It's Not Easy to Be a Man After Travelling to the Future

Chapter 1143 An Excuse!

“Actually, we can just use a sedative to interrogate the two of you. However, doing so would also cause you two unrecoverable injuries,” said Ling Lan nonchalantly with her legs crossed. “So please, do spare me my time and speak for yourselves.”

“I will only give you one opportunity to explain as clearly as possible to me. It would be up to yourselves to see whether you can survive after this all ends.” After saying her piece, Ling Lan not even spared them another glance as she started to read the documents Luo Chao had prepared near her seat earlier.

She didn’t like doing such tedious work. Just looking at the numerous different documents already made her head spin. Unfortunately, in her position, she couldn’t avoid it.

Zhang Han thought for a moment before he raised his head up high and carefully said, “Actually, we didn’t want to do anything. We were just interested in Lingtian that’s all.”

It was as if his words went into deaf’s ear as Ling Lan just continued looking intently at the documents in her hands. “Those words that could fool a child aren’t necessary here.”

Teces

“Haha!” A chuckle from the side of the room entered their ears. What Luo Lang perceived as funny was not so funny to others.

“Luo Lang, ultimate level day training for one day!” Ling Lan didn’t even move her head as she gave out his punishment.

“Ul-...” Luo Lang looked at his Boss with a terrified look. That was his Boss’s level. He would definitely die on the training ground if he went through with that.

Xie Yi decisively put his hand over Luo Lang’s mouth to muffle his gasp of terror.

Hearing the slight gasp, Ling Lan sent a glare at him from the corner of her eyes. She could see Xie Yi had sweat running down his forehead while he looked at her with a fawning expression.

Ling Lan’s finger started lightly tapping the tabletop which caused the entire conference room to turn completely silent. The sweat on Xie Yi’s forehead ran down even faster, even Luo Lang had woken up from his daze and had his head down in terror. He didn’t dare to make any more noises. He was afraid if he made a scene again, his punishment would multiply.

One day’s worth of the ultimate level was already going to bring to the brink of death. If it was to multiply, he would definitely die.

Everyone in the room was worried about Luo Lang. Ever since they returned from the battle with Caesar, Boss had become even more ruthless with their training. The standard day training had leveled up to an enhanced edition, and it was already making their days a living hell. The ultimate level... even Qi Long, who was considered to be someone with a monstrous physical constitution, didn’t have the confidence that he would be able to handle it. Two days... They didn’t even dare to imagine how terrible the final outcome would be.

The chilling atmosphere in the conference room also terrified Zhang Han and Wang Junzhi. Could they actually successfully leave Lingtian alive?

Ling Lan’s finger slowly tapped the tabletop for a dozen or so times. Right when everyone’s hearts were about to jump out of their bodies, Ling Lan took back her glare and focused on Zhang Han and Wang Junzhi. She said calmly, “Don’t do anything stupid. I’m not a very patient person, you see. Next time you try to bullsh*t me, I won’t be wasting my breath and would just use a sedative.”

Ling Lan’s tone of voice was very indifferent and her expression showed that she didn’t care at all. However, this seemingly uncaring expression caused Zhang Han and Wang Junzhi’s heart to drop to the end of their stomach.

They weren’t idiots. They could clearly sense the coldness and mercilessness of Ling Lan’s words. Once Ling Lan lost her patience, what waited for them was probably the most brutal way of interrogation.

Even if they haven’t actually seen the outcome of such methods of interrogation, they had read it about in military documents. This method had a very high success rate. However, the damage it would cause to the interrogated individual was terrifying. Most would have mental regression and they eventually become mentally retarded or have dementia, etc. There were even some who had drowned in their wandering thoughts, never to be woken up ever again.

All in all, after a few sessions of interrogation, other than a few lucky survivors, the rest all had their minds broken apart.

Zhang Han’s body began to tremble in fear. He didn’t want to become a useless idiot who didn’t even know himself.

Even Wang Junzhi, who had experienced quite a bit in his life, had a deathly pale expression on his face.

Zhang Han suddenly held his body, raised his head and was about to say something, but Wang Junzhi spoke before him, “Regiment Commander Ling, I’ll talk.”

“My regiment commander and I grew up together so he would always tell me about the interesting happenings of the base. When Commander Yu gathered all the regiment commanders at the command center, it knew it was definitely to announce Regiment Commander Ling as the commander-in-chief of the base.” Wang Junzhi licked his chapped lips and smiled bitterly. “I myself, am very good at all aspects except two. One would be that I like gossip... It was because of this that I accidentally became friends with Master Ming.”

After saying all that, Wang Junzhi had an odd expression on his face. “Master Ming is usually a very tight lipped individual but after a few drinks, he would speak nonstop. When that happens, gossip, stories and rumours about everything would spill out from his mouth.”

“Lingtian’s actions of wiping out Knight Ace Mecha Clan and the two other mecha clans that came after it and then turning the tides of the main battlefield which forced Caesar to escape in panic...” Wang Junzhi raised his head and glanced at Ling Lan. His eyes filled with admiration. “I was watching everything and it made my blood boil. I admire Regiment Commander Ling and Lingtian. Knowing Regiment Commander Ling had participated in the battle, I definitely wanted to get some information about Lingtian from my regiment commander so I can calm my obsession for Lingtian.”

“With the relationship I had with my regiment commander, he of course agreed to my wishes. That was why when he knew Regiment Commander Ling was Prince Ling, he told me right away.” After saying this, Wang Junzhi had an embarrassed look on his face, “Now the second weakness I have is that I like to show off. That was why I couldn’t help but go into the virtual world and find Master Ming to show off a bit.”

After saying all this, Wang Junzhi had an honest expression on his face, “Regiment Commander Ling, I don’t harbor any ill intentions and I am not familiar with this Second Lieutenant Zhang. Thus, taking me here is definitely a mistake.”

After hearing all that he had to say, Ling Lan raised her head and glanced at Wang Junzhi coldly. “Are you done?”

Wang Junzhi nodded. “Regiment Commander Ling, I know I went against military rules so I will accept any punishment. However, I will never do anything detrimental to Lingtian or to you. I just like to gossip.”

Ling Lan turned towards Zhang Han and asked nonchalantly, “Then, what about you?”

Zhang Han seemed to feel a terrifying cold dagger slowly sliding across his abdominal muscles. He couldn’t help but tremble from the freezing cold touch.

“I went to Master Ming also because Master Ming had a lot of information that I don’t know,” Zhang Han raised his head and said with a pale expression on his face.

He wanted to get some information from Ling Lan’s expression, but Ling Lan had already returned to looking at the documents in her hands. He couldn’t find anything and could only feel a vast and limitless coldness coming at him from all directions. This coldness was slowly seeping into the crevices of his body, making him feel afraid and despair.

Just one mistake was enough to make him unable to make amends?

No, he still had a chance.

Zhang Han said calmly, “I was always considered to be useless. From when I was young, I had always wanted to make those people who called me useless to eat their words. I wanted to achieve my goals and become better, much better than my older brother... It was originally just a dream that I had. However, one day, I suddenly realized that I wasn’t useless. I had the power of the god of the virtual world, spectral abilities.”

After saying all this, the darkened expression on Zhang Han’s face instantly brightened. “At that moment, I knew my dream wasn’t just a dream anymore and that I was going to succeed one day.”
