"Uh...ah..."
The towel stuffed in his mouth fell to the ground. He Caitou felt that his jaw was almost dislocated and he couldn't use the strength to close his mouth.
Huo Yuhao, who was sitting behind his desk, raised his face and said angrily: "Okay? You can talk now. Answer the two questions I just asked. What is your purpose and who instigated you."
He Caitou took a few breaths and looked at Huo Yuhao, who was sitting upright, with a heart-stopping light in his eyes.
"You seem to be quite energetic. I really didn't know enough about you just now. Why don't you let me personally experience the ten tortures of the sun and the moon?"
Huo Yuhao took out a towel from his desk and said with a smile: "The towel that was put into your mouth just now is a bit dirty. I am a very particular person, so I will save you some dignity and know when to change it for you. "
He Caitou's eyes widened slightly, while Huo Yuhao continued unhurriedly: "I suddenly thought that simple waterboarding might make people unrepentant, so stubborn people like you who refuse to confess need to be dealt with promptly. Innovate and innovate.”
"The Tiger Stool pepper water combination is relatively famous, but I am kind-hearted and should leave you some chance to regret your cooperation with us in time, so I don't want to give you a means of damaging your body hardware from the beginning."
"so……"
Huo Yuhao wore neat white gloves and searched his desk, but he didn't find a large-brimmed hat that he could easily pull out like a treasure bag. He felt a little pity, but he still stood up with his hands on the table and looked at Hecai with a smile. head:
"He Caitou, what do you think about changing the water used in water torture to chili pepper water? Do you know what its raw materials are? For a physique like yours, you can add some more capsaicin and mustard, which will probably make you more stimulated. , It feels so good. I just want to see if your bones are that hard and how long you can last."
He Caitou's resolute eyes that kept Shrek's secret flickered a little, but he still gritted his teeth and said angrily: "I don't have any purpose, I'm here to learn things! As for why you would use those things to frame me, I don't know I know exactly where you made the switch to frame me!"
While in prison, He Caitou maintained a high level of alertness. He didn't know if there was any recording equipment around, and he was determined not to relax in his tone.
After all, oral confessions are not always valid.
"You're so funny. You're still talking in your sleep at this time." Gu Yulan couldn't help but laugh and slapped He Caitou on the shoulder repeatedly.
Huo Yuhao thoughtfully kept his hand on the table and said, "You reminded me, Sister Yulan. How dare you steal my Mingde Hall drawings, and at this time dare not confess truthfully, which is unbearable." I always wonder if he smoked something that shouldn’t be touched too much.”
"Take a blood sample from him and store it for analysis, Sister Yulan. If Shrek's students committed a felony in Mingdu because of Fei Zizi... I don't know how Shrek's face will be lost when this news comes out."
Gu Yulan covered her mouth and chuckled: "Sir Huo reminded me that if you hadn't been so discerning, he might have escaped."
Having said that, Gu Yulan actually took out a syringe from the nearby cabinet - this was originally used to inject drugs similar to "truth serum" during interrogation.
"Don't move... Hey, the skin is so dark, you can't see the blood vessels clearly. Chief Huo, what do you think we should do?" Gu Yulan pursed her lips and smiled.
Huo Yuhao raised his head slightly, as if he was really thinking about a solution.
Alas, I didn’t expect that one day I would become the most annoying villain in the TV series I watched when I was a child. However, this character is quite good, and it is easy to fall into it if you are not careful.
"This, it's simple. If you haven't studied medicine, it's understandable that your skills are a little rough. Just look at the place and just prick it, and just pull the piston handle out. It doesn't matter if you don't prick the right place, just slap it ten times or eight times. It always hits the right spot, all I need is a tube of blood."
"If you have learned...then stretch out his arm and pat it hard to highlight the blood vessels. This will make positioning easier."
Gu Yulan nodded repeatedly: "Thank you sir for your advice."
"Then..." Gu Yulan held the syringe between her fingers and looked at He Caitou with a smile:
"Xiao Caitou, to be honest, I learned how to use medical equipment a long time ago, but now I don't want to remember the correct use. However, if you cooperate, the syringe may suddenly break, and you won't have to inject it. There’s blood.”
He Caitou's eyes sparkled, and he said "Bah": "There is no need for you to humiliate me like this. I am not afraid of the shadow. Shrek will seek justice for me! If you insult me now, you will have to wait to meet Shrek in the future." anger."
Huo Yuhao said "Oh", nodded and said: "It seems that the leaves are flying quite a lot. Sister Yulan, let's draw blood. Press on his arm and be careful. He is quite strong."
"okay!"
He Caitou was suppressed by Gu Yulan with the interrogation chair and cultivation level and drained out a whole tube of blood. He gritted his teeth and made a trembling voice:
"My blood is pure. Your behavior has no effect except insulting me. I will not be swayed at all by such despicable methods."
"Pure?" Huo Yuhao frowned: "If it's pure, can I just add some unclean ones in it?"
"Shameless!"
"Don't imprison me with the requirements of the Virgin Mary. My position is not that of a moral saint, not to mention you yourself are not a good person."
Huo Yuhao snorted coldly and walked towards He Caitou with his hands behind his back.
"He Caitou, don't be so shameless. According to the laws of the Sun and Moon Empire, stealing the blueprints of a level-6 soul guide is enough to warrant the death penalty. Your behavior will make Shrek even more embarrassed. As long as you Cooperate obediently and I will guarantee your personal safety. You don’t want to die in a foreign country, right?”
He Caitou frowned: "I would rather die than tarnish Shrek's honor. You'd better kill me!"
"Kill you? That would be too easy for you." Huo Yuhao stood five steps away from He Caitou, with a false smile still on his face.
"I have a way to make you have no peace of mind even after you die, allowing us to drive you around and do whatever you want. Do you want to hear it?"
He Caitou's breathing was a little heavy, but he closed his mouth tightly and remained silent.
Huo Yuhao narrowed his eyes and said: "You know, the security here in the Sun and Moon Empire is not very good, and your case involves Shrek, which is really not a trivial matter. At that time, it will inevitably be necessary to collect evidence everywhere and even transfer prisoners. If I take you out of Mingdu, At that time, I was accidentally robbed by the evil soul master... I'm really sorry, and we didn't want to. We will definitely mobilize the power of the whole country as soon as possible to slowly rescue you, but if you are trained by the evil soul master to be brainless by then We can only accept the corpse puppets who only obey orders."
He Caitou said in disbelief: "You are still colluding with the evil soul master?!"
Huo Yuhao smiled and did not answer.
Does this still need an evil soul master? I can do it myself...
"What are you talking about? Sir Huo kindly reminds you of the unexpected situation. Not only are you ungrateful, but you are not grateful and you bite back!"
Gu Yulan pretended to slap He Caitou, but she immediately stopped when she saw Huo Yuhao waving his hand.
"Huo Yuhao, how are your actions of extorting confessions and forging confessions any different from those of an evil soul master? What about your conscience and the laws of your country? Oh, you are still a traitor to the Star Luo Empire. Haha, I am so stupid. Are you trying to reason and follow the rules with a wolf-hearted person like you?"
Gu Yulan paid attention to Huo Yuhao's reaction, but the smile on Huo Yuhao's face did not change at all, as if he didn't care.
"Principles and rules... I personally think that we can only talk about these things with people who are also reasonable and follow the rules. You have already committed the capital crime of the Sun and Moon Empire and you still expect me to be polite to you. Why, with your Shrek Your identity is still based on your black skin? You can’t punish a doctor, can you?"
Huo Yuhao bowed slightly with his hands behind his back, as if watching He Caitou's reaction.
"The premise of talking about human rights is that you must be a human being first. How can the same set of moral standards be applied to murderers and ordinary people?"
"You said that I betrayed the Star Luo Empire... If you can even think that, it proves that it is really hopeless. Why should I defend you, a criminal? And in this regard, aren't we evenly matched?"
Gu Yulan suddenly realized that he seemed to have heard something exciting, and his eyes shone with excitement.
He Caitou's heavy breathing couldn't help but stagnate, but he immediately showed his qualities as an extreme individual soldier when facing interrogation, and once again looked like he didn't understand.
Huo Yuhao turned to look at Gu Yulan with a smile on his face. The latter immediately avoided him knowingly and said, "Sir, please chat with him first while I go upstairs to catch up on my sleep. Don't worry, the video equipment is turned off today."
Huo Yuhao nodded and watched her leave the room.
Before arriving, Jing Hongchen told her that Gu Yulan's parents were from the Mingdetang family, and their relationship was relatively close. She could let her know something to strengthen the relationship, but don't let her know too much at once.
In fact, even her registration to join the Fire Phoenix Soul Instructor Group was inseparable from the arrangement and handwriting of Hongchen Hall Master.
Huo Yuhao's face sank after he scanned the room again using mental detection to confirm that there was no open equipment.
The atmosphere in the entire room seemed to darken for a moment, and He Caitou felt that his whole body could not help but tremble slightly. The temperament of the young man in front of him actually made him feel a little frightened.
He Caitou's feeling was correct. Huo Yuhao borrowed part of the Ice Emperor's power through simulation, and quietly released the ultimate ice to cool down the room, just to leave a deeper impression on He Caitou.
At the same time, Huo Yuhao also activated Huan Hai Yimeng. With his level 39 cultivation, he was able to fully intervene in He Caitou's mental strength. He Caitou's heart was wide open in fear. Opportunities quietly guided him to amplify this fear and involuntary desire to obey.
"Xu He! I say it again, don't be shameless!"
Huo Yuhao clasped his hands behind his back, his face looking extremely stern and angry, as if his patience had finally been worn away.
When He Caitou heard the strange but familiar name "Xu He", his liver and gallbladder almost burst, and a bone-chilling chill filled his body.
"Are you wearing this unconventional black skin just for fear that others won't notice you? You're just hiding in Shrek, but you actually dare to throw yourself into the net. I really don't know why you think that no one will notice you. Do you think everyone else is blind or stupid?"
"Do you really think that everyone has forgotten about that incident that happened just a few years ago? We can't bear that you ended up miserable after narrowly escaping death. We have always seen through your affairs and refused to tell you. Unexpectedly, you not only don't know how to be a low-key person, but also repay kindness with hatred. !”
"If you insist on not cooperating with us, don't blame me for bringing Xu Tianran to visit the prison another day and tell him about your glorious deeds! As for what he thinks and does, I have no control over His Highness the Crown Prince."
He Caitou's lips turned slightly white, but he still held on to hope and gritted his teeth and persisted: "I don't know what you are talking about. I am He Caitou. My parents died young and were picked up by Teacher Fan Yu in the Tianhun Empire. ! Even if I die, I will not be your lackey."
Huo Yuhao snorted coldly: "You are right about this. Your parents died early and you were picked up by Fan Yu in the Tianhun Empire. These two sentences are written in the file you sent over. Open it. Everything seems correct, even using a polygraph machine can’t detect the problem, but I can try and ask you directly if you are the former crown prince of the Sun and Moon Empire, and what will be the result?”
"We have our demands. There won't be much benefit from just pushing you to Xu Tianran and dragging you out to behead you. We still have some room for cooperation. As long as you are willing to cooperate, we will not only guarantee your safety, but also other conditions Can’t talk.”
A glimmer of light flashed in He Caitou's eyes, but he still turned his head away and kept silent, but the uneasy expression on his face clearly betrayed him.
Huo Yuhao's tone became slightly calmer:
"He Caitou, just tell yourself this, I would rather die than surrender. If you really want to die, you have had countless opportunities every minute these years. You don't even want to give up your last name and hide in Shrek, for fear of being Xu Tianran came to clean up the matter. Who are you kidding when you say you are not afraid of death?"
"Don't waste your efforts. In the past, I was afraid of death because I wanted to be useful. Now I am not afraid of death because I will never become your accomplice to bring trouble to Shrek Academy."
"Oh? Really?"
Huo Yuhao started pacing in front of He Caitou with his hands behind his back.
"In this case, if you have to choose between Shrek's glory and your possible chance of revenge in the future, I don't believe you will choose the former."
He Caitou said with a trembling voice: "You...what do you mean?"
"What else can I mean? If I want to flatter Xu Tianran, I can throw you out now to make him happy and find a way forward for myself. But I still don't mind saving your life, but if If you are stubborn and refuse to cooperate, you are of little use to me. Even if there are few benefits to handing you over to Xu Tianran, at least there will be no harm..."
Huo Yuhao looked at the flustered He Caitou with cold eyes. What he just said could only be half-truths and half-falsehoods. The main reason why he didn't want to get involved with Xu Tianran was that as long as he developed step by step, he would become a very popular minister sooner or later. He wanted to No amount of Xu Tianran could give him.
However, Huo Yuhao had no intention of taking the initiative to antagonize Xu Tianran. The current state of not disturbing each other was quite good.
"He Caitou, no, Xu He, I quite understand the mentality of a loser like you. If you don't get it, destroy it..." Huo Yuhao's expectation was gloomy. Under the guidance of various hints, He Caitou only felt that he His defenses were about to collapse.
"If Xu Tianran sits on the throne of God and can cause trouble for him at the expense of the lives of all the people in Mingdu, I guess you will laugh heartily, right?"
He Caitou shook his head repeatedly: "I won't have such a twisted mentality as a devil like you!"
"It doesn't matter. Your eyes and expression betray you. You know exactly what you are thinking, and you can't deceive yourself even with your hard words."
Huo Yuhao had a sly expression on his face, stopped and looked at He Caitou condescendingly:
"He Caitou, what can Shrek give you? Greatness means that if there is a chance to put you on the throne and use it to achieve their goals, you will not be able to grasp the real power and you will only be a rubber stamp for the rest of your life. . We are still acting as puppets, so why not cooperate with people like us who will sincerely do good for the Sun and Moon Empire? At least we won’t cut our own flesh to feed Shrek and Douluo Three Kingdoms, right?"
"He Caitou, you and Xu Tianran are all grudges. If you are willing to be a foreign agent who sells out national interests and engages in things like being with a foreign country rather than being a domestic slave... don't blame people with lofty ideals for coming to heaven to punish them. National thief."
"Don't even think about it. With the background and bellicose sentiments of the Sun and Moon Empire, how can you tolerate a foreign puppet sitting on your head? Even if you sign an agreement with Shrek to lose power and humiliate the country, how can you be in this position? Sit still?"
He Caitou's lips moved slightly, and countless emotions such as fear, desire, and unwillingness were intertwined together, and heaven and man were at war in his heart.
Huo Yuhao stood still, staring at He Caitou with a scrutinizing gaze, quietly using the fictitious sensory function of Huan Hai Yimeng to guide him to amplify his emotions.
"If...if I can cooperate with you, can you really support me to return to the throne?"
"Hehe, He Caitou, please think clearly. You are just a dispensable chess piece for us, but if we are unwilling to protect you, you will not only be ruined, but also all hope will be cut off. Emperor It would be great if it is a candidate who is willing to cooperate, but it doesn't matter if Xu Tianran takes over. We don't care about you, but you only have one choice."
Huo Yuhao continued in a cold voice: "Whether you cooperate or not, we have all the ways to ruin your reputation and disgrace Shrek. The reason why we still keep you is just to make this drama more natural and make you willing to cooperate." It’s just more effective than using corpse puppets. We only need your body, and your brain is optional. Anyway, judging from what you did today, it’s almost as good as nothing.”
"He Caitou, don't have any psychological burden. No matter what you choose, the damage to Shrek will not be reduced even by one cent. In this case, there is nothing wrong with thinking more about yourself, even if the Poseidon Pavilion's pavilion When the Lord comes, he has to tell you that you have done well and that you have done the right thing! Otherwise, would you still have any conscience at all?"
"We are willing to give you, a person who deserves to die, a chance to save your life as a tainted witness or even go further. Shrek also supports you. If you didn't tell me, I would have guessed that the stolen blueprints were their instructions. They didn't even enter the inner courtyard. The students are here to carry out such a dangerous mission. Shrek is obviously sorry for you and uses you to draw chestnuts out of the fire first. What else do you think about? Do you think you still have a choice?!"
Of course Huo Yuhao was drawing a pie that could never be realized. Just because of He Caitou's identity, he was sentenced to death by Jing Hongchen, Kong Deming and even all the princes and ministers - when His Majesty usurped the throne, they could basically They all hold the default attitude of neither supporting nor opposing! Is it really possible to restore the former prince?
Supporting Xu Tianzhen is more reliable than He Caitou. One of the key points to maintain political stability is to try not to easily trace old accounts. That will cause big problems. But even if He Caitou's identity as the former prince is stripped away, he is still a " The "Shrek Student Who Stealed Secret Blueprints" also has huge value. It would be a pity not to make some use of it.
What's more, the initiative to reveal his identity as "former prince" rests in his own hands. Revealing this card can kill a bunch of people if necessary. For now, just use He Caitou's identity as "Shrek's criminal student" to extract some value. Later, you can decide whether to take the next step depending on the situation.
Jing Hongchen and Kong Deming hope to make this matter a big deal, but they don't want it to be so big that it will blow up everyone in the Sun and Moon Empire. At most, it's just to reveal the identity of Caitou and exchange interests when necessary, and to attack those who disagree with him.
"me……"
He Caitou's hands were cold and his whole body was trembling slightly. Huo Yuhao's coercion and inducement and the situation where no one came to rescue him for a long time after being caught made his mind confused and numb.
"He Caitou, my patience has its limit. If today...oh, there are still three hours left, and you don't give me a clear answer today, I will invite the Crown Prince to watch Shrek's criminal student and Caitou tomorrow. head."
"Shrek hasn't sent us a formal contact request until now. Do you think they really care about you? Shrek just ignores you like this. Believe it or not, I will have people take you to the Mingdu Zoo for people to visit. ?”
"Also, don't think that I can't see it. I noticed it in the Soul Fighting Competition. The way you look at Xiao Xiao is different from other people. If you are really hopeless..."
He Caitou asked tremblingly: "Qin Beast, what do you want to do..."
"Look at you, where are you thinking? I just brought her to visit you every day before you were executed, so that your image in her mind could collapse more completely. Oh, you are already about to die. Do you still need to care about this? Didn’t you say you are not afraid of death and still care about this? "
Huo Yuhao spread his hands and continued: "Of course, if she... um... is willing to stay in the Sun and Moon Empire, I will bring her to visit your grave every year in the name of a classmate or something else. If she is with someone else in the future, When you have a child, don’t care whose it is, it’s not you anyway. I will use you as a concrete example to teach him that children must be honest and trustworthy and not take things they shouldn’t touch.”
"Cooperate well with us. You can say whatever you are told and do whatever you are told. We will not treat you badly. Learn from Duke White Tiger. Why should a man worry about not having a wife? Why should he fall in love with a flower unrequitedly? And Xiao Xiao obviously has it. If you don’t have feelings for you, don’t force yourself to get in trouble with you.”
"Of course, the premise of all this is that you must be sensible. Otherwise, not only will you not get anything, I will also send you to Xu Tianran's hands to make your life worse than death, and I will give advice to the prince."
Under Huo Yuhao's continuous PUA, He Caitou finally couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Teacher Fanyu, I...I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for you! Mr. Mu, how can I have the nerve to go back to see you!"
"Ahhhhh!"
Huo Yuhao put his hands into his trouser pockets and patted He Caitou on the shoulder with a smile: "Don't worry, Imperial Army... We treat prisoners and knowledgeable collaborators preferentially. Your life is saved, and the Mingdu Zoo doesn't need to give you any more time." A cage is coming out. Watch Shrek's reaction after you are arrested, and you will know that today's decision was correct."
This feeling of controlling the fate of others is a bit too high. Huo Yuhao secretly reminded himself to try to avoid such dark places in the future and not to do wet work himself. Otherwise, it will affect the mind too much. If you are not careful, you will easily fall into this feeling. No feet.
From ancient times to the present, how many people have been overly addicted to the illusory sense of control in the secret service and lost themselves. They have misjudged themselves and have ended up miserable...
What's more, this is a place like Douluo Continent where power is based on personal force. You have to position yourself at all times and don't have any thoughts that you shouldn't have.
Today, a traitor who has been converted into a traitor has gained another meritorious deed. Xu Tianran has to give me a large medal weighing one ton.
