Chapter 912: 598

Of course, although Mu Lin was not afraid of such things, she simply didn’t have that gruesome a taste, especially without a grudge or grievance.

Upon hearing Mu Lin’s words, Jing Chen’s expression didn’t change at all, which made the members of Ying Sun outside the dark room exchange puzzled looks.

What exactly did sister-in-law say? It couldn’t be... that thing, could it! Everyone thought that just the name made their skin crawl, and it seemed sister-in-law had indeed found someone to be her lab rat this time.

With such a name, if one were to take it literally.

Some people couldn’t help but swallow their saliva involuntarily, thinking that it would truly be disgusting and terrifying.

"Death by a Thousand Cuts." Upon hearing such a name, the other man couldn’t help but smile, "Sounds like a decent name." It seemed he was in for it today; however! The next moment, his expression changed, "Now, I’m genuinely curious about what it feels like, the so-called good stuff concocted by the legendary Poison Doctor." He was still talking tough.

Mu Lin, "It will surely be an experience you’ll never forget." After trying it once, you’ll never want a second time.

Since someone volunteered to be her little lab rat, why would she mind?

Pulling out something she had already prepared, "Do you want someone to feed it to you, or will you take it yourself?" Here, there were usually several options, it was just that one had to choose among them, after all.

Otherwise, she would help him choose.

Hearing Mu Lin’s words, the man stepped forward slightly and picked up the grey pill from the table and swallowed it without hesitation.

People pursed their lips, for the moment, he was quite the man.

Earth Wolf knew that there was no real choice for him here; however, he knew that they didn’t plan to kill him right now. If they wanted his life, they would have taken it by now. Yet, he also felt that they wanted more than just the information he had.

Because he understood that people like them had far more means to get information they didn’t know than he ever could.

What Earth Wolf didn’t realize was that trying new drugs was Mu Lin’s main goal; everything else was secondary.

If he knew that, he might’ve vomited himself to death.

There was no reaction at first after swallowing the pill, so slow that even Mu Lin began to doubt herself.

Could it be that her formulation was incorrect? But feeling no effect at all was impossible.

The members of Ying Sun were also staring intently, their eyes wide open in shock.

They exchanged glances—perhaps there was something wrong with the concoction sister-in-law had made this time? It had been so long, yet it still had not taken effect.

As time ticked by, after about five plus minutes, Earth Wolf finally showed the expected reaction.

Cold sweat began to bead on his forehead, his previously calm expression gradually changed, and then slowly turned hideously twisted until, eventually, he was writhing in pain on the floor, completely unable to control himself.

Neither his mind nor his actions.

At that moment, Earth Wolf’s only sensation was pain, the kind that made life feel worse than death; "Death by a Thousand Cuts," you simply had no idea where the next slice would come from. All you felt was pain throughout your body as if being torn apart from the inside out, completely powerless to resist the agony.

The sound of people swallowing their saliva in unison.

Watching the person’s predicament before them, the members of Ying Sun agreed that the most dangerous person in the world, who should never be crossed, was undoubtedly their sister-in-law!

Even though there were no visible wounds on him, it seemed as if he was truly suffering death by a thousand cuts, and they felt pain just watching it.

They were glad they hadn’t agreed to test the drug for sister-in-law.

As if she heard their thoughts, Mu Lin suddenly turned around and offered a faint smile, "Don’t worry, it won’t kill you." It was just a bit of pain, and this pain was carefully controlled so that it wouldn’t be fatal. However, as for how painful it actually was, she was still observing.

Everyone: Not dying makes it even more terrifying, okay!

There is an idiom that describes "a fate worse than death," which seemed to fit the scene before them perfectly.

Sitting there, her expression calm, not a ripple in her eyes, Mu Lin felt absolutely no pity for the man’s suffering.

She had given him a choice, and the agony he was now experiencing was due to his own decision; no one else was to blame.

Twenty minutes, it had been a solid twenty minutes since the ordeal started, and everyone finally came to their senses. The once ferocious Earth Wolf was now entirely bereft of his previous luster, looking completely like a stray dog that had lost its home.

The pain was fading, Earth Wolf’s rolling slowed down and stopped, and he slowly started to recover, but the agony in his body persisted, preventing him from moving.

At this moment, Earth Wolf was as pitiful as if he had just been dragged out of water, with only his eyes able to move while the rest of his body was too weak to even twitch, completely at the mercy of others.

Any movement would still bring pain as if he were being pierced by knives, his whole body writhing in agony as though he had truly been sliced to pieces.

Several times Earth Wolf even considered biting his tongue to kill himself to escape the torment; he truly couldn’t bear a moment more of the suffering, but he found he didn’t even have the right to end his own life.

Hehehe... He really didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Observing him coldly,

To be honest, even without considering anything else, Mu Lin almost wanted to commend him for enduring the drug’s effects.

Only... it seemed her new drug was somewhat of a failure, and she would need to return to the drawing board.

Now, the question was, where did the problem lie? Which step was it?
