Enemies Are All Nourishment for My Fungi? Chapter 109 – Chapter 109: Chapter 109: Interrogating Another Who Comes Knocking

Chapter 109: Chapter 109: Interrogating Another Who Comes Knocking

The rules of the sect were so strict, yet the most informed assistant was doing side jobs in the hotel. If the boss became a bit more suspicious, he wouldn't be able to sleep peacefully tonight and would likely send someone to check.

She waited.

At 2 a.m., Ye Nai woke up from a nightmare, her eyes still closed, as she released a large amount of spores towards the doorway.

Although she had locked the door when she returned, there was noise from it being opened from the outside.

Ye Nai lay still, her eyes only slightly open, and she saw a dim flashlight beam on the floor.

Smart move, shining the light on the floor to avoid waking the person on the bed.

Based on the feedback from the fungus, there were four people who entered. Once the last one entered the room, all four collapsed with a thud, unconscious.

Only then did Ye Nai stretch her hand to turn on the bedside lamp, get off the bed, relock the door and proceeded to search them.

Besides smartphones and watches, she also found four guns fitted with silencers.

There was also a laptop bag containing indeed a portable computer.

The fungus also indicated that among them, two were Awakeners, one from the mental system and one from the Wood Element.

Ye Nai dragged out the one from the mental system, stored the other three in the Space, then tied the mental system's hands behind his back, pulled down his trousers halfway, and clutched his trachea and heart before finally waking him up.

Those from the mental system regained their senses quicker. When he realized he couldn't move, he took a deep breath, but couldn't get any air. The harder he tried, the more suffocated he felt.

Ye Nai held the confiscated handgun against his forehead.

“Awake? Want to chat?”

“A woman? Who are you?”

“Damn, breaking into my room in the middle of the night, and I haven't called the cops on you for home invasion and attempted rape is already merciful. And you have the nerve to ask who I am?”

“Sorry, wrong room.”

This man from the mental system was very straightforward. Having sneaked in and realizing things weren't as described by his boss and that the opponent didn't seem easy to mess with, his best course was, of course, to defuse the situation and pull out quickly.

“Just a light ‘wrong room' and you think it's settled? You think I'm easy to bully because I'm a woman?”

“What do you want?”

“Explain your origins. If there's one lie, I'll kill you all.”

“I don't know what you're talking about.”

“Still playing tough?”

Ye Nai sneered. The next second, the man experienced a severe heartache, as if his heart was being wrung like a wet rag.

“…Ah!”

He wanted to scream but couldn't. The intense pain didn't allow him to raise his voice, and the clutched trachea denied him fresh air.

Ye Nai coldly watched him struggling on the floor, soon sweating profusely, and his hair soaked with sweat, but he just wouldn't faint or die.

She tortured him like this for two minutes, then gave him half a chance to recover gradually.

“Fun? Think about it for a minute. If you still won't talk, we'll continue.”

“What do you want me to say?” The man was still stubbornly resisting.

“What did four guys sneaking into my room in the middle of the night want to do?”

“I got the wrong room.”

“And if you didn't get it wrong? What did you intend to do?”

“If I didn't get it wrong, then I was going back to my own room.”

“Four well-dressed men in a hotel, and you all share one double room? Playing what, Jenga? Why not find some more people, make a circle, that would be much more fun, right?”

“…”

The man kept silent.

Ye Nai didn't let him off.

“A minute's up, let's continue.”

“…Ah!”

This time the intense pain came from his kidneys, not his heart.

“I've heard that a kidney stone attack is as painful as giving birth—let me see if it's really that severe.”

The person from the mental system was now in so much pain that he was rolling all over the floor, mouth agape, unable to scream or breathe, unable to find any position to alleviate the pain as his head banged against the ground. Despite the carpeted floor, his forehead did not even swell.

Tears and snot ran down his face, and a spot on his pants was wet—he was in so much pain that he had lost control of his bladder.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk, it's only been a few minutes, and you're already like this. You really can't handle pain, not even as much as a woman.”

Ye Nai was still making snide remarks on the side.

Her voice, however, seemed to bring him back to his senses as he struggled to crawl back to the wall.

“Spare me, spare me, please spare my life…”

“Your life isn't worth much.”

“I'll talk, I'll tell you everything, just spare my life, save me…”

“Alright, since you're pleading.”

Ye Nai ceased her action, giving him ten seconds to breathe normally before she continued to choke him.

He was just taking a deep breath when suddenly he could barely breathe again, his eyes rolling back as he suffocated.

“You've already tried to trick me twice, three strikes and you're out. Try anything a third time, and you can go die.”

“No, no, I'll talk, I'll talk.”

“Speak, what are you here for?”

“We're here to find someone.”

“Who?”

“Our boss's assistant.”

“Who is your boss?”

“The owner of Beiling Credit.”

“And the boss has to send four thugs to break into someone's room in the middle of the night instead of just calling? Is the assistant cheating on him?”

“Uh…”

“What would you have done if you found this assistant?”

“Killed him.”

“Huh, what kind of business does your Beiling Credit operate?”

“Debt collection.”

“No wonder. Now, tell me what else I don't know about the stories behind Beidou Gang and Beidou Sect.”

“…!!!” The man broke into a sweat and realized something, “I haven't…”

“Guessed right, you didn't pick the wrong room, too bad you picked the wrong opponent. You really shouldn't have messed with me. Enough small talk, tell me your story. If it's good, I'll let you go; if not, I guarantee not a trace of your bones will be found.”

The mental system Awakener fell silent for a while, his head bowed.

“I'm talking, please spare my life.”

“Speak.”

Ye Nai turned on the overhead light, pulled out paper and a pen, and opened the recording app on her phone.

According to this person, these four were from the Beidou Gang, specifically hired to handle the dirty work—the Beidou Gang is the dark hand of the Beidou Sect.

As he specialized in dirty jobs, he knew much more than a simple assistant. Being from the mental system, his intellect and memory exceeded many in the gang. He remembered everything he had seen, heard, and experienced, and could talk endlessly once he started recounting the events.

Moreover, his powers from the mental system included some offensive capabilities, like disrupting or even breaking an opponent's train of thought—a confused mind is a losing game.

This unbeatable strategy met its match today.

It found a heavy, solid cast-iron plate—his foot was shattered into a comminuted fracture.

He talked until dawn began to break, by which point it seemed nothing more was to be squeezed out of him. Ye Nai packed up her papers and turned off the recording.

“Alright, it's getting light, time for me to go. But since you sneaked in here at night, there's a good chance you were caught on surveillance; I need to think about how to deal with you guys, so you don't cause me any trouble.”

“Surveillance didn't catch anything, we hacked into the system and replaced it with a loop of empty footage, but we must disable it before dawn. If someone is in the corridor and not on camera, it'll give us away.”

Realizing that Ye Nai sounded like she was going to dispose of them, the man divulged some more information, attempting to save his life.
