In the palace, the atmosphere was extraordinarily grave.
The Dragon Serpent Lake Deity, a "Divine Being," demanded harshly, "Speak quickly, how did the Snake God die in the Divine Prison?"
"I... I really don't know. When I burst into the cell, the Snake... Snake God had already had his heart gouged out and was dead on the spot. It must have been... killed by the Space Escaping Rat Demon," the heavyset man said desperately, his voice weak.
By this time, he had realized that there was no escape for him and his heart sank as if dead.
The Dragon Serpent Lake Deity, upon hearing this, exclaimed angrily, "Nonsense! Confess the truth now. Why would the Space Escaping Rat, whom I sent to rescue the Snake God, kill him instead? Facing death and still not telling the truth. Someone take him away for heavy torture."
"Wait!" the "Divine Being" known as Tiger Head suddenly interjected, "How many of you were at the scene at the time? Who was responsible for interrogating the Snake God?"
