The interrogation room was so pitch-black that it felt boundless.
Han Dong was restrained here alone.
Everything below his calves was covered by a layer of Black Liquid... This liquid could monitor Han Dong's internal energy state and sense fluctuations in his emotions, making the upcoming interrogation easier.
