Hearing what Uesugoshi said, Su Mo cast a suspicious look at him.
"What did you really notice?"
It was obviously the first time the two met and they didn't even say a word. What could he notice?
Rather than Uesugi actually noticing the abnormality, he thought it was more likely because of his old father's filter.
In the eyes of parents, their children must be good children.
"certainly!"
Uesugi nodded solemnly.
"Have you noticed that when he broke out his bloodline just now, there was no obvious sign of dragon transformation on his body."
Having said this, he stretched out his hand to touch Yuan Zhennu's body and explored it for a while before nodding affirmatively.
"There is not even a subtle phenomenon of dragon transformation. This does not seem to be the result of being eroded by the dragon blood. I have seen many ghosts before. If, like you said before, he had already fallen a few years ago,
It’s impossible to remain normal now.”
The corruption of dragon blood is irreversible. If Yuan Zhennu had really turned into a ghost a long time ago, she wouldn't have shown no signs of it until now.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhisheng clenched his fists and spoke with a trembling voice.
"But what's going on with the childish bloodthirsty character? If he hadn't already degenerated into a ghost, how could he have become like this?"
If you think about it carefully, when he killed the ghost-turned-Yuan Jingnu, there was no sign of dragon transformation on Yuan Jingnu.
But this alone is not enough to prove that Yuan Jingnu did not become a ghost.
The corpses around his body, as well as his possessed bloodthirsty state, are more powerful evidence than the dragon transformation state.
To do such a cruel thing, even if it is not a ghost, it is something worse than a ghost, so he has never doubted Yuan Jingnu's lineage all these years.
It wasn't until Su Mo and Uesugi opened their mouths that he realized there were other possibilities.
Hearing this question, Uesugoshi still shook his head.
"I don't know what this kid's character is, but his so-called murderous intention seems to have little to do with dragon blood."
"If the rage caused by dragon's blood would be an indiscriminate desire to kill, it would be an emotional frenzy that would overwhelm reason, similar to the liberation of animal nature. But what this child just did was not like that. He has different attitudes towards us, no matter what
It looks like he was corrupted by dragon blood."
Uesugoshi recalled the cases he had seen before and talked eloquently.
Su Mo then remembered that in addition to his combat prowess, this old man had also served as the Shadow Emperor for a long time. Although he defected from the Sheqi Eighth Family, he never forgot the knowledge he learned there.
Having been a ramen chef for decades, he is still very familiar with the secrets and ghost information of the Sheqi Eighth Family, and he is considered the person who knows this information best.
Hearing what Uesugoshi said, Minamoto frowned.
He is a ghost slayer, and he has killed quite a few ghosts. Looking back at this moment, he quickly realized that something was wrong. The state of Yuan Jingnu was indeed different from ordinary ghosts.
"But if it's not dragon blood, what else could it be? With his original character, it's absolutely impossible for him to do such a thing!"
Recalling the timid brother in his memory who had been hiding behind him, Yuan Zhisheng did not think that the murderer Yuan Zhisheng was in a normal state.
On the day he killed Yuan Zhinv, Yuan Zhinv's expression sometimes looked like a childish one, and sometimes she looked as ferocious as a demon. If it wasn't for the dragon's blood, why would there be such a sudden change?
Hearing Minamoto's words, Uesugi frowned and then shook his head.
"I don't know the specific reason. However, I saw how he looked before. Although his emotions were a little extreme, he didn't seem to have lost his rationality. Although he looked a little crazy, it didn't look like the result of dragon transformation. On the contrary, it seemed like
——”
At this point, he paused slightly, as if he was recalling some symptoms he had seen.
At this moment, Su Mo's voice suddenly sounded.
"Mental illness?"
Upon hearing this, Uesugoshi immediately clapped his hands.
"Yes, that's right! It's mental illness!"
Dragon's blood can indeed make humans become manic, but the factors that make humans become manic and bloodthirsty are not just dragon's blood, but also other factors, such as... mental problems.
"?"
Hearing the conclusion that the two people came to, Yuan Zhisheng's eyes widened and he looked at his sleeping brother in utter shock.
Mental illness?
This reason is very good and very strong.
Mental illness can indeed explain the inexplicable desire for aggression and killing, but what else?
Mental illness shouldn't be formed overnight, but what's the reason for this sudden change in my brother?
"As for the different states of Yuan Jiaoyou you have seen, it is very likely that she has a split personality."
Su Mo opened his mouth and perfectly explained Yuan Zhisheng's problem.
If you have been suppressing negative emotions on another personality, they will not show it at ordinary times and will only explode at critical moments.
There was indeed nothing wrong with this explanation, but Yuan Zhisheng found it difficult to accept it.
Yuan Jingnu's identity has changed from a ghost to a mental patient. It seems that she has changed a lot, but in fact she seems to have not changed much.
"Even so, it can't wash away the blood on his hands."
Recalling those girls who were made into dolls, Yuan Zhisheng said in a deep voice.
Mental illness is never a reason to escape punishment.
"But what if his mental illness was deliberately manipulated by others?"
Su Mo asked casually.
"Deliberately manipulated?"
Hearing this, not only Minamoto Chisei, but even Uesugoshi also looked over.
"What's going on? Is there a hidden secret behind this?"
Uesugoshi immediately asked.
"In this regard, let's interrogate him later!"
Su Mo spread his hands and said.
"Even if we don't discuss the issue of mental illness, before that, we finally captured Dragon King, the second leader of the Menggui, shouldn't we try to get some information from him first?"
Hearing this, Yuan Zhisheng hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
However, thinking back to Yuan's childlike appearance before, he felt that there was no need to have high hopes.
·
Things were just as Yuan Zhisheng thought.
After they finished their lunch, returned to Sheqi Ba's house, and tied up Minamoto Jiko, they didn't get a word of information from Minamoto Jiko.
"Don't try to struggle. This is a binding made of alchemical materials. Even you can't break free in a short time."
Looking at Kazama Ruri, whose whole body was covered with metal plate armor and chains, looking more like a suit of armor than a torture instrument, Yuan Zhisheng said this.
The emperor's power is so powerful that even ordinary alchemical materials may not be able to withstand it.
But this is a material forged by Su Mo, and its toughness is naturally much stronger than ordinary alchemical materials. Under the condition that the force exerted at the joints is particularly suppressed, even Kazama Ruri is extremely difficult to break free.
Hearing Yuan Zhisheng's words, Kazama Ruri, who was firmly blocked, showed contempt in his eyes.
"Do you think you can get information from me just based on this?"
"Are you so loyal to the meng ghosts? Are you actually not afraid of our torture?"
Yuan Zhisheng looked at him quietly and asked.
Hearing this, Fengjian Liuli sneered.
"Mongolian ghosts? Why would I be loyal to such an unknown thing? I just want to see the expression on your face, brother, where you want but can't get it. It's very interesting to watch!"
Even though he had become a prisoner, he still looked energetic, and his momentum did not weaken at all.
Hearing this, Yuan Zhisheng's face darkened, but there was nothing he could do.
He knew that with Yuan Jingnu's mental toughness, torture would be useless.
However, the family has already developed an interrogation potion. Although it is not known how effective it will be for the royal bloodline, it should have some auxiliary effects when combined with punishment.
But he can't do that.
Uesugi Yue did not allow him to torture his own brother.
Regardless of whether Yuan Jiaonu turned into a ghost or was schizophrenic, the extreme character he showed cannot be subdued by ordinary means. If even the torture was prevented, they really would have nothing to do with Yuan Jiaonu.
When punishment is not available, the most he can do is scare the opponent.
But how could such a trick be effective against Yuan Jingnu?
At this time, it had been an hour since Kazama Ruri woke up, but the interrogation itself was still futile.
Seeing the mocking expression on Yuan Zhisheng's face, Yuan Zhisheng pressed his forehead and felt very embarrassed.
After finally catching the second leader of the Menggui, why can't we get any information?
"Su Mo, what can you do?"
Feeling helpless, Yuan Zhisheng couldn't help but look to Su Mo and asked him for advice.
Although he asked this, he actually didn't have much hope. After all, Su Mo and Yuan Zhinv didn't know each other. Even he, who had lived with Yuan Zhinv for so many years, was at his wits' end. What could Su Mo do?
The reason why I asked was because Su Mo often acted unexpectedly, so I just said it casually.
However, what he didn't expect was that Su Mo nodded immediately after hearing his words.
"Of course!"
"Sure enough, I knew it would be difficult...wait, what did you say?"
After shaking his head subconsciously, Yuan Zhisheng realized what Su Mo said.
Su Mo actually had a way to get Yuan Zhennu to speak?
"Of course there is a way."
Su Mo said matter-of-factly.
"The more extreme a person is, the more psychological problems he has, and the more obvious his weaknesses will be."
Hearing what he said, Yuan Zhisheng couldn't help but feel that it was a bit reliable, and he immediately asked.
"What is the weakness of a childish girl?"
Hearing this, Su Mo turned his attention to Yuan Zhisheng.
"It's you!"
"I?"
Yuan Zhisheng was startled for a moment, then reacted immediately.
Indeed, the person Yuan Zhennu hated the most and wanted to kill the most was him, and his psychological problems were probably related to her.
only--
"how should I do?"
he asked puzzledly.
Even if she hates him, how can she use this as her weakness?
You can't tell Yuan Zhinu that as long as you reveal the information, they will let Yuan Zhinu kill him, right?
"This is easy!"
Su Mo snapped his fingers, then glanced at the girl behind Yuan Zhisheng.
"It's just that Miss Ying may need to sacrifice a little. I don't know if Miss Ying would mind."
Hearing Su Mo's words, Yuan Zhisheng frowned deeply.
It's obviously against a young girl, why does Sakura need to be sacrificed?
Before he could stop him, Su Mo waved to Ying, and then secretly communicated with the spirit snake, briefly introducing his plans.
After listening, Sakura's cheeks turned red and she gave Su Mo a grateful look.
"Young Master, I am willing to sacrifice!"
She took a step forward and said.
Since Sakura herself said so, Yuan Zhisheng had no choice but to give up.
Although he was very concerned about what Su Mo said to Ying, he didn't ask, he just gave instructions.
"Once there is danger, stop it immediately. I will watch from the side."
Upon hearing what he said, Sakura immediately lowered her head and bowed.
"Thank you, young master!"
After the group of people were confirmed, they all turned their attention to Fengjian Liuli. Fengjian Liuli heard everyone's words clearly.
Seeing Sakura in front of him now, he sneered again.
"You want to use a mere woman to deal with me? Are you out of your depth? Or are you trying to seduce me?"
"It's true that it's seduction, but the target is not you."
Su Mo shook his head and said.
"In comparison, I think the word threat is more appropriate."
Hearing his words, Fengjian Liuli frowned slightly.
Threat? What do they want to threaten themselves with?
Before he could continue thinking, Su Mo clapped his hands.
"Ms. Sakura, please be prepared. Yuan Zhisheng, please stand where you are and cooperate."
Hearing Su Mo's command, Yuan Zhisheng was slightly startled. Is this his own business?
He listened to Su Mo's words and stood right in front of Yuan Zhennu without moving.
After adjusting his position, Su Mo directed Ying to step forward and hugged Yuan Zhisheng's arm.
Yuan Zhisheng's expression changed, and he looked at Sakura who was close to him, looking extremely confused. However, Su Mo didn't shout to stop, so he couldn't do anything else.
The moment he saw Yuan Zhisheng being hugged by a strange woman, Kazama Liuli had veins on his brows exposed and the corners of his eyes twitched violently.
After noticing this, Su Mo snapped his fingers.
Then, Sakura immediately accepted the order and asked Yuan Zhisheng to stand sideways. She opened her arms, hugged Yuan Zhisheng excitedly and nervously, and buried her hot face into Yuan Zhisheng's chest.
Facing this scene, Uesugi opened his eyes wide, immediately showed an expression of surprise, and then gave Su Mo a thumbs up.
Before he had time to worry about his son's marriage, he didn't expect Su Mo to help him get it done.
Although it was ostensibly for a mission, Sakura's face was completely red and she showed no sign of resistance. Yuan Zhisheng did not reject her contact at all, but was simply confused.
How could Uesugoshi not see that this pair of men were interested in having a concubine? There was clearly something going on!
