“We won’t be able to find out anything from people who are too firm or too weak. The best candidates will be the twenty people that I selected this time. Some of them will surely have something to say,” Ste said as she looked at the time.
“So, are you going to stay upte today?” Sheldon asked.
If Ste were to stay upte, that meant that he also had to stay upte.
“That may not be necessary. If we are lucky, someone might tell us the answer we need very quickly,” Ste said with a smile. She was very calm.
She went to the office instead of the interrogation room. She asked someone to install a pinhole camera, then yed some soft music in the background.
“Call Yohan Smith in,” Ste said.
Those in the monitoring room could hear her.
Yohan came in soon after andlooked around uneasily.When he realized that there were only Ste and no police officers in the room, coupled with the rxing atmosphere, he said, “Don’t ask me anything about the Whiterobe Sect.I won’t say anything.”
Ste smiled. Saying that right away just showed that he wanted to strengthen his determination. However, if his determination had been strong enough in the first ce, there was no need to strengthen it.
“Rx, you may choose what you want to say and what you don’t want to say,” Ste said with a smile.
Yohan sat down on the couch and ced his hands on his knees. He lowered his head and blinked his eyes.
“Do you know what song I’m ying now?” Ste asked.
“Goodbye Maria,” Yohan said immediately.
“It’s a very good song. I feel very calmafter listening to it. I read your file and learned that you like this song very much. Listening to it now, it really is a beautiful song,” Ste said.
Yohan lowered his head again.
Ste sat across him and said, “You’re very good at the piano.It’s difficult to get into the school you’re in right now. I heard that youpletely relied on yourself. That’s a really amazing feat. Were you self-taught?”
“No, I started ying the piano when I was three years old,” Yohan said.
“When I was three years old, let me think, I think I was still ying with mud. Have you ever thought about being arrested?” Ste asked.
Yohan’s body trembled as he lowered his head in fear.
“If your school learns about this matter, you may be expelled,”Ste said.
Yohan tightened his grip on his shirt as he mumbled something that Ste couldn’t understand.
Ste smiled, turned around, and made a cup of coffee. Then, she handed it to him.
Yohan stopped talking and looked at the coffee in Ste’s hands.
“Drink a little, and you will feel better. If you are released today, there will be no charges made against you. I also promise that your school will not find out about this matter. The right to decide your future will always be in your hands,” Ste said softly.
“I won’t say anything,” Yohan said again.
Ste held her right cheek and looked at Yohan.“You must be very happy in the Whiterobe Sect, huh?”
“Of course,” Yohan replied.
“Why?” Ste asked.
Yohan didn’t say anything.
“Only by helping me understand the Whiterobe Sect, will I be able to help you guys. Don’t you want one more person to understand the Whiterobe Sect?” Ste said softly, looking extremely harmless.
Yohan looked at Ste.
Ste smiled slightly.
Yohan clenched his hands into tight fists and said with anger, “Have you been looked down on before? Have you been bullied or hated before?”
Ste nodded.“I was an orphan when I was a child. I didn’t have money to go to school because of that.I was working while other people were having fun. I was often hated and looked down on.”
“The Whiterobe Sect can help you,” Yohan said firmly.
“How?” Ste asked.
“They will help you bully those people who bullied you. After joining the Whiterobe Sect, I became strong, and no one can bully me or look down on me anymore,” Yohan pursed his lips and said with hatred.
“Then, how do I join?”
“Do you really want to join the sect? You’re in a good ce now. No, you’re just trying to get me to tell you something,” Yohan stood up anxiously and continued, “I’m not going to say anything.”
“Bet, was it you who rmend him to join the Whiterobe Sect?” Ste asked.
With his lips pressed into a tight line, Yohan raised his chin and looked up to the sky, looking as though he could do nothing but watch as everything unfolded.
“Let’s listen to the song first,” Ste said softly. She closed her eyes, leaned back against the sofa, and tapped the wooden frame next to the sofa with her fingers gently.
The song continued ying.
A look of relief formed on Yohan’s face as he listened to the song. Then, he sat down on the couch again.
“I don’t think that Yohan will say anything. Ste is wasting her time on him. I think that she should let someone else in,” Hogward said.
The door was pushed open and Jasper came into the monitoring room. He looked at Ste on the screen and said in a low voice, “Yohan has been hypnotized.”
“Is this Ste’s legendary hypnosis?” Ray stared at the screen, looking at every expression on Ste’s face, but Ste merely closed her eyes. He asked, “How did she hypnotize him?”
Once the song finished ying, it repeated.
Ste still did not open her eyes, and she said softly, “Yohan, this time, the Whiterobe Sect has killed people, used weapons illegally, and have been arrested. Do you think that it will be over for the Whiterobe Sect?”
“I don’t know, the Whiterobe Sect is very powerful, so how could it be over for them?” Yohan said as he stared at Ste with fear.
“They may be powerful, but how many members do they have? No matter how strong they are, isn’t your leader still locked up in prison? What do you think will happen if the news of you joining the Whiterobe Sect is known by the school?” Ste asked again,her eyes fluttered open.
“Didn’t you just say that you are going to let me go?” Yohan asked.
“There are twenty people who want to leave, but I’m only able to release five. I gave you the opportunity in advance. Yohan, please tell me, what will happen if the school learns about this?” Ste’s tone became serious.
“I will be expelled. Those who I have beaten will beat me. Without the Whiterobe Sect, I have nothing,” Yohan said as he held his head.
“On the contrary, it’s the Whiterobe Sect that has caused you to have nothing. You lost your self-confidence, your sense of self. You asked me if I’ve been looked down uponor bullied in the past. Yeah, I was bullied, but it doesn’t matter as it only made me stronger. One day, I will not be bullied by others anymore. As for you, in addition to being bullied by the people in school,you will also be bullied by the members of the Whiterobe Sect. Bet is the best example of this,” Ste said.
“No, it’s not like that. The Whiterobe Sect has helped me to not be bullied by others,” Yohan denied.
“Bet was just bullied by his foster mother, but now he has been forced to jump off the ship by the Whiterobe Sect. Your friend is dead. Do you think that the Whiterobe Sect is helping you? No, they only want to destroy you and make you an even more hateful demon than those who bullied you. They want to harm you, your friends, and people who could’ve been your friends,” Ste exined.
“I’m sorry, Bet,” Yohan said guiltily as he hugged his head tightly.“I’m so sorry.”
“Tell me, Yohan, who is your leader? How many harmful things has he told you to do?” Ste urged.
“I am afraid that the Whiterobe Sect will force me to my own death like what they did with Bet,” Yohan said in a trance.This content ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.
Ste raised a smile and said, “The Whiterobe Sect is over. From today onwards, there will be no more Whiterobe Sect. Yohan, do what you think you should do.Do you want to help Bet?He is watching over you from heaven.”
“Alright, I’ll tell you…” Yohan said.
The monitoring room was in an uproar again.
Jasper looked deeply at Ste, who was stered on the screen. At that moment, he also had a devil in his heart. That devil was his obsession…
