Chapter 1037 Do You Understand?
I looked at the three of them coldly and thought to myself: Is this a conditioned reflex?
A mouse is placed in a small box, and an electric current sufficient to cause it pain but far from fatal is passed through the walls of the box.
At the beginning, the mouse would test the walls of the box in various ways and try to find the exit, but every time it touched the wall of the box, it would be stung by an electric current.
After a while, the mice will slowly give up testing the walls of the box.
After a while, even if the wall of the box is removed and the mice are pecked with small wooden sticks, the mice will not be willing to take even a small step closer to the wall of the box.
If the mouse is forcibly pushed toward the wall of the box, the mouse will even react violently.
This is conditioned reflex.
As for the three people in front of them, after hearing the sound of silver nails hitting the table, they would most likely unconsciously recall the previous torture process and the lingering shadow of pain in their minds.
It's hard to imagine how terrifying Ren's torture was, how it could train three grown men to the point of being almost neurotic in just one night.
Seeing this scene, the Elf Queen frowned slightly, moved closer to me, and said, "Mr. An Xiaoyi, are you sure the three of them still have normal expression ability?"
"I'm sure, Your Majesty," I said calmly, "it's just that the three human traffickers received a little mental and physical punishment before and became a little timid."
I threw the silver nail on the table, and the silver nail and the table made a louder sound again. The bodies of the three traffickers stiffened, and their sobbing stopped instantly.
The silence lasted only a few seconds before the three traffickers began to talk nervously.
Three people, three mouths, three different voices, three different self-narrations.
These three sounds blended together, making the listeners confused and confused.
The Elf Queen frowned and glanced at the elders around her. Elder Mai Sonoda turned cold and shouted sternly: "Come here, pull two of them out!"
When the guard's hand just grabbed the trafficker's body, the three traffickers huddled together instantly, trembling all over, and kept muttering: "Don't torture us anymore, we say, we all say, please Please, please."
After hearing the three people talking clearly, I couldn't help but become more curious about Ren's torture method.
After the guards dragged the two traffickers out of the living room who were howling heart-breakingly, the hall instantly became much quieter.
The Elf Queen glanced at me, and I nodded to her. She looked back at the human trafficker's frightened face, and said calmly: "Tell me everything you know."
The trafficker was trembling all over as he told everything he knew. He even shook off the story of when he was a child and stole money to go to the casino.
However, the Elf Queen was not interested in these trivial matters of childhood and youth. When she heard the traffickers talking about the Carter royal family in Airey City wanting to purchase the children of the Elf tribe as slaves, a flash of light flashed in her eyes. A touch of anger and murderous intent.
However, this emotion only fleetingly passed, and she returned to her original indifferent expression, as if nothing had happened.
When the first trafficker ran out of words, the Elf Queen waved her hand, and the guards dragged him down. When he was dragged down, he was in the same state as the previous two traffickers, both crying and howling.
Immediately afterwards, the second trafficker was sent back. After a brief period of panic and sobbing, he also began to talk about himself.
After this, there is the third trafficker.
After the three human traffickers explained everything, the Elf Queen ordered people to temporarily take them into custody, and then closed the door of the living room.
The Queen said: "Mr. An Xiaoyi, you should have known the self-reports of these three traffickers before, right?"
I nodded: "Yes, Your Lady Queen, I know everything."
"Since we all know, it means that you have also heard what they said about 'The Carter family wants to buy elven children as slaves'?"
I continued to nod: "Yes."
The Elf Queen looked serious and said: "Mr. An Xiaoyi, do you know that this matter is likely to affect the long-lasting peaceful relationship between Moonlight City and Airui City?"
"Peace?" I shook my head: "With all due respect, Your Lady Queen, there is no such thing as peace between every town in the Zephyr Continent. What you call peace is actually just the absence of a war. , this can only be regarded as the result of accommodation and compromise at best."
"You mean accommodation and compromise?" Elder Sonoda Wu glared and said, "Do you know who you are talking to in front of? An Xiaoyi, you are really presumptuous."
The Elf Queen raised her hand, and Elder Mai Sonoda shut her mouth, but still stared at me with her eyes.
The Queen said calmly: "Mr. An Xiaoyi, since you said that we are just accommodating and compromising, can you please explain why you feel this way?"
"Isn't it obvious?" I spread my hands and said, "If Your Majesty the Queen really loves the people as your own children and hates evil as much as hatred, you will definitely punish the three human traffickers to death. At the same time, you will also be incompatible with the boss behind the human traffickers." , but you didn’t do this, so I guess you may have guessed from the beginning who is behind these human traffickers, and you have also guessed what these human traffickers want to do when they kidnap their own people. What, but you didn’t take any large-scale or substantive actions, you just asked the people of the Rose Legion who manage the security of the town to act independently. I’m afraid your actions are contrary to what Aimin said.”
Elder Sonoda Wu shouted sternly: "An Xiaoyi, you are so presumptuous that you actually talk to Her Majesty the Queen like this, come on."
Without waiting for the guards to come over, the Elf Queen first waved her hand, drove the guards away, and then said to me: "You are right, Mr. An Xiaoyi, I have indeed guessed the motives and purposes of the three traffickers in kidnapping our children. I also guessed that there might be a high-ranking person behind them. At the same time, I also made the request that no large-scale actions be allowed. It was just to prevent human traffickers from jumping over the wall and committing extreme actions that would be regrettable. But there is one thing. You have misunderstood me. It is not that I have no substantial actions. The Rose Legion is the largest guild in Moonlight City and is also a guild directly affiliated with the Elf Royal Family. They have permissions that other guild members do not have and can enter any place in Moonlight City. At the same time, they are also the guild that has penetrated the most among the people of Moonlight City. They can easily obtain the most authentic information from the people. Only those who meet these conditions are most likely to find the lost children. ,Do you understand it?"
