Two guards lifted Li Nuo up one on the left and the other on the right, escorted him into Sergeant Pym's tent, and placed him on a shackled seat.
Li Nuo's left and right wrists and feet were all fixed with 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 his guards away, walked to the desk and sat down, leaning back on the chair.
There was no movement in his eyes under the lenses of his spectacles, staring at Li Nuo as if he were a dead person:
"Crime Soldier No. 888, I have read your information. His real name is Lenno Jarvis, and he once served as a history teaching assistant at Bethlehem City College. I heard that you who study history think that you are smart and have keen intuition. I think you have discovered my dislike for you, and I am deliberately targeting you. Do you guess why? Hey, Criminal Soldier No. 888, tell me, what do you think?"
Before Li Nuo could open his mouth, Pim raised his hand to stop the other person's words and said again:
"Put away the panic you are pretending to be, Criminal Soldier No. 888. I specialize in internal review and have read psychology. I know how to distinguish a person's authenticity from his micro-expressions. You are pretending very well. Okay, it’s enough to deceive people who have not received professional training, but if you want to fool me, you are not qualified. I advise you not to lie to me. Otherwise, every word you say may be used by me to kill you on the spot. reason."
Li Nuo's face turned pale, as if he had seen how difficult it is for professionals to do this.
He calmed down, changed his fearful look, and said calmly:
"Okay, Chief Pym, since you said so, let's open the skylight and speak frankly. You just asked me why you are so hostile to me. Well, I didn't know the answer originally, but Sergeant Mars said The words woke me up.”
"What are you talking about?" Pim raised his chin slightly, looking arrogant.
"Fuel. Fuel to burn the magic protective shield." Li Nuo said.
"How clever, Criminal Soldier No. 888."
Pim regarded Li Nuo as his enemy, but at this time he had to cast admiring glances at Li Nuo:
"Pig must have told you why he hates you, right?
"The Guild of Death regards itself as the forerunner of death, the only leader of death within the empire. Members of the Guild of Death cannot tolerate non-members of the Guild learning the necromancy runes.
"I originally thought that the answer you gave me should be related to the death meeting. But I didn't expect that you were smarter than I expected and actually grasped the essence of the problem. Please tell me in detail, Sin Soldier No. 888. I I have some interest in you, maybe you have a chance to work for me."
Li Nuo was watched by Pim, his expression still calm.
He said calmly:
"Any illegal force has a lot of expenses. The same will be true if you sue for death.
"In addition to illegally developing pre-members within the empire and extorting money in the name of death, you must find a stable employer that can cooperate with you for a long time.
"There are many companies in the empire that can afford this money. But only one company will get angry because the imperial army tries to modify the undead runes.
“That is Seton Group, whose main business is fuel and chemical industry.
"Am I right? Pim. It was your employer father who asked you to stop the imperial army from modifying the undead runes, right?
"If modifying the undead runes can indeed lift the magic protective shield, then the imperial army will not place such a huge fuel order with the Sidon Group. The Sidon Group must be seriously injured. Correspondingly, you will report the activities of the Death Society. It will be greatly reduced. This is the real reason why you hate me so much."
Li Nuo shrugged slightly:
"I can finally see it. I, the most easily strangled criminal, must either die now, or join your death party, completely destroy the plan to modify the undead runes, and then be thrown away by you like garbage. . Anyway, no matter what, I will inevitably die in the end."
Li Nuo looked at the deep look on Pim's face and knew that he was right.
Pim is the one who sued for death.
The Seton Group is indeed the financial backer behind the death petition.
"Broken Coffin" plan.
Broken coffin, broken coffin.
This coffin is not just a magical protective shield to protect the spiritual hub.
Those complex chains based on the magic protective shield and hidden under the water are dragging the Tatis Empire into the coffin of death.
How pathetic.
Li Nuo continued:
"That's not all I'm thinking of, Pim. The tragedy that happened to my parents, brothers and sisters, as well as my debts, were all planned by you, right? The purpose is to force me, who has no qualifications and no knowledge, to A young history teaching assistant who has connections but is the best among his peers in terms of knowledge, was stuffed into the imperial army as bait.
"When I start modifying the undead runes, it means that the fish you want to catch has been hooked. This is the first step in your plan. The next step is the second step in the plan, to take this poor man into your pocket. , become a servant who is called around by you, and through me, I will catch everyone involved in the 'Broken Coffin' plan."
"Papa." Pim clapped his hands, "What a wonderful speech."
He smiled slightly, picked up the comb on the table, and said while combing his hair:
"However, there is one point where I must make corrections. After you join our death denunciation meeting, you will not die, nor will you become a cow or a horse. You will return to the world of civilized people and live an aboveboard life with a legal identity. Become a respected professor of history. Regarding this, I don’t think you will believe it easily no matter how much I promise. But it doesn’t matter. Just know that we will need the support of the academy to support our voice. .”
Pim put down his comb, slowly unbuttoned his cuffs, turned up his sleeves, and said at the same time:
"Okay. We've had enough chatting, Criminal Soldier No. 888. It doesn't matter to me whether you compromise or not. As long as you are still at the intersection of suffering, you can't escape my gaze. Your patience and principles will one day You will be overwhelmed by suffering. At that time, I will naturally appear in front of you and guide you into a brighter future."
Pim rolled up his cuffs to his elbows, exposing two forearms with well-proportioned muscles.
He opened the drawer, took out a tray with bottles and cans, and mixed some kind of potion in front of Li Nuo.
"You should be glad that we are in the combat stage now. I have a lot of things to do. Check the status of the soldiers, mobilize ammunition, direct the soldiers to repair the barriers, deal with the resurgence of the undead on the underground floor, and so on. In short, I will do it next I will be so busy for a period of time that I will have no time to talk to you. Otherwise, I will ask the guards to bring torture instruments from my car, 'entertain' you well, and use a more artistic way to pry me out of your mouth Everything you want to know.”
Pim prepared the potion and came to Li Nuo holding a bottle of yellow potion:
"You're lucky, you don't have to suffer physical pain. But that doesn't mean you can escape my torture."
Pim's left hand thrust out like lightning, held Li Nuo's cheek, and opened Li Nuo's mouth with his thumb and index finger.
He poured the potion into Li Nuo's mouth, and at the same time smiled as if he had a winning chance:
"Let me introduce this drink to you. It is a specialty of our Death Council. It is called "Soul Torture Potion". It is specially used to deal with people like you who think you are smart. It is far better than what MI2 uses. Veritaserum is more effective. It will definitely make you spit out all your secrets. Enjoy it, Sin Soldier No. 888. Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you. When the drug takes effect, you will feel as comfortable as if you were sleeping, and you will remember nothing when you wake up. "
