Chapter 806: Different Origins
"Who do you think makes the laws?" The two-star man casually responded, making Joana go silent.
It was true that the two star members of the Star Alliance had a major say in the laws that were made. They could easily influence the laws as they pleased and whenever they wanted.
If this guy was really annoyed, he might actually change the rules or send Lucifer under a different captain.
Thinking of that possibility, Joana became worried.
The two star man glanced briefly at Joana. Noticing the worries on Joana's face, he smiled.
"Don't worry. I won't take him from you. I am just curious about him. Even if he is as special as the report mentions, it won't matter. He'll still need to go through proper training before he's capable enough to sit with the upper echelon."
Joana's face lit up, hearing the words. Now that this person had promised, he was sure that he was going to get Lucifer as long as nothing went horribly wrong.
The scanning of Xaen finished within ten minutes before Lucifer could be done. His data started showing on the screen.
"Yeah, he isn't anything special. His origin genes are of Human which later mutated," the two star man shook his head.
"You're right, Master Layim. We should not focus on this person. The main focus should be the second person. Since his analysis is taking so long, it means something really is special about him," the white haired man smiled. "So far, he's only done with fifty percent scanning."
Layim nodded. Folding his arms, he closed his eyes and started resting. His beautiful blue eyes closed. His dark green hair moved with the gentle winds that were flowing inside the room. It was unclear where these winds were coming from.
Time kept trickling away. Lucifer remained lying on the bed, unmoving as he looked at the roof.
He wondered how long it was going to take.
As ten more minutes passed away, a beeping sound filled the room. A voice came, telling Lucifer he could stand up and relax.
In another room, some details appeared on the screen regarding Lucifer.
Jouzi placed his hand on Layim's shoulder. "Sir, we're done with him. His scanning is finished."
Layim slowly opened his eyes, glancing at the screen.
There was a lot of data being shown on the screen, but all of the data was written in the form of symbols that only the people of the Star Alliance could understand.
"I see. So it's the truth. There's something about this person that makes him unique. Bring him to the interrogation room. I'll interrogate him personally. As for the other kid, you can interrogate him later," Layim declared as he stood.
....
Two people brought Lucifer out of his room. He was still in handcuffs as he was escorted out of the room. Through the long hallways, he was brought before a silver door.
In the entire corridor that spread for thousands of meters, there appeared to be only this one door that was near the end of it.
"Listen, kid. Someone special will be interrogating you. So make sure to be respectful." The men reminded Lucifer before they opened the door.
Lucifer was pushed inside the room. The door was closed behind him.
The sparsely lit only had one rectangular table in the middle of the room.
The table was only four meters long and two meters wide. On each end of the room, there was a chair.
The chair on the left was already filled. There was a person already sitting in the room, but because of the bad lighting conditions and the man facing the other side, Lucifer couldn't see his face.
The table was big, but it looked so small in a room that seemed unending. No matter where Lucifer looked, he couldn't see the end of the room.
He didn't take a step towards the table and kept observing the surroundings.
"Take a seat." A calm voice fell in Lucifer's ears as the man tapped the table.
Hearing the voice, Lucifer's brows raised slightly. He felt like he had heard the voice before. His feet started walking towards the table on their own as he tried to see the face of the man.
Finally, as he reached closer to the table, he was able to see the face of the man. His feet stopped.
He recognized that man right away. It was none other than the man who was about to kill him in the future he went to. The man looked completely identical.
He also had the two star symbol like before. The only difference was that he didn't have the crystal staff with him this time.
Lucifer scratched the back of his head, seemingly concerned. However, he didn't say anything. He was told that his lies could be caught in this room. He couldn't let the man feel like he knew him because if he asked, Lucifer knew he wasn't able to answer.
"You seem worried after seeing me?" Layim asked, amused. "Is it because you know what I am? Did Joana tell you about the meaning of the stars on the chest?"
"He told me about the meaning of stars." Lucifer nodded. It was a good deflection of the question, and he didn't even need to lie.
"Don't worry. I'm not here to harm you. Instead, depending on your answer, I might even reward you appropriately. So try to answer all my questions. Take a seat."
Lucifer stepped towards the table and sat in front of Layim on the other end of the table.
In a separate room, all the one star members saw what was happening in the interrogation room. They could also hear all the conversations.
"So, tell me about your world. I heard only Humans used to live there who started mutating after the appearance of some so-called monsters? Is that true?" Layim asked.
"It's true as far as I know."
"So, You were a human before you mutated? You were born to human parents?" Layim asked. "If that's true, why is your origin gene not human but made of multiple genes?"
Lucifer didn't answer.
"I'm asking you a question. But your silence makes me think that there's something more you know. Answer my question," Layim repeated.
"I wasn't born to my parents. They had adopted me. I don't know my real parents and if they were humans or not."
"I see. That makes more sense. That would explain your different origins. So you weren't born to a human. That's why you have different origins in our database."
