Shushan: Extinction

Chapter 99 Being Treated as a Sweetheart

Suddenly, Gong Tianwu took a few deep breaths, then quickly reminded himself to stay calm, and then quickly swallowed a Bingxin Pill to calm his mind. Only then did he regain his composure, and began to slip into the bushes next to him and walk forward along the white stone path.

As for why we had to walk among the bushes, it was of course because we were afraid of being bumped into by people coming from the opposite direction.

After walking about another two or three hundred meters, Gong Tianwu discovered that there was a wall at the end of the white stone path, and the color of the wall was surprisingly snow-white!

This made Gong Tianwu quite confused:

Houses like this one in the mountains and forests are actually very conservative.

If it is a monastery or Taoist temple, the walls are usually ochre or vermilion.

Because a kind of associated mineral called ochre can be found in red sandstone. After grinding this thing into powder, mix it with water and brush it on the wall. After it dries, it will become a distinct ochre red. In places where productivity is underdeveloped, this is a very cheap and readily available paint.

If it is a residential house, people would not bother to do anything fancy and would just keep the original color of the stone wall.

Therefore, it would be extremely strange to see a white wall exposed in such a place.

Gong Tianwu had only heard that the architectural style of green tiles, white walls and horse-head walls was only found in the relatively wealthy Jiangnan region. All this ultimately came down to the high cost of painting walls white, and no poor family could afford it.

For Gong Tianwu, this should be the core area. He didn't intend to try to take advantage of everything at once. It was obvious that there were buildings and houses inside the white walls.

Gong Tianwu’s plan was to enter a building, preferably find some relevant information and then leave.

After getting out, I will use the information I brought out as clues to find out who built the buildings here, which force they belong to, what benefits I can get from them, and then decide on the next plan of action.

This is just like picking up a girl. The first step is to get her WeChat. Don't think too much about seafood for now.

As a result, when Gong Tianwu arrived at the bottom of the white wall and was looking at it carefully and preparing to jump up, he suddenly found that a door about 20 meters away was pushed open and a person walked out.

The door was so delicately made that it almost blended into the white wall, so it was hard to notice it until it was pushed open.

This man was wearing a green cloak with a strange eye pattern on it, carrying a dagger and a black belt. He looked at Gong Tianwu coldly.

The door opened and people came out silently and extremely quickly.

Gong Tianwu was also shocked, but fortunately he had made a corresponding plan when he sneaked in. He immediately pointed out with his left index finger, and a blood arrow technique was formed in an instant and shot out.

This is also Gong Tianwu's strongest long-range attack method at present, but the man in front of him lifted his cloak and casually swept away the blood arrow technique, and even said sarcastically:

"So he is a minions of the Blood God Sect."

Gong Tianwu was about to fight back when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his back and immediately realized that he had been hit.

A sharp dagger had already pierced deeply into his vest.

When I turned around, I found that two more people were slowly standing up from the bushes in the distance. They were dressed exactly the same as me, except that the color of their belts was gray.

One of them even made a throwing and retracting gesture, it seemed that he had been ambushed by him.

Gong Tianwu was about to gather his true energy and fight to the death, but he found that the man in front of him had turned around and walked away in a pretentious manner, leaving only one sentence:

"He is a pawn at the third or fourth level of Qi Refining. He must be used as a chess piece. We are short of manpower now. After you capture him, ask him what happened and then throw him into hard labor."

After hearing these words, Gong Tianwu's heart moved, and a distorted and painful expression immediately appeared on his face. Then he staggered back two steps, fell to the ground, and gasped heavily.

After hearing this, the two people at the back came forward. One of them snapped his fingers and shot out a green bean-sized pill that landed right in front of Gong Tianwu.

The pill quickly emitted smoke. Gong Tianwu was not aware of it and after smelling a hint of it, he felt dizzy and passed out.

***
I don’t know how long it took,

Gong Tianwu felt as if there was a shouting voice coming from far away.
The sound came from far away and soon brought him back to consciousness.

At this time, he was tied to a chair, wearing a rough linen suit, and it was obvious that he had been searched thoroughly.

Although the wound on my back was still aching, I felt a slight cool sensation, probably because of the medicine I had applied.

When he opened his eyes, he saw a man with a sinister face standing in front of him and said:
"are you awake?"

The man's skin was not as white as normal, and it was obvious that he had not seen the light for many years. He had a bunch of keys on his waist, which jingled when he moved.

Gong Tianwu felt that his physical strength was recovering rapidly, but his spiritual power was in chaos and confusion, and his blood wheel power could not function at all.

He looked around and realized that this should be a typical interrogation room.

There were no windows around, and there were a few torches stuck on the walls. Bloodstained torture instruments were placed on the shelves against the wall.

Next, Gong Tianwu deliberately panted slightly, and then said in a weak voice:

"Where am I? Who are you?"

The man was about to speak when he heard a voice coming from outside:
"Xin Wu, Commander Xu has spoken. We are short of manpower now. This kid looks young and strong. You can have fun with him. If he dies, go find Commander Xu and be punished."

After Xin Wu heard this, he said impatiently:

"I know, I know! Get out of here now and don't get in my way."

The person opposite is no pushover either:
"Fuck you, I'm going to sleep. If you don't prepare a good meal tomorrow, I'll show you how I'll deal with you."

Soon, a rumbling sound was heard outside, and silence returned to the place.

Xin Wu couldn't wait to come forward, grabbed Gong Tianwu's hair, and said with a grin:
"You are just a small character at the third level of Qi Refining, and you are a blood slave of the Blood God Sect. At first glance, you are just a pitiful pawn."

"I think there's nothing to ask, because you won't get anything out of it. It's a waste of time."

The man's attack was extremely heavy-handed. Gong Tianwu only felt a sharp pain in his scalp. He was originally tied to a chair, and after being pulled like this, his whole body leaned forward involuntarily.

Xin Wu then slapped him twice in the face, then took out a pliers-shaped torture instrument from the side, inserted it directly into his mouth, and pulled out two of Gong Tianwu's teeth!
Although Gong Tianwu was able to resist at this time, he didn't know the specific situation here, so he could only endure the severe pain and let him do what he wanted!
Of course, when it came time to scream and act cowardly, Gong Tianwu did not hold back at all.

In fact, screaming is a small matter. Resisting the urge to break the ropes and give this grandson a hard beating is what tests Gong Tianwu's willpower the most.

Xin Wu threw the two bloody teeth onto the tray beside him, picked up the towel beside him to wipe his hands, and nodded with satisfaction.

This move is called a show of power in interrogation, and is also called a big paperweight, a killing stick, etc.

The newcomers here are still arrogant, so we have to do something tough first to put down their arrogance, otherwise it will be difficult to deal with them in the future.

At this time, Xin Wu looked at the prisoner who was slumped on the interrogation chair, his face covered with blood, snot, tears and sweat, and nodded with satisfaction.

Based on his years of experience, this guy's psychological defenses have been completely broken, and now it's time for him to do whatever he wants!
As soon as he thought of this, Xin Wu suddenly felt a surge of heat in his crotch, and a mysterious smile appeared on his face.

Two minutes later, Xin Wu brought a basin of cold water from the side and poured it on the prisoner's head with a splash, washing it. Then he brought a glass of water and handed it over, saying in a softer tone:
"Here, there are anesthetics and hemostatics in it, rinse your mouth and drink it."

After the other party did as he was told, Xin Wu continued to give him a slap and a date:
"I'm sorry for what happened just now. It's not that we want to embarrass you. It's the rule from above that anyone caught must be beaten with a stick like this to show their power. Otherwise, it will be difficult to discipline him in the future. What's your name, brother?"

Sure enough, the prisoner in front of him showed a panic expression and said in a trembling voice:
"My name is Xue Wu." Xin Wu laughed.

"What a coincidence, we two brothers are really destined to be together. What are you doing here? Why are you carrying these things?"

After saying this, Xin Wu took a tray from the side, which contained nothing but the Dongzhen Potion and Ding Lan Ruler that Gong Tianwu was carrying.

When asked, Gong Tianwu already had a plan in mind, and said vaguely with a bitter face:

"I don't know either. I was ordered to go to Lou Ming Sect to do some work. Then I heard that Dengxian City was very prosperous and the blood and flesh essence I had stored there could be sold for a good price, so I went there."

"One night, someone came to me and showed me the elder token of our sect."

"He said there was a traitor hiding here and asked me to check it out. He said if I did a good job, he would promote me to the position of Blood Field Manager. He even prepared all these things for me, but..."

After Xin Wu heard this, he began to take notes and then said:
"What does that man look like?"

Gong Tianwu smiled bitterly and shook his head, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and then said:
"I don't know, because that person looks very ordinary. I have never seen him before. His expression is always deadpan, very wooden, and his voice is also very flat."

There was a loud "bang" sound, and it was Xin Wu who suddenly slammed the table and said angrily:

"How dare you lie?"

Gong Tianwu said hurriedly and panicked:
"No?"

Xin Wu yelled:
"Not yet. Can you repeat what you said before? Also, what is the name of that person? When did he come to see you?"

This guy used a common torture tactic, which was to make people confess again and again. If it was made up on the spot, there would definitely be some mistakes in the details?
However, Gong Tianwu is not an ordinary person. He has received a lot of information and watched a lot of movies on Earth. He also made corresponding plans before coming here. After all, if he is caught, it is highly likely that he will be interrogated.

So he used the "anchoring method" in response. Simply put, it is to make what he made up as realistic as possible.

There are only four indispensable elements in a story: time, place, characters and events.

Since I have fabricated the event, the other three points should be as real as possible and anchored in real objects.

Gong Tianwu's anchor was the shopkeeper who he went to the shop to buy Ding Lan ruler that day, and he also included the place and time.

With such words, no matter how many times you ask, it will be difficult to find any inconsistencies. As for the conversation between two people, it should be controlled within three sentences. If you can't even remember the details of three sentences, then why are you lying to others? You'd better get out of here and go home to farm.

After Xin Wu interrogated Gong Tianwu several more times, he found that there was no inconsistency, so he softened his tone and asked Gong Tianwu to sign his confession with his fingerprints.

After finishing these things, Xin Wu washed his hands and came over, then said to Gong Tianwu leisurely:

"Do you want to live or die?"

Gong Tianwu said hurriedly and fearfully:
"Of course I want to live! Of course I want to live!!"

Xin Wu laughed and said:
"According to our custom, once someone comes here with ill intentions, we will chop off one hand first. If they don't obey, we will add a leg. Do you want to keep your left hand or your right hand?"

Gong Tianwu was shocked and said:

"Fifth Master, please have mercy on me! I've told you everything you asked me to say, but I really don't know the rest!"

Xin Wu took a few steps forward. Gong Tianwu was tied to the torture chair, and Xin Wu was standing. When he stopped, his crotch happened to be facing Gong Tianwu's face intentionally or unintentionally. Then Xin Wu said:

"In fact, there are ways to spare you, but as the saying goes, no merit, no reward. We don't have much friendship, and you don't look like someone who is willing to obey. Why should I let you go?"

Gong Tianwu immediately said without hesitation:

"Fifth Master, I will definitely listen to you. If you say go east, I will never go west."

Xin Wu showed a sly smile on his face:
"No need to be so troublesome. Just open your mouth and serve me well. If you serve me well, then you will be our close friend and good things will come to you."

Gong Tianwu said in panic:

"What service?"

Xin Wu slapped him hard:

"Damn it, you are ignorant, aren't you? First open your mouth and let me feel good, then lift it up and let me pass it, otherwise, I will pull out all your teeth, do you want to try?"

Gong Tianwu said anxiously:

"This won't do. What if someone comes in and sees me? How can I live my life with dignity?"

Xin Wu immediately started punching and kicking him, but Gong Tianwu refused to give in.

He could only say that he was serving the Fifth Master just to survive. If others saw him and spread the news, there would be more gay lovers flocking to him, and he would rather die.

At this time, Xin Wu was already extremely aroused and couldn't stop. Moreover, he felt that what the little sweetheart in front of him said made some sense.

After hesitating for a while, he untied Gong Tianwu from the interrogation chair, checked whether the binding was firm, and took him to the side.

After passing through a long passage, Xin Wu led Gong Tian up five steps and arrived at the upper level.

You can see cells on both sides of the passage, but most of them are empty. Only a few of them still have people imprisoned in them, but they all look obviously dying.

Gong Tianwu showed a look of fear and timidity on his face, but he kept all of this in mind.

After reaching the end of this level of cells, there is a spiral staircase that needs to be climbed upwards, and when you go up the staircase you can see a large iron door that is tightly sealed.

After walking out of the big iron gate, you can see the words "Level A" written here, and the rooms on both sides are obviously much more spacious and comfortable. They are obviously not cells, but should be where the jailers live.

There was no one in the corridor on the first floor. The doors of all the rooms on both sides were closed, and snoring sounds could be heard from some of the rooms.

And this is not an isolated case. It can be seen that it must be late at night or early in the morning, and everyone is fast asleep.

At the same time, you can see that there are obvious water stains, dirty shoe prints in the corridor of the room. On the hook next to the door hangs an oilcloth cloak with a hood. This thing is made of silk coated with tung oil. It is very expensive and ordinary people cannot afford it.

So it is not difficult to infer that it is raining outside, and it is raining heavily.

Finally, from the fact that no one questioned people along the way and the smooth passage was unobstructed, it can be seen that this place must have been peaceful for a long time and nothing has happened in many years, so no one cares about things like Xin Wu taking the prisoner directly back to his room and insulting him.

Soon, Xin Wu brought Gong Tianwu to his room. He first checked the ropes that tied Gong Tianwu up, then closed the door and began to take off his pants in a hurry:

"My dear, I have already met all your requests. If you keep trying to hold back, I will skin you alive!"

As soon as this guy took it out, he kicked Gong Tianwu in the knee to make him kneel down, and then prepared to grab the latter's hair and start working.

But in the next second, Gong Tianwu suddenly kneed Xin Wu hard under his crotch!

This hit could really be said to be an all-out effort. Not to mention Xin Wu's vital parts, even his hip bone was directly cracked into seventeen or eighteen pieces, becoming a comminuted fracture. The whole person was knocked flying more than a meter high.

But Gong Tianwu was afraid that this guy would make some noise before dying, so while hitting him with his knee, he also shook his arms!
How amazing was the full force of the Martial Saint? The tendon ropes that bound him snapped and broke directly. When Xin Wu's vitals were hit, Gong Tianwu chopped his throat with a palm, choking the scream before death directly in his throat.
