行者道：「你可知大王點我出來之故？」
行者道：「你可知大王点我出来之故？」
Pilgrim said, "Do you know why the king has picked me out and sent me?"
點我出來 is to pick a man out by name from a list — the same 點 as in the roll call. Pilgrim is speaking the organisation's own language back to it.
小妖道：「不知。」
小妖道：「不知。」
The little demons said, "We do not."
Five characters. They do not know, and they are about to be told, and the telling is entirely invention.
Pilgrim opens with a question he already knows the answer to, which is how an interrogation is made to feel like a briefing.
The phrase he uses is administrative to its bones — picked out and sent, the verb for selecting a name off a register. He has now used the roll call, the shift system, the tally and the promotion, all correctly, against an organisation he entered forty minutes ago.
