Chapter VIII: Interrogation

Ye Qing, who had been sucked into the light gate, came back to his senses and found that he was actually in the middle of Lingping City! The previous battle with Di Kui had almost exhausted his physical strength, and now that he fell from such a high place, he was afraid that if it wasn't for the bones, he would have to break a few more. In desperation, Ye Qing tried to adjust the angle of this body, trying to let his butt land on the ground first, although the posture looked a little indecent, but Ye Qing was not the kind of person who wanted to save face.

A few seconds later, Ye Qing slammed into the ground with a bang, and the pain in his heart came from his buttocks, making it impossible for Ye Qing to stand up at all. Next to Ye Qing were Gao Lie and Meng Ran, who were also sitting on the ground rubbing their buttocks. After a long time, Gao Lie and Meng Ran stood up first, and then helped Ye Qing up, after all, they couldn't just sit down all the time.

Standing up and rubbing his buttocks, Ye Qing asked Gao Lie to help him connect his right arm, waved his hand, and felt that it was no big deal, so he began to observe the surrounding situation.

The Four Purple Heavenly Prisons still existed, and the sun's rays through this barrier turned purple, and they still looked a little crazy. There are many houses around, but there is no one to be seen.

Ye Qing casually found a bundle of rope from the residence and tied up the three subordinates of Dikui. Although there were some gains from this trip, the two points that Ye Qing was most suspicious of were not brought back, one was Dikui, and the other was the glass bead. However, if they didn't throw themselves back and did it directly, it wasn't certain whether they would be able to get out of there.

After tying up the three of them, Ye Qing and the three of them dragged one by one and began to walk in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion.

The doors of the houses passed along the way were all closed, and it is estimated that the residents of this city were frightened, after all, such a big battle was like a real nightmare for ordinary people.

Finally, when he walked to the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, there was not even a guard in the City Lord's Mansion, Ye Qing pushed the door open and walked in, and there was no one in the City Lord's Mansion, and the three of them were wondering, and a voice came down from above.

"Hey, you're finally back!"

Ye Qing looked up and saw that it was Ouyang Ce standing on the roof, and after shouting, he jumped lightly and fell.

"What's the situation over there?" asked Ouyang Ce.

"Only these three were caught. Ye Qing threw the person in front of Ouyang Ce and said, "What's going on in the city, why can't you see anyone?"

"A few people died, and they all went into hiding. Ouyang Ce said, "After the seal appeared, panic spread throughout Ling Ping, and even the City Lord's Mansion began to have a commotion, unable to control everyone, and soon some people wanted to escape outside the city, but as soon as they touched the edge of the enchantment, they directly turned into a pile of white bones." After the news spread, they were all honest. Ouyang Ce spread his hands and said, "It's become like this." ”

"As a city lord, you haven't dealt with these emergencies?" Ye Qing asked.

"The people are always ignorant, and no matter how clearly you explain your reasoning, they will not trust you, and the only thing that can overcome fear is fear for them. Ouyang Ce said slowly.

Before Ye Qing could react to these words, Gao Lie beside him spoke first: "But isn't it your duty as a city lord to guide these ordinary people, if you let it go like this, what's the use of asking you!"

In the face of Gao Lie's accusation, Ouyang Ce just smiled and didn't respond to anything, but turned to Ye Qing and asked, "What is the little marquis going to do next?"

"Let's study what kind of barrier this is, and then figure out how to do it. Ye Qing said.

......

Everyone rested in the City Lord's Mansion for a long time, and after imprisoning the three people who were captured alive, they hurriedly left the City Lord's Mansion, and Ouyang Ce also followed behind him, after all, if you want to figure out this enchantment, you need Ouyang Ce's strength.

But as long as there is a formation, there must be an array eye, the formation eye is the key to the array, and the defense power of the array eye is almost the lowest in the entire array. If the eye of the array is destroyed, the circle will also disappear in an instant.

However, the position of the array eye is not so easy to determine. Generally speaking, the setter will hide the eye of the array in a place that others least expect. And some very powerful circle masters can even lay another circle in the circle to hide this array.

The magic circle is a high degree of condensation of spiritual power. If you rashly add other circles to the circle, it is likely to affect the stability of the existing circle, and even make the circle collapse, which can be said to be a very risky way to hide.

Ye Qing pondered, and walked all the way to the edge of Ling Ping's city wall, which was the edge of the magic circle.

Ye Qing stood in front of the purple wall of light, and under his feet were some complete skeletons, but they were all relatively small, looking like the skeletons of chickens.

This magic circle was indeed very similar to the Four Purple Heavenly Prisons, but Ye Qing always felt that something was wrong.

The Four Purple Heavenly Prison is a seal-type magic circle, which does not have any attack ability, but this magic circle can easily dissolve people's skin and flesh, leaving people with only a skeleton......

What kind of place is Lingping?

A small city, not rich, not poor. It is more than 500 miles away from the imperial capital, but when the war broke out, there were miraculously not too many wars here. It's such a small city, how can so many things happen in peacetime?

Ye Qing felt very strange, it seemed that it was necessary to investigate this current city lord Ouyang Ce.

Ye Qing spent most of the day exploring the boundary of the enchantment, and found that this enchantment should only be effective for living creatures, and Ye Qing also made a mark on the ground, and the scope of the enchantment has not been reduced for most of the day, which also shows that the people in the city are safe for the time being, but the panic in the hearts of the people is not easy to pacify.

Afterwards, Ye Qing and the others went to the origin of the enchantment to take a look, but they didn't find anything, after thinking about it, Ye Qing still asked people to try to dig up the original collapsed underground passage. You might find some clues inside.

Next, everyone returned to the City Lord's Mansion. After all, the captured man is still there.

Back at the City Lord's Mansion, Ye Qing and Meng Ran came to the three of them in the prison where Di Kui was imprisoned to interrogate the three of them, but Gao Lie was not interested in this at all, saying that he was going to wander around by himself, and Ouyang Ce said that he had other things to deal with, so he didn't come along.

At this moment, they were tied up in the prison of the City Lord's Mansion, two of them were dying, these two people were the two who were abolished by Ye Qing, and the last one was not affected by Ye Qing, but it didn't look good.

"Who are you?" Ye Qing asked as he walked up to the only person who was still awake.

The man glanced up at Ye Qing, there was no superfluous expression on his face, and he simply replied:

"Do you come to get in our way without even knowing who we are?"

"I don't want any nonsense in our conversations. Ye Qing looked at the other party with a cold face.

The two looked at each other silently for three or four seconds, and finally the other party lowered his head first.

"Snakes. The other party paused and said, "Snake is my code name, and there is only a code name in the organization, not a name." ”

"What kind of organization are you and what is your purpose?" Ye Qing asked.

"Would you believe me if I said our purpose was to save the world. The snake raised its head again, stared at Ye Qing with its eyes and said.

Save the world? Ye Qing suddenly thought in his heart.

"From whose hands are you going to save the world?"

"From the hands of your Jiuzhou Empire. ”

Hearing the snake say this, Ye Qing seemed to have heard some big joke.

"In other words, do you think the world was better before the Nine Continents Empire unified the Nine Continents?" Ye Qing asked.

"Before the founding of the empire, the nine continents were scattered, the whole world was rampant with phantom beasts, and people were enslaved, oppressed, and disorderless. If you walk on the street, even if you just glance at others, you will attract death, such a world do you think is better and more suitable for survival? If it weren't for Emperor Taizu's founding legislation and unifying the nine continents, mankind would probably have perished long ago!"

"But the chaotic world in your mouth has lasted for hundreds of thousands of years, and mankind has not become extinct, and your so-called era of stability and prosperity has lasted for nearly eighty years, and the population has not increased, and only the shackles you have set up have increased to us. ”

"These shackles bind you and protect you at the same time. ”

"It is the weak who need protection, and the weak ......"

"Alright, I'm not here to study this with you. Ye Qing interrupted the snake's words and said, "What is the purpose of your going to that forest?"

The interrupted snake lowered its head again, "Carry out the mission." ”

"What is the content of the mission. ”

"I don't know, the organization has always given us a task directly to do something. Even at the level of a detachment leader like Brother Dikui, he can only know part of it. To put it bluntly, we just help him by following him. The snake replied.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Qing asked about the missing fifth person. This person has always made Ye Qing curious.

According to Ouyang Ce, that person should know a lot of things, and he still has something to say to the people from the imperial capital. He was able to sneak into the City Lord's Mansion without Ouyang Ce even noticing, it had been almost three days since Ye Qing had been here, it was impossible for him not to know, even if he wanted to tell Ye Qing alone, there were many opportunities, but in fact, he had not yet appeared.

However, when the snake heard this question, his face was full of confusion, he said that he had always been four people, and there had never been a fifth person, and he didn't know anything about the waist card or something.

As soon as this answer came out, Ye Qing immediately realized that something was wrong.

The snake had even explained so much about his organization, there was no need to hide it, and he could use the fact that he didn't know who that person was. But he chose no.

Could it be that Ouyang Ce is lying?

But the people were locked up in Ouyang Ce's City Lord's Mansion, if Ouyang Ce lied, how could Ye Qing start interrogating them so smoothly? Moreover, Ouyang Ce had no reason to lie, if he lied, what was the purpose?

The more Ye Qing thought about it, the more wrong it became, he took out the waist card and put it in front of the snake, and confirmed it several times, the snake said that he really didn't know it, and when Ye Qing asked about Wu'an Hou Ye Feng, the snake also said that he had not heard of this person.

"If it's missing, maybe somewhere the master of the organization will kill him. The snake said.

Ye Qing would not consider the authenticity of this kind of words at all, although Ye Feng had some physical and mental problems when he disappeared, but Ye Feng's strength was there, and he would not be killed so easily.

After asking some more snakes about the details of their actions, Ye Qing ordered the three of them to be detained separately to prevent them from colluding in confessions, and waited until the other two came to their senses before they were interrogated.
