Chapter 264 "Smiling"
Qi Wuyou sneered when he heard this and looked up and down at the person who spoke.
Although the man's clothes were not particularly fancy, at least he did not look like someone who was short of money.
Qi Wuyou snorted coldly, casually pulled at the man's hair crown, and asked, "No money?"
The man lowered his head and nodded hesitantly.
Qi Wuyou raised his eyebrows and gave Ersan a look.
Twenty-three understood, nodded, walked forward, pried open the man's mouth and threw a pill in.
The man wanted to spit it out, but it was too late. It almost melted in his mouth and what he spit out was saliva.
"What did you give me to eat?" the man asked Qi Wuyou with a horrified look.
Qi Wuyou shook his head and spread his hands, "I didn't give it to you, how would I know what medicine it is?
Twenty-three raised an evil smile and said slowly to the robber who had already collapsed on the ground with fear: "Oh? Are you scared? Don't worry, I won't let you die easily."
As he spoke, he took out a medicine bottle and shook it gently. It was the medicine he had just given to the man. "This is a new poison I recently developed. I haven't found anyone to try it on yet, so I'll use you as an experiment."
The robber's face turned pale in an instant, his lips trembled, and he couldn't utter a word.
Twenty-three showed a smug smile on his face and continued, "This poison is called 'Michelia'. It sounds mild, right? But in fact, it will make you experience unprecedented pain and torture. Of course, this name also has a meaning. After all, it can make people smile until they die."
The robber's body began to tremble violently, and his eyes widened with fear.
Twenty-three's voice gradually became low, with a hint of gloom: "This poison is my greatest masterpiece. Once it takes effect, it will make you unable to live or die."
Twenty-three's tone was cold, as if he was freezing someone to death. "You will feel the muscles in your body gradually stiffen and become unable to move, but at the same time you will feel excruciating pain, as if you were being bitten by millions of ants."
Twenty-three paused for a moment and smiled cruelly, "And the most terrifying thing is that you remain conscious the entire time and can only watch yourself slowly die."
Qi Wuyou stood quietly by the side, watching everything happening before his eyes with indifference.
Suddenly, her eyebrows frowned slightly, as if she smelled something strange.
Upon smelling it carefully, it turned out to be the smell of urine coming from the robber.
It was obvious that the robber became incontinent due to extreme fear.
Twenty-three became more and more excited as he spoke, his eyes fixed on the robber as if he was admiring a piece of work of art.
The robber's eyes had lost focus, leaving only despair and fear.
His body kept twitching and he made inarticulate sounds for mercy.
However, Twenty-Three remained indifferent and continued to talk to himself: "Do you know? This poison has another special feature, that is, it will distort your facial muscles and make your face look particularly hideous. Imagine what your face will become when you face death with a smile...hahahahaha!"
Twenty-three's laughter echoed in the air, making people feel creepy.
The robber completely collapsed. His mental defenses had been completely broken and he could no longer withstand such torture.
The man cried and choked up, saying, "What I said is true! I swear! My name is Dushun, and I'm from Tongzhou. I just saw that you were generous, so I had evil thoughts."
As if afraid that Qi Wuyou would not believe him, Du Shun told him about the situation at home, even explaining three generations of the family.
Qi Wuyou scratched his ears and looked at him jokingly, "Brother, although you are a robber, I think you are being instructed by someone, right?"
Du Shun's face looked a little unnatural, as if he was embarrassed after being exposed.
His smile seemed forced, and the wrinkles on his face deepened. "How...how could it be? Miss, I am an honest man. How can a small person like me meet those high and mighty people?"
"Those high and mighty people?" Qi Wuyou raised his eyebrows, with a hint of ridicule in his tone.
Du Shun realized that he had said something wrong and immediately played dumb. "Who? I was just saying it casually. Judging from your demeanor, you are definitely not an ordinary person, so I made this guess."
Qi Wuyou nodded, thinking for a while, and looked at Du Shun with a half-smile and said: "If that's the case, no one will hold you accountable if a small person like you is crushed to death by a big person like me, right?"
After saying that, Qi Wuyou stood up and said to Du Shun in a panic, "Take him back and torture him severely to find out who is behind him."
"Yes," Twenty-three and Twenty-four responded, carrying the robbers through the alley and then turning several corners and finally getting into a carriage.
After Du Shun and others were taken away, Qi Wuyou followed Lianxiang and An Ning thoughtfully.
"Miss," Lianxiang leaned close to Qi Wuyou's ear and said in a low voice, "From just now, I felt that someone was watching here."
Qi Wuyou was stunned when he heard this, and said in a voice that all three of them could hear: "Just now? Since when?"
Lianxiang replied: "When we were surrounded by Dushun, however, I did not sense his ill intentions, so I did not say anything."
Qi Wuyou raised his eyebrows, a barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he thought: Interesting, it seems that today's matter is not simple!
She became secretly alert in her heart, but remained calm on the surface and continued to talk with Lianxiang and An Ning.
After a while, Qi Wuyou asked, "What about now? Are you still there?"
Lianxiang shook her head gently. "No, he left after Dushun was taken away."
Qi Wuyou narrowed her eyes slightly, thinking secretly in her heart. She couldn't figure out what the appearance of this mysterious person meant? Why did he appear beside them?
She turned to look at Lianxiang and An Ning and said calmly, "That's all for today. Let's go back first."
Lianxiang and An Ning nodded in response, and then the three of them quickened their pace and walked towards the restaurant where they were staying.
After returning to the restaurant, Qi Wuyou didn't delay for a moment and immediately told Xuan Yelan what had just happened.
After Xuan Yelan heard this, his face remained expressionless. He and Lu Yuqi exchanged a glance, then smiled at Qi Wuyou and said, "That must be the person I sent to look for you."
Qi Wuyou knew at a glance that he was hiding something from her. She frowned and asked, "Since you sent him, why did he leave without saying hello?"
Lu Jiu took over the conversation, "Your Majesty, His Majesty did send someone, but that person is a secret guard of the Lu family. So it is inconvenient for him to see Your Majesty."
"Yes," Xuan Yelan echoed, "Although you have secret guards around you, the situation in Tongzhou is still unclear. How can I let you go out and play without worry?"
