Chapter 8: Interrogation time
I dragged the man's body into a room perfect for the occasion and on the way I picked up a particular tool from a kitchen which I was going to use.
I tied the man with a rope I found in his hidden bag and left him in a a position in which he was hanging from his arms,now it was time to sound proof the room as much as possible,I stuffed the random carpets in the room to block gaps in the door and in the corner of the room was a sink.I added background noise by turning on the sink slightly so it would create sound that would drown out any unnecessary noise from him,now I had to play the waiting game.
"ughhh....where am I?"the man had finally woken up and after looking around the room he turned to face me.
"w-what the hell?release me you bastard!!!"
"..."
"I said release me!!"
"shut your mouth" three words was all I needed to make him tremble but it seemed he had no intention of backing down.
"w-who the hell are you and what do you want?" he calmed down slightly,but he was in no position to ask question.
"I will be asking the questions and you will give me the answers,unless you make me force it out of you"
"heh,you cocky brat,you can't do shit,once I escape from this I will take off that mask you're wearing and hunt you and your family down"
"well lucky I don't have a family"
"wait what?"I had no time for this since the start of the festival was approaching so I decided to make a start.
"There is no need to make this harder than it is,I will ask you question and you answer"I got up from the seat and and walked to the back of the room.
"Hey don't underestimate me,I won't speak a word.What kind of torture are you gonna use anyway,a toy gun,HAHAHAHA!!"
"aren't you feeling hot?"
"eh,how the hell did you know,w-why is it so hot?"His voice started to shake,he had a distressed look on his face now.
"oversensitized nerves perhaps"I grabbed the dusty mirror from the back of the room and approached him.
"hey,what do you think would happen if the nerves under your skin were to be exposed?"I said this all with a tinge of a playful tone in there,I couldn't wait to see the look on his face.
"w-wait a minute...w-w-what do y-you mean?"After he asked this I placed the mirror in front of him and looked at him for his reaction.
"GHAHHHHHH!!!"He looked into the mirror only to see the front of his body completely lacking in skin up till his neck,during the time he was unconscious I grabbed a peeler from that old kitchen and peeled of his skin like a potato.This is exactly what I was waiting for.I approached him and started to speak .
"0.2mm under your skin is the oh so sensitive collection of nerves in your body,now what do you think would happen if I touched it?"
"Ww-WAIT A MINUTE PLEASE!!"I had no time to listen to his pathetic screaming.I touched his chest with my finger.
"AHHH STOP IM BEGGING YOU!!"the expression he was making told me everything that was going on in his mind.I could almost hear his thoughts screaming.[FUCKKK,I COULD ACTUALLY DIE!!!]
"Now then,are you willing to speak?
"Fuck you,you bastard!!"Even after pleading me to stop he still wouldn't talk.It looked like I would have to step this up a notch or two....or maybe 100.
I grabbed a specific item from his bag and showed it to him,I could see his face contrort into an expression that can only be described as despair."my oh my,quite the heavy smoker aren't you?I grabbed his lighter and set the cigarette on fire.
"N-NO ILL SPEAK ILL TELL YOU EVERYTHING JUST DON-BLAAARGHHH""I shoved the cigarette right onto his nerves and he passed out after vomiting.I wouldn't let him escape so easily.
I filled up a bucket with cold water from the sink and splashed it on his face,he immediately woke up."*pant*pant*pant* I'll tell you everything just wait"
"Good boy"I replied with an unsettling smirk on my face,"now let's get started,who are you working for?"
"..."he replied with silence.
"want another smoke?"
"Nooo!any thing but that!"
"Then start talking you idiot"
"We go by the name anti-dev,as the name suggest we see here to stop the development of esper abilities"this didn't really surprise me because I understood the general reason why.
"It seems you already know why but I'll explain anyway,due to the lack of resources and the prejudice against lower abilities people aren't able to develop there abilities anymore as much as the upper class and those with strong abilities"
It seems like I was right,esper abilities have almost limitless potential but unfortunately without any way to train or a general lack of resources can lead to people becoming "duds"this term meant those who could no longer develop there abilities after hitting a road block.This abundantly occurred to those in lower ranks since without power you couldn't afford things like going to a good school to develop abilities.
"Who is your leader?"now on to another important question.
"I seriously don't know"
I grabbed the lighter in an intimidating way.
"Okay okay calm down,although I don't get direct orders from the leader I'm informed by one of his right hand men,he goes by the name of tank,he's a real beefy guy,can't mistake him for anyone else really"
Looks I hit the jackpot here,this was some seriously good info but I was running out of time.
"onto the final question now,why are you planting bombs here?"
!!!
he tried to hide his surprise but I could see through it."surprised?well that's that's only natural,now tell me why are you doing this?"
"To announce to the world that we are here,our plan was to not only kill the high potential participants but also civillians to show that we are a force to be reckoned with and to send a message"
This all made a lot of sense to me,I had ran out of time so i guess it was time for the clean up.
Before he could even react I knocked him out with another cartoid slap,I returned the room to it's original state and using tape I wrapped the man up because I didn't want unnecessary murders,it woud take hours for him to escape even if he did wake up.
I left the room and snuck outside all the way to outside the stadium to meet up with the two idiots,looks like I've also found my alibi.
