Because of the return of the Divine Inquisitor, This Pill
Started to become lively.
The hanging lights at the door of the men's rooms lit up again.
Even though it was not night yet,
The space was especially bright.
"Da Da Da" crisp sounds came from the wooden corridor from time to time. It was the sound of the short swords playing and running.
From Scorpion and Itachi's observation, This Pill seemed to have unknowingly come to life.
Once again, he pushed away a short sword that almost hit him. Scorpion slowly took a breath.
He restrained himself from breaking these swords that were more fragile than his kunai and closed the door.
"What a bunch of annoying shorties," he muttered.
He muttered. Obviously, he was annoyed to the point of dizziness, and he completely didn't expect that these words would include him as well.
They did not expect to go out.
After all, the swords in This Pill were a little afraid of them.
Before Lingsu returned, they would still stay in their rooms obediently.
When they occasionally encountered them, they would also vigilantly avoid them … It was completely unlike today.
Not only did they walk around freely, but they also allowed the short swords to play around in the corridor.
Their whole body exuded a silly feeling of "I have someone backing me up."
It made it seem like they had really bullied them.
Perhaps even these swords themselves did not realize that unknowingly,
They had already started to rely on that one person who made them unbridled.
A lord who was unwilling to be loyal to.
The Divine Inquisitor was not what they had initially expected. Even among these men with swords,
There were still many swords who had yet to be loyal to her and had not shown their faces in front of her …
But just like a beast that had tasted meat, they could no longer endure the monotony of being a vegetarian. They experienced a stable life.
There was also the protection of a powerful Divine Inquisitor.
These men with swords could no longer endure the uncertain and fearful life of the past.
The new Divine Inquisitor would occasionally give them gifts.
She would not say nice words like "Thank you for your hard work," but would give them sufficient spiritual power to heal their injuries and strengthen their own strength.
Although her mind was unpredictable and unpredictable, making the short swords afraid, she would never break any of the swords …
It was precisely because of this short parting that the men with swords eventually magnified her strengths infinitely and ignored the darkness in the depths of that person's heart that was like thick ink.
When the desire in their hearts was magnified, they themselves did not realize that they had already begun to fear being abandoned.
This was an influence that originated from the subconscious.
In order to achieve such an effect, the girl in the center of everyone's vision must have enough courage and brains. She must also have enough skills to make those who followed her think that there would never be a second person like her in this world.
"Just like when she first walked into our world."
Outside the window, the sun was shining brightly, and there were sounds of laughter. Brothers from different sword sects gathered together, and just discussing what kind of homecoming banquet they were going to prepare for tonight was already a beautiful topic … However, to Scorpio, all of this was as far away as another country.
… It was originally a matter of another country.
She left them, left Daybreak, erased all traces of her, and disappeared from their world.
Even if they met again, it would not change the fact that this was no longer their world.
Scorpio, who thought of this, sneered. At the cuff of the black robe with red clouds on his body, a pair of hands turned flexibly, and the word "Jade" engraved on the red ring on his finger bone was clear.
With the movement of his fingers, the tall puppet standing behind him began to move along with the Chakra threads on his fingers. The sharp hidden weapons hidden in the puppet's body were looming like a lurking killer.
"It's just toys that will be discarded in the end."
"…" After reorganizing his Ninja Tool Bag and taking out the scroll that Pain gave them before leaving, Itachi finally glanced in the direction of Sasori.
He raised his hand and threw a handful of kunai inserted in the joints of the puppet, and then said to Scorpio in a low voice, "So … what do you want to do?"
With just one sentence, all of Scorpio's complaints were swallowed back.
"Scorpio, you are not her opponent."
"Tsk."
The hand holding the Chakra thread was hidden under the cuff again, and Scorpio also saw the scroll that Itachi turned over.
His eyes darkened, "It seems that we don't have much time."
Itachi nodded in a low voice.
"Continue to wait?" This time, Scorpio didn't make a decision by himself, but asked for Itachi's opinion.
This was because he knew how ruthless this man of few words could be in order to achieve his goals.
At that time, Uchiha Itachi, who was only 13 years old, was able to kill his own people in order to save his brother's life. To some extent, his crimes are more serious than other members of the Akatsuki.
Perhaps this is the reason why Lingsu liked him so much. Putting aside the surface, they may be more similar.
Itachi didn't answer him immediately.
He silently handed the scroll to Scorpio's hand and saw Scorpio put the scroll away.
Then he began to tie the reorganized ninja bag on his body and stood up straight.
Under the pitch-black hair, the pair of pitch-black pupils instantly turned blood-red with three tomoe jades.
"We …" he said.
·
"Knock Knock –" The knocking on the door suddenly sounded at this time.
"Is Mr. Scorpio and Mr. Itachi here?" Shan Mo Che Guoguang stood at the door and asked.
"…" Itachi didn't make a sound.
The knocking on the door was particularly abrupt, interrupting them.
At least in Itachi's mind, the originally formed plan shook slightly with this sound, making him subconsciously lose all actions.
His lips were slightly pursed. Under his long black bangs, a pair of eyes were hidden in the shadows, cold and murderous. His slender fingers stretched out of his sleeves, and a shadow flashed. His fingertips were painted black, holding a few kunai. The tip of the kunai flashed with cold light, as if it was filled with the coldness of blood.
With his ninjutsu, it is enough to reach the point of killing without seeing blood.
But that's her sword …
"Master asked me to invite the two of you to go to Tenshou Pavilion, saying that he has something important to discuss with you." Seeing no response from inside the room, Shan Mo Che continued.
He paused, a pair of expressionless green pupils moved slightly, and after a long while, he said in a low voice, "It's about the captive we caught before."
As a Funerary Deity created by the Government of the Time and forged by the Inquisitor with spiritual power, Shan Mo Che Guoguang's strength may not be comparable to the two ninjas in the room, but as a sword, he is very sensitive to the murderous aura.
The people in the room have never thought of restraining their aura since they came to This Pill, and in the eyes of these Funerary Deities, they are as clear as a bright positioning point.
Without a sound, he knows where they are.
Inside the room, Sasori curved his lips and smiled, and said to Itachi silently, "What do you want to do?"
"…"
Itachi lowered his eyes, and his thick and long eyelashes covered the hidden emotions in his eyes.
Then he pondered for a moment, and finally put away the kunai in his hand, and his Sharingan was hidden again, returning to the ink-like darkness.
Sasori raised his eyebrows, knowing his choice.
He walked forward, opened the door, and said to the expressionless green-eyed youth at the door, "Lead the way."
·
The captive had been carried to the meeting room on the first floor of the Inquisitor.
The captive was a man who looked to be in his thirties. He was dressed in modern clothes and had talismans on him that were used to store spiritual energy.
It was said that apart from having rich spiritual power, he had no other abilities. This person originally came out to forcefully remove the contract between Lingsu and the Funerary Deities, but he didn't expect to be severely injured by the backlash of Lingsu's contract.
Only then did the Funerary Deities realize his usefulness, and he was easily captured.
No matter how one looked at it, he looked like a human who had taken on another This Pill's Inquisitor.
After all, only those people would think of forcefully tearing up the Inquisitor's contract and taking the Funerary Deities for their own use.
The other captive that was handed over to the Government of the Time was a Onmyoji. Tsukuyomi, who had been poisoned by Itachi, was directly put down.
Considering that the Onmyoji might have some unknown means, making it harder to guard against them than humans who only had powerful spiritual power, they finally chose to keep this person with powerful spiritual power and hand over the Onmyoji.
Toshiro, the Pharmaceutical Research Director of This Pill, happened to be proficient in pharmacology. After roughly treating this captive with powerful spiritual power, he directly injected an anesthetic. For a few days, this middle-aged man slept like a pig.
At this moment, Pharmaceutical Research was injecting the antidote to the anesthetic and waiting for the captive to wake up.
After the syringe was emptied, Lingsu looked at Pharmaceutical Research Director Toshiro, who was wearing underwear and a white coat like a doctor, and her eyes curved into a smile.
"Sorry to trouble you, Pharmaceutical Research."
"Not at all."
After putting away the tools and putting them back into the medical kit, Pharmaceutical Research stood up and smiled at the Inquisitor. "It's my duty to work for the Admiral. Please give me instructions as you wish."
He turned his head and looked at the captive on the ground with his hands and feet bound. The middle-aged man's eyeballs rolled slightly under his eyelids as he showed signs of waking up.
Thinking that the Inquisitor was about to conduct an interrogation, he took a step back and said hesitantly to the Inquisitor, "The drug's effects are very fast. It won't be long before he completely wakes up. Admiral, if this is a confidential interrogation, I'll leave first."
After a pause, he looked at Mitsuki Munechika, who was guarding the Inquisitor's side without any intention of moving. He said, "I'll guard the door and be at your beck and call."
"Alright." The Inquisitor thought for a moment and nodded.
Pharmaceutical Research's drug was indeed very effective. Just as the captive was about to wake up, Shanmaqie arrived with Scorpion and Itachi.
This was the first time the two of them had come to the Inquisitor's room.
Although the second floor of Tenshou Pavilion was protected by a barrier, the other rooms could be freely entered and exited.
But when she wasn't here, no one tried to approach this place.
"Isn't this the person we caught the other day?" As soon as he entered the room, Scorpion noticed the captive lying on the ground.
Lingsu shook her sleeves and chuckled, "That's him." Then she got up and walked to the captive's side. She reached out and pinched his chin, lifting it.
It was a face that she had never seen before.
Unfortunately, Fox's Aid was still with the Government of the Time and couldn't come back for the time being.
There was no way to use the system to compare the people of the Government of the Time with the Inquisitor.
Although the possibility of comparison was very small … anyone who could be sent out was presumably a hidden chess piece that had never been used before, or a "death warrior".
Lingsu frowned and pondered, then looked at Itachi and said, "I have something to ask him."
"So?" Scorpion looked at Itachi and understood.
"Please do me a favor." The Inquisitor straightened up.
When she got up, her drooping long hair brushed back to her shoulders, the color of white snow.
Then the snow-white mass took a step back, her footsteps seemed to be a little weak, and she swayed slightly.
"My Lord!"
Mikazuki Munechika was slightly startled. He took a step forward and paid attention to the Divine Inquisitor's condition. Although the movement was very brief and light.
But he still caught the Inquisitor's extreme weakness at that moment.
She was indeed seriously injured.
Mitsuki Munechika stretched out an arm and put it on the back of the Inquisitor's hand, so that most of her weight was leaning on him, and then he helped her to the chair.
"Even if it's work, please don't be too tired."
He sighed slightly, and his lazy magnetic voice was a little helpless, "You are our Lord, in any case, please treat your body better."
Although she didn't speak, from the state of the This Pill to the present, she was beginning to get more and more tired.
After Lingsu sat down again, Itachi walked to the front of the captive and said, "You asked us to come here to interrogate him."
"Yes." Lingsu rubbed her eyebrows and responded.
She didn't feel much pain. The point of Abe Haruaki's sword was not how much she was injured, but the power covering the sword was too strange.
Even if the flesh wound healed quickly, she still felt tired.
Elder Mountain Lady Qie Guoguang poured a cup of tea from the hot kettle at the side and walked in front of the God's Inquisitor. She gently placed the cup in front of the God's Inquisitor and said softly, "Please enjoy."
"Thank you very much." Ling Su smiled and took a sip of the tea.
After calming down for a while, she raised her eyes and said to Itachi again, "You have seen my state, it's a bit difficult for me to interrogate you.
But as a member of the Akatsuki, this level of interrogation should be easy. "
She paused.
Looking at the captive who was completely awake, she said lightly, "You don't need to do anything else, just help me find out who sent him."
"Yes." Itachi looked at the captive who fell to the ground at a loss and then turned angry, and said lightly.
This was the first time she let others do her work for her.
In the past, when she was in the Akatsuki, she never borrowed other people's hands to do these things.
Perhaps when she was in the Akatsuki, she didn't trust her companions, so no matter how injured she was at that time, she didn't let others do her work for her. Or maybe the person who injured her was really strong, and even Lingsu, who had lived for a long time, couldn't resist.
"My Lord, do you want to take a rest first?"
Seeing that Itachi began the interrogation, Mitsuki Munechika lowered his head and looked at the girl sitting in the shadow under his body, and said with a slight smile, "After all, if you are really busy with work, you won't be able to finish it no matter what."
"Originally, I didn't want to be busy with work." Lingsu shook her head, playing with the teacup in her hand, and chuckled.
Mitsuki Munechika looked at her and felt that her usually pale skin was even paler, but that paleness didn't look like a face without blood, but as if the light could penetrate her body, and this person's figure began to faintly blend into the air.
His breath slightly stagnated.
Half a meter away, the girl's neck was slightly lowered, and her cheeks were slightly tilted.
He could see her long eyelashes, and under the slightly white eyelashes, her eyes were half closed, as if she was sleeping.
Sasori originally wanted to say something, but after seeing Lingsu's appearance, he didn't say anything, and just found a corner and stood quietly, watching Itachi interrogate the prisoner there.
"Shanmaqie …" After a while, the interrogator said with a weak voice, "When you came, what was the preparation outside?"
Even though This Pill was huge, the living quarters were all close to each other, and Tianshou Tower was in the center, so it was easy for sound to travel from the courtyard.
"They were preparing for your return banquet." Shan Mo Che Guoguang bowed, and tried to speak as softly as possible to the interrogator.
Then he hesitated, and said, "Do you need me … to stop them?"
"Banquet." Lingsu blinked, and looked at Shanmaqie. "No need."
Shanmaqie's body stiffened under the interrogator's gaze.
But he quickly recovered. Although the interrogator's gaze fell on him, the interrogator's gaze was somewhat unfocused, as if the interrogator was focused on him.
It was more like the interrogator was looking through him, at a distant and untraceable place.
A place that could never be reached.
"… What a nostalgic atmosphere." After a long while, his lord suddenly pursed his lips and smiled.
"Take a nap first, my lord.
We'll wake you up soon after the results are out. "Mitsuki Munechika said.
"Very well." Lingsu thought for a while, and said.
As soon as she said this, it was as if a taut string had suddenly loosened, and she quickly fell. Her body tilted towards Mitsuki Munechika, and gently fell into Mitsuki Munechika's arms.
The man's black-gloved fingers gently took her body.
The girl's frail body was slender, and the man's broad palm covered it as if he could break it with just a little force.
But everyone in this room knew that this was only her façade.
The barrier of the living room on the second floor was not activated, so Mitsuki Munechika could only straighten the interrogator's head, and let her sleep in a more comfortable position in his arms.
Seeing that he was focused on taking care of the interrogator, Che Guoguang, who was his personal attendant, could only stand up and say to the two members of the Akatsuki, "Sorry for the trouble."
Then, he left Heavensguard Pavilion and went to the nearby Funerary Deities' room. He took a blanket from Zuo Wenwen's family and covered the interrogator with it.
After that, he went to the front yard and told the swordsmen that the interrogator was not feeling well and was sleeping. The swordsmen in This Pill consciously lowered their voices.
But the preparations for the banquet were still ongoing. After all, this was the first time the interrogator wanted to eat with them, and it could be said that this was the first time This Pill had a formal meeting with a new interrogator, so the swordsmen were flattered.
Almost all the swordsmen participated in the preparations, and began to prepare more carefully.
They were so busy and careful until night time, when the interrogator finally woke up.
When Lingsu woke up, the interrogation had already ended.
She did not see the entire process, but Mitsuki Munechika and Che Guoguang, who were accompanying her in Heavensguard Pavilion, saw the entire process.
There was no need to say much. After a month of interrogation, that man began to reveal everything he knew, and revealed all of his plans.
It was said that these people were all temporarily recruited, and in order to protect the real manipulator behind the scenes, they did not even have any direct or indirect contact with them.
There was only one contact person who had been dealing with them.
And in the process of dealing with them, he discovered that there were actually two groups of people behind the scenes who had the idea of invading This Pill 3304.
One group was very well-hidden, and there were no traces to follow, while the other group had left behind some loopholes.
"Let me guess," Lingsu stood up, smoothed the traces of sleep on the corner of her clothes, and laughed lightly, "Flower Mountain Academy's Zong Yi?"
Scorpion raised his eyebrows, "He didn't say. He didn't know the name, only the coordinates.
It is said that one of the middlemen mentioned it when they contacted each other, so he secretly recorded it. "
He said a string of numbers, and the coordinates represented by that string of numbers were precisely the location of the wasted Honmaru.
Lingsu sighed. "Sure enough, the probe was exposed."
"Then what should we do now?" asked the mountain man.
"There's no rush."
Lingsu found the invitation letter on the table piled with documents, folded it, and put it in the mountain man's hand. "Put this away first.
Right now, the key things are with us. We're not the ones who are anxious, but them. "
"Didn't you say that there would be a banquet tonight? In that case, don't be busy with work tonight."
"Then, I'll take this person back and lock him up first."
The mountain man put away the invitation letter, then looked at the captive who had fainted after being tortured and had been drugged by Pharmaceutical Research. He picked him up with one hand and left the room, heading for the Hand Room.
Scorpion and Itachi were also about to leave.
Suddenly, Ling Su called out to them.
She turned around, her dress swirling and entangling with her hair.
She walked upstairs barefoot.
