The mascot of the wishing shop is a cat.

Supervillains – there are many such concepts.

Some are crimes that cause significant social harm, such as technological crimes or propaganda that is unspeakable; some are major criminal cases; others may be terrorist activities; or summoning evil gods or alien races, etc.

These are among the definitions of super criminals in this society.

Liu Meng, on the other hand, is a complex super criminal.

First, he jeopardized public safety, causing hundreds of families to be torn apart and lives lost. Second, he summoned alien races and eventually escaped, only to be discovered again as a monster.

Putting everything else aside, the very idea of ​​transforming humans into monsters while retaining their own minds, if widely disseminated, would almost certainly cause social unrest.

So, Liu Meng is currently being interrogated for the first time in a temporary detention center. He will be interrogated many more times until he actually vomits everything.

Just as they were about to begin the interrogation, Lin Xiyue came over carrying a cat.

"You've arrived? Please have a seat. We believe you've made significant contributions, so you have the right to be here for this interrogation and to offer your opinions. We also want you to supplement what you know from the sidelines. Don't worry, there won't be any overly gory scenes."

Seeing Lin Xiyue come over, he quickly pulled her in and made her sit down before explaining why he had to call her over.

"Ah! (??w??) Okay. By the way, Lingyan is back too. He should, probably, maybe, come over in a little while."

Lin Xiyue nodded and sat down.

"It's alright, don't worry about him. He's in charge of the physical force in our squad; he'll only be entertaining when it comes to things that require brains. I can talk to him about it when I get back. Look, it's about to start. Let me tell you, our interrogator is amazing; I'm always incredibly impressed by him."

Lingji didn't care whether Lingyan came or not, but she enthusiastically recommended the interrogator in the team. Looking at her starry eyes, it was hard to believe that this beautiful older sister, who was usually very aloof, actually enjoyed watching interrogations.

"Hey, wake up."

As soon as Lingji finished speaking, a man walked into the place where Liu Meng was, which was separated by a wall.

The person primarily responsible for the interrogation was a man from the elite team in Lingye, named Ling Yu.

He was of average build, average height, and average voice—in short, the kind of man you'd easily lose in a crowd. But he was an exceptional interrogator. Those he interrogated would even reveal details like how old they were when they wet the bed, just to beg for his mercy. Ling Yu didn't subject prisoners to excessive physical torture; instead, he used psychology and his own research to conduct psychological interrogations.

"Hmm...(⊙x⊙;)"

Liu Meng was woken up and found himself unable to move, trapped in a transparent energy pod. A tube extended from the pod and was inserted into an opening in his abdomen.

"Ah! Where are my hands?! Where are my feet?! What have you done to me?! (;?Д?i|!) (；?Д?)y "

Liu Meng looked at his body from head to toe and realized that not only could he move his head, but the rest of his body was gone, leaving only a torso, a neck, and a head. He couldn't even bend over, and he wasn't even sure if his torso was intact; what if only a part remained?

So at this moment, he was like a terrified goose with its wings and feet tied, only able to keep twisting its head, screaming and filled with fear.

"Stop yelling. Sigh, this isn't our doing. I'm the doctor in charge of your treatment. You can call me Dr. Yu. Now, let me ask you, do you remember the scene before you fell unconscious?"

Ling Yu sighed, signaling Liu Meng to calm down and recall what had happened. After approaching Liu Meng, Ling Yu quietly released his special ability. His ability could make people subconsciously relax and trust him, which was one of the important reasons why he was an outstanding interrogator.

"Ah I……"

As Ling Yu spoke, Liu Meng gradually fell into deep thought, recalling the events before he lost consciousness.

"Hmm... I remember now, my mind was filled with fear, and I wanted to run away, and then I ran headfirst into a group of people..."

Liu Meng spoke these words with some hesitation, as if he didn't quite understand what he had done.

Do you remember what you were afraid of back then?

Lingyu astutely grasped the key points from Liu Meng's words.

"Yes, it's a wave! A crimson wave, like blood! It's boundless, it, it's going to kill me!! Ah—"

Liu Meng went mad, writhing and struggling frantically. Despite having no limbs, he still desperately tried to escape. Soon, his eyes became bloodshot, his heart pounded wildly, and it felt as if an invisible hand was gripping his throat. Liu Meng's mouth gaped open, but he couldn't utter a sound; veins bulged on his forehead, blood vessels throbbing wildly within.

"Calm down! Calm down! There are no waves here! Not even any red! It's just the two of us! Calm down! It's okay, think about it, this place is safe."

Lingyu gradually amplified his voice, emphasizing the safety of the area and repeatedly telling everyone to calm down.

After Lingyu's constant emphasizing, Liu Meng finally calmed down again after five minutes.

"Phew, thank you so much, Dr. Yu. I don't know what I would have done without you."

Liu Meng looked at Ling Yu with gratitude and trust in his eyes.

Of course, his trust wasn't easy to gain; after all, he was a highly educated, serious criminal. This must have been Ling Yu using a little trick. Where Liu Meng couldn't see, a small, semi-transparent insect, resembling a mosquito, gently landed on his neck. Its straw-like mouthparts quietly pierced his skin, connecting itself to his body and forming a strange cycle.

"It's okay, let's talk slowly. Say whatever comes to mind, and if it hurts, we'll stop, okay?"

Ling Yu sat on a stool that was slightly lower than Liu Meng's line of sight, naturally making himself a head shorter than him. This height would unconsciously create a sense of relaxation, as it would make one feel like they were in a dominant position.

(Most of these theories are made up by me, lol)

"Okay, okay. I'll say it..."
