Chapter 696 1 Color Flower Super God [Five Thousand Six Hundred]

"The man you captured is finally willing to speak? So soon?" Ogata Xunsheng turned his head to look for Mucun's figure.

As soon as Makimura's voice sounded, A-Machi immediately pulled her hands out of Ogata's palm.

"Yeah. It's really not easy." Mucun's burly body appeared from behind the corner of the corridor beside Ogata, "Mamiya used a little trick, and finally got that guy to talk."

"Trick? What did Mamiya do?" Ogata stood up slowly while patting the dust on his butt.

"Well...before you say this." Mucun quickly walked up to Ogata, and then patted Ogata's shoulder with neither light nor heavy force, "Brother Ogata, let me tell you about you first." Bar."

"After absorbing that 'power of immortality', your body didn't show any abnormalities, right?"

Hearing this question that he had heard countless times, Ogata smiled helplessly.

"Don't worry, I'm fine... Except that my physical fitness and resilience have become much better than before, everything else remains the same. Tell me quickly what kind of trick Gamiya used to make that prisoner speak so quickly .”

"This plan is not complicated..."

...

...

Back in time not long ago——

"Puff...cough cough...cuckoo..."

With a face full of anxiety, Qian Jing poured all the water in the water bottle on Jiezheng's face, and then lifted the white cloth covering Jiezheng's face.

But before he had time to ask anything, Jiezheng coughed, spit out saliva and snot, and said intermittently:

"I... cough... I won't say anything... cough cough...!"

"Damn it!" Asai, who had a quick temper, gritted his teeth, "This guy is really troublesome...I really want to kill him..."

"Hmm..." Shimada on the side nodded, "I feel the same..."

Asai was getting impatient, and Shimada's expression was also extremely ugly.

The overly blunt Jiezheng has almost exhausted the patience of the two of them.

"Come again." Asai put the white cloth on Jiezheng's face again, "I want to see how long this guy can last."

"Asai. Stop for a while."

"Huh?" Asai was taken aback, then turned to look at the person who stopped him just now, "Mamiya? Huh? Why are you here, Makimura? Don't you two need to torture that left and right gate and that ninja?"

It was Mamiya who called Asai.

Jiangong stood at the corner of the corridor not far away, and Mucun stood beside him.

It's no wonder that Asai is puzzled by Mamiya and Makimura who suddenly appeared here.

Because according to the distribution of tasks, Mamiya and Mucun should be busy torturing Saemon and Haru right now.

[To be honest, I have been using Mimi to read and update books recently, switch sources, read aloud with many timbres, and both Android and Apple are fine. 】

They currently count 3 captives—Zaiweimen, Jiezheng, and Ah Qing.

About how to torture these three people, Mamiya and others made the following arrangements——

Mucun, who has the most experience in torture, tortured Zuoemon alone. Zuoemon was tied to a wooden post with iron chains, and he couldn't even move. Mucun alone was competent enough to torture Zuoemon.

Mamiya alone is responsible for the torture of Ah Qing.

Asai and Shimada are responsible for dealing with Jiezheng together.

Three groups of people were tortured in different places.

"Asai, Shimada, don't worry about that guy for now." Mamiya glanced at Jiezheng who was still coughing and hadn't caught his breath yet, "You two come here first."

Although wondering what kind of medicine was sold in Mamiya's gourd, Asai and Shimada got up obediently and walked towards Mamiya.

Jiezheng and the others were tightly bound, and it was impossible to escape, so Jiangong and the others could safely abandon them for the time being.

Mamiya led the three of them, Mucun, Asai, and Shimada, to a deserted corner, and finally stopped.

"Asai, Shimada, how are you?" Mamiya paused,

Immediately, he asked the two of Asai, "Is there any sign that the guy you two are in charge of interrogating wants to speak?"

"No." Asai shook his head without thinking, "That guy's mouth is so hard, I really want to kill him."

"We have no results here." Mamiya said, "Whether it is the right-hand man or the ninja, their mouths are very hard, and they don't want to say anything."

"If it goes on like this, I don't know when it will take them to let go."

"So—I think we should torture them differently."

"Another method?" Shimada raised his eyebrows, "Is there any torture method more powerful than waterboarding?"

"It's not to use any new torture method, but to try to break their fighting spirit."

"The reason why they can withstand waterboarding is nothing more than their firm will and high fighting spirit."

"So—as long as we can manage to deal a heavy blow to their fighting spirit, then the next thing will be much easier."

Mamiya leaned his back against the wall behind him, and spoke eloquently.

"That left and right door is Toyotomi Nobuhide's confidant."

"Toyotomi Nobuhide can be regarded as a confidant, and he now looks like he would rather die than submit. It can be concluded that his loyalty to Toyotomi is extremely high. It is too difficult to let him confide in information."

"As for that Iga ninja, it can be seen that she must have received relevant training, and it is also quite difficult for her to let go."

"So, for now, let's start with the guy Asai and you guys are in charge of."

"What should we do?" Asai asked, "We have been waterboarding him non-stop. Don't tell me that the torture should be strengthened. If the torture is strengthened, he may drown."

"The reason why I brought you all here is to announce to you a little plan I thought of just now." An intriguing smile appeared on Mamiya's face, "Later, I need you to cooperate with me a little bit. I If that plan is successful, it should greatly impact that guy's fighting spirit."

...

Moments later—

...

- don't say anything... I won't say anything...

——Toyotomi...is my hope for prosperity...

——As long as you persevere... Maybe there will be a turning point... Persevere...

Jiezheng, whose breathing had been straightened out, closed his eyes tightly, pumping himself up in his heart over and over again.

However, no matter how he cheered himself up... the words that Mamiya and others said to him before always popped up in his mind automatically——

(Your Toyotomi's troops in Osaka have been defeated)

Accompanied by these words, what popped up in Jiezheng's mind was Mamiya and others who took him to see Saemon who was also a prisoner.

——Our Toyotomi army...is it really defeated...?

As soon as this idea surfaced, Jiezheng quickly yelled in his heart:

--no! You can't have such pessimistic thoughts!

——It’s just that Saeemon-sama was also captured! This means nothing! The troops in Osaka must still be doing well now!

——It’s better to say that Saemon-sama was captured.

——Lord Sawaiemon is Lord Toyotomi's confidant, he was captured, and the Toyotomi Army will definitely try their best to rescue him.

——In this way, I can also have a chance to be rescued. That's right... I gotta keep going...

A series of self-consolation calmed Jiezheng's flustered emotions.

However, even after regaining his composure, Jiezheng still felt a little lump in his heart...

Pat, clack...

At this time, footsteps came from the end of the corridor beside him.

Jiezheng turned his head to look - it was Asai and Shimada who came back.

After glancing at Asai and Shimada who had returned, Jiezheng turned his gaze back with a disdainful expression on his face, and didn't look at them again.

"Okay!" Asai said loudly, "Let's continue! Grit your teeth for me, Shimada, you stay here, I'll go fill the water, this time I'll fill up both buckets."

"yes."

— Whatever you want.

Jie Zheng secretly said in his heart.

——No matter how much you torture me, I won't let go...Huh?

Jiezheng's eyes suddenly widened slowly.

Because he saw—not far in front of him, some glasses were escorting a very familiar girl.

When the glasses and the girl passed in front of Jiezheng, the girl found Jiezheng, stopped in her tracks, and turned her head to cast a surprised look at Jiezheng.

"I... seem to have seen you before. Are you from the Musketeers?"

The girl looked at Jiezheng in astonishment.

At this time, Jiezheng also looked at the girl in shock.

"You are... Iga's first light?"

Jiezheng has a very good relationship with Ah Qing who is an Iga ninja, so thanks to this relationship with Ah Qing, Jiezheng also got to know some famous people in Iga unknowingly—including Chuguang.

Chuguang is an undoubted celebrity in Igari, and almost everyone knows it—Jijiu is quite partial to Chuguang who was raised by him, and he completely cultivates Chuguang as his heir.

"Chuguang!" Jiezheng hurriedly said, "You...don't catch me too?"

He vaguely remembered that Chuguang should be in charge of staying at Longshui Temple tonight, as a messenger.

"Longshui Temple suffered a surprise attack, and all the troops staying at Longshui Temple were wiped out, Lord Jijiu and Lady Laofu were all killed..." Chuguang showed a Qi Qiran expression, "Many people including me were captured... "

Before Chu Guang finished speaking, he stood behind her and yelled sharply while escorting her glasses.

"Stop talking nonsense! Hurry up and move on!"

After being yelled at by the glasses, Chu Guang quickly shut her mouth, and continued to obediently let the glasses lead her forward.

Jie Zheng stared wide-eyed at Chu Guang, who was about to disappear from his field of vision.

"Why are you showing such an expression?" At this moment, Jie heard Asai beside him sneer, "Didn't I tell you when I took you to see Yoshiemon, whose hands we had cut off? Is it? All the troops of your Toyotomi Army in Osaka were defeated by us."

After that, Asai put the white cloth on Jiezheng's cheeks again: "Now, let us continue to feed you water."

...

After holding Chuguang to a place where Jiezheng could not see, Mamiya let out a sigh of relief:

"Thank you for your cooperation, Miss Chuguang."

"As long as it can cause trouble for Toyotomi and Iga, I'm happy to do it." Chuguang smiled meaningfully and shrugged, "Fortunately, that guy recognized me just now, if he doesn't recognize me , your plan has completely failed."

"Yes. It's really dangerous." Mamiya let out another breath, "Fortunately, he knows you. Next... let's wait slowly to see if that guy's fighting spirit will be destroyed."

...

A steady stream of water poured on Jiezheng's face again.

However, compared to the physical pain, the inner pain at this time made Jiezheng feel even more tormented.

What Chuguang said to him just now resounded uncontrollably in Jiezheng's mind over and over again.

——Longshui Temple...has been breached...? Jijiu-sama and Mrs. Lao...are both dead...?

——In this way... why Master Saimon was captured alive... it makes sense...

——Is Osaka's army... really defeated?

- No...impossible...

——But...Even Chuguang who stayed behind at Longshui Temple was captured...

Waterboarding is an extremely painful punishment.

The water was continuously poured into the mouth and nose, and the trachea and lungs were stimulated to secrete a large amount of thick nasal mucus. The nasal mucus and saliva flowed out of the mouth and nose uncontrollably, and the tortured suffered from suffocation.

It takes a firm will to survive waterboarding.

Mental defenses are a very strange thing.

As long as your will shakes a little, the psychological defense will collapse at a frightening speed.

Jiezheng is now in such a situation.

Chuguang's appearance just now, and her words just now, greatly shaken Jiezheng's will and belief, which already had some small cracks.

At this moment, a thought "surges" back and forth in Jiezheng's mind - have the troops in Osaka really been defeated?

At the moment when the will and belief are already shaken, they happen to be suffering from painful water torture.

The great pain of waterboarding made it difficult for Jiezheng to concentrate on thinking, and it also accelerated the collapse of Jiezheng's psychological defense.

Finally——Jiezheng, whose psychological defense line collapsed, completely lost the strength to contend with waterboarding.

"I said... Cough! Cough! I'll say everything!"

Jie, whose face was covered with a white cloth, was muttering indistinctly.

Hearing Jiezheng's ambiguous murmur, joy welled up on both Asai and Shimada's cheeks.

...

...

Back in time to the present——

Ogata and Atachi followed Mucun to the place where Jiezheng was tortured, and listened quietly to how they used small tricks to defeat Jiezheng's fighting spirit.

"That Chuguang agreed to help you so readily?" Ogata asked back.

"Yes." Mucun nodded, "When Mamiya went to find her, she agreed quite readily. She said: As long as it can cause trouble for Toyotomi and Iga, she is very happy to do it."

During the conversation between Ogata and Mucun, they had already arrived at the place where Jiezheng was tortured.

Because waterboarding is so painful, the tortured people often experience stress reactions and incontinence due to the excessive pain.

Although Jiezheng did not have fecal incontinence, he urinated happily, so after getting close to Jiezheng, the unpleasant smell of urine continuously penetrated into his nostrils.

Ogata and others were the last to arrive.

Gourd and his party, Fuma, Azuki, and Isshika, who had just rested in a certain room, are all gathered together now.

Seeing that Ogata and A-Machi had arrived, Genichi greeted Ogata and A-Machi briefly, and then squatted down beside Jiezheng.

"Okay." Yuan Yi said, "Tell me everything you know. Don't miss anything."

Jie Zheng, who looked disheartened and hopeless, drooped his head and spoke weakly.

"I... don't know Kinoshita Rin..."

"I'm not too sure about the task of capturing Lin Kinoshita alive..."

"But I remember... Is the 16th group ordered to go to Maruyama Town tonight to perform a special secret mission... The content of the mission... seems to be to catch someone... and then take that person to Koyasan..."

After hearing the two place names "Maruyama Town" and "Koyasan", the whole group of Huluya headed by Genichi exchanged glances, and then turned their eyes back to Jiezheng.

"...How much do you know about the Toyotomi Clan's stronghold in Koyasan?" Genichi asked, "No matter how capable the Toyotomi Clan led by Nobuhide is, it is impossible to assimilate the entire Koyasan into his own people. Which places in Koyasan are the strongholds of the Toyotomi Clan? Is there a place on Koyasan dedicated to confine people?"

"I... have never been to Koyasan's stronghold... Koyasan is... Lord Toyotomi's most important stronghold in Japan..."

"It's not that people of my... level can come in and out at will..."

"I only know... the abbot of Xianyuan Temple in Koyasan... Master Xianyuan is our ally..."

"...It seems that your mouth is still very hard." Asai silently picked up the water bottle at his feet.

"I... didn't lie..." Jiezheng's body trembled, "I'm really not familiar with Koyasan..."

"...Then let's change the question." A thoughtful look appeared on Yuan Yi's face, "How many troops is currently deployed by Nobuhide on Mount Koya?"

"This... I don't know... I only know that Toyotomi-sama has deployed a large number of Iga ninjas for security at various important points on Mount Koya..."

"So, apart from the Musketeers and Iga Ninjas, does Nobuhide have other armed forces under his command?" Genichi continued to ask.

"I don't know about this...I'm just a middle-level cadre in the Musketeer...I really don't know many things..."

"...That's true." Genichi sighed lightly, then stood up slowly, "Asai, you take this guy down for now."

Asai responded, then walked to Jiezheng's side, ready to drag him away.

But at this moment——

"I have a question for you."

The speaker - Ogata.

Asai stopped tugging on Jiezheng's hand, and cast bewildered eyes on Ogata together with the others.

"A few days ago, Isshiki Naoshu and his son and daughter-in-law of the Isshiki Sword Gym were captured by your Toyotomi army." Ogata asked word by word, "Do you know where they were taken?"

As soon as Ogata asked this question, Isshika, who was standing not far from Ogata, immediately froze in place.

"Isshiki...I seem to...have a little impression...Before, Master Lou Luo seemed to be ordered to transfer someone away...but where they were transferred...I don't know..."

"...Thank you for your answer." Ogata said lightly, "I have no other questions to ask, Asai, drag this guy away."

Asai nodded, and dragged Jiezheng away like a dog.

After Asai came back, Shimada said in a deep voice:

"Maruyama Town... that's where the lord was taken away..."

"Hmm..." Mamiya nodded, "Combining all the information we know so far...the lord is really very likely to have been captured to Mount Koya."

"Tsk...Damn..." Mucun scratched his hair vigorously, and burst into a swear word, "I was caught in such a troublesome place..."

"There is still too little information..." Yuan Yi frowned slightly, "Nobuhide's deployment of forces on Koya Mountain, the location of the stronghold... there is no information at all."

"Let's not talk about the deployment of Toyotomi Nobuhide's troops and the location of his stronghold on Mount Koya." Mamiya added silently, "We don't even know the terrain and conditions of Mount Koya. We don't even know where Sengenji Temple is located on Mount Koya." have no idea."

"Mamiya." Mucun asked, "Haven't you memorized the map of Koyasan before?"

"Don't treat me like a god." Mamiya gave Mucun a look, "I don't believe in Buddhism, and I have never been to Koyasan before. I don't even know how many temples there are in Koyasan."

"Is there a shop selling Koyasan maps near here?" Shimada asked.

"The citizens of Osaka have already run away." Asai's mouth slightly pulled down, "You want to buy and there is no place to buy it."

When the whole group of Gourd House is there, you talk to me, and I talk to you——

"……that……"

A pleasant female voice, a little unfamiliar to everyone in the Calabash House, abruptly inserted into their conversation.

After the eyes of Yuanyi and the others flickered in surprise a few times, they followed the sound and looked at the owner of the female voice just now.

Bearing everyone's gaze, Isshika couldn't help but put a bit of nervousness on her face. After swallowing her saliva and taking a deep breath to calm down the tension, she said slowly:

"I... have been to Koyasan many times..."

"Although I dare not say that I am very familiar with Mount Koya."

"However, I know the general topography of Koyasan, as well as... the location of major temples such as Xianyuan Temple..."
