[Materialist Soul (Anomalous – Bright Red – Cannot Upgrade): …]

[Wearing Effect: …]

[Advancement Path: …]

[Hidden Attributes: Badge Slot +3, Current Slot Count: 6, Total Anomalous Items Required to Unlock Next Slot: 8]

[Your Taint Value has Increased]

[Current Taint Value: 2.8]

…

There really was an extra slot, but the number of anomalous items needed for the next one suddenly jumped from four to eight…

Leon couldn’t help but sigh slightly as he looked at the explanation popping up on the badge interface.

Including the “Friendly Exchange” obtained 【Infected Blood Band】, he currently had a total of 4 anomalous items: Sheep Head, Broom, Pendant, and Bandage, which was still far from the next “Slot Opening”.

And the puppy sleeping soundly on the sheep’s head also had its own anomalous item interface, but wasn’t counted in, probably because it was alive and didn’t count as an anomalous “item”, or because it was still a minor dog, no official employment for child labor.

Hmm… The latter seems more likely.

After petting the puppy with excellent fur texture, Leon watched it flip over and continue sleeping soundly, even snoring softly. He couldn’t help but chuckle lightly, then gave a slight nod to the female prisoner glaring angrily at him.

“Thanks.”

“…”

Thanks my ass!!! Seeing Leon politely nodding his head in gratitude, the female prisoner who had her bandage “forcibly taken away” wanted to curse him out, but was worried about angering him and harming her comrade who had barely infiltrated the Secret Investigation Bureau, so she chose to grit her teeth and turn her head away.

Demon!

This damn guy looks harmless normally, but once he drops the disguise, he’s a heart manipulator demon! When I get out, I’ll definitely tell everyone not to be deceived by his appearance; this Clearing Bureau guy is ten times more dangerous than he looks!”By the way, before I leave, I have a few questions for you.”

Looking at the half-resentful, half-fearful soul of the female prisoner, Leon hesitated for a moment before finally asked:

“If you successfully escape from here, do you plan to continue being a rebel?”

“???”

What does that mean? What does he mean by asking this question! Watching the female prisoner whose eyes suddenly froze, though she didn’t say a word, her entire soul began to churn, Leon shook his head: “Although you seem normal, souls don’t lie.

Your soul contains various emotions, except for fear of death. But when I pointed out that you had an informant inside the Secret Investigation Bureau, your fear of death suddenly flared up.

So I think the informant inside the Secret Investigation Bureau must have promised to save you. Also, whether he gets exposed directly decides if you can be saved, which is why you’d rather give me the bandage to make me shut up, right?”

“…”

Facing Leon who uncovered all her secrets in less than five minutes, the female prisoner felt a chill in her heart and fell into deep despair.

“Yes! All correct!!!”

Realizing lying was meaningless in front of this “devil” who could see through hearts, the female prisoner decided to go all out, glaring at him and grinding her teeth: “Bobby Lane may be dead, but my husband’s revenge isn’t finished! It wasn’t just the fat-headed nobles of the Lane family who killed him, but this kingdom that’s rotten to the core!

Since the revenge isn’t over, if I can escape, I will definitely continue being a rebel! And I’ll keep doing it until I die!”

“Alright, I understand.”

Looking at the extremely “sincere” soul of the female prisoner, Leon shook his head again and said apologetically:

“Sorry, after I leave, I’ll immediately catch that spy.”

“You?!?”

Hearing Leon’s words, the female prisoner couldn’t help but shout in anger:

“You just took my stuff! Damn it! You tricked me?”

“This… I never promised not to catch him, I only promised to keep quiet. As our director says, one thing is one thing.”

“I’m sorry, if you were just attacking important officials, I might not necessarily do this, but every time you launch an attack, many ordinary people are affected, I can’t ignore it.

Moreover, both you and the director of the Secret Investigation Bureau have shown great interest in me, he even harbors a lot of hostility towards me.

Considering the style of your rebels, there’s a possibility they might harm my family, so I must prepare in advance.

By the way, just in case, I need to confirm again, is the director with the scar on his face the spy you infiltrated into the Secret Investigation Bureau?”

“I don’t know!”

Hearing Leon’s question, knowing he was about to start another “mind reading performance,” the female prisoner struggled desperately, trying to knock herself unconscious.

Unfortunately, as a major offender in the assassination attempt on the princess, she was tightly shackled to the chair and couldn’t move much, only making the cuffs squeak loudly.

“Looks like I guessed right.”

Using the soul vision, Leon directly obtained the answer to the question, and continued to ask while the female prisoner glared at him furiously:

All content is available on 69 Book Bar!

“The next question, does he have an anomalous item?”

“I don’t know!!”

“Surprisingly, he has an anomalous item… Is he weaker or stronger than you?”

“I don’t know!!!”

“Is he a little stronger than you? Do you know what his ability is?”

“…”

Is this real ignorance? After asking several other questions from different angles and finding no more information, Leon sighed and stood up.

“Thank you for your cooperation, goodbye.”

“You… you’re despicable! You’re shameless!”

Seeing Leon who tricked her and shamelessly took the usage rights of the bandage, the female prisoner couldn’t help but struggle violently and scream hysterically: “Stop pretending to be good! You’re just stronger than me! Would you dare touch those truly powerful ones? You son of a bitch, if you really think you’re a good person, then go kill all those bastards! Son of a bitch! I feel sick looking at someone like you! You son of a bitch is just a hypocritical bastard!”

“…”

Hearing the foul-mouthed curses from the female prisoner, Leon stopped as he was about to leave the interrogation room, thought for a moment, then nodded:

“You’re right.”

“???”

In her somewhat stunned expression, Leon sighed again and directly admitted:

“And not only am I hypocritical, I’m also cowardly, seeing many things I dislike, but lacking the courage to abandon everything and take action to change them completely;

I’m not only cowardly, but also awkward, knowing I can’t handle many things, but unable to completely ignore them, always wanting to interfere when I encounter them; Not only am I awkward, but also rash, knowing that taking action will cause trouble and put myself in danger, but I often can’t resist…”

“I am indeed quite a failure as a person, sometimes I even hate myself.”

“…”

Faced with Leon’s unusually sincere self-analysis, hearing an even harsher self-evaluation than her own, the female prisoner was completely stunned.

“So… So you…”

“I’m just an ordinary person, so I only do what I can, as for the rest…”

Looking at the shining badges on the panel, Leon’s right hand unconsciously clenched tightly, his eyes showing a faint determination that wasn’t entirely pure.

It depends on how high I can climb in the end!(End of Chapter)
