CHAPTER 379: CHAPTER 307: TORTURE (ADDITIONAL FOR ALLIANCE LEADER "PANDA321222" 4/6)

Wait, hold on.

Wen Nan felt a bit confused.

Opposite him, Yu Shujun was looking at him, and after speaking those words in a serious manner, Wen Nan surprisingly saw a hint of uncontrollable enjoyment on the other’s cold face.

Wen Nan leaned against the door, his gaze shifted from Yu Shujun’s face to the handcuffs glimmering with a dim metallic sheen on one of Yu Shujun’s wrists, and then to the electric baton in the other hand, which was emitting a constant "buzz" sound...

Something feels off, doesn’t it?

Everyone passed through the same instance, and since there was an issue with it, why was Wen Nan the one who got the warning while Yu Shujun was the one assigned by the system to investigate?

Thinking this, Wen Nan indeed asked, "You’re a player who got a role illegally, so why does the system still cover for you?"

Isn’t this like giving a criminal suspect the title of an investigator, making it convenient for the thief to shout "catch the thief"?

Yu Shujun stood in front of Wen Nan and calmly replied, "I didn’t break the rules. The role was randomly assigned to me by the system."

Didn’t break the rules, yet received a role?

"Are you saying that before you became the strategy character ’Minmin’, the system of that instance had already been tampered with? You’re not the rule-breaker, you’re actually a victim too?" Wen Nan reasoned along Yu Shujun’s words.

Yu Shujun did not answer his question and instead asked, "I am the investigator commissioned by the instance system; I’m investigating you, not you investigating me. I hope you know your place, Master."

Wen Nan crossed his arms and tilted his head slightly, looking at Yu Shujun with a mischievous smile.

Got a system commission, and now this little servant is turning over to become the master? But the word "Master" still rolled off the tongue quite smoothly...

By the way, why can Yu Shujun get the identity of an investigator? Did he have some shady deal with the instance system?

However, on second thought, since the Guild Leader of Feng Shui Huan could directly act as the game’s main god’s agent, then it seemed reasonable for Yu Shujun to be commissioned by the instance as an investigator after passing the last one.

It seems that in this world, players in the Gold rank are granted some special permissions.

Just as he was lost in thought, a "click" sounded, and his wrist felt cold. Wen Nan was cuffed by the cold handcuffs from across him.

Wen Nan looked incredulously at the pair of "silver bracelets" on his hands, finding that their construction was unlike what he had seen in the real world—

Mainly because the connecting part of the "bracelets" wasn’t an ordinary metal chain, but a silver-white beam of light.

Which meant that this thing wasn’t fixed, and Wen Nan’s hands could still move.

Thinking of this, Wen Nan tried to spread his hands apart and found... that he couldn’t succeed.

The next moment, he heard a system prompt in his mind—

9527: [You’re currently under the control of a system investigator’s interrogation tool. During the tool’s active period, you will lose part of your action permissions. Please be aware.]

9527: [Friendly Reminder: The investigator’s control permission over the interrogated person will be increased with the resistance of the interrogation subject. For your freedom of action, please cooperate with the investigator’s work, don’t resist needlessly, and definitely do not try to harm the investigator.]

This pair of "new bracelets" turned out to be interrogation tools issued by the system to investigators?

Moreover, this setting of being more controlled the more you resist, why does it sound... not quite right?

As he thought about it, the "buzz" sound of the electric current came to his ears again. Wen Nan looked up and saw the end of the electric baton pointed at his nose.

If these "silver bracelets" were distributed to investigators by the system, then surely this electric baton is also the same kind of interrogation tool, right?

Thinking of this, Wen Nan’s gaze moved slowly from the flickering electric baton back to Yu Shujun’s face, "You’re serious?"

Yu Shujun replied seriously, "This is the system’s task, Master."

Saying this, without giving Wen Nan the chance to retort, Yu Shujun turned the electric baton in his hand to point at a single sofa nearby, "Go there, sit down."

Wen Nan nodded, offering no resistance, and cooperated by walking towards the sofa, turning around, lying down, placing his hands on the armrests as if imitating Mr. Ge, lying comfortably in it.

Yu Shujun slowly walked over to him, pulled out an introduction page from his panel, and pushed it in front of Wen Nan, speaking in a deep voice:

"Player Ye Jiu, acquired the identity of ’Charismatic Junior’ of the Loyalist camp within the instance ’On Campus’, and successfully completed the instance.

"I am investigator Jun Wuming, now investigating you on commission by the instance system. Please confirm if you accept?"

As he finished speaking, one end of the electric baton in Yu Shujun’s hand flickered with electricity.

Wen Nan lowered his eyes to look at the ghostly blue electric light, then redirected his gaze to Yu Shujun, asking, "What will happen if I accept?"

Yu Shujun replied in a businesslike manner, "If you accept interrogation, player Ye Jiu’s account will be bound to the interrogation tool, forcing you to obey the investigator. Otherwise, you will face necessary punishment from the interrogation tool."

Wen Nan nodded and asked again, "If I accept, do I have to obey you, or else the electric baton in your hand will punish me?"

"That’s one way to understand it," Yu Shujun added, "but as an investigator, I will only ask you about investigation-related matters and will not exploit it for personal gain."

"Huh? No exploitation for personal gain?"

"Yes, rest assured, contestant."

"Oh." Wen Nan nodded.

Yu Shujun urged, "Please choose to accept or refuse."
