Chapter 373: Interrogation with Voices
Barrett has always considered himself a strong-willed man.
He was accustomed to hovering on the brink of life and death, his nerves were extremely tenacious, and he could remain calm no matter how bad the battle, and he had suffered many unimaginable fatal wounds, his throat was torn by sharp claws, his chest was pierced by a giant sword, and his muscles were torn apart and his bones were broken.
The severe pain caused by those severe injuries had simply brought our barbarian adventurers to their knees, but the bone demon in front of us, who had only spent hundreds, if not thousands of years, studying the art of interrogation, was obviously better than those fatal pains.
Since the scene was so bloody that it might cause a lot of discomfort, let's retreat backwards from the interrogation room, close the door with our hands, and then put our ears to the door, and satisfy our curiosity with a small sound.
Oh, and I forgot to warn you, watch out for those spikes on the door.
......
"Again, I'm a human, human! get that thing out of the way!!" Barriet's voice sounded unusually angry.
"Good, good! Seriously, I like hard-mouthed guys, it makes the whole process a lot more fun. Crying and screaming are wonderful, but I prefer to hear them after a series of warm-up activities. "The Bone Demon's voice was like ice, out of place in the heat of the place.
The cold and frozen realm of the fifth level of hell, Stygia, is a desecrated and ancient mire filled with the waters of the River Styx, and many bone demons were born in that mire.
Then, there was a strange sound in the interrogation room, as if some kind of machinery was stirring in 'kalakala', "To me, interrogation is like a human being savoring a delicious meal, always have to serve some appetizers, then drink some thick soup, eat some side dishes, and wait until the appetite is completely aroused, and then start to enjoy the main course." β
"This kind of program will give you, me, and us all a better experience and more satisfaction, won't it? The Bone Demon said slowly, "So let's warm up with some trivial questions and get to know each other better, in fact, it doesn't matter if you're a human, a troll, or anything else, I just hope you can hold on for a long time." β
"Grass you **!!"
"If I'm not mistaken about the lingua franca, you're trying to have sex with my mother? Oh, that's probably going to disappoint you. Because we devils don't need to reproduce, we are generally transformed from soul shells that have been squeezed out of energy, or from some special environment in the nine layers of hell. So strictly speaking, we don't have parents. Or rather, the Nine Hells themselves are our mothers. If you really have that kind of thought, I mean, if something happens to this plane, whatever you want, I'm not going to stop it anyway. The Bone Demon's tone was smiling.
"Ah!!h
But then again, some demons can indeed derive pleasure from sexual (harmonious) acts just like humans or other creatures, and these demons tend to be more humanoid in form. I've experienced it a few times when I was harvesting demons before, and your breeding behavior was really interesting, but it didn't seem like much compared to the fun right now. β
"I'm going to kill you! I'm going to tear you to shreds!!" Barrett roared angrily.
"Kill me? Have you ever killed the devil before? If you do, we can have a good exchange of skills and tips, because I have killed quite a few. The same kind of people who died at my hands were no less than the creatures of the main material plane. The Bone Demon's tone was rather indifferent, "I like to slowly dissect those disobedient kinds, you know, we devils have a kind of mushy organ made of a lot of scales, for this organ, I like to use the lingua franca word 'oocyst' to describe it. β
"If you kill a devil and find this organ inside his body cavity, I suggest you can put your hand in it, there will be a lot of interesting discoveries. Guess what's going to happen? If you're right, I'll consider giving you a break. To be honest, I hope you've guessed right, because I'm a little worried that you're going to hang up, which would be disappointing. β
"Fuck you!" Barrett scolded.
"Alas, it's a pity that I guessed wrong. Let me tell you the correct answer, which is filled with many finger-sized sacs, each containing a different form of the devil's fetus. Well...... Actually, I don't know if it's accurate enough to describe it as a fetus, but I can't find a better or more appropriate word, but I think you can understand it from that word. β
"When a devil is given the opportunity to be promoted, the new form of the liquid sac corresponding to his promotion will draw enough hellish power from the promotion ceremony. It grows, expands, and tears through its old form, emerging from the pile of broken flesh. Therefore, some devils believe that the promotion ceremony is actually killing the original self, and then a new and more powerful devil with all our memories is born on this basis. After the bone demon finished speaking, he turned to purgatory and asked, "What do you think?"
The other demon replied in the voice peculiar to the Needle Piercing Demon, "[Purgatory] I don't know, Inquisitor. But I don't think any of the devils care, no matter what the truth is. Promotion is the only way out of our transformation, no devil will want to stay at the bottom all the time, we all aspire to become stronger, climb to higher positions, and gain more power. β
"That's good, Jebbot, everyone wants more rights, so have you ever thought about replacing me one day?"
"Don't dare, Inquisitor. The voice of the needle demon became terrified.
"Look, let me get it right. But you're still just a low-level devil, and if you want to replace me, you have to cross the seventh level and work hard to become a high-level devil before you have a little possibility. "By the way, there's one more thing you need to know, and that's don't let other demons find out about your ambitions, especially your boss. So, as your boss, I'm going to punish you a little. Please take the initiative to stand on top of this and talk to this ...... of ours," the Bone Demon said, switching back to the lingua franca and asking, "What's your name?"
"you!" Barrett's voice weakened a lot.
"Oh, that's a special name. "[Purgatory] and our 'you*' friend stand side by side, and I want to see how this newly invented thing works on the devil." β
"My lord, I ......" the voice of the needle prick demon turned from panic to horror.
"Go up yourself, or let me do it?" the bone demon's cold tone lowered again, and then returned to normal, "yes, that's right, stand there, don't be nervous, you can't die." Now, let me go a little bit bigger, just a little bit, and see which of you can take it better. β
Then, two terrible screams rang out in the interrogation room. The scream continued for a long time, and slowly became hoarse. One of the cries stopped abruptly, while the other became very weak.
"What the hell are you trying to ask?" Barritt's voice sounded dying.
"Your business waits first. The Bone Demon said, "Let me see how Jebbot is doing...... After a few moments of silence, the Bone Demon's voice rang out again, "Oh my God, Jebot is dead! There is no way to be reborn if he dies in Hell." What a poor fellow, so naΓ―ve, I don't even know how he got promoted from the devil. Politics in hell is an extremely dangerous game, and there are some things that everyone knows, but they must not be said, do you understand?"
Then there was a sound of 'chirping' in the interrogation room, as if digging something in a sticky place with his hands, "Found it, this is Geebot's 'oocyst', if he is lucky enough, at some point in the future, this liquid sac representing the barb demon may have a chance to grow." But alas, now they are all dead, and they will never have a chance to grow. Carry this guy out and send it to the kitchen, it can't be wasted. β
The door to the interrogation room opened, and the two barbed demons walked out with a needle demon with their ribcage torn open, and disappeared into the long hallway. The moment the door was opened, we saw Barrett tied to a strange torture device, and the tall bone demon was swiping back and forth across the brute's body with its blood-dripping scorpion-like tail.
"Sorry for interrupting our progress with a little hiccup. The Bone Demon's voice came from behind the door again, "Where did we go?"
"Do you want to, huhu...... Ask, whew, ask!" Barrett said intermittently.
"Tut-tut, you're in too much of a hurry, it's not good. "You're a tough guy, both physically and mentally. As I've said before, I like this kind of interrogator, so we still have a long way to go. However, I can't completely ignore the content of work for the sake of fun, after all, there are a lot of nasty guys who covet my place. Now, let me think about what questions I should ask you, my 'you' friend. β
"I think, become, gladiator......" the brute gasped.
"Oh? That's pretty good. I'm looking forward to the day you show up at Dis Arena, trust me, I'm definitely betting on you and hope you can help me win more souls. But now, in this interrogation, you are still in my charge. Oh! I suddenly thought of a good question. The Bone Demon paused for a moment and asked the question.
"Tell me, who is your lover?"
