This passage of time is extremely exaggerated.
Basically, one day in the real world is a hundred years in the dream.
And the people in the dream will be subjected to repeated torture for a hundred years, unable to think at all.
Many people who have been subjected to this torture device.
In the end.
Will generally experience a mental breakdown.
This was recommended to Baiyu by He Jin before he came.
It's a highly effective tool.
Perfect for dealing with grandmaster-level experts like Dragon Head.
Baiyu did not hesitate at all. He smirked coldly at Dragon Head and directly used the Heart of Hell.
This thing.
Is basically a constantly beating heart.
The method of use is very simple, just hold it in your hand.
After that.
Began a long, drawn-out battle.
Because of the core technique, Baiyu didn't need to sleep, and during his use of the Heart of Hell, as long as a day passed, Dragon Head would endure a hundred years of torture in the dream.
So it was basically like.
Every day Baiyu passed, Dragon Head had to endure a hundred years of torment; neither could sleep.
This is a different kind of endurance test.
And when it comes to enduring, Baiyu is a professional.
For the next three days, Baiyu stayed in the Anomaly Bureau's prison, engaging in a battle of wits and patience with Dragon Head, slowly wearing him down.
Three days later.
Baiyu released the Heart of Hell, and the imprisoned Dragon Head woke from the nightmare of hundreds of years.
In the cell.
Dragon Head stared blankly at everything, the surroundings were so strangely unfamiliar yet familiar.
For these past centuries.
He had been in hell, subjected to endless torture every day.
As a grandmaster-level martial artist, his spirit and mind naturally couldn't be so fragile.
In the beginning.
He was very clear that he was caught in an illusion realm or dream, something Baiyu used with extraordinary items.
So he was very patient.
Even enduring daily torture didn't shake him.
After all, to reach the level of a grandmaster, he had endured an unimaginable amount of hardship, and a bit of torture couldn't possibly affect him.
However.
As time went on, Dragon Head started to doubt himself.
Was he really in a dream?
When would this torture finally end?
Any form of torture.
Pales in comparison to the passage of time.
Especially when alone in a silent world, facing repeated torment.
A normal person might go insane in just a month or two.
But.
Dragon Head lasted for hundreds of years.
Until after a hundred years, his spirit and will began to collapse, by two hundred years, he couldn't think anymore.
After Baiyu ended the Heart of Hell's ability, he had been in a hellish dream for over three hundred years.
Now fully conscious again, he couldn't even speak for a while.
And Baiyu.
At this point was also at his limit.
This thing, not only does it prevent sleep, but it also drains one's physical strength and spiritual power, just like continuous high-intensity combat.
For an ordinary person.
They might really not be able to hold on.
"Dragon Head, long time no see."
At this point, Baiyu had recovered, his eyes filled with a cold smirk.
The vacant eyes of Dragon Head, upon hearing Baiyu's voice, gradually regained their gleam.
Intense hatred rekindled his otherwise dead heart.
However.
Once he opened his mouth all that came out was "Ah ba ah ba."
He couldn't speak anymore...
After all, in the dream for hundreds of years, no one spoke; too long without communication, the brain forgets how to talk.
Baiyu frowned.
This guy can't speak, so how can he cooperate with the subsequent plan?
The Heart of Hell's effect is so strong, yet it's rated as only a C Level extraordinary item, which makes no sense.
But.
This thing can indeed only be used on one person, and only when the opponent is completely unable to resist.
When the enemy is incapable of resisting, it seems unnecessary to even use it.
This thing.
Is practically made for interrogation.
Thinking this way, Baiyu felt that rating it as C Level was normal.
After waiting a while, Dragon Head finally regained his ability to speak, glaring at Baiyu with overwhelming hatred in his eyes.
But at this moment.
This hate clearly contained fear.
And judging by his actions, he might have become somewhat neurotic due to the centuries of torment.
"What do you want to do?"
After a long silence.
Dragon Head's speech was no longer as irrational as at first, but rather based on careful consideration, wanting to hear what Baiyu really intended.
The calmness of hundreds of years indeed had an effect.
Baiyu said, "It's simple. I plan to govern the underground world of Mountain City. Since Dragon Head, you were able to enter the city silently, I suppose those underground martial artists helped you a lot?"
Since Dragon Head is a grandmaster-level martial artist.
Someone of this level entering Mountain City would certainly be closely monitored and watched.
But at the Anomaly Bureau, not a single message was received, obviously indicating that someone helped conceal him.
"So what if they did?"
Dragon Head didn't refute, nor did he give a direct answer.
Of course.
Neither did he curse Baiyu.
He had indeed been frightened; if subjected to the Heart of Hell again, he felt he would really go insane.
In fact.
Now that he could still retain his sanity, it was somewhat of a miracle to him.
Baiyu said, "Since you know quite a few underground martial artists and are also the leader of Longyuan, I ask you to do me a small favor.
Help me gather the key figures among the underground martial artists.
You know.
Mountain City now is in dire need of manpower.
I'm offering them an opportunity to become official martial artists, so they don't have to live in hiding every day."
Dragon Head squinted his eyes at these words: "Baiyu, you want to target the underground martial artists?"
"What are you talking about?
I'm giving them a legitimate identity.
Do you know how many underground martial artists desire to gain a formal martial artist status?"
Baiyu said, "Now, I just need you to help me gather them up. I'll personally speak with them.
If not.
Then I'll have to clean out Mountain City's entire underground world.
We're about to go to war.
There are still traitors of another race in the city. If left unchecked, chaos will eventually ensue.
And the ones most prone to becoming traitors.
Apart from those of the noble classes, are precisely these people from the underground world.
Dragon Head, this is a matter where you could become a legend, only you can save them."
Dragon Head's face turned livid, looking at Baiyu's indifferent expression, his heart surged with killing intent.
Not just hatred towards this boy.
But also dread.
If not removed, in the future Longyuan will surely be destroyed in his hands.
This person is too insidious and ruthless.
Is a major threat!
"Think it over thoroughly, I'll give you a week, let me know whenever you've decided.
If you don't agree.
Then I'll have to proceed with my means of cleaning up.
The bloodshed it would cause is too much; I wouldn't want that unless absolutely necessary."
After speaking.
Baiyu didn't waste words with Dragon Head, turned around and left.
The cell returned to silence.
Baiyu left so freely, catching Dragon Head off guard.
He initially thought.
This bastard would use various means to torture and interrogate him, to make him comply.
But Baiyu did no such thing.
If Baiyu really intended to, Dragon Head was ready to end his life directly, to avoid humiliation.
But now.
He was seriously pondering over Baiyu's words.
After enduring hundreds of years of torture, his hatred for Baiyu was bone-deep. If he could exchange lives with Baiyu on the spot now, he wouldn't hesitate.
However.
Even if he hated Baiyu, it didn't change the fact that he was now a prisoner.
The Longyuan organization.
Is an underground martial artist organization.
And he himself was born an underground martial artist.
So he had special feelings for the group of underground martial artists.
Moreover, because of years of Imperial control, oversight, and even capture of underground martial artists, Longyuan harbored intense resentment toward the Imperial forces.
If he were to follow Baiyu's suggestion.
He would have to purge Mountain City's underground world, and Dragon Head's old friends wouldn't likely escape unscathed.
But if he helped Baiyu, wouldn't that make him an Imperial lapdog?
Besides.
Is Baiyu truly so kind-hearted as to allow such a large group of people to gain formal martial artist status?
Dragon Head was confused.
After hundreds of years of torment, he felt his brain was a little sluggish, becoming quite dull.
At this moment.
He momentarily set aside his hatred, weighing the pros and cons of the whole situation.
Longyuan within the underground martial artists, indeed has a prestigious reputation, greatly respected, but if this situation is not handled well, Longyuan may fall from grace.
