Under Mu Sheng Xi, the interrogation didn't actually last that long.
The youth was able to speak properly and managed to tell the truth about what actually happened. Even though he was also threatened to tell about why he joined, which was actually a crime.
They learned how these people were tasked to kill those closest to them if they wanted to get away safely without anyone knowing the truth.
And it did happen.
They were brought away and no one could find them anymore because they were staying within a secluded valley.
There were a lot of things they were ordered to do afterwards.
"Kill the one closest to you." Mu Sheng Xi's heart turned cold when he looked at the report he had written. Even though he was the one who write it, he still felt that it was really inhuman to make them do something like that.
"They're trying to make these people cross their own bottom line." Feng Ao Kuai handed the copy of the report to the servants. They had to give the report for both the governor and also General Wei. "That way, they would have no way out even if they eventually regret their decision to join this."
"Indeed."
If they killed their own family member, they wouldn't have any place to return. But for many of them, they were faced with the choices of bearing the criminal name for their entire life.
Not all of them would be able to withstand it.
The sheer pressure from that fact alone had made them cower, thus they decided to do anything as long as they could get away.
This was the result.
Even when they got away, their lives were not any better than when they were living as prisoners. In fact, it might be worse considering that their lifespan wouldn't be longer than a year of time if they didn't stop consuming the drugs.
"What's our plan next?" Feng Ao Si asked.
"We'll ask that youth to show the way." Mu Sheng Xi rubbed his head.
Feng Ao Kuai furrowed his eyebrows. "Don't you find it strange for him to be the only one to have lower drugs in his system?"
The others were all already too late to save.
Nan Hua had checked on all of them, including the one who had broken bones because he was crushed by Feng Ao Si. Based on her diagnosis, there was no way these people could last longer.
Thus, one person having much lower concentration of the drug naturally piqued their interest. It was impossible for him not to.
"Even if I do find it strange, what other option do I have?" Mu Sheng Xi asked back.
They didn't have any other clues.
The people who suddenly turn crazy didn't show their strange behavior just recently. In fact, no one felt that they were strange and they didn't even show anything new for the past few weeks.
