Chapter 355: Chapter 336: The Truth (Please Subscribe) Chapter 355: Chapter 336: The Truth (Please Subscribe) Lin Rui looked toward the solemnly standing prison guard at his side, “What is the meaning of this?”
“Reporting to your lordship!”
The prison guard bowed and said, “The warden Luo has ordered Yuan Chengkai to be moved to the lower Ant Pit prison cell, claiming that it was necessary to lock up this rebel for a day or two to break his spirit, before subjecting him to severe interrogation!”
Lin Rui nodded slightly upon hearing this, as it was a very typical interrogation technique.
Some prisoners start with high spirits, and at such times one must wear them down.
Once they’re drained and their spirits have faded, they are much easier to interrogate.
The Ant Pit is the lowest dungeon of the Divine Prison, inherently constituting a very cruel punishment.
It was not only eternally dark inside but also inhabited by a multitude of Heart-eating Poison Ants.
These ants of the Heavenly Extreme Star possessed a special venom in their fangs that caused excruciating pain when they bit.
The pain of being bitten by thousands of ants was said to be ten times worse than that of being dismembered!
...
The venom was also said to induce hallucinations that could lead to the prisoners’ demonic transformation.
The warden in charge was the twentieth prison warden, Luo Tianman.
Lin Rui thought to himself that this subordinate was very capable and acted to his satisfaction, deserving of further cultivation.
Yuan Chengkai, hearing this, grew even more furious: “Lin the Twelfth!

The dynasty has laws; the Great Founder enumerated seventeen tortures that must not be applied to scholars and officials, and the punishment of the Heart-eating Poison Ants is one of them.
You dare!”
Lin Rui smiled upon hearing this and looked down at Yuan Chengkai, “You probably don’t know that just two hours ago, your beloved Yue Tianqing died by my hand!”
Upon hearing this, Yuan Chengkai first let out a snort of derision, regarding it with disdain.
Yue Tianqing, a mighty seventh realm overlord, had mostly recovered from his soul injuries; how could he possibly fall so easily?
It wasn’t until he saw Lin Rui take a pair of earrings from his sleeve and toss them in front of Yuan Chengkai, “I took these from Yue Tianqing’s person, casually.
You should recognize them.
At that time she had already transformed into a demon, and her death was quite ugly.”
Yuan Chengkai’s mind went blank, and then he let out a roar of rage from his throat, pouncing toward Lin Rui like a mad dog.
His eyes were bloodshot, and the veins around his eyes bulged, “I’ll kill you!
You bastard, I’ll slaughter you!
You better not let me out; otherwise, I’ll tear you to pieces!”
The prison guards all changed color, with twenty-four of them desperately pulling on the chains to prevent Yuan Chengkai from gripping Lin Rui and bringing him down.
This guy was incredibly strong; even though he had been subdued with soul-suppressing nails, wore the Pipa Bone to bind him, and had his Golden Core sealed, his physical strength was still unbelievably immense.
All twenty-four prison guards were nearly unable to hold him back as Yuan Chengkai pulled them all over the place.
Ji Xueying saw this and frowned deeply.
Her figure flashed to the front, grabbing one of the chains and pulling hard, instantly rendering Yuan Chengkai unable to move.
“Get out?
I’m afraid that’s going to be difficult.”
How could he make another mistake?
Seeing this, Lin Rui didn’t bother to press further and directly left the Divine Envoy’s Office with the Blood Blade, Ji Xueying.
This man was clearly a die-hard, with an unusual willpower.
Lin Rui guessed that he wouldn’t be able to get anything more out of him.
This man was also a high-level practitioner of Eighth Realm martial arts, with powerful Soul Power, capable of separating from his physical body.
Therefore, his self-made truth serum had no effect, and it was better to leave him to the interrogation experts of the Divine Envoy’s Office.
It was at this moment that Zhou Yunfei sent him a message.
Zhou Yunfei: Lin Rui, I’ve tried all sorts of ways to inquire around and I can almost confirm that the smuggling research base you exposed today doesn’t belong to any governmental agency, and it probably doesn’t belong to any major company or private research institution either.
Lin Rui was slightly taken aback after reading the message.
Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): Impossible?
Such a large smuggling research base can’t be operated by just anyone.
Could they not be claiming it because it involves illegal human experiments and they fear repercussions?
Zhou Yunfei: That’s highly possible, but I’m more inclined to believe it’s the work of an anti-government force like the ‘Longevity Society’.
You should investigate thoroughly.
Zhou Yunfei: Legally speaking, the problem isn’t too big.
The Earth Federation not only strictly prohibits illegal human experimentation but also forbids military trade with the Infernal World.
The Light of Inferno is terrifying.
If leaked on a large scale, not only would the people of Tianji Star suffer, but it would also be a huge hassle for us.
Zhou Yunfei: Right now, be careful about your personal safety.
You’ve really stepped on their toes, and the amount of Sixth and Seventh Realm Martial Cultivators lost is substantial.
It’s highly likely they’ll seek revenge on you.
Xue Lingxue’s 5S Squad might not be able to withstand it.
I’ll see if I can arrange one or two more experts to aid you.
Zhou Yunfei had just sent this message when he saw a ‘self-destruct after reading’ video from Lin Rui.

Zhou Yunfei: ??
Lin Rui, what’s this video you sent?
Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): It’s the case file about the Heavenly Demon case at our Division Nine.
I’ve managed to get my hands on the file from the archives library.
Do you want to take a look, director?
Zhou Yunfei’s expression became solemn in an instant.
Of course, he wanted to see it, very much so.
Who was that traitorous devil who betrayed his subordinates and left them to die?
