The sun has already hidden in the sky and the dark clouds started to bestow the world with cold and freezing rain, allowing the Night Rage to be postponed for the night. And since no undead attacks during the rain except on that slime-covered undead that no longer exists after the extermination of the behemoth, the situation is quite lax and many who are not under a mission or any tasks right now has decided to do some relaxation and some decided to do some of their hobbies that they have not been properly done during these past few days.

As for me, I decided to check around the base for anyone new and suspicious people that I have yet to see at all. It was like a census thingie and it is working at least a little bit as I have already spotted at least two new people who are all strangers and have already done infiltrate the groups without raising any suspicion with all the people around the base walking around.

They may be able to trick others but I am not that easily fooled and I don’t easily forget faces whenever I see one. With all the soldiers in the SDF group already part of my acquaintance circle and if I saw someone who is a stranger, they will stand out like a sore thumb.

After listing some of the suspicious people, I decided to ask Nanami for help with the surveillance cameras to check the behaviors and their routine in the base.

However, when I arrived there, I didn’t see Nanami but another man who seems like an SDF. He was fairly young and I think he is a bit older than me with a gap of 4 years. He was shocked when he saw me enter the place.

”Who are you? What do you think you are doing?!”

”Tch,” the guy clicked his tongue before he closed the laptop and throw a flying dagger into my direction.

I was quick on reacting to it, allowing me to dodge it without a problem. The guy seemed to have expected it so he wh.i.p.s out a gun. However, that doesn’t mean I also don’t come in prepared and fired a taser gun I prepared in case of a fight.

Bzzzzt!

The guy didn’t expect me to pull out a taser and he failed to dodge the quick current of the taser, sending several voltages of electricity to his body. Once the duration of the electric shock ended, he fell to the ground shaking and stunned, allowing me to seize his firearm and tie him up.

He collapsed and loses consciousness after the sudden shock which allowed me to check out what this guy is carrying in his vests and a little bag behind him.

First, I found five USB flash drives on his pockets with a cord of OTG or a USB on-the-go attached to a small phone. He also has a few bullets for his gun and a taser but a close-ranged one, unlike mine that can be fired in a near distance.

There are no more items left in his pockets but I have seen some interesting things on his backpack. I took a sneak peek and I think this one is a thin laptop you can use anywhere you go without being burdened to carry it.

Seeing this much suspicious loot, I decided to check and capture this guy. It looks like I was right, spies have already infiltrated the base and are already gathering info on us so that this particular info can be used as some sort of bragging rights or some sort of bargaining chip they can use against us.

After checking his things, I took out a rope in the materials of Nanami and used it to tightly tie him up. I put triple binds on his body to make sure he won’t be able to move and do anything funny. It doesn’t hurt to be doing too much. It can save you in a pinch if you do this properly.

Once it was done, I notice the blinking lights coming from the side of Nanami’s laptop. Looking at it a little bit closer, I noticed that it was a USB flash drive attached to her laptop. Most of Nanami’s laptop doesn’t glow or blink like this because it will be terrible to use one while secretly copying some info and it will be troublesome to be seen due to that blinking lights.

Opening Nanami’s laptop, I saw that it was doing some file copying operation from this laptop to the Flash drive. I frowned and checked out what was being copied and saw that most of the copied items are the pieces of information we gathered these past months including the Project Eve and the Virus Galea’s origin. Even the list of the variants that we met so far is also being copied along.

There are some items he hasn’t copied yet and was just mass selecting them to be copied. I am not a tech geek but I can at least know how to operate things properly and do some of the basic functions on a laptop. I terminated the copy task and decided to open the drive to delete the copied contents. However, I frowned seeing that I need to do some encryption to open up the goddamn folders and delete its files. This must be for the sake of it was lost and someone wanted to check in inside. Now, this needs someone who knows their stuff.

As for this guy, much I wanted to end his life as soon as possible to make sure he won’t be reporting things to the one who sent him to infiltrate the base, I needed information, and I am not just going to let it go. Before that, I needed someone who knows how to torture someone and spill the beans more easily since the method that I know only gets them awake for a short time before they drift to the dreamland again the moment I use it.

”Huh? A torture method to cause someone to spill things you wanted to know? Why do you want to do that?” 

The guy that I asked it with is none other than my uncle and Kato’s stepfather, Uncle Matsubara.

”As one of the elite in his prime, I bet you know some tricks on your sleeve to do that.”

”I do know a few of them that will cause the person to spill out information but it has a risk of someone dying if it was used excessively. You still want to perform it?”

”Yep. Someone needed to be interrogated and I wanted this guy to spill some info I needed to know.”

”Is it someone I know? Because if it is an acquaintance and you don’t have any proper reason why you needed to do so, then I will not perform it.”

”You don’t need to worry about that. It is someone who sneaks up in this base and thought he will be able to get out with valuable info from us.”

”A spy?”

”Something like that but I think this guy is more like a hacker and a trespasser than a spy. One of the spies are already being interrogated by Miyuki and the others so I don’t think I needed to do much.”

”Looks like things are much serious. I am not aware of this one,” Uncle Matsubara scratches his chin.

”It is just a recent one. I just found out this today and if I didn’t caught them in the act, I would not know anything at all about their various activities.”

”Then bring me to the guy. I know a place where I can let him spill the beans.”

”Can I see the process of you doing it?”

”Are you sure? This might get bloody if it gets out of hand and if the person being tortured is a tough nut to crack.”

”I am used to bloody stuff like seeing guts and fresh meat being tossed around. There is no need to worry about it.”

”Good. Bring him to me.”

I nodded and led my uncle to the control room where I tied him up. He looks into the unconscious guy and looked at me.

”Did you beat up this guy for him to knock out unconscious? This guy will not wake for a few hours unless we let him inhale some smelling salts.”

”I am not that savage, I just used a taser gun to stun him. I didn’t expect it to be so effective.”

”This place is a little too crampy. Let’s carry him somewhere where we can allow the place to get bloody. That girl who uses this room will yell at me if I ruin this place. You will get your answers later once he wakes up but expect it to be bloody!”
