13: Chapter 13 Torture to Interrogate Rebels: I Suffer Deaths Through Torture!

The prisoner's screams nearly blew the roof off. Iron needles were driven inch by inch into the spaces beneath his fingernails; just thinking about it felt exhilarating.

"Ready to talk now?"

He slowly twisted the end of the needle.

"What a pity, I haven't had enough fun yet!"

"No... no!"

"I beg you, stop!"

"I'll tell you! I'll tell you everything!"

The prisoner was covered in tears and snot, his body trembling uncontrollably from the piercing pain, losing all the bravado he had moments ago.

The scarred man's eyes were bloodshot, and he roared, "Wang Si, how dare you betray the Commander!"

Gu Han didn't even turn his head, merely flicking the end of the needle lightly.

"Ah!"

Wang Si's shriek nearly tore his throat apart. The entire iron needle had completely pierced through his finger, the tip protruding from his palm, dripping with blood.

"I'll talk! I'll talk!"

"The city's east grain warehouse..."

"The abandoned dye house in the south of the city..."

"In three days, at midnight..."

"Wreak havoc in the capital, assassinate officials and princes."

Captain Zhang's eyes sharpened, and he abruptly stood up.

"Is that true?"

Before the words had even left Captain Zhang's mouth, and before Wang Si could answer, Gu Han yanked the iron needle out.

Blood sprayed, and Wang Si fainted on the spot.

【Executed a sinful person, plundered forty-two remnants of fate】

"Got another one!"

At this moment, Gu Han looked at Captain Zhang with a look of apprehension.

"Kid Gu, continue interrogating the others."

"I want to know everything."

"It doesn't matter even if they all die."

The corners of Gu Han's mouth curled up imperceptibly.

"Understood, sir!"

"I will definitely interrogate everything out of them."

At this moment, the interrogation room was filled with a pungent mix of blood and chili pepper.

"Uncle Zhao, bring some more iron needles."

"I don't want to let a single one of this fellow's ten fingers go."

Gu Han selected another relatively young prisoner.

...

About an hour later.

Only the scarred man remained in the entire interrogation room.

The rest of the prisoners had been "accidentally" played to death by Gu Han.

He had also successfully condensed 3 life origin crystals.

At the same time, he felt a drain on his Qi and blood.

"Forgot about this."

"I was so focused on harvesting remnants of fate that I forgot synthesizing life origin crystals consumes a certain amount of Qi and blood."

Gu Han endured the sensation of dizziness.

"My Qi and blood are still insufficient."

"I need to find a few more Body Tempering Realm Cultivation Techniques to practice and see if I can strengthen my Qi and blood a bit more."

"Otherwise, having remnants of fate but insufficient Qi and blood..."

"That would be truly miserable."

Gu Han couldn't help but calculate in his heart.

"You're the only one left..."

After suppressing the dizziness, Gu Han looked at the scarred man with a cold smile.

At this moment, the scarred man was staring at him with the eyes of a dead man.

Beyond hatred, there was actually a trace of strange anticipation in his gaze.

"Little Beast..."

The scarred man suddenly grinned, revealing blood-stained teeth.

"You think you've won?"

Gu Han's heart jumped.

He saw the scarred man's muscles suddenly tense, and dark green, spiderweb-like veins appeared on his neck.

The black iron chains binding him began to groan under the strain.

"Bad!"

Captain Zhang roared.

"Kid Gu, back away!"

"He's going to detonate his Dantian!"

Seeing this, Gu Han also gave the scarred man a strange smile.

"I was already prepared for you."

"Do you really think I spent ten years reading web novels for nothing!"

"Don't villains always detonate themselves at the last moment!"

Quick as lightning, he drew the saber he had just received and plunged it straight into the scarred man's Dantian.

The moment the blade pierced the Dantian, a flash of astonishment crossed the scarred man's eyes.

His accumulated True Qi gushed out from the wound like a flood, interrupting his plan for mutual destruction.

"You...!"

The scarred man's Adam's apple bobbed, and the blood foam he spat out was mixed with fragments of his internal organs.

He stared in disbelief at the seemingly frail youth before him.

The mockery at the corner of Gu Han's mouth, seemingly harmless, hid a lethal killing intent.

Gu Han twisted his wrist, churning the scarred man's Dantian into mush.

At the same time, the scarred man's scattered True Qi blasted Gu Han away.

【Executed a sinful person, plundered two hundred and eighteen remnants of fate】

Gu Han suddenly groaned; the depletion of his Qi and blood from synthesizing three life origin crystals made his vision go black.

Seeing this, Captain Zhang immediately acted to smooth out the chaotic Qi and blood within Gu Han's body.

He also channeled several streams of True Qi to protect Gu Han.

"Pfft!"

After Gu Han spat out a mouthful of blood, the Qi and blood in his body finally calmed down completely.

Afterward, he feigned difficulty in standing up.

"Sir, I have finally fulfilled my mission and interrogated everything."

"It's just..."

"Just that they are all dead."

Having said that, Gu Han showed an embarrassed expression.

Seeing this, Captain Zhang couldn't help but laugh.

"Kid Gu, don't panic."

"The intelligence has been obtained, so it doesn't matter if these people are dead."

"Neither I nor my superiors will fixate on such minor matters."

"Also, this time I am going to record a major merit for you."

"Here, this is my personal reward to you."

"Your merit points will be recorded on your identity token."

Immediately, Captain Zhang took a bottle of Medicinal Pill from his bosom and tossed it to Gu Han.

"This bottle of Blood Strengthening Pills is for you, recover your Qi and blood well."

"However, where did you get these little gadgets you used for interrogation?"

"The effect is very good, I am very satisfied."

"From now on, all interrogations are yours."

Gu Han took the Medicinal Pill.

"Thank you for the reward, sir!"

While thanking Captain Zhang, he quickly tucked the Medicinal Pill into his bosom.

Seeing this, Captain Zhang couldn't help but laugh.

"Where did that cold-faced Yama go just now?"

Gu Han scratched his head.

"Sir, you know my situation."

"I've never seen such good things, and I haven't really taken Medicinal Pills."

"I couldn't help but act like that out of excitement."

Of course, all of this was feigned by Gu Han.

He had to make Captain Zhang perceive him as someone who hadn't seen good things or the world.

Only then could he use Captain Zhang's wings to accomplish his own affairs.

"Alright, the intelligence is urgent, I am going to report to the Commander, I'll leave this place to you."

Seeing Captain Zhang about to leave, Gu Han hurriedly asked.

"Sir, how should I deal with the rebels in the two interrogation rooms next door?"

Hearing this, Captain Zhang didn't turn his head and said.

"It's up to you to deal with them, whether they live or die, I won't ask."

"Anyway, these people are of no use anymore."

Hearing this, Gu Han couldn't help but grin uncontrollably.

Zhao De and the other Jailers on the side saw Gu Han like this and were stunned again.

They looked at each other, their eyes full of confusion about Gu Han.

It was as if they were meeting Gu Han for the first time.

After all, they had never used or even heard of the interrogation methods Gu Han had just used.

In the past, when they interrogated, it was at most flogging, or applying red-hot branding irons.

"Brother Han, what should we do next?"

Hearing Zhao De's words, Gu Han finally came back to his senses.

"Uncle Zhao, Brother Li, you guys take these rebel corpses to the morgue!"

"I'm going to the room next door to interrogate some more."

After speaking, he walked out of the prison cell.

After Gu Han left, Brother Li quietly asked Zhao De.

"Boss Zhao, how come Brother Han is like a different person?"

"He used to be such a weak and refined person."

"Now, when he interrogates, he has all sorts of tricks."

Hearing this, Zhao De sighed.

"Sigh!"

"I guess Brother Han must have been hit hard!"

"Let's get to work!"
