Chapter 1263 Tomorrow

"died?"

The moment he received this result, Temperance fell into a state of confusion and vaguely understood something.

Why is the other party seeking death regardless of their own safety? Why is the other party so impatient to challenge the Holy City...

He ran out of time.

In fact, it doesn't matter even if the Holy City is left alone and dies.

There will be no change in his ending.

I can only watch death approaching day after day and die in despair.

If it were in the past, Temperance might have clapped in celebration, happily applauded, and sincerely hoped that the other party would die in some unknown gutter.

But now, after the adjuster was arrested... he realized that he couldn't just watch him die like this.

Only a lively mediator is valuable.

Only living mediators can prove the power and justice of the Holy City.

Whether it is to put him on the pillar of shame of failure forever, or to tame him into a loyal dog that obeys orders and becomes a weapon and tool for the giants.

Or, just leave it there, there are countless ways to create value.

However, even though Huaishi has thrown himself into a trap now, Jiejie finds that he has no way to start...

All means are of no use.

Use stimulants and drugs to soften the opponent's will?

Is it useful? That kind of thing, a lower dose would only give him pain relief, but a higher dose might kill him directly.

Punishment and torture? Even more ridiculous. When he was alive, every breath he took was torture, and every moment was in the hell he created with his own hands.

The ordinary method is no different from giving him a massage. But even if there was a way that could bring him enough pain without endangering his life... would he really be afraid?

Use torture of body and soul to make the adjuster bow.

It's really, really ridiculous...

Temperance stared at the prisoner on the screen and whispered softly: "Is this your purpose, Huaishi?"

On the projection screen, someone said with a smile: "I was just a mediator in the past. Now I am just a prisoner. Why bother so much..."

Before he could finish speaking, Temperance had already turned around.

The cold eyes swept over those happy faces, causing the words to stop abruptly.

"Prisoner?"

He said coldly, "The prisoners you call are a serious problem for the entire Holy City. They have destroyed countless achievements we have made and brought the Holy City's chain of order to the brink of collapse twice in a row!"

"You haven't figured it out yet!" Temptation asked angrily, "Without the support of Eternal Paradise, we would all be defeated by him!"

In the silence, everyone looked at each other, and someone asked doubtfully: "But... didn't we win?"

win?

Temperance could barely stop laughing.

Did you win?

It's him who stopped playing, idiot!

"I need to talk to him."

Temperance turned back and looked at the warden: "Arrange it immediately."

The warden trembled, nodded vigorously, and ran away as fast as he could escape.

.

Ten minutes later, behind the thick bulletproof glass and protected by more than a dozen modifiers, Temperance sat on the other side of the interrogation room, heavily guarded.

Even so, he still gave instructions: If he was kidnapped, everyone would shoot immediately without taking himself into consideration.

However, when Huai Shi's hood was lifted, he realized that his worries were so ridiculous.

On the interrogation chair at the other end, the prisoner was already dying, and he no longer even had the strength to raise his head.

Just reluctantly, with heavy breathing, he raised his eyes slightly.

So declining.

But his lips were still slightly raised, as if he were smiling.

Waiting for his arrival.

Control's body tensed up for a moment, and he was subconsciously vigilant. Then he relaxed again and looked at the prisoner's embarrassed appearance. After a long time, he let out a sigh of regret.

"First meeting, Mr. Huaishi."

Temperance approached the microphone and greeted politely: "If you think about it carefully, this is the first time we face each other. I didn't expect it to be in a place like this."

At the other end, with the infusion of bits and pieces, illusory vitality seemed to fill the body again, making Huaishi finally raise his head, open his eyes, and look this way.

But he could no longer see anything. In the blur, he could only see groups of faint colors.

Soon, he gave up this meaningless behavior and just wondered: "Huh? Are you no longer asked about your name and age? Or... what do you call me?"

"Andre," said Temperance.

"another."

Huai Shi leaned on the chair and shook his head slightly: "I'm asking for another name."

"Temperance, the snake of temperance." The ruler said: "Some people also call me the Cruel Messenger and the Lord of Fire Eyes, but those are all in the past, don't worry about it."

"I seem to have an impression..."

Huai Shi thought for a moment and asked uncertainly: "I remember that he is a subordinate of Bo Xun, the Element of Destruction?"

"The element of destruction, ah, this is how you call the Holy Lord in this situation. Indeed, you are right."

Jie Jie laughed at himself and sighed: "However, I used to be just a seeker and not in such a close position. But now, thanks to the current situation, I am just a homeless wild dog, so embarrassed."

"Don't be so depressed."

The corners of Huai Shi's lips raised, as if to comfort her: "Isn't this an offer of the Elysium?"

Covered by scattered hair, the pale face let out a hoarse laugh.

Contains contempt and ridicule.

"You elite executives, even if your company goes bankrupt, there are still plenty of positions in other companies for you to choose from. You can continue to sing and dance, and maybe you can donate some more money to avoid taxes. Why do you have to be so pitiful?"

Temperance is still calm, just spreading his hands, "But after all, it's not as comfortable as the original home, right?"

It's like a casual conversation.

The ruler leaned back on his chair, lit the cigar at the corner of his mouth, took a deep breath, and sighed softly.

"If you think about it carefully, since the fall of Qingjing, I have been homeless again."

The old ruler stared at the rising smoke, as if seeing the long time in the past: "My kingdom is buried in hell, my gods are buried in the abyss... I am left alone, like a wild dog. , wandering around with little ability.

Stumbling, ups and downs, until now, even though he has a reputation of scaring people, all he has done is make ends meet. "

"Look, unlike heroes like you, I never have a choice." He smiled helplessly and spread his hands: "Even if everyone has different positions, why do you mock me like this, Huai Shi? gentlemen?"

"Probably because... you gave up, right?"

Inside the cage, the bound prisoner finally raised his eyes and glanced at him, looking down at his enemy with arrogance and contempt:

"To hell..."

Silence fell suddenly.

The restrained smile stopped on his face.

Silence, no more words.

Those pretentious kindnesses and empty smiles gradually dissipated, and in the end, only indifference and gloom were left.

"Are you laughing, Mr. Temperance?"

On the other side of the interrogation room, Huai Shi asked curiously: "Why do I feel that we are so much more real now? I think, maybe, this is about being honest with each other, right?"

Temperance stubbed out the cigar and twisted it on the table until the cigar was crumpled to smithereens.

"Astronomical Society, Utopia, I've heard of you - Huai Shi, you are exactly what the rumors say, just existing is an eyesore.

Relying on the existence of the current situation, he looks unattainable and arrogant, but he never looks at the tragic fate that will bring about, nor does he care about the final result. "

Temperance shook his head: "Unfortunately, your farce is over."

"No matter what your purpose is, what plans you have, what you want to do when you come here, everything from now on has nothing to do with you.

You have completely failed-"

He waved his hand and projected the photos and reports on the screen, not caring whether the other party could see it: "Your subordinates have been killed and wounded under your orders, and your religious order has fallen apart in the siege of the Holy City.

Maybe you have other allies, some plans or luck.

But your failure will not change anything. This is your ending, Huai Shi. "

"..."

In the long and long silence, Huai Shi did not speak, but just widened his eyes, as if trying hard to see the reports and photos clearly.

Finally, he suddenly whispered: "That's it,"

Just like waking up from a long dream and recalling everything in the dream, I just looked at the familiar faces in the pool of blood with pity.

I feel sorry for their deaths, but I don't feel any regret for my own results.

"Although these are all expected things, seeing it with your own eyes still makes you a little sad."

Huaishi regretted, as if sighing: "This is not a big deal, Mr. Temperance. If the flames don't burn away the old things, where will the fertile soil for farming be tomorrow?"

Now it’s just myself that’s being burned, so why should I be surprised? "

"tomorrow?"

Temperance sneered, "I haven't heard such a word in a long time. What is it?"

"Probably, it's a dream that only exists in the current world."

Huai Shi thought about it for a long time, but didn't know how to explain it to him. She choked and laughed out loud: "This city has no place for tomorrow, so you never thought that tomorrow would come."

"You took those things away."

Before closing his eyes, he looked at his interrogator for the last time. Those empty pupils were so cold, like an empty hell, burning with fire.

"——This is the crime you committed."

Five minutes later, the door closed behind Temperance.

After passing all the checks, Temperance finally returned to the control room again.

The giants who witnessed the whole process are still arguing.

"I have said before that there is no room for exploitation of a guy like that."

"Keeping it is more useful than killing it. As long as you are alive, there is always value."

"Value or hidden danger?" Someone sneered: "What if one day he escapes from prison? Will there be another turmoil?"

Some people disagreed: "Just implant the control parts. For brain surgery, doesn't Xingchen Medical have such technology?"

"That's enough, stop arguing."

Temperance frowned.

With the remaining majesty, he once again suppressed the quarreling giants.

"Brain surgery? Control parts? That's one way to go, but do you think those things are comparable to the constraints imposed by the Eternal Paradise?"

Temperance glanced at the sleeping prisoner on the screen and shook his head indifferently: "People like him carry their own dreams, only do what they like, and never care about what happens in reality."

"He will not bow to us."

After just a few minutes of meeting, the ruler had already come to the conclusion: "No matter what, we can't stay any longer."

"Prepare for judgment, everyone."

Temperance finally said, his old face full of cruelty:

“It’s time for this absurd story of the flirt to come to an end!”
