The Death Plan of a Hero of the Empire

The wailing sound of the whip man echoed in the laboratory, making one's hair stand on end.

Oris didn't seem to hear the whip man's wailing, but frowned and stared at Lu Nier.

"I understand, this medicine won't work for you, otherwise, no matter how determined a person is, they won't be indifferent to this kind of pain."

"That's right." Lu Nier admitted bluntly, "So what tricks do you have?"

Oulis thought for a while, this method was almost invincible in the past, and it was the first time he encountered a situation where this method failed, and for a while, he didn't know which method to change to force the question.

Seeming to be too noisy, he injected another injection into the whip man, causing him to continue to pass out...or really die.

"Forget it, I can find a master torturer later, I have plenty of time." Olis stopped worrying about Lunier, but walked to Li Jie, "Half-elf, you should have taken the spontaneous combustion gem, right? "

Li Jie didn't reply and closed her eyes.

"Spontaneous combustion gem?" Lu Nier was a little puzzled, "What is that?"

"You don't know?" Olis was a little surprised. He took out an unpolished rough diamond as big as a knuckle of a little finger from his pocket, "This is a spontaneous combustion gem."

"So what is this thing?"

Lunier feels that this is inseparable from the reason why the bald head wants the gem, and it is even inseparable from the "poisonous drug" that increases the awakening of demihuman blood and strengthens people's health and physical strength.

"A kind of miraculous gemstone produced by the action of miraculous objects." Because of his absolute superiority, Olis seemed to be a little interested in talking, and explained to Lunier, "Just use the miraculous object [Morbrisso's Ring] When you touch a gem, any gem will be metamorphosed into its derivative [Spontaneous Gemstone]..."

"What is the function of this [Spontaneous Combustion Gem]? To enhance the awakening of the demihuman's bloodline? To enhance people's vitality? To restore health? And then the internal organs weaken and die?"

"It seems that you have done some research on [Spontaneous Combustion Gem]." Olis said, "If you are more knowledgeable in the field of ancient myths and legends, you will know its true function."

"So what is it?"

"As the name suggests, it makes people burn."

Oris replied succinctly.

"Just like using the human body as firewood, once ordinary gemstones become [self-igniting gemstones], they will have a characteristic that they will melt into liquid when they meet water. The liquid formed by this gemstone will make people speed up when they drink it. Burn up, to put it simply, if we compare a person to a ignited firewood, with the current flame level, it will take us decades to burn it up until we die and extinguish, then the [Spontaneous Combustion Gem] will become The liquid is like adding oil to the fire of our life, making the flame burn more vigorously, in other words..."

Olis thought for a while, and found a more common adjective.

"It's like... overdrawing your life in exchange for potential and vitality."

"No wonder..."

Lu Nier finally knew why Layton still had those two people who died strangely, and why they died in that way.

They were not poisoned to death, but died of old age, because they had overdrawn their lives.

"Wait, did she use that gem too?!"

"That's right, this half-elf is your teammate, isn't it? The investigator's data records are a rare mixed race that combines the advantages of both races, the elf..." Olis reached out and tore off Li Jie's mask, and saw her full view , suddenly froze, "Do you have a relative named Lusha?"

Li Jie, who had her eyes closed, opened them suddenly and stared at Oris.

"How did you know my mother's name?!"

Chapter 167 Bright but short-lived brilliance (32)

"Are you Lusha's child? No wonder they are so similar, hahahahahaha..."

Olis didn't answer Lize's question, but suddenly laughed.

"This is really interesting. Since you are her child, that is to say..." Olis seemed to have thought of something, and paused, "I originally wanted to use you as an experimental material, but now it seems that it is inevitable to use it as a material." It's such a pity, you are more suitable as a gift..."

"Why do you know my mother?!" Li Jie asked emotionally.

But Oulis didn't mean to answer her question, but took an injection, walked up to her, and stuck it directly.

"You'd better sleep first."

Let Li Jie fall asleep, and he turned to Lu Nier again.

Knocking on [Phantom of the Opera], Olis looked at this strange mask with probing eyes. He has tried various methods, but this mask just can't be taken off. Unless Lunier is killed, it is estimated that The mask can only be removed by cutting off a layer of face.

This is a property that cannot be forced.

Olis wanted to test the hardness of the mask, but he was afraid that it would destroy the mask and turn it into a waste.

"This strange thing has no records at all, and it doesn't look like a man-made strange thing. What is its effect?"

"do not know."

"Don't rush to refuse, we can make a deal." Olis said, "Information exchange, you tell me what I want to know, and I will tell you what you want to know, how about it? Don't you have any idea about your current situation?" No doubt?"

Lunier thought for a while and asked aloud.

"Who are you? I mean your apparent identity."

"About this, I made an oath before, so I can't tell you, you can ask another one."

"When did you start paying attention to the gem case?"

"Since the day [Morbrisso's Ring] was lost." Oris replied, "Since it was lost, I have been thinking about getting it back every day. Over the years, I have spent countless hours trying to find it. Not too long ago, until I got news of some bizarre deaths, I knew they died because of [Spontaneous Combustion Gemstones], so I cast the bait and let that idiot nicknamed Baldhead take the bait."

"Is it yours?" Lu Nier was not surprised.

"Of course, I am its real owner. It was just a turmoil and it was lost from my hands. No one knows its effect better than me." As he said, Olis wiped his right finger with his thumb "This is [Morbrisso's Ring], I recognized it at a glance."

Lunier looked at the ring worn by Oris, and found that it was quite simple in style, without any gem embellishment, it was just a metal ring with some indistinct runes engraved on it. , put it in any jewelry store now, it is estimated that it is only worthy of lying in the trash can, because no one would want this kind of thing.

"I know everything about it, and no one knows its value better than me." Olis stared at the ring fascinatedly, "Although my friends think it's a waste, only I know the true meaning of it. value."

"After using [Spontaneous Combustion Gem], how can I cancel its effect?" Lunil asked, because Li Jie used this kind of thing, and he remembered clearly what happened to Layton and the dead.

"There is no way. Once you use it, you can only keep using the gemstone to add oil to the firewood that you have burned to keep it burning. If it is broken, it will be extinguished, which is death."

"That is to say, [Spontaneous Combustion Gem] can continue life?!"

"That's right." After Olis answered, he asked again, "Now it's time for me to ask you, how did you get this mask, and what is its effect?"

"If you pick it up, the effect is that you can't take it off."

"..." Oris was silent for a while, "Really?"

"real."

It is true that the effect cannot be taken by force, and Lunil did not deceive him in this regard.

"I can hear your perfunctory, but forget it..." Olis continued, "It's your turn to ask me."

"Why do you want to get this ring back?"

"What a stupid question, but... Some of my friends, they also told me to give up this ring, because its effect is the most useless thing for them, but I am different from them. Compared with them, I am more Pay attention to the effect of this ring on stimulating the awakening of demihuman blood."

When Oris said this, his tone gradually became fanatical.

"Have you ever thought about a question, we humans are inferior to many demi-human races in terms of innate physical fitness, and we don't have any special abilities, and we don't even have obvious advantages in intelligence, but why have we humans developed so far? But it has become the most powerful race in the world... All other races are called subspecies of humans, not subspecies of orcs, subspecies of Fayel, subspecies of half-dragons?"

"This……"

To be honest, Lu Nier was not very interested, but Oris had already continued talking to himself.

"The answer is that our human bloodlines are extremely compatible, and the probability of professionals passing on their abilities to their offspring is unmatched by any other demihuman race. There is a saying that all demihuman races today are actually just The descendants of ancient professionals, the ancestors of those demihumans, inherited and awakened the special abilities of the ancestors of human professionals, resulting in physical mutations, resulting in solidification of blood, and then multiplication and intermarriage. After increasing in number, they gradually developed into a race... "

"From this, I suddenly had an inspiration one day, since our human bloodlines are so compatible, and those demihumans may be mutant humans, can I reverse the direction of those demihuman bloodlines directly back to me? body, thus directly obtaining the natural abilities of demihumans..."

"So I started to study, kept trying, kept failing, again and again...After I failed countless times, I finally realized this idea with the help of a strange thing, transplanting the blood of demihumans directly into my body In this way, the body can be quickly alienated, so that I can obtain subhuman innate abilities. Think about it... What a great thing this is. As long as I continue to study, sooner or later, I will allow all ordinary humans to accept it. This kind of transplant surgery allows them to get rid of their frail bodies. Everyone has a body as strong as an orc, the heart of the Fayel that can breathe fire and convert it into power, the accumulated power of the Tatali, and the super regeneration of the Lizardman. , the magic of elves..."

"The method you used, what kind of method?" Lunier asked, and he began to feel something was wrong.

"The strange thing [body exchange] can exchange a certain part of the body of two people with the consent of both parties. I just need to let the demihumans exchange their blood to me, and the power of the blood will make my body alienated. Transforming into that kind of demihuman, so that I have the racial talent of that demihuman in a short period of time." Olis said with some pride, "It's just that the shortcoming of this method lies in the degree of awakening of the bloodlines of the exchanged objects. , then after the exchange, the degree of natural ability of the demihuman I get will be as high, but it is not easy to find a demihuman with a high degree of blood awakening..."

"So you plan to use [Spontaneous Combustion Gem] to catalyze demihumans so that they have a high bloodline awakening degree for a short period of time, and then exchange their bloodlines with yours?!" Lunier guessed.

"That's right." Orris nodded.

"However, if your body is transformed into a demihuman after your blood is replaced with that of a demihuman, then what will happen if the demihuman's blood is replaced with yours?"

"Death." Olis replied without hesitation, "After the exchange of blood, basically those demi-humans died. The reason is not yet clear, but it should be that their blood and body are not compatible, resulting in conflicts , That's why I died, but I didn't. As I said, the human body is extremely compatible with the blood. I have withstood the change of the blood, and my body has also been alienated, and I have a part of the subhuman ability. , and even if I continue to switch to other demihuman bloodlines, although my alienated body will feel some discomfort, as long as I endure it for a while, I will continue to have new demihuman abilities..."

"Wait, how many test subjects are there before you test on yourself?!"

Lu Nier suddenly thought of one thing, that is, before reaching this conclusion, how many people did Olis experiment with before experimenting on himself?

Although Oulis didn't know his true identity, judging from his tone and attitude, when he talked about those demi-humans who died due to the experiment, he was as indifferent as talking about the death of a few ants.

Moreover, it can be known from his words that although both parties agree to exchange strange items, this agreement is not necessarily voluntary.

Just like extorting a confession by torture can make people reveal information and secrets that they don't want to reveal, and it can also use pain to force people to agree to things they didn't want to agree to.

Regardless of coercion or temptation, there are many ways to get a person to agree.

"I don't remember." Olis replied casually, "Who would remember such meaningless things, well, it's time for you to answer my question, what is your self-healing ability?"

"I don't know." Luner replied.

"I don't know?!" Olis was a little annoyed, "I am obviously answering your question seriously, but you are playing me?"

"No, I'm not kidding you, but I really don't know."

Lu Nier really didn't know the specific principle of his self-healing ability. He only knew that the system said it was the effect of the [Sage's Stone]. He can only analyze the source of Lunier's body's self-healing, but he doesn't know how it works in the middle.

The analogy is... I know the manufacturer of a product, but I don't know the specific process of making this product.

"You really don't know?" Olis's face under the mask didn't know what his expression was now, but judging from his voice, he was undoubtedly a little angry now.

"really do not know."

Olis was silent for a few seconds, then continued to ask.

"Then let me change the question. Why are you there? It's the place where... the law enforcement officers found you."

"I know this. I was investigating the bald head at the time, and traced it all the way."

"How did you find out there?"

"Of course it's based on the clues. I knew something was wrong with Dr. Lake. I went there just to catch him. I didn't expect to meet him halfway."

Lunier replied half-truthfully.

"Did you post that bounty?" Oris asked.

"What reward?" Lu Nier was taken aback.

"You don't know?" Olis's tone was a little surprised, "It's an underground reward in the black market. Someone issued a reward to capture the bald head alive and get a ring from the bald head, which is my [Morbrisso's Ring]..."

"I really don't know. I'm an investigator. How could I post a reward in the underground black market? You didn't post that reward?"

"No, there's no need for that." Olis shook his head, "If I want to find the ring, I just need to use those law enforcers. If it doesn't work, I can also borrow a few from my friends. There is no need to issue a reward. Find those gutters. The stinky mouse in the..."

Olis suddenly thought of something, turned around and walked to the other bed, then found another injection, and stuck it on the whip man.

"what!"

As if waking up from a nightmare, the leather whip man screamed loudly, panting heavily.

"No! Stop torturing me!"

The whip man looked a bit broken.

"I can do whatever you want!"

"Be quiet, what did I ask, and what did you answer." Olis said in a cold tone, "How did you find the reward?"

"I was approached by someone. I don't know that person, but he is very familiar with me. He entrusted me to pick up the bounty and paid me a deposit. He also told me the target's location and general information. , and said that there are law enforcers and other people who received the rewards are also chasing the bald head, let me act quickly and be careful of the law enforcers, but I didn't expect..."

After listening, Olis immediately "woke up" another person who accepted the reward, and then asked questions.

Then came the third...

Olis asked all five of them, and found that their answers were surprisingly consistent.

I don't know the identity of the employer, but that employer seemed to be familiar with them, and gave them a generous deposit, and gave them a rough address to go to. Some of them who planned to refuse were even threatened.

That is, there is a good chance that they were all called by the same person, and that they all saw the other as a competitor without their knowledge.

"It seems that I was the one who took the bait."

Orris sat in a chair, lost in thought.

He also ordered the law enforcement officers to arrive in time when he learned the information, and wiped out these people.

Thinking about it now, the source of this information is also very suspicious, and it should have been deliberately let him know.
