Chapter 68: Chapter 68
To Chen Huanye, each of those people seemed extremely familiar. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel·fıre·net
They were none other than his own "neighbors," the ones he had forced to leave their rooms to serve as an alibi that night.
After all, although he could simply go out and destroy the cameras using certain sound frequencies, being alone in the corridors near them would be very suspicious, right?
However, it seemed that the spaceship wanted to investigate this incident thoroughly.
This was something Chen Huanye really did not expect...
After all, mobilizing so many people and so many guards because of a simple momentary failure in the security cameras simply did not make sense!
Couldn’t they just analyze that the noise was caused by a malfunction?
Still, believing that his plan had no flaws, Chen Huanye simply relaxed and looked around the room he was in while waiting for his turn.
Of course, his body was visibly trembling, just like all the others waiting in line.
When the corner of his eye caught a translucent glass wall, through which he could not see the other side, a half-smile formed on his face.
"Soon... your mind will be under my control, and the lady’s mission will be complete!" Chen Huanye thought.
Naturally, he realized that there must be some important figure of the spaceship behind that glass.
Soon, the line started to move, and countless other people were arriving to be interrogated.
Then, finally, it was Chen Huanye’s turn.
As soon as he sat at the table in front of the armed guard, the guard did not even look at his face and simply asked:
"Shen Jianyan," Chen Huanye naturally replied with his false name.
After a few casual questions, the armed guard finally got to the main question:
"What were you doing outside your room last night? More specifically, at 2:15 a.m.?"
"I was sleeping when, suddenly, a very loud noise woke me up, and I went out to see what was happening," Chen Huanye answered directly, without making anything up.
At least, this must be the answer most people gave, he thought.
After all, it was he who, using his talent, had created sound waves that woke all those people and forced them to go into the corridor at that time.
"What kind of noise was it?" the armed guard continued asking.
"Well, I can’t really say, I think it was high-pitched?" Chen Huanye showed a confused expression and answered timidly.
He clearly knew the type and the detailed description of the noise, but naturally, he would not say the correct term, so as not to raise suspicion.
"Alright," the armed guard casually confirmed, and then said: "The questions are over. Please wait in the next room with the others!"
Upon hearing these words, Chen Huanye immediately showed a relieved smile, which this time was not acting.
But it also made sense for the current situation.
After all, who wouldn’t feel relieved?
Then, he followed the instructions and went to the next room, which also had an identical glass wall through which he could not see.
There were several chairs facing the glass, and the people who had already finished the interview were sitting, talking quietly.
Probably complaining about why they were wasting their time there...
Time passed... and all the suspects had been interrogated.
Inside a room with two glass walls, from which it was possible to see the first interrogation room and also the room where those who had already gone through were waiting, were Luo Yang and Gu Mingyue.
Luo Yang seemed bored, looking around or fiddling with his special bracelet, while Gu Mingyue was clearly nervous.
They had already interrogated all the suspects, but hadn’t gotten anything useful.
Looking at Luo Yang’s face, unable to tell if he was angry or not, Gu Mingyue spoke quickly:
"Don’t worry, Supreme Commander. I’ll interrogate everyone again, and this time, I’ll do it personally using my talent."
"Even if I have to control everyone’s minds with my talent, I will definitely find the culprit!"
She offered without thinking much, afraid that Luo Yang might think she was incompetent.
As for the idea that it was just a common mistake of the spaceship? It never even crossed her mind!
If Luo Yang told her it was done by a human, then it was definitely done by a human!
And she would definitely complete the task and find out who was responsible!
However, Luo Yang just shook his head, leaving Gu Mingyue even more nervous.
"It’s over... the Supreme Commander is angry," she thought.
But, to her surprise, Luo Yang just turned his gaze to a person and calmly said, "And him!"
"Ah??" Gu Mingyue immediately froze and turned her eyes to the person Luo Yang had pointed at.
Looking at the middle-aged man, she exclaimed:
"How could it be him?" Gu Mingyue’s eyes blinked, slightly confused.
This person was definitely not among the main suspects in her mind after the interrogation!
However, what she didn’t know was that Luo Yang’s eyes were seeing far more than she could at that moment.
[Identity: Common-Class Resident of the Spaceship / ??? / ???]
[Strength: First-Level Evolutionary]
[Talent: Frequency Manipulation (SS Rank)]
[Frequency Manipulation (SS Rank): The user has the ability to manipulate countless types of frequencies to influence the world around them.]
"Shen Jianyan?" Luo Yang couldn’t hold back and let out a light laugh.
Before his Eye of Truth, how could anyone think they could fool him using a false name?
But Luo Yang had to admit that Chen Huanye’s acting was Oscar-worthy; if it weren’t for the Eye of Truth, he really wouldn’t have been able to figure it out.
’On top of that, SS-Rank talent? What the hell!’ Luo Yang was a little perplexed.
You know... even on his spaceship, the only person with SS-Rank talent was Gu Mingyue, the vice-commander of the ship.
Now, he discovered that a common-class resident also had SS-Rank talent?
Even if Chen Huanye hadn’t lied about his name, this alone would probably make Luo Yang suspicious of him.
’Moreover, why can’t I see his other identities? This has never happened before...’ Luo Yang scratched his chin.
