Chapter 1 Don't Talk, I'm BBQing
"Master, please spare me. I was forced...ah!"
The screams were deafening. Ye Xiaoman opened her heavy eyelids and the scene in front of her eyes became clear from blurry.
An interrogation area the size of a football field.
It was dim and the air was filled with the smell of blood.
Her hands were tied behind her back, and she was huddled in a corner with a group of people awaiting trial.
What's going on?
A memory that did not belong to Ye Xiaoman flooded into her mind like a tide.
The next second, Ye Xiaoman's face turned pale.
She traveled through the book.
She was transported into a novel about a male protagonist cultivating immortality that she had just read.
In her previous life, she lived in the apocalypse, struggling to survive under the clutches of zombies every day. She finally found a stable job tightening screws in a factory, but just after a few days of good life, she died in an accident.
When I opened my eyes again, I was here.
Her current body is also called Ye Xiaoman, and her current identity is an outer disciple of a sect of immortal cultivation.
Not long ago, the sect was attacked by the demons, and many disciples were lost. The sect's treasure was almost taken away. A great elder in the late Jindan stage sacrificed himself to protect the treasure, and the entire sect was shocked.
The sect leader ordered a thorough investigation and found out that the reason the demons were able to succeed so easily this time was because the sect was corrupted by the demons and many scums had colluded with them from within.
Thus, a major purge from top to bottom began.
All disciples suspected of collaborating with the enemy were taken to the Ministry of Punishment for interrogation.
I don’t know if others were panicking, but Ye Xiaoman was quite panicked.
Because the original body was one of the traitors.
The map of the outer gate was passed out by her personally.
There were only two people left in the group ahead of her, and soon it would be her turn to be put on the rack.
"Ah!" Another scream rang out.
In the open space right in front, an inner disciple who was in charge of the interrogation placed his palm on the top of the suspect's head with an expressionless face, and activated the soul-searching technique, searching the suspect's memory inside and out.
"traitor."
The inner sect disciple extracted a trace of memory from the suspect's head and used magic to project it into the air, which played like a TV screen, showing the scene of the suspect passing information to the demons in the inn.
The suspected disciple was unable to refute the facts and his face turned pale.
The monk in charge of the execution immediately dragged the suspected disciple aside, peeled off his bones and extracted his soul in public, and made a human soul lamp.
The soul will be roasted by the flames and tortured for a hundred years before it can be freed.
Traitors will never have a good death, no matter where they are.
The original body saw that there was no way to survive, so in order to die quickly, he swallowed the poison in advance.
Ye Xiaoman doesn't want to die.
Although she became cannon fodder after traveling through the book and her life was in turmoil, she cherished the opportunity to live again.
"System?" Ye Xiaoman shouted in anticipation, her hands shaking with excitement.
After waiting for a long time, I didn't hear the "ding" sound of the system going online, and no suspicious panel appeared in my mind.
There is no system in the book?
Divine gold!
Ye Xiaoman's mentality collapsed.
"Next, Ye Xiaoman."
The cold voice of the interrogator exploded in his ears.
Ye Xiaoman walked towards the execution platform with heavy steps.
Ye Xiaoman was born in the end of the world. Her parents abandoned her as soon as she was born. The kind-hearted person who adopted her died when she was six years old. She had to struggle at the bottom of society and support herself since she was a child.
Having experienced many ups and downs, he has a very strong psychological quality.
Even though he was walking towards his death step by step and was extremely panicked, he remained calm.
"Will you choose to confess and receive leniency, or will you deny it until your death?"
On the right, there was a row of more than a dozen freshly made human soul lamps. The souls being roasted in the wicks were wailing in pain. The light shone on the faces of the disciples being interrogated, and it was cold and eerie.
Ye Xiaoman was confused: "Huh?"
A harmless face, clear eyes, a sincere smile, standing obediently with his hands at his sides, just like an honest man who was innocently affected.
The disciple who was being interrogated was deceived by her appearance and was somewhat inclined to believe that she was innocent. His tone was much better than others, and he explained to her:
"Have you ever betrayed the sect? If so, confess in advance and provide intelligence about the enemy. This will allow you to redeem yourself and suffer less."
If you are not honest, you cannot escape the soul search.
Even if you are honest, you will still die.
It’s just the difference between the soul being tortured for 100 years and 50 years.
So, should we just confess?
It seems like there is no choice left...
Ye Xiaoman looked around, her brain frantically thinking of a countermeasure.
The disciple who was interrogating her became suspicious when he saw that Ye Xiaoman was dragging her feet. He raised his hand impatiently and was about to press it directly on her head to search her soul.
In the blink of an eye, a male disciple from the adjacent team was interrogated and released on the spot as an innocent person.
As he passed by Ye Xiaoman, his tense back finally relaxed.
With sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, his facial features are as outstanding as if beautified - with such a high appearance, he must be an important character in the novel.
Ye Xiaoman tentatively called out a name: "Xiao Chujing?"
The male disciple looked over in confusion, and the hand of the disciple who was interrogating him stopped.
The bet was right!
A bold plan instantly formed in Ye Xiaoman's mind.
Xiao Chujing is the protagonist of this immortal cultivation novel. He is the main male protagonist and possesses a golden finger that defies the heavens.
Although he is still an inconspicuous disciple now, he will soon become the light of righteousness, fight monsters, level up, and collect beauties. As the most dazzling man in the world of cultivation, he will be admired by thousands of people.
"It's you?" Xiao Chujing recognized Ye Xiaoman and frowned.
After being saved once by Xiao Chujing in the mortal world, the original body fell deeply in love with Xiao Chujing.
The reason why he joined the Qingzheng Sect was because Xiao Chujing was a disciple of this sect.
Originally, she had five inferior spiritual roots and was rejected by the sect. She sold the land in her hometown and spent all her money to bribe the elders, and was able to enter the sect through the back door.
In order to raise money, he was targeted by the demons and accepted their sponsorship, thus becoming an undercover agent of the demons.
During her three years as emperor, she was bullied. Not only did Xiao Chujing never even look at her, but she also lost her life in the end.
In short, this is a case of the dog that licks the boot.
"Senior Brother Xiao Chujing, long time no see." Ye Xiaoman ignored Xiao Chujing's unfriendly look and approached him with a smile on her face.
Interrogating a disciple: "This is not the place for idle chat!"
Ye Xiaoman: "Interrogate Senior Brother, I am loyal to the sect and will never betray you."
The interrogating disciple raised his eyebrows, "Tell me what you did on the sixth day of the fifth lunar month?"
There is only one suspicion against Ye Xiaoman. A disciple reported that he saw her meeting with someone who looked like a demon in the back mountain on the sixth day of May.
Xiao Chujing was about to leave when he heard Ye Xiaoman say from behind: "Xiao Chujing, I'm with Senior Brother Xiao."
Xiao Chujing turned around suddenly, "You!"
He immediately denied it, "Nonsense, I didn't see you that day."
"Oh?" The interrogating disciple's eyes moved between them with interest, and his gaze towards Xiao Chujing turned cold.
Ye Xiaoman continued to smile and continued to make up stories without changing her expression, "It's normal that Senior Brother Xiao didn't notice me, because I was secretly following you... That day, you went to see Grandmaster Ling Xiao, right?"
Xiao Chujing suddenly remembered something and his eyes twitched.
Ye Xiaoman caught the change in his expression.
With his reaction, she will definitely be able to walk out of here alive today.
Sorry, my dear hero, this is a matter of life and death, I can only rely on your luck.
