54. The truth of the crime
Two guards set up Leno on the left and right, escorted him into Sergeant Pym's tent, and placed him on a seat with shackles.
Li Nuo's left and right wrists and feet were held in place by metal shackles.
The shock collar around his neck was also firmly attached to the magnet on the back of the chair, making it impossible for his entire neck to twist.
Sergeant Pym waved away from his guards and paced to his desk and sat down, leaning back in his chair.
His eyes under the lenses of his glasses did not fluctuate, staring at Li Nuo as if he were looking at a dead man:
"Sin 888, I've seen your information. Born Leno Jarvis, he worked as a teaching assistant in history at City College in Burwetting. I've heard that you who read history think you're smart and intuitive. I think you've found out that I'm disgusted with you, and I'm targeting you on purpose. Have you guessed why? Oh, Sin Soldier No. 888, tell me about it, what do you think? ”
Without waiting for Li Nuo to open his mouth, Pym raised his hand to stop the other party's words, and said again:
"Put away the panic you've forced on, Sin 888. I specialize in internal review, have read psychology, and I know how to tell a person's truth from his micro-expressions. You're well disguised enough to fool people who don't have professional training, but if you want to fool me, you're not qualified enough. I advise you not to lie to me. Otherwise, every word you say may become a reason for me to shoot you on the spot. ”
Li Nuo's face turned pale, and he could be regarded as seeing how difficult it is for professionals to get it.
He settled down, changed his panicked appearance, and said calmly:
"Well, Chief Pym, since you've said so, let's open the skylight and say something. You just asked me why you are so hostile to me. Well, I didn't know the answer, but a word from Sergeant Mars woke me up. ”
"What?" Pym lifted his chin slightly, his expression haughty.
"Fuel. Incinerate the fuel of the magic shield. Li Nuo said.
"That's smart, Sin Soldier 888."
Pym regarded Leno as an enemy, but at this time he had to cast an admiring look at Lenovo:
"Pig must have told you why he hates you, right?
"The Death Society considers itself to be the forerunner of death, the only leader of death within the Empire. Members of the Death Society cannot tolerate non-members of the Society learning necromantic runes.
"I thought that the answer you gave me should have something to do with the Death Society. But I didn't expect that you were even smarter than I expected, and you actually grasped the essence of the problem. Let's talk about it in detail, Sin Soldier No. 888. I'm interested in you, maybe you have a chance to work for me. ”
Leno was stared at by Pym, his expression still calm.
He said in a steady tone:
"Any illegal force has a lot of money to spend. It will be the same with your death.
"In addition to illegally developing reserve members within the empire and extorting money in the name of death, you must find a stable and long-term partner.
"There are a lot of businesses in the empire that can afford to pay for it. But there is only one company that will be in a hurry because the Imperial army is trying to modify the necromantic rune.
"That is the Seaton Group, whose main business is fuel chemicals.
"Am I right? Pym. It's your boss who asked you to stop the Imperial Army from modifying the Necromantic Rune, right?
"If modifying the Necromantic Rune could indeed lift the magic shield, then the Imperial Army would not have issued such a huge fuel order to the Sidon Group. The Seaton Group will definitely be greatly damaged, and accordingly, the activities of your Death Club will be greatly reduced. That's why you hate me so much. ”
Li Nuo shrugged slightly:
"I can see it. I, the most vulnerable sinner, will either die now, or join your Death Society, completely destroy the plan to modify the necromantic runes, and then throw it away like garbage. Anyway, I'm going to die in the end. ”
Leno looked at the darkness on Pym's face and knew he was right.
Pym is a member of the Death Society.
The Seaton Group is indeed the financier behind the death meeting.
"Broken coffin" plan.
Broken coffin, broken coffin.
This coffin is more than just a magical shield to protect the corpse.
Those complex chains based on magical protective shields and hidden beneath the surface of the water are not dragging the Tatis Empire into the coffin of death.
It's really sad and lamentable.
Li Nuo continued:
"There's more to me than that, Pym. The tragedy that happened to my parents, my siblings, and my debts, you all planned it, right? The purpose was to forcibly stuff me, a young historical assistant with no qualifications and no connections, but with the highest level of knowledge among my peers, into the imperial army as a bait.
"When I started tinkering with the Necromantic Rune, it meant that the fish you wanted to catch was hooked. This is the first step in your plan. Then comes the second step in the plan, to take me, a poor man, into your servant, and to catch everyone involved in the 'Broken Coffin' project through me. ”
"Smack." Pym clapped his hands, "What a wonderful speech. ”
He smiled lightly, picked up the comb on the table, and while brushing his hair, he said:
"There is, though, one thing that I have to correct. After you join our Death Society, you will not die, you will not be a cow or a horse, you will return to the world of civilized people, live a legitimate life, and become a respected professor of history. I don't think you would easily believe any of my assurances. But it doesn't matter. All you need to know is that we need the Academy's voice to support us. ”
Pym put down his comb, slowly unbuttoned his cuffs, turned them up, and said:
"Alright. We've talked enough, Sin Soldier 888. Whether you compromise or not, it doesn't matter to me. As long as you are at the junction of suffering, you will not escape my gaze. Your patience and principles will one day be crushed by suffering. At that time, I will naturally appear before you and guide you into a brighter future. ”
Pym rolled up the cuffs to his elbows, revealing two well-aligned forearms.
He opened the drawer, took out a tray with bottles and cans, and concocted some kind of potion in front of Li Nuo.
"You should be glad you're in the fighting phase right now. I have a whole bunch of things to do. Check the condition of the soldiers, mobilize ammunition, direct the soldiers to repair the ramparts, deal with the resuscitation of the undead in the basement, and so on. Anyway, I'm going to be too busy for the next few days to talk to you. Otherwise, I'll have the guards bring the torture instruments out of my car, 'entertain' you, and pry everything I want out of your mouth in a more artistic way. ”
Pym mixed the potion and came to Li Nuo's side with a bottle of yellow and clear potion in his hand:
"You're lucky you don't have to suffer from flesh and skin. But that doesn't mean you can escape my questioning. ”
Pym's left hand stabbed out like lightning, wrapped his arms around Leno's cheek, and tapped his thumb and forefinger open his mouth.
He poured the potion into Li Nuo's mouth, and at the same time smiled as if he was winning:
"Let me introduce you to this drink. It's a specialty of our Death Society, called the "Soul Torture Potion", and it's designed to deal with self-righteous people like you, far more effective than the Truth Elixir used by MI2. It will definitely make you spit out all your secrets. Enjoy, Sin 888. Oh yes, forgot to tell you. When the effects of the drug kick in, you'll be as comfortable as if you were asleep, and you won't remember anything when you wake up. ”
