Ace Of Terrans

A man sat outside the house on a rocking chair. Gamma said, “Stephan, are you not resting a bit too much on the job? Should I let the boss know?”

Stephan was a middle-aged man with a burly physique. He sighed as he stood up and said, “Boss, can you not drag big boss in this conversation? You know my ability makes me like this.”

The man showed a bitter look on his face. Gamma sighed and said, “Open the cell, we have to interrogate her.”

The man glanced at Shi Lang but watching him standing behind Gamma he did not say anything and walked to the door of the house with his palm placed on the door he pushed it slightly. The door opened up like it was never closed. his was the advanced security system.

Gamma and Shi Lang followed Stephan. The boy saw a lady sitting on a wooden chair. That was the only furniture spotted by the boy inside the room. Gamma said, “Captain Lang, what do you need?”

The boy looked around and said, “A fruit knife will do, and please tie her up from the ceiling. Hanging sometimes relaxes the mind.”

His voice sounded calm and his tone was polite as if suggesting someone therapy but Stephan for some weird reason had his hair standing on the end. He never thought such simple words can make him feel. Gamma did not know what Shi Lang’s origin was, or that he has been to Ragnarok. She was just aware that Archie asked for this guy directly, and even before the test, his details were filled in.

She nodded and said, “Stefan tie her up.”

The adjutant was unconscious and her body had been put in shackles. Stephan flung the chain in her shackles over the hook after he made the lady stand up. Shi Lang took off his peaked cap and walked inside the few rooms of the house. Finally, inside the kitchen, he found what he was looking for.

A pail of cold water, and a fruit knife. He walked back to the living room and placed the pail on the chair. He asked, “If she died in the interrogation? ”

This question was aimed at Gamma, who shrugged her hands and said, “You can kill her but only after the intel is extracted.”

Shi Lang nodded and said, “Then I would like to ask you if you have some medical supplies in this place.”

Gamma raised her eyebrows and said, “Yes, we do.”

The boy nodded and walked forward to the lady hanging from the ceiling. He raised his hand and checked placed it on her nape. He checked her pulse and said, “She will come out of sedation in a few minutes. Is she discharged of her duties officially?”

Gamma shook her head and said, “No, she is still under investigation.”

The boy then raised his hands and neatly undid the buttons of his prey’s uniform. Gamma was surprised by his actions but she did not say anything. Stephan wanted to intervene but was stopped by a stern gaze from Gamma.

The boy only opened the adjutant’s shirt and stepped back. He picked up the pail of cold water and splashed it hard on her head. The cold water broke the last effect of sedatives and the lady woke up with a big gasp. She looked around and tried to move when she heard a cold voice, “Do not struggle.”

The intimidation from the voice gave her a sense of dread, making all her body feel soft. Shi Lang said, “A few things before we begin, I will ask the questions, you will answer the truth and only the truth. Every time you lie, I will know and you will receive a lesson. The lesson will make you realize that death can be better than life. For example.”

Then he took out the fruit knife from his pocket and stepped forward to the lady, then he placed the knife between her ribs and slowly stabbed it inside. The lady experienced tremendous pain, she was a four-star Terran but her body was not tempered through strong warfare or bloodshed. The boy did not say anything, letting her struggle.

After five minutes when she became used to the pain only did her struggle stop. Shi Lang smiled and said, “You are good, did not even groan. I wailed like a bitch in the first cut. Well, so getting back to business.”

He held the hilt of the knife and pulled it out slowly and this time the lady groaned. The boy was careful to make sure that there is no blood spraying over him. He asked, “Your name?”

The lady glared at him but did not reply. Shi Lang smiled and said, “Seventy-two stabs. Each more painful than the last, will not let you die and you will be at the peak of your consciousness.” then followed a slow second stab. The cut was made at the diaphragm.

This time the lady grunted loudly. She was trying to hold back the pain. Shi Lang waited and said, “I have all the time in the world, and I have all the means in the world. The dossier tells me that your family has a long lineage of military servants? You are the only one in your generation, so how about I call your family and give them the news that you turned out to be a twisted prick and conspired against your commanding officer, who holds so much merit?”

The lady was shocked when these words came out. Not only her but even the rest of the people were surprised. This was a cruel mind game. Gamma did not expect this boy to aim at breaking the lady completely, by any means necessary.
