Enemies Are All Nourishment for My Fungi-Chapter 184 Interrogation of Jiang Hui (1)

The twins finished breakfast and happily went out to shop.

The final exam tomorrow?

Didn’t know, didn’t remember, no impression.

Ye Nai returned to her room, ordered some takeout, and lazily whiled away the morning. It was almost noon when she finally recalled the landscape of the Secret Realm in her mind, found a small grove, and used Space Teleportation to get there.

The time difference was 12 hours. It was noon in East Ridge City and the middle of the night in the Secret Realm.

As soon as Ye Nai materialized, she immediately released a large amount of spores. Combined with the spores released by the mycelium that had already grown in the grove, she tightly enveloped the area.

Like yesterday, any creature that came close would feel uncomfortable and stay away.

She was mainly safeguarding against nocturnal animals and hunters brave enough to hunt at night.

She released four young boys stored in the space and lined them up. Then, on the end where Jiang Hui stood, she placed a dim camp light, casting his face in a sickly yellow hue.

Once ready, her usual three-pronged approach played out.

She first sealed most of their vocal cords.

Then she squeezed half of their tracheas.

Next, she immobilized their limbs to prevent any flailing.

Last, she woke them using pain stimulation.

"Ah..."

The four boys slowly came to, their mouths groaned, but the sound was hardly recognizable as their own.

Even breathing was difficult; they gasped for air.

"Are you awake, young masters?"

Ye Nai lightly kicked each one, letting them know someone was nearby.

"...Ah?!"

"I was wrong, I was wrong, don’t hit me, don’t hit me!"

Some hadn’t caught on, while others quickly begged for mercy.

"Ah! My hand! My leg!"

"I can’t move! Help! Mom!"

"Who are you? What do you want to do?"

Even now, Jiang Hui tried to maintain the aura of a boss. He realized he couldn’t move his limbs, only twisting his neck to glare fiercely at Ye Nai standing at the other end.

"Didn’t I say? I’m just a freelancer running errands. Boss paid, whatever they say, I do. Otherwise, why would they spend such money on me?"

Ye Nai strolled back to Jiang Hui’s side, stood upright, and looked down at him with a smile.

"What does that person want you to do? Look, you can’t touch me."

Jiang Hui’s voice clearly trembled, facing a tough spot, he was scared enough to wet himself.

"Ah, the boss wants me to retrieve Ye Yong’s and Ye Ji’s phones."

"...Ah?!" Jiang Hui and his gang were dumbfounded, "The two of them? Aren’t they unattended?"

Hey, the parents don’t show up, but that doesn’t mean they’re dead. When kids are bullied to this extent—phones and money snatched, getting two bucks each day from you for the cheapest buns at the canteen, reduced to malnutrition in two months—the parents don’t want to get their hands dirty. Spending a bit and hiring a professional to make you vanish is better; it’s also like removing a scourge for the people. You little thugs probably don’t have parents watching over you, right? So, dead or alive, nobody cares."

"No, no, no! Don’t!"

The four screamed, but their vocal cords and tracheas were nearly sealed, making hardly any sound, barely breathing, just starting to whimper and then struggling with breath like oxygen-starved fish.

"Don’t beg, don’t complain. I’m soft-hearted. I can’t listen to this. Obey, hand over the phones. Oh yes, you’ve also spent the kids’ allowance, right? They demanded the payment codes, and the national subsidy intended for them became your pocket money. So, all the money spent needs to be replaced. The boss is kind, he’s not asking for more, just the exact amount, to avoid the accusation of adults bullying children. My boss is kind-hearted, won’t bear that blame."

"Sob, sob, we didn’t take the phones."

The four moaned a couple of times, soon realizing this also made breathing hard; they couldn’t even cry properly.

"We really didn’t take the phones, it wasn’t us who spent the money; it’s not our fault!"

"How is it not your fault? You stole the phones, didn’t you? You forced them to hand over the codes, didn’t you? Giving them two bucks a day was your doing, wasn’t it? Everything was done by you, and now you say it has nothing to do with you? Hey, even the police wouldn’t believe that, right?"

"Not ours, not ours. We really didn’t take the phones, we’ve handed them over. "

"No, don’t! Mom, save me! Mom!"

Now someone truly started crying. Completely ignoring that agitation made it harder to breathe, they thrashed a few times, then went silent, limp as a rag, like a small child throwing an inconsolable tantrum, utterly ineffective, only tears flowed unrestrictedly.

The next second, they felt intense pain originating deep within their bodies.

One by one, Ye Nai made them experience the real taste of pain in their internal organs.

Under the agony, Jiang Hui and the others tensed up. They couldn’t yell, couldn’t pass out; they were completely conscious as they endured for ten minutes, soaked in sweat, tears all dried up.

But they didn’t have incontinence. Ye Nai was controlling that; incontinence looked too ugly.

"How was the experience? Enjoyable? Falling into the hands of the enemy usually feels like this. I let you experience it in advance. Kind, right? No need to thank me."

Jiang Hui and his companions wept faintly, completely drained, their minds blank, brains failing to function.

"Alright, you’ve enjoyed enough. Recover a bit and answer my question. Who did you hand the phones over to?"

It was as if Ye Nai’s words had a magical effect. As she said "recover a bit," the four on the ground really felt a slight regain of strength, breath flowing more easily, brains functioning, though their voices were still thin and weak.

"We handed them to Brother Haozi."

Jiang Hui hadn’t spoken yet; one of the younger ones next to him tearfully confessed first.

Ye Nai strolled over to his side, looking pleasant and amiable.

"Who is Brother Haozi?"

"What’s his real name?"

"Huang Tianhao."

"Got it. Where can I usually find this Huang Tianhao?"

"I don’t know."

"Are you lying to me?"

"No, no, I’m not qualified to know."

Ye Nai walked back to Jiang Hui’s side. "So, young friend Jiang Hui knows about Brother Haozi’s matters, huh?"

"I know, but I can’t say."

Everyone has a different pain threshold. Still overwhelmed by the remnants of the pain, Jiang Hui’s voice sounded slightly drifting.

"Not telling, huh?"

Jiang Hui clenched his mouth tight.

"Alright, if you won’t say, it doesn’t matter; it’s just about spending some more money on the investigation. If the boss doesn’t pay up, how can I make money? With a full name like Huang Yuanhao, unless he runs out of this city, there’s no one money can’t find."
