Chapter 220: Chapter 219 Interrogation
“Group one… group two, group three, keep moving.”
Having just lectured Mirage and Beibei, the depths of the forest suddenly transmitted sporadic voices. Shao Zifeng hurriedly ran to a nearby tree and squatted behind it.
Uncertain of the other party’s intentions, Shao Zifeng closed his eyes and activated his empathic ability, presenting every living being within a hundred meters as phantoms in his mind.
Through recent studies, he understood purple phantoms indicated fear, green represented friendliness, red signified hostility, pink showed affection, and blue was neutral, with color intensity reflecting the strength of the emotions.
At that moment, within his perceptive field of vision, Qiuqiu’s phantom was deep pink, Mirage Beibei’s was light pink, while Lingling’s egg and the little deer’s egg, being in evolution, showed no emotional fluctuations.
As he continued to scout ahead, five fully-armed, pale blue figures appeared in his perceptive field, approaching his location.
Blue represented neutrality. Among the groups in the distance, a few had phantoms that were pale blue with a tinge of green; did this indicate friendliness towards him?
Shao Zifeng breathed a sigh of relief, concluding that these must be agents from the Abnormal Administration Bureau sent to search for him.
Shao Zifeng hesitated for a moment but decided to go back with them. He had to face what was coming, as avoiding it wouldn’t solve anything.
Reluctantly recalling Qiuqiu and the oblivious Mirage Beibei to his pet space, Shao Zifeng emerged from behind the tree and shouted into the depths of the forest, “Comrade, I’m here!”
…
The Abnormal Administration Bureau’s field vehicle drove on a bumpy mountain road. Shao Zifeng sat in the back row, facing two agents in field uniforms, with an arresting dog lying beside their legs.
Once they emerged from the forest, the agents were very polite to him, offering him a warm drink and even refraining from handcuffing him.
Midway through their journey, the younger agent covertly moved closer to Shao Zifeng, glanced at his mentor to see no reaction, and leaned in to whisper, “Brother, thanks for yesterday.”
“Ah?” Shao Zifeng blinked, then remembered he was referring to the rescue operation, and chuckled in reply, “It’s nothing, just doing my duty.”
Seeing the concerns in Shao Zifeng’s heart, the young agent looked back at his mentor again, then whispered, “You don’t need to worry, all our comrades at the Abnormal Administration Bureau, including those from various city branches, have agreed on the same story, that you were rescuing someone…”
“Cough, cough.” The older agent glared at him, and then offered Shao Zifeng an ugly smile, clearly from someone not used to smiling.
The young agent scratched his head and chuckled but did not continue.
However, hearing the young agent’s words did indeed bring some comfort to Shao Zifeng.
A few minutes later, the field vehicle steadily stopped at the entrance of the Abnormal Administration Bureau, where the parking lot was now mostly empty.
As soon as Shao Zifeng got out of the vehicle, he saw several people hurrying towards him.
“You little rascal!” bellowed Bald Qiang right beside his ear.
Seeing Shao Zifeng in his thin, ragged pajamas, a flicker of guilt crossed Bald Qiang’s face as he patted Shao Zifeng on the shoulder.
“Brother Shao.”
“Captain.”

Happy to see them, Shao Zifeng greeted them cheerfully, “You all came.”
The group was not very expressive, except for one who loved to express himself and was often ignored.
Urged by the Abnormal Administration Bureau’s agents, Shao Zifeng took the clothes and phone Li Yiming brought, “You guys go ahead, the Abnormal Administration Bureau will contact you if there’s any news.”
With that, he walked into the Abnormal Administration Bureau’s gate under their complex gazes.
…
In the interrogation room, Shao Zifeng changed into his clothes and casually observed the layout of the interrogation room.
Similar to traditional interrogation rooms, the entire room was decorated in cold tones. All four walls were covered with thick sponge-like material, even lacking any sharp angles to prevent the suspects from self-harming.
It was rumored that the room also contained materials that isolated energy fluctuations. Whether true or not, Shao Zifeng was not prepared to test it with his own body.
Well… he wouldn’t under normal circumstances.

The thick door of the interrogation room was pushed open, and a middle-aged man wearing a black suit with a slicked-back hairstyle walked in, followed by a young man carrying a briefcase, who seemed to be his secretary.
The middle-aged man carelessly sat down behind the interrogation table, took a piece of paper from his secretary, lifted his eyelids, glanced at Shao Zifeng, and asked indifferently, “Shao Zifeng?”
“Uh.” Shao Zifeng looked at the man and felt uncomfortable.
It wasn’t that the man displayed overt malice, but a subconscious repulsion and dislike made Shao Zifeng wary.
“I am Gou Donghai, the team leader in charge of investigating your case.” Gou Donghai flashed a rather hearty smile at Shao Zifeng, squinting at him.
No matter how one looked at him, he didn’t seem like a good person.
“Team Leader Gou.” Without understanding the other’s intentions, Shao Zifeng couldn’t just be rude.
“Shao, according to the information we’ve gathered, you guys went out to drink yesterday, right?” Gou Donghai casually flipped through the documents in his hands and asked, “I wonder where you went afterward, Shao.”
Shao Zifeng rolled his eyes. I damn well want to know where I went too.
“I drank a bit too much yesterday and then went back to the hotel to rest.”
Gou Donghai tapped the interrogation table seriously and said, “Shao, I hope you cooperate with our investigation. If you refuse, we can detain you under the public order statutes.”
“You’d better think carefully before speaking.”
The interrogation room was lit by a single hanging lamp. Under the light, Gou Donghai squinted his eyes, looking as if he had Shao Zifeng all figured out.
Although internally exasperated beyond measure, Shao Zifeng, bowed by necessity, relayed the events he remembered.
“Later, a huge moon appeared in the night sky, and then I…”
“Bang!”
Before he could finish, Gou Donghai slammed the table forcefully, “Say what you need to say, what’s this about a huge moon? You think I’m here to listen to a story!”
Tiny dust particles stirred by the blow danced under the stark cold light.
Shao Zifeng was now a bit stunned.
What’s the situation, can’t you see such a big moon?
How did it turn into making up stories?
Is this some kind of interrogation method?
Is he bluffing me?
Thinking this, Shao Zifeng decided to test further: ‘The moon that rose from the Yundu Sanctuary yesterday, that big, round one…’
“Enough.” Gou Donghai interrupted him impatiently, squinting and staring intently at Shao Zifeng, “Since you don’t want to talk, let’s discuss the issue with your pet beast.”
Shao Zifeng’s heart tightened, and he became instantly alert, instinctively sensing that this man was here for his pet beast.
The atmosphere in the interrogation room was eerily quiet. Shao Zifeng looked at the man sitting under the light and pursed his lips.
Click.
The crisp sound of the iron door breaking the silence filled the interrogation room.
In the somewhat glaring light, Feng Yaohua entered with his secretary and a few others in single file.
