Mino stared blankly at the ceiling, muttering in despair, "Is this what a bed-thump is...? And why are there lights on..."
Out of the corner of her eye, Mino glanced at a patch of text that had suddenly lit up in the void and paused for a moment.
After Migo's interrogation mission was interrupted, this mission remained inactive and grayed out. However, with Migo's interrogation resuming, the mission has reappeared:
[Torture Mission: After undergoing full interrogation by the demon Migo, reveal the information]
[Reward: A once-in-a-lifetime teleport (allows you to move to the location of a designated person and place)]
"Yes!"
As if remembering something, Mino sat up abruptly.
"Ouch!" With a thud, Migo's head unexpectedly bumped into Mino's, causing her to fall onto the bed in pain. The girl's Lolita dress spread out like flowers. Migo looked up with teary eyes: "What are you doing?!"
Mino didn't react, her expression a mix of blankness and excitement, as if she had discovered some blind spot.
In the cell, he murmured to himself:
"Why don't I just confess?"
Chapter 92 My Younger Sister, the Ignorant Familiar, and My Broken Self
"what?"
Migo gasped in surprise, somewhat taken aback.
The light in Mino's eyes grew brighter and brighter. He excitedly stood up from the bed, his hands trembling:
"Yeah, why don't I just confess?"
In the corner, the Grand Historian Artotai looked up in astonishment: "Where are the details? Where the hell are the details?!?"
Mino was overjoyed. His life in the Demon King's Castle—which was like paradise... no, hell and hell—had almost made him forget about this most amazing reward he had ever received since he was born!
If I just reveal the information directly, wouldn't I avoid having to relive my dark past and be able to escape the Demon King's castle directly?!
Turning her head, Mino looked at Migo with a resolute gaze, as if she were about to join the Party: "I confess!"
"I'll confess to everything!"
Mino opened his arms wide and shouted earnestly, "Ask me anything you need to know!!!"
Migo sat blankly on the bed with her legs apart, staring at Mino's face, completely bewildered... Her interrogation hadn't even started yet?
No, no.
Migo quickly shook his head in a panic, coming to his senses. If Mino revealed information... then he wouldn't be able to interrogate him anymore, and how could he observe his important memories and find the truth from ten years ago?
According to Article 31 of the Demon King's Castle's "Torture Rules": Once the hero Mino reveals information, in order to protect the hero's physical and mental health, no further form of torture is permitted!
Article 17 of the Torture Rules: Mino the Hero may only be tortured once a day, otherwise Mino's body will not be able to withstand it.
Violating any of these rules could trigger the senses of the Book Demon Swell.
You should know that she didn't report her torture to Kletina and Swell tonight at all. If they found out and saw her looking like she was abusing a prisoner... Swell would definitely not let her continue the torture!
Tonight was a chance she had finally found, how could she let Mino ruin it like this!
"I...I don't want any information!" Migo's eyes darted around guiltily.
"He's just a lowly hero, what makes him think he can bargain with me! And the information you gave me might even be wrong!"
"I'll teach you a lesson first, then I'll interrogate you for information!"
"I...I really didn't want to torture you, humph!"
"Wait a minute!" Mino stared, mouth agape. "Aren't you using your tsundere attitude in the wrong place?!"
"My freebies are always top-notch, trust me! Really trust me!" Mino rambled on, words pouring out all at once:
"You can have any information you want... I have Prince Ota, Chief of Lak, Princess Kalia, Saint Lena, the Pope of the Holy Church, the President of the Rote Merchant Guild, the Great Sage of the Goblins, the Holy Dragon of Ice and Fire, the Dwarf Chieftain..."
"Immortals are lined up like hemp seeds?!"
In the corner, Altottai was utterly shocked:
"Are you reciting a menu? If the human camp knew they had such a huge sieve like you, they wouldn't be able to sleep at night!!!!"
Migo shook her head angrily, the white crystal on her forehead shining even brighter: "Anyway, I'm going to activate the Horned Demon's power... Don't even think about running away!"
"Do not!!!"
As Mino screamed, the four mental barriers sealing the bed emitted light and surged into Mino's body.
Immediately afterwards, the scenery outside the bed changed abruptly, covered by a layer of soft light. The prison environment was no longer there, but a wide field and meadow on all sides.
Apart from the beds where Mino and Migo were, it was as if they had left their cells and arrived in another place.
"Oh? This is... Akarin Village on the outskirts of the capital? If I remember correctly, this should be my lord's hometown, right?"
The holy sword Altottai, shrouded in a thicket, looked around curiously.
Judging from the fact that the surrounding green leaves did not sway at all, it was merely an external projection covering the area of the cell.
Migo's breathing became slightly rapid.
The scene before her eyes gave her a very familiar feeling, which meant that this must be the time when she and Mino were together. In other words, this was the village ten years ago, there was no mistake!
The timing is right; now it's up to Minho to see if she can find any clues in her memory...
Migo's cheeks flushed almost imperceptibly. She had mentally prepared herself that no matter what happened this time, she would endure the shame and finish watching the memory.
Mino, who hadn't seen such a retro scene in a long time, sat up by the bed, a hint of nostalgia flashing in her eyes.
Since there's no way to resist now, let's just be bystanders... Mino chuckled self-deprecatingly. What's the big deal? He's a renowned hero now; there's no need to dwell too much on his childish past.
Mino made up her mind to keep a calm attitude and simply laugh off whatever memories she encountered.
The white crystal on Migo's forehead emitted a faint light, as if rendering, constantly enriching the memories around him. First, it loaded the scenery, then projected the buildings, and finally... in the center of the cell, several figures coalesced into shape.
A little girl with short, bright red hair, gleaming red eyes, and a joyful expression appeared before me as she stood on tiptoe.
"Brother Mino!"
Under the sunlight, the little girl looked at the tall figure in front of her with admiration, a bright smile on her lovely face.
“It’s Shana…” Mino breathed a sigh of relief, subtly wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, and smiled with satisfaction: “Speaking of which, Shana’s mind is still quite normal at this time—she hasn’t turned into that mentally ill person she is.”
Seeing her younger sister, who wasn't wearing an eye patch or a cloak and had an innocent and adorable expression, Mino's smile gradually softened, and she turned to look at another figure:
"If Shana is so normal now, then I definitely should be too..."
As her gaze shifted, the figure in front of Shana quickly came into view, and the figure's appearance was reflected in Mino's pupils, causing Mino's words to catch in her throat.
A blond-haired boy was facing the sunlight, casting a handsome and dashing shadow.
The pitchfork, a common tool in farmland, was slung across the boy's back. He gripped the pitchfork with his right hand, as if he were about to draw a sharp sword... His back view exuded an indescribable desolation and heaviness.
A gentle breeze blew, ruffling the messy strands of hair on his forehead. The boy slowly turned around, revealing a slightly immature face.
But on that face, the boy's eyes held a deep determination and weariness, as if he possessed an experience that did not belong to this world, and carried a mission that only he could save.
Looking up at the sky, the young man sighed softly:
"My whole life has been like walking on thin ice—"
"Sana, do you think I can still get to the other side?"
click!
Mino, whose heart had been as still as water, suddenly turned terrifyingly red-eyed, and the sound of his back teeth grinding together erupted as he roared in exasperation:
"Die! I'm going to kill this bastard!!!"
Chapter 93 Cute Name or Cool Name?
"calm down!"
Beside the bed, Migo hugged Mino tightly around the waist, saying in a panic, "If we leave this area, our abilities will stop working... and we'll have to waste time starting all over again."
Migo's heart nearly pounded. She was so lucky to have projected a familiar time period of memories. If Mino had suddenly removed her power and forced her to start over, she might have missed the most crucial clue!
In her panic, Migo even forgot to use her magic to control Mino.
After much persuasion, Mino finally sat down, her heavy breathing rising and falling.
Memories projected.
Wow~~~~!
Seeing the boy's appearance, little Shana, whose head only reached his waist, had starry eyes and started jumping up and down with admiration.
"Brother Mino, you're so handsome!"
Under the sunlight, Mino remained silent, only striking different cool poses.
Finally, the boy straightened his back, gently waved his right hand, flicked the non-existent cloak behind him, and said in a deep voice, "I can sense that darkness has arrived!"
"Humanity is facing an unprecedented crisis, and only I, the sacred sword that does not belong to this world, can save it!!!"
"And my strongest familiar, Saint Beast Terminator!"
As soon as the words were spoken, Migo shuddered.
At Mino's feet, a small dog-like creature with two horns circled around, its body emanating an extremely subtle spiritual aura.
Hmph... So this is what I was like as a child? My power is quite formidable...
Migo's expression held a hint of superiority. To possess such pure spiritual power at such a young age, and even be close to condensing an energy core crystal, meant that he could probably roam freely among mid-level monsters in the entire monster realm.
Suddenly, the monster in the projection raised its head sharply, a cold glint flashing in its eyes, and in the next instant, it pounced towards a bush!
"What happened?" Migo asked in surprise.
Why would I need to take an enemy so seriously? What have I discovered?
A fierce howl came from the bushes, and with a violent tremor, the monster, having just survived a brutal battle, leaped out.
A long-bearded, grayish-white mouse was dangling from the corner of its mouth.
"Not bad." Looking down at his familiar's impressive spoils, the boy nodded with satisfaction.
"You have actually defeated the evil and sinister Shadow-Eating Beast, a feat beyond your level! Saint Beast Terminator, the power within you is awakening along with mine!!!"
