What is the most painful form of torture in the world?

In the information age, where there are no taboos, this answer is naturally varied. However, there was also a popular joke on the Internet about "dragging it out and shooting it for five minutes", but with the fragility of the human body, it often only takes one shot to kill directly, and how to make full use of the remaining four minutes and fifty-nine seconds can only be regarded as a waste of bullets to whip the corpse, this sentence can naturally only be regarded as a simple ridicule. However, if you talk about it deeply, it has revealed a truth - the most ruthless revenge method in the world has never been the ten Manchu tortures such as breaking the intestines and cramping the bones, but concocting the enemy by various means, and then perfectly restoring it, and then trying another new way of playing, so that the person is repeatedly soaked in thousands of extreme pain that is not repeated.

That's exactly what Rorschach faces.

According to the diagnosis of modern medicine, it is probably "organ mutilation", "severe blood loss", and a large area of chilblains lying in the ice and snow for a long time. This kind of injury, in the 21st century, belongs to the kind of "direct abandonment treatment" who does not even need to call an ambulance, and the hospital directly issues a death notice; Even in the magical world of Azeroth, a high-level archpriest who has mastered the healing art of flesh and bones of the living dead will probably have to scratch his head when he encounters Rorschach at this time. And the only "person" present, but it is Arthas, who has just abandoned the Holy Light and chose the path of the Death Knight, killing and detaining the soul is naturally as simple as eating and drinking water for him, but using the power of death that is diametrically opposed to the living soul to treat and save is as funny as letting the grass eat the sheep in turn, and the difficulty can be imagined.

"It's been so hard for me to survive...... What exactly does he want to do? ”

Rorschach bowed his head and was silent at this time, but he was thinking about such a question in his heart. He didn't think that this prince would stage a bloody plot of Pan Ran's repentance at the last moment; But he wasn't too worried about the torture he might face - after all, he had only known Alsace for a few days, and it was not his turn to take revenge on the torture of the criminal law, not to mention his half-dead state, not to mention the violent and exhilarating movement of the leather whip and candle, just a few old punches, I am afraid that everything will be over.

"You don't seem to be afraid of death?" Seeing that Rorschach didn't say a word after waking up, Arthas raised his head impatiently, his eyes flashing with an inexplicable meaning, "When you fought against me just now, wasn't it so desperate to survive?" How come it is that now, like a humble worm, silently waiting to die? ”

"I'm not like you," Rorschach pulled an inexplicable smile at the corner of his mouth, and replied flatly, "Although your life changed drastically later, you were almost perfect in your early years, a virtuous and benevolent father and mother, a beautiful and gentle childhood sweetheart, a strong and wise mentor and a brother who shares life and death, since God can give a person all happiness, naturally it will not be taboo to take away all of another person, you are the former, and I am the latter." ”

"Oh?" Arthas asked with interest, "Would you like to hear about it." ”

"There's nothing to say about those old accounts," Rorschach shook his head, glanced at him, and said, "You just need to know that in a sense, I died more than ten days ago, and the experience of these days is, in my opinion, more like an interesting game." Since I tried my best in the game and still couldn't win, then I will accept defeat willingly, which is also a helpless thing. ”

"Ha, you're really ruthless," Arthas couldn't help laughing, he pointed to the two beauties who turned into poignant ice sculptures on the side, turned his head and asked, "Don't you care about these two lovers and followers who are so desperate for you, their lives and deaths?" ”

"When you fight, do you care about the damage to your sword caused by every collision?" Rorschach asked rhetorically, but in his heart, he couldn't help but go back to that day's pink and beautiful night, when the wind and snow were falling and the shadows were entangled under the red candles in the room.

"'Sword'? It's a fitting analogy," the prince nodded approvingly, and kicked his foot forward, and the ground suddenly sounded a "bang" of metal, and Rorschach subconsciously lowered his head, only to find that there were sword fragments scattered on the ice.

"You know what? These two 'swords' of yours are really fierce enough," Arthas said in a low voice with a palpitating expression, "It's hard to imagine such a beautiful woman fighting in such a brutal style. Even when I fought the Dreadlord in Stratholme, I had never encountered such a violent and brutal attack. If it weren't for the fact that their weapons couldn't withstand the power of Frost Sorrow in the end, and both of them were shattered, I'm afraid I would have had to fight to the end. ”

"And I can feel that their power is not fully exerted, I admit that I can't compare to them in pure swordsmanship skills, but for the mastery of internal power, they seem to be able to only rely on the passive bonus of physical operation, but they can't really go deep into the essence, but it is precisely in this way that I can win." Arthas admitted.

Although Rorschach didn't know what he was thinking, he nodded anyway, understanding what he meant. Whether it is Ji Yanran's pre-Qin ancient sword technique from the "Xun Qin Ji", or the new Yin Liu sword drawing technique inherited by the Warring States period from the "School Revelation Record" by Poison Island Yenzi, in the final analysis, it belongs to the "common sense lifeform" created by the combat method, and it is a combat skill summarized by ordinary people in the long years, which is essentially no different from the national art big gun Bajiquan and the like, it is okay to deal with ordinary people, but when encountering supernatural battles derived from mysterious forces in the magic plane, such as the magic of natural energy such as water, fire, terroir, etc. or relying on internal qi to violate the laws of the human body and cheat martial arts, it is obviously a little powerless.

Thinking like this, an incredible thought suddenly flashed through Rorschach's mind, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "Do you want to make them Death Knights too?" ”

"Why not?" Arthas laughed and replied cheerfully, "If they can be your 'swords', why can't they be my weapons?" Moreover, since they can burst out with a power similar to the anger of a warrior, then after being controlled by me, after systematic training, their strength will only become stronger. ”

"You can't do it," Rorschach asserted with an odd expression.

Although he didn't know what level of Alsace's strength had reached after picking up Frost Sorrow, judging from the fact that he and the corpse queen who had soared to the limit were only on par, most of them were only silver median or upper-rank, and in the infinite adventurer guild "Corpse Queen's Refinery", which created this type of work, there were at least seven or eight gold veterans alone.

You must know that the strength evaluation in the Book of Reincarnation is rising in a curve, and the further you go, the bigger the gap, three or four black iron upper positions may be able to tie a bronze lower rank, but further the weakest silver can kill more than ten adventurers at the peak of bronze without injury, and even the weakest gold is dozens of times higher than the silver upper level. How can an ungrown Alsace solve a problem that cannot be solved by such a powerful force? Unless in the later stages of the plot, when the Scourge Legion annihilates half of Azeroth, with the help of hundreds of millions of dead, his evil power is further sublimated, and he becomes the second Lich King, known as the "first human god in the history of Azeroth", there may still be a possibility of realization.

"I don't know where you got your confidence," Arthas shook his head, his patience seemed to be exhausted, he stepped forward and stretched out his hand to pull it up, only to hear the sound of "click", he had already pulled out the magic sword inserted in Rorschach's lower abdomen, and then he turned and walked to the two corpses that had become ice sculptures, looked up and down for a moment, and couldn't help but admire with an appreciative of art:

"What a beauty, these two strange female warriors, obviously without a soul, but with clear judgment and feelings, loyal and never rebellious, and even burst out with incredible power because of the damage of their master, I am a little jealous...... It's a perfect work, and when I kill your master and enslave his soul to master this technique, I must have Uther and Benedictas all of these hypocritical followers of the Light prostrate at my feet with the same loyalty! ”

After that, he held the magic sword mercilessly, and stabbed straight towards the corpse Ji, the invincible sword blade "poof", directly pierced through the strengthened **, looking at the sad appearance of the beauty who was pierced through the heart, Arthas was indifferent, his lips were buzzing, and the cold and empty voice seemed to penetrate through the distant sky: "Humble servant...... Obey the will of the Lich King, stand up, and fight for me! ”

The ritual of transformation began.

Countless icy blue colors diffused from the frost sorrow that had sunk into the chests of the two of them, and then turned into a blue rainbow air flow composed of thousands of tiny runes, penetrating the heart of the injured person. And the face of the corpse Ji, who was originally frozen in indifference, suddenly revealed a strange and complicated expression, joy, anger, sadness, and pain all kinds of emotions changed in turn, and the face also changed from red to purple, purple to black, black to white, and finally turned into a kind of pale that penetrated the soul, and the closed eyes suddenly opened, and the cloudy pupils were crystal clear and clear, exuding a cold and silent agility.

At the same time, a "crackling" sound suddenly erupted in Rorschach's waist, but it was the Yin text wooden seal originally engraved with "Yan" and "冴" that overflowed purple-black blood out of thin air, and the wooden card seemed to be squeezed by an invisible force, deformed and cracked a little bit, and finally turned into scattered powder with a "bang".

"How so?" Rorschach couldn't help but be shocked, "The contract collapsed? He actually did...... Could it be that he has already overcome the creators of the corpses? ”

He then noticed that the two corpses under the ritual were surrounded by countless black and red runes on their bodies, and their images were completely different from before, and he suddenly understood, "No, I've been making a mistake all along. It's true that 'Corpse Queen' can't be upgraded, but that doesn't mean it can't increase its strength. They can also accept all kinds of transformations and mutations, or become Flying Yakshas, or Death Knights, or other zombie kings, but these 'evolutions', no matter what they are called, are no longer the original 'corpse queens', and their value to their owners has decreased. After all, the 'Corpse Queen' was originally used as a plaything circulating among high-level adventurers, and its own combat power was just an embellishment for entertainment, and the precious thing was beauty and obedience, and upgrading had the possibility of rebellion. In this way, those golden powerhouses are not powerless, but they just want toys that are obedient to each other, and naturally they will not risk being rebelled against and make further failures. ”

After thinking about it, Rorschach calmed down, after all, it is now a man-made sword, and I am a fish and meat situation, and it is no longer a bad situation, and it is useless to be entangled. However, as soon as his mind turned, another confusion arose: "But if he can control them so easily, why did he go to the trouble to keep me from dying?" If you want to know any technical information, wouldn't it be better to stab me to death with a sword and resurrect me as a necromancy, I don't think my will is superior to those legendary paladins, and I can resist the evil forces they all have to submit. ”

Arthas seemed to see his puzzlement, chuckled, and suddenly asked, "Do you know what the source of the Death Knight's power is?" ”

Rorschach was also happy to stall, thought for a moment, and replied hesitantly, "The evil power of the Lich King? No, the Death Knight appeared before the birth of the Lich King, but I remember that the first generation of Death Knights appeared on the principle of stuffing the souls of orcs into the ** of the paladins, so as to obtain the powerful power attached to their bodies, and the strength is directly linked to whether they were strong or not before death, but the caste of the life force turned into the power of death, so that their power should come from the 'body before death', right? ”

"That's a good answer," the new Death Knight glanced at him and smiled slightly, but after a momentary moment, he shook his head with regret and vetoed: "Unfortunately, this is only part of the answer, the source of the Death Knight's power, although it is closely related to the time of life, does not come from the physical body alone, but comes from the 'life before death', not from the Holy Light, anger, life force or anything else, but from the 'heart'." ”

"Heart?" Hearing this unexpected answer, Rorschach couldn't help but be stunned, he never thought that the rough protagonist of this typical magical world in front of him would suddenly give such an answer close to the philosophy of Eastern idealism, but he suddenly thought of the experience of those famous death knights in the history of Warcraft, and faintly realized, and couldn't help but say: "You mean...... Sadness, despair, hatred? ”
