Chapter 511

Soon, the two arrived outside the interrogation room.

"Watch first," Adam waved his hand.

The pitch-black wall instantly became transparent, revealing the scene inside.

A tense, oppressive atmosphere permeated the interrogation room, iron chains hanging on the wall swayed gently in a faint breeze, letting out clanking sounds that added to the tension.

Corin was firmly bound to a chair on the interrogation platform by two thick iron chains, his injuries were grievous, too gruesome to look at, his clothes had long been dyed red with blood, and his wounds were still seeping, staining the chains a shocking crimson.

His face was pale as paper, his lips cracked, his eyes tightly shut, as if he had fallen into a deep coma, but even in such a state, he still wore an evil smile.

Bruce swallowed hard as he watched.

Bro, you’re not going to sell me out, are you?

On one side of the platform, an interrogator dressed in a black robe sat quietly, his face was stern, his eyes sharp as a falcon’s, as if capable of piercing straight through a person’s heart.

He was Heaven-Sealing Pass’s most ruthless interrogator, Kieran.

That’s right, not the most excellent or outstanding, but the most ruthless.

Holding a branding iron, he gently tapped it against the chains before him, as if waiting for something.

"You... Ah!" The moment Corin opened his mouth, the branding iron was pressed against one of his bloody wounds.

Corin let out a bloodcurdling scream, his entire body convulsing violently, he opened his eyes, which were filled with terror and pain, and glared at Kieran with absolute resentment.

Kieran remained expressionless, he raised the branding iron again, aiming at another wound, "I’ll ask you one more time, who exactly are you? Why are you spreading information about the Evil God within Heaven-Sealing Pass?"

Corin gritted his teeth, "I... I’m just an ordinary prisoner, I don’t know what you’re talking about."

Kieran sneered, the branding iron fell once again, and Corin let out another miserable scream.

Standing outside and watching this scene, Bruce couldn’t help but shudder.

However, it seemed Corin had not sold him out yet.

Thinking about it, it made sense, Corin was the Evil God’s man, in his eyes, even though they had conflicts, they were technically on the same side, he had been caught, and according to the Evil God’s arrangements, it was impossible for him to rat out the others.

...

Just as Bruce’s heart settled slightly, the situation inside changed again.

Kieran seemed angered by Corin’s act of innocence, he stood up and walked over to Corin, his gaze like a knife, "Do you think I have no way of making you talk if you stay silent?" His voice was cold and cruel, "I have plenty of methods to make you open your mouth."

He pulled a black pill from his robes and forcefully stuffed it into Corin’s mouth.

Corin struggled to resist, but with his hands firmly bound, he was helpless, he could only let the pill slide down his throat.

The pill melted instantly, and a look of sheer agony appeared on Corin’s face, his body began to tremble violently, as if something were rampaging inside him, his eyes became bloodshot, pupils dilated abnormally, eyeballs bulging outward.

"Ah!" He erupted into a howl of agony.

"This is the Heart-Devouring Pill, I developed it myself, the one who consumes it experiences pain akin to falling into the eighteenth level of hell," Adam’s indifferent voice rang out.

"Master’s pills are naturally unparalleled in this world," Bruce squeezed out a smile, feeling as though his Master was subtly hinting at something directed at him.

"Ahhh!" Corin’s screams trembled continuously, he began foaming at the mouth, experiencing immense agony.

Standing outside and listening to those heart-wrenching screams, Bruce couldn’t help but feel a chill rise in his heart, he knew the potency of this Heart-Devouring Pill, it was personally developed by his Master, its power was no trivial matter.

Corin’s agonizing screams echoed down the corridor, Bruce clenched his fists, his heart filled with complex emotions, he was worried Corin couldn’t bear the pain and might spill things he shouldn’t, and terrified that he himself would be implicated.

He looked up at Adam, only to see his Master’s face held no expression whatsoever, as if all of this was well within his expectations.

Bruce felt even more apprehensive, he didn’t know what his Master would do next, nor how he should respond.

"How are the effects of this Heart-Devouring Pill?" Adam suddenly asked.

Bruce froze, then replied, "Master’s pills are naturally peerless in this world, the potency of this Heart-Devouring Pill is evident."

He tried to make his voice sound steady, but his heart was filled with unease.

"Then do you think Corin can withstand it?" Adam asked again.

Bruce was silent for a moment, "I don’t know, although Corin used to be one of us, he is ultimately the Evil God’s man, I don’t know if he is willing to endure such agony just to keep his secrets."

Adam nodded and said nothing more, he continued watching the interrogation room, seemingly pondering something.

After a while, the room finally returned to silence, Corin had passed out, his face was pale as paper, looking as if he had just taken a trip through hell.

Kieran walked out and reported the situation to Adam.

Hearing the report, Adam nodded, then turned to Bruce, "Come with me."

Bruce’s heart tightened, not knowing where his Master was taking him, he could only follow closely behind, feeling extremely anxious.

The two arrived inside a secret chamber, Adam closed the door, then turned to look at Bruce.

"Do you know why I brought you here?" Adam asked.

Bruce shook his head, not daring to meet Adam’s eyes.

"I already know everything you did in the Central District," Adam said slowly, "You trespassed without authorization and even came into contact with someone from the Evil God, these actions all violate our rules."

Bruce felt as if his heart had exploded, he even forgot to breathe, the blood in his veins seemed to turn several degrees colder.

He knew he had nowhere left to run, he could only lower his head, "I await Master’s punishment."

However, to his surprise, Adam did not punish him immediately, on the contrary, he spoke to Bruce with earnest sincerity, "I know the reason you did this is because you have doubts in your heart and wanted to seek answers."
