Chapter 1053 Mutual Torture
The little monster was wearing a tattered cloak, even though it was freezing cold outside at this time of year.
The little monster was completely unaffected; the iron chain on its ankles only gave it less than half a meter of movement.
This was the first time Liang Chongyue had ever seen the little monster so calm.
Liang Chongyue walked around the little monster, circled around to the man, and used a bamboo stick placed to the side to lift the man's face.
It was an ordinary face, but it had many wounds, which were obviously inflicted during the torture.
"Aren't you afraid he'll bite his tongue and commit suicide if you don't gag him?"
Liang Chongyue looked around but didn't see any cloth balls or anything like that.
"This man is extremely afraid of death. He wet himself before the first lash of my whip even landed on him. He's just too stubborn and keeps talking in riddles with my men."
Liang Chongyue used a bamboo stick to whip the man's limbs and lower abdomen, not with much force, just to test him.
"Your bones are so soft, it doesn't look like you've trained."
Liang Chongyue frowned and looked at the little monster who had been staring at her ever since she walked up to the man.
"Lengthen the chains on its feet."
Liang Chongyue wanted to try something.
Fei He, concerned for His Majesty's safety, first handed the two swords to His Majesty.
Only then did he press the mechanism outside the stone wall to lengthen the rope tied to the little monster's feet.
The little monster got up and moved around on its own. Just as it was about to get close to Liang Chongyue, the anklet stopped.
The little monster, still unwilling to give up, lunged at Liang Chongyue, only to be kicked away by her.
"The anklet is only this long because I'm too lazy to deal with you, not because I can't handle you."
The little monster was still not giving up and pounced on Liang Chongyue a few more times.
It only gradually calmed down after Liang Chongyue stomped it hard on the ground.
Liang Chongyue told Fei He to leave and closed the stone wall.
"Your Majesty, this is too dangerous. If we are to interrogate this monster, it should be my responsibility."
When Liang Chongyue came today, she never expected that the man who released the silver pheasant would be connected with this little monster.
Otherwise, she would definitely have carried those two divine swords on her back.
Now that Fei He is here, she doesn't feel comfortable taking out the divine sword at any time.
We can only send Feihe away first.
"A little monster who can't move freely is not worth my attention."
Fei He couldn't dissuade His Majesty at all, so he could only leave and slowly close the stone wall from the outside.
"Your Majesty, after the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, I will open this stone wall from the outside."
The stone walls provide excellent sound insulation; no one outside can hear anything inside unless the entire dungeon explodes.
"Row."
Liang Chongyue replied with only one word and then stopped looking at Fei He.
Hearing the sound of the stone wall closing behind him, Liang Chongyue turned around to confirm that Fei He had left the dungeon.
Liang Chongyue, with his back to both the human and the monster, pretended to select torture instruments from the wall behind him.
He took the divine sword out of his backpack.
Turning his head, he saw the little monster's restless eyes, which met the golden light emanating from the divine sword.
She gradually became well-behaved.
The divine sword's reaction upon discovering the small monster was not as intense as its reaction upon encountering the system it could devour.
But it did elicit some response from Liang Chongyue.
Liang Chongyue did not hold the divine sword in her hand, but placed it on the table next to her.
He handed the bamboo strip he had just taken to the little monster.
"I'll give you a chance. If you can kill him within three moves, I'll let you leave here."
The little monster is intelligent, but it might not understand what she's saying.
Liang Chongyue gestured a few times, and the little monster reached out its hand toward the bamboo strip Liang Chongyue was offering.
He immediately pulled it back.
She looked at Liang Chongyue warily, as if she didn't believe her.
Liang Chongyue had given her a chance; she didn't like asking others for favors.
Seeing that the little monster was unmoved, it simply got up and went towards the man who was tied to the cross.
She used a bamboo stick to pry open the man's eyes, meeting his resentful gaze.
"I'll give you the same chance. Kill that little monster, and I'll let you go."
Anyone who has lived in the capital city must have heard of the Qingyu Pavilion, which can stop children from crying.
Once you're locked up in the Jade Pavilion, there's no way you can get out.
Therefore, this was the only opportunity Liang Chongyue gave them.
"Are you serious?"
Liang Chongyue laughed and kicked the man in the stomach.
He pulled out the banner that he had torn off the fake phoenix from his waistband yesterday.
It was unfolded before the man.
"You remembered what you called me yesterday, but you've forgotten it today? Did Fei He give you a good whack on the head?"
The banner read, "The Demon Emperor is in chaos, and the Great Xia Dynasty is in grave danger."
The man had already been tortured, and if Fei He found out that this man, who was coming for her, wouldn't be able to get anything useful out of him.
There is absolutely no room for leniency in the criminal law.
He's still tied to the cross, otherwise he would have collapsed on the ground like a lump of mud.
"Your Majesty, I truly have no idea how those birds are raised. I am just someone who takes money and does favors for others."
Liang Chongyue bent the bamboo stick in her hand and slapped it directly onto the man's face.
It left a deep mark.
"Whose money did you take? Whom did you do things for?"
The man fell silent again, his eyes darting around as if he were terrified of Liang Chongyue.
"I was merely asking a question, why are you so afraid?"
Liang Chongyue could still faintly hear the sound of water; the dungeon was poorly ventilated to begin with.
This made it even more stench.
"Awooooo ahhh."
Liang Chongyue didn't receive a response from the man; instead, the little monster behind her finally made its first reaction of the day.
Liang Chongyue's current position, between the man and the little monster, is not entirely safe.
I changed positions and finally got a good look at the little monster's snarling expression.
This time, the little monster took the initiative to reach out to Liang Chongyue and ask for the bamboo strip that he hadn't taken earlier.
Liang Chongyue gave it away without hesitation.
Then Liang Chongyue heard the man's painful wails and cries for help.
"I'll tell you, I'll tell you to stop hitting this monster, or I'll die."
The little monster didn't seem to want to stop at all.
Putting aside everything else, Fei He placed the iron chain extremely well, even controlling its length and range perfectly.
If it weren't for these bamboo strips, the little monster wouldn't have been able to hit the man at all.
"Didn't I give you a chance? You didn't seize it, and you still expect me to make an exception for you? Where is my authority then?"
As Liang Chongyue spoke, the little monster convulsed even more vigorously.
Liang Chongyue sat to one side and watched, taking out a bag of snacks bought by the system from her backpack and eating them, using the large cloak as cover.
Quietly appreciating this scene.
It looks very strange.
Pian Liang Chongyue watched with great interest.
Fei He even came in for a quick look during that time.
After confirming that His Majesty was alright, he was then driven out by His Majesty.
