My Cell Prison - Chapter 265:
Chapter 265: Chapter 265 Inspection
“Council Inspector”
A high-ranking official directly appointed by the Council, granted the highest power for investigations, having the right to communicate with anyone and to review confidential documents of any organization.
A female with a shaved head in a black robe had come to the Mystery College.
At the moment, she is in the high-level meeting room of the Dark Moon Tower, conducting individual interrogations on the apprentice knights involved in this training camp.
Other than Han Dong and Mia, many sophomores and juniors were also there.
This included Jane, the Shadow Assassin who Han Dong had offended before, who customarily wore a skull mask in the Blood Knight squad led by Captain Lucius.
“This is a bit troublesome… If Jane tells the inspector about my contact with the Great Lord beforehand, she will interrogate me deeply.”
In a moment of crisis, Han Dong disguises himself as a necromantic apprentice to gain Jane’s trust and trick her.
Under the current circumstances, there’s no way Jane would take such a huge risk for Han Dong, the “villain” and lie.
Han Dong did not receive any prior notice and he cannot completely trust that Mr. Black and White has secretly handled all situations. He must prepare for the worst scenario, and come up with all sorts of explanations.
The order of interrogation was from the higher grade to the lower grade.
Jane was first in line and was the first one to leave the meeting room. The Jane who was wearing a skull mask didn’t even look at Han Dong and left the current floor directly.
The interrogations progressed faster than anticipated… Or maybe it could be said that, this inspector could understand the nature of a matter with just a few simple questions and after simple inquiries, she allowed students unrelated to the incident of the former king to leave.
“Mia Seminovich!”
“Present!”
Mia was interviewed for twice as long as the previous students.
However, when she came out from the interrogation room, she secretly gave Han Dong an ‘OK’ sign.
“Valen Nicholas.”
“Present.”
Han Dong maintained the most ordinary demeanor, and headed towards the large conference room.
The inspector with grey eyes asked Han Dong to sit opposite her.
“Briefly state your experiences during the training period; I’ll ask about the details.”
Due to Mr. Black and White’s warning, Han Dong had already prepared a series of explanations last night, and shared his experiences in the Castle District, plausible and logical as they could be.
About half of the Han Dong’s statements were true, even the killings of some high-ranking beasts were detailed. It does shock the inspector that a freshman like him could kill so many high-ranking beasts. It’s rather unusual.
“We will be comparing your statement with those of all new students and verifying them. If there is any discrepancy… you will be immediately summoned to the Council headquarters for further review.
Of course, if there are no problems, relevant points will be credited to your account.
The award ceremony for this training camp is set to take place two days from now.”
“Thank you Inspector.”
“Hold on…”
Han Dong, who was just about to leave, was suddenly stopped. His heart suddenly skipped a beat.
“To achieve such results in the freshman stage and also complete the ‘Night Watchman Task’, ‘higher-ups’ will increase their ‘attention’ towards you. I hope that you can perform even better before you become a Formal Knight.”
“Absolutely.”
As soon as he left the interrogation room, Han Dong let out a sigh of relief.
In Han Dong’s fabricated explanations, he tentatively mentioned his encounter with the Blood Knight squad inside the castle, surprising him the inspector didn’t probe further.
It thus indicates that Jane has overlooked this issue, even helped Han Dong to cover up the situation with the Great Lord.
As Han Dong was leaving the current floor with Mia, waiting for the elevator… A shadow flashed by.
Immediately pinning Han Dong against the wall.
Simultaneously, a free-moving shadow with a short dagger was being held against Mia’s neck, by gesturing her not to move rashly.
Both the person and the shadow were acting simultaneously.
The person pinning Han Dong to the wall was Jane.
“Hello Jane…” Han Dong greeted awkwardly.
“Tell Mr. Black White that, as requested, I kept your secret… Captain Lucius, and Lunze also kept your secret.”
“Thank you, Jane.”
“Dirty.. Don’t think this is over, don’t let me see you outside of school.”
“Jane, I had no choice… it was you who started the fight. Ha… Besides, everyone’s fine, right?”
Having delivered her message, Jane didn’t want to waste any more words.
She disappeared into the shadows within a blink, leaving with the descending elevator.
Mia, who had been held hostage, wasn’t furious. Instead, she asked Han Dong with interest, “Wow! Jane Mikazki… She’s the senior sister in the Shadow Doctor’s project team. She’s one of the students who understand assassination the best in our Mysterious Institute. Just like us, she came here with a high performance file… Nicholas, how did you piss her off?”
“No wonder she’s so good… In the latter stage of my plan, I accidentally ran into Jane’s team. To keep my plan on track, I just had to trick Jane.”
“You even dared to deceive a student going through the ‘Seed-breaking period’. You’re really amazing!”
“Ha, I had no choice… It seems that after meeting with me yesterday, Mr. Black White went to find the students who are related to me for chats.
As for the questioning, as long as I have no problems, everything will be kept a secret.
Mr. Black White really came through.”
Yesterday, Han Dong had felt something was amiss. There was a day of rest, but why did Mr. Black White have to see him instead of letting him go to the Stargazing Room to talk?
Now it seems that Mr. Black White has been arranging for Han Dong the whole of yesterday, to smooth out all potential leakages.
On this point, Han Dong still doesn’t know how to express his gratitude.
“Mia, I am going to the Stargazing Room… You’ve worked hard in the training camp too. See you in the award ceremony in two days.”
“Alright! I will come up with my ‘request’ for you in the two days, asking you to always stay with me.”
Han Dong, who was in the elevator, was looking at Mia. He had to admit that, although Mia has some problems with her character, from her performance in this training camp, she indeed is a reliable teammate.
Meanwhile, Han Dong also realized something else.
In the Holy City, he’s not the only genius, eccentricity, or anomaly.
In the team of six freshmen this time, the Hundred Beast bloodline of Abe and Winry’s unique constitution are both unique; they will definitely become the pillars of the Holy City in the future.
As for Dumps Martin, the secrets he hides are probably not fewer than those of Han Dong.
An announcement comes: Arrival at the Stargazing Room.
As soon as Han Dong stepped into the room, he kneeled down to show his gratitude.
However, Mr. Black White waved his hand, indicating for Han Dong to sit on the sofa opposite him. He had something to tell him.
A soft and distant voice came out from below the mask, “Passing the interrogation smoothly today, everything will slowly calm down… Captain Alex has returned to the city, and some changes will occur within the Council because of his return.
When do you plan to leave the city?”
“You even figured this out, sir? I plan…”
As Han Dong was saying this.
A burning sensation came from his left hand.
“Yellow mark” emerged.
