Chapter 1386: A Gathering of Liars
Eight hours later, in an almost completely closed basement.
In a basement of about 50 square meters, two people were hanging on the wall.
The exhaust fan on the ceiling was turning slowly, but the smell of blood in the room was still very strong.
There were two bloodied figures hanging on the wall, but one of them wasn't even breathing anymore.
— Spike, Bishop of the Divine Court, twenty... six years old, male...
Spike, covered in blood, was attached to the wall with two iron hooks due to the fact that he had lost his arms earlier.
All those who got into this basement could forget about sympathy and mercy. This place was run by the most loyal people of the alliance and Oka Los».
Spike was a fanatic, but the "Butcher" of the eye forced him to confess everything, even how he spied on a neighbor when he was a child, and used his authority to have inappropriate relationships with underage believers.
For reference, the latter in the kingdom was one of the most serious crimes.
The basement door opened and Su Xiao and Charlene walked in.
— That's all. Ask him any question you want.
A man wearing a black hood and a black rubber suit was wiping his tools not far from the entrance. He was a Butcher. He never showed his face, and only Lezon knew what he looked like.
Su Xiao looked at Spike. His body was covered in blood and his skin was missing in many places. The fact that he didn't die from excessive blood loss was a testament to how skilled this "Butcher" was».
The sight made him frown. He rarely tortured his enemies, as torture often did not allow accurate data to be obtained, because fanatics like this bishop would not reveal something important even under the influence of such brutal torture. Yes, Su Xiao often killed enemies, but he never tortured them because he didn't enjoy it. Torture in his eyes was just a means to an end, a simple and crude means.
He was more interested in fighting. Battles were a continuous process in which both sides competed and tried to find a way to kill their opponent. The feeling of walking on a knife's edge was incredible, and many people ended up becoming addicted to the sensation.
Physical torture, on the other hand, was one-sided sadism, and it was a very boring process.
When Charlene saw Su Xiao frown, it surprised her. — I didn't expect the people from the sweep group to be so compassionate.
Hearing Charlene's words, Su Xiao didn't say anything.
The butcher, who was working on his tools, chuckled with a hint of disdain.
— Where is he? Where is the array?
Su Xiao had seen the spatial coordinates several times. Considering that he needed to find secondary coordinates this time, they probably looked very simple.
— … — Spike looked at Su Xiao with a slightly confused look.
— Answer his question, " the Butcher said, making Spike flinch.
— I, I — " Spike's lips quivered, and there was determination in his lifeless eyes.
Noticing this, the Butcher picked up his tools.
— I'll only tell you in private, " Spike said and looked at Su Xiao. Although he had previously shared some secrets, most of them were taken from his personal life and did not contain anything valuable..
— Sorry, it doesn't seem to be ready yet, " the Butcher said and took a step forward, causing Su Xiao to turn his head and look at him.
— Mr. Byakuya, please come out... " The butcher suddenly stopped talking, as he felt that if he continued to speak, he would most likely die.
— Let's go outside, " Charlene said suddenly. She understood. Because of this torture, Bishop Spike wanted nothing more than to be released. In Spike's eyes, Butcher wasn't qualified to receive such information.
In Spike's eyes, even though they were both enemies, Spike would rather tell the information to Su Xiao, who had defeated him in a fair fight, rather than to Butcher, who was weak and only knew how to cause pain.
Charlene came out of the basement with a slightly disgruntled Butcher.
— Looks like I made the wrong choice — " Spike muttered and smiled. Blood was slowly trickling down his chin.
— Where is he? Su Xiao asked. Qing Gang Yin's energy gathered in Su Xiao's hands and turned into an energy shield, then became a short knife.
— Aren't you afraid I'll lie to you? Spike asked, and laughed.
— If you keep talking nonsense, I'll return it. You have three seconds, or I'll kill you — " the knife immediately moved closer to Spike's throat.
— Jinbo Street, Fortune Tellers ' House.
Spike's body felt weak, and there was a slight tingling sensation in his hands.
In the next moment, the unbearable pain left his body.
Su Xiao threw away the syringe and headed for the basement exit.
— Wait... Wait, you didn't kill me, where are you going, stop! Spike shouted as he struggled to break free, causing Su Xiao to stop and tilt his head slightly.
— Did I say I'd kill you?
— I did, " Spike said, breathing fast.
— True, but you gave the answer. See you later.
— Spike was taken aback.
The basement door slammed shut, but not completely.
Through the crack, Spike could see Su Xiao and the Butcher nodding to each other, and they looked at each other without a drop of disdain or disrespect.
At this moment, Spike realized that the Butcher's grin and his disdain for Su Xiao were fake.
These people beat him.
Charlene showed a little disdain for Su Xiao, saying that the members of the sweep group were soft-hearted, while Butcher silently supported her and openly showed his disdain for Su Xiao.
This scene made Spike instinctively lean towards Su Xiao, the 'despised' side. After all, they were both "hurt" parties.
And because of that, Spike said that he would only voice Su Xiao's answer.
— The people from the sweep group don't have such a reputation for nothing, " the Butcher said, and laughed ominously.
— Please rest assured, Bishop, we will not let you die. You will get the best possible treatment. You are very valuable material.
Spike said nothing.
After leaving the basement, Su Xiao held a map in his hands.
— What happens if a battle breaks out on Jinbo Street? Su Xiao asked after finding the right street on the map.
It was located on the eastern side of the capital and was part of the commercial district.
— Don't fight there. This is a commercial area. If a firefight broke out there, dozens or even hundreds of ordinary civilians would be killed or injured.
Although Charlene was ruthless towards the enemies, she felt that she had to protect the civilians of the alliance at all costs. Although she became a spy, she chose to become one for the sake of protecting the alliance.
— I'm not going to shoot.
— Charlene looked at Su Xiao in surprise.
Fighting people from the kingdom without firearms was tantamount to suicide.
