The villains are redeemed, and the heroines cry and beg for forgiveness.

What lies deep within the starry sky? What exactly is there?

Did the "General Regency" really venture into the depths of space, and did it truly resolve the issue of those alien species?

These are all answers that Gu Ran really wants to know.

"Hehehehe, you are indeed the most powerful human I have ever encountered, but do you think that can threaten me?"

The demon, held in Gu Ran's grasp, showed no fear whatsoever; instead, it let out a strange laugh.

"Your laughter..." Gu Ran frowned slightly, and couldn't help but think of a novel from his previous life, "Could it be from the Soul Palace?"

The grotesque demon suddenly felt a huge deformation in its "body," and this huge deformation brought it immense pain.

Seeing that the evil spirits refused to listen to reason and were forced to drink the punishment, Gu Ran was too lazy to indulge their bad habits.

Even if you are an elder of the Soul Hall, once you fall into my hands, you will have to bow down to me.

"Stop! Stop! Stop!"

The demon was starting to feel the strain and shouted "Stop!" three times.

However, Gu Ran completely ignored it and continued giving it her "gymnastics massage".

First, it was stretched to its left and right limits, and then stretched to its up and down limits. The demon was like a lump of clay, which Gu Ran could knead and stretch at will.

Furthermore, Gu Ran simultaneously transformed his mental energy into countless sharp arrows, relentlessly "serving" it, piercing its body with countless holes.

Gu Ran already knew that the power of telekinesis was specifically developed to deal with evil spirits.

Conscious beings are a tricky and difficult thing for others to deal with, but for Gu Ran, who has the power of thought, it is a perfect match for his expertise.

For a demon that has never suffered such pain, such torment is indeed torture.

It didn't take long for it to beg for mercy.

But this despicable human seemed not to hear him and continued his cruel torture.

"Okay, okay, I'll tell you, I'll tell you whatever you want to ask!"

The demon begged for mercy.

After the demon finished speaking, Gu Ran continued to torture him for another ten seconds before stopping.

The reason Gu Ran did this was because he knew that demons were cunning by nature and liked to manipulate people's hearts, which meant they liked to play tricks in secret.

Then let's first deflate its arrogance and instill fear in it.

Moreover, it's probably going to pull some tricks later, so it's better to punish it first; that wouldn't be unfair to it.

"I'll give you ten breaths. If your answer doesn't grab my attention or satisfy me, then... we'll continue the game we were playing."

Gu Ran gave the demon a slight smile.

This smile looks very sunny, but it makes the evil spirits tremble.

"Oh, right, I will be checking each of your answers to the following information one by one. If there are any discrepancies, then both of you will be punished..."

After Gu Ran finished speaking, he imprisoned the other demons in cages made of his mind power, severing their connection.

As conscious beings, demons do not communicate in the same way as humans "speak," but rather through direct communication between thoughts.

Gu Ran communicated with it not by speaking, but by communicating with its mind.

If the demon wants to "communicate," it must find a human host and manipulate it to speak.

The power of thought can effectively isolate the mental communication between demons, truly imprisoning them.

When the demons realized they could no longer communicate with each other, they were startled and looked at Gu Ran with fear in their eyes.

"Alright, you can speak now." Gu Ran looked at the demon in front of him.

“Alright, alright, I’ll tell you…” The demon paused as he spoke, seemingly considering how to phrase his words.

However, Gu Ran saw through its little scheme.

Sure enough, even though the demon had been taught a lesson before, it still couldn't stop it from using its tricks.

However, Gu Ran remained calm and did not retaliate for the time being.

“We come from the starry sky above you, shouldn’t you know that? Didn’t we descend directly from there?” The demon looked very confused, as if wondering why Gu Ran was asking such an obvious and simple question.

"Ten, nine..." Gu Ran's countdown began.

"Hey, no, no, no, human, wasn't I answering you?" The demon got a little anxious when it saw Gu Ran counting down.

“Eight, seven…” Gu Ran remained completely unmoved.

"Human, what exactly do you want? Haven't I already cooperated with you?!" The demon seemed enraged and said aggressively, "If you continue like this, we might as well fight to the death! Even if you kill me, so what? You can kill one of me, but can you kill thousands upon thousands of me?"

"Moreover, if you kill me, a special mark will be left on your body. My people will definitely find you and avenge me! Don't even think about removing the special mark, because it's really impossible for you humans to do it, not even for you!"

"Three, two..." Gu Ran remained the same, counting down at the same pace.

But the coldness in his eyes grew stronger.

Just as Gu Ran was about to utter the word "one," the demon quickly added:

“We have no idea about such things. Unlike you humans, we don’t have a home like this. We were born in the starry sky and have no fixed place to live. We have been drifting in the starry sky. It’s really tragic. We were forced to come to this place.”

If demons had bodies like humans, they would be crying their eyes out right now.

It must be said that every demon is a master actor, their emotional shifts are incredibly natural.

But Gu Ran was not about to be fooled. He calmly continued to ask, "So how long did it take you to get here?"

Seeing that Gu Ran remained unmoved, the demon's surging emotions gradually subsided. It pondered for a moment and said, "I don't know. There is no way to calculate time in the starry sky. It just feels like a very, very long time. Then suddenly a revelation arose in my heart, telling us to come in this direction."

Gu Ran frowned slightly.

A revelation suddenly arose in my mind?

What is the reason?

"So... what is your purpose in coming here? Is it to exterminate humanity?" Gu Ran continued to ask.

"Purpose... to exterminate humanity? No, of course not. Our purpose in descending here... is that we have no purpose!" the demon said matter-of-factly. "Why would we deliberately exterminate humanity? Of course, although we did not deliberately exterminate humanity, it doesn't matter if humanity is wiped out because of us. It's not something we care about."

Gu Ran glanced at the demon.

The last sentence doesn't seem like a lie.

So, it seems... these alien species were wandering in the starry sky when they suddenly had a strange revelation that they were heading towards humanity.

Once they arrived here, they acted solely on instinct. However, because their instinctive actions posed too great a threat to humans, he mistook them for invaders.

Gu Ran mentally sorted out the logical relationships.

The demon glanced at Gu Ran furtively, but then let out a miserable scream.

"Aaaaah—human, you broke your promise! Why are you messing with me again? Stop it! Stop it! Didn't I already tell you? I've told you everything you wanted to know!"

The demon frantically sent its words into Gu Ran's mind.

After tormenting the demon for a while, Gu Ran stopped, looked at the demon lying in a puddle of mud, and said, "Hmph, don't you know why I did this? You lied to me and hid things from me."

"No...no!" The demon looked weak and listless, and even when he was arguing for himself, he seemed a little breathless.

"Then how do you explain your familiarity with humans?" Gu Ran looked into its eyes. "You've seen humans before, and been here before, haven't you? Otherwise, you wouldn't be so familiar with humans. Don't deny it; what you've shown before has already explained everything."

The evil spirits could not have just descended today. Their familiarity with humans, as they had shown before, is not like they only discovered humans today.

Seeing Gu Ran's piercing gaze, the demon's prepared excuses suddenly became unspeakable, because it knew that no matter how it tried to explain or cover it up, this human would see through it.

This human is absolutely terrifying!

"I...I..." Even with the demon's cunning and eloquent nature, he was speechless at this moment.

"what!!!"

Before the demon could make up its mind, another wave of excruciating pain struck.

Gu Ran calmly watched the demon writhing in agony over its "body," and only after it quieted down and stopped screaming did he slowly say:

"So, can you tell me now? My patience is limited. If you are unwilling to tell me, then I will go and ask your clansmen. There are several of your clansmen over there."

"I believe I should still be able to ask the questions I want to ask, but as for you... there's no need for you to continue existing."

Gu Ran's words remained calm, but this only made the demons feel more terrified.

"I myself cannot be sure whether that counts as my visit! Because we are different from you humans. We can exchange information among our own kind, just like you humans communicate by talking. We can also pass on knowledge directly among our own kind, just like you humans teach students."

"However, our inheritance is the direct transmission of information and knowledge, without distortion or omission."

259. The mutant's target is actually Xue Xiling?! 4k

The demon dared not delay or play any tricks any longer and quickly replied.

It was genuinely afraid of Gu Ran, this human.

They couldn't win a fight, and their tricks were immediately exposed.

And most importantly, this human actually possesses the ability to attack it and torment it.

this is too scary!

It had never experienced such pain before, and it was actually a little scared in the face of Gu Ran's coercion.
