Interstellar boss, she doesn't talk about martial arts

Chapter 1006 I've Already Told You (Two Chapters in One)

Xia Chujian closed his eyes, as if trying to control himself, and whispered: "...It was...gotten from the Black Tower in the center of the Kingdom of Destiny..."

Emperor Tan Tai Hongyuan suddenly turned around and looked at her. His mental attack became more intensive and colder, as if he didn't care at all about how this mental attack would cause irreversible damage to an ordinary person's brain!

"The Black Tower of Heaven?! There is a Black Tower of Heaven in the Kingdom of Devotion?! How did you find the Maze of Hades from the Black Tower of Heaven?!"

Xia Chujian also found that the electric shock on his wrist was getting more painful, without any pause, as if the program had become disordered to the point of being out of control.

Her face turned from sallow to red, her fingers twitched, and she uttered a few words intermittently from between her teeth: "I... I... I... didn't enter the Black Tower of Babel. I found it at the bottom of the tower after it collapsed..."

This is a great truth.

No matter what the emperor asked, Xia Chujian always said this.

In the end, Xia Chujian found that the electric shock on her wrist had reached a level that she could no longer bear, so she rolled her eyes and pretended to faint.

His Majesty the Emperor saw the tall and thin girl fall to the ground with a thud, and his expression gradually became gloomy.

He knew about his mental attacks, and he actually only used the lowest intensity of mental power.

Because he knew that this was an ordinary person without mental power.

If I use my ultimate move and kill her in one go, how can I still ask her questions?

But I didn't expect that the girl fainted before I even asked a few questions.

Ordinary people who cannot evolve genetically are always useless...

Emperor Tan Tai Hong Yuan sighed and said loudly, "Take her down for a lie detector test. Remember, don't use mental power, just use the instrument."

A eunuch appeared quietly from somewhere.

With a wooden face, he dragged the unconscious Xia Chujian from the imperial study to a small room.

That was a small room attached to the imperial study, so Huo Yushen and Kang Shanxing, who were waiting outside, didn't know about it.

Xia Chujian was pretending to be faint and didn't dare to move at all.

When she was dragged into the small room, the back of her head hit the threshold hard!
Xia Chujian was in so much pain that even with her eyes closed, she could still feel stars.

She only cursed in her heart the eunuch who dragged her legs and dragged her away.

The eunuch dragged her into the small room attached to the imperial study, and with just one hand, he lifted her up and put her on the sofa.

Then he lifted a light gray tablecloth with silver edges, revealing a half-person-high polygraph underneath.

He pulled out a bunch of probes and pressed them tightly against her head.

Xia Chujian thought that Huo Yushen had used enough probes when he gave her the "lie detector rehearsal".

I didn't expect that compared with the polygraph test in the palace, it was nothing.

The densely packed probes formed a metal cap that covered the entire upper half of her head.

But this also makes the rice-sized metal smart hairpins on her head work better.

Because of the program left by Qi Lu, one must touch the probe of the polygraph before one can follow the connecting line into the polygraph and control it.

Then, the eunuch took out something like a snuff bottle and shook it in front of Xia Chujian's nose.

A disgusting smell that could bring the dead back to life suddenly made Xia Chujian's whole body tremble uncontrollably and he "woke up".

The eunuch seemed to be accustomed to this situation.

There was no expression on his face, and his tone was calm as he said, "Sit still when you wake up. Now I'll ask you a question, and you answer it. You must tell the truth."

"If you lie, even the Bodhisattva of the Holy Temple can't save you."

Xia Chujian: "..."

This person's meaning is really concise and to the point!

Xia Chujian looked terrified. He slowly opened his eyes, covered his mouth with his hands, and pretended to vomit.

The eunuch didn't care at all. He grabbed her by the scruff of the neck and turned her to the side, saying, "There's a trash can here. If you want to vomit, vomit here."

Xia Chujian took a deep breath and said weakly, "I won't vomit."

The eunuch nodded: "As you wish."

He released Xia Chujian's neck, turned on the polygraph and began questioning him.

But at this time, Qi Lu's program had already taken over the polygraph.

No matter what the eunuch said or how Xia Chujian answered, the lie detector would judge that Xia Chujian was telling the truth.

Of course, Xia Chujian didn't make up stories at will.

She just repeated what she had said before to Huo Yushen and His Majesty the Emperor.

There are slight differences in the details, but they are not contradictory differences. Rather, they seem to supplement the previous statements from different angles.

This degree of difference is completely allowed and more real.

Because this can reflect the uniqueness of human memory.

Huo Yushen and his colleagues are researching this kind of thing, so in the Special Security Bureau, polygraphs are completely ineffective for field personnel.

All field personnel must undergo training and become immune to polygraphs before they can be sent out on missions.

They use polygraphs on non-field personnel and ordinary people.

Xia Chujian is currently at the stage where a lie detector can be used.

Although she is a staff member of the Special Security Bureau and has done field work, she has not undergone systematic field training, and she is not immune to the polygraph test.

Xia Chujian thought that she could let Qi Lu's program take over the polygraph and let it judge that every word she said was true.

As a result, she found that she had underestimated the physical damage caused by this half-person-high polygraph.

She didn't know how the eunuch operated the polygraph.

In short, the polygraph's electric shocks and electromagnetic resonance her brain received were many times higher than when Huo Yushen was operating it!
If she had not been thrown into the electric Jiarong grass by Ah-xuan in the strange cave in the Monster Forest and her body had not been thoroughly electrocuted, she felt that she might not be able to survive the physical attack of the polygraph this time.

Although the intensity may not be as strong as the last attack that Jiarong grass gave her, the pain is even more severe.

Because last time, she fainted all of a sudden, and when she woke up, the electric shock had ended.

But this time, she found that she couldn't faint at all.

Waves of electric current passed through the probes stuck all over her head and acted on her brain.

The pain was unbearable and she could only scream.

"Master Eunuch, could you... could you be a little gentler..."

She begged, her whole body trembling.

She couldn't even curl up her body.

Because when she sat on the special chair for the polygraph, her limbs were fixed tightly.

In this situation, unless Xia Chujian immediately activates Shao Siming's black and silver mecha and uses the brute force of the mecha to destroy the polygraph chair.

But if that happened, all her efforts would be wasted.

All the pain she had endured before was in vain.

In a word, her sunk costs were too high for her to give up, so she had to bite the bullet and accept such a high-intensity "lie detector test".

As he listened to her screams, wails and pleas for mercy, the eunuch even had a morbid smile on his face.

He watched Xia Chujian being tortured by the polygraph with great satisfaction, and his hands were constantly adjusting the intensity of the polygraph's electric shock.

As the intensity of the electric shock increased, the physical damage gradually spread from the hard skull to her soft brain tissue. Just when the shock was about to touch Xia Chujian's brain tissue, a blue-purple electric light quietly emerged from the depths of Xia Chujian's brain and enveloped a certain part of her hippocampus.

If Xia Chujian could see inside her own brain tissue at this time, she would find that this blue-purple electric light was exactly the same as the electric light of the Jiarong grass she saw in the cave.

It was as if all the power of the electric shock from the Jiarong grass that Ah-xuan had endured at that time was released at this moment, preserving the hippocampus in her brain.

But other parts of the brain are not so lucky.

The polygraph's physical attack finally broke through her skull and reached her soft brain tissue.

Xia Chujian covered her head reflexively and let out an uncontrollable scream.

She simply couldn't pretend anymore, nor did she need to.

The physical attack of this lie detector just targeted her weakness.

She can't even activate her mecha to protect herself...

The scream was so tragic and loud that even though the door of the small room was soundproof, it still could be heard in the imperial study outside.

But Emperor Tan Tai Hong Yuan just sat there with a normal expression, completely indifferent to the screams he heard.

In the small room, the eunuch murmured, "...I want to see if you are telling the truth... You are the top scholar, right..."

"First place, right? In the end, you still have to beg for mercy from someone like me!"

"You scream! You beg! Humph! If we weren't in the palace, I would have filmed all your ugly behaviors and posted them on Starnet for everyone to see!"

Although Xia Chujian was twitching in pain, she did not lose consciousness because of the blue-purple electric light protecting her hippocampus.

Hearing the eunuch's mumbling, Xia Chujian became furious.

Is this a lie detector test?!

This is asking for death!

What's wrong with being the top scholar?
Did you provoke him?!

Xia Chujian's eyes gradually turned cold as he felt waves of severe pain in his head that kept rising and falling like the tide.

She still screamed and begged, but when answering the eunuch's questions, she gradually changed her strategy.

She knew that everything here was monitored and would be recorded.

So the eunuch didn't dare to do anything other than torment her brain with the lie detector, even though he really wanted to humiliate her...

But he dared not.

As the intensity of the polygraph increased, the blue-purple electric light inside Xia Chujian's brain gradually faded, and finally disappeared into thin air, completely invisible.

Xia Chujian couldn't see all this, she just felt that if this continued, it might cause irreversible damage to her brain!

She can only count on her aunt, who can even heal the damage in her brain.

Of course, she couldn't put all her hopes on her aunt.

The medicine my aunt uses is not a panacea.

She has already experienced this with Qin Wanglan and others.

Therefore, she also has to save herself and protect her brain so as not to be tortured by the lie detector and suffer irreversible damage!

And she will not let this eunuch who made her life a living hell have an easy life!
As if intentionally, but also as if I was unintentional, Xia Chujian's voice became lower and lower when answering the questions, until it was so low that even with the most sensitive instrument, only some unconscious murmurs could be heard.

In fact, she was murmured unconsciously on purpose, but occasionally one or two clear words would pop out.

For example, "The Gate of God's Descent" and "The Maze of the Underworld".

Through her eyes blurred by tears and sweat, she could see the eunuch's greedy look.

Especially when she mentioned these two words, the eunuch's eyes suddenly lit up.

Xia Chujian thought, very good, it seems that you also have other requests.

Later, Xia Chujian even said a sentence or two that she had never said to Huo Yushen and Emperor Tan Tai Hongyuan.

For example, the relationship between the God-favored Ones and the Maze of the Underworld...

She deliberately left the following words vague.

The eunuch thought he heard a word he had never heard before, but he couldn't hear it clearly. He couldn't help but move closer to her and said loudly: "What did you say?! Speak louder! I can't hear you!"

Xia Chujian said weakly, "I... I don't have any strength left... You... you come closer... I want to tell you..."

The eunuch was overjoyed and quickly put his ear close to her.

Xia Chujian looked at him with disgust as his profile moved closer to her, less than three centimeters away!

It was only because she leaned back hard that she didn't let this man with ulterior motives get too close to her.

But this distance is close enough.

Xia Chujian said something softly.

Her lips didn't even open, just a few meaningless sounds came out of her throat.

But she knew that if she saw this scene on the surveillance camera, she was telling the eunuch something in this way.

The eunuch couldn't hear clearly and couldn't help shouting: "What are you talking about?! Speak louder! I can't hear you!"

At this time, Xia Chujian suddenly said: "...I can't do it anymore...I told you everything...I..."

Then his head tilted and he really fainted.

The eunuch's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly put the snuff bottle that could revive the dead next to Xia Chujian's nose.

A smell that was both unpleasant and irritating made Xia Chujian wake up instantly.

Her expression was unusually dazed at this moment, and she was completely different from when she came in just now.

The eunuch felt a little guilty and did not dare to increase the intensity of the polygraph test on Xia Chujian.

But after the intensity was reduced, Xia Chujian seemed to be dumbfounded. No matter what he asked, she just repeated the same question over and over again.

"I've already told you."

"I've already told you."

"I've already told you."

The eunuch then asked questions from other angles and made sure that he could not squeeze any more inside information out of Xia Chujian before ending the polygraph test.

……

Half an hour later, Xia Chujian, sweating and listless, walked out of the small room with a staring look in his eyes.

The condition looked extremely bad, as if her consciousness would leave her in the next second and she would become stupid and dull.

This is a sign that the brain has overdrawn its vitality.

Emperor Tan Tai Hong Yuan glanced at her and couldn't help but smile at the eunuch: "You are too ruthless. This is our imperial champion from last year..."

The eunuch had a blank expression on his face and said in a serious tone, "In my humble hands, there is no champion, only experimental equipment."

Then he said contemptuously: "There is one number one scholar every year, but only those ordinary people take them seriously."

It fully expresses the disdain and contempt for the so-called "top scholar of the empire".

Emperor Tan Tai Hong Yuan said with a smile: "You can't say that. Although there is one every year, they also stand out from hundreds of millions of young people. My country needs them to protect it!"

"Don't have any prejudice against them."

That's it for today's update. See you tomorrow, darlings!
