-----------------------------------------
Upon seeing the Great Devil enter the interrogation room, many people touched their pounding chests.
Relieved.
Some who were standing at attention, sat down with their knees still shaking.
They are saved!
Then they automatically gathered in groups to gossip.
"It's said he will give Marshal Zhou Shan a courtesy call."
A marshal laughed hilariously. "Courtesy call my ass! Once Head Yu finish with him, Zhou Shan would wish he could crawl back to his mother's womb!"
They all laugh.
They laugh but they know the truth.
The Great Devil never jokes.
"Marshal Zhou Shan is one tough nut to crack."
"If only he cooperated with Marshal Han yesterday, Zhou Shan wouldn't have to meet the Great Devil today."
"Well, Zhou Shan will learn. He will learn how to be a good boy after his session with Head Yu."
"If he knows how to grovel before Head Yu, he might have a chance to still come out in his right mind..." One muttered in mirth.
"It would have been much better if he just washed his neck clean. Its the easiest most painless way out."
"Yeah, it's better to have your head cut off than suffer from the Great Devil's torture." A Deputy shivered in fright.
The best in torture.
Its the Great Devil himself.
They all wanted to see what Head Yu will do with Marshal Zhou Shan.
But even if someone lends them a million courage, they might not want to witness the Great Devil in action.
Forget about seeing. Not even a peep. They might have another new round of night terrors if they see the Great Devil's cruelty.
-----------------------------------------
Entering the interrogation room, Yuan saw Zhou Shan already sitting opposite him. He raised his brow in surprise.
Excited to see him? Yuan chuckled without humor.
The guard who heard Yuan's chuckle almost pissed on his trousers.
Mother! Head Yu Yuan is scary!
Zhou Shan stared at Yuan fearlessly. Although he was outwardly showing his tough side, he can feel his body sweating and getting cold.
He can even feel his liver quaking in fear! This is the Great Devil himself!
Zhou Shan wants to cry.
"Head Marshal Yu." Zhou Shan greeted politely. His voice with a slight tremor.
"uhm." Yuan responded lightly.
He then asked the guard to call Marshal Han Lan and Chief Marshal Liu Shou.
While waiting, he asked a subordinate for a rat. Had the rat bind its feet by a rope laden with a heavy stone.
Yuan glanced at Zhou Shan's feet. "Tie the rope securely so it won't escape."
Zhou Shan believed Yuan was aiming at him. He was even more nervous and is overwhelmed with intense panic.
He can feel his soul about to fly away!
"Not yet?" Yuan looked at the still closed door.
"Someone already called both the Chief and Marshal." Another guard respectfully reported.
"uhm." Yuan hummed carelessly. Then glanced again at Zhou Shan's feet. Then retreated his eyes again.
Yuan now focused his gaze at the wall behind Zhou Shan with a careless, nonchalant expression.
Zhou Shan's back is already drenched in cold sweat. He is swamped with anxiety, horror and fright.
He already wants to spit out all he knows!
He regretted! He really regretted not saying anything yesterday!
When he was about to open his mouth ready to talk, the door opened.
"Head Yu." Han Lan called out with a smile glancing at Zhou Shan. Then he shook his head and clicked his tongue twice at him playfully.
"Head Yu." Liu Shou called out.
"uhm."
Upon seeing them, Yuan then asked the guard to bring a stove with a pan half filled with water. Also requested, if its convenient, to place the stove on the ground.
"So everyone can see the excitement." Yuan murmured darkly.
Then he asked the guard to fire the stove and heat the pan with water. He wants the water to boil.
"I want to see how a rat can escape torture." Yuan glanced again at Zhou Shan's feet. Then retreated his eyes quickly. As if it was unintentional.
Zhou Shan : !!!!
"Can you stab the rat a little? A little slice on the belly will do. Not too much blood. Just enough to see a line of blood." Yuan asked the guard.
Then confided in a loud whisper, "I'm afraid of blood. So please just a little cut only."
Zhou Shan : !!!!
Han Man : !!!!
Liu Shou : !!!!
The guard felt choked by Yuan's whisper. "Yes, Head Yu. A superficial cut only."
"uhm."
Next he asked the rat, together with the stone, to be placed on the heated pan.
They observed how the rat fiercely struggled to get free and swim out from the hot water.
But the rat was weighed down by the stone tied on its feet.
They can clearly see the rat's desperate struggle as it gave a harsh, piercing screech of pain and terror.
The water is now boiling.
The rat was thrashing so hard, twitching twice as hard. Its belly bloated.
Boom!
The rat's cut on the belly exploded!
Its gut came bursting out.
Then the water is slowly dyed with blood.
On top of the boiling water, you can see the gut floating.
But still connected to the rat's belly!
The rat is still alive... struggling, fighting.
It was a horror to watch seeing the rat scuffling violently. Trying its best to resist and survive.
It gave a last sharp cry, jerked twice, thrice, then stopped moving.
Silence.
Everyone, aside from Yuan, was swallowing back their vomit.
"Not exciting enough. It's still a quick death." Yuan whispered with regret.
His voice is implying the torture is not enough to satisfy his appetite.
Then he glanced again at Zhou Shan's feet. "Let's see which rat struggles more fiercely?"
Zhou Shan's vision almost faded.
He felt faint.
Then he can feel his trousers wet. When he looked down, he saw him wetting his trousers!
He literally cried and sobbed with genuine tears!
It looks like Zhou Shan has a mental breakdown.
Han Man and Liu Shou would have burst out laughing seeing Zhou Shan crying and peeing in his trousers.
But they were both engrossed by the memory of the rat's desperate struggles. They were afraid too!
The show is really painful and horrifying to watch!
They both remembered the night Yuan massacred the Barbarians.
They shivered.
But they know their friend.
He is cruel. Very evil.
But only to his enemies.
"tsk..tsk..tsk.. I came here to play with you Zhou Shan. But it seems like... you don't welcome me here." Yuan sighed.
Yuan appeared as if he did not notice Zhou Shan's crying and the uncontrolled urination.
Yuan now openly stared at Zhou Shan's feet. " How about....."
Before Yuan could finish his advise, Zhou Shan was already slumped on the chair. Like a puppet falling with its strings cut out.
Zhou Shan fainted!
Han Man : !!!!
Liu Shou : !!!!
Yuan : !!!!
With no choice, Yuan stood up and brushed off his trousers. As if dusting or sweeping away his disgust.
" If he doesn't spill out his guts today, I will let him taste what a true night terror is." Yuan said with cold cruelty in his voice, then left.
As Yuan got out from the building, he wondered if his Feifei was home yet?
