Human Genius? Sorry, I’m a Deviant Chapter 70

Lan City.

Aberrant Purge Division.

Interrogation room.

"Team Leader Zhao."

Wang Mingyuan looked at Zhao Lin: "I want to ask you a question."

"What?"

Zhao Lin straightened his posture, appearing all ears.

"Why haven't you been investigating Dean Li's daughter all this time?"

Wang Mingyuan stared into his eyes and said: "You waited until we went and immediately found something wrong."

Zhao Lin waved his hand and said sincerely: "Professor Wang, you're truly remarkable. To be honest, we've been to that coffee shop too, even used specialized equipment, but still couldn't discover that secret room."

"Only someone of your caliber could make that secret chamber appear immediately upon taking action."

Wang Mingyuan slightly frowned, nodded, and didn't ask further.

This reason was sufficient enough; pressing further wouldn't yield anything more.

Li Ya was inside the interrogation room.

Facing interrogation, she only repeated one sentence.

Plus she was Dean Li's daughter.

Everyone was temporarily unable to do anything about her.

Meanwhile, Su Zhan and the other four sat in the room opposite the interrogation room.

This place allowed clear viewing of the interrogation room scene through the one-way glass, while those in the interrogation room couldn't see outside.

"Impressive huh, having strong family connections really makes a difference."

Liu Ziming stretched lazily at this scene: "Having a good father really helps."

"How do you have the nerve to say that?"

Xu Hao felt he was humble-bragging: "Your father's corporation ranks among Daxia's top hundred enterprises."

"Ah, ah."

Liu Ziming waved his hand: "My father can't compare to Dean Li. Comparing my father to Dean Li is actually complimenting my father."

Su Zhan didn't have any good solutions either.

Now they could only wait for Dean Li to arrive.

But really.

Making juniors like them wait was one thing.

Even someone of Wang Mingyuan's seniority had to be kept waiting by Dean Li like this.

Those interrogators, investigators, and so on.

Plus their group.

So many people all waiting for Dean Li alone.

Dean Li's face really carried great weight.

After quite some time.

"Professor Wang, Team Leader Zhao."

Dean Li walked over with steady steps, extending his hand: "I've troubled you both."

Wang Mingyuan shook his hand: "Dean Li, you're too polite. Just routine procedure."

Zhao Lin's handshake carried official firmness: "We appreciate Dean Li coming personally to cooperate with the investigation."

"Only proper."

Dean Li nodded: "After all... this concerns my daughter."

Zhao Lin made an inviting gesture: "Dean Li, shall we talk inside?"

Dean Li nodded, stepping forward calmly.

Su Zhan watched the three of them enter the interrogation room.

His sense of foreboding grew stronger.

Who was Dean Li?

The dean of Starlight Awakened Academy!

What about Wang Mingyuan?

Although a Vermilion Bird Academy teacher, he carried old injuries.

As for Zhao Lin...

His status and position probably seemed like a mere ant in Dean Li's eyes.

What if.

Dean Li became embarrassed and angry enough to resort to violence to solve the problem.

Could those two really stop him?

The more Su Zhan thought this way, the more anxious he became.

But watching Wang Mingyuan's composed demeanor in the interrogation room.

He gradually relaxed.

He didn't believe his teacher was stupider than himself.

Whatever he could think of, Wang Mingyuan must have considered too.

So this wasn't something he needed to worry about.

He just needed to sit here and watch the show unfold.

Inside the interrogation room.

Li Ya sat quietly, her fingertips lightly tracing circles on the table surface.

"Miss Li."

Zhao Lin opened the file: "What explanation do you have for the ingredients in the basement freezer?"

Li Ya didn't speak, looking toward Dean Li.

Dean Li said slowly: "Team Leader Zhao, my daughter has said many times already - she has absolutely no knowledge of that basement."

His sense of foreboding grew stronger.

Dean Li's eyes sharpened: "Since when did Professor Wang learn to joke? Fingerprints? Such things can be forged."

He turned to Zhao Lin: "Team Leader Zhao, do you know how much equipment I donate to the Aberrant Purge Division annually? And this is what I get in return - framed accusations?"

"Dad."

Li Ya called softly.

"Don't speak."

Dean Li interrupted her, continuing: "Gentlemen, my daughter has been frail since childhood and can't handle shock."

Zhao Lin remained unmoved: "Based on current evidence, we can completely enforce compulsory detention of Miss Li for two months."

In the adjacent room.

Su Zhan's eyebrows raised slightly upon hearing this.

Two months was enough time to make any Aberrant unable to hide.

Because Aberrants needed to feed monthly.

Of course, excluding him.

When he first transmigrated here.

There wasn't sufficient evidence proving he was an Aberrant.

That's why Doberman didn't enforce this measure on him.

After all, this measure restricted personal freedom and could be considered a human rights violation.

So it was only enforced when evidence was very substantial and concentrated.

But Su Zhan still felt relieved.

After all, judging from Zhao Lin's attitude, he maintained an official, by-the-book approach determined to confront Dean Li to the end.

Internal integrity remained uncompromised.

This matter had high probability of success.

Inside the interrogation room.

Dean Li's expression froze as he said coldly: "You think this alone can convict my daughter?"

"Not conviction."

Zhao Lin said coldly: "Just observation."

"It seems I need to have a good discussion with your Director."

Dean Li took out his phone, just about to dial.

"This is the Lan City Director's directive."

Wang Mingyuan said calmly.

The muscles on Dean Li's face twitched slightly as he stopped his action.

"Professor Wang means the Director knew about this all along?"

Wang Mingyuan leisurely took a document from his briefcase, pushing it to the table's center: "This is the investigation order personally signed by the Director this morning."

His fingertip lightly tapped the signature area: "It clearly states that compulsory observation measures can be taken against involved personnel."

"Old Zhou is quite... ruthless."

Dean Li forced a dry laugh: "It seems... comradeship in arms also fades slowly with time."

"Dean Li."

Wang Mingyuan emphasized: "This is direct instruction from Director Zhou of Lan City Aberrant Purge Division. You cannot stop this."

Dean Li's face turned ashen as he leaned back in his chair, like all vitality had been drained from him.

Dead silence fell over the interrogation room.

Li Ya looked at her father's condition and already anticipated her own outcome.

A wretched smile appeared at the corner of her mouth: "Dad, I'm sorry..."

"No! Yaya don't—"

Li Ya's skin began to crack, turning bluish-gray, her slender fingers gradually twisted and deformed, nails elongating into sharp claws.

Her originally clear pupils gradually dilated, entire eyeballs turning into turbid amber color.

"Stop her!"

Zhao Lin shouted.

But everything was too late.

Li Ya's aberrant body suddenly expanded.

Two months was enough time to make any Aberrant have nowhere to hide.

Blood mist exploded, shredded flesh splattering across the entire interrogation room glass.

"No!!!"

Dean Li knelt on the ground, grabbing his hair with both hands, emitting heart-wrenching wails.

Wang Mingyuan wiped blood from his face, silently watching this scene.

In the adjacent room.

Su Zhan and the other four stared dumbfounded.

Although the outcome couldn't be changed.

They never expected Li Ya to be this decisive.

Aberrant self-destruction... was a skill researched by the Transcendence Society.

Probably she didn't want to implicate her father.

The father-daughter bond ran deep between them.

But...it was destined to be unworthy of praise, only to be scorned by the world.

But!

Dean Li's daughter died right before his eyes.

Next...

Would he truly become desperate enough to do anything extreme!
