Chapter 682 A Plan to Destroy the Nation and Exterminate the Race
Not only did Li San Niang treat Edward's wounds, but when she saw Edward's chapped lips, she also asked the guide outside for a pot of water and a cup.
Edward drank three cups of water from Li San Niang's hand to quench his thirst. When Li San Niang got closer, he noticed that the fragrance emanating from her was even stronger than before.
This caused Edward to breathe even more heavily.
Edward didn't think there was anything wrong with it; after all, Li San Niang was a woman, wasn't she?
It's easy to understand why a woman who smells nice would be a doctor, isn't it?
Edward didn't suspect anything. He had no idea that Li San Niang had applied the alluring powder to her forearms and hair on her way here, so that she could drug him without attracting his attention when she came into contact with him.
Actually, this kind of alluring powder can't be called a medicine; it's more of a mild poison.
Its function, as the name suggests, is to put people into a relaxed state, confuse their minds, and thus make them let down their guard and reveal their inner thoughts.
Edward is currently in this state, and just now, while Li San Niang was treating the wound on Edward's back, she quickly took out the gold needles she had taken out beforehand and inserted them into Edward's Fengyu acupoint (this acupoint is made up by me, don't believe it).
Using a bewitching powder to lower their guard and applying acupuncture to calm them down, this two-pronged approach is remarkably effective.
After Li San Niang moved the chair and stool next to Edward, she started chatting with him.
Li San Niang's actions naturally did not escape the notice of the spies from behind the walls and on the roof who were constantly monitoring her.
In fact, when Li Sanniang first entered the cell, she had already scanned the entire room with her X-ray vision. Not to mention the three walls and the roof, she had even scanned the floor.
After all, as soon as she entered the house, Li San Niang's keen hearing allowed her to hear the heartbeats of more people than she could see.
Therefore, this perspective naturally revealed the two people hiding behind the wall, as well as the other two people on the roof.
Of course, Li Sanniang was an ally, and the spies of the Bad People, even if they saw what she was doing, would not expose her.
Even now, one of the people on the rooftop stared wide-eyed at Edward, who was behaving very obediently on the cross. He thought to himself that Li Sanniang was truly talented and wished he could jump down from the rooftop immediately to have a good talk with Li Sanniang about what kind of medicine she used and where the golden needles were inserted.
"Where do you come from? What brings you here?"
Li San Niang openly took out the golden needles and, under Edward's watchful gaze, began to insert them into his swollen left calf. In just a few breaths, Edward felt his calf, which had been forcibly bound to the bottom of the cross and shrouded in heavy iron chains, become much lighter.
"A miraculous Eastern secret technique!"
Li San Niang didn't respond to that sentence; she was waiting for Edward to answer her question.
At this moment, Li San Niang was extremely nervous. If Edward didn't respond, she felt that the chances of getting information out of him would decrease by 50%.
Even with the aid of the alluring powder and acupuncture, the effects on the human body are time-limited, lasting no more than a quarter of an hour, and certainly no more than two quarters of an hour.
A trained person might not even last fifteen minutes.
Li San Niang was only relying on the fact that Edward had already been interrogated by the Bad People for several days using various methods, and that the countermeasures discussed by everyone, along with the suppression and attacks from Ding Mingxuan and Chang Siyuan, had given her the possibility of getting information out of him.
Time ticked by, and just when Li San Niang thought she was going to fail, Edward's still hoarse voice rang out above her head.
"Haha, you wouldn't know, it's the West, a place very far from here."
I traveled by boat for a long time to get here.
Li San Niang, holding a gold needle, inserted it into Edward's other leg. She still didn't raise her head, only responding calmly, "Is that so? How far is that?"
Edward coughed lightly before continuing, "Yes, it's very far, and it will take a long time to get here."
We came to spread happiness, to bring God down to this land, and then this will be a new world!
Li San Niang sensed the obvious excitement in Edward's tone and heard his heart pounding faster.
Under these circumstances, Li Sanniang carefully controlled the pace, gradually coaxing Edward to speak, hoping to extract useful information from his ramblings.
Fifteen minutes had almost passed, and the effects of the alluring powder were gradually wearing off. Li Sanniang glanced cautiously at Edward, her heart filled with anxiety.
In the nearly fifteen minutes that followed, Li San Niang still hadn't managed to get any information from Edward about why their cult, called the New World, had come to the Tang Dynasty.
What does it mean for God to descend to earth?
What is their ultimate goal?
"No, we have to seize this opportunity!"
Li San Niang stood up, walked slowly behind Edward, took out a golden needle and stuck it directly into Edward's occipital cavity (I made that up).
Then she reached out and placed her hand on Edward's shoulder, and began to massage him.
"Then how will you summon God? How will you treat the people of this land?"
Feeling the kneading on his shoulders, Edward, who had been bound and unable to move for three days, couldn't help but let out a satisfied sigh thanks to Li San Niang's technique.
"Ah, of course we have to perform sacrifices. After the sacrifices, the gods will be satisfied and will naturally descend to earth."
When Li San Niang heard Edward say that the word used during the sacrificial ceremony was not Chinese, but the word "sacrifice," she was surprised.
In that instant, Li San Niang's mind was filled with all sorts of dark, bloody, and foul-smelling images.
"My worst fears have been confirmed: they intend to destroy our nation and exterminate our people!"
As for you?
Haha, naturally we'll keep the obedient and useful ones, and the rest can go and dedicate themselves to God!
Li Sanniang patiently and discreetly continued to use the limited time available to inquire about the whereabouts of Edward's accomplices.
But whether it was because the medicine had taken effect or because Edward genuinely didn't know, he couldn't get any information about the whereabouts of his companions and the archbishop.
After realizing that the alluring powder had worn off, Li Sanniang put away all the golden needles she had secretly placed, storing them directly on the hem of her skirt.
Finally, after giving Edward a perfunctory smile, Li San Niang packed up her small medical kit and went out.
As soon as she stepped outside, Li San Niang's expression turned serious. She nodded to the guide and followed him back.
