From Demon Hunter to Lord of the Empire

Chapter 20: Form always forces the protagonist to be more villain than the villain

In order to scare the demon hunter in front of him, Lan tried to recall the lines and expressions of which villains in his previous life.

Immediately after that, the captured demon hunter saw that as the noble imp in front of him got closer and closer, his face also grinned little by little, and it was absolutely impossible for a noble imp to grin so much that the corners of his mouth were almost torn.

“Don’t be so serious… If I really want to say it, the next part is actually the ‘academic discussion’, because I need to verify the authenticity of what I have learned about forced confessions. Since it is the first time to practice, it is inevitable that I will have some hands, and I will also bother you to remind me in time. ”

“Now you seem to feel like your hope is broken—that’s okay, because I’ll help you put him back together so I have a chance to break it again.” ”

…………

“What do you want to know? What do you want to know? ”

I don’t know if it was the first time he woke up again from the feeling of drowning, Judd never felt that the cheap air of the past had become so precious. In order not to return to the suffocating world, Judd had to seize the little time he had to speak and shout.

“What the hell do you want to know, you ask! ”

“Shhh… No rush. Rann said, putting a thick piece of cotton on Judd’s face again, picking up the worn-out and dirty barrel and starting to pour water on it. Looking at the rapid breathing of the demon hunter, the cotton cloth seemed to become a tight mask and adsorbed on the other party’s face to outline the outline of his facial features.

“If you recruit all of them now, I’m really worried that you’ll lie to me, so… Ten rounds, one round will not be less. Only then will I start asking questions. ”

“Don’t worry, I’m already getting proficient, thanks to you. ”

“Uh-huh… Woo! ”

The blocked roar was not loud, but it was heard inside the cell where there were no other sounds enough for people outside to hear.

Several jailers and interrogators sat outside, ears pricked up to eavesdrop inside.

“From the beginning, it seems that only a few pieces of cloth and a few buckets of water were sent, how did I hear that yellow-eyed guy is like being tortured for three days and three nights? He looks like a hard bone. ”

“And I didn’t hear whipping and soldering irons. The interrogator on the side nodded solemnly, “That swordsman is not an ordinary hard bone, he didn’t even shake his skin when I treated his wound.” ”

A jailer carefully stuck his head out and shrunk back: “There seems to be no blood… It’s clean. ”

Another interrogator nodded more solemnly: “And Lord Count seems to have refused to let the other party speak, gagged his mouth and continued to torture.” ”

Several people snorted at the same time.

It turns out that it is not without reason that waterboarding can have such a great fame around the world and frequently appear in various American dramas, movies and novels.

For people who are not professionally trained, it is indeed topping.

Calling the jailer outside to re-erect the lying wooden frame, Rann grabbed the demon hunter’s hair and forced the other man’s half-open eyes to look directly at him.

“Congratulations, the first test of ten rounds has passed, if you are still conscious—you must have—please pay attention to my next question.”

First question: Who are you? ”

The name of the demon hunter is Judd Carradine, and after Rann listened carefully to the other party’s life brief and ideal ambitions for the future, Rann finally remembered that this was actually a famous character in the original game.

Based on a side story of the game The Witcher 3. In the future, he will be approached by the protagonist for ordering his assassin squad to assassinate one of the cat hunter friends of the protagonist White Wolf’s old comrade-in-arms Lambert.

Well, the cat faction demon hunter killed another cat faction and was knocked on by two wolf factions, which is another proof that a cat faction is rich in madmen.

At that time, Judd had fulfilled part of his life ideals, lived a prosperous life, had a wife and adopted two children. And the player who controls the game can choose whether to kill him or not.

Of course, there is also a saying. That is the scene of family harmony is just Judd’s illusion to confuse the demon hunter, Judd’s “wife” is obviously at home but carries a sword, and the two children play freely but are restrained. It seems to be another assassin-killer trap, which is difficult to prove.

Anyway, as things stand now, Judd can’t meet his wife, who doesn’t know if it’s true or not.

Next, the second question. Lan took out the Source of Mana Crystal that had provided him with a skill point before, “Where did you get this from?” ”

“It’s not mine, it’s just a smuggled cargo. He was brought from an abandoned mage tower by a mage, and some of the other mages wanted him. I want to take it out and sell it for a good price and then I can get out of this damn life. ”

“I’m sorry to have blocked your last business and prevented you from moving into a new life. Lane apologized insincerely: “Then comes the third question. ”

Rann took a deep breath and asked the question that he was most concerned about, which was also the ultimate goal of capturing the demon hunter.

“Tell me – the process of the Demon Hunter’s trial! ”

Judd, who was already dying, suddenly raised his head after hearing this question, and at that moment, the already dim amber pupils burst out again.

“What do you want to do? Cultivate Demon Hunter soldiers? Judd looked at the face of the teenager in front of him in amazement.

“No, no, you seem nervous… It’s you, it’s you who wants to be a demon hunter! ”

“This is not,” Lann said expressionlessly, “Wrong answer, another round.” ”

Saying that, Lane ignored Judd’s struggle and pleas for mercy, put it down, covered it with a cotton cloth, and began to fill it again.

After another desperate suffocation, Judd, who was on the verge of collapse, gulped in the fresh air.

“I ask again, the content of the Demon Hunter’s trial. If you don’t know, you can answer No. ”

“I… Know. Judd muttered with his head down, “Of course I know, and of course I can tell you.” But noble boy, you don’t know the cost of becoming a demon hunter, let alone the price after becoming a demon hunter. ”

“Every Demon Hunter learns how to create new Demon Hunters and take on the mission of increasing the number of our race. Because there are too few of us, and they are getting fewer. If you can become a demon hunter, the madmen of the cat school may still be ecstatic. ”

“And if you die. Judd’s bloodshot eyes widened, “I’ll be ecstatic!” ”

Lan opened his notebook and looked at the demon hunter in front of him indifferently: “You can start.” ”
