Chapter 374: Chapter 13: The Emergence of the Spiritual Spring Space_2
Apple.
Apple!
At this moment, Song You gritted her teeth in hatred, unable to stop resenting this useless Spiritual Spring Space in her hand.
If only it were like those spaces in novels, where she had a cultivation method strong enough to protect herself, if only it could give her powerful superpowers, if only it could block the signals of micro-bombs...
In such a broken space, she had enjoyed nothing, yet now she was about to have her bones crushed—so painful!
It truly hurt so much!
She had never experienced such pain; this was torture, this was torment!
Yet the hand of Chu River grasping her hair didn’t loosen at all, and his foot lifted once more, hesitating back and forth on her shin bone:
"Do you prefer it broken in half from the middle, or shattered bit by bit?"
The voice was steady, without mockery or contempt, just asked very casually.
However, Song You was no warrior.
She could not endure such pain.
The Spiritual Spring could heal everything, if only they had used such means when she was first captured, perhaps she would have held on, clutching hatred.
But now, the long silence of a black-room confinement had ground down her spirit, the micro-bomb controlled her, preventing escape, her body and mind were both damaged, today’s last-ditch effort being overturned entirely...
She finally broke down, sobbing:
"I’ll talk, I’ll talk, this is the Spiritual Spring Space, it can produce Spiritual Spring daily, this is what attracted the flying insects..."
The physical pain persisted, but Chu River’s foot had already withdrawn, her forehead drenched in cold sweat, tears and snot streaming, she desperately pleaded for a glimmer of life:
"Don’t kill me, don’t kill me...the space is bound to me, as long as you don’t kill me, I’ll cooperate with whatever...I’ll take everything from the space out..."
Chu River released her hair, yet Song You didn’t have the strength to crawl away.
Her ankle and foot bones were completely shattered, yet the skin and flesh remained utterly unharmed. Now the intense pain reached her marrow, making her want to roll wretchedly on the ground.
Yet the demon before her did not spare her for her pleading.
"It hurts, doesn’t it?"
Chu River squatted down: "But on that day when a swarm of insects gnawed at my spirit, I hurt even more."
Song You was already drenched in cold sweat, but still her eyes widened: "You, you didn’t lose your memory..."
Chu River remained unperturbed, righteously: "Though I have no memory, I can speculate. If it didn’t hurt, why would I lose my memory?"
The words made undeniable sense.
...
However, Song You seemed to see a glimmer of hope and clutched her hem tightly:
"Please, I won’t target Li Chang’an anymore, I won’t have any illusions about Lei Yu, whatever you want from the space, I’ll give it to you right away, I’ll cooperate with the base, anything..."
She cried miserably: "Please let me go...it hurts so much..."
But Chu River fixed his eyes on her fair, delicate hands: "Li Chang’an is still too soft-hearted, sending you to the laboratory, and you still remain unharmed—not at all, we’ve explored all aspects of you, including your brain, and found no indication of a space not considered a superpower in your body."
"But it doesn’t matter, they talk about law and human rights, I do not."
"Since the space ability is bound to you, it surely has a medium, perhaps not in the body but in the spirit. When you bleed enough to blur your mind, maybe...I will find it."
With that, he stretched out his right hand, grabbing directly at Song You’s smooth, tender calf.
As his five fingers suddenly clenched, a terrifying cracking sound resounded.
Song You only felt a piercing pain instantly entering her soul and brain, tautening her entire body in an instant, leaving pitiful scratches of struggle on the ground.
This time, she couldn’t even scream, only emitting faint, sympathetic moans.
...
No one was foolish enough to support Song You, the human enemy; when the insects arrived, everyone was prepared to die in the base.
They survived because they risked so much, not due to Song You’s mercy.
The assembly gradually dispersed with the coveted apple benefits, yet at the same time, Chu River, dragging Song You as if carrying garbage to a dump, led the crowd into the sealed laboratory.
Song You groaned in pain along the way, struggling feebly.
When she returned to this familiar laboratory, her spirit was on the verge of collapse, terrified of the painful torment that might follow.
Ultimately, there was an audience on the stage, but here, apart from the guards, experimenters, and Li Chang’an, Lei Yu, there was only the demon, Chu River.
