After the numbness subsided, the boundless pain felt like ten thousand needles pricking the body, and the burning sensation of the wound felt like someone was holding it on a flame.
Qingchen slowly opened his eyes and found that he was lying in a dilapidated room.
Fingers and wrists are still tightly bound with finger locks and wrist locks.
"Why am I here? Did someone save me? No, I was not saved," Qingchen thought silently in his heart.
He had woken up once. At that time, he was clearly on a floating airship. No matter who saved him, he should not be in such a place.
Moreover, those who have the ability to stop the airship must also have the ability to open the finger locks and wrist locks.
Qingchen reluctantly looked around.
The house is small and the walls are wooden and shabby..
In the corner of the house, there are some logging tools piled up.
In the center of the room, an iron stove was burning, with an old black iron kettle placed on it, with white steam spitting out of the spout.
It's not too cold here, and there is fresh firewood in the stove, which shows that people haven't gone far.
Qingchen silently felt the injuries on his body. He had been put on a worn-out cotton-padded jacket. Under the cotton-padded jacket, there were bandages almost all over his body.
When he moved a little, he felt pain all over his body, as if there was no intact place on his body.
Qingchen closed his eyes and breathed quietly.
He seemed to be suddenly back in the prison No. 18 he had just passed through, in that hopeless situation where he had no idea what to do.
But Qingchen knew that he might not have the chance to find another Li Shutong this time.
At a certain moment, he suddenly remembered what the shadow said to him.
The 599 meters on the cliff of the green mountain were all walked by your predecessors with you, but only the last meter needs to be walked by yourself.
Qingchen didn't know if he had a chance to survive, but maybe this was the so-called last mile.
No one can help him.
He has to help himself.
I don't know how long has passed.
There was a squeak.
Someone pushed open the door and entered.
The cold wind outside suddenly poured in, chilling Qingchen, who was already weak.
Qingchen had never been so weak before, so weak that his thinking was somewhat blocked.
Thousands of pains are mixed in neurotransmitters, and every moment is a kind of torture that is difficult to express in words.
He had seen all the seven people who came in from the door, and they were the arresting team headed by Kamishiro Yunhe.
Kamidai Yunhe, who was dressed in simple clothes, looked at Qingchen: "Awake? It's rare. You didn't try to escape after you woke up. Why, have you given up?"
Qingchen said calmly: "Hiding in the cold wind outside, trying to make me try to escape and then catch me back, so as to defeat me again and again and make my psychological defense collapse. This should be your usual mentality.
Let’s fight with tricks.”
In a desperate situation, once a person finds a glimmer of hope, he will put his whole heart and soul on that bet.
When this hope is shattered, the mind is on the verge of collapse.
Too many people cannot bear the cruelty of having their last life-saving straw taken away.
Jindai Yunhe was not angry after being exposed. He signaled his subordinates to cook, and he walked to Qingchen and said with a smile: "The famous Intelligence Department Inspector Qingchen, his desire for survival does not seem to be that strong."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and pressed hard on Qingchen's right rib, where the wound from the wild wolf's bite was.
For just a moment, Qingchen felt as if someone had burned him with a hot iron, and he arched his body like a shrimp.
But what surprised others in the wooden house was that the weak young man didn't make a sound from the beginning to the end.
Jindai Yunhe said calmly: "It is a normal reaction for humans to cry out when they are in pain, so there is no need to resist. Just hum, and I will let go. You see, you don't even need to beg for mercy."
However, Qingchen still didn't make a sound.
The barrier of will never distinguishes the form of compromise. Whether it is crying out in pain or begging for mercy, it is essentially a retreat.
This time he could retreat, and maybe nothing would happen.
But every slight retreat will eventually become a prelude to a breakdown of will.
So all Qingchen can do is not to take a step back.
Kamishiro Yunhe raised his eyebrows: "Useless resistance... Come here and torture him in different places until he screams."
After saying that, he let go and another subordinate came over.
The subordinate's right hand was like an iron pliers, tightly clasping the wound on Qingchen's right arm. A thin layer of sweat oozed out from Qingchen's forehead, and soon even his clothes were wet.
The muscles all over the boy's body were trembling, and the pain was not fake.
At this moment, Qingchen closed his eyes and tried to sink into the world of persuading people with virtue to avoid these pains.
But it's no use.
Qingchen's consciousness was suddenly immersed in memories involuntarily.
Back to that night when I climbed the cliffs of the green mountains.
He carried Cao Wei's crossbow arrows over and over again and climbed the green mountains and cliffs.
Jumping out of that last meter over and over again.
Look at the rising sun like the sea over and over again.
There are also names carved by our ancestors.
And forever young.
For some reason, Qingchen's heart suddenly calmed down.
Maybe he really couldn't escape, but his life at this time was not much worse than at the beginning.
The same has nothing, the same faces the same difficulties.
The same thing is never giving up.
Qingchen opened his eyes and stared at the killer beside him.
To be honest, this killer from the Age of Gods has tortured many people. There are indeed tough people in this world, but he has never seen anyone who remains silent in the face of pain.
However, the subordinate slowly discovered that the young man had slowly stopped trembling deep in his muscles, and his expression was becoming firmer little by little.
Qingchen suddenly said: "You can't escape, can you?"
Jindai Yunhe looked at Qingchen: "I think as a prisoner, you'd better not have too much hope for this. Don't worry, no one can rescue you."
Qingchen continued: "You abandoned the more efficient airship, which means that the airspace back to the north has been blocked. This wooden house should be in a forest farm of a certain production base, and the wood used is ash tree, which means you don't even have
Opportunity to cross the Spring Thunder River."
Chun Lei River is the junction between the south and north of the federation. People usually use this river to distinguish the south from the north.
In spring, the ice floes in the northwest will follow the river and rush eastward. When the ice floes collide with each other in the river, they will make a crackling sound of ice floes colliding and the sound of ice cubes melting.
So someone named it Chun Lei.
The ash tree is a fast-growing tree species south of the Chunlei River. It is rare in the north. At least there are no lumberjacks in the north looking for ash trees to build houses.
Jindai Yunhe smiled, and he signaled his subordinates to let go of the hand that tortured Qingchen: "Inspector Qingchen is very observant, but it is useless to have such observation skills. Not to mention that you are seriously injured and dying now, even in your heyday you would still escape.
It’s not out of my control. Don’t kill a B-level to have more ambitions. As I said, the gap between you and me is heaven and earth.”
In fact, even Shendai Yunhe was surprised, because on their way out of the Central Plains, they were shocked to find that the north had been blocked by the Li family.
It is said that that crazy woman Li Changqing has abandoned everything and started to trace their whereabouts.
It’s understandable that the Qing family would pursue them, but what is Li family and Li Changqing doing for them?
Li Changqing in military uniform is the craziest Li Changqing.
At this moment, six Li Class A airships were launched into the air, patrolling the northern airspace, almost completing full radar coverage.
This is also the reason why Jindai Yunhe and the others must abandon the floating airship.
Not only that, someone sent him a message, and even Huotang issued an order to the wilderness, asking all the wilderness people to follow their whereabouts.
Jindai Yunhe didn't understand why Huotang, which couldn't be hit with eight poles, would get involved.
So much so that the way he looked at Qingchen was a little strange.
He just kidnapped a shadow's confidant, why did he cause so many things?
Jindai Yunhe began to wonder if someone else would pop up to save this young man.
Jindai Yunhe didn't show anything on his face. He joked: "Do you know what your end will be? I will take you back to the north, and then let you live in a pig pen like Qing Mu and eat
Pig food. There will still be Qingmu's colleagues from back then watching you. We will also capture your current colleagues and imprison them nearby so that they can watch how you turned into a dirty pig. You think you can provoke the Jindai family?
, let us hand over Qingmu easily, but in the end we became the new Qingmu, isn't it ironic? Regardless of whether you surrender or not, Qing's intelligence agents will think of you when they provoke the Jindai Consortium again, and they will start
Fear, fear that I will have the same fate as you."
Qingchen ignored the other party's teasing and just said to himself: "There must be a lot of people outside looking for me now, so many that you need to ridicule a prisoner to find inner peace."
Jindai Yunhe narrowed his eyes.
Qingchen said: "Send me back and spare your life."
Jindai Yunhe suddenly laughed angrily: "To be honest, I really didn't expect that Inspector Qingchen could threaten an A-level master in this situation. Don't worry, even if I die, I will kill you before I die.
.This matter is actually not that complicated. I put the knife on your neck. As long as the other party cares about you enough, they must let me go. Just like a bank robber holding a hostage, this is an unsolvable situation. You
Do you think anyone can crack it? How are ordinary bank robbers solved? It seems to be using snipers, but are snipers useful to A-level masters? We already have the sixth sense."
This seems to be a dead end. As long as Kamidai Yunhe doesn't act stupid, even if his whereabouts are found, as long as no one is willing to kill Qingchen with one shot, then Qingchen will be the biggest bargaining chip in his hand.
Jindai Yunhe smiled and said: "Don't worry, even if the shadow comes in person, I am sure to kill you before he kills me."
Qingchen closed his eyes and calmed down. This was indeed an unsolvable situation.
At this time, Jindai Yunhe seemed not to end the topic, but asked: "Where are all your forbidden objects hidden? Otherwise, let's make a deal. You tell me the hiding place of the forbidden objects, and I won't stop here anymore."
How about torturing you?"
Qingchen glanced at the other party: "You have all changed my clothes, so you should know that I don't hide anything on my body."
Jindai Yunhe thought for a while: "Have you swallowed it in your belly?"
"How about you cut me open and take a look?" Qingchen said calmly.
Jindai Yunhe shook his head: "There is no need to do this kind of temptation, you know I will not kill you now."
However, the torture will not stop.
While speaking, Jindai Yunhe pressed Qingchen's wound again, destroying the young man's will with endless pain.
He seems to enjoy torturing others.
Even though Qingchen didn't say a word, he closed his eyes tightly.
At this time, Qingchen suddenly opened his eyes and said, "There is indeed something hidden in my body."
Jindai Yunhe's eyes lit up: "What's the serial number of the forbidden object?"
Qingchen shook his head: "It's not a forbidden object, it's an iron will."
"..." Jindai Yunheqi smiled: "You can still make wisecracks at this time. I believe in Inspector Qingchen's perseverance. It doesn't matter, the taboo items are just passing by. It doesn't matter if you can't get them."
With that said, he turned back to see if his subordinates were ready to cook.
Kamishiro Yunhe picked up the kettle on the stove and poured a glass of water for each of his subordinates: "Thank you for your hard work. It will take a long time to return to the north on this trip. We have a mission, so we will bring wine with water. When we return to the north, I will
Please give me credit."
The subordinates handed over their teacups and waited respectfully for Kamdai Yunhe to pour water for them one by one.
A few people chatted in Japanese for a few words, and when the water was not so hot, they drank it in small sips.
Half an hour later, someone suddenly fell to the ground in a coma.
Some people looked at Kamishiro Yunhe in shock, only to find that this A-level master was watching them calmly.
After a few thumps, all six subordinates lay down on the wooden floor, breathless.
Qingchen was stunned for a moment. He did not expect that Shendai Yunhe would be so cruel and even killed the six subordinates who were following him.
However, this also shows that the situation of Jindai Yunhe and others must be very bad, and the other party may do this to prevent leaks and betrayal.
In a bad situation, once someone rebels, it will lead to the destruction of Shendai Yunhe.
Qingchen asked: "Don't you trust them?"
Jindai Yunhe glanced at Qingchen: "Is there anyone trustworthy in this world? They are dead, but I will complete the mission for them. Once I return to the north alive, then they will all be meritorious, and the Jindai Consortium will
Supporting their families for them and enjoying the honor they bring, don't you think this is the best result? They are also willing to sacrifice their egos for the big goals of the consortium."
Qingchen was stunned. He realized that Jindai Yunhe was not making excuses, but believed deeply in this explanation.
He sneered at Jindai Yunhe: "Hypocritical nation. If they are really willing to sacrifice, then just ask them to commit suicide. Why poison them without telling them."
"Let's go, I know you are a time traveler. There are still 21 days until you return. We have to reach the north before you return," Jindai Yunhe said with a smile.
After saying that, Kamdai Yunhe dragged Qingchen and forcefully pulled him into the wind and snow outside the door, not knowing where he was going.
Qingchen staggered, and every step he took on the snow seemed to exhaust all his strength. He looked at the snow forest outside the house, thinking that he might not be able to survive this disaster.
But it doesn't matter, life can only be sweet but not bitter.
He had already tasted the bitterness of life, but this time it was just more intense.
