Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 47 47. Consolidation of cases

 Lan didn’t even ask a single question in the first five minutes of the interrogation.

He just started, using the three-edged nails on the outside of the gloves to press deeply into Willis's skin, and then slowly, slowly pulled.

Different from the sudden and swift punch before, the pain of his skin being slowly torn off by steel and power could be completely felt by Willis's body.

 For a person who has just lost the feeling of his lower body and whose sense of security has plummeted, this kind of slow pain can drive people crazy!

 “Ah!! Ah!!”

The screams sounded like they were tearing his vocal cords apart.

"Ask! Just ask! I will answer whatever you ask, as long as you kill me afterwards! Ask quickly! Ask quickly!"

 Willis' fingers scratched furiously on Lan En's steel wristband, and his nails turned over, leaving **** finger marks.

  But whether it is in terms of the quality of the armor of the Higher Bear School, or in terms of Lan En's own arm strength.

Willis’s struggles seemed inconsequential.

Lan ignored his call and continued to do it. He didn't stop until the five-minute alarm set by Mentos rang.

By this time Willis was frightened.

 He knew rationally that his information was needed, otherwise there would be no need for torture.

However, Lan En's behavior of asking me to come for five minutes first regardless of whether he could bear it or not revealed an attitude that seemed to not care about his life at all, allowing his sensibility to overwhelm his reason.

 Willis knew he was going to die, and he knew it the moment his lumbar spine was broken, but he didn't want to taste more pain before death, not at all.

Lann's blood-stained face looked at the torturer calmly, but Willis felt his whole body getting cold under this calmness.

“First question, are you here for me?”

The witcher slightly loosened his fist on Willis.

“No! No! I don’t even know who you are! We thought we just saw two lone guys on the road and thought”

coincide? In other words, the possibility of seeking revenge disappears.

 But at the same time, this represents another possibility coming true.

 The words were accompanied by roars of pain.

“Ah, I understand. It’s not easy for cannibals. It’s normal to want to save some food, right?”

Lan didn’t seem to care at all about what Willis said later that he felt he couldn’t say.

“Second question, were you the ones who abducted children on a large scale in Willen?”

"Yes, it's us. Although the child tastes better, we also need money. After we came to Willen, someone offered a good price to buy the child."

Lan looked at Willis and nodded without any hesitation.

Even cannibals are unlikely to escape social life.

 Salt, iron, cloth, wood, livestock. Cannibals cannot do without these.

 And if you want to be self-sufficient in these things, the manpower required is enough to form a small society.

 But as long as you participate in social economic activities - that is, spend money, these things are materials that can be easily obtained as long as you have money.

 In this regard, the two major cases with the most devastating impact in Willen today, the cannibal sect and the mass disappearance of children, can be identified as the same gang.

 But Lan En's expression did not show the joy of solving the case.

 He is not a detective and has no interest in solving crimes.

The merging of the two cases, for him, just added an extra layer of determination to a situation that was already going to be bloody.

No matter what other disgusting crimes they committed, the moment they shot Bernie and kidnapped White, human life was the price that Lan En would definitely demand from them.

“Now that the motivation is clear, let’s talk about what’s really important. Just one question.”

The five fingers of the studded leather gloves were spread apart and covered with Willis's Heavenly Spirit Cap.

The muscles on his fingers swelled inch by inch, and veins popped out. Lan En's originally calm face seemed to be twitching with anger that finally couldn't be concealed.

 Willis’s upper body was held by his skull and pulled slightly off the ground. In Willis's expression of extreme panic and resistance, those cat eyes were close to the other person's eyes.

 “Tell me, where will you take the children?”

Willis, who originally knew everything, hesitated slightly at this time.

 Lan captured this point keenly.

"Ah, it's not simple as expected. You hesitated. It seems that the place where those children are detained is very important to you. Is it still your base camp? It makes sense, after all, it is important 'goods'. And the place of detention and transportation points will not be too Far away, because the 'goods' are very conspicuous, and you can only transport them by water in Willen. Your base camp is on the sea in the west of Willen?"

Mentos quickly proposed possibilities, while Lan En's consciousness made screening judgments simultaneously.

 In this cold anger, the Witcher's brain cells were operating so efficiently that he was a little surprised.

Willis's eyes suddenly wandered in panic.

From this Lan En knew that he had guessed correctly.

Hence, extremely abrupt.

 The "bang" punch hit Willis' side of the face again.

His pupils began to lose focus in an instant. This extremely sudden punch completely blinded him from both physical and psychological aspects.

 While hitting the person with his right fist, Lan En's left hand changed gestures simultaneously.

　　A blur of cold white magic light was aimed at Willis's head.

  The Seal of Yaksi.

Willis's head was dangling on his neck like a drunken drunk, and he was delirious.

 “Tell me where you are, Willis.”

Lan En said the words without any ripples, like a hypnotic setting.

"Weilun is not that big. You have seen what I am capable of. How long will it take me to go through all the places on the western coast of Weilun where dozens or hundreds of people can be hidden? Anyway, I can't hide them anymore. Why don't you tell me and give yourself What about a happy ending?”

One of the reasons why witchers cannot rely on the Seal of Axi to act recklessly is that the effect of the Seal of Axi is extremely weak.

A warrior like Willis, who fights head-on without changing his expression, will most likely be stunned for less than two seconds if hit by a magic seal.

 Because they are determined and have a murderous intention.

The mind control skills of some powerful warlocks can actually make such people turn around and chop down their own wives and children without stopping.

  But for the witcher’s magical tricks—

 Even if Lan En is using a cliche, he must first weaken Willis's body and spirit, and then suddenly blind him, and then give him a barely consistent reason before Willis can speak without reservation.

 “Yes, yes, I can’t hide it anyway”

 Willis's words were like babble in his sleep.

“On the western coast of Willen, near a village called Condale, we set up camp in the hills.”

“Village? Has that village been eaten up by you?”

 Lan En shook off the skin fragments wrapped around the three-pointed nails of his gloves and asked softly.

"If the 'Head Eater' doesn't allow us to hunt nearby, he said this, we won't even be found in Willen for two years."

 “‘Head-Eater’? Who is that?”

“We don’t know what our leader’s original name was, and he never said it. It’s just because he likes to eat boiled human heads, so we call him that.”

 Lan En touched his hand on the lower back, and the cold light of the hunting knife flashed in his palm.

“You don’t even know his name, so you recognize him as the boss? When did the trust within the criminal gang become so strong?”

"Because he can bring food and make money. It was he who brought the children's trade this time. It was also his idea for me to wear this outfit. Although he looks like a brainless wild boar, he is actually the brainiest. It works. Wait! What are you going to do? What did I say?! No, no, no, this is different from what was promised! It’s different! Ah!!”
