Chapter 115 Chapter 115: Interrogation "I heard you wanted to see the Lord...
The next day.
Lingni was imprisoned here after being taken away by the First Legion.
The interrogation continued throughout the night, and if I fell asleep, I would be woken up with a strong light.
The three cold metal walls reflected the dazzling white light, and outside the only transparent tempered glass wall, the lights in the corridor were dim and deserted.
Lingni sat on a chair in the middle of the room, both of them tied to the chair's arms, their ankles bound with heavy chains.
His hair was a little messy, with a few strands of hair hanging down in front of his forehead, covering his tired eyes.
Slowly raising his head, Lingni looked outside through the glass wall.
The two guards at the door suddenly moved, bowed towards the outside, and then retreated. The footsteps gradually disappeared at the end of the corridor.
Lingni's mouth corners slightly raised, as if he had already anticipated what would happen next.
"Lingoni."
A low and cold voice came from the door, accompanied by the heavy sound of military boots stepping on the floor.
Hades walked in, a silver metal mask covering half of his face, his eyes sharp as blades.
He was tall and straight, with broad shoulders and long legs. His black military uniform outlined his strong physique, and every step he took carried an oppressive feeling that could not be ignored.
"I heard that you wanted to see the Lord." Hades stopped in front of the glass wall, his voice as cold as ice.
Lingni smiled. Even though he hadn't slept all night, his smile still had a soft and fake meaning.
"yes."
He leaned lazily back in his chair, his eyes meeting Hades's without hesitation.
Hades looked at him coldly, without a trace of emotion in his eyes.
"impossible."
"What should I do then?"
Lingni blinked, with a hint of provocation in his tone.
"I'm only willing to speak when I see Lord Ian."
Hades's eyes hardened and he sneered, "Even if you see him, the Lord is not yours."
Lingni's smile deepened. He tilted his head slightly, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone:
"Oh, yes, I almost forgot. Your Highness is the heir to the empire and the next Insect Emperor. Of course, you are qualified to monopolize a male insect."
His voice was light, as if he was talking about something insignificant.
"Unfortunately, His Highness can only monopolize Lord Ian in a legal sense. As for if Lord Ian keeps a few female insects outside in the future and who he sleeps with, it seems that His Highness has no control over it."
Hades' expression remained calm, as if Lingni's words had not stirred any emotions in him.
"That's not your concern."
His voice was low and cold.
"I'm only here to tell you, or you'll die."
Lingni's smile froze for a moment, but soon returned to normal.
He raised his eyebrows, as if waiting for Hades's next words.
"Lin Mo has been found."
Hades' voice was smooth as he stated the facts.
Lingni's pupils shrank slightly, and the smile on his face finally disappeared.
His fingers unconsciously clenched the arms of the chair, his knuckles turning white from the effort.
"If you are willing to confess and be lenient, your crime will be evaluated at your discretion."
Facing the female insect that coveted her male master, Hades's eyes were cold and heartless.
"If you don't want to, then I'll send you away, but your death will be meaningless."
The air in the room seemed to freeze, leaving only their gazes in silent confrontation.
Lingni's breathing became slightly rapid, but he quickly adjusted himself and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth again, although this time the smile seemed a little forced.
"Your Highness is truly formidable. Has Lin Mo also been captured by Your Highness?"
He said softly.
"Is it that Lord Ian doesn't want to see me, or is it that His Highness simply doesn't dare to tell Lord Ian?"
Hades did not answer, but just looked at him coldly, as if he was looking at an opponent who was doomed to fail.
However, Lingani guessed correctly, Hades did not tell Ian.
After becoming pregnant, Hades' mind seemed to become narrower. He didn't like any female insect to get close to Ian. Perhaps what he could tolerate before, he couldn't tolerate at all now.
Hades' voice was as cold as ice, with a hint of barely perceptible disgust.
"At this moment, if you were to say that you have fallen in love with my Lord, it would be a bit disgusting."
Lingni still leaned back in his chair, looking somewhat defiant despite his hands and feet being bound.
He raised his chin slightly, looking at Hades without hesitation, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"So what if it is, so what if it isn't?"
"You clearly did something bad to the Lord before. Just because the Lord didn't let you die in the fire, did you fall in love with him?"
Hades' voice was low and cold, with undisguised disgust in his tone.
"That's quite funny."
Lingni chuckled, a hint of nonchalance in his voice.
"Ah, how can you say that?"
His tone was light and airy.
"I have liked Sir Ian from the very beginning."
Then, Lingni's eyes swept across Hades' face, especially lingering for a moment on the half silver mask, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.
"Besides, at least I have a pretty face."
After saying that, Lingni deliberately raised his head, revealing his delicate and pale face, with a provocative look in his eyes, as if he was mocking Hades's face that was half covered by the mask.
Hades' expression remained stern, without the slightest fluctuation.
He stood there, tall and straight, like an insurmountable wall, exuding a sense of oppression.
The attack on his appearance was completely harmless to Hades.
After being injured, he has actually gradually gotten used to this half of his face covered with scars, and has gradually learned not to care.
If he had to say that he cared, he would only care in front of Ian.
"You don't have to take a step back,"
Hades' voice was calm and cold.
"You are here, watching yourself being a prisoner."
Lingni's smile froze for a moment, but soon returned to normal.
He shrugged, lowered his head slightly, and said in a tone that sounded indifferent:
"So what if I'm a prisoner? I know what you want to hear from me, but I won't say it."
Hades' voice echoed off the cold metal walls, carrying an unquestionable coldness.
"Lingni, stubborn resistance is useless."
Lingni's hair hung messily in front of his forehead, covering his eyes and making it impossible to see his expression.
But—then, Hades' words were like a sharp dagger, piercing his heart word by word.
"You've done so much for Earl Link. Now that something's happened, who do you think will come to save you?"
Hades spoke, neither hurriedly nor slowly.
Lingni still didn't look up, but just stared at the ground, as if there was something there that could allow him to escape reality.
"If this is the ending you want, to die alone in an empty corner, no one will care about what you did in the past, what suffering you endured, what sins you suffered."
Hades' voice was calm and cold, as if he was stating a very ordinary fact.
Lingni's breathing became slightly rapid, but he still didn't speak. He just clenched his teeth, trying to suppress something.
"On the contrary, perhaps the person who would be most happy about your death would be Earl Link."
Hades' voice was telling the truth.
"Because he doesn't have to worry about you betraying him."
——Purely making wedding dresses for others.
At this point, Lingni's fingers unconsciously clenched the armrests of the chair, and his knuckles turned white from the force.
With a cold calm, Hades' voice echoed off the cold metal walls.
"By the way, I can tell you another piece of news."
"Earl Link suffers from azoospermia, so neither you nor Lin Mo are his bloodline."
"There was a time when I heard that Earl Link was very keen on doing charity work in the slums. Was he doing charity work or was he screening people?"
"What?" Lingni looked up in astonishment, then suddenly lowered his head and shook his head frantically, "Impossible... Impossible..."
Hades ignored Lingni's collapse and continued:
"As for your female and male fathers, they might have been killed by Count Link. After all, the Zerg in the slums wouldn't be very high-level."
In an instant, a sharp buzzing sound seemed to ring in Lingni's ears, as if countless fine needles were piercing his brain, making it almost impossible for him to think.
Everything in front of my eyes was blurry, and the dazzling white light distorted into chaos in my vision.
Lingni's body trembled slightly, as if he was hit hard by an invisible force, and he froze in the chair.
He recalled the dreams he occasionally had—Count Link's cold gaze, the extremely strict house rules and punishments, the various inhumane tasks...
Those fragments that were once buried deep in his memory now came flooding back like a tide, almost drowning him.
Countless times he surrendered to blood ties, countless times he identified with blood ties, countless times he depended on these blood ties - Lingni convinced himself that he was not abandoned in this world, not alone, and not without anything.
Now it seems like it was all a huge lie. He was just a chess piece, and the player had countless chess pieces.
"impossible……"
Lingni's voice was hoarse and weak, almost squeezed out from the depths of his throat.
His fingers clutched the armrests of the chair tightly, as if this could hold onto the last bit of sanity.
Hades looked at him coldly, without a trace of fluctuation in his eyes.
"Believe it or not, if you insist, I can show you the evidence."
His voice was calm and cold.
"Now, I'm just telling you the truth."
This is indeed true.
Before Amiya left, she reminded Hades to investigate Earl Link carefully.
I have to say that in other matters, Count Link hid his true colors very well, but a private doctor in a hospital was kicked out because of some dirty deeds.
When Hades' men rushed over, they happened to save the doctor, so they learned this meaningless secret.
I didn't expect that this secret would come in handy here.
"How is it possible... How could this happen... Why..."
Lingni's breathing became more and more rapid, and his chest heaved violently.
The sharp buzzing sound still echoed in his ears, and the whole world collapsed at this moment.
His fingers finally loosened the armrests of the chair in frustration, and his whole body seemed to have lost its support and collapsed in the chair.
Hades said nothing more, but just looked at him coldly.
"So, the one who most wants you dead right now should be Earl Link."
Hades stopped there.
“How could it be…”
Lingni murmured softly, with a hint of imperceptible despair in his voice.
The surrounding metal walls reflected a dazzling white light, which hurt his eyes.
It was so bright that it almost made him want to cry.
Hades looked at him expressionlessly and coldly:
"You still have a lot of time to think about it. What is the limit of the Zerg's ability to go without food or water? You can try it."
Even after saying this, Lingni still didn't look up or speak, but just sat there quietly, like a sculpture.
——A deep blood feud, recognizing the enemy as a father.
Hades said nothing more and turned to leave.
The sound of military boots stepping on the floor was heavy and powerful, and every step brought with it a sense of oppression that could not be ignored.
Just as Hades was about to step out of the door, a difficult voice suddenly came from behind him.
"……Wait a moment."
Lingni spoke in a low voice, with an imperceptible tremor in his voice.
Hades paused for a moment, but did not look back. He just stood there coldly, waiting for Lingni's next words.
The air in the room seemed to freeze, leaving only the dazzling white light and the silent confrontation between the two people.
Lingni still kept his head down, but his fingers slightly loosened the armrests of the chair, as if he was making some decision.
"Wait a minute, I want to see the evidence... Show me the evidence. If the evidence is true, then I will... tell you everything."
Hades nodded: "Okay."
He waved to his men and said, "Bring the doctor's recorder and medical certificate."
