From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword

In the military hierarchy, the existence of a traitor is a very serious matter.

Once a traitor infiltrates the ranks, it can become a significant hidden danger, leading to unpredictable severe consequences.

Lu Heng had made a trip to Dragon Power Base and met with instructor Liu Songren to discuss this matter.

Afterward, Instructor Liu Songren reported the situation to his superiors, initiated a self-inspection procedure, and formed an investigation team to interrogate the warriors who participated in the Queldorei Battlefield.

It was not just Zhuo Hongjun; all the warriors conscripted to the Elf Civilization were to be interrogated.

This included ten people: Wu Wei, Tao Yalun, Chen Zihang, Zhuo Hongjun, all of whom had to undergo the investigation.

The investigation team needed more professional personnel, so they brought in people from Iron Blood to conduct the work.

In the temporary meeting room of the investigation team.

It was the first meeting of the group members, with Liu Songren as the primary responsible person, in charge of overseeing the work.

The people transferred from Iron Blood were acquaintances, Chen Linian and his student Gao Zhitin led the team, totaling four investigators.

The ten warriors under investigation were interrogated in order.

As most of the ten had been promoted, they had come from various battle areas upon receiving the order to be interrogated.

The first to be interrogated was Chen Zihang, since Lu Heng had already discussed the matter with him; he knew what the investigation team was probing.

The other nine only knew that they had been ordered to come; they were unaware of the specific task.

In the interrogation room, Lu Heng, Chen Linian and a recorder, three individuals, sat across from Chen Zihang, ready to start the questioning.

Knowing what the matter was about, Chen Zihang remained relaxed.

Lu Heng spoke first, "We've discussed this before, but we need to go through the process and record a paper report, so just recount the process from the beginning."

In the military hierarchy, disciplinary issues have always been strict.

Chen Zihang understood this and nodded in response, "Understood, you may start questioning."

Lu Heng was mostly an observer while Chen Linian was responsible for the questioning.

The specific content to be asked had been predetermined during the meeting.

If any details needed to be clarified, they could add questions on the spot.

Chen Linian, sticking to the predetermined questions, asked them one by one, especially inquiring into the details of the events that occurred in the Dark Wolfman Territory.

After Chen Zihang, it was Wu Wei's turn, followed by Tao Yalun; the questioning continued one by one.

Wu Wei entered with a relaxed expression and even raised his hand to greet Lu Heng upon seeing him, "Mr. Lu."

Lu Heng nodded in acknowledgment of his greeting, then pointed to the chair in front, "It's just routine questioning."

Similar questioning, which Wu Wei had experienced, usually occurred when something had happened that required an internal investigation.

As long as it was a normal questioning, there usually weren't any issues.

The questions asked were fundamentally the same, comparing and analyzing the content of responses from all ten.

If someone's response was different from the others, that indicated a problem.

Of course, if all ten responses were exactly the same, that was even more problematic.

After all, everyone has a different perspective, and when answering the same question, the content would inevitably vary.

Questioning each in turn, Lu Heng listened on the side, as much of the content was repetitive, forming a detailed progression of the entire event in his mind.

This feeling was like experiencing the events in the Dark Wolfman Territory along with the ten of them.

By the time Zhuo Hongjun was being interrogated, Lu Heng sat behind the table, not looking up at him, but highly focused.

Lu Heng initiated this investigation primarily to scrutinize him, as after all, Chen Zihang and the other nine had entered Kolos City together and mostly moved as a group, leaving little opportunity to carry out the Traitor Task.

Comparatively, Zhuo Hongjun was under greater suspicion.

Chen Linian first asked Zhuo Hongjun to recount the process of escaping from the Dark Werewolf Territory.

Zhuo Hongjun's account was not much different from the others', only some details varied, but the overall sequence was the same.

Chen Linian didn't notice any issues and continued questioning, "Did you ever acquire any Class while in Abyss Battlefield?"

Zhuo Hongjun responded, "Which Class are you referring to? I have obtained Class Source Material as an 'Arcane Master'."

Chen Linian reiterated the question, "Did you acquire any Dark Wolfman Class?"

Zhuo Hongjun shook his head, "No."

Lu Heng was very observant, watching his response, which was very natural and fluid, showing no signs of lying.

Chen Linian glanced at Lu Heng, visually signaling: no lies.

He had spent half his life investigating cases, and most of the time, he could discern if someone was lying while they answered.

If he were an expert in micro-expressions, he could clearly analyze which micro-expression indicated a lie.

Chen Linian, relying on experience and intuition, could discern whether a person was nervous or lying, but explaining the rationale wasn't his forte.

Such skills are gleaned from experience; attending classes may not be his strong suit, but they are effective in investigation.

After Chen Linian had asked all the questions and could not find any issues, he looked at Lu Heng with a questioning gaze, asking if they should move on to the next person.

Lu Heng considered for a moment then asked, "What is your Class?"

"First Transition Class or Second Transition Class?" Zhuo Hongjun replied offhand.

His constant counter-questioning caused Lu Heng to frown slightly.

Chen Linian tapped the table and sternly reminded, "When asked about your Class, answer fully without counter-questioning."
