Chapter 76 Torture and Interrogation
Chapter 76 Torture and Interrogation
"Aren't you coming over?" A man wearing a scarred mask at the front of the crowd asked them.
Lin Yue thought for a moment and then walked over first.
The two people behind them followed closely behind.
But just as they were about to walk to the front desk...
Suddenly, the two masked men each pulled out an axe and a dagger.
"Wait a minute."
The three of them stopped immediately.
Seeing them take out their weapons, the fox woman was somewhat better off and managed to remain calm, but the panda man couldn't help but tremble.
Lin Yue looked at the still-wet bloodstains on the axe and dagger, then glanced at the corpse on the ground.
All the corpses had marks resembling deformities.
One finger transformed into a soft touch bowl.
One's facial features became extremely faint, leaving only a few small holes, barely the size of peas, on the face, which looked quite eerie.
Another one has grown wooden structures on its body that resemble table corners and stool legs.
······
Judging from these signs, these should be people who have been cleared out and were already contaminated.
Lin Yue felt a little more at ease.
With so many people and only two bullets left in his gun, he was far from being able to handle the situation.
"What are you going to do?"
"Don't be nervous, there are just rules. If you want to come over, you have to pay a ticket first, which is the slip of paper in your room," Scarface said with a smile.
Strange to say.
The man's mask was so fierce.
But the voice was surprisingly non-aggressive.
He said he just wanted that note.
The panda man instantly relaxed.
"Okay!" he quickly said, "But I forgot to bring the note from my room, what should I do?"
"Writing it down is the same, but I'm warning you, don't lie. If you're caught, those lying here will be what happens to you." Scarface carried an axe and seemed very easy to talk to.
Upon hearing this, the panda man hurriedly ran over, his attitude extremely obsequious.
"No problem, no problem, absolutely the truth."
The fox-woman glanced at Lin Yue beside her, and only walked over after he also started to move.
As I walked past Scarface.
Scarface stared intently at the fox woman's beautiful and alluring figure, scrutinizing her from head to toe with an extremely predatory gaze.
Finally, he couldn't help but whistle.
"call out--"
That frivolous attitude made the foxy woman feel as if she were being pricked by needles all over her body.
My disgust for that face instantly reached its peak.
She wished she could just open the backpack on her back and kill this guy right there and then.
However, she remained rational and did not lose her temper.
The situation is beyond our control right now, so we can only suppress our anger for now.
After Lin Yue and the others arrived, someone quickly handed them paper and pens.
The three of them accepted it.
They wrote down the information about their room.
At this moment, someone in the crowd took the slips of paper from their hands. After studying them for a long time, he nodded and said, "No problem, it doesn't seem like a fake."
Scarface chuckled and said, "Then there's no problem. The three of you can wait here. There are people working inside right now, and we should have the results soon."
"Work? What kind of work?" Lin Yue looked around.
I didn't see the receptionist in that building.
"Hehe, you should be able to hear it soon."
The words fell.
From deep within the reception room, a groan, seemingly suppressed and muffled, immediately came from inside.
"Ugh—!"
Although the voice was muffled, it was clearly the voice of the receptionist.
Lin Yue frowned and asked, "Are you torturing that receptionist?"
Scarface held up a finger and waved it. "Wrong, this isn't torture, this is interrogation. Who broke this door? What are the rules inside the building? That guy knows the most, but he just won't talk. Before, we couldn't do anything to him because of the evil spirits protecting him, but now that all the evil spirits have run into the building, we have to make him spit out some real information."
"Turns out they didn't know who broke the door either..."
Lin Yue silently recited a sentence in her heart, without saying anything more.
"Ugh—!"
There was another shout from inside the house.
Scarface looked at Lin Yue and said leisurely, "What? Can't bear it anymore?"
"No, I just wanted to ask what you all found out," Lin Yue said.
"We didn't get down here much earlier than you. That kid hasn't said a word yet, but our people are very professional. We'll have some news soon." Scarface pointed to the wall on one side after saying that. "Also, everyone's notes are posted over there. You can see them yourself if you want."
Lin Yue turned her head and saw that, sure enough, all the notes that had been written down had been pasted on the wall for easy viewing.
"Please distinguish between the living and the dead."
"Every living person who enters here will be targeted by a dead person."
"If you find a ball, glasses, or paper money in the hallway, do not touch it, do not look at it, and get away from it as soon as possible."
"There is a note in every room where a living person lives."
"Do not approach staff members wearing black uniforms; they are official employees."
······
Lin Yue was somewhat surprised when she saw this.
"...Who authorized this?"
In such a short time, so many arrangements were made and the plan was well-organized.
This organizational ability is simply phenomenal.
Scarface pointed to the back room of the front desk. "That's the kid who started it up inside. Alright, stop asking. If you keep talking at a time like this, it'll attract those ghosts."
Lin Yue nodded, her eyes sweeping over the room with a complex expression.
He then continued to study the note on the wall.
There's a lot of value in it.
But what caught his attention most was one of the things – “There is a crack in Building 4.”
The note was probably written in a very vague and unclear way, so it didn't attract the attention of these people and was posted in a rather obscure corner, where it was very inconspicuous.
But Lin Yue, who had personally visited the Qin family mansion, instantly recalled the crimson rift that connected to the world of death.
"There's a crack here too? And it's right here in Building 4." Lin Yue made a mental note of it.
At this point, the sounds from the front desk gradually subsided.
The interrogation seemed to have come to an end.
A thin man dressed in casual sportswear walked out from inside.
The man was wearing a comical Peking Opera clown mask and casually tossed some things on the ground.
Lin Yue glanced at the things he had just thrown away.
They immediately realized that it was actually a huge clump of fingernails stuck together by blood plasma.
But the clown mask didn't care at all about what he had just done. He took out a clean white handkerchief, wiped the blood off his hands, and said in a completely emotionless voice, "Alright, I've asked all the questions I needed to ask. Anyone who wants to hear more can come over."
Everyone immediately gathered around.
The man threw away the used handkerchief, then glanced at Lin Yue and the fox-like woman.
Lin Yue immediately noticed that fleeting glance, and her brows furrowed beneath the paper bag.
"Why is this person looking at the two of us?"
Lin Yue immediately thought of the heart-gouging knife on her back and the large backpack on the fox woman's back.
If there's anything special about us, it's these two things we own.
However, he had no way to verify it.
But in that instant, his fear of the clown mask deepened.
