Chapter 350: Catch the Living and Judge the Dead
"This guy struggled quite hard," Irene (Rebar) sat on Yu Sheng's shoulder and sighed at the enemy she had captured, "I have to say, he has great physical strength."
Yu Sheng didn't say anything, but walked over carefully and observed the strange mask on the face of the black-robed monk.
These enemies who suddenly appeared all wore strange masks on their faces. The masks did not look exactly the same, but they all had bumpy patterns on the surface, just like burnt stones, as if they were deliberate imitations of some kind of "image". The colors were some dark black, some dark red, all unpleasant dark tones.
After a slight hesitation, Yu Sheng reached out and took off the other person's mask.
Under the mask was a man's face that was twisted with anger and pain, but was otherwise an ordinary man.
"Do you recognize this thing?" Yu Sheng stood up and handed the mask to Xuan Che beside him.
"I don't recognize it." Xuan Che carefully observed the appearance of the mask and then focused on its material. "...It's just ordinary wood. It doesn't have any additional functions. It seems to be just used to cover up the true appearance and serve as a symbol of identity."
As he spoke, he lowered his head again and looked carefully at the bound black-robed monk for a moment.
"It looks like a real person, not an entity generated from an alien world..."
"...Didn't they say that the entrance to this foreign land was blocked by your people?" Irene's eyes widened immediately. "Just now I saw someone guarding the gate outside...Su Yun?"
"Su Yun rarely makes mistakes when doing things," Xuan Che said with a gloomy face, "so the appearance of these people is even more strange."
As he finished speaking, he had already taken a step forward, staring at the unknown enemy with a frown.
"Who are you? How did you get into this secret place? Who sent you here? What is your purpose?"
Xuan Che asked several questions in a row, but the black-robed monk just groaned and turned away with his neck stiff.
"You can imagine that he won't tell you if you ask him," Yu Sheng was so familiar with this scene that he couldn't help but sigh, "You always have to be tough with captured enemies."
"We still have to go through the necessary procedures," Xuan Che said casually, and then turned his gaze to Irene, "Can you loosen up these 'threads'? We need to send this man back for a thorough interrogation, but these 'threads' are wrapped around his body... It's a bit troublesome."
"What should I do? I don't dare to let this guy go," Irene said, also a little worried. "I feel like he has a mind full of self-destructive tendencies. If I let go of the thread even a little bit, he might commit suicide."
"That's okay." Xuan Che waved his hand upon hearing this, and as he spoke, he moved closer to the black-robed monk, untied the medicine gourd from his waist, shook it twice, and the sound of pills shaking came from the originally empty gourd. Then he poured out two lavender pills, pried open the black-robed monk's mouth and prepared to feed the medicine in.
"What is this?" Yu Sheng was curious. "Mind-controlling pill? The zombie pill?"
"It's not that easy to control the mind of a cultivator, especially a soldier like this. Pills with that kind of power would probably burn his brain before they take effect," Xuan Che smiled and shook his head. "They are just some pills that suppress spiritual power, seal the heart and lock the spirit. They made him fall asleep obediently."
The black-robed monk naturally refused to obey, and struggled desperately when he saw the medicine was about to reach his mouth. But who was Xuan Che? He was the chief talent of the first medical sect on Taixu Star. For him, the patient's refusal to take medicine was not even a problem. He quickly raised his finger, condensed the energy on his fingertips, and then pointed it in the air: "Follow the doctor's instructions!"
The man in black opened his mouth on the spot and swallowed the medicine no matter how hard he struggled.
Yu Sheng couldn't help but laugh as he watched from the side: "Your move names are..."
"I really benefited a lot from Irene's reminder last time," Xuan Che laughed when he heard it, looking very happy. "Although my medical and self-defense boxing and kicking skills are not as good as those specialized skills that have been used in battles for a long time, they are also inherited from my master for many years. Each move should have a name - of course, the names I think of now are just temporary. When the time comes, I should report the specifics to my master and listen to his advice..."
Yu Sheng: “…”
Irene's expression was a little dull at this time. She just didn't have sweat glands. If she did, cold sweat would have flowed to her feet by now. "Well, is there a possibility? I was just joking last time, don't take it seriously!"
Xuan Che said seriously: "Even jokes can be thought-provoking!"
As he spoke, he saw that the black-robed monk lying on the ground was still struggling, so he gave him another "Follow the doctor's orders" and then force-fed him a few pills. He explained as he fed him, "This medicine is mild and does not hurt the body or affect the mind. It is perfect for controlling living people. The only drawback is that it is a little weak against masters. But it doesn't matter. I led my fellow apprentices to make medicine and made more than a thousand pills...Follow the doctor's orders!"
"Follow the doctor's instructions!"
"Follow the doctor's instructions!"
Yu Sheng watched Xuan Che feed countless pills to the black-clothed monk. The latter struggled fiercely at the beginning, but his struggle became weaker later. It was not known whether the effect of the medicine had dissipated or he had accepted his fate. After a long while, the black-clothed monk finally stopped struggling, and after taking the last sip of the pill with an expression of unwillingness to humiliation and resentment, he finally fell asleep.
Yu Sheng was stunned and even thought that the man had died of starvation.
Xuan Che seemed to have some concerns in this regard. After seeing the black-robed monk fainted, he hesitated for a moment, poured out a few stomach-strengthening and digestion-promoting pills from the gourd, stuffed them into the other party's mouth, and used his spiritual power to help him refine them.
Irene was just trying to prevent the world from being in chaos, and she kept on talking beside him: "At least you gave him some water to drink, he almost choked to death."
Xuan Che thought about it and poured half a pot of water into the black-robed monk who had already fainted - Yu Sheng tried to stop him but failed.
Irene finally retracted her spider silk. The black-robed monk with a bulging belly was lying on the ground, sleeping like a corpse. Although his sleeping posture was not very peaceful, at least there was no risk of escape or suicide. Yu Shengze looked at this scene, hesitated for a while, but couldn't help but said: "Xuan Che."
"Mr. Yu, please give your instructions."
"…You should become a forensic doctor in the future."
"……ah?"
Ignoring the puzzled expression on Xuan Che's face, Yu Sheng simply opened a door.
Opposite the door was the scene in the main hall of Queyun Palace - several monks were looking at this side in astonishment.
Now Yu Sheng has recorded many new coordinates in Queyun Palace, so the gate does not have to be opened in Xuan Che's alchemy furnace.
"Send the captives over first, and tell them about the situation," Yu Sheng turned to Xuan Che and said, "Then come back and we'll investigate here - the entrance to the foreign land is clearly blocked, but these people suddenly appeared. This is very strange."
"Oh, okay."
Xuan Che responded immediately and waved his hand in the direction of the black-robed monk, causing the latter to float in the air. He then took the prisoner directly through the gate, returned to Queyun Palace, and went to report to Master Yuanling.
Yu Sheng waited patiently by the gate. After a while, Xuan Che came back.
"Master was shocked," he said quickly as he came over, "This is the first time that someone was attacked while operating in this foreign land, and it was another cultivator - he has already taken the man in black to prison, and will interrogate him personally next. He also asked me to come back and investigate carefully. Everything will be arranged by Master."
Yu Sheng nodded, closed the door casually, and walked towards the other black-clad corpses lying in the yellow sand.
"I have checked these people," Xuan Che said, "They are very cautious. They don't carry anything that can prove their identity. Even their magic weapons and weapons are obviously made in private or have been carefully erased."
"I know that these people who dare to lurk in a foreign land and attack the people of Qianfeng Lingshan must have this professional quality," Yu Sheng waved his hand, "but I'm not looking for the tokens on them."
Xuan Che was startled: "...What is that?"
"What I'm looking for is their posthumous confessions," Yu Sheng turned around and smiled. "After all, we only caught one person alive. What if we can't get any useful information from that guy? I have to interrogate them first while the bodies are still fresh."
As he finished speaking, he had already bent down and reached out his hand to touch a bloodstain.
All colors faded away before his eyes, and the black, white and gray tones representing the afterlife instantly descended. Everything in the desert became quiet, and a layer of hazy mist rose on the distant horizon. The figures of Xuan Che and others who were nearby also froze in the black and white world.
Yu Sheng was already familiar with this scene. He clapped his hands and was about to wake up the dead person in front of him. However, at this moment, a slight sound coming from nearby suddenly interrupted his next action.
In the corner of my eye, a glowing figure moved.
Yu Sheng raised his head and saw a girl wearing bright armor, with cascading blonde hair and holding a holy sword. She was looking around curiously, as if she was quite surprised by the change in the environment.
The place where she was standing was exactly where the artificial saint Luna had just stood.
Yu Sheng was stunned for a moment, but the brief shock quickly faded away.
Thinking about what he had "seen" before, he seemed to understand something.
"Luna," he said to the bewildered female knight, "I'm here."
The blonde girl finally woke up from her trance and saw the only person with color and movement besides herself, so she immediately walked over: "Yusheng! What's going on here?"
"Ah, you speak much more clearly now." Yu Sheng raised his eyebrows when he heard the other party's clear and fluent words, and then smiled, "This is the world on the other side of death."
