Chapter 26 - Half a Year Later
Six months later, the facts turned out to be just as the three generations had expected.
After experiencing the "stimulating" pain and torture, the third generation did not stop. He found a potion from somewhere and gave it to Li Yao to drink.
Then Li Yao felt an itch "from the heart".
The itch may not be that intense at first.
But as soon as I reached out to scratch to try to stop the itch, it would get more and more itchy and I couldn't stop.
And this kind of itching that comes from the inside out cannot be stopped by scratching.
Scratching your skin will only make it more itchy and painful.
Don't think that itching is as stimulating to the human senses as pain.
But in fact, strong itching can also stimulate people's senses and make people's life worse than death.
Li Yao never thought that itching could torture people to the point of passing out.
When he was completely crazy with itchiness and didn't care about life or death, he directly put his hands into his chest, trying to pry open his chest with his hands, grab the heart inside and rub it hard to relieve the itch, he couldn't bear it and fainted.
Even at this point, the third generation did not let him go.
The subsequent psychological fear and torture also made Li Yao feel worse than death.
The third generation put a mouse covered with sharp and coarse hair into a bottle, then poured the bottle into Li Yao's mouth, and used a small fire escape to push the panicked mouse into Li Yao's dark throat.
That night, Li Yao watched helplessly as the rat crawled into his throat. The strange feeling, coupled with the psychological fear, made him faint again.
After that, snakes were lured into holes and centipedes crawled into ears.
How perverted, how could it break Li Yao's spirit, how could the third generation come.
Li Yao's mental state was getting worse day by day.
Finally, on this night half a year later.
The third generation, who had not yet finished dinner, suddenly received a news report at home that Li Yao had been in a coma for ten days and had not woken up no matter how they stimulated him.
"Finally collapsed!"
The third generation subconsciously thought of this the moment he heard the report, and then rushed back to the interrogation room with Bao with an excited look on his face.
"No one is allowed to come in without my order."
After opening the door of the interrogation room, the third generation gave a few instructions to the others, and then excitedly went into the interrogation room.
In the interrogation room, Li Yao lay quietly on a bed that was also a hospital bed. There was a needle inserted in his hand placed beside the bed, connected to a bottle filled with nutrient solution.
After half a year of torture, not only did Li Yao's spirit collapse, but his body collapsed even more severely. Now he can only survive by relying on nutrient solution.
At this moment, Li Yao looked like he was in his forties or fifties.
The skin is no longer smooth, but has become thick and rough as if it has experienced decades of baptism.
If you look closely, you can see a few gray hairs among the hair scattered on the bedside.
This is not the natural silver hair like Kakashi, but the aging of hair after the body enters the aging stage.
The torture of half a year basically focused on the destruction of the physical body.
There is a limit to the number of times human cells can divide.
The third generation continuously destroyed Li Yao's body, and then used medical ninjutsu to quickly regenerate it, which greatly consumed the lifespan of Li Yao's body cells.
This resulted in his body entering the aging stage in just half a year.
This also shows how horrific and brutal the torture Li Yao has endured in the past six months.
"Illusion - Darkness Walking Technique!"
The third generation came to Li Yao's bedside and immediately cast an illusion at Li Yao.
Whether Li Yao's spirit will collapse or not depends mainly on whether his illusion can succeed.
"Um?"
"What's going on?"
The third generation suddenly looked around in shock.
black!
Unimaginably black!
There is no other color except black.
"This guy... actually bounced back my Dark Movement Technique?!!"
The third generation was confused and shocked. Shouldn't this guy have suffered a mental breakdown and be unable to control his own chakra?
Why is it that now not only is the spiritual consciousness closely integrated with one's own chakra, but it is even stronger.
The key is that it can actually bounce back its own illusion!
This shocked the Third Hokage. He was the Third Hokage, one of the few ninjas standing at the top of the ninja world. Who could rebound the illusion and make himself fall into it?
Even the Uchiha clan's three magatama or even the Mangekyō Sharingan could not bounce back his illusion so easily.
However, now a person who had been tortured by him for half a year and was suspected of having a mental breakdown had done it. How could this not shock the third generation?
"untie!"
The third generation quickly formed seals with his hands to break the rebounding illusion - the Darkness Walking Technique.
The darkness dissipated, and the third generation, who had regained his vision, looked at Li Yao lying on the hospital bed, a trace of deep fear flashing in his eyes.
This person must not be allowed to stay!
The fact that he could easily rebound the Darkness Technique showed that he had a high talent for illusion. Coupled with his natural ability to be immune to all chakra invasions, the only person in this world who could resist his illusion was probably the Uchiha clan's Mangekyō Sharingan, who was good at illusion.
The third generation asked himself if he could withstand it with his own strength.
If he couldn't hold on, it would mean that if he met Li Yao in his prime, he would be killed instantly.
Powerful illusion-type ninjas are just so unreasonable.
Especially in a one-on-one situation, death is almost certain.
A guy like this must not be allowed to escape alive.
But...what if I could get the secret of this guy's talent?
Thinking of this, a burning light of desire flashed in the eyes of the third generation again.
The ability that makes him fearful also makes him desire it.
But... looking at Li Yao, whose spirit did not collapse no matter how he tortured it, and might even become stronger, the third generation felt helpless.
Over the past six months, he had used all kinds of mentally unbearable torture methods, but now none of them worked. He didn't know how to pry open Li Yao's mental will next.
"Continue to torture?"
The third generation frowned and thought about it, then shook his head.
"it's useless."
"If you continue to torture him, this guy will die."
Li Yao's body seemed to be just entering the aging stage, but in fact, it was more serious than it looked.
The time it took for Luan's medical ninjutsu to heal Li Yao's injuries was getting longer and longer.
Sometimes, a wound the size of a willow leaf needs to be treated with palm magic for half a day before it can heal.
It can be seen that Li Yao's body was on the verge of collapse at this time.
If he continued to use physical torture to increase his injuries, Li Yao's body might completely lose its vitality. No matter how he used the Palm Immortal Technique, the wound would not be able to heal, and he would eventually die.
Although the third generation would not let Li Yao live forever, he did not want Li Yao to die now.
"How is he?"
The third generation called Luan in. He wanted to know Li Yao's physical condition and why he hadn't woken up yet. Not only did his mental will not collapse, but it had become stronger?
In the past six months, Luan, who has been treating Li Yao, is very familiar with Li Yao's physical condition.
Ran explained, "Hokage-sama, he should be in a vegetative state now. His spiritual will has completely abandoned his body and entered into a state of dormancy."
The spiritual will gave up the physical body... Does that mean that the memories in his mind can be explored?
The third generation's eyes lit up, thinking it was very likely, and he immediately asked the Explosion outside to notify Yamanaka Jiayu to come over.
