Chapter 75

[Of course, you can’t expose the second life, naturally you have to pretend to be completely ignorant]

[In the torture room, a man in his thirties with glasses is tied up. He looks polite and does not look like a villain]

[Your father Schubert told you that this man, named Hudson, has been secretly promoting the rumors of “Millennium Lies” and damaging Lawrence’s reputation. It is an outright heresy]

[About the “Millennium Lie”, you have actually heard about it. To put it simply, some scholars of Mond, based on the clues left over from the past, believe that the existing Mond history is fabricated by the Lawrence family in order to cover up the truth of the crime]

[You know in your heart that this is not actually a “lie”, but in order to ensure its dominance, the Lawrence family naturally attribute this statement to a heresy that confuses the public.]

[Your father told you that the Lawrence family has always had a secret organization called the “Picketers”, and the purpose of its existence is to secretly erase all existences that are unfavorable to the Lawrence family’s rule]

[Of course, pickets who walk in the dark will naturally often do some dark things. In order to maintain the status of the family, it has become a “necessary evil”]

[You are not surprised by this, because this so-called “picker” was created by you as “Uberhardt”]

[Your father, Schubert, is the manager of the pickets. The reason why he brought you here is that he hopes you can become a picket, and torturing Hudson is your “first lesson”]

[However, Hudson seemed to be very hard-hearted. He stared at you and your father angrily, and said angrily: “You liars who hide the truth! Thieves! I will never compromise with you! The truth… … is impossible to defeat!”]

[“At the beginning, their mouths would be relatively hard,” Schubert pointed to the surrounding torture instruments with a blank expression, and said, “However, generally no one can survive three.”]

[Thousands of years have brought a lot of development to torture tools. Except for some familiar torture tools, there are many styles, and you have never seen them before]

[Sure enough, humans always have a unique talent in how to torture humans]

[Schubert showed you the use of torture tools with familiarity, you couldn’t believe it, that middle-aged gentleman who was always polite and attached importance to etiquette on weekdays, but at this time, like a ruthless butcher, ruthlessly torturing the heretics in front of him 】

[Blood splashed on the coat he prepared in advance, his expression was very indifferent, as if he was teaching you how to deal with a **** that was about to be cooked]

[You finally understand the reason why Schubert asked you to serve in the military academy. From the very beginning, he planned to train himself to be a picketer, so he asked you to hone your will]

[“Leave the rest to me.” You held your father’s wrist and said lightly: “Within an hour, I will make him obediently obey the law.”]

[Schubert seemed a little surprised, but nodded with great relief and left the torture room. After a while, there was a heart-piercing howl from the torture room.]

The second volume of the girl’s precarious killing intent: 175 Smiling Death

[When Schubert returned to the torture room again, Hudson, who was still very stubborn just now, had already pressed the **** handprint on the “repentance letter” and confessed all the information he knew]

[To deal with these heresies, there are generally two ways to deal with them: the first is to make them confess their guilt and repent, and detain them according to their crimes]

[And the second is to deal with those heretics who would rather die than obey, and they will be publicly burned at the stake to show everyone.]

[Although this method is a bit cruel, the Lawrence family has no other choice. The only way is to find the source of the “Millennium Lie” and eradicate it completely]

[Over the years, the pickets have also been exploring the source of the Millennium Lies, but the clues they got are very few. Instead, there are heresies who believe in the “Millennium Lies”, and the number seems to be increasing.]

[You know the truth of everything in your heart, but in order to maintain the rule of the Lawrence family, especially for Yula, you can only choose to bury the truth with your own hands]

[20 years old: You joined the “Picketer” in just one year, but you have achieved a lot of achievements. Your style of behavior is very ruthless, and even many seniors are a little afraid]

[Although the picketers are a secret organization of the Lawrence family, there are still rumors among the people, and you, the rookie picketer, has also been dubbed the “Smiling Death”]

[The reason is very simple. It is said that every time you are tortured, you always smile, but your behavior is as sinister and terrifying as death]

[In your previous life, your hands were already stained with blood, and there is no pressure on you to torture prisoners]

[However, you didn’t tell Yula that you became a picketer. You know that she has a strong sense of justice, so I’m afraid most of them won’t understand her choice]

[When all heretics are completely eliminated, I will be able to be with Yura without any worries]

[21 years old: You have got a new assignment. Recently, a heretic who had been imprisoned for more than ten years was released from prison. It is said that he was the first group of people who promoted heresy theories back then. The origin of the “lie” is related]

[And your task is to observe it secretly and collect evidence]

[This is not the first time you have performed a similar task. Generally speaking, people who are released from prison will not dare to do it again after trying the pain again]

[However, as usual, you checked the information of the mission target]

[His name is Rafael. Thirteen years ago, he was arrested and tortured for secretly promoting the “Millennium Lies”, and was eventually put into prison for detention]

[And his father is a well-known blacksmith in the city of Mond – Wagner]

Wagner?

Li Xingshan frowned slightly.

Isn’t this the blacksmith in the simulator where I went to buy daggers when I was a child?

Unexpectedly, it even echoed from the beginning to the end.

[You changed into civilian clothes, pretended to be an ordinary guest, and walked into Wagner’s blacksmith shop, ready to explore]

[I have to say that the owner of this store is really not good at doing business. The equipment he has built is of excellent quality, but it has been more than ten years and there is no sign of expanding the size of the store.]

[This is probably also related to Wagner’s character. Since his son was imprisoned, he has become withdrawn and irritable. He has never had a good face or a good word for his guests]

【Entering somatosensory mode】

[Mission goal: Obtain useful information in each somatosensory mode, and the reward will be determined according to the level of detail of the information]

“welcome!”

As soon as he opened the door, Li Xingshan saw a middle-aged man waving a hammer and greeting him: “Excuse me, what do you want to buy?”

That middle-aged man was the blacksmith Wagner of this blacksmith shop. More than ten years later, his temples were all white hair, but his body was still very strong due to the daily ironing.

However, his attitude made Li Xingshan feel a little strange. Did this stinky blacksmith actually take the initiative to say hello to the guests?

“I… I’ll just take a look.” Li Xingshan said casually.

“Okay, just look at it! Just look at it!” Wagner tapped the red-hot iron block in front of him with a smile: “Today is 20% off!”

“What’s the matter with your boss?” Li Xingshan asked Schutz who was stocking goods by the side: “I remember, he’s not in this temper.”

According to the information obtained by Li Xingshan, this Schutz, an apprentice of this blacksmith shop, has been working here for more than ten years. Although he works very hard, his talent is limited and he has never been able to obtain Wagner’s true biography.

“It’s not because Big Brother Rafael was released from prison,” Schutz sighed and said, “After all, he is his own son. Although Master didn’t say anything, his heart was already full of joy.”

Although Schutz has an honest personality, after all, he has worked with Wagner for more than ten years, and he is more or less his half son.

But this master seldom had any good feelings for himself, and he didn’t know how many times he scolded and belittled his works.

Sometimes, Schutz even wondered if the master was deliberately hiding, not teaching himself the real craft, but waiting for his son Rafael to be released from prison, and then teach him all the money.

“Excuse me, do you need any help?”

At this moment, a polite voice came from behind Li Xingshan. He looked around and saw a man in his thirties looking at him with a smile.

Li Xingshan’s eyes narrowed slightly, he was the main target of this mission – Rafal.

Compared to the photos in the document, he looks much thinner, with slightly sunken eye sockets and scars on his arms. Obviously, the ten-year prison life has caused him a lot of hardships.

“Brother Rafael, why did you come out again?” Schutz quickly supported him and said, “Didn’t the doctor say so? You are weak, so you need to rest well.”

“I also want to help the family,” Rafael smiled weakly and said, “I can still do the shopping guide.”

It seems that there is nothing unusual.

Could it be that I think too much, has Rafael changed his mind?

However, since the system has issued a task, it means that he must have a problem.

At this moment, Li Xingshan’s eyes were suddenly attracted by a golden bracelet on the counter, he picked it up subconsciously, and asked curiously, “Does your blacksmith shop still sell gold jewelry? ”

“Sorry, that’s not for sale,” Wagner waved his hand and said with a smile, “This is a child who landed here more than ten years ago, and I’ve been waiting for him to come back and pick it up.”

Only then did Li Xingshan react…

Isn’t this the golden bracelet that he left here in order to buy that dagger back then?

The second volume of the girl’s precarious killing intent: 176 The torture of the **** of death

Unexpectedly, for so many years, Wagner has not sold it, but wanted to return it to himself?

For some reason, Li Xingshan was suddenly moved.

For a moment, he really hoped that there was nothing wrong with Rafael, otherwise, the old father who had waited for his son for more than ten years would definitely be very sad, right?

“I said, Master, how many years have passed. That child must have grown up long ago, can you still recognize it?” Schutz said helplessly:

“Besides, the owner of this golden bracelet is probably a nobleman. Maybe he doesn’t care about the money at all. It’s better to sell it earlier and expand the store.”

“Stinky boy! In business, the most important thing is integrity!” Wagner said a little unhappily: “Besides, my memory is very good. As long as I can see that kid, I will definitely… eh?”

Suddenly, Wagner’s eyes fell on Li Xingshan, and he murmured, “Wait, this face… there’s nothing wrong with it, you are the little guy back then!”

I’ll go, it’s not just mere memory, right?

Mine are all ten years older, can they recognize them?

Li Xingshan subconsciously took two steps back, only to hear a “pop”, the “dagger against the child” that he carried with him happened to slip from his waist and landed on the ground.

“Isn’t this the dagger I sold you back then?” Wagner recognized his work at a glance, and said with a smile, “It’s so well maintained! I really didn’t see you wrong! Hahaha!”

To actually make such a low-level mistake, what a mistake…

Since his identity could no longer be concealed, Li Xingshan had to pick up the dagger and said embarrassedly, “I didn’t expect you to remember me after so many years. As for this bracelet, I knew from the beginning that it was gold, so it doesn’t matter if you accept it. ”

“Then I’m welcome, you nobles are indeed very generous.” Wagner’s character was quite forthright, he nodded, and said, “Just right, this gold bracelet can be reserved for Rafael to marry his wife.”

Hearing this sentence, the expressions on Rafael and Schutz’s faces changed slightly.

The jealousy in Schutz’s eyes naturally didn’t need to be said, and the panic in Rafael’s eyes naturally did not escape Li Xingshan’s experienced observation.

He definitely has a problem.

“Cough cough…” I saw Rafael coughing twice, frowning slightly: “Sorry, I’m still a little uncomfortable, so I’ll go back to my room to rest first.”

His breathing was uneven, his expression changed, and even his walking movements were a little stiff.

Can’t go wrong.

“Now, I don’t have to hide it anymore.” Li Xingshan suddenly said indifferently, “Mr. Rafael, as a picket team, I request that your room be searched.”

As soon as these words came out, the three people in front of them all showed extremely surprised expressions.

Wagner, who was still smiling just now, was even more excited at this time: “Yes… Is there something wrong? My son has been remodeled and will never have anything to do with those heresies!”

“Sorry, I’m also on business,” Li Xingshan said lightly, “Mr. Rafael, please lead the way, don’t worry, if you are really innocent, I won’t embarrass you.”

Although Rafael’s expression was ugly, he nodded and led Li Xingshan into his room.

The furnishings are very simple, there are books that have not been closed on the desk, and the flames in the fireplace are burning vigorously.

Li Xingshan checked around as usual, but found no clues. The books on the bookshelf were just some common novels and poetry collections.

“I… I said it all,” Wagner also followed the room and said nervously: “Rafael has promised me that he will never touch those things again!”

Just when Li Xingshan was about to give up, he noticed Rafael’s sight, and seemed to glance in the direction of the fireplace intentionally or unintentionally.

Li Xingshan’s heart tightened, and he stretched out his palm directly, only to see a wisp of icy air that instantly spewed out of his palm, extinguishing the flames in the fireplace.

He leaned down, but found some unburned paper from the ashes, but the writing on it was already unrecognizable.

“Explain,” Li Xingshan held up the charred piece of paper and said, “What are you burning? Are you… trying to destroy the evidence?”

“It’s nothing,” Rafael explained. “There’s no more firewood, so… I put some old books in to help burn it.”

“Is there no firewood in the blacksmith shop?” Li Xingshan sneered, “Mr. Rafael, do you think our pickets are all fools? Please come with us.”

“Wait…wait a minute!” I saw Wagner, who has always been arrogant, actually knelt on the ground with a “pop” and said:

“There must be some misunderstanding here! Please, just spare him this time, as much as you want! It doesn’t matter if you give this store to you! Let… let him go!”

The son who had just been imprisoned for more than ten years has not been released for a long time, and he will be arrested again. It is no wonder that Wagner is so broken down.

“I, like you, hope your son is fine,” Li Xingshan said with a blank face, “If you want to resist, there are still my subordinates outside…”

“No need,” Rafael said lightly, “I’ll go with you.”

…………

Torture outdoors.

Li Xingshan took a cigarette in silence. In reality, he was not addicted to smoking, but in this simulator, after becoming a picketer, he began to smoke incessantly.

“Squeak…”

The door of the torture room opened, and the two pickets were sweating and said, “Boss, he still won’t say anything.”

“Let me do it.” Li Xingshan didn’t blame them, he threw the remaining half of the cigarette on the ground and stomped it out before he walked into the torture room.

On the chair, Rafael, who was still neatly dressed just now, has become embarrassed, and his body is covered with blood-red scars.

“Mr. Rafael,” Li Xingshan said with a smile, “are we satisfied with our hospitality?”

“Sure enough, it’s the smiling death…” Rafael said weakly: “With scorched pieces of paper as evidence, people can be arrested and tortured. Is this what the pickets do?”
