"We don't know! We are just responsible for research; we are innocent! Where exactly the horse talisman curse was sent? We really don't know, we were forced to come here... Yes! Those two soldiers you killed, they would have led us to where the horse talisman curse is located. Now that they are dead, we don't know where to go anymore..." The head researcher, seeing Robert's question, quickly turned his gaze to Robert and pleaded sincerely.
"Please, let us go, we really are innocent! We were all forced... We haven't done anything bad..."
"We are all scientific researchers, top talents from various universities, we are valuable. How about this, as long as you let us go, we will do anything..."
"As for the horse talisman curse, we have a lot of research data saved, and we can hand it all over to you..."
"Puff! Puff! Puff!"
Before the head researcher could finish speaking, he was pierced through by a wave of Qi energy. The Qi wave spun around, piercing through the bodies of all the researchers present, leaving no survivors.
"Do I look easy to fool? The scent of blood on you isn't even dry. How dare you claim to be innocent?" Robert sneered at the bodies of the researchers on the ground and muttered as he walked towards the two super soldiers, "And you were about to pull out guns from your sleeves to shoot me, thinking I'm blind?"
"Glug!" Slade involuntarily swallowed his saliva, looking at Robert in disbelief. Slade had seen some extraordinary powers and could be considered part of the extraordinary realm with his highly developed brain, but he had never seen abilities like Robert's...
"It seems the injuries are quite severe, they are not dead yet but close to it..." Robert temporarily ignored Slade and walked over to the two critically injured super soldiers. Since the researchers had asserted that the super soldiers knew the location of the horse talisman curse, and with what Slade had mentioned earlier, Robert's only hope now rested on these two super soldiers.
The researchers had been uncooperative and even attempted to shoot him...
Researcher: I had just touched the gun!
With a thought, Robert sent a surge of Qi into one of the super soldiers' bodies.
Healing Technique! Awakened due to the appearance of the horse talisman curse, it was useless for Robert himself but miraculous for healing others, almost comparable to Senzu Beans!
"Hmm?" The super soldier soon regained consciousness. Visibly, he appeared confused, and his expression changed dramatically when he saw Robert and the bodies of the researchers behind him. He instinctively tried to punch Robert but was immediately restrained.
Following with a combination of the Binding Technique and Mind Reading Technique, it wasn't difficult for Robert to subdue an ordinary super soldier. Learning from the previous encounter with the researchers, Robert didn't bother to talk to them. If they had useful information, good; if not, death awaited them. The curse would surely surface again if it had been used once, unless it would never be used again...
"What the hell is this place?" Robert quickly saw some images through mind reading. Indeed, there was information about the whereabouts of the horse talisman curse, but the problem was, the images were all from inside a base, and Robert still didn't know its location.
This was a limitation of mind reading. Even though Robert's power had greatly increased, deciphering the images obtained through mind reading was still difficult.
"Crack!" Surprisingly, the super soldier, realizing what Robert's actions meant, bit down on a poison pill in his teeth. As he glared at Robert fiercely, he said, "You can't kill all of us. Cut off one head, and two more will grow... Hail Hydra!"
"Hail Hydra!" Robert preemptively finished the super soldier's line, leaving the soldier, who was dying with his beliefs, slightly confused and frustrated. He tried to say something else, but soon lost consciousness.
"Buzz!" Unfortunately for the super soldier, Robert wasn't about to let him die just yet. With another thought, Robert's healing technique revived the soldier again. Poison-induced near-death was no match for the healing technique.
"I'm curious how many poison pills are in your teeth!" Robert's lips curled slightly in amusement.
"Huh? This is hell... No, wait, why are you still here? Didn't I die?" The super soldier was unable to forget Robert, especially after having his line stolen, leading to a frustrated demise.
Hearing Robert shout "Hail Hydra," the super soldier's first reaction was that Robert was an ally. But he soon realized this was impossible; Robert must have just had dealings with Hydra.
"Don't worry, you won't die. Until you answer my questions, you cannot die no matter what!" Robert assured the super soldier with a warm smile.
"You think we didn't anticipate this? Crack!" The super soldier sneered, biting down on another poison pill. "Rescuing me is useless. You'll never get useful information from a Hydra soldier because... Hydra..."
"Hail Hydra!" Robert interrupted the super soldier again.
"Puff!" The soldier coughed up blood and lost consciousness, frustrated.
"Ew, so unhygienic!" Robert dodged the poisonous blood, releasing the healing technique again.
"Buzz!" The super soldier was revived once more, now in utter silence.
"Crack!" This time, the super soldier didn't even bother with "Hail Hydra," biting down on another poison pill and opting for silence, attempting to die again.
"Huh? More?" Robert was surprised, muttering, "If they accidentally bit down on these during a meal, wouldn't that be the end?"
"Buzz!" Robert shook his head and revived the super soldier yet again.
"Such poison pills always have an antidote during meals, but they don't usually carry the antidote with them," Slade commented, seeming quite knowledgeable about the matter.
"The scene is too beautiful, I dare not look..." Robert imagined a scenario where a super soldier accidentally bit down on a poison pill during a meal, then frantically swallowed the antidote, and afterwards refilled his teeth with poison pills. He shook his head and muttered softly.
"Kill me!" The super soldier, having revived again, looked at Robert with a look of despair. After experiencing death so many times, anyone's mentality would collapse. Even with his strong belief in Hydra, the soldier wavered after so many near-death experiences.
"Tell me where the base is, and I'll give you a quick end," Robert offered sincerely.
"Boss said if the horse talisman curse is at risk of leaking, we should immediately transfer it to another base for continued research..." The super soldier took a deep breath, smiled bitterly at Robert, and softly revealed the location.
"Okay." Robert knocked the super soldier unconscious, adding, "I'll confirm the information first..."
"Buzz!" Robert then revived the second super soldier, who was clueless about his impending ordeal.
Like the first, the second super soldier also experienced the same treatment, hiding four poison pills in his mouth, but ultimately to no avail. After having his memory read by Robert, he bit down on the poison pills, only to be tortured between life and death...
Finally unable to endure, the second super soldier confessed like the first, not hoping to survive, only seeking a quick end...
"Ah, both locations are the same. You've been honest, commendable!" Robert looked satisfied at the broken second super soldier.
"Kill me!" the soldier gritted his teeth at Robert, saying, "I'll wait for you in hell, you devil!"
"First off, I've seen devils, and I'm way handsomer than any devil, no matter from which place!" Robert shook his head, looking at the super soldier and smiling, "And if I really were a devil, you should consider that waiting for me in hell might mean continued torture..."
"Shh!" The super soldier gasped, but at that moment, Robert released a Qi wave, instantly killing both super soldiers, giving them a quick end and ensuring their bodies couldn't be used for research, allowing them a peaceful rest in hell.
