Pray and become a magical girl

Chapter 9: Interrogation

"Okay, let's stop talking about your meaningless aesthetic concepts." Cheng Yiran said lightly.

Liu Yi's chest heaved violently. He stared at the girl, his eyes full of bloodshot, as if his anger was about to erupt like a volcano in the next second.

"Hmph!" Liu Yi snorted coldly and sat down. He also realized that he was being led by the nose by this girl. No matter what she said next, he would not respond!

"Tell me why you did this." Cheng Yiran asked, then picked up the pen beside him, ready to take notes at any time.

"Click, click..." However, the spring of the pen bounced back again and again, but Liu Yi remained silent.

Cheng Yiran sighed softly and said, "Ah~ You won't tell me? This is troublesome. It seems that I can only rely on guessing. Although today's zodiac sign is not Aries, my luck is not bad."

"Let me think about it--" Cheng Yiran noticed Liu Yi's right hand. In addition to being pale, he now found that there were many scars on it.

"Liu Yi, 37 years old, is unemployed now. Four years ago, he was just an ordinary construction worker.

"You dropped out of school after graduating from junior high school and went to work on a construction site. You worked for five teams and were fired each time for stealing construction materials. It seems that not only do you have a poor sense of taste, but your life is as unsuccessful as a so-called work of art."

Cheng Yiran summarized Liu Yi's life experience and made sharp comments.

This time Liu Yi did react, but he just snorted heavily.

Cheng Yiran crossed his hands on the table and added, "Your failed life has created a twisted soul, but we cannot find out your motives yet. We still need information."

"Ding Dong" the phone rings.

"Oh~ Speak of the devil, and he will appear." Cheng Yiran smiled.

The person who wrote the letter was Ma Tianjun. This was something Cheng Yiran had just entrusted him to help with. Well, it also proved that Cheng Haoran really went to the Hero Association.

Cheng Yiran looked at the message on his phone and fell silent. He put the phone down and then said slowly, "Your aesthetic is not just lousy, it's totally off the charts. So, what kind of brain circuit made you think of using cement to shape it and then paint it with lime?"

Liu Yi's eyes showed shock and his fists clenched unconsciously, but Cheng Yi still didn't care and continued to pester him, even pushing the photo in front of Liu Yi.

"And this one, using the marble slab as a carving canvas, the idea is good, but do you have the talent for it? The sculpture made will be like an indescribable evil god. I'm afraid you will be cursed if you step on such a floor. And..."

"Enough!" Liu Yi was angry, but not because those works were torn off like a fig leaf, but because he once again heard the mockery of his art in Cheng Yiran's words.

Cheng Yiran promptly retrieved the phone that had nearly flown away, leaned back in his chair and said, "With so many clues, we can guess the answer.

“Eternity, your motivation is still inseparable from these two words. Whether it is the sculptures or paintings in the past, or the human specimens now, they are all eternal art to you.

"A disaster that occurred in the Super Power Era caused your right hand to be severely fractured, and you have been unable to wield a carving knife ever since.

“So you use your supernatural powers to open up a new way, but no matter how beautiful the raw materials are, they become a failed work after passing through your hands.

"You have no artistic talent. You are just a despicable loser."

"Hahahaha——" Liu Yi laughed crazily with a ferocious face, "I failed? I did fail, but you heroes failed even more! It was you who didn't come to rescue me in time, which led to their deaths. You are the real murderers who killed them!

"And you guys fought for humanity for three years, but you saved a scumbag like me, and even King Arthur gave his life for it. Aren't you the most ridiculous losers, and you still have him!?"

Cheng Yiran stood up slowly, still looking calm on the surface. Seeing this, Shen Xinmeng had a bad feeling.

Cheng Yiran stared at Dui Yi with cold eyes, then said, "Yes, we are quite a failure. We didn't filter out scum like you. But what are you supposed to judge our value?"

Cheng Yiran grabbed Liu Yi's neck and lifted him up like a chicken.

The handcuffs that could restrain an A-level power-type mutant broke under this tremendous force. Of course, Liu Yi's hands were also in great pain, with blood all over the place.

The severe pain made Liu Yi scream, but his throat was strangled so he couldn't make any sound.

Cheng Yiran's Leo form is 1.65 meters tall, not much shorter than Liu Yi.

The feeling of being suspended in the air made Liu Yi feel unprecedented fear. He kept struggling in the girl's hands because of his biological instinct. His bloody right hand also touched Cheng Yiran, hoping for a miraculous counterattack.

However, Cheng Yiran's next words made Liu Yi's soul feel like it was falling into an ice cellar, "You can try to use your superpowers on me, I won't stop you. Your superpowers can absorb other people's energy to grow, but you have to think clearly whether you can withstand the energy of an S-level hero."

The next second, Liu Yi let go, and his pale face became even more bloodless.

"You can't..." Liu Yi tried his best to squeeze out the sound.

Liu Yi must be afraid of death. He has strong desires and is afraid of death, otherwise he would have committed suicide when his right hand was broken. Cheng Yiran retorted without emotion, "Why do you think I can't kill you? Do you think you are valuable? Indeed, we want to get information about the person behind you from you.

"But I judge your value now. I have every reason to kill you. The worst that can happen is that I have to turn the entire China upside down to find them."

Liu Yi's eyes trembled. This girl would really kill him!
"Law..." Liu Yi wanted to use the law to restrain Cheng Yiran, but this would not have any effect on Cheng Yiran.

"Law? There seems to be a rule that prohibits heroes from killing unresisting super-powered criminals, but it restricts newcomers who are overwhelmed with anger, not me.

"Let me be frank with you. I, Xing Gong, am the third S-rank hero, the hero with the highest active experience and the most merits. I have contributed to saving this world, so what if I killed a criminal?"

There was contempt for everything in his orange-red eyes, and the strength in Cheng Yiran's hands continued to increase, as if he would break Liu Yi's neck in the next moment.

Liu Yi's eyes became dazed and his consciousness gradually became blurred, but fortunately Cheng Yiran finally let go.

Liu Yi fell to the ground, taking big gulps of air. Everything he had just experienced seemed like a nightmare, but the severe pain in his neck told him that this was the real reality.

"Okay, the interrogation officially begins now." Cheng Yiran sat back in the chair, but the color of her hair turned into a deep black in the next second, and the magical girl's skirt on her body also changed into a long skirt dotted with stars like the night sky.

Shen Xinmeng was shocked. This was not any form of the twelve zodiac signs, and she had never seen a star palace transform into another form before midnight.
-
Sister Xinggong...

After a year and a half, Cheng Yiran used this form again. This form was also the reason why her supernatural powers were out of control. However, as long as it was not used for a long time, it would only take a few days for her to be unable to transform back to her original form.

With a light snap of his fingers, a golden scale fell on the table. Cheng Yiran said, "I ask questions and you answer them. You have one minute to think about each question, and your answer will be judged by it, and its value by me. If you exceed the time limit, lie, or talk about worthless topics, you will be punished."

"The first question is, where do your super powers come from?" Cheng Yiran asked.

This was not an unanswerable question, so Liu Yi immediately shouted, "Master Priest, it was you who gave me this supernatural power!"

The scale tilted to the right, and Cheng Yiran nodded slightly, "Very good, then the next question is, what is the real name of this priest?"

Liu Yi fell silent. This question touched the red line of the sect. The high priest had warned him not to reveal his name to others.

After some thought, Liu Yi chose to tell a lie. He also wanted to see what the so-called punishment was.

"No...don't know."

"Click" the tilt direction of the balance changes.

Cheng Yiran shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, that's a lie. Then the punishment begins. - Today is not Aries' lucky day, but my luck is still good. What do you think is the probability that I will cut you in the most painful place with a random cut?"

As he spoke, Cheng Yiran had already waved his hand gently.

Liu Yi's face immediately turned the color of liver, and then he let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered.

"Ah!!!" The severe pain once again made it impossible for him to breathe. He even wanted to faint from the pain, but he remained awake the whole time, fully experiencing this heart-wrenching pain.

It will be fine once it becomes numb. Once it becomes numb, it won't hurt so much. Liu Yi is looking forward to this happening, and if the next punishment is still this, he is confident that he can withstand it without leaking any information.

Gradually, the pain subsides and the body's self-protection begins.

However, the next second, Liu Yi was stunned. The pain completely disappeared. Not only that, the remaining feeling of suffocation also disappeared without a trace.

Cheng Yiran explained the anomaly, "The punishment is over. Don't worry, this is not the punishment time, you won't feel any pain. It's still the same question, but if you can't answer it, your pain will be doubled. The Scorpio's poison can do this."
-
What should I do, what should I do, what should I do…what should I do!
Liu Yi was caught in a dilemma. Having experienced that kind of pain, it would be impossible for him to experience it again, not to mention that the pain would be doubled!
But Liu Yi had no idea of ​​the consequences of betraying the cult, and the most likely outcome was death.

"Five, four, three..." Cheng Yi still entered the countdown.

Liu Yi stared with his eyes wide open, his breathing became rapid, and he finally made a decision in the last two seconds.
-
That's better than living a life worse than death, and I can even set conditions to ask them to protect me later!
"Xiao Zhenen!"

The "click" sound did not sound immediately. It was only after Cheng Yiran took a look that the balance tilted again.

Cheng Yiran nodded slightly with satisfaction and said, "Very good, last question, where is he?"

"It's in Rong..." Liu Yi answered without thinking. However, when he was about to say the name of the place, his throat seemed to be strangled and he could not make a sound.

A pain like a thousand ants gnawing at his heart spread throughout his body, and Liu Yi's face finally turned a little red, but it was just because of congestion.

His body began to swell, and he even began to grow black hair, gradually turning into something Cheng Yiran was familiar with - a strange beast!
Cheng Yiran smiled slightly, "Interesting."

She snapped her fingers and ended the beast.
