The interrogation continued.
After seeing the first man spilling the beans, the other two’s jaws loosened too. They blurted out everything they thought Baiyi wanted to hear. How they were introduced into the sect through an anonymous man, as well as the benefits of being a low-rank member of the sect, and then lastly, how they were trained into half-baked 'Shadow assassins'.
Only the last man was still stubbornly tight-lipped. His eyes reflected pupils that were dilated by both fear and rage as he glared at Baiyi. Seeing his companions confessing, he shrieked in fury, "You fucking traitors! Master Butler won’t let any of you go! Not even your family!"
The last cry seemed to have pierced through their minds, forcing them to remember what was at stake. Baiyi was about to ask them about the purpose of their assassination but the resulting fear had crushed any last semblance of cooperation.
The captives were completely paralyzed by the name of the Butler guy.
Ohhhh gosh this is sooooo exciting! A cult! I love fictional cults! Like the one in Silent Hill, and Fatal Frame 2, and Siren 2. Those are all pretty solid crazy stuffs! Fictional cults are usually pretty great additions, unless they were used for cheap thrills and shallow story-building. But still, at least they are always entertaining!
Plus! Could it be that Baiyi might have met his match? He was constantly caught off guard, and was very alarmed, although after following his adventures for a while, I think he might just quickly shift his initial surprise back into his “meh I know this setting already” attitude—Sasuke-Uchihaly. But still! Who is this Master Butler guy? Is he Sebastian Michaelis? Is the center of the cult a 12-year-old boy or could it be someone we already know? Will Baiyi and the Walkers align themselves with this cult, or even take control of their leadership?
Lucky you, the next chapter is already published here! Read on!
