章節 201: Chapter 201: Don't be scared, I was just pretending
Lin Fan and Old Zhang were both dumbfounded by Wu Jiu.
They were just passing by.
But they encountered a guy with mental problems. It was quite frightening.
They wanted to go home.
The demonic rooster felt like it had done something it shouldn't have.
It was very strange.
But what exactly was the problem?
It couldn't say for sure at the moment.
Outside.
Many demonic creatures collectively entered a state of bewilderment the moment the berserk potion wore off.
The three existential questions arose:
Who am I?
Where am I?
What am I doing?
That's right.
The collectively bewildered demonic creatures couldn't understand what was happening. They had been hiding their identities, living amongst humans, acting as cute and adorable pets.
Some had already gotten used to it.
Some didn't want to die.
The moment they recovered, they all transformed back into their adorable pet forms, flashing to hidden places to hide. With their level of strength, daring to cause trouble in Yanhai City was simply courting death.
Wouldn't it be better to hide and enjoy life among humans?
Why come out and fight head-on?
Something's wrong with their brains.
Tonight was a long night.
Clang!
Inside the interrogation room.
The tough Gao Xiong hadn't said a word. Even though the other party's words were incredibly sweet and the offered benefits were heartbreaking, he hadn't uttered a single word.
As a member of the Shadow Society, he had absolute responsibility and conviction.
He would remain tight-lipped, vowing to never speak.
A sound came.
Gao Xiong looked at the other person in astonishment. He didn't expect Wu Jiu to be brought in. Wu Jiu's current appearance was miserable. He was carried in, paralyzed from the waist down, wailing, "Help me first, look at my back first."
"What's going on?"
He couldn't accept this reality. It felt like a dream.
A scene flashed through his mind.
The Shadow Society came to rescue him, but they were caught by the special department. Perhaps that was really the case, otherwise it simply didn't make sense.
Sigh!
Gao Xiong was truly touched.
The organization hadn't abandoned him.
They even sent people to rescue him. Although they failed, he would always remember this kindness. It made his previous suicide attempt, where he nearly died but was saved, worthwhile.
If...
If he knew that the two people the organization sent were trying to kill him, perhaps his heart would be even more broken.
One-Eyed Man glanced at Gao Xiong and walked over to Wu Jiu.
If one side wouldn't talk, they'd interrogate the other.
They would eventually get something out of someone.
Gao Xiong remained silent. From the moment he was captured until now, he hadn't spoken a word.
One-Eyed Man stood in front of Wu Jiu, who was slumped in the chair, and asked, "Shadow Society, right?"
"Can you please look at my back first? I really have no feeling," Wu Jiu pleaded pathetically. He was willing to talk, which, in One-Eyed Man's view, was a good start.
"No rush," One-Eyed Man smiled.
Wu Jiu said, "Can we not ask so many questions right now? You've caught him, you should have already interrogated him, why ask me?"
"I'm telling the truth, I need to have my back checked. Please call a skilled medical expert to look at it for me."
He was very confused.
He still couldn't figure out what was going on.
He kicked the other person's head, his ankle cracked. He used a scissor leg takedown, directly breaking his own back. Damn it, how could this happen?
One-Eyed Man felt he could get what he wanted from Wu Jiu.
Because he talked enough.
"You're from the Shadow Society, right?" One-Eyed Man asked knowingly, but it was a necessary question. Hearing the other party admit it personally was the most important thing.
Wu Jiu looked up and said, "I'm saying, please can you go and get…"
Before he could finish speaking…
One-Eyed Man grabbed the back of Wu Jiu's head and slammed his face into the metal table.
Bang!
The sound was loud.
Wu Jiu's nose was bleeding, blood flowing freely.
The flesh was even exposed.
"What are you doing?" Wu Jiu looked at One-Eyed Man in disbelief.
They were talking just fine.
Then he suddenly attacked.
This was something he couldn't understand at all.
Then he looked at Gao Xiong and found that his face was unscathed, completely fine. He had been captured by the special department for several days without any problems. Why was he being tortured as soon as he arrived?
One-Eyed Man grabbed Wu Jiu's hair and pulled his head back, his expression stern. "I'm asking you, are you a member of the Shadow Society or not?"
"I…"
Bang!
One-Eyed Man slammed Wu Jiu's head down again. His head bounced back up like it had a spring, only to be caught again by One-Eyed Man, who held his long hair.
One-Eyed Man lowered his head and stared into his eyes. "I'm asking you a question."
Wu Jiu was stunned by this series of actions.
You should at least give me a chance to speak.
I was just about to talk, but you suddenly slammed my head down. This makes things very difficult for me.
And at this moment…
Just as he was about to speak…
One-Eyed Man stuck his thumb into Wu Jiu's mouth, probing around inside, searching for something. After a moment, he didn't find a poison capsule, so he withdrew his finger and wiped it on Wu Jiu's clothes.
Wu Jiu hadn't hidden any poison in his mouth.
He wasn't as crazy as Gao Xiong. He was living a good life, who would want to die?
For Wu Jiu, this action by One-Eyed Man almost made him vomit. It felt very strange. Can you imagine the feeling of having a foreign object in your mouth?
And it was even moving around.
It was truly disgusting.
"Heh, is this how you interrogate me? Do you know who I am…" Wu Jiu licked the blood flowing from his nose, revealing a twisted smile. But his smile didn't last long before something that made him despair happened.
One-Eyed Man grabbed Wu Jiu's head…
And repeatedly smashed it against the metal table.
Without stopping, a continuous barrage.
The members standing there appeared expressionless, but their hearts were in turmoil. It was a bit intense, a bit ferocious. They hadn't expected their leader to have such a violent side.
It was astonishing.
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes…
Who would believe it?
They were very curious. Why did he act so violently towards this one, but not towards the other one at all?
Could their leader be judging based on looks?
Was he being so harsh because Wu Jiu looked too creepy?
They had no idea that One-Eyed Man simply felt that Wu Jiu would talk. After all, Gao Xiong dared to take poison, showing he had already put life and death aside. Torture wouldn't work on him.
Wu Jiu didn't have any poison hidden in his mouth, meaning he valued his life.
To get useful information from him, he just needed to be brutally abused, to make him feel that death was a real possibility. He would become afraid, and then he would say anything he was asked.
"Stop hitting me, I'll talk…"
Wu Jiu roared, but even so, One-Eyed Man didn't let go, continuing to slam his head against the metal table.
Boom!
Boom!
Blood covered his entire face. During the violent impacts, blood even splattered out, covering the surrounding area.
A moment later.
One-Eyed Man pulled out a chair with a flourish and sat down, crossing his legs, looking at the other person with amusement.
"Now, I'll ask you questions, and you'll answer them. If you don't cooperate, I won't bother asking you anything else."
The surrounding members felt a chill.
So their leader was also terrifying.
"Are you members of the Shadow Society?" One-Eyed Man asked.
"Yes," Wu Jiu replied obediently.
"What are you here for?"
"I'm here to rescue him."
"Then what is he doing here?" One-Eyed Man pointed at Gao Xiong, wanting to know what Gao Xiong's purpose was in appearing in the Yanhai City suburbs, or what he intended to do.
Wu Jiu shook his head. "I don't know."
"Hmm?" One-Eyed Man raised his voice, sounding angry.
Wu Jiu hurriedly said, "I really don't know. Shadow Society members don't contact each other. Each mission is kept confidential. How would I know what he's doing here? The mission I received was to cooperate with He Mu to rescue him."
Looking at Wu Jiu's eyes, One-Eyed Man knew he wasn't lying. Otherwise, his eyes would have shifted.
The appearance of the Shadow Society made One-Eyed Man uneasy.
This kind of organization operated in the underworld, making it difficult to understand. If they also existed to combat demonic creatures, then he could accept whatever they wanted to do. But now he felt that the Shadow Society wasn't an organization that existed to fight demonic creatures.
Otherwise, how could tonight's events be explained?
"Where are your headquarters?" One-Eyed Man asked.
"I don't know."
"Where is your branch?"
"I don't know."
"Then what do you know?" One-Eyed Man roared.
His aura when angry was terrifying, causing Wu Jiu to shrink back. Even his own members were frightened by their leader's rage. Could they say they had never seen their leader so furious?
Usually, their leader seemed very amicable, occasionally showing off, and they would wholeheartedly praise him.
But the current leader made them afraid.
Wu Jiu cowered, saying timidly, "I don't even know what I know."
Hearing this, One-Eyed Man wanted to slap Wu Jiu to death, but at least he now knew that the Shadow Society existed.
"How do you contact headquarters?" One-Eyed Man asked.
Wu Jiu said, "I can't contact headquarters, I can only wait for them to issue missions."
Hidden very deep.
And their control over their members was very strong.
One-Eyed Man knew Wu Jiu was telling the truth, but the key question was, how much was he not saying?
He pondered something.
Why did the Shadow Society's president die at the entrance of the special department's headquarters?
What was the relationship between the Shadow Society and the demonic creatures?
Were there Shadow Society members within their headquarters?
He wanted to know the answers to all these questions.
He had previously suspected there were traitors within their headquarters. Now, knowing about the Shadow Society, he felt those traitors were very likely Shadow Society members.
He couldn't handle so many things.
He could only protect Yanhai City.
"Lock him up."
He waved his hand, intending to interrogate Wu Jiu properly later.
Wu Jiu shouted, "I've already said everything I know, what more do you want from me? Can you please find someone to look at my back? I think I'm paralyzed."
One-Eyed Man ignored him.
He didn't even treat him as a person.
As One-Eyed Man passed by Gao Xiong, he stopped and looked at him.
Gao Xiong met One-Eyed Man's gaze with a blank expression.
He hadn't spoken a word since being captured.
One-Eyed Man left, but when he faced his members, he smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, I was just pretending."
Hmm?
Was he pretending?
The members were skeptical.
