Chapter 250 Forty-four Gachapon
Rum is a cautious guy, this needs to be emphasized again and again.
Because of caution, even Curacao, Rum's nominally most important deputy, has never actually met Rum a few times. Rum does not appear with the same face every time. Even she does not know what Rum looks like, let alone other members of the organization except Curacao.
Even when it was Toru Amuro, when he spoke to Rum, he could only hear an electronic voice that was disguised and distorted.
It is precisely this excessive caution that allows Rum to remain alive and well even though the organization is weak, and not be captured directly by any intelligence agency.
Chi Jiang Na Yue understood his caution. He could judge that when he was talking, Rum himself was not behind the wall, but was just watching through the video link.
But after he said those words, Rum must be rushing to this dungeon now... After all, he is a guy who has worked under that old man Karasuma Renya for decades.
It is hard to say who between Rum and Akae Nazuki knows Karasuma Renya's methods better, but what is certain is that Rum knows that Karasuma Renya has many special methods to control his useful subordinates.
Therefore, Rum would probably trust the information he got from him more than the results of his subordinates' interrogation. Akajnana and Rum also knew in their hearts that the so-called interrogation was just a means to exhaust his physical and mental strength.
It doesn't matter.
Chi Jiang Na Yue was absent-minded: If he hadn't provoked me like this, how could Rum have taken the bait so easily? He was too lazy to look for an ugly old orange in the base.
As he expected, in the monitoring room behind the wall of the dungeon, the bald old man who had hurried over was staring gloomily at the screen in front of him, and then stared at the black-haired young man on the wall for a while.
Having been controlled by that man for so many years, Kaluuya's ability to endure is probably very strong. Simple torture cannot destroy this person's mental defenses. The person in charge must increase the intensity.
He thought that even if he still couldn't break Kalua's spirit, it would be best to prevent that guy from continuing to provoke people.
As for intelligence? Even if Kaluya only had one breath left, Rum would have plenty of ways to pry open his mouth.
Out of caution, there were no other subordinates in the monitoring room. The only door on the surface was connected to the corridor of the dungeon. The entrance and exit were guarded by Rum's men, but in fact, there was also a secret door here, which could directly lead from the monitoring room into the dungeon, which could be regarded as the best viewing seat. "Go." He calmly gave orders to his subordinates in the dungeon.
Rum's strength lies in intelligence. His ability in interrogation is not very outstanding, but now he only needs to torture Kaluya in the flesh, and this goal is easier to achieve than any other.
...This is what Rum thought before his men started to move.
Not long after the interrogation began, the subordinate closest to Kaluya suddenly stepped back a few steps as if he had discovered something horrible, a look of astonishment appeared on his face, and his hands, which had been shaking, trembled and jumped away.
If the dagger in his hand had not been pierced through Kalua's palm and nailed to the wall, the subordinate might have lost control of his weapon and dropped it on the ground.
"What's going on!?" Rum moved closer to the screen, zoomed in on the surveillance footage of the black-haired young man, and shouted in dissatisfaction, "What are you doing?"
Kaluya on the electronic screen was lowering his head. Rum couldn't see his expression, but it didn't prevent him from analyzing Kaluya's situation.
The shirt on his upper body had quickly been stained red by blood. Through the gap in the cloth that had just been cut, Rum could still vaguely see the skin underneath that was already covered with scars. Kaluya's chest rose and fell slightly, and even though the wounds were maliciously disturbed and turned into a bloody mess, there was no sound, only the exposed skin turned a little paler due to blood loss.
"Lord Rum..." The subordinate tried hard to suppress the fear in his voice, "His wound is healing...!"
Perhaps to prove his words, the subordinate hurriedly took a few steps forward with fear and pulled out the dagger from Kaluya's palm.
Rum watched helplessly as the penetrating wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. After dozens of seconds, the blood scab fell off automatically, and only a light pink scar, which had obviously just healed, remained on the palm of his hand.
Kaluya panted, looked up as if he could accurately catch Rum's sight through the screen, and gave him a subtle smile, with a few drops of his own blood on his originally clean face.
Rum stared at the person on the screen without blinking, and his breathing became more rapid.
He seemed to understand something, about why Kaluya was still trusted by that gentleman even though he possessed such powerful strength, and why he became that gentleman's confidant.
In the bright monitoring room, the face with traces of time could not help showing a greedy and eager expression. This was not a healing speed that ordinary people could have. Maybe what the gentleman had been pursuing had come true in [Kaluya].
Rejuvenation? Time travel? It doesn't matter. As long as he studies based on Kalua, he will be able to get those things!
if only……
"Go on." Rum said coldly, with no intention of disguising the excitement in his voice. "You, find his limit for me, don't stop and waste my time! Timeismoney!"
Didn't Kaluya want to see what he had? What a coincidence, he also wanted to see what other surprises Kaluya could bring him.
"Yes, yes, don't stop." The first voice suddenly rang out in the monitoring room, with a smile of arrogance in the words, "If you think you can find my limit after going this far, it's too naive, isn't it?"
On the table behind Rum, the uninvited guest was sitting with his legs crossed, holding a pack of matcha green biscuit sticks in his hand. He tore open the package and ate the snacks nonchalantly, as if he was watching Rum's sinister grin as a performance.
Or rather, he was actually watching the show.
If Rum turned around, he would find that the man sitting behind him, eating snacks and watching the show, had the same face as the man being interrogated in the dungeon. If he looked more closely, he would find that even their body shapes and clothes were exactly the same.
Of course, because to be precise, the one who is now in the same room with Rum is the real Akae Nayue.
Akae Nazuki clapped her hands and patted the biscuit crumbs on the ground. She then stared at the matcha sauce that accidentally stained her fingertips for a few seconds before she took out a piece of paper and wiped it clean with a look of regret.
Actually, I really want to lick it, after all, it is a new product only in this world, but if Hiro finds out when I go back, he will catch me and scold me again...
"He looks like he's gone insane, Rum." Chi Jiang Na Yue changed the subject as if nothing had happened and sighed, "His expression is exactly the same as the one the old man had when he first saw my wound heal. Is Rum really not the old man's illegitimate son?"
[Shu] couldn't help but say weakly: [...Xiaohong, don't you think this is a bit too arrogant? ]
He simply didn't know what to say.
When Rum's men entered the dungeon, Akajinazuki was still in the same position. However, the moment Rum's eyes moved away from the surveillance to rush to the monitoring room, he unlocked the door with a snap of his fingers like his teacher and escaped easily from the wall.
No way, no way, does anyone really think that there is a lock in this world that can trap Dazai Osamu and his only direct disciple?
As for why I waited until that time to get rid of it...it was easier, that's it.
Although it is possible to use Junichiro's special ability to create the illusion that Kalua is being tortured for Rum's group of unlucky subordinates, the problem is that this special ability cannot deceive the machine for too long, so Akajinazuki is taking advantage of the few seconds of time difference that Rum cannot see.
After being freed from the chains, he did not forget to hypnotize the unlucky people around him while looking at each other, making them think that nothing had happened. Then, under the cover of hallucination, he tied up the doll that was made to look exactly like himself in the same way.
The puppet Akae Nazuki, who was only released at such times, couldn't help but make a gesture to the main body from an angle that only the main body could see, indicating that it needed to be blocked, to express her anger.
The original body pretended not to see it and ran into the monitoring room where Rum was.
Then it was just as Rum saw. The tortured Kalua exposed his inhuman recovery ability, which was equivalent to exposing his identity as a former experimental subject in front of Rum, successfully arousing Rum's interest.
And Chijiang Nayue naturally chose to openly block Rum's perception of herself and enjoy the scene she directed from the real best viewing seat.
Facing the words of the book, Chi Jiang Na Yue hesitated for a moment: "Will it be? Am I already very restrained?"
He said righteously: "I didn't even let Rum perform the pigeon-toed lady's trick... No, it's so disgusting, I want to vomit." Chi Jiang Na Yue stuck out her tongue, her face full of disgust.
After dealing with Fukuchi Sakura's infatuation in the main world, Book's mood has been very high. He finally secretly lifted the ban and told Akae Nazuki some stories from other world lines after Dazai Osamu chose to defect. That's why Akae Nazuki only found out earlier that his teacher had done such a thing as sending himself to a dungeon in another world.
As for why he didn't stay inside, but instead let the puppets and illusions take the stage while he watched the show leisurely here.
Chijiang Nayue had very legitimate reasons for this.
Nonsense, he couldn't really accept the interrogation, could he? Even though he always skipped classes when the teacher taught him how to interrogate, he was the only one who interrogated others.
Especially being interrogated by Rum, ha, how embarrassing! I will be laughed at by the teacher when I go out!
"Besides, those interrogation tools look dirty, I don't want them." Chijiang Nayue commented, "Does the organization not even have the money to clean the interrogation tools? How pitiful, Rum."
Even Book, who had his filter fully drawn towards his own savior, was speechless: Who could have caused Rum to be so miserable?
"Come to think of it, I have to thank Rum later." Chijiang Nayue bit a cookie stick with a relaxed look, "Thanks to him, the last part of the detective's memory has also returned, so lucky~"
Thanks to the greed that Rum shared with Karasuma Renya at that moment, as well as the expression of desire to get something from Kalua, Akae Nazuki was sorting out the last fragments of memory that popped up in her mind while watching the show.
As he expected, Kalua's fundamental purpose of blowing up the laboratory and base seven years ago was never to work for the public security, but to destroy all experimental data related to Kalua himself, Vermode and Cherry Brandy.
Finally, everything was done, and Kalua found Karasuma Renya and died together with her. Before he blew himself up, he remembered those friends who almost melted the ice on him, so he kindly passed on a lot of information about the organization to the public security.
Chijiang Nayue held her chin in her hands and sighed softly.
Come on, Mr. Zero of this world, melt Kalua's ice completely as soon as possible so that his mission can be completed sooner.
