Looking at the few black-clad, masked men barely clinging to life, the word "human pig" suddenly popped into An Yiqing’s mind!
The most famous instance was when Empress Dowager Lv of the Han Dynasty turned Madam Qi into a human pig, even arranging for someone to "care" for her before discarding her in the latrine to die in agony, with her ears cut off and her face slashed. This was a form of torture uniquely concocted by Empress Dowager Lv to deal with Madam Qi.
The appearance of these men in black, isn’t it exactly what is described for a "human pig"?
However, looking at the miserable state of these men, An Yiqing felt no cruelty. It was not that she was heartless, but rather if these men did not die, then those who would, would be her family members!
"Miss, what do you plan to do?" An Zhifeng sidled up discreetly to An Yiqing, blocking the vicious gaze of the masked men to prevent her from seeing it.
"Extract blood samples, I want to check what exactly is hiding inside their bodies," An Yiqing replied softly, naturally noticing An Zhifeng’s actions and feeling a warmth in her heart.
"Uh... Miss, you’re not going to interrogate them?" An Zhifeng was startled and asked in a daze.
An Yiqing let out a cold laugh, "Interrogate? Even if asked, they won’t reveal anything useful! Why bother asking! The body is more honest than the heart."
Retrieving a set of equipment that had been prepared in advance in the medical room, An Yiqing took out the syringe from the medicine box, and with An Zhifeng’s help, they drew several tubes of blood from each person. Although she studied Ancient Medicine, Medicine Sect’s culture was profound and extensive, certainly not something that could be summed up by a few Silver Needles. Moreover, in the Ancient Space, Shennong Shi had left behind many methods for blood analysis, which were different from modern test tubes and microscopes, but rather a unique method passed down by Shennong.
Previously, the people she captured would die on the spot before she had the chance to interrogate them. The blood of the dead and the living are different. Therefore, this time, An Yiqing acted first, swiftly collecting their blood while they were still alive.
Having quickly completed the collection of blood samples, An Yiqing no longer paid attention to the men who looked at her as if looking at an enemy, she picked up her medicine box and turned to leave.
"Ah Feng, ask carefully, press them for even a single word if you can," she instructed.
After dropping that line, An Yiqing left with an air of nonchalance.
This was the research lab underneath the Thirteen Blood Generals Mansion, equipped with the most advanced medical equipment in the world. Sometimes, An Yiqing would often lock herself here to work on some projects.
At the moment, she was wearing a sterile coat, carrying a tray of blood samples, and bowing her head, she immersed herself in research.
Using the blood analysis method left by Shennong, An Yiqing prepared several chemical agents and then proceeded to test the blood of the men one by one.
As time ticked away, the blood in the test tubes gradually lessened, An Yiqing had already tried dozens of methods from both modern medicine and Ancient Medicine, and she began to form an idea.
Meanwhile, Gu Yelin, who had been waiting outside the research lab, was met by An Zhifeng emerging from the jail. At that moment, An Zhifeng’s complexion was poor, indeed quite unsightly.
