Chapter 33: Interrogation

Sunz: Why are there so many people here?

Jun: Sogae can you check to see if his body is safe enough to interact with?

Sogae nodded at Jun's question and glare at Sunz for a second and report back to her "He is fine now! The spirit isn't haunting him anymore."

Jun: That's good to hear, for now, you go and take care of that kid's wounds (Yama) and the facility for me. I need to take care of this mess immediately.

Sogae "Sure! But after that, it's my turn to interrogate him." Then she tells Yama to follow her to do a thorough checkup of his body.

Yama doesn't ask any question and just do what Sogae tell him to. He was still shocked of what was happening from before!

Sogae and Yama leave Jun and Sunz inside the room together. On their way out Yama asks Sogae about Sunz "Is it ok to leave him alone with her? Miss Jun was emitting an ominous aura right after entering the room, which kinda scare me."

Sogae nervously laughs: Well she is the type that loves mystery. When she encounters something unknown her bad side starts showing. A fun fact about her is, her love for mystery leads her to become a cop.

Yama: I see. I hope that Sunz is ok!

Sogae (I hope so too, and I also wish that was the only reason why Jun decided to become a cop.)

(Jun become a cop because it gives her the authority to enter places that no one has entered before and with high rank she is allowed to enter any crime scenes that are happening at that moment.)

Back to Sunz and Jun

Jun: Are you feeling ok now?

Sunz: I guess so. My body still feels pretty normal. Maybe just confused about what was going on.

Sunz looks around the room and sees that there are drops of blood on the floor. Immediately he takes a look at his hand and sighs in relief (So the wound doesn't carry out in the real world. But whose blood is that?).

Jun after seeing Sunz's reaction. She immediately knows what is on his mind at that moment.

Jun: You have been fixated on your hand for a while now, is there something bothering you?

Sunz: Oh it's just the blood on the floor makes me wonder did I somehow bleed while meditating. I did feel a sharp pain in my hand so I guess it could be my blood on the floor.

Jun: That blood is not actually yours, it was Yama's blood.

Sunz is very surprised: How did that happen?

Jun (So he doesn't know what was happening outside of his mind.): How can explain this… You were possessed by a spirit but not in a bad way like trying to take over your body. It was protecting you from being interrupted.

Sunz (So that was what happened outside of my mind. But how did Jun and Sogae know about this.): Wait! How did you and Sogae know about the situation inside this room?

Some detail just suddenly click in Jun's mind

(He is right how did Sogae know about this? When she appeared out of nowhere, I thought that she overheard it from somewhere. But now looking back, when she appeared, she looked fine like always but her energy level was very low. And I just brush it off as she was overworking herself again.)

(But Sogae's energy level has never been that low before…) and Jun thought was being cut off by Sunz "Miss Jun are you ok? You just space off for a moment there."

Jun responds to Sunz "Oh just remember something from work that I need to do later." (I need to talk with Sogae later!)

Jun: Let's get back to how did I learn about your situation.

I was working at the counter when I saw your friend running out of the hallway covered in cuts and blood. Which scared a lot of people that were training. I then proceeded to pull out my sword and stab him because that is how my clan healing work. It did shock a lot of people that aren't part of the clan tho.

Your friend, he was still shocked of everything that had happened. But he calm down pretty fast I'll say. He then explain to me the situation was that you were not responding to him at all and you had set up a defense barrier which explain his cut and bleeding.

While walking to your private training room the hallways has many drops of blood, which I had to clean later. But that kid was right, you were emitting a dangerous aura that prevented people from coming near you.

I know that you aren't that strong but the aura strength is way stronger than you by a lot. Despite that, I was still able to push you back into the corner, still takes some cut tho. After that, I heard a loud running from outside and it was Sogae.

I don't know how did she know about the situation but she was able to assess the situation and see that your body was possessed by a spirit or protected by that spirit. Then you wake up after 5-10 minutes later.

That was what happened when you were meditating! Was that too much information for you?

Sunz: I think I get a grip of what was going on. Thank you for helping Yama! But what I'm feeling right now is you still want some answers out of me right?

Jun answer Sunz in a surprised tone: What makes you think that you have valuable information for me?

Sunz: I don't know just guessing. From what you just told me it feels like the clan has information about what just happened.

Jun: You're right I'm a bit curious about your situation! So I hope you don't mind answering some questions.

Sunz: I'll answer to the best of my ability.

Jun: Good! One of the details that I didn't tell you, was that your hand was cut by the spirit, and a moment ago you just check your hand when asking about the blood on the floor. So I guess that what was happening in your mind also happened in real life.

"But that is not my question. My question is what was happening in your mind!"

Sunz: I was seeing someone past. I don't know why it happened to me but it was about the person mourning.

Jun: Are there any specific details about this person that you remember?

Sunz: The person was a girl that wear purple clothes and she tried to kill herself by slicing her hand. That is all I can tell you!

Jun (Lady in purple! What does she want to do with him?): If you don't want to then I won't force any information out of you. For now, I suggest you take a day off and train tomorrow.

Sunz: Yeah I was thinking the same thing. So do you have any other questions that I need to answer?

Jun: No further questions. You're free to leave.

Sunz: Thank you.

Then from outside the hallway Sogae rush into the room and said "WHAT ABOUT ME! You agree that I can interrogate him after you!"

Jun(Oh yeah I did said that…):Umm… You can do that while escorting him back to his room.

Sogae: Fine! Also, I clean up all of the blood around the hallway, done checking up on that kid, and sent him back to his room.

Jun: Thank you. Now please takes Sunz back to his room.

Sogae: Ok! Sunz let's go!

Sunz: Right behind you.

Sunz grabs everything that he brings to that room. His sword, the water bottle then follow Sogae to the elevator.

After Sunz and Sogae leave, Jun said to herself "Something interesting finally happened and now I'm back to babysitting duty. But at least I have something interesting to discuss with the clan tonight."

Back to Sunz and Sogae.

Sogae: So rough day isn't it?

Sunz: Yeah I guess so… Did you drug the water bottle you gave me?

Sogae: What are you talking about? If I ever touch that thing Jun is going to kill me before I get to do anything with it.

Sunz show Sogae the water bottle she gave him that morning: Well this is the second time you give me this and every time I drink it my body feels energized.

Sogae: Hmm how can I explain this…The water that I gave you has a bit of my essence in it…

Sunz: Wait should I be concerned about this "Essence" and is it what I think it would be?

Sogae: No no it's not what you think it is. It is very innocent not that anime thing you're thinking of.

Sunz: I'll take your word for it. But why did you rush down to the training facility at that moment?

Sogae: Well…You were the only person that I gave the water bottle to so it came to my mind that you were draining my energy.

Sunz: You know that the way you're phrasing it sounded very weird.

The elevator door opens to the floor that Sunz's room is on. Sunz leaves the elevator then Sogae tells him one last thing.

Sogae: I'll teach you how to do it. So don't think that lewd of me ok!

Sunz: Fine I'll trust your word for it. And you don't really have to teach me.

Sogae smile: That is not an offer that is a must. See you next time!

Sunz: Yeah, see you…

The elevator close and Sunz go back to his room.
