I reached out and pulled Arnold's shirt away, only to see a tattoo of a black skull on his shoulder: "This is the tulip coat of arms?"

Ye Xun frowned slightly, took the wine jug from his body, poured the liquor on Arnold's shoulder, and a tulip soon appeared in the skeleton's mouth.

Ye Xun said in a deep voice: "This is hidden lines, a special tattoo technique. The most common hidden veins are made with pigeon blood, which is more advanced. ”

I nodded slightly before I asked Arnold, "What do you Tulip Family want to do?"

I've long suspected the purpose of the Tulip family, any family that has been inherited for a hundred years must have intertwined power, and the fact that Elena can freely enter and leave the Wyke Club alone is enough to prove that the Tulip family has a deep heritage.

Such a family will not easily hand over their lifeblood to strangers, even if Anne falls into the secret art of love demons, there should be another person in the family team who is in danger to make decisions. That person can't be Elena, Elena, as a guard, will not have so much authority, and will even be subject to certain restrictions. The key person must be someone else.

Of course, that's not all my reason to be suspicious of the Tulip family. What really made me doubt Tulip was the fight arranged by Lan Moying.

According to Lan Moying, the collision between the Tulip Family and the Holy Light Knight should have been the work of his collaborators, but I think it was Lan Moying's arrangement.

Taking a step back, even if Lan Moying didn't know that his collaborator had arranged for the two sides to fight, then why did that person let the Holy Light Knight and Tulip kill each other?

She didn't know if it would be more beneficial for the two sides to join forces, at least the Tulip family could contain the falcon. Leave the Ghostless Sect to the Knights of Light.

After thinking about it, I finally came to the conclusion that someone wanted to force out the secret of Tulip, or rather, the person in the Tulip family who was really connected to the Dark Castle.

The Tulip family has sent people to the Dark Castle for hundreds of years, and it certainly won't be because of a curse, as Anne said, at least not entirely.

Europe is the world of the Holy See, and any family that can get on the table is related to the Holy See, and the Tulip family must be among them, so why don't they go to the Holy See to seek a way to break the curse, but instead have to cooperate with a Chinese warlock? This doesn't make sense.

The only explanation is that the Tulip family is actually part of the Dark Castle. Among the family members who reached the Cursed Land this time, there must be a crucial figure. However, this figure never appeared.

What that person has to do is to find out the Tulip Dignitaries before they enter the castle and get the key secret.

Of course, this extrapolation was the conclusion I came to after Lan Moying appeared. So, I did the same thing as that man, which was to push the tulips into a corner, until there was only one person left, until that person jumped out.

The Tulip was wiped out, and I turned my attention to the Falcon, but I didn't expect that the real connector of the Tulip would be the Falcon's deputy commander.

Luckily, I caught Arnold at the last minute.

Although I know that this is not the time to interrogate Arnold, I dare not rush into the castle without asking clearly. Arnold said, "You don't agree to work with me, I won't say anything?"

I sneered, "You can speak Chinese, so you must know something about things in China, right?" In ancient times, there was a kind of punishment called Ling Chi, and this kind of death penalty was much more interesting than the cross. To put it simply, it is to cut the flesh down one by one, and at most it can cut people up to 3,600 knives. Until it is cut into a bloody white bone. ”

Arnold's face changed slightly, "What do you want to do?"

I turned the knife sideways: "This knife is good, thin enough and fast enough, suitable for Ling Chi." If you don't say it, I can only try my sword skills with you. You have to stop! It is said that when a strong general was Ling Chi, all the blood was drained, and the last thing that came out was yellow tissue fluid. I'd love to see if you can do it yourself. ”

Arnold laughed, "You won't do it, I'm ...... to you"

Before Arnold could finish speaking, I flew up and slashed a palm-sized piece of flesh from Arnold's shoulder, and I did it so fast that Arnold didn't react until the piece of meat fell to the ground: "Oh my God...... What are you doing? You madman......"

I blew off the blood on the knife: "I didn't do it well, I cut too much, I cut it like this, I definitely can't cut 3,600 knives, you wait for me to find the feeling!"

I was just about to do it again, but Ye Xun shouted, "Wait a minute!"

Arnold thought he had met a savior: "Mr. Ye, I knew that you were a gentleman, and there was ...... between us"

Arnold was slapped on the mouth by Ye Xun before he finished speaking, and he forcibly pulled the words back, Ye Xun said coldly: "You got the order wrong, you should cut his scalp with the first two knives, and turn the skin off his forehead to block his eyes, otherwise, he will be easily scared to death when he sees his flesh falling down piece by piece." ”

"yes! how did I forget that!" I turned the blade and leaned over Arnold's head, placing the tip of my knife across his forehead.

Some people have analyzed why so many people can persist in the punishment of several days, instead of being tortured to death in a short period of time.

They came to the conclusion that the psychological pain was greater than the physical pain during Ling Chi. In fact, after the frequent occurrence of intense and severe pain, the person does not feel the pain very quickly, because the person's nerves are numb by then. The person who was being beaten would keep screaming, actually because of fear.

Covering the eyes with the scalp not only does not reduce the fear, but rather deepens the fear, because the victim does not know where the next cut will go, and the nerves in the whole body will be tensed, so that they can hold on longer.

However, the greatest fear of the tortured person is probably the moment when the scalp covers the eyes.

All I had to do was to deepen Arnold's fear, I grabbed the handle of the knife and slowly slashed it over the other person's head, Arnold's scalp was not completely cut, blood flowed down his eyelids, Arnold finally couldn't hold on: "No, no, no...... For God's sake...... I said, I'll say everything!"

I put away my dagger and said, "Say! I'll listen!"

Arnold said: "Actually, the person who signed the contract with the devil back then was not a knight, but the ancestor of the Tulip family. The devil promises to help the Tulip family solve all their troubles, and the Tulip family helps the devil take over the castle. ”

I said in a deep voice, "Be specific!"

Arnold said, "Come this way, when I need the devil, come here and ask him to help us eliminate our opponents, or steal secrets." If, we tell the devil what they want, they will put a curse on that thing, and those who have come into contact with the curse will die quickly, and their family will naturally send it to the castle. In this way, the treasure is ours. ”

After Ye Xun and I glanced at each other, Ye Xun nodded slightly.

What he meant was that it was the Luminous Mystery.

I continued, "What price does your tulip family have to pay?"

Arnold said: "First, we must help the devil collect as many lost murals as possible in Dunhuang, and second, ......"

Arnold looked at me and said, "The second is to regularly send a descendant of the family into the castle. ”

I frowned and said, "What is she going to do collecting Dunhuang murals?"

"I don't know!" Arnold shook his head, "I heard the patriarch say that the purpose of their collection of murals is because of the infinite evil power hidden in them. The devil needs that kind of power! But the Dunhuang murals are hard to find, and even if we find some of them, we can't take them with us. However, the devil doesn't have to be the original mural, and it is okay to have a photo. I ......"

Arnold said: "The patriarch said that he always felt that the fresco that the devil wanted was not found, because sometimes the devil would destroy the things we had worked so hard to find on the spot, and he might even kill people in a rage. ”

I frowned slightly: I guess what Yingfu is looking for must have been stolen by some robber back then, and the book may have been scattered in the hands of a few people, or it may have been destroyed long ago. So she has never been able to make up a complete book of heaven.

If that's the case, that's bad!

I barely calmed down before I said, "What is the reason for letting a tulip member into the castle?"

"Sacrifice!" Arnold swallowed, "The devil needs sacrifice, and only if we meet the devil's request, will he continue to bring benefits to the family." ”

I crouched down and looked Arnold in the eye and said, "I think, my knives aren't hard enough, are they?"

"Don't ......," Arnold screamed, "I'm telling the truth, it's really the truth." It's just that some of the sacrificers don't die, and they have to be very powerful. ”

That's when I retracted the blade: "Go on!"

Arnold said quickly: "The Tulip family does have a family history of genetic diseases, and it is said that this genetic disease is also a curse from the East, and even the patriarch can't even say what the curse is. In short, people with this genetic disease can become very manic and difficult to tame, much like ...... Much like a legendary werewolf. Moreover, people who have this genetic disease die a year or two after the first episode. That's what the devil wants. ”

"In the past, cursed people would be locked up in dungeons as family secrets, left to fend for themselves. Since the family and the devil reached a contract, those who were sent to the castle have a glimmer of hope. They may come back alive and become incredibly powerful. ”

I forcibly interrupted the other party and said, "What do you mean by extremely powerful?

"Not necessarily!" Arnold shook his head, "Someone will have a sharp increase in combat power, and someone will become extremely smart...... Reputedly...... It is said that some people have been born with strange abilities!"

Ye Xun and I couldn't help but look at each other again.
