Truth and Lies Intertwined

Arya saw Taurus looked away and clicked her tongue.

She turned to look at Leo, who was standing there silently. "Where's the person?"

"Inside." Leo pointed at the glass in front of them. It was a one way glass where they could see the situation in the interrogation room but the people inside couldn't see them. Inside the room was a man sitting in the middle, his hands were bound. 

From outside, no sound could be heard. But even through the glass, the intensity of the torture could be seen from the painful expression and the blood marks on the ground. The man was trembling in pain and fear. 

Arya looked at the thin man and nodded as she walked inside.

The others saw this scene and the expression on their faces varied but they controlled it well so that it would not show. 

"There'll be a good show to watch." Aries chuckled as she leaned back. Her hand fiddled with her blond hair as she looked at the glass full of interest.

No matter how many times she saw it, Aries always felt that Arya's hypnosis skills were really powerful. So much that it seemed to be impossible to see through and cracked unless she was wiling to let go.

Well, there were exceptions, though.

At that time, they would add some drugs and then the interrogation could go on. It really saved a lot of their time. 

Aries glanced at Leo.

Only Leo was able to release himself from Arya's hypnosis forcefully and only affected for less than a second.

But that time was enough for a very capable person to injure him.

So even Leo didn't dare to put down his guard around Arya. In case she suddenly gave some psychological hints and made him embarrassed, then Leo wouldn't know what he should do. 

"Are you going to let us experience it too, Leo?" Taurus suddenly asked.

Leo arched his eyebrows and sneered. "If you want to experience it, you can tell her and she'll be willing to play with you."

"Nah." Taurus shook his head.

He might like excitement but making a fool out of himself just because of his curiosity was not something that he would be willing to do.

Klack!

Arya walked into the room and moved in diagonal steps bringing her necklace to sway slightly. When seeing a person for the first time, one would look at their face and then lowered their heads slightly.

It was because of this that Arya's necklace looked somewhat conspicuous and would attract their attention.

The slightly bigger gem, the color that seemed to be a mismatch with her clothes, everything was done on purpose. 

"You… who are you?" The researcher asked, his voice was trembling. Even though the person in front of him looked like a young girl, but he had the feeling that if he dared to underestimate the person in front of him, what awaited him would be nothing more than a miserable end. 

He had experienced a lot of pain and the researcher felt that he would be able to withstand more. There was no way he would let them get the answer they wanted. 

Arya smiled faintly and said, "I'm the one asking question here. Look at me."

The last sentence's voice sounded softer and somewhat ethereal. Those who heard it felt as if they were compelled to listen to her and follow her order.

Even those outside the interrogation room also felt the same way. 

The researcher's eyelids twitched and he tried to move but his eyes involuntarily looked in Arya's direction. The clear gaze suddenly lose focus when Arya said, "You're in a dream and there are people waiting for you. But to be able to see it, you have to delve deeper and see them there, calling for your name."

Calling for his name…

The researcher's eyes were completely unfocused and Arya looked at the man calmly. She continued her words, her finger tapping on the table in front of her. "Are you a researcher?"

"Yes."

"What do you research?"

"I'm researching the medicine that could stimulate one's brain, making one able to react faster and then…."

There were a lot of technical terms and knowledge that ordinary people would not understand. The researcher didn't seem to think that there was anything wrong as he continued to speak in calm tone.

Yet the unfocused eyes told them that this man was under hypnosis.

If one only hear his voice and didn't see his appearance, they would never believe that he was not voluntary.

Others outside couldn't hear the voice, but they could see that the researchers couldn't control his consciousness. No matter what questions the person in front of him asked, he answered subconsciously without being able to think too much. 

"It's indeed terrifying." Aries chuckled when she saw this, not surprised at all. 

Leo clicked his tongue in impatience. If it was not because this woman is still useful, he would not be willing to wait here in the slightest bit.

Miro's eyes were deep and he lowered his head. There were traces of fear and discomfort in his heart.

If he's the one sitting there….

Taurus' eyes looked intrigued but he didn't really want to be the one questioned by Arya. It's better to watch her do this to others.

The last one, Virgo looked at the scene and his fingers clenched to form a fist.
