"Hey!"

Then, he hesitated for a while, and then with eyes full of greed and cruelty, he walked step by step towards the separate cell where she was separated by iron bars.

After walking into the cell, he first casually took a sharp knife from the shelf with torture instruments, walked up to Claire with a cruel smile on his face, and lifted her chin with the blade.

Then after making eye contact, he asked:

"rest assured!"

"Claire, I'm not interested in your collective betrayal, absconding, or even trying to fight against the organization!"

"You were a soldier of the organization..."

"So, I want to know, where does that set of armor come from?"

"That is the key to you becoming a 'Great Sword', am I right?"

"Tell me about it!"

"Besides what we've discovered, what else does it have that we don't know?"

"Just like..."

"What is its specific origin?"

"besides……"

"Where did that little girl come from?"

Staring at the silver eyes on Claire's haggard face, the leader of the organization tried his best to ask in a gentle and coaxing tone.

"..."

Claire just glanced at the other person, then slowly closed her eyes without saying a word.

She knew what the leader meant, but his greed could only make her feel disgusted and resentful, so she gritted her teeth and prepared to face any upcoming punishment.

"Ah!"

"Don't tell me?"

The leader was not surprised when Claire didn't answer, and just smiled.

"You think it's okay if you don't say anything?"

"Look at you now, your situation is not optimistic!"

"Here, the organization has many ways. If you don't cooperate, it will only make you more miserable. If you tell me earlier, maybe you can be relieved earlier?"

"Do you believe it or not..."

"We can tear you into pieces and leave you with only your head in a bottle and still be alive?"

Then, he leaned close to Claire's ear and whispered a threat in a sinister voice.

"..."

Claire's body trembled slightly, but she still didn't let go.

"All right!"

"If you don't want to say it, don't say it!"

"It's still a long time!"

"We have a lot of patience..."

Seeing that Claire still didn't cooperate, the leader, although his face looked a bit resentful, didn't react much. He just stood up straight and threw the knife back on the shelf, and then prepared to leave.

"They will come for you!"

"I swear!"

"You will be reduced to ashes along with this evil place!"

Suddenly, Claire raised her head suddenly, and then gasped sharply, while gritting her blood-stained teeth and roaring a curse.

"Yeah?"

"maybe……"

"Should we go find them first?"

Smirking, the leader retorted cruelly and mockingly.

"..."

Claire didn't say anything else, just stared at the other person for a while, then slowly closed her eyes again and lowered her head.

She decided that from today on, she would never speak again, at least until the end of her life.

Herself……

Maybe there is really no way to go back alive, and she can no longer look for that boy, but what she just said was not just a threat or a curse.

Because she knew that according to the plan, Miria and Elena would definitely launch an annihilation operation against the organization. That was an inevitable fact, just a few months later!

It's just that she may not be able to wait for that day.

"Let's go!"

"It's getting late, I'll come back tomorrow."

"You guys continue!"

Seeing that the researchers outside were still busy, and that Claire was still stubborn and unwilling to speak, the leader of the organization smiled noncommittally again.

"Watch it closely."

"Don't let her die, and don't let her run away!"

After saying that, and getting the promises from her subordinates, she walked out of the cell, opened the door and left triumphantly.

Research is not done in a day or two. After all, they have been studying demons for nearly a hundred years, so they still have plenty of time. It doesn't matter whether Claire is willing to cooperate or not. In the long time to come, they will

Continue to interrogate the other person until she is willing to cooperate.

certainly!

It doesn't matter if you don't want to, because as he just said, they have plenty of ways.

"..."

The night is getting deeper and deeper.

At some point, the researchers also left one by one and took away the set of Judgment Armor that was stripped from Claire's body, leaving her alone, who continued to be nailed to the hideous wooden torture instrument covered in blood.

I felt the double pain and endless exhaustion both physically and mentally.

She doesn't know what will happen to her tomorrow or in the future, nor how long she can last...

Now, her demon power has been completely suppressed by the organization in some way, so much so that she cannot even use her awakening to resist and commit suicide, let alone regain her mobility and escape from this dangerous research institute.

"..."

So, she finally raised her head and glanced at the silent cell, struggling in vain to rely on her last strength to break free from the torture device. After only adding a lot of pain to her, with waves of dizziness and trance, she finally

His head dropped again, and he passed out again under the torture of pain and exhaustion.
