As a general, she cannot be a good daughter of Kage.

"This is the master key."

The general turned around and gave a simple explanation, then opened his legs and walked in... leaving the two people stunned.

The first thing I felt when I entered the basement was a strong smell of blood... It was a smell that had been aged for several days. It was very unpleasant, but for the general, he didn't even frown, but Corles did. Covered his nose.

"Ahem... there's too much dust."

Not only that, but also so dense.

The source of blood was the man in a brown suit who was tied to a chair and was bleeding all over his body.

The general tilted his head slightly to look at the man's appearance...

The whole body is covered with blood... There are marks on the chest that were dug by the sharp blade... There is nothing inside, and the murder weapon is inserted into the man's body like a hedgehog... It has not been pulled out. The man's mouth is now open and his eyes are wide open. The whites of his eyes were covered with thrilling bloodshot eyes, indicating that he must have been in extreme pain before death.

Corless squatted in front of the body and looked at the marks on it... and placed several watches in front of him.

"What does that mean?"

The general asked suspiciously when he saw this.

"Ah... this is a prop prepared for the subsequent magic. It is used to play the remaining thoughts. It will eventually be used on myself to obtain the memory of the victim at that time."

Corless replied.

"That means...you will experience all the pain he suffered before?"

The general narrowed his eyes.

"Well...at present, this is the fastest way, so I'm willing to risk it all."

clatter...

"Yah! Here we come!"

Suddenly a loud voice broke the silence in the room, and Rider and Jeanne, dressed in sexy women's clothes, also went down to the basement.

"Wow...what's wrong with this door?"

Rider asked in surprise.

...but no one paid him any attention.

"Is it the same here? It's really cruel."

Corless had previously notified the two of them to come here to meet with them... Joan of Arc also searched several dead people, all of whom suffered the same fate.

"In this way, all eight people have completed the investigation. Regardless of the process, everyone's hearts have been dug out."

Corless replied.

"It's the same here."

"There is no doubt that this is Assassin's doing, but one thing that cannot be clarified is..."

Chiron held his chin in thought.

"Because this is the magic crystal that is necessary for her."

Corless stood up and frowned at the disfigurement of wounds all over the body.

"In that case...then what are these traces of torture?"

The general pointed to the wounds inserted by various props and asked several people, since the heart was to be dug out...then what was the purpose of all this torture?It's obviously a torture to get the other party to reveal certain information, right?

"It's strange...we weren't all tortured there?"

Jeanne replied in confusion.

"That's the problem...why?"

The general asked again.

"Uh... Could it be that Assassin is interested in people's fears before death?"

Jeanne became unsure.

"If that's the case...then everyone should be treated equally, but you said before that some people died directly."

The general overturned her suspicion.

"Hmm...Saber is right."

Cowles agrees.

"Then...not enough time?"

Rider also started to guess.

"No...we are at a very disadvantage now, she should be able to handle it with ease."

Chiron overturned Rider's answer at this moment.

"Huh...it seems that this is the only way to use it in the end."

After sighing for a while, Coles moved the wooden chair across to the corpse and sat there, rolled up his sleeves and prepared for the next spellcasting, which is the magic of playing the remaining souvenirs that he explained to the general before.

"Will it be dangerous?"

Jeanne is worried.

"That's all I can do now. I hope I can survive it."

Corless smiled slightly and then put a watch on the ground on his wrist, closed his eyes and started the magic process.

F/A~Deep in the Pure Land, Singing at the Top of the World: Chapter 70 Sure enough... Is stealing a home the right way to go?

If the general was asked to describe what "heart-breaking" means... then she would not hesitate to think of the cry of the young man in front of her, no... maybe even more exaggerated than "heart-breaking", It felt to her like the other person had fallen into hell and was being burned by fire.

“Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!”

In the basement, the only thing in the basement was Cowles' scream of extreme pain. Perhaps it was no longer a 'scream', but a roar. It was the most wild and primitive physiological reaction of human beings. Just listening to it made me feel very curious. .

This situation made her, who had not been moved by it all year round, couldn't help but frown. She was like this, let alone the other people present.

clack clack...

Due to the painful spasm of my body, the chair under me kept shaking at a high frequency, and my legs kicked back and forth on the floor. After about a minute, my whole body was wet with sweat, physiological saliva flowed from the corners of my mouth, and my pupils kept trembling. Turn up!

"Ahhhh!!!!"

The ear-piercing screams continued... even threatening to burst the eardrums.

"Hey... is he really okay?!"

Rider was a little panicked and asked them quickly, if this continues, will he die suddenly?

"It does matter, but..."

Jeanne hesitated...

Corless had told them not to wake him up until the end, and it seemed that he was currently in the 'critical' stage, not the 'final' one at all.

"Just wait a little longer. If it is interrupted at the critical moment, all the efforts will be wasted."

Chiron also suppressed his anxiety and answered.

"But...he's like this...eh..."

"Ahhhhh!!!"

The screams still echoed in the basement, but they got used to it after a while.

"Huh...huh..."

After an unknown amount of time, Cores finally stopped convulsing and shaking, and the screams gradually disappeared. His face was covered in sweat and he was extremely weak and exhausted, hanging his head and breathing heavily.

"Did you get the message?"

The general asked directly when he saw that the other party had calmed down.

"..."

The other party is silent…

"Hey—did you hear that?"

Rider waved his hand in front of him.

"I know...I understand...I'll tell you...everything..."×N

Corless kept repeating these words in a low voice at this moment, with trembling and despair in his tone.

Hearing this, the general reached out and gently lifted the other person's chin to see his eyes...

Sure enough...Cores has completed the synchronization.

There was no light in the blue eyes, they were all gloomy, as if they were hypnotized, and they kept repeating what they just said.

"I know...I'll tell you everything...the warning...methods..."

There are new words...

The general raised his eyes and made eye contact with the others before slapping Cowles in the face with the back of his hand.

Snapped!

The sound was loud but not with much force, just enough to wake the other person up.

"Uh! What?!"

Corless was knocked back to his senses in an instant and quickly looked around at the faces of several people before becoming confused. However, he understood his situation after a few seconds, sighed and slumped on the chair.

"Ah... damn it! The synchronization is too much."

He wiped his saliva and sweat and complained.

"How's it going? Did you hear anything?"

he asked looking up.

"Well...nothing else but 'Ahhh!'"

Rider rubbed his head.

"Something that matters...saying 'I know...' or something."

Chiron said.
