Chapter 36 I don't want to, I can't
This situation was slightly unexpected by Lu Ming and the others.
Lu Ming subconsciously looked at the pharmacist standing next to him.
The pharmacist stepped forward, looked at the body monitoring data of the high-ranking member of the Destiny Organization, opened his eyelids, and shone a flashlight into his eyes, and there was more doubt in his voice.
He ...... He's alive. Just fainted. ”
"Fainted? What causes it? ”
The pharmacist was a little nervous, and hurriedly distinguished: "It's not the effect of foreign drugs." ”
Zhang Dingshan pondered for a moment and waved his hand: "It's okay." Just continue to monitor. ”
Several people waited again for a while. About three or four hours later, the doctor who monitors the physical signs reported an update.
"He woke up. But...... He was unconscious. ”
"Huh?"
When several people entered the ward, they saw that the former high-ranking member of the Destiny Organization had opened his eyes at this moment. But there seemed to be no focus in his eyes. He just stared at the ceiling with his eyes open, and his body didn't react in the slightest. Several doctors were sweating profusely and performing various examinations on him.
After a few moments, the final conclusion emerged.
He ...... There were certain changes in his brain that he hadn't expected before. Now he's in a vegetative state. I'm afraid there is little hope for recovery in the future. ”
Zhang Dingshan's brows furrowed.
Vegetable? Some unexpected changes in the brain?
Lu Ming said in a low voice: "Captain, He Wei, you should still remember the reaction of those clones after being injected with the Truth Poison in the Doomsday Base in the 'Prophecy'. ”
When they first attacked the Doomsday Base, they couldn't catch a large number of internal staff. Originally, he hoped to obtain more information about the Doomsday Base by interrogating them, but after the interrogation was fruitless, he directly took the truth elixir.
But after receiving the injection, those people directly became idiots and became vegetative people.
This situation is somewhat similar to the moment.
Maybe...... This time, it's the same as that time?
However, those clones were because they did not have the "function" of betraying their owners at the beginning of their creation. Based on this, under the collision of self-loyalty and medicine, he will become an idiot. But at this moment, this former high-level of the Destiny Organization should definitely not have such a high level of loyalty.
The pharmacists and doctors quietly left the room.
"What I want to know is that he doesn't want to tell the secret of that god of fate, or is it ...... Can't say? ”
The two may seem the same, but they are by no means the same. Of the two, one is because of oneself and the other is because of some pressure from the outside world.
"It's just that I can't say it." He Wei glanced at the senior level of the original destiny organization who had become a vegetative person with some disdain, and said, "He is a person, I can't find any reason why he doesn't want to say it. ”
In the previous interrogation, he confessed everything that could be said and couldn't be said. In order to survive the death and save a life, he even agreed to participate in the succession ceremony and become the new leader of the fate organization.
What reason is there for such a person to risk the punishment of death and "not want to tell" a certain secret?
Lu Ming shook his head: "Not necessarily." Maybe the secret of the god of fate meant something that seemed to him to be countless times more important than his own life. Therefore, in order to keep this secret, he can die without hesitation, or he can harden the power of the anti-vomiting elixir, and carry it until he becomes an idiot, and he does not reveal this secret. ”
It is impossible for human willpower to resist the power of the potion. However, if the willpower of man is strong enough to a certain extent, it is possible for reason to collapse before the will collapses. In this way, the situation at this moment has been created.
"There's no difference between the two, right? Anyway, that secret will never be revealed. ”
"There's a difference."
Lu Ming once again denied He Wei's claim: "This means two different paths of investigation. I think it's worth verifying this. ”
He looked at Zhang Dingshan, Zhang Dingshan thought for a moment, nodded, and agreed with Lu Ming's opinion.
"There's another thing that needs to be verified."
Zhang Dingshan groaned and added, "I wonder if the new sect leader really knows a secret about the god of fate through the succession ceremony. ”
Lu Ming was stunned, and then he reacted suddenly, and he actually missed this possibility.
Prior to this, with the information recorded in the classics of the Destiny Organization, the confessions of the other high-level leaders, the suicide of the original leader of the Destiny Organization, and the fact that this high-level person became an idiot at this moment, these things all made me subconsciously have the idea of "through the succession ceremony, these people must have known the secret, and chose to commit suicide because they wanted to keep the secret".
But does that have to be the case?
Not necessarily!
Is it possible, in fact, that secret does not exist at all, that the suicide of the successor was only due to some other reasons?
Perhaps, sacrificing a pregnant woman and a pregnant animal can make the fetus unlucky after birth. The successor sect leader, after being coerced, will single-mindedly seek death, these two are fundamentally the same thing, and they are just different working modes of the "machine" of the sarcophagus? In fact, there is no secret at all?
"It's a possibility."
Now, it's time to verify it again.
"This time the verification, I think, can change the way. This time, we can state in advance that it will not be forced. Whether to confess or not depends on voluntariness. ”
He Wei nodded: "Yes." They don't know what we're going to do anyway. When the time comes, they will confess honestly, if they refuse to confess, we will use the means again at that time, and he will still bite me? Hum. ”
Zhang Dingshan shook his head: "No." We need to settle this matter in advance. If you say you don't force it, you won't force it. ”
He Wei was taken aback: "Really let them go like this?" ”
Lu Ming said: "We must first rule out the possible impact of this aspect. ”
Once you really make up your mind, even if the successor leader does not confess, you will not force it, then, once the successor leader still chooses to commit suicide, you can rule out the possibility of "committing suicide in order to keep secrets". And if you are determined to deceive under the guise of not coercing on the surface, then how can you determine what is the cause if the successor sect leader still commits suicide when the time comes?
Although it is usually impossible for the successor leader to know what he is going to do, it is impossible to say that the sarcophagus has any special abilities that can be known in some mysterious way.
If it's safe, it's better to talk. If you say you don't force it, you won't force it.
He Wei said stupidly: "But let him take advantage." ”
After the discussion was decided, ten more high-level officials of the original destiny organization who had cooperated well recently were summoned to the three of them.
This time, several members of the second team of the operation team really made it fully public, and did not hide the ending and fate of the previous high-level of the fate organization who succeeded him as the sect leader. After hearing that he had turned into a vegetative state because of his resistance to interrogation, the ten high-ranking people who had been summoned all had a look of fear on their faces.
"That's the way it is. That's the way it is. ”
He Wei said coldly: "This time, we plan to find another person to hold a succession ceremony and become the sect leader. ”
A pair of sharp eyes swept over the ten people in front of her one by one. Whoever she saw, he bowed his head, and no one dared to look at her.
"This time, if you cooperate, you will be given a first-class meritorious service. I don't need to say more about how much meritorious service of the first class will be beneficial to your subsequent interrogation. ”
First-class meritorious service does not guarantee that the death penalty will never be imposed, but it can greatly reduce the probability of the death penalty.
In the past, this was a great opportunity for everyone to compete for. But now, a few people, you look at me, I look at you, and no one dares to come forward.
】
He Wei snorted: "This time, we promise that after the succession ceremony is completed and you become the new sect leader, we will never resort to forced interrogation." If you don't want to confess, don't. We don't force. However, this first-class meritorious service is gone. The choice is up to you. ”
Hearing this, there was a slight commotion among the ten people. After a moment, a former high-ranking official mustered up the courage to ask, "What if you don't talk about it?" ”
Several high-level executives looked at He Wei with nervousness and expectation.
He Wei snorted again: "Do you really think you are an important person?" You love to confess or not! If you don't explain the big deal, change someone and come again, why force you? Anyway, without this first-class meritorious service, the final sentence is also a death sentence, what good will it do me to force you to death in advance? ”
He Wei was vicious, and the ten former high-level executives thought about it, but they all breathed a sigh of relief.
They are bad people, but not fools. This truth can be understood by just thinking about it.
"It starts with you. Say, would you like to? ”
He Wei casually pointed to the person on the far right. The man hesitated slightly, and said in a trembling voice: "I, I want to ......"
He Wei didn't wait for him to finish, and then interrupted directly: "Don't want to? Okay, take it away! Next, you, willing? ”
Two guards walked over, grabbed the man on the far right and walked out. The man struggled instantly: "Don't don't, don't, I'm willing, I'm willing!" I do! ”
He Wei turned a deaf ear and ignored him. The second person who was pointed at by He Wei was full of excitement, and immediately said in a loud voice: "I am willing, I am willing!" ”
"Okay, it's you. Take the rest of the people with you! ”
There were eight people left, and He Wei didn't even ask. At this moment, as soon as she gave the order, more than a dozen guards immediately came, and the two of them controlled one and forcibly dragged them away.
"Sheriff, I'd do too! You haven't asked me yet! ”
"Choose me, Sheriff, I promise to cooperate! Don't pull me! ”
He Wei still ignored them and let them be dragged away. The lucky one who was selected looked at the "colleagues" who were forcibly pulled away, and his face was full of joy.
Since it is not forced, there should be no risk in this cooperation, and the guarantee can temporarily save your life. But once something changes, such as being able to tell the secret, it will immediately be a first-class meritorious service. No matter where you look at it, it's a sure-fire deal.
At this moment, the interrogation room and the corridor were filled with the cries and howls of the former high-ups being pulled away, which sounded terrible.
Zhang Dingshan and Lu Ming only looked at them coldly, without interfering at all.
The three of them have never forgotten the evil that these people have done. How many innocent fetuses, how many innocent pregnant women have died tragically because of the evil deeds of these people, and nothing can atone for their sins unless they die. Now, let them suffer some rough treatment, which can be regarded as a little interest.
"Take it away, let's go."
The chosen former high-ranking was taken to the Sanctuary of the Destiny Organization. The goddess, as well as the members of the Destiny Organization who played the role of reciter of the ritual were also in place. In a slightly solemn and solemn atmosphere, the succession ceremony of the sect leader began again.
This time, He Wei was not as vigilant as the last time to prevent the new sect leader from committing suicide. Because this time we have made it clear that we will not force it.
For a period of time, with the shout of "Finish the ceremony" from the reciter, the succession ceremony is over. The new sect leader slowly got up, and the expression on his face seemed to be a little dazed.
He did not commit suicide. There was no sign of suicide at all.
He was brought to Zhang Dingshan by two guards.
He Wei looked at him condescendingly.
"Have you received a revelation?"
"Nope."
"You're lying."
Zhang Dingshan unceremoniously debunked him. He Wei's eyes became more and more fierce.
He bowed his head and was silent. No justification, no resistance.
"That's it."
He Wei nodded: "Now, tell me what the divine revelation is." ”
He remained silent.
Lu Ming frowned: "If you can't say it, then tell me, why?" Is it that you don't want to say it, or that you can't say it? ”
It's not about what that secret is. Just ask why you can't tell us. Lu Ming feels that this is okay after all, right?
But the former senior remained silent.
He Wei said unceremoniously: "We don't force you, but if you refuse to cooperate, that first-class meritorious service will be gone." What the consequences are, you yourself know. ”
This time, he finally had a reaction. He nodded slightly, "I know." ”
He Wei's eyes sharpened, and she made a decision in her heart.
She wanted to trick this person, for example, by pretending to inject him with a truth potion. Zhang Dingshan had already gained insight into her thoughts, shook his head, and stopped him.
It doesn't make sense.
If this person could have confessed, he would have confessed a long time ago. He can't explain, so if he is forced, there is no second possibility except to force him to death.
"Take it away!"
He was taken away by two guards. In the sanctuary, Lu Ming was thoughtful.
"At least now we can confirm that the revelation, that secret, does exist. Moreover...... After succeeding as the sect leader, he seems to have maintained his sanity. ”
This means that the reason for refusing to confess is that he himself does not want to say it, and the possibility that he cannot say it is greatly increased.
