Chapter 369: Suffocation Order
Chapter 369: Suffocation Order
"Please, take a seat."
As they returned to the second floor with the Sensor, Lindsey was exceptionally polite, even inviting him to sit down.
But the Sensor dared not be so casual, standing rigidly in place.
His gaze upon Lindsey was as if staring at a devil.
Meanwhile, Forlz, resting beside them, showed signs of improvement. Observing Lindsey and the Sensor, he couldn't help but wonder:
"This is...?"
Lindsey briefly explained:
"He overheard our conversation just now."
"I don't mind others knowing about this, but if someone is driven by greed, it might cause even bigger trouble."
Upon hearing Lindsey's words, the Sensor quickly raised his hand and swore:
"I swear by the Essence and the World that I will never tell anyone about what happened here!"
"I was just being absent-minded, making such a foolish choice."
The Sensor's expression was one of terror and agitation.
Forlz, a Believer, was inherently kind, and this made him feel pity for the Sensor:
"These guys are greedy, but they haven't done anything truly despicable."
"If he only overheard our conversation, then..."
Before Forlz could finish, Lindsey abruptly interrupted:
"Forlz, of course, I don't plan to kill him."
"But you should be aware that since he heard our previous conversation, he also understands things that ordinary people shouldn't."
"..."
Forlz instantly realized what Lindsey was implying.
He turned to look at the Sensor, wanting to say something, but the Silence Order prevented him from speaking.
Lindsey seamlessly took over the conversation:
"Ordinary people, upon hearing the name Muelleranhuun, would definitely not dare approach and cause trouble of this magnitude."
The Sensor's expression became extremely tense.
But Lindsey paused, then continued with a heavier tone:
"And you're a Sensor."
"When Forlz and his companion were in trouble, did you sense anything?"
"..."
The Sensor's face paled instantly.
He lowered his head, and his peripheral vision unconsciously glanced towards the window.
"With me here, you certainly won't escape," Lindsey said calmly, shattering the Sensor's fantasy.
"Speak, what did you discover that night?"
"Forlz is restricted by the Silence Order and cannot speak, but you don't have that problem."
"..."
The Sensor clenched his fists, sweating profusely, yet remained silent.
Seeing this, Lindsey reached out and patted him.
"Ahhhh!"
The Sensor wailed, his body convulsing.
The adventurers outside also heard this cry, and some even left voluntarily.
As Lindsey reached out to pat the Sensor, he equipped the Venomous Thornwood Armor.
The venom of the Thornwood Armor was not lethal but caused intense pain.
The Sensor's willpower was insufficient to resist this pain, and he quickly gave up resisting:
"Please... please stop..."
"I'll tell you everything!"
Only then did Lindsey release his hand.
The Sensor collapsed with a thud, panting heavily for a long time before raising his head again.
But this time, he no longer dared to remain silent as he had before.
"That night, I did notice the trail of Muelleranhuun."
"He took Forlz's companion into the cave in Echo Valley, and they haven't come out since!"
Lindsey continued his questioning:
"Since you know everything, you should understand the truth behind the rumors. Why did you join others in surrounding Forlz's residence?"
The Sensor cautiously glanced at Forlz:
"I just heard that Nature Worshipers have something that can protect them in the forest.
"Furthermore, isn't he a believer...?"
Upon hearing this, it was Forlz who sighed.
Due to the past catastrophe involving the divine, believers have always been treated with suspicion, and even as a nature worshipper, he couldn't escape this biased view.
Forlz, familiar with such treatment, waved his hand, his expression filled with bitterness.
He didn't even curse the other party!
"..."
At the same time, the Sensor saw Forlz's action and glanced at Lindsey, before cautiously asking:
"You see, I've said everything I should. Can I leave now?"
"I guarantee with my life, I won't leak any secrets!"
Lindsey calmly replied, "You haven't finished saying everything."
The Sensor's expression was filled with bewilderment:
"Huh? What are you talking about? I've told you everything I know..."
Lindsey suddenly interrupted, "There's also a Law Knight besides Mullernahun, right?"
"..."
The Sensor's expression turned to panic, his mouth opened, but no words came out.
Having his lies exposed multiple times by Lindsey, he was at a loss for how to respond.
Lindsey suddenly stood up and turned to Forlz beside him:
"Forlz, get some rest."
"Although I can't guarantee it, if I get the chance, I'll try my best to rescue your companion."
Forlz's expression was complex, realizing that Lindsey was about to leave.
Although their meeting was brief, lasting less than an hour,
The gratitude in his heart still made his eyes sting slightly.
"I... I..."
Forlz's voice abruptly stopped.
The nature worshipper suddenly clutched his throat, struggling on the spot.
It was as if something was blocking his airway, making it impossible to breathe!
"Forlz?!"
At this moment, Lindsey had activated the Puzzle Module.
He observed the changes in Forlz's essence.
Instantly, he realized that the organizer's skill on Forlz had transformed from a Silence Order to an even more severe constraint, preventing him from breathing!
"Hold on!"
Lindsey rushed over and supported Forlz.
He immediately used his essence to try and expel the influence of the skill.
But the ability of a Phase VII organizer was far beyond Lindsey's capabilities, and Forlz was on the verge of suffocating to death!
"Do you have any skills or items..."
Lindsey scanned his belongings and finally found a tool that could change the situation.
He took out the Emergency Respirator and attached it to Forlz's face.
Forlz immediately regained his breath.
The Emergency Respirator's function included providing breathing assistance in suffocation situations.
In this way, they managed to bypass the restrictions of the organizer's skill.
Forlz's condition began to improve, and the intensely activated organizer's skill started to fade from his body.
After a full quarter of an hour,
The Emergency Respirator's duration ended, and Lindsey removed the mask from Forlz's face.
Forlz, still shaken, touched his throat:
"I... I seem to be fine?"
Lindsey replied, "It's likely that Mullernahun sensed something or something happened, causing the Silence Order on you to transform into a more severe constraint, preventing you from breathing."
"..."
Lindsey offered some brief comfort to Forlz.
This man didn't know much, and even after being freed from the Silence Order, he couldn't provide any additional information.
Confirming that there was nothing more to gain from Forlz,
Lindsey went straight to the Sensor's side, picked up the Awakened, who had lost his will to resist, like a helpless chick:
"Let's go, it's our turn now."
"Since the night is so beautiful tonight, let's take a stroll through Echo Valley together."
