Chapter 268 Chapter 268
The list was pried out of the woman's mouth. When the scarecrow was first restored, Du Yi wanted to ask her something, but the woman insisted not to say anything, and even planned to negotiate conditions with Du Yi, asking Du Yi to represent the Weird Response Department to make a deal with the Denghuo Organization and rescue Qin Xiaocao from her hands, otherwise she would not say a word. She also said that she had only two children who were sent out to be sold, and she also had clues to trick innocent students to go abroad. One minute later means one less chance of rescue. The following words clearly sounded like conditions, but they sounded more and more like threats.
Du Yi's face turned black after hearing these words, but he couldn't do anything about it.
As a public official, Du Yi cannot use torture to extract confessions.
But Mangtao and Qin Xiaocao can.
When the woman was proudly saying that she was a key witness and asking for a reduced sentence and good treatment, Mang Tao held her head and pinned her to the floor.
"Noisy." Mang Tao said.
Qin Xiaocao smiled and walked forward to grab the woman's fingers, twisting them one by one: "You are my doll now, and dolls must be obedient, understand? I have agreed to the deal, do you have the right to not say it if you want to?"
His own doll was so disobedient, how embarrassing for him. Not to mention it made the little leader angry.
"You don't have to tell me. You won't survive long in my hands anyway. It wouldn't be bad to drag a bunch of people into hell." Qin Xiaocao looked down at the woman who was sweating from the pain. "I heard about the ten tortures in ancient China. They seem to be fun. Shall we try them? Let's see how tough you are?"
Some ways of living are worse than death.
"The Ten Tortures can easily kill you." Mang Tao took out a bottle of red medicine. "It's okay. I have this. I have as much as you can get. You can be saved if you only have one breath left."
"Leader, you have thought it through very carefully. Let's start by killing him with a thousand cuts." Qin Xiaocao said with a smile.
He used a paring knife to shave off one of the woman's hands.
The skin was peeled cleanly, leaving only the flesh inside. The woman started begging for mercy when one of her fingers was cut off, but Qin Xiaocao and Mangtao seemed to be addicted to the game and turned a deaf ear to them. Later, the woman even wailed while confessing and promised to say everything she could, and Qin Xiaocao and Mangtao stopped.
Du Yi was stunned. His mind went blank and he even forgot the pain of his fractured chest until Mang Tao glanced at him. Then he remembered to remember the list and clues.
"Remember to be obedient next time, okay?" Qin Xiaocao stroked the hair of the woman who was kneeling and crying, soothing her gently, but his eyes were full of coldness. He whispered in the woman's ear, "If you make me lose face in front of the leader again, I will tear you apart alive."
The woman nodded fearfully, and her smug look just now disappeared.
Then he was turned into a scarecrow by Qin Xiaocao again.
He wanted to make good use of the doll he had obtained with great difficulty before burning it.
"Little leader, where are we going~~" Qin Xiaocao hooked the straw doll's palm with one finger and circled around Mangtao excitedly.
"Let me think about it." Mang Tao pointed at her chin with her finger and looked up to think.
If you ignore the blood stains on the ground and the peeler stained with flesh in Qin Xiaocao's other hand, this picture can really be considered innocent.
It’s a pity that Du Yi will not be deceived again. These two children are devils.
After getting the complete list, Du Yi suddenly realized that Mang Tao could have used his ability to induce the woman to reveal the clues herself, but he chose the most cruel method.
Du Yi returned to his room with the name list, not daring to look at the two strange children any longer. He wanted to report the name list information as soon as possible and took a sip of the healing potion provided by the headquarters.
Here, Mang Tao opened the system map interface and searched for high-risk and strange tasks.
"Host, there are no high-level monsters in China, and even if there are, they have been divided up." The salvation system said, "But there are places in Ross that need the host's attention."
"Um?"
"This system has detected strange fluctuations there. It may be a strange area." The salvation system added, "But judging from the appearance, it doesn't look like a strange area in this world."
Mang Tao: "Not from this world?"
"It may be that the weirdness of other worlds has come to this world through the nodes." The salvation system said, "This kind of thing has happened in previous worlds. The weirdness of other worlds will cause the world's walls to shake, causing 0.001S of disorder in space and time. This system has encountered this situation many times in other worlds, and it is very familiar."
"...It came too quickly. Are there any negative effects from the strange appearance of the outside world?"
"As for the incident itself, there is nothing special." The voice of the salvation system is full of worry. "But according to the experience of this system, when the first external anomaly comes, such things will become more and more frequent in the future, and even the anomaly domain will become more and more. Until this world is filled with anomalies and all species in this world die out, it will be the end of the world."
"That sounds terrible. Isn't there a way to completely eradicate it?"
“Hmm.”
"Okay, I got it."
"But the solution to the monster domain is the same. As long as the host solves the monster core, even if it is a monster domain from the outside, it will be completely destroyed." The salvation system said hurriedly, "Don't worry too much, host. The first monster that descends will definitely not be a high-level monster. As long as the host follows what this system said before and cleans up the monsters in this world in time, it will not be so easy for S-level monsters to appear. As long as S-level monsters and above do not appear, the host's ability can protect this world."
"People can't always rely on luck." Mang Tao said with a gloomy face.
Salvation System: ...
That's true.
Qin Xiaocao tilted her head and looked at Mang Tao: "Leader?"
"It's okay, let's go to Ross Country." Mang Tao said, "Let's go and see the strange world outside."
"Oh oh." Qin Xiaocao didn't care where it was. As long as he could go out and play with his original body, he would feel happy.

Yilama City, northern Xinjiang, Northwest China.
On the desolate Gobi beach, a man in white clothes walked forward against the wind and sand. The sky was getting darker and darker. Because there was no light, the starry sky above was particularly bright.
"Hmm..." The paper man rubbed his lips with his fingers, wiping away some sand and dirt. "System, how far am I from the city?"
The rescue system did not answer immediately, but delayed for about three seconds before replying: "At your current speed, it will take about another half an hour."
"Is the direction correct?"
"Wait a minute... Ah, yes, the direction is correct." The salvation system replied.
The paper man smiled. He walked to the side, chose a flat place to sit down, and looked up at the sky which was getting darker and darker. He slowly lay down, put his hands behind his head, and watched the stars in the sky gradually brighten.
"You delayed three seconds before answering the first question. You even needed confirmation before telling me the second question." The paper man raised his lips, "Is our original body using the leader's vest to cause trouble again? And is he doing something important? Otherwise, with your efficiency, you wouldn't delay in responding to me, because you paid more attention to the original body. He is the only one who would occupy so much of your attention."
Salvation System: ...
How should it answer?
"Can't tell?" The paper figure laughed. "You always say that I am one with the original body, but you clearly distinguish who is the master and who is the subordinate."
Salvation System: ...
"Of course I'm not complaining. The original body is the most important. I'm just his soul." The paper man sat up and put his hand on his chest. "A small piece of the vest's soul will always be attracted to the main soul. We are a part of him, and he will never betray us."
"I understand that people do shameful things and have little secrets that they don't even want to tell themselves." The paper man put his hand on his chin and changed the subject, "But the premise is that you don't secretly play with other souls behind my back. This makes me a little sad, as if I've been left out."
The salvation system whispered, "You don't really care that much, do you?"
"No, I care. Everyone has jealousy and possessiveness, and I was supposed to be the first, wasn't I?" the paper man said. "I'm very sad."
Savior System: Yes, the paper man is the host’s first avatar, and it is also the avatar whose split soul has been away from the main soul for the longest time.
But looking at the smiling face of the paper man, it is hard to tell that he is sad about being ignored.
Instead, there is a hint of mischievous expression on his face, as if he wants to cause trouble.
"Ah~~ I was working so hard to eliminate the weirdness in the world because of the original body's order, just to save the world for him." The paper man sighed, "but he left me behind to go play with others."
"Well... the host is going to do serious work."
"Oh, you don't dispute that he was with someone else?"
Salvation System: ...
Host! Your vest is becoming more and more difficult to deal with! !
Especially this paper man!!
"With whom? It shouldn't be Tong, because they have been on a mission together. That guy showed off a lot." The paper man counted on his fingers, "Bai Yixin contacted me half a day ago and took the strange object from me as a commodity. If he hadn't been willing to exchange it with points, I wouldn't have given it to him. Faceless Child? That guy is still in the Weird Response Department. Ha, he is completely locked up there. Anyway, she is having a lot of fun, so it doesn't matter."
"Kairette or the cocoon? They don't have the nerve to look for the original body. But the one who is most likely to cause trouble is still Qin Xiaocao." The paper man asked, "System, where is Qin Xiaocao?"
The salvation system remained silent.
"Yes, it is indeed him." The paper man said, "How did he stick to it? The original body issued an order some time ago. That guy must not leave the southwest region. He dared not to. He happened to meet the original body on a mission in the southwest region? You want me to ask Qingtong from the Weird Response Department what mission he has received recently and whether he has gone to the southwest region?"
"Paper man, the host will be angry if you do this."
"You guessed it right." The paper figurine smiled, "Then tell me honestly, where did they go?"
The salvation system remained silent.
"Okay, you're very obedient." The paper man stood up. "At least tell me the direction, and I'll look for it myself. If I meet her, it's my luck. If I don't, I won't make a fuss. How about that? Otherwise, I can only tell all the other aliases about the 'relationship between the original body and Qin Xiaocao'. Believe me, there must be someone willing to go with me to look for her."
"Northeast."
"Northeast... that's Mobei and Ross." The paper man smiled, "System, thank you very much."
The salvation system is about to cry.
