Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot-Chapter 1367 - 566: Interrogating Zhao Yue_2

I don’t know what he summoned before...

"I’ll try to control him?"

Jiang Shixue suddenly spoke up.

"No, it’s too dangerous!"

Hearing her words, Wang Tao subconsciously refused.

After all, Zhao Yue is a genuine Sixth Rank Awakened, for a Level 5 to control the spirit of a Level 6, it’s very likely to backlash.

However, Jiang Shixue looked at Wang Tao somewhat strangely.

"Bro, I won’t be backlashed..."

"Uh..."

Wang Tao then realized that Jiang Shixue’s way of control was different from his.

Simply put, his mental development was mixed; he knew a little of everything. If he mishandled it, he could be backlashed.

Jiang Shixue’s Marionette, however, was a pure control ability. If the control succeeded, she could manipulate the target at will, the length of control proportional to the opponent’s strength. If it failed, Jiang Shixue wouldn’t be backlashed, only her Awakening Energy would be wasted.

So, if Jiang Shixue tried to control Zhao Yue, the success rate might not be 100%, but definitely wouldn’t backlash; at most, some Awakening Energy would be wasted.

"Okay, you give it a try."

Wang Tao nodded.

Jiang Shixue immediately looked at Zhao Yue, her eyes faintly glowing red.

Then... there was no "then."

"Failed..."

Jiang Shixue immediately frowned her delicate brows.

"Normal, after all, he’s Level 6, and you’re only Level 5; his spiritual power is certainly not weak, and there might be level suppression too..."

Wang Tao comforted her, and Jiang Shixue continued to attempt control.

Failure, failure, failure...

After several continuous failures, wasting quite a bit of Awakening Energy.

Just when Wang Tao thought Jiang Shixue couldn’t control beyond her level, Zhao Yue’s somewhat crazed expression suddenly stiffened, and Jiang Shixue finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Bro, succeeded! But it’s only for a short time..."

"Awesome! How long can you control him precisely?"

"Uh... only 10 seconds... it’s because his spirit is troubled, otherwise it would be even shorter. And because his spirit is troubled, he might not be able to answer some questions..."

Jiang Shixue scratched her head, a bit embarrassed.

"..."

Wang Tao wanted to control Zhao Yue not to make him fight, but to interrogate him; 10 seconds was hardly enough time to get much useful information.

Wang Tao immediately asked Zhao Yue.

"What’s your name?"

"Zhao Yue..."

Zhao Yue spoke with a stiff expression.

"How did you ascend to Level 6?"

"I seized someone else’s Summoning Altar... sacrifice..."

Hearing this, Wang Tao wasn’t surprised.

From the 100% Internal Impurities he had inferred from Ge Fuxing’s body before, he had guessed that Zhao Yue might have also been a sacrifice once, but it was unclear whether he had escaped or killed the user of the Summoning Altar. Now, through Zhao Yue’s words, it was almost certain he had killed the other party.

Nevertheless, Wang Tao asked another question.

"Did you kill the previous user of the Summoning Altar? Who was it?"

"Yes, I sacrificed him... I don’t remember..."

Sheesh, pretty fierce!

To have been positioned as a sacrifice was practically a death sentence. Yet, Zhao Yue managed to take over the Summoning Altar and even killed and sacrificed the other party... one has to say, his ability is indeed strong.

"Then you..."

"Damn it, I’m going to kill you!"

Wang Tao was about to ask him the next question when Zhao Yue woke up.

He once again reverted to a fierce look, glaring at Wang Tao fiercely.

10 seconds was still too short...

After thinking for a moment, Wang Tao said to the two women:

"Let’s do this; I’ll beat him up, Jade Lotus, you watch and don’t let him die."

"Okay!"

I wound up my fists and pummeled Zhao Yue ruthlessly.

Until he was beaten half to death, Wang Tao then gave him a few painfully delightful Mental Attacks using his spiritual power.

If Wang Tao used his spiritual power to control Zhao Yue, there could be some risks. But using spiritual power to attack him had much less risk, or to say, with Zhao Yue’s current status, Wang Tao could attack him however he wanted without repercussions.

"Ah—"

The taste of a Mental Attack was excruciating. Zhao Yue, already beaten powerless by Wang Tao, screamed in pain after the Mental Attack, his gaze becoming much more scattered.

"Cough, I didn’t control my strength well, went a bit too heavy..."

Wang Tao quickly pulled back a bit and attacked for a while longer, until Zhao Yue was like a dead dog lying on the Golden Eagle’s back, his eyes no longer moving at all, only then did Wang Tao finally stop.

"Little Xue, you control him."

Even Wang Tao felt that he could control Zhao Yue now, but for safety and efficiency, better let Jiang Shixue handle it.

"Okay!"

Jiang Shixue once again launched Marionette at Zhao Yue, and she controlled him immediately this time, but the control duration didn’t change; it was still 10 seconds. 10 seconds seemed to be Jiang Shixue’s limit for controlling a Sixth Rank Awakened.

"Good, keep questioning!"

Wang Tao interrogated Zhao Yue again.

Afterward, Jiang Shixue expended a large amount of Awakening Energy to control Zhao Yue; although he was too weak each time and every control attempt was successful, they could only control him for 10 seconds, which was somewhat inconvenient.

During this intermittent interrogation, Wang Tao acquired quite a bit of useful information, making all three of them feel that it had not been a wasted journey.

Firstly, about how Zhao Yue ascended to Level 6. Wang Tao initially thought that he was a victim too, but as he learned more, he realized he had been too naive.

Zhao Yue had been part of the Dusk Church for a long time. Even before getting the Summoning Altar, he had harmed many of his own kind. The bad reputation of the Dusk Church at the Silver Serpent Base had a direct connection to him.
