Soul echo

Chapter 436 Interrogation
In the end, Zhong Ye still failed to achieve the achievement of beating everyone once. After he, Lilian and the others knocked down more than 100 people, the people in the town calmed down.

"Among you, is anyone on the crew of the lord's ship?"

Facing Zhong Ye, a tall, blood-stained strong man who suppressed the chaos in the entire town with just a pair of fists, everyone was silent and did not dare to speak easily.

However, Zhong Ye still found a few suspected people through the small actions between them.

"The lord is dead, not only him, but also his two sons, their family has no heirs, and you probably won't be able to continue to earn money from 'crew' work in the future—oh, yes, I know you What kind of work are you doing, I hope you can stand up for yourself before I do it.

"At least if you stand up yourself, the church and the clergy will judge you, not me."

The expressions of the 'crew' hiding in the crowd changed after hearing Zhong Ye's words.

Their relatives, friends, and neighbors looked shocked and turned to look at them.

Their relatives seem to have realized something, but they will not be able to say it for a while.

Those 'crew' struggled a little and didn't want to go out, but their relatives didn't think so, they hurriedly pulled their clothes and bumped their waists.

The guy standing opposite looked ruthless at first glance. If he really made a move, he might just kill him directly, right?
Moreover, the town of Schwenningen is not big. Before that, 'crew' was an enviable job. Many people knew them. Even if their relatives were unwilling to do it, there were naturally others who were willing.

As a result, the 'crew' who were hiding in the crowd were quickly pushed out.

Zhong Ye took a glance, there were only five people, and it was definitely not all the 'crew', but it didn't matter, he just wanted to know something about the ship from these people.

For example, what towns will the ship pass through, and in which towns they will drop the 'slaves' they transport.

As the 'crew' they should know these things!

"It's all gone, there is no need to quarrel, the god who launched that attack is under the crown of the Supreme Light."

Zhong Ye said something to the others, and then looked at the 'crew' pushed out by the townspeople.

"Come with me, I have something to ask you."

"that……"

Just as Zhong Ye turned around, someone uttered a voice, which forced him to stop and look back.

Seeing Zhong Ye looking back, the 'crew' who raised his hands high couldn't help but shrink his neck, and his arms drooped limply, "I still have some things at home, can you let me go..."

"You have something to do at home, so why were you arguing with others just now?" Zhong Ye asked with his head tilted.

"Ah, this..." The man sneered, without further words.

Zhong Ye found that not only that person, but also the other four 'crew' did not seem to be ready to leave, and said: "I don't mind communicating with you here - if you don't mind, we can talk directly here .”

"Then let's go!"

As soon as Zhong Ye finished speaking, someone spoke, and then walked towards Zhong Ye.

At this time, no matter how reluctant they are, they still have to follow in Zhong Ye's footsteps and talk to him about the ship elsewhere.

As the 'crew' of that ship, they knew exactly what Zhong Ye wanted to ask them.

If they read correctly, the strong man just now came from the direction of the lord's mansion. In addition, he knew that the lord's family was dead and his body was still covered with blood. Maybe he was the one who killed the lord's family.

Zhong Ye led the way ahead, and Lily and Lilian walked behind the five of them, seemingly blocking their escape route.

Zhong Ye led the five 'crew' all the way to the edge of the pier. At this time, there were only a few ships docked by the pier, and one of them was their 'workplace'.

The crew looked at the big ship with complicated expressions, and couldn't help sighing in their hearts.

In the future, there will be no such days of making a lot of money easily...

Zhong Ye didn't intend to insinuate, and asked bluntly: "Is the ship you work on used to transport slaves?"

This question caught the five crew members by surprise, they never expected Zhong Ye to ask such a question.

They fell into hesitation, and after a while, someone sighed and said weakly: "Yes..."

Judging by their attitude, they should know that human trafficking is a crime.

Zhong Ye folded his arms and stared at them, "You should know that you are committing a crime, and I don't intend to ask why you became accomplices. Now I just want to know what your specific job on the ship is, tell me!"

Hearing this, several people couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, this strong man didn't seem to have any plans to kill them... at least for the time being.

"We...probably clean up, control the sails, carry the cargo when docked, and then disembark and pull the ship in places that are difficult for ships to pass through. Sometimes we need to help row the boat. The helmsman is usually directly appointed by the lord. We are not qualified to touch the rudder." Someone answered honestly.

Zhong Ye could tell that the man was telling the truth, but there was one crucial thing he didn't mention.

"What about when you met robbers?" Zhong Ye swept his gaze over everyone's faces, "Is it true that you have never met water robbers before?"

Robbers and robbers are hard to get rid of. Even in the 22nd century where Zhong Ye lives, such people still exist. He himself encountered it once, but at that time he was communicating with fighters from other countries in New York. study.

The bandit's prosthetic should belong to the cheap one, and he took it off in two or three strokes.

It cannot be banned in the 22nd century, and it is even more impossible in this era.

"The robbers dare not touch us." The speaker also showed some pride.

A useful intel...

Zhong Ye nodded slightly, and asked again: "In some towns along the road, how many slaves should you release, so, which towns are they?"

Several crew members were shocked, apparently they did not expect Zhong Ye to even know about this matter.

This time, the crew was silent for a long time, and then a middle-aged man slowly said: "Tubingen, Stuttgart, Heilbronn, Heidelberg..."

Hearing these names from the middle-aged man, Zhong Ye couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

If he remembers correctly, behind these names all represent a city of considerable size.

Zhong Ye pondered for a while, and suddenly had a new idea.

"Do you know why your lord died?"

The five people were puzzled by Zhong Ye's endless question. How could they know such a thing?
However, in order to prevent Zhong Ye from getting angry, someone still answered along his topic: "Yes, is it because of human trafficking?"

"Ah."

Zhong Ye suddenly laughed, causing the five people standing across from him to immediately become vigilant, and two of them cast their reproachful eyes on the person who spoke just now.

"This is just part of it. More importantly, their family believes in an evil god. That evil god has the ability to use a ritual to turn humans into monsters like black mist. You have transported them to these places for so many years. The city's slaves were probably the sacrifices used for this ritual.

"Do you think they did this just to create chaos? No, once their plan is successful, everyone in the entire city will turn into that kind of black mist monster, and then be absorbed by that evil god.

"The body of the evil god is also something like black mist. Let me put it this way, do you feel a little familiar?"

More than familiar!
Wasn't the one who was attacked and killed by the Sun God just now a monster like black mist?
They also quarreled over it and almost got into a fight.

"If I said that you were almost transformed into that kind of black mist monster by that ritual, how do you feel?"

"……what?"

The five of them felt as if they suddenly couldn't understand what Zhong Ye said, and asked questions in a daze.

Seeing their appearance, Zhong Ye shook his head, and said: "The lord's family also arranged the necessary things for the ceremony in Schwenningen. They also launched the ceremony just now. Once the ceremony is successful, you and your family will Devoured by that evil god, the entire Schwenningen was completely destroyed."

"How dare they?!" Someone exclaimed.

However, after screaming, he realized his stupidity.

—Why didn't they dare?

"The ceremony has been destroyed now, otherwise I wouldn't be standing here chatting with you." Zhong Ye looked at them lightly and said, "What did you guys hide before? Tell me."
