8. Old friends
"Does this really work?" With a pair of big eyes similar to those of pandas, Galadia looked listlessly at me, who was scratching the soles of the captives' feet with her fur and not letting her sleep, and asked uncertainly, "Although I have heard that humans will have a nervous breakdown if they don't sleep for a long time, but the big sword can normally go without sleep for several days......"
"I don't have any other way," Don't let the prisoner sleep, this trick I heard from a friend who was a police officer before I crossed over, it must be useful in that world, but whether it is useful in this superman-ridden world, I am not sure, "Let me explain first, if you want to torture yourself, you can do it yourself, I can't do it against people who have lost the ability to resist!" β
"Alas...... I can't do this kind of thing......" With a long sigh, Galadia resigned herself as she picked up her psychic phone, typed in her demonic power to point the searchlight on its top at the little captive's face, and then persuaded her in a language I didn't understand.

Of course, what she got was a scolding that was a little weak but hateful.
It's been the third day we've captured this captive, and we've been squandered by this little girl since Galadia changed her mind that day.
The reason why she was not killed was because Galadia wanted to know the latest developments of the organization in order to speculate on what stage the "original plot" had developed.
It's a pity that neither of us is a professional, Galadia was just a high school girl before the crossing, although I was old enough, but I have neither been a soldier nor been in prison, the two of us discussed for a long time, and finally came up with this stupid interrogation method that could not be more stupid.
In fact, I know a lot of famous tortures, if I can use them one by one, I guess not to mention the big sword, even if it is an iron man, you have to bow your head and confess, the problem is that the "executioner" profession really needs some psychological quality, I took a sharpened wooden needle and compared it on the fingernails of the captives for a long time, but I still couldn't grit my teeth and insert it - damn! It's a little more convenient to plug myself, and I can't do it against a little girl who is still dripping blood but still glaring at me......
Galadia was more simply than me, and after listening to several torture descriptions, she gave up without trying, "You perverted middle-aged uncle in the skin of a hot-blooded teenager can't do it, and of course it's impossible for me, a real crossing girl, to do it" - this kind of reason really makes people don't even have the strength to complain.
In the end, we had to drain our minds on this little captive, forcing her to comply, with the supposedly very effective "not sleeping".
However, it seems that this trick does not seem to be very effective......
"Forget it, I want to sleep!" Galadia, who failed to persuade to surrender, lamented again, completely lacking the momentum of the murder that day, "I haven't closed my eyes for three days and three nights!" Even the rabbit of the protagonist of the story can't bear it! β
"The two of us have food, drink, and clothes to wear, can't we still consume a person who is seriously injured and hanged up without eating or drinking and hungry for a few days?" Lack of roots! Lack of roots! This girl is also an expert in killing monsters, why don't she have so much perseverance!
"I think it's just going to wear her down like this......"
"Do you have any other way?"
ββ¦β¦ Let me think. So saying, she sat down against a big tree and began to think of a way
Contemplative.
Contemplative.
Contemplative.
Slight snoring.
"Get up!" I let out a loud shout, so frightened that she had just fallen asleep shivered, jumped up suddenly, hit the canopy above her head, and suddenly sprinkled the snow, "It's you who want to ask for the news, not me, I'm consuming, you actually sleep?" β
"Dissipate the gas, dissipate the gas, everyone is a civilized person......" The silver-eyed girl who knew that she was in the wrong apologized in a low voice, but soon began to doze off again.
In other words, as we slowly got acquainted, Galadia gradually changed her cold and arrogant style when we first met, and became approachable. In her own words: "With people I don't know, of course I don't need to give them a good look; But it's rude to put on a dead face to a friend - or, do you like the noble Iceberg Sister? β
No, I like gentle and obedient maids, or energetic and energetic maids.
Looking up, the captive, whose face was as white as a dead man, had a sarcastic smile on his face.
Damn it! Just forget about this chick first O and then X!
Do what you think! I put her down, wrapped her in a large piece of animal skin, and tied her into a rice dumpling again, stuffing a piece of jerky into my mouth by the way.
There's snow everywhere, so let her figure out how to drink the water herself.
I'll also sleep for a while......
When I awoke, Galadia was muttering something to the captive, and she kept gesturing with the dagger in the face and body with a very fierce expression, but the little girl kept shaking her head with a very resolute attitude.
"Your charisma and persuasion are not up to par, don't waste your efforts." I took two cans of sports drinks from my suitcase that only I could open and handed her one, "It's cold here, drink it before it freezes." β
"When did you wake up?"
"Why didn't you bring out this kind of good stuff sooner?" She took the can, pulled open the tab a little jerky, raised her neck and grunted most of it, "I really miss this taste, it's been almost 20 years......
"When I get back, I'll send you a truckload so you can take a shower with Coca-Cola."
"Hah, then didn't I become a preserves?"
ββ¦β¦ Speaking of preserves, I have read on the Internet that there was a kind of torture in ancient times, where the wounds of prisoners were smeared with honey......"
"And then give the ants a bite, right?" She rolled her eyes, "It's icy and snowy, you can find an ant to show me!" β
"When I didn't say it." In order to hide the embarrassment, I quickly changed the subject, "By the way, you were trying to persuade her to confess just now?" The result? β
"This time it's different, I'm not asking her to confess, but to wake up."
"Awakening? What do you want her to wake up? β
"After the awakening of the great sword, the values will change, so that you will no longer insist on loyalty to the organization." Galadia looked proud, "When I was sleeping just now, I thought of this good way to draw money from the bottom of the kettle in a dream!" β
What kind of dreams are you having? Could it be that this little girl suddenly awakened into the abyss, and then bombarded our two enemies to the scum?
"I have a question, it seems like you'd rather die than wake up, right?" I still vividly remember the scene of her bursting into tears and waiting for her to die that afternoon, "At least this girl is hard enough, I don't think she can do what you can do." β
Recalling the scene of that day, Galadia's face also darkened.
For the swordsmen, awakening to become demons is far more terrible than death, which means that their meaning as "people" is gone, and it is a complete denial of their beliefs and the value of life.
Want to use threats to force a strong-willed sword to awaken? It's so whimsical!
"But I really can't think of any other way." Galadia woke up from the memory, lowered her head and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, but there was a cry in her voice, "You don't know how dangerous the world is, and you don't know how much trouble I got into in the first place - remembering the plot is my only reliance, and I have to grasp the context of the plot no matter what." β
Her voice became sharper and sharper, and finally she was screaming: "Even if it's selfish, in order to survive, I can not only kill, but even trample on the last dignity of fellow swordsmen!" β
After saying this, I don't know whether to read it to me or to herself, she jumped to her feet, picked up her dagger and rushed towards her captive.
"If you insist on not awakening, I will strip you naked and hang you in the human town, and dig up the demon flesh in your stomach in public!"
"Only we know that the most sensitive parts of our bodies are hidden! Whether you wake up, or die in the most embarrassing and ugly way in front of the crowd, you choose! β
Now, when threatening someone, should you say at least something that the other person understands? You're speaking Chinese......
Before I could remind her, Galadia had already moved her real character this time, and she tore open the girl's tattered weird tights, and stabbed the short knife viciously into the scar of the girl's abdomen.
Depend on! Could it be that the pressure accumulated for a long time has finally driven her crazy? Now the murderous aura on her body is even more terrifying than a monster!
Unfortunately, even though she screamed to death when she was stabbed in the stomach with a short knife, the little girl still did not release even the most basic demonic energy.
It seems that there is only one way to try......
I stopped Galadia, who was furious and was about to strip her naked and drag her to a human town, and lifted up the little girl, who was still moaning slightly, to the two snowdrifts with the great sword as their tombstones.
"Galadia, translate for me." My voice sounded distant, so cold that even the cold wind was ashamed of itself.
"Either wake up, or I'll dig up the graves of your companions, take out their entrails, pry open your mouths and pour them down." I saw Galadia's body trembling slightly, but I didn't know if it was because of fear or excitement, "The so-called demon is a monster that eats people, right?" Whether you awaken or not, I will let you eat people. This is just the beginning, when I finish eating these two dead people, I will catch some more for you to practice eating alive. β
Needless to say, the astonishing demonic aura that erupted from her knew that she had made a decision.
She had no choice.
If she insists on not waking up, will I really do what I say?
I don't dare to think about it. It makes me feel like I'm just a beast in human skin.
Perhaps it was Galadia's cry that touched the resentment of fellow travelers against the god who threw us at us like toys; Perhaps it was the fate of being in a foreign land and having many bad fortunes that finally crushed my conscience, which was actually not so sufficient; Maybe it's the daily sight of the torch burning out for the past few months that has given me enough stress to twist my mind - maybe it's just an excuse, or more maybe it's because I'm the same kind of person as her, and there is a deep hidden extreme violence and murder in my soul......
In short, what Galadia failed to do at the expense of torturing her companions with a knife, I did it in just a few words.
ββββββ
"Where are we going?" A group of three people - or not three people, an awakened one, a half-demon, and a beast, although they all have the appearance of human beings, they should not be considered "humans" - walking on the main road, the woods beside the road have changed from pure taiga to mixed ecology, and the gradually warmer weather also tells me that we are moving away from the snow-covered land, but where are we going? I still don't know.
Galadia didn't seem to know where we were going, she said little, seemed to hesitate something, but she never stopped.
While she was in a hurry, she was also practicing the technique of using aura to control demonic power.
During the battle with the three great swords, she was surprised to find that the spiritual power I injected into her body to save her life last time had not dissipated or merged with her own demonic energy after so long, but was still flowing in her body distinctly, and it was still slowly increasing - just like when I used the Spiritual Light Wave Fist myself, and even better than my own practice!
But this kind of spiritual power can't last long, as long as she starts to release the demonic power, the spiritual power will be consumed. In return, not only will she not be disturbed by the pleasure of liberating her demonic power, but she will be able to continue to maintain precise control of her demonic power.
It was with this ability that she was able to defeat two high-ranking fighters whose strength was not much weaker than her and who cooperated tacitly.
After experimenting with demons and awakened ones along the way, this ability is unique to her, and only in her body can spiritual power and demonic power coexist harmoniously, and in other people's bodies, the two are like strong acids and strong bases, and they will soon cancel each other out - so we can only attribute it to the natural cooperative relationship between the traversal beings.
Since she has such a magical ability, of course she has to make good use of it, along the way she continues to squeeze my spiritual power, exercising the "limit control" that only existed in the imagination in the past, to put it bluntly, it is to use spiritual power to ensure that the demonic energy can be controlled, and in this state, the demonic power is liberated to a level that is impossible for the big sword, and even several attempts to "controllable awakening". Of course, because the flow of demonic energy in the awakened state is too violent, even if I replenish her spiritual power to the limit that her body can hold, she can only awaken for more than ten seconds.
But in the past ten seconds, her combat power is really amazing! Not to mention demons, even the average awakened person kills directly in seconds - uh, in fact, I am no exception......
But Galadia is not one to be easily satisfied, and after she has tapped into her potential, she has hit me with the idea......
Borrow the spiritual power of the same origin in each other's bodies to achieve spiritual harmony, and then I will share part of the burden to achieve the goal of reducing consumption and prolonging the controllable awakening time. According to her, the ultimate goal is to emulate a special greatsword called the "Black Twins", withdraw her spirit from her body, and then I will remotely control her who has fully awakened to fight, and then use spiritual power to restore her body from the awakened state after the fight.
It's a good idea, but this time, the cooperation between the people is not working--it can't be said to be completely ineffective, but the speed of increasing the mental synchronization rate of the two sides is really speechless. If it goes on like this, I'm afraid it will take a year or two to complete this trick.
"It's good to have hope, the organization uses twin sisters to raise black twins, and it has failed so many times." Galadia was very optimistic, "As long as we practice spiritual synchronization, with your and my skills, even if we go to kill the three abysses, it will not be a problem!" β
And the great sword named "Merry" - now the Awakened - is a complete iceberg. I almost never heard her speak, and I never saw any expression on her face.
"There are no mouths and no expressions, but it's a pity that the 'heartless' article is completely unqualified," Galadia commented on her, "but the face is cold and the heart is hot, which is also a cute point, not to mention that being able to maintain human consciousness is better than becoming a monster!" β
Yes, although after the awakening of the greatsword, her moral outlook and outlook on life are often seriously distorted, and she tramples on the things she used to regard as treasures without pity, but she is obviously not among them, but completely maintains her human consciousness - her first reaction after awakening that day was to pounce on the grave of her companions, not to "eat" like ordinary awakened people, but to pull out two great swords and fight with us. After awakening, her body grew to nearly two meters, and her strength and agility also increased exponentially, due to the surge of demonic energy, the sword qi that was originally just a containment attack became as fierce as a machine gun, and the surprisingly high attack and defense and lightning-fast thrust speed reminded us of the two great swords that had died.
Could it be that after awakening, she opened the legendary "Trinity"?
Of course, even so, she couldn't compete with the combination of our two plug-in traversers, and after a hard fight in the middle of the night, she was finally subdued by us, but she no longer insisted on being loyal to the organization, and honestly explained the news we wanted to know.
And since then, I haven't seen her open her mouth in the past few days.
Not eating, drinking, not speaking, if it weren't for the heaval of her chest proving that she was still breathing, I almost suspect that this guy is not awakening, but has turned into a zombie.
I don't think there's anything special about her willpower, but Galadia has admired her to the point - we've met quite a few pedestrians along the way, but Merry doesn't even bother to look at them, let alone attack.
"It's about 'the spirit has surpassed the limits of the body', and I think that if she doesn't starve to death, she will definitely become a stronger person than the abyss in the future." During a chat, Galadia said worriedly, "Then I'm afraid we'll have to run to the end of the world to avoid her pursuit......"
Yes, according to the game, the friendship between us has been reduced to the level of "sworn enemy". She's going to follow us now, not necessarily because she has nowhere to go, but more because she's waiting for an opportunity to kill us......
In this oppressive and uncomfortable atmosphere, we came to a famous city located in the center of the continent.
Holy capital, Rapoll.
"This city is the only outlier on the main road, they fanatically worship the twin goddesses, and believe that the great sword is an evil way, so they refuse our entry." Garadia, who was also dressed as a blind girl, pointed to the majestic city not far away, and said, "In the comics, this is a very famous location, and an important plot has happened. β
I swapped the Super Mace, which contained two broadswords, from my left shoulder to my right shoulderβnot because of the weight, but because it obscured my vision. There's no way, the big sword is too eye-catching, if there is one, I can still find a way to fool the guards, but how can anyone in the world carry two big swords and play two swords? These are all two-handed giant swords, and in ancient times, only the most elite strongmen could use them, and they could kill people and horses together!
But carrying a giant mace, it's not a problem, I have a lot of strength, can't I?
After awakening, Merry is no longer blonde and silver-eyed, with long black hair, light blue eyes, no matter how she looks in a dress, she is just an eleven or twelve-year-old little beauty, although the combination of super macho man, kind blind woman, and cold-faced Lori is very weird - brother and sister? What kind of strange parents need to give birth to siblings who are so different? - But maybe it was because the super murder weapon on my shoulder, which was thicker than a normal person's waist, put too much pressure on the guards, and they just said a few nonsense words like "don't cause trouble" and let us into the city.
Don't cause trouble? I don't want to cause trouble, but if something does, you can't blame me, right?
Therefore, when a big blonde with silver eyes and a big beauty with a little demonic aura was smiling and blocking our way, I didn't wait for her to speak, and just picked up her mace and smashed it down.
This woman was very kind, with a calm and gentle smile, and she looked a little like a flight attendant, but she just stood in front of me and didn't do anything, which put a lot of pressure on me. If Galadia and Merry after the liberation of the demonic spirit are like raging flames, and they know that they are very dangerous at a glance, then she gives me the feeling of a bottomless abyss that seems to be calm but has a turbulent undercurrent - could it be that she is one of the three "abyss"?
In short, the first strike is the strongest!
A few minutes later, I woke up in a small house by the side of the road, and in addition to the incredibly smiling girl, it was Galadia who was smiling backwards and backs, and Merry, who was smiling despite trying to hide it.
This smiling girl is too powerful! Just now, she forced into the corner of my move in an instant, and before I could burst out of the aura, she kicked me in the knee, so I bent down because of the natural reaction of my body, and then her fists infused with demonic power* smashed head-on, and the shot was fast and heavy, and I was knocked unconscious before I could even throw the mace.
Fortunately, Rapoll was unexpectedly deserted today, and no residents passed by for a while, otherwise my reputation would have been ruined......
"Haha, you guy who always relies on your strength to bully people, this time you hit the iron plate!" Galadia reached out and pulled me up, who was still a little dizzy, "Do you know who she is?" She is the strongest NO-1 in the history of the organization, and the only super master to have killed the 'Abyss' so far, the smiling Denisha. β
Smiling Denessa? One of the two powerhouses above the abyss that Galadia once mentioned? Why did she live here?
"Also, I'm the only one who knows 'Chinese' besides you." Denisha still had the kind of smile on her face that didn't make people see the depths, but her voice rose slightly, and she could hear that she was in a good mood now, "Don't think about those who have it, I'm not a 'traverser', just an 'NPC' with a little language talent." β
"You know?" This is obviously nonsense, but I don't have anything else to say for now.
"Of course, we're old friends for many years." Galadia grinned and replied, "You didn't ask, so I just didn't tell you." β
No way! You're trying to make a fool of me!
