Don't be afraid, fairy, I'm blind

Chapter 389: Dungeon Torture
You Su turned his head in the direction of the voice and was surprised to find that there was a mirror hanging on the wall of the dungeon. The voice came from the direction of the mirror.

The mirror suddenly glowed, but the reflection in the mirror did not reflect You Su's figure, but a white cat hanging above a frying pan.

The white cat is none other than Bai Ze!
In the frying pan, the hot oil was bubbling and sizzling. In order to avoid falling into the frying pan, Bai Ze had to curl his two claws upwards desperately, but the oil splashed on his body from time to time, and still roasted his hair until it smoked.

Xiao Bai Ze's cat eyes were filled with fear and helplessness. He struggled desperately, trying to escape from this horrible situation, but the rope that bound him was like iron and did not move at all.

"Help! Ding Zhen!"

Bai Ze also saw You Su through the mirror. It was screaming desperately and waving its limbs. Its earnest voice expressed the fear in its heart vividly.

The moment You Su heard this name, he felt fortunate that Bai Ze was obsessed with the story of Ding Zhen and Zhen Zhu, otherwise if he called out his real name directly, it would be even more troublesome. But he always felt that the other party was coming for him.

Unfortunately, You Su walked a few steps left and right, but did not see the figure of the person who made the sound in the mirror. It was obvious that the person was hiding where he could not be seen.

You Su sneered, his eyes sharp as a blade, staring directly at the mirror that was flashing with strange light, his voice as cold as ice:

"What does a cat have to do with me? You've chosen the wrong 'hostage'. I'm afraid your efforts will be in vain."

When Bai Ze heard this, a look of disbelief and sadness flashed in his eyes. He didn't expect You Su to be so indifferent and even deny his friendship with him.

The little beast's voice trembled slightly, with a sobbing tone, as if it had suffered great injustice, and even forgot to continue to struggle to break free from the restraints on its body:

"Ding Zhen, how can you say that? Have you forgotten that we left my house together, traveled thousands of miles, and went through untold hardships to get to this Kongyuan Divine Mountain? Have you forgotten all this? How can you abandon me now!"

You Su remained expressionless, with a mocking smile on his face: "It's just a cat, do you really take yourself seriously?"

Bai Ze was extremely grief-stricken, as if he had suffered a great blow. He ignored the hot oil from the frying pan and splattered on his body, crying even louder: "You are talking nonsense! You clearly promised me! You said you would take me to find the Palace Master of Jianlong Palace, you said..."

"shut up!"

You Su suddenly shouted loudly, interrupting Bai Ze's monologue.

You Su knew very well that the whereabouts of the pile of divine stones was top secret. If Bai Ze continued to say so, everything would be revealed. He could not easily expose this secret to people with ill intentions.

Upon hearing this, Bai Ze's eyes flashed with despair. He stopped struggling and said in a low and sad voice:
“Are these all fake?”

The more Bai Ze talked, the more You Su couldn't hold it in anymore. He felt helpless that Bai Ze was about to confess.

You Su could only rub his brows, sighed inwardly, and then cursed in a low voice, with a tone that sounded like he was disappointed in someone:
"You stupid cat...I said that to him!"

After saying this, Bai Ze was slightly startled, then he realized that You Su was lying, so his eyes lit up again and he said in surprise:
"I know you're not that kind of person! You're just trying to distance yourself from the matter, right?"

You Su held his forehead even deeper, as if to acquiesce, then frowned and said loudly to the other side of the mirror:
"You are hiding in plain sight, and you dare not show yourself? You can only bully the weak, which is not considered as a capable person."

As soon as he finished speaking, the rope on Bai Ze's body shook suddenly, and he was actually closer to the oil surface, almost only a millimeter away.

Bai Ze screamed again in fear, and only managed to grab the hanging rope with his backhand to avoid falling into the oil pan:

"Ding Zhen! Save me!"

You Su's heart tightened, and he was relieved to see that Bai Ze was fine. He felt that the man behind the mirror was even more difficult. The other party was obviously not angry because of his words, but used more severe threats to show that he didn't care about those words.

The voice that was difficult to tell whether it was male or female sounded again, like ice cutting through the quiet dungeon, with unquestionable majesty:
"If you want it to live, answer the questions honestly."

When You Su heard this, he felt powerless. He looked at Bai Ze who was struggling in pain in the mirror, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes.

"Okay, I'll answer."

"Name." the man asked coldly.

"Dabang." You Su answered, and at the same time took out the identity document forged for him by Master Aoshu from his arms and gently unfolded it to show his sincerity.

The man just sneered, his voice echoing in the small dungeon with a bone-chilling chill: "This cute little cat just called you Ding Zhen, do you think I'm deaf?"

You Su's heart trembled, and when he was about to explain, he saw the rope hanging Bai Ze suddenly fall again. Bai Ze screamed in horror, and he tried his best to climb up the rope, leaving deep marks on the rope with his claws. Finally, he managed to stabilize his body and avoid being cooked in oil.

But its tail accidentally fell into the boiling oil pan, and there was an instant crackling sound. The dog curled up its tail and cried out in pain.

You Su frowned, speaking in a low but firm voice: "Your Excellency, you know that this cat is no small matter. It is the ancient mythical beast Bai Ze! If you attempt to kill the mythical beast in such a cruel way, then the law of heaven will come and you will be punished. You will bear endless sins!"

The person behind the mirror uttered a creepy sneer upon hearing this. The sound echoed in the small dungeon, as if it could penetrate a person's soul:
"A divine beast? It's just a piece of trash that has lost its mysterious energy. But a divine beast is still a divine beast after all. This body is enough for it to roam the wild. How can a mere punishment of boiling it in oil kill it? It will only bring it a little torture. Since I won't kill it, what can the debt do to me?"

You Su clenched his fists upon hearing this, knowing that the situation was extremely tricky.

"I'll give you one last chance. Tell me your name."

You Su Moran looked at Bai Ze who was looking at him pitifully, and he finally stopped hiding:

"Since you already have the answer in your mind, why do you have to keep asking?"

"If you don't admit it, I won't make any assertions."

You Su heaved a long sigh of relief, as if he had made up his mind:

"Yusu."

"It's really you."

The person behind the mirror had indeed anticipated You Su's identity. "I didn't expect that the most wanted criminal in the five continents would be caught by me. I also didn't expect that the evil demon who murdered more than a hundred geniuses would reveal his identity for a cat."

"Bai Ze has nothing to do with what I did before, let it go." You Su said in a deep voice.

"Are you threatening me?" The man's voice was a little playful, as if he didn't care about You Su's words. You Su raised his eyes, his eyes were firm, and his voice was calm and steady: "This is not a threat, this is a warning."

As soon as these words came out, the man actually laughed out loud. The laughter echoed in the dungeon, with a bit of sarcasm: "Warning? You are a prisoner, what qualifications do you have to warn me?"

You Su raised a faint smile, neither humble nor arrogant: "So what if I'm a prisoner? It's better than those people who think they can control everything but are actually just frogs in a well."

The man laughed even more brazenly: "Have you always been so arrogant? You have clearly fallen into the hands of the enemy, but you still look like you have a sure win."

You Su was silent for a moment, but he was thinking about something else in his mind.

Seeing that You Su remained silent, the man asked again, "I am curious, how did you end up in Beiaozhou? What is your purpose in coming to Beiaozhou?"

"It was all an accident. I was stranded in the snowfield without any purpose. It was just fate that brought me here."

"Without purpose?" The man sneered, "If you have no purpose, you should never approach the sacred mountain as a sinner. This Kongyuan sacred mountain is not a place where an evil demon like you can set foot at will. You are seeking your own death."

You Su frowned slightly, but he didn't agree in his heart. He knew very well that although he was charged with a crime, his heart was clear and he had no regrets. He spoke slowly:
"I came to the sacred mountain for a reason."

"Oh?" There was a hint of curiosity in the man's voice, "Tell me, what is your purpose that makes you disregard your own life?"

You Su took a deep breath, his eyes fell on Bai Ze who was struggling in the mirror, a trace of tenderness flashed in his eyes: "I came to the sacred mountain because I was stranded in the snowy plains, and I was saved by Bai Ze's grace. So I was entrusted by it to find the Dragon Palace Master, hoping that she could cure Bai Ze."

Hearing this, the man laughed again: "Do you think I would believe it? How could such a loyal and righteous person be the same person who corrupted hundreds of his peers? Could it be that you have cut off the evil in your body?"

"It's up to you whether you believe it or not." You Su replied coldly.

The man asked again: "Beiaozhou and Zhongyuanzhou's South Sea are tens of thousands of miles apart. You came to my Kongyuan Divine Mountain. How can you get away with it by saying it was a coincidence?"

"I fell into the South China Sea and drifted downstream. When I woke up, I was in the Arctic snowfield. I don't know anything else. If you don't believe me, there is no need to ask."

"Fell into the South China Sea? The evil tide surged under the sea, but you fell into it without any harm. It seems that you are really an evil demon."

"The evil demons and evil gods were all named by others." You Su had a clear conscience.

The man sneered, "Tell me, what happened on the Fairy Island in the South China Sea on the night when the Lord of Flesh and Blood invaded. It's quite clear. It happened on the Fairy Island, not on the coast."

"Is this your real purpose?" You Su asked back.

"So what? Do you have the right not to say it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the rope that Bai Ze was hanging on began to shake again, as if it was in danger of breaking at any time.

Bai Ze glanced at the shivering hot oil pan below, then quickly looked away, looking at You Su with guilt and fear.

You Su took a deep breath. "Since I have been convicted, it means that what happened on Fairy Island that night has been concluded. Why do you want me to recount it again?"

“Because it doesn’t make sense, I’m curious.”

"What's irrational about that?"

You Su also learned from Venerable Qianhua that the main reason why he was misunderstood by the world was because the True Immortal Zhengyang showed the powerful people from various continents the scene of himself shedding blood and turning into an evil puppet.

But this scene was cut off from the beginning to the end, causing everyone who saw it to think that he was the instigator. According to the legend, if You Su were in his place, he would probably think of himself as an unforgivable evil demon.

"The popular saying is that the so-called Awakening Light of the Immortal Zhengyang is a big scam, the purpose of which is to lure the geniuses of the Five Continents to the Immortal Island and kill them together, and then cut off the inheritance of the Five Continents. And you are a very evil demon lurking in the human race, and your purpose is to cooperate with the outside world in the Awakening Island. This seems very reasonable on the surface, but there is a detail that does not stand up to scrutiny."

After the man spoke more, You Su could also tell that it was a false voice. The other party must have deliberately added some restrictions to make his voice sound difficult to distinguish between male and female.

"According to this statement, you and Immortal Zhengyang should be on the same boat. Then why did he show the footage of you turning people into evil? Wouldn't it be better to let you continue to be buried among the human race after you have harmed so many people?"

You Su's pupils slightly dilated. He had never thought of this step. Because from his perspective, what Zhenxian Zhengyang did must have a deep meaning, so the other party repeatedly emphasized to him the difficulty of this road before leaving. After confirming that his master's wife and others were fortunately safe, he did not have too many resentments about it. After all, it was the road he chose. And the innocent are innocent, he did not think that he would bear this crime for the rest of his life.

"Of course, there are some explanations, such as you no longer need to hide, or Immortal Zhengyang showing off his victory to the human race, but I still think it's a bit far-fetched. People judged you to be evil because of the picture released by another evil... This makes it difficult for me not to doubt."

You Su remained silent.

The man continued, "I guess there are three possibilities. One is that you were framed. Two is that Immortal Zhengyang was wrongly accused. Three is that he did it on purpose because you have a deeper purpose. If you want me to overturn the case for you, tell me everything that happened that night."

"You and I are not related in any way. It will do you no good to overturn my verdict. What is your purpose in investigating this matter?" You Su saw it very clearly.

"It seems I underestimated you." The man's voice was a little amused. "You have been called a blind man for eighteen years, but you can actually see. How could such a scheming person be so bothered by a temporary crime?"

You Su's pupils slightly dilated, and he had not taken off the sunglasses on his nose, so he habitually used his black pupils to see things. When he saw Bai Ze being threatened by being put on the oil pan, he did not choose to turn a blind eye in order to avoid the blind man's feature. But now he remembered that the other party had already recognized who he was!

"Why? You've been hiding something for more than ten years, and now it's exposed. Are you panicking?"

You Su gritted his teeth secretly, thinking that he was careless. He had to admit that he had already lost a move in this psychological game.

He knew very well that the more anxious he was, the calmer he had to be. The other party's identity and purpose were all a mystery, and he must not let himself be led by the nose like this.

Suddenly, an electric current flashed through his mind and he chuckled.

"why are you laughing?"

"I almost thought you were a kindhearted man who cared about the truth. I never thought you were just a selfish worm. You want to know where the awakening light is, right?"
