Chapter 55 On Torture, You Are Both Brothers
Elpino, who woke up from a coma, was always tight-lipped at first, and even mocked Cassandra who came to torture her, and mentioned the word "filthy bloodline" over and over again, mocking her for having only muscles in her mind.
If Xin Sheng hadn't repeatedly reminded Cassandra to leave Elpino's life, Cassandra, who was angry in his heart, would have pierced the guy's head with a spear.
As for Natiya, Kassandra originally wanted to teach her a harsh lesson, but Xin Sheng stepped forward to stop her.
"Forget it, there is no young man who is full of energy who will not make mistakes. Just treat her as a naughty child who wants to prove himself in front of his elders during the rebellious period."
Under Xin Sheng's persuasion, Kassandra, who was already unbearable, happened to take advantage of the situation to get down to the sidelines.
However, Xin Sheng did not let Natiya go so simply and preached her with a stern face.
"In life, making mistakes is inevitable."
"To be honest, I made mistakes not long ago because of lack of experience and almost capsized in the gutter."
Xin Sheng patted Natiya on the shoulder and began to instill spiritual chicken soup into her.
"It is not scary to make mistakes, but what is scary is that you cannot learn from your mistakes."
"Remember this shame in your heart and remind yourself at any time to not make the same stupid mistakes again in the future."
"Making mistakes, correcting, and growing, humans are becoming stronger step by step under this trial and error mode."
Xin Sheng turned his gaze to Kassandra and said jokingly: "If you don't believe me, ask Kassandra if she made low-level mistakes when she was young."
Born in 458 BC, Kassandra is 27 years old this year, almost twice the age of Natiya.
Cassandra also had a young and energetic time, and inevitably made mistakes. The many scars left on her body are proof of this.
Seeing that Cassandra's expression was a little more natural, Xin Sheng chuckled and changed the subject: "Okay, let's get back to the topic."
Now the temporary residence of Xin Sheng and the other two is a long-destroyed house, located outside the outskirts of Delphi, far away from densely populated areas.
Dropped a bucket of cold stream on Elpino's head, who was knocked unconscious again, and the short and fat man immediately woke up with a trembling body.
"Pooh!"
Spitting out the water from her mouth, Elpino looked at Cassandra with a provocative expression.
"Don't waste your energy, don't even ask for any information from me."
Xin Sheng squatted down and looked straight with Elpino, and his smiling expression made Elpino a little confused.
"Bang!"
Elpino fell back with a confused look on his face after being hit on the door without any warning.
"Find out your identity, captive."
Xin Sheng still had a smile on his face, but there was no smile in his eyes.
"You want to die? It's very simple. A rude death is a relief, but I don't plan to let you go to Hades's kingdom so easily."
Xin Sheng raised his hand and patted Elpino on the face: "There are many kinds of tortures in my country, one of which is called Lingchi."
"Lingchi is also called "thousands of cuts."
Xin Sheng tied Elpino's eyes with a black cloth and continued to explain in his ears in a very gentle tone.
"This kind of punishment will cut off the flesh on the prisoner's body by one knife. It will only cut 300 knives on the first day. After the execution is suspended, the best medicine will be used to stop bleeding and treat the prisoner."
"The next day, another 300 knives will be cut, and this process will be repeated in the next ten days."
Xin Sheng did not use words to scare him, and took out his short knife and demonstrated the cutting of a small piece of meat on Elpino's arm.
"ah!!"
"Shhh~Don't scream, it's still early."
He grabbed Elpino's mouth, which was making a pig cry, and Xin Sheng put the short knife on Elpino's other arm and slowly used force, allowing the blade to cut into his flesh.
"The executioner must accurately control the position of the knife and the amount of meat he cut every day to ensure that the prisoner will die after being cut at least 3,000 times."
Elpino shook like a crumb under the pain in his body and the torture of his heart, and his inability to see things further aggravated the fear in his heart.
Xin Sheng didn't plan to let him go, so he continued to give an example with a smile.
"If you are not satisfied, I can also prepare for you to divide the body by five horses... or even six horses to divide the body by six horses."
"Tie your limbs, head and that one with a thick rope, tie the other to the horse."
"As long as the executioner gave the order, the six people riding horses would whip the horses with whips at the same time, so that they could go in six directions..."
"Enough!"
Elpino, who thought he was used to all cruel things, stopped tremblingly.
"What do you want to know? I am not a senior cadre of the God Cult and I don't know much information."
“Haha~”
Taking off Elpino's blindfold, Xin Sheng patted his fat cheeks with a smile.
"Why should I suffer this sin if I give in early? People always don't cry without seeing the coffin."
Standing up, Xin Sheng turned around and looked at Kassandra and Natiya.
"Okay, if you have any questions... huh?"
At this time, Kassandra looked at Xin Sheng with a strange expression, and Natiya hid behind Kassandra and looked at him quietly with a very strange look.
"...What kind of expression do you guys do? I just scared him. Not everyone can learn Lingchi's craftsmanship."
“That is,.”
Kassandra's expression stiffened and pulled the corners of her mouth: "Do these punishments really exist? Where did you come from..."
...
Elpino, who was broken by Xin Sheng, became very honest. He answered whatever Cassandra asked, and shook out all the information he knew.
The list Xin Sheng found from Elpino's home was also explained in detail.
"The Church of Order was established more than ten years ago, and was originally intended to end the chaotic situation among Greek city-states, and to break all old and corrupt rules through a local war controlled by the Church of God."
"After the war, the regime controlled by the Gods will stand up and control the supreme power of the Greek world, establish an orderly and unified and powerful democratic country, and respond more calmly to threats from outside."
Xin Sheng raised his eyebrows: "At first? That is to say, your ideas have changed now?"
"Yes."
Elpino said without any concealment: "Due to unexpectedly obtaining the descendants of the demigods who inherited the blood of the gods, some senior officials began to blindly worship the noble bloodline."
"Under the leadership of that cruel and tyrannical demigod, the Order God's Church deviated from its original goal."
"Most of the saints act only for their own interests, and they want to seek more selfish interests through war."
"Some people want to be rich and can compete with a country, and they are behind the scenes of manipulating national decisions as businessmen."
"Some people want to become the city-state leader of Athens and Sparta, and even rule the entire Greek by themselves after establishing a unified country."
"There are also people who regard the bloodline of the gods as the gift of the gods, trying to be promoted to a demigod by obtaining this bloodline."
According to the information provided by Elpino, the Order God Cult was originally directly controlled by the leader, with seven senior cadres called Saints under his jurisdiction, each commanding a branch of the God Cult.
Each saint has five intermediate cadres called wise men under his command. Elpino is one of the wise men under the branch's "Eye of Order", who is mainly responsible for collecting various intelligence for the Divine Cult.
Melansos, whom Xin Sheng killed before, was affiliated with the branch "Aegean Gods". He mainly operated in the Aegean Sea and cooperated with other branches to control the voice of the islands on the Aegean Sea.
In addition to the Eye of Order and the Aegean gods, the other five branches of the Divine Cult are the Silver Minerals, the Deluxe League, the Peloponnese League, the Bloodline Worshippers and the Divine Cult heroes.
These branches each have their own responsibilities, such as the Silver Mineral Vein, which mainly provides various resources such as money and food for the Divine Cult.
Bloodline worshipers, based on the information provided by the Eye of Order, went to all over the world to capture descendants of the "god" bloodline that may have inherited, and used these innocent people to conduct experiments.
The various branches of the Order God Church are independent of each other, and they use masks to block their identities every time they meet.
Except for the leader, only the saints of each branch know the true identities of the five wise men under his command.
With the introduction of the demigod bloodline, the structure of the Order Divine Cult has undergone a fundamental change.
The leader who was originally responsible for making decisions was gradually alienated by the saints and began to establish a new order around the demigod with noble bloodlines.
Xin Sheng had already known who Elpino's demigod was, but he could not explain himself and thus knew.
"Elpino, who is that demigod? Why don't you worship his blood like other colleagues, but instead say that his blood is dirty?"
Elpino pulled the corner of his mouth and sneered: "His name is Demus, a fool with a simple mind and a well-developed limbs."
