"Trust is nothing but a fragile and boring thing. You overestimate it." Shi Yin walked forward expressionlessly and squatted down in front of the three of them. "But it's not entirely fruitless. At least I think I'll gain something."
"You mean torture?" Agarai understood what Shi Yin meant, but he wasn't optimistic: "If you can't even get the memories, torture probably won't get you anything, right?"
“That’s true under normal circumstances, but it’s like watching a TV series. Even if you understand the plot perfectly, you can’t know the details of the script directly.” Shi Yin shrugged: “If you want to see the original version, you still have to ask the screenwriter directly.”
As she spoke, Shi Yin raised her hand, and a short knife appeared in her hand: "Stop your superpowers. I won't get anything out of you if you keep them on."
Agarai shrugged, which was an admission of Tokine's statement.
As Agare stopped moving, the three men's trembling finally subsided. They were all drenched in sweat, lying on the ground as if they were completely exhausted, with white light flashing before their eyes.
Judging from their expressions, they probably doubted whether they were still alive.
After a while, the three realized that they had been ordered to ambush two people, but to their surprise, the two people subdued them without saying a word.
Wasn't it supposed to be that the main characters fight openly and fairly? Where's the promised name-giving, blood-pumping battle?
To this day, none of the three people understand how they became like this.
When they came to their senses and their consciousness returned, they found themselves tied up and pressed against the wall. What bound them was not rope but thin hair, long, snow-white hair that constricted every inch of their muscles like a spider web.
They were all taken aback when they saw Shi Yin and the other two.
The long black trench coat accentuated her slender figure, her expression was aloof and her eyes were cold. Her skin was as smooth as jade and her bones were as deep as water, making the three who had just woken up feel a little dazed.
Did they go to heaven?
It wasn't until a fine, stinging pain spread across their skin that the three of them snapped back to reality. Feeling the pain caused by the tough strands of hair binding every inch of their bodies, they were momentarily at a loss as to where to begin crying out in pain.
"I've played too many combat games, so I'd love to play a turn-based game with you guys. It's my turn now, no objections, right?" Shi Yin walked up to the three of them, her long, snow-white hair trembling with her movements.
From the perspective of the three people who were tied up, it was truly terrifying.
It strangely resembles Tang Sanzang being hung in a spider cave by a spider demon...
"My first question is, what level is that guy wrapped in a purple robe that you pictured?" Shi Yin asked directly.
In these people's minds, the only person who gave them orders was the one in purple, though they didn't know if it was the same person.
The three of them paused for a moment, then fell silent; none of them spoke.
"Three, two, one."
"Aaaaaah!!"
A scream rang out, and the other man and woman shuddered and looked over. They saw that the left hand of the man tied up on the far left was being lifted up by his hair, with several strands of hair piercing deep into his fingernails like needles.
"Before coming to Yanlong Kingdom, you should have some knowledge of its history, and you must be very interested in our Ten Great Tortures."
Shi Yin's voice was low and melodious, which was particularly striking in the charred house, as if it carried a sinister, damp atmosphere, more eerie than a drowned ghost.
"Don't worry, beautiful lady, I will choose the gentlest method for you." Shi Yin used her cane to lift the woman's chin, forcing her to raise her head: "But I think you will be happy to see what your child looks like."
"Wait, what are you doing?" The blonde woman finally couldn't hold back and cursed, "You beast, how could you be so cruel to a child? You're not even human!"
"Who told you I am?" Shi Yin scoffed, tapping the child's head with her cane. "It's alright, there are two more children ahead of this one. You have plenty of time to prepare yourself."
"You bastard! God will never forgive you! You'll be cast into the deepest hell!" the woman cursed Shi Yin viciously.
"There is no God in Yanlong Kingdom, only the country and the central government." Shi Yin shrugged nonchalantly: "If there really is a God, he probably wouldn't dare to put me in the eighteenth level of hell, after all, if I joined forces with Satan, we would destroy his Garden of Eden."
The woman was speechless, not expecting Shi Yin to refute so smoothly, and for a moment she didn't know how to refute it.
"So, has anyone answered me now?" Shi Yin looked at the three of them, but they remained silent.
Shi Yin pursed her lips and pulled the man whose nails had just been pierced in front of her. A few sharp, clean strands of hair were pulled out from them, gleaming silver in the darkness.
"Wait, wait, wait! I'll go out first!" Agareth's expression changed and he was the first to rush out.
The three men were stunned. Wasn't this man the companion of the woman who was interrogating them? Why was he so frightened?
The next moment, all three of them had a strange feeling, as if they had suddenly merged into one, with a strange sense of resonance.
This intensified their ominous premonition.
“Sensory resonance, I hope you like and cherish the feeling you have now.” Shi Yin leaned on her cane, stroking the golden snake head on it, and raised a strange smile: “You should thank me, people like you don’t deserve to enjoy the healing potion.”
"But now, I can let you enjoy some high-tech products."
Amidst the horrified gazes of the three, Shi Yin stepped forward, pulled out three syringes, and injected one into each of them.
As soon as the liquid was injected into their bodies, the three of them felt a wave of comfort throughout their bodies. Not only was the physical pain greatly relieved, but their spirits were also soothed, as if they were soaking in a comfortable hot spring, which even made them feel a little drowsy.
"I wish you all the best of luck."
A mysterious smile appeared on Shi Yin's lips.
"Have you ever heard of being executed by slow slicing? Although I don't know anything about medicine, I have some knowledge of knife techniques, and I'll definitely let you live for a very, very long time..."
Outside the gate, on the street, Agare covered his ears and squatted silently outside.
The wailing and howling of the three people inside the house could be heard clearly even from outside the shop through the large iron gate. This is why Agarai said that even if the mirror image only had 30% of Toki's strength, he still dared not face it.
Agarai felt an instinctive fear when facing Toki.
Agarai recalled their first few rebirths, when they hadn't reincarnated many times yet, and each had established their own sanctuary and ruled as king.
They attempted to conquer various worlds, their aim being nothing more than to acquire more resources and improve their own survival, resulting in chaos and disorder!
After being reborn several times, Agare, chosen by the blessings that slipped through his fingers, possessed memories of many rebirths and established the largest sanctuary in Milica.
However, Milica's resources were indeed limited, so Agaray planned to go to a more prosperous place.
