Chapter 4:Interrogation

Looking around for the tenth time in the last 30 minutes, Adryan saw again that he was in a small gray room in which the only furniture was a table and two chairs, the only lighting being a light bulb that was hung above the table.

They had brought him here a few hours after they had arrived at the station where all the party survivors who were in good condition were being questioned.

Adryan was still wearing the same clothes he had on when he leave to the mansion's garden.

The redhead had his arms on the table as he played with a button of his shirt that no longer had much purpose.

From the looks of it they were still trying to find out what had happened at the party and who had been the participants in that great battle in the hall.

After another 5 minutes a middle-aged man with pale blond hair and gray eyes walked through the door with some documents in hand as he sat across from the redhead.

"Mr. Adryan I'm sorry to bother you but we need your testimony on what happened the day before."

Placing the documents in front of the redhead, he was showing them to him one by one.

They were a series of photos of the room that showed the damage it had suffered along with certain annotations on them.

'Something's wrong, he is being too nice....' the redhead thought as he narrowed his eyes and grabbed the first photo.

This photo was of a part of a wall in the hall where you could clearly see large cuts along it, obviously made by the skills of one of the Wind-blessed who was at the party.

Adryan began to describe what he had seen in good detail, setting it aside without much trouble, although the feeling of discomfort did not leave him.

After describing everything he could, he watched as the man in front of him nodded before pointing to the other photos.

Adryan began to do the same with each of them until he finally got to the last one that made him freeze.

It was Robert's body on top of an iron table of the kind used in morgues and it looked like it had been opened because of the very recognizable Y on his torso.

There was a special detail in Robert and it was that his blonde hair was now brown.

Looking up, Adryan watched as the man had a cold look on his face as he snapped his fingers and 2 other men entered.

"Mr. Adryan could you tell me if you recognize this man" as he said that he lightly touched the photo of Robert's body.

'I have to play my cards right or I'm going to die again' Adryan thought as a cold sweat ran down his back.

Now he did not have any weapons or sealed artifacts with him because he had sent them inside the City of Calamities to avoid being taken from him and to avoid being discovered.

It seems that they had a talk with Charles before and he had told them what he had seen so he would have to maneuver between that.

This would be the most difficult test of his ability, the man in front of him was most likely an mid sequence so he had to be extremely careful with his words.

Don't talk too little and don't talk too much.

"I know him, he was my friend Robert Patiño."

Adryan felt how an electric current began to run through his body causing him to start grunting in pain.

"What do you mean with 'was'?" the man's deep voice rang through the room as the current increased in intensity.

"B-beecause he tried to k-kill me from behind a-and he tri-tried to kill my fr-friend" the redhead snarled as he held his head and clenched his teeth.

"And what did you do then?"

"I-I k-killed him with my h-hands be-before he cou-could harm h-him."

The current increased in power causing Adryan to have to hold on to the table as he growled louder, this pain was nowhere near the pain he endured when he first heard the True Creator's rap nor when the white light enveloped him so it was tolerable but he had to fake it to avoid attracting attention.

Seeing that Adryan wasn't screaming in pain the man frowned as he spoke again.

"Your friend is Charles correct?"

"Cha-Charles y-yes it is h-him"

"According to his words, he told how you came out of the shadows and shot Robert who was attacking him, then Robert charged at you and disarmed you before trying to stab you but you reflected it with a blade before stabbing him in the heart, how did you do it?"

The pain had increased causing Adryan to fall to his knees as he groaned in pain and tears fell from his eyes.

Adryan tried to speak but the words wouldn't come out of his mouth so biting his tongue hard he managed to speak.

"I d-didn't come out of the shadows bu-but I ca-came out fro-from Robert's blind sp-spot while I w-was shooting at him b-but before firing he thre-threw a dagger at me and di-disarmed me, then he tried to attack me but I used a knife to deflect it and then stabbed him in the heart"

"So you are saying that Mr. Charles saw wrong with what you did?"

Growling loudly, Adryan looked up at the man and as he spoke between snarls he answered.

"Cha-Charles w-was too scared to the point that he didn't see R-Robert ap-proaching him until he wa-was in front of him, he mu-must have con-confused th-the way I-I ap-peared with coming out of the sh-shadows"

Looking at the red eyes of the redhead who was kneeling breathing hard, the man got up and stood in front of him.

"Last question Mr. Adryan, are you a beyonder?"

Now the pain had increased considerably and Adryan moaned more as he looked back at the floor.

"I-I'm not sir and but I k-know of their exi-xistence so pl-please stop I c-can't take it anymore"

When Adryan said that the pain disappeared and he fell to the ground gasping for breath as drool came out of his mouth.

Observing the man on the ground, the interrogator only clicked his tongue as he turned to look at the men who had entered.

"Get him out of here, he doesn't know anything"

The men nodded as they grabbed Adryan's arms and carried him out of the room, leaving only the interrogator who looked at the door where his men had left the room.

'At no time he lie so he really is just a normal person? ' The man thought as he took out a cigarette and lit it.

While smoking the man just shook his head as he went to his next interrogation.

This would undoubtedly be a heavy day for him.
