Heās still talking tough.
[Damn... It hurts! So painful!]
[My organs are going to burst!]
[Who is this woman! She barely used any force with that punch just now!]
[Besides the Order Enforcers, are there other people this strong?]
[That guy isnāt even stronger, is he?]
[Who on earth are they!]
His thoughts are in chaos.
Xu Xin sighed.
Heās deeply understanding the drawbacks of his mind-reading ability now.
This mind-reading ability can only capture what the other person is currently thinking.
Mind reading is not memory reading.
So itās not as useful as he imagined.
To get the information he wants, he needs to guide a bit.
"Who told you we arenāt the Order Enforcers?"
Xu Ying chuckled, looking down at the man still crouched on the ground clutching his stomach.
"You... you donāt have to pretend!" The man shouted immediately, "Order Enforcers are covered in blood patterns!"
"Blood patterns..." Xu Ying smiled slightly, "Is that right?"
Before she finished her sentence, a blood pattern crawled out from her collar, slowly creeping onto her cheek.
Then the second, the third...
Under the unbelievably terrified gaze of the man in front, Xu Yingās originally beautiful face gradually became covered in scarlet blood patterns!
These horrifying decorations looked somewhat jarring on her face, but still exuded an intense pressure, making her look more enchanting and bewitching, like a witch bathed in blood.
Suddenly, the man on the ground scrambled backward on all fours, screaming in terror, "You, you... you are Order Enforcers!"
"When did we say we werenāt?"
Xu Ying immediately stepped forward, one step at a time, a bizarre smile on her blood-patterned face.
"No, no... Grandma, my grandma, I was wrong, please... ahā!"
The man quickly showed his ability to adapt, trying to hug Xu Yingās legs and cry, only to be kicked away by Xu Ying.
"Get lost!"
His body flew several meters, rolling on the ground, landing before Xu Xin.
Then he instantly sat up, disregarding the pain, and tried to hug Xu Xinās legs, "Master! My master! You..."
Xu Xin didnāt bother with him, turning sideways to dodge, making him fall flat on his face again.
But the man quickly lifted his head, turned around, and cried with tears and snot.
"I was possessed to say such things, please, do not take it seriously!"
[They really are Order Enforcers! They really are!]
[I actually pointed at the nose of an Order Enforcer and cursed!]
[I actually wanted an Order Enforcer to spend the night with me!]
[I am an idiot! Iām such a moron!]
[Itās over, itās completely over now!]
[Damn it, why are these Order Enforcers pretending to be ordinary people?! Are they crazy! Is this entrapment!]
"You pretend to be ordinary people, how could I recognize you!" The man wailed with tears, "If I knew you really were Order Enforcers, I wouldnāt have dared to do such things under any circumstances!"
[A great man knows when to bend and stretch! If I canāt beat them, Iāll beg for mercy! Order Enforcers are like my old manās generation, begging for mercy shouldnāt be anything bad!]
Indeed, this guy is a descendant of survivors from a thousand years ago!
Though...
Xu Xin looked at the man before him with speechless disbelief.
This is truly without dignity.
This guy is a descendant of survivors from a millennium ago, how old is he?
"You just need to cooperate with our investigation." Xu Xinās voice softened slightly, "Iām not interested in how you possess the World Tree, weāre here to investigate a different matter. As long as you cooperate, nothing will happen to you."
The carrot and stick approach is always the best way to extract confessions.
And he wasnāt lying to the other party, he only said he wouldnāt do anything, but couldnāt control what Xu Ying might do.
The manās eyes immediately lit up: "Really? So youāre not here to investigate the World Tree! Oh! Then Iāll definitely cooperate with the investigation!"
...
Elsewhere, Shi Wanyun was sitting on the beach, staring blankly at the endless sea.
"Pua!" Lou FeiāEr surfaced from the sea, looking at Shi Wanyun sitting there, "Come down and wash up! We were covered in dust and sweating in the desert, clean up before thinking about the next move."
Shi Wanyun glanced at her magnificent figure: "Sea water isnāt quite suitable for bathing."
"Itās far better than having sweat sticking to dust on your skin." Lou FeiāEr walked out from the sea.
At this point, Jin Yue approached from behind them: "Iāve confirmed it, this is indeed an island in the ocean. Shi Wanyun, any idea why we ended up here?"
Shi Wanyun shook her head: "The destination I intended to teleport to was indeed near my treehouse, but somehow we ended up here."
"Then we have no choice." Lou FeiāEr was already dressed, "Your teleportation array pattern is invalid now, we can only go and see over there."
The three women all looked towards the center of the island.
There, a towering tree over a hundred meters high stood, seemingly out of place with the whole island.
