"Is this a living specimen?" Staring at Samuel's head, Phyllis tried to make out the so-called crimson aura on him, but found nothing.
"That's right." Chen Xiya nodded. "I can use a special ability to sense whether a target has a crimson aura."
"There's an ability like that?" Though surprised, Phyllis did not doubt it too much.
After all, she was the deity's only disciple. No ability she possessed would seem strange to Phyllis.
"Does the Cardinal Directorate have a dedicated interrogation room? With a living specimen, this will be much easier." An unusual gleam flickered in Phyllis's eyes.
As she spoke, she suddenly realized there were people present before whom she needed to maintain her public image, and she froze.
"Yes."
As a duke, Casper was thoroughly familiar with the Cardinal Directorate within the North Wind Territory.
Only after he answered did Phyllis belatedly look awkwardly at Chen Xiya and stammer, "Um, well... would the three of you mind if I interrogated him?"
After all, in her eyes, Chen Xiya was exceptionally gifted.
Even if she was a Sixth Rank Transcendent, she likely had not spent many years reaching that level and was still very young.
She might be somewhat repulsed by interrogation.
"Of course not. Please go ahead, Senior Phyllis." Knowing what she was worried about, Chen Xiya smiled gracefully.
In fact, if Phyllis was willing to serve as an assistant, Chen Xiya would still give her an origin slot.
Besides, once Phyllis advanced to the Sixth Rank through her channels, she would practically become one of their own.
Afraid that Phyllis might hold back out of concern for appearances, Chen Xiya added, "Teacher Marsha once said that although they still retain the original person's consciousness, they are no longer the same soul."
"That's good."
