Hell Game: Starting from Metropolis

“No, I’m not lying. Yusena is my real name, but I usually use a fake name in public.”

Yusenar quickly explained.

"What name did you use at church?"

Liu Zheng asked.

Yourseña rolled her eyes but didn't answer immediately.

"Ok?"

He picked up a small pair of pliers, with a piece of bloody fingernail still stuck to them.

"Kafra, that's the name I use at church!"

Yusenal replied in a panic.

"Kavra, you're that genius doctor?"

Andrina exclaimed in shock.

"you know?"

Liu Zheng turned his head to look at her.

"Yes. She joined the church a few years ago and quickly became a well-known doctor among the younger generation, participating in many research projects. However, she is not responsible for specific clinical work, so we have never met her."

Andrina said.

"My senior doctor spoke about her, describing her as highly effective and mysterious."

"You have a very high opinion of me."

Liu Zheng looked at Youse Na'er, who gave an awkward smile.

"Which faction do you belong to?"

he asked.

"I do not belong to any power; I serve only knowledge."

Seeing Liu Zheng's unfriendly gaze, she quickly added,

"Of course, in order to acquire knowledge, I will hide my identity and join various factions."

Which factions have you joined?

He asked with great interest.

"Church, Choir, Sigma Research Society, Church of Suffering, Elegant Workshop, Atlanta Residents Mutual Aid Association"

Yourseñar recited a long list.

"Good heavens, you've taken over every inch of Atlantis's territory, not even sparing the Church of Pain."

Liu Zheng said admiringly.

His time management skills were something even he couldn't match.

“I originally wanted to explore the mystery of the miracle of suffering, but the doctrines of the Church of Suffering were too bizarre, and I felt that the cost-effectiveness was too low, so I withdrew after attending only a few ceremonies.”

Yusena said honestly.

"really."

Liu Zheng strongly agreed with this.

If it weren't for his ability to regenerate flesh and blood, reduce pain, and possess extremely high mental attributes, he would never have been able to complete the Great Baptism.

"Did you summon those Eye Culture Mediums?"

He got to the point.

"No, they were originally created by the Calcarens Academy. I just brought them here."

Yusena shook her head.

"Driven by this?"

Liu Zheng took out the captured fluorescent bell.

"Yes, these are relics of the Tomel civilization. After modification, they can be used to control these Eye Culture media."

Yusena nodded.

"Then why did you attack us?"

"Because my secret research base is located at the Calcarens Academy, and there are many unexplored secrets within the academy, I don't want you to get close."

"Youssena said."

How did you know we were coming?

"."

Yourseña remained silent.

Liu Zheng didn't stand on ceremony and directly picked up the pliers and pulled off another piece of her nail.

"what!"

Yusena screamed in agony.

"Next time it will be a whole hand."

He said calmly.

“I said, I said, it was my informant in the church who told me.”

"Youssena shouted."

"Old Mei really should organize a crazy campaign for your church."

Liu Zheng looked at Andrina.

The latter lowered his head in embarrassment.

There are no factions within the religion; it is full of strange and wonderful things.

The Blood Healing Church is a research-oriented organization, so it's normal for different groups to have different ideas as the organization grows.

Of course, it's also because Amelia simply didn't have the prestige and charisma of the first Archbishop, Deakins.

Maintaining the church's apparent unity was already her limit.

"If the Eye Culture Medium fails and I manage to catch you, what will you do next?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"."

Yourseña fell silent again.

“You never learn. I’ve changed my mind. This time I want your hands and feet.”

He picked up the rusty iron saw directly.

Boning knives and butcher knives are too sharp to serve as instruments of torture.

“I said! I will secretly provoke Amirola so that she will capture you.”

"Youssena said."

"very good."

As punishment for her silence, Liu Zheng still pulled out the remaining nails on her left hand.

"Eat it."

Liu Zheng said.

"No, sir, I beg you."

Yourseña looked pleading, and Andrina also looked reluctant.

"Eat it, or I'll use this to stuff it down your intestines."

He opened and closed the pliers, making a clicking sound.

"No, I eat."

Yousenar almost snatched her fingernail and swallowed it whole.

She had conducted many experiments far more cruel than this, which made it even harder for her to accept suffering such pain herself.

Who is Amirola?

Liu Zheng waited until she had completely swallowed before asking the question.

“Amirola is not human, but a superior being. However, she is a relatively weaker being among the superior beings, but she is still incredibly terrifying to mortals.”

Yoursena learned her lesson and stopped hesitating.

"You still dare to provoke such a being? Aren't you afraid of playing with fire and getting burned?"

"The pursuit of knowledge is always fraught with risks. Moreover, those in power are not entirely incomprehensible or untouchable; at least Amirola is not."

"There are a few ways to avoid being angered by Amirola."

"Youssena said."

"what way?"

Liu Zheng asked.

“You cannot use this method. The amygdala has been implanted and bound to my brain. Even if you open my brain to remove it, it will automatically destroy itself.”

"Youssena said."

What exactly is almond stone?

“I don’t know either. I got it from someone in the Forbidden Forest. He told me that implanting this stone would prevent me from being harmed by Amirola, but he didn’t tell me its specific origin.”

Yusena shook her head.

"You actually accepted that he didn't tell you?"

Such a research fanatic would not hesitate to sacrifice his soul, let alone endure torture, to obtain an answer.

“That person is very mysterious, and I’m not confident. Moreover, he seems to know a lot about me, so I dare not act rashly.”

"Youssena said."

"Once I'm done with things here, I'll see just how mysterious he really is."

Liu Zheng sneered.

Andrina hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped herself.

"Since you have a secret research base here, you should know a lot about the situation at Calcarens Academy, right?"

he asked again.

"I don't know what you need me to know."

Yoursena replied wittily.

"I want to know the location of the Twisted Saint's remains, as well as the whereabouts of the Divine Child's umbilical cord, the Holy Grail of the Tomel civilization, and the high-quality Blood Gem."

Liu Zheng said.

"What you need is all quite tricky."

Youssena smiled wryly.

"Find one, and you can die with some dignity. Find two, and you can die with some ease. Find three, and you can die with some joy."

His tentacles reached into the torture chamber once more.

"Can you spare my life? I have a high level of expertise in mysticism, biology, medicine, chemistry, and other fields, and I am also very familiar with the situation of various forces in Atlantis. I will definitely be of use to you."

"Youssena said."

"If I find them all, I can spare your life for now."

“That’s impossible. The Karl Karens Academy no longer has a stockpile of high-quality blood gems. Even if it does, they must be hidden very well.”

Yoursena shook her head.
