Ch. 25
Chapter : 25
Yan Yunqing repeated the process, and the alley was suddenly filled with four 'corpses' in gunny sacks.
The person walking at the very front of the five was still noisily bragging about his achievements. A cold wind blew, making him shiver.
"Why did it suddenly get cold?" That person rubbed his arms, "Hey, don't you guys feel a little cold?"
For a long time, no one answered him.
The person was stunned for a moment.
His alcohol-addled brain finally started working again.
He suddenly realized that his surroundings seemed terribly quiet since a moment ago...
N-No way?
The person swallowed, feeling the hair on his body stand on end.
He turned his head abruptly.
Before he could even shout "Who is it," he met Yan Yunqing's eyes.
Yan Yunqing gave him a smile, then unceremoniously covered his mouth, knocked him out with the scabbard, and put him in a gunny sack.
Lilian witnessed the entire process of Yan Yunqing knocking out all five people, dragging them back, and tying them up.
The whole elf was a bit numb.
"What are you doing?"
Lilian moved closer to Yan Yunqing and asked in a small voice, "Why did you tie them up?"
"To get some information!" Yan Yunqing said, "These few are from the magic academy.
Maybe they know Kalenna?
At the very least, they should have heard of Kalenna's teacher, Lord Adelaide?"
That mage named Adelaide was a teacher at this magic academy.
As students, they should have heard of her more or less.
Lilian hesitated: "It's been six years, do you think they'll really know?"
"We'll know once we ask, won't we?" Yan Yunqing shrugged.
Just putting an NPC in a gunny sack to ask for some information, this kind of operation was nothing to Yan Yunqing.
Back when he played GTA V, he would rob NPCs every day.
After robbing them, he would kill them directly, then have a car chase with the police, like a complete gangster.
Now, due to the fact that he had transmigrated into the game for real, Yan Yunqing's behavior was more restrained.
If he were really a player logging in, he would probably have saved the game and tried to wipe out the auction house without taking any damage in the first place.
Why else would you say that players are the Fourth Calamity?
Besides, these five people were no good either.
Just now, they were using their drunkenness to talk about how to toy with women!
Yan Yunqing's sense of morality could be flexible.
Five gunny sacks were neatly arranged on the ground.
Yan Yunqing picked one out like choosing soldiers, first equipping the [Face·Masquerade Ball] decoration from his backpack to cover half his face.
Only then did he squat down, lift the person up, pull down the gunny sack a little, grab the person's hair, and slap him twice on the face.
While hitting, Yan Yunqing even had the mood to comment:
"This one has a lot of freckles on his face, let's call him Freckle Face."
After being knocked out, Freckle Face was slapped twice again.
The originally dazed person felt the stinging pain from his face and scalp.
He opened his eyes blankly and gasped, "Mmm... mmm..."
When his eyes focused and he saw a person squatting in front of him, wearing a gorgeous mask, the pair of dark red eyes under the mask made his back run cold.
He sobered up for the most part, and the stinging pain from his scalp also made his heart sink.
"Mmm mmm mmm?!"
He widened his eyes, wanting to back away, but his hands and feet were tied up, and his hair was held by Yan Yunqing, making it impossible to retreat.
"Sorry, sorry, I forgot you still had something in your mouth."
Yan Yunqing apologized and pulled the rag out of his mouth.
Just as Freckle Face was about to shout for help, Yan Yunqing grabbed him by the neck.
His face instantly turned red, and he desperately kicked the ground with his tied feet, trying to inch himself backward to create more breathing space.
"You seem to want to call for help?" Yan Yunqing's lips curled into a smile as he held the other's neck, "Do you think someone will come to save you?
Your companions?"
"Look there."
Freckle Face followed Yan Yunqing's gaze and saw the ground littered with bodies in sacks.
He was instantly horrified, his face flushed as he shook his head vigorously, managing to choke out a few mumbled words, "N-No dare!"
"It's useless even if you dare."
Yan Yunqing scared him, "It's the middle of the night, you few are the only living people around, and well, you're all here.
Even if you want to call for help, no one can come to save you."
As he spoke, Yan Yunqing's cold gaze fell upon Freckle Face, causing him to shiver involuntarily.
Help, what kind of god of death has descended?
This look must have been cultivated after killing several thousand people, right?
When did we provoke such a terrifying person!
Yan Yunqing satisfyingly turned off his [Advent of the Demon King] skill.
Although this talent skill didn't seem very useful for combat, it was exceptionally effective for threatening people!
It could be used as an intimidation skill in the future.
Lilian, in an inconspicuous corner nearby, took all of this in with a complicated expression.
Yan Yunqing released the hand that was choking the other's neck and patted Freckle Face's cheek with his palm, "I'll ask you a few questions.
Answer them obediently and I'll let you go.
If you hide anything or try to call for help, I'll finish you off, understand?"
Freckle Face saw Yan Yunqing pull out a dagger from somewhere and twirl it in his hand.
The white, sharp blade looked particularly frightening, scaring him into nodding repeatedly.
"Understand, understand, understand!"
"You're a student of Tushanxi Magic Academy, right?"
The expression on Freckle Face's face became even more desperate.
To dare to do something like this knowing he was a student of the magic academy meant that this masked person in front of him either had immense power or a powerful background.
He wasn't afraid of them, these little mages, nor was he afraid of the academy's reprimand.
It was even possible that he had both power and background! How terrifying, when did they ever provoke him!
"Yes, yes, we are all third-year students of Tushanxi Magic Academy."
Freckle Face's face was pale, his lips trembling, "What... what do you want to ask?"
Third-year students, that meant they were about the same as Kalenna, all junior mages.
Yan Yunqing glanced at the level above the other's head, feeling a little guilty.
Level 22, hmm... ten levels higher than him.
If he hadn't caught the other off guard, tied up the physically weak mages first, and confiscated their magic staves, it was uncertain who would be threatening whom right now.
This was the drawback of being a pure mage.
Yan Yunqing was determined in his idea of dual-cultivating magic and martial arts.
Taking advantage of the fact that Freckle Face didn't know he was a lower level, Yan Yunqing unscrupulously used his aura to intimidate the other, "Do you know a mage named Adelaide?"
Freckle Face showed a dazed expression, "Adelaide? Who's that?"
"...What about Kalenna? Do you know this name?"
"Never heard of it? Is she also from our academy?"
Yan Yunqing frowned, "When did you enroll?"
Freckle Face was terrified, "I-I enrolled four years ago?"
Tsk, four years ago, then he probably wouldn't know about what happened six years ago.
Yan Yunqing was disappointed.
With a chop of his hand, he physically hypnotized Freckle Face again.
With a thud, Freckle Face fell to the ground, unconscious.
Kicking Freckle Face to the side, Yan Yunqing casually pulled up another sack and repeated the same series of actions.
Unfortunately, these people had all enrolled four or five years ago, and none of them knew Kalenna or Adelaide.
Yan Yunqing clicked his tongue and walked to the last sack, squatting down.
He pulled open the sack, revealing the face of the person underneath.
That face was filled with terror, even his nostrils were slightly flared, looking rather comical.
Yan Yunqing took a moment to recognize him, realizing this was the first person he had tied up and thrown here.
After so long of questioning, he had long since woken up.
This was even better, it would save him from further nonsense.
"You should have heard what I just said clearly, right?"
Yan Yunqing said softly, "I'll ask a few questions.
No hiding, no calling for help.
If you make any unnecessary movements, I'll finish you off first."
Big Nose nodded repeatedly, his eyes constantly glancing towards the 'corpses' on the ground, terrified.
Yan Yunqing raised an eyebrow.
After a moment's thought, he knew that the other probably thought he had already killed the other four.
Hmm... it didn't really affect anything.
Maybe it would even make this Big Nose a little more honest.
He pulled the rag out of the person's mouth. Big Nose didn't call for help or make any unnecessary movements, just kept swallowing saliva, extremely nervous.
Seeing Big Nose being so cooperative, Yan Yunqing didn't resort to violence, and even gently straightened the other's robe.
Unexpectedly, Big Nose trembled at Yan Yunqing's gesture, almost crying out in fear.
Fortunately, Yan Yunqing was quick enough to stuff the rag back into his mouth, preventing him from crying out.
Then, a faint sound of water was heard.
Yan Yunqing looked down.
Good heavens, a wet patch had appeared under Big Nose.
He had been scared into peeing his pants.
Yan Yunqing: ...
Yan Yunqing was truly speechless.
When he was beating people violently, this Big Nose was only terrified.
When he gently straightened his robe, he scared him into peeing.
What kind of logic was this?
Yan Yunqing's face turned cold.
He moved in another direction to avoid getting peed on.
"You know what I want to ask, right?"
Big Nose nodded repeatedly.
Yan Yunqing pulled the rag out of his mouth again, "So, do you know any information about Adelaide or Kalenna?"
After asking four people in a row without getting an answer, Yan Yunqing didn't have much hope for this fifth one and was already thinking about where to find related clues next.
Unexpectedly, Big Nose started speaking with sobs.
"I-I," Big Nose's voice trembled uncontrollably, "I know."
Yan Yunqing's gaze immediately focused on Big Nose, waiting for him to continue.
"Adelaide... is-is she a former magic teacher at our academy?"
Big Nose wasn't sure, "I-I think I've heard this name, but she's not at our academy anymore.
I don't know where she went specifically."
Yan Yunqing was a little disappointed. He had long suspected that Adelaide was no longer at the magic academy.
After all, if she were still there, it would be impossible for four people in a row not to have heard of her name, and Lawson, who frequently went to Seta City, would also not have been unable to find any trace of Adelaide.
"But-but I know Kalenna!"
Big Nose saw Yan Yunqing's disappointment and hurriedly answered in a loud voice, "I know that Kalenna! Don't kill me!"
Eh? This person actually knows Kalenna?
What an unexpected surprise.
He had thought that after six long years, these magic academy students would at most know of Adelaide, but nothing about Kalenna.
"Oh? Then tell me about it?"
Yan Yunqing showed a very friendly smile, which in Big Nose's eyes looked like a bloodthirsty demon.
