As soon as the Human Emperor Banner came out, I became the Lord of the Old Ones

Chapter 264 Simple Problems

The commander of the Black Dream Squad was awakened by excruciating pain.

However, it is impossible to pinpoint the source of the pain.

She felt as if hundreds of fishhooks were deeply embedded in her body, and she was being dragged out of the depths of the swamp, a symbol of death, by a violent force.

It was dark and damp all around, and it smelled of something cold and fishy.

It took her a long time to adjust to the dark and damp environment and realize that she was in the cargo compartment of an upside-down, enclosed container truck.

The commander of the Black Dream Squad's heart pounded.

Before the operation, during the reconnaissance, they noticed that a closed container truck disguised as a refrigerated truck was often parked in the back alley of the underground arena.

In fact, it was a specially modified transport vehicle designed to transport ancient monsters and terminal patients with Spirit Corrosion.

If it really is this car, then she should still be near the underground arena, not far from her partner.

Judging from the fact that the wound has not yet scabbed over and is still throbbing with pain, not much time has probably passed.

The problem is that the cargo compartment of this transport vehicle is much thicker than that of a regular refrigerated truck.

Not only was it armored, but lead plates were also sandwiched in between to ensure that neither humans, remnant souls, nor ancient monsters could get in or escape.

Of course, no matter what sounds come from inside, even if an ancient monster is torn to pieces, no one will notice.

"Your name and your position within the organization."

A voice came from the dark corner, "What is your mission?"

The commander of the Black Dream Squad looked in the direction of the sound and saw a pair of eyes even more terrifying than those of the ancient monsters.

These eyes hold an unfathomable light.

That was enough to extinguish all her hopes and illusions.

The commander of the Black Dream Squad was silent for a moment, as if he had made some kind of decision. He first let out a soft sigh of relief, and then laughed maniacally.

"At least I fought to the very last moment."

She murmured to herself, her voice rising eight octaves, "Long live the Black Dream Organization! Long live the Heroic Spirit Civilization! Long live humanity's supreme courage!"

"..."

Looking at her face, contorted with excitement, Xu Yan knew he couldn't pry open this woman's mouth with torture.

She is a fanatical member of the Black Dream organization, possessing the most sincere and unbreakable faith.

Perhaps they have also received special training, enabling them to supersede their physical bodies with their will and use secret methods to transform pain into pleasure.

For such fanatics, the more brutal the punishment, the more sacred the test.

Judging from her fearless attitude, it's unlikely she'll give in easily in a short time.

Of course, the human body has its limits.

If Xu Yan were given 24 hours to slowly and methodically manipulate her, he would definitely get any answer he wanted.

The problem is that he doesn't have 24 hours a day.

It didn't even last 24 minutes.

This place is just a wall away from the neighborhood where explosions and fighting are taking place.

Security Service agents will soon find the sealed container truck that was overturned by the shockwave and buried in the rubble.

Just to be on the safe side, he only had three minutes.

Fortunately, his problem was very simple.

Even without torture, there are many ways to get the answer in a short time.

In fact, the other party had already begun to confess. "There is a Black Dream organization mole in the Security Bureau, and the rank is quite high."

Xu Yan stared into the other person's eyes and said calmly, "You seem to know my fighting style and my guardian spirit very well."

"That 'Shield of Holy Light' is just the right counter to the 'Remnants of Night.' If I were still the same person I was a month ago, I might have fallen into your hands."

"Thinking about it carefully, Dr. Hyde and all his men are dead. Theoretically, apart from the security bureau's internal personnel, no one should know what happened deep in that abandoned mine."

"Not only that, you also seem to know a lot about the battle I experienced in the underground laboratory of Rolling Stone Castle, as well as the battle at the Shattered Star Club. Based on this information, you have assessed my latest combat data."

"It's really strange. Whether it's the abandoned mines, the underground laboratories, or the Shattered Star Club, they should all be under strict control by the Security Bureau. So, how did your Black Dream organization know this information?"

The commander of the Black Dream Squad gritted his teeth, trying his best to control every muscle fiber on his face, not revealing even the slightest expression.

Unfortunately, her slightly constricted pupils still gave Xu Yan the answer.

"Sure enough, I knew it. How could the Black Dream Organization, which was planning to turn Dawn City upside down, not have a mole within the Security Bureau to help them?"

Xu Yan continued, "Do you know who the undercover agent is?"

The commander of the Black Dream Squad gritted his teeth, a trickle of blood escaping from the corner of his mouth.

The gaze directed at Xu Yan was a complex mix of hatred, mockery, and expectation, making her expression half resolute and half obscure.

"The real end of the world is about to come."

She finally spoke, her voice hoarse as if a rusty gear was embedded in her throat, "Even if you are a terrifying being from a distant past, there is absolutely no possibility of you continuing to survive in a true apocalypse."

"No matter what your plans are, they will only hasten the end of the world."

"Only by cooperating with the Black Dream organization can we save the world and save ourselves."

Xu Yan pouted.

They realized that the woman didn't know who the mole was within the Security Bureau.

She said those words simply to pique Xu Yan's interest and buy him time.

Think about it too.

With this undercover agent's influence, he is definitely one of the few high-ranking members of the Security Bureau and should rightfully be under the control of "Snake Queen".

Given that this woman is only capable of carrying out sabotage missions, it is neither possible nor necessary for her to know the true identity of the undercover agent.

Then her usefulness is quite limited.

Thinking this, Xu Yan stretched out a finger and poked it into the wound on the chest of the Black Dream Squad commander, which had been pierced by the "Blood Moon Meteor".

The commander of the Black Dream Squad was in excruciating pain, his face turned deathly pale, he was drenched in cold sweat, and he began to tremble uncontrollably.

"Don't waste your efforts."

She said in a trembling voice, "No matter how you torture me, I will not reveal a single secret of the organization!"

"I don't intend to torture you."

Xu Yan kept twisting his fingers, widening the wound on the other person's chest, and squeezing the other person's heart.

“I know you have received special training and can definitely withstand at least 24 hours of torture, and I don’t have the time or the right tools.”

Xu Yan explained, "However, the human body is very honest in certain situations. The nervous and endocrine systems can bypass so-called willpower and directly reflect the most authentic information."

"Especially in cases of excessive blood loss, confusion, and impending death."

Xu Yan withdrew her finger.

An exceptionally thick jet of blood shot out from the chest of the Black Dream Squad commander.
