Help! My pet supervillain has three personalities!

"I don't know. It seems that the success rate of using us to refine this kind of monster is extremely low. So far, I think I've only seen one."

That's alright. It's just one. If there are more people, we should be able to handle it. This was the only piece of good news that Murong Bai heard that day, though it wasn't exactly good news.

Having learned so much, he suddenly remembered why the three of them hadn't been taken away and refined yet, so he asked them as well.

"Then why were only the three of you left behind and not taken away?"

"Because we haven't gone mad yet, no, I should say we haven't gone completely mad yet."

What does this mean?

"One of the conditions required to refine this is that the person being refined must be driven to the extreme of madness, with all reason completely collapsed and only one breath remaining. Only when this condition is met is it possible to succeed."

"So, in this world, as long as you stay rational, you don't have to die? Right?"

Upon hearing this, Lei Yuan shook her head with a laugh.

"How could we not die? Every day we have to endure all kinds of torture. Even if our minds don't break down, our bodies will eventually break down. Perhaps that day will be the day of liberation."

“That’s true.” If Lin Fang can use such a ruthless method to create humanoid weapons, then their punishments must be terrifying.

Murong Bai stared into the darkness before him, lost in thought.

Tang Yue, also in darkness, lay on the roof where Lin Fang had been doused with a large bucket of excrement last time, lost in thought.

So, where was Murong Bai imprisoned?

She had searched the entire Prime Minister's residence, but still couldn't find him.

She even searched the underground caves, and turned over all the passages where she had taken the gold last time, but she still couldn't find it.

Did Lin Fang really lock the person outside?

Tang Yue scratched her head, unable to figure it out.

Just then, the patrol arrived, and a brilliant idea struck her.

Right, why not just grab someone and ask them? Let's do it!

Even so, she would soon be discovered that someone had broken into the Prime Minister's residence. However, she couldn't find the person, so there was nothing she could do. Besides, she wasn't afraid of being discovered. The person who could catch up with her hadn't been born yet in this lifetime.

Tang Yue raised an eyebrow, lightly descended from the eaves, grabbed the last guard with one hand, and dragged him into an empty room.

The guard didn't react at first, but after entering the room, he realized what was happening and immediately prepared to call for help.

Tang Yue ripped the man's jaw off with a snap.

Guard:...

Why not acupressure...?

This really hurts!

The kidnapper didn't care about any of that. She tied up the guard, threw him on the bed, and her eyes gleamed like those of a hungry wolf. The guard trembled, feeling that his innocence was in jeopardy.

She patted the guard's cheek like a thug: "Hey, don't shake. I'm a good person and I won't hurt you. I just want to ask you a question. Just answer truthfully."

You dislocated my jaw the moment we met, and you're not a bad person...? No way!

The young guard shook his head blankly, then nodded, then shook his head again. Seeing the fierce glint in Tang Yue's eyes, he immediately nodded against his will.

Seeing that the guard was so sensible, Tang Yue stroked her chin with satisfaction and asked, "Hmm, can you write?"

The guard nodded; the question was easy to answer.

"I'll untie you in a bit. You write something for me. Don't even think about resisting. With your small body, I can crush you like a cockroach."

Guard: ...Shouldn't it be ants?

However, now was not the time to think about these things, so he quickly nodded.

Tang Yue showed a satisfied expression, untied the guard, and then said, "I ask you, where did the Prime Minister put the people he brought here today?"

"Hmm?" Who was kidnapped today?

When was the kidnapping?

Why didn't he know?

The young guard's eyes were filled with confusion, and even his body stopped trembling.

He took a pen and wrote three words: "I don't know!"

When the kidnapper, Tang, saw these three words, he felt like vomiting blood and was speechless.

So, risking being discovered, she caught a guy who knew nothing.

Undeterred, she asked again.

"Is there anything unusual happening at the Prime Minister's residence today?"

The young guard racked his brains for a long time before continuing to write: "My lord, I just started working today and haven't noticed anything strange happening."

Swordsman Tang: ...I didn't check the almanac before I left home. What a coincidence that I caught an idiot!

Tang Yue was speechless when the little guard suddenly started writing again.

"Something seems strange..."

"Huh? What is it?"

"The Prime Minister's salary hasn't been paid this month. Nobody has received it. When I went there today, the guards said that not only has it not been paid, but many people have had three or four months' salary deducted for some inexplicable trivial matters."
