Zhao Changliu's expression was somewhat stiff. After a long while, he sighed uncomfortably and said, "I feel sorry for my mother. I can only handle this case according to the law."
"According to the laws of the Great Chu, her crime is punishable by either beheading or exile for three thousand miles." Mo Congwu raised his eyebrows, implying that no matter what the punishment was, Shen Lin's crime was a death sentence.
"Besides, we haven't even considered the fact that she stole the military tokens and killed so many soldiers. Beheading is a light punishment, and being torn apart by a chariot is not a severe one either." Mo Congwu said with a sneer.
Obviously, he looked down upon someone as vicious as Shen Lin.
Zhao Changliu had a very ugly expression on his face. When this happened to him, it was as if all the sufferings of the first half of his life happened suddenly. Moreover, he was an indecisive person, so he found it even more difficult to make a decision.
"However, I told Lord Zhao in advance that Shen Lin must be used for experiments to study the usefulness of the artifact. By then, many people will be saved. Even so, it's just a matter of sacrificing her, a death row prisoner. Lord Zhao will not stop me, right?"
Zhao Changliu gritted his teeth and said, "...I dare not."
Yes, he doesn't dare.
Even if he wanted to save Chen Lin, he might not be able to do so. Even if he did, he couldn't escape. The meaning of Mo Congwu's words was very clear. There must be people watching him all around, so it would be very difficult for him to succeed.
And does Zhao Changliu really have no grievances against Chen Lin?
After all, no matter how picky Zhao's mother is about Shen Lin, her love for Zhao Changliu is real.
He grew up under the principle of filial piety.
"Then I will not embarrass Lord Zhao today. Tomorrow, I ask Lord Zhao to cooperate with me and let Chen Lin cooperate in researching the artifact."
Mo Congwu called him today just for this matter.
After he finished speaking, he walked into the prison.
Mo Congwu arranged for the death row prisoners to control the artifact one by one. Naturally, all of them were injured and no one succeeded.
Mo Congwu originally planned to let the death row prisoners control the artifact. Then he would kill the death row prisoners and know whether he could control the artifact. However, he didn't expect that no one succeeded.
Today's experiment naturally failed.
The next day, he brought Zhao Changliu and went into the cell to see Shen Lin in person.
Chen Lin's breath was already very weak. She had been poisoned by Zhou Jiaojiao, and her wounds had only been treated simply. She was wearing thick clothes, which were brought by Zhao Changliu.
She thought Zhao Changliu cared about her and could be used again.
So when she saw Zhao Changliu, she got up from the ground and grabbed his clothes: "Husband, save me, save me."
"Xiao Lin, this is Lord Mo Congwu." Zhao Changliu's expression froze for a moment.
Shen Lin paused, pulled his clothes tightly, and looked at Mo Congwu vigilantly.
Mo Congwu rolled his eyes: "What are you looking at me for? Didn't you promise to hand over the artifact and cooperate with us? Now is the time to cooperate with us."
"You control the artifact."
"Then tell us how to repair this artifact."
Shen Lin's voice was a little anxious: "Are you willing to return the space to me?"
"Eh? We all say it's a divine weapon, and you say it's space? Space... Space... What a good name. Why do you know it's called space?" Mo Congwu was rough but subtle, and there was a trap in his words. Chen Lin was too ill to notice.
She shook her head and said, "I don't know... I just called it space casually."
"Tell the truth, or don't blame me for torturing you. You are just not honest." Mo Congwu didn't know how many prisoners he had interrogated. Chen Lin was cruel, but she was not a deep-minded person, at least not at the moment.
She died before she had a chance to grow up.
Chen Lin felt a little jealous, subconsciously stepped back, and instinctively looked for Zhao Changliu for help.
Zhao Changliu lowered his head and said with a wry smile, "Xiao Lin, since you have already agreed, please cooperate with Master Mo. Otherwise, I will not be able to save you..."
Chen Lin was somewhat dissatisfied, but she also knew that Zhao Changliu was now useless. She hid her true emotions in her eyes and said, "This space was passed down from my grandmother. After I mastered it, the name of this space automatically popped up in my head, telling me how to use it... The method of use is also very simple. Just touch the object with your hand and it will be collected in its entirety."
Mo Congwu despised the nonsense she said. He had known about this for a long time.
"Why does the previous person have a headache when controlling the space?" Mo Congwu winked at Zhao Changliu, and Zhao Changliu squatted down and asked.
When Shen Lin heard this, she couldn’t help but look up at him: “Husband, how do you know that your head will hurt?”
"I saw you had a headache and you were in pain. The doctor told me about your condition. If I had known it would be like that, I wouldn't have taken the artifact away."
Shen Lin pursed her lips and narrowed her eyes: “I gave it to you on my own initiative, it’s nothing.”
"Then how can we avoid this headache? If the space remains in the military camp in the future, I'm afraid that many people will use it for each other, so this sequelae must be solved." Zhao Changliu frowned and thought.
Shen Lin looked at him, her eyes flashing: "I need to get the space to communicate with the consciousness of the space."
She wanted to take the space back.
Mo Congwu watched from the side, squinted his eyes, and nodded to an inconspicuous man next to him. The man closed his eyes, and after a long time, he finally opened his eyes. As his eyes lit up slightly, Mo Congwu walked out first.
The man whispered to him privately, "Master Mo, the space says that binding uses the consciousness of the person... which should mean neural consciousness. The method we tried before was actually forcible plundering. So whether it failed or succeeded, it was just a battle between two consciousnesses. So no matter who wins or loses, they will be traumatized."
"Besides that, the space is damaged and can only be used as simple storage, like a large bag. Nothing else is there. There's no answer to how to make it bigger or how to repair it."
"Hmm." Mo Congwu seemed to be thinking about something. When he walked back again, he asked the man to walk in front of Shen Lin.
Mo Congwu deliberately said in front of Shen Lin: “What you just said makes some sense. I asked him to try it, and it really worked. The space also said what’s going on.”
Chen Lin's face changed slightly. She didn't expect that her words would help Mo Congwu and the others. She felt even more unwilling.
"Now you take the space over, and then find a way to tell us how to control it in the future without causing any more headaches."
"Don't think you can take the space and not give it to us. Since you know that trying to control the space is like a fight between two people, are you sure you can win? On the contrary, if you cooperate with us to study this space, we can give you some rewards."
Shen Lin's escape route was blocked. She reluctantly nodded in agreement and quickly took control of the space again. But this time, her expression suddenly changed. She said, "There's something wrong with the space. It can't be expanded anymore."
