Lu Chen stood there, enduring the strange stares from the surrounding people, silent and did not speak a word. He looked at Su Qingjun's pale face, her eyes although angry but still clear, like a mirror that had never been tainted by dust.
Right and wrong?
Right and wrong?
Or perhaps only innocence, a pure heart untainted by dust, was it because someone had once opened his arms in the darkness, used his chest and body to resist the raging tide that filled the sky?
But, everything that he had done in the past, was it really all right? Those choices, were there any selfishness, were there any fears, was it really worth it?
This was not what Lu Chen had imagined, today he had specially brought Su Qingjun here, it was to let her have a clearer understanding of the Evil Sect, to let this woman who had a warm memory with him, in the future possible battles and killings, have a higher chance of survival and safety.
He did not want to see anything happen to her.
Lu Chen opened his mouth, seemed to want to say something but the next moment, he still maintained his silence, perhaps even he himself did not know what to say?
Su Qingjun's beautiful face, from the initial pale, started to show surprise, she was stunned by Lu Chen's silence and then gradually turned into disappointment. Her emotions were so obvious that everyone could see it. She gently shook her head, looked at Lu Chen, and finally softly said, "I didn't expect you to be this kind of person!"
Her voice suddenly rose, her expression agitated and angry, she stared at the silent Lu Chen, like staring at a sinner, "Don't tell me you have really seen that kind of thing happen with your own eyes? Right before your eyes, you did not do anything, watched that woman being … "
She did not continue her words, perhaps she had never really seen that cruel scene, or perhaps she was too kind-hearted to say those malicious words, but just by imagining, right now it seemed to be enough to make the surrounding people's gazes turn into sharp whips, nailing that silent man on the invisible wooden frame, whipping him countless times.
Covered with scars.
Covered with cuts and bruises!
…
That wooden frame was called Justice.
Also called Morality.
…
Su Qingjun suddenly turned around and walked away with large strides. She resolutely and angrily left this dark, dirty, and smelly prison.
She didn't want to stay in this disgusting place for even a moment.
The prison guards behind her subconsciously opened up a path as they watched the woman leave. They looked at each other and frowned slightly. Finally, their gazes landed on Lu Chen.
No one spoke, but their gazes didn't seem friendly either. Perhaps in that silence, there was disdain, contempt, hidden anger, and silent condemnation.
The situation had suddenly changed in the blink of an eye, catching everyone off guard. Even the usually calm and composed Lu Chen seemed to be at a loss at this moment. Fortunately, at this moment, a figure suddenly walked forward and blocked in front of Lu Chen. Then, he laughed like a fool.
"Hahahaha, what's wrong with everyone? We are here to do something today, why do you all look so lifeless, hahahaha … "Old Ma smiled and turned around. He patted Lu Chen's shoulder and said," Let's go, it's just in front. "
Lu Chen glanced at him, slowly turned around and walked forward with Old Ma. After walking for about ten steps, they arrived outside the last prison cell.
There was a pillar in the prison cell, and on it was a prisoner with disheveled hair tied tightly with iron chains. There were many wounds and bloodstains all over his body. His head was drooping and he looked like he was unconscious. Looking at his face through the messy hair, it was the Evil Faction sorcerer, Chen He.
Old Ma waved to the guards behind him and said, "Open the door, we want to interrogate this person!"
Accompanied by the clanking of the iron locks, the heavy iron door opened. Lu Chen and Old Ma walked in while the rest of the guards stayed outside.
Lu Chen hadn't spoken a single word since the beginning. Even when he walked up to the prisoner, his expression still seemed to be a little dazed.
Old Ma looked at him worriedly and looked behind him. Seeing that the prison guards seemed to have a tacit understanding to stand further away, he then heaved a sigh of relief.
He walked to Lu Chen's side, lowered his voice and said softly, "I say, are you alright?"
Lu Chen slowly shook his head, glanced at the unconscious Chen He and suddenly said, "Today I brought Su Qingjun over, I originally thought that after telling her about the Evil Faction's vicious methods, she would be on her guard. Finally when we interrogate this person about Elder Ghost's whereabouts, maybe I will use some of the Evil Faction's cruel methods to make her understand more deeply."
Old Ma gave a wry smile and said, "You really put in a lot of effort, unfortunately this matter seems to be messed up."
Lu Chen silently nodded and said, "Yes."
Old Ma sighed and said, "Actually a girl like Miss Su, since young, she grew up in aristocratic families and famous sects, what she sees, knows and thinks, is different from us, it is really too normal, you …"
"Let's go." Lu Chen suddenly interrupted his words.
Old Ma was taken aback and said, "Not interrogating anymore?"
Lu Chen indifferently said, "His injuries are so serious, and those people in Fuyunji's methods, how can they be worse than the Evil Faction? Till now they have not gotten anything out of him, I reckon I also have no way to pry open his mouth. "
After speaking, he turned and walked out, Old Ma hurriedly followed.
Those prison guards standing outside were shocked, came up and asked, "Both sirs, are you not interrogating the prisoner anymore?"
Lu Chen silently walked forward and did not answer. Old Ma gave a dry laugh, pointed to the unconscious Chen He in the cell and said, "That prisoner is still unconscious, and I have taken a look at his injuries, it is really very serious, he cannot withstand the heavy punishment, it will be very difficult to get anything out of him. Two days later, we will come again in two days. "
The few guards looked at each other, contempt flashed in their eyes, but they did not say anything and very politely sent the two of them out of the prison.
Leaving that dark and oppressive prison, even though Old Ma was someone who had seen a lot of the world, he could not help but let out a long sigh of relief, mumbled, "That place is really not suitable for people to stay in."
Lu Chen walked beside him, frowning and silent. As they walked, he suddenly glanced at Old Ma.
Old Ma's heart jumped for no reason, said, "What?"
"Did I really do something wrong?" Lu Chen asked him in a low voice.
Old Ma was speechless, for a moment he did not know what to say. Of course, he would not say that Lu Chen was wrong, but just when he wanted to say that he did not do anything wrong and did the right thing, the scene from not long ago suddenly appeared in his mind. Su Qingjun's sudden questioning was like a whip lashing at him.
The imagined cruel scene in his mind made his words suddenly choke in his throat, unable to come out.
After a while, Old Ma said bitterly, "Don't let your imagination run wild, it has been so many years. Moreover, back then when you were in the Evil Cult, if you really wanted to mess around, you would be surrounded by people from the Evil Cult, wouldn't that be seeking your own death? " As if he had finally found a reason, Old Ma breathed a sigh of relief, nodded repeatedly, and said, "So, even if you make a move to save people, most likely you will not be able to save people, and will instead harm your own life, it is not worth it, right?"
Lu Chen's expression still looked very strange, he seemed to be suddenly immersed in the past, somewhat unable to extricate himself, after a while, his face suddenly became a little pale.
Old Ma looked at him, couldn't help but be a little worried, and asked in a low voice, "Are you alright?"
"I forgot the name."
Old Ma was startled, and said, "What?"
Lu Chen slowly raised a palm, staring at his own palm, a trace of pain and confusion finally gradually emerged in the depths of his eyes, even his voice carried a bit of bitterness, "I forgot that woman's name, Old Ma."
"I forgot, I completely forgot her …"
"I, am I really like those people from the Evil Cult, born so cruel and heartless?" Lu Chen murmured, his face as pale as paper.
