Chapter 756 Mental Killing
Nie Beilou breathed a sigh of relief, which had just been released, and instantly recovered.
"Tell you to kill someone?" Chu Yujiang's tone was a little tense. "Who did he tell you to kill? And how?"
Ruan Qi did not answer immediately.
She seemed to be immersed in a nightmare, her eyelashes trembling constantly, and her hands tightly grasping the blanket covering her body.
Chu Yujiang gave Xi Jiu a wink.
Xi Jiu understood what he meant and immediately calmed Ruan Qi's mental power in his sea of consciousness.
The familiar power enveloped him, calming Ruan Qi's restless spirit once again. Chu Yujiang took this opportunity to ask again, "Xiao Qi, who did Jiang Chunian ask you to kill?"
"Kill..." Ruan Qi's subconscious struggled for a long time before he spoke tremblingly, "Kill number 11."
Chu Yujiang was stunned: "Number 11? Who is number 11?"
"It was... a little boy." Ruan Qi's forehead was covered in sweat, and her eyelashes trembled again. "Number Eleven was disobedient and wanted to run away. Jiang Chunian had him captured and bled. Number Eleven's blood was in the red wine glass. Jiang Chunian asked me to drink it, but I refused..."
Chu Yujiang: "And then? He asked you to kill number 11?"
"Yes... he asked me to kill No. 11." Ruan Qi's voice was filled with tears.
Chu Yujiang: "Did you kill him?"
As soon as this question was asked, everyone in the room held their breath.
But Ruan Qi didn't answer this time.
Her subconscious seemed to be resisting this memory, and the mental power that Xi Jiu had soothed in her sea of consciousness began to become restless.
Chu Yujiang immediately increased the intensity of hypnosis, trying to calm her down.
"Xiao Qi, don't be afraid, it's all over. Your master and Xi Jiu are here, you are safe."
As Chu Yujiang spoke, he inserted silver needles into several acupoints of Ruan Qi.
With this double comfort, Ruan Qi finally calmed down.
Seeing this, Chu Yujiang immediately asked the same question again: "Xiao Qi, did you kill No. 11?"
"……No."
This answer made Nie Beilou and the other two feel relieved.
But at this moment, Ruan Qi's body suddenly trembled, and big tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes.
Then, she said something that was like a bolt from the blue:
"I didn't kill Number Eleven... Jiang Chunian forced me to drink human blood, but I refused. He said if I didn't drink blood, Number Eleven would have to be killed... I broke free from the rope and tried to run, but Jiang Chunian caught me back... and then... and then..."
"What happened then?" Chu Yujiang asked immediately.
"Then..." Ruan Qi's face turned pale. "Then he hung Number Eleven upside down from the beam and asked me to make a choice... He told me... If I wanted Number Eleven to live, I had to burn all the children in the 'garbage dump' to death... If I wanted the children in the 'garbage dump' to live, I had to kill Number Eleven..."
Ruan Qi's voice was choked and trembling, and every word she said was like a heavy hammer, hitting several people's hearts hard.
Nie Beilou's expression suddenly became extremely terrifying.
The masseter muscles on Xi Jiu's cheeks moved violently a few times, and a layer of blood appeared in the bottom of his dark eyes.
Chu Yujiang's expression also looked somewhat ugly.
Having studied psychology for so many years, he knew best how to break through people's psychological defenses. The choice between killing one person to save a group and killing a group to save one person—this choice about human nature was extremely cruel to a nine-year-old girl, and it was also the most likely to cause a mental breakdown.
In Ruan Qi's view, whether saving the group of people in the "garbage dump" or saving No. 11 alone, it means that someone will lose their life because of her choice.
For the little girl who has regarded saving lives and healing the wounded as her belief since childhood, this is tantamount to spiritual slaughter.
