Truth Serum

"Sit."

Pro gestured at the old, dirty sofa as he commanded Charlie to sit. Charlie frowned as he stared at the dirty sofa as he complained, "Are you really making yours truly sit on such a dirty piece of sh*t? Yours truly refuses to sit on such a disgusting-"

Pro placed his gun on Charlie's forehead as he raised his brow threateningly. Charlie shut up as he obediently sat down on the sofa while grumbling, "Yours truly will make you pay for this!"

Seeing Charlie sit down, an evil grin appeared on Pro's face as he commanded, "Alice, feed him the drug."

"Huh? What drug?" Charlie tilted his head in confusion.

However, before Charlie could think further, Alice walked up from the side, grabbed his chin, opened his mouth forcibly, and poured in a glass of water. Forcing the mouth shut, Pro and Alice watched Charlie choke on the water before swallowing it.

"Y-You! What did you just feed yours truly?!" Charlie squealed in fright while choking.

"Nothing much. Just a truth serum that we are developing and putting to the test," Pro replied with a smirk while playing with his gun.

"How dare you! Don't think yours truly will tell you anything just because you fed yours truly a truth serum! Yours truly will have the right to remain silent!" Charlie howled.

"Of course, of course. You always have the right to remain silent or lie, but let me tell you about an interesting side effect of this newly developed truth serum," Pro explained before pausing a bit for suspense.

"For those who drink this drug, if they lie or stay silent for 30 seconds or more, they will experience some very interesting side effects. These side effects include hallucination of your worst fears or a distortion of your reality into a horror scene," Pro continued as he glanced at Charlie with an evil smirk, "It seems you've been silent for a while, would you like to experience the side effects?"

"What?! How could something like that exist?! You are lying to yours truly! That's impossible!" Charlie yelled back in fright.

"Well, it's up to you if you believe it or not. Let's start with our .. interrogation," Pro sneered as he began to question, "Name?"

"You don't deserve to know yours truly's name," Charlie sneered arrogantly.

"Alice, stuff his mouth for 30 seconds so that the drug will take effect," Pro commanded.

Alice then walked up to Charlie with a t-shirt and stuffed his mouth while disregarding his struggle. Charlie wanted to pull the shirt out, but Alice held his arms down.

Tick. Tick. Tick. The watch on Charlie's hand counted the time as only Charlie's muffled struggle was heard in the room. 30 seconds passed by and Pro signaled Alice that she can start playing.

Alice giggled as she charmingly whispered to Charlie, "Look at me."

Charlie glanced over in confusion as Alice asked, "Am I pretty?"

Charlie blinked his eyes in confusion before he nodded his head with a hint of lust in his eyes. Alice giggled cutely before her head began to twist around slowly as she moaned, "How about now~"

Charlie watched with eyes wide open as Alice's head twisted a full 360 degrees. As Alice's head turned back to look at him, Charlie then woke up from his shock and began to struggle violently in an attempt to escape, but Alice held him down with no problem.

"How do you like the side effects of the drug, kid? Was it interesting?" Pro smiled as he asked gently, only for Charlie to stare at him with eyes of horror.

"So ... will you talk now? Just so you know, the side effects will get worst over time," Pro commented.

Charlie frantically nodded his head. Pro then signaled for Alice to pull out the t-shirt.

"Y-yours truly will answer anything you ask. Just give yours truly the antidote first, you have the antidote right?" Charlie slyly promised with a hint of fear.

"Hah, we are not stupid kid. You got to answer all our questions first without any tricks or you won't be getting any antidote. Right Alice?" Pro cheerfully replied as he pointed his finger at Alice.

Charlie followed Pro's finger to see a headless body holding him down. His eyes widen in fear as he screamed, "AHHHH!"

"Oh shut up kid, it's just the hallucinations kicking in," Pro said with an evil grin.

Alice stuffed the t-shirt back into Charlie's mouth as her head rolled over on the ground and touched Charlie's foot, "Shhhhh~ Master is telling you to be quiet. Hehehe."

Seeing this, Charlie struggled like crazy as his pants became wet. His legs instinctively kicked Alice's head away, but he still failed to escape.

Pro smiled gently as he walked up to Charlie as he stated, "I will now take out the rag. I only want to hear answers to my questions. If I hear any other nonsense or you decide to yell, you will be in deep sh*t, understand?"

Charlie stared at Pro with blood-shot eyes as he nodded vehemently. Pro smiled as he reminded, "So, I want you to be completely silent until you need to answer a question. Remember not to lie. Alright, let's start."

Taking out the t-shirt, Charlie took deep breathes as his eyes peeked over at the headless body in fear.

"Alright ... let's start with something easy ... name?"

"C-Charlie J. Wemington," Charlie stuttered.

"Gender?"

"M-male."

"What does your father do?"

"Y-yours truly's father is the mayor of this city. H-He also dabbles in some commercial industries," Charlie replied as his eyes flickered around.

"Oh? What commercial industries does he dabble in?" Pro asked with a smile.

Charlie went silent for a while. Seeing this, Pro reminded, "Time is ticking~"

"H-he helps humans find a new home," Charlie replied as a drop of sweat rolled down his face.

"Oh? Helping them is it? Are those humans willing to be helped or forced to be helped?" Pro asked with an evil grin.

Charlie went silent as his mouth opened and close as if he was debating whether to answer. Seeing this, Pro can already guess so he said, "Human trafficking huh? What are worthy crime for a trashy human."

"N-No ... that-' Charlie stuttered but went silent as his eyes fearfully stared at Alice's head who was rolling over.

"Oh, seemed like you wanted to lie ... well, moving on to the next question. It's very simply," Pro continued with an evil grin, "Do you want to take a sh*t?"

Charlie froze as he looked at Pro in confusion as if he couldn't believe what he just heard. Charlie was about to reply with a no, but suddenly, his stomach grumbled. Charlie's face scrunched up as he replied with a strange face, "Y-Yes, I do."

"Alright, if you need to, you may go, but please hand over all electronic devices on you," Pro commanded as he gestured to Alice.

The headless body then began to search Charlie's body as he stiffened up in fright. It wasn't long before an iPhone, a pack of cigarettes, a bag of white powder, and a black card was laid on the table. Seeing these, Pro smiled at Charlie gently as he told him, "You may go now. The toilet is right there. Please enjoy your stay."

Charlie frowned a bit as he felt that statement was weird, but his disagreeing stomach urged him to hurry into the toilet. It wasn't long before moans of pain echoed from the toilet.

Alice's head rolled to the headless body's feet as the body picked it up and fixed it back on. Alice pouted cutely as she said, "Master! Alice didn't get to play enough yet!"

Pro rubbed Alice on the head as he comforted, "Now, now. Alice, there's still more for you to play with."

Pro then collected the items on the table and stashed them away in his kitchen drawers. These free items may come in handy in the future, might as well 'borrow' them permanently.

"Well, this guy seem to be a rich guy. His background will be a bit troublesome, but I have a moderate amount of strength now. Unless the government sends a powerful mystic or a full army after me, I should be able to deal with them. As long as I don't kill the guy, his father will at most send an investigation team here instead of an extermination team," Pro concluded as he poked his head out of his domain to see a buff man in tuxedo trying to kick open the door to apartment room 446.

"Well, let's first deal with the bodyguard. Even though he may be innocent, no one will care for a dead body guard right?" Pro muttered with an evil grin as he deactivated his ability on the poor rich second generation in the bathroom.

Making sure the bathroom is locked, Pro snuck up behind the buff man. Then, he switched to physical form, activated his claws, and smashed down at the bodyguard. As if sensing the danger behind him, the bodyguard swiftly spun around while throwing a kick.

Thud! The kick landed on Pro, but Pro only felt as if it was an ant's bite. Pro grinned as his claws continued to smash down and chopped right through the bodyguard's outstretched leg like butter.

"AHHHHHH!" the bodyguard screamed in pain as he lost his balance and fell to the ground, "W-what are you?!"

Pro sneered as he replied, "You don't need to know, but you have seen too much."

Pro then smashed down his claws once again. The bodyguard raised one of his hands to block, just to watch it get chopped off. Although he felt the pain, the other hand of the bodyguard pulled his S&W M&P handgun out from his tuxedo and aimed it at Pro.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Three bullet holes appeared on Pro's head, but Pro only felt an itch as the holes swiftly recovered. The bodyguard stared with his eyes wide opened in fear, "M-Monst-"

Bam! Pro slapped the bodyguard hard on the mouth, knocking multiple teeth flying as his jaw was dislocated. Pro then snickered evilly as he dragged the horrified bodyguard into apartment 444, leaving a trail of blood on the ground.

The door was slammed shut, followed by the sound of flesh being cut and whimpers of pain. Not long after, Pro received a system message.

[Host has absorbed the life force from the remains of a living being. Host gained 55 life points.]

[Host has absorbed the soul of the invader. System Library updated with new information.]

Glancing at the new info in the system library in addition to the 85 points he harvested from the two victims, Pro smiled as he learned that the bodyguard was actual a loyal secret guard of the mayor's family, and he knew a couple of secrets regarding the mayor's dirty doings in addition to the layout of the mayor's mansion.

"This guy was definitely worth the harvest. 50 points plus an extra 10 from his pain before death. Also, a free gun with 32 rounds of ammo plus some secret of the mayor. Maybe I can use these secrets to trade for an escape route from the city in the future ... or put it to good use in other ways," Pro nodded happily as he reloaded his new gun back to a full 10 rounds and stashed both of his guns away along with the leftover 28 rounds of ammo, "Too bad the gun ammo aren't compatible, but it's fine to have two guns."

Pro then deposited the corpse of the bodyguard in neighborhood trashcan number 442. He then swiftly swept the stains of blood away with water to make them less noticeable.

"Killing too many innocent people may attract attention, but for these loyal family bodyguards, even if they go missing, it won't attract any attention except the mayor's. According to this bodyguard's memories, the mayor's usual ways to deal with missing loyal guards are compensation or removing all traces of their existence. In conclusion, it won't matter if a guard goes missing as long as the boys are alive," Pro concluded as he finished his cleanup, "But it doesn't mean we can't play with them a bit first~"

Listening to the muffled screams and the knocking inside the locked wardrobe of the bedroom, Pro grinned evilly as he floated over to apartment 446 to watch the show that Alice has already begun to perform.
