Chapter 7: Torture is a more real existence
When Hugo left the underground hot springs, the sky was still bright, and Hugo couldn't help but sigh that the night had passed in such a hurry.
As if he had long realized that Hugo was about to come out, Thangka appeared in front of Hugo again.
"Let's go straight to the restaurant for a bite to eat. Thangka said indifferently, and Hugo stretched long and said, "Now I want to take a good bath and rest." ”
Thangka said coldly: "Let's go eat first." There was absolutely no room for manoeuvre in his tone.
Hugo shrugged his shoulders, although his body felt tired, it was also a good choice to fill his stomach first, after all, it was really bad to be awakened from hunger.
Hugo followed Thangka to the dining room, where there were two breakfasts on the table, which were also made by Akita.
Hugo sat down and asked Thangka about Sakura and the others, who told him that Sakura and Akita had gone with Akita to interrogate Maugham.
"Interrogating Maugham, with Akita?" said Hugo, puzzled.
Thangka nodded, "It was Sayuri who suggested that if Maugham didn't speak, she could let Akita give it a try." ”
Hugo took a bite of toast and said, "I didn't expect Akita to have such a ability, could it be that he can read minds?"
This was said as if it was a joke, but Hugo's body froze as if it had been struck by lightning, and he suddenly remembered something, Sayuri had devoured the soul memories of many people in order to investigate the truth of the destruction of the East Island, could it be that Akita would do the same?
Hugo's heart shuddered a little when he thought of this.
…
In the middle of the distant mountain range, there is a hidden crypt, although it is called a crypt, but the interior is of a high standard and brightly lit.
Maugham sat on a simple stone chair, his limbs fixed to the armrests and legs, completely immobile.
Although he has been imprisoned here for a few days, Maugham is in a very good mental state, like a fearless man who is indifferent to life and death.
Sakura looked at him coldly in front of him now, and finally said indifferently: "I really admire you when I see this appearance, but it's a pity that you don't have loyalty in your heart." ”
Maugham smiled indifferently and said, "I don't have anything to say with you, if you want me to say something, let the leader come to me." ”
Sakura said, "There's really no need for a leader to come forward for a traitor. ”
Maugham smiled lightly: "I heard that the leader was extremely seriously injured, and now it seems that it should be true." ”
Sakura said, "Is that why you want to see the leader?"
Maugham said: "On the one hand, through the state of the leader, I can foresee the future of the Manyan Society. ”
Sakura said, "If the Manken Society is going to perish, you will be indispensable. ”
Maugham said: "It was not my own will. ”
Sakura said, "Based on the degree of connection between you and Nightingale, it can't be considered coercion. ”
Maugham said: "I do not argue with this. ”
Sakura said, "But you're not going to say anything. ”
Maugham said, "I have nothing to say. ”
Sakura said, "So today I brought someone who can make you open your mouth." ”
Maugham raised an eyebrow and looked at Akita, who was standing not far behind Sakura.
"Is that him?" Maugham's tone was full of disdain.
Sakura said, "The facts speak for themselves. ”
Maugham slowly closed his eyes, his face indifferent.
Sakura turned to Akita and said, "It's time for you to make a move." ”
Akita licked his lips and looked at Maugham, and after a moment Akita said to Sakura and Jie, "Can you go out for a while?"
Hearing this, even Xiao Jie, who had been playing with the handheld, raised his eyes and glanced at Akita, and Sakura said, "Please, spare him a life." After saying that, he walked out of the crypt first, and Xiao Jie grinned strangely and walked out.
Soon, there was a dead silence in the crypt.
Maugham said, "Since you can ask for an order to interrogate, I must have a very unique method?"
Akita shook his head and said, "I've never interrogated anyone before. ”
Maugham opened his eyes when he heard this, his eyes full of curiosity and mockery.
"No one has ever used any punishment on me so far, do you know why?"
Akita shook his head.
Maugham tilted his head and said, "Because they want something in it." ”
Akita said, "I do want something in there, too. ”
Maugham said, "Don't use any torture instruments?"
Akita said: "That kind of means... It's inhumane. ”
"Humane?" Maugham was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud.
"I haven't heard that word in years. ”
With that, Maugham's trapped hands clenched into fists.
"I'd love to know what your so-called humane approach is. ”
Akita slowly walked up to Maugham and looked at Maugham.
"Maybe... It's going to be cruel. ”
Maugham's body stiffened, and then he looked up at Akita, and in Akita's gaze, Maugham felt a completely different gaze from before.
"Hehe, I'm a little interested in you when you say that, I hope you won't let me down. ”
Maugham paused for a moment and said, "I saw that your face was very raw, I don't think I'm from the Manyan Society." ”
Akita shook his head.
Maugham smiled: "It seems that the Comic Research Society will finally use some other means, if this is the case, I will not come to this point." ”
Akita said: "Whatever you say is small, it is not the reason for betrayal. ”
Maugham looked at Akita and said, "Have you ever betrayed or suffered betrayal from others?" Akita shook his head again.
Maugham said: "Maybe one day you will feel something similar, and you will understand me when you go through it." But now..."
Maugham said coldly: "You have to use all your means, you must know that not every so-called 'betrayer' does not have his bottom line and belief in his heart. If I do find that I can't stand your punishment, I'll chew my tongue. ”
Akita said: "Then there is no need, please take care of your tongue, it doesn't matter if you don't say a word to me, because I don't care, and I don't necessarily believe your words." What I'm trying to torture is a more real existence. ”
Maugham looked at Akita silently, and the young man in front of him may be even more terrifying than he expected.
Akita slowly stretched out his right hand, and as a strange force fluctuated in his palm, a dark ring appeared between Akita's fingers.
Maugham's brow twitched suddenly, and the keen instincts he had developed over the years of dealing with various clocks and watches told him that the ring was the torture instrument that Akita had mentioned.
Immediately afterwards, Akita pressed his palm directly on the top of Maugham's head.
"What I want to torture is a more real existence...", the phrase instantly echoed in Maugham's ears, and at that moment, Maugham suddenly realized what Akita meant by the more real existence, but it was too late.
