My Identity Is Becoming More and More Astonishing

"You... what did you call me?"

In the rugged stone fortress hall, the Holy Spirit Clan slowly stood up incredulously, extending a "pig trotter" and pointing at themselves, "Say it again?"

Chen Yu hesitated, "Could it be that you... don’t age?"

"Insolence!" The lead guard was immediately terrified, trembling all over, "How dare you insult the great Holy Spirit! An unforgivable sin!"

"No... didn’t you guys tell me it was a sow?" Chen Yu was bewildered, instinctively taking a half step back, "Then is it male or female. Ah. I might have said something wrong." Read new chapters at Freewebnovel

"Nonsense!" The guard’s voice was sharp, "When did we ever say that! What the hell are you barking?!"

Chen Yu felt wronged, bowing his head in silence.

"Great Holy Spirit, this man is spouting nonsense and committing grave sins. Please allow me to execute him right here..."

"Hold on." The Holy Spirit Clan interrupted the guard, slowly walking down from the high platform with their corpulent body, circling around Chen Yu twice, then squinting their eyes and speaking in a low voice, "Tell me, what exactly did they say."

"...They didn’t really say much."

"Speak clearly and I may spare your life."

"Really?!" Chen Yu’s eyes lit up immediately.

"Master, don’t listen to his random accusations!" The guard was pale, "He’s clearly..." @@novelbin@@

"Shut up." The Holy Spirit Clan swept a cold glance at the guard, then continued to Chen Yu, "Speak."

"They didn’t really say much." Chen Yu scratched his head, "Just that on the way they took me into custody, they mentioned, ’that sow will definitely have me executed’."

"He’s slandering me!" The guard despaired, "Master, he’s slandering me!"

"Tell me, who all said it." The Holy Spirit Clan smiled.

"Him." Chen Yu immediately pointed at the lead guard, "And them them them."

"All four said it?"

"Yep."

"Oh."

Nodding, the Holy Spirit Clan slowly returned to the high platform and settled down comfortably, "Human, I know you are lying to me."

Upon hearing this, the four guards, who had a look of utter despair, suddenly found a glimmer of hope.

"But I don’t care," the Holy Spirit Clan added.

The four guards: "..."

"So, you, along with you four." It gestured with a hoof, "Collectively throw in a cell. Beheading at noon tomorrow."

"It’s a false accusation!" the lead guard wailed.

"Of course, if you four can extract the names of his accomplices by tomorrow noon," the Holy Spirit Clan said lazily, "for each one you identify, one of you will earn your life."

With that remark.

The gaze of the four guards on Chen Yu instantly changed.

Filled with bitterness and anticipation.

"Damn," Chen Yu was astonished, "are you also a politician?"

...

Half an hour later.

In the gloomy torture chamber three levels below the fortress.

"Snap!"

Under the flickering candlelight, the lead guard straightened the glowing red steel whip in his hand, his rage burning, his powers fully unleashed, glaring fixedly at Chen Yu and furiously exclaiming, "You bastard! I didn’t do anything to wrong you, did I? I was even quite nice to you on the way, so why pin this on us?"

Aside from his three colleagues.

He felt no one else could understand how he felt at that moment.

What is human wickedness?

Fucking this is it!

"If it weren’t for the Holy Spirit discerning right from wrong, we might truly have ended up buried with you today," another guard clenched the bone clamp in his hands, suppressing his resentment, "Speak up! Who are the accomplices? Who could sneak into the forbidden area without inside help, relying solely on you?"

"The Third Elder." Without waiting for the guards to make a move, Chen Yu immediately confessed.

One hour later...

The handcuffed and shackled Third Elder shook all over from rage, "Why are you making me take the blame?"

Two hours later...

The handcuffed and shackled Second Elder looked incredulous, "Why are you making me take the blame?"

Three hours later...

The handcuffed and shackled three forbidden area officers, "Why are you making us take the blame?"

Four hours later...

The handcuffed and shackled Great Elder was bewildered, "I’m on vacation. What happened?"

Five hours later...

The handcuffed and shackled two guards at the fortress gate, "We just glanced at him once before!"

Six hours later...

A chef holding a spatula, "???"

Unknowingly, as dusk approached,

The once spacious underground torture chamber had become overcrowded.

The "suspects" surrounded Chen Yu in inner and outer circles, their eyes filled with outrage as if palpable.

"What he says, you believe, are you idiots?" the Third Elder, furious, glanced at the four guards, "If I were an accomplice, could I have willingly caught him?"

"...Master, we had no choice," the lead guard helplessly said, "He accused, so we have to investigate."

"Do you think this will let you make it out alive by luck?" the Third Elder sharply eyed Chen Yu, "Naive."

"Speak out your real accomplices, if any," the Great Elder said expressionlessly, his tone somber, "End this farce. You have no one else to ’snitch’ on now."

"What’s wrong? Can’t we just beat him up first?"

"I still have to cook..."

"Very busy. Hurry up."

"You say I’m an accomplice, do you have evidence? I don’t even know you, alright?"

"Fuck!"

"Mom, I’m scared..."

"Let me count. Hmm. Seems like except for the backyard watchdog, everyone from the castle who can breathe is here."

The people in the torture room suddenly became noisy,

Everyone cursing and swearing.

The upside-down Chen Yu was thrilled, shouting out, "Right, there’s one more! The backyard watchdog!"

"..."
