Fainting in severe pain is said to be a self-protective response of the human body, but sometimes a more intense or more prolonged pain can cause a person to wake up from a coma.
That was what happened to Chen He that day. After a low growl, his originally unconscious body trembled and woke up again. Then, his face was distorted, and he was sweating profusely.
However, he did not panic. He had already experienced the same intense pain during this period of time in the terrifying interrogation room. Of course, this did not mean that he would feel better after experiencing it. On the contrary, this kind of pain could easily make people wish they were dead.
Despite the intense pain, Chen He could still see that the wounds on his body, chest, and abdomen had been bandaged with a clean white cloth. At the same time, the wounds under the white cloth were still painful, but they were much less painful. There was even a cool feeling coming from the wounds. This was clearly a sign that healing medicine had been applied on the wounds.
However, there was still intense pain coming from his body. That was because Lu Chen hadn't pulled back yet. He was still holding onto Chen He's right arm, calmly treating the wound.
Chen He endured the pain and looked at him. He found that Lu Chen's treatment method was abnormally rough and direct. He first checked the skin wounds, and if there was any rotten and smelly flesh, he would directly cut it with the black dagger. If the injury was slightly lighter, such as the skin being torn open, he would directly pour liquor on it and rinse it.
These two methods were enough to make people wish they were dead. Even a tough person like Chen He could not stop screaming and gasping for breath. His head was covered in cold sweat, and his body was trembling.
Not long after, Lu Chen finished treating the wounds on his right arm. Then, he took out some ointment from the box beside him and applied it to the wound. Then, he took out a clean white cloth and bandaged it. Soon, the terrifying pain subsided a lot, and a cool feeling came from the wound.
"Why?" Chen He looked at Lu Chen and asked in a low voice, as if he had finally managed to take a breather from the effective but excruciating healing.
Lu Chen looked at him, then walked to the other side of his body with the tools in his hand and sat down. He picked up Chen He's left arm and examined it. At the same time, he said faintly, "You are a person who is useful to me, but if you continue to be tortured like this, even if you don't die, you will go crazy."
Chen He was silent. Everyone's body and will had a limit. Once the last line was crossed, people would die, or if they were pushed too far, they would go crazy. Chen He was very determined to keep the secret, but he really felt that he could not hold on any longer. No one could continue to endure such intense pain for a long time.
"Hiss …"
Suddenly, Chen He let out a low groan and sucked in a breath of cold air. It was Lu Chen who had sliced off a piece of rotten flesh from his arm.
Fresh blood gushed out. Chen He's face was as white as paper and he almost fainted again. He clenched his teeth and looked at Lu Chen calmly treating the wound. Suddenly, a few words came out from between his teeth, "Thank you."
Lu Chen looked up at him and said, "What are you thanking me for? Maybe I will make you suffer even more in the future."
Chen He sneered, panting as he leaned his head on the ground and said, "Just come."
Lu Chen smiled. Seeing that the wound was almost treated, he took out the medicine and started to apply it.
After a while, Chen He suddenly asked, "Should I know you?"
This time, Lu Chen did not raise his head. He calmly said, "More or less. I am called Lu Chen. I used to stay in the Evil Faction. If you have stayed in the sect long enough and your position is high enough, you will probably know my other name."
"What name?" Chen He frowned and asked.
"Black Wolf."
…
"Black Wolf …" Chen He repeated the name twice. Suddenly, his face changed. Then, the way he looked at Lu Chen was completely different. He stared at Lu Chen and said in a hoarse voice, "It's that barren valley …"
"Yes, I did it." Lu Chen said cleanly.
"Ah!" Chen He let out a beast-like roar. Suddenly, his body rose up, as if he was about to burst out with unimaginable power and pounced towards Lu Chen.
But, before he could raise his arm that was wrapped in white cloth, Lu Chen's palm had already slapped him on the cheek.
"Pa!" A crisp and heavy slap directly slapped Chen He to the ground. A line of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. His whole body was pressed against the ground, gasping for breath.
However, the pain did not end. Without waiting for him to take another breath, suddenly, a heart wrenching pain came from his thigh, causing Chen He to scream miserably, as if he had used all his strength to shout.
White Lotus, who was standing at the side, frowned. She watched as Lu Chen stepped on the wound on Chen He's thigh with a deadpan expression. At the same time, he kept twisting and rubbing, causing Chen He's whole body to tremble. He looked like a mad dog.
She then looked at the bandaged wounds on Chen He's upper body, and then looked at Lu Chen's completely different behavior from before. She couldn't help but think, 'Is this guy a lunatic in his heart …?'
After Chen He screamed for a while, Lu Chen moved his foot away from his wound and then squatted down in front of him. Looking at Chen He's face covered in cold sweat, his distorted and trembling face, he said calmly, "Do you know your situation now?"
Chen He gasped, then looked up at him, nodded, and even gritted his teeth and smiled. Although the smile was uglier than crying, he said, "I understand."
Lu Chen stared at him for a moment, then nodded and said, "You are a smart person."
…
Lu Chen turned around and acted as if nothing had happened. As if nothing had happened, he began to help Chen He treat the wounds on his legs. But after being trampled by his vicious foot, the wound on Chen He's thigh was at least half as serious, causing Chen He to suffer a lot more.
In the process of treating him, Lu Chen suddenly said, "Recently, when I watched you being tortured, I often thought of one thing: If I had exposed my identity in the Devil Cult, I would probably have suffered the same fate as you. At that time, would I be able to endure the pain like you?"
As he spoke, the blade in his hand did not stop.
Chen He was in so much pain that he was sweating and seeing stars, but he couldn't even answer. Fortunately, Lu Chen didn't seem to care about his answer. After a moment of silence, he seemed to be talking to himself, "Later I understood, I can endure it."
Although he was in extreme pain, Chen He still glanced at him with some contempt, probably because he didn't believe Lu Chen's words.
Lu Chen didn't explain anything to him. He just calmly did his own thing and then said calmly, "So, I asked myself, why do I feel that I can endure it?"
After he said this, not only Chen He, but even White Lotus also looked over.
Lu Chen smiled and continued to say arrogantly, "Later I understood, because at that time, I really believed in something, and firmly believed in it, even at the risk of my life. So I am not afraid of death, nor am I afraid of pain. No matter how much pain, I can endure it. "
"An ordinary person wouldn't be able to endure such intense pain. Those who are able to endure it and remain clear-headed must have some kind of belief in their hearts that supports them, making them unwavering. If they aren't even afraid of death, why would they be afraid of pain?
"Am I right?" Lu Chen looked at Chen He and said lightly, "So, I'm very curious, what exactly is in your heart that makes you so stubbornly endure until now, and would rather die than betray Elder Gui?"
"Is it that old tortoise who has done you a great favor? Or do you have something on you, like a relative being held hostage? Or, you firmly believe in the legend of the Devil Cult, and think that the Three Realms will be unified sooner or later, and the Devil Cult will be the final home of the human race, right? "
Lu Chen smiled and said to Chen He, "Which one is it? Can you tell me about it?"
