Reincarnated as an Energy with a System-Novel

Chapter 1398  Interrogation

Ning stared at the woman in front of him for a while before giving a small smile. He produced the Book of Treasures and placed it on the table.

The woman looked at the book and quickly realized that was the Zurin Treasure she had read both of the other two captives talking about.

She reached out for it but Ning quickly took the book and pulled it away from her.

"This does not belong to you, so please do not touch it," Ning said.

"You are not allowed to have a treasure on you in the interrogation room. Hand it over," the woman said.

Ning took the book and made it vanish again, making the woman jump in surprise. "If you say we can't have a treasure here, then I won't."

"Where did you put it?" the woman asked.

"Away," Ning answered.

"I just told you that you're not allowed to have it in the interrogation room," she said.

"And it's not. You're free to search forif you want to. It is not in this room at all," Ning said, raising his hands to show her that she was free to csearch him.

The woman gave a quick search only to not find anything at all. It was a surprise to her that something that large could not be found at all. She sat back in her chair, unable to comprehend just what was happening at all. Was sZurin treasure at play here? How was she unable to find the book?

"Do you have anything more to ask?" Ning asked her. "From what it sounds like, you were worried about the Zeppelin, but we should have explained to you that the man named Tony had a watch that could vaguely tell the future."

"It told him a future where he would be hurt, and he was worried it was because of the Zeppelin. That's all," Ning said.

"No, not yet. We have more to ask," the woman said. "You will answerwhy you want to visit the pope? Is it because he is the person that you want to kill?"

She very much wanted to see if that was true. She was connecting dots in her mind, and this one seemed the most obvious one.

"I told you, the thing I'm hunting is not human," Ning said. "Unless you're tellingthat the pope is not human."

The woman glared at Ning for not answering her directly. "We can play games, Mr. Ning. But that will only mean you will have to remain here for that much longer. Your other two friends have called you the brains of this journey. They are only doing this because you've promised them a lot of different things."

"That I have," Ning answered. "As for keepinghere for a long time, you can't. The longest you can keepin the station is 24 hours. After that, unless you have evidence, you will have to letgo. Or am I incorrect?"

The woman didn't answer at first but she reluctantly nodded in the end. "That's true," she said with a sigh.

Ning smiled and looked at the woman's shoulders. "Do you have to be of the church to be an officer in this country?" he asked. "Do you believe in God Zurinus?"

"I do," she answered.

"May I ask why?" Ning asked. "Were you born to a religious family or did you gain faith while you grew up?"

"I was raised in an orphanage, so I've always been religious," the woman answered.

"Oh," Ning said, quite surprised. He hadn't expected to meet two orphans in two days.

"Are you not a man of faith?" the woman asked.

"I'm a man of logic and facts," Ning said.

The woman shook her head. "I will ask you a few more questions, please answer seriously."

The woman tried to dig every information from Ning, but she didn't get anything valuable from him at all. The other two had answered a lot freely, but they didn't seem to know a lot either.

In the end, she didn't know what to do. It wasn't like she could hold Ning for a long teither.

In the end, she decided to let him go.

"The Airan police force will learn of the fact that you wish to see the pope, and what your probable intentions are. You will most likely be banned from coming anywhere close to the Pope, so be ready for that."

Ning narrowed his eyes at the woman. "Now why would you do that?" he asked.

"It is my job," the woman said. "If going to see the Pope is your intention, you might as well forget about it."

"No," Ning said. "I'll still go look for him. I'm sure I'll see him one way or another. Can't give up on your dreams this quickly, you know?"

The woman said nothing. "You may leave now," she said and reached to uncuff him.

However, Ning simply stood up, his cuffs coming off his wrist without any need to unlock them.

"Thank you," he said and walked past the woman to the door, unlocking it and walking out.

The woman quickly followed behind. "How did you do that?" she asked.

"Do what? The cuffs? They just weren't locked from the start. Someone made a mistake," Ning said.

"No, they were locked. How did you open it?" she asked.

"I didn't," Ning said. 'Now, if you will excuse me, I am famished and will need to get something to eat soon."

Ning nodded to the woman and walked away. The woman was left behind in an absolutely stunned capacity. Tim and Jasmine grabbed their stuff before following Ning out. "How did it go?" Tim asked Ning. "You told us to tell the truth, so I told them only what they asked about, nothing more."

"I saw no reason to be truthful all the time," Jasmine said. "I answered what I could and didn't what I couldn't."

 "Forget about that," Ning said. "Let's go eat."
