Three minutes.

This period of time, while not really long, is undeniably brief.

Yet, for Mouchi Qingluo at this moment, the three minutes given by Beichuan Si... are undoubtedly an eternity.

People are afraid of the unknown.

The repressive sensation of tension just sitting there... the unknown fear of what might happen next... all these are gradually stripping away Mouchi Qingluo's ability to think.

She had already taken two heavy blows from Beichuan Si, her mind was still groggy, and with so many things to think about, this was simply impossible.

Moreover...

She cautiously raised her eyes.

In front of her were various cruel torture tools—flaying knives, tooth extraction pliers, and tools for peeling nails...

She shivered, and then glanced sideways at the handcuffs on her wrist.

Truthfully, with the good spirits she bore, unlocking the handcuffs was no issue at all.

But after unlocking them, could she escape?

Mouchi Qingluo couldn't imagine what kind of inhuman treatment she would suffer if she were caught by Beichuan Si again.

Besides, even if she managed to escape alone, what then? What about those family members lying on the ground...?

How would Beichuan Si treat them?

"That person... that person is definitely not normal!"

Thinking of Beichuan Si's face just now, Mouchi Qingluo felt even colder all over.

Those three minutes... were incredibly long.

Meanwhile, on the other side—

"Yes, like this, lower the air conditioning temperature, continue to lower it." Beichuan Si glanced at Gangye Yoshiko adjusting the air conditioning temperature, then turned his head to ask, "Yongshi, how many minutes has it been?"

Mouchi Yongshi, who was looking at his phone, turned his head and replied, "It's been fifteen minutes, Mr. Temple."

Fifteen minutes have passed...

Beichuan Si flicked his fingers and glanced again at Mouchi Qingluo fiercely struggling on the interrogation chair.

Through this one-way glass, he could see what Mouchi Qingluo was doing on the other side, but she couldn't see what was happening on this side. That's why Beichuan Si felt comfortable leaving her alone there.

"It's about time."

Beichuan Si stood up, called Nishijou Kelian and the others, grabbed a chainsaw, and headed back into the interrogation room.

"..." Gangye Yoshiko.

Gangye Yoshiko watched his departing back, then glanced at the trembling figure of Mouchi Qingluo curled up, and couldn't help but shake her head.

Mouchi Qingluo was truly unlucky.

Of all people to provoke, she had to choose Beichuan Si.

Look where it got her? Not finding anything and instead losing herself in the process.

But in the end, Beichuan Si wasn't using any extreme measures, just scaring Mouchi Qingluo a bit. As someone with a good relationship with him, Gangye Yoshiko naturally turned a blind eye to it.

At this moment, inside the interrogation room.

Beichuan Si walked in with the chainsaw in hand, looking at Mouchi Qingluo with a blank expression.

He asked calmly, "Have you thought it through? Miss Mouchi."

"I..."

Upon hearing Beichuan Si's words, Mouchi Qingluo instinctively hesitated.

Her hesitation lasted barely 0.5 seconds before the chainsaw roared down directly, brushing past her face!

The chains rattled with a trembling tearing sound, causing Mouchi Qingluo to scream out:

"I've thought it through! I've thought everything through!"

"Oh?"

Beichuan Si raised his head, withdrew the chainsaw, his voice unchanged: "That's right, I'm a very reasonable person."

A very reasonable person?

Mouchi Qingluo looked at Beichuan Si and the chainsaw roaring in his hand with shock and suspicion.

After quite a while, she forced herself to move her gaze off the chainsaw and evened her voice: "In reality... just like you said... we've been monitoring you for half a month."

Her voice trembled uncontrollably.

Mouchi Qingluo even cursed herself for being so cowardly.

Beichuan Si paid no mind to her mental turmoil; he simply reached out to stop the chainsaw, asking calmly:

"What is your purpose."

"Um..."

Mouchi Qingluo stalled for a moment.

It was truly just a moment—

She immediately heard the deadly chainsaw sound roar back to life.

This made Mouchi Qingluo's body tremble instinctively, her heart racing while she cursed inwardly:

Why do you keep thinking about your chainsaw?!

Though cursing in her mind, in reality she continued timidly: "It's... it's about... matters concerning our Mouchi family."

Matters concerning the Mouchi family?

Hearing this, Beichuan Si's thoughts sank slightly.

Looks like the previous feeling was right.

These people indeed came because of Shen Gu Mirai... the Mouchi Witch.

He previously had Gangye Yoshiko pull up these people's identity information and found that they were all from Kagoshima Prefecture, and since they shared the surname 'Mouchi'... this ancient family was still active.

"What matters."

Beichuan Si cut straight to the point, directly shoving the chainsaw nearly three centimeters from her face and asked.

"????" Mouchi Qingluo.

Gazing at the chainsaw so close to her face, she dared not move.

"It's... it's about some ceremonial rites within our family! You also possess special abilities, and three powerful good spirits; you should understand, right?!"

She no longer had the elegant dignity that Beichuan Si initially saw; now she seemed like a frightened hamster.

"Concerning ceremonial rites, are you referring to the Mouchi Witch?"
