Stunningly beautiful yet wicked, she begins by conquering eight beast husbands.

Chapter 83 The quantum computer is encrypted

Scarlett also prepared a clean place for Ashley, but she didn't plan to take him there now.

Ashley glared at her the whole way, his eyes practically popping out of their sockets, which shows just how furious he was.

In this situation, the other party will not communicate properly.

Scarlett decided to scare him first, and then she would be more willing to talk to him.

She instructed Chi Ye, "Take him to the torture chamber."

In the basement of Herda Palace, there is a large torture chamber specifically used to punish servants who have done wrong.

The room was filled with instruments of torture, each stained with blood that hadn't been cleaned for years and emanated a strong, foul stench.

The basement wasn't well-ventilated, so all these smells piled up together, and when the door was opened, the stench made my eyes sting.

The original owner loved bringing her beast husbands to the torture chamber, letting them watch others being tortured, tormenting their minds and bodies, and warning them not to have any disloyal thoughts.

of course.

Scarlett isn't that twisted.

She had already ordered the torture chamber to be cleaned again, the blood on the torture instruments was washed off, and the areas that could be ventilated were opened for ventilation, making the environment much better than before.

The torture chamber should be preserved.

Whether or not to use it is another matter.

But Chi Ye and the others didn't know that their expressions changed drastically upon hearing the words "torture chamber".

Chi Ye looked at Scarlett in astonishment.

Holst frowned.

Riley glanced at Scarlett silently for a moment.

Of the four, Ashley reacted the least. His cold snort was muffled by the silencing device, and his slightly rounded eyes swept disdainfully over Scarlett's face. He narrowed his eyes, and his desire to glare at her faded.

Ashley had been holed up in the research institute doing research all along, except for receiving a message from Riley about the divorce.

He knew almost nothing about the changes in Scarlett during this period.

In his eyes.

Scarlett is still that wicked woman.

It's not surprising that they would do something like this.

Chi Ye hesitated and said, "Scarlett..."

Scarlett didn't look at him, snorted, and turned her head to the side.

It's clear she has no intention of taking back her decision.

Chi Ye gritted his teeth, said nothing more, and led Ashley toward the torture chamber.

He will buy him the best medicine.

As soon as the group entered the torture chamber, they were stunned for a moment upon seeing the brand-new torture instruments and the snow-white walls. Before they could take a closer look, they heard Scarlett say coldly, "Tie him to the chair, heat the branding iron until it's red-hot, and charge the stun gun!"

Feeling guilty, Chi Ye did as instructed.

Holster disliked the scene and left with a cold expression. Before leaving, he glanced back at Scarlett, a hint of disappointment flashing in his smoky gray eyes. He shook his head and chuckled.

In a voice only he could hear, he mocked himself for his change of opinion about Scarlett a few days ago.

Riley remained silent, wondering why Scarlett was doing this, until Scarlett called him and asked him to bring Sevier over.

His eyes flickered, and he understood.

Sylvia arrived quickly upon hearing that Scarlett was looking for her.

With her bright blue eyes, she showed no fear even when she saw that her destination was the torture chamber, and walked in with a smile.

Ashley was strapped to the execution chair, his face pale, his eyes bloodshot, and his downcast gaze devoid of any life.

He heard a new noise, his eyelids twitched, he looked up and saw Sevilla, and hope rekindled in his eyes.

He remembered that Sylvia had said that he hated Scarlett more than anything in his life and that he wanted to die with her.

Just as Ashley was feeling relieved that there was still someone standing by his side.

He watched as Sylvia walked toward Scarlett and said in an extremely gentle tone, "Scarlett, what did you call me here for?"

Not only was his tone gentle.

His gaze softened, becoming as sweet as honey, and as soon as it fell upon Scarlett, it exuded a delicate sweetness.

The air itself has been infected, becoming sweet.

He wanted to die.

I really want to die.

All four have changed. Will the others be far behind?
Ah.

A bunch of traitors!
Ashley lowered his head in despair.

The soldering iron was red-hot, and the stun gun was fully charged.

Scarlett hesitated between the two and finally chose the stun gun.

The stun gun, flashing blue light, was waved back and forth in front of Ashley three times.

The light was incredibly blinding, and it even faintly emitted a scorching heat; Ashley couldn't ignore it.

But he can't back down!
He stiffened his neck and glared at Scarlett, so hard that his eyes were red-rimmed, his clear black and white pupils wet, making him look both stubborn and pitiful.

Scarlett remained silent, her pale gold pupils unusually sinister, holding a stun gun, her eyes radiating malice.

Just as Ashley was straining to widen his eyes to show he wasn't afraid, Scarlett swiftly grabbed the branding iron with her other hand and shoved it in front of Ashley's face.

This time.

Ashley was completely terrified.

The scorching heat made his brow bulge as if it were about to split open.

He quickly backed away, pleadingly shouting, "No!"

At that very moment, Riley removed the silencing device, letting his shouts echo throughout the entire torture chamber.

The sound echoed in his ears.

He wanted to die even more.

How could you beg Scarlett for mercy!
He drooped his head listlessly like a wilted daylily, his mouth without a gag, yet he had no desire to speak.

I don't even have the energy to curse.

Scarlett turned around and gave Riley an approving look. "Good job. I'll reward you with living expenses later."

Riley smiled. "Thank you, Your Highness."

Chi Ye and Sevilla exchanged puzzled glances.

Do not understand.

Scarlett put down the stun gun and the branding iron, her expression gentle, like a spring or summer evening breeze, with a quiet, soothing quality: "Are you calm now? If you are, then we can talk about something else."

Ashley raised his eyes, met Scarlett's eyes, paused for a few seconds, and asked in a resigned, hoarse voice, "What do you want to say?"

It seems they've truly calmed down.

Scarlett took Sevier's arm. "Sevier, take us into the realm. I need to whisper something to Ashley."

Sevier nodded. "Okay."

A flash of blue light appeared, and in the blink of an eye, it coalesced into a square, independent space.

Only Scarlett and Ashley were in the space.

Seville did not enter.

Scarlett looked into Ashley's eyes and said, "Christine is dead."

Ashley was taken aback and instinctively wanted to retort, but before he could utter a sound, Scarlett took out a stack of documents and placed them in front of him.

After a person dies, the quantum computer will automatically deregister within three days.

Scarlett hired a private investigator on the dark web to look up information about Christine.

Christine is an ordinary citizen of Swansea City who entered the Royal City three years ago and started working at the 403 Research Institute.

Her parents died early, and she only had one younger sister, Shirley.

Three months ago, she resigned from the research institute and returned to her hometown, and then we lost contact with her.

Life and death unknown.

But Christine's personal computer was still working.

It's just encrypted.

Even the top actuaries on the dark web can't crack it.

If it were just a disappearance, Scarlett wouldn't associate it with death; she might even suspect that Duke had misunderstood the information.

But the optical computer was encrypted.

She can be sure of it.

Christine is really dead.
