Chapter XVI: Bloodless Punishment
Ochre Yu turned his gaze to Nanyun, and his tone was light: "Then, it's time for you to answer the question instead." Are you loyal to the Academy, or to the Dark Flame?"
After asking the question, Ochre's right hand was erected again, and the thumb was flexed, then the index finger.
“......”
Nanyun's towering chest rose and fell rapidly, looking at Ochre Yu, and then turning his head to look at Dark Yan, his eyes turning around on the faces of the two, but he never opened his mouth to answer the question.
And Ochre's right hand has been bent to the middle finger. He still had a smile on his face, and his eyes looked at Nanyun faintly.
Finally, Nagumo couldn't bear such a harsh pressure anymore, and suddenly screamed, kicked his feet on the ground violently, and cut a black shadow like an arrow off the string, rushing out of the house at full speed.
The two floor-to-ceiling glass doors had been opened when Ochre entered. As long as you can break out of this living room, you may have a chance to survive.
Nagumo's leap has exhausted his speed. Zheyu, who was still sitting on the sofa, did not make any force at all, even if he wanted to intercept it, he might not be able to stop it.
Let alone...... If Ochre pursues Nagumo, she will run the risk of being escaped by the remaining two people in the house. And the importance of the dark flame in it is obviously much higher than that of Nan Yun, and Yun thinks that Ochre Yu will never give up the big fish of dark flame because of a small loss to catch up with himself.
As long as...... As long as she can escape to the garden, her life will be saved!
It's a pity that Nagumo's wishful thinking came to naught.
She did make her way through the glass door and into the garden, but she had barely reached half the distance before she could reach the fence when she crashed into an invisible wall.
Just like Fang Cai Li Qin's attack on Ochre Yu, Nanyun was also shaken back by the invisible wall. But what was even more unfortunate was that Li Qin swung out his fist, and it was Nanyun who touched the wall with his face.
A terrible scream rang out, and Nagumo flew high and was shaken back into the house, landing in front of Ochre Yu.
Zheyu lowered her head slightly, sighed lightly, and looked at Nanyun: "Answer my question." If you don't want to die, this is the only way. You've got ......."
Ochre Yu's ring finger was also bent, and only the little finger was still upright: "You still have five seconds." ”
"I ...... I'm loyal to the Academy!
Nanyun's face was covered with blood, his eyes were full of fear, he rolled half a circle from the ground and got up, staring at Ochre Jade, and screamed hoarsely: "It's the Academy! I'm loyal to the Academy! I've always been loyal to the Academy! Lord Ochre! I'm loyal to the ......."
Nan Yun's voice was suddenly interrupted, and the eyeballs of her eyes suddenly bulged, and then she gasped for breath sharply, opening her mouth wide, but she couldn't squeeze out half a word, but she could still see that her mouth shape was still trying to make the word academy.
Her towering breasts were also clutched and torn by her, but she couldn't stop her heart from beating faster and faster. The white face turned red from the rapid congestion, and then turned purple little by little.
"Unfortunately, she lied. Ochre Yu raised his head and looked at Dark Yan and Li Qin, with a helpless expression: "I said a long time ago that when answering my questions, you must be honest. ”
Dark Flame looked at Nanyun who was dying and struggling on the ground with a blue gaze, and his heart began to beat violently. It's just that this is not because of Ochre Yu's ability, but because of the tension in his heart.
Ochre ...... This guy ...... What the hell did it do to Nagumo and Goofy!
Dark Flame kept spinning his brain, remembering everything he had heard, rumors about the mysterious Inquisitor.
But no matter how much he searched in his memory, Dark Flame couldn't find the slightest rumor about Ochre's abilities.
All he knew was that the Ombudsman was in charge of internal supervision, and had little contact with the outside world, especially with regard to any possible rebellion.
And what's even more outrageous is that no one has ever seen him shoot.
As long as the people who were targeted by Zhe Yu, after accepting his face-to-face questioning, without exception, they all died.
But—no one knew how Ochre had killed them.
"It's your turn. Zhe Yu raised his head and looked at Li Qin: "In the same way, answer me, are you loyal to the academy or the dark flame?"
Li Qin's fists clenched and released, then clenched again, repeatedly.
His gaze was fixed on Ochre's right hand, watching as the fingers bent down one by one.
When there were still two fingers left on Ochre Yu's erected fingers, Li Qin finally spoke quickly.
"I ...... I was originally loyal to Lord Darkflame...... Loyal to the Dark Flame. But from this day forward, I will be dedicated to the Academy!"
After quickly saying a series of answers, Li Qin's whole body trembled, and he looked at Ochre Yu nervously, never looking at Dark Yan again.
But this time, instead of beating as fast as Goofy and Nagumo until it exploded, his heart was still beating at a steady pace.
One second, two seconds, three seconds passed, and nothing unusual happened.
It seemed that this time, his answer finally satisfied Ochre Yu and did not launch that invisible attack on him again.
It's just that the dark flame who was still standing on the side, his face was already ugly, like a corpse.
"Good. Your answer is honest. Zheyu smiled and nodded, and put down her right hand: "So, can you be honest with every answer to me from now on?"
"Yes...... I can...... Ombudsman Ochre. Li Qin nodded busily.
"Okay, then let's go ahead. But remember, if you don't give an honest answer, then ......" Zhen Yu glanced at the dark flame on the side with a nonchalant look, then turned his head and continued to look at Li Qin: "You should know what to expect." ”
"I know...... Your Excellency the Ombudsman. Li Qin said tremblingly.
Ochre nodded: "Very good." Tell me if Purple Smoke was killed by Dark Flame. ”
Li Qin cautiously glanced at the dark flame, and quietly moved two steps in the opposite direction under his feet: "Yes...... It was killed by the dark flames. However, I was not present last night when the purple smoke was ambushed. Darkflame arranged other missions, so he only brought three other people to participate in the assassination, and they all died......"
Ochre Yu didn't stretch out his finger this time, but only continued to ask, "So, why did Dark Flame kill Ziyan?"
Li Qin only hesitated for a moment, and then immediately replied, "Because Ziyan got the location of a certain seed before, but he never reported it to the academy. When Dark Flame learned about this, he wanted to ...... Grab it. ”
"Hmm. It's still the truth. Zheyu nodded and continued to ask, "What did Ziyan say before he died?"
"This ...... I don't know. Li Qin was embarrassed: "I wasn't at the scene at the time, but I heard Dark Yan say that Ziyan fled with the kid named Jiang Xiao, but she was already seriously injured at that time, far beyond her ability to recover. So although she knew that she must have died, she didn't know when and where she died, and she didn't know what she said to Jiang Xiao before she died. Just ......"
Li Qin thought for a moment: "It's just that Dark Yan speculates that she didn't have much time before she died, and it was definitely not enough for her to contact the people within other academies." So if she was going to tell someone the location of the seed, it would only be Jiang Xiao. ”
"So he arranged for you to search for Jiang Xiao throughout the city, but unfortunately, you are too late. Because Jiang Xiao ...... I have been informed of the location of the seeds. Ochre Yu smiled slightly, but when he said the end, he looked at Dark Flame: "So, Dark Flame, do you want to try it and pry the information of the seed out of my mouth?"
Dark Yan just snorted, but he didn't answer, and even Fang Caili Qin's blatant betrayal of him seemed to turn a blind eye.
The death of Goofy and Nagumo, and the fact that they attacked or fled, had no effect at all, such a situation that he had never seen in his life, and he had never even thought about it.
Since Zhe Yu would come to his residence late at night and ask Li Qin such a series of questions, it was obvious that Jiang Xiao had already made contact with him and informed Zhe Yu of everything. So now for Zheyu, the question asked to Li Qin is just for verification. No matter how Li Qin answered, it would not affect the current situation and Ochre Yu's judgment.
Therefore, the current dark flame, on the contrary, hopes that Zhen Yu can ask Li Qin more questions and consume more time. After all, the longer it drags on, the more likely it is that a turnaround will occur.
And now, Dark Flame didn't watch Ochre Yu's movements distracted for a moment, nor did he miss a word he said.
As for the betrayal that Li Qin finally chose, it was not worth mentioning at all.
"Okay, Li Qin, you wait for now. Next, it's our Darkflame Deacon's turn to answer my questions. It's a pity that Ochre Yu didn't continue to ask Li Qin any more questions, but turned to Dark Flame, still with a warm smile on his face.
"Yes, Ombudsman. ”
Li Qin didn't dare to say much, he just honestly hung his hands at his sides, took two steps back, lowered his head and stood up straight.
This Ombudsman...... But haven't you said a word of forgiveness or forgiveness......
After the Dark Flame is disposed of...... His fate is still unknown.
At the same time, Dark Flame's heart began to tighten.
Although Fang had thought hard for a long time, he still hadn't figured out how Ochre Yu had attacked Nagumo and Goofy.
Whether it was Nanyun or Gao Fei, at the moment when he was suddenly attacked, Dark Yan could see it clearly, and Ochre Yu didn't make any movement except for the flexion and extension of his fingers.
And in the face of Li Qin's punch, and when Nanyun tried to escape, Zheyu also sat on the sofa, her whole body relaxed and leaned on the backrest.
Whether attacking, defending, or pursuing, doesn't Ochre need to make a move?
Run, can't escape. Attack, attack can not be broken. What's more, how to defend against an attack that is completely silent and without the slightest warning?
"What are you thinking, Dark Flame?" Ochre stretched out her hand and snapped her fingers, her expression relaxed and pleasant, "Didn't you hear? I'm going to ask you a question." ”
Dark Yan took a deep breath, but did not make any offensive moves, but simply sat down directly, looking directly at Ochre Yu with his eyes: "Ask." ”
He...... I'm going to take a gamble.
Although the speculation in his heart is too vague, at this time, if he doesn't gamble, then there is no hope.
"You wanted to get the map of the seed's location that Ziyan had in her hand, so you ambushed her, right?"
With the questioning, Ochre Yu's right hand was raised again, bent and stretched. But this time, Dark Yan didn't hesitate at all, and without waiting for Ochre Yu's first finger to bend, he replied neatly: "Yes." I killed Ziyan for the seeds. ”
Seeing Dark Flame's answer so heartily, Ochre Yu's face was slightly surprised, and he continued to ask: "But you don't know if the seed map that Ziyan has at hand is true, right?"
"That's right. Darkflame continued to nod.
"Do you have any accomplices in this matter other than your subordinates?"
"Nope. ”
Ochre Yu nodded, and suddenly leaned forward, forcing him to look at Dark Yan: "So, do you know why Ziyan didn't report the map of the seed to the academy?"
This time, Dark Flame did not answer immediately, but also sat up straight, colliding with Ochre Yu's gaze.
And this time, it wasn't until Ochre Yu's finger was bent to his middle finger that he said slowly: "I...... I don't know. ”
When Ochre Yu answered, his eyes stared at Dark Flame for a moment, and it wasn't until he finished answering that he sighed almost imperceptibly: "Okay." So, if you do succeed in getting the map of the seed, you won't report it to me, or the dean, but plan to go to the location of the seed yourself and get the power contained in it, right?"
"Yes. Dark Flame stared at Ochre Jade's finger and nodded in reply.
"So, what are you going to do if the seed really exists, and you find it and gain the power in it?"
Dark Yan laughed, and his voice suddenly became high-pitched: "What can I do? What else can I do? Of course, I rely on this power to obtain more things! I want to stand at the top of all the Awakened and surrender everything to my feet! Isn't this kind of thinking normal!"
"Sure enough...... So......" Ochre Yu was just halfway through speaking, but was suddenly interrupted by Dark Flame: "Wait! Answer my question first! Ochre Yu, before you came to me today, did you report to the dean that I killed Ziyan!"
At this time, the two sides clearly had the upper hand and suppressed the entire scene. However, Dark Yan's fierce questioning seemed to be full of confidence in his heart, and it was by no means a fierce and introverted appearance.
Even more surprising is that the ochre jade ...... He didn't continue his questioning, but stared at Dark Flame, his eyebrows mixed with surprise and anger.
