Chapter 26: Torture
*BAM*
As Chi Lang approached the supposedly lifeless Eiji lying on the ground, Eiji suddenly launched a surprise attack. Unprepared for this, he took a punch to the chest, and his body was thrown, crashing into the wall for the third time.
With the previous injuries, Chi Lang couldn't immediately get up.
"Hah Hah Hah.... Cough Cough Cough..."
Struggling to keep his body stable, Eiji breathed heavily, coughing up a lot of blood. The Inverted Spear of Heaven was still in his chest, preventing him from using any Cursed Techniques.
The reason he survived was that the other failed to pierce his heart. In the last moment, Eiji knew he didn't have time to dodge the Inverted Spear of Heaven, so he shifted its direction slightly away from his heart.
"Ugh..."
Gritting his teeth to endure the pain, Eiji pulled out the Inverted Spear of Heaven.
After successfully removing the Inverted Spear of Heaven completely, he discarded it to the ground and quickly activated the Reverse Cursed Technique.
In an instant, the wound on his chest healed without leaving a trace. Only bloodstains and tattered clothes remained.
"Huft. That was close."
Wiping the blood from his mouth, Eiji spat on the ground.
*Crush-Bang*
The sound of metal cracking followed by something shattering could be heard.
Turning towards the source of the sound, he saw the Inverted Spear of Heaven on the ground shattered into pieces. Seeing this, Eiji frowned.
"The Inverted Spear of Heaven shouldn't be too fragile. Also, the Inverted Spear of Heaven was destroyed by Satoru Nii-san."
Due to its ability to nullify all Cursed Techniques, even one as powerful as Limitless, it was a counter-weapon against Limitless. That's why Satoru destroyed it in the past.
"So, there's only one explanation... It's a replica of the Inverted Spear of Heaven."
Eiji was 80% sure of his speculation.
"Ughm...."
Hearing the groans of pain reminded Eiji that there was someone else.
He appeared in front of Chi Lang, who was still lying in a pile of rubble, and his condition didn't allow him to continue the fight.
"Did you plan all of this?" Eiji asked coldly.
He didn't believe all of this was a coincidence.
The most convincing thing was that he didn't sense the presence of the man hiding underground.
Remember, the Six Eyes could even sense someone's Cursed Energy from a few kilometers away!
"Ptui. Don't expect me to talk."
Chi Lang glared angrily at Eiji and spat, but the saliva stopped in midair because Infinity was activated again.
"Interrogation isn't my expertise; I hope you're willing to cooperate." Eiji sighed.
"You won't get any information from me." Chi Lang said cynically with a mocking grin.
"Then there's no other choice."
Eiji squatted, grabbed Chi Lang's intact hand, and broke his index finger.
"Argghhhhh!!! You damn bastard! I'll kill you!!!"
Chi Lang writhed like a worm, feeling the sharp and piercing pain.
"Tell me, who's the other man?" Eiji asked.
"Son of a bitch!" Chi Lang cursed, his eyes filled with burning hatred.
"Wrong answer."
"Arghhhhh!!!"
Chi Lang screamed again as Eiji broke his other fingers.
"Fuck fuck fuck! Motherfuckers!"
"Arghhhhh!!!"
In that abandoned factory, the agonizing scream of a man echoed, worse than a slaughtered pig.
If an ordinary person heard this, they would turn around and run as fast as they could.
"Your mental fortitude is quite impressive."
After breaking all the fingers on Chi Lang's hand, Eiji hadn't received any information because the other party stubbornly refused to open his mouth.
"Ha ha ha ha... It's useless, no matter how you torture me, I won't tell you anything. Let the conspirators keep sending assassins. You'll never live in peace, and one day, you'll die a gruesome death, Kamiki Eiji."
Chi Lang's eyes were filled with madness. In his mind, there was nothing but hatred towards Eiji.
"Haaa... This is troublesome."
Eiji sighed, then stood up, lifting his foot towards Chi Lang's groin.
"W-What are you going to do?" Chi Lang's voice trembled seeing this.
"Isn't there a job in China called 'casim'? I'll let you become one of them."
Eiji said calmly, showing no change in his expression.
Lifting his foot, he was about to step on Chi Lang's groin.
"Wait! I'll tell you everything!"
Under the threat of emasculation, Chi Lang surrendered.
Eiji stopped his foot just a few centimeters from the other's groin.
"If you cooperate, work with me. You won't go through all this trouble."
"Hmph!"
Chi Lang glared but didn't object.
Eiji didn't mind his coarse attitude; he repeated his question.
"First question, who's the other man?"
"His name is Okazaki Isamu, I don't know much about him. The reason you didn't sense his presence is due to his Cursed Technique, Concealment, which allows him to hide perfectly."
"Three days ago, Okazaki came to me and invited me to participate in the attempt to kill you. At first, I refused his offer. After all, I had no way to penetrate your Limitless. However, he showed me the Inverted Spear of Heaven and guaranteed the success of this plan. My task was to divert your attention, and he hid underground, waiting for the right moment to ambush you when you were defenseless."
"That's all I know."
"..."
Eiji was accustomed to assassination attempts. Moreover, in the dark forums, his life was one of the most expensive, second only to his cousin's.
In the face of that amount of money, there were always daring people trying to kill him.
"In the end, the origin of the replica Inverted Spear of Heaven remains a mystery."
Turning around, Eiji looked at the headless corpse on the ground. He slightly regretted killing him too quickly. But in such a critical situation, he didn't have time to think clearly and retaliated fiercely.
"Good job; it's time to send you off."
Hearing that, Chi Lang's eyes widened, and he angrily shouted, "I've told you everything; you're breaking your promise!"
"No. I never promised to let you live; that was your assumption."
Eiji didn't lie; he only said it to not destroy Chi Lang's manhood.
"You—"
Before Chi Lang could curse, his body was engulfed in flames. In a matter of seconds, his body was burnt to a crisp and left no residue.
Eiji also did the same to the other man. He burned him without leaving a trace. Then, his gaze fell on the shards of the Inverted Spear of Heaven.
After contemplating for a moment, he decided to burn the shards of the Inverted Spear of Heaven as well.
He didn't want anyone to exploit the shards of the Inverted Spear of Heaven to create another replica.
"I can't go for a stroll in this appearance."
Seeing how disheveled his appearance was, Eiji lost interest in going out. Therefore, he decided to teleport to the Gojo Family Residence.
The servants witnessing his appearance, were astonished.
Eiji didn't explain anything; he instructed one of the servants to prepare hot water and new clothes. Then, he took a bath and cleaned the dried blood from his body.
