(MC POV)
It took about an hour.
??
Just about an hour later before she finally cracked.
"Please… No more…" Zhiyang cried. "Enough… I'll talk… I'll talk…"
I stepped away from her, lifting the feather I had been using to tickle her away from her body.
What? You thought I was using pain as torture? Well, there's that as the alternative if this fails but..
Do you know how annoying the cleanup for that is? Not to ntion the fact that having them in a half-conscious state of pain doesn't really help their thinking process either. So unless necessary, I wouldn't really resort to it.
Therefore, tickle torture to start first.
Oh, in case you are wondering, yes, I kept Shizuri around since she's actually quite useful. I did not use the tickle torture on her since it wouldn't be as effective on an undead. So she's different.
I did however, manage to break her fixation on gutting for blood so she's at least a little bit less crazy now.
How? Oh that… Well… I suppose all I can say is that being constantly killed and revived over and over again does so weird things to people, especially when death isn't a ans of escape anymore.
Then again… Maybe it's chaining her to a pillar and sending her to a nightmare dinsion the reason for her change in character.
Or maybe giving her a little bit of my blood every now and then made her more compliant?
Or was the power draining thing I did on her draining her ntal capacity too? No, that can't be it. With how much I did that, she would've turned into a vegetable if that was the case.
Oh whatever, I don't really care about the details.
Well, at least Zhiyang's feeling cooperative now.
I gestured at the sli girl, "So, go on. I ain't got all day."
She took so ti to regain her breath before glaring at , "What do you want to know?"
"Let's start with why you're trying to kill Elder Feng and I? I an, I can understand trying to kill , but how does killing Elder Feng help?"
She chuckled, "The original target has always been you. But since Heaven Sect was going to rge with Phoenix Sect, having the forr Sect Master assassinated would create a rift between the two Sects' mbers, ensuring that they won't be united for decades to co."
"Hmmm… I could debate with you on that. But well, let's move on then. Who sent you?"
She pursed her lips shut.
I reached for the feather again.
"Wait! Wait! I… I can't say… I… I was cursed not to reveal it in any circumstances. I can't even say it if I want to… I'm telling the truth!"
Oh? Interesting. To go so far as to curse their own people just to protect themselves. Can't say that I didn't expect this.
"Hmmm… Must be one nasty employer if they didn't even trust you to complete the job. I'm just going to guess you had no choice in this matter?"
Again she kept her mouth shut.
I reached for the feather once more.
"No! No! Please! It's the sa!"
I raised my eyebrow at her, "Your employer would really keep you quiet about your own circumstances?"
"To prevent any captors from helping out of pity, of course."
"Hey, Darling… Why are you even bothering with her… Can we play yet? Hey, hey, I wanna play~~"
I shoved her away, sending her sprawling on the floor.
"Ahnnn~ I like it when you're rough~ Maybe you can send back to the play room again? Hey, hey, Darliiiiiing~~ Play with ~~"
Did I say that Shizuri's fine now? Sorry, I ant she still has quite a few screws loose sowhere in that head of hers.
By the way, the 'playroom' is actually a torture cell I had used to keep draining her back then. She's honestly worse than Diao Chan and I will admit I learnt most of what I did to Diao Chan from experinting with this crazy girl.
Also, no reason for to be kind to Shizuri either, considering our history.
"Go back to your room and maybe I will consider it later."
"Ehehehe~ Oh but I want to play now, Da-ar-liiing~ Should I just cut of this girl's head for you?"
I shuddered, sotis I wonder if the current her is even more insufferable than before. Then again, she does have her uses…
I stabbed my hand into her abdon, draining her until her body beca a dried husk before pulling it out. In my hand was a very familiar Monster Crystal that I imdiately put into my storage ring.
I could see that Shizuri had a smile on her face before she faded into dust to reform later on. I anchored her to a chain in the torture room where she will always reform there and she will need to spend ti to break out of it if she wishes to be free.
Zhiyang stared at with open mouthed shock, her mind still trying to comprehend what exactly happened.
I looked at the space where Shizuri had been before turning back to her, "Sorry, did that overturn your expectations of ?"
She nodded her head slowly.
"That's good, because now I can tell you that I am tired of your bullshit. You? Cursed? Do you really think I can't sense curses? The only reason why I haven't yet ripped that information out of you is because you'll most likely end up as a vegetable after I'm done with you and I'm giving you the chance of the alternative."
Leaning forward, I steepled my fingers in front of , "I suggest you start telling the truth, or I may resort to… Alternative thods of torture."
She gritted her teeth, "Kill then. You will get nothing out of ."
I picked up the feather, watching her flinch the mont I held it up into the air before burning it into cinders.
"So people say that I am too kind," I sighed. "And I can see why they see that way. But truthfully, the real reason is that I just can't be bothered most of the ti. Life is tiring enough for , no reason to take it any more seriously than I have to."
I leaned forward, "But if there's one thing that can make go serious… It's when my disciples are involved. If my disciples were actually hurt after your stupid stunt… You and I wouldn't be having this conversation."
She gulped, "What… What are you planning to do with ?"
I ignored her question, "I will give you one last chance to give the answer I want. Or else what happens next… Well, let's just say that even I wouldn't know how you will end up after experiencing it. You might just end up as a completely different person."
I leaned back again to give her space, stretching my arms to the sides to emphasize my point, "So… What will it be?"
She took a mont to look at , took a deep breath and said, "Do your worst."
I snorted, "Very well then."
My body glowed white and I grabbed her by the throat, the entire room darkened into blackness and stars winked into existence all around us.
This will be an interesting experience for both her and I.
