Isekai Online's
Chapter 22 - In Vino Veritas
In Vino Veritas.
Or better known as “In Wine , there is truth” which means in the wine there is truth. The term has been around for a long time, with even the Romans using the intoxicating drink to seek the truth in their politics. Supervising politicians with words coming out of the drunken mouths of their political members was very effective at the time. They can know the covert plan behind the given budget and make wine a watchdog of honest political policy. In fact, the current use of wine continued for military purposes under the pretext of overseeing their level of loyalty.
It is not wrong if the drink that triggers drunkenness becomes one of the drinks that is suitable for all interests. With the condition of drunk, we can take some important information that is in the head of the victim without a fight. So, if there is a party using intoxicating drinks, do not expect important secrets will remain safe inside the head.
Speaking of this method, Isekai Online has one very dangerous item to extract information from. The item was located deep within the [Detective Tools Shop] feature. An urban legend that is still being discussed and debated the truth.
The item was located in a sub-menu [Detective Tools Shop] that read [Information Extraction] that focused on Information Extraction. What is interesting about this item is that its pure use is 100% relying on luck and speaking skills. Finding information and detecting the lies spoken is very difficult, it has become a common legend if the lie will trigger different body movements such as twitching eyes, looking away, scratching body parts, wrinkles in the eyebrows, eye twitching, small movements of the fingers, sudden sweating, itchy nose, or various other reactions as mentioned in “Pinocchio Effect”.
In the feature, there are items that have the same effect as “Truth Serum” or honesty serum. The item has a variety of different shapes and functions. Moreover, it did not require skill points to activate additional skills such as those used to perform the Presumptive Blood Test through the Luminol Test.
I'm reminded of the history of the development of this honesty serum. Rumor has it, honesty serum was first used in New York in 1903 to solve unique cases.
In ancient times, intoxicating drinks such as wine wine were used as a basic method of information extraction that lasted centuries, even becoming a special procedure that was always repeated. In New York, a substance called scopolamine was used to seek the confession of a police officer who killed his wife. From its history, the effect of the substance was discovered by Dr. Robert House, an obstetrician who repeatedly discovered strange information while using scopolamine on his patients.
In that era, scopolamine was used as a popular obstetric anesthetic drug to relieve pain during childbirth. Surprisingly, when patients use the drug, they enter into the phase of twilight sleep (twilight sleep) or the condition between conscious and unconscious, this condition results in the submission of personal information provided for free. At that time, the patient Dr. Robert House managed to give birth to his son and wanted to weigh the weight of the child, the husband could not find the scales in question and was still fully sedated, the wife said the location of the scales in detail and the scales were found exactly as her wife had said. Strange occurrences about information coming out of the patient's mouth make Dr. As Robert House improved, he once forced one of his patients who was drugged with scopolamine to say about the patient's life and got the answers described in detail. With the collected data created a hypothesis about “obat that can encourage honesty”.
The hypothesis continues on a test of evidence on one of the inmates. From the results of the trial, the inmate who was the subject of the trial admitted while under the influence of scopolamine, he had a strong desire to answer all questions honestly. This hypothesis justifies the fact that scopolamine has the influence to destroy the brain's reasoning power to the response of the given question.
Since scopolamine is considered effective for obtaining information, other substances are developed with the same purpose. A new anesthetic, Barbiturates containing sodium amytal and sodium pentothal, was introduced, the anesthetic was used in the 2nd world war era and became the prima donna of its own from among military doctors who served on the battlefield.
The new substance was initially used to lower anxiety, tension, and relieve the heart rate of patients traumatized during battle. The use of the new drug prompted the creation of psychoactive substances developed by the warring states to extract information from captured spy captives. The condition used is to get the subject into the hypnotic phase and instill the suggestion that honesty is easier said than saying falsehood so that the information they get has a high level of accuracy.
A very interesting story of course, because I currently have seven subjects that are suitable to test how effective the use of drugs to get sensitive information.
[Tactical Baton: Takedown, In-effect 00:03:57]
Unfortunately, they were still sound asleep due to my Tactical Baton effect.
There were still 4 minutes left before the subjects regained consciousness from their long sleep and found their current condition bound in an inverted position.
I could see the reflection of the glass mirror next to me which showed my character smiling. It seems like I was too excited about this and unintentionally smiled loosely.
This interesting thing certainly got me excited. I must admit, I was very curious about the effects of drugs like this. Why am I curious? Because in the real world, drugs like this become a blacklist that should not be spread. Of course it becomes another story here, because I can not get it, why not use the Class Detective Isekai Online feature to try it?
There are no rules about using this thing here.
Our laws are different from the laws of Isekai Online!
Or is it still the same?
Was my action illegal in the end?
Well, as long as it's not caught isn't a big deal, is it?

It turns out that there is more than one type of medicine available in Isekai Online. I guess, the Detective Class in this game is a little problematic if every NPC can be seen in their memories. If their memories are of no price and can be manipulated using drugs, a single question pops up inside my head.
Does Isekai Online have skills or magic that is able to access NPC and Player memories?
If it was an NPC, it was possible that the system would force them but what about the Player? They could have run away with forced Logout and no need to Login back to avoid it. The only way to see what the Player is doing is to access their gaming gear that keeps their game log activity.
Well, leave that aside.I'm more interested in these drugs or anesthetic fluids. With such an expensive price, it becomes increasingly clear why the Detective Class is equivalent to his Exclusive weapon if cashed in.
How much is it worth?
The information is cheap, but the tools are expensive to get. I think wine is still the best for now. It's just that, communication skills are needed to break down information through the mouth of the target.
With my finances that are not too big but still enough to buy it. I was forced to buy all the items in [Information Extraction] as much as one piece for each type. This was the first time I spent 60 Gold Coins in a single purchase, where 1 Gold Coin was already very horrendous to a Will Isaac. Pretty fantastic amount and I hope it matches what I put out.

All explanations have the same characteristics, only in different special effects.
So, basically this is just the use of drugs to help the interrogation process. The effect depends on the interrogation target itself.
How interesting!
I wanted to give it a try, but right now my test target is still not awakened from their long dream.
“Kuh! What's going on here!!”
Oh, apparently. My test subjects have woken up.
This exact time is somehow very suitable.
“Good morning, test subject ku” I said with a smile.
“K-You!!”
I could feel a strong panic reflected on his facial expression.
