After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 2690 Subject to Others
He tried to summon his sword, but as soon as he moved his finger, a sharp spike pressed against the fat on his chin.

Immediately afterwards, a voice suddenly echoed in his mind, neutral and androgynous:

“You have taken the ‘Corpse King Pill.’ From now on, you must do whatever I tell you to do; if I tell you to die, you must die.”

Corpse King Pill? Wang Lushi's heart skipped a beat. What was that?!
But he was all bark and no bite: "Do you know who I am? There are thousands of troops outside. You can't escape. Quickly untie me, and I might spare your life!"

The man seemed to smile, then suddenly said:
"Raise your right hand."

Wang Lushi suddenly raised his right hand, so fast it was like a conditioned reflex, startling himself.

"Slap yourself in the face until I tell you to stop."

So Wang Lushi started slapping himself with his right hand, slap slap slap slap...

He tried his best to control his right hand, but unfortunately, a force within his body was working hard, and every slap was full of force, without any shortcuts.

He was so ruthless to himself that Wang Lushi's face quickly swelled up like a pig's head, and his nose bled profusely.

"Stop, stop!" Wang Lushi shouted with difficulty amidst the slapping sounds, but his right hand ignored him, continuing to slap and slap...

If he doesn't stop, will he become the first person in the world to beat himself to death?

"Stop, stop... I give up, please stop!"

"stop."

The man uttered only one word, and Wang Lushi's right hand stopped moving.

"What do you want?" Because his face and lips were swollen, Wang Lushi spoke indistinctly, and his eyes were often filled with tears.

"Information on the grain transport teams that will be picked up and dispatched from Jiecheng in the next fifteen days." The man crossed his legs. "Hand it over obediently, and I won't kill you."

"I...you..." Wang Lushi's heart pounded wildly, "You're a Panlong person?"

Without further ado, the man said, "Raise your right hand."

Wang Lushi raised his right hand again upon hearing the sound.

In fact, not only was his face swollen, but his palms were also red and his fingers were congested with blood, which showed that the slap just now was very forceful and there was no skimping on the effort.

"Stop, stop!" Wang Lushi had never looked at his right hand with such trepidation. He tried to speak, but choked on his own saliva. "I can give it to you, but...can you not kill me?"

He remembered that there was a legend circulating in the Maohe Plain recently that the Panlong people specifically targeted officers like him, the Bega officers!

"It depends on your performance," the man said leisurely. "I don't kill everyone I see."

"I, uh, I need to go to the study." Wang Lushi widened his eyes, trying to see clearly, but the person was in his blind spot. Although he was sitting openly in the room, it was almost shrouded in darkness. "The documents are in the study."

The man said casually, "Then go get it. What are you waiting for?"

Wang Lushi was a little surprised. This person would let him go and get it? From the bedroom to the study, he had to pass through a corridor with guards on duty. He could take the opportunity to call for help.

But as soon as the other person finished speaking, he stood up.

To be precise, he suddenly rolled over, put on his coat, and then took out some medicine from the bedside cabinet and applied it to his face.

The Vice Minister of Agriculture had prepared the best medicine for his grandson, and Wang Lushi felt a cool sensation on his face, greatly reducing the pain. After another twenty breaths or so, the purplish discoloration on his face faded. Although his face still looked a little swollen, it was no longer a problem—how could a fat man weighing over two hundred pounds not have a swollen face?

While others have to put on a brave face to appear wealthy, he doesn't.

Then he went to open the door.

This set of movements was even more decisive and agile than Wang Shilu's own.

The feeling was incredibly strange, as if his soul was trapped inside his physical body, watching helplessly as the body moved on its own. Yet he also clearly knew that his body had become a puppet on someone else's strings, moving only when pulled.

Wang Lushi secretly channeled his inner energy, trying to regain control of his body. However, the energy dissipated as soon as it entered his meridians, like mud falling into the sea.

He watched as he pushed open the door and walked out, through the corridor, where two maids bowed to him, and he actually nodded in acknowledgment!
There were two guards ahead. Wang Lushi wanted to shout and roar, but no matter how hard he tried, his voice was stuck in his throat. He could only plead for help with his eyes.

It was still dark. The two guards were standing crookedly, and one of them was yawning while covering his mouth. When they suddenly saw their superior arrive, they were so frightened that they immediately stood up straight and saluted.

However, the officer did not reprimand them. He simply walked past them with an indifferent expression and glared at them fiercely a few times, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets. This made the two men a little uneasy, so they lowered their heads and dared not make a sound.

Strange, why would Lord Wang get up at this hour?
Wang Lushi stared at the tops of the two guards' heads, his heart churning with bitterness. Tomorrow! If he could live to see tomorrow, he would definitely throw these two clueless good-for-nothings into the stables to shovel manure!

As he entered the study, he closed the door behind him, and the voice echoed in his ears again:
"Find information."

After saying those three words, Wang Lushi felt a sense of relief wash over him, as if all restraints had been lifted. The feeling that he had been completely under someone else's control vanished in an instant.

He jolted awake and opened his mouth to shout.

The guards weren't far from here, and he had a loud voice; there was no reason why the two men couldn't hear him.

But before he could even open his mouth, a sudden chill and pain shot through his chest, like being stabbed by a steel needle, the pain was unbearable.

That cry of "Help!" turned into a hiss, and he bent over in pain.

Someone's voice still echoed in his mind:

"The Corpse King's poison is still on your body, and I can regain control over you at any time. If you stop playing tricks, you'll suffer less."

Wang Lushi let out a long sigh, feeling dejected. He knew the enemy wouldn't let him off easily.

Left with no other choice, he could only light a lamp and start looking for information.

This information was scattered across seven or eight documents. He found them one by one, pointed at them with his finger, and explained them in a low voice.

The unknown person was not beside him, but he felt that the other person could see his every move and could also see the small print on the book.

There are countless supernatural powers in the world, so it's not surprising that someone could do this.

Sure enough, after he had collected about thirty clues, the other party asked him, "Is there anything else?"

"That's all for now." Wang Lushi was still very cautious in front of the unknown person who controlled his life. "If some operations were not reported to Jiecheng, I... I don't know. Some operations may have been sent directly to other places."

"If you suddenly want to know this unreported intelligence, can you get it?"

Wang Lushi hesitated for a moment, and then slowly raised his right hand.

He quickly reached out his left hand, trying to press down his right hand, but it was no use; the other person was much stronger than him.

"No, stop slapping yourself!" he quickly said. "Yes, yes!"
