Verse 241: Judgment of ghosts
"Tell me, where is your lair?" When Nan Guo Tianxiang walked inside with Zhang Su, a sharp questioning voice came from the depths of the room again.
"Let's not talk about what happened just now, I want to ask first, where is this?" After Zhang Su heard the questioning voice that shook his soul, he suddenly looked startled and asked softly.
"The eighteenth floor, Hell." After Zhang Su's questioning, Nan Guo Tianxiang showed a touch of cunning on his face and replied with a smile.
"Hell?" Zhang Su naturally knew that this was not the hell in the mythological story, and asked puzzledly.
"Well, this is the torture department, a place dedicated to interrogating ghosts and soul masters who have committed crimes, and digging out hidden information from them, so the entire floor can hear ghosts crying wolves almost every moment, and it's not an exaggeration to call it hell." After Zhang Su asked, Nan Guo Tianxiang explained.
"I see, no wonder I heard that terrible and miserable sound as soon as I opened the door, I thought who had gone crazy in practice." Zhang Su said suddenly.
Seeing that Zhang Su understood, Nan Guo Tianxiang continued to take Zhang Su inside, walked to the entrance of the torture area composed of a transparent glass room, said hello to a young man guarding the door, and entered the torture area unhindered.
"Who's the guy out there?!" Just when Nan Guo Tianxiang and Zhang Su stepped to the door of a large room separated by frosted glass and a half-open door, a rough questioning voice came from inside, and they asked loudly towards the door.
"Nan Guo Tianxiang of the Ministry of Emergency Response, as usual, bring the newcomer Zhang Su to visit the torture department, this is the torture room, right? Can we go in? After the questioning sounded, Nan Guo Tianxiang opened his mouth to respond.
"Bringing a newcomer on a tour? What is there to visit when interrogating ghosts? If you're not afraid of blood, come in! After Nan Guo Tianxiang responded, the people inside hesitated for a moment, and then agreed.
After the people inside agreed, Zhang Su followed Nan Guo Tianxiang to open the half-open glass door, raised his feet and walked in, as soon as he entered the inside, Zhang Su saw a hook-nosed man holding a pointed screwdriver, slowly drilling holes in a humanoid ghost bound by a "big" iron frame, every time he drilled deeper, the ghost let out a scream, looking hideous and miserable.
"Dead duck has a hard mouth, aren't you going to say it yet? The last time the drum tower killed the soul master, three different soul powers were measured on the spot, that is to say, in addition to you, there were two ghosts who were also involved in that incident, you were obviously premeditated, and now that you have been caught, honestly tell me the information of those two ghosts and your hiding place, I can also make you suffer less, otherwise this soul knife will keep hitting you! After Nan Guo Tianxiang and Zhang Su entered the torture room, the hook-nosed man ignored the two of them, but continued to interrogate the humanoid ghost in front of him.
"Kill me, kill me, kill me......," the humanoid ghost pleaded, as if pleading.
"Would you rather die than say? When did the love between your ghosts and ghosts become so good?
Seeing the humanoid ghost begging for death, the hook-nosed man squinted his eyes and asked.
"If you who are still alive are allowed to have affection, we are not allowed to have affection? I won't say anything, you better kill me! After the hook-nosed man asked, the humanoid ghost said with righteousness.
Just after the humanoid ghost spoke, the hook-nosed man didn't say a word, and suddenly raised his hand to pull the screwdriver-like soul-cutting knife out of the humanoid soul that had been pierced in, and then changed positions, and pierced it again, piece by piece, as if deliberately torturing the humanoid ghost, causing the humanoid soul to scream again.
"Don't you say yes? Then I will spend it with you, and I will keep drilling holes in your soul all night until you can bear it anymore and tell me the whereabouts of those two ghosts! Looking at the humanoid ghost screaming in pain, the hook-nosed man warned grimly.
"It's a big deal that the soul power is exhausted and you die!" The humanoid ghost said with a look of death.
"Soul power is exhausted and dying? Think beautifully! This soul dissecting knife is a special Horcrux, and the hole drilled will only make your soul consciousness feel pain, and will not let your soul power be lost from the wound and fall into my hands, wanting to die? How can it be that easy? After the humanoid ghost spoke, the hook-nosed man said with a sinister grin like a demon.
"You devil! You're scarier than a ghost! Seeing the sinister smile on the hook-nosed man's face, the humanoid ghost endured the pain and yelled.
"If you want to know the information, why don't you just use the means of probing the spiritual sense to directly investigate its spiritual sense?" Looking at the hook-nosed man and the humanoid ghost, Zhang Su muttered to Nan Guo Tianxiang.
"That's because it has set a self-destruction ban on its own soul, if someone invades its spiritual consciousness, it will detonate its own soul and let the spiritual consciousness be completely annihilated with the soul, so I don't use the means to probe the spiritual consciousness." Although Zhang Su's muttering was small, it still reached the ears of the hook-nosed man, who glanced at Zhang Su and replied.
"Self-detonating prohibition? I see. Only then did Zhang Su understand why the hook-nosed man would interrogate the humanoid ghost in front of him so hard in this torture room, and said suddenly.
After answering Zhang's question, the hook-nosed man continued to use the soul cutting knife to drill holes in random positions above the soul of the humanoid ghost, and every time he drilled, the humanoid ghost would scream miserably, but because the place where the hole was drilled did not let the soul power of the humanoid ghost drain from it, the humanoid ghost still maintained enough soul power, and the soul did not completely die out because the soul power was exhausted.
"You're not human! You're the devil! If you have the ability, you can give me a good time! "In addition to the constant screams of the tortured humanoid ghosts, they have been crying out for death.
"Tell me the whereabouts of the two ghosts who used to act with you, and I will let you die happily, otherwise, I will continue to torture you like this until your spiritual consciousness collapses." The hook-nosed man looked coldly at the face of the humanoid ghost, looked at the humanoid ghost, and met the humanoid ghost's eyes, and responded viciously.
"Haha, I won't say it, since I give it to my own spirit
If you add the ban, it's already clear that I won't tell you, so don't bother with that. After the hook-nosed man responded, the humanoid ghost burst out laughing, like a martyr in prison, swearing to die.
"Okay, then I'll play with you to the end!" The laughter of the humanoid ghost seemed to arouse the anger of the hook-nosed man, and the eerie soul power on the hook-nosed man's body dispersed, and he took a cowhide long whip from an iron table near the side wall in the torture room, and after shaking the whip to make a popping sound, he said fiercely at the humanoid ghost.
After speaking, the hook-nosed man's long whip kept falling on the body of the humanoid ghost, whipping the humanoid ghost to mourn and scream, and the ghost's sound echoed in the closed torture room, and Zhang Su felt as if he was in the midst of ten thousand ghosts.
"I've never missed a ghost interrogation in Wusu Temple, I just want to see how hard you can be compared to those ghosts?" Seeing that the humanoid ghost was just wailing but not saying anything, the hook-nosed man swung his whip a little harder, and roared wildly as he waved.
"Brother Wu, right? Can you let me try it? Just when the hook-nosed man Wusu Temple was frantically whipping, Zhang Su asked softly on the side, he didn't want to be in the limelight, but he didn't want to stay here all the time to watch this violent interrogation drama.
"Do you want a whip? This whip is a Horcrux that can only whip the soul after it has been infused with soul power. After Zhang Su asked, Wusu Temple was stunned for a moment, then stopped beating the humanoid ghost, handed the whip in his hand to Zhang Su and asked.
"No, I didn't mean that, Brother Wu should just want to get some clues from it, I'll try to ask if I can ask something, and the whip won't be used first." Zhang Su didn't go to pick up the long whip in Wusu Temple's hand, and replied with a wry smile.
"It won't even say anything like this, how can you ask anything with just one mouth?" Seeing that Zhang Su had not taken the whip, Wusu Temple asked in disbelief.
"So I said try it, if I don't succeed, Brother Wu will continue to whip it." Zhang Su smiled and replied.
"Alright then, pay attention, don't ask what the result is to get it to the point of distraction, then I won't be able to explain it to our minister." After Zhang Su answered, Wusu Temple pondered for a moment, nodded as if with the attitude of giving it a try, and handed over the humanoid ghost in front of him to Zhang Su.
Seeing that Wusu Temple had handed over the power of interrogation to himself, Zhang Su nodded, leaned close to the humanoid ghost, first patted the ghost on the shoulder twice with his hand, as if to appease, and then smiled and asked, "What's your name?" How long has it been since you became a ghost? ”
The humanoid ghost saw Zhang Su go into battle, and thought that the strange young man in front of him would torture himself in another way to extract a confession, but he didn't expect Zhang Su to put on a chatting appearance as soon as he came up, it didn't want to answer Zhang Su's question, and was afraid that Zhang Su would say something, but when he thought that he didn't have to continue to suffer from the whipping and dissecting of the Wusu Temple, his soul eyes turned around, revealing a look of disdain, but he replied to Zhang Su: "His name was Li Long when he was alive, and he died for seven years
Trimester. ”
"Why did you die?" Zhang Su asked.
After Zhang Su finished asking, the humanoid ghost did not immediately answer Zhang Su's question, as if he was thinking about something.
"This company has investigated here, and one night seven years ago, the house downstairs caught fire, causing his family of three to be burned alive in their home, which was reported on the news seven years ago." The humanoid ghost didn't answer, but Wusu Temple seemed to know something, and explained to Zhang Su first.
"A son or a daughter?" After Wusu Temple explained, Zhang Su nodded, and then continued to ask the humanoid ghost Dao.
"Son." Now that the cause of its death had been told by the Wusu Temple, it had nothing to hide, and replied softly.
"How old are you?" Zhang Su asked with a sympathetic look on his face.
"I was only eleven years old when I was burned." The humanoid ghost seemed to remember something, and replied with a sad expression.
"So you're reluctant to tell where your wife and son are to protect them, right?" Zhang Su asked, staring at the humanoid ghost.
"Who said it was them? Don't guess! After Zhang Su asked, the soul eye of the humanoid soul ghost first dodged Zhang Su's gaze, and then denied it excitedly.
"Impose a self-destruction ban on your own spiritual sense, if it is to protect the ghosts who don't want to do it, I don't believe it, unless the ghosts you want to protect are very closely related to you, your family of three died in the fire, and just now Brother Wu said that you have two accomplices, so the first thing I think of is your wife and children, and they are the ones you are protecting, right? Have they become ghosts like you? Seeing that the humanoid ghost denied it, Zhang Su asked while analyzing.
"Zhang Su, in fact, we have also thought of this, but judging from the soul marks left by the previous Drum Tower incident, the other two ghosts do not seem to be the wives and children he used to be, and there are still differences in soul power attributes." After Zhang Su finished asking, Wusu Temple shook his head and said.
"What if it can change the soul power attribute?" Zhang Su asked meaningfully.
"Change soul attributes?" Wusu Temple was slightly surprised.
"Brother Wu, can you tell me how it was caught?" Zhang Su continued to ask.
"I don't know the specifics, it was sent from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but when the Drum Tower Lantern Festival, this ghost did evil there, relying on his ability to burn a large number of paper lamps hanging in the Drum Tower, and then the entire Drum Tower burned, burning to death the twelve sightseers who did not leave the building in time, and when the Ministry of Foreign Affairs carried out the task to catch the ghosts who made trouble, they identified three different characteristics of the soul traces from the scene of the incident, but only traced it, and lost the traces of the other two ghosts, so it was sent to our torture department for interrogation, I want to find the other two murderous ghosts as soon as possible so that I can complete the bounty task assigned by the company. Wusu Temple thought for a moment and replied.
"If there are soul marks, why did you only catch it, but lose the traces of the other two ghosts?" After Wusu Temple answered, Zhang Su asked.
"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that the two soul traces were broken at a certain point." Wusu Temple recalled for a moment and replied
Road.
"It shouldn't be broken, but it was moved, it used some kind of soul technique to temporarily change and hide the soul attribute of his wife and children who also became ghosts, and then helped his wife and children get out, but he sat and waited, waiting for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to catch it, to put it bluntly, it didn't plan to continue to survive after the Drum Tower incident, so it was so not afraid of life and death, am I right? Li Long? After Wusu Temple answered, Zhang Su shook his head with a smile and explained, and then asked the humanoid ghost in front of him with a translucent blue light in his eyes.
"You're guessing!" After Zhang Su asked, the humanoid ghost suddenly became emotional, and shouted.
"Although you have changed from the first soul to a ghost, but your spiritual sense has always been clear and independent, and you have not lost your mind, and your wife and children may not, after they become ghosts, their spiritual consciousness is infected little by little in the devouring of each other, and they have almost become irrational crazy ghosts, you usually help them hunt souls to improve their soul power, while helping them to protect their spiritual consciousness to maintain their sanity, you don't want to watch them disappear in front of your eyes, but with the improvement of their soul power, you find that you can no longer control the changes in their spiritual consciousness and soul form, So when you have the ability to change and conceal the attributes of your soul power, you were deliberately caught by the people of the Outer Enforcement Department, isn't it just to escape everything that is out of control outside? Zhang Su said in a very fast tone and continued to question.
"Who are you? Have you secretly investigated me? Why do you know everything about me? After Zhang Su told him again, the humanoid ghost finally couldn't help it and asked in surprise.
"Naturally, I don't know you, I just connected all the known plots just now and made a simple inference, but I didn't expect you to admit it yourself." Zhang Su smiled and replied, in fact, these contents were all printed by him using the stele soul to avoid the self-destruction prohibition of the humanoid soul ghost, so it was naturally clear.
"Hmph, what if you know? Now that I know that I could have escaped but resolutely chose to surrender and die, I should know my decision, so I don't have to waste my efforts anymore. Hearing that Zhang Su said that it was an inference, the humanoid ghost felt as if he had been tricked, and snorted coldly.
"You're selfish!" After the humanoid ghost snorted coldly, Zhang Wei judged coldly.
"What did you say?" Hearing Zhang Su's judgment, the humanoid ghost frowned and asked.
"I said that you are very selfish, you seek liberation yourself, but you have left behind a wife and children who have become irrational and tormented in this world, what are you not selfish?" Zhang asked heavily.
"The price of liberation is to completely disappear from this world, I can choose my own destiny in this way, but I have no right to choose for them, even if they become unclear ghosts, it is their own choice, I have tried my best to protect them, the soul power is too weak, I can hunt souls to help them replenish, but the infection of this spiritual consciousness tests their will, I can't do anything." Humanoid ghosts.
"After you leave, their spiritual consciousness will soon be completely confused, and when the confusion reaches a certain point, they will lose their knowledge of each other, and eventually they will most likely meet each other
Children cannibalize each other and devour each other, do you want to see this kind of scene? After the humanoid ghost answered, Zhang Su frowned and asked.
"Mother and son cannibalism? No, I don't want my children and my lover to be like that, let me go, I'm going to get out of here, I'm going to find a way to purify their senses, please, let me out! After Zhang Su depicted a cruel scene that could have happened, the humanoid ghost finally couldn't bear it anymore and struggled on the big iron frame.
"Where do you see this place? Given that you have killed so many people, it is certainly impossible to let you out, and now the only way to stop the scene of cannibalism between mother and child is to tell us where the souls of your wife and children are, and we can purify them and send them to the Paradise Realm, so that they will not continue to suffer in this world, how about it? Can you say it now? Zhang Su shook his head, calmly said to the humanoid ghost, and then asked lightly.
"They ......, they ......, they are in the basement of an unused shop on Shicha Street." After Zhang Su's questioning, the humanoid ghost looked bitter, as if he had been struggling for a long time, and finally reluctantly told Zhang Su the location of his wife and children, who had also become ghosts.
