255: I'll tell you! I'll tell you everything!

After losing his limbs, Shi Dingtian lay on the ground, his two big, black, rolling eyes staring at the Yellow-haired girl who had suddenly appeared, without any reaction.

There are countless civilizations on Blue Star, and some are even weaker than lower-tier civilizations, not even qualifying as civilizations, called tribes.

After all, even the lowest-tier lower civilization requires at least one Advanced Aerial Warrior; it's not something just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can achieve.

Although Shi Dingtian had never seen this ability of Chen Du's, there were so many alien races on Blue Star that it wasn't strange for one to possess strange and bizarre abilities.

He maintained his arrogant, mocking attitude as he looked at Chen Du; in his eyes, this man wearing a clown mask looked ridiculous.

What he said was even more laughable—actually thinking of using torture to threaten a rock-type life form.

Simply ridiculous!

The next second.

The radiance on the Yellow-haired girl's body gradually brightened.

Pale yellow, yellow, very yellow, and finally turning into a dazzling golden light that shot towards Shi Dingtian.

The golden light looked like sunlight visually, but it wasn't blinding; it even felt somewhat gentle.

"Hahahaha!"

Shi Dingtian laughed wantonly, knowing he was doomed to die today; after all, alien races were basically locked in a life-or-death struggle, and rarely could they coexist peacefully.

"You don't happen to be trying to reform me with love, do you?"

After being irradiated by the golden light, Shi Dingtian discovered his body had no abnormalities. Combined with the Yellow-haired girl's appearance and glowing body, he instinctively associated it with the word 'angel'.

Angels generally represent words like love, happiness, and beauty.

Pfft!

Chen Du's expression didn't change as he stabbed the longsword in his hand into Shi Dingtian's stomach, pinning him to the ground.

Most rock-type life forms don't have things like hearts; their body's blood supply mainly relies on their heads. Generally, to kill them, one must decapitate them or destroy their heads.

Injuries like severed hands and feet only affect their movement; they won't cost them their lives.

"3..."

"4..."

Chen Du didn't answer Shi Dingtian's question but suddenly started counting. Having experienced the irradiation a thousand times, he knew the mechanism of the Life Girl's favor very clearly.

When irradiating a non-moving target, cells begin to evolve starting from the 5th second; one hour counts as one treatment session.

This ability cannot be used as an attack method, as no enemy would stand there foolishly and let you irradiate them, but for torture and interrogation, it is superb!

Chen Du didn't know how much this rock-person alien could endure, but he would perform an infinite loop of 59-minute sessions!

He didn't know how long he would stay here this time, so there was plenty of nutrient solution in his ring. These things didn't take up much space and could maintain bodily functions; all in all, even if Chen Du stayed here for a year, he would be fine!

However, Chen Du wouldn't stay that long at one time.

He had already discussed it with the other three; in ten days, he would go out once, at which point the four of them would exchange information and make the next move.

"5..." Chen Du recited every number with a drawn-out tone. When he read the '5', before the tail of the sound had even finished, the mocking expression on the opponent's face came to an abrupt end.

Instead, it began to reveal an expression of pain similar to a stomachache.

30 seconds later...

"Not bad... but not much!"

60 seconds later...

"Just a little bit of wind and frost... it's nothing at all!"

3 minutes later...

"Ahhhh... you damned alien, even if I die of pain, I won't leak a single secret about this place!"

5 minutes later...

"Quick... stop!"

"I'll talk! I'll tell you everything!"

"Give me a quick death!"

After persisting for a full five minutes, Shi Dingtian chose to surrender!

Only 5 minutes!?

Chen Du looked at Shi Dingtian with some disdain. He had been shouting so fiercely earlier; he thought this guy had a lot of perseverance, but it turned out to be all talk.

Or perhaps it was because he had never experienced this kind of pain that he was so full of confidence.

As someone who was irradiated by this golden beam every day, Chen Du knew very well that this thing required the perseverance to transcend life and death to endure; the process was a journey of evolution more painful than death.

If Chen Du didn't have the years of foundation laid for him by the Crystal Space, he wouldn't have been able to endure it either.

However, that he couldn't even last 5 minutes was still beyond Chen Du's expectations. His psychological expectation was originally 20 minutes, after all, he was a rock-type life form, but now it was a full 4 times faster than that time!

However, facing Shi Dingtian's wailing, Chen Du remained unmoved. He knew this was not the opponent's breaking point; stopping in this situation meant the probability of the opponent lying was extremely high.

This Shi Dingtian knew he wouldn't survive, and it was very likely he would point out a dead end that couldn't be verified!

So Chen Du was waiting, waiting for the opponent to speak up voluntarily while in pain!

Chen Du was also facing a critical juncture in making choices; to put it broadly, his choice could even affect the High Martial Civilization, so he had to be extremely cautious!

He needed an answer that was infinitely close to 100% true!

Just like that, another two and a half minutes passed, and the irradiation time reached 7 minutes and 30 seconds; Shi Dingtian was almost out of strength to even wail.

He just wanted to die immediately now!

But he had no way to commit suicide!

"Qi... Qilin Civilization..."

"Holding... parts of the Qilin Civilization's body, you can... exchange for things inside!"

In the end, Shi Dingtian spoke up voluntarily, saying weakly. At this point, his willpower had already begun to crumble; he couldn't even speak a complete sentence clearly.

The Qilin Arm triggering that invisible door was naturally related to the Qilin Civilization; Chen Du was not surprised by this.

As for what exchanging things meant, or the veracity of this statement, it would depend on Shi Dingtian's subsequent explanation, but Chen Du didn't want to know the information about this No. 100 cave directly.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Chen Du waved his hand and moved the golden light beam away, shining it on the floor beside him without turning it off.

This was a warning to the opponent: if he didn't confess obediently, the torture would continue!

"I don't want to hear this; start from your self-introduction!"

"Then tell me everything you know about this place, and all related information, word for word!"

"If I discover even half a lie in there..."

After Chen Du finished speaking, he looked coldly at the Yellow-haired girl beside him:

"I will use this thing to irradiate you permanently!"

"Also, let me remind you, this thing cannot kill people; you will only feel endless pain for the rest of your life, until the end of your life!"

Hearing this, Shi Dingtian was almost scared to death on the spot!

It was so painful after being irradiated by this thing for only a few minutes; if this time were extended indefinitely...

He didn't even dare to imagine that kind of fear!

"I'll talk! I'll tell you everything!"

"But please promise me, after I've finished speaking, give me a quick death!"

Chen Du nodded. This guy used 'please'; he was probably scared out of his wits. This way, the credibility of what he said later would be much higher.

The reason Chen Du wanted Shi Dingtian to start from his self-introduction was that he was afraid he would mix truths and lies in a small story, making it very difficult to distinguish truth from falsehood.

Now, having him tell it from start to finish, starting with himself—in such a short time, it was impossible for the opponent to fabricate a story from beginning to end without any loopholes.

"Good."

After receiving Chen Du's promise, Shi Dingtian, as if grabbing a "life-saving straw", was afraid the other party would go back on his word and immediately spoke:

"My name is Shi Dingtian, and I come from the [Epoch Plate]."
