Chapter 26 Extorting Confessions by Torture
The assassin didn't open his mouth, maybe it was his training that made him persevere, or maybe he gritted his teeth because he believed that he could really last until the last moment.However, when those unheard-of tortures came upon him, he began to question what he was holding on to. Why did he go through all this in vain just to hold on to something he was about to say in the next second?
Neither Mei Wu nor Yan Guichou followed.
Meiwu didn't want to see with her own eyes the tragic scene of her fellow clan being interrogated. Out of instinct, she seemed to be able to imagine Yan Haoling's methods.The reason why Yan Guichou didn't come is unknown, but he just said that he was tired and wanted to sleep, and he didn't care whether others could see through this clumsy interface at a glance, in short, he had disappeared.
Lie Yi was the only one standing beside Yan Haoling, and it was the first time he saw him like this—different from the free and easy in the nameless wine shop, and also different from the luxurious in the Acacia Tower, the person in front of him was like a killing god from the nether hell, which made him feel so uneasy. The fearful look on his face matched his handsome face very well.
It was so matched that people couldn't look away, Lie Yi only felt a slight coolness soaking into his limbs little by little.
"Yi, drink tea?" Looking back, Yan Haoling seemed to have returned to her usual appearance, but some lingering haze still enveloped him, and she was no longer that casual noble son.
That's right, Yan Haoling is indeed drinking tea at this moment.In the hellish scene, like a specially opened corner, the rosewood tables and chairs, the cups, plates and teacups on them are all top-grade. Even the tea in the cup and the snacks in the saucer are not commonly seen. .
However, could not taste it.Lie Yi didn't think he was a weak person, but in such an environment he tried to calm down and drink tea as if nothing had happened, he really couldn't taste the taste of what he was drinking.
Yan Haoling was completely different, just like the smell of blood that permeated over did not exist at all, there was no difference between watching the execution scene and watching singing and dancing.It seemed that what caught the eye was not flesh and blood at all, but what was close at hand was just a beautiful dancer, performing with pleasing dance steps.
It's not that he didn't see the paleness on Lie Yi's face, he probably thought him disgusted, it's quite rare that he didn't turn around and leave.But why?Everyone felt that the bloody and brutal scene was no different from ordinary romance in Yan Haoling's eyes.
The executioner was a shriveled old man. Compared with Yan Haoling's indifference, he seemed to have fallen into a kind of frenzy. His withered yellow eyes reflected a radiance of excitement that was not commensurate with his age. The chances of extorting a confession by torture are running out, and he finally got this toy, so he naturally wants to enjoy it.
"Your Majesty, what are your orders?" Observing words and demeanor is a must-have skill for this kind of people, but Yan Haoling just gave him a look, and the old man rushed over without saying hello at all.
"Old Sun, your technique has regressed." It didn't seem like an accusation, and even without emotional ups and downs, Yan Haoling's purpose of saying this sentence seemed to be just to state a fact.
It's just that the person who heard this directly didn't feel this way.Old Sun felt big beads of sweat dripping down from his forehead and pouring into his eyes. It was hot and painful, but he didn't dare to raise his hand to wipe it even if he had the guts to lend him another chance.To be honest, he didn't see the emperor much. Generally speaking, he would not come to such a filthy place as a dungeon. He often ordered soldiers to bring people here to interrogate criminals. Waiting for the final result on the high temple.
However, every time you see Lao Sun, you will be terrified. Even if he is good at seeing through the hearts of prisoners, whether they are the strongest or the darkest, he can find out their secrets through some means. Ling does not apply.
From Yan Haoling's childhood, Lao Sun had seen him a few times, and every time it brought him a huge shock, this son of the prophecy, who bears the fate of destroying the world, is so invulnerable.There was no opening that could break him, and no opening that could take advantage of him, even from a young age.
As he grew older, until he finally ascended to Xilan's supreme position, his whole person became more and more perfect.In the past, the sharpness that was exposed occasionally, made it possible for others to trace the trajectory of his actions from those appearances. After reaching adulthood, Yan Haoling became more restrained, and no one could guess what he was thinking in his heart.
For example, at this moment, the language of similar accusations was spoken by him, but it seemed to be a simple fact.Old Sun couldn't figure out his real thoughts, was he surprised or angry?If he couldn't guess, Old Sun didn't dare to make any movements. No matter how uncomfortable the sweat was pouring into his eyes, he could only maintain a respectful posture, bending his already rather hunched back, with a slavish appearance, Not daring to make a sound.
After all, he was old, and it was not so easy to maintain a posture for a long time. Old Sun knew his physical condition, and he was about to be unable to hold on.Among the many criminal laws he came up with, one is to lock the prisoner in a black box half the height of a person, and keep him in a rather weird crooked posture, unable to sit or stand, and can only maintain a bent appearance Squat inside.Many prisoners, after a day or two of confinement, say nothing at all without the need for any other criminal law.
Although Lao Sun's own situation is not that bad now, his legs began to tremble slowly due to his age.
Finally, Yan Haoling waved her hand, signaling him to stand up.It was still an incomprehensible attitude, "I'll give you half a day to ask me everything I want to know."
"Yes, yes, yes." Lao Sun quickly agreed, "Your Majesty, don't worry, although the Meizu assassin's mouth is very hard, Lao Sun will definitely be able to pry it open. Please sit down and watch."
"Don't look at it." Yan Haoling got up, and stretched out her hand to pull Lie Yi up. "After you ask, just use this to report the result to me." Spread out your palms, as if holding a clear spring, shimmering with waves, it turned into a bird in an instant, and flew away from his palm and stopped at the side Rosewood table.
Coming out of the dungeon, Yan Haoling asked the people around her, "Where do you want to go?"
"Didn't you already have an idea, why bother to ask me again?" Lie Yi replied with a slight smile, the cloud was calm, but there was exhaustion that could not be concealed.What he saw in the prison made his mood sink little by little like the setting sun in the sky.
It is concluded that he already has a plan, otherwise he will not leave a shikigami for transmission.It seemed that he didn't intend to go back to the palace, if he wanted to go back, he could just order Lao Sun to report the results of the interrogation to the palace.
Yan Haoling was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled wryly, feeling that she could hear some complaints from Yi's tone. "Really listen to my arrangement? Then I'll find a place to eat first, and then take a good rest. Enough things happened today."
