Chapter 425: Why don’t you ask?
“I ask, you answer, got it?”
Seeing that the other party still had no reaction, Liang Yu wondered if his methods were too gentle.
Inside the dim cage, the cyborg lay slumped against the wall, looking utterly disheveled.
He gasped for breath, each inhale and exhale extremely difficult.
His entire body felt drained of strength, so weak he couldn’t exert even a fraction of force.
Despite being a cyborg with mechanized limbs, at this moment, those cold, hard mechanical parts seemed to have lost power, drooping lifelessly.
After all, his body was still no different from an ordinary person’s, and facing such torture from Liang Yu, he had no strength left to answer.
His eyes opened slightly, revealing fatigue and helplessness in his gaze. He looked at Liang Yu, attempting to open his mouth, but could only produce a faint sound, like a flickering candle in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any moment.
His chest heaved violently, and his forehead was covered in large beads of sweat, slowly trickling down his cheeks and dripping onto the ground.
The power he had gained after his transformation had vanished at this moment, and his body’s weakness made even simple communication difficult.
As a result, he couldn’t answer Liang Yu’s questions at all.
Liang Yu frowned slightly, a hint of impatience in his eyes. He raised his hand to check his watch; more than ten minutes had passed since he had given the other party time to rest.
The room was oppressively silent, with only the monotonous ticking of the wall clock.
He sat on a nearby chair, unconsciously leaning forward, his fingers rhythmically tapping the armrest.
The other party remained silently seated opposite him, head bowed, showing no sign of speaking.
Liang Yu felt his patience slowly wearing thin.
Finally, he couldn’t help but sigh, his tone clearly tinged with displeasure.
“I’ve given you enough time to rest, but you’ve remained silent. In that case, you can’t blame me.”
His voice was exceptionally clear in the quiet room, carrying an undeniable firmness.
Anyway, this wasn’t the only one; he had also told Qu Baoguo to try and keep one alive, but even if they all died, it wouldn’t matter.
Given their usual behavior, they would send others to attack within three days at most, and he could just do this again then.
Seeing that Liang Yu had murderous intent, the cyborg, who had finally recovered with great difficulty, also grew anxious. He wasn’t afraid of death; in fact, he hoped for a quick one.
However, he didn’t want to experience that bone-deep, gnawing sensation again. He even doubted if he could endure a second time.
Just before Liang Yu was about to make a move, the other party suddenly spoke, his voice low and carrying a hint of disdainful arrogance.
“Wait!”
“I’ll talk.”
However, after saying that, the two just stared at each other, wide-eyed.
Another two minutes passed, and the other party didn’t speak again after his last words.
Feeling played, Liang Yu pulled out a gleaming scalpel from somewhere, making the cyborg shiver with fear.
As the scalpel flashed before his eyes, he heard something drop to the ground, and then the sharp pain from the side of his face made him understand what had happened.
“Speak! Don’t play games.”
Liang Yu stared coldly at the other party, enunciating each word.
The other party took a deep breath, endured the pain, and forced himself to look calmly at Liang Yu, slowly saying,
“You want me to speak, and I will cooperate.”
“But what do you want to know? You should ask!”
“If you don’t ask, how can I tell you?”
Facing the cyborg’s rhetorical question, Liang Yu calmly replied to him,
“Why should I ask? Wouldn’t it be better if you were sensible and voluntarily confessed what you know?”
“You have no self-awareness at all; do you still need me to ask?”
Although the other party really wanted to argue passionately with Liang Yu online, as a prisoner, he held back.
Then he began to tell Liang Yu what he knew.
Liang Yu listened, and soon realized something was wrong.
Liang Yu stood there, listening to the person opposite him incessantly recounting so-called intelligence.
Initially, he held a glimmer of curiosity, hoping to gain crucial clues from it.
But as the other party’s words continued, his brow furrowed tighter and tighter.
What came out of the other party’s mouth were all trivial matters, worthless trifles that were not the key information he needed at all.
Liang Yu’s eyes gradually turned cold. He stared intently at the cyborg, anger steadily rising in his heart.
The narrator seemed unaware of Liang Yu’s change in mood and continued to speak on his own.
Finally, Liang Yu couldn’t help but interrupt him, his voice low and tinged with anger.
“Enough!”
“Since you don’t want to talk, I won’t force you.”
The cyborg was startled, a hint of awkwardness appearing on his face, but he was also very confused to hear such words as “I won’t force you” from Liang Yu.
But he quickly understood what Liang Yu meant.
He saw Mario carefully holding a red and white ball. He found this type of ball very familiar.
He soon remembered that it was an item from an anime. He didn’t know what Liang Yu’s intention was in bringing out this item, but he had a bad premonition.
Then he saw Liang Yu exit the cage and lock it.
Seeing this, he understood one thing: the situation was about to become very dangerous, otherwise this person wouldn’t have left the cage.
Liang Yu took the spirit ball from Mario and pressed the button in the middle of the spirit ball.
A stream of light shot from the spirit ball into the cage where the cyborg was trapped.
A Mutated Lizard, measuring 1.6 meters in length, appeared inside.
This Mutated Lizard exuded a chilling aura. Its scales shimmered with an eerie glow, each one like hard armor.
Its eyes were narrow and sharp, revealing a bloodthirsty glint. From time to time, it flicked out its forked tongue, making hissing sounds, and the barbs on its tail were ready to attack.
The cyborg’s eyes widened in horror, his body instinctively shrinking back, but being pinned against the cage wall left him nowhere to retreat.
The Mutated Lizard slowly approached, each step causing the ground to tremble slightly.
Suddenly, it lunged at the cyborg. In his panic, the cyborg instinctively tried to raise his mechanical arm to block, but found his arm unable to move.
The lizard bit into his abdomen, and under the powerful bite force, a gap quickly appeared in his abdomen. The cyborg screamed in pain, cold sweat instantly drenching his back.
Liang Yu stood outside the cage, coldly observing everything.
The cyborg struggled in intense pain, and the fear and will to survive in his heart made him decide not to utter any more useless nonsense.
“Make it stop!”
“I’ll talk… I’ll talk!”
He shouted hoarsely.
