Resurrection Empire

Chapter 678 255 Collapse, Interrogation, Three Major Flaws, Thanks to the Alliance Hierarch Deep Sea No. 2 for the Reward_3

The main body still considers Ren Zhong suspicious, but the lie detection tool gives a "truthful" judgment.

They suggested using torture to extract a confession.

However, the "Net" informed them that Ren Zhong possesses a revolutionary will far beyond that of an ordinary revolutionary and has no fear of death, making torture meaningless.

Not only might they fail to get any information, but it could also give him the opportunity to seek death as an escape.

The "Net" does not want Ren Zhong to die.

It believes Ren Zhong is useful to the Empire.

The three interrogators observe Ren Zhong through the lie detection mechanism, while Ren Zhong also observes them, extracting information from their words.

His first suspicion was confirmed: idioms were indeed his first critical vulnerability.

The middle-aged man paused, then said, "Skip this question. You once established a reputation as a lecher in Starfire Town, right?"

Ren Zhong: "Yes, but that was a disguise meant to lower Lin Wang and Yang Bingzhong's guard against me, whom I aimed to supplant."

"What is your real goal?"

"To establish a career."

"What kind of career?"

"To become the tenth wealth outside of the Nine Major Groups. Before achieving this goal, I don't want to be distracted by any additional affairs."

The middle-aged man: "You are lying. According to the information captured by the Net, Ju Qingmeng, Chen Hanyu, Zheng Tian, and Ma Xiaoling have not had any relations with you. You even rejected Xiao Xingyue. You seem to lack physiological functions. However, through continued observation, the 'Net' tells us that you still have physiological reactions and you are unreasonably suppressing your desires. Career and desires don't conflict. If you don't indulge in desires, how will you leave behind more offspring? Without offspring, regardless of death or freezing, who will inherit your career? If you choose freezing, during your slumber, without offspring, who will ensure the safety of your property and life? What is the meaning of your career? You're smart, you should understand this."

Ren Zhong: "I'm still young, not at the point where I need to consider…"

"You're already twenty-four, not young."

"But I consider myself young."

Behind Ren Zhong, "Truth."

The three exchanged glances, thinking in their hearts, this is insane.

Twenty-four is not young!

The middle-aged man: "What exactly are you coveting? Allowing both wilderness people and citizens to have equal rights? If it were just this, the 'Net' wouldn't mark you with an extreme danger red mark."

Confronted with such aggressive questioning, Ren Zhong remained calm and said, "I've said so much. By the way, what was the answer given by the lie detection mechanism behind me?"

The middle-aged man looked up.

"Truth."

The interrogation had to pause once again.

This group exited again.

Ren Zhong stared blankly at the empty wall opposite him.

Yet his heart was filled with many emotions.

The second critical vulnerability surfaced.

He set up a false image as a lecher but also showed a more unrealistic self-restraint that contradicts the overall atmosphere of the Source Star Society, always making choices that deviate from human nature.

Now he has accumulated a fortune in Yangsheng City that ranks among the top, incomparable to many centuries-old family dynasties.

According to the Source Star human instinct, with Ren Zhong's "advanced" age of twenty-four, his desire for heirs to inherit his wealth and expand his career should be very strong at such a time.

This is common among all Source Star people, yet he doesn't have it.

Such character traits wouldn't even exist in past "revolutionaries" of Source Star.

It might be that kind of people that Source Star doesn't even know existed, but the Net's database should have records of them, who are like this.

People with extremely firm beliefs, disregarding personal gain or loss, completely indifferent to life and death, not even caring about family legacy, holding an unrestrainable sympathy for the suffering poor, and harboring an intense desire for change and determined to fight for this cause for life, would be like this.

Ren Zhong knew very well that this might be his biggest vulnerability.

Although he doesn't know what happened, Earth has been buried in the long river of history.

But he does not doubt that the "Net" still contains those deeds in its underlying database.

He identified with those people, leading to the invalidation of the Telekinesis Master organization's highest-level authentication given by Xiao Xingyue.

Hence, he has been marked with the extreme danger red mark.

Tsk, what a good omen.

After waiting for a moment, the three returned once more.

The middle-aged man didn't sit down again but looked at him and said, "Today's interrogation is temporarily over. You can go take a rest."
