"Don't get me wrong. I'm not questioning your professionalism. As a professional killer, someone who has sworn to break taboos and escape from vulgarity, torture and punishment are no threat to you at all."

"And torture you with mind magic, pry open your brain and stuff,"

Lynn spread his hands.

"Come on, you are a user of psychic magic. After I tricked you the first time, even if you take the initiative to open your mind to me, I won't believe what's in your mind."

Lynn gently turned the furry tip of the cat toy in his palm, moving it up and down, and swaying it gently. Theresa, who was watching this scene, couldn't help but have her pupils sway along with the cat toy, and finally swallowed silently.

"But there are some things that can't be endured by just training and willpower."

"You are not afraid of torture, and your inner barriers are indestructible. I can't think of any common interests that can make you submit..."

The cat toy was suddenly raised high and pointed at Theresa's nose. The girl raised her head and looked at Lin En, only to find that the other person had his signature bad smile on his face.

He suddenly grabbed the girl's round ankles, leaned forward, leaned close to Theresa's ear, and blew softly:

"So, are you ticklish?"

This bastard!!!

Theresa finally settled down in Bengbu. This guy had predicted everything!

When Lin En locked herself up in a room alone, Theresa was using psychic magic all the time to strengthen her mental barriers, for fear that Lin En would try to dig something out of her mind by force.

She was not afraid of torture at all.

But who could have thought that this guy wouldn't play by the rules!

Seeing the furry, slippery, soft, pink cat toy gradually approaching the soles of her feet, Theresa kept trying to pull her legs out of Lynn's hands, her round toes tensed and straightened, but she was completely unable to break free.

Finally, the tip of the cat toy overcame all obstacles and gently swept across Theresa's feet.

"Well!"

Theresa shuddered as an electric shock rushed from the soles of her feet to her spine. However, she still stared at Lin En coldly, her eyes full of disdain.

"It's short and small, but it's also a punishment. There's nothing more..."

"is it?"

After taking a look at the rejection value that popped up next to it, Lin En was also very surprised.

"What a coincidence. I thought so too."

Then, in Theresa's horrified eyes, Lynn took out a combing brush of the same style with a pink handle from the space ring on his finger.

Looking at those dense, soft brush teeth that were much longer than a cat toy and swaying gently under Lin En's deliberate shaking, Theresa swallowed her saliva and then showed an even more disdainful expression:

"That's it?"

We must not lose momentum at this time!

According to my own experience, torture not only consumes the patience of the tortured, but also the patience of the torturer!

As long as he could hold it in for more than half an hour, no, maybe just fifteen minutes, this evil prince would definitely use other methods of punishment.

At that time, you will still win!

........

Five minutes later, looking at Theresa, who was twitching all over, with an alluring blush on her delicate face, and lying on the bed in an extremely indescribable posture, Lynn began to look at her with a new respect.

Although Miss Theresa's soles and body are soft, her mouth is really hard.

She has tortured herself into this state. The upgrade progress bar of the second-ring arcanist has increased by one third, but she shows no signs of giving in.

"Well, Miss Theresa, you are stronger than I thought. I thought those lunatics in the Magic Bell Tower were our common enemies. I didn't expect that you hated me so much that you were willing to protect them. Maybe I was too harsh on you."

Hearing this question, Theresa, who had been dazed, suddenly regained her clarity and stared at Lin En:

"You tortured me in order to get information about the Demon Bell Tower from me?"

"Isn't it obvious?"

Lin En didn't understand why the other party was so angry, and pointed at the flowers on the windowsill that were withered by the withering arcane.

"You can't possibly break free from the shackles I set by yourself. Besides, my room is a mess, and that's not something that can be done with the psychic magic."

However, Lynn's explanation did not calm Theresa's anger at all. She stared at Lynn even harder, making the latter suspect that if she untied him now, she would pounce on him and bite him without hesitation.

"and you......."

Theresa's voice was low, as if she was trying hard to suppress some emotion.

"Ask!"

The room suddenly fell into silence, and the man and the woman looked at each other.

Lin En looked at the rejection experience bar on the side, then glanced at the cat toy and brush in his hand.

"Didn't I ask?"

During the confrontation with Theresa, Lynn looked away for the first time feeling guilty.

........

"So, the person who contacted you is Lumbia Shafrin, and he might be one of the Twelve Rings, a disciple of the Ring of Withering, or at least someone who has some relationship with him."

After Theresa told her story with hatred, Lynn stroked his chin and fell into deep thought.

This makes sense, the Dimensional Wind Prison is an eighth-ring arcane spell, and Master Gust paid a huge price to release it, but it could be torn apart by a mere six-ring guy. Even if it closes quickly, it is not normal.

But if the other party is related to the Ring of Withering, one of the twelve rings, then it would be very reasonable.

It seems that Latina is only the apparent leader of this plan, and the people inside the Magic Bell Tower are not as united and cohesive as he imagined.

But think about it, it is true. After all, it is an organization that claims to be jointly pursuing the root of the taboo, but each arcanist's understanding of the root is different. Not to mention some small actions in secret, there are also many who act stupidly in public.

For example, people of the School of Fertility believe that the Root is eternal life, while people of the School of Withering believe that the Root is the moment of the end of all things. These two schools laugh and joke openly, but secretly call each other's school's highest ring a "pseudo-ring" and fight whenever they meet.

And this fellow from Shafulin calls himself the Apostle of Withering, so his status in the Withering Sect should be quite high.

"Wait, you just said that this guy named Shafulin was the one who got you into the academy through his path. Does that mean he is the only one who knows about your existence now?"

Lynn turned to Theresa and asked.

The girl was stunned for a moment, then nodded reluctantly.

After receiving the other party's affirmative answer, Lin En no longer hesitated, and directly took out a precious communication crystal and crushed it.

Soon, Quinn's lazy voice sounded from the room:

"Hey, my dear brother, do you miss me so soon?"

"Of course, Sister Quinn, we've been separated for a while. Where are you now?"

Lynn asked.

"Well, this topic cannot be touched upon, but since you are the hero who destroyed the conspiracy of the Magic Clock Tower, it is not impossible for me to tell you. I am in the secret prison of the Shadow Knight now. Do you want to come in and take a look~"

Is he going to send me to Shadow Knight's prison?

Theresa's face turned pale. She was not afraid of being sent to prison because there were people from the Magic Bell Tower above her.

If she were to be sent in now, those people above her might become her cellmates...

However, Lynn didn't even look at Theresa.

"I want to know if there is a man called Lumbia Shafrin among these new prisoners. I am somewhat interested in him."

"Haha, it seems you are very quick."

There was a hint of amusement in Quinn's voice.

"Why, are you interested in him?"

However, Lynn interrupted Quinn's words, with the corners of his lips raised:

"No, I have no interest in him. It's just that these new criminals are all tough guys. And because they were in high positions in the past and are quite powerful, some interrogation methods may not be effective."

"Therefore, as a concerned citizen, I just want to give a suggestion to the hard-working Shadow Knights."

"Oh, can you tell me more about it?"

Quinn had become interested in what Lynn was saying.

In fact, Lin En's guess was correct. The interrogation of those old guys had indeed reached a bottleneck. In order to prevent these prisoners who once mastered high-level arcane magic from escaping, they had to be equipped with forbidden magic stones all over their bodies and have strong mental power, which made the interrogation method of mental arcane almost ineffective.

As for corporal punishment, the Shadow Knights just randomly picked up a unlucky guy and cut off a finger. That wimp had been screaming, fainting and waking up several times. Quinn even suspected that it was not the guy's finger that was chopped off, but his dick.

But these guys were cowardly and refused to tell anyone useful information, so the Shadow Knights were helpless for the time being, fearing that they would use excessive torture and kill these fragile arcanists directly.

"Oh, so, my dear sister, your brother is here to help you solve your problems."

Lynn laughed.

"I see. You want to personally preside over the interrogation of this Shafulin?"

Quinn's lazy voice immediately became cheerful:

"As expected of you, my dear brother. The expressions of those guys will be very interesting when they see you again. I will go and prepare the photo stone now. When do you plan to..."

However, Lynn rejected Quinn again:

"Neither, my dear sister. I've already said that I'm here to offer advice. I have no interest in the prisoners of the empire. Moreover, it would be difficult for even you to let an unrelated person enter the secret cell of the Shadow Knight, right?"

Quinn smacked his lips in boredom:

"Then what do you mean?"

"I want you to just cut that guy down."

Lin En sneered and continued to describe to Quinn:

"Just think about it, my dear sister, those old scoundrels all think they once held high positions, so even after becoming prisoners, they still haven't changed their mindsets. How despicable it is."

"When they thought that the Shadow Knights could only cause minor trouble and dared not do anything to them, someone suddenly stood up and told them with actions that these traitors and parasites of the empire are now worthless and even their lives are not guaranteed. What kind of changes will happen to their mentality? Aren't you looking forward to it?"

"When the time comes, I'm afraid that their mouths, which they were reluctant to open even when you begged them, will be as smooth as champagne!"

Silence suddenly fell.

After a while, a burst of exaggerated laughter suddenly broke out from the communication channel. Lin En could almost see the girl laughing so hard that she fell backwards.

Then, the laughter subsided:

"As expected of your brother Lin, but I have to tell you that although Shadow Knight Prison sometimes does some outrageous things, we still guarantee the safety of the prisoners."

Just when Lin En thought she was going to refuse, Quinn changed the subject:

"However, tomorrow that guy named Shafulin will probably die accidentally due to some accident. After all, this is the suggestion of my dear brother."

"Thanks, Sister Quinn. I owe you a favor this time."

Lynn crushed the arcane communication ball of light and ended the brief conversation.

Then, he looked at Theresa beside him with a proud look, wanting to appreciate her reaction.

After all, the only person besides him who knew Theresa was here had been dealt with by him in just a few words.

Now, the heroine has lost all possibility of contact with the outside world and is firmly in his hands. How can she not be angry?

However, in order to prevent Theresa from getting too angry with herself, the next step is to control the temperature.

And Theresa was just as Lynn had expected, standing there in a daze.

However, it was not out of anger, but more of confusion.

Shafulin, who was deceived by me and helped me escape, but was betrayed by me, undoubtedly hated me the most and wanted to kill me as soon as possible.

Once he gets the chance to contact the outside world, the news of his betrayal of the Magic Bell Tower will spread quickly, and he will completely break off relations with that organization and face endless pursuit.

But just now, the guy in front of him was willing to do him a favor and help him get rid of Shafulin.

Why is that?

Just when Theresa hadn't figured out this question, Lynn snapped her fingers, bringing her back to her senses.

"Well, Miss Theresa, the punishment is over. Now it's time for the reward."

Lynn chuckled.

"Reward time?"
