Chapter 1415 1410: Purgatory Inspector
Upon hearing the other party proactively mention Qian Xunmei, Su Chen finally couldn't hold back and asked him, "What exactly did you do to her, why is she in such pain?""Hehe, want to know? How about experiencing it yourself?" The black-robed man laughed eerily.
"Alright." Su Chen nodded without hesitation.
Su Chen's straightforward agreement surprised the black-robed man: "Are you truly willing to try?"
"What, can't you do it? Or can you only do that kind of thing to one person?" Su Chen taunted.
"Kid, it's been a long time since I've encountered someone as arrogant as you. But since you've asked for it, I'll indulge you." The black-robed man sneered coldly.
"Just afraid you won't satisfy me." Su Chen snorted coldly in return.
He wanted to personally experience the black-robed man's power. He couldn't relieve Qian Xunmei's pain, so the only option was to start with the black-robed man.
But expecting the black-robed man to voluntarily release it seemed unlikely, so he had to actively seek his flaw.
The black-robed man laughed coldly without saying anything further. He just stood there in front of Su Chen.
But soon, something bizarre occurred.
Su Chen felt stabs of pain, initially indistinct, but without much delay, Su Chen suddenly experienced a change in his vision.
He saw a forest, a group of seventeen or eighteen-year-old youths stood blankly in the rain, which continued to fall overhead.
In front of these youths stood a stern-faced middle-aged man, looking coldly at the youngsters before him. After soaking in the rain for a full two hours, one of the youths finally succumbed to the pressure and fell.
Rather than medical care, he was met with a cold blade.
Two youths in camouflage emerged from tents in the camp, finished off the unconscious fallen teen, and took him away.
Faintly visible, a few more youths with no signs of life lay in a ditch not far away.
The stern-faced middle-aged man finally spoke: "If you fall, you're truly dead. If you don't want to die, strive to survive, outlive others; only one among you can walk out of the camp alive."
His words finally prompted one of the expressionless teens to stand out: "But many have already died. Those of us who survived are the cream of the crop. Must there be only one survivor?"
The youths initially entering the camp numbered not just this mere forty or fifty, but a full thousand; yet now, only forty or so remained standing.
That's already a survival rate of one in twenty.
But this demon-like instructor declared that only one among them could survive.
Even though they had become numb to life and death, they were still inevitably moved.
The boy who stepped out did so because, aside from himself, his younger brother was also in the camp!
"You dissent?" The stern middle-aged man asked coldly.
The boy pursed his lips and stared stubbornly, silent.
The stern man suddenly cracked a smile: "Defeat me, and you can redefine the camp's rules. Otherwise, only death awaits."
"I won't bully you, I'll limit my power to match yours. Defeat me, and you can leave here alive, redefine the rules."
The words from the stern-faced man were extraordinarily enticing.
The youth ultimately chose to battle, but the final outcome was clear; he died.
In front of all the camp's youths, he was brutally slaughtered by the stern-faced man.
In the crowd, a boy clenched his fists, eyes filled with hatred, yet he remained silent. Standing out meant inevitable death!
Afterwards, Su Chen felt the scene shift again, overwhelming pain surged towards him.
The youth in the camp faced various challenges, repeatedly roaming death's edge, yet through an inexplicable perseverance, he survived time after time.
The suffering endured in this process was unimaginable to ordinary people.
As Su Chen digested this memory, the pain deepened.
Even with his physical resilience, the pain made him instinctively frown.
Su Chen experienced pain while browsing those memories.
Eventually, Su Chen was fairly certain that the memories came from this black-robed man.
He transferred the pain he once suffered to others through his superpower.
Making others feel the agony he had previously endured.
Such a power was unprecedented for Su Chen, incredibly eerie; yet he could fully withstand the pain because the past suffering he endured was far more intense.
In the memory, the boy grew gradually, became stronger, until ultimately only he remained in the training camp.
The stern-faced middle-aged man was quite pleased with his persistent transformation.
However, little did he expect that years later, this youth he valued most would become the one that took his life.
He was now the Purgatory Black Robed Patrol Envoy!
Purgatory's hierarchy was strict, aside from the Purgatory Master, there were four Prison Kings and an unknown number of Inspectors.
The black-robed man before Su Chen was one of Purgatory's Inspectors.
From the lowest rank, he climbed step by step to his current position, one can imagine the price he paid, especially within an Organization like Purgatory, one mistake meant genuine purgatory.
"Since your brother was killed by Purgatory, why do you still serve them?" Su Chen suddenly asked.
Su Chen's words seemingly stung the black-robed man.
"What do you understand? Only within Purgatory can I seize power, avenge those who once caused me pain!" The black robe spoke lowly, eyes brimming with hatred and anger.
In Purgatory, he suffered far too much; pain he never wished to feel again.
"This time, you arrived in Huaxia under the identity of the Arsonist mercenary group, what exactly are you planning?"
Having recognized the adversary's identity through those painful memories, Su Chen straightforwardly inquired.
"Heh, what do you think I'm here for?"
"What do I think?" Between flashes of thought, a figure appeared in Su Chen's mind!
Wasn't the attacker of Xue Wei from Purgatory?!
"Are you here for the guy who died here?" Su Chen's gaze sharpened.
"Looks like I've found the right person, his death should be tied to you." The black-robed man also became solemn.
Arriving in Huaxia, leveraging the identity of Arsonist mercenary group members, was specifically to investigate the cause of the King of Explosions' death.
The King of Explosions perished in Huaxia not due to a mission, but during vacation!
