Chapter 104: New Time Travelers

Countdown 159:00:00

Prisoners were still being held in their cells.

That was because Qing Chen still had one important thing to do:

This morning, more than 30 newcomers came at the same time, and Ye Wan just finished questioning them one by one.

That was Lu Guangyi's job originally, but to avoid people knowing that Qing Chen was Li Shutong's student, Lu Guangyi was also forced to sit in a cell.

Ye Wan returned to the dining table and said, "There seem to be a lot of time walkers in this batch of newcomers. There are 37 people in total, and 5 of them couldn't answer where they were from. Two of them plan to get away with it by saying that they lived in the 7th district of City 18 and can even name all the landmarks, but when I asked about their family members, they couldn't give a direct answer."

Qing Chen sighed, "Looks like the time travelers have gotten smarter. After realizing that they got countdowns on their arms, they would quickly search up relatable information online and make up an identity for themselves to avoid being exposed."

By now, many organizations in the Inner World started investigating "time travelers", and most weren't very friendly to time travelers.

For example, those time travelers who ended up in the cities controlled by the Kamidai Family were very unlucky.

Because most of them transmigrated from the Island Nation, almost no one knew how to speak Mandarin.

Almost every time traveler in those cities was screened out and taken to a secure location.

The news had reported that this had set off a frenzy of learning Mandarin in the Island Nation. A lesson could be priced as high as 10,000 yan.

The Kashima Family had a similar situation on their land. Only the Kashima Li family speaks Korean.

The Li Family head of the Kashimas was Li Xiurui, and the Li Family head of the Central Plains (another name for China) was Li Tongyun. The two families had no relationships with each other, and Li Tongyun was in the Li Family of the Central Plains.

At this moment, the time travelers weren't very safe in both the Outer World and the Inner World.

It got to the point that every time traveler was like a spy trying to disguise themselves to avoid being found out and killed.

"What should we do with these give?" asked Ye Wan, "We can directly transfer them to the other prisons."

Qing Chen thought about it and said, "Bring them to the interrogation rooms. I have a few questions to ask them, and they might be useful later. We also live in the same city in the Outer World, so it's best if I recognize them when I meet them later."

…

The interrogation room was a gray room with alloy structures on all sides. The pale white LED lights above the head were emitting a dazzling light, creating fear in the prisoners subconsciously.

On one of the walls, there was a large single-sided mirror installed.

Qing Chen was standing calmly next door. From his side, the mirror was completely transparent, and he could see the restless time traveler inside.

However, unlike the mirrors used in the Outer World…

This one even showed the person's body temperature, heart rate, and breathing frequency. The numbers were constantly changing.

From this, the interrogator could observe the state of the prisoner at a glance.

Yu Junyi brought a time traveler into the interrogation room, and Qing Chen almost burst out laughing as he saw who the person was. The time traveler was his class representative Yu Junyi!

Through the single-sided mirror, Qing Chen asked after changing his voice with the breathing technique, "Name."

Yu Junyi answered carefully while sitting on the chair, "Yu Junyi."

"Gender."

"Male."

"What is your identity in the Outer World?"

"Officer, I'm just an ordinary student there," said Yu Junyi timidly, "A second-year high school student."

He regarded the interrogator as a prison guard, so he called the unknown person an officer. After all, he would have never imagined that prisoners could interrogate prisoners here.

Qing Chen suddenly asked, "Do know you any other time travelers around you?"

Yu Junyi replied, "Yes, there are 6, one is Nan…"

Having said that, Yu Junyi suddenly stopped talking.

"Why did you stop?" asked Qing Chen, thinking in his heart that the six Yu Junyi said should be Nan Gengchen, Liu Dezhu, Hu Xiaoniu, Wang Yun, Bai Waner, and Zhang Tianzhen.

Sure enough, in the whole world, only Nan Gengchen still believed that he was hiding well…

Yu Junyi replied, "I don't have a time walker by my side, sir."

"Are you trying to protect them, afraid that you will reveal their identities as time travelers by revealing their names?" Qing Chen asked.

Yu Junyi stopped talking. He had been thinking that.

Recently, all the news had been reporting how most time travelers wouldn't end up well when they were exposed of being from Outer World.

Therefore, he did not want to affect his classmates.

Qing Chen asked, "Aren't you afraid of being tortured? This is a prison, and killing one or two prisoners here won't make any difference."

Yu Junyi started thinking. He definitely wanted to avoid being tortured. Just thinking about it made him shiver, but he also didn't want to betray his classmates.

Suddenly, Yu Junyi asked, "So… is this Prison 18?"

Qing Chen answered, "Yes."

Yu Junyi recalled that Liu Dezhu was boasting on the bus that Li Shutong was much like a warden here, and Liu Dezhu was a popular person beside him.

At that time, another classmate also asked Liu Dezhu: Does Li Shutong know that you're a time traveler?

Liu Dezhu answered: Yes, but he didn't care.

At this moment, Yu Junyi seemed to be grabbing onto a life-saving straw and said, "Sir! I am Liu Dezhu's classmate. We're on the same side!"

Lin Xiaoxiao looked at Qing Chen as Qing Chen's expressions started to become strange…

Honestly, he did not expect this. How much must have Liu Dezhu boasted about his status to make Yu Junyi think that calling out Liu Dezhu's name alone would bring Yu Junyi out of trouble…?

Qing Chen thought about it for a moment and had a new plan.

Liu Dezhu's status in the prison was known by the outside world by his words only.

Now, Qing Chen could use this person to prove it.

He told Yu Junyi to bring Yu Junyi back to the cell and interrogated the other four time travelers.

Disappointingly, the other four were ordinary company employees and weren't much use to him.

"They might still be useful here. After I'm done with them, just transfer them to another prison," said Qing Chen to Lin Xiaoxiao.

Lin Xiaoxiao answered cheerfully, "I really want to know how these people would react after they found out that you are the one doing this to them. Now, I'm even interested to transmigrate there and seeing their face at that moment."

Qing Chen asked, "Right, how's Liu Dezhu?"

"Oh, that kid is more spineless than I thought. It only took 9 hours for him to be on the verge of going crazy." Lin Xiaoxiao answered, "I'll send him back to the confinement room he was in before."

Qing Chen was speechless for a while. If he wasn't afraid that it would bring Nan Gengchen danger, he would have definitely chosen Nan Gengchen to be his agent instead of Liu Dezhu and let Liu Dezhu sit in prison for the rest of his life.

But having thought about that, Nan Gengchen knew his identity in the Outer World so was not suitable to be his agent, because once Nan Gengchen was interrogated, he would likely be exposed.

Not that Qing Chen didn't trust Nan Gengchen, but the interrogation itself was very cruel. Very few people could withstand it.

Liu Dezhu, however, was different. Even when he was caught, he wouldn't know who was giving him the orders.
