"Torture room 28, there are some very new things. Zhong Ruoxi said lightly, stretched out her jade hand and pushed the door open.

Li Qing glanced at the corner of the room, and in the corner of the room, the bald man was being pressed to the chair by two staff members in white coats for injections. The bald man had been tortured too badly by Yang before, and only a high dose of hyperstimulant could make him wake up, but when the drug drained all his energy, the result was naturally predictable.

Zhong Ruoxi stood in front of the bald man, blinked his beautiful eyes and looked at the scars all over his body, and his red lips opened lightly: "I believe now that you really tried your best." ”

Li Qing took a sip of coffee, a little embarrassed: "I can't help it." ”

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about, you and I both know that in order to get what you want, you can do anything to get what you want. And that's what humans have been doing for thousands of years. Zhong Ruoxi seemed to sense Li Qing's thoughts, and said slowly, "I just think it's a pity that a good hand was abolished by you." ”

"You also feel pity?" Li Qing said with a lot of teasing.

"I'm not a machine, why can you be embarrassed, I can't move a little compassion?" Zhong Ruoxi's lips curled, turned his head to look at Li Qing, and his eyes suddenly touched the coffee cup in his hand. Xiu Mei couldn't help frowning slightly, "What are you doing with my cup?"

Li Qing was slightly stunned: "Ah, I see it on the table..."

"I've used it before. ”

"I don't think you're dirty. Li Qingman said nonchalantly.

The corners of Zhong Ruoxi's mouth tugged slightly, pursed her lips and did not speak. The expression on the pretty face was not at all because of Li Qing's shyness in using his cup, but because of his strong disgust. Don't you think I'm dirty? I think you're dirty, okay?

Li Qing also noticed the other party's strangeness, and immediately felt a little embarrassed: "That... Give it back to you?"

"No need. Zhong Ruoxi waved her hand impatiently, her eyelids jumped slightly, and she turned around and didn't bother to take care of this thing anymore. Pulling a chair from the side, Zhong Ruoxi sat down on his own, two slender ** overlapped together, and then put a pair of jade hands on his thighs, and commanded in a low voice: "Start." ”

Standing beside Zhong Ruoxi, Li Qing stared curiously at all kinds of strange equipment around him, and finally focused his gaze on a transparent water tank in the center.

This water tank is like a crystal coffin, but there are various lines and pipes connected around it, which makes people feel very uncomfortable when they look at it.

"What is this?" Li Qing frowned and couldn't help asking.

"You'll find out in a moment. Zhong Ruoxi deliberately took a moment, and glanced at the coffee cup in Li Qing's hand out of the corner of her eye, as if she was a little unhappy.

The bald man had already woken up and yelled at Li Qing, his voice hoarse and ugly.

The staff around him hurriedly held him down, tied his hands and feet behind his back, and then carried him to the side of the water tank, stuffed the person in, and sealed the door of the tank. Immediately after that, a stream of water gushed out from a pipe connected to the tank next to it.

"Li Qing! If you spit out a word, you raised it!" The bald man's scolding voice came out of the water tank vaguely.

"Waterboarding?" Li Qing raised his hand and pointed to the water tank, shaking his head slightly, "We have also used this method, although it is not as professional as yours, but it is enough for him to stand it." The result is predictable and useless. ”

Zhong Ruoxi snorted coldly, turned her head and glanced at Li Qing, but did not speak.

Waterboarding, in which a prisoner is tied to a position where his feet are higher than his head, a towel is placed over his face, and water is poured over his face, which can cause the prisoner to feel like he is about to suffocate or drown. Like a one-way valve, water is constantly pouring in, and the towel prevents the prisoner from spitting out the water, so he can only exhale once. Even if you hold your breath, you still feel like the air is being sucked away, like a vacuum cleaner. Waterboarding has been recognized as a form of torture since the advent of the Middle Ages and has been banned by international conventions. The reason why Li Qing said this is because the situation he has seen so far is almost the same as waterboarding.

Seeing that Zhong Ruoxi ignored herself, Li Qing rolled her eyes, and had to stand there honestly, staring at the water level in the water tank rising one by one. Soon it spread behind the bald man's ears, and he could only raise his head with all his might, breathing in the increasingly thin air, and even stopping the previous scolding.

After another ten seconds, the water overflowed his ears, and the bald man began to struggle desperately, but it was all in vain, the water surface still rose unhurriedly, and soon filled the water tank, grabbed all the air, and drowned the bald man inside.

Li Qing watched intently, and after a while, he saw that the bald man had completely stopped struggling, and then suddenly realized that something was wrong, and said to Zhong Ruoxi: "It's okay, if you continue like this, you will drown him." ”

"It's not enough. Zhong Ruoxi shook his head slightly.

"Enough is enough. Li Qing's face slowly sank, "This person is very important to me, and I can't let him die until I get the news I want." ”

Zhong Ruoxi pursed her lips, stretched out a jade and pointed not far away: "Look there." ”

Li Qing looked in the direction she was pointing and saw that it was a heart rate monitoring instrument, and couldn't help but widen her eyes in surprise: "This is..."

"Look at his electrocardiogram, does it show the slightest sign of impending drowning?"

Li Qing's hand holding the coffee cup trembled slightly, a little incredulous: "How could his heartbeat be so steady?"

"It's not water in the box. Zhong Ruoxi said slowly, "It is a fluorocarbon oxide solution, also known as full liquid gas. ”

Li Qing felt a little confused: "What is that?"

"Have you ever heard of the Sensory Deprivation Tank? It has another name, the Avenger Water Prison. In the mouths of many scientists, it is called a meditation machine. ”

His body stiffened slightly, and then Li Qing couldn't help but gasp: "I didn't expect you to have such a thing." ”

"Huh. A smile welled up on Zhong Ruoxi's delicate cheeks, "Li Qing, what you see is just the tip of the iceberg. The torture equipment I have here, even if someone like you comes in, you have to be honest and obedient. ”

Li Qing didn't speak, Zhong Ruoxi lowered his head and looked at the time on his watch, and said softly, "Wait twenty minutes." ”

Perceiving the deprivation of the water tank, Li Qing has long heard of this kind of thing, but he has never seen it. The total liquid gas used in the tank can simulate the effect of the amniotic fluid in the mother's womb and give the victim the necessary oxygen. This breathable liquid is so counterintuitive that few people believe it exists. Because of this, it is widely used in torture by many secret organizations.

This unknown interrogation technique was extremely effective, as the victim would have truly believed that he was going to be drowned. The combination of the experience of drowning and this sense of panic often makes the victim unaware that the fluid he is breathing is slightly thicker than water. When this fluid enters his lungs, he usually faints out of fear and wakes up in a state of complete loss of all senses. The combination of numbing agents, narcotics, and hallucinogens with a warm oxygenated liquid makes the trapped person feel completely detached from their soul and body, and completely lost on a spiritual level.

The effect of the "dead" state is frightening, but the real perceptual dissonance comes from the process of "rebirth". In the process of the tortured person getting out of the liquid, it is stimulated with bright lights, cold air, and deafening noises, which make it painful and unforgettable. After a series of processes of rebirth and drowning, the trapped person will lose all their perception and not know whether they are alive or dead, and the painful experience of death will be unbearable after several experiences, so the ultimate goal will be achieved.

There are many highly classified interrogation processes, as the prisoners have undergone special anti-torture training, and all use sensory deprivation devices similar to this tank, in order to enhance near-death hallucinations and quickly escalate fear to the limit. In other words, after a few more reincarnations, the victim will go completely insane, not even knowing whether he is alive or dead. At that point, any defense mechanism that has been established in the mind will become vulnerable.

Even Li Qing asked himself, doubting whether he could stay awake under such inhumane torture.

Time passed minute by minute, and when twenty minutes later, the bald man was dragged out of the water tank, and the whole person was in a trance, delirious.

Zhong Ruoxi said lightly to Li Qing: "Go and ask him questions." ”

In response, Li Qing handed the coffee cup to Zhong Ruoxi, walked up to the bald man with a complicated expression, and asked in a deep voice, "What's your name?"

"Jiang... Jiang Bing. The bald man gasped and trembled, looking at Li Qing with a look of fear, "Who are you?"

Li Qing didn't answer, and asked again, "What are you doing in Lingang?"

"Come and kill. ”

"Kill whom?"

"Lin Qiuqiu and Lin Yuan. ”

Li Qing nodded with satisfaction: "Who sent you?"

The bald man shuddered and lowered his head: "I can't say, I can't say..."

"Tell me, who sent you?" Li Qing took a step closer and asked again.

"It's... It's..."The bald man raised his head and stared at Li Qing tightly, and after a while, he seemed to wake up, and his eyes instantly turned scarlet, "Li Qing! Li Qing! I want to kill you!"

As he spoke, he rushed up and opened his mouth to bite Li Qing.

Moving his body back, Li Qing avoided the bald man and turned his head to look at Zhong Ruoxi.

"One more time. Zhong Ruoxi said lightly, a faint chill shrouded in delicate cheeks.

The staff grabbed the bald man back and stuffed it into the tank again.
