Old White's aristocratic education can still be used occasionally, such as Leo's treatment of Nissa is not so rough, dragging her directly to the ground and sliding.

With a gentlemanly demeanor, he lifted the ninja master's daughter from the ground and led her to the cellar in a posture of support.

There are two cellars in the basement of White Manor, one for wine storage and the other for winemaking.

The former was Leo's father's favorite place, and the latter was the interest of the old butler Pierponte.

Nissa grew up in the League of Assassins, and as the daughter of a ninja master, her status is no less than that of a princess of a small country, and she naturally enjoys a luxurious life like a rich man.

"Rustic idyllic design, artificial lighting, top-of-the-line constant humidity and constant temperature air conditioning...... Isn't it a bit of a waste for you to use such a place as an interrogation room? ”

Nissa barely managed to maintain her composure, not wanting to show her cowardice in front of Leo.

She knows how to deal with interrogation, whether it's brutal torture or verbal psychological warfare, staying calm is the most important thing.

The less information an interrogator gets, the harder it is to find the real weaknesses of the other side.

"It's usually my housekeeper who takes care of it, and if he gets dirty, he'll definitely nag, and the interrogation room is the next place."

Leo explained with a smile.

The underground space of White Manor is like a vast labyrinth, and they pass through the oak wine shelves where the red wines are displayed to the storage counter that stands by the wall.

Leo casually switched the order of the wine glasses placed on the counter, and a dull rumbling sound sounded, as if the mechanism was activated, and the counter immediately turned.

Behind it is a well-ventilated, well-lit secret space.

"You should be able to understand that rich people always like to get some secret rooms and things like that."

Nissa's heart pounded, and the first thing she saw was Alpha as she was pushed into the chamber.

The leader of the Shadow Warrior sat on a chair, his originally resolute face twitching, his eyes glazed over, unaware of the changes in the outside world.

Nissa called him several times in quick succession, but there was no response, just sitting in her chair in a daze, muttering something in her mouth.

"He's not going to get better for a while."

Leo pressed the ninja master's daughter to a chair, and there were many cold utensils on the table.

Among them were bloodstained pliers, scalpels that glowed coldly, brand-new medical rubber gloves and masks, and various disinfectants.

If you didn't take into account the stylized Persian carpet in the chamber, the vintage gramophone with records, and the classic movie posters on the walls, Nissa would have thought it was a private operating room.

"I didn't use any harsh punishment against Mr. Alpha, but just used the remaining six shadow warriors to conduct a medical experiment."

Leo said politely, while skillfully putting on rubber gloves and masks, wiping down the blood-stained pliers and scalpels, and disinfecting them again.

"I've gotten a lot of useful information from Mr. Alpha and the other Shadow Warriors, but according to the point of the interrogation, I should ask you again and compare them with each other to see if any of you are lying."

Nissa, sitting in a chair, gritted her teeth and tried to appear brave.

Although he was not threatened or intimidated in any way, Leo's gentle appearance seemed to be even more frightening.

"Let's go through the process first. Rest assured, it's not as scary as you think. ”

Leo is like a kind doctor, with a soft and calm voice, as if he wants to dispel the patient's inner fear in this way.

"I'm sure Sandra told you too, I met an old man in Africa who used to be a 'Stasi', his name was Friedrich, and he was very good at extorting confessions by torture - more precisely, in the hands of that guy, how to use torture is simply an art."

Seeing Nissa, whose body couldn't help but tremble slightly, Leo kindly poured the other party a glass of red wine.

"Drink some and calm your mood."

The ninja master's daughter obediently did so, but she no longer paid attention to etiquette as usual when drinking,

"Well, let's move on. Friedrich often said that punishment is an ancient art, that it is not humane or merciful, and that everything is premised on causing greater suffering to the victim. ”

Leo switched from the role of a doctor to a university professor at this moment.

As if he had treated Nissa as if he were his student, he gushed about the lesson: "Punishment has been passed down throughout history, for example, in ancient India and Southeast Asia, where 'elephant punishment' was popular, that is, driving elephants to stomp on the heads of criminals - those executors were trained by animal trainers to be able to step on them from limbs to heads. ”

"Many of the ruling class at the time still enjoyed it, just like watching gladiators fight in the Colosseum, and they never tired of it."

Nissa felt like she was falling into a dark abyss, her body gradually losing its temperature, and her hands and feet becoming colder.

She didn't even have the courage to fight back, and all that was left in her ears was Leo's clear and powerful explanation.

"I'm sorry, bear with me."

Halfway through that, Leo seemed to remember something, and shoved a tablecloth into Nissa's mouth.

"When I was talking about it earlier, Mr. Alpha wanted to bite his tongue off...... In fact, this is a very stupid way, because normally speaking, biting your tongue will not die, it will only increase your pain. ”

After taking precautions, Leo continued the topic just now, and said softly: "In addition to the 'elephant punishment', there is also the ancient Greek 'bull punishment', which locks people in a cast bronze ox and then roasts it with fire. In the Middle Ages, things like 'rat punishment' and 'piercing' became popular. ”

"Friedrich also spoke of a form of torture that originated in Mesopotamia, 'skinning,' but this requires the skill of the executor himself, and the process is extremely bloody, so we will skip it for now."

"You can't scare my ......"

Nissa seemed to be drained of her strength, and leaned back in her chair.

Fear is like a flame that spreads along the gasoline, turning into a raging fire, burning all those loyalty, courage, and faith to the ground.

"That Mr. Alpha showed the same firmness as you did, until I demonstrated my art of torture to the six surviving Shadow Warriors. But—"

Leo paused, his soft gaze resting on Nissa's body, and then said, "There is no demo object now, so you can only experience it yourself." For beautiful ladies, I would definitely not use that rough and bloody inhumane way. ”

"Did you know that in the ancient East, there was a kind of punishment called 'dripping', which was to make the victim sit on a chair, his head fixed and unable to move, with a bucket hanging above his head, and a small eye chiseled at the bottom, so that the water slowly dripped on his head."

Nissa felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave, and she suddenly felt a suffocating pressure, like a boulder pressing against her chest, and even breathing became extremely difficult.

Leo sensed this change, the curvature of the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he said in a softer tone: "This punishment was painless at first, and it took a lot of time, and it took about a year and a half to be fully implemented, but many people will collapse after three to five months!" ”

"Because over time, in the dripping water day after day, the hair of the tortured person will gradually fall out, the scalp will gradually decay, and then it will swell and crack until your skull is exposed......"

"Say no more!"

The scream stuck in his throat finally exploded.

Fear exploded like a bomb, and could only be vented with a hoarse shout.

About two minutes later, Leo injected a tranquilizer into Nissa, who was on the verge of collapse, and put her unconscious.

"I haven't even done it yet."

With a low mutter, Leo gave another shot to the bewildered Alpha, and then threw the two Assassin League leaders here.

He walked out of the chamber, left the cellar, and returned to the living room above.

I found that Tonghu and Ms. Siwa were both looking at her, and the former's expression was complicated, with an expression that wanted to speak and stopped.

The latter was triumphant, like an actor who had finished his performance, waiting for applause.

"Mr. Turner, if you have any doubts, just ask."

Leo raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a smile.

"Sir, is everything you said down there true?"

Bronze Tiger asked with some difficulty.

He and Ms. Siwa heard the conversation taking place in the cellar through the headset.

"Do you mean that I really used those inhumane punishments on the Assassin Alliance?"

The smile on Leo's lips gradually expanded, and he replied, "Of course not. I'm not a demon after all. ”
