In front of Bai Xiaowen, Red Shadow and Blue Shadow were tied up with chains and kneeling at the foot of the steps.
As for the last captured Gray Shadow, he is currently seriously injured and is paralyzed from a high position. A group of demons temporarily used magic fire moxibustion to stop the bleeding in order to save his life, so he is not in the palace.
"Take off their masks."
Following Bai Xiaowen's order, the masks of Red Shadow and Blue Shadow were taken off by the two demon leaders, revealing their faces.
Both Bai Xiaowen and Xia Feng could see their true faces. These two people had obvious Caucasian features and were not too old. Maybe they knew that they were in a bad situation. Their faces were very pale and they didn't know what they were going to face.
torture.
"What are your names?" Bai Xiaowen planned to start with these common questions. First, he had to resolve the other party's wariness. As long as the two of them opened their mouths and then slowly guided them in depth, things would be much easier to handle.
"Job..." The young man in red robe hesitated and said his simplified name, "His name is Jobs..."
Bai Xiaowen smiled: "This is just your name, what about your surname? What are your backgrounds in Star Alliance?"
The young man in red, Job, said in a low voice: "I was originally a member of the Baozan Territory, just a little-known small territory. I don't have much origin..."
"Bao Zanling?" Bai Xiaowen had no impression of this kind of territory that ranked fifth or even lower. But there was no point in understanding it in depth, because this young man named Job must have little to do with Bao Zanling.
.
Shallow ponds cannot raise big fish. This Job's strength is at the lord level. How can he be in a small territory that is weaker than the Tang Dynasty?
"Which territory did you join after you left Bao Zan's territory?" Bai Xiaowen asked.
Job didn't want to say it at first, but when Bai Xiaowen asked urgently, he had to say: "It's Mist leader."
Bai Xiaowen frowned, he had never heard of this territory either.
"Mistland, which large organization in the Star Alliance does it belong to?"
"The Illumination Society."
Bai Xiaowen was a little surprised. He had some dealings with Shenting and the Pan-Asian organization, but the third largest organization, Puzhuohui, had never had any disputes. Why did Puzhaohui come to the Dark Age plane to snatch the Death God from him?
bone?
Xia Feng, who was on the side, said: "The General Illumination Society is a loose organization, much looser than the Divine Court and Pan Asia. This Mist Territory is only one of the middle-level territories and cannot represent the will of the high-level core territories of the General Illumination Society."
Bai Xiaowen instantly understood that it seemed that the Mist leader only used the Puzhao Society as a hidden bunker.
In fact, Bai Xiaowen also considered letting Bai Huang Ling join a large organization and maintain a certain degree of independence in it and slowly develop. However, since Bai Huang Ling appeared in Star Alliance, he was targeted by Datang Ling.
The series of wars also left the White Phoenix Territory no longer able to keep a low profile.
"You two, as well as the other five teammates, are all members of the Mist Leader?" Bai Xiaowen asked next.
"...Yes." Job said hesitantly.
Bai Xiaowen could see the change in Job's breath. Although he hesitated, what he said was true.
"Last question. If you answer honestly, I can let you go."
Bai Xiaowen stood up and said, "What is the purpose of the gods behind you asking you to snatch the bones of the God of Death?"
There was a trace of fear on Job's face: "No...I don't know."
"It's impossible that you don't know, right?" Bai Xiaowen saw that he was lying. "It can also be replaced by two small questions... What is the name of your god? Has he told you what to do after seizing the bones of the God of Death?"
"I...I can't answer you." Job lowered his head and said.
Bai Xiaowen looked at Job's side. Jobs, who was wearing a blue robe, had been kneeling on the ground without saying a word.
Jobs felt Bai Xiaowen's gaze, raised his eyelids, and said calmly: "Don't waste your efforts, Lu Wang. You won't get any valuable information from us."
"Yeah, it seems you are quite loyal." Bai Xiaowen's eyes quickly turned cold, "Take him out and chop him down."
The two demon leaders took Jobs out.
Surprisingly, Jobs was still a tough guy. When he was taken out, he didn't even say a word for mercy.
However, for Bai Xiaowen, hard bones are like a thorny hedgehog. He cannot show any generosity, otherwise it will be interpreted as weakness.
Within a few minutes, the two demon leaders returned and threw Jobs' head in front of Job.
Job gritted his teeth, clenched his fists tightly, and his body was shaking. He was not out of hatred, but out of fear.
"I...I can't say that. No move, word or deed of mine can escape the control of the great gods...I signed a blood oath!" Job said sadly, "Lu Wang, you can't even kill me.
Yes, I will die directly before I reveal the news about that god, even a single word..."
The demon leader responsible for killing Jobs suddenly walked towards Bai Xiaowen, knelt down on one knee and presented an item.
"This is... a scroll?"
Bai Xiaowen took the scroll and scanned it with the eye of evolution.
[Mysterious invitation: transports the user to an unknown and mysterious place. 】
On the side of the scroll, there is a line of small words written in devilish language.
Bai Xiaowen already had a certain grasp of Devil's language at this time, and he translated this text at a glance.
[Do you want my wealth... Come on! I put everything there. Only the bravest, smartest and strongest people are qualified to inherit my inheritance! 】
Bai Xiaowen's mind suddenly froze.
"All wealth...can only be inherited by one person..."
Bai Xiaowen chewed on the information in these two lines of demonic language and suddenly said: "This is the ticket to the place of origin?!"
Xia Feng was stunned: "What place of origin?"
Bai Xiaowen didn't bother to answer Xia Feng, and stared at the young man in red robe, Job.
The latter was half shocked and half surprised. The change in his expression at that moment was directly captured by Bai Xiaowen.
"I don't know what you are talking about..." Job noticed Bai Xiaowen's gaze and lowered his head and said.
"Haha, based on the analysis of your micro-expressions, you should understand at least half of it," Bai Xiaowen said slowly, "You at least understand the word ticket... As for the place of origin, there are many other names.
, maybe the name is different in your place. However, getting this ticket from Steve Jobs shows that within your organization, everyone probably has one."
"I don't have...I haven't seen any tickets." Job denied.
Of course, such a weak denial cannot be concealed from Bai Xiaowen.
"Haha, you don't have to deny it. I think this kind of ticket will be released automatically after killing him. Even if a demon leader under my command killed Steve Jobs and still got the scroll, it is enough to illustrate this point. Maybe the ticket can't
Put it in the storage space, maybe the ticket has the property of being 100% dropped..."
"...You are really a devil..." Job said weakly, "You have guessed everything right."
Bai Xiaowen stretched out his hand and said, "Bring it here."
Job lowered his head and said: "I can't hand over the ticket I have to you... In addition to being unable to be put into the storage space and falling 100% of the time, the ticket also has another feature: it is...soul bound."
"Only by killing you can I get the tickets?" Bai Xiaowen responded quickly.
Job lowered his head and said nothing, apparently acquiescing to this fact.
"Job, I need two tickets now," Bai Xiaowen said in a gentle tone, "However, including you, there are three prisoners... In other words, I can keep your life and not take away your tickets.
.But you must give me a reason to do so."
Job raised his head.
"Tell me all the information you know and can tell," Bai Xiaowen set out the conditions. "As for the secrets that are inconvenient for you to tell, I can use speculative questioning to bypass your blood oath. The premise is that you
You have to cooperate.”
There was a trace of struggle on Job's face, which meant that he was actually going to betray his gods.
However, Job also knew very well that he had no choice, but "Lu Wang" did.
If Job himself does not cooperate, "Lu Wang" will go to the seventh brother Frobisher, and then there is only death waiting for him.
However, even if Job decides to betray the gods, he is not sure that he can survive - he has lost his use value, but he still has a ticket. Will "Lu Wang" really keep his promise and spare him? Or should he kill him directly?
Get a ticket?
After all, no one has too many tickets. Taking away a ticket now is equivalent to eliminating a competitor.
"I am willing to cooperate..."
Job whispered.
"A wise choice." Bai Xiaowen smiled and asked everyone in the hall except Xia Feng to leave.
Job didn't know many secrets. The purpose of snatching the Bones of Death and so on were all things that couldn't be disclosed. However, he still knew about the "Secret Society" of the seven-person organization and their boss Gaster Beebe.
Pour the soybeans into the bamboo tube and tell me everything.
"You mean... Gaster Bibby was favored by a god and became the first elect; then Gaster searched for evolvers in the Star Alliance to develop new electors, and you were one of them.
?”
Job whispered: "Yes, I was just an elite evolver at the time. I don't know why Boss Gaster found me and gave me the opportunity to receive the blessings of the gods. My strength directly climbed to the lord.
But from now on, we must obey the orders of the gods and follow Boss Gaster.”
"From elite to lord..."
Bai Xiaowen thought for a while and said, "There are two possibilities. First, Gaster or that god has some ability to see potential evolvers, so he came to you to instill him. Second, you are
A lucky man. Based on my immature experience, you are probably in the second situation."
Bai Xiaowen once used the power of death to infuse summoned creatures. The principle should be similar to Job's growth.
There are indeed summoned creatures with a wide range of strength, but the proportion is very small. Many summoned creatures cannot withstand the infusion of divine power and explode to death, but they all have the appearance of the god of death as their foundation, and they will be resurrected after a period of time, without substance.
It’s just a loss.
If the test subject is replaced by an evolver, it will naturally not have the ability to be resurrected.
However, after all, the person applying the infusion of divine power is a real god, and the potential of the evolver is probably stronger than the summoned creature. It is not impossible for Job to directly evolve from the elite to the lord level, but the success rate is low. Job is relatively lucky.
The numerator may have exploded dozens or hundreds of denominators before him.
This is also easier to explain why Mistland has always had a low reputation, and why Job's origin was only a small and weak territory like Baozanland.
Gaster Bibby didn't want to attract too many people's attention. Such a big template improvement would inevitably become the focus of the entire Star Alliance if word spread about it. Therefore, when Gaster chose "experimental subjects", he also chose weak and weak territories.
A humble evolver would never look for a rising star in a large territory to avoid attracting unnecessary attention.
Bai Xiaowen then used speculation and questioning to confirm some other secrets about the gods.
Job closed his mouth tightly and did not dare to say a word. He could only use his eyes to confirm whether Bai Xiaowen's guess was correct or not.
Blinking means nodding, which is correct; rolling eyes left and right means shaking head, which is wrong.
It should be noted that evolvers have very strong control over organs such as the eyes and eyelids, and there will be no question of "will my eyes be sore if I don't blink for three days and three nights?"
"Is your god called Amotawa?"
Move your eyes left and right.
"Has the god ever revealed his form? Is it a hydra?"
Move your eyes left and right.
"Seizing the Bones of Death is an order issued by your gods through Gaster?"
Blink.
"Your tickets were given directly by the gods?"
Blink.
"The gods ask you to go to the place of origin, but can't they go there themselves?"
This question made Job pause. He neither blinked nor rolled his eyes.
Xia Feng was originally listening with rapt attention, but when he saw Job's lack of reaction, he was a little surprised.
"not good!"
Bai Xiaowen suddenly activated the transformation technique and hid behind Xia Feng.
The next second, Job's head exploded like a watermelon dropped by a sledgehammer, and the smelly blood splashed everywhere, leaving little traces of blood on the ground. The blood seemed to be highly corrosive, and it appeared on the silver floor of the hall.
above, leaving a curl of green smoke.
The blood splashed extremely fast, a bit like a hidden weapon thrown by a hidden weapon master with all his strength. There were three blood marks in it, which were shot towards Xia Feng.
Xia Feng could have avoided it, but Bai Xiaowen hid behind him. He could only give up activating the power of space and instead used the artifact Symbiosis Seed for defense.
Three pieces of armor emerged from Xia Feng's chest, legs, and face. Blood fell on the armor pieces and rolled directly out without causing any damage.
"Is he dead?" Xia Feng quickly realized that he had said nonsense, "You actually reacted very quickly."
Bai Xiaowen smiled without any embarrassment.
"The gods behind him are so ruthless." Xia Feng said.
"Don't sigh for now..." Bai Xiaowen sighed, "Brother Xia, there is a God of Truth behind you."
