Interrogation: A First Look at Eternal Night

"Someone fired a Ghost Fire Bomb at me. Did you do it?"

Upon hearing Hu Jiu's question, Han Yang lay on the ground, panting heavily.

Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed that the witch, who had been so confident just moments before, had now lost her human form.

Her skin was like melted wax, flowing and forming viscous chunks of flesh. These chunks of flesh, under the influence of gravity, slowly sagged and accumulated into semi-solid tumor-like structures.

The once graceful curves had vanished, the bones seemed to have been corroded, bent and deformed, and the body emitted a nauseating stench that permeated the air, making people feel disgusted and suffocated.

The witch's tragic end sent a chill down Han Yang's spine, and her voice trembled as she said, "Yes, yes... I did it. I did launch that Ghost Fire Bomb. I'm so sorry!"

Hu Jiu continued, expressionless, "How did you do that? How could you infiltrate Headquarters and pull off something so big all by yourself? Did you have an inside Headquarters assisting you?"

Han Yang's eyes flickered, her fingers unconsciously stroking the hem of her clothes, trying to keep her voice calm:

"I did indeed cooperate with a high-ranking official at the China Headquarters to carry out the attack on you."

"But I don't know his exact identity; perhaps he's an enemy you've offended."

"The [Key] I wield can open Supernatural portals, ignoring spatial distance, to reach wherever I want to go, provided I know the specific scene of the destination..."

As he narrated, his speech gradually quickened, his tone rose slightly, and his eyes flickered, avoiding eye contact with Hu Jiu.

Hu Jiu seemed thoughtful, stared at Han Yang for a few seconds, and said, word by word, "You're lying."

"I didn't!" Han Yang retorted instinctively, her shoulders tense and her hands clenched into fists, as if she had been greatly wronged.

"Heh~" Hu Jiu chuckled softly.

Han Yang's heart started racing, fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, a chill ran down her spine, and her body began to tremble uncontrollably.

"I'll give you one more chance. I want to hear the truth." Hu Jiu's tone was very gentle.

A bead of cold sweat dripped from Han Yang's forehead and fell to the ground. Her teeth were chattering. "How did you know I was lying just now?"

Don't try to change the subject!

Hu Jiu just felt that Han Yang's expression and posture were a bit off, so he casually tried to trick him, but unexpectedly he actually got something out of him.

"Okay, I'll tell you!"

The pressure from Hu Jiu was too intense; Han Yang had already exhausted all her courage to lie to him even once.

"I can tell you everything I know, in return, can you spare my life?"

Looking at the pleading and hopeful expression on Han Yang's face, Hu Jiu nodded without the slightest hesitation.

Han Yang remained on edge, unsure whether Hu Jiu would keep his promise, but he could only pin his hopes on it.

"The attack on you in the Capital was indeed my doing. I infiltrated Headquarters, took control of several authorized staff members, and stole a Ghost Fire Bomb."

"However, there's something strange about this process; it went too smoothly. Although I'm quite capable, I didn't expect to accomplish this so easily."

"After thinking about it carefully, I realized that someone at the China Headquarters probably noticed my intentions, but for some unknown reason, they kept quiet and went along with it."

"You've probably offended someone and are taking this opportunity to get revenge, while also shifting all the blame onto the Eternal Night Organization."

Hu Jiu frowned. Had he offended someone?

He was so kind that everyone who offended him died.

As for those he offended...

Let them all die sometime; after all, life is too short, the sooner they die, the sooner they can go to paradise.

"Let's talk about Evernight Night. Why did you attack me? Was it an order from this organization?" Hu Jiu asked again.

Han Yang said awkwardly, "It wasn't an order from the organization. My original target was actually Tianji from the Beidou Organization."

"The Magic Mirror that Tianji wielded was the Fierce Ghost needed by the leader of Evernight Night, but unfortunately, you killed Tianji, so I had no choice but to set my sights on you instead."

"I see." Hu Jiu's eyes darkened. "Who is the leader of the Eternal Night Organization? Why does he want that Magic Mirror?"

Upon hearing this, Han Yang's expression instantly twisted, a mixture of panic and confusion appearing on her face, and her breathing, which had barely calmed down, became rapid and irregular again.

"I advise you not to ask too many questions. You are strong, but you can't possibly imagine how terrifying the leader of the Evernight is."

"No matter where you are, if you mention him, he might sense it!"

As Han Yang said these words, she frantically gave Hu Jiu meaningful glances.

Hu Jiu was also taken aback; it was indeed quite fierce.

He's the kind of person who listens to advice the most; if he can't say something, then he won't say it.

He bent down, extended his finger, and touched Han Yang's forehead with a tiny Mind-Reading Talisman drawn on his fingertip.

If you can't "speak," then find another way to communicate.

Han Yang suddenly felt drowsy.

Eyes closed, then opened.

The sudden feeling of drowsiness disappeared, and the surrounding environment was exactly the same as before, without any change.

"What kind of person is the leader of the Eternal Night Organization?" Hu Jiu's voice rang directly in Han Yang's mind.

Han Yang was nearly scared to death. She looked up and met Hu Jiu's smiling, reassuring gaze, but her mind remained tense.

Is he a monster?!

How can someone know everything!

"I'm not a monster, don't think nonsense, answer my question!" Hu Jiu urged.

Han Yang's heart pounded wildly, as if it might leap out of his chest at any moment. He tried his best to clear his mind and organize his thoughts:

"The leader of the Eternal Night Organization claims to be a god!"

"In fact, I don't remember the leader's face at all. Even if I had seen him, I couldn't recall his appearance or features. I also know nothing about the leader's abilities."

"The leader proposed a very strange 'God Completion Plan.' I don't know the specifics, but I do know that he's collecting all sorts of Fierce Ghosts with diverse attributes, abilities, and the potential to develop in any direction."

"Actually, as far as I know, most of the Ghost Tamers who join the Eternal Night Organization aren't there for those vague ideals and principles, but rather for survival, resources, and benefits. I joined because I couldn't survive anymore..."

Hu Jiu fell silent.

He suddenly remembered something.

Regarding the origin of the Supernatural, one theory is that there was only one original ghost, who was the Primordial, an Omniscience and Omnipotence god.

Primordial shattered into different fragments, they gradually evolved into vengeful Fierce Ghost with specific functions. The more primitive the form of a spirit, the closer it is to the Primordial Omniscience and Omnipotence.

This kind of unreliable claim seems to have originated from religious groups in some foreign regions who believe that there is only one True God, hence the creation of this claim.

Could the leader of the Eternal Night Organization be trying to complete the legendary "god"?
