Chapter 145: Violent Means
Magic flows in an orderly manner in the darkness, and they are one with the darkness in the room. With some light, magic and darkness move like a tide.
The magic power in this studio isolated from the outside world is much more abundant than on the streets. Even people without any magic capacity can clearly feel the magic power flowing in the air. It is like throwing a person into water, and the rich magic power brushes through every pore on their body like running water.
The spell's studio is always built in areas with relatively abundant magic power, whether it is the nodes where natural magic power flows through or the high magic space created with artificial materials - only with enough magic power can we better complete spell research or the creation of spell items.
There is no doubt that using magical materials to build a space that can provide the experiments of the magicians more than astronomical. So long ago, the magicians began to choose to build their own studios in places where magic is highly concentrated.
Castles or towers, libraries or cabins - and even cellars. The magicians who can build studios have naturally extraordinary achievements in spells, but their aesthetics are sometimes unsatisfactory. These studios have become the prototype of some academies.
With the development of the times, the magic furnace that replaces the natural magic nodes has also been developed - and what follows is naturally a major change in the research direction of the spells. The emergence of the power mechanism allows the spells to prepare larger-scale spells and also provides many conveniences for research.
In recent years, the development of modern technology has been able to overcome the limitations of some space, exchange magic power for other energy to continue to be transported, and distribute the magic power extracted from the magic furnace to various places in need. Thanks to this, the magicians have also become easier to choose the studio. Even the desert of magic power can be used to build efficient magic studios through the electrical network.
However, this technology has not been popularized in the Dominion, and only a few public laboratories of the academies and talent dispatch agencies have connected the magic network. However, this is enough for now. After all, there is no place where there is too high magic required except for the area where these magicians are concentrated.
Obviously, the room is not connected to a magic supply line. In terms of design, it even chose a closed basement to avoid excessive magic reactions. These magical powers that are constantly surging like tides cannot be filled in the air by centralized supply.
"The time is up, what are you thinking about... Should I say it now, or should I beat you up first and then think about it?" It seemed to reflect the emotions of the owner of the room, the air and magic power were spinning together. "Or, let me flip through your brain by myself?"
Liqi's expression maintained a mask-like calmness, and the threat from the thin mouth seemed unconvincing, but he obviously didn't just say it. But the magic that flowed in the air had indeed conveyed her attitude to the boy tied to the chair.
Maybe Liqi looks weaker than him, but the distinction between strength and weakness is not just about body shape - if Liqi really wants to kill him now, just a knife is enough.
As Liqi herself said, although she is interested in pretending to be dead, she will never kill others casually - although she does have this ability. She likes things that can make herself happy, but it is definitely not included in the list of people's blood and blood splatters and wails through torture.
Liqi is not opposed to using violence to solve problems. As long as the situation she faces is indeed necessary to use violence to solve, she will choose to use violence as a means without hesitation. She is not unwilling to care about the process, but she cares more about whether the result can achieve her goals.
So when using violence in all ways is the most appropriate way, she will choose to start using violence. If it is to squeeze intelligence, then using some relatively rough methods to ask is not an unexpected situation - of course, she will generally give the other party a chance to consider.
"I am different from a guy who always wants to solve problems with conversation. I don't show mercy when I move thickly." Liqi seemed to want to give the teenager a last warning. He leaned close to his body and stood in front of the teenager and said, "And even if he is, he will use violence when necessary."
Curt is a pacifist—at least so he claims that he does not use violence without any need, and does not surrender like any form of violence. Violence can solve many problems, and can also solve the object itself that produces the problem. But it cannot solve all problems.
But this definitely does not mean that he will not fight - Curt opposes most forms of violence, pursuing a gentle and non-violent way to resolve conflicts and confrontations between people. But when the situation forces the situation to take up weapons, his actions are often many times more violent than those who often put violence in their hands.
Curt once said to Liqi: "Smart creatures master language not for mutual cursing and slandering each other. Language as a tool for mutual communication is also the basis for us to cooperate. As long as it is not an unresolved conflict, then people can still solve problems through communication."
Tolerance and mildness are not out of weakness, but another way to solve the problem. In order to achieve "peace" between people, sometimes we must also take up weapons - to pull those who cannot communicate in words back to reality, sufficient strength is indispensable.
"snort……"
Unfortunately, the boy seemed to disagree with Li Qi's threat, and he finally made the first reaction to enter the studio... but it was a cold snorting with disdain. Perhaps in his opinion, even if Li Qi was a magician, a weak girl could not do a "violent act" that threatened his safety. He even began to look at Li Qi with a contemptuous look.
If you don’t commit suicide, you may not die, but if you commit suicide, you will definitely die - especially in this environment. It seems that this young man does not know what he is doing. When the ownership of his life is held in his hands, he is still constantly angering the other party with his words and deeds. This is very unwise.
"Very good, it seems you have made a choice." Liqi nodded helplessly, and the last expression on her face disappeared, with only a mechanical response. "Don't you know that you have walked on the gallows without the noose on your neck?"
The voice asked not, "Don't you judge the situation?" This way of asking the other party's opinions was not a threat to let the other party know his own situation. This Guanci was just an sigh at the boy's attitude. He looked at Li Qi's threat like a martyr who was about to die.
Liqi's reaction was also very direct to the boy who looked at her without changing her face - if she could not get cooperation without violence, then it would be as the other party wished.
With Li Qi's simple gestures, the shadow tentacle that wrapped around the boy pulled him up and hung him to a height that could barely touch the ground with his toes. Following this was a simple and direct jab, Li Qi's thin fist cut through the dull air and sank into the boy's chest.
Bang!
The limbs were constantly colliding, and the expressionless Liqi simply beat the boy who was hung up by the tentacles like a sandbag. In an instant, the sound of blows broke the silence covering the studio. The boy's body was swollen under the punches and kicks, and his face wrinkled in pain.
But he still gritted his teeth and did not scream.
"Cough cough! Cough cough cough cough!"
Finally, Liqi stopped fists and looked at the frowning boy silently. He was attacked continuously and finally could take a breath, but he emitted a series of choking and coughing. Boxing without magic was not infused with destructive power, but it was easy to make people feel pain. Liqi aimed at an insignificant position every time she attacked, and was simply applying pain to avoid causing serious damage to his body.
"This is the first time, just treat it as a meeting gift. I always welcome you to tell me what you know, but if you don't want to say anything, I have to gradually increase the weight. You can rest assured that since I promised that guy, I will control my strength as much as possible."
Liqi's voice was speechless, and she could not hear any mood fluctuations. Her gestures controlled the magic in the air, and gradually formed spells for the healing of her body on her fingertips. But for a moment, the scars left by punches and kicks were wiped out by the spell, leaving only pain to the boy.
The content of their conversation is indeed a very important thing - however, even if Liqi uses violence to squeeze out information, she is not as excited or high as ordinary people should be. Even if she is threatening with words, her attitude of speaking seems too weak. Her eyes do not have the emotion that humans should have. Her eyes, which are as dark as mud, are just staring at the boy coldly.
"Anyway, even if you really want to remove a few of your bones, I will still use a simple healing spell. Anyway, the premise is just 'can't kill' you, that is, I can do anything in the category of not killing - to be honest, I really hope you can change your decision before you regret it."
Death is just a matter of a moment, and seeking death is not the most terrible situation - she still has plenty of time, and she still has time to slowly ask out things from the boy. Anyway, the damage can be treated with spells, and Liqi is not worried that she will accidentally beat the boy seriously and die.
Next, it depends on how much the boy can hold on.
With a snap of his fingers, the magic power in the air slowly flowed again. Liqi relaxed her wrist casually, as if she announced that the dialogue in the form of a simple manner was over.
"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha..."
But for some reason, the boy suddenly laughed, and the laughter gradually became high, rubbing against the air, emitting waves of pulsation echoing in the deep darkness. (To be continued)
