly commit suicide, and I prepared magic to counteract it. Now we are ready.

"Now... let's start asking questions."

………………

"What's your name?"

……………

As a woman who wants to buy as much time as possible, we'll want to keep our mouths shut until we're on the verge of exhausting our numbness... but as for us, we can't let this woman take up too much time.

"It doesn't change that you don't feel like talking..."

I take out the gray-black crystal so that the woman can see it.

………………

Looks like she's hiding it, but I can see that the woman's expression is slightly distorted.

NGH!!

I don't know what effect it will have or how it will respond, so I let the woman bite the monkey.

“If you don't talk, you just have to make it easier for me to talk.”

………………

Even if you hear my words, the woman is not frightened, and she turns to me with a murderous gaze.

Well then, let's get started.

I put the two gray-black crystals in one hand and approached the woman's abdomen.

”Hoo... hoo...”

It seems that she doesn't like it, and her breath is getting rough.

Galigaliba Kiki!!

When you hold your hand hard, the two crystals rub together and shatter.

A slight pale light leaks out in my hand. If you weren't watching, the amount of light you'd miss in the dark would be glowing.

Hoo! Hoo!

The moment I thought I saw the light, I saw that the woman's breathing became intense. The woman has her eyes wide open and her body twisted.

"Nh... nh!! nhhh!!"

Chari... chari...

The woman in the sitting position kept her back on the bed and continued to twist her body. Every time the woman's body moved, the chains connected from her limbs sounded metal.

Looking at the reaction, it's not like the numbing poison. As Surakutan said, it is not a lethal poison. It's a rather unpleasant reaction, but it doesn't seem to be effective enough to go mad.

I don't know if the effect I'm giving is pain or a different feeling, but I know I hate it anyway. It's probably not even an act to see the power in your open eyes.

It looked like she was eating and tying it up pretty hard, and it seemed that she was right to bite the monkey's tongue so as not to bite it off.

When the sweat began to seep thinly into the woman's forehead, the woman slowly began to calm down. In terms of effect time, it may take a few minutes, but it seems to be effective because it is said to be a weak point.

”Hoo... hoo...”

I asked the woman who had managed to calm down in a slow tone that was easy to hear.

"Are you ready to talk?"

”Hoo... hoo...”

The woman reacts to my voice and turns her gaze towards me, but her eyes are full of murderous intent.

"... I see. Let's do it again."

"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!"

Galigaliba Kiki!!

"Ng, ng, ng, ng!! NGH!!"

I thought I'd finally settled down, but the next one starts right away.

I had an inventory, and I still had the gray and black crystals.

A woman tortures herself over and over and runs around on the bed.

I keep looking at such a woman in silence, and a few more minutes pass.

"Are you ready to talk?"

I ask women the same words and tones the first time.

”Hoo... hoo...”

Still, the woman looks at me with the same eyes.

"One more time."

Then, I don't know how many times I used gray and black crystals on women, but if I had noticed, it would have been quite a while.

"Are you ready to talk?"

”Nh... hu... hu...”

The woman has exhausted her strength. She is staring at the ceiling with false eyes, and she does not respond to my words. It seemed like they didn't have the energy to grasp it.

If you suddenly overdo it, you may not be able to withstand a woman who hasn't returned her strength. I think we should keep it around today.

Gachan!

I'll close the grate and get out of the basement.

"Master."

As soon as she left the basement, Nil ran over with a worried look on her face.

"I'm fine."

"... yes."

Torturing people is never pleasant, but now there's no other way. Now that I know it's going to work, I'll have to keep doing this to the woman until I answer the question.

Nil immediately prepared a cup of tea for me, and I calmed down as I circled around it.

The black dogs are the ones who are after Nil's life, and I'm not willing to forgive them, but that's why I'm not happy to be able to do it.

However, it is a little easier to feel emotionally, rather than say that the woman's reaction is rambling around with Dotan Battan, I feel like I'm being attacked by a jagged and unpleasant feeling while turning around. Unlike in the case of intense effects, the other person's reaction is relatively gentle, so I feel a little relaxed in terms of feeling. Well... it's probably just my imagination.

Is Nil worried about me as she thinks like that and calms down? She sits so close to the chair that her shoulders touch each other, and sips her tea the same way.

I didn't say anything, but that behavior conveys Nil's kindness.

Perhaps it was Nil who helped me calm down immediately, and when Nil left me and started preparing dinner, Heine and the others who were out to gather information came back.
