Chapter 20 The format always forces the protagonist to be more villain than villain.
In order to scare the demon hunter in front of him, Lan tried hard to recall the lines and expressions of the villains in his previous life.
Immediately afterwards, the captured demon hunter saw that as the noble kid in front of him got closer little by little, his face also showed a grin that was absolutely impossible for a noble kid. The grin was so wide that it almost tore off the corners of his mouth. A big smile.
"Don't be so serious... If I really want to say it, the next step is actually the 'academic discussion' part, because I need to verify the authenticity of the knowledge I learned about forced confessions. Since it is the first time to practice, it is inevitable that I It will be a bit tricky, so please remind me in time." "
Now you seem to feel that your hope is shattered - it doesn't matter, because next I will help you put it back together again, so that I have a chance to smash it again "
...
"What do you want to know? What do you want to know?"
It was the first time that Judd woke up from the feeling of drowning. He had never felt that the cheap air in the past had become so precious. In order not to return to that suffocating world, Judd had no choice but to seize the only opportunity he had to speak and shout loudly.
"What the hell do you want to know? Just ask!"
"Shh... don't worry." Lan said and covered Judd's face with a thick cotton cloth again, picked up the old and dirty barrel and started to put it in Pour water on top. As the witcher breathed rapidly, the cotton cloth seemed to turn into a tight mask, adsorbing on the other person's face and outlining his facial features.
"If you do it all now, I'm really worried that you will lie to me, so... ten rounds, no less than one round. Then I will start asking questions." "Don't worry, I have already started to master it
. I'm up, and I have to thank you for this."
"Uh-huh...wu!"
The blocked roar was not loud, but it was enough to be heard by people outside in the cell where there was no other sound.
Several jailers and interrogators sat outside, pricking up their ears to eavesdrop on what was going on inside.
"It seems like they only brought in a few pieces of cloth and a few buckets of water from the beginning. Why did I hear that guy with yellow eyes was going to be tortured for three days and three nights? He looked like a Tough bones."
"And I didn't hear the sound of whipping or ironing." The interrogator on the side nodded solemnly, "That swordsman is not an ordinary tough guy. When I treated his wounds, he didn't even shake his skin. ."
A jailer carefully put his head out and then retracted it: "There doesn't seem to be any blood...it's very clean."
Another interrogator nodded more solemnly: "And the earl seemed not to let the other party speak and blocked his mouth. Continue the torture."
Several people trembled at the same time.
Facts have proven that there is a reason why waterboarding is so famous around the world and frequently appears in various American TV series, movies and novels.
For those without professional training, it is indeed very impressive.
After calling the jailer outside to put the wooden frame up again, Lan grabbed the witcher's hair and forced him to look directly at him with half-open eyes.
"Congratulations, the ten rounds of the preliminary test have passed. If you are still conscious now - and you must be - please pay attention to my next questions. The first question: Who are you?" The demon hunter's
name
is Jared Carradine, after Lann carefully listened to the other person's brief introduction to his life and his ideals and aspirations for the future, Lann finally remembered that this was actually a character with a name in the original game.
Based on a side plot of the game "The Witcher 3". In the future, he will be approached by the protagonist for ordering his assassin team to assassinate a cat demon hunter friend of the protagonist White Wolf's old comrade Lambert.
Well, a Cat Faction witcher killed another Cat Faction and was beaten by two Wolf Factions. This is another evidence that a Cat Faction is rich in lunatics.
At that time, Judd had fulfilled part of his life ideals, lived a prosperous life, had a wife and adopted two children. The player operating the game can choose whether to kill him or not.
Of course, there is also an explanation. That is, the scene of family harmony is just an illusion made by Judd to confuse the demon hunter. Judd's "wife" is obviously at home but carries a sword with her, and the two children play wantonly but are extremely restrained. It seems to be another assassin's trap, which is difficult to prove.
Anyway, judging from the current situation, it is impossible for Judd to meet his wife who is not sure whether she is real or fake.
"Next, the second question." Lann took out the magic source crystal that had provided him with a skill point before. "Where did you get this from?" "This is not
mine, it's just a smuggled cargo. From A mage got it from an abandoned mage tower. Some 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 for blocking your last order
. Business has blocked your progress towards a new life." Lann apologized without sincerity. "Then the third question is."
Lann took a deep breath and asked the question that he was most concerned about, and that he also captured. The ultimate goal of this witcher.
"Tell me - the process of the Witcher Trial!"
Judd, who was already dying, suddenly looked up after hearing this question, and at that moment, his already dim amber pupils sparkled again.
"What do you want to do? Cultivate demon hunter soldiers?" Judd looked at the face of the young man in front of him in surprise.
"No, no, you seem very nervous... It's you, it's you who wants to become a witcher!" "
That's not it," Lan said expressionlessly, "Wrong answer, try again."
Lan said. Ignoring Judd's struggle and begging for mercy, he put him down, covered him with cotton cloth, and started filling him with water again.
After another desperate suffocation, Judd, on the verge of collapse, breathed in fresh air.
"I'll ask again, the content of the Witcher Trial. If you don't know, you can just answer "I don't know." "
I... know." Judd lowered his head and murmured, "Of course I know, and of course I can tell. You. But noble boy, you don’t know the price of becoming a demon hunter, let alone the price of becoming a demon hunter.” “
Every demon hunter will learn how to create a new demon hunter and bear the responsibility of letting our tribe The mission of increasing the number. Because our number is too small, and it is getting smaller and smaller. If you can become a witcher, the madmen of the Cat Faction may still be ecstatic." "And if you die
. "Judd's bloodshot eyes widened. "I will be ecstatic!"
Lan opened his notebook and looked at the demon hunter indifferently: "You can start."
