Chapter 59: The Trial (I)
Linda is held in an underground cell at the Mage Guild's headquarters.
This prison cell was originally used to temporarily hold demons and monsters, but now that there happened to be an empty room, Lu Xiangbei temporarily imprisoned Linda here.
Not even demons and monsters can escape from this place, let alone a human being.
Although it is safe, the environment is relatively poor.
The cells are transparently walled, arranged like a Go board, separated by a path that allows only two people to walk side by side to guò, no more than two meters apart, so that the neighbors in front of and behind can see it clearly.
On the left side of Linda's cell is the demon who crossed the border a few days ago. This demon's name is Baxingk, he is a subordinate of Baal, the demon lord of the East Hell, with a cat's head and a human body, a pair of small bat wings on his back, and occasionally a grin, you can see a mouth full of sharp teeth of a knife, and if you have nothing to do, you can lie on the glass wall and look at Linda, and your mouth is open and closed, although this cell is soundproof, you can't hear what he's saying, but what a demon can say good things, except for temptation, it's temptation, isn't it? On the right side of the cell is a resentful spirit, and the overall image is that of a woman with a cloak and translucent hair, but the face is a skull, and the eyes are always dripping with bright red beads, this thing will be invisible, often disappearing for a long time, and then suddenly appear close to the glass wall, as if escaping through the wall. Behind the cell was a ghost, who was a murderer before he was killed, and after being shot, he turned into a demon and killed more than a dozen people, although it took the Mage Association half a year to catch it, and before he could deal with it, he waved his bloody arms and giggled there all day long. The front of the cell is a monster, usually everyone always screams like this, but in fact, the goblin monster is three completely different kinds of anger, the monster in this cell is called the chicken snake, with a chicken head and a snake body and chicken wings, the eyes of this monster have magical power, staring at people can lead people to petrify or die, all depending on the length of time they stare, so the chicken is wearing a special blindfold made by the Mage Association on its head, and nothing can be seen, and it jumps around in the cell all day long, slamming the glass wall.
Although poor Linda is also a vicious underworld element, she has never seen this meeting, and she was almost scared to madness on the first day she was sent in, crying and shouting and begging to let her get out of here, as long as she can leave, she can do anything, even if she dies! Considering that there was still an interrogation, Lu Xiangbei sent someone to cast a spell on her, and she was in a half-asleep state all day long, confused, to ensure that she would not be frightened and collapsed.
In fact, between Yong Bowen's request to interrogate Linda, Lu Xiangbei had already interrogated Linda three times.
Bringing this woman back to China is naturally not just for her to raise.
Every interrogation was in the cell, and there was no need to exert any pressure, as long as she was sobered up before the interrogation, she stayed alone in it for ten minutes, and then went to interrogate, and she was willing to say anything.
After two times, it became clear to Linda that every time she came to her senses, it meant that a new round of interrogation was about to start again.
At each interrogation, the man who was as cold as a knife always asked some new questions.
The first time Lu Xiangbei asked about the relevant situation of Rod 61 Puman, starting from when, where and why he joined the Human Snake Gang, and asked in detail about the whole process of Puman's revitalization of the Human Snake Gang, especially the specific content of his contact with those people in the magic world.
Originally, Linda wanted to tell some lies in some subtle places and mislead the other party, but to her surprise, Lu Xiangbei had far more detailed information about Rod 61 Puman than she imagined, and even many things she didn't know knew knew about it.
The second time Lu asked about all the business activities of the Human Snake Gang after Rod 61 Puman took control of it, he had in hand a list that he had obtained from nowhere, clearly recording all the business of the Human Snake Gang in the past three years, especially those large-scale human abduction activities across oceans and continents. Lu Xiangbei inquired in detail about the special requirements of the orderer for the population in each business. Because there are too many things involved, and the time has passed, there are times when Linda can't remember clearly. At this time, a man will appear with a large handful of silver needles, and give her a prick on the back of her head and neck, and every time she is pricked, it will hurt her feces and urine, and she will be miserable, but in the same way, after the pain, those vague memories will become very clear, as if it happened yesterday.
The third time Lu Xiangbei asked about the detailed inside story of the transaction between the Human Snake Gang and the magic world, but these things have always been handled by Rhodes 61 Puman, although Linda is a close confidant, she doesn't know much about it, so she can't answer anything. Lu Xiangbei didn't believe it at first, but the tall and thin man with small eyes didn't know what to do to her, but just pressed his hands on her temples, and she began to have a headache, until she died of pain and became incontinent again, and passed out.
This time, when Linda came to her senses again, she immediately realized that a new interrogation had begun.
She was still lying alone on the single bed in the transparent cell, surrounded by demonic neighbors watching her with interest, but now she was not so afraid of these horrible monsters. No matter how terrifying they look, what can they do, they are not like monkeys locked in a cage waiting for an unknown but foreseeable end that will never be bright. In contrast, those mages who have some human appearances but don't know what is on the inside are the real horrors.
I wonder what will happen this time?
Thinking of the pain of the first two times, she couldn't help but shudder, clasped her hands on her shoulders, curled up on the bed, and sobbed lowly, hoping that she would die silently like this, and save herself from suffering this pain again.
But let her commit suicide, but she didn't have the courage.
What's more, the other party is a mage, even if she dies, what can she do? If you become a ghost, you still have to be locked up here to be tortured, isn't the evil ghost next door the best example, how fierce, you can't escape if you don't get out, that's an example, don't even want to escape from this hell when you die!
This time the wait was a little longer than usual, probably because the mages had also taken into account that she had begun to adapt to the environment, so they extended the time. Actually, this is Linda's misthinking, and the reason why she is late is because Lu Xiangbei is waiting for Yong Bowen to arrive.
Although it was not clear how Yong Bowen could travel thousands of miles back to Spring City to participate in the interrogation in person, after receiving Yu Chunbing's notice, Lu Xiangbei still made arrangements and didn't even ask more. Mages always have a lot of strange secret methods to do those incredible things, especially those who have high status and means. In the words of Yu Chunbing, the mage exists to subvert the rationality of the world!
Since hell can be reached, what is there to be surprised about crossing thousands of miles in an instant?
