Chapter 49 Waterboarding

Chapter 48水刑

"No—" Roach clung to the only thing in front of him.But the smooth edge of the obsidian table couldn't be grasped at all, and Roach's dying struggle would not last long, he was fully aware of it.

The person who did it was Zhao Zhiyan, even if Luo Qi hadn't been tortured to death, he would not be Zhao Zhiyan's opponent.He has the strengthening blessing of magical power, which may not be enough to deal with Du Zhengyi, but it is more than enough to deal with Roach.

Roach was picked up, and he watched his fingers slip off the edge of the obsidian table. There was a strange smell in the air, and the weird smiling face on the rough stone wall became more obvious. He seemed to have seen it before. .The whispering of the old house was getting louder and louder in his ears, and he couldn't tell if it was a real voice or if his mind was messed up.Just like this moment, it is obviously only a moment, but it is infinitely long in his eyes, and all the details are clearly engraved into his mind.

He didn't want to end up like this, he summoned up his last courage and frantically struggled to turn around.With force from his waist, he twisted violently from right to left, and his waist drove his shoulders. He swung his fist with all his strength and hit Zhao Zhiyan hard.He didn't want to be slaughtered like he was three years ago. He would rather choose to be beaten to death when he was fighting Zhao Zhiyan.

Zhao Zhiyan didn't pay attention, he took a step back and let go of his grip.Luo Qi let out a low growl, and rushed towards Zhao Zhiyan with blood-red eyes. The force coming out of nowhere brought him down hard. He was riding on Zhao Zhiyan's not-so-strong body. Before Zhao Zhiyan could react in astonishment, , punched him in the face.

Roach had never been so happy before. The despair of being humiliated and tied to death on the railway had long been burned into magma-like blazing anger, and he wanted to punch a third time.

"Enough!" A majestic voice accustomed to pretentiousness shouted angrily, "This farce is over!"

"So far your mother..." Roach roared angrily, swinging his fist, but the punch didn't hit the end, and an irresistible force restrained him.

Li Xu didn't even touch him, and pulled him away from Zhao Zhiyan's body. He struggled to be caught by a sticky force, which tightly tightened his limbs, like an invisible Mental patient restraint belt.Roach was tied up into a zombie, his stiff body floated up, and everything was beaten back to its original form. His successful resistance just now was like a bug.He floated into the clear crystal coffin on the obsidian table, the water wet the hair on the back of his head, pulling him with desperate fear, he took a deep breath.

The power of Roach disappeared, and he fell heavily into the water in the crystal coffin.The crystal coffin was one meter high, enough to submerge him. When he fell into the water, he instinctively struggled to get his head out of the water.

Li Xu's peaceful face appeared in front of him, looking down at him, he trembled in disgust and pain.Then a huge force fell on him, as if someone stuffed a thousand weights of iron into his stomach, and he sank, falling to the bottom of the crystal coffin.

Water poured into his nose, and his bronchi, lungs, and stomach were full of water, stinging him hotly. He instinctively flung his limbs and struggled, but the blood oxygen level in his body plummeted, and he inhaled more of water.The water in his lungs and trachea stimulated him, he coughed reflexively in the water, more water stimulated all his internal cavities, panic and intense pain overwhelmed his calmness.Even though he knew that calmly holding his breath for a while might make him feel a little more comfortable in the last moment of his life, but his physical reaction made him feel more intense needle pricks. At the last moment of his life, he only felt snot coming from his nose. It flowed out of his throat, he knew that he didn't even keep the last bit of dignity, his tears flowed into the water.

Roach writhed violently in the water, like a fish thrown ashore, until all his struggles ceased.His consciousness entered a final trance, like a wisp of smoke about to dissipate.At this last moment, he noticed that the coffin was almost completely transparent, between the crystal and the glass, and the world seen through the water and the coffin wall was as dim as doomsday.

His last realization was that by the time someone found him, he should have become a laboratory specimen soaked in formalin.Then the world completely quieted down in his consciousness.

At that moment, a ray of consciousness crept into his consciousness, racing through his almost static world, growing stronger, trying to grasp the last vestiges of himself.

Roach returned to his childhood home again, this time without the summer breeze and afternoon sun.The storm swept his world, the violent force knocked down his door, he held the small glass, the goldfish swam in his hand, the thunder resounded through the earth, a voice echoed the thunder in his Roaring in his head, he asked him to let go of everything he was holding.

He stared blankly at all this, the sky was darker than the dark night, the world was wild and violent just like the beginning of creation, and all he had was a little goldfish in his hand.Trapped in the small world of a cup, dependent on this fragile place of existence, that beautiful golden creature was the only creature with which he was dependent, and he couldn't bear to let go.

"Let it go." The voice in his head softened, coaxing him, "Let it go, let it go and you will find peace."

Roach sobbed, he really couldn't hold on anymore, he was too tired, and he was too wronged.He remembered, everything was meaningless, why did he exist, a magician who can't do magic, this existence is absurd.He remembered, he remembered that he had already decided to go to the human world, but they still refused to let him go.He is here, no one comes to look for him, whether it is his parents, or the venerable in the magic world, or Du Zhengyi, everyone forgets about him, and let him drown in the frozen dragon under the Qionglin Crystal Forest. In the soil, he will rot here and be quietly forgotten by everyone.

So what's the point of sticking around?

He heard a sighing voice answering him, saying that this world is absurd, so what is the obsession between the fish in your hand and the fire in your heart?

He exists without harming anyone, and he disappears without harming anyone.

He closed his eyes and slowly let go of his hands.He heard the storm reach its clamorous climax in ecstasy, and he felt the joy of victory, not the joy of finding the truth, but the joy of conquering, the climax of harvesting a new brain.He even felt the sticky wetness under the hustle and bustle.

Roach felt regret at this moment, his life ended in a perverted meaningless behavior.

The glass fell to the floor of the old house, making a crisp shattering sound, and the golden fish drew its last perfect arc in the dark void.

"Roach."

He heard someone sigh from a distance, and he listened intently, and the faint voice said, "Wait a little longer, wait a little longer."

But he couldn't wait.
