Versatile Mage: Thunderstorm

Chapter 110 Mo Fan: Is the Black Church in the Magic City finished?
"Junior, you will ask questions like this later."

Ding Yumian was instructing Li Yu on interrogation techniques. Li Yu listened attentively, and the expression on his face became more and more interesting.

"Senior, do you really have to ask this?"

"Just trust me, you won't be wrong."

Ding Yumian's confident assurance put Li Yu at ease. The two returned to the priest. The priest, who was trembling all over after being tortured by Xu Zhaoting's lightning magic, kept repeating what he said.
"I know nothing... I know nothing... I really know nothing..."

Li Yu squatted in front of the priest and slapped him. The crisp sound echoed in the empty and leaky factory building.

"Be honest and answer whatever I ask you, okay?"

Li Yu had a friendly smile on his face, and the blade in his hand moved across the priest's face.

"I believe you have a better idea of ​​my abilities. If I'm unhappy, I don't mind using some ancient punishment on you. Have you heard of Lingchi? It's the kind that cuts your flesh piece by piece.

Do you want to be stabbed with a thousand knives, or two thousand knives, or…"

"Three thousand knives?"

Li Yu's tone was as slow as an old man taking a walk in the park, but the priest's hair stood on end at the specially-imposed rhythm, and he quickly shouted,
“No, no, no! I really don’t know the identity of our deacon… oh, not the deacon of the Black Church!”

"Don't worry about that. You just need to answer every question I ask. You have three seconds to answer each question. If you hesitate, I will kill you with a knife."

"Don't worry, you won't die. I have plenty of medicine to keep you alive."

In order to verify the reliability of his words, Li Yu specially gave the priest a potion to drink, allowing him to feel the vitality of his body recovering quickly.

“This is such a waste.”

As the instigator of the priest's injury, Xu Zhaoting knew it very well. Seeing the other party's injury recovering quickly, Xu Zhaoting couldn't help but feel distressed.

"There's nothing we can do. We can't just let him die."

"Senior, you can start the interrogation now." Li Yu said to Ding Yumian who had been waiting for a long time.

Ding Yumian's expression had long since returned to its usual calm state. He nodded after hearing these words, then reached out and gently tapped the priest's forehead with his fingers. The latter felt an extremely gentle force entering his spiritual sea, and then heard the strange woman say:
"Don't worry, junior. I can monitor him at any time to see if he is lying."

The priest felt a little disdainful in his heart. He thought this new girl could do something new, but it turned out to be the same old lie detector test. However, he did not dare to show such a thought. He just kept shouting in vain that he knew nothing. Li Yu slapped him in the face and he became obedient.

"Now. I ask questions and you answer them."

"Yes, yes, yes. I will tell you everything I know."

"Hum..."

Li Yu cleared his throat and started the first question.
"What is your father's name?"

"what?"

This strange question made the priest look confused. Wasn’t this the wrong question?
Soon, his body told him that there was nothing wrong.

"Say it."

"what!"

A flash of cold light flashed before the priest's eyes, and a large chunk of flesh on his face was cut off, bleeding profusely. The intense pain made the priest dare not neglect it at all.

"My father's name is Mei Wenhua."

"Your mother's name."

“Song Liangxin.”

"your name?"

"Mei Conscience."

"puff!"

As soon as the name came out, the three people present couldn't hold back any longer. Li Yu also sneered.
"It's a good name, and it lives up to its name."

"age."

"27."

"Home address."

“XXXXXXX.”

"How many people are in the family?"

"..." This time the interrogation was extremely long. The priest was almost numbed by Li Yu's repeated irrelevant questions, ranging from life experience to family situation, from the school he graduated from to salary and savings, from friends and brothers to people in the same village...

The content of the interrogation was all-encompassing, except for any inquiries regarding his own evidence of guilt and information regarding other members of the organization. This was a bit unprofessional!
until……

"Your superior in blue?"

Under Li Yu's torture threats and irrelevant questions, the priest, who looked weak, was about to answer, but suddenly his eyes widened and he fell backwards with a scream. Li Yu and Xu Zhaoting rushed to rescue him, but were stopped by Ding Yumian, who said in a serious tone:
"It's too late. Everything related to the man in blue has been restricted. As long as the thought is spoken out loud, it will explode instantly and destroy the spiritual sea of ​​the person being cast the spell."

"Now what?"

Xu Zhaoting looked unhappy.
"Are we just going to get nothing?"

Even though he had anticipated the cunning and viciousness of the Black Church, he still didn't like the feeling of returning empty-handed.

Li Yu looked at Ding Yumian,
"Senior?"

The latter smiled.

"Not necessarily."

Ding Yumian looked at the five cultists who had fainted after being fed the drug by Li Yu.

"Junior, will you notify the trial committee about them as well?"

"How about you tell me the clue first, Senior? I'm worried that something might happen if we delay, so it's best to hand the clue over to the Inquisition first."

Li Yu didn't dare to bet whether the deacons of the Black Church had a way to confirm whether their men had been caught. More than a dozen priests and believers had cut off contact at the same time. As long as the deacons in blue were cautious, they would be able to withdraw. By then, wouldn't the clues they had finally obtained be in vain?

"Well."

Ding Yumian said as he opened the drawing software on his phone.
“The priest’s memory was destroyed very quickly, but I still captured the name and appearance of the blue-robed deacon from his subconscious thoughts.”

"Give me ten minutes to draw his portrait, and then I'll send it to you along with the code name."

"I see, Senior is wise!"

Li Yu was full of admiration.

No wonder the senior student specially arranged for him to ask irrelevant questions for more than half an hour, and even deliberately told the priest about her so-called "lie detector" ability. It turned out that everything was to relax the priest's vigilance and to directly capture the truest thoughts in the other party's subconscious mind.

You know, for this last short question, Li Yu gave up asking all the questions including the Black Vatican's stronghold. As long as he knew the identity of the blue-robed deacon, everything would be worth it.

After listening to Ding Yumian's explanation, Li Yu and Xu Zhaoting became more cheerful. Considering the appearance and title of the blue-robed deacon, if the inquisition could not bring justice to the other party, they would just block his door and curse him in the streets.

Ten minutes later, Li Yu received a picture of the portrait of the blue-robed deacon and a simple name from Ding Yumian. He was just an ordinary guy. Who would have thought that the seemingly harmless young man was actually a middle-level cadre of the Black Church, an organization with a lot of blood debts.

Li Yu didn't recognize the other person, but Xu Zhaoting exclaimed when he saw him:
"It's him!"

Li Yu asked curiously:
"you know?"

Xu Zhaoting nodded and said affirmatively:

"Of course I know him. He is a third-year student in the Thunder Department of our Qing Campus. His name is Ye Mo. He has just met the assessment requirements for the main campus this time."

"What do you think? Should we just arrest him?"

Xu Zhaoting suggested.

Then Li Yu rejected this suggestion.
“Who are you arresting? His name, identity, and appearance are all there. The Inquisition is enough. We should not confront the Black Church head-on. Besides, the blue-robed deacon is a core member of the Inquisition. His strength is basically at the high level. We are no match for him.”

Although he had doubts about the second half of Li Yu's words, Xu Zhaoting also acquiesced to the former's approach. At times like this, it is better to trust professionals like the Trial Council.

Immediately, Li Yu put the portrait, name and identity into a document and sent it to a judge's account through the "Yuchen Hunter" account.

The role of hunter level and network can be reflected here. In any case, the Yuchen Hunter account has made a big appearance during the Bo City disaster, is on the observation list of the Inquisition, and has some fame in the hunter circle of the Magic City, with the support of the Hunter Master level.

As soon as Li Yu's file was sent to the Tribunal, it received attention from the Tribunal. The Tribunal of the Black Church of Heart Demon City, out of trust in Yuchen Hunter, decisively abandoned the information screening procedure and directly mobilized personnel to conduct investigations and searches.

With the other party's appearance, name and identity, such a clear target seemed like a gift to everyone in the trial. All they had to do was to show up and arrest the person.

As expected, before dawn, the masters of the Inquisition raided a luxurious apartment in the Magic City and put the young owner of the house, who was unable to react, under magical constraints. The strength that the other party inadvertently released made the judges who carried out the arrest more confident. They then launched a demolition-style search and found the cloak representing the blue-clothed man's identity and various evil objects exclusive to the Black Vatican from the secret compartments of the room.

The arrest of the blue-robed deacon of the Black Church also caused a great uproar in the dark night of the Magic City. The Inquisition, which received an unexpected surprise, did not disappoint the pie that fell from the sky. The interrogation and search were a one-stop operation. Under the coordination of the Inquisition, all major organizations in the Magic City were deployed across the board. Many guys with guilty consciences were trembling with fear for the whole night.

Only a group of college students slept particularly soundly and even had a midnight snack to celebrate.

When Mo Fan, who was ready to show his strength and fight against the Black Church, found the message from his teacher Tang Yue, he was full of energy but his face was full of astonishment.

"What? The blue-robed butler was arrested? Is the Black Church in the Demon City finished?"
