…

Cough cough cough~

A violent coughing sound was heard, and the imprisoned man seemed to wake up. He raised his head and looked at Qiao Yuan weakly.

There was a familiar look on the pale face.

He is somewhat similar to Yuan Bo.

"Ahem... Can you do me a favor?" The man leaned against the wall with difficulty, his lips trembling.

At this time, Qiao Yuan also noticed that his handcuffed right hand had a plastic tube stuck in it.

Red blood is being drawn out.

One of them is connected to a machine.

"What help?" Qiao Yuan asked.

"Kill me, kill me!" The imprisoned man cried out in pain.

Every struggle causes the pain in his body to double.

The third-level awakener was tortured to this extent!

Under the mental scan, Qiao Yuan took a deep breath.

He could already guess the inhuman torture this awakened one had suffered.

The machine draws blood at a fixed time and fixed amount. The familiar white candles not far away suppress and dissipate the spiritual energy of awakened beings below level 4. Add to that the crippled legs...

These are tortures!

But something else is even more cruel.

The source to which this blood flows.

A primary weird thing.

It was the shabby and decayed, seemingly inconspicuous wooden door not far away.

…

"I can't hold on any longer, kill me... kill me!"

"Go to hell, all of you!"

"Hahahaha... With this thing, I can go anywhere!"

"Brother...it hurts...I'm so scared..."

“…”

In the cage, the disheveled man had a ferocious look on his face, drooled continuously, and began to talk nonsense.

Ding~

After a slight sound, the machine next to it flashed green light.

The machine started up.

Start drawing blood!

The man who had lost his spiritual energy struggled, sometimes wailing, sometimes laughing wildly, and sometimes fainting...

"younger brother!"

A figure appeared, it was Yuan Bo, he did not leave.

When he found that the door was not closed, he hesitated for a moment and followed.

The senior may need help, and he also needs to find someone!

Then he saw this scene.

His brother...was imprisoned here, worse than death!

…

Qiao Yuan pulled out the test tube, extinguished the candle, and put the half candle back into his pocket.

"Senior, please...save my brother..."

“Please…”

Yuan Bo knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly. The wound on his left arm began to split and blood continued to seep out.

After rummaging through his pocket, Qiao Yuan took out a bottle of spiritual liquid.

He brought enough spiritual fluid for this battle.

While expressing his gratitude, Yuan Bo slowly used the spiritual liquid to clean the wound, and fed the rest to the man mouthful by mouthful.

The effect of the spiritual fluid was enormous, and the imprisoned man's body was gradually recovering.

Qiao Yuan came to the side and looked at the dilapidated wooden door.

The strange object can affect a person's mind. No normal awakened person would use it, but its power is really strong.

I had previously wondered if there was any way to avoid side effects, but now that I see all this, I understand it instantly.

…

Human wisdom is infinite!

If there are side effects when you use it yourself, then let others use it.

It is others who are affected and others who die, and the person behind the scenes only needs to control that unlucky guy.

Choose an unlucky guy who has strength but won't be harmed by the backlash.

As for control!

Aside from special powers, no one in this world is an individual. To control someone, whether it's a threat to a loved one or something the victim cares about...

Anyway...it's not as difficult as I imagined.

Qiao Yuan looked at the rotting corpses on the ground again.

One unlucky guy after another?

…

In the corner, the imprisoned man has woken up and is looking at his familiar brother in disbelief.

The two of them hugged each other and cried bitterly.

After the chains were broken, the imprisoned man told everything.

The situation was similar to what Qiao Yuan had guessed.

The person behind this will look for some third-level awakeners who have attachments, cripple their legs, and imprison them here with this special candle, and then let these people control strange things.

Under the threat of the people behind them using the things they care about/family members, they lost their power and were forced to agree.

The corpses on the ground are all previous hosts.

Once it discovers that the controlled host has lost its mind, it will retaliate...If the threat is ineffective, it will be killed and then look for a new host.

Over and over again!

In this way, you will have a strange thing with no side effects!

…

After hearing what happened to his brother, Yuan Bo gritted his teeth and wished he could skin the person behind it alive.

After his younger brother recovered some strength, Yuan Bo was preparing to give all the remaining spiritual liquid to his younger brother to use to restore his strength.

But he was stopped by Qiao Yuan!

"People who have been dehydrated for a long time are not suitable to drink too much water all at once. You are harming them!"

Yuan Bo understood instantly and quickly put the bottle away.

"Help me find the door that leads directly to the target!" Qiao Yuan continued.

There are too many doors. Since this person controls strange things, there is no need to test them one by one.

"Sure, I've wanted to kill that old dog for a long time!" said the imprisoned man violently.

He picked up the tube on the ground and reinserted it into his body, and blood began to flow out again.

The dilapidated wooden door sucked madly like a bloodthirsty beast.

…

"Just open it, thank you, senior!" said the imprisoned man with a fierce look in his eyes.

Qiao Yuan nodded, then motioned Yuan Bo to come over.

The two men came to the wooden door. Qiao Yuan opened it and a sharp cold wind blew, causing Yuan Bo to shiver.

"Don't let him touch this thing again. If I'm not back in half an hour, take him and run back to the Security Bureau."

"Senior, you..." Yuan Bo wanted to say something, but was stopped by Qiao Yuan.

"You are his brother, but you are also a Security Bureau patrolman. Don't forget your responsibilities."

"Leave the spiritual fluid to me for now. I'll give it to you when I come back!"

"Guard this door well, and don't let anyone get close, including your brother!"

In order to prevent Yuan Bo from letting his emotions get in the way, Qiao Yuan took back the spiritual liquid.

Being affected to this extent by a strange thing, once his strength recovers, something might happen.

I already have the strange sword, and the war is imminent, so I can't focus my energy on this strange door.

…

With Yuan Bo's consent, Qiao Yuan stepped into the door.

A biting cold wind blew past, Qiao Yuan tightened his clothes and looked up.

It's a ancestral hall!

As soon as he stepped in, Qiao Yuan heard a voice.

"Retribution will never find me!"

Qiao Yuan's eyes focused. The energy fluctuations in this person's body were very fierce, definitely not at the fifth level. He immediately locked onto the target and activated the Breaking the Rules Sword Technique.

"Retribution has come!"

Qiao Yuan chopped down with a knife!
