Hu Qi slowly straightened up and shook off the blood on his wrist.
At this moment, the smaller half of his clothes had turned into ashes, and with a slight movement, they fell from his body.
Wisps of faint white smoke steamed from the body.
The exposed skin and arms were covered in large blisters and scorched black, as if they had been cooked by a fierce fire.
Dark red blood flowed from the gaping wound.
These were all caused by the flames on Ired's body.
The flames didn't look big.
But after contact, you will find that the temperature contained in the live wire is extremely high.
If this kind of injury was applied to an ordinary person, he would probably lie on the ground and scream in agony.
Because this injury can be considered a severe burn.
But Hu Qi looked as if his arm was not his and could not feel any pain.
He walked over and closed the door.
Then he looked at Ired who had fainted.
Use your other hand that is still intact to pick up the dagger on the side.
The hand raised and lowered the knife, and the sound of two consecutive sharp blades breaking through the flesh resounded in the room.
The next second.
The severe pain from the severed tendons in his legs made Ired suddenly wake up from his coma.
"Ah!"
His face was covered in blood, with ferocious veins bulging, and he looked at Hu Qi in front of him with splitting eyes.
--boom!
suddenly.
The flames on the side suddenly burst into flames, and the blazing waves in the fireplace rolled like wild beasts, as if they would break through the restraints and swallow everything in the next second.
laugh!
But not until the flames came close.
A flash of cold light suddenly appeared.
Hu Qi's hand holding the dagger passed by Ired's eyes in an instant.
Ired Before he even had time to react, he felt a sharp pain coming from his left eye, and then fell into boundless darkness.
Warm liquid slid down his cheeks, and the smell of blood filled the air.
"Ah——!!!"
A heart-rending howl erupted from his throat, less like a human voice and more like the dying cry of a beast.
At the same time.
The flames in the fireplace seemed to have lost control, and suddenly exploded with a bang, shooting out several Mars.
"You, a despicable villain who only knows how to plot, have the guts to fight me head-on..."
Ired gasped violently.
His tone was full of resentment and unwillingness.
He can sense it.
Although the opponent is very strong, it is still physical and can be injured.
If the other party hadn't plotted against him and poisoned him again.
How could I, a professional who was above ordinary people, fall into the hands of the other party so easily?
This kind of thing.
It was hard for Ired, who inherited the spirit of chivalry and advocated fair duels, to accept this.
"Despicable?"
Hu Qi sneered.
Not caring at all.
The lethality of such words is zero to him.
Because if someone says this to you, it means that he will suffer at your hands.
As the profiteer, why should we feel ashamed?
After all, this is not playing house.
The means are not important, the results are the most important.
Like now.
It was the other person lying on the ground, and that was enough.
"Okay, now I ask and you answer. If you make any more unnecessary moves, believe me, I will cut off your head with a dagger before that."
Hu Qi's calm voice sounded.
at the same time.
There is also a murderous aura that is as solid as permeating his body.
Like a biting Yin Wind, the air in the room seemed to have dropped several points.
Ired, who was still screaming on the ground, trembled and stopped howling.
His only remaining bloodshot eye was full of fear, looking at Hu Qi in front of him.
He had never felt this kind of extreme killing intent from anyone before.
Even the big man he had come into contact with who claimed to have killed tens of thousands of people did not have this level of murderous intent.
Compared with the person in front of him, the other party is simply the difference between a firefly and a bright moon.
No, even, the gap may be wider.
Although such a thing as murderous aura is ethereal, it does exist.
The more creatures you kill, the more murderous you will be.
How many people has the man in front of me killed?
Think about this.
Ired A flash of fear flashed in his eyes.
However, he suppressed this fear the moment it appeared.
"Hey, if you want to kill, then kill. Is it possible that if I cooperate with you, you can let me go?"
Ired quenched the foam from his mouth, his tone mocking.
"Really? It seems he is still a tough guy."
Hear the words.
Hu Qi is not angry but smiling.
The corners of his mouth turned upward.
From a high position, Ired watched as his limbs were crippled, like human pigs.
He found a piece of rag and stuffed it into the other person's mouth.
Then he raised the dagger in his hand.
He suddenly fell down in front of Ired's horrified eyes.
"Woooo..."
The gagged roar of pain echoed in the room.
Hu Qi Along the way, it's not like I haven't encountered so-called hard-core people who are not afraid of death.
But the fear of death here refers to the situation of death at that moment.
Rather than someone who can withstand torture.
There are limits to what the human body can endure.
Continuous physical torture.
It can lead to nervous system collapse, organ failure and even death.
Even people with extremely strong willpower may lose consciousness or be forced to submit due to the failure of their body functions.
Even strong beliefs and special training may slow down the breakdown, but they cannot completely eliminate the pain.
Therefore, whether it is physical unconsciousness, psychological surrender, or complete spiritual disintegration.
There are limits to human endurance. The only difference lies in the length of time and the form of collapse, such as begging for mercy, lying, unconsciousness or mental disorder.
Facts have proved that Hu Qi's perception is correct.
It didn't take long.
Ired's eyes were no longer full of resentment, replaced by pleading and fear.
Seeing this, Hu Qi stopped.
now.
Dark red blood soaked the floor, and the strong smell of rust lingered in the confined space.
Ired's body, which was originally as burly as a bear, now looks extremely thin. This is why it is like this.
It's because the excess skin and flesh has been accurately peeled off.
Hu Qi's knife skills are extremely stable. Each knife removes fat and muscle just right, but perfectly avoids all vital points.
If a senior anatomy doctor is present, they will be amazed by this masterpiece that can be called a work of art.
The lower half of Ired's body has been transformed into a precise anatomical specimen, with bones and meridians clearly visible.
There is not a trace of excess flesh on Sen Bai's frame, and every tendon is clearly exposed to the air.
However, for this 'living specimen', this is undoubtedly a purgatory of torture.
The severe pain made his face distorted into a human shape, and a broken plea was squeezed out of his throat.
"Kill me, please!"
His chest rose and fell violently, and his eyes looked at Hu Qi with humble pleading.
He had no hope of surviving from the hands of Hu Qi. He just wanted to die quickly and end this pain as soon as possible.
Hu Qi looked indifferent and did not answer immediately. Instead, he slowly wiped the dagger with a cloth strip.
There is not even a gap on the blade of this knife, which shows that the material of this dagger is very fine.
"Answer my questions honestly."
His voice was light.
"Maybe I'll consider giving you a good time."
"Okay, you ask"
Ired Qi is like a hairspring.
"First question."
Hu Qi chuckled.
"Why did you frame Elu and insist on burning them at the stake?"
Ired answered without hesitation.
"Because... my profession is Fire Executioner. It can be advanced through the ritual of burning sinners."
Speaking of which.
He paused, as if he thought of something.
The only eye left looked at Hu Qi.
"What I didn't expect was that there would be professionals willing to pretend to be villagers."
He said this obviously because he saw that Hu Qi himself was Elu.
Although Hu Qi is disguised on the surface.
But everything Hu Qi did, as well as the unique fighting style and the Rock dagger just now, all proved the opponent's identity.
To this.
Hu Qi was noncommittal and ignored it.
He cared about something else.
"Tell me more about professionals?"
"You don't know the pros."
I heard Hu Qi ask this.
Ired looked startled.
It seems that he noticed something.
Uh-huh!
The next second.
A flash of sword light flashed.
Ired's cheek hurt.
A piece of flesh flew out directly.
"What did I ask? What did you say? Don't talk nonsense. If I find out that you dare to deceive me..."
Hu Qi looked calm.
The meaning is self-evident.
See this.
Ired thought of the pain of being bitten by pieces.
Don't dare to delay any longer.
He quickly told everything he knew about professionals.
Accompanied by Ired's narration.
This also gave Hu Qi a basic understanding of the super Mortal Body system in this world.
The extraordinary path in this world is called a professional.
This kind of professional is obviously different from the super Mortal Body series that I encountered before.
It's like a game.
Everyone can choose a different career path.
Each career path feature is different.
The equal-order divisions are called sequences here.
From low to high, they are Sequence Nine to Sequence One.
If professionals themselves want to improve their strength, in addition to daily practice meditation, they also need to take potions specially prepared for their own profession.
Then specific rituals are performed, and advancement and job transfer can be carried out only after meeting certain requirements.
For example, the professional sequence mastered by Ired is named Fire Executioner.
The initial one is Sequence Nine Arsonist.
It is necessary to complete the requirements for advancing from ordinary people to entering the sequence.
In addition to taking potions and practicing meditation, you also need to complete the advanced requirements of Arsonist:
A fire with a height of five meters should be lit and burned all night, then sit in front of the fire and look directly at the fire.
During this time, the fire cannot be extinguished, nor can you look away.
The purpose is to prove one's desire and concentration on the flame, and to use the help of potions and meditation methods to initially establish resonance with Supernatural Trait in this ritual.
After successfully advancing, there is Arsonist from Sequence Nine.
It can control fire to a certain extent for attack and defense.
The disadvantage is that it cannot create flames and can only rely on external fire sources.
However, this advancement is not necessarily successful.
The advancement of the sequence requires a lot of energy and energy from the professional. Once the requirements are not met, problems may arise due to other reasons.
To advance is to fail.
The consequences are extremely serious.
Take the case where the advanced Arsonist sequence fails.
Once it fails, the professional himself will fall into mental disorder, his whole person will spontaneously combust, and he will be burned alive by the flames.
As for the sequence after Sequence Nine Arsonist, it is named Fire Executioner.
After reaching this point.
Professionals themselves have stronger control over flames and do not need to rely on external forces at all.
Compared with Sequence Nine Arsonist, it is more than twice as powerful.
Want to get promoted.
The ritual requirement no longer involves lighting a fire.
Instead, thirty sinners need to be tried, made to admit their crimes personally, and then burned to death.
Only in this way can this ritual be completed.
While performing the ritual.
It does not matter whether I am present or not, nor does it matter whether the prisoner actually committed the crime.
What is important is that the person personally admits that he has committed the crime, and that when the execution is carried out, there must be no less than ten people watching.
This also explains why the original three people were suddenly accused of unwarranted charges when they clearly did nothing.
Ired's current state is that of a professional Sequence Nine Arsonist.
By doing this, you are preparing for the ceremony to advance to Fire Executioner.
According to Ired.
He has successfully burned ten people to death through this method.
Sequence Nine's Ired can only attack with the help of the flames in the fireplace.
If it is advanced, it becomes Fire Executioner.
Even if Hu Qi makes a sneak attack, it is unlikely to win so easily.
after.
Hu Qi asked about some other things.
To this.
Ired told everything he knew.
Of course, only Hu Qi can judge whether the information is true or false.
However, after all, the other party is just a peace officer, and his strength is only a professional who has just come into contact with the extraordinary Sequence Nine.
Information about professionals is limited.
Hu Qi Some questions Ired simply cannot answer.
soon.
over time.
The noisy sounds outside gradually stopped, and it seemed that the fire had been stopped.
And inside the room.
Hu Qi also stopped asking.
Glanced at Ired.
Although the other party's face became paler at this moment.
But there was still no sign of death.
This happens.
Hu Qi did not hit the opponent's vitals and caused heavy bleeding.
On the other hand, Ired, as a professional, has a powerful vitality that far exceeds that of ordinary people.
Finally, in Ired's pleading eyes.
Hu Qi directly reached out and inserted it into his body.
"Uh..."
The severe pain made Ired's eyes bulge.
He was just about to scold Hu Qi for being dishonest.
The next second, it was like seeing a ghost.
"You... what did you do to me?"
He could clearly feel that the Supernatural Trait belonging to Sequence Nine Arsonist in his body was rapidly passing away.
The direction of the loss is exactly from the person in front of you.
The other party is absorbing his Supernatural Trait.
This thought came up instantly.
He wanted to say something.
But he found that his own strength was disappearing.
A long while.
Modification Points+19 (5%)
A line of handwriting appeared in front of my eyes.
Hu Qi stood up.
At this moment, all the horrific burns on his body had apparently healed.
Even the scars have fallen off, revealing the fair skin underneath.
And at the same place, where Ired was, his body shrank again and turned into a mummy.
All the vitality and Supernatural Trait belonging to the opponent were plundered by Hu Qi using Heaven Seizing Technique.
It's just that compared to the militiamen who looted Rock before.
This time it will undoubtedly take longer.
However, this is normal.
After all, as an extraordinary person, the other party is not comparable to ordinary people.
--call!
Sudden.
The nearly extinguished embers in the fireplace on one side suddenly surged, and a dark red tongue of flame sprang out like a living creature, obediently wrapped around Hu Qi's palm, and turned into a suspended fireball.
He stared at the dancing flames, a strange light reflected in his eyes.
"Interesting, is this the power of 'Arsonist'?"
