His hair turned white overnight, leaving Yu An dumbfounded.
He had read online that someone said that when a person is extremely sad, their hair can turn white overnight.
But this was the first time he had ever seen it.
Lin Nan's usually smooth and witty tone was now completely hoarse.
“He was very stubborn. We interrogated him all night, using every trick in the book, but he still didn’t utter a single word.”
Lin Nan spoke, his voice filled with exhaustion.
He used every method of torture on this mutant.
The aberrations have a strong self-healing ability, but they are not immune to pain.
He was in pain all night, but refused to say anything.
He just kept repeating that all humans deserve to die.
Xie Chiyuan frowned when he saw that they had interrogated him all night without getting anything out of him.
"What tricks are you using?"
In special circumstances, they may use a little force against their interrogators.
Lin Nan recounted all the tricks they had used.
After he finished speaking, the mutant behind him spat out another mouthful of blood.
After vomiting blood, the mutant, who had been tormented all night, laughed out loud at them.
"What other methods do you have at your disposal?"
"Hahaha, you think you can make me confess after what you've done to me?! Don't even dream about it!"
"Don't you humans know how aberrations are created and how they are used after they are created?"
"The torment I have experienced is a hundred or a thousand times more painful than what I suffered last night."
"If you're so capable, then keep interrogating me! I want to see what you can get out of me!"
As soon as the mutant uttered those words, Lin Nan's heart sank, and the expressions of everyone present also changed slightly.
They all knew very well that the aberration was right.
Aberrations have never held a higher status, and have never even achieved equality with humans.
The darkness they experienced was nothing compared to the darkness of last night…
Not comparable.
Wen Rong leaned against a pillar, the blood on her suit already dried.
He looked up at Xie Chiyuan and Zhai Man: "Don't you have any ideas?"
He seemed much calmer now, but this calmness was more like he was forcibly suppressing his emotions.
Yu An subconsciously looked at Xie Chiyuan and Zhai Man.
Under the watchful eyes of many, the two nodded simultaneously.
"We can give it a try."
This mutant dared to kill such important people in both the North and South districts today; who knows, he might kill people in other districts next time.
They won't feel at ease until this hidden danger is resolved.
"You guys go and rest, don't keep pushing yourselves like this."
Zhai Man gently advised them, "If you ruin your health, there will be many more things to deal with later, and you probably won't have the energy to handle them."
"I checked, there are surveillance cameras here. Xie Chiyuan and I will interrogate him under the surveillance. You can check the footage after you've rested."
Xie Chiyuan is not good at comforting people. He can only comfort his own An'an, and he is at a loss for words when it comes to comforting others.
Therefore, when Zhai Man was comforting people, he just echoed her from the sidelines.
A moment later.
At the urging of their subordinates, Lin Nan and Wen Rong went to rest.
Yu An wanted to stay here and watch.
Xie Chiyuan rubbed his head but didn't agree.
"Go check on the babies and see if they're sleeping well."
Xie Chiyuan wanted to get Yu An away, and Yu An knew his intention.
The two men stared at each other, but Xie Chiyuan showed no sign of backing down.
Yu An: "..."
It's just examining a mutant, what can't he see?
"Be good, listen to me."
In front of Zhai Man, Xie Chiyuan kissed his forehead and softened his voice to coax him: "I promise I'll resolve this soon. You stay with the kids and wait for me to come find you."
"Alright."
Realizing that Xie Chiyuan wouldn't be taking her with him, Yu An had no choice but to leave.
He went to see the babies as Xie Chiyuan had instructed.
The eldest son's room was tightly closed. Yu An hesitated for a moment and did not knock.
The little fox was sleeping with his belly exposed. After opening the door, Yu An touched his belly without waking him up.
Wu Zai and Qiu Qiu are in the same room. Wu Zai is already awake, but Qiu Qiu is still sleeping.
Yu An lowered his voice and inquired about Qiu Qiu's condition.
Did you cry yesterday?
When did you go to sleep?
"I didn't cry."
Fifth Brother lowered his voice as well, answering his elder brother's question: "I wasn't feeling well, so I went to bed a little late. I didn't fall asleep until after midnight."
The little spider was also in the room, but with the five spiderlings there, he was relegated to a corner to spin his web.
Bazai and Qiuqiu were lying on the same bed, and his sleeping posture was the most bizarre among the children.
Right now, he's hugging Chiu Chiu's feet and fast asleep.
After several failed attempts to correct him, Wu Zai simply turned a blind eye.
Anyway, Chiu Chiu kicks people occasionally, so it's not bad to kick him a few times when he's sound asleep.
Listening to Wu Zai's words, Yu An sat down next to Qiu Qiu and reached out to touch Qiu Qiu's face.
It's warm, not hot.
"Keep a close eye on Qiuqiu. Last night's events were too bloody. I'm afraid they might upset him."
Chiu Chiu had experienced something similarly bloody before, and Yu An was afraid that this would upset him.
Wu Zai nodded. He could take good care of Qiu Qiu without his older brother's instructions.
After staying in Chirp Chirp's room for a while, Yu An went to see the next baby.
Sixth Brother has a strong mental fortitude and doesn't need any guidance from his older brother.
With Tan Zhan in charge, Qi Zai stopped at the door and didn't go in.
Xiao Jiu buried itself in the soil and grew freely overnight.
As Xie Chiyuan said, the children don't need any reassurance.
Yu An wandered around for a while, but eventually returned to the room he shared with Xie Chiyuan.
Xie Chiyuan probably won't be able to come out anytime soon.
Yu An lay on the bed and turned on his phone. He belatedly realized that yesterday's wedding had been live-streamed.
The bride's murder in the hallway also appears to be captured on camera.
Thinking about all this, Yu An's mood became noticeably heavier as she went online.
He randomly opened a platform, and it was flooded with news about weddings.
[This is terrifying! Click to watch the wedding scene in the North District.]
Help! I haven't slept a wink all night!
What exactly is going on? The North District hasn't even issued a statement yet.
All sorts of headlines were discussing what happened last night.
Yu An clicked on the most popular headline.
There are already over 100,000 comments under the title.
At the top of the comments section are messages from netizens in various regions.
"Anyone who watched the whole thing live must have had a heart attack from fear! The assassin was a mutant; he used superpowers. The bride and the child had no time or ability to resist!"
"I was so suffocated watching this. A perfectly good wedding suddenly turned into this. The boss of the North District is really pitiful. He lost his wife and his younger brother all at once."
"Um, am I the only one who thinks humans are far too weak compared to the mutants? [Cracks] [Cracks] [Cracks]"
"Even the lady of the North District and the daughter of the South District boss were killed by the mutants without a chance to fight back. If we ordinary people encounter mutants, wouldn't we die even more easily than them?"
"They've already started to fear freaks out at the mutants."
"Terrorist variant +1!"
The comments section started to steer the narrative towards fear of the aberration.
Yu An frowned, exited the headline, and clicked on another news item.
There were tens of thousands of comments under that news article.
"Help! Help! Help! The mutants are terrifying! I really don't want to live in the same world as them!"
"After watching the video, I felt extremely insecure. The mutants could kill us humans with ease, and we have no way to deal with them."
