I Am This Murim’s Crazy Bitch - Chapter 235: Even Vagabonds Have Their Own Code Of Honor. (8)
“Can you, can you really promise to spare my life, yes, can you promise on the honor of your sect and master?”
“I keep telling you. If you spit out everything you know without lying, I swear on my master’s and the Divine Maiden Sect’s honor that I’ll let you go safely this time. Just this time. You’re not asking me to never touch you again just because you spilled some information, right?”
Qing made the promise but added a condition.
She knew that adding such a clause actually made it more trustworthy.
“No. Um, first, my name is Yu Songguang, and I’m the senior martial artist of the Second Line Blood Parasite Team under Elder Gumok of the Blood Cult.”
“Second Line Blood Parasite Team?”
“The Second Line Blood Parasite is the name of a parasite with two lines on its body, and our team handles that parasite, so…”
The guard sincerely spilled everything he knew.
Information about the Blood Cult’s organization, team structure, his personal details and duties poured out haphazardly.
Due to the nature of the team handling blood parasites, their main purpose was to infiltrate the martial arts world and secure key figures by feeding them blood parasites.However, just feeding parasites wasn’t enough to feel secure, so there were various methods to remove the parasites.
So it was essential to feed parasites and then completely subjugate and break them through mental and physical torture.
Even if the parasites were removed, it was a process of making them into obedient puppets who would follow orders after being completely sickened.
“Then we use these discarded cooperators to feed parasites to key figures, or extract information, or get internal cooperation-“
“Wait.”
It wasn’t content Qing particularly wanted to know, but there were some points that concerned her.
“What do you mean by discarded cooperators? Doesn’t discarded mean thrown away? Is this some jargon you use among yourselves?”
“That. It’s the Leader and Vice Leader’s taste…”
The following content was unspeakably horrific.
As the final act in breaking captured prisoners, they were given to pigs, dogs, or beggars.
However, direct sexual torture was not allowed before that. It was the Leader and Vice Leader’s taste to cruelly take away the most precious thing only at the very end.
After experiencing that final disposal once, neither men nor women ever disobeyed again.
Qing briefly expressed her opinion:
“Hmm. I want to kill them all now.”
“But, but you said you’d spare me.”
“The promise is still valid. I swore on my sect and master’s honor, so I have no choice. But, blood parasites? Can you tell me more about them?”
And then she received a direct lecture from an expert on parasites.
“Well, I’ve told you everything I know.”
“Hmm. But I don’t know if you lied to me or not. So wait a moment. I’ll catch another one and cross-check.”
“I only told the truth-“
“Enough. If you lied to me about anything, this is your last chance to correct it. I clearly said I’d spare you if you told me everything without lying, right? What if you deceived me?”
Qing’s pupils contracted sharply.
Her eyes took on a very vicious appearance called the Four White Eyes, with white showing above and below the pupils, and an ominous purple light faintly rippled.
The Blood Cult warrior who called himself Yu Songguang choked and trembled violently.
He was overwhelmed by the true nature revealed by the Lonely Star of Heavenly Slaughter, the most evil star among all ominous stars.
“You’ll beg me to kill you. Should we start by peeling off your skin? Last chance. Anything you hid or lied about?”
“Well, actually…”
Some information was corrected, and some useless information was further revealed.
Judging by his desperate expression, it seemed he spoke properly this time.
“Then, now that I’ve told you everything…”
“Good. A promise must be kept.”
Qing nodded and spoke again.
“By the way, what’s the name of your father?”
The warrior gulped.
“Why are you asking that?”
“You didn’t tell me. I clearly told you to spit out everything you know. You were still hiding things?”
“No, no. My father is…”
And then family details he wasn’t even asked about spilled out.
“Is that so? Then what foods do you like? What foods do you dislike? What foods can’t you eat?”
“Why suddenly ask about food…”
“What are your hobbies? What’s your type in women? Who are your close friends, and what are your embarrassing childhood memories? Didn’t I ask you to tell me everything you know?”
Qing’s eyes narrowed.
“Why do I still not know so much when you told me everything? You were planning to deceive me from the start, weren’t you? My goodness, deceiving me? As promised, since you hid things, you have to die, right?”
“That doesn’t make sen-mmph.”
The Blood Cult warrior’s own pants were stuffed in his mouth.
Seeing Qing’s brightly blooming smile, he too finally realized.
She never intended to spare me in the first place.
The request to tell everything he knew was an impossible demand from the start, so of course it was something he couldn’t fulfill.
“I don’t know if this will comfort you, but you won’t be the only one going. So you don’t need to feel wronged about suffering alone.”
It didn’t comfort him at all, as the Blood Cult warrior struggled desperately.
Then Qing clapped her hands and spoke again:
“Ah, didn’t they say the soundproofing was perfect? Sorry. I’ll ungag you. It must be sad to be in pain too. You should at least be able to scream.”

[Omen, (Unknown)th Crisis]
[You have faced the Blood Cult’s evil purpose.]
Actions for mission completion
…
…
…
“This is ringing the bell after hearing everything.”
I figured it out, why are you pretending to tell me and taking credit?
Qing clicked her tongue and dismissed the newly updated martial arts window.
Still, it’s good to earn righteous karma as a mission while doing something enjoyable, and get additional cultivation points as a reward.
Rather than being told exactly what to do, which would make me feel like I’m being played, what’s with this attitude of not caring which side I take?
It’s so insincere that I really can’t feel any affection.
However, she didn’t feel anxious.
Qing was in her most refreshed and relieved state ever.
Qing took the key to the prison from what used to be the guard and got up twice.
The reason she got up twice was because she stumbled badly and fell over hard when trying to get up the first time, so she had to get up again.
This, when blood rushes to the skin, hmm. Really. Wow, it’s crazy. Really.
But well. It was really good, so isn’t a good thing good?
Qing, with unusually clear eyes, covered in blood, opened the prison door and headed outside.
The guard duty rotated with one person per day, she was told.
It was a very free duty where you could torment prisoners all day, then sleep on a makeshift bed at night or enjoy yourself by disturbing the prisoner’s sleep, with no one to bother you.
Moreover, you could rest all day the next day saying you were tired, so it was a sweet duty that only superiors could take on.
Somehow it’s a familiar culture, so it seems organizations called units operate similarly wherever you go.
Anyway, Qing who looked after her own safety had no hesitation in her actions.
The parasite was just an automatic purifying parasite that sucked up poison qi, and Qing could escape anytime if she wanted to.
What worried her was only the lifelines of the vagabonds who carelessly ate anything and ended up eating parasites too.
Even after eating two pills of evil medicine made by grinding people, they were below 100 points, so it would be right to save them if possible.
As someone said, it’s not that you imprisoned me, but that you’re imprisoned with me.
Which movie was that from? Bat? Alien?
The correct answer is neither, it’s Watchmen, but Qing couldn’t know anyway. The memories of her Korean heritage were now hazy, sometimes appearing in dreams and making her think “Ah, there was a time like that.”
When she wakes up from such dreams of her homeland, she can’t control the rising fear and just trembles for a while.
What if I go back?
Now, she was certain that she could never adapt to modern times.
Ah shit, bad thoughts again.
But because her body and mind were in such a refreshed state, she could shake them off without much difficulty.
Qing pushed open the iron door leading outside.
Kiiik, the iron door opened with a scream.
They should at least oil it, the facility maintenance was terrible.
Qing came out of the No. 2 Education Room, checked the numbers left and right, then knocked on the iron door of No. 1 Education Room.
Then an iron plate like a dog flap at the bottom of the door slid sideways and a voice answered:
“What, who is it?”
At the same time, Qing pushed the iron door with all her might.
Kiiik! The heavy iron door yielded helplessly to her superhuman strength and pushed open, then thud! As if hitting something, a strong resistance struck Qing’s wrist.
Qing quickly went inside, closed the iron door, and pushed the flap closed with her foot.
This made it completely sealed. The deceased’s last words were that no sound from inside could be heard at all.
Then oops.
The guard of Education Room No. 1 was rolling on the floor with blood streaming from his head.
“Shit, he shouldn’t die. What a waste.”
Qing hurriedly checked the guard’s pulse.
Qing only liked dissecting living things, not the filthy and disrespectful bad taste of touching corpses.
Fortunately, the guard seemed to have just lost consciousness from a concussion.
Qing stripped him and tied his arms and legs to prevent him from escaping.
Knowing the soundproofing was good so there was no need to gag him, knowledge is power and this is why the ancestors advised that people should learn.
Qing took the key to the prison cell and opened the door. Then came a terrified voice:
“Hiiik.”
It was a voice coming from a small iron box in the center of the cell.
There was one in Qing’s room too, which she thought was a toilet, but it turned out to be one of the torture devices.
They make you squeeze yourself into that small box, and every time you come out, they make the parasite spew poison to torment you.
Qing sighed deeply and said:
“Miss? Are you alright?”
“I’m not a miss, I’m livestock. I’m not a miss, I’m livestock. I’m not a miss, I’m livestock…”
Hmm. This one’s state has completely gone off.
Qing scratched her head.
Operation Flower Destruction.
This was the Blood Cult’s purpose that Qing discovered.
Despite the very serious-sounding operation name, its content was quite petty.
It was an operation to ruin the Murim Conference and drag the prestige and face of the orthodox martial arts world into the ground.
The plan was to capture the most famous person in the city where the orthodox Murim Alliance was firmly established, during their biggest event, and cruelly break and display them.
For a famous person that the Second Line Blood Parasite Team could handle, they couldn’t target a master.
To begin with, if it’s a martial artist above the Unrestrained Realm, they’d just burn up ordinary parasites along with the poison qi.
Excluding masters, it would be a famous rising star, and among them, to cause a big shock, they naturally aimed for the Five Flowers of Murim, the beautiful flowers loved by the entire orthodox martial arts world.
Hence Operation Flower Destruction, to destroy the flowers.
The initial plan was for the easy target Lily.
But orders from above said not to touch her, so that was passed.
Poison Flower wouldn’t be affected by parasites, so passed.
Present Flower didn’t even participate in the Murim Conference.
So the remaining targets were Snow Flower and Sword Flower, either one or both.
Snow Flower was holed up and rarely came out so they were waiting for an opportunity, and while watching Sword Flower, they quickly captured her when she left the city, seemingly embarrassed by her defeat to a vagabond in the martial arts competition, and were in the middle of “educating” her.
“Miss Murong? It’s me, Ximen Qing.”
“I’m not a miss, I’m-“
At this, the top of her head peeked out, then the iron box shook violently and finally toppled over on its side.
In the meantime, Murong Juhui barely extracted her body, or rather, spilled out onto the floor with a thud.
