The Silly Alchemist Chapter 97 – The Interrogation (1)

Edited by Ilesyt, Oberon

“Don't you feel ashamed…” The group of people hiding in the dark room were looking at him and felt ashamed of his behavior. However, Ye Lang still looked like he was enjoying it and felt that he was cool!

“Well, you are all good people, so... Do you know each other?” Ye Lang asked.

“No, we have never met!” The thirteen people there immediately shook their heads and denied.

Slap! Ye Lang picked up a wood block and slammed it on the table, shocking everyone.

“Don't lie. If you don't know each other, why did you get sent into the prison together and flatter me as one? It is clear that you are a group!” Ye Lang claimed that these people knew each other, and now he treated them unjustly. “You all commited the crime of conspiracy and rebelling. You deserve the death penalty!”

“No, we didn't do so. How can we dare to do so!” The thirteen people were shocked and replied. It seems that Thirteenth young master wasn't our savior, but has come here to end our lives. We are done.

And at this time, if you were careful enough, you could find that several people among them looked different...

“Look at you. Your faces tell me that you dare to do so. Your face screams 'We betrayed the country!' Well... This case has been solved, pull them out and cut their heads off!” Ye Lang said casually.

“...” This brat, what does he intend to do by doing this?

The Emperor and others intended to stop him, but having arrived to the current situation, they couldn't show themselves!

“Thirteenth young master, don't just kill us like that. None of us are from Soaring Sky Empire, so even if we planned to rebel, we wouldn't do that here!” One of them said with anxiety.

“Oh, so you just planned to rebel in your own country. That's none of our business. But you just said that you don't know each other. How do you know that they are not from Soaring Sky Empire? "Ye Lang smilingly looked at the man.

“That's because…”

“We got to know each other after being sent here.” The other person lied.

“So you do know each other. You dare lie to me when I am here on behalf of the Emperor, which means you also lied to the Emperor, so you deserve the death penalty. You will have to die!” Ye Lang said with a smile.

“...”

“If you don't want to die, tell me the truth. I do not have much time!” Ye Lang flicked his fingers, showing how relaxed he was.

“What do you want to know?”

“Tell me why you came here. You all came here from different countries and even stayed together. Don't tell me you came here just for a visit!” Ye Lang said.

“I don't understand. In this imperial city, there are many travelers like us. You can find one thousand and eight hundred travelers easily.z” said the man.

“Yes. I can find many foreigners, but it is unusual to catch so many strong-minded people like you. You don't need to tell me your ident.i.ties. However, you need to know that if ordinary people were caught and tortured, they would even betray their countries in exchange for survival and wealth!” Ye Lang said while looking at them.

“There may be a coincidence if only one man is so strong-minded, but all thirteen of you are so tough, so it is absolutely not a coincidence!”

“...”

“Well, we know that you are spies, but your lives can be spared. I want to know... in the end, how many of our secrets do you know? If you know too many, then I am sorry, but you have to stay here!” Ye Lang said very calmly.

“We know nothing. Even if you question us again, the answer is the same!” One man said.

“Oh, really? Then I ask you a question. What does one plus one equal?” Ye Lang smiled and asked.

“...” At this moment, everyone was in a daze for a while, and they didn't understand why Ye Lang asked such a question. Did he do so in order to test them, or to loosen their vigilance?

“You don't know this?” Ye Lang's face looked serious.

“I have no idea…” The man was very cautiously, a bit too cautiously. But at this moment, he thought that even if Ye Lang asked him whether he was male or not, he shouldn't answer him.

Otherwise, who knows what Ye Lang will do!

Ye Lang looked at the man, and then very directly said: “You don't know this? Are you kidding me! Come on, take him out and cut his head off!”

“...” All of them were in a daze again..

At this moment, the Emperor and the others understood that Ye Lang found an excuse to kill him. Although this reason was not really good, they could achieve the goal and they accepted it.

But those people didn't understand it. If that man died due to such a reason, wasn't it arbitrary murder ?

“Go on, take him away and cut his head off. Bring his head back to let them have a look. I am not joking!” Ye Lang flicked his fingers and said indifferently.

“Yes!” The guards followed the order and took the man away who was crying for help, and then...

His crying stopped suddenly, and then the guards brought the man's head back. Ye Lang did not look at it, perhaps because he couldn't stand it. Perhaps he didn't need to do so!

The person was really dead. The twelve people began to fear him… They thought that Ye Lang was joking with them. They had never heard that Ye Lang didn't value the lives of people.

“Now, I ask you again, why did you come here? This is the last chance, and I will not ask you again!” Ye Lang said.

“We… ” Among those people, some were hesitant.

“We won't tell you. Give it up!” Some were not afraid of death, because they had been trained well.

“Oh, the same question. You answer it. What does one plus one equal?” Ye Lang smiled and said to the man.

“Two, don't ask such a silly question again.” Said the man with arrogance.

“You know too much! Come and cut his head off!” Ye Lang waved his hand and said.

“...” Everyone was in silence...

f.u.c.k, know too much? Everyone knows the answer...

“Whatever… ” That man said coldly, and showed his indifference.

“Don't bring his head back, and take this one away. It's too disgusting.” Ye Lang added..

“You... Do you know what one plus one equal?” Ye Lang smiled and asked.

“Ah… ” Some people began to clutch their heads and became mad. It seemed that the simple question Ye Lang asked them with a smile made them crazy.

Not to mention these people, even those in the dark room also didn't want to hear Ye Lang ask this question!

“I'll tell you. I was ordered to come here, but I was just asked to make some observations and the leader said someone would tell me what to do next, that person would be the one that can say the secret signal.” One man began to tell the truth, but his information was not so important.

“And you?” Ye Lang continued to ask.

“We have the same answer!” Some people said.

“Hmph, you are all chickens. Are you really spies?” A few people said with pride.

“Well, I admire your integrity, you can leave now!” Ye Lang said to those lofty men. To their surprise, they were allowed to leave.

“You're letting us go?” They blankly said.

“Yeah. Go, before I change my mind!” Ye Lang frowned and said. It seemed to be a difficult decision.

They left without saying anything else, and everyone knew that Thirteenth young master was an unusual man. But so long they could survive, they did not have any need to find out the reason. Otherwise, they would break down.

“What about us?” Asked those who had compromised.

“Since you admitted that you are spies, I naturally cannot let you go. You will be treated well in our imperial prison and you can feel at ease there until the end of your life!” Ye Lang said, and then put these people into the prison.

“Ah… ” No one knew why Ye Lang did so, he seldom followed the routine.

He let those who deserved imprisonment leave but put those who should be set free into the prison!

“Well, take them away!” Ye Lang knocked on the table to order the guards to take away those poor spies. He stayed in the hall alone.

At this moment, he did not leave, but sat down and leaned against the chair.

“What is he doing? Why is he staying here?” The Emperor and the others had intended to leave since the matter was done, but now they found that Ye Lang behaved in a very strange way.

As far as they know, Ye Lang would usually be the first to leave as soon as the matter was over. He wouldn't stay there, unless there was something unresolved!

Something was unresolved?

Yes. Soon, the guards outside brought two men over, making everyone understand that it wasn't over!

Moreover, the two men were not those who showed arrogance, but were those who should have died, because theoretically, their heads had been cut off. In fact, the man standing in the middle should have been dead, since everyone had seen his head.

The two men were exactly those who had just been pulled out to to have their heads severed based on Ye Lang's order!

“How can this be? I saw his head very clearly, why doesn't he have any injury?” The Emperor and others were curious. The head was not covered by anything and was clearly showed to everyone.

“Take them to the single cells, and don't let anyone contact them!” Ye Lang said. “Aiyo, I am not cruel enough to kill you. Let others do that!”

Ye Lang thought that in the end, even if he just pretended to kill them, this made him feel bad. That's why he did things in a smart way to make people believe that he killed them. In the end, he still achieved his goal.

Of course, he had secretly communicated with some royal guards in advance, so that they took action according to his plan.

“He must have taken advantage of alchemy to make a fake head which looks like a real one!” Ye Chengtian said with a smile, full of pride.

“Yes, it must be that!” Everyone followed up.

At this moment, everyone believed it was the end, but they found that Ye Lang gave a another more exciting performance.

A while after the two were taken away, the guards brought one of them back again. This man had been the first to oppose Ye Lang, and was the second to be taken away.
