Sky-cracking Rider-Chapter 1025: Section 1012 - Interrogation

As a supernatural power user, Chen Fei, who was temporarily detained, didn't receive a single shot of the supernatural ability suppressant, and neither did Lin Zixian nor Ginny.

The former held the 'spatial branding' related to massive survival resources, while the latter was just a nobody among many ability users, unable to stir up any waves.

Dang Wei Jun was an Earth Element Warrior; using a supernatural ability suppressant on him was a complete waste, achieving no effect whatsoever.

Therefore, the entire detention process was quite smooth, with no immediate orders to fight or kill.

However, throughout, Chen Fei still firmly controlled the entire 'Atlantis' through AI; the mere prison doors, except for the dozen high-strength composite locks outside, were essentially just for show.

Yu Chun's people thought hanging a few locks would be enough to imprison Chen Xiao'er in a cell, which was quite naive.

What's more, there were hundreds of thousands of mechanical beings and intelligent engineering machinery, just awaiting a single Cloud-piercing Arrow to rally all forces; a mere less than twenty thousand humans couldn't withstand even one wave of assault.

It wasn't just Chen Fei who thought so; other people might have realized it too, and the City Management Committee held an emergency online meeting to address the emergent situation.

The entire 'Atlantis' only had two supreme powers: one was Chen Xiao'er, and the other was the City Management Committee. Their authorities were clearly delineated, with the former focusing on major decisions and the latter on details and execution, implementing the will of the former.

But the military leaders weren't willing to easily accept having an inexperienced, inexplicable brat above them. If it weren't for the influence circle of the First Sovereign and the essential life supplies concerning everyone's survival, the Management Committee would have rebelled and quit long ago.

If they wanted to quit, they could go to the satellite cities. Three bowls of old rice a day, how could that not fill their stomachs?

See, Chen Xiao'er relied on the Sovereignty to neatly arrange his adversaries.

The First Sovereignty bullied people like this—it's a traditional skill for thousands of years; otherwise, where did nearly ten million square kilometers of territory come from? It's not like they were bought online, right?

"Is the meeting over?"

Chen Fei looked leisurely at the three people sitting sternly across the table, his gaze then leaping over them to glance at the five human soldiers standing guard at the door and corners, armed with guns and bullets loaded, but somewhat unable to conceal their nervousness.

Dang Wei Jun, Lin Zixian, and Ginny were also being interrogated at the same time, minimizing the possibility of collusion.

On Chen Fei's side, Huang Xiulun and two interrogation experts were personally in charge.

"Meeting? What exactly do you know?"

The inquiry hadn't even formally started, but Chen Fei's unexpected mention of the meeting immediately reminded Huang Xiulun of the just-concluded emergency meeting of the City Management Committee.

The expressions of the two interrogation experts beside him became unnatural at the same time; an unexpected situation occurred, likely to make their subsequent work very passive.

Chen Fei smiled and said, "'Under the skylight, there's nothing new. You won't forget who the king here is!"

Even when imprisoned here, he never lost the initiative; the military leaders of the City Management Committee were too presumptuous.

"Damn it! You know too much!"

Huang Xiulun angrily pounded the table in front of him; with intelligence being one-way transparent, how could they play this game? What was the point of keeping someone locked up here?

"Then go ahead and execute me!"

Chen Fei spread his hands open; don't think that executing him for an hour would scare him, only monks would be afraid of this trick.

"You think I... dare not!"

Huang Xiulun was about to follow up on Chen Fei's words when he suddenly realized something was wrong and quickly reacted.

Most ability users above D-level, especially Metal Ability Users, wouldn't fear conventional light weapons, which almost posed no substantial threat to these ability users with activated psi skills.

Chen Fei sat calmly in front of the table, his hands clasped, with a serious and earnest expression: "Gentlemen, let's make the most of our time!"

Huang Xiulun and the interrogation experts beside him immediately felt an illusion, as if they were the ones being questioned and Chen Fei was the one presiding over this interrogation.

What a ridiculous feeling!

"Well, let's talk about what happened after you went out."

One of the interrogation experts beside Huang Xiulun forced himself into the required state.

This was an interrogation; they were the interrogators, not the ones being interrogated. How could the roles be reversed?

"Here's how it went, we'll talk along the timeline. Just as well, I recorded a video, let's watch the big screen first."

While speaking, a flash of silver light appeared on the back of Chen Fei's hand, and a laser projector appeared on the table, projecting a light screen onto the nearby wall.

The silver-grey wall instantly turned pure white, presenting a floating bead texture like a lotus leaf on the surface, optimizing the visual effect of the light screen.

Apart from Chen Fei, everyone's eyes in the interrogation room were wide open, freely manipulating the surrounding environment, freely utilizing items within the 'spatial branding.' What's the point of previous detention, if it only let the opponent sleep peacefully and recharge?

The images on the light screen came from Chen Fei's first-person perspective, including the cockpit screen in the Mechanical Dragon's cabin and dialogues with the tight-lipped Dang Wei Jun, all the way to the hilltop cave about 101 kilometers from 'Atlantis.' The base height was unclear, with the ground covered by a thick layer of solid carbon dioxide. Since this planet had no sea level, there were no so-called elevation standards, so a base height zero line was set based on sampled pressure data, similar to the Prime Meridian setup, just for convenience in subsequent measurements, with no actual significance. After all, the setup was whatever they wanted.

Chen Fei chose to play a video segment and then give an explanation until they reached the vast underground little world, leaving Huang Xiulun and the others unable to keep calm, one by one jumping from their seats.

"Pause, let's stop here for now."

Huang Xiulun exchanged glances with the two interrogation experts and reached a consensus, interrupting Chen Fei's video forcibly.

"You need to reconvene the City Management Committee's emergency meeting, right?"

Chen Fei had the AI 'Adam' assist in editing the full video, adding his own voice-over, preparing a complete video package in advance.

"Exactly! I can't make decisions lightly on my own."

At this critical juncture, there's no point in hiding it anymore. Huang Xiulun bluntly acknowledged it.

Such a big matter had to be discussed by all the members of the City Management Committee; no one could be left out, otherwise, how could they account for the sovereignties behind them? If something went wrong, it might lead to war.

Facing a major enemy at present, the Blue Star Civilization couldn't bear any large-scale civil war, which would only allow the Extraterrestrial Races 'Sagali' Civilization to take advantage of the situation.

"The video and explanation have been sent to your personal email."

Chen Fei waved goodbye to the three, neither sending them off warmly nor keeping them.

The technology underlying the cloud was the digital intelligence construct 'Cybertrom.' Originally of the same root, AI 'Adam' easily emulated a cloud server and communication server, providing various functional services, so within the range of 'Atlantis,' most people's cloud storage and communication functions still operated normally, except those still touching the Blue Star cloud data.

"Thanks, we'll end here today."

Huang Xiulun wasted no time in getting up and leaving, closely followed by the two interrogation experts, eager to return to receive the video and hold the meeting.

The human soldiers stationed in the room filed out, leaving Chen Fei alone and the door still open—truly outrageous.

It wasn't just Chen Fei who submitted video files; so did the Earth Element Warrior Dang Wei Jun. His 'Dragon King' assault-type heavy armor also had a video recording function, with a first-person perspective, perfectly corroborating Chen Fei's first-person video.

Lin Zixian, harassed by the interrogation experts' questions, suddenly and unexpectedly saw Chen Fei, hands behind his back, slowly passing by outside the corridor. When he noticed Lin Zixian's gaze, he even turned around and waved.

This scion of the Old Lin Family nearly choked on a mouthful of reverse blood.

What happened to this world? Did it completely fall apart?

Shouldn't the Chen be escorted away or detained, how could he leisurely wander outside? Hey, you damn soldiers, are your eyes blind?

One by one, they didn't even notice.

The human soldiers responsible for the security of the interrogation room stood as straight as javelins.
