Chapter 425: Chapter 423 Interrogation of Weisu

Wen Wen shook his head again. Although the guy had denied it, Wen Wen remembered the details of the game puppet very clearly; there was no way he could have mistaken him.

"You are Wu Wang’s game puppet, there’s no fooling me on that point. Also, playing dumb isn’t your style — I don’t believe for a second that you’ve forgotten me," said Wen Wen with a cold laugh.

"Wu Wang, game puppet... Are you talking about that person named Wu Wang?"

Even though Weisu didn’t possess many memories of Wu Wang, Wu Wang’s memory of Wen Wen was quite profound, so images related to Wen Wen still vaguely surfaced in Weisu’s mind.

Now he finally understood why Wen Wen had come to trouble him — he was taking the rap for that guy Wu Wang!

So, with a look of surprise, he said to Wen Wen, "You’ve misunderstood. Like you, I’m also a victim of that guy. I almost died at his hands before, and it was only with great difficulty that I managed to escape."

"The reason why I left my hometown and came here was to evade Wu Wang and to look for a way to restore my true appearance. Since he’s also your enemy, we should naturally be allies!"

Wen Wen’s eyes narrowed slightly, unsure whether to believe the guy in front of him.

That Wu Wang was an acting emperor. If it weren’t for the power of the Catastrophe Prison Warden, Wen Wen might still be unaware that Wu Wang was actually the true identity of ’Game Maniac’.

Therefore, Wen Wen decided to verify the claim. He asked, "Briefly introduce yourself, and tell me, when and where did you last see Wu Wang."

Without hesitation, Weisu said, "My name is Weisu. I live in Hua Shan City, Guangyue Province. The last time I saw him was about half a month ago; he seemed to be pursued by something..."

Wen Wen nodded to himself; indeed, Wu Wang was being pursued by water monsters from Oye Water City. On this point, he hadn’t lied to him.

Then Wen Wen checked Weisu’s information using the Ranger Terminal and chose a photo of one of his distant relatives to show him, asking, "Do you know who this person is?"

Weisu hesitated, then said with uncertainty, "She looks familiar, but I can’t remember who she is..."

Wen Wen took back the Ranger Terminal and snorted coldly, "This is the junior aunt of your third maternal uncle’s second cousin. If you can’t even recognize her, you must be lying to me."

Weisu was baffled and thought to himself.

Is he crazy? Asking a game nerd about such distant relatives; it’d be weird if he could answer that.

"Normal people wouldn’t remember that either. Ask about someone closer, and I’m sure I can answer," he said.

Wen Wen coldly chuckled and replied, "Who said normal people wouldn’t remember? Starting with my great-grandmother, I remember all my relatives’ faces, names, and jobs."

He wasn’t lying. Although he had hardly any interactions with them, he did indeed have an intimate knowledge of his mother’s side of the family. But this was simply an instinctive trait of his job as a detective.

As for relatives on his father’s side... he only knew one, Wen Rui.

Weisu was silent.

After a session of mocking and sarcasm from Wen Wen, Weisu finally managed to prove his identity. Wen Wen then had him lay out everything he knew.

Thus, starting with his encounter with Wu Wang, Weisu recounted his entire experience while Wen Wen listened and nodded along.

The person Weisu described was indeed Wu Wang, and it seemed reasonable that the ritual disruption had turned him into his current state, but Weisu was being evasive on certain issues!

After listening to his narration, Wen Wen immediately asked, "What is the thing here that can change you back to your original form?"

As soon as he heard this question, Weisu’s gaze began to dodge, clearly indicating that something fishy was going on.

Wen Wen tilted his head slightly, causing the hair to tighten even more, making Weisu’s breathing somewhat constricted. Under the intense pain, he couldn’t afford to keep hiding the truth.

"Wu Wang has a peculiar pill in his hands, a containment item called panacea. With just one pill, it can eradicate all diseases and pain from the body and restore a person to their most perfect state!"

"That pill wasn’t conjured out of thin air; it was birthed by a monster called the Golden Sea Urchin. As long as I take that pill, I can change back to my original form."

Wen Wen raised an eyebrow and asked, "Birthed by a monster... Does that still count as a containment item?"

Weisu shook his head; he wasn’t clear whether it counted as a containment item, but he knew the Golden Sea Urchin could change him back to his original appearance.

"The Golden Sea Urchin is very rare and only appears at specific times. He originally wanted to come here to kill the Golden Sea Urchin, but because he was being chased by an enemy, he couldn’t make it..."

Considering the Golden Sea Urchin they mentioned, Wen Wen thought it was very likely to be true; he had seen the enormous sea urchin and there were legends about the Golden Sea Urchin locally.

However, Weisu still hadn’t told the whole truth, so Wen Wen continued to inquire, "How did Wu Wang know when the Golden Sea Urchin would appear? And it just so happened that the Golden Sea Urchin appeared when you just transformed, isn’t that too coincidental?"

The skin on Weisu’s face twitched unnaturally, and then he said, "It might be a coincidence, I’m not sure how he..."

"Tell the truth!"

Seeing his expression, Wen Wen certainly knew he was lying. There had to be something wrong here!

But this time Weisu refused to respond to Wen Wen’s words, insisting it was all just a coincidence.

So Wen Wen controlled a strand of hair to wrap around Weisu’s ear, then he wrapped another strand around a walnut, maneuvering the hair in front of Weisu’s eyes. With a slight exertion of force, the walnut was neatly split in two.

Wen Wen then spoke with an ominous tone, "If you don’t talk, your fate will be the same as this walnut. I will start by cutting off your ears, then your nose, and finally gouge out your eyes. You’ll become a pitiful cripple without ears, nose, or eyes!"

Wen Wen didn’t need to make any mean faces, but these words spoken by him had a powerful deterrent effect. Weisu had no doubt that Wen Wen was capable of such actions.

Frightened, his nose ran and tears flowed, but he still insisted on his version, which was that it was all a coincidence.

The more he refused to speak, the more Wen Wen was convinced of his suspicions.

This guy obviously wasn’t one to remain unbending under pressure; the fact that he was so scared yet still not telling the truth meant the issue was very serious.

So Wen Wen sent Weisu to the Sanctuary, to be handled by the Demon Rodney.

Half an hour later, Wen Wen sat in front of Weisu, waiting for his reply.

This time Weisu was no longer tough. Although he had no visible skin injuries, the experience of that half-hour was more terrifying than having his ears and nose cut off!

Sniveling and choking, he said, "I’ll tell you, I’ll tell it all... Only a significant enough outbreak of disease, along with specific bait, could potentially attract the Golden Sea Urchin."

"So... to restore yourself to your original form, you created an outbreak!"

Wen Wen clenched Weisu’s throat, his eyes flashing violently, as if he wanted to strangle Weisu right there and then!
