Chapter 52: Prisoners
Li Ke's series of operations can be said to be smooth, including eliminating threats, knocking down, using the opponent's clothes as a restraint, and tying up the enemy with his own belt. The steamed bun used to stuff his mouth at the end was even more smooth, giving people a feeling of being done in one go.
Shen found this behavior of using the enemy's and one's own things to fight very interesting.
"When Yasuo was little, I just got used to beating him with a sack."
Li Ke smiled shyly . He couldn't say that he learned it from Cheng Long, the weapon master, right? When he was a child, he thought that Cheng Long's fighting style was very interesting and practical, so he restored it in this world.
It turns out that you won't get this chance in actual combat, and it's useless except for bullying. The reason why he can treat Xia like this is because Xia is too restrained by him.
His main attack is close combat, while Xia's attack power is basically on feathers.
But her feathers were restrained by her own sword, and when facing herself, she was just a tiger without teeth and claws.
Moreover, the opponent's strength was indeed a bit lacking. Both his fighting style and techniques fully demonstrated that he had only hunted wild beasts and had basically no experience fighting with humans, especially with human masters.
It is no exaggeration to say that he is a rookie.
Shen curled the corner of his mouth. He knew that Yasuo didn't have a very good reputation, but he never expected that it would get to the point where his fellow disciples would put a sack on him and beat him.
"...I really don't know how to describe your disciples of the Wind Control Sword Technique."
Shen sighed and looked at the caterpillar that was humming under his feet, and he felt a little overwhelmed.
It would have been fine if Li Ke had beaten up this Vastaya, but he tied him up. Was he really going to do something bad?
He asked out of a sense of justice.
"But what are you going to do with her?"
Li Ke rubbed his buttocks. The small hole there was still aching. When he heard Shen's words, he answered naturally.
"Of course they beat her up, then smeared her whole body with honey, and buried her in a deep pit, leaving only her head outside. Then they made a cut in her head and poured mercury into it. When her whole body was itchy and she couldn't help but peel off her skin and jump out of her head, they chopped her into small pieces, inch by inch."
The air fell silent in an instant. Xia opened her eyes wide in horror, while Shen was dumbfounded and looked at Li Ke in disbelief. But Li Ke smiled sinisterly and continued to tell another terrible torture.
"Of course, you can also find a densely populated town and build her into a wall, leaving only her head and butt exposed."
Humans are really scary!
Xia's eyes were as wide as they could be. One was the extreme physical torture, and the other was the extreme mental torture. So she was now trying hard to push the bun in her mouth open and bite her tongue to commit suicide as soon as possible.
But the poor girl didn't know that biting her tongue wouldn't kill her.
"Stop scaring people, you bastard."
Shen rubbed his temple. He knew that Li Ke was trying to scare the Vastaya on the ground, but the Vastaya didn't know that.
The two tortures that Li Ke mentioned made even him shudder, let alone a little girl who looked arrogant.
"Have no idea."
Li Ke tightened the rope around Xia.
"It's obvious from the first glance that this guy is not the kind of person who will give up easily. What can you do?"
He had experienced this in the simulator. Either a friend in need is a friend indeed, or Xia had to be forced into submission by using the hawk-tearing method. Other gentle methods had never appeared before.
After all, if Kasumi was so easy to persuade and give up, she wouldn't be a 'hero'. And one of her deaths in the simulation was also inseparable from Kasumi.
And logically speaking, both Irelia and Shen had an inexplicable liking for him, and in the simulation, Xia had become his wife just like Irelia, but after meeting, they still fought over a small conflict.
This shows Xia's character.
"Too……"
Shen nodded. Most people would just scold Li Ke and would not take action so decisively. If it weren't for Li Ke's strong strength, he would probably have to stay in bed for a while.
"But it doesn't matter. I can convince her."
After retrieving his sword, Li Ke picked up the still struggling Xia, and carried her to their carriage amid her constant whimpering. Then he found some cotton and a black cloth, plugged Xia's ears, blindfolded her, and used the hemp rope on the carriage to tie Xia's calves and thighs together. He then wrapped the rope around her knees and tied her legs to her own chest.
And because the steamed bun was not very useful, Li Ke replaced it and blocked Xia's mouth with a small wooden ball. In order to prevent Xia from spitting out the wooden ball and shouting, he tied the ball to Xia's head with a rope.
Finally, he stepped on Xia's buttocks and tightened the hemp rope on her body. Only then did Li Ke sit on the carriage naturally. He patted the person next to him and spoke to Shen on the side .
"Okay! Let's go!"
"…You call this persuasion?"
Shen, who was once again surprised by Li Ke's smooth operation, asked again.
"You can't lecture her here."
Li Ke curled her lips, took out the Ionia Five-Year Plan from Shen's arms, and shook it at Shen.
"I'll use this to convince her later!"
But Shen still looked constipated, and he couldn't let Li Ke release the tiger back to the mountains, but Li Ke's operation was really...
Can't you just beat him up and be done with it? !
If it really doesn't work, you can use force and then I will stop you, which is also a way to end the matter!
Why were you kidnapped?
This is definitely kidnapping, right?
This must be a kidnapping, right?
Did you kidnap a girl right in front of me?!
Shen had a thousand words he wanted to say, but looking at the Ionia Five-Year Plan in Li Ke's hand, he couldn't utter a word: He probably guessed Li Ke's idea, which was to use this plan to convince this seemingly arrogant Vastaya to become a part of Li Ke's plan.
In principle, he wanted to stop Li Ke, but the prerequisite was that he had not read the book.
But extraordinary people do extraordinary things, and Li Ke must have his reasons for doing this.
"We've agreed in advance that if I'm exposed and suspected of being a human trafficker, I'll say I don't know you..."
Just as Shen said this, the sound of something falling to the ground was heard by the two men, and when they turned their heads to look, they found a family of three, three Vastaya who looked exactly like beavers but were wearing clothes, looking at them in amazement, and the sound was made by a nut dropped at the feet of the little beaver in the middle.
"Shen, you don't want the reputation of the Kinkou to be damaged in Ionia, do you?"
Li Ke slowly drew out his sword, his face was gloomy and terrifying, and his expression was as if he could eat a child alive, causing the beaver child, the beaver mother, and the beaver father to scream in turn.
then.
The number of terrified captives increased.
