205 The Immortal Soul Yun Qingzhi and Lai Junchen's Torture Plan
Zhenbei Palace.
The dungeon.
The dungeon of Zhenbei Palace is actually divided into many different cells.
For example, the Cold Water Prison where "Blue Sea Sword Master" Jun Xing stayed, and the dark dungeon where Winged Snake and Demonic Wolf Hui Yun were imprisoned.
And now, the place where Yun Qingzhi is being held is a cell that combines the characteristics of the first two - the lightless water cell.
It is both a water prison and a dungeon. It is located in the deepest part of the entire dungeon. It is filled with water from the Luan River outside Yanbei City. The water is deep enough to reach a person's waist.
It's so cold that an ordinary person would be paralyzed from the lower body down within less than half a month.
Therefore, this is also the best place to inhibit the internal power of martial arts masters and prevent them from breaking out of the prison.
A wide, dark tunnel.
The light of the oil lamp on the rock wall seemed a bit insignificant.
Yan Wulu, led by the torturer Chang Lai Junchen, went to the place where Yun Qingzhi was imprisoned.
Lai Junchen has told Yan Wulu briefly and concisely all the situations about Yun Qingzhi during this period, which is roughly——
The torturers used human puppets made by mechanics to connect Yun Qingzhi's soul body to the puppet. As long as they tortured the puppet, the soul body could also feel pain.
Moreover, this puppet also has the function of imprisoning the soul body, which can greatly limit the strength of the soul body itself.
The mechanics who made the human-shaped puppet claimed at that time, "Even if the soul of Daluo Jinxian is attached to this puppet, it will be no different from a mortal."
only……
In Lai Junchen's personal heart, he had always secretly remembered the reminder from his adoptive father, the former chief torturer, and did not dare to truly interrogate this mysterious and beautiful soul.
Lai Junchen always felt that the prince must be interested in this soul body.
He was worried that if one day she reunited with the prince, wouldn't he, who had tortured her, be the first to suffer retaliation?
When the time comes, it’s okay to forget that your future is ruined, and maybe you won’t even be able to save your own life.
Therefore, Lai Junchen has always used an extremely gentle and courteous method, and even tried his best to avoid letting the other party see his chief torturer, and handed over all specific matters to his other torturers...
Lai Junchen thought silently in his heart.
He suddenly sighed that in just one year, under his father's guidance, he had grown so far.
The boy who tortured the criminal, Warcraft, was overjoyed when he got a little bit of information; the boy who even put himself at absolute risk in order to torture the Warwolf, I'm afraid he will never come back.
Lai Junchen silently followed behind the crown prince Yan Wulu.
As for the reason why Lai Junchen was able to obtain the name Yun Qingzhi some time ago, he also used the method of creating illusions and exploring memories that he used to deal with the demon wolf Hui Yan... This method has become more mature now and is no longer as risky as it was in the past.
Already.
But this method only worked once, and then the other party saw through it, and could no longer observe the deep memories of the other party.
Lai Junchen secretly sighed at the powerful spiritual consciousness of this soul body.
At the same time, he was complaining endlessly.
If he had known this, he should not have boasted to the prince in the first place, but now he is really in a difficult situation... He will also start to worry about his own future and life.
However, although the interrogation of Yun Qingzhi did not go smoothly, fortunately, Lai Junchen has now found the eldest son Yan Wulu.
Even though the Crown Prince Yan Wulu's persecution in the palace hall was so powerful that Lai Junchen was sweating for a while, in the face of Lai Junchen's subsequent request, Yan Wulu had no objection at all and cooperated extremely well with Lai Junchen.
I think at that time, Lai Junchen only gave the outline of his method, and Yan Wulu was willing to cooperate fully.
This trust made Lai Junchen feel a little guilty at the moment——
"The prince trusts me so much, but I am full of thoughts of protecting myself."
…
The end of the tunnel.
The wide stone door is covered with moss.
This kind of stone door is not only extremely strong, but also has excellent sound insulation effect.
The dungeon guard responsible for guarding opened the mechanism on the side, and the stone door slowly rose, looking ancient and magical.
Yan Wulu stood in front of the bluestone gate. He raised his hand slightly, and Lai Junchen and the guards following him stopped immediately.
Interrogator Lai Junchen respectfully handed the torch in Yan Wulu's hand, and then said in a low voice——
"Your Highness, it's up to you. Please remember my subordinate's words. We will be her nightmare, and you will be her only visible hope."
"Don't worry, I'm good at this."
Yan Wulu responded with a chuckle, the gloom in his eyes was still there, but there was a sense of intimacy, which was completely different from the previous coercive power of the palace.
Lai Junchen was in a daze.
Yan Wulu has already entered the "lightless water prison"...
This is one of the deepest cells in the entire palace dungeon, and it may no longer be called a cell.
It is simply built from a natural stone cave with a sloping bottom, and untreated dirty river water pours directly into the low-lying prison bottom.
Ordinary prisoners are usually chained in the river, sometimes with handcuffs and anklets.
The precisely calculated length of the chain prevents the prisoner from moving freely and can only be soaked in the dirty river water in an extremely inconvenient posture...
The stone door opens.
A ray of grayish yellow light shot into the water prison, directly shining on the "woman in white" who was bound by chains.
The woman seemed to have been in the dark for too long and was illuminated by this sudden "bright light", which made her look a little confused.
Yan Wulu walked in slowly.
A set of stairs has been repaired at the bottom of the water cell, leading from a high point to where the prisoners are, so that the interrogators and torturers will not get wet by the dirty river water.
Yan Wulu inserted the torch in his hand into a specially designed hole in the stone wall of the water prison.
The light of the torch gradually filled the entire water prison...
As a result, the face of the "woman in white" became clear. It was the soul of the immortal who was proud and arrogant in the past - Yun Qingzhi.
The puppets made by the mechanics look extremely lifelike.
So much so that at a glance, Yan Wulu thought he was seeing the real Yun Qingzhi who had recovered his body.
Or, after being possessed by a soul, this humanoid puppet will automatically transform into the original human form of the soul body?
Yan Wulu didn't understand it, but thought it was amazing.
If there is a chance in the future, he would also like to learn the art of machine learning.
Looking at Yun Qingzhi's position again...
The white clothes embroidered with Tengyun on his body have lost their former luster, and the dozen or so blood stains on his body are definitely not caused by Yan Dong's injuries.
The long hair that was originally tied up like a cloud on the temples is now just scattered behind her back. The beautiful and fair complexion on her face in the past is now closer to pale due to weakness, but the arrogance in her eyes is still the same as before...
Yan Wulu came to the bottom of the water prison near the river and squatted down.
His right hand slightly raised Yun Qingzhi's chin, allowing him to see Yun Qingzhi's face clearly.
I have to say, it should be Lai Junchen's torture "technique" that made Yun Qingzhi look pale and beautiful at this moment, or is it that beautiful people look good under any circumstances?
"I... won't tell you anything..."
The weak ethereal voice sounded so resolute and powerful, but Yan Wulu acted extremely unconcerned.
He remembered Junchen's words to remind him and said slowly——
"My prince, actually, I don't necessarily need you to explain anything. If you want to tell me, it's best. But if you don't tell me, I won't lose anything."
"...You still want to live, right?"
When Yun Qingzhi heard this, his expression was slightly stunned.
One is Yan Wulu's words. He doesn't need to explain anything. Then why waste precious soul medicine to revive himself? And he also spared his life from Yan Dong's hands.
Furthermore, she had just shown that she was ready to die. Why would the other party think that she still wanted to live?
Moreover, Yun Qingzhi suddenly felt a little emotional in his mind. From his perspective, Yan Wulu actually had a different kind of dangerous seductive charm...
Yan Wulu was enjoying Yun Qingzhi's current doubts.
The cold and indifferent male voice was full of echoes in this small, lightless water prison.
"If you want to die, you can kill yourself when I ask my father to be merciful. There will even be many opportunities later, but you don't."
"...Because there is still a glimmer of hope in your heart. Although I don't know what this hope is yet, this glimmer of hope still exists until now."
Yun Qingzhi felt as if he had been completely seen through by the person in front of him, who revealed his deepest thoughts in one sentence.
She didn't answer.
Yan Wulu released his right hand and stood up slowly.
Yun Qingzhi's head dropped weakly for a moment.
Yan Wulu was very satisfied.
Thinking about it, as long as Yun Qingzhi still has the desire to live, the subsequent plan can still be implemented...
"My prince is not someone who takes pleasure in torturing others, especially when it comes to treating beautiful women..."
Yan Wulu said calmly.
I don't know why, but it felt like the woman in the water prison seemed to be relieved.
"...However, I want to play a game with you, an extremely simple game."
Yun Qingzhi still lowered his head, but Yan Wulu knew that she was listening.
"My prince will visit you every seven days from now on. He will only ask three questions about yourself each time. You must answer me truthfully."
"... After you answer, I will move you to a more comfortable cell. Finally, I will release you. I will even reshape your body."
"...But if you don't answer, or answer wrongly on purpose, no one knows the consequences."
Yan Wulu stood proudly, his gaze slightly downwards, and he glanced at the woman in white under the cell.
He is now in an absolute upper position. His glance, smile, and every move are filled with indescribable grace and confidence.
He spoke leisurely, with a gentle tone, and continued——
"First question, your name..." This was a question Yan Wulu asked knowingly.
"..."
Yun Qingzhi's lips seemed to move, but in the end he didn't say anything.
"Second question, your master..."
"..."
"The third question, your immortal realm..."
"..."
After the three questions were asked, there was an almost eternal silence.
Yan Wulu glanced at the beautiful woman behind the cell, squatted down again, gently lifted the hair covering her face with his right hand, and said calmly——
"I will come see you again in seven days. If you did not cooperate well today, the person responsible for guarding you will give you the treatment you deserve..."
The torch goes out.
The stone gate is closed.
The small water prison once again fell into deathly silence and darkness. Only the faintest sound of breathing could prove the existence of life here...
…
Outside the "Lightless Water Prison".
As soon as Yan Wulu came out, Lai Junchen and others immediately saluted.
After signaling to stand up, Yan Wulu remembered the words of his father Yan Dong - "Immortals are also human beings."
As long as we are human, we will have fears, desires, and weaknesses.
Lai Junchen walked lightly to the side of the Crown Prince Yan Wulu, and said respectfully——
"Your Majesty, how is the situation inside?"
"As you said, almost everything you expected happened, but...she looks arrogant and strong on the outside, but she is actually an extremely fragile person on the inside."
"...Such a person is obviously easy to torture."
Yan Wulu said, and the second half of his words had the meaning of holding Lai Junchen accountable.
At the same time, Yan Wulu slowly turned around.
His eyes looked directly at Lai Junchen, as if he could see through people's hearts.
Lai Junchen felt slightly trembling...
Yan Wulu suddenly pressed his shoulder with a hand, and the low and cold voice continued to sound——
"This time, use all your abilities and don't have to worry anymore."
"...Come to Junchen, you must know that the reason why this prince promoted you is because of your previous determination to put life and death at risk for the sake of 'torture art', not your current skills of guessing your intentions and protecting yourself!"
When Lai Junchen heard this, his eyes were shocked. He was already used to having the prince see through his heart, but this... was the first time he heard the term "torture art" from someone else's mouth.
Moreover, His Royal Highness is the Crown Prince who has shown kindness to me.
He had always thought that everyone had a contemptuous attitude toward torture.
Even among the torturers under his command, most of them were just doing it for a living or to satisfy their own perverted hobbies, and none of them were as sincere as him.
Lai Junchen was frightened and happy for a moment. If he met a confidant, he immediately knelt down, bowed his head and said -
"Subordinate, I understand! With the words of the Crown Prince, Junchen will not disappoint His Highness the Crown Prince!"
Lai Junchen was touched inside for a moment and became emotional.
He had always pursued the art of torture before, but his adoptive father taught him to learn to figure out his intentions.
He didn't understand it before, but later he understood it a little and became the chief interrogator.
Lai Junchen originally thought that it was what his father taught him that led to his promotion. He had already decided to calm down and learn his father's skills.
But now, he finally understands...
It is His Royal Highness who has the same aspirations as him, and he is the one who has taken a fancy to his ideal!
That was the first time that Lai Junchen felt that the art he pursued would be recognized and valuable art!
After Yan Wulu left.
Lai Junchen stood up slowly and looked at everyone with a calm expression.
He decided to go all out for every torture in the future and no longer have any worries.
He must regain his original intention and pursue the highest level of torture art that he has ever pursued!
Lai Junchen gave orders to the torturers around him and said -
"From now on, except for His Royal Highness, no one can say a word to Yun Qingzhi."
"... From now on, the routine punishment of Yun Qingzhi will be resumed, and the person who performs the punishment every day must be a fat and rude guard, wearing a terrifying mask that covers his entire appearance, and at the same time... the punishment will be doubled!
"
…
There is a symptom called Stockholm Syndrome.
It refers to the fact that some hostages sometimes become dependent on their kidnappers after being threatened with kidnapping, and even assist the kidnappers to hinder rescuers...
In people's sex and love, there is also a kind of masochism.
The whipping of the whip will arouse them, and the insults and insults will excite them.
Moreover, it is said that such a person does not have to be born...
