Chapter 364 - Chapter 364 Chapter 360 Interrogation - Who are you

Chapter 364: Chapter 360 Interrogation – Who are you? Chapter 364: Chapter 360 Interrogation – Who are you? Zhi Qi glared fiercely at Taotie.

The next second!

Pu—-

Zhi Qi spat a mouthful of bloody saliva on Taotie’s face.

Slap—-

A crisp sound echoed through the tent.

It was the sound of a shoe sole smacking against a face.

Slap slap slap—-

Taotie swung his shoe left and right, relentlessly smacking Zhi Qi’s face.

Fang Xiaocao watched coldly from the sidelines, with no intention of stopping him. The person before her was not Zhi Qi himself. Even if it wasn’t Thousand Faces himself, it was one of his subordinates; they deserved to be beaten to death.

Taotie continued slapping more than a dozen times until Zhi Qi’s face was a bloody, unrecognizable mess before he finally stopped.

Taotie still had a sense of measure, knowing Fang Xiaocao still needed to interrogate this fake Zhi Qi, so he did not beat the man to death.

Discarding the smelly shoe in his hand, Taotie reached out and pressed his large hand against the bloodied and mangled face of Zhi Qi.

Hiss—-

With a sweep of his hand, Taotie ripped off a piece of torn skin from Zhi Qi’s face.

As this skin was torn off, Zhi Qi’s face transformed into that of a strange woman.

Of course, it was equally mangled.

But it was not difficult to distinguish, this face was entirely different from Zhi Qi’s.

“Heh heh!”

Taotie let out a cold laugh.

“Worthy of being Thousand Faces, the Face-changing Technique is indeed extraordinary. If I hadn’t smashed your face, I really wouldn’t have caught the flaws in your disguise,” he said mockingly as he looked at the skin in his hands.

The fake Zhi Qi was tough, enduring even as his face was mangled, remaining silent but still glaring fiercely at Taotie with unblinking eyes. If looks could kill, Taotie would have been torn to shreds.

“What are you glaring at?”

“Glare again and I’ll gouge out your eyeballs and crush them!” Taotie threatened with a ferocious smile on his face.

“Traitor!”

“You will die a horrible death!” the fake Zhi Qi shouted hoarsely.

“Hahaha!”

Upon hearing the fake Zhi Qi’s curse, Taotie laughed as if he had heard the funniest joke. He laughed breathlessly for a long time before he could stop, then coldly said, “Whether I will die well, I don’t know, but you definitely won’t survive today!”

Taotie pulled out a small bottle from his pocket, filled with massive ants crawling all over each other inside.

He opened the cap, brought the bottle close to the mangled face of the fake Zhi Qi, and smiled, “Recognize what this is?”

Upon seeing the ants in the bottle, fear and panic flashed for the first time across the fake Zhi Qi’s eyes, which were filled with resentment.

“Heh heh!”

“Looks like you recognize them!” Taotie sneered, raising an eyebrow.

“You had better behave, or I’ll pour all these Desert Army Ants on your face and let them gnaw your face down to the bone!”

These Desert Army Ants, bought by Taotie from the black market at a high price from Jiang Xinyan, were used as torture instruments, much more effective than tiger benches and chili water.

At these words, Fang Xiaocao felt a chill run down her spine, waves of horrifying cold washing over her.

To watch as your own flesh is nibbled away bit by bit by ants–what a cruel and inhumane torture that would be!

Murder doesn’t cross a certain line!

That Taotie is truly ruthless!

“Bastard…”

the fake Zhi Qi cursed.

“Heh heh…”

Taotie responded with a cold laugh.

Taking tweezers, he picked up a Desert Army Ant and brought it close to the fake Zhi Qi’s face, sneering as he interrogated, “Speak, who are you?”

Gulp—-

Watching the menacing Desert Army Ant, the fake Zhi Qi, whose face had been battered without a whimper of pain, now swallowed in fear.

“Keep it away!”

“I’ll talk…”

“I am the guard of Lord Thousand Faces…”

“My code name is Huapi…”

The fake Zhi Qi, as Huapi, shouted aloud.

Taotie and Fang Xiaocao were both startled at the same time.

Taotie turned his head to look at Fang Xiaocao.

Fang Xiaocao furrowed her brows and looked down in silence.

“She is not Thousand Faces?”

“How is this possible?”

“Huapi?”

“How come I’ve never heard of this name before.”

The words of the fake Zhi Qi as Huapi, like a stone stirring up a thousand waves, troubled Fang Xiaocao’s mind.

Fang Xiaocao looked up at Taotie, seeking with her eyes whether he had heard of the name.

Taotie shook his head, indicating he also did not know whether the fake Zhi Qi was telling the truth or lying.

Fang Xiaocao, with brows tightly locked, looked at the woman claiming to be the guard of Thousand Faces named Huapi, “You’re deceiving us!”

Having said that, Fang Xiaocao waved her hand, signaling Taotie to give her a taste of pain regardless of the truth.

Taotie nodded and without hesitation, dropped the Desert Army Ant from the tweezers onto the bloodied cheek of Huapi.

Upon landing, the Desert Army Ant, like a starving ghost, vigorously waved its mandibles and forcefully tore at Huapi’s flesh.

“No…”

“I’ve already told you the truth…”

“You can’t treat me like this…”

Feeling the pain on her face, Huapi screamed in terror, constantly shaking her head in hopes of flinging the Desert Army Ants from her face.

Ignoring Huapi’s screams, Taotie focused on using the tweezers to continually pinch ants out of a small bottle and drop them onto Huapi’s face.

After dropping a dozen or so, Taotie finally stopped. By then, Huapi’s voice was hoarse. Even her gaunt cheeks showed a pit where the ants had been gnawing.

“I’m telling you…”

“Please, I beg you…”

“I really am Huapi, I haven’t lied to you…”

Huapi, with a hoarse voice, kept pleading.

Desert Army Ants are a fearsome species.

One ant is not terrifying by itself.

Being bitten by one only causes pain and numbness.

But a swarm of ants is frightening.

A swarm of ants can strip a wild boar to the bone.

Seeing that Huapi was nearly breaking down, Taotie looked at Fang Xiaocao, waiting for her command.

Fang Xiaocao nodded.

Understanding, Taotie used the tweezers to pick the ants burrowing into Huapi’s flesh, one by one, and put them back into the little bottle.

“Speak!”

“Where is Thousand Faces?”

Fang Xiaocao asked in a deep voice.

Huapi didn’t answer Fang Xiaocao’s question but took deep breaths instead.

“Damn it, Princess Your Highness is talking to you!”

Watching Huapi’s demeanor, Taotie yelled loudly.

As he spoke, he made a motion as if to bring out the Desert Army Ants again.

“No, no, please…”

“The one who escaped is Thousand Faces!”

Huapi, shaking her head in terror, replied loudly.

Hearing Huapi’s words, Fang Xiaocao raised an eyebrow and looked at her scrutinizingly.

“Are you saying Thousand Faces replaced Su Wanqing?”

Fang Xiaocao asked in a deep voice.

Huapi immediately nodded repeatedly, “Yes, yes, yes, it’s her, who else could escape other than Thousand Faces, the top assassin?”

It seemed that the Desert Army Ants in Taotie’s hand had terrified Huapi out of her initial defiance, and she spilt all she knew about Thousand Faces.

The more Huapi spoke, the tighter Fang Xiaocao’s brows furrowed.

The person Thousand Faces had replaced was actually Su Wanqing?

This was completely off from her initial analysis…
