"There's nothing to feel guilty about. It's like when you cut your hair and nails, do you feel guilty about them? Right? You don't feel guilty, do you? The same goes for me getting rid of Magae. Magae is part of our Teruya Ryuque organization. When she becomes redundant, it's only natural to get rid of her."
Tetodav became more and more excited as he spoke. After deciding to carry out "that plan" ahead of schedule, he no longer considered his body as his own. In addition, the effect of the paralyzing potion greatly reduced his pain, making him not take Shiiki Ruri's torture seriously at all.
Tetodav at this moment was completely different from the Tetodav who couldn't help but scream out "phantom pain" just now.
"That's enough, shut up. A cold-blooded person like you is not qualified to judge Master Magai, nor is he qualified to be the head master of Zhaoye Liuque."
"Haha, besides me, who else is more qualified? I'm a man who would sacrifice his life for the organization! Who else could dedicate themselves to the organization like I do?!"
Tetodav suddenly started yelling hysterically, as if he had been hurt by Shiiki Ruri's words.
After hearing the words "You're willing to sacrifice your life for the organization," Shiiki Ruri felt a little strange. She was worried that this would affect her revenge on Tetodaf, so she asked, "Lifespan? What do you mean? Aren't you still alive and well?"
"Haha..." Tetodaf sneered, then said, "Since I'm about to die, I'll tell you something... My sixth-level strength wasn't achieved through my own hard work, but rather maintained by the 'secret medicine provided by the Dark Rabbit Clan.' If I don't take that secret medicine for even a day, I'll quickly die of exhaustion."
Tetodav said this with lifeless eyes and a very sad look on his face.
At this moment, he successfully acted like a "leader who devotes everything to the organization", but in fact, he was just using words to induce Shiiki Ruri to focus on the concept of "secret medicine".
As long as Tetodav guessed Shiiki Ruri's thoughts correctly, he would be very close to turning defeat into victory!
"Shameless wretch, you actually deceived everyone! Your actions are not dedication at all, you are just self-satisfaction!"
Shiiki Ruri twisted the spear repeatedly, trying to make Tetodaf feel pain, but the paralyzing potion injected before had the opposite effect at this time, and Tetodaf didn't feel anything at all.
"Whatever you say, I'm going to die soon anyway. Before I die, if you can tell me how you discovered the truth, I will be grateful to you, Xiao Liuli."
"Shut up, you have no right to call me that!"
Shiiki Ruri slapped Tetodav hard, but that was not enough to vent her anger, so she slapped him three more times, knocking out two of Tetodav's teeth.
Then, she turned around and walked to the table, seemingly looking for something. After a while, she came back carrying a storage belt filled with test tube bottles of medicine.
"Answer me, which bottle of the 'secret medicine' you just mentioned?" Shiiki Ruriji asked sternly.
"Give up on this idea. I know you want to help me stay alive and continue to torture me, right? I won't tell you."
After saying this, Tetodav turned his head away, shut his mouth, and looked as if he was determined to die.
At this moment, Shiiki Ruri suddenly laughed contemptuously. She asked Tetodaf, "Weren't you fighting for your life just now? Why are you giving up your chance to live so easily now?"
Tetodav realized that Shiiki Ruri was worried that he was cheating, so he took advantage of her question and played the last emotional card.
"I do want to live, but you've turned me into a cripple. Even if I live, I'm useless to the organization... Besides, the organization's structure has already been optimized. Even if I'm gone, they'll select and produce the next outstanding chief hall master. So, let me die. Dying at your hands is retribution for my killing of Magae."
After saying this, Tetodav closed his eyes and stopped talking.
He knew that Shiiki Ruri, unaware of the truth, would soon take the initiative to pour the "essence" of the "secret medicine - Linkanasen" into his mouth.
By then, Shiiki Ruri's body would be his.
9.280 - Disillusionment
Not long ago, after waking up for a while, Tetodaf discovered that all his equipment and medicine props were gone.
Since the person who tied her up here was Shiiki Ruri, the person who looted her things was naturally her.
Tetodav was cautious by nature. To prepare for any eventuality, he carried the "secret medicine" of "Linkanasen" with him every day, and also kept a backup in every base he hid.
Now that everything on him has been taken away, the secret medicine must be in Shiiki Ruri's hands.
It was because of this that Tetodaf decided to confess that he was the one who killed Magae.
In addition to the reasons mentioned above, there was another detail that led to Tetodav's act of "cutting off his own life".
Through conversation and observation, Tetodaf discovered that Shiiki Ruri probably only knew that she had killed Magae, but was unaware of the more important "Secret Medicine Linkansen" project.
For Tetodav now, as long as he can find a way to drink the secret medicine, he can immediately take over Shiiki Ruri's body and turn the situation around.
This risky decision was not only a risky move, but also the only way for Tetodav to survive in his current situation.
At this moment, Tetodav had said everything he needed to say. He firmly believed that as long as he continued to pretend to be indifferent to life and death, Shiiki Ruri would obediently pour the "essence" of the "secret medicine - Linkanasen" into his mouth - with the hatred in this girl's heart, she would definitely not be willing to let Tetodav die so easily.
"Don't think you can get what you want without telling me. Even if you don't tell me, I still have a way...!"
Shiiki Ruri seemed to be competing with Tetoduff. She put the test tube bottles of medicine on the table next to her, and then started pouring them into Tetoduff's mouth one by one.
Her strategy was simple and crude. No matter what was in those potion bottles, one of them must be the secret medicine that Tetodaf mentioned.
As long as Tetodav drinks the secret medicine, Shiiki Ruri can extend his life and give him more time to torture him.
As for Tetodaf, since his body was still in a paralyzed state, he was completely unable to "resist" Shiiki Ruri's control over his body.
Under Shiiki Ruri's violent coercion, Tetodaf, with his mouth pried open, had no choice but to drink bottle after bottle of potion...
——(It really helped a lot. This paralyzed state not only saved me from pain, but also saved me the trouble of acting… Poor little Liuli, you’re about to say goodbye to your body, hehehe…)
Although Tetodav looked miserable, he was actually very happy.
Shiiki Ruri confiscated a total of seven bottles of potions from Tetodaf. In addition to a bottle of secret medicine, there were also weakening potions, poisonous potions, hypnotic potions, etc.
Tetodav did not feel good after being forced to drink the other potions, but when he thought that he would be able to drink the secret medicine soon, he could drink it fearlessly even if it was a poison that could kill him within half an hour.
—(Take the purple-black bottle, idiot…! There are only seven bottles of potion in total. You wouldn’t let me drink the secret medicine with the last one, would you?)
Seeing that Shiiki Ruri always missed the secret medicine, Tetodaf was really angry.
However, in order to avoid being discovered by Shiiki Ruri, he had to continue to look ready to die and continue to resist with his soft and weak body.
As bottle after bottle of potion was poured into Tetodav's body, the amount of potion left on the table became less and less.
Every time Tetodav drank a bottle of potion, he would curse his terrible bad luck, but at the same time, he was also becoming more and more excited, because this "lottery" had a guaranteed minimum. No matter how bad his luck was, as long as he drank seven bottles of potion at most, he would be able to turn defeat into victory!
·
Time passed by minute by minute, and the number of medicines on the table decreased with each drink.
After experiencing the bad luck of "taking the wrong" bottles for six consecutive times, Tetodaf finally waited until the moment when only the last bottle of potion was left!
Looking at the bottle of purple-black potion filled with the "secret medicine", Tetodaf could hardly suppress his urge to cheer!
"This is the last bottle, Tetoduff, don't think you can die easily!"
Shiiki Ruri walked towards Tetoduff with a crutch in one hand and a test tube bottle of medicine in the other.
With every step she took, her crutch made a "dong dong" sound on the ground, and to Tetoduff, the sound seemed to be celebrating his impending victory!
——(Goodbye, Xiao Liuli, I'm so sorry that I can't say goodbye to you formally. After all, if I say goodbye... my plan will be exposed hahahaha!)
The smile on Tetodaf's face was harder to suppress than something in the early morning. As for the fact that he would lose something after his "reincarnation" was successful, Tetodaf didn't care much. After all, as long as he could reincarnate successfully once, he could reincarnate successfully countless times.
In his opinion, the concept of male and female gender is no longer of much importance.
However, just as Tetoduff's excitement was about to reach its climax, something unbelievable happened.
"Oops, my hand slipped~"
Shiiki Ruri inexplicably uttered a very artificial remark, and then the purple-black potion bottle in her hand slipped out of control, drew a free-fall arc in the air, and then shattered onto the ground with a "bang".
As the potion bottle shattered, the potion in the bottle all flowed onto the ground, becoming a distant thing that Tetodav could never reach.
Looking at the pool of secret medicine on the ground and the broken potion bottle, Tetodaf was petrified.
This "unexpected" event, which was totally beyond his expectations, completely extinguished his last hope and destroyed his last sanity.
--(No……)
--(No……!)
--(No--!!!!)
Under extreme frustration, Tetodav's violent emotions made his blood rush all over his body, and his whole body looked red.
It was not known whether the effect of the paralyzing potion had worn off or whether Tetodaff's rage had pushed his body beyond its limit, but with a hysterical roar, Tetodaff broke free from the ropes that bound him and fell to the ground!
However, no matter how angry a person is, it is impossible for severed tendons in the hands and feet to grow back instantly. After falling to the ground, Tetodav's limbs were still out of control, but he was already in a state of madness and didn't care about that. He simply arched his back and used his mouth and chin to help himself wriggle forward like a tapeworm!
At this moment, the only thing that existed in Tetodav's eyes was the secret medicine on the ground!
Even if he had to lick the floor with his tongue, he would drink all the secret medicine into his stomach without leaving a drop!
However, before Tetodav could get close to the secret medicine on the ground, a foot ruthlessly stepped on his head, preventing him from moving even a centimeter.
"Ugly, so ugly, meow... It's really not worth it for Master Magee to be killed by someone like you."
Shiiki Ruri looked down at Tetodaf with cold eyes. It was obvious that the "slip of her hand" scene just now was deliberately performed for Tetodaf to see.
9.281 - The truth of dead silence
The truth has been revealed, but Shiiki Ruri is not angry, but feels happy instead.
Until Tetodav revealed his evil deeds, Shiiki Ruri was secretly worried that if he had wrongly accused a good person... then the assassination attempt that had already been carried out would be irreversible.
Fortunately, her worries were unnecessary. Whether it was the letter left by Master Magai or the information found later in the base under the lake, these were all objective evidence, and it was not someone else who was planning to use Shiiki Ruri.
Now that the only concern has been cleared, Shiiki Ruri can finally say with a clear conscience that everything she did was to avenge Master Magai.
·
During the entire interrogation process, in order to make Tetodav reveal all his crimes, Shiiki Ruri's words and actions until Tetodav went crazy were all performances and inducements.
As early as when she found the bottle of potion suspected to be the "Secret Medicine Linkanasen" on Tetodaf, Shiiki Ruri had actually already decided to let Tetodaf reveal his ugly face himself.
"What's wrong, Master Chief? Didn't you just say you didn't want to live? Why are you craving medicine like crazy now?"
Shiiki Ruri stepped on Tetodaf's head back and forth, asking him questions even though he knew the answer, forcing him to tell the truth himself.
But at this time, Tetodav was basically in a state of insanity, and he could not hear what Shiiki Ruri was saying at all.
In Tetodav's eyes, only the secret medicine that was desirable but unattainable was constantly "waving" to him.
An incoherent roar came out of Tetodav's mouth. He tried every way to twist and struggle his body, and even "successfully" broke free from Shiiki Ruri's feet.
However, when he struggled to crawl to the place where the medicine bottle was broken, the secret medicine that had flowed onto the ground had already seeped under the floor tiles, leaving not even a drop for Tetodav.
“Ah ...
Tetodav roared in despair. He didn't care whether there was any secret medicine left on the floor tiles or the large amount of sharp glass fragments on the ground. He just started to lick the ground regardless of everything. He didn't care even if his tongue was pierced and bleeding.
Looking at such a crazy Tetodaf, Shiiki Ruri sighed deeply. How could such a mentally deranged person be the chief hall master of Teruya Ryuque, not to mention that this guy's body has become a cripple now.
"Give up, Tetoduff. I've already replaced the potion in that bottle with ordinary water. Do you really think I would present such a dangerous 'Secret Medicine Linkansen' to you?"
Shiiki Ruri really didn't want to watch this disgusting scene continue, so she just told the truth.
What's "interesting" is that after hearing what Shiiki Ruri said, Tetodaf, who had ignored everything just now, became frozen as if suspended, and lay there motionless for a long time, which made Shiiki Ruri think that this guy had died suddenly.
It was not until Shiiki Ruri went around to the front to take a look that she discovered that Tetodav was not dead. It was just that the blow he suffered was too great, causing problems with the functioning of his brain and body, which caused him to freeze in place and not move.
In Shiiki Ruri's original plan, Tetodaf should have blurted out and asked her how she knew about the secret medicine, but seeing that Tetodaf was in a state that was no different from dead, it didn't matter whether she said it or not.
——(Auntie Magee, I'm sorry it took so long to avenge you.)
Shiiki Ruri didn't waste any more words. After retreating a distance, he aimed at Tetodaf's body and used the skill "White Wind Phantom Weasel".
The magic sickle-tails spinning at high speed cut Tetodaf into pieces like a meat grinder. When the last magic sickle-tail disappeared in the air, the identity of the deceased could no longer be identified by the pieces of meat and crumbs on the ground.
At this point, Shiiki Ruri finally completed the assassination. Feeling relieved, she could no longer stand and could only sit on the nearest table to rest.
The insects hiding in the dark corners of the room "smelled" the scent of flesh and blood, and crawled out from the nooks and crannies, scrambling to feast on the pieces of meat on the ground.
Looking at these tiny insects, Shiiki Ruri felt sad that even a figure like Tetodaf could not escape the fate of becoming food for insects after death.
Now, after assassinating Tetodav, how can Shiiki Ruri escape from the heavily guarded base under the lake when her legs are unable to move?
——(No one can win in the end. Someone will always come to reap their lives... Aunt Magee, I think I understand what you always said before, meow...)
·
Perhaps because she had become indifferent to life and death, Shiiki Ruri left the warehouse without resting for too long.
She knew very well that the injury on her ankle would not heal on its own over time. Only by going to a church with clergy could she recover with the help of divine power.
Since the result would be the same no matter sooner or later, it would be better to go out and face it sooner rather than later. With this thought and awareness in mind, Shiiki Ruri supported herself with her crutches and began walking towards the inner courtyard square closest to the corridor.
Shiiki Ruri felt that as long as she went to the inner courtyard square where the most people were, she would be able to understand why this base under the lake suddenly became so silent.
·
——(Was there an enemy attack?)
——(Or is it a seawater leak?)
——(Could it be... that the branch masters, Dark Moon, and Whisper, are fighting? That werewolf uncle and the ratman grandfather always seem to be at odds...)
